Random News and Notes 13 January
We start this edition of RNN on a very sad note.
Scott Adams, conservative activist and Dilbert creator has passed. Scott was open about his struggles with pancreatic cancer, but did not let it slow him much. His last livestream was just a couple of days ago, and he announced the end was nigh.
His death was publicly announced by his first ex-wife, Shelly Miles. She revealed the news during a live stream on his long-running podcast/show “Real Coffee with Scott Adams” this morning. Adams had been open about his diagnosis since May 2025, sharing updates on his podcast about the cancer spreading to his bones, paralysis, and a grim prognosis. In his final period, he reportedly converted to Christianity and left a message for followers noting that his body failed before his mind.
Scott Adams was 68.
Resquiecat in Pace.
Bill Clinton just made an unforced error. He failed to appear before the House after being subpoenaed in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein mess.
He – and Kankles – seem to think this DOJ is the same DOJ that let them skate on so many other things in the past. That is not the case. More, the referral from the House has already been sent out. It is too much to hope there will finally be some sort of consequences for the Clintons?
In a move that really surprised nobody, the Trump administration has ended the temporary protected status of nearly all Somalis in the US under that program. That means several thousand of the low IQ, brother marrying, goat f*ckers will have to leave.
The TPS for the Somalis is set to end 18 March.
This next one is both funny AF and a bit sad. The video below was taken at an ICE protest in Minneapolis on January 12. A retarded demonstrator shoves a megaphone into a counter-protester’s ear for over a minute, leading the man—waving an American flag—to retaliate by knocking down multiple protesters in quick succession. Megaphone man – AKA red jacket guy – gets it twice.
Clearly, none of the anti-ICE protesters have had any idea of what it feels like to get punched in the f*cking face by a grown ass man. A bunch of them do now.
Now, the sad part? Not one counter-protester is stepping up to help the flag guy. Not that he needed it, he laid out everyone who stepped to him, but still. And to top it all off, it looks like he caught charges over the deal. I doubt they will stick, the megaphone in the ear like that is assault, even in Minnesota, so it looks to be self defense, or at the very worst, mutual combat. This editor will be tracking the case to see how it works out.
Does this mean action is imminent? One can only hope. The President has announced the ‘negotiations’ between the US and the Islamic Republic of Iran are done – before they really got started. He also tells the protesters that help is coming and to take names.
This editor tries to keep an eye out for any unusual aircraft/ship/troop movements in times like these, and frankly he dropped the ball yesterday. There were some unusual flights of C-17s into and out of Al Udeid in Qatar over the weekend. But if anything happened yesterday?
The Ayatollahs have continued their internet blackout – going on 100 hours – and power is still cut to large swathes of Iran. The protests continue, and are growing and spreading – at least as far as we can tell. At last report, there were large protests in all 31 Iranian provinces and the protesters controlled large parts of Tehran and nearly all of the 3rd largest city in Iran, Isfahan.
