Back in 2023, a legless man in California, who had attacked someone with a butcher knife, hopped out of his wheelchair, with knife still in hand, and attempted to flee police on his amputated stumps. As a half dozen police walked slowly behind the suspect, and with more on the way, the perp suddenly turned and made a motion toward police. The police shot and killed the double amputee. I say it all the time, the police have a tough job, especially in urban centers, but the vid

To me, this is today's greatest living artist: I don't know his real name, but he goes by LP-Edits (UK) online and that guy is a genius. I don't know if he makes more money selling his paintings, or more money taping the process he uses to create his paintings, but I love that guy's art AND his process. When it comes to writing, I believe that AI is cheating. I do use it on occasion, but I quote it like a person. Not a specific person, mind you, but instead of saying "conven

Back in the year 2020, from Beacon of Speech: "I admit it, I liked the Indians name. Will I stop watching baseball because the Dolans changed the name? No, but almost everyone is missing the point. The nickname of the Indians was symbolic of free speech in America. Today you gave up some of your free speech rights." Idiots on the Left changed the names of sports mascots. Idiots on the Right changed the names of bodies of water. On the record, the Indians should still be the

Way, way back in 2014, Metallurg Magnitogorsk defeated HC LEV Praha in Game 7 of the Gagarin Cup Finals. The KHL (Континентальная хоккейная лига) was at its strongest point in their history and had come out of the 2014 Sochi Olympics with momentum. The KHL was 28 teams strong with a presence in 8 different countries playing a high level of hockey. When it comes to competing against the NHL, you could argue that the smallest gap between the KHL and the NHL, strength-wise, was

Earlier today, Donald Trump renamed Lake Ontario. The new name? Lake America. I am so sick of this idiotic renaming game. For the last decade, the Woke Left played this game, then, in the past few years, Donald Trump has taken the renaming fad to an absurd new level--- This just in at Reason: Trump Threatens To Demolish Kennedy Center Unless He Can Put His Name on It You know what? We wish we had the power to rename things at Beacon of Speech. Back when I was a kid, the story

According to Newsweek; List of Putin Critics Who Have Died in Mysterious Circumstances Alexei Navalny- Age: 47 Alexander Litvinenko - Age 44 Mikhail Lesin - Age: 57 Boris Nemtsov - Age: 55 Boris Berezovsky - Age: 67 Sergei Magnitsky - Age: 37 Stanislav Markelov - Age: 34 Anastasia Baburova - Age: 25 Natalia Estemirova - Age: 50 Anna Politkovskaya - Age: 48 Yuri Shchekochikhin - Age 53 Each death that passed was linked to Putin, with no proof that he actually ordered it. When

Over at Bluesky, I keep seeing "Release the Files" posts, at least, once a day. Sorry to be that guy, but semantically, it should be "Release ALL the Files." Of course the reference is to the Epstein Files. According to AI: Total Pages: ~3.5 million pages made public (out of roughly 6 million initially collected and reviewed). Additional Media: More than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. Withheld/Redacted Material: Roughly 2.5 million collected pages were withheld due to dupli

In the NBA, NFL, and NHL, predicting an upcoming season is much harder, all those leagues have a salary cap In the Premier League, they have Financial Fair Play rules, which are really just suggestions that everyone ignores. (Especially Manchester City.) But the secret as to who will win the next season is based on who spends the most. <gasp> With that being said, it is not an exact science. In 2023-2024, we did a really nice job of predicting the future. In 2024-2025, not so

At my day job today, I was madder than I've been for years, didn't even look at the news until 8 PM at night, too, too busy putting out fires. Then I saw this story at the Daily Star: Prince Harry and Meghan's UK Return Partly Driven by 'Dislike' of US President Trump GOOD! Good riddance to spoiled, no-talent brats. The literal Prince of England quit his job to follow his D-List Celebrity Wife to America and failed to market their brand of whining about their Rich Privilege?

Last week, Tucker Carlson rolled out of bed and dropped a 10 Point "Manifesto." We are not going to debate, or expand, on the missive, simply give you the bullet points. Why just a brief overview? Because it's a moot point. According to Carlson, America should be: Fair Sovereign Productive Beautiful Healthy Honest Optimistic Wise Decent United Written like it was penned by a naive 19 year old college student, Carlson is trying to sell you some vague Americana, which is just r

Jayden Daniels was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the year in 2024 for the Washington Commanders. After an injury-filled 2025 season, the Commanders have high hopes for him in the upcoming year. From FoxSports: Jayden Daniels Remains Stellar in Training Camp and Has Commanders Dreaming Big. But that Commanders story is a local story, Daniels is in the national spotlight for a far less dignified reason. From ESPN: Daniels Sends Cease and Desist to LSU after Pickett Given No. 5. A

Back in 2025, we proclaimed that Static-X was in the Big Four....of Nu Metal. That's like proclaiming what your favorite type of cake is. Nu Metal was nothing but sugary fun. I rarely think of Static-X nowadays, Wayne Static has been dead for over a decade and the other 3 original members are touring with the lead singer of Dope wearing a death mask. Editor's Note: Yes, it took us a bit to warm up to the concept, but the reviews for the live show were surprisingly positive. W

We readily admit our shortcomings at Beacon of Speech. One of our failures is using the tabloid the Daily Mail (UK) as a source or as story inspiration on rare occasions. We don't like TMZ, the National Enquirer is long gone, but the Daily Mail usually breaks big entertainment news faster than anyone. But in terms of quality, they are sloppy, and on some occasions, just flat out wrong. If they have earth-shattering breaking news, I often go to "real" news sources to confirm.

My favorite band of all time is Alice Donut. I'd like to think of myself as their biggest fan, but everyone knows that their biggest fan was Chet, star of the Mrs. Hayes video. God Bless him in his next journey, rockin' out to Alice Donut in the afterlife. The cover of Alice Donut's Mule Alice Donut fans have reported the passing with few details. We will respect Chet's privacy. Chet's last appearance with Alice Donut? In February of 2026 at the San Francisco reunion shows: A

John Dies at the End was a webserial back at the beginning of the 2000's. Jason Pargin (David Wong) parlayed that success into a paperback of the same name in 2007. John Dies at the End became an acclaimed cult classic film in the year 2012. Pargin just published his fifth book in his John and Dave series: There Are No Giant Crabs in This Novel: A Novel of Giant Crabs But in order to promote his work, Pargin maintains an internet presence at the Author Jason K Pargin Faceboo

Back in 2025, we wrote about Rosie O' Donnell's Rich Privilege. Long story short, she didn't feel safe in America once her nemesis Donald Trump was president again. She fled to Ireland and, our argument was, you can go, but don't come back in a year or two when you get tired of hanging around with the goats on the Potato Farm. According to Page Six, Rosie was back in America this Summer, visiting the Tony Awards. She also claimed that she's been back to America a few times t

Listen, I'm a grown-ass man, I shouldn't be watching so many cartoons-- But I'm ADDICTED, I watch 'em every day, and there are new episodes all summer long. The Simpsons (Disney+): Every month this summer, The Simpsons are dropping "streaming exclusive" episodes at Disney+. You think that's a bit gratuitous after 37 seasons? Next year The Simpsons Movie 2 comes out. President Curtis (HBO Max): For what it is, it's not too bad. What do I mean by that? Another spin-off from th

I am Babe Ruth, standing at home plate, aiming my bat at the bleachers and calling my shot. Yeah, I know it's Tom Behringer calling his shot in Major League, but no photo existed of The Babe calling his shot --- If he even did so at all. According to ESPN: Mauricio Pochettino Signs New Deal to Remain as USMNT Manager - Pochettino's Contract runs through the end of the 2030 World Cup. We 100% guarantee that Pochettino will be managing a club team in Europe to begin the 2027 se

Editor's Note: Working Title: Two Pet Peeves, Mixed Into One Nauseating Flavor In the last 2 days, I have seen, at minimum, 6 different ads for this new Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream flavor. I am not going to try the Change the Whirled Ice Cream, not because of its politics, but because it doesn't sound like something I would like. Let me be clear though, I do not like Colin Kaepernick: Colin Kaepernick Does Not Love Football (2017) Colin Kaepernick Does Not Love Football - Part

On March 3, 2023, according to Fact-Checker Politifact: "Later in the speech, Marjorie Taylor Greene added, “I will look at a camera and directly tell Zelenskyy, ‘You better leave your hands off of our sons and daughters, because they’re not dying over there.’” Why did Politifact have to fact-check Greene? Because the leader of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, never asked for troops, he asked for a mountain of money. Now if you're opposed to sending foreign aide to Ukraine, that

This photo was taken in Ceuta, Spain on Thursday. Now I'm not being glib, I am being dead serious. I want you to play Where's Waldo? I want you to zoom in on the picture until it is blurry and tell me: Where is the Female? Hint: Look Under the Red Arrow Did you find her? You can play the same game: France24 Al Jazeera BBC Univision CBC I kept seeing the number of immigrants in this wave as 60,000. Why is it important that the number of women and children is nearly non-existen

Some kid named Ethan Schaffer came up with this, using a Filter and pretending to be a dork who loves to review horror movies. (And vape.) Facebook Link Under Screen Shot His Horror Guy character is funnier than anything currently on Saturday Night Live. Facebook Link Under Screen Shot I have watched each one of these Reels at least a dozen times and laughed every single time. Facebook Link Under Screen Shot For all I know, Ethan Schaffer is making fun of ME. I don't care, he

I came across this meme at a local Facebook Group: First Response in the comments section? Jack P Russell, Ralph Perk, Carl Stokes, and Dennis Kucinich Uh, 4 politicians? I don't think so. Our 4 are in red: Bob Hope: Over 50 feature length films, over 50 USO Tours, over 50 albums and music compilations. First name is a slam dunk. Michael Stanley: Between August 25, 1982 and August 31, 1982, the Michael Stanley Band sold out Blossom Music Center 4 times in a row. That's a rec

Back in 2025, according to AI, "Juries in Connecticut and Texas ordered (Alex) Jones to pay roughly $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion in total damages after he claimed that the (Sandy Hook) tragedy that killed 20 children and six educators was staged." We do not like Alex Jones here at Beacon of Speech, not at all. Our on-the-record opinion is that Jones is nothing more than a snake oil salesman. When Alex Jones lost his website to the Onion, we laughed out loud. Jones losing his
