The next day, police arrested her boyfriend, Daniel Winkler. According to the Stockton Police Department, officers received a report about 9:45 a.m....
This is a cheerful one for your evening nightcap. Even though it is about a helicopter crash, all’s well that ends well, which hasn’t happened a lot lately. Most importantly, it didn’t happen in the United States, which is one less thing our Transportation Secretary has to worry about. Now for the story as the...
A 40-year-old man who identifies as a “queer scientist” has been charged with two separate acts of arson in New Mexico. One targeted a Tesla outlet and the other the GOP headquarters in Albuquerque. [Jamison] Wagner is a registered Democrat and supporter of a variety of left-wing causes, according to his social media postings. According...
I’m going to gloss over all the criticism of Trump’s tariffs from the left because, well, so few of the critiques are made in good faith. There are liberal free traders out there. Establishment economists who have consistent theories of how the economy works and actually believe what they say–yes, such people DO exist, even...
“This is an agenda I don’t understand,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tells Sandra Smith this morning. It’s that lack of understanding that is itself difficult to understand. The source of this radical push to obliterate sexual identity has a clear pedigree and a clear purpose. And the reluctance of even the more pugilistic Republicans...
Harvard has been under increasing pressure from the Trump administration this month. Back on April 3rd, the administration sent a letter making it clear that Harvard’s federal funding was contingent on the university’s willingness to make changes including the elimination of DEI policies. The Trump administration demanded on Thursday that Harvard eliminate diversity, equity, and...
Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of England and he of ‘Two Tier’ policing fame, has yet more dishonor to heap on what is supposed to be his British plate, although that is increasingly questionable. Early in his term (back in September 2024), the PM and his ruling party introduced something called ‘Respect Orders.’ Labour had always...
Remember the halcyon days after the Los Angeles fire–you know, the one started by arsonists armed with climate change propane torches and power lines kept in disrepair–when the governor of California and the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, promised that they would cut through all the red tape and get rebuilding going quickly. Good...
As you probably remember, Mayor Sheng Thao of Oakland was recalled last November after an FBI raid of her home last year. Thao had denied any wrongdoing but she was indicted in January. All of that set up a special election to replace Thao which will take place tomorrow. There are about a dozen candidates...
Today seems as good a time as any for reflecting upon the inanities that have been raised above we mere mortal knuckle-draggers, both in a literal and figurative sense. Space cadets springs to mind, thanks to fawning coverage of Jeff Bezos spending God knows how much money to send his plastic squeeze and some other...
Anti-Israel activists at Georgetown University made some news Friday morning when a group of about 15 masked people entered a building on campus as part of a protest. …the approximately 15 student protesters were standing and chanting on the stairs to the second floor of Healy Hall. GUPD officers and Associate Vice President for Student...
Why am I not surprised that Taylor Lorenz has Che Fever? And why am I not surprised that she’s trying to claim she never had it in the first place? If you missed David’s post on Murder Chic this morning, be sure to read it now. A clip of Lorenz discussing the weird Karen love for...
What a find! We now know without doubt that the Teotihuacan culture, the “prehistoric heart” of what is now Mexico, was a thriving community dedicated to helping men ascend the spiritual ladder to become gods. How do we know? Archaeologists have discovered a temple where priests sacrificed children. Ancient altar found in Guatemala jungle apparently...
I haven’t had one of these stories in a while to fuss over, with everything going on in the world and that’s a good thing. Plus, there’s the fact that the Trump administration has been cooling some serious jets on the renewable scam side of the house, so perhaps the potential for building bigger and...
Give San Francisco this much credit: at least their latest art installation doesn’t prompt any confusion over what it depicts. We think, anyway. But we’ll get to that point shortly. These days, civic art installations usually take the form of modern-art monstrosities, especially sculpture. The most common reaction to these municipal art choices is inevitably,...
