CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - A 19-year-old man was shot and killed by the person he was trying to rob, said Cleveland police. Cleveland police said this happened in the parking lot of the HP Gas Station in the 7300 block of Lorain Avenue around 8:45 p.m. Wednesday. According to police, a 24-year-old man called 911 and told dispatchers he had shot a man during a robbery attempt and a second suspect had followed him home and was standing outside his house.

When President Joe Biden announced two weeks ago that he was dramatically shifting the United States' approach to refugees, it was celebrated in some corners as a swift end to former President Donald Trump's years of rhetorical attacks and antagonistic policies. "It's very good to know that there are countries like the U.S., there are people like the president willing to welcome more refugees," Amira Kherrallah, a 25-year-old refugee from Central African Republic who lives in Utah, told ABC News. But while advocates and refugees are hopeful, those fleeing conflict and oppression around the world will not feel the impact...

Hollywood actor Ron Perlman declared that the late Rush Limbaugh will spend the rest of eternity with the devil, adding his insult to the outpouring of vitriol and nastiness coming from many of his fellow left-wing celebrities. Ron Perlman reserved his “deepest sympathies” not for Limbaugh but for Lucifer in a tweet on Wednesday. The actor also used Limbaugh’s death to plug his 2004 movie Hellboy. “Me being Hellboy n shit, and having spent so much time in hades, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the poor devil who will no doubt have to spend the rest...

Amid reports of a federal probe into Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's handling of COVID-19 nursing home deaths, Democrats from New York's General Assembly and Senate have begun discussing the possibility of stripping Cuomo of broad executive powers granted to him last March to oversee the state's COVID-19 response efforts. The U.S. Justice Department has been probing Cuomo's COVID-19 task force to determine whether the state had purposefully manipulated data on nursing home deaths, two unnamed people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren't allowed to publicly discuss...

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid on Wednesday’s broadcast of her show “The ReidOut,” gave her take on the legacy of late conservatives talker Rush Limbaugh. Reid said, “Rush Limbaugh died today at the age of 70 from the complications of lung cancer. And I would argue that he is among the three people in recent American history who had the most influence in building the modern Republican Party. None of whom are named Reagan or Bush. This is a party that was built by right-wing media, by Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch and Rush Limbaugh. They influenced the way Republicanism and...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-vaccine-variants-third-shot-bill-gates/ Bill Gates says a third vaccine shot may be needed to fight the new Coronavirus variants - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/reparations-for-slavery-could-have-reduced-covid-19-transmission-and-deaths-in-the-us-harvard-study-says/ar-BB1dJOLZ I refuse to read one word of this after reading the title - “Reparations for slavery could have reduced Covid-19 transmission and deaths in the USA”.

Donald Trump has speculated that Joe Biden is either lying or 'mentally gone' after the president on Tuesday night said his administration arrived to find no COVID-19 vaccines available. Trump, who on Wednesday broke his silence to give a series of interviews marking the death of Rush Limbaugh, told Newsmax Biden made 'a very dumb statement' about the vaccines. The former president teased a possible 2024 run, boasting about his 'tremendous support', and said he would not be returning to Twitter - the platform from which he was banned last month.

The problem with pretending the November election was legit is that we now have to pretend what Nancy and Joe & Gang did to steal it somehow makes it legit. Nobody wants to just throw up his hands and quit, but upwards of 80 million Americans saw what happened and are in no mood for further games that drive the country ever deeper into bankruptcy, put ever more power in the hands of the unsavory, and jeer in the faces of decent people. One is hard pressed to imagine how a former president can be impeached. The term doesn't even...

Editor's note: This column was co-authored by David Goetsch. We heard him say it hundreds of times, as did many of you: “Talent on loan from God.” Some of Rush’s Limbaugh’s detractors liked to claim the statement was haughty. But those of us who knew him recognized the famous signoff to his radio program as humility, not ego. Rush was truly an extraordinary talent, a media icon of unprecedented stature. His radio audience of 27 million Americans looked to him not just for guidance and insight but to give voice to their most deeply held convictions and most deeply felt...

https://www.netflix.com/title/80192098 This takes place in Spain. They are going to rob the place where the Spanish paper currency is printed. These must be the best Spanish actors. Not one is a fail. This show is not politically correct! Its on Netflix and if you hate Netflix it is worth signing up for their trial month.. Then cancelling 9 Robbers in this gang. Lots of shootouts. Lots of good and fun male-female dynamics. Lots of dark humor. Every actor and actress does a job far superior to what comes out of Hollywood The English dubbed version is AWFUL. See the version...

When Biden promised to transform America, the media carefully refrained from asking what he meant. The past three weeks have illuminated his meaning. During Joe Biden’s campaign for president, he said he was going to transform the country. Was it clear what he meant by that? The mainstream media presented Biden as a moderate. However, moderates are not usually in the business of transforming. So, it would have been wise to ask the candidate what he meant. Was Biden’s promised transformation merely a reprise of Obama’s change slogan? Was he just planning to roll back Trumpism and return to the...

As vice president, Joe Biden oversaw an array of issues important to the Obama administration: implementing an economic recovery act, shaping foreign policy from Iraq to Ukraine, and strengthening cancer research.But now that Biden is president, his vice president, Kamala Harris, asked in a recent interview what her signature issue would be, replied she has one focus: "Making sure Joe Biden is a success."It is a delicate, new role for someone used to being in charge, as a senator from California and the state's attorney general -- one she has said she is basing off how Biden himself handled eight...

When will Black History Month be ... history? Apart from the bizarre notion that educators should set aside one month to salute the historical achievements of one race apart from and above the historical achievements of other races, Black History Month appears to omit a lot of Black history. About slavery, do our mostly left-wing educators teach that slavery was not unique to America and is as old as humankind? As economist and author Thomas Sowell says: "More whites were brought as slaves to North Africa than Blacks brought as slaves to the United States or to the 13 colonies...

Democrats on Thursday will introduce their version of immigration reform legislation, which essentially consists of a roundup of immigration priorities President Joe Biden laid out on day one of his administration. The reform proposal is so far the most ambitious effort to counteract the Trump administration's hardline border policies. The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 would create an eight-year path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented people in the country. First, it would provide them with a new type of temporary status for five years and then allow them to obtain citizenship after another three years. The path to...

One year ago, I wrote a Townhall column with the headline “A Prayer for Rush Limbaugh.” The occasion was his lung cancer diagnosis, accompanied by the instant understanding that his prognosis did not seem to be a case offering much hope for recovery. But miracles happen, so I asked for one. So did many of you. Rush passed away Wednesday, but before talking about him, let’s talk about God. One of the most valuable things I’ve learned about prayer is to know that sometimes we get what we seek and sometimes we don’t. When we don’t, it doesn’t mean the...

One of the things I remember hearing Rush Limbaugh say repeatedly back in the day was that the point of the United States military was to “kill people and break things.” The beauty of that statement was that it was simple, to the point, and undeniably true. If I remember correctly, this was during the Clinton years when the left started meddling with the mission of the military to incorporate their social agenda. That push was just getting off the ground in the '90s, and now Joe Biden is giving it wings. Where it goes from here is disturbing and...

Some people call me “Dr. Doom.” This is probably because of my pessimistic outlook on some things. I understand. When the only nation you’ve ever known in life is destined to fail, and somebody tells you that, it can be a real drag. If I told you the Roman Empire was destined to fall, that wouldn’t be so bothersome to you now. It’s been over fifteen centuries since it happened. It’s ancient history. So what else is new? But if the year were AD 400, and I told you that, you might think I was a prophet of doom, a...

Allies of former President Trump say he’s determined to make life miserable for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Trump’s political machine, which has $60 million in a super PAC and an unmatched grassroots fundraising apparatus, is vowing to go aggressively after GOP lawmakers in primaries in the wake of an unprecedented feud between the nation’s two most powerful Republicans. Trump was prepared to give McConnell a pass, sources in his orbit stated, after he gave a blistering post-impeachment floor speech saying the former president was “practically and morally” responsible for the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol that led...

Almost immediately after winter storms and extreme cold temperatures first swept through Texas last Thursday and left millions of residents without power, prominent conservative politicians and media personalities began to blame renewable energy. And while frozen wind turbines have contributed to the state's energy crisis, that type of energy has only slightly underperformed against published expectations for winter output. Natural gas, the state's dominant energy source, has provided drastically less energy than expected, according to experts and industry data. "Wind was operating almost as well as expected," said Sam Newell, head of the electricity group at the Brattle Group, an...

So glad to see President Trump get a second wind now that he has been acquitted for life for a second time! (As an aside, will San Fran Nan make a third try? Entirely possible given the incurable Trump Derangement Syndrome among most House Democrats.) The subject of his ire has become Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY), who stooped to a new low in his post-acquittal floor speech during which he finally displayed his true anti-Trump sentiments: McConnell said the former president was “practically and morally responsible” for the attack on the Capitol on January 6. … “This was...
