[Breitbart] “I’m not so much concerned about his criminal past,” Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan said of Gonzales. “I’m concerned about his mental health and his ability to reintegrate into society.”
Will Flanagan, former Democrat Mayor of Fall River, Massachusetts, was sent to a hospital where he is being treated for “significant injuries” he suffered after being stabbed outside a cannabis dispensary he owns.
The Fall River Police Department said Flanagan is listed in serious but stable condition after he was stabbed outside of his Cosmopolitan Dispensary on Monday evening, according to a report by Fox News.
Flanagan had served as Fall River mayor from 2010 until 2014, when he faced a recall election after he was accused of brandishing a gun to one of his political rivals, Jasiel Correia.
As for the suspect in the stabbing of the former mayor, 31-year-old Corree Gonzales was arrested after the attack was caught on camera, according to a report by WJAR.
Gonzales has since undergone a mental health evaluation in the Democrat-controlled state, where a doctor who performed the evaluation testified in court on Wednesday, recommending further evaluation to see if the suspect can stand trial.
This was not Gonzales’ first competency hearing, WJAR reported, noting the suspect “is known to the Fall River Police Department and has a lengthy rap sheet.”

I have a proposal. Why waste usable kinetic weapons on the drug boats? Drop these Wastes of Oxygen (like this CHOAD) from about 10,000 ft. Think of how horrifying it would be to even survive that as a narco?

[NYPOST] Outspoken US Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said his party ''lost the plot'' — and the White House — when their then-leader Kamala Harris started calling President Trump a fascist.
''When Vice President Harris referred to President Trump as a 'fascist' — I knew absolutely we lost the plot at that point,'' Fetterman told Fox News' ''Hannity'' on Wednesday night.
''If you call the president or someone like a fascist, you are effectively calling the people who are going to vote for him — then they must be fascist too — or they support fascism and those things. And that is just not true.''

I think the Dem’s lost the 2024 election at Biden’s election. The nation was in crisis, Biden was cognitively unable to perform as president, and his stoned and stupid VP was a worse option.

AFAIC, Democrat is about the worst thing you could call anyone. It conjures images of militant whackos like Hillary Clinton, Baraq Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, AOC, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Oh, don't forget Adam Schiff.
Who would want to be lumped in with that lot?

...most Hollyweird celebrities. DC is just Hollyweird for ugly people.
[DailyCaller] Republican Indiana Sen. Jim Banks unveiled a bill on Wednesday to prohibit foreign donations on ballot measures, the Daily Caller News Foundation first learned.
The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) notably prohibits foreign nationals from contributing or donating to any federal, state or local election in the U.S. Banks’ legislation, titled the “Protecting Ballot Measures From Foreign Influence Act,” would amend the FECA to prohibit contributions and donations by foreign nationals in connection with ballot initiatives and referenda, according to the bill text.
“Foreign billionaires are bankrolling left-wing ballot initiatives to push radical agendas and sway our elections. In recent years, we’ve seen millions pour into pro-abortion campaigns in states across the country,” Banks told the DCNF in an exclusive statement. “My bill closes these loopholes and stops foreign money from corrupting the vote.”
Good idea.
Between 2017 and 2022, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New York and Washington state received more than $163 million in political contributions from the corporate treasury funds of companies with over 5% aggregate foreign ownership, according to a January 2024 report from Open Secrets, a nonpartisan watchdog.
There are also various reports of foreign entities spending millions of dollars to support left-wing ballot measures in the U.S. in recent years. Liberal Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss shelled out over $800 million over the last two decades for a variety of left-wing initiatives across the nation, including pouring millions of dollars into climate change organizations and pro-abortion efforts, the DCNF previously reported.
Additionally, online fundraising platforms that fail to adequately verify donor identities may be susceptible to accepting contributions from foreign actors, whether deliberately or unintentionally, according to a December 2024 report from constitutional advocacy group American Promise.
In May, President Donald Trump signed the “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections” executive order, intended to safeguard voting systems in the U.S. from fraud, systemic error and foreign influence. The president wrote in the order that “foreign interference in our election process undermines the franchise and the right of American citizens to govern their Republic.”
“Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic,” according to the executive order. “The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election.”

Establishing Federal control of elections is a bad idea as they control too much and have no respect for Constitutional restraint. If the act is narrowly tailored and keeps to foriegn oligarchs out, I am OK with the idea. No way that a bill that actually reduces corruption and money in politics passes both houses without Trump making it a priority.

You want to look up how Vlad dealt with oligarchs interfering in politics.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
