[PJMEDIA] According to the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office, the suspect wrecked the vehicle he was driving and is in police custody. Fox News 13 in Memphis reports that an ambulance is responding to the scene of the car crash. Police are asking people to avoid the area of Whitehaven near Ivan Road and Hodge Road. The shelter-in-place orders and lockdowns have been lifted. Police say Kelly shot and killed four people.
According to court records, Kelly was charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault, employment of a firearm with intent to commit a dangerous felony, and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon for an incident on Feb. 3, 2020. He pled guilty to an aggravated assault charge and was sentenced to three years in prison. He was released early, in March of this year, after serving only 11 months. An arrest warrant had been issued for him earlier on Wednesday on a first-degree murder charge.

At least he's true to his principles.
[NYPost] A public official who was the focus of stories written by slain Las Vegas investigative reporter Jeff German was arrested in the case Wednesday on suspicion of murder, according to a report.
Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was taken into custody after authorities searched his home for hours earlier Wednesday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported, citing county Sheriff Joe Lombardo.
Before his arrest, Telles was questioned by police as they conducted the search. When he returned to his home Wednesday evening, he refused to answer questions from reporters as he made his way inside, according to video posted to Twitter by Review-Journal reporter Brett Clarkson.
Soon after, around 6 p.m., his home was surrounded by police officers in tactical gear while he remained inside, according to the Review-Journal, where German worked before he was killed Friday. The news outlet reported 30 minutes later that Telles was wheeled out on a stretcher and dumped into an ambulance.
Telles lost a Democratic primary in June, due in part to German’s investigative stories about his conduct in office, the report said. Some of the allegations against Telles included "emotional stress, bullying, and favoritism," according to the outlet.
German was reportedly also working on a possible follow-up story about Telles before he was stabbed to death.
Telles tweeted multiple times about the reporter and his articles, writing in a June 18 Twitter post: "Looking forward to lying smear piece #4 by @JGermanRJ. #onetrickpony I think he’s mad that I haven’t crawled into a hole and died."

At the Sheriff's press conference a female "reporter" actually asked if Trump was responsible for this. The sheriff disabused her of that notion. That shows me just how much people in the media hate Trump and are willing to believe anything Big Media says about him. Did you hear anything about this on any of the major media programs?

The most annoying and unbearable personality in all of Hollywood, Jennifer Lawrence, made headlines recently due to her nocturnal fantasies.
The X-Men and Hunger Games star recently told Vogue that she has strained relationships with her family because they're normal Kentucky conservatives and she's an elite stuck-up Hollywood liberal.
Those weren't her exact words, but that captures the sentiment pretty well.
While discussing her political consternation the name Tucker Carlson came up.
From The Daily Wire:
Lawrence said that she had been "trying to heal" after feuding with her own family over politics, and said that recurring nightmares about Tucker Carlson had even been a topic of discussion between the actress and her therapist.
This Hollywood A-Lister is SO stuck in her Hollywood bubble that the idea of Tucker Carlson gives her LITERAL nightmares!
Nightmares about a cable host!
I mean, I get into politics, but this is absolutely ridiculous.
The actress whose entire personality is being "relatable" proves she is anything but, as she has had to "feud" with her family over their TV watching habits.
#14
Of course Tucker is in her nightmares, he might ask her questions she can't answer, like What is a woman? or Why are Democrat run place such crapholes? And the biggie, "Do you know what 2+2 is?"
#15
"This Hollywood A-Lister..." I don't think she's been A-list since she talked politics before the last Hunger Games movie and it underperformed. Then a few movies with her as the headliner also underperformed and its ensembles and low budget films.
Now that time has moved on and she has a chance to regain lost ground and she doubles-down and goes political again.
She is an emotional child who never finished High School and it shows.

It's a shame too because when she first came on the scene, she seemed to be intelligent and funny, just plain folks.
[LegalInsurrection] Finally, Oberlin College stops fighting, and the future of Gibson’s Bakery looks brighter after six years of darkness.
by William A. Jacobson
It looks like the Gibson family’s long struggle with Oberlin College is over, and the college will pay the judgment it has been fighting for years. Unfortunately, David Gibson and “Grandpa” Allyn Gibson did not live to see it, having passed away after the trial verdict.
We have covered this case since the November 2016 protests, through the trial (the only national outlet with a reporter in the courtroom every single trial day, through the appeals, and now what appears to be the end. It was not always easy covering this case, at one point Oberlin College tried to subpoena OUR records, After legal challenge, Oberlin College withdraws subpoena seeking our journalist communications.
I just received the following email from Scott Wargo, Director of Communications at Oberlin College:
Oberlin College initiates payment of awarded damages in Gibson’s Bakery case
Oberlin College and Conservatory has initiated payment in full of the $36.59 million judgment in the Gibson’s Bakery case and is awaiting payment information from the plaintiffs. This amount represents awarded damages and accumulated interest, and therefore no further payments are required.
On August 30, the Ohio Supreme Court issued its decision not to hear Oberlin’s appeal. Oberlin’s Board of Trustees has decided not to pursue the matter further. Read the rest at the link

#2 No problem. It'll be covered by raising tuition, which the students will borrow from the government -- later to be 'forgiven' by the Democrats.
Has anything happened to the individuals involved?

CF,
AFAIK, the one person who really pushed this whole thing - former Dean of Students and school VP Meredith Raimundo - bailed in 2021 to take a similar job at Oglethorpe University. Take note, however, of two things:
1) She was supposed to have stayed on in a teaching slot at Oberlin, but that was scuttled at the last minute. There is at least circumstantial evidence that she fell/was pushed from the school because
2) After fairly intense 'discussions', the school indemnified her in writing against any possible civil penalties arising from this disaster. In other words, when (not if) she's sued by the Gibsons, and they win (the evidence against the college had her name, fingerprints and smiling face literally all over it) the school is going to pay that judgement.
We need to see more of these lawsuits were LSD's slander good hard working people solely for political gain.
Now the BIG Question: Who came to the $$$$ aid Liberal Univ. the Alumni, an Insurance Company or the DNC?
BTW: The Dean of Student that was deeply invloved in this royal $%^& up came to Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, GA. ---> Needless to say I heard she started up again.

#7 Now the BIG Question: Who came to the $$$$ aid Liberal Univ. the Alumni, an Insurance Company or the DNC?
IIUC, an insurance company. Which is a GOOD thing, because they hate losses and will be talking to their other clients about how not to screw the pooch like Oberlin. Maybe, just maybe, leading to muzzling a few of the more rabid DEI bullshitters.
More like, they dial losses into the algorithms that determine premiums for the rest of their insured. And figure the cost of coaching those clients on risk management into that total too.

I hear a lot of talk about "taxing the value" of the forgiven student loan.
How long until the "value" of scholarships are taxed ?

...And this is a win-win for the real world: The insurance company paid, and that means that the College and the insurers' reps are having some very quiet, earnest conversations about either multiplying their premiums by a couple orders of magnitude...or seeking another insurer.

With guaranteed student loans, you can be sure that tuition hikes have been baked in for years.
And if this Administration can just tear up contract law by absolving student loan debts, even if temporarily, then rest assured tuitions will go even higher. These universities/colleges will get their dough.
A followup to yesterday's article - Only 2% of Dallas Kids Have Taken the Jab [Dallas Morning News] More than 3,465, or 33%, of the county’s 10,538 cases are in children ages 0 to 17. Cases in school age groups have rapidly increased in the last two weeks, jumping 75% for adolescents ages 14 to 17 from the week ending Aug. 26 to the week ending Sept. 1 and 61% for children ages 5 to 13 in that same time period. Back to school, spreading infection.
While pediatric COVID-19 cases are climbing, other age groups have been trending downward for the last month following an early summer surge in cases led by the highly-contagious omicron subvariants. Total US seven-day average cases are half what they were a month ago.
It’s too soon to tell whether North Texas will see another winter spike in COVID-19 cases like the area did last year with the emergence of the omicron variant, Chang said, but it seems likely that the flu will be stronger this year compared to the last two years of the pandemic as public health measures like masking ease. But we can plant the seed of fear today.
Flu shots are available, and it is safe to get a flu shot and the COVID-19 vaccine together. Influenza deaths were hundreds per week before COVID and have been tens per week ever since May 2020 - even as masking restrictions were relaxed.

I scanned the source article in a fruitless search for any mention of recent deaths (at any age) due to Covid-19. Deaths were not mentioned at all! Summit County in NE OH has several weeks in the last few months with no deaths, news the local media either doesn't mention, or lists at the very end of a long article. One might think the absence of deaths more newsworthy, but one would be wrong.
I scanned the source article in a fruitless search for any mention of recent deaths (at any age) due to Covid-19.
I understand the guidelines are that it is a Covid death if the patient drops dead due to heart failure. Otherwise, it is with a covid, because the vaxx reduces symptoms and has electrolytes.

This is either an unprecedented tragedy or no big deal, depending on what the meaning of "cases" is. Does "cases" mean admissions to the ICU or does it mean showed a positive test result without actually being sick?
#5
total new cases reported are down from a month ago
but that may be because a lot of new cases aren't being reported - in fact, if a 15 year old has the sniffles and tests positive, the only thing that happens when you report is you get lots of texts, emails and phone calls from health dept telling you stuff you already know

"Ninety eight... Ninety nine... hundred. One thousand. One, two... six, seven. Seven thousand. It's seven thousand. Can I punch out early, Lakoto? I need to bathe and get drunk."
[Breitbart] The China Daily, a Chinese Communist Party-controlled outlet, has paid over $1 million to establishment outlets that support the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA).
Breitbart News has chronicled how the News Media Alliance, a trade association representing some of the most powerful media conglomerates, has showered Congress with millions in lobbying and donations in order to receive support for the JCPA.
Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) disclosures also detail how many of the newspapers that support the JCPA have received significant funds from China Daily, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party’s State Council Information Office.
FARA disclosures reveal that from May 2021 to April 2022, China Daily‘s expenditures total over $1 million to USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, and the Chicago Tribune.
The FARA disclosure for May 2021 to October 2021 reveals:
USA Today received $57,500 in advertising expenses from China Daily
Los Angeles Times received $375,207.20
Chicago Tribune received $33,250
Between November 2021 and April 2022, USA Today received $230,000, the Los Angeles Times received $300,400, and Chicago Tribune received $29.505.99.
The Seattle Times, which has received $123,444.80 from China Daily, also supports the JCPA.
The China Daily paid the Boston Globe $147,164.36, as reported by the Daily Caller in 2020. The Globe also backs the JCPA.
Altogether, this amounts to more than $1 million that JCPA-supporting outlets have received from a Chinese Communist Party-owned outlet.
USA Today, which is owned by Gannett, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, which is owned by Tribune Publishing, all support the Journalism Competition and Protection Act.
As the Senate Judiciary Committee considers the legislation during a markup session on Thursday, a rapidly growing number of Senate Republicans oppose the legislation.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) confirmed to Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle that he will oppose the JCPA.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) confirmed to Boyle that he will oppose the JCPA, and a spokesman for Hawley relayed that he has long been skeptical of the plan to create an antitrust exemption for media outlets.
Breitbart News’s Allum Bokhari detailed how the JCPA’s defenders have often said that the bill will help suppress “misinformation.” This includes David Chavern, the president and CEO of the News Media Alliance, and Emilly Barr, CEO of the Graham Media Group, which also represents the establishment media.
Chavern wrote to lawmakers in March 2021 that “the cost of inaction, in terms of the spread of misinformation we are all experiencing, is simply too great to ignore any longer.”
This is why Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who opposes the bill, said that conservatives considering voting for the bill should oppose it.
“Any conservative considering this bill should note that Jerry Nadler is a lead sponsor and cites ‘widespread misinformation’ as a rationale—in other words, they know this cartel will censor conservatives,” said Sen. Cotton.
[Breitbart] Former Disney CEO Bob Iger recently explained why the entertainment giant abandoned plans to buy Twitter in 2016, noting that a "substantial number" of the platform’s users are bots and fake accounts.
Recode reports that in 2016, Bob Iger, then CEO of Disney, became convinced that the company should buy Twitter as it would be an excellent distribution platform for Disney content around the world, but shortly before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the plans to purchase the company were scrapped.
In a 2019 memoir, Iger said that the boards of both Disney and Twitter had agreed to the deal, but then he had second thoughts due to the "nastiness" across Twitter. However, the supposed "nastiness" of Twitter should have been readily apparent well before a deal was almost finalized to purchase the platform.
Now, speaking at Vox Media’s annual Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California, Iger said that Twitter would have been a "phenomenal" distribution platform for Disney but that it would have also come with too many issues — including bots.

Posted by: Glenmore 2022-09-09 09:57
Glen,
At the very least, he had to have had a strong suspicion, and certainly knew about Disney's reservations. Once this comes out, I expect he's going to end up paying a lot less than $44B for it.
[ET via Zero] One of the German diplomats who snickered when then-President Donald Trump said Germany would "become totally dependent on Russian energy" didn’t respond to a question on whether his views have changed as rising energy costs amidst the war in Ukraine seem to prove Trump right.
Trump made the remarks during a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in Sept. 2018. Trump said during the same speech: "Reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation."

Oh, it wasn't one German. It was the whole country. They all shook their heads in disbelief and laughed at us. Laughed.
Oh, that burned. That's something we will neither forget nor forgive. We'll remember how our "friends" in Europe laughed at us when we told them to take their security seriously.
And I get it, right? It was supremely satisfying to tell the Americans to fuck off. Especially Trump. If there's one thing Europeans do well, it's self-righteousness and self-satisfaction. After all, they were living after the end of history. They had the idiot Americans to pay for their defense and Nordstream 2 from Russia to pay for their industry. What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe the clever Germans can figure out a way to heat their houses this winter with their smug sense of satisfaction. They've certainly got a surplus of it.
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

So I guess when the German Energy Director when asked about this, said that business can close and not go out of business because of the lack of revenue; hibernate if you will. Perhaps EC can correct or elaborate?
Have we not literally just spent 2 years proving that wrong?

[NewsGlory] At least 38% of the grain that was exported along the “grain corridor” from Ukraine entered the countries of the European Union (EU). This was reported on September 8 by the Spanish newspaper El País.
According to UN data and resources that track the movement of ships, from August 1 to September 7, more than 2.3 million tons of corn, wheat, barley and other agricultural products have already been exported from Ukraine along the Black Sea corridor.
“Of the total number of tons of grain exported through the corridor, 38% (about 900 thousand tons) were sent to the ports of the EU member states,” the article says.
Read the rest at the link. The story isn't on El Pais' website, and I suspect it prolly won't be.
An Emily Carr University professor who made a career as an indigenous artist and scholar has resigned after it was discovered she is white. "Well, I felt kinda Kickapoo one morning so I painted a picture of teepee and they hired me.
"Gina Adams was among a group of faculty hired in a cluster in 2019 as part of a ’commitment to reconciliation, Indigenization and decolonization,'" the Vancouver Sun reported, adding a spokesperson for the Canadian institution released a statement confirming Adams resigned from her tenure-track adjunct professor position Aug. 25. Dear Emily Carr:
I hereby regretfully resign my position as this morning I feel more Irish than Kickapoo. Love your dress, by the way.
Best Regards,
Gina
"Emily Carr University takes very seriously the allegations that a member of our faculty made a false claim to Indigenous identity," the statement read. "We thought something was off when we saw the freckles and she couldn't speak Algonquian."
The Daily Mail reported that Adams was born in Connecticut and is actually the "white daughter of Maine pageant queen," but claimed the "idea for her ingenious-inspired artwork came to her in ’dreams,’ courtesy of her Anishinaabeg ancestors." The idea for lots of things comes to me from my ancestors. I once built a house inspired by one of my Italian ancestors. It leaned to port, and eventually fell over. I once had another idea inspired by one of my Scotch-Irish ancestors, but she slapped me and said no way.
"But internet sleuths dug into her background and found that her grandfather and relatives are in fact white, with no link to Native Americans." Shoulda said she was part Monacan or Suquehannock. They're all dead now, so who's to say no?

If there was so much prejudice against people of color we wouldn't have a flood of white folks pretending to be people of color. That's not generally how oppression works.

Second time in as many years they've set the surrounding grass and weeds on fire. It was actually confined on a strip of land in between water and the highway, so not really a danger. Local FD eventually set a back fire and stopped it after dark. Maybe they should just do a prescribed burn every summer and call it good?

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
