NY Post: Shecky Greene (born Fred Sheldon Greenfield) dies, age 97.
His name is familiar to me, beyond that - nothing.
We still have over 5 hours left for a more notable, worthy and satisfying name to hit the obits for 2023. C'mon Reap, do your job.
The Smoking Gun: Cops: Pastor Tried To Deep-Fry McDonald's Cook.
Latoya Gladney, a 44-year-old manager in training at a McDonald’s in North Carolina, told police that her employees were “disrespecting” her last night, so she called her husband “to assist her.”
[.]
Cops say Dwayne Waden [Gladney's husband], a 57-year-old church pastor walked into the kitchen and began punching Theodore Garlington, a McDonald’s cook, in the face. Waden also allegedly wrapped his hands around Garlington’s neck and began “pushing his head toward the deep fryer,” according to a police report.
Before Garlington, 34, could be dipped in hot oil, several employees interceded, pulling Waden [...] off the victim.
Garlington suffered “a large contusion to the forehead and right eye, along with scratches on his neck.” While EMS workers responded to the scene, Garlington chose to have relatives transport him to the hospital.
[.]
Bond was set at $1000 and a January 22 misdemeanor trial was scheduled for Waden.
Nice knowing bond is only $1,000 and it's a misdemeanor. What's the bond and charge if racial components are factored in and the victim is black and the perp is white? I'm unable to find stories reporting the race of Theodore Garlington.
The invasion is by design. The above will continue. Biden's puppet masters aren't interested in fixing this, they want this, they promote it.
Other than mass deportation, which will never happen, what's the answer? How does this end or doesn't it?
Anyone reading from or near AZ who is seeing this first-hand that wants to drop a comment on the migrant situation?

I wouldn't intentionally post incorrect information, unless it's my own satire, which should be obvious, unless your you're satire/sarcasm-impaired.

EDIT EDIT (01/01/2024): MSN, DU and Mediaite (parroting MSN) are debunking the Matt Wallace Tweet, which is no longer available. While all three cited outlets are liberal propaganda water carriers, it appears the Tweet is exaggerated. Also see comments for additional clarification. If Wallace was trolling the Left, good on him!
"Zick Zack" by Rammstein, from 2022's Zeit.
The song and video is about cosmetic operations and the rising desire to need surgery in order to retain one's youth and to maintain an acceptable appearance as one ages. "Zick Zack" is meant as the onomatopoeia of cutting and therefore can be translated as "snip-snip".
The Truth About Guns: Pope Slams Weapons Makers as Controllers of the ‘Puppet-Strings of War’.
Pope Francis on Monday blasted the weapons industry and its “instruments of death” that fuel wars[.]
[.]
He took particular aim at the weapons industry, which he said was fueling the conflicts around the globe with scarcely anyone paying attention.
Oh. It's the gun manufacturers that are causing global conflicts, not liberals, not globalists, not neocons, not the MIC, not the Amish. Pope o'da Pedophiles says it's Colt, Kimber, S&W, H/K, Winchester, Glock, Benelli and Henry "fueling the conflicts." He needs to deal with the pedos in his organization before sticking his nose into any other affairs. The Pope is a Cabal member so he has to say these things.
There never were any wars among nations or tribes prior to firearms, I guess.
Pedro's Mustache:
Weird that all these elitists want people to surrender their firearms while they retain their armories and armed bodyguards.

US News: Gaston Glock, the Man Behind the Gun, Dies Aged 94.
Gaston Glock, the reclusive engineer and tycoon who developed one of the world's best-selling handguns, died on Wednesday aged 94, Austrian news agency APA said.
The Austrian won loyal followings among police and military across the world with the weapons that bore his name. Forbes estimated his and his family's fortune at $1.1 billion in 2021.
His rise began in the 1980s when the Austrian military was looking for a new, innovative weapon.
Up until then, the Glock company had made military knives and consumer goods including curtain rods. But he assembled a team of firearms experts and came up with the Glock 17, a lightweight semi-automatic gun largely made of plastic.
The revolutionary design - with a frame made of a high-strength, nylon-based polymer and only the slide made of metal - beat several other companies' blueprints and secured his upstart outfit the contract.
Soon the easily assembled weapon became a global hit. "Get yourself a Glock and lose that nickel-plated sissy pistol," Tommy Lee Jones said in the 1998 movie "U.S. Marshals".

The Gun Feed: Bear-Spraying Robber Says “Happy Holidays” Before Jewelry Store Owner Shoots Her.
GARDENDALE, AL – A jewelry store owner in Gardendale, Ala. (roughly 10 miles from Birmingham) shot a robber on Dec. 6, stopping the robbery attempt in its tracks.
In an interview with AL.com , store owner Jeff Dennis said that the robber – one Heather Denise Wright, 32 – blocked the door of Jeff Dennis Jewelers after she entered the store, alerting him to an incipient robbery and prompting him to draw his concealed pistol.
After blocking the door, Wright said, “Happy Holidays! I don’t want to hurt y’all, but I am,” and started hosing the inside of the store down with bear spray.
Owner Jeff Dennis feared for his safety and that of his employees. Once she started using the spray, he fired and struck Wright in the shoulder, causing her to drop her purse and scream for him to stop and flee the scene.
Dennis hit the store alarm, alerting authorities, and closed the store.
Wright was found later that day, after which she was arrested and taken into custody as well as to University of Alabama Hospital. Dennis said he found additional weapons in her purse, which was left at the scene.

I'm so entertained by the part where, after she's shot, she drops her purse and screams ,"stop!" 🤣 She's lucky she didn't get the full Rittenhouse.
I thought she wanted to rumble? If it'd be me, I'm not sure I wouldn't have reflexively pulled the trigger a second time just to be sure.
"Ow! You shot me in the shoulder. Stop!" "Pew-Pew."
The pistol caliber isn't stated.
Ahhhhhh...live, love, laugh. And pull the trigger. 🤣

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Wishing All who find some reason to visit this blog, who comment and those great people on my Blog Roll; a Very Merry Christmas.
May your time with family and friends be Blessed.
Remember those separated from their loved ones - for whatever reasons - especially deployed U.S. Troops. Merry Christmas. May God watch over them. Remember those who are alone. Keep them all in your prayers.
For those experiencing this holiday for the first time without someone special in their lives, remember the good memories and hold onto them because those are the moments that matter.
It'll be in the mid-50's today. A Very Brown Christmas in the Twin Cities and most of Minnesota.
December brought a few dustings of snow, but it melted fast.
I know many people like snow for Christmas. I don't miss the snow one bit.
We'll have some rain instead. I can deal with that just fine!
Keep that Global Warming a'coming!

AutoBlog (with lots of pics): One-off Lamborghini Revuelto Opera Unica took 435 hours to paint.
Lamborghini turned the Revuelto, its new flagship model, into a one-off art car to celebrate its 60th birthday. Unveiled ahead of its public debut at the 2023 Art Basel show in Miami Beach, Florida, the 1,001-horsepower coupe named Opera Unica was designed in-house.
Beyond commemorating 60 years of Lamborghini's V12-powered cars, the Opera Unica showcases what the brand's Ad Personam team is capable of. It was painted entirely by hand. The front end is finished in a color called Viola Pasifae, and the livery gradually fades into a shade of black called Nero Helene. That's just the base layer; Lamborghini then added blue, red, and orange accents to emphasize speed.
Getting it perfect was more difficult than it might sound. Lamborghini notes that the livery required 76 hours of development and testing plus around 435 hours (that's over 18 days!) to apply. The finish touch is a 60th Anniversary logo on the hood that's only visible in the right light.
That's just the exterior; the interior took 220 additional hours to complete.

Understanding that during any crisis the timeline is, "fluid", as the experts tell us, this Las Vegas shooting raises questions that aren't being answered.
Click on the images for easier reading.
This person claims to have seen the shooter arrested and apprehended into police custody:
The most recent story from The Daily Mail: University of Nevada gunman Anthony Polito, 67, was armed with 9mm handgun and 11 loaded magazines: Shooter had a 'target list' - but none of the three people he killed were on it.
Around 11PM last night I was searching through various online news stories about this. I hit at least 8 different sites from CNN to local Vegas news. This would have been about 10-11 hours after the shooting. All the stories I read were copy/paste of whatever controlling main news disseminator spits out. Every story read the same. All were quick to point out that the name of the shooter hadn't yet been released. Why not? The shooter, we were told, is dead. Why withhold the name?
Who, according to the above video, was taken into custody?
Believe the narrative. It happened just like the news tells us. Shut up! Asking questions means you're a conspiracy theorist. You're not a conspiracy theorist, are you?
Mercury News (via Archive): Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day — just three survivors of the USS Arizona remain.On Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, the American Army and Navy base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The attack came as a surprise to the American Army and Navy and lead to great losses of life and equipment. More than 2000 American citizens were killed and more than 1000 were injured. The Americans also lost a large proportion of their battle ships and nearly 200 aircraft that were stationed in the Pacific region.
The three remaining USS Arizona survivors are Don Stratton, Lou Conter and Ken Potts.
Don Stratton was 19 at the time of the attack.
Lou Conter was 20 during the attack.
Ken Potts was 20 during the surprise attack.
It has been said that when an old person dies, it is like a library burning down. For the past 75 years, I have tried to share what I remember of World War II, but a day will come when I can no longer speak. Then what will become of everything I experienced on December 7, 1941? That’s why I wrote this account.
