He was deported once.
The first Trump administration sent him back to Mexico.
He came back. Illegally. To the same state.
He was arrested for DUI. Released.
Arrested for DUI. Released.
Arrested for DUI. Released.
Arrested for DUI. ICE asked the jail to hold him.
The state refused.
He walked out.
A year later, he stabbed a 23-year-old mother, her 54-year-old mother, and her two-week-old son to death in their own home in Modesto.
He had been told to leave the country. He came back.
He had been caught four separate times for drunk driving.
He had been requested by federal immigration four separate times.
The state of California, on principle, said no every time.
And a two-week-old baby paid for it.
He should be alive.
His mother should be alive.
His grandmother should be alive.
God bless every American who refuses to call this normal.
I care about AIDS deaths in Africa
I care about poor children in 3rd world countries
I care about deaths from despots way over there
I care that good people half a world away have to deal with poverty on a level that we can’t comprehend
But I care more about an American child’s school and a combat veteran’s wellbeing and a drug addict on an American street getting into recovery more than any of those people.
And I make no apologies for that.
“Why do you need an AR-15?”
Ask the police.
Because they have them.
They have the rifles.
They have the 30-round magazines.
They have the gear politicians keep saying is too dangerous for you.
And nobody asks them why they need it.
Why?
Because the answer is obvious:
They carry it to confront violent people.
But here’s the part everyone skips…
Who meets that violent person first?
You do.
The cop shows up after the threat starts.
You’re the one already there.
No badge.
No backup.
No radio.
No team.
And the Supreme Court has already said police do not have a constitutional duty to protect you as an individual.
So if the state keeps these tools for the people who arrive second…
Why does it want to take them from the person who has to survive first?
That’s the question.
Drop your answer below — and send this to the person who still asks, “Why do you need that?”
Afternoon Folks….ZERO accountability, ZERO contrition.
Anyone who paved/cleared the way for Mike Babcock to get another opportunity in the NHL should be ashamed of themselves.
Fuck Mike Babcock
The problem isn't that billionaires haven't handed enough of their money to the government. The problem is what politicians choose to do with the money they already have. Government consistently fails to balance a budget, billions of dollars are wasted every year on fraud, yet 'progressives' tell us that just one more trillion will solve all the country's problems.
Babcock to the Oilers…dude scratched Modano to keep him from getting his 1,500 game.
Please yes, Edmonton deserves this guy! It will be an awesome S show to watch from the sidelines. 😂
On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places.
At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction.
Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that.
He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building.
I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left.
I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders.
What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration.
In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years.
I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter.
I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial.
At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not.
Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me.
Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness.
But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford.
People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war.
But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges.
By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business.
It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.
@dantypo I have an Enco Mill Drill…would’ve loved one of those but couldn’t find one that was in good shape and not way overpriced. It works, but it’s not a Bridgeport.
@_HockeyTonk He’s no Mo and never has been able to fill those shoes. Good hockey player and it’s time to see what they can do without him.
However, it seems the guys in the clubhouse like him.
I felt like this team did Pete wrong last year and it needs blown up to a certain point.
