California inmate kills convicted child molester after beating him over the head with cane
[FOXNEWS] An inmate in a central Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, prison bashed a convicted child molester over the head with a cane last week, inflicting an injury so severe that it later killed him ‐ cutting the man’s life-sentence short, officials said Monday.
Goodness, that was beautifully said.
So, he completed his life sentence...
David Bobb, 48, was serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison in Corcoran. He was convicted in San Diego County for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 years old.

He and another unidentified inmate were rushed to the hospital with multiple head wounds Thursday after a third prisoner -- Jonathan Watson, 41, attacked them both with a walking cane

Police fatally shoot man who held frying pan, cleaver
[FoxNews] A police officer in north Texas fatally shot a man at an apartment complex early Tuesday after the man refused to drop a frying pan and cleaver he was holding, officials said.

One officer was stabbed in the melee but officials said the injuries aren't life-threatening.

The officers responded just before 3 a.m. to an apartment complex in Denton, about 35 miles north of Dallas, after several people called 911 to report a man banging on doors and shattering light fixtures in a hallway of the complex, Denton city officials said in a press release.

Police used a Taser on the man but it was ineffective, so an officer opened fire, striking the man, the press release said. The man was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Alaskaman filmed extracting tooth while on hoverboard convicted on 46 counts
[FoxNews] An Alaska dentist, who went viral after he was filmed riding a hoverboard while performing a dental procedure, was convicted Friday on dozens of federal and misdemeanor charges ranging from unnecessarily sedating patients to defrauding the state Medicaid program.

Seth Lookhart was convicted on 46 counts, including felony medical assistance fraud and scheming to defraud, as well as misdemeanor counts of illegally practicing dentistry and reckless endangerment, prosecutors said. Anchorage Superior Court Judge Michael Wolverton said he found the evidence presented by the state during a five-week bench trial to be “simply overwhelming.” Lookhart's corporation, Lookhart Dental LLC, which did business as Clear Creek Dental, also was convicted of 40 criminal counts.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Russia gets new government in what Putin calls major shake-up
[AlAhram] President Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
on Tuesday approved a new Russian government that kept many veteran and senior ministers in place, but brought in a new economy minister and a new first deputy prime minister.

The new government was formed less than a week after Putin unveiled a sweeping shake-up of the political system, which led to the resignation of Dmitry Medvedev as prime minister along with his entire government.

Putin went on to pick Mikhail Mishustin, a 53-year-old with almost no political profile, as his new prime minister.

On Tuesday, Putin approved the line-up of a new government.

He named Andrei Belousov, his economy advisor since 2013, as Russia's new first deputy prime minister, replacing Anton Siluanov who had held the role since May 2018.

He also approved Maxim Reshetnikov, a former regional governor, as the country's new economy minister, replacing Maxim Oreshkin.

Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, Energy Minister Alexander Novak, Agriculture Minister Dmitry Patrushev, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov all kept their jobs in government, the Kremlin said.

Chinese national arrested for smuggling Harvard cancer research in a sock
h/t Instapundit
[Campus Reform] - A medical student at Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconess Teaching Hospital was arrested after attempting to smuggle 21 vials of cancer cells out of the country in a sock.

Zhaosong Zheng was set to board a flight from Boston to Beijing, China when authorities questioned him about the vials of brown material in his checked bag. Zheng ultimately admitted that he had stolen the material in order to publish the research under his own name in China.

Main suspect in Nowshera minor girl murder case confesses to crime
[DAWN] The main suspect in the killing of minor girl case in Ziarat Kaka Sahib confessed to his crime before Judicial Magistrate Akbar Ali Mohmand, who sent him to jail on judicial remand here on Tuesday.

According to police, the suspect admitted before the court that he killed the girl in Dire Revenge because her maternal uncle had beaten him. However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome...
he rejected the charges of rape.

Police had arrested two suspects in the case. They were presented before the judicial magistrate where the co-accused rejected his involvement in the murder case.

Meanwhile,
...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck slipped the habañero into the roasted jalapeño...
DPO Kashif Zulfiqar visited the aggrieved family and ensured it of full support.

He said that he had contacted laboratory in Lahore to send the samples to it from Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire...
for DNA test.

The federal and provincial ministers, politicians and local elders also visited the hujra of the aggrieved family.

Chief Minister Mahmood Khan also paid visit to residence of the aggrieved family to condole the brutal murder of the minor girl.

Olde Tyme Religion
Pope Francis Calls Marxist Economic Summit
[Antonius Aquinas] As if there needs to be further evidence that the current occupant of St. Peter’s Chair in Rome is a Marxist, the announcement of an upcoming conference at Assisi entitled the "Economy of Francesco" should convince any skeptic otherwise.

In his invitation letter to "young economists and entrepreneurs worldwide," Bergoglio sets the agenda for the Leftist confab quite clearly which is virulently anti-market, a call for massive redistribution of wealth, and a reordering of the current economic systems of the world with a healthy dose of climate change nonesense:

. . . a different kind of economy: one that brings life not death, one that is inclusive and not exclusive, humane and not dehumanizing, one that cares for the environment and does not despoil it.*

While Bergoglio’s Marxist credentials have been firmly established, his blashemous actions and words has a growing number outside of "sedevacantist circles" calling him a heretic. The legitimacy of "Pope Francis," however, is more fundamental than him being a manifest heretic, but his standing as a legitimate pope is invalid since his ordination as a priest and his consecration as a bishop came under the new rites of Holy Orders instituted in the wake of the Second Vatican anti-Council (1962-1965).

The mastermind behind Bergoglio’s summit is professor Luigino Bruni and from his comments he sounds more radical than the Argentine Apostate, if that is possible. Professor Bruni wants to use taxation as a weapon to "redistribute income and wealth from the rich to the poor."*

Bruni, a professor of political economy at the Italian University, LUMSA, and the author of a number of books, basis his advocacy for redistribution of wealth on the Scriptures:

'Hate Group' Lawsuit Clears Hurdle, Judeo-Christian Group Warns SPLC 'Day of Reckoning' Is Coming
h/t Instapundit
[PJ] - While America was distracted with impeachment and the 2020 Democrats last week, a monumental lawsuit against Orwellian government surveillance cleared a major hurdle in a Michigan district court. The case, American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) v. Nessel, involves the defense of free speech against government surveillance based on the far-left smear factory the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and its allegedly defamatory "hate group" accusations.

"This is George Orwell, 1984, the thought police, watching over us," AFLC co-founder and Senior Counsel Robert Muise told PJ Media on Tuesday. Michigan Attorney General "Dana Nessel keeping a watchful eye on all these SPLC-designated 'hate groups' has a chilling effect on speech and expressive association."

Last Wednesday, federal district judge Paul Maloney agreed that the AFLC has a powerful case against Nessel and former Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) Executive Director Agustin Arbulu. He denied Nessel's and Arbulu's motions to dismiss the lawsuit, allowing the case to proceed to discovery. This means AFLC will be able to request all documents showing communication involving Nessel, Arbulu, and the SPLC.

What happens when we're too old to be 'useful'?
[BBC] "I customarily killed old women. They all died, there by the big river. I didn't used to wait until they were completely dead to bury them. The women were afraid of me."

No wonder. That's the account of a man from the Aché, an indigenous tribe in eastern Paraguay, as told to anthropologists Kim Hill and Magdalena Hurtado.

He explained grandmothers helped with chores and babysitting but when they got too old to be useful, you couldn't be sentimental.

Brutally, the usual method was an axe to the head. For the old men, Aché custom dictated a different fate. They were sent away - and told never to return.

What obligations do we owe to our elders? It's a question as old as humankind.
Depends on the size of their 401k.
And the answers have varied widely, at least if surviving traditional societies are any guide.

As another anthropologist, Jared Diamond, points out, the Aché are hardly outliers. Among the Kualong, in Papua New Guinea, when a woman's husband died, it was her son's solemn duty to strangle her.

In the Arctic, the Chukchi encouraged old people to kill themselves with the promise of rewards in the afterlife.
