"woman, 36, stabbed to death in dollar general parking lot by stranger in unprovoked attack"

(Blunt, simple, English translation: "woman, 36, stabbed to death in dollar general parking lot." Ten words, instead of 15. Today, media operatives stuff all manner of unnecessary words into articles, while refusing to provide the necessary facts. We have no idea if the killer was a stranger, "attack" is redundant, and "unprovoked" is superfluous. Meanwhile, most crime stories refuse to provide the reader or listener with the "Who? What? Where? When? How? or Why?")

"police say Cheyenne Kastens was ambushed by Lemar Beasley, 54, in the parking lot of the dollar general store. investigators say she was stabbed more than 40 times.

Hi, I thought you might enjoy reading this article I just came across: HILARIOUS: Amazon Launches 'Amazon Air' Drone Deliveries And The Video Is A Must-See

This is the link: https://wltreport.com/2025/12/29/hilarious-amazon-launches-amazon-air-drone-deliveries-video/

Amazon now has a pharmacy at the Richardson location.

I know this had a checkup one Friday morning a few weeks ago.

My physician re-ordered a few prescriptions for me.

Usually, the electronic request would go to the Amazon pharmacy in Austin, and my prescriptions would then be overnighted to me from Austin via UPS overnight.

Doctor refilled the prescriptions in the morning.

Two of the prescriptions were delivered to me that afternoon.

Almost like a courier service.

Obviously, Amazon is selling convenience and the time factor.

Thus drone delivery.

She did speak out against islam invading france. i didn't even hear about it, but the french government fined her and all she did was tell the truth. Media didn't really give her a lot of coverage for her anti-islam stance, mostly it was about her animal rights activism. Whatever else you might say about her, she at least had the courage to say what other people didn't about islam.

You say, “The French actress’ legacy is marred by controversies including racist, islamophobic and homophobic ideologies.” But Bardot wasn’t “racist,” or “phobic” towards islam, homosexuals, or self-styled “transgenders.” Her patriotism and sexual normalcy were the proudest parts of her legacy. But you are racist, treasonous, and hate normalcy.

"another dei hire: student exposes instructors [sic] anti White [sic] comments

By Seth Segal
Dec. 25, 2025

"as first reported by Campus Reform, "Audio recorded by a student at Weber state university reveals what the student says is evidence of his debate professor's 'anti-White' attitudes."

"if this wasn't hateful and irrational enough, the instructor also asserted that science and the concept of space were 'White fantasies.'

"in addition, this 'educator' argued that those concepts were "fake".

"the instructor also endorsed a plan to 'launch all White people into outer space,' echoing radical anti White and anti-Jewish hater Louis Farrakhan.

"'our argument will be that space is not real,' says the instructor, who the student identifies in a separate video as Ryan Wash, while guiding students through a debate topic meant to address the validity of the U.S. working with other countries for space exploration. "

A student at Weber, Michael Moreno, recorded his experiences with this instructor, who served as his debate coach.

The student made a video chronicling all these experiences with this anti-White teacher, as well as other hateful anti-White experiences.

Among the "gems" these instructors were caught teaching were "Whiteness then works, and then appropriates science and technology to say, 'this is true while this is not true because it's not verifiable,'" said Wash, going on to say that this is a "hyperfocus on the experiential" for those who do not "capitulate with whiteness."

Moreno then raised the topic of Black astronauts who have been to space. Wash dismissed the example and pressed Moreno to prove that any black people have been to space, suggesting "we cannot know for sure if any have."

Moreno posits that "the instructor may claim to have been simply engaging in a debate exercise, but argues that only using one's own experience as evidence is fundamentally flawed and therefore not a legitimate debate exercise, not to mention assuming that the assertion that space is real has something to do with 'whiteness.'"

In another segment of the video, Moreno argues that people who have gone through something as an experience are proof that something exists. The instructor, however, responds by calling that assertion 'colonialism.'

The instructor also argued, "Whiteness as a structure definitely rules the world, that's our uniqueness argument."

The student argued to Campus Reform that "I think that this is just one of many examples of academic corruption and indoctrination. It particularly concerns me that this is happening in what is supposed to be a 'debate' class, since the basis of debate is intellectual diversity and the open exchange of ideas."

Per Campus Reform:

"Weber State University is aware of the video in question. It appears the audio included in this video was part of a longer discussion from a coach preparing the debate team as they engage in the deliberation of a wide variety of social issues during a season of competition," Weber State Public Relations Director told Campus Reform.

"Weber State University supports academic freedom and has policies in place to protect both faculty and students from harassment and discrimination as they engage in these conversations.

"This matter in its complete context will be reviewed further by the university to make sure all perspectives are equally and fairly represented," she said.

This video reveals a deep underbelly of hate entrenched in academia, which is destructive for young people's minds.

My editorial:

The history and aim of the Fourteenth Amendment is well known, and the purpose had in view in its adoption well understood. That purpose was to confer the status of citizenship upon a numerous class of persons domiciled within the limits of the United States [several states], who could not be brought within the operation of the naturalization laws because native born, and whose birth, though native, had at the same time left them without the status of citizenship. These persons were not white persons, but were, in the main, persons of African descent, who had been held in slavery in this country, or, if having themselves never been held in slavery, were the native-born descendants of slaves. Van Valkenburg v. Brown, 43 Cal. 43, 47 (Cal. 1872)

When we look at the African every place the go the are violent destroyers with an inherent hate for all things - especially for whites.

Whites brought S Africa out of the stone age into culture and prosperity. The blacks claimed they created all that and the whites took it away from them. They murdered the white farmers and then begged the world for food because their IQ is so low they could not figure out how to run the farms.

Now they are engaged in a genocide of whites.  They are doing the same in all the European countries they have invaded.

They were taught that whites in the states have oppressed them and that, and not their low IQ, is the reason for their inability to integrate into white culture.

A poll a few years ago uncovered the fact that over half want a genocide of whites in their own country.

The only way the will be brought under control is for whites to take back control. One way would be to check the ancestry of every black that commits any serious crime and if they do not have a slave in their past, then deport them to Liberia and forbid them re-entry with the pain of 1 year at hard labor if the sneak back in.

Naturally, all the illegals of all races need to be rounded up and put in work camps for at least 6 months and then deported. The need to be punished for breaking our federal law regarding invasion.

All those that gave the invaders aid and comfort need to be prosecuted for misappropriation of public funds and the ring leaders, like Newsom need to be brought up on charges of treason for giving aid and comfort to invaders.

Yes, all this is constitutional.

We cannot blame the Africans. They are genetically very different than Europeans and E Asians. They are just doing what genetics has programmed them to do. That does not mean that we do not have a duty to take back control and make America great again.

We need to send all the white liberals with them.

It was up for four Oscars, all majors, and Riskin and Capra were off to the races, making their biggest hit, and the greatest romantic comedy of all time, It Happened One Night (1934), the following year. I found Lady good but not great. Conversely, I rank It Happened One Night as the fourth greatest masterpiece of all time, after The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), Citizen Kane, and The Wizard of Oz.

Re-posted by Nicholas Stix

James Mason is Johnny McQueen, the leader of the Belfast chapter of the IRA. He broke out of prison eight months ago, and spent the past six months holed up in the house of a aged widow supporter, whose pretty daughter has fallen in love with him, planning a payroll heist, to refill the IRA's supplies. But he has not so much as touched the girl's hand. And things are not right with Johnny, which he has been unable to hide from his younger gangmates. And yet, he feels obliged to lead the robbery.

Odd Man Out - opening score (with maybe a little Carmina Burana)

essx22: 5,568 views May 22, 2012
"To celebrate the release of Odd Man Out on 18th June on Blu-Ray (Carol Reed's underrated masterpiece), here is William Alwyns magnificent opening score. This is a re-recording of the score as the original was destroyed in a fire. This version is available on Chandos movie records ref CHAN9243 (London Philharmonic with Richard Hickox conducting)

"A haunting yet lyrical masterpiece about a doomed fugitive, Odd Man Out is Carol Reed's breakthrough film as a director after a long, somehow undistinguished career. He followed this success with two other classics in British cinema, The Fallen Idol, and arguably his greatest film, The Third Man.

"In one of his greatest performance of a long and illustrious career, James Mason plays Johnny McQueen, an IRA leader who breaks out of jail and plans a payroll holdup of a mill in Belfast to fund his underground operations.

"Though no commercially popular at the box office, the film quickly won worldwide plaudits and established Reed as an internationally renowned filmmaker. Reed followed this picture with two other masterpieces, The Fallen Idol, in 1948, and The Third Man with Orson Welles in 1949.





Odd Man Out - A Suite (William Alwyn - 1946)





""@grega7323 I first saw this movie on Turner Classics Movies. For me, it was this movie that gave me my introduction to William Alwyn's music. I love this score and it prompted me to seek out more of his music and I have NOT been disappointed."


N.S.: I had the identical experience tonight. Red Eddie Muller broadcast the movie tonight on Noir Alley. I had seen it over 50 years ago on local TV, and had very fond memories of it, and I'd seen Reed's other masterpieces (The Fallen Idol, also 50-odd years ago, and The Third Man, which I've since seen a number of times, including only a year or two ago).

It turned out that my fond memories were inaccurate, but that's fine, because I got to experience the picture anew. During the last 15-20 minutes, I started to notice Alwyn's moving score, and by the end, I was overwhelmed, though not simply by his music.

I have seen many brilliant, moving pictures in my life, but I can't recall feeling so emotionally overwhelmed at the end of any others. And despite James Mason's brilliance, [deleted for surprise] stole the picture.


Now, everyone, watch and/or download this masterpiece before the KK come for it. I know, there are several downloads of the entire picture presently at youtube, but they could all be gone in a whisper. A few years ago, someone put up a download, and a few months later, it, too, was gone. The KK (Kopyright Kops) had struck!

bLACK father released after murder charges dropped in kentucky shooting a few weeks ago; turns out, bLACK "students" threatened and beat two brothers at bLACK school in kentucky,

Pops did the right thing,but now he--and the offspring--are on the "negro sh*tlist". FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A grand jury has declined to indict the father of two Kentucky State University students who was charged with murder in an on-campus shooting that killed one student and critically injured another. In a social media post after the Tuesday hearing, defense attorney Scott Danks said grand jurors decided not to indict his client, Jacob Lee Bard, for the Dec. 9 shooting and he is out of jail. Bard’s attorneys have said that 20 to 30 people had gathered to attack his son and family, and that he was justified in shooting two people who were beating his son. After the grand jury decision, Kentucky State officials said they “will cooperate with law enforcement and investigators as appropriate” and are focused on student safety and well-being. Bard’s attorneys say the family was moving their younger son out, with two armed campus police officers present, after withdrawing both sons from school because of “multiple armed, violent” incidents against them and other students in the days leading up to Dec. 9, some captured on security cameras. When the family and an officer reached the dormitory entrance on the move-out day, the group of people in masks and hoods rushed out and began violently assaulting the family and others, including beating the son’s head against the pavement, the attorneys said. In October, the younger son reported a burglary in his dorm room to campus police and received threats of violence afterward, the attorneys said. Because of continued threats,the family is staying in a secret location. --GRA Wednesday, December 24, 2025 at 5:43:00 PM EST

"detroit: (Fox 2) - a woman and 1-year-old baby are both recovering at a hospital after someone opened fire on an east side detroit home early Christmas Eve.

"police said a shotspotter alert around 3:30 a.m. wednesday led them to a home in the 19000 block of Binder near outer drive and seven mile. when officers arrived, they found a house with multiple bullet holes, but no one was inside.

"shortly after, police were called to nearby concord street about two shooting victims - a baby who had been shot in the leg and a 24-year-old woman who suffered a gunshot wound to her hand.

"police went to the home and learned that the victims had fled the shooting scene and gone to a family's home on concord after they were shot.

"'the last thing we want on Christmas Eve is a 1-year-old shot. a 1-year-old should be waiting for Christmas to happen, so this is a very sad thing to happen," dpd deputy chief Arnold Williams said.

"no one is in custody, and an investigation is ongoing.

GRA: "Who shot you," asked the cops.

"black Santa," said the woman.

"Whatchoo talkin' about, lady?

"She's not telling who did it," said another cop.

"IT WAS "bLACK SANTA--DAMMIT," the negress yelled.

"B.S." replied the other cop.

"That's RIGHT--B.S.--bLACK SANTA!"

"Pablo Criollo, 45, was walking home from work when he was shot in the back by an arrow on saturday, around 6.45 p.m. in Kearny, about 11 miles west of new york city.

"Criollo of Harrison was brought to university hospital in Newark, where he was pronounced dead, according to a press release from the Hudson county prosecutor's office.

"surveillance footage from a business near Kearny avenue showed how the tragedy unfolded.

"the father-of-two could be seen walking down the street when a snap of the bow is heard. almost instantly, he reaches for the arrow plunged in his back before leaning onto a railing and then collapsing onto the pavement.

"authorities arrested the alleged shooter, Oscar Feijoo, 44, after a chaotic scene at the suspect's home.

"the swat team responded to Feijoo's residence after he barricaded himself inside for hours and set it on fire.

"the alleged killer finally exited the home to stand off with the authorities while he was armed with knives, according to the press release."

TCM's Film Noir of the Week: What Got into Red Eddie Muller?! He's Showing a Picture from Carol Reed's Masterpiece Run, at 12:30 and 10 a.m. Sunday Morning: Odd Man Out (1947) with James Mason, Robert Newton, Kathleen Sullivan, Cyril Cusack, P.J. McCormack, Denis O'Dea, W.G. Fay and Dan O'Herlihy

TCM's Film Noir of the Week at 12:30 and 10 a.m.is Carol Reed's Odd Man Out (1947) with James Mason, Robert Newton, Kathleen Sullivan, Cyril Cusack, P.J. McCormack, Denis O'Dea, W.G. Fay and Dan O'Herlihy

James Mason (in one of the finest performances of his career) is the local IRA leader in Belfast, who has been hiding out in the home of the woman (Sullivan) who loves him ever since his escape from prison six months before. He and his comrades stick up a local mill to obtain funds. The heist went wrong and Mason was wounded.

Carol Reed was criticized by both sides of "favoritism." Politics aside, Reed's film is considered by many a masterpiece of film noir.


N.S.: From 1947-1951, starting with Odd Man Out (1947), Carol Reed went on a masterpiece run. In 1951, Reed continued his trilogy with Ralph Richardson and Bobby Henrey starring in The Fallen Idol, written by Graham Greene. In 1949, Reed and Greene peaked with The Third Man, starring Joseph "King" Cotten, as pulp fiction writer Holly Martins, loose in Vienna shortly after The War, with Orson Welles stealing every scene he was in, as murderous black marketeer Harry Lime.

I rank The Third Man as the 11th-greatest picture ever made, after:

1. The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
2. Citizen Kane (1941)
3. The Wizard of Oz (1939)
4. It Happened One Night (1934)
5. It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
6. Shane (1953)
7. The Godfather (1972)
7. The Godfather, Part II (1974)
9. The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
9. Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

Chuck was one of my finance instructors at UT Dallas.  I worked for him a few years ago.  He owns a boutique consulting firm in Plano.  http://www.emasoftech.com

Chuck's parents were divorced.  Chuck lived here in Lake Highlands with his mother.  His father lived near Goddard Space  Center in Maryland.

Chuck would spend a few weeks every summer with his father in Maryland.

One summer day he cornered his father in the kitchen after dinner.  Chuck asked him, "Does NASA have technology as good as Star Wars or Star Trek?"  His father replied simply, "Better."

   

Even President Trump admitted as much recently about Uncle Sam's weapons.
