Well the dog walker was shot in the process too.
Definitely a federal case!

If there is a ransom attempt, maybe.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@catfish1957

Yes,but the shooting is barely mentioned. Kidnapping GaGa's dogs is the headline.

@Smokin Joe

Truthfully,I didn't even know anybody sang,or that the inauguration was public. I thought he was already being kept concealed in a special box to protect him and nobody was allowed to see or speak to him,even back then.

Just another bullshit attempt by the media to paint all people who disagree with their specific point of view as being the same as their Antifa stormtroopers. They want so badly for nice, polite, civilized people on the Right to be violently, criminally aggressive, like they are, that they just 'make it up' whenever they can. This accusation is pure propaganda nonsense. It is a Leftist fantasy, which of course they had no problem publishing to the worldwide media.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

The problem is, as with any Big Lie, if they say it often enough people will believe it, at least until they realize 'that is ME they are talking about!'.

Some will be cowed by that nonsense, but frankly, like being called a 'racist' because of my skin color, it either wears out and has no effect on me, or it makes people angry that they are being so summarily, callously, and recklessly mischaracterized.

I, for one, am sick of being called and accused names appropriate for what the Left is doing and I am not, while they get lauded for their behaviour.

Nope! I gotta admit,that one slipped by me,even though I was a "hit it and get it" guy from the 70's until,well,tomorrow. I can't remember even giving a female I met casually my real name,never mind tell her where I lived or worked.

I heard today on Fox News that the House Democrats are looking to declare pronouns and any other reference to gender as "illegal" or something to be condemned. This has to do with pleasing the "LBGT community" with is offended by any references to gender. I guess everyone is now an "it" these days or better still "a comrade."

An exclusive private school in New York City sent a memo to parents telling them "mom" and "dad" are unacceptable. Now they are "family members." I guess we are headed toward that village that Hillary Clinton called for years ago in the raising of children.

"Merry Christmas" is also unacceptable, which has been true for a while. Now you must say, "Happy Holidays" or "Have a nice winter break."

Just call them idiots. Idiots might not be bright enough to be offended, although there is always some halfwit in the wings who will be offended for them.

I am the sort to let it all hang out in such a situation. Better to apologize than ask permission... And most of the church ladies I know would titter and give me a pat on the way by for speaking truth... After a suitable apology for losing my patience.

When you think about it, all of this fuss about gender based pronouns might come down to a few questions.

Are the members of the LGBT community ashamed of what they are? Are they offended because because the use of a gender based pronouns makes them feel inferior? I remember when gay people talked about "gay pride." Has that now become unacceptable?

This foolishness is one more example of the "Throw it up on the wall and see if it sticks" school of politics. If it does stick, it represents one more way to control behavior and thoughts and destroy western civilization. That's what these people want, and the time has come to shout and emphatic NO! to them. The time has come for decent people to rise up and oppose the rule of political correctness before it destroys our lives.

Under Biden, I think at least some public school systems will be encouraged to adopt this and kids will have to comply.Colleges certainly.

Of course, there are plenty of states under Republican control, and they could use the power of the budget to stop this nonsense. But as usual, they'll complain a lot and do nothing.

‘Now we close the doggie door at night’; South Carolina woman finds coyote in her kitchen

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – A South Carolina woman recently had a surprise guest in her kitchen.

“One of my dogs came through here, and he started barking and looking all over, like there was a mouse or something,” Sandie Ferguson said as she walked through her kitchen.

Ferguson is a dog-lover. She has two pups of her own and decorates her home with dog-themed art. But the kind of “dog” she got a surprise visit from last weekend was a coyote. She told WSPA he came through a doggie door and pinned himself in the corner of her breakfast room.  ...

When police got there, she said they used dog toys and were able to get the coyote back out the same doggie door he came in. ...

Small breed dogs are like caviar to coyotes. No doubt it thought it had a meal.

Probably wasn't a good idea to coax that critter out.  Coyotes are the 3rd most prevalant carriers of rabies, behind bats and skunks.

@catfish1957

Probably because they eat skunks,bats,and anything else that doesn't eat them first.

I have been told that coyote's are VERY smart animals,but everything has to eat,no matter how smart it is.

Unfortunately for them,they are genetically inclined to wander instead of settle down and be tamed,so that is what they do.

I am at the stage of life where I no longer kill anything that doesn't have to be killed,with the exception of poisonous snakes and rabid animals. I will go after both to keep them from getting away.

Fayetteville man receives last paycheck in oil-covered pennies dumped on his driveway
By Janice Yu
Published 3 days ago

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - A Fayetteville man said his last paycheck from his former employer came in the form of over 90,000 oil- or grease-covered pennies dumped on his driveway.

Andreas Flaten said he left his job at A OK Walker Autoworks in November 2020. He said he was supposed to get his final paycheck, but was having difficulty getting it. ...

In mid-March, Flaten said he finally received the $915 he was owed, but it was not in the form he was expecting.

Flaten said he was leaving his home to go to the store when he noticed the pile of oil-covered pennies. He said on top of the pile was an envelope that said "f--- you" and contained his last paystub.  ...
