Henry Ruggs III is going to jail. The ex-NFL player killed a woman while driving 156mph on a city street. Her car burst into flames. He pleaded guilty to drunk driving.

White, ex-Marine was arrested for manslaughter in NYC resulting from an incident on the subway. The Marine restrained the man with a choke hold while waiting for the police. The man was threatening passengers and had 40+ prior felony arrests. The man died. If the deceased were white, or the Marine Black, no arrest would have been made.

For 2.5 years the southern border has been overrun with illegal immigrants. About 5-6 million people have crossed into the US, unvetted. Over 1500 have died. 100+ are on the terrorist watch list. This crisis is completely manufactured by Biden and the democrats. Their plan is to get 5-6 million more voters, especially in Texas and a few other red states. Biden has said he wants amnesty for these illegal immigrants. Voting rights. In total, this is the most destructive act by any US President.

Biden used a fake document during his last debate with Trump. He claimed that 51 intelligence agents signed a letter that claimed the Hunter laptop story was bogus. Biden needed a “talking point.” This is election interference, same with the FBI telling Twitter what info. to censor. All in favor of the democrats. Trump never had a chance!

The FAA has reported a record high number of unruly passengers over the last 2.5 years. The airlines reported 5,960 cases in 2021, and 3000+ in 2022. This year the incidents are slightly lower. Why the increase? These passengers are new to air travel and do not know how to behave. Mayor Pete should solve this problem before we have a tragedy.

Slave reparations are being proposed in California. Current price tag is $800 billion. The plan is political and illogical. And-another welfare scheme. Where is that money coming from?

Coach Prime at Colorado U. is losing players. Seems like a buffalo stampede. I hope he knows what he is doing.

I do not support giving illegal immigrants driver’s licenses. I think it is a step in the wrong direction, and further incentivizes more illegals. The vast majority of immigrants crossing our southern border have the equivalent of 8th grade educations. Many are criminals, and almost all receive social welfare benefits, including free healthcare and education. And regrettably, almost all are unvetted. We do not know who they are. So-granting them driving privileges seems dangerous. Proponents say granting licenses will reduce hit and run accidents. What? I got my driver’s license at age 16 after taking driver’s ed. and passing a driving test. Same with my children. And-I carry auto insurance. Nothing less than this should be “granted” to illegal immigrants.
