"The flashy Brooklyn bishop known for flaunting his Gucci suits, diamond-encrusted chains and stable of luxury vehicles says it’s not his fault he was targeted in a $1 million jewelry heist.
Bishop Lamor Miller-Whitehead – who’s cozy with Mayor Adams and previously did five years in prison for identity fraud and grand larceny – insisted on Instagram that his public displays of wealth didn’t lead to Sunday’s gunpoint robbery during his live-streamed service in Canarsie."
Gawd giveth and Gawd taketh away.
Now pass no more that golden tray.
Mayhap this time, this laity dense,
will finally be taught some sense.
And just come to church to pray.
[News9] Paul Sorvino, an imposing actor who specialized in playing crooks and cops like Paulie Cicero in “Goodfellas” and the NYPD sergeant Phil Cerretta on “Law & Order,” has died. He was 83.
His publicist Roger Neal said he died Monday morning in Indiana of natural causes.
“Our hearts are broken, there will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life, and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage,” his wife, Dee Dee Sorvino, said in a statement.
In his over 50 years in the entertainment business, Sorvino was a mainstay in films and television, playing an Italian American communist in Warren Beatty’s “Reds,” Henry Kissinger in Oliver Stone’s “Nixon” and mob boss Eddie Valentine in “The Rocketeer.” He would often say that while he might be best known for playing gangsters, his real passions were poetry, painting and opera.
Born in Brooklyn in 1939 to a mother who taught piano and father who was a foreman in a robe factory, Sorvino was musically inclined from a young age and attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York where he fell for the theater. He made his Broadway debut in 1964 in “Bajour” and his film debut in Carl Reiner’s “Where’s Poppa?” in 1970.
[FOX] Police in Upper Macungie Township, Pennsylvania, attempted to save a 27-year-old man who was being suffocated by a pet boa constrictor in his home last week by shooting the reptile, but the man succumbed to his injuries on Sunday, the Lehigh County Coroner announced.
Elliot Senseman, 27, died from an anoxic brain injury due to asphyxiation by constriction, meaning that the snake completely cut off oxygen to his brain, the coroner said.

A Pennsylvanian fag, no Thulsa Doom,
lived alone with a snake, all agloom.
One day his friend, Big Boa,
hugged him too tight and 'whoa!'
The cops, there in a minute tops,
hadda shoot 'ol Serpent badda boom.
But too late, the man was dead.
No, not by donut eater lead.
Ha ha ha, that'd be wicked.
See, the snake had squeezed too tight.
If Eve taught anything, in falling,
it's that serpents just ain't right.

These happen every few years or so. "Oh I'm going to let it wrap itself around my neck! It's such a frisson of pleasure being at the mercy of this cold-blooded reptile! He could strangle me at any-URK! GLLLLKKK!"

Sounds like she is new to Texas but regardless of what she hear about Texans you can't just walk into a place and shoot out the lights anymore without receiving accurate return fire.

and why is she out on the streets with a gun if she robbed a bank in 2019?

Signs plea agreement, guilty of litter. Prohibited from entering banks or airports for 90 days. Medical treatments and rehab paid for by local taxpayers.
[Fox via MSN] The accused female shooter at Dallas Love Field Airport has a lengthy criminal record and had previously told police that she was "God’s prophet" and was married to R&B singer-songwriter Chris Brown.
Over the past several years, 37-year-old Portia Odufuwa has faced charges including arson, robbery, criminal trespass and false reporting in cities across North Texas.
But in many of those incidents, judges deemed her incompetent to stand trial, she was referred to either or both inpatient or outpatient mental health services, and the cases were dismissed, The Dallas Morning News has reported. And as recently as last summer, a Dallas County judge ruled she was not a danger to others.
Before she allegedly changed clothes in the airport bathroom, pulled out a gun near a ticketing counter and opened fire into the ceiling at about 11 a.m. Monday, court records show Odufuwa had allegedly pulled a gun on a hotel front desk clerk in April 2021 at a time when she was homeless.
The woman provided the address of rapper Chris Brown’s mansion to police after the incident, but Dallas County Judge Kristin Wade dismissed the false report case by November even though Odufuwa "did not successfully complete the program" when deemed incompetent to stand trial, according to county court records reviewed by the newspaper. She was supposed to continue mental health services elsewhere.

Another solution would be to shoot the boyfriend instead of the roof at an airport which involves the national news in your personal business and results in a trip to the ER.

I don't understand the purpose of her visit. Is she checking on a potential stock trade. Do we have Taiwan legislation pending? It looks like a dumb provocation to try to swing electoral politics. Making Americans feel more patriotic is not going to enhance Dem chances. Neither will demonstrating that our military has been hollowed out by wokeness and vaccine mandates.

Reassuring them that they won't be abandoned like AFG.
Japanese macaques are seen commonly across large parts of the country
But officials said the spate of attacks in Japan's Yamaguchi city was unusual
Adults and children have suffered wounds including scratches and bites
Officials - who are deploying tranquiliser guns - aren't even sure whether the attacks are the work of multiple monkeys or a single aggressive individual

I once fought off a posse of these bastards while my dog tore out the innards of one he'd caught. I was sixteen or so. The whole neighbourhood just stood and watched like idiots. The things would swoop in and nip and swipe at us and I had just a cane staff to hit them with. At the end of it we both had multiple lacerations, there was blood everywhere, ours, the monkeys... all running together.
Killing a monkey in India is like, 'oh noze! You done gone killed god Hanuman!' And some activist type did shout something about 'now we must kill the dog too!'
Drenched in blood I gave them a look and they shut up.
Macaques are really scary to fight. It was like Aliens or Starship Troopers there for a while. They only retreated when they saw they couldn't help their guy anymore and he lay severed at the waist.
They're afraid of lemurs, or other higher order monkeys for some reason. So some communities keep their own trained lemurs to ward them off. I don't know how this works.
An hombre, a dawg, and a drama!
A faux-leather saddle, a brahma,
A portrait: St. George
Sticks his lance down the gorge
Of an ass-draggin' mascot o' er... Bama.
Too flip, of course, for such a good story. Had a better one this morning but it's done a Kubla Khan on me.

[Western Journal] After a multitude of tattoos, amputations and surgeries to turn himself into something resembling a "black alien," a French man says he’s run into a bit of a problem: Not a whole lot of people in his part of the galaxy want to give him work.
According to Indy100, a publication associated with the U.K. Independent, Anthony Loffredo has what we’d consider to be the modern version of fame and self-realization.
Instagram followers: 1.2 million. The 34-year-old has manufactured a total body transformation into his ideal self — in this case, a being that doesn’t look like it’s from this planet. He’s living his truth, as we’d say.
And yet, Loffredo is upset because prospective employers "judge him."
That quite obvious statement came during a recent episode of the Spanish-language podcast Club 113.

Has he tried Disney? Just trying to help. Maybe he should try to network into a job - ask the green alien or the guy who has transformed himself with satanic horns.

[DW] People aged 15 to 24 have never made such a small share of Germany's population. The latest figures show only 10% of the population fall into this age group — putting Germany below the European average.
65 years and over: 15.53% (2020 est.) (male 7,033,381/female 14,971,679)
Population growth rate
-0.22% (2022 est.)
Total fertility rate
1.6 children born/woman (2022 est.)
Russia appears to be doing almost as badly — if you believe the numbers they issue — plus now killing off their best young men in war in addition to shortened lifespans.

No civilization has ever come back from such a demographic collapse. Germany is dead. The coroner has ruled assisted suicide.
Germans were persuaded that they didn't want to have children by the worst kind of cultural Marxist filth. Oh, it won't happen tomorrow. These things take time. Decades. But it will happen. Or more correctly, it has happened.
[Washington Examiner] Student loan servicing contractors for the federal government are being told to hold off on sending out billing statements as the Aug. 31 deadline looms for when a loan payment freeze of more than two years is set to end, according to a report.
Scott Buchanan, executive director of the Student Loan Servicing Alliance, said the Education Department told loan servicers not to send out notices about resuming payments as the Biden administration weighs forgiving billions of dollars in federal student loans.
"The situation is that we’re almost 30 days away from the planned resumption, and the department has been telling servicers to hold off on resumption communications for the last few months," Buchanan told the Wall Street Journal. "Maybe the department expects that the White House will yet again kick the can down the road."
A spokesperson for the Education Department told the outlet that it would be communicating directly to borrowers about ending the pause "when a decision is made."
Federal student loan payments have been halted since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A freeze on payments has been extended six times, twice under President Donald Trump and four times under President Joe Biden.
Biden has yet to make a final decision on student loan forgiveness, but some proposals have suggested he is considering expunging at least $10,000 per borrower. That number is significantly lower than the $50,000 in student debt forgiveness that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) have proposed.

When I was involved in "collections," the joke around the shop was that many people operate under the mistaken impression that there's a statute of limitation on monies owed and it's as short as two weeks past due.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
