The trail of despair left by Madoff continues to this day. He was a monster and I hope his soul is tortured for eternity.

They were both in the mid-80's. Some elderly couples just decide to cash it in together. Not in my belief system, but I can see where neither wants to be without the other. Only God knows their reasons, and may He have mercy on their decision.

This entire family has been mostly wiped out. Hard to feel sorry for people who happily lived extremely wealthy lives by defrauding others. They knew all about it.

POWAY, Calif. – Some families are reaching a boiling point over the school mask mandate at Poway Unified School District. From heated school board meetings in Santee to anti-mask rallies in Poway, young children and their parents are becoming more vocal over California's indoor school mask mandate that has no expiration date. PUSD superintendent Marian Kim Phelps wrote a two-page letter to Governor Gavin Newsom and the county's health officer Dr. Wilma Wooten last week asking for an immediate time frame as to when the mandate would be lifted. California is one of 13 states in the country that have yet

Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman on Sunday accused allies of former President Donald Trump of "fanning flames" and encouraging Russia to invade Ukraine amid escalating tensions in the region. "These people and a great deal of the GOP leadership will have blood on their hands. They're fanning flames, encouraging Putin to attack Ukraine," Vindman tweeted. "Putin and his regime perceive opportunities because such fools suggest the U.S. is weak, divided, and distracted."

MUNICH — In an appeal that was at times bitterly critical of the West, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine urged allies on Saturday to begin sanctioning Russia now rather than wait for an invasion, and he took aim at repeated American declarations that an attack would happen within days. “What are you waiting for?’’ Mr. Zelensky asked a large audience at the annual meeting of the Munich Security Conference, which he attended despite warnings that his absence from Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, could give Russia an opportunity to strike. “We don’t need your sanctions after” the economy collapses and “parts

MINNEAPOLIS — The judge who sentenced white former Officer Kim Potter on Friday to two years in prison for killing Black motorist Daunte Wright cited the difficult job that police face — and Potter’s remorse — as justification for giving her a light sentence. Hennepin County District Judge Regina Chu choked up as she described the difficulty deciding on a sentence for Potter, who said she meant to use her Taser but mistakenly fired her handgun into Wright’s chest as he tried to drive away from a traffic stop in April. Wright’s family and attorneys angrily condemned Chu, who is

QUEBEC — True to their word, hundreds of anti-health-restriction protesters have arrived in the streets of the provincial capital. Under the watchful eye of what appeared to be an increased police presence, the first members of the trucker convoy started arriving around 9 a.m. Saturday, driving around the city with Canadian and Quebec flags attached to their vehicles.

MINNEAPOLIS - Former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter was sentenced Friday morning to two years in prison after a jury found her guilty of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter in the April 2021 shooting death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright. Presiding Judge Regina Chu said there was no question that Potter is extremely remorseful when she announced a downward departure from state guidelines with a total sentence of 24 months, with 16 months served in prison, and the remaining on supervised release. Potter will receive credit for 58 days served. Chu said she found the facts and circumstances of the case justified

It is the first fatal shark attack in Sydney since 1963.

Following Russia ordering troops into two Ukrainian territories Monday, a 2019 video of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden circulated showing Biden promising that when he becomes president, he would end Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “days of tyranny” and intimidation. “Once again, Putin and the Russians are trying to engage in our elections and decide who the president’s going to be,” Biden said in a 2019 fundraising ad. “This time I’m the object of their attention. Because Putin knows if I am president of the United States, his days of tyranny and trying to intimidate the United States and those in Eastern Europe are over.”

Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse plans to take aim at the people and organizations who called him a 'murderer', a 'white supremacist' among other things in the run up to his trial and subsequent acquittal. Rittenhouse killed two men and wounded a third during confrontations amid anti-police protests in Kenosha in August 2020. He testified that he acted in self-defense. Last November, the 18-year-old was found not guilty of first-degree intentional homicide and other charges, and walked out of court a free man. Speaking on Tucker Carlson on Fox News on Monday night, Rittenhouse said he wanted to hold major media and entertainment figures 'accountable'

I don’t hate Lia Thomas because she’s a transexual; I hate her because she’s a cheat. At the Ivy League Championship Swim Meet last weekend, Thomas easily won four events, setting pool and league records. She may be the most-improved swimmer in history. She was ranked 462nd in the country a few years ago, and is now ranked Number 1. The difference is not that her swim times have gotten better. It’s that her competition has gotten worse. Her Number 462 ranking was against men, while her Number 1 ranking is against women.

A photograph came across my screen today that perfectly encapsulates what’s wrong with modern, traditional education. (I use the word “traditional” as a contrast to Montessori or Waldorf schools.) In it, we see that a child gave a correct answer to an ambiguous question, only to be told his answer was wrong because the teacher was unable to see beyond the confines of her answer book. Things like this turn students into the kind of mindless drones who think as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez does.
