We’re the Only Ones Snouts in the Trough Enough

San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus, who told the county supervisors she didn’t know about her department’s request to buy 10 massage chairs, actually tried to pass off the bill for the chairs to the sheriff’s bureaus in different cities to minimize scrutiny, according to an email from her HR manager…In March… Corpus purchased two soft-serve ice cream machines for employees in the county jails. In January, the Post reported that she had purchased a $74,000 conference room table. The 22-foot by 10-foot table includes 12 “cooling fans” in the legs and 10 “lockable access doors”… At a June 24 hearing, Supervisor Speier asked Corpus why she put in a request for a $600,000 TV for the headquarters conference room.

Tell us again how “critical components of the county’s budget and operations specifically associated to programs such as Public Safety… are at significant risk”…

At least they have enough resources for “gun buybacks“…

“The Democrats’ Choice,” naturally…

We’re the Only Ones Searching Enough

FOX 2 has learned the names of individuals who a former police chief is accused of misusing the Regional Justice Information System database. Hundreds of people were allegedly searched without their knowledge and without probable cause. [More]

At least he didn’t have “ICE” in the query field…

Ain’t it something’? Two stories today about how those entrusted with surveillance powers can’t be…

We’re the Only Ones Approved Enough

Kentucky State Police Trooper James Cameron Wright has finally been indicted by the feds for multiple civil rights violations, which were not only known by his chain of command, but some of which were personally reviewed and approved by the literal head of the Kentucky State Police. This includes beatings, perjury, and more. [Watch]

Sounds like beatings all around are in order.

The Chicago Way

A federal judge ruled that a 76-year-old former Chicago alderman accused of bribery and lying to the FBI is unfit for trial, saying it would have an “adverse effect” on her health. [More]

Using that rationale, anyone up on a capital murder charge could make the same claim.

Corrupt Chicago Democrat politicians: Say it ain’t so.

Go on, say it.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

We’re the Only Ones with More than Our Cover Blown Enough

An FBI special agent who supervised other agents had sex with prostitutes during overseas assignments and domestic travels, and used an agency-issued device to pay for the encounters… [More]

So, naturally, “criminal prosecution was declined.”

The girls weren’t the only ones being $crewed…

Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Open Your Wallet Again (Not)

On June 30, Lisa Supernaugh (formerly treasurer Woody Phillips’ right hand) filed a lawsuit against NRA, in Fairfax County Circuit Court. In it, she alleges that she was forced out after reporting illegalities, and that her termination violated New York and Virginia “whistleblower” legal protections. [More]

Everybody satisfied it could never happen again so it’s OK to resume sending money…?

We’re the Only Ones Youth Oriented Enough

Boston police sergeant facing child rape charges [More]

$268K (Since when is any cop worth that much?) and he still needs a court-appointed attorney? And same question for Boston…

Shut up, George.

Naturally, it’s written in the passive voice and we can’t know anyone’s names.

We’re the Only Ones Held to Higher Standards Enough

“Former Hialeah (just west of Miami) police chief Sergio Velazquez was arrested for allegedly stealing millions of dollars from the department – including cash seized from cocaine arrests.” [More]

Thank goodness “Officers of the law are held to a higher standard of character and integrity.”

Just imagine if they weren’t!

Down in Mexico Where the Peppers Grow

Crack down on Mexican cartels after missing musicians found burned near Mexican border… Federal agencies gathered in South Texas to address the alarming issue of firearms from the United States ending up in the hands of Mexican cartels. [More]

Not sure what the connection is, but I can’t help notice Democrats who want OUR guns coming together to keep ICE from deporting Mexican criminals so that stuff like this can become a regular occurrence in a vecindario near you.

We’re the Only Ones Distributive Enough

A former Lubbock County Detention Center officer pleaded guilty Tuesday to attempting to buy a controlled substance. Taylor Millett was arrested in September of 2022 after she was caught buying fentanyl from an undercover officer with intent to distribute it to inmates inside the jail. [More]

If you’re ever arrested for exercising your Second Amendment-promised birthright, they’ll put you in gen pop and this is a representative example of government employees you’ll be at the mercy of.

Time served, eh?
