Russell Brand Sentenced to Ten and a Half Years in Prison Over Rape Allegedly Taking Place in 2004

This seems like a lot.

I'll explain that in a bit.

Comedian Russell Brand was sentenced Monday in the United Kingdom to 10 and a half years in prison for raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.

In his sentencing remarks, Judge Joel Bennathan said that Brand showed a "casual and arrogant disregard" for women denying him consent, the Associated Press reported.

In the course of his rise to stardom, Bennathan said, Brand became a "sexual predator."

This is another case of Two-Tier Justice.

Do you remember Henry Nowack? He was stabbed to death by an immigrant with a knife and stabbing fetish who lied to police and claimed Nowack Did a Racism and so deserved to die. The police chatted amiably with the non-stabbed "victim" of necessary anti-racist stabbing as the literal life oozed out of Henry Nowack's body.

He did not admit to cops that he'd stabbed the man and was dying on the street from blood loss. He compounded the stabbing by continuing to hide the fact that he'd stabbed the "racist," letting the man die without medical attention.

That asshole got... the absolute minimum of 21 years for race murder. And there's no question of his guilt.

Just double what Brand got for an alleged "historic rape" from 22 years ago.

I bring that up, because that immigrant race-murderer was just in court complaining that his sentence was too harsh. He wanted to halve the sentence -- down to ten and a half years, what the usefully-white Russell Brand got.

In a minor bit of good news, the court not only rejected his plea, but added four years to his sentence calling the earlier Two Tier Justice sentence "unduly lenient."

But it's still just twenty five years for a man who went out hunting a native citizen to murder and who then distracted cops with his hallucinatory Tale of Racial Woe.

⚖️ Henry Nowak's killer asked for less time in prison and the Court of Appeal added four years to his minimum term.

Vickrum Digwa was serving life for stabbing 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak to death in Southampton when two challenges to his sentence came before the Court of Appeal this week.

Digwa argued that the 21-year minimum was too long, while Attorney General Ellie Reeves had asked the judges to increase it because she considered it too low for the crime.

Both arguments came back to what Digwa did on the street where Henry was walking home.

The two men were strangers, and Digwa was carrying a large dagger in a sheath on the outside of his clothes when they met.

After a brief encounter, Digwa drew the blade and stabbed Henry repeatedly.

Digwa then filmed Henry as he tried to get away and kept filming as he lay dying.

He told his mother, Kiran Kaur, to remove the knife, and he repeatedly lied to the police officers who arrived.

The appeal judges said the original sentence gave too little weight to two things.

The first was how Digwa used a large blade he already had to hand to kill an unarmed man.

The second was the cruelty he inflicted on Henry after the stabbing and the steps he took to obstruct the investigation.

That distinction mattered because the appeal judges agreed the trial judge could start at 15 years when working out the minimum term.

A higher starting point applies when someone takes a knife to the scene intending to commit a crime, and the trial judge found that Digwa had carried the dagger there without that intention.

The appeal judges accepted that finding and gave much greater weight to what Digwa actually did with the weapon and how he treated Henry afterwards.

They put the minimum term at 25 years, with credit for the 175 days Digwa had already spent in custody before sentencing, and refused him permission to appeal against the sentence.

Once Digwa has served the minimum term, the Parole Board can consider whether he can safely be released.

Any release would come with conditions for the rest of his life, and he could be sent back to prison if he broke them.

Henry's family is also dealing with a separate release decision involving the person who took the knife away.

Kaur was sentenced to three years for helping Digwa by hiding the weapon, and she is expected to leave prison early in December, around the first anniversary of Henry's death.

The Home Office has commissioned an independent review that will examine what the prison and probation service told the family about Kaur's early release.

Henry's father, Mark Nowak, put the timing plainly: "She'll be out for Christmas, and I won't have Christmas with Henry."

Below: I think this smug simpleton is called James O'Brien. I wouldn't have heard of him, except the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters talk about him a lot. He is one of the many hard-left "liberals" who is insanely and smugly wrong about every single issue and fact.

Ooof: Trump Says His Immigration Policy Was Too Tough, Seeks Some Kind of... Comprehensive Reform

On one hand, I expected a softening. I floated the idea that if Trump had softened on the immigration raids the summer before the election, the GOP might have done a little better. (Emphases on "might" and "a little.")

And who knows: This may be necessary to stop the Democrats from winning it all in 2028 and packing the country floor to rafters with immigrants (and immediately giving them full voting rights).

But on the other hand: this is a disaster.

I guess it depends on how serious Trump is about this.

Calling this a reversal is a pretty big understatement. Aside from tariffs, there has been no more consistent policy position in the Trump administration than "deport them all," and now Trump is suggesting that he can work with the Democrats on an amnesty bill that would normalize illegal aliens who have been here for some period of time -- say 10-15 years.

Trump on his immigration policy:

Trump: "I think it both helped and hurt. I think I got an A+ for closing up the border. I get very high marks for getting the bad ones out. But I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs, that-- that created one violation, or breaking of the law, and that was that they came into the country illegally."

Douthat: "So you think your deportation policy--" / "Went too far--"
Trump: "Too tough."
Douthat: "It was too tough?"
Trump: "I think it might be too tough, yeah."

Videos at the link.

People have said that Trump is an example of A/B market testing on the presidential level. He's constantly talking and pitching policy choices. He doesn't know if he'll follow through or not. He listens for the audience reaction to decide on "A" or "B."

That's mostly been good for us.

But there is a down side, and we may be seeing it now.

I've also heard that people with agendas always want to be the last person to talk to Trump, because his beliefs are often formed by the last person he talked with.

I guess John Thune and Co. were the last people he talked to.

Hello friends. I hope you are enjoying this cold and bright fall day.

THE MORNING RANT: Tesla Pulls the Plug on its Failed Cybertruck Because There’s No Mass Market for EV Pickups

Tesla’s electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck, was announced in 2019 with great fanfare. It was touted as the electric “F150-slayer.” Hundreds of thousands of pre-orders were registered. The anti-carbon media swooned (this was before Elon Musk aligned with Republicans and Donald Trump) and legacy auto manufacturers panicked and started developing their own electric pickup trucks.

The Cybertruck finally went on sale in late 2023. It was a flop of legendary proportions. A few days ago, Elon Musk finally announced that he is pulling the plug on Tesla’s electric pickup truck.

“Tesla to pull the plug on Cybertruck after years of poor sales” [Reuters – 11/06/2026]

Elon Musk had predicted sales of 250,000 Cybertrucks per year, and that it would take on the Ford F150 as the dominant domestic pickup truck. Since the Cybertruck went on sale a little over three years ago, only 73,000 have been sold cumulatively. Sales peaked in 2024 at just 39k units, dropping to 20K in 2025, and tracking even lower in 2026.

In October 2026, Tesla sold less than 2,000 Cybertrucks while Ford sold more than 73,000 F150s, none of which were electric. (Ford sold exactly zero units of its recently-discontinued electric F150 Conflagration Lightning pickup in October.)

Musk and Tesla have been wildly successful selling electric vehicles as a daily commuter car to upscale professionals, especially those who own a house in which they can install a home charger. As a percentage of the light vehicle marketplace, it’s not a huge niche, but it still represents a lot of car buyers, and Tesla dominates it. A great many of the people whose station in life once steered them toward BMW, Mercedes, and Volvo are now driving Teslas. But they also tend to have at least one gas-powered vehicle in their garage.

Pickup trucks have a much different driver demographic. The upscale person who wants a pickup might already have a Tesla as his daily driver, so he chooses a gasoline-powered King Ranch F150 (or similar competitor offering) that can serve any pickup purpose, while still conveying affluence. For a person whose only vehicle is a pickup truck, however, the Cybertruck was not an option at all.

Despite the emphatic market rejection of electric pickups over the past few years, including the cancellation of the much-hyped flagships from Tesla and Ford, several more electric pickups have been announced. These include the Scout (owned by Volkswagen,) and the Slate from an investment group involving Jeff Bezos. Ford has also decided to lose several billion dollars more with yet another soon-to-fail electric pickup, the Fathom .

The new electric pickup companies are already hyping their pre-orders, with Scout and Slate both announcing they’ve taken deposits for more than 150k “reservations.” Unfortunately, pre-orders and reservations have a poor track record of converting into actual sales.

In Nov 2019, it was announced that 250,000 people had already put down deposits to pre-order a Cybertruck. As noted above, not even 75,000 Cybertrucks were actually delivered over three years before Tesla pulled the plug.

In 2021, Ford took deposits on almost 200,000 reservations for its F150 Lightning before closing new reservations due to “excessive demand.” Based on media buzz and all those pre-orders, Ford projected annual sales in excess of 150k electric pickup trucks per year. It barely sold 100k in total over the next five years, despite massive discounting to make the glut of unsellable Lightnings go away. The pre-orders had evaporated.

There has not been a commercially successful electric pickup truck because there is neither a market for one, nor a practical need. But like conquistadors in pursuit of the gold of Cibola, mismanaged auto manufacturers keep chasing the imaginary riches from a mass-market electric pickup. They are doomed to failure. If Elon Musk and Tesla couldn’t succeed in this market, it’s because the market doesn’t exist.

The Morning Report — 11/9 /26

Good morning kids. Hope you all had a pleasant, peaceful, relaxing weekend and a chance to forget for at least a short while the nightmare we woke up to last Wednesday. Sorry to say that coming here and of course elsewhere across the conservative blogosphere, that nightmarish reality still dominates as you can see from the vast majority of links. I did not have a chance to go back to inspect previous entries to compare with the immediate aftermath of the past few elections but I suspect they were equally chock full o'links with post election analysis for several days if not entire news cycles. Of course this go round we have the Democrat/Left Propaganda Complex doing the moral equivalent of passing out candy and ululating in orgasmic glee at the site of the smoldering ruins of the Twin Towers on 9/11/01.

Among the essays are a couple in which the authors are stating that perhaps the horrendous defeat we suffered might be just the tonic we need to revitalize the movement and actually take back the nation going forward. While it certainly is true that the disaster that was the Carter presidency did indeed lead to the two terms of Ronald Reagan but the fecklessness and failure of George H.W. Bush did bring about two terms of Bill Clinton and then the Dubya years which then brought about Obama. And of course that nightmare, which at the time was certainly as horrifying as what we witnessed last week brought about the miracle victories of Donald Trump.

Yes the Bushes, McCains and Romneys along with the entirety of the GOP-e are indeed a complete turnoff to the majority of sane, normal Americans, which we have lamented and rightly so for years now, it still makes absolutely no sense given what the Democrats have historically been and this go round their open embrace of the most anti-American radicalism and Islam makes their survival and indeed the victories of the Clintons, Obama and Biden that much more a puzzler to me. Yes the GOP to put it mildly sucks. But if you're served a heaping plate of braised pus will you demand the waiter take it back and give you a cup of rat poison to make up for it?

So, getting back to those saying what happened last Tuesday will ultimately lead to restoration and revival, well color me skeptical.

Robespierres With Guillotines: Lust for Revenge Could Fuel the Next America First Resurgence: The insanity of the Democrats and their lunatic NeverTrump fringe transformed Trump from a pariah into a victim. . .

In closing, in case you think the Left is not really unhinged, consider the performance of Scott Galloway, an anti-Trump entrepreneur and professor at NYU. In front of a live audience recently, Galloway called Elon Musk “a traitor to the West.” What do we do with traitors? Galloway didn’t flinch. He noted that the Rosenbergs, Julius and Ethel, were “lined up against a wall,” i.e., executed. Musk, he said, deserved no less. The audience, I note, applauded. Amazing. Yes, such aspiring Robespierres might do some damage. They really are insane, power-hungry totalitarians in waiting. But their insanity will eventually call forth a salubrious counterrevolution. “Eventually.” I note that Senate terms are six years. That is a sobering thought. But it is also precisely the reason that everyone with the good of the country at heart must rally round and push back. I believe they will.

The always erudite and estimable Roger Kimball both gets it and misses the point. We are not dealing with Democrats who play by the same rules and adhere to the same belief system that we do. Far from it. They have a hate on for this nation as it was founded and its people. Always have and always will. There is nothing now to stop them from doing whatever they want or feel they need to do to finally grab the brass ring of absolute power and total dismantling of this nation as founded to maintain that power for all time.

And here too, the usually reliable J.B. Shurk:

It is true that the Democrats will prevent Trump from putting new judges on the bench or replacing anybody from his administration chased into retirement.  I hope that his people possess nerves of steel and are prepared to endure the theatrical browbeating and endless investigations that will soon come from Congress.. . The midterm results are bad for us.  However, I know this to be true: Victories can quickly become defeats, and defeats can often be turned into unexpected victories.  Put your faith in God and have the courage to keep fighting.  There is much to do.

And so here too Shurk states that "Defeats often turn into victories." This is what the Germans who voted against Hitler and the Nazis told themselves after his and their election to the Reichstag in 1933. Not even a year later, that building was in flames and every one of their political opponents were rounded up and shipped off to prisons and ultimately to Dachau, if they made it there alive.

And speaking of Dachau:

North Carolina Democrat Shelly Headen, who posted a Facebook story with a caption that said Trump supporters belong in concentration camps while visiting Dachau, is on track to beat Republican incumbent Rep. John Blust by 233 votes pending the tabulation of provisional ballots that will likely add to her lead.

And this is not hyperbole. They mean it. They will not merely stop at Trump or Stephen Miller or anyone else in the cabinet, they're coming after all of us.

Here we are on the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht. While Jewish shops are now the targets in the city of Brotherly Love which is now the City of Muslim Brotherhoodly Love... Lest you forget that the Democrat Party now boasts a US Senator who is supported by and whose family members and probably he himself are members of that group. Meh, he's a practicing Muslim. Islam is utterly incompatible with America and civilization itself, and yet and yet! This too shall pass and perhaps it's a victory. Yeah, about that,

El-Sayed Declares Michigan ‘Capital Of Arab America’ In First Remarks As Senator-Elect — During his victory speech, El-Sayed repeated arabic phrases he's uttered along the campaign trail to rally supporters.

No doubt they were also yucking it up about how Charlie Kirk was butchered.

have a good day

Food Thread: Luscious Thighs And Dry Butts?

Pork Milanese is one of my easy weekday recipes that I can make with no planning other than buying the chops. Bone-in of course, because A) they taste better and 2. they are fun to eat!

But a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds*, and while my mantra is that as long as the food is good, I don't care what I eat; a little variety can't hurt.

But chicken thighs are damned good, so off to the market I went for boneless, skinless thighs. Usually I would bone them myself, but I was lazy, and in a bit of a rush. And was I happy with the boning job the butcher did? No, I was not. Serves me right!

Anyway, they turned out great! And the variegation of the meat grabbed onto the breadcrumb/cheese mixture very well, so they had a great texture... nice and crusty and crunchy!

Great! Except the new one is far smaller than the original, and the paint around it was a mess anyway.

One problem. What f*cking color are the garage walls? I have no idea, it isn't labeled on any of the cans in the basement, and every attempt I made to get close seemed to make it worse.

Mushy-Brained Moderates Got Us Into This Mess...They Won't Get Us Out

George Santayana famously wrote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The corollary, which applies perfectly to this mid-wit columnist is: "Those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it...first!"

Rikki Schlott is a 26-year-old columnist for the NY Post who seems never to have taken a history class that taught anything about the inexorable slide from soft socialism to wholesale murder. Or the uncomfortable fact that "One man, one vote, one time" has been the default in socialist countries for a very long time.

It doesn't matter that Abdul El-Sayed underperformed. It doesn't matter that the obviously retarded Nithya Raman barely won in Los Angeles. It doesn't matter that Twelver Mamdani only got 22% of registered voters.

They won. They are in power, and they will do what socialists always do...consolidate power, manipulate the electoral system, use the power of the purse to support their policies, and marginalize their opposition in every way possible.

DSA's shoddy midterm performance is proof voters want moderation, not socialism

Democrats just had a resounding midterm victory across the nation. But they’d be remiss to believe that the election results are an endorsement of the party’s creep to the far-left.

Analysis of Tuesday’s results shows that progressive and DSA-adjacent Democrats actually underperformed relative to their more moderate peers. That’s true across the country, with no major exceptions.

Voters who came out for Democrats in the midterms are sending a very specific message: they want moderation, not radical DSA craziness. Hopefully Mamdani and AOC won’t take the “blue tsunami” as permission to pursue their most extreme political dreams.

This flaccid-thinking child has no historical perspective, and no understanding of the true face of socialism. And it isn't her fault...yet. She went to a liberal prep school, leftist universities, and was hired for reasons beyond my understanding as a columnist at an age where she should be learning how to do research into the topics she pretends to have mastered.

The stupidity and ignorance inherent in her perspective is unfortunately quite common among the chattering classes that pretend to understand our political system. And yes, some of these fools are in the Senate and House. It is long past the time in American politics that we shed the leftist-supported nonsense that collaboration and "reaching across the aisle" is anything other than a recipe for capitulation and loss.

Our political system is now a "zero-sum game," and the sooner the craven cowards in the corporate wing of the Republican Party realize it, the better. But they won't, and they will continue to obstruct any movement toward a coherent political philosophy, instead of their acquisitive, amoral games.

• AMD's Zen 6 cores aren't quite here yet but benchmarks of engineering samples are leaking out and it looks like what we hoped to see with Zen 5. (WCCFTech)
  
  Compared with a 12-core Zen 5 Ryzen 370, the unnamed 10-core sample is 32% faster on single-threaded tasks - a huge jump for a single generation - and 21% faster multi-threaded despite having two fewer cores.
  
  If the leaks that Zen 6 will have 50% more cores are true and its per-core performance is 30% faster, that will put desktop parts at nearly twice the performance of Zen 5.
  
  We don't know how many graphics cores will ship in the laptop parts, but benchmarks of the same engineering sample's four-core integrated GPU placed it a little ahead of the current 860M's eight cores thanks to an update to the newer RDNA4 architecture used in AMD's 9000-series graphics cards.
  
  All in all a solid advance arriving at a time when nobody can afford the hardware to go with it. Good for people running on older AMD hardware - or even those sitting on Intel systems with DDR5 memory.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:

9/18 – Random Dave posted an update to his job progress. He is still looking for FT work, but has accepted a substitute teacher position (more flexibility for interviews, some income to slow the bleeding). He asks for prayers that the interview results he is waiting on will get back to him soon, especially if one is the “right job”. If any are “not the right job”, they would fall away soon and get back to him, and that if all of them are “not the right job”, the ‘right job” would show itself aggressively, so he doesn’t miss it! He also thanks the Horde and the folks at church for their prayers and support.

8/14 Update – Random Dave needs continued prayers for his job situation, that God would guide him to the right one soon, and also for prayers for M’s grandmother, who fell the other day and tore a ligament.

10/22 Update – M’s grandmother is healing well. She is mostly mobile now (on crutches), and occasionally has bouts of bad pain. They praise God for the healing and humbly request additional healing. Random Dave reports no real change on his job situation. He continues to pray for God to make the path known as he applies, and periodically deal with “good” interviews that end up going nowhere.

9/18 – Brother Tim posted that he has been overnight in his car more than indoors. He is convinced that his retirement/resignation was a severe error, a result of fatigue and depression. He asks for prayers.

10/17 – Bother Tim posted that he has been in the hospital for 3 weeks.

10/10 – Just Some Guy asked for prayers for his former work colleague, who had a heart attack and stroke.

10/10 – Mile, okravangelist, requested prayers for Mama Publius, for grace and fortitude, and that she passes in her sleep. Mama Publius is in home hospice care.

10/24 Update – Mama Publius passed away this past week.

10/14 – NR Pax requested prayers for a friend, whose husband died on 10/10 after a long illness.

10/17 – Pooky’s Girl posted that she is in the hospital, because Wee Pooky is threatening to come early at 30 weeks.

10/24 Update – Pooky’s Girl’s contractions have been stopped. She is at 31 weeks along, so every week that Wee Pooky stays put is less time in the NICU.

10/31 – Annie’s Stew (and, I assume, all the Horde) ask for God’s blessings on Misanthropic Humanitarian as he steps away from the blog. We thank him for his service to the Horde and to Christ’s Kingdom.

10/31 – ChristyBlinkyTheGreat requested prayers that her mother’s eventual passing into heaven be in peace as she sleeps, without any pain or fear. She thinks it will be in the next few weeks or months, as she is approaching 96 years old.

11/4 – Teresa in Fort Worth sent an update that she is not feeling well. Every muscle and bone hurts, on top of the fatigue and weakness she was already experiencing. The nurse at UTSW thinks it may be due to receiving chemo on top of radiation, on the same day. The good news is that the CA19-9 number is 4.9, below the threshold of 37. This was her twelfth chemo treatment, marking a year since she started this protocol. She is worried that it may be a preview of how she will feel when the cancer starts to take over.

For submission guidelines, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at: apaslo at hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew.

Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update.
