Lee Gilley reported that his wife, Christa, had died by suicide from overdosing on drugs in their Houston home on October 7, 2024.
An autopsy revealed that Christa had died not by drug overdose but by compression of the neck. At the time of the incident, she was about eight weeks pregnant.
Four days later, her husband was arrested on capital murder charges related to the death of his wife and unborn child.
Evidence indicates there may have been a previous attempt on Christa’s life.
He pleaded not guilty and was released on a $1 million bond- one of 24 capital murder defendants free on bond pending trial.
His family paid the $100,000 cash requirement for his release on October 17, 2024.
He later removed his GPS monitor, fled to Canada and then boarded a flight to Italy on May 1, 2026.
Italy doesn’t extradite if the death penalty is a possibility.
Christa Bauer Gilley had her PhD in Physical Therapy and was the mother of two young children. She was also the main breadwinner of the family.
Shortly before Christa’s murder, Lee Gilley referred to his 2 year old son as a “f’ing fa@@ot” in public, shocking his friends.
He solicited college-aged “friends with benefits” on Reddit and had previously had an affair.
And the day he allegedly killed her, he bought an SUV without her consent, that he couldn’t afford on his own.
He is currently in custody in Italy, fighting extradition.
This whole case stinks.
Trump has suspended the Virgin Islands Housing Finance Authority (VIHFA) from receiving federal funding.
In 2017, the US government sent almost $2 billion to the US Virgin Islands, intended for recovery after Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
HUD Secretary Scott Turner recently sent letter to VIHFA letting them know that after years of fraud, corruption, and mismanagement, the suspension of federal funding would be effective immediately. .
Almost 10 years and $2 billion, USVI citizens still do not have the housing and electrical power repairs that needed to be made after catastrophic damage.
Dining & dashing is theft.
It is contemptible.
It should be made a felony requiring a minimum of 1 year of prison.
How long until certain people are refused service entirely?
Or are made to pay before their food is delivered?
@Arkypatriot I wouldn’t answer the question if I was asked. One of my adult children doesn’t have a weapon at home at this time and so answered “no”. I was outraged the question had even been asked. They were shocked by the question too.
Why are pediatricians asking parents if they have guns in the home?
How is that their business?
Who instructed them to ask that question?
Who do they submit that information to?
The Democrat Kentucky governor Andy Beshear Is going to try to appoint someone and say that Mitch McConnell is brain dead
The state of Kentucky is about to have a little constitutional crisis
Kentucky HB 622 requires vacant Senate seats be filled by special election.
Gov Andy Beshear is a criminal and he will 100% try to circumvent the law and appoint someone of his choosing. However, that person will have to be a Republican, I believe.
It will throw this state into chaos and waste money that should not be spent on the inevitable legal challenges.
He is a horrible person.
The media and Congressional Democrats are partially responsible for this.
They demonize ICE and DHS every single day.
They encourage this terrorism, and they encourage illegal immigrants to flee and try to remain in this country.
Imagine how much easier it would be if they did the right thing and advised illegals to leave the US and not to flee or fight ICE.
@DrClownPhD I get flagged on things that are in no way "sensitive" all the time. I think people who needlessly report things should have their accounts temporarily limited to exclude reporting.
Michael McCaul (R) is another high-volume stock trader in Congress, though he falls behind Ro Khanna and Gil Cisneros.
He has been in the House since 2005, when his net worth was an estimated $12 to $35 million. (He married into the Clear Channel Communications family.)
After 21 years of his Representative pay (approx $174,000), his net worth has increased to anywhere from $150 million to $300 million.
The total disclosed volume of stocks traded since the post-STOCK era is between 16,000 and 38,000 individual transactions. That's just since 2012-2013.
The total volume of his trades is between $344 million and $1.9+ billion.
His trades are heavily concentrated in family trusts/partnerships, tech, healthcare, energy, and broad index funds.
He sits on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and chaired it during the 118th Congress. He also sits on the House Committee on Homeland Security. Both of which give him unique insights into the energy sector.
He is also involved in related caucuses, such as the Congressional Semiconductor Caucus, where he is co-chair.
I imagine that helps with his tech trades, at a minimum.
Why are we allowing the members of Congress to use inside information to get filthy rich?

Does anyone believe big PHARMA doesn’t already have a cure for cancer?
They aren’t in the business of curing diseases.
They’re in the business of keeping patients sick and profits high.
So…..I guess they can announce Mitch McConnell’s tragic turn for the worse and death here in about 13-14 days?
Or does anyone believe he’s actually up and making phone calls, and looking better than he did 5 years ago?

Gilbert Cisneros (D) is typically ranked as the #2 most prolific stock trader in Congress. He has represented California in the House previously from 2019 - 2021, and his new term started in January 2025.
He has made 700–1,000+ disclosed stock trades since January 2025.
He and his wife won a $266 million lottery jackpot in 2010. He took the cash option of $165 million, and after taxes, he got about $90 million.
He was worth $78 million in January 2025, when he entered Congress. His net worth is now over $80 million.
His holdings are heavy in tech/healthcare/industrials.
He is on the House Committee on Armed Services and Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations and
Subcommittee on Military Personnel.
He is in the top 20 wealthiest members of Congress.
He seems to spend more time trading stocks than anything else.
