Tuesday tidbits

Mucho controversy over Springfield, OHs overstock of Haitian refugees. No, no one credible alleges they are stealing Fido and Puss-puss to make breakfast (maybe a few ducks or swans allegedly missing but no one sleeps with their pet swan. We,, you wouldn’t think so, but with more genders appearing daily, who know if eiderborking is gonna show up.) Howevah:

Springfield, Ohio resident Mark Sanders detailed Thursday how the influx of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants has left a devastating impact on his community’s small population.

A big problem, he says, is the impact on the roads and driving: “Our roads are like it’s like ‘Escape from New York’… You don’t know if you’re going to get from point A to point B without getting run over,” he said, referring to the 1981 movie.

Residents say auto wrecks have also spiked since migrants arrived.  Fox News

Have driven in Jamaica, China, Taiwan, Brazil…seems like traffic laws are considered as suggestions. Just what we need. Isaac is dead, so no chandeliers?

George Gascon, George Soros’ bought-and-paid-for DA in  Los Angeles, is familiar to us as a typical defund cops/defend criminals/soft on law enforcement kind of guy, the kind of return-on-investment Soros can be proud of. But now he is getting sued – by his own employees.

The Association of Deputy District Attorneys (ADDA) sought information about Diana Teran, a top Gascon aide who is facing felony charges, in May and received an incomplete response, according to a 200-page court filing unveiled Thursday. Prosecutors sought her emails and information about whether she remained on the county payroll after her indictment. They also wanted to know if county taxpayers were on the hook for her criminal defense.

The lawsuit seeks to force Gascon’s office to disclose the requested records, to declare the DA in violation of the CPRA and to pay the ADDA’s attorney fees for the lawsuit and the denied requests.

“They have repeatedly stalled, delayed or outright ignored numerous requests,” said John Lewin, a deputy district attorney who is separately suing Gascon in a whistleblower retaliation lawsuit.

The DA is facing more than 20 lawsuits from individual prosecutors as well as four from their union.  Fox News II

And Dick Blumenthal – yep, DaNang Dick himself – says we are all going to be shocked by the report on the Trump assassination attempt.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., predicted that Americans will be “shocked” and “appalled” when lawmakers release their interim report on the assassination attempt on former President Trump and the security failures of those involved in protecting the GOP presidential nominee.

…Blumenthal told Fox News. “But I think they also ought to be appalled and astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to be more forthcoming, to be as candid and frank, as it should be to them in terms of providing information.”   Fox News III

Who could imagine a government agency would be less than forthcoming? It does seem to be the norm nowadays, though….perhaps it would help if Congress set deadlines like ‘Tuesday at 2PM’ and then filed to have unresponsive agency heads fired/impeached/etc. at 2:30PM.

And as a follow-up – we spoke earlier in the year about a deck of training slides at Ft. Bragg Ft. Liberty which questionably referred to several different groups as “terrorists.” Congress is going to be asking the Army some well-deserved questions about this.

The Army recently wrote back, admitting that the slides “inaccurately referenced” pro-life groups like Right to Life and Operation Rescue, and a slew of pro-animal and green groups like PETA, as “terrorist organizations.”

(Agnes) Schaefer, (assistant secretary of the Army for manpower and Reserve affairs) wrote that the training deck, which was used to teach 9,100 Army soldiers at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, between 2017 and 2024, was “inconsistent with Army’s antiterrorism policy and training.”

Can’t blame Biden’s folks on this one, although brought into use in 2017 strongly suggests it was compiled during the Obama administration. But to remain in use 8 years?!

The slides were used to conduct terror awareness training for soldiers assigned to guarding the gates at Fort Liberty. Schaefer said the slides were not shared outside of Fort Liberty.  Fox News IV

So if you have a PETA sticker on your car, or a ‘Stop Abortion Now’ the gate guards need to search yer car extra carefully? What numbnuts let this through the first 5 minutes. Eight years?
