    WACO, Texas (KWTX) - A former Waco elementary school teacher was arrested Tuesday on allegations she used an electronic dog whistle to force compliance by a 6-year-old autistic student. Amber Escamilla, 46, a former teacher at Bell’s Hill Elementary School, 2100 Ross Ave., remained jailed Wednesday in lieu of $3,000 bond after her arrest on an injury to a child or disabled person charge, a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. According to arrest records, Waco Independent School District police detectives received a referral from Child Protective Service workers about possible abuse of an autistic student...
  • ATF’s History on Waco is Full of Misinformation and Coverup

    The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives posted a “history” of the botched service of a search warrant on the residence and buildings of the Branch Davidian religious sect on unincorporated property near Waco, Texas, on February 28, 1993. This correspondent closely followed news of the botched raid and siege as current events. The research on this assignment refreshed emotions from three decades ago when the nation reeled under a situation that exposed the Clinton administration’s use of naked force and its disdain for the Constitution and the rule of law. The events of the raid, it’s planning, botched...

    It gives me no joy to write this, but it must be said — the FBI is a broken law enforcement institution and should be dismantled. I believe the same about the CIA, but that’s a topic for another day. Based on the FBI’s conduct over the last eight years, I find no reason to trust anything that FBI officials say with respect to the recent attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. Yes, I think both acts qualify as terrorism, but I have little confidence that we are getting, or will get, the true story. I worked closely with...

    Rick Santorum’s Catholic faith is an obvious centerpiece of his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination, and it is rare for him to speak without referencing his religious beliefs. It is also rare, however, to hear him speak about his particular church, St. Catherine of Siena, which he and his family have belonged to for at least a decade. Even his 2005 manifesto on his personal faith and politics, It Takes a Family, did not mention the church. I was curious to learn more about it, so last Friday morning, I attended a 9 a.m. Mass there. St. Catherine is...

    There’s a very disturbing trend unfolding in Biden’s upside-down America. Political dissidents—Americans who refuse to conform to the regime—are being targeted, harassed, imprisoned, and even killed. It’s increasingly feeling like Joe is channeling his inner Kim Jong-Un. This isn’t the America we know, yet here we are, up against one of the most tyrannical governments to ever seize power. In another horrific nightmare, a Trump supporter has been fatally shot by federal ATF agents during a raid at his home, leaving his family and friends shocked, horrified, and bewildered. ... While we struggle to understand what happened to this man,...

    Flipping a gun for a price higher than one paid now may turn anyone into a dealer, making any such sale unlawful if it does not involve all the licensing and paperwork that govern gun dealers.. On Friday, the 31st anniversary of the massacre of Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, the ATF issued new regulations that make it more difficult to comply with federal laws regulating gun dealing and background checks. Since the 1930s, federal law has required gun dealers to be registered as Federal Firearms Licensees (FFL). The requirements hinged on the meaning of “engaged in the business of”...

They’ll ruby ridge you for saying mean things on the internet about their president. You should definitely watch this:

    New York Times ^ | 6/15/2023 | Mark Binelli
    How 177 arrests led to no convictions — a tangled, seven-year tale of prosecutorial hubris and tenacious defense. Citing pending civil lawsuits, Reyna declined to speak on the record for this article, but he vigorously denied all the charges made in the affidavits secured by Broden, and he disputed The Tribune-Herald’s characterization of his actions. In the end, his primary wasn’t even close: Johnson defeated him by nearly 20 points. Before his term ended, Reyna would dismiss all but 24 of the bikers’ cases, with Johnson dismissing the final two dozen in April 2019. Carrizal was the only biker to...

    The address was off by a single letter.Losing a beloved fury family member can be tough on anyone. It's even worse when that death was caused by a police officer who was sent to the wrong address. That's exactly what happened to a family's dog in Waco on Saturday, June 3. “The Waco Police Department is saddened by the unfortunate shooting resulting in the death of Finn, a beloved pet,” the Waco Police Department wrote in a Facebook post. The incident occurred after a call of a reported break in. While dispatchers correctly entered in the address, it autocorrected to...

    Streamed live 21 hours ago: Donald Trump gave his first rally of the 2024 Republican presidential campaign. “You will be vindicated and proud,” Trump said “The thugs and criminals who are corrupting our justice system will be defeated, discredited and totally disgraced.” The rally event at the airport grounds in Waco began his effort by former President Trump to use the potential to maintain his status as the GOP frontrunner. A grand jury hearing the case is expected to meet again on Monday.Trump said the Manhattan district attorney was investigating him "for something that is not a crime, not a...

    VIDEONotice how the written reports pretending a low crowd size of President Donald Trump's Waco rally never seem to have video or photographic evidence of their erroneous assertion? Well, I finally did discover one brave but foolish Laughing Liberal who dared to show video of that rally. However, it was all too obvious that he actually showed video EARLY in the rally WAY BEFORE Trump showed up. This is not a new FAKE NEWS technique. It has been done before in which liberals show the rally HOURS BEFORE its scheduled start in order to "prove" low attendance. As you can...

    What is a cult? What isn't a cult? Reverend Jim Jones and his Marxist-Leninist People's Temple at the intersection of Jesus and Lenin one example. Jones fancying himself a bit of both seemed to fit the description once the "Kool Aid was passed" and innocent people were gunned down in Guyana back in 1978. In the Conservative Christian subculture I experienced a doctrinal clarity that meant questioning other religious groups from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to the Seventh Day Adventists not to mention Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims. Then there was the Unification Church of Reverend Moon...

    Donald Trump has claimed Manhattan's DA has dropped a criminal probe into a hush money payment to a porn star, a week after claiming he'd be arrested within days. The former president told a small group of reporters aboard his private jet Saturday night that prosecutors would have had no choice but to give up in the face of recent evidence. With an open necked shirt and bottle of Diet Coke by his side, Trump cut a relaxed figure as he traveled back from the first rally of his campaign in Waco, Texas - and grew angry at any suggestion...

    Former President Donald Trump took aim at potential Republican primary foe Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during a recent campaign event, with much of the criticism garnering little enthusiasm from those in attendance.During his Saturday campaign event in Waco, Texas, on Saturday, Trump argued that DeSantis had little chance of becoming Florida's governor without the former president's endorsement, with Trump breaking into an impersonation of DeSantis allegedly begging him for his support in the state's 2018 Republican primary."So, he came, and he really wanted [my endorsement]. I said, ‘You can’t win, can you? How do you – can [you] win?'" Trump...

    Patriot Front is a white supremacist group that may or may not be another proxy for the Deep State. While the group is clearly an actual white supremacist organization, it’s unknown to what degree the Feds have infiltrated them. One thing seems certain: They’re targeting Trump supporters in an effort to discredit them through association. The group makes headlines every time they appear at conservative events, and while they’re generally ridiculed by patriots, their presence is used as another tool for corporate media to disparage the right.
