Every Red state needs to do this. Even if the FedGov controls the int'l borders, each State can and should control their own.

The FedGov can be checked if each State acts like their own little country and not just on immigration.

Police say an Ohio man accused of murdering an Uber driver wrongly believed she was involved in an ongoing phone scam. WDTN's Grace Hewitt reports.

An 81-year-old Ohio man has been charged in the fatal shooting of an Uber driver he believed was working with a scammer, according to officials who said the victim was sent to the home by the same scammer.

William Brock told investigators he shot Loletha Hall, 61, outside his home March 25 because he thought she was working with a man who called him pretending to be an officer at the local court, Lt. Kristopher Shultz of the Clark County Sheriff's Office said.

"Mr. Brock received some scam call by a person purporting to be someone from our courts who informed him a family member was incarcerated and that he had a bond of a significant amount of money," Shultz said. "The calls turned from 'I'm an officer in the court' to 'We have this subject hostage, this is a ransom demand.'"

The person who called Brock, or an accomplice, requested an Uber ride to his South Charleston home to pick up the money, Shultz said.

"Ms. Hall did not have any idea," he added.


This story disturbs me greatly.  Both the old man and the Uber driver are victims but he should not have shot her when she was trying to get away from him.  That's manslaughter at least, so he's finished.

However, these scam calls are real and terrifying for those who do not know any better.  My elderly mom and dad were recipients of such a call last year from a scammer pretending to be my son, who was begging them for money to get out of jail (he wasn't, and was with me at the time), and insisted that they not contact me.  My mom did, fortunately, but her panic was real, and she was more than ready to fork over a large amount of money to supposedly help her grandson.  I told her to immediately report the call to the county sheriff, which she did.  Naturally, the number was from overseas.

Another elderly friend of mine got taken by the same scam, when someone pretending to be his grandson called him and made the same claim.  A courier actually came by his house to pick up the money but was long gone when he finally wised up and called the police.  He lost several thousand dollars because he was not privy to any of these frauds and scams out there, not being a news junkie like us. 

Now, with this story, somebody has finally been killed.  I hope that they can catch the scammer who sent that Uber driver to her death and that old man to jail.

You're not going to like this post.

My take:
Let's move 15-20 years into the future. From that perspective, an impartial observer is going to look back and reason that the conservative position of "Right to Life" was MORE PROTECTED under Roe, than it is in the Dobbs era ("post-Roe").

How could that be? It wasn't supposed to happen this way, right...?

Wasn't the removal of Roe supposed to "turn back" the abortion issue from an "improperly-decided" Supreme Court decision, and restore it to the states, and thus, "to the people" ???

Wasn't that supposed to be in the best spirit of the [otherwise forgotten] Tenth Amendment ???

Folks, that's EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
The states -- and "the people -- now HAVE "the power" to decide the abortion debate at the state and at the "ballot box level".

Think about this:
The midwestern/western/southern (and mostly "red") states are the ones with the most (cough) "progressive" laws regarding referendum, initiative, and constitutional "amending".

Conversely, the Atlantic/Northeastern (and more likely "blue") states DO NOT HAVE such voter-progressive options. Certainly not in New England.

So... it's going to be in the mostly red states where we see the popular initiatives to liberalize abortion, and such initiatives are going to mostly succeed in them.

Look at Ohio, where the state constitution was amended through a public vote to include liberalized abortion. And that initiative "won bigly".

It's going to happen in Florida and Arizona this November.

The DCommunists have found their winning strategy for the next several election cycles. Even if they put forth an initiative that loses on the first pass, they'll just repeat it and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it until they DO win (the same way they count ballots, eh...?).

If you are anti-abortion, YOU WERE BETTER OFF UNDER ROE.
It's going to take some time for that to sink in.
But eventually, when all "the Dobbs dust clears", you'll look back...
... and wonder, "what the heck happened...?"

(I told you that you weren't going to like this post).

You're probably right, at least in the short term, but it was the right result under the Constitution.

I think the laws in different states will stabilize over time, and it will become less of an issue politically.   It does help us on the Supreme Court, though, by taking abortion off the table.

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — A National Guard soldier reportedly shot a migrant who was seen stabbing another migrant on the U.S.-Mexico border, according to an internal Border Patrol bulletin obtained by NewsNation.

The incident happened on U.S. soil along the edge of the Rio Grande on Sunday afternoon in El Paso’s Lower Valley.

In a statement to Border Report, a Texas Military Department spokesman confirmed that a National Guard servicemember assigned to Operation Lone Star discharged a weapon in a “border-related incident” on Sunday, adding that it is under investigation and that more information will be made available as the investigation progresses.

Indiana Capital Chronicle By: Niki Kelly - April 15, 2024

An Indiana National Guard member was involved in a shooting at the southern border Sunday but details are scant while an investigation continues.

According to a NewsNation report, the soldier saw an individual stabbing a fellow migrant along the river’s edge in El Paso, which is on U.S. soil. The soldier shot at the individual, who ran back into Mexico. It is unclear what they were shot with or whether they were struck.

Indiana National Guard officials deferred specific questions to Texas military officials.

“The Indiana National Guard is aware of the incident that happened Sunday, April 14. We support and care for our soldiers and airmen supporting Operation Lone Star,” the Guard said in a statement.
