@VolusiaSheriff Her life - as she knew it - is over...

[Volusia Sheriff @VolusiaSheriff]

Deanna Harrell was arrested at 9:45 this morning at the SMA Healthcare Chet Bell Crisis Center. She was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail with no bond on her charges of vehicular homicide and DUI manslaughter in the death of beach toll booth attendant Tammie Jo Baker.

One of our Freedom Center Fellows just testified before Congress on the dangers of Sharia Law in America—and the Left is pushing back hard.

With new attacks already emerging, we need your support to keep going strong.

Don’t wait—we’re up against the clock.

Freya has had a calf.

Nobody saw it coming, which is the point, because bison are built so nobody sees it coming. A pregnant bison conceals the pregnancy. She gives nothing away. There is no announcement, no slowing down, no behaviour the estate manager could point to and say, there, that is an animal expecting. It is a survival trick older than the species' memory. A predator that cannot tell you are vulnerable cannot time its move.

So the estate manager did what he does every morning. He looked for Freya at the tree line at quarter to seven. She was not there.

He found her two hours later in the densest part of the wood, in a hollow she had chosen herself, standing very still over something small and dark and already on its feet.

The calf is the first born on the estate. In the wider story, the European bison was hunted down to nothing, a few dozen animals in captivity by the 1920s, every wild one gone, the entire future of the species resting on a number you could fit in a single barn. Everything alive today comes from those few. Freya comes from those few. The calf comes from those few.

Six thousand years ago, give or take, the last of the wild bison faded out of these islands. The hollow Freya chose to give birth in is on ground that has not had a bison born on it since before the people here built anything out of stone.

It has one now.

The calf was up within the hour, because a bison calf that cannot stand and move with the herd does not last the first night, and evolution does not grant extensions.

The estate manager did not approach. The whole point of the project is to want nothing from her, to let her do the one thing six thousand years of absence had made impossible, which is simply to be a bison, on this hill, raising the next one.

He watched from the track for a while. Then he wrote one line in the log and went back down to leave them to it.

The line read: "She is back. Properly back. There are two of them now."

ALERT: Michigan judge was so drunk that he crashed into a bus and was unable to recite the alphabet or count backwards.

John Chmura, 63, had been a judge in Warren, Michigan, for more than 3 decades.

Police approached Chmura after he allegedly drove his car into the back of a public SMART bus in Sterling Heights.

Stumbling out of the car, Chmura immediately told the police he was a judge.

Chmura told the police he was at an event, and when they asked how much he had to drink, Chmura responded, “I don’t know. Evidently too much.”

Police administered a field sobriety test in which Chmura could not recite the alphabet from C to N, as well as failing to count backwards from 87 to 78.

Chmura initially declined a breathalyzer test but later blew a .162, which is twice the legal limit of .08, and bloodwork done at the police station put his BAC around 1.9.

A St. Clair County prosecutor has been assigned to the case due to Chmura overseeing cases in the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office.

@catturd2 Fact. We all spend a fortune keeping the pool & enclosure clean - it makes absolutely no sense going to the beach and spending the day in the sun with the tourists. The best time to go to the beach is in the early morning - for walks...
