Note To Young Punks

Try any elder abuse w/ this reporter & you are lying in a pool of your blood in a supermarket parking lot, you rotten little bastards.
An 83-year-old man got into a fight with another man, 31, at an Amazon Fresh in southwest Los Angeles on Tuesday and fatally shot the younger man, according to Los Angeles police.

The octogenarian suspect was arrested late Tuesday afternoon, the LAPD reported.

The shooting was first reported at 4:05 p.m. in the 6800 block of La Cienega Boulevard.

The 31-year-old shooting victim was pronounced dead at the scene by the Los Angeles Fire Department. His identity has yet to be released by officials.

The Los Angeles Police Department did not say whether the shooting occurred inside or outside the business.

The suspect was arrested shortly after the incident and was in police custody. No further details were immediately available.

This man must be freed immediately. Self-defense, stand your ground, & get off my lawn!!

UPDATE: And, per the up-dated story I found when I checked the link, leave my woman alone too. New headline:

80-year-old kills 30-year-old man in fight over a woman, police say

Note that the shooter lost two yrs., while the victim lost one. New third paragraph:
Police reported the victim and the suspect got into a dispute in the parking lot over a woman. The dispute escalated until the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot the victim once, authorities said.

Parental Rights In Florida

Meredith Deliso / ABC News:
Apparently Florida parents have rights, but no responsibilities. And where was Jesus? In church w/ mom & dad for three hrs.? Apparently he was not on board.
Mins. Later: To be fair, it isn't just F-L-A, as I just discovered.
Dennis Romero / NBC News:
3 young children die in separate hot-car incidents across the U.S.  —  The deaths happened in Washington state, Texas and Florida between May 24 and Sunday, and doubled the number of hot car fatalities compared to this time last year.  —  Three young children died in recent days after they were found unattended in vehicles in separate incidents in Washington state, Texas, and Florida, authorities said.

The fatalities boosted the number of hot-car deaths for children this year to six, double the number at this time last year, according to Jan Null, a California meteorologist who tracks the incidents.
Not to worry; this means we're back to "normal".
In 2020 and 2021, the annual numbers for child deaths in hot cars — 25 and 23, respectively — were each less than half the figure for 2019: 53. In total, 33 such deaths were reported last year, according to NoHeatStrokeDeath.org.

The numbers are not encouraging because at this time last year, three deaths had been reported, Null said. It's a sign the nation is returning to post-pandemic normalcy, he said.

Fascism Comes To Nova Scotia!

Wake up, Canada!!

Premier puts all woods on lockdown. You're being turned into submissive sheep who'll do anything you're told.No mining or forestry? He's destroying Nova Scotia's economy! SOCIALISM!!!

The Unknown Soldier

Decoration Day (Actual)

Channel surfed across a horribly unrestored version of this on Newsmax, where it was identified as "True Glory: Eisenhower Narrates WWII". Morons. Ike does a quick intro, & credits "the really important men in this campaign ... the enlisted soldiers, sailors & airmen", most of the rest of the narration is readings of letters home & the like from ordinary Joes & Jills, Ken Burns-style.

Aficionados of the genre may appreciate that it's more than U.S. footage & action; it's presented by "The Governments
of Great Britain and the United States of America", & there's footage from British & Canadian forces, & the free forces
of several countries the Krauts conquered. There was a fair amount of U.S. footage I hadn't seen, & I've watched a lot of these things. I like a movie w/ a happy ending.

Infrastructure Report

If rising oceans aren’t worry enough, add this to the risks New York City faces: The metropolis is slowly sinking into the Hudson and surrounding waters — weighed down by skyscrapers, apartment buildings, asphalt, concrete and humanity itself.
You corn-fed slobs. Sinking yourselves in your own effluvia. Can't fight gravity.

Southern Post-Secondary Education:
A Continuing Series

Coach's favorite pose, from Ole Miss to today.
Friday we found links concerning how much moolah Senator Coach Tubby-Town has raked in from various educational institutions while bitching about raises for real teachers & getting some racism in.
Official portrait.
But what's his educational record as the doubtlessly highest-paid instructor in Alabama? Typical. Coach makes millions & the "student"-athletes don't even get an education, let alone paid.
Twitter photo.
Shove that stupid damn ball right up your ignorant ass, Coach.

Continuing Christian Crimes Against Nature

Is this what's called "grooming"?
Sky Palma / DeadState:
Pastor at Christian college arrested for letting his ‘spiritual mentor’ sexually abuse young boys  —  Police in Waco, Texas, arrested the former pastor at Baylor University on charges that he allowed a sex offender he called his “spiritual mentor” to sexually abuse two young relatives, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported.
Ah yes, good ol' B.U., where Kenneth Starr was welcomed w/ open arms. Looks like an entire culture of Xian sex crime & grooming. That "spiritual mentor" must've "groomed" the living shit out of the pastor for him to turn his young relatives over.

Footsball-Coachin' Sen. Fumbles

William Thornton / al.com:
Tuberville on inner city teachers: 'I don't know whether they can read and write'  —  U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville in a wide-ranging interview with Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday decried the quality of public school education, saying children today are “addicted” to social media and yet don't have basic proficiency in math and reading.
If there are inner city teachers who can't read or write, it's a fair bet they're Auburn or Texas Tech grads.

What this piece of shit made from a public university for teaching a children's game:
AUBURN | Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville has signed a new seven-year contract that will pay him $2 million this year and increase by $200,000 each successive year.

Tuberville and the school agreed in principle to the deal in December, about a week before the Tigers completed a 13-0 season with a 16-13 victory over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl.

The contract announced Thursday by the school will pay Tuberville a base salary of $210,000, with the remainder coming from endorsements and radio and television deals. Tuberville's previous package was worth $1.5 million.

Then:

Despite Tuberville quitting, Auburn will pay buyout

Nice work if you can quit it & still be paid. Guess what Senator Tubby's thoughts on unemployment benefits are.

Tuberville was paid $5 million to quit. Now he says $600 is too much for you.

When the fucking hell do we start killing all the hypocrites?

Trump Whores For A-Rabs

Ben Nagle / Daily Mail:
'They have unlimited money - they love it!':  Donald Trump attempts to ramp up the excitement for LIV Golf as he turns up for first day of play at his own course in Washington DC... and says Saudis have been ‘fantastic’ for golf  — Donald Trump's DC course is hosting the latest round of LIV Golf's 2023 season
Heather Digby Parton / Salon:
Trump and the Saudis: Is Jack Smith finally looking at this clear-cut corruption?  —  Trump's links to the Saudi regime and its LIV Golf tour reek of obvious corruption.  Maybe Jack Smith has noticed  —  There's a lot of Trump legal news these days, what with the E. Jean Carroll verdict …
Didn't Trump want to keep all the Moose-limbs & A-rabs out "until we can figure out what's going on?" What's different about these Saudis? Certainly their "unlimited money" couldn't have changed his principled stand. Or is it just possible that the last three Republican presidents have been owned & operated by the Saudis?

I Checked Your Brain But There's Nothing Inside!

Sarah McBride / Bloomberg: 
Musk's Brain Implant Firm Says US Approves Human Clinical Tests  —  Neuralink Corp., Elon Musk's brain-implant company, said it received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration to conduct human clinical trials.  —  “This is the result of incredible work by the Neuralink team …
This reporter would love to see one shoved right into the Gateway Pundit's brain, if they could find it.
Guessing the same cretins who wouldn't be vaccinated (Bill Gates! 5G chips!!) literally to save their lives will be lined up around the block to have Phony Stark open their skulls & drop in a device whose battery will catch fire while it's boring holes in their gray matter w/ its "autopilot".

The eternal question, asked again:
Well done, MoDs.
