Is there finally justice for Ashli? Settlement in Principle Reached in Ashli Babbitt Lawsuit — The Young Woman Gunned Down in US Capitol on Jan. 6.

Ashli Babbitt, American patriot and victim of government violence.

Is there finally justice for Ashli? Settlement in Principle Reached in Ashli Babbitt Lawsuit — The Young Woman Gunned Down in US Capitol on Jan. 6.

After being unarmed and gunned down by a rogue cop with numerous citations in his file of incompetence, the family of Ashli has come to a settlement with the government.

The lawsuit extensively details the history of incompetence and multiple revocations of firearm privileges for previous dangerous incidents involving Officer Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who murdered Babbitt in cold blood.

This includes a failure “to meet or complete semiannual firearms qualification requirements,” leaving a “loaded Glock 22—the same firearm he used to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt – in a bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center,” and a shooting into a moving vehicle stolen by teenagers, where the off-duty cop reportedly struck homes nearby with his bullets.

If true, off to jail. Sen. Grassley Releases Emails of Biden FBI Agents Plotting and Celebrating Peter Navarro’s Indictment.

On Thursday, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) made public internal emails from Trump-hating FBI agents “planning and celebrating” the indictment of Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro. However, Grassley noted, when a criminal referral was issued for Nellie Ohr the FBI and DOJ chose not to press charges against her.

Nellie Ohr is a notable figure linked to Fusion GPS, a research and intelligence firm that played a crucial role in the creation of the infamous Steele dossier. This dossier contained allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election. Steele dossier was actually written by a Russian Spy.

Is this a Federal crime? Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ guidance for dealing with ICE agents.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers calls on state employees to defy the US federal government and help illegal aliens avoid ICE.

Is this a Federal crime? Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ guidance for dealing with ICE agents.
Among the so-called “guidance” given to state workers: From CBS News.

Refuse to answer any questions, even about known individuals ICE is seeking.
Deny agents access to paper files and computers, even if they present a warrant.
Block agents from entering non-public areas, unless they produce a judicial warrant.
Demand agents sit in isolated public areas and force them to wait indefinitely while contacting attorneys.
Order agents to leave and return later if a state lawyer isn’t immediately reachable.

The Wisconsin Assembly last month passed a bill requiring county sheriffs to comply with federal immigration authorities. Evers has said he is likely to veto the measure.

Democrats introduced a competing proposal that would block state and local government officials from cooperating with federal deportation efforts unless there is a judicial warrant.

Why this is a good thing.Gen Z workers increasingly opt out of college and into the trades: ‘There are about 2 million fewer college students.

First that’s 2 million less protestors. But all kidding aside, these young folks are seeing that they not only can make as much if not more, but also are finding it easier to start their own business.

“Industries like construction, manufacturing, and trade, transportation, and utilities have had lower termination rates than sectors where many white collar workers are concentrated, like professional and business services,” he says.

And with Baby Boomers slowly exiting the workforce, more opportunities could open up. “As these folks age out,” says Tremper, “Gen Z workers are going to be able to move into a space where they’re building their own businesses, adding to the dynamism of the economy and really providing a lot more opportunity for themselves financially.”

Thousands of Members of the Amish Community Are Helping to Rebuild Western North Carolina.

Teamwork.

Thousands of Members of the Amish Community Are Helping to Rebuild Western North Carolina.

North Carolina is still reeling from the massive damage caused by Hurricane Helene last fall. While the cleanup and rebuilding has been slow and steady, there is still a ton of work to do.

One group that has stepped in to lend their tremendous building skills is the Amish community. There are currently thousands of Amish people, mainly from Pennsylvania, who are helping to rebuild in the western part of the state, where the most damage is.

The national media has completely ignored this amazing contribution from the Amish. These people deserve praise for their help.

Local NBC affiliate WCNC has reported on it:

‘We still see tremendous damage’ | Amish community becomes part of Chimney Rock’s comeback story

It’s been more than six months since Hurricane Helene swept through western North Carolina, leaving behind destruction and hardship. Few places were hit as hard as Chimney Rock Village, but now, signs of progress are everywhere.

The recovery effort has been powered by an outpouring of support, with volunteers and donations helping to restore the beloved mountain town.

“When we look around, we still see tremendous damage and realize it will take a long time to build back,” Mayor Peter O’Leary said. “But at the same time, we have made tremendous progress, and that is very encouraging.”

Chimney Rock Village is not just rebuilding, it is redefining itself. Every business in the village sustained some level of damage. While full recovery will take time, Chimney Rock is finding its footing again through the kindness of others.

“We come out here every morning, working mostly in Chimney Rock and in Bat Cave,” Amos Stoltzfus, a volunteer with an Amish community from Pennsylvania called Great Needs Trust, said.

The Amish are master builders. Just take a look at this:

Did it take her ten years to finish law school? Criminal given a pass.

Dylan Bryan Adams – Walz staffer arrested for keying Tesla

Did it take her ten years to finish law school? Criminal given a pass.

A person who works for Governor Waltz according to Minnesota law committed six felonies that caused $20,000 dollars in damages. And this person was not charged.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) said Monday it will not seek criminal charges against 33-year-old Dylan Adams, who allegedly vandalized at least six Tesla vehicles, causing $20,000 in damage.

Statement from the police who were upset.

“The Minneapolis Police Department did its job. It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified, and arrested a suspect, and presented a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney Office for consideration of charges. This case impacted at least six different victims and totaled over $20,000 in damages. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Hennepin County Attorney should be directed solely at her office. Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same.”

Celebrating 250 years of Freedom.

Last night was the 250th Anniversary of Paul Revere’s famous ride.Revere mounted a borrowed horse and rode into the countryside to alert colonial militias and warn patriot leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington. Although he was stopped by British patrols before reaching Concord, his message had already been passed along by fellow riders William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott.

And today we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the battle at Lexington- Concord.
