Stacy Keach had range. He played outlaw Frank James in the Western The Long Riders, the bumbling Sgt. Stedenko in the Cheech and Chong stoner comedy Up in Smoke, and Hamlet on stage multiple times. He narrated numerous documentaries for National Geographic and PBS. Keach died on Tuesday at his family's home in Poland "after a long and difficult battle with a serious heart condition and heart failure," his wife Malgosia Keach shared in a statement through a representative. He was 85.


NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) signed a landmark bill banning predatory investors from buying distressed NYC residential buildings. The Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) is intended to keep housing out of the hands of predatory investors. Nonprofit owners are more likely to keep housing affordable and take care of tenants. The bill is part of a nationwide response to high housing costs, with cities and states trying to assert more control over corporate landlords and the housing market. Last year, good-for-nothing NYC Mayor Eric Adams vetoed a version of it. In Nov 2021, NYS Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani went on a hunger strike in solidarity with taxi drivers while NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) was stuffing his face with calzones and fending off charges of sexual harassment and lying about COVID deaths in NYS. This past April, His Honor declined a personal meeting with King Charles III, but happily rode the subway with the Irish PM during UNGA.

    For Veteran's Day, hatemonger Bill Donohue vomited this vile screed: "It is not exactly breaking news to say that left-wing activists, pundits and intellectuals hate veterans. But it is something else again to read how radical elected officials and organizations react to Veterans Day. I asked the imbeciles on my staff to put together a summary of some of the more prominent haters." This white supremacist Catholic, who probably calls Jews "the Christ killers" behind their backs, slimed the "usual suspects," as well as new ones, particularly the DSA.

  • Registered Democrats made up the majority of GIs serving in WWII.
  • Devout communist Dashiell Hammett served in both WWI and WWII, while heavyweight boxer Jack Dempsey became a draft dodger during WWI. He then went on to become world champion, as well as a fabulously wealthy man. After WWII, double veteran Dashiell Hammett would be imprisoned for not coughing up the names of his friends to the notorious HUAC.

    Donald Trump Jr. claimed comedian Russell Brand was convicted of rape and sentenced to more than a decade in prison because of his religious conversion and embrace of conservative political views, according to a video posted to Rumble on Tuesday. Speaking after Brand's sentencing at Southwark Crown Court for rape and sexual assault, the 48-year-old son of President Donald Trump argued that the prosecution was politically motivated. "He finds God, I guess, changes his ways, sees some aspects of conservative life, and talks about them, and now he's going to spend 10 and a half years in prison for rape when no one had a problem with it in the prior 27 years," Trump Jr. said.


    President Donald Trump's war victory claims drew jeers after one of his top officials quietly went into hiding. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has left his Washington-area home for a military base after Iran threatened his life, The New York Times reported, citing three people familiar with the matter. Bessent has spearheaded the administration's effort to strangle Tehran's finances since August, a role the Times' sources said put him high on Iran's target list. He's the latest in a string of senior Trump officials, including White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, to trade a private home for a military base or other guarded housing.


    The American taxpayer-funded Israeli Death Forces (IDF) liquidated seven more Palestinians in Gaza, including Fadi Rajab and his son Abubakr (13) in an airstrike against a defenseless displacement shelter. The IDF then murdered four more Palestinians, bringing Tuesday's subtotal to seven. Since 7 Oct 2023, the heartless IDF have now exterminated a minimum 74,645 human beings in Gaza; 21,976 children; 12,500 women. This is Day 1,131 of the Nakba, so the IDF murdered a daily average 66 Palestinians. The diabolical IDF has butchered more Muslims in Gaza between 7 Oct 2023 and 10 Nov 2026 than Bosnian Serb paramilitary thugs from 1992-1995: ~33,000 Bosniaks. But while Bosnian Serb war criminals were convicted and incarcerated at the Hague for their war crimes, no Israeli has yet been prosecuted for their inhumanity. The ICC indicted fugitives Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant and their arrest warrants remain active. "FUNNY"

    Bloomberg reported at least 11 deaths by suicide in the year through September as military commanders have since tightened shift rules for cyber staff and expanded access to mental health care.


    "Argh! The Democratic Socialists of America's (DSA) communist cancer is growing, as their 86 wins nationwide last Tuesday showed! Blargh! But there's a problem " not a single one is eligible to serve in Congress, because the DSA platform explicitly states DSA candidates' intention to abolish the Constitution! So thankfully, Congress has a legitimate way to prevent these nation destroyers from taking federal office! Pflargh! And please send me money to fight these Marxist Mohammedans! Argh!"

  • Marry, why is Mat Staver's panty hose all up in a bundle? These DSA folks will get no committee assignments and be relegated to the corner as "those guys." So, why all his tarassis? Doesn't Mat Staver know how the US Congress, state legislatures, or the USG works?

    A new Republican group thinks their party is too old, too moderate and too weak. So they're launching an effort to replace the outgoing generation of politicians with a younger crop of America First-aligned lawmakers.


    The "great replacement" described by Renaud Camus is a reality that Jean-Luc Mlenchon, the leader of France Unbowed, acknowledges" indeed welcomes "by suggesting that a "new" Muslim France is taking shape. American and Israeli flags are burned and trampled. Palestinian flags are seen everywhere. They have become a symbol of a destructive and murderous intent not only toward Israel and Jews " with Jewish-owned businesses specifically targeted " but also of support for violence against French authorities and a rejection of Western civilization.

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showed up at a hospital in Los Angeles on Saturday and blocked off the ambulance entrance.

    KABC-TV, a Los Angeles TV station, reports that ICE showed up at about midnight at Adventist Health White Memorial Medical Center with a person in custody who needed medical treatment in the emergency room. A hospital spokesperson said federal agents blocked the entrance to the ER for two hours.

    Protesters soon showed up to object to the presence of ICE agents at the hospital, and one of the demonstrators, a teenage girl, was reportedly pepper sprayed by agents and needed medical attention.


    The login systems behind two car brands' mobile apps could be taken over completely, two security researchers found, allowing them to access any customer's account and, for an owner with a connected car, unlock the doors and start the engine.


    NTSB investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Learjet 60 that crashed on Nov. 1 near Greenacres, killing all nine aboard. The CVR was located at the site of initial impact and is being evaluated in the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C. Officials confirmed that excavation work at the impact site on Military Trail has been completed.


    Vastly underqualified Marco Rubio (R), vetted by mega-oligarch Larry Ellison to be a place-holder USSECSTATE, apparently sabotaged his own chances of being a 2028 GOP POTUS candidate by bleating to a Mar-a-Lago mob that Dummkopf Trumpf launched the idiotic Iran war "for you." Wrote a Republican opinion maker: "Rubio just destroyed his 2028 presidential hopes by essentially echoing Trumpf's statement that the destruction of the GOP was worth it to fight the Iran War and these jokers applauded him. Trumpf, Rubio, and Pete Hegseth should resign in disgrace or be impeached and removed from office."
