At a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman and Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell gave an update on the murders of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Singer Reiner. Hochman announced that he would be filing charges against Nick Reiner on two counts of first degree murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders. Reiner also faces a special allegation that he "personally used" a dangerous and deadly weapon – a knife – in the commission of those murders. The charges, according to Hochman, carry a maximum sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole or the death penalty.

Fortunately, LA now has a 'legitimate' district attorney. Also, I'm thinking this article misstated the maximum sentence?? Shouldn't it be "...life in prison withOUT the possibility of parole or the death penalty." ?

Richard Ramirez (Night Stalker) was on death row in California for 24 years and died of cancer waiting to be executed. I wouldn't hold my breath.

The first thing Newsom did when he became governor, was to order the dismantling of the death chamber at San Quentin. I doubt the DA will ultimately charge Reiner with the death penalty.

Life. Possibly paroled in 20-25 years. He won't get the death penalty and you can be sure his lawyers will plead mental illness and addiction. Still, a sad end to a sad life.

#8, why would addiction keep him from getting the death penalty? If a person chooses to do drugs, it shouldn't be a pass to get out of any crimes they might commit. Alcohol can also be an addiction but if you get drunk and then drive and injure or kill someone, you don't get a free pass just because you are addicted to alcohol. Of course, this did happen in California and laws are different for the rich and/or famous.

Socialism Is Always Evil and Hideous—Never ‘Gorgeous’ 9 replies

Hollywood imbecile Amanda Seyfried thinks that “socialism is a gorgeous idea.” While on a media tour promoting her latest movie, “The Testament of Ann Lee,” Seyfried told Variety that most people don’t “understand what the word [socialism] actually means.” “For me, it’s taking care of each other. If I have more money, I can spend more money on other people,” Seyfried said in defense of socialism. Sadly, Seyfried is a moron who knows nearly nothing about the hideous history of socialism. Moreover, her assertion that socialism is beneficial to society and results in people taking care of each other is absurd. Every time socialism has been implemented, it has led to mass poverty,

The White House Rapid Response account has posted the clip below from Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Ilhan Omar’s interview with her fan Esme Murphy on CBS Minnesota yesterday. Murphy began this hard-hitting interview with her characteristic fangirl approach to Democrats, striking her usual tone with her first question: “I do want to ask first of all, how are you and what is it like being the focus of a president’s ire repeatedly over and over again?” Hey, Esme, skip to the easy questions! She takes Chris Farley’s tack with Paul McCartney: “How can you be so great?” However, Farley was engaged in comedy. In the clip, Omar addresses the facts

Where are all these mysterious "right-wing extremists" the left loves to yap about? This talking point seems to come out every time there's a terrorist attack or mass murder event, and the perp, when identified, is never a "right-wing extremist." Case in point: The jihadi attackers in the infamous Bondi Beach attack; their motivation isn't hard to work out, but in a statement about that event, Australia's Labor Party Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had to trot out that old bugaboo. (Snip) Now, I'm willing to concede that the prime minister may have simply been reacting to a comment from someone else, but this happens so often

A recent Washington Post article about a trans comedian starts out with the following passage,As far as questions go, this is an easy one.What have you done before?’ the judge asks Jamie Mack. (Snip) I got that far into it when I had to ask myself what just happened. Then, I realized that the author had just mobilized the English language to confound me. As a good liberal and Washington Post reporter, he was doing what is expected of him. Modern leftist etiquette dictates that we should all mangle the English language to comply with the needs of a transvestite; he was now called a “they.” The story that the author recounts is typical.

Norway Avoids ‘Green’ Energy Quicksand 4 replies

While the rest of Europe shivers under the self-imposed austerity of net zero mandates, Norway in the frozen north is keeping the lights on and the bank vaults full as it avoids the “green” ideological quicksand that has defined the continent’s energy policy. Despite pressures to decarbonize, Norway has increased efforts to exploit oil and natural gas reserves. The crown jewel of this fossil fuel renaissance is the Johan Castberg field. Located in the Barents Sea, 100 kilometers north of the 20-year-old Snøhvit natural gas field, Johan Castberg is expected to be a beast of a producer—450 million–650 million barrels over 30 years, with a peak daily capacity of 220,000 barrels.

Long-time readers may remember that I used to cover the main international beauty pageants, Miss Universe and Miss World. Why? Two reasons: I generally admired the young women who competed in them, and it seemed like almost every time, an interesting news story would emerge from the pageant. Plus, it was fun to post photos of contestants and identify favorites. So why did I stop? To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, I didn’t leave the pageants, the pageants left me. They became politically correct; they downgraded the swimsuit competition or abandoned it completely; and, worst of all, they started producing terrible web sites with zero content that would make it possible to write

Among the first things I taught my new students at the beginning of every new school year was the difference between deference and respect. One defers to others because of their position of authority, regardless of whether they are honest, honorable, decent and capable. Respect, however, must be earned every day. We defer to others because of their positions and to a lesser degree, their accomplishments. We respect others because of who they are, because they’ve proved themselves worthy of our respect regardless of their positions of authority. In the military, you defer to rank, but you respect those who don’t trade on it, or who fling their accomplishments

For years, politicians managed to hide the damage caused by the green transformation. Now, deep cracks are appearing in municipal finances amid the severe economic crisis gripping the country. Cities like Stuttgart serve as showcases for the future of the republic. For a long time, Stuttgart’s city treasurer was more than just a steward of solid numbers. He was regarded as the uncrowned king of fiscal policy in the region -- and held a position envied by many colleagues. The robust foundation of the automotive industry and its extensive supplier network funneled generous tax revenues into the city’s coffers for years, particularly from trade taxes.

When Joe Biden announced his presidential library plans back in September, the writing was already on the wall. Donors were checked out, interest was nonexistent, and the whole thing smelled like a vanity project nobody wanted to fund. Now, a New York Times article confirms what was painfully obvious from the start — Biden's library is turning into an epic fundraising disaster. The numbers are embarrassing. According to the report, Biden's library foundation received no new donations in 2024, the final year of his presidency. All of its initial funding — a measly $4 million — came from leftover cash from Biden's 2021 inauguration, not from donors eager to immortalize his

President Trump lodged an eye-watering $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC on Monday, accusing the British broadcaster of defaming him through a deceptive edit of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech at the White House Ellipse. The lawsuit took aim at a 2024 documentary by the BBC, which spliced different sections of Trump’s comments before his supporters ransacked the Capitol to make it appear as though he explicitly encouraged the riot. “I’m suing the BBC for putting words in my mouth, literally,” Trump grumbled to reporters earlier in the day, Monday. “They actually put terrible words in my mouth having to do with January 6th that I didn’t say.”

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for more gun control in response to Saturday’s handgun attack at gun-free Brown University. He did not mention the school’s gun-free policy nor that it goes so far as to prevent concealed carry permit holders from being armed on campus for self-defense. Instead, Schumer went with the standard Democrat talking point of pushing more gun laws after extant gun control fails to prevent a criminal from acting out his heinous intentions. Forbes posted video of Schumer claiming Australia is showing “courage” by seeking ways to expand and implement new gun controls after the Bondi Beach terror attack.

President Donald Trump’s tasteless comments following the apparent murder of Hollywood legend Rob Reiner on Sunday showed that the president, at least on that occasion, had a speck in his eye. Before criticizing Trump, however, liberals should make sure to remove the logs from their own eyes. (Matthew 7:3) Recall, for instance, that a swarm of liberals, including Reiner himself, once greeted news of the late conservative media icon Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis — and later Limbaugh’s death — with politically-motivated heartlessness. “Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal if Freedom at The State of the Union: I loathe this *****g man,” Reiner wrote

Instead the terror refugee got into a confrontation with police and died in an exchange of fire. North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley insisted that there was ‘no evidence of political, racial or religious motivation’. “At this point it seems [no] more notable that he’s Muslim than I’m Lutheran,” he bafflingly argued. He also dismissed footage of Mohamad holding a Koran.

The Bondi Beach attack in Australia was shocking, but not at all surprising. Some of the details were distinctive — an idyllic spot on the Pacific Ocean instantly turned into a killing field; a father-son terror squad — but the basic picture of radicalized Muslim immigrants targeting a gathering of Jews was drearily familiar. These events follow the same pattern because the fundamentalist version of Islam is, at its root, hostile to Jews. Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that there was a refugee flow of Unitarians, and some proportion of those Unitarians were antagonistic to traditional Christians — such that they vandalized their businesses, harassed them in the streets,

Kassem is already a part of Mamdani’s inner circle, serving as a legal affairs adviser on the transition team. He also teaches law at the City University of New York, further underscoring the ideological extremism he intends to bring into City Hall. Kassem, 47, was one of the attorneys who defended Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian-born leader of the pro-Palestinian
