A 68-year-old Emmett man pleaded guilty Monday to lighting Emmett police vehicles on fire in 2017.
Darrel Rich pleaded guilty to two criminal counts — damage by fire to vehicles owned by an institution receiving federal funding, and damage by fire to vehicles used in interstate commerce, according to a news release from the Idaho U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Those charges stem from a July 2017 incident in which Emmett police officers responded to Rich’s home. After they left, Rich told his sister through “telephone communications” that police should “‘back off now or somebody is going to get hurt’” and told her that “‘if she call(ed) the cops on me again...we’re done.’”
Just after 12 a.m. the next morning, Rich drove to the Emmett Police Station and parked across the street from it, according to the release. He took a gasoline canister from the trunk of his Chevrolet Impala and poured the liquid behind four police vehicles parked in the department’s parking lot.My wife saw this article this morning: "There are easier ways to get S'Mores." He was apparently also convicted of felon in possession of a firearm. I am so surprised.
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough called the second night of the first 2020 Democratic debates a “disaster for the Democratic Party” and said that he hopes voters were not watching the face-off, which aired on his network.
"With apologies to our friends and watching, last night was a disaster for the Democratic Party," Scarborough said Friday on "Morning Joe." "My only hope is people were not watching and I will tell you why."...
Scarborough also criticized the Democratic candidates for adopting a slate of progressive policy platforms, including decriminalizing border crossings and providing health insurance through a public option to undocumented immigrants, suggesting that they would not be able to beat Trump with that focus.
“It was a bad sign for me, as someone who desperately wants to see Donald Trump taken out of office,” Scarborough said.They need to get out of their billionaire-only fundraising events.

The Lexis/Westlaw database contains 153 cases over the past ten years in which the evidence suggests a silencer was used for a criminal purpose — including unlawful possession of a silencer where no other crime was committed. That gives an average of about 15 reported cases each year, and assuming this represents close to half of all prosecutions, one can assume 30-40 total cases per year. This is out of 75-80,000 federal criminal prosecutions each year. Overall numbers certainly suggest that silencers are a very minor law enforcement problem.
Moving from the overall numbers and looking at more specific offences, it appears that use of silencers in truly violent crime is even more rare.
This was a 2000s HBO series where Ray Bradbury produced episodes based on his stories. Some are excellent. His story "The Veldt" came through exactly as I imagined it when reading it. Like many of Bradbury's stories, there is often an amazingly effective projection of where things are going, and not in a positive way. One story stared Bruce Weitz, who you may remember from Hill Street Blues as a rebel against an over connected world who murders all noisy electronic devices.

On Saturday, a library in the Seattle area hosted a "Teen Pride" event for children ages 9-19. The event featured drag queens, all sorts of explicit adult-themed advice, and a raffle for dangerous transgender chest binders. Three local moms, concerned about children being exposed to such things at a taxpayer-funded library, filmed the event in order to expose it. Police escorted them out by force, warning that they were guilty of "criminal trespass."Does anyone in the LGBT activist elite know any straight people who aren't billionaires? If you want to know what is going to drive LGBT back into a legally imposed closet, it is trash like this, and Drag Queen Story Hour at public libraries.

(x-h)2 = (a-k)2 = r2where r is radius, h,k is center of circle. Solve for z, since x is known. To simplify this I am calculating upward motion, which I will go -z for vertical position.
x2 - 2xh + k2 + z2 - 2zk +k2 = r2
-2xh +h2 + z2 -2zk +k2 = r2 - x2
h2+ z2 - 2zk + h2 = r2 - x2 + 4xh + k2
z2 - 2zx = r2 - x2 + 4xh + k2
z = r2 _x2 + 4xh = k2 + 2kBut plugging in r=4.5, x=0, h=4.5, k=4.5 (the left side of the workpiece) produces an obvious error.

It takes a while for all the optics on a telescope to reach thermal equilibrium. During this time, the image may improve or degrade, but the one guarantee is that the collision will change. Collimate after everything's had cooled off. Typically a half hour for a small reflector. Hour or more for a big reflector of a Schmidt-Cassegrain of any size.
I have observed this before (but some of you may be new to this blog, or worse, do not memorize everything I write here). The biggest disappointment young people experience is when Mom and Dad buy an inexpensive reflector as a first telescope for Junior. There are three reasons for this.
1. The mirror and mechanical parts are often very poorly made. There is not much to do about this, unfortunately. Spend a bit more money on a somewhat smaller refractor and ignore the huge magnification numbers that appear on the box or ad.
2. Few reflectors are properly collimated when you get them. Even if they were good at the factory, every drop of a shipping crate is guaranteed to fix that. Spend a little money on a laser collimator. You will be amazed at how much the image quality improves.
3. Many of the cheap reflectors come with low quality eyepieces, sometimes made of plastic not glass. Orion Telescopes sells lots of decent eyepieces that will dramatically improve the images. Make you sure you are buying a Plossl type or orthoscopic type eyepiece.
TelescopeS typically have either .965" or 1.25" diameter eyepiece focusers. Get one with a 1.25" focuser. The eyepiece in this size are almost always superior in quality.
The budget includes money to give taxpayer-funded health insurance to some low-income illegal immigrants. It also authorizes $2.4 billion in spending to address the state's housing and homelessness crisis....That isn't the craziest part:
The state would give $650 million to local governments to tackle homelessness and pump $500 million into a tax credit program to spur construction of residential rental units.Lawmakers would spend $5 million on grants to homeless shelters so they can accommodate pets.If you do not have a home, you do not need us to care for your pet. Priorities!
This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It’s as middle-of-the-road as your grandpa during his last Silver Alert. It’s as utilitarian as a member of a church whose scripture is based entirely on water bills.
The Japanese owner of the Kokuka Courageous, one of two oil tankers targeted near the Strait of Hormuz, said Friday that sailors on board saw "flying objects" just before it was hit, suggesting the vessel wasn't damaged by mines.
That account contradicts what the U.S. military said as it released a video Friday it said shows Iranian forces removing an unexploded limpet mine from one of the two ships that were hit....
Company president Yutaka Katada said Friday he believes the flying objects seen by the sailors could have been bullets. He denied any possibility of mines or torpedoes because the damage was above the ship's waterline. He called reports of a mine attack "false."Yes, I often see bullets in flight. Don't you? What is Iran's interest in this? Reducing oil supplies drives up petroleum prices: one of Iran's primary sources of foreign exchange. This is contrary to U.S. interests.

Joe Biden told an audience in Ottumwa, Iowa Tuesday that his White House would "cure" cancer should he beat President Trump in 2020.
"I've worked so hard in my career, that I promise you, if I'm elected president you're gonna see single most important thing that changes America, we're gonna cure cancer," Biden said to applause.Didn't a Democrat promise the embryonic stem cells were going to cure actor Christopher Reeve's paralysis and let him rise from his wheelchair sort of like going to a Benny Hin
So when she told her husband, Jason, that she had concerns about two of her co-workers, he knew it was serious. She didn't like to be around DeWayne Craddock, a fellow engineer — he gave off "real bad vibes" and she'd had to write him up several times for issues with performance and attitude. They both worked on the second floor of Building 2 in the Municipal Center.
But on the night of May 30, it was another man she was most worried about. Kate told her husband that the man, whom Jason Nixon declined to identify, was set to be fired Friday and there was supposed to be a police escort on scene when it happened. While cooking dinner, she expressed her concerns.
"She said, 'This guy's going to come back and shoot the place up,' " Jason Nixon said. He encouraged his wife to hide a pistol in her purse and take it to work — she had training and knew how to use it — but she didn't want to break city policy forbidding employees from bringing weapons to work.Kate is dead.
The short version of this story is that the day after the 2016 election victory by Donald Trump, a black male Oberlin College student was stopped for shoplifting wine at Gibson’s Bakery and Market in downtown Oberlin, OH. Gibson’s had been in existence since 1885, was frequented by students, and also provided baked goods to the college dining halls. A scuffle ensued that was joined by two black female Oberlin College students accompanying the male shoplifter and apparently acting in concert with him. All three eventually would plead guilty to shoplifting and aggravated trespassing, and would avow that Gibson’s was not engaged in racial profiling.
But before those guilty pleas, students at the college immediately declared that Gibson’s was guilty of racial profiling, and large protests were organized outside the bakery. Flyers were passed out claiming Gibson’s was “racist” and had “a long account of racial profiling and discrimination.” The Oberlin College Dean of Students Meredith Raimondo allegedly participated in handing out the flyers in front of the bakery. The Oberlin College Student Senate also passed a resolution claiming Gibson’s “has a long history of racial profiling and discriminatory treatment of students and residents alike.” The college administration allegedly helped spread this student senate resolution.
Students started a boycott of the bakery, initially joined in by the college. The college eventually resumed business with the bakery, but then terminated that business after the lawsuit was filed.Result: $11 million in damages. Punitive damages, which might be treble damages, to be decided Monday. Until rich SJWs are held liable for lying, nothing will change.
SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - A Sarasota man is in custody following a manhunt in New York that ended with him naked inside a chicken coop.A co-worker many years ago recounted a night that started with Tequila, then skinny-dipping off the Manhattan Beach pier, then his next memory is waking up in a strange car, stuck in mud some distance from the nearest road.
On Wednesday, June 5, 2019 New York State Police arrested 25-year-old John Mehne after police say a bizarre series of events started when Mehne allegedly burglarized a home in Sarasota and stole a car.
Police say he crashed that car somewhere North of Pennsylvania and caught a ride on the back of a pickup truck, but eventually ran away on foot when multiple law enforcement units joined in on the chase.
Police say tips from the public made all the difference in his arrest. Mehne is charged with robbery, possession of stolen property, burglary and aggravated cruelty to animals.
Washington (AFP) - The United States and Mexico reached an 11th-hour deal late Friday to crack down on migration from Central America, with President Donald Trump relenting on threats to slap potentially devastating tariffs on the neighboring country.
With Trump ready to impose five percent tariffs on all Mexican goods starting Monday, senior officials hammered out an agreement after three days of intense negotiations at the State Department.
Under the deal, Mexico acknowledged and agreed to expand its policy of taking back migrants from violence-riven Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador as the United States processes their asylum claims.
We have, in America, gathered around us teachers who promise us untold wealth; a perfectly healed body every time illness darkens our door; miracles, signs and wonders every time we show up; worship services that provide a "Sunday experience"; and laughter and stories that dominate the preaching, with a touch of Scripture here and there. Not enough Scripture to offend us, but just enough to make us feel like we "did church."
In Idaho, I drive by a certain church quite often. The latest series boasted by it on its marquee is, "Why Church Sucks." I know, I know. They are probably lamenting how church is inadequate in meeting people's needs, and of course, because they have figured it all out, their church doesn't suck.
YouTube hovers in paradox: It’s a platform for expression that vacillates on the kinds of expression it wants to support. Even when the site makes constructive changes in the content it promotes or prohibits, the outcomes raise questions about censorship and curation. On Wednesday YouTube revealed extensive new policies around hate speech in a move to “reduce more hateful and supremacist content from YouTube,” as the company announced in a blog post.
The policy also meant the removal of Leni Riefenstahl’s 1935 Nazi propaganda epic “Triumph of the Will,” which left the site hours after YouTube announced its new standards. After all, “Triumph of the Will” falls under the rubric of “videos that promote or glorify Nazi ideology, which is inherently discriminatory,” as YouTube explains one prohibited category. The movie is also regarded as one with major historical value, raising essential questions about the nature of the film medium. Does it belong in the same category as Lunikoff, a German Neo-Nazi band whose channel also got the boot?Triumph of the Will is an important historical artifact, reminding us that artistic sorts are usually on the side of the thugs. Just like today. And in Ford's Theater in 1865. But it is still on Amazon Prime. Who knew Bezos was a fascist?
Florida woman told police that she stabbed herself in the stomach with a kitchen knife because, “I’m tired of living in Trump’s country, I’m tired of Trump being president.”
Cops found the 46-year-old woman standing outside her residence in Palmetto Sunday, according to a police report. She had blood all over her legs, hands, and face, a cop noted.
When asked what was wrong, the woman lifted her shirt to reveal “three stab wounds on [her] stomach that were still bleeding.” She then told the patrolman she had “stabbed herself because she does not want to live in Trump’s country.”Good news:
After evaluating the woman, a cop concluded that there was a “substantial likelihood” that she “will cause bodily harm to herself and/or others.” As a result, the officer appears to have recommended that the woman be involuntarily admitted to a mental health treatment facility (per the state’s Baker Act).
The report states that the woman said she “has been Baker Acted before and has attempted to hurt herself in the past.”I thought this meant she should join the crowd seeking the Democratic nomination.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted on Thursday to allow phone carriers to block suspicious calls by default in an effort to bolster industry efforts to filter out robocalls and scammers.
The proposal would also let phone companies offer their customers the option of blocking any numbers that are not pre-approved, a service that could help protect elderly consumers from scams and telemarketers.
“We expect phone companies will move quickly to use this tool and help consumers block unwanted robocalls,” FCC Chairman Ajit Pai wrote in USA Today. “Among other things, default call-blocking will reduce the costs of handling the robocalls that flood their networks and save them grief by limiting customer complaints.”Lots of East Indians will be looking for new jobs.
While the President is overseas honoring D-Day, the cable news talking heads back home have been busy critiquing his recently announced plan to impose an increasing series of tariffs on Mexico unless that nation stops the flood of migrants passing through their country toward the United States. The plan has been described in the press with a variety of terms ranging from reckless to impossible. After all, even if Mexico was willing to consider such a deal, how could they possibly stop the human tide from flowing across their own southern border?...
Mexican soldiers, armed police and migration officials blocked hundreds of migrants after they crossed the border from Guatemala in a caravan into southern Mexico on Wednesday, and detained dozens of them, a witness from a migrant aid group and an official said.
The Mexican response in the border town of Metapa, which included dozens of soldiers, marked a toughening of the government’s efforts to curb the flow of mainly Central American migrants, said Salva Cruz, a coordinator with Fray Matias de Cordova.
When every second counted, as students were screaming and dying in their classrooms, school security officer Scot Peterson hid rather than respond. His inaction resulted in his arrest Tuesday on charges of neglecting his duty.
Peterson stood alone in the Broward County Main Jail’s prisoner assembly room for his first court appearance Wednesday morning. He is charged with seven counts of child neglect with great bodily harm, three counts of culpable negligence and exposure to harm, and one count of perjury, records showed.His attorney:
“Today, the individuals who have made this charging decision have taken the easy way out and blamed Mr. Peterson … when there has only ever been one person to blame – Nikolas Cruz.”And that's why millions of law-abiding gun owners must be punished!

The risk was 0.38% (18 of 4761) in children of obese fathers and 0.18% (42 of 22 736) in children of normal-weight fathers, and the adjusted OR was 2.01 (95% CI: 1.13–3.57). No associations were found for pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified.Hence, rising autism rates during the Great Fattening of the last few decades. How does paternal obesity cause autism? I am guessing it is associated with some common cause, but worth investigating.
