Here in Germany there has been a knifing, killing a two-year old, in a place called Aschaffenburg by an Afghan (motive, of course, “undetermined”) and in Tel Aviv another brutal multiple knifing by a Moroccan with American papers (motive all too obvious) who somehow slipped through the notoriously tight Israeli airport security. Of course back in Nashville there was a high school shooting..
There’s a reason “safe travels” has replaced “bon voyage” as the familiar good-bye greeting these days.
Both the above knifings are getting play on the two large TV screens in front of me, one tuned to Germany’s Die Welt and the other to CNN,
Even more coverage though is devoted to the latest doings of one Donald J. Trump. It should not surprise that our new president is being dealt with more sympathetically or at least more even-handedly, by the German network. CNN has endless palaver by Christiane Amanpour, the British-Iranian journalist who has been pouring snide vitriol on anything American, particularly if it is to the right of Trotsky, for decades, another case of if-you-hate-us-so-much-why-are-you-here.
This doesn’t matter too much inside the USA where audiences are deserting CNN only slightly slower than the speed of light, but in the rest of the world it is a different story. The airports, railroad stations and hotels, as well as cable networks, of countries across the globe feature CNN far more than any other American media outlet. The network maintains this by paying for airport placement and similar means. CNN International is generally more extreme than the domestic variety as well.
And how. The late Roger Ailes had CNN International’s number decades ago:
There was a debate today on a subreddit about classical architecture, agonizing over the administration’s return to its previous position, which was, well, RETVRN. All Federal buildings will now be constructed in traditional styles. No more concrete monstrosities, no more deconstructed alien embassies, just nice sober structures with columns and porticos, connecting the present to the past. The group is predisposed to approve, but there are worries that the style will now be stained with Fascism.
It is also not surprising that Trump the architecture critic has no love for FBI HQ, one of the most reviled examples of the maligned Brutalist style. In the public imagination, capital-B Brutalism—the postwar fad named for béton brut, French for raw concrete, and defined by its heavy, cast-concrete forms—tends to be lumped in with both the shoddy, underfunded modernism of public housing projects and the space-age experiments that followed. As Julia Gatley and Stuart King write in Brutalism Resurgent, a 2016 anthology, brutalist came to be “a pejorative term used to describe monolithic buildings of raw concrete construction that impose themselves on their surroundings.” In the New York that shaped Trump’s aesthetics, that description would have suited affordable housing projects like Waterside Plaza, River Park Towers, Chatham Towers, and Tracey Towers—the antitheses of Trump’s new brand. The far right appears to be leading a broader backlash against architecture self-evidently built with 20th-century technology. Such structures, in addition to their perceived deviance from the “Western traditions” venerated by American fascists, represent the tastes and lifestyles of America’s treacherous urban elite.
It takes chutzpah to defend with a straight face soul-crushing architecture such as this:
Headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, The J. Edgar Hoover Building at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., Thursday, March 23, 2017. Construction finished in September 1975, and President Gerald Ford dedicated the structure on September 30, 1975. (AP Photo photo and caption.)
Is it that time of awards season already? Time for the sudden and unexpected snowballing of negative media stories about an Oscar frontrunner that may, or may not, have a deleterious impact on its chances of winning one or more Academy Awards?
Step forward this year’s Oscar frontrunner The Brutalist. The film is a stunning historical epic about a Hungarian Holocaust survivor, played by Adrien Brody, who becomes a celebrated architect in postwar America. Brody is hotly tipped to win the best actor Oscar, having bagged a Golden Globe, while the film’s equally lauded director, Brady Corbet, is considered a shoo-in for the directing and writing Oscars at the ceremony in March.
There’s just one snag. This week an article, originally published by the tech website Red Shark News on January 11, became the focus of attention online because it revealed that the editor of The Brutalist used AI software to correct some of the pronunciations of Brody and his co-star Felicity Jones during the few moments in the movie when they speak Hungarian.
In the interview David Jancso said: “I am a native Hungarian speaker and I know that it is one of the most difficult languages to learn to pronounce … We also wanted to perfect it so that not even locals will spot any difference.
“If you’re coming from the Anglo-Saxon world certain sounds can be particularly hard to grasp. We first tried to ADR [automated dialogue replacement] these harder elements with the actors. Then we tried to ADR them completely with other actors but that just didn’t work. So we looked for other options of how to enhance it.”
The social media frenzy (typical post: “This is a disgrace!”) became so intense that the detail-obsessed Corbet was forced to issue a clarifying statement where he explained that the AI software was used “specifically to refine certain vowels and letters for accuracy. No English language was changed.”
RX, Izotope’s long-running audio cleanup program, is popular among Hollywood backroom boffins because of all of the ways it can digitally tweak an actor’s vocal performance, long after the shooting’s stopped, and he can’t be bothered (or isn’t contractually obligated) to return to the dubbing stage to loop his dialogue. It’s but one of numerous tools in a sound designer’s arsenal to manipulate dialogue when editing a movie or TV show.
Everyone in Hollywood knows this. All the people freaking out on social media about voices being replaced in a Hollywood movie then went onto YouTube to watch clips of Star Wars, where this actor’s voice was not only replaced, the replaced voice was tweaked electronically as well:
Incidentally, this detail about Hollywood’s Oscar wars is a riot as well:
Bradley Cooper, for example, was the obvious frontrunner for last year’s best actor Oscar. His performance as Leonard Bernstein in Maestro was extraordinary, and arguably more complex and demanding than that of the award’s eventual winner, Cillian Murphy, for Oppenheimer. But Cooper’s decision to wear a prosthetic nose was deemed antisemitic by moral guardians online. The charge was nonsense, rubbished by Bernstein’s own children. But it hung around the movie like a crazed, Oscar-killing, one-word summation.

There should be no outrage on the right. Let this dude take home the best actress trophy. The actual female actresses who get robbed deserve it. None of them have the courage to speak out. All of them supported this madness. Now the monster turns against them. Poetic justice. https://t.co/ej5vsAUXNj
Mirabile dictu, the people who spent the last eight years trying to destroy Trump are outraged, outraged that the president of the United States should take a jaundiced view of their activities. John Brennan, one of the most egregious anti-Trump fanatics, whined about the unfairness of it all to left-wing talking-head Andrea Mitchell. It was a pathetic performance, but also revelatory in a minor way. I especially liked it when Brennan described Mark Milley, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, as a “American hero.” In my view, Milley ought to have been stripped of his rank and court-martialed when he insinuated himself into the chain of command and contacted his Chinese counterpart to say that he would let him know if Trump was planning to initiate any military action against China.
One of Joe Biden’s last acts as president was to immunize Milley against future federal prosecution by issuing a proleptic get-of-of-jail-free-card, aka a presidential pardon. Milley should be grateful for that benison, but I am not sure it will prove to be the absolution he craves. Remember, we are only two days into the new Trump administration. The shock and awe is just beginning.
Well, good. It’s interesting to see the New York Times suddenly discovering a strange new respect for the English language as well:
Quite the shift from the usual birthing people, fetus and clump of cells terminology pic.twitter.com/Kr3FvZAoph
On the surface, this seems serious. After all, there’s an on-record source making the claim, which is a step up from most press allegations these days. Surely, this is going to sink Hegseth’s nomination, right?
There’s just one problem: Hegseth’s second wife, the one supposedly abused, is unequivocally denying the allegations and threatening to get her lawyer involved.
From here it is obvious that [Timesman David Marchese] is desperate to change the subject because he realizes that Yarvin, good-natured and patient throughout, will keep running circles around him. Marchese tries, on a couple of occasions, to suggest Yarvin is “cherry-picking” his historical illumination, but what is clear is that Marchese doesn’t even have a minimal background to contest Yarvin on either the facts or how they should be interpreted. Marchese is a museum-quality example of glib liberal ignorance.
There’s lots more, and I recommend watching the entire interview on YouTube below, even though it is nearly an hour long. Yarvin totally exposes the supercilious, presumptuous character of the New York Times “reporters” like Marchese. I’m pretty sure Marchese left this interview, reached in his pocket, and said, “Hey—where’s my lunch money??”
I’m not sure if I agree with with Yarvin’s take — I have no problem viewing the president as something akin to a CEO or (a term-limited) monarch — I just wished he had a much smaller business or fiefdom to run.
In any case, this quote from the Times’ profile is an unintentional riot:
Pretty funny that the first “extreme” idea that the NYT cites is something that basically every mainstream conservative believes pic.twitter.com/tZMKP9qQit
Trump may be getting the memo from Yarvin, incidentally:
The reason I went with DeSantis in the primary was that he understood how to use executive power.
Trump never used his power, but instead listened to all the wrong people who convinced him POTUS couldn't really do anything because they wanted to rein him in.
Whispers of marital discord began after Michelle Obama notably missed former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral. Her office offered no explanation for her absence, only that she had a “scheduling conflict,” but CNN reported that she was in Hawaii on “extended vacation.”
Something didn’t quite make sense there.
Then there was the decision to skip Trump’s inauguration. It was viewed by many as a political statement. Allies of Michelle said she wanted “nothing to do with a man undeserving of the presidency and is making no effort to hide her disdain for Trump.”
“She meant every word she said on the campaign trail with every fiber of her being,” one source told The Hill. “And she’s no hypocrite.”
It was a perfectly believable explanation, though considering she attended Trump’s first inauguration back in 2017. Had she attended Carter’s funeral, the explanation for her absence might be more believable, but missing both of those events raises major questions.
The Daily Mail notes that there have been rumors about Barack Obama and a Hollywood actress.
BREAKING: President @realDonaldTrump has (again) returned Sir Winston Churchill to the Oval Office. Both Obama & Biden removed him. Thank you, Mr President – we Brits are very appreciative. pic.twitter.com/JFftIVUkN8
“Many observers seem puzzled. I’m not and neither is the UK press. It’s about Kenya,” the blogger Baldilocks noted in March of 2009 when the Churchill bust was drop-shipped to Downing Street and Obama stiffed then-PM Gordon Brown.
President Trump on Wednesday tore into the “nasty” Democratic bishop who lectured him at the National Prayer Service — as the church leader confirmed she was sending him a political message.
Trump rip after having to sit through Tuesday’s service in which the Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde — the Episcopal bishop of DC — turned it into a rant about illegal migrants, refugees and the LGBT community.
“The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account just after midnight.
“She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way,” he said — saying she did so in a “nasty” tone that was “not compelling or smart.”
Axel Rudakubana has pleaded guilty to murdering three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport last summer, a crime that left Britain understandably horrified and led to days of inexcusable rioting.
The 18-year-old had originally pleaded not guilty to all charges. But on what was due to be the first day of his trial at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday, he changed his pleas to guilty.
* * * * * * * * *
Part of the blame for this lies with the UK government. Its censorious and narrowly legalistic response to the attack, which limited what the public was allowed to know, created a vacuum in which wild theories and outright lies could flourish. All the authorities were prepared to say in the immediate aftermath of Rudakubana’s arrest was that the killings were ‘not being treated as terror-related’.
However, recent revelations suggest it was not unreasonable to suspect a terrorist motive. We now know that Rudakubana had downloaded an al-Qaeda training manual and had also attempted to produce Ricin, a biological toxin. Furthermore, since his guilty plea, it has emerged that he had been referred to Prevent, the government’s counter-extremism programme, on three separate occasions. He was first referred in 2019 when he was 13, and a further two referrals were made in 2021, all when he was a schoolboy living in Lancashire.
From this it is fair to infer that the attack could have been terror-related. Yet, seven months on, there is still no conclusive evidence as to Rudakubana’s motive. Indeed, the referrals to Prevent were born of concerns around his fascination with violence generally. He poured over materials on school shootings, wars and genocides. It is still not clear if he was attached to any particular ideology. He had been raised a Catholic and there is no evidence of any interest in Islamism, beyond the downloading of the al-Qaeda training manual.
Prime minister Keir Starmer has now ordered a public inquiry into the Southport attack. This may shed further light on what drove Rudakubana to commit this atrocity and how the state failed to stop him. But we are a long way from proving that he acted with a terrorist motive.
Perhaps the knife just went off: ‘Disgrace’ that Axel Rudakubana could buy a knife on Amazon. “Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, said it was ‘a total disgrace’ that Axel Rudakubana was ‘easily able to order a knife on Amazon’ despite being aged 17 and having a conviction for violence. It is illegal to sell knives to under-18s.”
DANA PRETENDS THAT “UNDOCUMENTED” ISN’T A LEFTIST EUPHEMISM FOR “ILLEGAL:”
Watch Dana Bash do a double-take in shock and horror as Tom Homan explains to her that an illegal alien doesn’t have to be convicted of a serious crime to face deportation.
For months, rank-and-file TV and film workers relied on a mantra to get themselves through a dark time in the industry: “Survive till ’25.”
The slogan came after a stint that included the pandemic, strikes by actors and writers, the long and costly pivot to streaming and the continued migration of industry jobs out of Los Angeles. Hope glimmered for January, with theatrical releases on the runway and shoots in full swing.
Then came the wildfires.
“It’s sort of been the perfect storm,’” says film and TV editor Andrew Kasch, a 20-year Los Angeles veteran who, after a year of unemployment, was giving himself just 12 more months to find work or leave the city. “The people who work on the biggest shows and movies are going to continue to be fine—it’s the rest of us facing an existential crisis.”
Though his home was unscathed, the fires have Kasch, 45, seriously considering moving with his two daughters to live with his parents in Chattanooga, Tenn. His health insurance expires next month, and he fears rising costs of living. “It’s basically been one thing after the other.”
Kasch was one of the Angelenos embracing “Survive till ’25,’” but now his view is a little more arch. “I guess it’s been changed to ‘Exist to ’26.’”
This past week, Hollywood got back to work, with shows such as “Doctor Odyssey,” “9-1-1” and “NCIS” resuming shooting after wildfire shutdowns. But on a broader scale, the decline of production in Los Angeles continues, and with it, the exodus of entertainment workers from the city to hubs in states such as Georgia and New Mexico, or to new careers altogether. The fires shine a light on the tightknit community of Hollywood crew, and leaves those gaffers, grips, costumers, makeup artists, location scouts and others wondering how much longer their dwindling ranks can remain in Los Angeles.
In his latest monthly column at Commentary, Rob Long explores the impact of “The Fire This Time:”
It wasn’t immediately apparent, when the news first started to break, that the fire was going to be quite so disastrous. I moved from Los Angeles to New York several years ago, so I tend to get my local LA news from Facebook and Instagram. But as the pictures started to emerge, I watched the streaming broadcast from KTLA Channel 5 and made a list of everyone I knew who lived in the Palisades—friends, colleagues, business frenemies—and texted each one to ask whether they were safe. It was a huge list—I’ve been in the entertainment business for 35 years —and I was struck by how many in my show-business circle live there. Lived, I should say. Most of my career, it turns out, was in the fire zone.
Which makes sense if you’ve ever been to the Pacific Palisades. It’s true that it’s a very rich area, but it also feels like a very normal, very down-to-earth small town. There are hardware stores and delis that have been there for decades, along with the kind of boutiques you’d find in any upscale suburb in America: a place for high-end sporting goods, a gifty kind of bookstore, a place to buy expensive candles. The local public high school was top-notch, and it even had a thriving Episcopal church. They’ve all been burned to the ground.
There were movie stars in the Palisades, whom you’d see in the grocery stores and Peet’s Coffee, both now destroyed. But the place was mostly the support village for the entertainment business. It’s where you lived if you were one of the thousands of people who worked in show business but wasn’t famous. If you were meeting a talent manager for lunch but neither of you wanted to make it a big deal, you met in the Palisades. If you were in the checkout line at the Gelson’s supermarket on Sunset—gone now—you might, as I did years ago, bump into a network executive and find out that your show is about to be cancelled. The Palisades was the central nervous system for show business. It’s anyone’s guess where that will be now that the Palisades is a pile of ashes and embers.
This recent dashcam video shows what the Palisades looked like before the fire. It’s a bit like holiday snapshots taken during a visit to the World Trade Center in 2000 or the summer of 2001. In this case, it was likely just some video created because it’s so easy to hit the record button these days — but one that becomes very precious after tragedy strikes and the world is upended.
Whoever shot this 17 minute video showing a drive through Pacific Palisades one month ago had no idea how historic it would become.
If you’re not from Los Angeles, this might give you a better idea of what we’ve lost. Please keep in mind this is just ONE street. This doesn’t… pic.twitter.com/AYbW8BlyjF
UPDATE: Remembering My Lost Los Angeles. “I imagine that my old neighbors in the Pacific Palisades will be making the same walks in the days to come. They’ll recall white stucco walls adorned with neon bougainvillea or ficus hedges shielding some fading star’s privacy. But the rest of the country must understand: this world of The Beach Boys, The Parent Trap, avant-garde architects, physicists, novelists, of soft Southern California light was once here. Now it’s gone, and it will never come back. The imagination that made Old California come to life was snuffed out long ago. It won’t be remade by tech bros, influencers, or anyone else. Here, in this pretty world, Old California took its last bow.”
MSNBC host Al Sharpton announced plans on the liberal network Monday to boycott corporations that have ditched diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, marking yet another conflict of interest for the activist and liberal network.
Sharpton told MSNBC colleague Joy Reid he will select “two or three companies” that his National Action Network will boycott to show that “Donald Trump can’t make us spend money for companies that will not deal and commit and continue with diversity and equity and inclusion.”
“What we said today is that these companies that are now saying they’re going to back up off of diversity and equity and inclusion, should therefore not have a diverse consumer base,” said Sharpton, who hosts MSNBC’s weekend show PoliticsNation.
The campaign comes as Sharpton and MSNBC face scrutiny over a series of Washington Free Beacon reports that the Kamala Harris campaign gave $500,000 to Sharpton’s National Action Network—which paid him $650,000 in 2023—just before the anchor-activist interviewed the Democratic presidential candidate on MSNBC in October. The Society of Professional Journalists, considered the gold standard of media ethics, called the conflict of interest a “black eye” that “harms the credibility of the journalist, the news organization, and journalism overall.” President Donald Trump recently said the arrangement was “totally against the law.”
Nice business you’ve got there. Shame if something were to happen to it…
The largest remaining tenant in San Francisco’s largest mall just called it quits. Bloomingdale’s which is owned by Macy’s announce it will be closing its doors in March.
The store, which occupies 330,000 square feet in the beleaguered San Francisco Centre, is slated to close at the end of March. Bloomingdale’s is by far the mall’s largest remaining tenant, and it is closing the brand’s second-biggest store after its New York flagship…
Bloomingdale’s, which opened in 2006 in the former Westfield mall, is the second anchor tenant to bail on the 1.5 million-square-foot property at Fifth and Market streets. Nordstrom’s flagship store closed in 2023 after 35 years in business…
The closure of Bloomingdale’s deals another setback to the struggling San Francisco Centre mall, which is about half vacant after an exodus of retailers since the pandemic.
This mall has been on the edge of collapse for a while now. The owners of the mall walked away from it in 2023:
The San Francisco Centre is being managed by a receiver after its previous owners, Westfield and Brookfield Properties, walked away from the property in 2023.
The 800,000-square-foot mall was supposed to be sold in a public auction late last year, but the process has been delayed twice by lenders.
“They had Mr. Biden use a teleprompter for even small fund-raisers in private homes, alarming donors, who were asked to provide questions beforehand. They came up with replacing the grand steps that presidents use to board Air Force One with a shorter set that led directly into the belly of the plane. They chastised White House correspondents for coverage of the president’s age. They hand-delivered memos to Mr. Biden describing social media posts the campaign staff had persuaded allies to write that pushed back on negative articles and polls.”
A similarly-timed article in the Guardian relayed an anecdote from political scientist Larry Sabato. A Democratic senator called Sabato in early 2024 and said, “You do realize, off the record, that Joe Biden is not going to be our nominee?” Sabato, stunned, says the senator then told him: “I just was at a meeting with him with several other senators and he couldn’t even function. We can’t run him.”
That senator tried to talking to the administration about it and “was punished, as several of them were. They gave him the cold shoulder for a while. The point is that a lot of people had figured it out but they didn’t care. I’m stunned that they got away with it.”
But we already knew from past reporting that some of this was going on. Over the summer, CNN reported that members of Biden’s Cabinet didn’t know much about his health because they were so rarely given the opportunity to see the president. An earlier piece in the New York Times reported that Biden’s staff had been stage-managing podcast interviews since 2022. And of course there was the early-July Wall Street Journal report that came under attack from the media and the president’s administration and allies yet turned out to be exactly right about Biden’s condition and the fact that he was essentially a part-time president. The Journal recounted a 2022 meeting abroad with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz that the president skipped, even though it was in the early evening, so he could go to bed. The chancellor and his aides didn’t know Biden was flaking on him until Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived and held the meeting in his stead. The president just simply didn’t show up.
The stand-in part of that is the key. Biden may not have been “presidenting” at various key moments, but someone was.
Now the best you can say for anyone who wasn’t a member of the Biden nuclear family is that perhaps they didn’t know the full extent of it either and were made to respond on the fly. But if Blinken knew in 2022 that the president couldn’t handle an early-evening meeting with Scholz, so did plenty of other people—and nobody said anything for two more years.
“I am struck by an observation that few others seem to have made about the Biden era: Nobody really ever got fired,” Jeffrey Blehar adds:
I remember that Donald Trump had only one good line during his first (and only) debate against Joe Biden — primarily because he needed do nothing else but remain functional while Biden melted like a wax candle beside him — and it was his point that Biden had never fired anyone for poor performance, not even once in a presidential term that all voters could agree was wrought with massive, avoidable, personally accountable failures. Why not? I flagged it back then (even amidst the chaos of Biden’s meltdown) because I felt that it subtly got to the point that Trump, in that debate, was not expecting to deal with: Biden’s presidency had been a sham from its very first day, a project managed by a group of advisers rather than an actual president, and that cabal couldn’t fire anyone who might reveal the secret.
It really boils down to that: We were stuck with the useless administration Biden announced on Day One, because, on Day One, Biden was already mentally unfit for office. His aides and family hid him, and every single person who accepted a berth working for this fraud of a team inevitably realized it (or came to realize it) as well. That’s why nobody could be fired or let go. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Remember when America’s entire transportation infrastructure, from plane to highway to rail, suddenly convulsed early in the term under Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, who at one time happened to be secretly vacationing? Of course you don’t, because no disciplinary action was taken after that PR malfunction. Ask yourself why. The obvious answer is that a Buttigieg cashiered for political purposes would be a Buttigieg free to remark about how he suspected Biden to secretly be a mental vegetable. (Mayor Pete has ambitions, so perhaps he could be trusted to maintain omertà; how about Lloyd Austin?) That’s why they were all forgiven, I suspect. How nice it must have been to work in a presidential administration run with the same mindset as a failing Mafia enterprise, where you weren’t even expected to “produce numbers”; only loyalty to the secret of the dying don was required to keep your sinecure.
In the case of Buttigieg, it’s simply because we mere mortals simply can’t appreciate the infinite capacity of his “cathedral mind,” and the amount of time it will take to fully comprehend the genius of his time in office:
In an exit interview with Politico, Buttigieg blames this not on administrative failures, bureaucratic backlog, or voters’ prioritizing other things but rather on that pesky time-space continuum. “The nature of good policy and being politically rewarded for good policy is it doesn’t tend to happen — in the same way that an artist is not necessarily appreciated in their lifetime, a policy is rarely appreciated in the same political cycle where it happens, especially a good one.” Buttigieg implies Biden shares his frustration — but will also share in his ultimate vindication.
An Oregon couple was arrested Sunday for impersonating firefighters in the area burned by the Pacific Palisades near Los Angeles, California, according to the Los Angeles Times. The Times, citing law enforcement sources, identified the couple as Dustin Nehl, 31, and Jennifer Nehl, 44. Mr. Nehl’s social media accounts say he lives in Woodburn, Oregon; Mrs. Nehl’s say she lives in Jefferson or Scio, Oregon.
The couple allegedly drove a full-size firetruck emblazoned with “Roaring River Fire” into the recently burned area, claiming they were volunteer firefighters. Police were contacted when someone noticed the fire truck, which had California plates, did not look quite right, according to the Times. There is no “Roaring River Fire” in Oregon.
The Nehls combine a longstanding interest in fire, climate change and weather, according to media reports and the couples’ social media accounts.
Dustin Nehl was sentenced in 2016 to five years in prison and three years post-incarceration supervision for arson and possession of a destructive device related to damage caused in incidents from 2013 to 2016 to a country club and a water treatment facility in Woodburn, according to a contemporaneous report from The Woodburn Independentand The Oregonian.
The 21st century isn’t turning out as I had hoped.
