Shooting at Colorado LGBT Club Kills 5, Injures 18, With Suspect Detained

Shooter threatened his own Mother last year. That says Cray Cray Crazy!

Update Suspect Named – Police said a suspect, named as Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, is in custody and being treated for injuries. No motive indicated so far.

Heavy.com has some detail indicating the shooter may have a past criminal history and is likely unstable.

Five people are confirmed dead and several others were injured in a shooting at an LGBT club in Colorado.

Colorado Springs police confirmed five people had been killed and another 18 were injured during the shooting at the gay nightclub Club Q on Saturday.

Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) Lt. Pamela Castro briefed gathered media overnight. In a video of the briefing posted on Twitter, she said: “It’s with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that we had a shooting at a local club this evening.

AP is going on like it’s a hate crime but no evidence is supplied.

Lots of blame assigned to “Right Wing Evangelical Trumpers” etc on Twitter with zero evidence to back it up, the very definition of knee jerk dogma triumphing over reason.

From the DM … FBI joins probe into Colorado Springs gay club shooting that left five dead and 18 injured after gunman opened fire following a drag show: Gunman is in custody after being ‘subdued by patrons’

Rex Murphy: Justin Trudeau makes headlines again — not necessarily good ones

The beginning of autumn is generally nice. The poet John Keats had a phrase for that period — “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.” But as Mr. Fall gets his teeth into it, hits the meteorological gas pedal so to speak, and sends out a clear invitation to Mr. Winter — well, in Canada anyway, it ain’t mellow by a long shot. Short days, long nights, chill winds, early snows — mid to the end of November in most places here is like a movie preview of the harder days of February.

Tech-savvy Iranian activists reveal Islamic republic’s abuses

When videos posted on Friday appeared to show the ancestral home of the late founder of the Iranian Islamic Republic on fire, state media derided the news as “a lie”. But footage posted by the activist network 1500tasvir told a different story.

The incident occurred on Thursday evening in Khomein, the birth town of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the group said, as strikes and protests over the death of Mahsa Amini shook Iran for a ninth week.

Trudeau Tries to Play Catch-Up on China’s Interference, but Is Chasing His Own Tail

Canada is in the global spotlight, again. A reporter at the G20 meeting in Bali captured Chinese leader Xi Jinping threatening Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over leaks of an earlier meeting between the two, in which Trudeau reportedly confronted Xi with intelligence leaks to the media about China’s election interference.

Yes, there was a leak about a leak.

Diversity is killing us.

Portland moving forward with $27 million plan to end homeless camping on sidewalks

“I’ve written a lot of posts about the problem of homelessness in Portland over the years. Just this year there have been multiple reports about people planning to leave the area for good because of crime and homelessness. There have been specific reports about dangerous homeless people and persistent homeless thieves who never seem to get taken off the streets no matter what they do.”

Portland is a “progressive paradise” anything they do will make things worse and this plan is typically insane.

US Army Seeks to Force Out Soldiers Claiming Religious Exemption to Vaccine Mandate, Service Members Claim

The U.S. Army is belittling and putting pressure on soldiers who are seeking religious accommodation to the vaccine mandate, according to two officers who have refused to take the jab. Prohibiting off-base travel and promotions are only a small part of the greater push to compel service members like them to get out of the Army, they said.

Such actions come as the Army, like other branches of the military is struggling with recruitment woes; the Army has only met 52 percent of its fiscal year 2022 recruiting goal.

Supporters Of Elon Musk’s Twitter Crusade May Be Disappointed In The Long Run

… He may disappoint many of the people now cheering him on. It’s probably inevitable. Things will happen that will force him to make hard-headed business decisions instead of keeping his focus on altruistic interests and philanthropic motives. What those might be we can’t predict but suspect they’ll probably involve the threat of government regulation or intimidation.

Makes sense to gear down expectations.

Is Zelensky Trying America’s Patience?

Volodymyr Zelensky’s explanation for the deadly missile explosion in Poland may have been at odds with the one given by Joe Biden but could it undermine how the U.S. views future claims the Ukrainian president makes about Russia’s invasion?

On Tuesday, there was initial alarm among world leaders that the strike in Przewodow in the east of the NATO member could prompt an a response under Article 5 of the alliance’s charter. This quickly eased when Poland and the U.S. agreed that it was an accident likely caused by a Ukrainian air defense missile.

Sam Bankman-Fried and the scam of woke capitalism

CEOs and companies are never on the side of the people

For anyone seeking direct proof that woke capitalism is nothing but a scam, look no further than Sam Bankman-Fried, founder and former CEO of the now bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, who says as much in a direct message exchange with Vox reporter Kelsey Piper. He calls “ethics” a “dumb game we woke Westerners play” — presumably to avoid any scrutiny from journalists, employees, investors and consumers.

Alan MacMasters: How the great online toaster hoax was exposed

For more than a decade, a prankster spun a web of deception about the inventor of the electric toaster. His lies fooled newspapers, teachers and officials. Then a teenager flagged up something that everyone else had missed.

“I read through Wikipedia a lot when I’m bored in class,” says Adam, aged 15, who studies photography and ICT at a school in Kent.

One day last July, one of his teachers mentioned the online encyclopaedia’s entry about Alan MacMasters, who it said was a Scottish scientist from the late 1800s and had invented “the first electric bread toaster”.

The coming conflict with China

The smiles at the G20 cannot mask the deep tensions between East and West.

The G20 heads of state met in Bali this week, with geopolitical instability swirling around them and tensions raised between West and East. The missile that landed on Polish soil on Tuesday almost derailed proceedings. For one thing, it led Chinese president Xi Jinping to stand up Rishi Sunak, supposedly because of last-minute ‘movements to schedules’. But at least Joe Biden’s three-hour meeting with Xi passed without incident. And the relief of the delegates and the media was palpable.

Taboo Thoughts from Poland

Today’s Poland defies several leftist narratives.

As I settled into my LOT airlines seat, waiting for the plane to take off to Warsaw, I realized that I was feeling cozy. All my life I’ve been really self-conscious about how pale I am. Pale skin is thin skin and thin skin provides no camouflage. Every scar and eye bag, every wrinkle and knotted vein, is neon. “Black don’t crack,” black women boast. The darker the skin, the thicker. Thick skin wrinkles less and hides imperfections. Pale people like me look older than a comparable darker skinned person.

Hollywood Movies Still Missing

Why American films ignore life under Communism.

Every so often someone in Hollywood uses his power to break the movie colony’s rules. Consider this year’s “Total Eclipse.” Odd as it may seem, this is the first serious American film set against the background of the 1939 Nazi-Soviet Pact, the deal that allied Europe’s two totalitarian powers against the West and helped plunge the world into war. With an ally on the Eastern Front, Hitler sent his Panzers west while Stalin helped himself to the Baltic states and invaded Finland. A film like this could have been as big a didactic dud as the Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s 1982 bomb, “Inchon,” with Laurence Olivier as Gen. Douglas MacArthur. But this time the verisimilitude of the script, carried by some outstanding performances, is the source of the film’s dramatic power.
