The Left is typically opposed to freedom‚ except on the gravest social issues‚ like abortion. The freedom to kill a baby is sacrosanct. On Monday night‚ Rachel Maddow unloaded another pro-abortion rant‚ flagrantly comparing German and Italian fascists to Supreme Court justices like Gorsuch‚ Kavanaugh‚ and Barrett. The news item inspiring this was the electoral defeat of the conservative Law and Justice Party in Poland‚ who have been intolerably anti-abortion in MSNBC's eyes.  MADDOW; Anti-democratic‚ pro-authoritarian movements the world over and throughout history always stomp on reproductive rights! In some cases they mandate forced abortions like in China. More often‚ like with the law and justice party in Poland‚ it's an abortion ban. Right? And in either case‚ you get the point‚ reproductive freedom cannot be tolerated. Heaven forbid a woman decides on her own whether or not she wants to have a baby. Maddow is referring to Heaven‚ without the notion that perhaps God opposes abortion. If so‚ He is anti-democratic and pro-authoritarian. MADDOW: It's a government decision to force you to give birth or not regardless of what you want or what's good for you. It is an authoritarian project everywhere there is authoritarian governments. In Vichy France‚ when France was occupied by the Nazis and controlled by the collaborationist Vichy regime. Vichy authorities in France took the time – you’d think they might have something else to worry about --  they took the time in July 1943 to guillotine a woman‚ to execute a woman by guillotine in 1943‚ for the crime of performing abortions. Abortion was not just illegal‚ it was punishable by the death penalty when France was occupied by the Nazis. That law was only dropped when France was liberated by the allies. Germany itself only last year repealed a Nazi-era law that banned German doctors from providing information about abortions. They finally got rid of that last year. In fascist Italy‚ abortion had already been against the law before he came to power‚ but when Mussolini became the fascist dictator of Italy‚ he aggressively criminalized it. He made any woman who got an abortion subject to five years at hard labor. Heaven forbid that a woman be free to decide on her own terms if she wants to have a baby. Then‚ in a somehow natural turn from German Nazis and Italian fascists‚ Maddow turned to Trump’s America: In the Trump presidency‚ Republicans finally succeeded in their machinations to stack the U.S. Supreme Court with hardline anti-abortion conservatives‚ and then they were able to get through the policy they most wanted. They overturned Roe v. Wade‚ and that allowed Republican-controlled states all over the country to ban abortion. Then‚ she lamented‚ pro-life states are taking it further. Missouri wants women seeking abortions to be charged with homicide‚ and murder charges could lead to capital punishment. She claimed "In Ohio‚ a young woman is newly facing criminal charges for having had a miscarriage at home." (The dead child was left in the toilet.) She introduced a new segment on the pro-abortion side's latest empathetic anecdote‚ Texas mother Kate Cox‚ who was prevented from having a late-term abortion of a "non-viable fetus" that Maddow said could "potentially save her life." Cox left the state to get her abortion‚ after serving as a plaintiff for the abortion advocates at the Center for Reproductive Rights. Maddow said Cox's case "has played out over these last few days as a Republican fantasy of how they would most like to wield really‚ really‚ really‚ really big government." They're libertarians on one issue.

A man and a woman were arrested by Minnesota police after an alleged home intruder was shot and killed at their home in St. Paul early Monday morning. The St. Paul Police Department said that the woman who lived at the home in the Hamline-Midway neighborhood called 911 to report a home intruder. While she was on the phone with police‚ a man got on the call and told police he had shot the intruder numerous times on their front porch. The man who was shot also called police and told them that he was dying. He did not respond to questions and the call went silent‚ according to police. When police arrived at the residence on Englewood Avenue at about 1:45 a.m.‚ they found the man with gunshot injuries on the porch. The man was transported to Regions Hospital where he was later declared dead. On Tuesday‚ the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office identified him as 35-year-old Drew Johnson. Police spokesman Sgt. Mike Ernster said that the couple refused to be interviewed by police about the incident. After investigating the matter‚ police arrested the man and woman on suspicion of second-degree murder. The couple were booked into the Ramsey County jail and later released. The man is 30 years old while the woman is 35 years old. The woman initially told police on the 911 call that she knew the man who was allegedly trying to break into her home. Investigators said in a statement that they are "working to determine the circumstances that led to this shooting." Police said the shooting death was the 32nd homicide in the city so far this year.

A Missouri man was attacked with a machete after he confronted a man he believed sold drugs to his wife that led to her death‚ according to St. Louis Police. The Hazelwood Police Department said that 41-year-old Terence Kimbrough of Florissant used a machete on Dec. 3 to attack a man who was staying at the Haven Inn and Suites located on North Hanley Road in Hazelwood. The victim says that the two got into an argument and Kimbrough allegedly punched him in the face before grabbing a machete in the room and hitting him over the head several times. Kimbrough allegedly admitted to investigators that he had cut the victim several times but claimed that the victim had assaulted him first. Police said they arrested Kimbrough at the hotel and were able to recover a machete from the room. The victim was treated at an area hospital for numerous injuries to his head‚ including a deep wound to the back of his head. Kimbrough was given a $150‚000 cash-only bond by a St. Louis court. He was charged with first-degree assault‚ a class-B felony‚ and armed criminal action. Kimbrough faces 15 years in prison for the assault if convicted and another three years for armed criminal action.Hazelwood is a suburb of St. Louis with about a population of 25‚000.

Nationally‚ homicides were down by about 12% during the same time period.

One of my favorite features on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro is the ability to create AI-generated wallpapers. Now‚ it seems Google will pull that feature over to Chrome by introducing AI-generated themes. The first sighting of AI-generated themes making an appearance in Chrome comes from X (formerly Twitter) user Leopeva64. The user says they dove deep into some of the new code found within Google Chrome Canary‚ the testbed for Google's browser. Within that code‚ Leopeva64 says they found evidence of a system that lets you create AI-generated themes. Based on images shared on X‚ Chrome users will be able to choose from various subjects such as landscapes‚ food‚ materials‚ nature‚ rooms‚ science and technology‚ vehicles‚ wonders‚ and more. https://twitter.com/Leopeva64/status/1732310886272901441 From there‚ you'll also be able to customize your AI-generated themes by choosing optional details from things such as 3D animation‚ abstract‚ cyberpunk‚ dream‚ fantasy‚ and more. You'll also be able to choose different colors‚ as well as other optional details like orderly‚ romantic‚ chaotic‚ and so on down the list. It is important to note that all of these options are based on code found within the Canary version of Chrome. As such‚ it may not reflect the final product that Google may or may not ship to Chrome sometime in the future. Considering Google's push for AI‚ though‚ it is highly likely that we'll see this feature appear in a future Chrome update within the next few months. If you're rearing to try the feature‚ there is unfortunately no way to play around with it just yet that I could find. I couldn't find where to enable the feature in Canary‚ and nothing online seems to indicate a way to get it working beyond digging through the code yourself. Instead‚ it seems we'll need to wait for an official announcement from Google about AI-generated themes. Based on past updates to the Chrome browser‚ though‚ it's likely the feature will be available in some capacity within the first quarter of 2024‚ so it shouldn't take more than a few months to see something solid.
