Poison Is Queen
And in questionable circumstances news:
A Utah woman was convicted on Monday of aggravated murder after poisoning her husband with fentanyl and then self-publishing a children’s book about coping with grief.
Today’s word is ballsy.
Prosecutors said [Kouri Richins] was $4.5m in debt and falsely believed that when her husband died, she would inherit his estate worth more than $4m. They also said she was planning a future with another man she was seeing on the side.
Richins was also convicted of other felonies, including an attempted murder charge in what authorities alleged was another effort to poison her husband weeks earlier on Valentine’s Day with a fentanyl-laced sandwich that made him black out.
Apparently, the house cleaner was scoring the pills.
The internet search history from Richins’ phone included “what is a lethal.dose.of.fetanayl,” “luxury prisons for the rich America” and “if someone is poisned (sic) what does it go down on the death certificate as,” a digital forensic analyst testified.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
Tit for tat.
They already thought of that. Many “charitable” non-profits are heavily funded by government grants, thus getting around the pesky issue of your consent.
Ladies, is this true?
Of course. My day of data wrangling isn’t complete without a stop to pose in a leather mini, hooker heels, and a bad wig.
Oddly, one thing you don’t see much anymore on real women at the office is pantyhose, even on older women who could use them. On the rare formal occasion where I have to wear a skirt, nude support hose is essential, as my mongrel Indigenous European flesh fairly glows in the dark it’s so pale.
I rock my farmer’s tan though – arms darker than HRH Markle’s nose.
Highly Rebarbative Ho?
I don’t watch the any award shows anymore, but I do like to see the Best/Worst dressed pics the next day for the giggles and snorts. Even the “best dressed”, if that gown is slit up to pixelation boundary and the gal is NOT wearing stockings, it just strikes me as unacceptably unfinished.
Now I have heard some politicians say some stupid stuff in my life but this…does she hear herself? It might…miiiight be excusable if she was remotely easy on the eyes…and her raspy voice sounds like Nancy Pelosi. New Yorkers vote for this idiocy. She actually says they thought their citizens were captives. An amazing admission.
She does. She’s talking to someone in a venue that won’t even question her, but is probably nodding along — these people seem to think that the normies, especially successful normies, are all in on “propping up the social welfare programs”. That politicians and their cronies take the cream off the top of the revenue before one dime gets down to the benefit is just the cost of being a “patriotic rich person” who MUST go down to Palm Beach and drag their peers back.
She doesn’t believe she’s stupid. She believes she’s a “good person” and if you want low taxes or to be left alone YOU are the ‘bad guy’.
I’ve see this mentality over and over. “I’m good so if you disagree with me, then you’re bad and I don’t have to listen to anything you say” … which is the boiled down message of [kids, parents, cousins, et al] who cut family members completely out of their lives because they voted Trump.
I have no idea of how to counter such cult behavior, but here we are.
Another case where sympathy should be rationed.
For the record, I suspect Abbott is one Hell of a lot nicer than Hochul. By any measure.
TBF, I’m guessing you don’t need the wig because of male pattern baldness.
About Kouri Ritchens’s financial situation:
She had a real estate license and fancied herself a great “house flipper,” but she wasn’t good at it. She’d take out loans that she couldn’t pay back, then get more loans to pay off the previous loans, and it just spiraled.
She promised a friend that she could close on a really great deal if she’d just wire her $45K, but when Ritchens got the money she used it to pay off debt, and her friend never got the deal.
She also forged her husband’s signature for a loan right before she killed him.
There’s more at the link about the forensic accountant’s testimony.
Here’s info about the life-insurance policies.
She’s a stone-cold sociopath, is what. Cops say when they went to talk to her soon after her husband’s death, she was unnaturally chipper.
She’s also not very bright. Fentanyl? Easily detected in the system. All those Google searches and text messages with the side piece. They found a letter to her mom in her jail cell that said, “Tell my brother to tell the cops that my husband said he got himself some fentanyl in Mexico.”
Here’s the mystery: After she tried to kill him on Valentine’s Day with a poisoned sammich, he quickly changed the beneficiaries on all his assets. He knew she was trying to kill him. He told people that she was. And yet he stuck around and accepted a drink that she mixed out of his sight.
Crazy, crazy situation. And now three little boys are being raised by their dad’s sister, and they all know that “mommy killed daddy.” Might as well start up a savings account for the shrink fees.
That really is pretty good.
Point and counterpoint.
As others have noted many times, the men who describe themselves as trans women, as if there were some inner womanly reality invisible to others, some trans metaphysics, often seem remarkably uninterested in being an approximation of a realistic woman. Instead, we very often get a naff porno caricature.
The sexual cartoon aspect is pretty hard to miss and is often admitted by the party concerned.
Exactly. We live in a society of people who are so certain of their smartness that they don’t even know what being stupid means. Hochul’s saying these things out loud, in front of cameras pairs nicely with Kouri Richins’ googling how to kill her husband.
Di, thanks for that article but it’s quite the hodge-podgeof information. The author sounds kinda…umm…female iykwim. Don’t think “Jax” Miller understands financial matters either way. Though when I ran across this:
I lost all sympathy. Kinda like aelf’s (and my own) similar feelings about NY taxpayers.
British policing does it again.
There was a time, not too long ago, when the British police were held by many in at least some measure of regard. How quickly that asset has been pissed away.
Somewhat related, a general principle:
From here, further to this.
RE: Governor Kathy Hochul:
Well they are in NY – she got elected didn’t she, and so did Mamdani.
Their voters aren’t stupid – they are selfish, immature Gell-Mann Amnesiac fantasists.
Hochul isn’t stupid – she’s just the Last Pol Standing as the decades-long hustle falls apart.
The same types that brought down the Roman empire from within.
That does factor into it.
Dogs in the manger.
That principle applies to much of what the left demands of us:
We have no duty to pretend that:
If he won’t stop experimentation on children what makes them think he’ll do anything about a bit of old-fashioned Jew hatred?

I don’t disagree with your point, but who goes through a station gate with a camera running?
Agatha Christie and the Metaphysics of Murder
Anyone who’s run into similar behaviour in the past would be my guess.
People who have to put up with it every day?
Thanks for that. Wasn’t aware of it.

I’m in the mood for some cosy murder.
Highly Rebarbative Ho?
Haha – yes!!
TBF, I’m guessing you don’t need the wig because of male pattern baldness.
True – it’s more a formality – Keeping Up Appearances and all that.
Agree in context in general. The voters of NY, the vast majority being ones who benefit from the welfare state, are the least stupid in their selfishness. It’s working for their otherwise stupid, lazy asses. The real stupid voters of NY are the smart ones. The Democrats of higher socioeconomic status who still voted for this idiocy one way or the other and their Republican sycophants who excuse it all.
My point about Horchel being stupid however….yes, she’s smart in using the politics of socialism to get what she wants. Her stupidity is in her so clearly, obviously tipping her hand with the reasoning. Surely she should know that that specific wording as the, as you say, decades (century really) long hustle falls apart.
Thing that never happens…
This. Seconding the other major points in your post, also, but especially this. I once had a close friend try that “logic” on me. His wife was Very Online and Very Smart, so he was just repeating the “reasoning” from her, but it still rankled. He asked if a mutual friend decided he was a woman, would I, out of care, niceness, etc refer to him as “she”? After all, it was only a small thing, a polite thing, right?
I said no, I would not. Because it would not be true, and I will not be forced to lie. If said friend changed his name to a female name, I would use that in his presence, because a name is not genetic make-up and can be changed. If talking to said friend, the pronoun is “you”. Third-person pronouns are only used when the person in question is not present, and if my speech is going to be policed I simply would not use any pronouns at all.
Hey! I was just getting into the beat, and she turned the igniter off!

What made Chavez disposable all of a sudden?
The AP does not answer the question, but Wikipedia tells us that his accuser, Dolores Huerta, is an activist for illegal immigration.
One suggestion.
Chavez: always always your good standing on the Left is subject to instant revocation and your picture airbrushed out of comrade Stalin’s photos. How many “good communists” ended up in gulags or dead? Lots. See also China under Mao and also the crap at the occupy sites, including rape and murder. This is what the go-along crowd fails to grasp.
Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
I would have said something about that in my comment, but I kept getting pulled away for HOA stuff.
