The full police report can be found at the link, but below are a couple of excerpts. The incident with the rental car took place on October 28th, 2016 - a period of time that he was serving on the Burisma Board of Directors and getting paid very well for the valuable work he was doing for them. Not many meth-heads can contribute real value to a company's Board of Directors. But I guess Hunter's different.

The accused gunman in the deadly shooting at a San Diego-area synagogue told a 911 operator in the moments after the attack that he did it to save white people from Jews. The recording was played Thursday at a preliminary hearing in San Diego to determine if the case should proceed to trial, the Associated Press reported. One woman was killed and three people were wounded in the April 27 shooting at the Chabad of Poway synagogue. “I’m defending our nation against the Jewish people, who are trying to destroy all white people,” John Earnest told the operator, adding that...

Yesterday the House Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on National Security and Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties held a hearing on “confronting white supremacy.” This is part of the Democrats’ battlespace preparation for the 2020 elections. White supremacy is everywhere! Actually, it is hard to find. I have yet to meet my first white supremacist. But the Democrats have a story and they are sticking to it. Candace Owens was the only witness at the House hearing who was not there to advance the Democrats’ narrative.

An Islamic illegal alien living in Corpus Christi, Texas, admitted to police last week that he murdered his daughter and grandson in cold blood. The 72-year-old man, Mohammad Sahi, is a Pakistani national. Pakistan is a Muslim-majority country and a hotbed for “honor killings.” Such killings are purely ideologically-driven in Islam, and “honor violence” usually has to do with bringing shame upon one’s family. “If a woman or girl is accused or suspected of engaging in behavior that could taint her family’s status, she may face brutal retaliation from her relatives that often results in violent death,” according to...

A call for help may become a punch in the gut. A Federal Communications Commission proposal to replace its 10-digit national suicide prevention hotline number with the three-digit 988 hits too close to home for a Staten Island activist, who noted the numbers 88 are significant in neo-Nazi and white supremacy movements. The letter H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, and to neo-Nazis, the numbers 88 together stand for “Heil Hitler.” “It’s not just a number,” said Charles Greinsky, a 68-year-old Jewish war veteran, who recalls when hatemongers spray painted the digits on his temple in 2008. Greinsky...

The human body is often likened to a high-performance machine. But it is so much more than that. It works 24 hours a day for decades without (for the most part) needing regular servicing or the installation of spare parts. It runs on water and a few organic compounds, is soft and rather lovely, reproduces itself with enthusiasm, makes jokes, feels affection and appreciates a red sunset. How many machines do you know that can do any of that? There is no question about it. You are truly a wonder. And how do we celebrate the glory of our existence?...

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA — Colombia's president is comparing Nicolás Maduro to Serbian war criminal Slobodan Milosevic and says Venezuela's embattled socialist leader would be making a "stupid" mistake were he to attack. Ivan Duque made the comments in an interview Saturday with The Associated Press before traveling to New York. There, Duque is expected to condemn Maduro before the United Nations General Assembly as an abusive autocrat who is not only responsible for the country's humanitarian catastrophe but is also now a threat to regional stability for his alleged harboring of Colombian rebels.

Wait. Isn’t conversion therapy already banned in California? Yes, it is, but it’s still happening anyway. Lawmaker Evan Low of the state’s Legislative Assembly has drafted AB-2943, which aims to add conversion therapy to criminal fraud categories. Low wants to put practitioners of queer conversion therapy in prison, providing a powerful disincentive to people who violate the existing ban.

For the men of ODA 1333 and their detachment of around 100 U.S. soldiers and Afghan commandos, the orders sounded straightforward: help secure two Afghan helicopters downed by the Taliban near Ghazni. They knew they would have to take the long way around, because the Taliban had buried so many land mines along the direct road leading into Ghazni that it was impassable. What was usually a 60-mile trip westward from Paktia province would instead cover 160 miles of terrain. The troops loaded up their weapons and clambered aboard hulking RG-33 and M-ATV armored vehicles, which rumbled into the night...
