In The Shadow Of Mt Hollywood

Just this morning, via Time Magazine : Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky went against the most powerful leaders of his party to push forward with a vote to release more Jeffrey Epstein investigation files. Except that last night , President Donald Trump called for House Republicans to take a “vote to release” files relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, explaining that it is time for the nation “to move on from this Democrat Hoax.” . . . “As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown,'” Trump said in his post. According to Wikipedia , The term "Epstein files" refers to documents collected as evidence in th...

Via The Catholic Herald : The US Conference of Catholic Bishops was briefly unsettled this week when Bishop Joseph Strickland intervened against Fr James Martin over a recent confirmation liturgy involving an openly “married” homosexual couple. The exchange occurred during the Committee on Doctrine’s consideration of Action Item #03, which concerns updated Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services. Bishop Strickland spoke briefly and drew attention to images widely circulated online of a recent liturgy involving a well-known American broadcaster. “Since we’re in the area of doctrine,” he said, “I don’t know how many of us have seen on social media, priests and others gathered celebrating the confirmation of a man living with a man openly. And it just needs to be addressed.” Bishop Strickland continued, stating, “Father James Martin once again involved. Great pictures of all of them smiling. Here we are talking about doctrine. I just thought I need to...

Biden showered half a billion dollars on @USCCB for resettling his foreign invasion force. Trump took office and stopped it, and now @USCCB is doing a PR campaign condemning Trump’s immigration policies. We all know what’s happening here. https://t.co/V1KwTEfkZa — Oilfield Rando (@Oilfield_Rando) November 14, 2025 Yesterday , As The New York Times reported, the United States’ Conference of Bishops sharply rebuked the Trump Administration over its mass deportation policy of illegals during the bishops’ annual conference in Baltimore. In a statement, the bishops slammed the Trump Administration for creating “a climate of fear,” vilifying illegals, and not granting lawbreakers access to pastoral care. . . . The statement overwhelmingly passed, with 216 anonymous votes in favor. Five bishops voted no, and three abstained. I asked Chrome AI mnode, "What are major catholic NGOs that support migrants, and has the trump administration withdrawn funding?" It rep...

Let me start by saying I don't think "gait analysis" had much to do with identifying either Osama bin Laden or alleged J6 pipe bomber Shauni Kerkhoff. I'm sure there is such a thing as "gait analysis", but I don't think it's used independently without a lot of other pointers, and something else, including human sources, put investigators on the track in both cases. In fact, I think "gait analysis" is being used here mostly as a cover to protect human informants. Next, the basic investigative tool these days is camera footage. Cameras are everywhere, something the putative bomber apparently neglected to keep in mind on her bomb planting expedition, even though she was allegedly in law enforcement. If there was so much footage of her as she circumnavigated Capitol Hill for nearly an hour on January 5, 2021 -- this is beyond dispute -- investigators must have other footage of her entering and leaving the area in that distinctive outfit. ...

From Newsweek : According to Billboard’s "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, the No. 1 song in the U.S. is "Walk My Walk" by Breaking Rust—an artist that was created by artificial intelligence (AI). . . . This is a new development in the music industry as it is the first time an AI-created song has reached the top of the charts. There have long been concerns about the use of generative AI in creative sectors. But there's nothing new here. In David Alan Coes's song "You Never Even Called Me by My Name", he added a verse to the original 1971 lyrics by Steve Goodman and John Prine. He outlined "the perfect country western song", which needed to mention "Trains and trucks and mamas and prison and gettin' drunk": I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison And I went to pick her up in the rain But before I could get to the station in the pickup truck She got ran over by a damned old train. Even before AI, peop...

Mike Benz draws an interesting connection with the alleged January 6 pipe bomber in the video embedded above. At 3:20: The guy in chgarge of the FBI at the time was the one who sold fake pipe bombs three months earlier in the Whitmer fednapping case. Steve D'Antuono was how did they bust them on the Whitmer fednapping case, where over half of the co-conspirators turned out to be federal assets or informants. It was two FBI agents, this is the Detroiit FBI Field Office, Steve D'Antuono these guys were under, who went to a bunch of Three Percenters, that was one of the militia groups, the big three militia groups, the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers on January 6, went to the exact miltia group that was involved in January 6, infiltrated them, convinced them, trained them on how to build homemade pipe bombx, and then busted them buying pipe bomb parts and chaged them with attempted possession of weapons of mass destruction. According to Wikipedia , On October 8, 2020, the ...

So the Democrats caved last evening, and there's a leadership crisis in the party. I was on this Thursday and Saturday . It happened, as I discussed then, because they allowed Trump to back them into a structured choice in which the alternatives to caving would be seeing the filibuster nuked or abandoning their key constituencies of federal workers and welfare recipients. Trump knew this would happen when he flew Air Force One on a victory flight over the Lions-Commanders game yesterday afternoon, even befiore they caved. Nothing new here. What I do think is a more interesting topic is the alleged January 6 pipe bomber. As a good contrarian, I note that this topic, which even many alt sites wouldn't touch when the story broke, has now completely disappeared from any news at all. That means it's got to be worth pursuing. On November 1 , I posted about the two prevailing theories of the case, that the individual in loose clothes, a hoodie, and face mask seen in ...
