John Campopiano's alter ego has been a staple of the winter season since he first decided to don a yeti costume and go walking around in the snow seven years agoWe catch up with the Boston Yeti to talk about being a Boston winter legend, his children’s book plans and if we will see an official Yeti sidekick out there in the future. Boston residents know that a local legend makes their way out in the elements when the snow starts falling. And a blizzard means you might just see the beloved Boston Yeti on the prowl. John Campopiano, aka...

Encouraged by new attention in the cold-case investigation of a serial killer who terrorized San Francisco’s gay community in the 1970s, police will announce Thursday that it is doubling the reward to $200,000 for information leading to the capture and conviction of the notorious “Doodler.” The announcement will come 48 years to the day after the first victim was found lying at the water’s edge off Ocean Beach on Jan. 27, 1974. The San Francisco Police Department is also expected to confirm it is adding a probable sixth victim to the total of gay men whose bodies were found along...

The mostly peaceful protests at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, have resulted in the jailing of those many who entered the building. Despite committing no actual crimes beyond trespassing, they are being made an example of by the Deep State to dissuade patriots from acting in defiance of government corruption. President Donald Trump has been conspicuously quiet for months regarding these political prisoners. He has mentioned them on occasion, but hadn’t specifically promised action until Saturday night’s rally in Conroe, Texas. There, he promised to act on behalf of those who are still being persecuted, even pardoning them...

Penzey’s Spices, the Milwaukee company that held “Republicans are Racist” sale on Martin Luther King Weekend, is now dealing with a massive loss of customers and is begging for new business. “After starting the year with Republicans are Racists we’ve set a nice little Boycott Penzeys! surge in motion,” Penzey’s CEO Bill Penzey said in an email to customers Friday. “It certainly wasn’t unexpected, but if it’s within your means, you picking up a small stack of Gift Cards would help.” Penzey admitted that the “Republicans are Racists” email cost his business 40,000 subscribers, roughly three percent of the total....

Democrats have tried everything they can think of to try to pressure Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) to go along with them, to do away with the filibuster and vote for Joe Biden’s Build Back Better bill. But Manchin stood firm, along with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and the effort went down to crushing defeat.If you listen to Democrats, they want people to think that Americans are on their side on the issue, and they think — somehow — they can do Manchin in with his constituents.But the bottom line is the truth of how Joe Manchin was greeted back in...

It’s Jussieversary! That special time of year when we remember the man who took one of the biggest L’s in hoax history. Three years ago tomorrow, Jussie (pronounced “Juicy”) was ATTACKED (Narrator: He wasn’t) in the dead cold of night while getting a sandwich and some smokes. Every year, this date rolls around and we remember the man not just for the mistakes he made — and he has made a lot of mistakes — but for the memes he gave us. The other day I asked a few friends what they thought the funniest and most obvious mistake was....

Update (1500ET): While in a normal world this would be beyond satire and ridicule, it is perhaps of no surprise whatsoever that the blame for instigation of the "Freedom Convoy" is already being placed on so-called 'Russian actors'..."...given Canada's support of Ukraine... I don't know it it's far-fetched to ask but there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this protest grows... perhaps even instigating it..."A lot of strange coverage by the media on this thing but this one wins the prize.pic.twitter.com/bLauTjI9NG — Jim Burnett (@jamesfburnett) January 29, 2022As Brian Lilley writes at The Toronto...

747–400 Taxiing way too fast for the conditions. I wouldn’t be over about 8 knots (maybe 5 going into the blocks) given the snow on the ground. Something that is preventable! I guess it happened yesterday.

In French politics the squeeze to keep Marine Le Pen from reaching the second round of the presidential election continues. It started with the entry of outspoken Tucker Carlson type TV pundit Eric Zemmour into the race. His outspoken views on Islam and crime drawing supporters away from Marine Le Pen. Zemmour even drew a few National Rally activists who formerly supported Le Pen into his ranks. Then the mainstream "Right" put a female candidate Valerie Pecresse into the race. Pecresse leads the large Ile-de-France region in and around Paris.... Now yesterday a new blow to Marine Le Pen came...

An estimated 2,500 people demonstrated against Austria's COVID-19 measures on Saturday at a rally in Vienna's Heldenplatz square, including the government's latest announcement of mandatory vaccination. The protesters waved Austrian flags and displayed placards with slogans against mandatory vaccination, which one protester said was "poison for all of mankind." Austria has imposed a nationwide vaccine mandate starting in February, with the health ministry saying people who have not been fully vaccinated by March 15 will be committing an administrative offence. Saturday's demonstration coincided with Chancellor Karl Nehammer's announcement that COVID-19 related restrictions would be eased next week, allowing shops and...
