White accused murderer Casey White and his white accomplice former Lauderdale County, Alabama Sheriff’s Department corrections officer Vicky White were arrested Monday in Indiana after several days on the run, AL.com reports. Vicky reportedly suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound as the pair’s vehicle flipped while they were being chased by cops in Evansville, Indiana, so it’s unclear if it was a suicide attempt or accidental discharge. Her condition is unknown.

The Kyle Rittenhouse fan PC game “Acquitted: Self-defense vs the Braindead” developed by a Swedish game studio called “Nordic Empire” and released on the Steam platform really sucks due to its low production values and short length, irrespective of its inspiration Kotaku reports.

Made by a three man team, one of whom is the former press secretary of a far right Swedish party, the developers opted to turn the Antifa enemies in the game’s blood green to make them into “zombies”, ostensibly to make the title less “graphic”, a decision which kind of blunts the provocation intended by developing and releasing it in the first place, Kotaku’s John Walker writes.

The thing with right wing entertainment is that its audience gets into this habit of lying to themselves that it’s actually good because they see it in service of a greater cause – it appears that “Acquitted” is no different from a Kevin Sorbo movie or the jokes on Gutfeld! in that regard. None of them ever seem to want to address the question of if you own the libs by making this totally based PC game/Christian movie/douchey “comedy” show, wouldn’t you own them harder if it were good?

BTW @newsmax is also blocking coverage of “2000 Mules.” I was booked on Grant Stinchfield’s Newsmax show and then the network cancelled on me. Criticize the move if you like, but why isn’t this a legitimate news story? How can so-called news networks pretend it doesn’t exist?

Democrats on the House January 6th Select Committee are coming back around on the idea of subpoenaing House members such as Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Ronny Jackson, and Jim Banks to testify about their roles in Trump’s coup attempt, the Guardian reports. Earlier the thinking was that since Republicans will retaliate with subpoenas to Dem members such as Adam Schiff for their bullshit investigations should they take the majority that it isn’t worth the hassle, but now the strategy is to possibly go ahead anyway because either the MAGA assholes testify, which is the point, or they defy them and in doing so give Dems the greenlight to blow off theirs.

Russia has apparently hired the same promotional company as the Republicans who waved Russian flags during CPAC or put Soviet military hardware in GOP campaign ads.  In this case, the Russians wanted to honor all the brave Soviet men and women who fought the actual Nazis during World War II–because, y’know, they claim the Ukrainians are the direct descendants of Adolf Hitler even though the Ukrainians fought against the Third Reich–and they put up a photo of famous American “It” couple of the pre-war era, Bonnie and Clyde, the infamous murderers and bank robbers. … because just like the GOP, actual history means nothing to Russia.

Madison, Wisconsin Police Department Chief Shon Barnes, Asst Fire Chief Che Stedman, and federal law enforcement officials will give an update Monday on their investigation into the “Antifa” arson attack which mildly damaged the offices of an area anti-abortion group.

Fat former President Trump’s lawyers told a judge on Monday he lost the four phones subpoenaed by NY AG Leticia James, therefore the $10,000/day contempt fine imposed by the court should be dropped, CNN reports. Trump didn’t say the dog ate them, because he does’t own one.

Your 401k misses President Trump.

An ancient Roman bust dating to the 1st Century BC and believed to depict one of the sons of Caesar’s rival consul Pompey, looted from a collection that once belonged to King Ludwig I of Bavaria by an American soldier during World War II, was sold for a pretty decent price of $35 at a Goodwill thrift store in Texas, the AP reports. The new owner will reportedly give it back to the government of Bavaria, which is kind of bullshit since it was in Germany almost certainly only because the Visigoths looted it from Rome in like the 5th Century. So either hang onto it or send it back to Italy. The Germans are just middlemen here, even if it was for over 1,500 years.

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says college students are misguided because he sees an occasional hammer-and-sickle Soviet era flag or people wearing t-shirts depicting Che “Kayvara”–unaware that much of that is worn ironically or iconoclastically.  But, alas, DeSantis doesn’t address the people who are truly trying to overthrow the Constitution, rather than those who are studying history and foreign governments.  You know, like these people:

What a surprise.. right on schedule … here comes the "midterms variant" https://t.co/NgHkNZdtsz @MorningsMaria

Ferdinand Marcos Jr, son of late right wing Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr who stole an estimated $5 to $10 billion from public coffers during his 21 year reign before fleeing the country with the help of the Reagan Administration and dying in Honolulu in 1989, was elected to a six year presidential term with 59.7% of the vote on Monday, Bloomberg reports. The closest runner up was Vice President Leni Robredo at 28.3% of the vote. Former eight-division world champion boxer Manny Pacquiao got destroyed worse than in his 2015 bout with Floyd Mayweather.

Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergey Andreev was greeted with a new coat of paint as he arrived at a ceremony marking the Red Army’s 1945 victory over the Nazis in Warsaw on Monday.

Russian billionaire Alexander Subbotin, a former executive with energy giant Lukoil, reportedly was suffering from a wicked hangover Sunday when he visited the home of – we’re not making this up, just relaying a translated report from the Moscow Times – a shaman named “Magua” to be treated with poisonous toads, which apparently caused Subbotin to croak (Sorry, couldn’t help it).

Now, we get that Russia is suffering mightily from international sanctions and Gatorade or Pedialyte might be hard to come by, but they’re just sugar water. There’s zero chance a billionaire would be unable to acquire them or some cheap domestic knockoff. Who the fuck is so hungover they need a goddamned venomous amphibian administered by some Russian hick magical shaman to fix it? If it’s really that bad go to the hospital and get a saline drip. Holy shit this is ridiculous.

The House January 6th Select Committee has had only mixed success securing cooperation from the top tier of the Trump Regime, but Politico reports they’re making solid progress nonetheless putting together a picture of the coup attempt with the help of lower-level assistants and aides who have less to lose by providing information and documents to committee investigators. “We are definitely taking advantage of the fact that most senior-level people in Washington depend on a lot of young associates and subordinates to get anything done,” said Congressman Jamie Raskin, adding “A lot of these people still have their ethics intact and don’t want to squander the rest of their careers for other people’s mistakes and corruption.”

Among the most helpful have been Cassidy Hutchinson and Ben Williamson, aides to former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and Ken Klukowski, lieutenant to fascist former Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, all of whom have provided extremely detailed testimony to committee investigators about the lead-up to the insurrection on January 6th, and Trump’s actions during the assault on the Capitol. “Washington is a place where decision-makers will make decisions but it takes a staff to execute and implement them,” said Raskin. “Those people are not bound by the kinds of compromising political allegiances that their bosses are.”

The now-former supposed “treasurer” of the “America First Foundation”, a 501c(4) non-profit and the official arm of the “Groypers” leveled some apparently very serious accusations Friday of financial malfeasance by white nationalist asshole Nick Fuentes, the Intercept’s Nick Martin reports.

Jaden McNeil told the “Kino Casino” podcast that he was effectively treasurer in name only, that Fuentes and an assistant handled all the finances. Martin kind of leaves the implications here a bit vague, but he seems to be saying that Fuentes is simply embezzling whatever he wants from the foundation’s coffers with zero oversight. It’s not terribly surprising that a white nationalist group leader would be a corrupt asshole too given how often these things seem to go hand-in-hand (see Trump, Donald J), but then again it’s not like Fuentes is going to see any consequences as far as his popularity with MAGA white nationalists taking a hit. It won’t be if and until he’s in federal prison and can’t post on Telegram anymore that someone else will take over the “Groyper” spotlight.

Batshit crazy MAGA lawyer Lin Wood told the Daily Beast on Sunday he’s no longer friends with MyPillow asshole Mike Lindell, a breakup precipitated over some disagreement over the mythology of 2020 election “audits”. Wood also alleged that Lindell acolyte David Clements is a member of a “Red Shoe Club”, which is a secret cabal of – get this – secret child murderers.

Using 3-D digital technology, scientists were for the first time able to assemble a representation of 16,000 glyphs found on the ceiling of a cave in Alabama, including at least three images of humanoid beings, Business Insider reports.

The physical characteristics of the cave made it impossible to gauge the massive find:  with the cave just three feet high in some locations–and no more than six feet high–the visual effect of the drawings could not be appreciated until a digital composite was assembled and the drawings could be artificially distanced from the viewer.

Photographers Stephen Alvarez and Alan Cressler worked with archeologist Jan Simek to take more than 16,000 photographs of the caves.  “It took like years for my knees to recover. It’s just kneeling and stooping for hours and hours and hours in days and days and days on end,” said Alvarez, who had started photographing the glyphs in 1999.

Twitter users say this kid is not an actual FDNY member, but the 31 year-old “Groyper” stay-at-home son of a (possibly) retired firefighter per the name/ladder company on the fleece.

More than 100 new graduates of Wiley College, a small historically black college in Marshall, Texas learned that an anonymous benefactor had paid off all of their outstanding college debt, totally roughly $300,000, the Associated Press reports.

Internationally known for its debate team, which was immortalized in the 2008 movie The Great Debaters, Wiley has around 1,400 students enrolled across all disciplines.

“We are constantly communicating with donors to assist students in these ways so that they can begin their after-college experience with less debt,” Herman J. Felton Jr., Wiley’s president and CEO, said in the news release.
