Some of California’s most notorious killers, rapists and child predators now get a shot at freedom decades before their sentences are up thanks to the controversial elderly parole law. Inmates previously had to reach 60 and serve at least 25 years before qualifying, but legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2020 lowered the threshold to 50 and 20 years, beginning in 2021, as California sought to ease prison overcrowding. But the change has since come under fire because criminals opening the door to parole for criminals handed sentences designed to keep them locked up for life. While inmates aren’t...

Police in the UK have for years been practicing affirmative action for Muslims, the principle being that since Muslim areas are the most crime-ridden, police officers should “look like” those they are policing. Presumably a population that regards white policemen, infidels all and thus “the most vile of created beings,” as “the enemy” will see Muslim officers more sympathetically. One of those Muslim trainees is Mohammad Hassan of the Greater Manchester Police, who has just gotten himself into a world of woe. Christine Douglass-Williams wrote about him here, and more on Mohammad Hassan’s off-duty activity, not fighting crime but committing...

The U.S. court system is 100% broken, and nothing shows that fact better than this case out of Pennsylvania. Safon Gump was accused of fatally shooting Gregory Prince, but the trial that would have brought justice to Gump derailed because one of the jurors got high in the jury room. Because Gump remains in custody — and court rules prohibit jurors from seeing a defendant in handcuffs for fear it could prejudice them — jurors were returned to their fifth-floor room to await the all clear to leave for lunch. When Common Pleas Judge Edward J. Borkowski's tipstaff arrived to...

Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud fired off a pro-trans message on Sunday night following an altercation with Enes Kanter Freedom during the team’s loss to the Indiana Fever. In the third quarter, Cloud scored a bucket that led to the Fever calling a timeout. She directed her emotion toward Freedom, who was sitting near the basket at the Wintrust Arena. Freedom stood up and walked toward Cloud. Sky players and security had to get in between the two. It wasn’t immediately clear what Cloud and Freedom were yelling at each other about. Freedom was escorted out of the arena and...

Like the cuckoo bird who lays its eggs in other birds’ nests, Colorado’s leftward lurch began some 20 or so years ago and has accelerated steadily ever since, fueled by disaffected cuckoo birds from California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and other assorted pockets of liberal mania, who laid their eggs liberally across their newly usurped state. To be fair, several formerly conservative states have suffered this fate to varying degrees, but Coloradan transplants have transformed the state with a vengeance. For example, in the 2020 national election, Proposition 115 would have “prohibited abortions in Colorado beyond 22 weeks,...

Sean Grayson, the ex-Illinois sheriff’s deputy who was sentenced to two decades in prison for killing single mom Sonya Massey after she called 911 for help, has died, according to his attorney. His defense attorney, Daniel Fultz, confirmed to The Post that Grayson, 32, died early Sunday.

Central banker Mark Carney is doing that peculiar Canadian thing again — acting tough while exuding weakness. Just before midnight on Friday, the former governor of the Bank of England and King Charles III’s current prime minister in North America announced that trade talks with the United States had collapsed. This was expected, even though the Canadian and American trade delegations had publicly expressed optimism on Wednesday that a mutually beneficial framework for future trade relations was within reach. The British Empire’s “climate change”-obsessed central banker announced the official start of the U.S.-Canada Trade War on his X account. That’s...

At least 30 people were killed in a massive landslide in Guinea on Sunday when a mountainous open-air landfill collapsed and buried nearby shacks, trapping numerous victims beneath a mass of garbage. The incident happened at Dar Es Salam, the largest waste dump in the West African country’s capital, Conakry, according to a report from The Associated Press. Guinea News reported that the weight of the waste caused a three-story building beneath it to cave in. Authorities said heavy rainfall also washed over the refuse overnight, creating hazardous conditions at the landfill, according to the AP Six people were seriously...

As a Greek-American, I went to see The Odyssey three weeks ago with eager anticipation. At the time, the Rotten Tomatoes scores had dropped into the 60s—significantly down from the high 90s where they started. I ended up walking out after 90 minutes. Two other couples had already bailed around the one-hour mark. Only one guy remained sitting up in high right corner of the theater. It was clearly the worst movie I have ever seen, and after 70 years of watching movies, that says a lot. My brother, who still lives in Chicago where we grew up, saw it...

After Anthony's lawyers tried to argue that the trial was unfair to Anthony because there were no black people on the jury, among other reasons, a Texas judge dismissed the request with no hesitation. A Texas judge has denied a bid for a new trial for Karmelo Anthony, who had been sentenced to 35 years in prison for fatally stabbing a fellow student at a high school track meet. Retired Kaufman County District Judge Michael Chitty denied Anthony's motion for a new trial, which had alleged in part that a 'gentleman's agreement' between the trial attorneys impacted his ability to...

We admit it: It’s just delicious to see so many “commie cosplayers” exposed as frauds — and the hits keep coming. It turns out DSA-NYC co-chair Gustavo Gordillo not only has his parents paying for massive renovations of the $1.5 million home they bought for him and his brother in Bed-Stuy, he’s also using non-union labor for the work — and the local community board opposed the re-do plan as creating a structure out of whack with the block, with experts saying the planned “beach house” clashes with the historic district’s vibe. Then again, Gordillo got suspended from the IBEW...

There are cases where the law tells you what happened but leaves out almost everything that explains why it happened… and that can be very troubling, and you go straight into the weaponization pool. Shana Gaviola’s case feels like one of those situations. The federal government’s version of this case is brutal and really straightforward. They say Gaviola violated a restraining order involving her teenage son, arranged to have him taken from California to a Christian boarding school in Missouri, and the people transporting him kept him handcuffed for more than 24 hours. She broke the law, a jury convicted...

PJ Media is a right wing website. It’s not considered to be part of the mainstream media, and you certainly can’t cite it as a source when adding content to wikipedia.That being said, I am a long term reader of PJ Media, and I tend to view most of what it publishes as being credible. I certainly don’t have anything against the website.PJ Media has published what it claims are photographs, school records, and other documents which, when taken together, “prove” that Ilhan Omar married her brother in order to commit immigration fraud.You can read these PJ Media articles and...

Soccer fans booed the U.S. national anthem on the weekend as Canadians reacted to news that trade talks between the two countries had broken down again. The Canadian Press reported jeers echoing through Vancouver's B.C. Place ahead of a Major League Soccer game between the Whitecaps and FC Dallas on Saturday, following booing at Stade Saputo, where CF Montréal hosted the L.A. Galaxy earlier in the day. This came hours after Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended talks with the United States and recalled his negotiators, saying the U.S. made unreasonable demands at the last minute after previously agreeing to a...

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom, who is trying to make his way into women’s basketball, was escorted out of Wintrust Arena during the third quarter Sunday after a heated shouting match with Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud

A 68-year-old tourist from France died after he and a traveling companion became stranded on a remote road in Death Valley National Park, one of the hottest places on Earth during the summer months. Pierre Michel Formosa and his companion, also from France, were traveling along West Side Road on Monday, Aug. 17, when their vehicle became stuck in mud near Queen of Sheba Mine Road, according to a news release from the National Park Service. With no other vehicles nearby, the two men left their vehicle and began walking across the salt flats toward Badwater Road in search of...
