I’m surprised the killer forgot to clean up the murder site.

Unless the killer left the items to take the investigation in the wrong direction or discredit Haney.

Absolutely not!

He was writing another book and was engaged to be married.

Suicide is BS straight from the deep state who wants him and all whistle blowers who catch them doing evil dead.

He was also a very dear brother in Christ.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Clinton-Klan had him offed.

“Haney did not kill humself.................”

From the people I have recently spoken with regarding Haney, and from two who knew him very well, Haney was a warrior who loved God, loved life, and loved our country.

Keep Jan Markell and Jack Hibbs in your prayers.

Both are now targets because they knew Phil and these details.

that is why I was getting conflicting stories (either near his vehicle or in his home), when it was first reported on the internet. On the internet, because all major media outlets ignored the story for nearly the entire day, until FOX finally mentioned it, late that night.

Well, there goes the investigation.

My first thought too, but it’s a park & ride, not a “rest stop”.

MA started blocking off the unmanned rest stops in the 1980s/90s, but a judge ruled that the gay hookup stops must remain open.

Never mind that parents with their rugrats were exposed to the goings on of Buttigeig’s predecessors at the time.

Country roads.

If you say so, but the intersection of Highways 16 and 124 certainly don't reflect your claim according to the Google map I posted....

With that being said, I'm not going to argue with you since you obviously have first hand knowledge of the area........

Yes, the junction of two, backwater highways.

Both two-lane country roads.

I think the state refers to them as tertiary highways. And all it means is there’s something at each end.

The “Park and Ride” they refer to is a place where the county leveled and put down about 5,000 sq ft of gravel under some shade trees along the road.

Very little traffic, very low population density. Real working agriculture or gentleman farms. 5 miles to the NEAREST six pack.

The Amador County Sheriff will not allow any BS in this case.

Count on it.


He should watch his back . . .
