Somos los Únicos lo Suficientemente Borrachos

Forty-three state police officers in the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas have been suspended. They are under investigation for having turned their police station into a bar and being drunk on the job. The scandal comes at a time when Tamaulipas continues to experience rising levels of cartel violence, and state police officers have been accused of not acting against cartel gunmen. [More]

If that’s their alternative, I’d say they made the right choice.

We’re the Only Ones Discredited Enough

The day after an ABC15 investigation, Prescott’s police chief sent a defensive email to city leaders attempting to discredit the news report that revealed how her department arrested a man based solely on statements from a local fire chief and his family. [Watch]

Flogging doesn’t seem enough.

With ‘Leadership’ Like This…

St. Louis County advocates push for ‘Save Lives Now’ program to address gun violence… Community advocates are urging for expanded programs that integrate conflict intervention, mental health services, and community support to prevent such incidents. [More]

Throw more money at it… when hasn’t that worked?

And Danielle Spradley’s “solution” is be more like Baltimore?

We’re the Only Ones Naked Eying Enough

A former Florissant police officer appeared in federal court on Tuesday and admitted unlawfully searching the cell phones of women for nude photos during traffic stops. [More]

That he actually found some shows how sheltered my life is. Then again, handing their phone over is a pretty good indicator of judgment.

Staying in Character

Dem congresswoman indicted for ‘particularly selfish’ alleged theft of FEMA relief funds for campaign use [More]

If you’re not afraid to steal people’s guns, why would you be afraid to steal their money?

It goes with a communist entitlement mentality:

We shouldn’t have to explain to our children why Congress took dinner off the table.

You shouldn’t have to explain why “Congress” needs to feed them.

We’re the Only Ones Unleaveable Enough

A St. Louis officer faces felony charges after allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend last week at her apartment, according to charging documents. The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has charged Dashaun Sneed, 24, with first-degree burglary and second-degree domestic assault. [More]

I wonder what Dashaun thinks about national reciprocity…

Slava Tualet

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy is battling the deepest crisis of his presidency after a money-laundering probe named members of his inner circle, including an associate accused of living in “golden toilet” luxury, a former government official has claimed. Their comments came as the president faces scrutiny over the investigation that agencies said Monday involves associates allegedly linked to a plot to siphon around $100 million from Ukraine’s energy sector during the war with Russia. [More]

“Ukraine’s energy sector,” eh?

Did the “big guy” get his cut?

Zelenskyy could’a been a contender instead of a bum.

Strong Hypocrisy Endangers Lives

The former aide of Gov. Maura Healey charged with cocaine trafficking can now post bail after a previous judge ordered him held without bail following a dangerousness hearing. [More]

You wanna talk about dangerous, how about the criminal underworld he enabled?

That and “illegally owning a firearm and ammunition” makes it pretty easy to understand why he helped her disarm the “law-abiding.”

Not Just Off, But All the Way Off

Told ya it’s not just Trump.

I’ve been called a lot of names but don’t think I’ve ever been called a “crony” before.

Funny, who’s cheering him on.
