JAMES WAS ARRESTED IN JANUARY 2022 FOR THREE MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT CHARGES. THE VICTIM’S BELIEVED TO BE HIS PARENTS AND A SIBLING. THE FAMILY STATED THAT JAMES DOES NOT BELONG IN JAIL. [More]

Our State Fair is a Great State Fair
“It’s one thing to have a right to bear arms; it’s another to have legislation, like permit-less carry, that makes it easier for senseless acts of gun violence like this to be carried out in our state,” said Bazaldua. [More]
Curious. No one at NBCDFW seemed interested in asking him “How?”
Especially considering:
Entry to the fairgrounds is contingent on a security screening process. All guests will be screened for weapons either by a walk-through or hand-held detection device. Bags, purses, coolers, and similar containers will be searched to determine if any illegal, prohibited, or suspicious items are present that may pose a safety or security concern within the property.
I guess some don’t obey “gun control” edicts
Does that make Bazaldua a shameless, opportunistic blood-dancing liar?
Funny. This didn’t used to happen.
