Houston police will end no-knock warrants after deadly drug raid, chief says. That lying cop should go away too. For a long time.
“The no-knock warrants are going to go away like leaded gasoline in this city,” Police Chief Art Acevedo said after a raid in which two suspects were killed and several officers injured.
Newsom claims ‘retribution’ after Trump administration demands high-speed rail funds back. It appears the Trump Train just ran over the Gavin Newsom train.
Houston Cop Lied for Warrant, Married Couple Killed, 4 Police Wounded. Sounds more like an assassination than a drug bust.
The lead investigator and long term Houston Police Department undercover narcotics Officer Gerald Goines lied to obtain a no-knock warrant. The no-knock warrant lead to the death of a middle-aged couple, their dog, and the wounding of four officers, at 7815 Harding Street on 28 January 2019.

Sources: Jussie Smollett paid brothers to fake attack. In the continuing on and off saga of Jussie allegedly being beat by two white guys in Maga hats who put a rope around his neck, it appears the walls are closing in.
Rosenstein to Leave Justice Department Next Friday, Sources Say. Yes we know it’s another “sources” deal but if true it’s about time. McCabe may have ratted some good stuff. We’ll see this Sunday.
Following the Senate confirmation of William P. Barr to be Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is planning to exit the Department of Justice next Friday, according to three DOJ officials who are familiar with his plans and ongoing conversations inside the department.
Rosenstein, 54, initially planned to stay at the Department of Justice for several weeks to ensure a smooth transition for his successor,
Jeffrey Rosen, however, he is quietly working to exit the DOJ next Friday after a scathing interview was given to “60 Minutes” by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Mr. McCabe, in an interview scheduled to air on Sunday, said that Mr. Rosenstein considered invoking the 25th amendment to oust President Trump in addition to possibly recording the commander-in-chief, directly contradicting a forceful denial issued months earlier by Rosenstein.
Note: At this point this is all still alleged. Right after we put it up Chicago PD said they were still investigating so we pulled it. We decided to put it back up with the caveat that at this point no one appears to know what’s going in with this including Rob Elgas.
BREAKING: Multiple soucres tell @ABC7Chicago Eyewitness News Jussie Smollet and the 2 men who are being questioned by police staged the attack – allegedly because his character was being written out of the show Empire.

Sources: Jussie Smollett staged attack with help of others, allegedly being written off ‘Empire.’ So much for two white dudes in red MAGA hats walking around Chicago on a -25 degree night carrying a rope.
UPDATE: We wish this guy would make his mind up.
NEW: Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson called @ABC7Chicago tonight to say Jussie Smollett is considered a victim and the police investigation is on-going.

Willam Barr confirmed as attorney general. Now we can see what happens. We hope his alleged anti-gun tendencies don’t help FUBAR the 2nd Amendment.
Andrew Cuomo Pleads For A Federal Handout And President Trump Tells Him To Frack Right Off. Governor Fredo seems to be finding out what it’s like to be a moron lately.
Texas Town’s Environmental Narcissism. Go full green and win stupid prizes. We can’t wait for the New Green Deal.
Political leaders in a college town in central Texas won wide praise from former Vice President Al Gore and the larger Green Movement when they decided to go “100 percent renewable” seven years ago. Now, however, they are on the defensive over electricity costs that have their residents paying more than $1,000 per household in higher electricity charges over the last four years.
That’s right – $1,219 per household in higher electricity costs for the 71,000 residents of Georgetown, Texas, all thanks to the decision of its Republican mayor, Dale Ross, to launch a bold plan to shift the city’s municipal utility to 100 percent renewable power in 2012 when he was on the city council.
Amazon Drops Bid For New York. Governor Fredo has been whining about the NY wealthy moving to Florida and dropping his tax money. Were we Amazon we’d move to Florida and tell Governor Fredo to shove it.
New York lawmakers, including progressive superstar Rep. Alexandria Ocaiso-Cortez (D), for months have been drumming up resistance to Amazon’s decision to bring half of its second headquarters to Queens.
U of Chicago Students Outraged As Cops Apprehend Armed Robbery Suspects on Campus. This university is ranked #3 nationally, go figure.
9th Circuit sides with Trump on environmental waivers for border wall. Yes, THAT 9th Circuit.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled for the Trump administration Monday in a case challenging its use of waivers to bypass environmental regulations in constructing parts of the border wall.
The state of California and several environmental groups sued President Donald Trump and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in September 2017 to stop construction of a border wall prototype and ongoing repairs to 14 miles of an existing barrier in San Diego.
Court Denies Injunction in EPIC Census Privacy Suit. This is indeed ‘epic.’ As of now they can basically ask if you’re illegal. This could reduce the number of seats the Democrats have in the House and the number of Electoral College votes, not to mention reducing Federal funds states like California blow on illegal aliens. No doubt this will go to a higher court. Oh, by the way elections have consequences, this judge is a Trump appointee.
A federal court has denied EPIC’s motion for a preliminary injunction and refused to block the Census Bureau from collecting citizenship information via the 2020 Census.
Rodents run riot! Rats and fleas carrying deadly typhus infection are plaguing LA City Hall. What happens when the Democrats are in charge? We go back to the 1300’s. That’s progressive.

Watch your ass.
Whoa! Jacky Rosen angrily warns Kyrsten Sinema "Watch your ass" when she was the only Democrat applauding Trump.

Gov. Ralph Northam’s statement on yearbook photo. Based upon the new rules the Democrats have he should immediately resign.
“Earlier today, a website published a photograph of me from my 1984 medical school yearbook in a costume that is clearly racist and offensive.
“I am deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now.
“This behavior is not in keeping with who I am today and the values I have fought for throughout my career in the military, in medicine, and in public service. But I want to be clear, I understand how this decision shakes Virginians’ faith in that commitment.
“I recognize that it will take time and serious effort to heal the damage this conduct has caused. I am ready to do that important work. The first step is to offer my sincerest apology and to state my absolute commitment to living up to the expectations Virginians set for me when they elected me to be their Governor.”
