Chadis a Midwest slang term for a type of young man. It was used in Chicago in the 2000s as a derogatory description for young, upper-class, urban males [1]. In modern internet slang, the term generally refers to an "Alpha" [2], a stud, a wanker, or sexually successful male [3] living in the American Manosphere.
Gun toting armed civilian bystanders — Jordan Salinas and off-duty [though technically still on duty as it is a salaried 24-hour-a-day job] Idaho State Trooper Austin Scott James — returned fire, helping prevent additional blood and casualties, police claim. The Chad Williams then murdered himself by suicide with a self-inflicted gunshot wound using his own legal gun.
DEATHS? In-N-Out Burgers Corporation [4, 5], doing business as "In-N-Out Burger," is an American regional chain of fast fried junk food restaurants with locations primarily in California and to a lesser extent the West Coast and Southwest [6], in the process of expanding into Idaho.
The company was founded in Baldwin Park, California, in 1948 by deceased Founders Harry Snyder (1913–1976, dead at 63 of cancer) and amateur accountant Esther Snyder (1920–2006, dead at 86 of unknown causes).
Esther and Harry had three children, all dead prematurely: biological sons Harry Guy Snyder (1951-1999, dead at 48 of drug overdose) and [Richie] Rich Snyder (1952-1993, dead at in a plane crash, after returning from opening Store 93 in an OC mass death incident), and an adopted orphan son named Wilbur Stites (1951-1979, dead at 28 in a car crash), fostered since the 1960s.
Also, now dead through involvement with the death burger fast-food joint are at least one In-N-Out employee and two others yet to be identified (see below**) by police, with one of the injured parties being taxi driver Terry Dudley, who was charging his needy trillionaire Elon Musk-built Tesla. (The Tesla always being needy in terms of energy, not the Chad Elon Musk, who gets his energy from drug abuse).
Three burger eaters were murdered, and seven others were injured, preliminary reports suggest.
**Family members identified two of the many victims as Stockton In-N-Out Trainer/Manager Ashley Garibay, 23, and Christopher Claunch, 59.
The chain is headquartered in Irvine (OC), California, and has expanded outside SoCal into the rest of California, as well as into Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, and Tennessee.
The death-attracting corporation is planning an expansion into New Mexico [7, 8, 9] and wherever else slaughtered cows served with French fries are devoured in ghoulish rituals of mindless, distracted eating and tossing of bag, cups, and wrappers wherever is most convenient, such as a parking lot or public street.
This is usually preceded by getting high on marijuana, beer, hard alcohol (spiritous liquor), and/or pharmaceuticals. The current owner is Lynsi Snyder, the Snyders' only grandchild. As the chain has expanded, it has opened several distribution centers in addition to its original Baldwin Park location. More
John Wayne’s 350 lb. bodyguard attacked Bruce Lee — then watched him get crushed
(AI Bruce Lee Diaries) Backstage at a Hollywood soundstage in 1972, Bruce Lee arrived for a quiet studio meeting. What he didn’t expect was a challenge from a massive former Marine — the personal bodyguard of John Wayne.
The man believed real combat training made movie martial arts useless. Fifteen minutes later, only a handful of crew members would witness what really happened.
In this true behind-the-scenes story, discover how Bruce Lee — the star audiences knew from The Green Hornet — was openly mocked and tested in front of Wayne himself.
The 350-pound bodyguard thought size, strength, and Western military experience guaranteed him victory. What Bruce did next shocked everyone in the room — including "The [Grand] Duke."
This isn’t just another Bruce Lee legend. It’s the moment when raw Western power collided with a real Eastern understanding of movement, timing, and control — and when one of Hollywood’s toughest men learned that fighting isn’t about who’s bigger, it’s about who understands more.
For decades, this quiet backstage confrontation between Bruce Lee and John Wayne’s bodyguard stayed out of the spotlight. Now, the full story of how a 350-pound former Marine was taken down — twice — can finally be told.

Humans oftentimes violate the "law of the jungle," the territorial claims of carnivores and cornered or injured beasts who survive on instinct. For all the good and peaceful interactions we have most of the time, there are a few that show that some element of danger is ever present.
In the Rebirth Stories (Jataka Tales) of the Buddha, animals can talk. They communicate with one another, of course, but they are also able to cross the veil between their domain and ours. Cross species communication is real. Just ask an animal communicator:
RIGHT SPEECH (sammā-vācā) in most Buddhist texts (such as the Pali canon) is presented as four abstentions [29, 68]: "What is right speech? Abstaining from lying (false speech), from divisive speech, from abusive speech, and from idle (beastly talk) speech: This is called right speech."
Instead of the usual "abstention and refraining from wrong" terminology, a few Buddhist texts, such as the "Fruits of Recluseship Discourse" (Samaññaphala Sutta) and Kevata Sutta in the Long Discourses of the Buddha (Digha Nikaya) explain this virtue in an active sense, after stating it in the form of an abstention [69].
For example, Fruits of Recluseship Sutra states that a part of a Buddhist monastic's virtue is that of "abstaining from false speech. One speaks the truth, holds to the truth, is firm, reliable, not a deceiver of the world" [69].
Similarly, the virtue of abstaining from divisive speech is explained as delighting in creating concord [69] and peace and harmony between people.
I'm humiliated! I can never face the world!
The virtue of abstaining from abusive speech is explained in this sutra as including affectionate and polite speech that is pleasing to most people.
The virtue of abstaining from idle chit chat (animal talk or ticcharana-katha) is explained as speaking what is connected with the Dharma, the goal of of which is liberation from all ignorance and suffering [69, 40] by realizing the freedom of enlightenment and the bliss and peace of nirvana. More
I give up, Bibi. Talked me into it. Greenland next
(The Young Turks) U.S.-Israel (satan, the "adversary") likely to launch full-blown war on Iran, as it appears imminent on the eve of Ramadan to incense passions and drawn in other Muslim majority countries to expend and delete more military hardware and human lives.
Too bad Trump is not a man of God, as his Protestant Evangelical boosters in America, Christian Zionists, proclaim. Or else he would stand up to Bibi Netanyahu, who recently paid his sixth public visit to our beloved dictator to advocate for an attack on Iran by the U.S. instead of peace like good Jesus (Saint Issa, the Prophet Isa) would want and himself do if he were still in Palestine.
Uncover the historical truth about Buddhist warrior monks with this informative and enlightening book.
Exploring the origins of Buddhism and the ethos of the Japanese samurai, martial arts practitioner Professor Jeffrey Mann traces the close connection between the Buddhist way of compassion (karuna) and the way of the warrior.
This Zen book serves as a basic introduction to the history, philosophy, and current practice of Zen as it relates to the Japanese martial arts.
It examines the elements of Zen that have found a place in budo(bujutsu or bugei)—the "Martial Way"—such as zazen, mushin, zanshin, and fudoshin, then goes on to discuss the ethics and practice of budo as a modern sport.
Offering insights into how qualities integral to the true martial artist are interwoven with this ancient religious philosophy, this book on Buddhism helps practitioners reconnect to an authentic spiritual discipline of martial arts.
Film, television, and popular fiction have long exploited the image of the serene Buddhist monk who is master of the deadly craft of hand-to-hand combat.
While these media overly romanticize the relationship between a philosophy of non-violence and the art of fighting, When Buddhists Attack: The Curious Relationship Between Zen and the Martial Arts shows this link to be nevertheless real, even natural.
ABOUT: The author Jeffrey K. Mann is a professor and the chair of the Religious Studies Department at [the Protestant Evangelical Lutheran] Susquehanna University (susqu.edu) in Pennsylvania. He earned his doctorate in religious studies from Vanderbilt University and has also served as a visiting professor of religion at Senshu University in Ikuta, Japan.

Israel intercepts the Global Sumud Flotilla vessels, detains hundreds of activists
(The Newsmakers/TRT) Oct. 2, 2025: Militant Israeli forces state-sponsored pirates illegally intercepted and boarded several Global Sumud Flotilla vessels in international waters on Wednesday, which have been sailing to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza and deliver aid.
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, along with hundreds of other activists, were detained, kidnapped, and forcibly taken to Israel.
PM Netanyahu’s government had previously vowed to do "whatever it takes" to stop the humanitarian flotilla from reaching starving, war-torn Gaza.
The international community has condemned Israel for creating a manmade famine and abduction at sea, denouncing its actions as a breach of international maritime law.
To debate that and more TRT is joined by one of the flotilla’s activists aboard the boat Shireen. She shares her first-hand experience of the live situation at sea and the risks involved.
Guests: Political analyst and contributor to Haaretz Akiva Eldar, Palestinian writer and analyst Kamel Hawwash, and human rights campaigner Caoimhe Butterly. #GlobalSumudFlotilla #Israel #theNewsmakers
This is what Trump’s 20-point plan, released on Monday, would really mean for Gaza. “The priority is going to be investment…making that money and the kickbacks,” Scahill warns, comparing it to Iraq after 2003, with Tony Blair is set to oversee redevelopment. “Colonial powers always used the local population to test out whatever new technologies, new theories, new medicines,” he says.

The Clintons and Trumps have been good friends, along with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, for decades. They are Country Club types engaging in crimes, sleazy behavior, and mutual back scratching. There are Pizza Parties, trips to a certain US Virgin Islands happy camp, and Illuminati rituals. Ask Q-Anon, which seems to have gone silent as if it were only Democrats and their hangers on. While Don and Hillary were presented as bitter rivals by the mainstream media during one election, they were actually longtime friends competing for the golden ring. It was budding billionaire crook versus a crooked attorney, both with a lot to hide. "Lock her up!" was a campaign slogan. Why didn't he do it when he got the chance? He would be implicated in similar crimes.
