DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — A homeowner shot a burglar during a home invasion in Susquehanna Township Sunday night, according to police.

Officers with the Susquehanna Township Police Department were called to the home, located in the 4300 block of Mountainview Road, around 10:50 p.m. after receiving reports a suspect was shot during a burglary.

Once on scene, officers provided life-saving care to the suspect, who was identified as Anthony Deimler, 34, of Harrisburg.

My goal in the essay is to use a well-known historical precedent to illustrate the U.S. Federal government’s untenable indebtedness predicament. Spain, 1500-1590 In 1500, the New World had just recently been discovered, and Spain had just recently forced the Moorish invaders from the Iberian Peninsula. Expanding their army, expanding their navy, and the lengthy campaign to kick out the Moors had been expensive for the Spanish crown. They also needed to maintain a large army to keep the Islamic North Africans from returning. There were also the expenses of building and supplying a large fleet of ships, in the …

CBS didn't like this soundtrack, and predicted that the show A Charlie Brown Christmas would be a flop.  It was wildly popular, and the soundtrack won a Grammy.  For obvious reasons.

 This week, we're going through Mon's succession and on Wednesday we got news that a very dear friend of mine had died.  A close friend, the shot with us and would come over occasionally just to hang out in the club house.  He loved Belle's red beans and her dumplings.   When she cooked those, he got an invite and he would come eat lunch with us.

His sons report that he went to bed on Tuesday night and failed to wake up on Wednesday.  Just like that. Gone.

He led a full life.  He was a mechanic, a tinkerer and an entrepreneur. He left a thriving business in his sons hands, and by all accounts, it's doing fine. He started to back-out of the business a couple of years ago and the kids were doing well with it.

In his early days he worked a stint in Antarctica as a maintenance guy.  He had photo evidence that he once peed on a penguin.   The penguin was curious and wandered in too close. He commented that may be the only penguin that had ever felt warm water.

We're going to miss him.

We had an incident in our neighborhood yesterday which seems like it was a couple who were either casing my neighbor, or trying the old "distract the victim with a pretty girl" method of robbery.

Note that my neighborhood is not a high-crime area. There is a fair amount of property crime in our township but it's concentrated at a shopping mall about 1.5 - 2 miles away. Violent crime is rare.

My neighbor called me this morning to give me a heads up on the following.

At about 3:30 PM my neighbor came home from work to find his driveway blocked by an SUV, probably a black Honda Ridgeline. As he pulled up he beeped his horn and they moved forward so he could pull into his driveway.

As my neighbor got out of his truck a woman got out of the Honda. He immediately felt something off but was carrying concealed. He asked if he could help her.

She replied by asking if he wanted to sell his truck, which is a 20-year old Toyota Tacoma 4x2, not exactly something in high demand. This raised further red flags in his mind. After a little more questioning and stuttered replies, she got back in her vehicle and then drove off.

Before she drove off my neighbor was able to see through the Honda's darkly tinted windows that there was someone else inside, who tried to lower himself to avoid being seen.

Neighbor called the police. An officer was nearby and was over in about a minute to take a statement. He agreed that they were casing the house or looking to distract my neighbor while the second person in the Honda tried to get into the house.

I have a Ring Doorbell at my front door and a Ring Stick Up camera that covers my driveway and the street in front of my neighbor. They did capture the Honda on video. However, the video from my driveway camera was not able to resolve its license plate due to distance.

My neighbor has been looking into getting security cameras and more external lighting. This incident got him to stop procrastinating and he is now going to move forward. I'm probably going to augment my exterior security stuff as well.

I put together a list of the cameras and exterior solar lighting I have so my neighbor has a starting point for his own system. It's in a Google Sheet which I've shared from my G Drive, here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CS6mvUdXwghgEi8iP9QDSePdnUr_TxGVmWE9EUWO6RQ/edit?usp=sharing

Edit: Another neighbor captured some better quality video. Looks like it may be a late model Toyota Tundra. 

Edit 2: We got a better quality pic and ran that through ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Both IDed the truck as a third-gen Toyota Tundra.

Velasco was taken into custody and booked into the Ada County Jail. Further investigation led officers to a Boise hotel room linked to the case, where they found approximately 12,785 grams of methamphetamine and 101 grams of fentanyl powder. Both substances tested presumptive positive.

"This seizure represents a major disruption to the flow of dangerous drugs into our community," said Boise Police Lt. Terry Weir. "The amount of fentanyl recovered in this case is enough to kill over 500 people. Our officers see firsthand how methamphetamine and fentanyl contribute to overdoses, and this case highlights the importance of proactive policing and strong investigative work."

12/2/25 CNBC:

A slew of new supply is still making its way through the multifamily housing market. That, coupled with weakening demand, especially from the youngest workers, is pushing vacancies up and rents down. 

The national median rent for apartments fell 1% in November from October, and now stands at $1,367, according to Apartment List. It was the fourth consecutive month-over-month decline. Apartment rents are down 1.1% from November 2024 and have fallen 5.2% from their 2022 peak. 

"Earlier this year, it appeared that annual growth was on track to flip positive for the first time since mid-2023; however, that rebound stalled out and reversed course during a particularly slow summer," according to Apartment List researchers.

After hitting a record high for this index, which dates back to 2017, in October, the national multifamily vacancy rate remained at 7.2% in November. 

The historic surge in multifamily construction over the past few years is now pulling back, but a good supply of new units is still coming online at a time of much weaker demand.

The stack of articles about dropping rental rates around the country here is good news everywhere.

The post Rump Derangement Syndrome? first appeared on The War on Guns.

In the winter of 2014, an adult female wolf was found, dead, in northern Minnesota, on the Grand Portage Indian Reservation. When the necropsy was performed, the cause of death was determined to be from a single wound from an ordinary pellet gun. Described as "low powered", the pellet was almost certainly either .177 or .22 caliber.  While this incident occurred in 2014, this correspondent only learned of it this year. Ordinary pellet guns have been powerful enough to kill humans and even a black bear.

The wolf was a lone female which had been driven out of the pack on Isle Royale. It had a radio collar as part of the Isle Royale study. Researchers said the wolf had almost been killed, twice, in fights with another female wolf, presumably, to keep her out of the pack. During the winter, ice had allowed the wolf to reach the mainland, 18 miles from Isle Royale.

It was suspected the wolf was shot not far from where it was found on the Indian Reservation. Investigators speculated the shot was intended to drive the wolf away, rather than to kill it. The pellet entered between two ribs and punctured an artery, leading to death. The Isle Royal pack was on the edge of extinction, with only 8 members left in 2014. It was reduced to one animal by 2019. The moose population was also down, as it had nearly eliminated aspen on the island, subsisting on the far less nutritious balsam pine.

The wolf probably weighed about 70 lbs. Wolves are not particularly hard to kill. A .22 rimfire in the same area would have easily penetrated wolf ribs if the bullet encountered them, causing serious bleeding in the thoracic cavity. Death usually occurs within minutes. A penetration of the abdominal cavity usually leads to death withing days from sepsis.

Wolf skulls are easily penetrated by a typical .22 long rifle bullet at ordinary velocities. Wolves are not hard to kill if a hunter can put a bullet into them. Wolves learn rapidly, and become very difficult to see when they are hunted. They learn what people are dangerous, and who is not. They learn men are much more dangerous than women and children.

This excellent video of an interview with Greg Jones, who became a professional wolf hunter in Idaho, is a treasure of information about wolf behavior and the results of the introduction of grey wolves into Idaho.  When wolves are hunted and/or trapped, they quickly learn techniques to avoid hunters and to avoid traps. They remember the scent of individual hunters and associate it with their techniques.

For defense against wolves who do not fear humans, almost any firearm will work. A pistol is easiest to carry. Wolves seldom press the attack against humans if members of the pack are wounded or killed. If the wolves have been hunted, a gunshot will likely scare them off. The key to defense is the willingness to shoot the wolf. Any wolf which is not afraid of people should be killed. This is how the wolves learn to respect people, and to avoid them. When a member of a pack is killed, the rest of the pack learns from the event. Even if none are near the event, they will find the remains and associate the scent of humans with the death of the wolf.

Wolves will almost always become known before they attack in earnest. They are testing the new human prey to determine if it is dangerous. This is the best time to shoot wolves to drive them off. The prominent wildlife biologist Valerius Geist described the process in detail.

In the case of the female wolf killed with a pellet gun in northern Minnesota, the wolf came from Isle Royal, with little human habitation in winter. Fixed human houses were likely a new phenomena to the wolf.

Wolves multiply to fill up available habitat. The female wolf was driven from shrinking habitat on Isle Royal. Wolves in the lower 48 are rapidly filling up available habitat and destroying game populations in the process. People who have to live with wolves soon realize they are bad neighbors. The re-introduction of wolves in the lower 48 will be recorded as one of the worst game management debacles in the history of game management.

Through the investigation, police said they learned that a woman had been playing the "game-of-chance" machines inside when three armed suspects entered the store and tried to rob it.

According to investigators, the woman was shot after she tried to defend herself by drawing a legally concealed firearm. 

When officers arrived at the scene, they found the woman with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers gave her first aid until EMS arrived and took her to a Pittsburgh-area hospital. She is in stable condition, police said.

“The average squatter,” says James Jacobs, “has no melee experience.”

No familiarity with katana swords or other bladed weaponry. No training in kendo, iaido, or other martial arts. 

If anyone knows the typical combat background of a squatter, a person living in a home illegally, it’s Jacobs. He runs a company called ASAP Squatter Removal, offering do-it-himself eviction services to property owners throughout the Bay Area.

Say a homeowner or bank or landlord discovers somebody occupying their property without authorization. They could call the police, though officers might not come. Police tend to shy away from tenancy disputes, leaving them to the civil courts. The property owner could go ahead and file an eviction lawsuit, but that can drag on for months. 

Or they can call Jacobs. 

For a fee, Jacobs will surveil the place and force out the people inside of it using a complex concoction of homespun arms and militarized tactics.

This is not a new problem.  I knew someone in San Jose in the 1980s who had a problem with squatters who took over his cabin in Sana Cruz.  The police were no help.

I suppose if the owner was not actually using it for himself or as a rental and the squatter was not actively damaging the property, I can see how progressives might persuade themselves that homeless squatters are just doing social justice.  But squatters seldom treat such homes well.

He isn’t half as retarded as the system that makes such stories predictably inevitable. “Juvenile” would say “Hold my beer” on arrests if he were old enough to have beer and his name wasn’t withheld to protect him from consequences of being a congential parasite.

This is one of the most lovely carols ever recorded. 

A homeowner who shot and killed one of four men suspected of breaking into his home in Richmond Heights on Saturday told CBS News Miami that it was the "scariest moment" of his life....

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue came to the scene and rushed the injured suspect, later identified as 26-year-old Quanterry Alvin Whitley, to the hospital, where he later died....

CBS News Miami spoke with Lashundia Jackson, the mother of Whitley. She said the homeowner should never have fired his weapon.

I would like to say he did not do a home invasion. That is inaccurate. That is not who he is. That is not who he was. He would not do that. He was not that type of person," Jackson said of her son." [Stupid names emphasized]

 What the hell is going on down there?  I'm seeing reporting that Trump has closed the airspace over the country and that there is an aircraft carrier battle group steaming close by.

Also, the Seditious Six are going crazy. Something about a drug boat that took two strikes to kill.

I also heard one report that Maduro has un-assed the country, heading toward Brazil, but that was unconfirmed. I also heard reports of B-52s and B-2s sortieing.   Seems like it is getting kind of  sporty down there.

It reminds me of the runup to Panama back in 1989.  That was in December, too, come to think of it.

Use poetry.  No, really:

In a new paper, “Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large Language Models,” researchers found that turning LLM prompts into poetry resulted in jailbreaking the models

...

Poetic framing achieved an average jailbreak success rate of 62% for hand-crafted poems and approximately 43% for meta-prompt conversions (compared to non-poetic baselines), substantially outperforming non-poetic baselines and revealing a systematic vulnerability across model families and safety training approaches.

Whoops.  Looks, this is a new class of attack (seriously, I've been in this biz for a long time and have never seen weaponized verse before), so maybe we need to cut folks some slack here.  But I'm somewhat less inclined to do so with AI's track record of falling for 30 year old attacks.

"But as a high school senior in 2009, Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, claimed another label when he applied to Columbia University.

"From day 21 to day 100 in a nursing facility, Medicare continues to contribute towards in-patient rehabilitation, but coinsurance payments are typically required from you. Additional coverage for days 21 through 100 depends on your Medicare supplemental or Medicare Advantage plans.

"Once you reach day 101 or plateau in rehab, Medicare coverage for nursing home care ceases. You are responsible for all costs (easily $300-500 per day in Florida) unless you have additional insurance policies or qualify for other programs such as Medicaid. This can be a critical juncture, necessitating a review of your financial resources and possibly the need to explore alternative long-term care options."
