Terrorist Naveed Akram. It’s always the ones that you most suspect.

Anarcho-Tyranny in Australia
On Sunday, December 14, two South Asian Muslims, Sajid Akram and his son Naveed, attacked a Hannukah celebration in Bondi Beach, Australia. They killed fifteen people and injured over forty. Police killed Sajid and injured Naveed. The attack appears to have been inspired by ISIS, based on the two handmade ISIS flags found in their car.
Two Jews and an Arab fought courageously against the attackers, but the Australian police—like the Australian people themselves—were just bit players in the background while foreigners carried on their blood feuds. This impression was underscored by the reactions of the Australian government.
The Bondi Beach massacre is just the type of event that earnest Right-wingers have cited for years to argue that Jews and whites have common interests in opposing Islamic immigration and terrorism in white countries.
Oddly enough, the Australian political establishment—which is highly sensitive to Jewish opinion—doesn’t see things that way. Instead, Australia’s leaders have blamed the massacre not on Muslims but on guns and racist white people.
Australia, of course, already has strict gun control laws. But Sajid Akram legally owned all six hunting rifles used in the attack, even though the ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organization) and New South Wales Police scrutinized his son Naveed in 2019 for associations with a Sydney-based ISIS-linked cell, which included Isaac El Matari, the self-declared Australian commander of ISIS who was convicted of plotting terrorism.
Gun control isn’t the solution, however. Instead, all Muslims should be deported from Australia and no new ones should be allowed in. After all, if there were no Muslims in Australia, there would be no Muslim terrorism. Doesn’t that “punish” innocent Muslims? Yes, it does. But gun control punishes far more innocent Australians, and it would not prevent Muslim terrorists from getting arms anyway. Only law-abiding people follow gun control laws. Criminals don’t have any compunctions about breaking laws. That’s what makes them criminals. Thus a Muslim ban is far more effective at combatting Muslim terrorism, and it would inconvenience far fewer innocent people.
But the Australian government is not really interested in reducing Muslim terrorism. Instead, it is interested in disarming law-abiding white people.
The same thing is true about censoring “hate speech” and “anti-Semitism.” The majority of this is directed against a white Australian group called the National Socialist Network (NSN). This is ironic, because the NSN has called for returning to the White Australia Policy which would have prevented the Bondi Beach massacre, along with countless other racial problems great and small.
But the Australian government is less interested in preventing Muslim terrorism than in jailing the NSN for defending themselves against rabid Leftists, making silly salutes, and saying mean things about politicians and journalists. While the Bondi police were conspicuously gun-shy during the massacre, they were quite ready to arrest and jail Bondi resident Joel Davis, who is now awaiting trial over allegedly encouraging his followers to “rhetorically rape” a politician. The media even doxed his pregnant girlfriend.
Australian Nationalist Auspill’s summary on Telegram is worth reading in full. He is spot on in saying, “Ironically the only groups proposing a real solution to Australia’s repeated Islamic terror attacks are the very ones scapegoated right after the deadliest one yet.” Rather, Auspill would prefer to copy Trump’s reaction to Islamic terrorism, which was banning Third World migration and reviewing visas.
The Brown University Shooting
On Saturday, December 13, a shooter killed two students and injured nine others at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Then, on December 15, Nuno F. G. Loureiro, a 47-year-old Portuguese-born professor of physics and nuclear science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was fatally shot multiple times in his home in Brookline, Massachusetts.
We didn’t know that the crimes were connected, much less the identity of the shooter, until December 18, but that didn’t stop five days of fervid online schizo takes.
The first instinct of conspiracy mongers is never to “get to the truth” of any matter. Instead, it is to twist any news story into confirmation for their preexisting beliefs and agendas.
Thus the anti-white media accused a young white student of being the shooter, while mostly Right-wing online sleuths suggested the shooter was a Palestinian student. Both were incorrect. I will omit their names to preserve what remains of their privacy.
Online Right-winger commentators also claimed, without evidence, that the shooter specifically targeted Ella Cook, who was the Vice President of the local TPUSA chapter, who was killed. But if Ella Cook was the target, why shoot ten other people?
There was also a great deal of chimping about the “incompetence” of law enforcement and the lack of surveillance footage. Seriously? Do we really want to live in an all-powerful surveillance state?
But it turns out that the cops aren’t completely incompetent, because now we are being told that the shooter was Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a 48-year-old Portuguese man who entered America via the diversity visa lottery in 2000 and became a permanent resident in 2017.
From 1995 through 2000, he studied engineering physics at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portugal, but did not earn a degree and was terminated as a teaching assistant. Loureiro was one of Valente’s classmates. Valente then attended Brown for a Ph.D. program in physics from fall 2000 to spring 2001, when he took a leave of absence. In 2003, he withdrew without earning a degree.
On December 18, 2025, Valente was found dead in a rented storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. At this point, I am going to forget all about this story, because it is not important. But I fully expect that internet schizos will seize on it and spend the next couple of years turning it into their latest slobbery chew toy. Awfully convenient, isn’t it, that this comes along at the exact right time to distract from [insert obsession here]?
Lest this tragedy go to waste, on December 18, Donald Trump used it as a pretext to suspend the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) Program, colloquially known as the green card lottery. The green card lottery wasn’t signed into law by a Democrat but by Bush the elder in 1990. It became operational in 1995. It hands out 55,000 visas to countries with low historic immigration to America. The very notion of a diversity lottery is repulsive and should have never existed in the first place. It signals that America isn’t a homeland but just a prize to be raffled off to the dregs of the planet.
Rob Reiner Murdered, Trump Most Affected
On December 14, 2025, director and actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, were found stabbed to death in the master bedroom of their home in Brentwood, Los Angeles. They were found by their daughter, Romy Reiner. Their son Nicholas Reiner (age 32), who has a long history of drug abuse and mental illness, was arrested later that day and has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
I don’t mock the dead because I’m not immune to death. Thus it strikes me as a peculiar sort of narcissism to dance on other people’s graves. It’s also just dumb, because it hands one’s enemies a golden opportunity for hypocritical posturing.
I learned this lesson the hard way years ago, when I very justifiably criticized the wife of an enemy, giving the man who beat and cheated on her the opportunity to grandstand as a defender of purest maidenhood against poisonous slander. I gagged.
Donald Trump can’t talk about the Ukraine War without making it all about him, so it should not have surprised me when he released a statement making Rob Reiner’s murder about himself:
Rob Reiner was a stereotypical Hollywood Jewish Leftist douchebag. I have seen a few of his movies—This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, Misery—but I actually didn’t know he was the director of any of them. The projects that I associated with his name had such a stench of middlebrow liberal piety that I gave them a wide berth.
But Trump handed people who didn’t care one bit about Reiner the opportunity to piously posture as defending the memory of the “beloved director” of “iconic movies” like [checks notes] The Princess Bride against the heartless, tasteless egomaniac Trump.
I wish he’d stop doing that. Time is too short, there’s too much at stake, and it is unnerving to know that the wheel of state is in the hands of a man with a perverse death wish who occasionally likes to swerve across the center line, just for kicks.
But before you declare that this is the “last straw” and that Trump has committed “political suicide,” you might look into how Rob Reiner spent the last ten years of his life: as a crazed Captain Ahab obsessively scouring the seas for the Great Orange Whale. Reiner seemed to be permanently playing “Meathead” to Trump’s Archie Bunker. In fact, Rob Reiner was so eaten up with hatred that he’s probably floating in a lake of fire right now, delighted that he is still bedeviling Donald Trump.

Great article! I didn’t know that Rob Reiner directed The Princess Bride. This new comment tool bar sucks, it will take some time to get used to. 🙃
Wow.
I have a completely opposite view of “This is Spinal Tap” . IMO it’s one of THE funniest, most clever movies, videos in my lifetime I’m 64 – it’s right up there with the best of Monty Python, Monty Python and Holy Grail and “The Life of Brian”.
I guest one has to be around people who took British rock and roll music super seriously New all the inside jokes of the break up of the Beatles with the Beatles girl friends Linda Eastman, Yoko Ono trying to break up the all male guy brothers band and boy did they do that.
I note that “This is Spinal Tap” and the Monty Python movies have a cult following of mostly all high IQ White men, some white women, similar to the Grateful Dead Cult following or Fleetwood Mac, Rumors of Fleetwood Mac.
And folks, that’s what we desperately need – artists, musicians, painters that have dedicated mostly all white cult followers, not just high IQ writers and readers that write academic blogs about history and philosophy.
Many people I trust say that Hitler was the first real Rock Star – he could back huge football stadiums with his followers and he entertain, captivate, commune with, hypnotize hundreds of thousands of his/our people. That’s much more powerful than writing lots of 30o page books about group identitarianism such as “the Culture of Critique” or Rosenberg’s “The Myth of The 20th Century”. Gobbles said that Rosenberg’s “the Myth of the 20th Century” was history’s largest selling book that nobody ever really read.
C’mon folks. Let’s promote human, sarcasm. sex beer and rock and roll.

Two thumbs up! I am exactly your age. I loved Monty Python but the uniquely “British humor” ─ or is that “humour” ─ was sometimes hard to get. Like SCTV, the sketch comedy was usually best in smaller doses.
People also talk about Red Dwarf and Doctor Who. I never could get into those. They just seemed too cheesy compared to Star Trek or Lost in Space, and the new Dr. Who is genderqueer or PoC or something. No thanks.
🙂
Scott, old Dr Who with Tom Baker and John Pertwee is great; Peter Davidson is not bad, but anything after that, particularly in more recent times, is to be avoided.
Agree, not for lack of trying I could never get into red dwarf or Doctor Who. Even though with most things I’m a free range sci-fi fantasy dork, enjoying Star Trek and Star Wars omnivorously. it usually doesn’t take much to impress me.
Wheel of Time and yes, even Goodkind’s Sword of Truth as a kid, but would you know if English sci-fi author Peter Hamilton is worthy a try?
I like the show for legend of the seeker. Never heard of Hamilton.
CC has two articles about the movie. One is from June 29, 2021, that criticizes the movie, and the second one is from July 1, 2021, that defends the movie.
I agree. Unless you were someone that knew a fair bit about cheesy 70’s and 80’s metal / hard rock, or had been a youngster that wanted to play music, or had played in local bands, it probably wouldn’t make much sense.
A lot of the ideas were based on things that happened to real bands, such as “Spinal Tap first; Puppet Show last”. Noddy Holder said that happened to Slade when they were on the way down. Black Sabbath used a Stonehenge model when Ian Gillan was their singer in the early 80’s. Gillan said it was so big, it couldn’t fit into some of the venues. Bill Nelson when he was in Be Bop Deluxe, said he got stuck in a pod during an on-stage stunt. Derek Smalls is obviously a copy of Saxon’s bass player etc. Not to mention every weird spandex outfit Scorpions ever wore, along with their bizarre album covers.
One of the best bits is the happy ending when David’s horrible manager/girlfriend gets her comeuppance when David yells out, “Nigel Tufnel, lead guitar!” and Nigel returns to the stage and Ian Faith’s role as manager is restored.
I didn’t even know who Rob Reiner was until years later , didn’t know he was some sort of renowned director, or of his role in All In The Family.
Happy Jul everyone!
“… but that didn’t stop five days of fervid online schizo takes.”
I’ve seen bizarre schizo scenarios trying to connect the Brown University Shooting to Reiner and both to Epstein. The general belief of conspiracy fans worldwide is that all violent events that happen in the same timeframe and make national news must be connected somehow, as if an episode of The X Files (which usually starts with a mysterious death) would play out in real life.
I find the idea of hidden plots behind weird things on the news intrigueing, but the amount of stupidity and unreasonableness in conspiracy speculation out there has almost ruined the idea for me (I still think there’s something to it in, say, 2 out of 100 cases – but conspiratards act like it’s 90 out of 100!).
Newsworthy shootings/murders trigger so much conspiracy speculation for three reasons, mainly:
a) peak sensationalism
b) criminal conspiracies may be able to cover a lot of things up (see Epstein). But a homicide is hard to hide. In other words, whoever the “alpha Bad Guys” are and however powerful they may be, if they have to resort to killing someone, this will generate evidence that can’t be fully hidden, so a smart “detective” (as conspiracy fans imagine themselves or their favorite conspiracy theorists to be) will follow the trail of dead bodies
c) secrets that are worth killing for are, naturally, highly interesting. By this logic, a mysterious death implies a highly important secret or operation
Good comment. I especially like (c). In the case of the Brown shooter, the likely story is that he was a loser still seething at his failure in graduate school and taking it out on innocent kids in the building where he studied and a more successful classmate. Sad that lives can be extinguished from such petty motives.
Since when you became so negative about trump Greg.. I hope you remember that he is the only president in modern American History Who Fought against anti-white policies in universities and the federal level before what he didn’t do please remember what he did. I remember when you used to condemn the isolationist and now you embrace isolationism in Venezuela which was iran russia China playground
The biggest problem with the new comment tool bar is that the icons do not match the function. Once you get that fixed, you should be good. It must be some of those pajeet computer experts we’ve been hearing so much about. 🙃
We are long past 2016; all but the dyed-in-the-wool known that Trump is a thoroughly detestable human being. (For many of us, his loathsome character is substantially outweighed by his having changed the political landscape with his rhetoric — and to a lesser extent the actions by his administration — relating to demography.) Even then, his utter narcissism and downright awfulness retains the capacity to surprise. There are plenty of people who have wronged me in my life, but none who, if gruesomely murdered, would cause me to say anything beyond: “We had our disagreements but no one deserves to go like that.” Yes, Rob Reiner was a liberal douchebag, but it’s still awful for a guy to be murdered by his own son like that.
Agreed. And since no one had yet asked, there was no reason for Trump to offer any opinion. Bizarrely, his take implies that Reiner’s son killed him to defend Trump. At least that’s my read on attributing it to the “anger he caused others through…Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Trump says mean things ─ boo hoo ─ it doesn’t always land well but nobody can troll his opponents better.
Reagan could usually disarm those whom Nixon [i.e., V.P. Agnew’s speechwriter, Wm. Safire] called the “nattering nabobs of negativity,” but Trump goes for the throat.
The establishment media always tries to label Trump’s take on anything in the worst-possible light. Personally, I don’t really care what they say about him; their main butthurt about the Donald since 2016 is that the man is rayciss and anti-immigration. That is what got him elected twice, and it still resonates positively with the White populace, if not in most of Hollywood.
Rob Reiner ─ an ultra-Left progressive Jew who claimed to revere the teachings of Jesus, and who played the lovable Polack, Mike “Meathead” Stivic in the early-1970’s TV show All in the Family ─ was decidedly the face of Hollywood’s Trump Derangement Syndrome.
So, in fairness to Trump, he was anticipating that MAGA would get blamed for the beloved Meathead’s murder ─ only for it to immediately be attributed to Reiner’s deranged junkie son, Nick.
So Trump doubled down on the troll rather than walking it back, which might have even looked worse considering the hostility of his critics. They are not capable of hating him more, and Trump’s MAGA followers are unlikely to care or to like him less.
The media chatterati (LINK) have been busy comparing Trump against the gracious manner that the Hollywood TDS guru Rob Reiner commented on the Charlie Kirk murder:
“It’s beyond belief what happened to him. That should never happen to anybody. I don’t care what your political beliefs are. That’s not acceptable. That’s not a solution to solving problems.”
That is what Liberals should have led with after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Reiner’s comments were made on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, which aired on September 26, 2025 ─ some sixteen days after Kirk was shot and killed on September 10th in Utah.
So on the Piers Morgan TV show a couple of weeks later, Reiner was in heavy damage-control mode after prominent Libtards had spontaneously burst out on social media with glee after Charlie Kirk’s heinous murder. Shïtbird Jimmy Kimmel had even implied on his TV show that MAGA was behind the Kirk shooting ─ though that didn’t land any better than the initial TDS joy that a youthful “Fascist” was dead.
There is even a semi-serious proposal to name a freeway in Phoenix after the slain Charlie Kirk ─ if only Mr. Kirk had been an Indian squaw who wrecked her Jeep in Iraq and bought a posthumous Purple Heart. They can’t name everything after Pat Tillman.
🙂
There is absolutely no point to Trump “trolling his enemies.” Trump is now in power.
(a) He has better things to do.
(b) It just hardens his enemies and disgusts independents without any discernible political upside.
I don’t think Trump is unequivocally in power, but he has wielded it better than in his first term. And there has most notably been a good shift in the judiciary that would never have happened with a Newt Gingrich or a Mitt Romney, let alone a Democrat. I would agree that Trump is not building a great legacy for when he leaves the Presidency, which will be soon.
The TDS hysterics can wait it out and they may have a big win in the Midterms unless Trump pulls some rabbits out of a hat. Even if inflation abates by November, and I’m skeptical, the Healthcare crisis, etc. is not going away.
🙂
Rob Reiner was a stereotypical Hollywood Jewish Leftist douchebag. I have seen a few of his movies—This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, Misery—but I actually didn’t know he was the director of any of them.
Misery was not bad, but of course leftist, however Stephen King is leftist himself and the movie was based on his novel.
Shock and Awe and A Few Good Men were open leftist and anti-American propaganda, but with good actors, and done professionally.
People always raved about This is Spinal Tap. Am I the only person who thinks it stunk? It had one small chuckle. It was boring and predictable.
It’s not just you, Fred. I had an acquaintance who was absolutely hyper with joy when he heard that Spinal Tap was going to be on television, so he dragged me to his friends’ home where they all sat around in the dark smoking dope and watching that incomprehensibly stupid and boring movie and laughing themselves silly. Then I realized that weed makes you laugh a lot so maybe they never saw anything in that film at all.
Yeah, I’ve always heard about it, but I just have no motivation to watch it. It doesn’t seem appealing at all. But people seem to push it really hard. It seems like most of the good stuff Reiner did really derived from the source material, mostly king.
There were two small chuckles for me: the band had two lead guitarists and the whole Stonehenge stage farce. The humor was so tepid that I thought the director was Christopher Guess. As for the music: it just sounded like okay heavy metal to me. A genre that defies parody.
I heard that a sequel was in the works. I wonder if Reiner’s death put the kabosh on that. For me the only chuckle was the former drummer who died in a strange gardening accident.
The name of the sequel is called Spinal Tap Two: The End Continues. It was released on September 12, 2025. It was Rob Reiner’s last film. I haven’t seen it, so I can’t critique it. it’s been discussed that the first movie denigrates Stonehenge, a white achievement. The poster for this movie has the three main members standing on top of one of the slabs of Stonehenge. The drummer is dead obviously.
Greg, thanks for the correction.
Spinal Tap does not “denigrate” Stonehenge. The band wants a Stonehenge stage prop, and it is manufactured to be 14 inches (or whatever) rather than 14 feet, because all the people involved are dumb.
I just finished watching the 41-years-in-coming sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.
I’d say that unless you are really interested, save your money. It had the same deadpan humor but most of the jokes were pretty lame.
The Mockumentary, a genre apparently invented by Rob Reiner, seemed to channel the music from a plugged-in folk band more so than a heavy metal renunion of borderline octogenarians.
There were lots of cameos. Sir Paul McCartney visited the Tap studio and said that he got into music for the drugs. Sir Elton John visited with his husband and sang some numbers with the band.
It was a little disturbing to see how badly the band members had aged, but a lot of it was probably theatrical effects. There is a good reason that aging hippies, if not always aging rockers, often cut their hair in their mature years.
The self-deprecating humor of Director Rob Reiner was the same as in the earlier version, but it was a little creepy to realize that shortly thereafter he and his wife were murdered ─ throat cut in his bed and stabbed dozens of times by his junkie son Nick, according to available reports.
One running joke is that the band’s initial drummer [Ed Begley Jr. ─ shown in a brief cameo from a faux 1960 Kinescope TV recording] was killed in a gardening accident, and there has been a curse on the Spinal Tap drummers ever since.
https://youtu.be/tZrqC5LL_oo?si=K1nu1VEyWp4AxFBV
In the sequel, the band hires Didi Crockett as the new female drummer, played by Valerie Franco who came out as Queer in 2019, whatever that is supposed to mean. Derek Smalls, played by Harry Shearer of the Simpsons, and who is about thirty years Franco’s senior, makes a play for the new drummer, only to get introduced to her (real-life) Lesbo girlfriend, fitness instructor Annie Gordenier.
The sequel ends on a cliffhanger when documentary filmmaker Marty Di Bergi, played by Rob Reiner, is interviewing the Tap’s female drummer after the gig as the credits roll, and she chokes on some vegan morsel, with Marty then performing the Heimlich maneuver.
Does she make it? Is this the final end of Tap? Well, we know that Director Rob Reiner didn’t survive.
🙂
I also resisted watching Spinal Tap despite the general acclaim. Apparently, it’s yet another (Jewish) exercise to mock and denigrate white people. The fact that this director used the adventures of an ( idiotic ) metal band to find another way to devalue Europeans (apparently Stonehenge is desecrated in the movie ) speaks volumes. But then again, having not seen the ” Masterpiece,” I’m not so sure.
It is not exactly High Art for a feature film, but it is not a bad “mockumentary” about stereotypical metal bands. The cast were pretty talented with what they had to work with ─ and with better writing and directing, it could have done so much more with that theme. There has often been a slight sillinesss and fun with Metal, especially before the Internet. I wore the T-shirts in the day and somehow the world survived.
🙂
I know what you mean. I wore them too.
Dragoslav, I’ll add some information about This is Spinal Tap. Rob Reiner was basically mocking heavy metal. The humor in it is meant to be subtle. If you happen to be a fan of heavy metal, then you will get some of the humor. Many fans of heavy metal liked the movie at the time because they realized that many metal bands go overboard with their stage shows. CC has two articles about the movie, one that is critical of the movie and one that defends the movie. The first one is from June 29, 2021, The Spinal Solution: Satirizing and Subverting Goyim in Spinal Tap, Tobias Langdon. The second article is from July 1, 2021, and it’s titled In Defense of Spinal Tap, Spencer J Quin. And yes, it mocks Stonehenge. I’ll recommend two other articles that are on CC that I should have recommended a few days ago. The first one is from August 1, 2021. It’s called Meathead is Right. That article is about Rob Reiner, his beliefs, and his criticism of Trump. Recently, we have discussed Norman Lear, the Jewish sitcom producer who produced sitcoms that denigrated whites. He was the puppet master who pulled the strings, while his loyal lapdog, Rob Reiner did much of the acting. A good CC article about this subversive Jew is from December 11, 2023. It’s titled Culture-Critiquing Sitcom Mogul Norman Lear Finally Gives up the Ghost, Jim Goad. All of these articles are good example of how Jews use entertainment to undermine white society.
Thanks Scott and Big Foot. I’ll check these fine articles.
Regarding “Recently, we have discussed Norman Lear, the Jewish sitcom producer who produced sitcoms that denigrated whites,” —
It was Christmas Day, 1977, when All in the Family aired (the anti-Christian) ‘Edith’s Crisis of Faith’ episode where Edith refuses to go to church with her family for Christmas due to her anger over God allowing a cross-dresser she knew to die as a result, of an anti-gay attack. (Wiki)
This is Spinal Tap
Cannot say anything about this movie, I tried to watch it, but five minutes were enough for me.
I tapped out at around 15 minutes with the insufferably despicable and antiWhite One Battle After Another.
It was more like an occasionally-clever sketch comedy than a feature, for sure.
As a former Broadcasting Engineer, I still get a chuckle over this bit:
LINK
🙂
Another film that was somewhat similar to This is Spinal Tap is A Mighty Wind. It’s not about heavy metal. it parodies the folk music revival. The movie came out in 2003. It has some of the same actors as This is Spinal Tap. It’s directed by Christopher Guest.
Yeah, I remember that one. In addition to Director Christopher Guest and Michael McKean, A Mighty Wind had many of the Canadian actors from Second City TV like Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara. (John Candy had died a decade or so earlier.) I used to watch SCTV when I was in the college dorm on a TV that I put together from parts. I thought the SCTV show was the weirdest thing that I’d ever seen. Hilarious but best taken in smaller doses. Some of the late-nite programs in the early ’80s were 90 minutes long. Hard to take more than a half-hour at a time.
🙂
I give credence to the theory that Reiner was raped and groomed by his father and raped and groomed his son in return, on account of Al Franken saying as such during a “roast” (the prototype public Jewish humiliation ritual in the early 2000s). We know this is the kind of thing these Hollyweird people are capable of. Do I have proof? No, but I don’t need proof to hate my enemy when I am fighting him. Reiner was a scumbag and its funny to watch those who mocked the slaying of Kirk now cry crocodile tears if you dare mock the memory of Reiner.
“Derangement” is an understatement and I think the media is hugely overblowing Trump’s words, although perhaps he should have gone against his nature and been more gracious about the tragedy.
But I think Rob Reiner’s failing was mostly denial that his son was a psychopathic junkie that nothing short of a long stint in prison was going to straighten out.
Meathead has said publicly on the matter in the past that his parenting failure was listening to the doctors rather than to his son.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, the occasionally pro-Trump Hollywood addiction guru, said that this was exactly the problem, i.e., that Reiner ignored the experts about his son’s disease.
Pinsky says that addicts tell lies when the truth sounds better, and they massively manipulate the people who try to care for them the most, like Mr. and Mrs. Reiner. Dr. Todd Grande on YouTube has a similar take as well.
It looks like the remaining Reiner family are circling the wagons and they will be throwing their fortune on a high-priced defense attorney to keep brother Nicko off Death Row and get off on a mental illness rap.
Dr. Pinsky says that the mental illness defense is a longshot that falls flat when severe addiction is manifest.
Nick Reiner was in detox at least 17 times and was often living on the street. He had a long criminal record scoring dope and tweaking meth, etc. Rob Reiner and wife did their best to keep their son out of jail when he was a danger to himself and others, and they have paid the price for it.
🙂
Carrol O’ Connor, who we know as Archie Bunker aka Meathead’s father-in-law, had a similar problem with his adopted son Hugh O’ Connor. He had an addiction problem as well and went through rehab 11 times. He wanted to put his son in rehab again and they got into an argument about it over the phone. Right after that phone call ended, his son committed suicide by gunshot. Hollywood and the entertainment industry is full of good vibes (sarcasm).
Carrol O’ Connor, who we know as Archie Bunker aka Meathead’s father-in-law, had a similar problem with his adopted son Hugh O’ Connor. He had an addiction problem as well and went through rehab 11 times. He wanted to put his son in rehab again… his son committed suicide by gunshot.
Jeezuschrist! If 11 times doesn’t work, why would the 12th? Can’t anyone find something that truly works? I suspect there are genuine cures out there, but you will not hear about them in the mainstream media or from the rehab industry, which may be an offshoot of the AA programs, where you stay away from liquor thru sheer force of will. There is something creepy about that cultish approach.
Not only that, but from what I understand about rehab, it’s very expensive.
Dr. Pinsky says that the only thing that works with cases like this is a long stint in prison where they can’t get stoned in spite of pleas to Dad, and then when they are finally dried up sufficiently, the junkie is able to actually want to change their life once they are out. Just hitting Skid Row is not going to do it. Addicts like this usually have long rap sheets already so prison is not out of line.
The young Reiner was already a danger to himself and others, and I think a firm intervention was necessary long before it came down to double murder.
In California, Nick Reiner faces Life in Prison without Parole or the Death Penalty. Pinsky disagrees with the Death Penalty here, but Nicko viciously killed two people. That is exactly what he deserves.
🙂
Imagine that…11 and 109 times just never seems to work. The knuckleheads can’t get good sense through their domes.
I used to watch the show Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew. That show highlighted these actors and their various addictions. That show was good at exposing one of the dark sides of Hollywood. When you add Jewish directors like Rob Reiner and Harvey Weinstein it gets worse. It’s not all glamour.
…an Arab Christian fought courageously against the attackers…

I’m curious how the Brown shooter washed out in Portugal yet finds his way into a phd program at Brown? And washes out again? And melts into the hinterlands for 15 years before becoming a permanent resident? I see a pretty big gap between when he arrived here and when he decided to take his wrath out on strangers and a former classmate. Is no one else even curious about his lost years? And the police begging for help from the public? Geez, since when did police not have the resources to perform investigations? Not exactly random killings but fairly close. Sure was good the homeless man was so observant and well spoken to assist law enforcement. Give the man his $50,000.
he didn’t wash out in Portugal. They said he was quite brilliant, one of the top students at sort of like the MIT of Portugal. At Brown he complained that it was too easy. Is brown known for stem at all? There was a Brazilian student there, and he would call the Brazilian student a “slave”, and they got into a fight. Lolol. I get the sense he was sort of a Kazinski type. You know a really brilliant person who didn’t feel like he was getting the recognition that he merited or something.
I guess it’s semantics. I read that he didn’t graduate in Lisbon and was fired as a teaching assistant. That sounds like washing out to me.
It’s not terribly valuable to anyone to be brilliant yet unable to apply your ability to something constructive. He sounds like an introvert with high capabilities and nowhere to use them. Having an abrasive streak probably didn’t help either. If he was truly a brilliant engineer or technician he should have been able to find a niche these days. With remote work available you don’t even have to get close to anyone unless you want to. I think there’s a lot of mystery to be solved in this case.
I don’t know what to make of the Providence police chief. It’s unusual that a Hispanic man would be in a position of authority in that area of New England. He immigrated from Columbia at 13 but still has an accent. He is praising the company that makes the cameras that were used to catch the shooter. The company is called Flock, and they have very advanced cameras that can zero in on license plates. Many leftists are critical of the company; they are claiming that cameras that advanced are an invasion of privacy. The ACLU is critical of the company, and they make the same claim.
Quote: “The Bondi Beach massacre is just the type of event that earnest Right-wingers have cited for years to argue that Jews and whites have common interests in opposing Islamic immigration and terrorism in white countries. Oddly enough, the Australian political establishment—which is highly sensitive to Jewish opinion—doesn’t see things that way. Instead, Australia’s leaders have blamed the massacre not on Muslims but on guns and racist white people.”
Well, in that case me must assume that those earnest Right-wingers are mistaken, mustn’t we? This would mean that only whites, not Jews, are interested in opposing Islamic immigration and terrorism in white countries.
A mere two to three days after the Bondi shooting, a new advert appeared on Australian television. The first thing you see is a badly spray painted swastika on a brick wall, followed by a procession of some sort of media people that we’re supposed to know, each saying “No more racism, No more anti-semitism” etc. One of them even says “NO more islamophobia”. Of course there is some sort of “no more hate” hashtag that you can follow.
This came out so quick, one wonders whether the authorities had one ready for use when the moment arrived, considering the amount of people involved to produce it.
And I saw one of the fools in that ad was Jackie O’s host Kyle Sandilands. I don’t believe for a second he sincerely believes any of that hogwash messaging from the clips I’ve seen of him over the years. Needed the money or pressured to from above, perhaps?
I agree with Greg.
Trump: “Rob Reiner & wife passed away due to the *anger* he caused others…[due to his TDS]”
Eyeroll. Trump’s gotta blame feelings + make it all about himself.
It’s okay to be relieved that a rival is ‘in another place’, but nobody deserves to be brutally murdered by their offspring. He could have offered a universally accepted truth: “These untimely deaths were likely due in part to fentanyl abuse, which we must work to put an end to.” Trump’s no JD Vance when it comes to public speaking.
Yes, Uncle S, I did notice that obnoxious blight on our landscape. There’s no bloody way he believes in any of this bullshit. He wouldn’t even care at all about anyone apart from himself. But he is getting paid.
Anyway, I hope you and your family had a ‘cohesive’ Yuletide Unc!
