Hey, Who Had ‘Illegal Immigrant Colombian Transgender Pedophile Rapist’ on Their 2025 Headline Bingo Card?

Posted on | July 26, 2025 | Comments Off on Hey, Who Had ‘Illegal Immigrant Colombian Transgender Pedophile Rapist’ on Their 2025 Headline Bingo Card?

Congratulations, you’re a winner:

A transgender migrant appeared in court [Thursday] after being arrested for raping a 14-year-old boy in a park bathroom.
Nicol Suarez, 30, allegedly followed the boy into a bathroom at Thomas Jefferson Park in East Harlem back in February at around midday, police told the Daily Mail.
The boy reportedly left the bathroom and flagged down people nearby, who called the police. The migrant was then charged with first-degree rape and stalking.
Suarez wore head-to-toe beige prison garb and a full face of makeup as she stuck her nose up at her court appearance on Thursday.
She scowled as officers led her into the courtroom, her expression even more pronounced due to her heavy contour, penned eyebrows and bright pink lip.
As she sat down for the court proceedings, Suarez’s neck tattoo peaked out from underneath her beige crewneck.
She had spent the entire day waiting in Department of Corrections custody after the building was put on lockdown due to unknown reasons.
Suarez required an interpreter to understand the proceedings as the two sides went back and forth over the status of her case, a court attendee reported.
Her lawyer asked for more time to file her motions, but Judge Michele Rodney declined the request.
After 10 minutes of deliberation, the Judge set a date for a pre-trial hearing in mid-September and Suarez was escorted back to the holding cells.
The accused rapist is being housed at Rikers Island, a large jail complex in New York City, located on a 413-acre island between the Bronx and Queens in the East River.
Originally from Colombia, Suarez was also wanted in New Jersey and Massachusetts and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement had a detainer on her.
After her alleged crime in February, a source told the New York Post that they blamed New York City’s sanctuary laws for the attack and said: ‘ICE could just pick this person up and deport them back, but due to our sanctuary laws we can’t do anything.’
‘I feel really bad for the kid that has to go through this because his life will never be the same,’ the source added.
‘We worry about the migrants but what about the victim? This is a true victim.’ . . .
Prosecutors initially asked for $500,000 bail and a $1.5 million bond, but the amount was lowered by Democratic Judge Elizabeth Shamahs.

Excuse my flippant sarcasm, but sometimes the news is so grim that we must choose between two reactions: (a) laugh at it and try to maintain our sanity, or (b) take it seriously and end up in a sort of catatonic madness like Kurtz in Heart of Darkness: “The horror! The horror!”

Return of the Pro Se Pipsqueak: Disney and Hulu Get Sued by Brett Kimberlin!

Posted on | July 25, 2025 | Comments Off on Return of the Pro Se Pipsqueak: Disney and Hulu Get Sued by Brett Kimberlin!

In 1978, four teenagers who worked at a Burger Chef fast-food restaurant in the Indianapolis suburb of Speedway, Indiana, were kidnapped and murdered. The local police badly bungled the investigation, and no one was ever convicted for what was at the time a very notorious local crime. The popularity of “true crime” podcasts has renewed attention to this case, and last year a documentary film, The Speedway Murders, was released. It’s now streaming on Hulu and — because it mentions a certain convicted bomber — it has become the target of a lawsuit.

[ snip ]

[ snip ]

In reporting that Brett Kimberlin’s lawsuit has been removed to federal court from its original Maryland venue, Eugene Volokh says, “The allegations are complex, and I don’t have the time to summarize them. I’m flagging the case chiefly because some of our longtime readers might be interested in Brett Kimberlin from his various appearances on the blog, chiefly stemming from brushes with early bloggers.”

Yes, we all remember that. One of the things you must remember is that I’ve been a journalist since 1986, and spent decades with a copy of the AP Stylebook and Libel Manual on my desk. The secret to avoiding libel is simple: (a) stick to the facts and (b) always attribute accusations. It is not me, the reporter, who is accusing the suspect of a crime; rather, I am merely reporting what “police say” the suspect has done.

“Sue Me Again, You Evil Liar” was the headline on my post reporting how Brett Kimberlin’s defamation lawsuit against me, Aaron Walker, John Hoge and Ali Akbar was laughed out of court by a Maryland judge in 2014. Among the sources I cited in my blogging about Kimberlin was Mark Singer’s definitive book Citizen K, as well as contemporary reporting by Joe Gelarden in the Indianapolis Star.

Brett Kimberlin’s convictions as the Speedway Bomber are a matter of public record. The pro se pipsqueak recently tried to have his convictions overturned, but lost at every step of the way, getting brutally curb-stomped by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which declared flatly, “Kimberlin’s arguments . . . are meritless.” Undeterred, Kimberlin appealed to the Supreme Court and, when they denied certiorari for the case Kimberlin v. United States in January 2023, I wrote:

Because you can’t argue pro se before the Supreme Court, the pipsqueak perjurer enlisted the legal assistance of well-connected Democrat lawyer Neal Katyal’s firm, but Kimberlin’s case was so preposterously weak that not even a big-dollar law firm could salvage it. So, if you’re keeping score at home, the final tally:

United States ………… 1
Brett Kimberlin …….. 0

Despite all that, however, I cannot presume to know whether the producers of The Speedway Murders might have somehow defamed Kimberlin. As I’ve explained, my reliance on such sources as Singer’s book and Gelarden’s reporting protected me against any finding of libel — it was not me making these accusations, see? I never claimed to have any more knowledge about what happened in Indiana circa 1978 than had previously been reported by others, or established as matters of fact in legal proceedings. Possibly, the makers of this documentary movie about the Burger Chef murders were not as careful about such things, and defeating Kimberlin’s litigation might not be such a slam-dunk for them as it was for me and my co-defendants. However . . .

If Kimberlin is contesting whether he was suspected of involvement in the murder of Julia Scyphers — making the filmmaker’s reference to that suspicion the basis of his defamation claim — he is likely to fail once again. Although the Scyphers murder has never been officially solved, certain facts about the case have been previously reported:

While no motive [for the 1978 bombings] was established at trial, prosecutors and police believe Kimberlin went on the bombing spree to deflect attention away from an ongoing investigation of the murder of 65-year-old Julia Scyphers. Scyphers “violently disapproved” of her daughter Sandra Barton’s relationship with Kimberlin as well as the “strange affection” Kimberlin paid to Barton’s pre-teen daughter, who had accompanied Kimberlin on several long unsupervised out-of-state trips. On July 29, 1978, Scyphers was shot to death just outside her home. Her husband Fred Scyphers, who briefly saw the shooter, identified William Bowman as the gunman. Bowman was a close associate of Kimberlin in the drug trade but Fred, the prosecution’s only witness, died shortly after the murder and Bowman was never charged. Scyphers’ murder still remains unsolved.

So said Wikipedia last time I checked.

Joe Gelarden referred to Barton’s daughter (Julia Scypher’s granddaughter) as “Debbie,” but when it came time for Singer to publish his 1996 book about Kimberlin, he used the pseudonym “Jessica.”

“For three consecutive summers, 1974 through 1976, they took vacations of a week or longer in Disney World, Mexico, and Hawaii. Sandi couldn’t get time off from work, so on these summer trips it was just the two of them — Brett and Jessica.
“Eyebrows levitated. A drug-dealing colleague had memories of conversations with Kimberlin that struck him as odd: ‘We’d see a girl, who was pubescent or prepubescent, and Brett would get this smile and say, “Hey, what do you think? Isn’t she great?” It made me very uncomfortable.’ Another recalled Kimberlin introducing Jessica as ‘my girlfriend,’ and if irony was intended, it was too subtle to register. To a coworker . . . Sandi confided that Kimberlin was ‘grooming Jessica to be his wife.’ To another, Sandi explained that although Kimberlin’s relationship with Jessica was chaste, he intended ‘to wait for her and would marry her.’”

Mark Singer, Citizen K: The Deeply Weird American Journey of Brett Kimberlin, Page 78

“Debbie”/“Jessica” was only 10 years old in 1974, and thus would have been 14 when her grandmother was murdered in 1978.

Obviously, suspicion is not synonymous with proof, but one does not commit libel merely by expressing suspicion, especially when that same suspicion was shared by law enforcement officials. Which is to say, if you add 1 + 1 and decide the answer is 2, your arithmetic is not a tort.

Just for the record, by the way, I am informed by people who have looked into the Burger Chef murders that Kimberlin almost certainly was not involved with that particular crime which was likely committed by someone personally connected to one of those teenage victims.

We shall see what becomes of Kimberlin’s latest lawsuit, but I wish the attorneys for the defendants in the Kimberlin v. Hulu case would get in touch with me. I could offer them some excellent advice — for a price.

Hunter Biden’s Lack of Impulse Control

Posted on | July 22, 2025 | Comments Off on Hunter Biden’s Lack of Impulse Control

Hunter Biden chose an interesting venue for his uncensored rant. Andrew Callaghan is a 28-year-old YouTuber with a shady past, having been accused of sexual misconduct by numerous women. Well, thank God there was no YouTube back when I was a young man, so let’s not discuss the relative shadiness of my own past, eh? Bert the Samoan Lawyer assures me the statute of limitations has expired, but I nevertheless will maintain my right to remain silent.

The Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter was full of clips Monday from the Hunter Biden interview, and you can watch the whole three-hour episode on YouTube, if you’d like. While the specific content of what Hunter said is of less interest to me than his pathological mental state, let’s just grab a chunk of his newsworthy remarks:

Hunter Biden went on a profanity-ridden rant against Democrats who lent credence to Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s Original Sin, the exposé on former President Joe Biden’s mental decline, in a very bizarre, three-hour interview with a YouTuber.
The former first son, who has not given a sit-down media interview in years, told popular “Channel 5” video journalist Andrew Callaghan that the book revealing the White House’s cover-up of his father’s cognitive issues was “a money grab,” and attacked George Clooney, James Carville, David Plouffe, and others. . . .
“Fuck him!” Hunter exclaimed to Callaghan about Clooney. “Fuck him and everybody around him. I don’t have to be fucking nice. Number one, I agree with Quentin Tarantino. Fucking George Clooney is not a fucking actor. He is fucking like… I don’t know what he is. He’s a brand. . . . Fuck you. What do you have to do with fucking anything? Why do I have to fucking listen to you? What right do you have to step on a man who’s given 52 years of his fucking life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full page ad in the fucking New York Times to undermine the president at a time in which, by the way, what do people care about the most? Why do you think that the Republicans have an advantage over us? Because they’re unified.” . .
“James Carville, who hasn’t won a race in 40 fucking years, and David Axelrod, who had one success in his political life — and that was because of Barack Obama, not because of David Axelrod,” Hunter huffed. 
Plouffe, another Democrat adviser who was a White House aide to Obama, told Tapper and Thompson that the party’s 2024 loss was “all Biden.”
“He totally fucked us,” he told the Original Sin co-authors.
Hunter went on to name him and other former Obama aides who host the Pod Save America podcast who called on Biden to drop out of the race before he eventually did.
“David Plouffe and all of these guys, and the ‘Pod Save America’ guys who were junior fucking speech writers on Barack Obama’s Senate staff who have been dining out on the relationship with him for years making millions of dollars,” the former first son continued.
“The Anita Dunns of the world, who has made $40-$50 million off of the Democratic Party,” Hunter added, referring to the former president’s ex-senior adviser who called the presidential pardon he issued for his son’s criminal actions “an attack on our judicial system.”
“They’re all gonna insert their judgment over a man who has figured out, unlike anybody else, how to get elected to the United States Senate over seven times, how to pass more legislation than any president in history, how to have a better midterm election than anybody in history, and had to garner more votes than any president that has ever won,” the younger Biden told Callaghan. “And they’re going to replace their judgment for his.”

One of the aspects of addiction that most people don’t understand is how heavy long-term substance abuse has a cumulative effect in terms of brain damage. In particular, the damage impacts the frontal cortex, impairing the function of conscience and impulse control. When you see Hunter Biden dropping f-bombs in such profusion — I count 11 of them in a span of 128 words — that’s symptomatic of brain damage.

Not long ago, as is my YouTube habit, I was watching a police chase and, after the suspect got rammed off the road by an Arkansas state trooper’s PIT maneuver, I was surprised to see that the suspect was a white guy, because nine times out of 10 in these Arkansas chases, the suspect is some criminal ghetto trash from Memphis trying to get back across the river. But this suspect was white and as it turned out, of course, was cranked up on crystal meth. What does it tell you about the long-term effects of drug addiction that the behavior of a white meth-head is indistinguishable from the behavior of Memphis ghetto trash?

So it is with Joe Biden’s degenerate spawn. If his last name weren’t “Biden,” that boy would’ve been doing time in prison by now, and I don’t ever want to hear another word about white privilege from any liberal who hasn’t publicly denounced the way Hunter Biden was protected from the consequences of his disgusting criminal behavior.

Hunter Biden had better stay away from Arkansas, is all I can say. Trooper Byrd would put that scumbag in a ditch pretty quick.
