-Lurid Crime Tales-
At Least 30 Shot During Weekend In Democrat-Run Chicago
[Breitbart] At least 30 people were shot, five of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.

Breitbart News reported at least 13 people were shot Friday into Saturday night alone, and four of those people succumbed to their wounds.

On Monday morning, CBS News noted that the weekend’s toll of violence had reached at least 30 shot, with one additional shooting fatality, bringing the total number of shooting deaths to five.

That fifth shooting death occurred Monday morning around 3 a.m. “in the 3900 block of South Archer Avenue.” A 33-year-old man got into an argument with another man who pulled a gun and shot the 33-year-old twice. The 33-year-old was taken to a hospital, where he died.

#2  Chicago's gun control doesn't seem to be working but then it hasn't worked in any of these blue city and blue state hell-holes. The gov and mayor seems to myopic on top of it.

Judge speaks out after her $1.5m mansion 'exploded' in suspected arson attack after she defied Trump order
[DM] Several reports said the circuit court judge had received death threats over the past few weeks following her decision to prevent the state from handing over sensitive voter registration documents to the federal government.

A judge whose $1.5 million beach house burned down after a suspected arson explosion has spoken to the Daily Mail in the wake of the inferno.

Judge Diane Goodstein, 69, said: 'I'm alright,' when contacted Monday morning, two days after her property in Edisto Beach, South Carolina, was consumed by flames.

Goodstein sounded cheerful over the phone and said she would be 'happy to direct you to a court administrator' to answer further questions about the fire.

The judge was out walking on the beach when the suspected arson attack happened - just weeks after she had issued a decisive ruling against the Trump administration.

Her former Democrat state senator husband Arnold Goodstein jumped from a first floor window to escape the blaze and suffered multiple broken bones. Two others were also hospitalized.

Authorities are now working to determine what may have caused the four-bedroom, four bath home to go up in smoke.

Trump's Department of Justice had requested South Carolina officials turn over the personal data of more than 3.3 million voters, including names, addresses, birth dates, driver's license numbers and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers.

#2  Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. Right, your honor? You issue an order "defying" Trump, and shortly thereafter your house catches fire. So it is obviously Trump's fault.

#4  Her former Democrat state senator husband Arnold Goodstein jumped from a first floor window to escape the blaze and suffered multiple broken bones.

He jumped all the way from a first floor window? Wow. And what, exactly, was he doing before the fire started? Did he come close to getting his little fingies burned when he did it? This whole incident reeks of false flag. Trump doesn't need to burn her house. All he needs is to get the case heard by SCOTUS.

#11  Haven't been following Low Country weather, but I'll go with "first use this year of fireplace, heaters, or indoor grill." Always think of that as a poor folks thing, but I suppose "the law, in its majesty," must be just as subject to carelessness and stupidity as the rest of us.

#12  He jumped all the way from a first floor window?

America and Britain: divided by the same language. The Daily Mail is an English newspaper; what we call the first floor they call the ground floor. What they call the first storey, we call the second story.

So he jumped out the upstairs window, and landed poorly, rather than just stepping out through French doors onto the back deck.

#13  And having said all that, Yahoo reports this evening that the house on the edge of a marsh had an elevated first floor, so it’s not a language thing after all — it sounds like the house was functionally on stilts to keep the water out.

Also, authorities report no evidence of arson thus far.

13 year old Floridian enquires ChatGPT how to kill a classmate


Text:

A 13-year-old teenager in Florida asked ChatGPT how to kill a classmate — the request was immediately intercepted, and he was arrested inside the school!

The system detected the message and triggered an alert, then the boy explained it was "just a joke" and was later released.

-: ChatGPT is now snitching faster than the hallway monitor! 🤯🇺🇸

Top Iowa school leader arrested by ICE had lengthy criminal record
[JustTheNews] The arrest of Ian Andre Roberts by ICE in late September when he was superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools has exposed a lengthy domestic criminal record.

Roberts, who is now in custody at the Polk County jail, faces charges including illegal weapons possession and other serious counts, according to Fox News.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said he “should never have been serving” in a job overseeing children.

Roberts’ LinkedIn claimed he was an “incoming MBA candidate” at MIT’s Sloan School of Management but MIT confirmed it has no record of him as a student.

His criminal history includes charges in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York such as reckless driving, unlawful possession of a loaded firearm, drug possession, forgery and criminal possession of weapons.

With Wall Street jobs fleeing, New York is nearing the point of no return
[NYPOST] New York is losing population, losing jobs and losing ground to the rest of the country — and its leaders just don't seem to care.

Start with last week's news that banking giant JPMorgan Chase now employs more workers in Texas than in New York City; indeed the Lone Star State now has more bank employees than Gotham, period.

Partnership for New York City chief Kathy Wylde is badly understating things when she calls this news ''scary.''

Plenty of other finance jobs have flown to Florida, North Carolina and other states; the day grows ever closer when the Big Apple, once the unrivaled financial services capital of America and the world, will become a finance backwater.

The long trend predates COVID and even 9/11; ever since the early 1960s, the city and state have been piling on new taxes, among a host of other sins of omission and commission that make New York City ever-less affordable and livable.

Even the gains of the Giuliani and Bloomberg years only slowed Gotham's loss of ground relative to other parts of the nation.

Immortal Monkeys? Not Quite, But [Chinese] Scientists Just Reversed Aging With 'Super' Stem Cells
[ZeroHedge] Key Points:

  • "Super Stem Cells" boosted memory in monkeys and offered protection against neurodegeneration.

  • They halted age-related bone loss and restored vitality in more than half of the 61 tissues examined.

  • The therapy also cut back harmful inflammation and reduced the burden of senescent cells — the aged, non-dividing cells that drive aging throughout the body.

In a discovery that may have profound impacts on aging, scientists in Beijing have taken a dramatic step toward what once seemed impossible: making old animals biologically young again. The study was published last month in the journal Cell.

#5  Tissue samples. That’s the tell that while there may be something to this, the transition to an actual therapy is a long way off.
