Coke at the White House

The “unknown item” found in the West Wing that forced a brief evacuation of the White House Sunday night and drew a Hazmat team to the executive mansion initially tested positive for cocaine, according to officials and a dispatch call made that evening.

“We have a yellow bar stating cocaine hydrochloride,” a DC firefighter stated in a radio communication at 8:49 p.m. on Sunday.

“Bag it up and take it out,” the firefighter told the Hazmat team.

The white powdery substance was found in the residence’s library on the ground floor of the building, according to the dispatch call.

However, officials familiar with the incident told The Post the purported cocaine was found in a holding area in the West Wing that is only accessible to White House staff and guests.***

First son Hunter Biden, 53, who has acknowledged a prior addiction to crack cocaine, was on the White House grounds Friday before heading off to Camp David with his father for the holiday weekend.***

Rumors circulated in April that the first son may have been crashing at the White House for a time to avoid being served with court papers by the mother of his love child.

In his memoir “Beautiful Things,” Hunter detailed his years-long battle with cocaine addiction, which he said intensified after the death of his brother Beau in 2015.

Many photos, text messages and other communications revealing his cocaine abuse ended up on the first son’s now infamous laptop, including recently surfaced images of Hunter smoking crack behind the wheel of his car in a residential Arlington, Va., neighborhood in the summer of 2018.*** https://nypost.com/2023/07/04/cocaine-found-on-white-house-premises-dispatch-call-shows/

In other R. Hunter Biden news....

Hunter Biden apparently filmed himself smoking crack behind the wheel of a car in 2018 — the same year he took a picture of himself driving 172 mph in a Porsche, according to thousands of newly uploaded photos from the first son’s abandoned laptop.

Biden, 53, is seen flashing what looks like a crack pipe and smoking it while driving through a residential neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia, on June 12, 2018, according to the photos uploaded by Marco Polo, a nonprofit firm headed by former Donald Trump aide Garrett Ziegler.

Less than two months later, he was seen racing to Las Vegas on August 1, when he took a snap of the car’s dashboard, revealing that he was going at least 172 mph.

The pictures were found on Biden’s infamous laptop, which also contained messages to multiple women waiting for him to arrive in Sin City for a hot tub party, the Daily Mail reported Sunday.***

Where would we be w/o NY Post headlines?

Gunman arrested for Philadelphia mass shooting which left 5 dead is BLM activist who wore women’s clothes: sources

The rifle-wielding suspect who donned a bulletproof vest before allegedly shooting dead five men and injuring two children in Philadelphia has been identified as a Black Lives Matter supporter who shared gun-toting memes on social media.

Kimbrady Carriker, 40, was nabbed shortly after the bloodshed in the city’s Kingsessing neighborhood Monday night, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported, citing sources.

Cops haven’t yet publicly disclosed the suspect’s identity.

On his Facebook page, Carriker posted two pictures of him wearing a bra, a women’s top and earrings with his hair braided long in March, three months before the alleged shooting.

He also regularly posts about supporting Black Lives Matter, including supporting workers who protested in the Strike For Black Lives in July 2020.

Police said the 40-year-old male suspect was armed with a rifle, pistol, extra magazines, a police scanner and bullet proof vest when he fatally shot four men on the street and then chased and killed a fifth man inside a home.*** https://nypost.com/2023/07/04/kimbrady-carriker-ided-as-philadelphia-gunman-accused-of-killing-5/

Nellie writes

→ “I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father”: That’s what Hunter Biden texted a Chinese businessman, while demanding $10 million. A Maltese bank where one of his business enterprises had an account was shut down in 2018 after the government suspected it of money laundering. I was trying to understand that and came upon this hilariously cryptic PBS headline from a couple of months ago: “Republicans are using financial records to investigate Hunter Biden. Here’s how.” The story doesn’t explain what was found, instead focusing on the process, implying that it’s maybe shady to use financial records to investigate financial crimes. Thank God we fund this important work.

Meanwhile an IRS whistleblower, Gary Shapley, has come out to say that his work on the Hunter Biden case was obstructed and that he was blocked from pursuing leads into the person Hunter called “dad” or “the big guy.” They were right to pump the brakes on Gary’s rather nosy tendencies. “Dad”? That could be ANYONE. What’s next, going after the guy for locking in some defense contracts in exchange for some time with “Papa” or “Daddy Dearest” or “My dad the president, Joe Biden?” What are we, a banana republic?

Here is what Shapley said to CBS News: “We have to make sure as a special agent for IRS Criminal Investigation that we treat every single person exactly the same. And that just simply didn’t happen here.”

I just wish there was a single mainstream media outlet that could explain this all to me in a sophisticated fact-based way because it looks bad. But, also, addicts say all kinds of things. (Ed note: The Free Press is working on a breakdown of all the Hunter Biden allegations.)

Last note: Hunter was apparently kicked out of LA’s best sex club, according to the club’s founder (who himself has now been ousted for tattling on Hunter). Why anyone would believe the founder of a sex club wouldn’t sell you out for a headline is beyond me. That’s why I have to be monogamous.*** https://www.thefp.com/p/nellie-bowles-tgif-going-to-supremes

In all fairness, living in Philly can be suicidal....

Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia teacher, was found dead in her apartment the morning after a blizzard 12 years ago by her then-fiance. She had 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her head and neck, and was covered in bruises in different states of healing***

The city medical examiner's office initially ruled her daughter's gruesome death a homicide but then called it a suicide after a meeting with police and prosecutors, according to court filings.***

In July 2022, an independent journalist named Gavin Fish posted a YouTube video to allege that then-AG Shapiro had "a clear conflict of interest" in the case and that Ellen’s fiance’s family were among his campaign donors. The AG’s recusal from the case was announced three days later.*** https://www.foxnews.com/us/philly-mayor-under-scrutiny-city-resists-push-reinvestigate-suicide-woman-stabbed-20-times

And if shooting school kids isn’t disturbing enough

DETROIT (AP) — A teenager awaiting sentencing for killing four students at a Michigan high school has been “exhibiting sporadic, disturbing behavior” in jail, prosecutors said, just a month before a key hearing to determine if he will serve a life prison term.

The disclosure about Ethan Crumbley, 17, was made in a court document this week and at a routine monthly hearing Friday in Oakland County court.

Prosecutors did not offer any details in public but shared them privately with Judge Kwame Rowe and Crumbley’s attorneys.

Crumbley pleaded guilty to murder, terrorism and other charges for a mass shooting at Oxford High School in 2021. Four fellow students were killed and seven more people were wounded.

Crumbley is being held at the county jail but is kept away from adults who are also in custody.

He has “started exhibiting sporadic, disturbing behavior,” assistant prosecutor Marc Keast said in a court filing. “This behavior has been documented via report and body-worn camera from jail personnel responding to various incidents. It is not readily apparent what the impetus for or cause is of this behavior.”*** https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/a-teen-who-killed-4-at-a-michigan-high-school-is-showing-disturbing-behavior-in-jail

Court should overrule Kennedy v. Louisiana, 554 U. S. 407 (2008) for dirtbags like this.

Gerson Fuentes, 28, was sentenced raping and impregnating a 9-year-old Ohio girl who later sought an abortion in Indiana. He will be eligible for parole in as little as 25 years.

Common Pleas Court Judge Julie Lynch, who was not required to approve the plea agreement, said the girl’s family “begged” the judge to back it. Lynch called the deal a “very hard pill for this court to swallow.”

“Anyone who’s ever been in this courtroom for the last 20 years knows how this court feels about these babies, young people, being violated,” Lynch said. “However, today, by the request of the family, this court will be sentencing without comment.”

The maximum sentence would have been life without parole. Settling the case before trial will spare the survivor from having to testify in court.***

Fuentes, who is from Guatemala and was living in Columbus, had been held without bond since his arrest. If he eventually wins parole, he would likely be deported given that authorities have said they have not found any evidence he is authorized to live in the U.S. legally.*** https://www.pilotonline.com/2023/07/05/man-gets-life-sentence-for-raping-9-year-old-ohio-girl-who-traveled-to-indiana-for-legal-abortion/

Really loathe these turd, but they’re right

Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen set fire to a replica of the Bill of Rights Thursday outside the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.

The businessman, activist, and philanthropist led a protest outside the DOJ to criticize the treatment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and emphasize the importance of a free press.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/ben-jerrys-ben-cohen-burns-bill-of-rights-doj

Assange has never been an American citizen or national. He has never had any duty of loyalty to the U.S.

Don’t get me wrong - Assange is a flaming dirtbag and a hypocrite, but he has committed no crime against the U.S.

should still be in prison. Snowden should be strapped down on a gurney and enjoy a nice three drug cocktail. But Assange should not be pursued by the U.S.

Sad when our capital is more dangerous than Afghanistan’s.

***Nasrat Ahmad Yar was driving for Lyft to help provide for his wife and four children. Ahmad Yar had worked for the U.S. government for nearly 20 years, starting at age 10 and working his way up to becoming an interpreter for U.S. forces. He survived the collapse of the Afghan government at the hands of the Taliban, fleeing to the United States in 2021.

He was killed just after midnight on Monday after dropping off passengers. He was surrounded by four males who appeared to be teenagers. One of them shot and killed Ahmad Yar, with surveillance video showing one of the suspects saying, “He was reaching,” in response to another saying, “You just killed him.”

This is not merely some one-off event in Washington, a random act of violence that can be dismissed as a tragic outlier. This is what the Democrats have enabled with their twisted, pro-criminal view of crime policy. The district's Democrats have refused to even pretend that crimes committed by juveniles are a problem. According to District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb, carjackings and robberies by juvenile offenders that have the very real possibility of escalating into homicides are just “kids being kids.”

For context, more than two-thirds of carjacking arrests in the city in 2022 were juvenile offenders. There were 485 carjackings in 2022, compared to just 148 in 2018. ***

Despite that 227% increase in carjackings, the Council of the District of Columbia's Chairman Phil Mendelson denied that there was any such crime crisis in the district. That is why the D.C. Council set out to soften the punishments for violent crimes, including carjackings and murder.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/he-survived-the-taliban-but-not-dcs-soft-on-crime-policies

Mom was right: "if you can't think of something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Golden Valley, Minnesota sought a new police chief. The mayor lists his pronouns in his correspondence, and it is a "city that believes in and stands for the values of social equity, inclusion and justice. We embrace diversity and recognize the rights of individuals to live their lives with dignity, free of discrimination, fear, violence and hate.”

The police union and many citizens supported interim chief Scott Nadeau, a white man. The city's equity management apparently wanted Virgil Green, who would apparently improve the city's Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity.

The mayor was/is outraged that

We have officers who secretly recorded an equity meeting and used the recording to undermine the city’s equity efforts and intimidate staff. It has been nearly a year since this happened and no one has been disciplined for this behavior, even though it is in direct opposition to our city values, our welcome statement and possibly a violation of city policy.

While crime numbers are trending up on the east side of the city and we’ve experienced two recent violent incidents, members of the police dept. are instead monitoring social media comments of city employees, their families and members of one of our city commissions. https://kstp.com/video/golden-valley-mayor-statement-regarding-police-chief-search/

Now, if they were wasting time on social media during work hours, they should be disciplined, but that's not what the mayor alleges. Shep Harris (he/him/his) was also offended that the union delivered to him a letter supporting Nadeau during a public meeting.

Once again, don’t say a thing you don’t mean. If you mean it, if you say it, and own it.

You’re not Hunter Biden. Don’t leave recordings of your crimes accessible to the public.

*** Police were contacted by a local restaurant after staff found a cell phone left behind by a customer, later determined to be [Camilo Hurtado] Campos. Workers took a look through it to try and find info that would lead them to the owner, so they could return the phone. What they found, instead, were dozens of unconscionable videos and pictures of children, and so they called police.

During an immediate and tireless investigation, Detectives found hundreds of disturbing videos and pictures on that phone. In many of them, Campos recorded himself raping unconscious boys between approximately 9 and 17 years old.

The 63-year-old soccer coach has lived in Franklin for the last 20 years, with that time split between two neighborhoods: Hill Estates and, most recently, on Glass Lane in the downtown Franklin area. During off-hours, Campos frequented nearby school playgrounds in both neighborhoods where he approached kids and recruited them as players on his team. After gaining their trust, Campos invited many of the kids to his home where he drugged and then raped them.

The rapes of at least 10 children have been found on Campos’s phone, so far. Working with local schools, Detectives have identified two of his victims. Police hope that those familiar with Campos can help them put a name with the faces of the remaining victims.*** https://www.franklintn.gov/Home/Components/News/News/10951/1801

Oh, and don’t molest people when your presence here is a crime.

Police confirmed that a Tennessee soccer coach accused of drugging and raping at least ten children is an illegal immigrant.

In today’s episode of Breaks My Freakin’ Heart....

Disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar, who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts, was stabbed during an altercation with another incarcerated person at the United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida.***

Two people familiar with the incident but not authorized to publicly discuss it told AP that Nassar was in stable condition Monday after being stabbed in the back and chest.

When reached by ESPN, the Federal Bureau of Prisons cited security concerns in not confirming the identity or health condition of any inmate but noted: "We can confirm on Sunday, July 9, 2023, at approximately 2:35 pm, an inmate was assaulted at the United States Penitentiary (USP) Coleman II, in Sumterville, Florida. Responding staff immediately initiated life-saving measures. Staff requested Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and life-saving efforts continued. The inmate was transported by EMS to a local hospital for further treatment and evaluation."

The Bureau of Prisons also noted that no other staff or inmates were injured and that the FBI has been notified of the incident, while an internal investigation continues.*** https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/37989188/report-larry-nassar-stabbed-multiple-s-federal-prison

For some reason, we must wait to shoot him, and some people will no doubt object.

An upstate middle-school principal used Snapchat to try to lure a 16-year-old girl to meet him in a remote location for sex — bringing with him condoms, chicken nuggets and a Grimace milkshake from McDonald’s, authorities say.

Johnson City Middle School Principal Daniel Erickson was arrested Friday and charged with luring a child and attempted rape, the Broome County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

Erickson, 55, had been allegedly communicating with the teen for at least a week before his arrest.***

Erickson arrived at the location with a box of condoms, chicken nuggets and a Grimace milkshake from McDonald’s, Broome County Sheriff Fred Akshar said during a press conference.

Somebody should write a country music song about it.

A stagehand for country music superstar Randy Travis was shot dead over the weekend by his wife, who believed he was having an affair, police have revealed.

Christine Roberts, 72, was arrested and charged with criminal homicide Sunday after she allegedly shot her husband, Thomas Roberts, 68, on the porch of their Nashville, Tenn., home, police said.

When officers responded to the home, she told them she shot her husband “because he had cheated on her,” according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

Thomas Roberts, who had worked for the “Diggin’ Up Bones” hitmaker for over two decades, died from a single gunshot wound to his chest just after 8 p.m. Sunday.

A pistol was recovered from the scene, police said.

Christine’s bond has been set at $100,000. *** https://nypost.com/2023/07/11/randy-travis-stagehand-shot-dead-by-wife-on-their-porch-over-cheating-claims/

Why ever let her out? Is there a shortage of double-murder perps?

Leslie Van Houten, a member of the Manson 'family' who was involved in one of the group's string of murders, has been released from prison.

Van Houten was convicted in 1971 of two counts of first-degree murder for her role in the murder of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in 1969. She was released on Tuesday, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation confirmed to the Associated Press.***

Van Houten admitted to holding down Rosemary LaBianca as she was stabbed to death, then stabbed her after she died, the New York Times reported. The murder came just one day after the more famous murder of actress Sharon Tate and four others in the house of film director Roman Polanski. Van Houten later expressed regret over the crime, claiming she had been brainwashed by leader Charles Manson.

She was originally sentenced to death but was saved after California abolished the death penalty one year after her conviction. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/crime/leslie-van-houten-manson-family-murderer-released

She got her break when California dropped the ball on D/P.

Selling AR-15s out of trucks?

During the National Safer Communities Summit in June, President Joe Biden claimed ***

“And in most cities, down in Philadelphia and New York, areas I know well, like up here, you’d see a truck pull up, pull to the curb, and selling weapons — selling guns, selling AR-15, selling weapons,” Biden said.

As a lifelong Philadelphia resident in the area who witnessed a drive-by shooting a month ago, I had never seen anything close to what Biden described and knew it was untrue. After discussing Biden’s assertion with friends and family members, many former police officers, I contacted the Philadelphia Police Department. I asked if the department had any record of AR-15s being sold out of trucks in the city.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/both-atf-and-philadelphia-police-cant-corroborate-bidens-ar-15-claims

Long story short, neither Philly police nor ATF could corroborate any of Pres Biden’s claims.

“Have you heard of remote neural monitoring?”

The Denver area has had a rash of shots fired at random high rise buildings. It may be related to a man named Fairchild.

Meanwhile, in Broomfield District Court, prosecutors formally charged Kenneth Fairchild, 45, with a multitude of counts Wednesday, including attempted first-degree murder, following his arrest after he allegedly fired shots from a rifle Saturday at three people eating on a patio at Jus Burritos in Broomfield.***

When Broomfield police arrested him with a Winchester bolt-action rifle, they found seven .22-caliber long-range bullets in his pocket, smelled alcohol, found drugs that tested positive as amphetamines, and heard him ask the following question, according to the affidavit. “Have you heard of remote neural monitoring?”*** https://www.denverpost.com/2023/07/12/denver-sniper-shootings-downtown-bulidings-broomfield-suspect/

There are three things mass media never get right: religion, military, and firearms. The bullets were almost certainly “long rifle,” not “long range.”

Bet your life it’s a bb gun?

Dillon Police Officer Allen Jambor and Summit County Sheriff’s Deputy Vincent Moquin shot to death 18 y/o Charlie Foster early Sunday, July 9, in Colorado.

The Sheriff’s Office said in the news release that the shooting happened when law enforcement officials responded to a report of “an armed individual wandering in the neighborhood waving a firearm and banging on residents’ doors.”***

Foster was known to police from his interactions over the past three weeks with the Systemwide Mental Assessment Response Team (SMART), which handles mental-health related calls, Summit County Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons said. FitzSimons added that Foster had not been determined to be a danger to himself or others and had refused voluntary services from the SMART program.

The situation escalated after six calls involving the man were made to emergency officials in the overnight hours prior to the shooting, including an initial call related to the incident at 11:53 the night prior, FitzSimons said.*** https://www.summitdaily.com/news/law-enforcement-shoot-and-kill-18-year-old-summit-county-high-school-graduate/

Foster’s aunt said he was carrying a bb gun. The Sheriff has not yet confirmed that.

How is an 18 y/o man not a danger when he’s banging on random doors with what looks like a firearm? If our mental health system worked, Foster would be alive.

Hm, I wonder if the two phenomena are related?

The murder rate in Washington state rose to an all-time high in 2022, as the state reported consistently low police staffing and the lowest number of police officers per capita in the nation.

The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs released its annual report Monday, reporting 394 murders last year, over a 16% increase compared to 338 murders in 2021. This year's murder numbers mark the highest number recorded since 1908 when law enforcement began using the National Incident-Based Reporting System to track information.

The number of police officers in Washington dropped to the lowest rate in state history, with data from 2022 showing 10,600 officers in The Evergreen State. The WASPC 2021 report documented 10,736 commissioned officers, slightly more than this year's data.

The staffing rate sits at 1.36 officers per 1,000 people, marking the lowest per capita rate of officers in the state since the 1980s. Washington state has the lowest law enforcement staffing rate in the country, with WASPC Executive Director Steven Strachan saying this data marks the 13th year in a row Washington holds ranks.

The number of arrests for drug and narcotics violations was down by 33% in 2022, totaling 1,444 arrests this year compared to 2,163 in the previous.

Washington also recorded an 8.5% increase in overall crime from last year, with violent crimes rising 8.9%.***https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/washington-sees-highest-murder-rates-in-decades-as-police-staffing-hits-record-low

Who could possibly own the coke?

Washington — The U.S. Secret Service has closed its investigation into the bag of cocaine that was discovered at the White House earlier this month, but was unable to identify a suspect "due to a lack of physical evidence," the agency said Thursday.

In a statement describing the events surrounding the cocaine's discovery, which began July 2, the Secret Service said as part of its review, it compiled a list of "several hundred" people who may have accessed the area where the substance was discovered. But no fingerprints could be found on the cocaine's packaging and there was "insufficient DNA" for "investigative comparisons," the Secret Service said.*** https://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-house-cocaine-found-secret-service-investigation-closes/

Secret Service found the coke on 2jul23. What’s important is when the coke was left.

I have heard that when you visit the White House, you walk down a hall with a grate or screen that you wouldn’t notice. On the other side of the screen is a dog sniffing for bombs and contraband. The only people who don’t have to walk by the screen are family members of the President.

There may be insufficient DNA for a nuclear DNA test. There may well be enough to test for Mitochondrial DNA. That would be enough to include or exclude Robert H. Biden as a suspect.

Let’s play William of Occam for a moment. Suppose you’re walking through Flint, Michigan today, and you hear hoofbeats. Are you going to look for horses or zebras?

NY Post put it succinctly -

+++

A former Secret Service agent who spoke with The Daily Wire previously said that based on where the cocaine was reportedly found, in a West Wing cubby, investigators should have been able to narrow down when the substance was left relatively quickly.

Charles Marino, a former Secret Service agent who is now the CEO of Sentinel Security, said he believed the Secret Service should have been able to narrow down the list of suspects relatively quickly.

“Based on where the cocaine was found, I’m pretty confident that it was not there for a long period of time, based on the security measures, the sweeps of that area. So that gives the Secret Service some type of a time frame,” he said.

The reported location of where the cocaine was found has also changed multiple times, including at different places in the West Wing and in a library.*** https://www.dailywire.com/news/secret-service-closes-investigation-into-cocaine-found-at-white-house-with-no-suspects

Freedom of religion issue

The Alaska Department of Corrections has instituted a new policy that banned the use of altar wine during religious ceremonies, effectively barring Catholic Mass from being offered at correctional facilities.

“No altar wine or other alcoholic beverages will be used by anyone who is involved with any activity. The use of a non-alcoholic substitute (juice) for altar wine may be considered,” the interim policy established on June 6 reads.***

The interim policy effectively bans Catholic masses, which require a priest to consecrate and consume both bread and wine in order for the Mass to be considered valid.***

The 2004 Vatican instruction Redemptionis sacramentum states that “It is altogether forbidden to use wine of doubtful authenticity or provenance, for the Church requires certainty regarding the conditions necessary for the validity of the sacraments. Nor are other drinks of any kind to be admitted for any reason, as they do not constitute valid matter.”

The Catechism of the Catholic Church says, “The essential signs of the Eucharistic sacrament are wheat bread and grape wine.”

Catholic parishioners are only required to receive either bread or wine during communion, as Jesus is believed to be fully present in both species. But Catholic doctrine dictates that both species must still be present at the Mass and consumed by the celebrant. Yet the Alaska Department of Corrections policy does not even allow solely the priest to use or consume alcoholic wine.***

A source familiar said that Catholic Church leaders in Alaska are preparing for potential legal action to fight the policy, but are concerned about retaliation.

The Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau and the Diocese of Fairbanks did not immediately respond to a request for comment.*** https://thespectator.com/topic/alaska-prisons-effectively-ban-catholic-mass-wine/

If anyone needs Mass, it’s a prisoner in Alaska. I hope the Bishop of Juneau can resolve this informally with the state.

If it’s no big deal to bring coke to the White House, why can’t you bring a couple ml of grape wine to a prison?

Alaska backs down

***On July 14, a spokesperson for the Alaska state Department of Corrections released a statement saying the policy had been reversed.

“Alaska Department of Corrections acknowledges the recent concern surrounding the June 6, 2023 Interim Policy and Procedures Memorandum (816.01),” the memo said.

“We respect the unintended issue generated by this memo and for that reason have repealed the memo in question. Our topmost priority is to ensure a secure and safe environment, but at the same time, to honor the religious beliefs of all those in our care and custody.

NY serial murder case

CNN — A New York architect is in custody for the Gilgo Beach murders, an unsolved case tied to at least 10 sets of human remains discovered since 2010 in suburban Long Island, according to two law enforcement sources.

This is the first arrest in the long-dormant case, which sparked conflicting theories about whether a serial killer was responsible.

The man in custody was identified as Rex Heuermann, multiple sources told CNN Friday. How many murders he has been connected with is unclear.

Authorities were executing a search warrant at an address registered to him in Massapequa Park, the sources said. A court appearance is scheduled later Friday morning, according to the Suffolk County DA’s office.***

Police said some victims identified had advertised prostitution services on websites such as Craigslist.

The mystery began in 2010 when police discovered the first set of female remains among the bushes along an isolated strip of waterfront property on Gilgo Beach while searching for Shannan Gilbert, a missing 23-year-old woman from Jersey City, New Jersey.

By the time Gilbert’s body was found one year later on neighboring Oak Beach, investigators had unearthed 10 sets of human remains strewn across two Long Island counties.*** https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/14/us/gilgo-beach-murders-suspect-arrest/index.html

You know the creeps are watching those videos with unsavory interest, right?

Many young people in Italy are expressing outrage on social media, after a judge cleared a school caretaker of groping a teenager, because it did not last long enough.

The case involves a 17-year-old student at a Rome high school.

She described walking up a staircase to class with a friend, when she felt her trousers fall down, a hand touching her buttocks and grabbing her underwear.

"Love, you know I was joking," the man told her when she turned around.

After the incident, which happened in April 2022, the student reported the caretaker, 66-year-old Antonio Avola, to police.

He admitted to groping the student without consent, but said it was a joke.

A Rome public prosecutor asked for a three-and-a-half year prison sentence but this week the caretaker was acquitted of sexual assault charges. According to the judges, what happened "does not constitute a crime" because it lasted less than 10 seconds.

Since the ruling, palpata breve - a brief groping - has become a trend on Instagram and TikTok in Italy, along with the #10secondi hashtag.

Italians have posted videos looking at the camera in silence and touching their intimate parts for 10 seconds straight.*** https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66174352

Good sentencing decision

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The gunman who killed 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018 is eligible for the death penalty, a federal jury announced Thursday, setting the stage for further evidence and testimony on whether he should be sentenced to death or life in prison.

The government is seeking capital punishment for Robert Bowers, who raged against Jewish people online before storming the Tree of Life synagogue with an AR-15 rifle and other weapons in the nation’s deadliest antisemitic attack. The jury agreed with prosecutors that Bowers — who spent six months planning the attack and has since expressed regret that he didn’t kill more people — had formed the requisite legal intent to kill.

Bowers’ lawyers argued that his ability to form intent was impaired by mental illness and a delusional belief that he could stop a genocide of white people by killing Jews who help immigrants.

Jurors reached the verdict after less than two hours of deliberation. As it was read, Bowers showed little reaction in keeping with his demeanor throughout the trial. In the courtroom gallery, survivors and victims’ relatives heeded the judge’s request to keep their emotions in check.***

U.S. Attorney Eric Olshan said Bowers wasn’t delusional, but that he “just believes things that are repugnant.” https://www.denverpost.com/2023/07/13/the-gunman-who-killed-11-people-in-a-pittsburgh-synagogue-is-found-eligible-for-the-death-penalty/

Glen Frey sang “There's lots of shady characters, lots of dirty deals,” and he could have been singing about Jeff Epstein and his dirtbag friends.

The then-first lady of the US Virgin Islands was a well-paid employee of already convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — and even helped him get visas “to bring victims to his island,” according to court documents.

The startling allegations about Cecile de Jongh were made by JPMorgan Chase in response to a lawsuit brought by the islands’ attorney general over the banking giant’s own years-long financial support of the now-dead pervert.

In a filing Wednesday, the bank again made the accusation that the islands’ “government officials actively facilitated Epstein’s crimes” — with the first lady “his ‘primary conduit’ for spreading money and influence.”

De Jongh ran Epstein’s business operations for several years — including when her husband, John de Jongh, was the territory’s governor, noted the filing, which included dozens of emails.

In 2007 — the year her husband took office — de Jongh was paid $200,000 in salary and bonuses by Epstein, who also paid for the power couple’s kids’ education, the documents show.

“First Lady de Jongh explicitly advised Epstein on how to buy control of the [islands’] political class” and how to pay “politicians to ensure their ‘loyalty and access,'” the filing alleges.

The first lady “proved to be a ready partner” in helping Epstein “freely transport and exploit young women” with “impunity” to his private islands, the filing alleges.*** https://nypost.com/2023/06/16/ex-us-virgin-islands-first-lady-helped-get-epstein-victims-visas-court-docs/

Whitney Webb researched Epstein and his crime. Her thesis is that purpose of Epstein bringing all these dirtbag, rich leaders in to his crimes was so that he could blackmail world leaders. Details at https://www.theblaze.com/shows/glenn-beck-podcast/whitney-webb-jeffrey-epstein.

Be glad we have a 1st Amendment.

By Rep. Mike Gallagher - As part of a push to "sinicize" religion, the Chinese Communist Party has embarked on a 10-year project to rewrite the Bible and other religious texts.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus famously confronts the accusers a woman caught committing adultery, saying "let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone at her." ***

A possible sneak preview of what a Bible with socialist characteristics might look like appeared in a Chinese university textbook in 2020. The rewritten Gospel of John excerpt ends, not with mercy, but with Jesus himself stoning the adulterous woman to death. [emphasis added]

Across Henan province, local CCP officials forced Protestant churches to replace the Ten Commandments with Xi Jinping quotes. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me," became diktats like: "Resolutely guard against the infiltration of Western ideology." *** https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/chinese-communist-party-rewriting-bible

After arresting him in 2018 with meth, several guns, and more than 500 rounds of ammunition, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office called him a “prolific thief and career criminal.” Calhoun’s most recent convictions came in November 2019, when he pleaded guilty in separate cases to a raft of felonies, including burglary, unauthorized possession of a stolen vehicle, and injuring a police officer and a police dog when they attempted to arrest him.*** He was released on July 22, 2021.

Eh, they all look alike, right?

Manuel Diego Soza had no idea the trouble ahead when he tossed his old Texas license plate in the trash at an AutoZone store earlier this year.

Months after throwing away the old plate and putting his new Colorado plates on his silver Subaru Forester, police officers showed up to Soza’s Denver apartment and took him to jail on theft charges.

Their investigation hinged on the expired Texas license plate. A Hispanic man had walked out of a Walmart store with a stolen $199 speaker and climbed into a vehicle bearing that license plate. A Westminster police detective said Soza, who is also Hispanic, was “clearly” the thief.***

the expired Texas license plate was registered to Soza’s silver Subaru Forester, not a black Subaru Outback. Soza had a separate, active Colorado vehicle registration for the silver Subaru Forester, police records show.

Arrick then pulled up a picture of Soza, who moved to Colorado in 2021 and works as an attorney, and compared it to a surveillance photo of the man who stole the speaker. She concluded the two Hispanic men were one and the same.

“The suspect who stole the merchandise is clearly Manuel Diego Soza,” she wrote in a report.

But that conclusion was flawed, Soza contends. Beyond the neck tattoo, the man in the photo was believed to be between 18 and 25 years old, with a height of about 5 feet, 3 inches; Soza is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 32 years old.

“He had a neck tattoo, he didn’t look anything like me,” Soza said. “He was just another Hispanic male. I assume (the detective) saw my name and was like, ‘Hispanic male, this matches somehow.'”

Soza said he felt deeply embarrassed when he was handcuffed at his apartment complex, walked to a police car and taken to jail, where he spent about six hours behind bars before being released on bail.*** https://www.denverpost.com/2023/07/17/westminster-theft-arrest-false-manuel-soza-attorney/

Complicated obstructing justice case

Two whistleblowers, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley and an anonymous whistleblower referred to as “Whistleblower X,” have also alleged that the Justice Department interfered in [Hunter] Biden’s criminal investigation by blocking David Weiss, the lead U.S. attorney on the case, from bringing charges in the jurisdiction of his choice and denied his request for special counsel status. But the Justice Department and Weiss have denied that Weiss was blocked, claiming he had complete authority in the investigation.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/fbi-told-agent-confirmed-testimony-decline-answering-questions

During the investigation of Hunter Biden a

former supervisory special agent confirmed on Monday that the FBI and Secret Service were tipped off about an interview with the younger Biden on the day before the interview was scheduled to occur.

According to the testimony, IRS and FBI criminal investigators were instructed to stand down outside of Biden's house on the day of the interview and told not to approach Biden until he called them.

House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) stated that as a result of the tipoff in December 2020, Biden was never interviewed as part of the investigation.

"The NIGHT BEFORE our team interviewed the former FBI supervisory special agent who confirmed key portions of the IRS whistleblowers’ testimony, the agent received a letter from the FBI directing him to “DECLINE TO RESPOND” to our committee’s questions regarding our ongoing Biden Family investigation," Comer said in a statement on Tuesday. "This is just another account of the Biden Administration attempting to intimidate critical witnesses in this investigation. Regardless of their tactics, there will be accountability."

Couldn’t happen to a nicer municipal gov’t

Seattle, Washington, is experiencing a well-deserved onslaught of legal trouble for its handling of the George Floyd riots of 2020. Lawyers for teenage shooting victim Robert West are next in line to hold it accountable.

West and a friend tried to escape the barricaded “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” that the Black Lives Matter mob had established. They were shot in their car, costing West his eye and part of his skull. His friend lost his life, prompting his father to file a wrongful death lawsuit just weeks ago.

"Through their actions and inactions, the city of Seattle, Seattle agencies, Seattle employees, the County of King, the State of Washington, their agents and elected officials are responsible for the preventable and predictable significant injuries of Robert West," West's attorneys said in their notice of claims.

The city, as they point out, “aided and abetted” the illegal occupation by purposefully pulling police out. Victims of the anarchist experiment learned the hard way, through property damage, at least six shootings, and a lack of medical assistance, that structured law enforcement is necessary. The city has already settled a case with business owners with a $3.6 million payout for the destruction.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/seattles-chaz-reckoning-continues

“a suspect threatened to “kill this n—” because his iPhone password was too long”

***The number of holdups reported by the Metropolitan Police Department has exploded this year by nearly 60% as thieves brazenly confront citizens outside bars, public libraries and the victims’ own apartments.

The wave of robberies are contributing to the sense of randomness that has accompanied the District’s stunning surge in violent crime in the first six months of 2023.***

Robberies that don’t involve a loss of life are equally as jarring given how suddenly the criminals pounce.

Police said that four different victims were robbed within a six-minute period Saturday in the Adams Morgan and Kalorama neighborhoods.

Each time, police said the suspects quickly pulled up in a vehicle, flashed a handgun and took the victims’ property before speeding off.***

Saturday’s rapid robbery spree was similar to one that police thwarted a day earlier in Northwest.

Three 18-year-old suspects — Rasheme Holmes, of Southeast, Trinity Nash, of Southeast, and Javon Avents, of Northeast — were taken into custody on July 14 after police said they robbed six people in less than 24 hours across the District.***

One of the victims was a White House staffer who was threatened with being stabbed if she didn’t hand over her purse near the Mount Pleasant Library, according to court documents. Another victim who was robbed on Fuller Street NW told police that a suspect threatened to “kill this n—” because his iPhone password was too long.

Robberies may also be a way for people looking to dabble in more serious crime.

MPD arrested 19-year-old Isaiah Matthews on Tuesday after police said he stole a victim’s car keys at gunpoint in D Street SE.

But Matthews has a criminal record that includes prior misdemeanor assault and threats offenses where he wasn’t kept behind bars for long.*** https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/jul/20/violent-thieves-dc-target-pedestrians-cyclists-dri/

Nelie notes

→ Wired magazine says don’t buy this great security camera: What is safety? Why do you want it? Maybe instead of being all “Why isn’t this tech magazine reviewing tech,” you should be interrogating yourself. Here is Wired magazine this week:

The problem, you see, is that there is software that “allows Ring owners to send videos they’ve captured with their Ring video doorbell cameras and outdoor security cameras to law enforcement.”

What’s most upsetting is that Wired’s Gear team members have very nicely asked Ring to stop letting people easily send clips from their doorbell cams to the cops, but Ring doesn’t obey the Gear team edicts. From the review: “Multiple members of WIRED’s Gear team have spoken to Ring over the years about this feature. The company has been clear that it’s what customers want.” Ring has incurred the wrath of the Gear team, who announce: do not buy the great home security camera, for it is too good. If someone kidnaps your kids, maybe they just needed those kids, okay? Have you ever thought about the kidnapper’s need for a little privacy here? It’s called empathy.

Cartels fuel shoplifiting?

Mexican cartels are quietly expanding their global criminal empires to include mass theft operations targeting big-box stores, luxury retail brands, and small businesses, then selling the stolen goods online and laundering the profits through Chinese brokers.

The same transnational criminal organizations, known as cartels, that have facilitated the greatest-ever human smuggling operation across the U.S.-Mexico border over the past two years and simultaneously caused the fentanyl epidemic in America now have a hand in organized retail crime.

“It’s a $70 billion a year enterprise — organized retail crime,” said Eric DeLaune, special agent in charge at the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations, HSI, arm within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, during an announcement this week of a public-private partnership between HSI; U.S. attorneys in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi; and industry leaders from Albertsons, Home Depot, and Walmart to create an Organized Retail Crime Alliance.

These organized theft rings are not merely shoplifters — they are part of a larger band of criminals that has infiltrated every state.

"In contrast to shoplifters, organized theft groups engage in large-scale thefts which rely on teams of 'boosters' who steal goods from major retail stores, 'cleaners' who disguise the origins of stolen merchandise, 'fencers' who resell products through brick-and-mortar fronts and major e-commerce websites, and professional money launderers who funnel illicit profits to criminals orchestrating schemes," HSI wrote in a June press release.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/business/mexican-drug-cartels-behind-surge-in-retail-thefts

Good column Hunter Biden and the ‘Deep State’

July 24, 2023 https://www.thefp.com/p/hunter-biden-and-the-deep-state

The gist of the article is that DoJ and the FBI destroyed their credibility with the Steele dossier, denying that Hunter’s laptop was Hunter’s laptop when it was in FBI possession, publicly saying that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation, interfering in and slow walking the prosecution of Hunter’s tax cheating. The good news is that some federal employees stood up and told the truth.

Broken windows catches a lot more than vandals.

Nearly half of NYC fare-evaders arrested this year had open warrants for other crimes — including at least one accused killer.

Of the 2,502 people cuffed for fare beating this year, 1,136 — or just over 45% — were already being sought for arrest when they tried to hitch a free ride on the city’s transit system, according to disturbing new NYPD data obtained by The Post.

NYPD Transit Chief Michael Kemper told the MTA Board Monday that fare-beaters nabbed this year also had warrants for weapon possession, felony assault, and drugs.

Many fare-beaters also came strapped — with more than 200 caught carrying deadly weapons, including 13 guns and over 200 knives, Kemper told the MTA Board.***

The shocking numbers come a month after Claude White, a homeless man accused of fatally stabbing Tavon Silver to death last month on a southbound 4 train, was charged — days later after he was caught trying to skip out on a subway fare in Harlem wearing blood-stained pants, cops said.

White, 33, was squabbling with Silver, 32, over drugs, then grabbed a steak knife Silver had on him, and plunged it twice into his chest, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said this week. White then tossed the knife into the subway tunnel, threw his shirt in the trash, and fled the 23rd Street station, Bragg said.

White, who had been on parole and was wanted in connection with a bank robbery on June 6, now faces murder and weapon charges. *** https://nypost.com/2023/07/22/nearly-half-of-fare-beaters-caught-this-year-have-had-active-warrants/

Spying on U.S. citizens

The FBI improperly used surveillance powers to conduct searches for information on a U.S. senator, a state lawmaker and a state judge, according to court records released Friday as part of a public records request.

The FBI’s improper use of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was documented in an opinion from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) and is sure to pose challenges for an intelligence community lobbying for the reauthorization for what it sees as one of its most vital tools.

The tool — which allowed for warrantless spying on foreigners located abroad — has long been criticized as a backdoor tool for gaining information on Americans who may be communicating with those being surveilled.

And critics complain the information gathered by the agency through 702 is too easily tapped for investigations with no foreign nexus.

The FISC outlined three examples of instances where FBI personnel conducted searches of “sensitive query terms,” like those of U.S. public officials or candidates, without first seeking approval from the FBI’s deputy director.

“In June 2022, an analyst conducted four queries of Section 702 information using the last names of a U.S. Senator and a state senator, without further limitation,” the opinion states.*** https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4110850-fbi-improperly-used-702-surveillance-powers-on-us-senator/

Surprised he didn’t offer her coke/weed/meth

A disgraced Wisconsin prosecutor secretly recorded himself having sex with three women, including one he was prosecuting.

Daniel Steffen, 52, was an assistant district attorney in Burnett County, Wisconsin, during his crimes. He was heard in at least one of the recordings promising leniency in exchange for sex, according to the criminal complaint.

He was sentenced to 18 months in prison after he was convicted in April. He faced a maximum of 10.5 years behind bars.***

Steffen's illegal escapades between 2018 and 2020 were exposed after a witness told investigators that Victim 1 "openly talked about having sexual relations with a Burnett County ADA in exchange for leniency on criminal cases."

The woman was in court after violating an order of protection against her child's father. She ultimately had to pay a fine.

Victim 1 originally denied having relations with Steffen while she was being questioned by investigators, but she later admitted to it after they told her she was seen in a recording on Steffen's iPad, which was seized as evidence, court documents said.*** https://www.foxnews.com/us/attorney-creepily-winks-camera-secret-sex-tapes-woman-he-was-prosecuting-court-docs

democracy in California

A local school board president in California has been inundated with threats that left-wing activists will dismember her, kill her children, and slaughter her pets. Her crime? Saying that teachers should not keep parents in the dark if their children begin to “identify” as transgender.

The new Chino Valley (California) Unified School District Board of Education policy states that school officials will notify parents in writing within three days if a child seeks to “identify” as a gender “other than the student’s biological sex,” use different pronouns, adopt a different name, or use the restroom or join a sports team of the opposite sex.

The board adopted the resolution Thursday by a 4-1 vote, with member Donald Bridge casting the lone dissenting vote.

“The next morning, our district got a phone call” from an anonymous caller threatening “to kill me, and they said that they were going to dismember” school board president Sonja Shaw, the official revealed on “Washington Watch With Tony Perkins” on Monday. Police alerted Shaw to the threat shortly before a previous interview on the show last Friday.

Then Shaw looked at her district email account, where she said she saw messages stating, “You’re going to die,” with a series of profane epithets. “Your children are going to die, and your animals are going to die.” For a “point of reference, they would name what kind of animals I had,” Shaw added.

“I also got notification that people who identify as being in the terrorist organization Antifa posted on their website, ‘We declare war on Sonja Shaw,’” Shaw told Perkins, adding that the group posted her address. “They said, ‘We know where you sleep,’” the same message an angry mob screamed outside the home of then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson in 2018. “They said things like, ‘Use all force possible to stop her.’”*** https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/07/25/radicals-threaten-kill-dismember-school-board-president-adopting-parental-rights-policy/

JP Morgan gets scuzzier and scuzzier

Jeffrey Epstein brought a slew of deep-pocketed clients to JPMorgan Chase — including Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who became one of the bank’s biggest clients with investments worth more than $4 billion, according to court papers.

A bombshell legal filing in the US Southern District of New York late Monday revealed that “Brin became a client of JPMorgan’s San Francisco Private Bank in 2004” — one year after Epstein introduced Brin to Jes Staley, a former executive at JPMorgan.

“The overall Brin relationship is one of the largest in the Private Bank, of +$4BN,” wrote banker Robert A. Keller in a memo, who the documents claim was introduced to Epstein by Staley.

Brin, who’s also behind the single-family office Bayshore Global, also met with the CEO of JPMorgan’s asset and wealth management division, Mary Erdoes, plus other JPMorgan executives and members of Bayshore, the memo filed in court states.

“We work very closely with the Sergey Brin family office … and communicate with them at least 1 x per day,” Keller added on the memo.**** https://nypost.com/2023/07/25/jeffrey-epstein-helped-jpmorgan-land-googles-sergey-brin-as-client/

Classic left wing ethic complainers

EXCLUSIVE — A Supreme Court advocacy group alleging ethics violations among justices including Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito likely failed to disclose its own apparent lobbying in violation of federal law, according to experts.

Fix the Court, a charity that used to be a project of the New Venture Fund, an influential nonprofit group that the left-wing dark money behemoth and for-profit consultancy Arabella Advisors manages, is helping to lead a seemingly coordinated campaign demanding Supreme Court justices publicize more about their finances. Those mounting efforts haven't stopped Fix the Court from not reporting activities on financial disclosures that could constitute grassroots lobbying, multiple tax lawyers told the Washington Examiner.

That Fix the Court may have not disclosed lobbying could further undercut its position as a watchdog committed to "transparency." In May, Fix the Court Executive Director Gabe Roth notably panicked after unwittingly leaking to the Washington Examiner his group's donors, which included liberal entities such as the New Venture Fund, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Senate Democrats last week advanced a bill supported by Roth called the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act, which aims to mandate a code of conduct for justices.**** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/courts/fix-the-court-supreme-court-ethics-lobbying-disclosure
