FMJRA 2.0: Toward Compliant Towers

I’ve been a fan of the British electronic musician yclept Conelrad for some time, and for a while I was downloading his Conelcast podcasts on the regular. I can’t say I was too surprised that he’s taking a break from Conelcast, but as you can see from the link to his Patreon, he’s throwing a sizable bone to his fans and holding out hope for something bigger and better in he future.

In other news, the draft in Da Tech Guy’s 1971 league is next Saturday, and fortunately for me I’ll be in the Washington area. Among other things, this means I won’t have to get up at the hideous hour of 0800 to slam coffee and draft in a semi-catatonic state, but it also means several months of Ted Williams and Washington Senators memes incoming as you get to suffer through the 1971 season with me. Here’s hoping this season will be better.

Crazy People Are Dangerous

Posted on | May 13, 2023 | Comments Off on Crazy People Are Dangerous

Chicago schizophrenic Denise Solorzano

How many times must I repeat myself?

A Cook County judge set bail at $800,000 for a Jefferson Park woman who’s accused of randomly attacking women, sometimes with a baseball bat, this week. Judge Maryam Ahmad said she viewed Denise Solorzano’s bail amount as “$100,000 for each victim… to protect women and children in the community.”
Solorzano must post 10% of the bail amount to get out of jail on electronic monitoring while her case is pending.
The attacks began around 3 p.m. Sunday when Solorzano pulled up next to a 33-year-old woman in the 4200 block of North Richmond and began yelling at her about “beating her ass,” said Assistant State’s Attorney Sarah Dale-Schmidt during Solorzano’s bail hearing.
Solorzano allegedly got out of the car and punched the woman several times in the head and face until the woman fell to the ground. She grabbed the woman by her hair and dragged her down the street, but she fled when a witness intervened, Dale-Schmidt said. The victim suffered swelling, bruises, and cuts.
Solorzano approached a 19-year-old woman in the 4000 block of West Lawrence about an hour later.
“What would you do if I punched you in the face?” she allegedly asked the woman before grabbing her by the hair, slugging her in the head and face three times, and pushing her to the ground.
Solorzano stood over the woman and punched her a few more times until a witness tried to stop her, Dale-Schmidt said. Solorzano allegedly pulled the witness by her hair, tearing out a chunk as she fell to the ground. Dale-Schmidt said the woman covered her face as Solorzano tried to punch her in the face and slam her head into the sidewalk.
Chicago police officers arrived as the attack was underway. They briefly chased Solorzano’s car but terminated their efforts after she ran a stop sign, Dale-Schmidt said.
The attacks resumed on Tuesday. This time, Dale-Schmidt said, Solorzano brought a baseball bat.
“What would you do if I beat you with this bat?” Solorzano allegedly asked a woman standing with her sister and a 6-month-old baby in a stroller on the 4500 block of North Mozart around 11:27 a.m.
She stepped out of the car and attacked both women, hitting them in their hands and arms as they tried to protect themselves, according to Dale-Schmidt. A neighbor recorded part of the attack on video. Those victims, ages 27 and 31, experienced bruising and swelling.
While police were talking with the victims, a 34-year-old woman reported that a white sedan lurched toward her as she crossed the street with her dog near the 3000 block of West Cullom. A short time later, she passed Solorzano, who was standing on the sidewalk with a bat.
“What would happen if I bashed you with this bat?” Solorzano allegedly asked. She struck the woman on the back, shoulder, and arms as she tried to get past her, Dale-Schmidt said. Solorzano fled in her car when a witness approached.
Police soon learned of another attack in the 3000 block of West Belle Plaine.
A woman claimed that a white car almost hit her as she crossed an intersection before the driver lurched and reversed toward her about four times, forcing her to jump out of the way. Solorzano yelled about the woman’s ethnicity as the victim ran to another woman who was walking a dog nearby, Dale-Schmidt said.
Solorzano pulled her car into a nearby alley and threatened the women with her bat, striking one on the arm and head, according to the allegations. Both women ran away but noticed a pink bumper sticker shaped like a crown on the back of Solorzano’s car.
Chicago police later traced the car’s license plate to Solorzano’s parents and found it parked in front of the family’s home on the 4900 block of West Lawrence with a pink, crown-shaped bumper sticker.

The deranged attacker has “struggled with mental illness”:

Through tears after the hearing, Solorzano’s mother said that her daughter was diagnosed with schizophrenia several years ago and has struggled to get medication to treat her condition and take it consistently.
When she would take her daughter to a hospital for treatment, “they just kept releasing her,” Solorzano’s mother said.
Solorzano’s arrest report indicated she told Chicago police she has also been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which prosecutors said her family had confirmed.
The assistant public defender said Solorzano lives with her mother and had attended some college classes, but was not employed due to “some significant mental health issues she’s dealing with.”

Now she can sit her ass in jail and, while I don’t think the quality of psychiatric care in the Cook County correctional system is ideal, at least she won’t be attacking random strangers with baseball bats.

In Terms of ‘Owning the Libs,’ Nobody Else Even Compares to Donald Trump

Posted on | May 12, 2023 | Comments Off on In Terms of ‘Owning the Libs,’ Nobody Else Even Compares to Donald Trump

Forgive me for not watching Wednesday night’s CNN town hall with Donald Trump, but he’s a known quantity — what could be learned from such an exercise? Exactly why CNN decided to give Trump this fat slice of prime-time programming, I can’t say. Even with Fox News melting down in the ratings after Tucker Carlson’s exit, CNN remains mired in the ratings basement, so anything that could make them seem relevant and newsworthy is an improvement, I suppose. At any rate, we’re now reaping the benefits of CNN’s decision, as all the Trump-haters in the media are completely losing their minds:

CNN leadership under fire
after ‘disastrous’ Trump town hall
— Washington Post

CNN’s Trump town hall was a fascist ritual
— Noah Berlatsky

Trump’s team revels in town hall victory
as CNN staff rages at ‘spectacle of lies’
— The Guardian

CNN Went Full Jerry Springer
— Tom Nichols

CNN ripped for leaving Kaitlan Collins
helpless against Trump’s lies
— New York Post

CNN Employees Are Not Happy
With The Network’s Trump Town Hall
— HuffPost

This is excellent, in terms of “owning the libs,” and I’m perfectly willing to take pleasure in their misery, without worrying about what it may portend for 2024. In this weird era, the key to happiness is finding your zen space by enjoying such moments without any thought for the future.

Learn to be a groovy hippy: Live in the now, man.

Anything that makes Tom Nichols and Noah Berlatsky angry is, objectively, a good thing. When CNN is accused of staging a “fascist ritual”? Life doesn’t get any better than that. And why ruin such a peak experience by fretting over the contingencies of the next presidential election? Whatever happens in the future, it’s unlikely to be affected by your getting wrapped up in a ball of anxiety about it, so don’t sweat it.

Make America Hakuna Matata Again.

Violence Against Women Update

Posted on | May 10, 2023 | Comments Off on Violence Against Women Update

Anastasia Gilley (left); Marquis McCloud (right)

Jackson County, Florida, is one of those out-of-the-way places most people don’t think about when they think about the Sunshine State. It’s a mostly rural county that sits up against the Alabama state line, south of Dothan, and the only reason most people ever go there is to pass through on the way to Panama City Beach. Now it’s in the news:

Jackson County is reeling from tragedy after investigators found the body of a 19-year-old pregnant woman who had been missing for a week and arrested a man in connection with her murder.
Anastasia Gilley, who was four months pregnant, had last been seen at her home on May 3, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. Her disappearance touched off “around the clock” efforts to find her by JCSO and the Houston County Sheriff’s Office in South Alabama.
“The investigation quickly led to the arrest of an Alabama man, who has been in custody since earlier this week,” JCSO said in a news release. “The suspect has been uncooperative throughout this entire investigation.”
Marquis Devan McCloud, 33, was arrested on a charge of capital murder during a first-degree kidnapping, authorities said. More charges are pending.
Following leads from interviews and other “investigative techniques,” law enforcement searched various locations in Jackson and Houston counties. Early Wednesday, investigators found a deceased victim near Headland, Alabama, a small town outside Dothan, Alabama.
“Investigators believe this to be the body of Anastasia Gilley, pending an autopsy,” JCSO said in the news release.

The New York Post refers to McCloud as Gilley’s “boyfriend,” but police haven’t actually said anything about such a relationship:

Cops said McCloud — whose violent rap sheet includes a rape conviction — had already been in custody for several days but was uncooperative during the frantic search for his alleged victim.
The Alabama man was being held on a probation violation before investigators hit him with the new raps after finding Gilley’s body. . . .
In addition to the rape cases, McCloud’s criminal history includes terror threats, robbery, battery and violation of sex offender laws. . . .
Detectives zeroed in on McCloud after discovering that he had corresponded with Gilley prior to her disappearance.

Don’t expect to see this case on CNN, nor should you expect that feminists — who love to denounce “violence against women” — will mention this case as an example, for some reason.

Biden Family Got $10 Million From Foreigners Through ‘Web’ of LLCs

Posted on | May 10, 2023 | Comments Off on Biden Family Got $10 Million From Foreigners Through ‘Web’ of LLCs

James Comer drops the bomb on Biden Inc.:

The Biden family and its business associates created a complicated web of more than 20 companies, according to bank records obtained by the House Oversight Committee — a system GOP lawmakers say was meant to conceal money received from foreign nationals.
Sixteen of the companies were limited liability companies formed during Joe Biden’s tenure as vice president, the committee said in a press conference on Wednesday. The Biden family, their business associates, and their companies received more than $10 million from foreign nationals’ and their related companies, the records show. These payments occurred both while Biden was in office as vice president and after his time in office ended.
In what Representative Nancy Mace called an act of “financial gymnastics,” many payments were routed from foreign companies to the Biden family’s business associates’ companies which then doled out payments to the Bidens in incremental payments to different bank accounts in an alleged attempt to hide the source of the funds.
At least nine Biden family members received payments, according to committee chairman James Comer. That includes Hunter Biden; James Biden; James Biden’s wife, Sara Jones Biden; the late Beau Biden’s wife, Hallie Biden; Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle; Hunter Biden’s wife, Melissa Cohen; and “three children of the president’s son and the president’s brother.”
Much of the money came from Chinese nationals and companies with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Multiple Biden family members received money after it passed through an associate’s account. Comer said of the countries the Biden family was influence peddling in, China is “the most reputable.”
The committee revealed Wednesday that records suggest the Biden family and its associates’ business dealings in Romania “bear clear indication of a scheme to peddle influence” from 2015 to 2017.
At the time, then-Vice President Biden spoke out against Romanian corruption while the Biden family received more than a million dollars from a company controlled by a Romanian national, Gabriel Popoviciu. Popoviciu, who has been accused of corruption, sent the money through a Biden family associate, according to the committee. Sixteen of the seventeen payments involved in the deal occurred while Biden was still in office. The money “stops flowing from the Romanian national soon after Joe Biden leaves the vice presidency,” Comer said.
The Bidens also received “millions of dollars from China,” with Comer saying it is “inconceivable that the president did not know” about the payments.

Read the whole thing. Of course, there’s nothing about this on CNN, which is too busy going on about George Santos to bother noticing this $10 million Biden scandal. Meanwhile, at NBC News:

House Republicans escalate
attacks on Biden family,
alleging business with foreign nationals

See, that’s the story: Republicans are engaged in “attacks,” and all this clearly documented evidence of shady foreign payoffs to the Bidens? That is merely what Republicans are “alleging.”
