    Paula Devlin, one of the outspoken Lindsay Clancy jurors, said the quiet part out loud this weekend during an interview with CBS. Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children to death in January 2023. Clancy admitted that she killed all three of her own children, but the defense argued she was not guilty by reason of insanity. The jury considered five verdicts: – Guilty of First-Degree Murder – Guilty of Second-Degree Murder – Guilty of Manslaughter – Not Guilty – Not Guilty due to Lack of Criminal Responsibility Eleven jurors were ready to find Lindsay Clancy not guilty by reason of...
  • Why People Prefer Socialism to Capitalism

    09/14/2026 7:48:28 AM PDT · by DIRTYSECRET · 18 replies
    This movement is not new for humans, or the world. most people, surprisingly, actually do prefer slavery (dependence) to freedom (risk). Dependence upon someone else means, well, somebody else takes care of us. And history tells us that such dependence — and slavery — is far more common than human freedom. How many people voluntarily place themselves into dependence upon government? In one of history’s supreme oxymorons, they use their freedom to place themselves in slavery. They lack the virtue, the character to take care of themselves, and to thus be truly free. And so, they turn to socialism, which...

    A survey of LGBTQ+ rights groups around the globe shows the vast majority of them lost funding since the start of President Donald Trump's second term. Outright International released a report on September 10 showing nearly 89% of groups responding to a survey said that since January 2025, they have lost foreign aid from the United States. The advocacy group spoke with representatives from 229 organizations in 94 countries, 203 of which said funds had been cut since the inauguration.

  • Shelly Headen's Kampf - A Democrat candidate outs the party.

    It looks as if the Democrats have jumped the Blue Whale for the final time. Everything from now on will be anticlimax. It can’t possibly be any other way, since an actual Democrat candidate has come out and publicly stated on record that she looks forward to Nazi concentration camps for MAGA voters. As yet, no Democrat has disavowed this. That may well be coming, but it will be half-hearted and shallow at best. I mean, anything more might well cost them a seat, y’know. SNIP Actually no. I have no idea of Headen’s background, and it scarcely matters anymore,...

    A child was attacked by an alligator while swimming in restricted Florida waters on Labor Day. The victim was swimming in the Weeki Wachee Preserve, about 60 miles northwest of Tampa, according to a statement from the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office. The alligator punctured the swimmer’s arm and leg, and the child was transported to the Bayonet Point Hospital for treatment of the non-fatal injuries. Officials note that the victim and a group of children became isolated on a sandbar and were rescued by Hernando County Fire Rescue. Following the incident, a licensed Florida wildlife trapper placed traps for the...
  • Bush’s Islamic Appeasement Greatly Damaged America

    American Thinker ^ | 14 Sep, 2026 | J.B. Shurk
    Islam is an ideology of war and conquest, not a religion of peace. Last Thursday, President George W. Bush sat down with his former secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, to discuss the September 11, 2001, Islamic terror attacks on the United States. While reflecting on his actions twenty-five years earlier, Bush went out of his way to defend Islam: “I also made it clear that Islam was a religion of peace, not a religion of war, and that these people subverted their religion.” Bush’s absurd statement echoed a similarly absurd statement he made days after the attacks when he told...

    Saturday Night Live UK returned for its second season — and wasted no time getting stuck into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Sky series cold opened with a sketch (watch above) in which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (as depicted by Jack Shep and Ayoade Bamgboye) visited the King and Queen in Scotland's Balmoral Castle. Larry Dean's King Charles III was aghast at his child's reappearance. "Don't tell me you've spent all your Netflix money already," he asked incredulously. "It was $60 million. How long was it meant to last?" Prince Harry replied. Queen Camilla, as played by...
  • Capitalist Oppressors In Action: Some History Of A New York Office Building

    Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 11 Sep, 2026 | Francis Menton
    The socialist creed preaches a narrative of Capitalist Oppressors, often large corporations, who somehow collaborate and conspire to keep the oppressed masses down. I was reminded of that narrative when I recently saw a post at the website called New York YIMBY (“Yes In My Back Yard”), that provided some history of a certain office building in midtown Manhattan, 1301 Avenue of the Americas. The post, by Max Gillespie on September 7, is titled “1301 Avenue Of The Americas Fully Leased In Midtown, Manhattan.” It happens that I am very familiar with this building, since I worked right across the...

    Hayden Panettiere died after taking just one pill that is believed to have been oxycodone laced with fentanyl, it was reported Monday as cops are said to be “zeroing in” on her alleged dealer. The actress appears to have met with her “long-term drug dealer” in Los Angeles before flying to South Carolina, where she died of a suspected overdose on Aug. 16, just before her 37th birthday, multiple law enforcement sources connected to the case told TMZ. The mom appears to have taken one pill the day she died, but it was fatal because it was laced with fentanyl,...

    California high school students are scoring more straight A’s than ever – but it’s not necessarily because they’re getting smarter, according to data and education experts. The number of college applicants reporting flawless GPAs of 4.0 or higher has doubled over the past decade even as state testing shows a post-pandemic plunge in reading and math comprehension — revealing a grade-inflation crisis that’s sending students who can’t even do fractions into top universities. Over the past decade, the number of students applying to the University of California system with straight A’s skyrocketed from 52,989 in 2015 to 103,138 for the...

    Atlanta Capitol News ^ | September 11, 2026 | by Alyssa Johnson
    Women in Georgia have had to navigate the state’s six week abortion ban for the past few years, but lawyers and advocates say a lawsuit coming out of another Southern state could further restrict access. On Sept. 9 oral arguments began for Louisiana v. the U.S Food and Drug Administration, a suit over telehealth and mail delivery access to the abortion pill mifepristone. In 2020, the FDA began allowing mifepristone to be prescribed through telehealth and delivered to patients in the mail. Previously, the medication was only allowed to be dispensed in-person in a medical facility. In 2023 the agency...

    "The Falling Man" is the most controversial photograph to have emerged from the September 11, 2001 attack on New York City's World Trade Center. Taken by Richard Drew of the Associated Press - and visible at this link - the photo shows a man falling headfirst along the side of the soon-to-be-demolished 110-floor North Tower, momentarily captured in an incongruously serene pose that belies the utter surrounding chaos and his imminent demise. When the photo ran in the New York Times and other papers across the country the following day, many readers complained and accused the publications of exploiting the...

    Reception has been mixed as Waymo keeps expanding its robotaxi fleet to more and more cities. Los Angeles seems to have embraced them after a rocky start, while Boston flipped the bird to proposed operations there. Minneapolis has proposed a unique approach, reports Axios: requiring a human monitor behind the wheel at all times. Waymo is already testing in Minneapolis. As usual for this early phase of deployment, the cars do not transport passengers, and there's a human in the driver's seat, either driving while the car collects data or monitoring its autonomous operation. The proposed rule, called "Workers Drive...
  • Costco Is Rationing Oil And Doubling Its Price As Supply Dwindles

    Jalopnik ^ | SEPT. 13, 2026 | Andy Kalmowitz
    I'm sure you've already noticed, but oil prices are getting downright absurd. Now, those inflated costs are coming for Costco's motor oil. The wholesale retailer may be known for its solidly low prices, but even it can't help the fact that Crude Oil is trading around $100 per barrel right now. Because of that, it's upping prices and tightening how much it'll sell to any one person. While 10 quarts of Costco's Kirkland Signature full-synthetic motor oil used to set you back $30, and you could buy as much as your heart desired, those days are over — for the...

The deadly crash happened around 12:20 a.m. at the intersection of Culver Drive and Deerfield Avenue in Irvine, police said.

Looks like Mark Carney is auditioning for his next job, if Ursula Von Der Leyen leaves as head of the EU, Mark Carney would have a great resume for the job as the ultimate globalist. Right now, he's saying not as a full EU member, we all know if Canada and the EU go ahead with this...
