Both teens accused of murdering Calgary police officer will seek bail as soon as possible
When Amir Abdulraman and his 17-year-old friend were pulled over by police on New Years Eve, there was already a warrant out for the older teen’s arrest.
Abdulraman, 19, was wanted for assault when Sgt. Andrew Harnett initiated a traffic stop in the city’s northeast. The vehicle he stopped struck and dragged him, killing him.
Both Abdulrahman and the 17-year-old youth are now charged with the first-degree murder of Harnett.
Hollywood: No Man’s Land
Only beggarly “male feminists” and posturing macho women survive — barely.
Sherlock Holmes may have deduced where we would be a hundred years later:
“There’s an east wind coming, Watson.”
“I think not, Holmes. It is very warm.”
“Good old Watson. You’re the one fixed point in a changing age. There’s an east wind coming all the same, such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it’s God’s own wind nonetheless, and a cleaner, better, stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm has cleared.”
BBC Says Jesus Was a Black Palestinian
As I noted in discussing Hilaria Baldwin yesterday, to be white today is to be evil, as far as the Western intelligentsia is concerned. And so it was not a big surprise when, a week before Christmas, the BBC World Service radio show Heart and Soul aired a segment called “Black Jesus,” and has since then rerun it more than once. It’s more “realistic,” the BBC assures us, to see Jesus as a “darker skinned Palestinian.” Realistic or no, it’s certainly in line with the mythology of the age, in which only those who are darker skinned could possibly be righteous. In such a context, how could the one whom Christians worship as the Savior of the world have anything but the darkest possible skin?

Judge reinstates execution of federal death row’s only female inmate

11 More GOP Senators to Object to Electoral College Votes
A group of 11 senators on Saturday announced they’re going to challenge electoral votes during the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress.

Adam Carolla: Mainstream Media, Big Tech Rigged Election for Biden
Adam Carolla never jumped aboard the Trump Train.
The two worked together on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice years ago, a union which gave the podcaster a unique perspective on the future President.
Still, it wasn’t enough for Carolla to don a MAGA hat. Partisan politics isn’t his style, and his eclectic positions put him all over the ideological map.

Portland Mayor Admits Failure in Dealing with Antifa, Asks for Federal, State Help
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler admitted his policies in dealing with Antifa anarchists failed. He called for new enforcement actions and asked for federal and state assistance in dealing with the lawlessness.
“My good-faith efforts at de-escalation have been met with ongoing violence and even scorn from radical Antifa and anarchists,” Wheeler said in a New Year’s Day press conference. “In response, it will be necessary to use additional tools and to push the limits of the tools we already have to bring the criminal destruction and violence to an end.”
