Just Give Her Some Lovin'

Police in Arizona say they have arrested a nurse after a patient at a care facility gave birth.

The suspect has been named as Nathan Sutherland, 36, who worked at the Hacienda Healthcare clinic. He is being charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of abusing a vulnerable adult.

She's semi-vegetative, and has been under care at the clinic for over two and a half decades. He's fully vegetative, with a condition known as dirtbag-itis.

Nate's out of a job now, and likely loses his nursing license.

 

Louisiana?

Who'd a thunkit? They've gone with digital drivers' licenses, downloadable as a smartphone app. It's accepted as valid ID by law enforcement agencies there, but it'd be wise to carry a physical card as well, as other states aren't quite on board with the concept - nor is TSA.

 

The Tides, They Are A-Changin'

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted an injunction forbidding Texas from stripping Planned Parenthood of Medicaid funds Thursday, while stridently criticizing the abortion provider for its rhetoric and medical practices.

Center for Medical Progress (CMP), an anti-abortion group, had produced several undercover films at Plant Parenthood, which PP alleged had been doctored and selectively edited. Professional forensics investigators determined that no such alterations had occurred.

It's harder to beat science these days.

It may well ultimately turn out that abortion may not be a "right" after all.

 

You Can't Make This Stuff Up

As they searched for a shooting suspect, Guthrie County deputies found 18 marijuana plants and drug paraphernalia in the home of a central Iowa mayor, authorities said.

LaDonna Kennedy, 50, the mayor of Jamaica, Iowa, and her husband, Randy Kennedy, 58, were charged with drug offenses, including manufacture with intent to deliver no more than 50 kilograms of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance and two counts of failure to affix a drug stamp.

The find and busts took place at: 4:20 p.m. Wednesday....

 

Oregon Developer Case, Round Two

Prominent Democratic fundraiser Terry Bean is back in the news after he was arraigned Thursday on charges that he had sex with a teenage boy in Lane County in 2013. Court records suggest prosecutors have re-filed a case they dropped in 2015, after the alleged teen victim would not testify. The victim’s initials and the year when the crime is alleged to have taken place are the same in both cases.

This time, a Lane County grand jury indicted Bean on two counts of felony sodomy and one count of sex abuse, a misdemeanor, for having sex with a child under the age of 16.

Evidently, there were no Democratics on the grand jury; felonies are usually fine as long as the money keeps flowing.

Ol' Terry's got to be pushing 70 by now, if he's not already arrived.

 

 

Land Grab

California's putting the finishing touches on a plan to seize 1100 miles of coast:

Despite California being battered by 4-8 inches of torrential rain and flooding from an El Niño weather cycle, E&E News reported that the State of California in late January will authorize eminent domain authority for local jurisdictions to implement a "managed retreat" policy that will allow taking and demolishing coastal homes and businesses.

In order to protect "shoreline wildlife" from the effects of Man-Made Global warming, they're proposing to simply take properties via condemnation. It'll be interesting to see how all the lefties out there react to the whole condemnation thing.

 

Busted

FLORAL CITY, Fla. — A 75-year-old man in Citrus County was arrested on Tuesday for possessing and selling marijuana, deputies say.

Wow. At the pot shop down the hill from our place, their big LED sign used to advertise $50 for half an ounce, but while driving back from the grocery yesterday, I noticed that they've dropped it to $30. The pot glut here must have stung them a bit. Business, however, still seems brisk over there. Same for the shop a couple of blocks away. And same for the one across the street from the local Thriftway store. There are at least four pot-shops within half a mile from home. There are more pot-shops than bars around here.

 

Jimmy Blows It Again

Mexican authorities discovered five abandoned vehicles and at least 20 bodies at a rural location 56 miles west of McAllen, Texas, Wednesday, CNN reported. News of the discovery came just hours after CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta reported on the area’s apparent safety and tranquility.

“We’re not seeing any kind of imminent danger. There are no migrants trying to rush toward this fence here in the McAllen, Texas, area,” Acosta said in a video posted to his Twitter account Thursday. “No sign of the national emergency that [President Donald Trump] has been talking about. As a matter of fact, it’s pretty tranquil down here.”

Tranquil, apart from the four burned-out trucks, the burned-out car, and the charred bodies. Other than that, no problemo.

 

Oh, Canada

It may sound unbelievable, but Canada’s revised laws on impaired driving could see police demand breath samples from people in bars, restaurants, or even at home. And if you say no, you could be arrested, face a criminal record, ordered to pay a fine, and subjected to a driving suspension. You could be in violation of the impaired driving laws even two hours after you’ve been driving. Now, the onus is on drivers to prove they weren’t impaired when they were on the road.

Under the new law, police officers no longer need to have a “reasonable suspicion” the driver had consumed alcohol. Now, an officer can demand a sample from drivers for any reason at any time.

“The public has completely missed this one,” said Joseph Neuberger, a Toronto criminal defence lawyer.

He described a scenario in which someone has gone home and watches a hockey game, enjoys a few beers, and gets a knock on the door from police, who received a tip about someone in the house who was driving a vehicle suspiciously.

“The person answers the door and they say, ‘Sir, we’ve had a complaint about your driving, we need you to provide a sample,” said Neuberger, noting if the person failed to provide the sample it would likely lead to arrest.

You just know this is going to be used as a club in marital disputes, etc. Heck, they can now haul you out of a restaurant. You may have walked to the place, but how can you prove you weren't driving under the influence two hours before?

Oregon Reporter Jailed On Murder Charge

Not only did she apparently shoot and kill her uncle, the southern Oregon woman recorded it all on her iPhone:

A shocking cellphone video allegedly recorded by Aisling Tucker Moore Reed during her uncle’s slaying will keep her in Jackson County Jail until her trial. Reed, 29, who blogged, wrote books and reported for the Grants Pass Daily Courier under the name Tucker Reed, was ordered held without bail Friday.

Reed and her mother, Kelly Moore, were at the house when Moore arrived.

In the video, Reed is alarmed at the sight of her uncle through French doors. “He’s coming into the house goddammit,” she screams. “Get out!” Less than 10 seconds later, there’s the sound of a gun being fired.

Several minutes later, Kelly Moore tells her daughter that Shane Moore is still alive, but bleeding. “He’s not dead?” Reed asks her mother, then shouts, “F---!”

For some reason, the judge decided that this established a preponderance of evidence sufficient to warrant housing her in the county jail (without bail) pending her upcoming trial for murder, first-degree and second-degree manslaughter.
