In a statement Friday, DHS said the driver who was killed “intentionally ran over a Homeland Security Investigation special agent,” resulting in another agent firing “defensive shots to protect himself, his fellow agents, and the general public.”

…

HSI officers were assisting South Padre Island police by redirecting traffic through a busy intersection after a vehicle accident with several injuries.

A blue, four-door Ford with a driver and passenger approached the officers, who ordered the driver to stop. The report does not say why. Initially, the driver didn’t respond to commands but did eventually come to a stop, according to the report.

Agents then surrounded the vehicle, telling those inside to get out, but the driver “accelerated forward” and struck an HSI special agent “who wound up on the hood of the vehicle,” the report said. An HSI supervisory special agent standing by the side of the car then fired his weapon multiple times through the open driver’s side window, and the vehicle stopped.

Same story, different murder. To be sure, at least one of the many officers present at the incident had their body cam turned on, right? Right?

Absolutely agree. 5-star reviews are cheap to buy in bulk anyway so I don’t trust them.

8 Best Places To Buy Google Reviews (Updated List)

My own preference is to go through the 1 and 2-star reviews looking for patterns. Any company can have a bad product slip through quality control and reach a customer. But a company that lets 15 products with the same problem get to customers likely has poor QC. I also check those low-star reviews for replies from a customer service rep. Like I said, any company can have a bad product reach a customer. What the company does when that happens makes a world of difference.

I once had an air fryer that had a switch stop working within a month of buying it. When I contacted the company, they had me cut the power cord and send them a picture of the fryer showing the cut cord, and immediately sent out a new one which has worked perfectly ever since.

Only if the wealthy have their money invested in real estate, right? If they’re invested in stocks and hedge funds and such, then a property tax increase isn’t going to cost them as much as a straight up wealth tax.

Pizza-gaters never actually cared about children. Pizza-gate was never more than a fictionel club to swing at democrats. Now that their own team is being credibly accused of child rape they assume it is a lie as well.

That’s the genius of the GOP. They craft all these lies accusing the Democrats of crimes that Republicans are actively committing. Then when their own crimes come to light, the GOP base assumes that the accusations against the Republicans are also lies and dismiss them without thought.

Every accusation is a confession is literally the GOP modus operandi.

You keep talking as if they are just witnesses to a crime that won’t testify. It is far, far more than that.

Federal authorities blocked the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from the crime scene. They gatherer evidence from the crime scene while the BCA went to a judge force access to the scene and even got a search warrant. Now they have contaminated the crime scene and are withholding gathered evidence from the local authorities.

Now you consider this in the context of a person doing this. Let’s say you kill someone and claim self defense. When the police show up to investigate the death, your friends block the police from the scene, going so far as to ignore a signed warrant. Your buddies then take all the evidence they collected while the cops were getting their warrant and transport it and you to another state so the cops can’t talk to you or see the evidence. Do you think the cops would consider your buddies guilty of a crime?

This isn’tjust refusing to cooperate. DHS/ICE took evidence from the crime scene and is refusing to turn it over. They also blocked local law enforcement access to the scene. This is at minimum obstruction.

Cool. I’m a ruggedly handsome, millionaire, mystery writer who solves crimes with the NYPD and is banging e really hot homicide detective.

This is really the best answer, I think. Except the agreement you have to sign to take Visa cards used to stipulate that you could not offer a discount for cash.

Visa’s rules have changed in favor of the merchants at last…… Visa has updated their Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, and the rules changed benefit all business owners in all 50 states ! …Now, you can offer a discount when your customer pays with cash in efforts to incentivize your customers and avoid having to pay credit card processing fees. (Therefore if you sell a product or service for $100, you get to finally keep all $100 of the sale….Not $96.00 )

Good point. That would bring it up by at least a couple hundred thousand bucks.

Anton has far more than 10-15 videos. He’s done more than that in the last 2 weeks and he’s been making videos on all manner of science topics for years.

It’s probably more likely that it was another research balloon…

Purchased for less than $15 and operated by the ham radio hobbyist group Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade, a silvery, 32-inch-wide pico balloon called “K9YO-15” was launched from a nature preserve north of Chicago in October 2022. It dangled a 10-gram (0.35-ounce) payload that included a radio tracker, a solar panel and a long antenna wire. Some 123 days later, on February 11, 2023, K9YO-15 was on its seventh circumnavigation of the globe, its hobbyist operators say, when they lost contact with the pico balloon near Alaska’s border with the Yukon. This was the same day that a U.S. F-22 fighter jet shot down a UFO using a nearly half-million-dollar Sidewinder missile in the same general vicinity. K9YO-15 has not been heard from since.

Half million dollar missile to take out a $15 balloon. At least using a laser is probably cheaper.

I’m in a very rural part of the USA. My electric, telephone(landlines which I don’t have), and internet are all coops. They are all very efficient and inexpensive. I’m very happy with them.

We have already gotten a taste of what a future with facial recognition on Meta glasses may look like. In 2024, two Harvard students developed a project that allows Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses wearers to identify people’s faces and use public databases to find names, addresses, phone numbers, and relatives.

Yep, and since this is Meta, you may rest assured that they will be harvesting all that facial recognition data along with the wearer’s detailed location data in order to sell a subscription service to ICE, DHS, and law enforcement in general.

Per the article they are working on that, which is good since cattle farming is not exactly eco friendly.

The researchers are currently investigating the use of other metals with this nanocluster fabrication technique. They are also testing natural polymers as more abundant replacements for bovine proteins to facilitate potential manufacturing.

Researchers first discovered TMVII in parts of Europe and Asia several years ago. In June 2024, doctors in New York City reported the first U.S. cases, and there have been scattered reports in other major cities since.

This, like so many other things, started elsewhere. Lots of diseases migrate to the USA because so many people travel too the states all the time.

Newsom says he’s eager to pitch a big tent for the Democratic Party, declaring that he welcomes the likes of former US senator Joe Manchin as well as New York’s socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani in the fold. “I want it to be the Manchin to Mamdani party,” Newsom said in November.

Newsom can fuck right the hell off. Manchin represents everything that is wrong with the Democratic party and so, apparently, does Newsom.

I think they are going as often as they can. There are only four computers that they and all the 535 Senators/Reps are allowed to use to view the documents, so scheduling limits how much time any one of them can go.

Now knowing this, I have to ask who else in congress is using up computer access time and not talking about what they’ve learned? Are there members scheduling time for the sole purpose of limiting the access time of people like Ro and Massie?

They need to make sure they have operations everywhere in the ten months. Can’t risk people not being scared to vote.

Be aware that in a few states, including Minnesota, the use of a police scanner during a crime, or to evade law enforcement, can be a crime itself. If they arrest you for committing some crime, then having a scanner will get you another charge.

Dog: Ooh! Tootsie rolls!
