wtf
A northern California robbery suspect won’t face murder charges in the deadly shooting of a gas station clerk in Antioch last weekend since the suspect allegedly returned fire at the clerk — which, under the law, can be considered self-defense, KTVU-TV reported.
Brandy Zadrozny’s appearance on Friday’s The 11th Hour on MSNBC with host Stephanie Ruhle raised the question of whether or not the duo read the same Twitter thread as everybody else, because Zadrozny claimed Matt Taibbi’s thread detailing how Twitter suppressed the New York Post article on Hunter Biden’s laptop actually makes Twitter look good.
Authorities in North Carolina said Saturday that a power outage affecting tens of thousands of people is being investigated as a “criminal occurrence.”
Gov. Roy Cooper issued a statement Sunday morning about outages and said that an investigation is underway.
He wrote that “I have spoken with Duke Energy and state law enforcement officials about the power outages in Moore County. They are investigating and working to return electricity to those impacted. The state is providing support as needed.”
Something is rotten in Canada.
Our neighbors to the north in Ontario arrested 23 pedophiles in a sting: Some for possessing kiddie porn, some for producing the material, and others for sexual assault.

As the last light of a sticky autumn afternoon ebbs towards darkness, Carles Conejero counts his syringes. ‘One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,’ he whispers to himself, tapping a grubby index finger on each as he goes. ‘Good, yes, that’s good.’
We are in a quiet residential street in the west of Barcelona. One side is lined by chic gated properties; the other by rough, unlit shrubland. A few metres away, three tanned, unshaven locals loiter with intent next to a white van. They are all wearing faded T-shirts and denim shorts. One carries a large stick; another an iPad; the third the air of a man who could do with a prop.
Worse than racoons?
WTF?
Here's my 2-minute summary of last night's ridiculous woke seminar, "Journalists and Online Hate". 🤡
How can normies, like us, deal with this Woke Ideology Cult?

Rightwing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones filed for personal chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Texas on Friday, according to a court filing, as he faces nearly $1.5bn in court judgments over conspiracy theories he spread about the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre.
Jones was ordered by a Connecticut court last month to pay $473m in punitive damages on top of a nearly $1bn verdict handed down in October for his defamatory lies that the shooting was faked.
Canada has sanctioned a high-profile former Tehran police chief whose appearance at a Toronto-area gym last year sparked outrage and allegations that Canada is a haven for high-ranking members of Iran’s regime and their relatives.
Morteza Talaei is a retired second brigadier general with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and was in charge of Tehran’s police in 2003 when Iranian-Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi was beaten to death in custody.
Kazemi was arrested in 2003 for taking photos of Tehran’s notorious Evin prison, where protests were taking place over students detained by the regime.
Hate rats? Are you a “somewhat bloodthirsty” New Yorker with excellent communication skills and “a general aura of bad assery”? Then you might have what it takes to be the city’s new rat tsar.
City mayor Eric Adams’s administration posted a job listing this week seeking someone to lead the city’s long-running battle against rats. The official job title is “director of rodent mitigation,” although it was promptly dubbed the rat tsar. Salary range is $120,000 to $170,000.
“The ideal candidate is highly motivated and somewhat bloodthirsty, determined to look at all solutions from various angles, including improving operational efficiency, data collection, technology innovation, trash management, and wholesale slaughter,” reads that ad. The posting is whimsical, but the job is daunting.
After an energy-hungry Germany was snubbed by Canada, Berlin has instead gone all-in on a gas contract with Qatar, the small, autocratic nation currently hosting the World Cup.
This week, German firms announced a 15-year contract to buy roughly two million tonnes of LNG per year of Qatari natural gas.
After years of somehow evading scrutiny, one of the last federal programs to still bear the name “Christmas” appears to have finally been purged.
It’s comical at this point how global leaders demand a new world order in front of a swastika

Whoopi Goldberg, on Wednesday, again went off on Christians — “religious people,” as the co-host of “The View” is fond of sneering — lying to herself and the hopelessly left-wing show’s audience about the awful injustices foisted on the LGBT crowd by evil Christians.
Kanye West said he ‘likes’ and ‘loves’ Hitler’, defended Nazis and denied the Holocaust on Thursday during an unhinged appearance on Alex Jones’ podcast Infowars that many viewers described as a live on-air mental breakdown.
Wearing a fabric mask to cover his entire face, West ranted: ‘I see good things about Hilter… every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.’
Later, he said the Germans ‘had a really good leader at one point’, and denied that Hitler had ordered the deaths of 6 million Jews.
