CHICAGO -- Bric-A-Brac Records & Collectibles in Avondale has lost thousands of records, VHS tapes and other items after pipes burst during the weekend's deep freeze. Store owners said they lost at least 4,000 LPs, a couple thousand VHS tapes and vintage toys after four frozen pipes burst on Christmas Day. "It was flooding so much up here, it just went down to the basement and it was spewing down the walls, just getting through any crack, nook and cranny, you can find," said co-owner Nick Mayor. Mayor cut his family Christmas celebration short in Alabama to return to Chicago to

A 28-year-old man, Bryan Kohberger, was arrested Friday morning in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains in connection with the murders of four University of Idaho students, law enforcement sources told ABC News. Sources said that authorities knew who they were looking for and had tracked Kohberger down to Pennsylvania. A SWAT team entered the location where he was staying in order to take him into custody Friday. Kohberger appeared before a judge Friday morning. Moscow police officers, members of Idaho State Police, Moscow city leaders and University of Idaho officials will hold a news conference at 1 p.m. local time Friday.
When the 2020 presidential campaign was lurching into gear three years ago, former Vice President Joe Biden had led in the polls for months. Still, everyone kind of assumed he was a placeholder, a former office-holder with high name recognition whose campaign would nevertheless go the way of his two previous presidential bids, meaning nowhere. He was dull as dishwater compared to many of the others vying for the nomination, and nobody had ever really considered him presidential timber. As the campaign took off, other candidates were winning in the early states even as Biden still led in national polls.
An abandoned outlet mall could soon be a new 29-acre “cannabis super center” in the middle of California’s Mojave Desert. The Barstow City Council voted 3-1 to approve the project at a contentious Dec. 21 meeting that lasted nearly five hours. The development needs to earn a second council vote next month before it is fully approved. The new development sits along one of California’s busiest traffic corridors, located about halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. A cannabis real estate firm was marketing the “cannabis super center” as “the most unique green zone property in the entire country” earlier
DENVER – The City of Denver has spent more than $1.5 million on all aspects of sheltering arriving migrants since the first week of December and is on track to spend $3 million by the end of the month, according to city leaders. “This has been extremely taxing on city resources. We are not a border community. We don't have federal resources like border communities do. So, the help that we can provide in Denver is very limited. And we're at the point where we're not able to sustain much longer. We're at our breaking point,” said Mikayla Ortega, Denver
It's good to be Joe Biden: Vacation edition

Holy schamoly, have we ever had a president as disengaged as this…well, “guy” is the kindest thing I can call Joe Biden. It is a point of fact that Regular Joe has spent dang near 40% of his time since assuming the presidency on vacation. As in out of the White House, gone vacation. His favorite spot to skulk out to for weekends – which unlike yours or mine often start on a Thursday – is to head back to his home state of Delaware and the little family cottage by the shore. Naturally, you wouldn’t expect him to spend

As Buffalo begins to dig itself out from its deadliest disaster in a decade, the plights of people stuck for days in frigid homes without much food, their streets still unplowed, have reignited deep economic and racial fault lines that have long polarized the city. (Snip) As the toll on the city has become clearer, a dozen residents and community leaders said in interviews that structural issues such as poverty, food deserts, poor housing and a lack of investment by government have made the impacts on working-class, Black and Brown neighborhoods much worse. They expressed concerns that surrounding wealthier and
ROCK SPRINGS — Michele Irwin’s first tactic was to wax poetic about the holiday pie kit she was auctioning to raise cash for what’s left of the Sweetwater County Democratic Party. (Snip) There’s essentially nothing left of the Democrats in southwest Wyoming. In the 2020 election, two of the minority party’s incumbents were voted out: 14-year-veteran lawmaker Rep. Stan Blake, D-Green River, and Sen. Liisa Anselmi-Dalton, D-Rock Springs. This year’s election took care of what was left. First-term lawmaker Rep. Chad Banks, D-Rock Springs, whose day job is to lead renewal of the Rock Springs downtown area, was clobbered by
PORTLAND, Ore. — Policymakers for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality on Monday approved a rule that prohibits the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger vehicles in Oregon by 2035. The effort comes as Oregon plans to cut climate-warming emissions by 50% by 2035 and by 90% by 2050, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. The transportation sector accounts for nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in Oregon. (Snip) The new rule also requires manufacturers to increase access to affordable zero-emission vehicles to low-income households and communities of color. It offers incentives to manufacturers to sell electric cars to community car share programs, to
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico/WASHINGTON - When Vladimir Castellanos learned that COVID-19 restrictions blocking him and other migrants from claiming asylum at the U.S. border with Mexico may not be terminated this week, he said he felt deceived. Castellanos and his brother are Venezuelans, and they were among dozens of migrants gathered on both sides of the Rio Grande on Monday night in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas, with some lighting small fires to keep warm as temperatures dropped toward freezing. They had traveled there in anticipation that the COVID-19 restrictions, known as Title 42, would be lifted on Wednesday

There is an endless list of factors students consider while choosing a college: size, cost, campus life, proximity to home. But since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June — removing nearly 50 years of federal protections for abortions and giving states the right to make the procedure illegal within their jurisdictions — abortion access has become an increasingly influential consideration in students’ college decisions. Of those planning to enroll in an undergraduate program sometime in the next 12 months, 39% said that the court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will affect their decision to attend

York City in droves after Title 42 expires

NEW YORK -- There are new fears that New York City could be hit with a surge of migrants. This week, Title 42, a policy that has kept many asylum seekers from entering the country, is set to expire. Mayor Eric Adams is warning that there could be upwards of 1,000 migrants bused into the city each and every week, if the policy is allowed to expire. It's not clear how he arrived at that number, but it is clear that there is concern the system could be overwhelmed. The U.S.-Mexico border has been packed with migrants desperate to get in.

Trump’s Tax Returns Resulting in One

The corrupt Democrats in the House just destroyed President Trump’s right to privacy and released President Trump’s tax returns moments ago. Unfortunately, they failed again in their goal and only proved their contempt for the US Constitution.
What a disgusting pack of jackals the Pelosi gang is. They have no regard for the law, the US Constitution, or decency.
Moments ago the Dems released President Trump’s taxes to their media.
CNN, the Democrats’ favorite news source, shared the news:
Why do they do it? Who needs to lie like this? I am thinking, of course, of Representative elect George Santos. But also of the whole lot of them. Of politicians as a species. Why do they feel the need to make stuff up?
It must be admitted that Santos is emerging as the undisputed top of his class of fibsters. To date he claims to have attended a prestigious Bronx prep school which has no record of him ever being there. He claims to have graduated from Baruch College, despite never having enrolled there. He claims to have worked for Citigroup and Goldman Sachs but never did.
Starting Jan. 1, many Americans will qualify for a tax credit of up to $7,500 for buying an electric vehicle. The credit, part of changes enacted in the Inflation Reduction Act, is designed to spur EV sales and reduce greenhouse emissions.
But a complex web of requirements, including where vehicles and batteries must be manufactured to qualify, is casting doubt on whether anyone can receive the full $7,500 credit next year.
For at least the first two months of 2023, though, a delay in the Treasury Department’s rules for the new benefit will likely make the full credit temporarily available to consumers who meet certain income and price limits.
A federal judge seated in Montana, The Honorable Donald W. Molloy, recently ruled that “public safety” trumps individual autonomy over what gets injected into your body.
Via PBS:
A person’s choice to decline vaccinations does not outweigh public health and safety requirements in medical settings, a federal judge ruled in a Montana case.
U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy last week permanently blocked a section of law the state said was meant to prevent employers — including many health care facilities — from discriminating against workers by requiring them to be vaccinated against communicable diseases, including COVID-19.
“The public interest in protecting the general populace against vaccine-preventable diseases in health care settings

This is either a bizarre coincidence or evidence that a Narrative™ decree has gone out.
(No, I don’t think there are actual decrees…mostly).
Yesterday I wrote a piece about Scientific American’s rather odd republishing through tweet of an article originally published in 2020. In it, the author argued that the medical establishment and our society as a whole stigmatizes obesity because Black women are the most obese demographic in America. People can be “healthy at any size,” and focusing on obesity as a health problem is racist.
Now one day later Time Magazine is promoting an article that argues that exercise has White supremacist roots.

Tolerance is a good thing in most aspects of life. But when it comes to the immune system, artificially juicing up the body to create antibodies with long-term tolerance to a pathogen is a recipe for disaster. Amid thousands of papers on COVID and the vaccines, a new German paper published in Science Immunology should be the headline story this week. Although the subject matter is very dense, the implication of it is that the Pfizer shots (and possibly other mRNA spike protein shots) caused the immune system to misfire, thereby creating an endless feedback loop of viral immune escape, perpetuating the pandemic in the macro,
A conservative commentator has warned electric vehicle drivers in Los Angeles that charging stations for their $60,000 cars are littered with homeless encampments.
Alexandra Datig shared a video of her driving in downtown LA on Wednesday, with one of the local Blink EV charging stations surrounded by trash and tents.
'When you live in Los Angeles, it's better to have a charging station at home for that $60,000 EV,' Datig wrote on Twitter.
'The closer you get to downtown, the charging stations have homeless 'attendants' who live on the same sidewalk as the stations.'
The House Ways and Means Committee released a partially redacted version of former President Trump's tax returns Friday, completing a longtime objective of Democrats to make Trump's finances public after the former president unsuccessfully tried to stop them in court.
The financial documents cover six years of Trump's individual returns filed jointly with his wife, Melania, including his time in the White House. The document dump also includes tax forms for several of Trump's business entities that were investigated by Ways and Means Democrats, a report from the Democratic majority, and a response by Republicans on the committee.

In another Lucy and Charlie Brown football scenario, the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act that they claimed would help Americans and not raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year could reportedly cost taxpayers in excess of $20 billion in new taxes.
President Biden made a production out of signing the act in August which allegedly introduced $473 billion in new spending wasted on climate and healthcare. But any illusion that it would reduce inflation is about to be blown away.
Middle America will indeed pay new taxes regardless of what Biden and the Democrats claimed to sell them.
Republicans warned that the bill would raise taxes on Americans
The two agencies’ responses to the curious case of their former person of interest, identified in photo No 16 in an FBI list of people whom the feds wanted to identify, provided more fodder for speculation after the select committee investigating the January 6 riot outright denied he was a federal agent or informant.
“Mr. Epps informed us that he was not employed by, working with, or acting at the direction of any law enforcement agency on January 5th or 6th or at any other time, and that he has never been an informant for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency,” a select committee spokesperson said.
