Liberal media conflates murderers with migrants in desperate effort to smear Trump



The liberal media helped set the stage for two assassination attempts against President Donald Trump, advancing false narratives and alarmist rhetoric. Various publications have doubled down in recent weeks, characterizing Kamala Harris' opponent as the embodiment of evil but, more specifically, as the second coming of Adolf Hitler.

NBC News, the Washington Post, and other Democratic-boosting publications dutifully did their part Monday, suggesting that Trump outed himself as a racist and a eugenicist — perhaps of the Planned Parenthood variety — in conversation with radio host Hugh Hewitt earlier in the day.

Of course, this latest false narrative relies upon both a willful misinterpretation of Trump's remarks as well as their de-contextualization.

Background

Patrick Lechleitner, deputy director of ICE, noted in a Sept. 25 letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) that as of July 21, 2024, "There were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE's national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency's non-detained docket."

Lechleitner's letter further revealed that over 13,000 illegal aliens were living outside of ICE detention and that another 1,845 illegal aliens had pending homicide cases.

Trump has in recent days cited the figure as further evidence that the Biden-Harris administration's failure to secure the southern border has endangered Americans.

In conversation Monday with Hewitt, Trump criticized Kamala Harris, stressing that she is a "mentally deficient person," who cannot manage to do anything right. Harris' apparent deficit is all the more troubling, suggested Trump, because she seeks to manage virtually every aspect of Americans' lives.

"She wants to go into government housing. She wants to go into government feeding. She wants to feed people. She wants to feed people governmentally. She wants to go into a Communist Party-type of a system," said Trump. "When you look at the things that she proposes, they're so far off. She has no clue."

The Republican added:

How about allowing people to come through an open border — 13,000 of which were murderers. Many of them murdered far more than one person, and they're now happily living in the United States. You know, now, a murderer — I believe this — it's in their genes. And we've got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. They left — they had 425,000 people come into our country that shouldn't be here that are criminals.

Trump made no mention of race when speaking collectively of murderers.

After all, those pouring over the southern border under Harris' watch are racially diverse. Pew Research indicated the illegal alien population from nearly every region around the world grew under the Biden-Harris administration, such that even illegal aliens from Europe and Asia saw increased representation.

In the excerpt, Trump insinuated that murderers' violent disposition may be inherent (i.e., "it's in their genes") and that America suffers as a result of the presence of so many imported murderers.

Liberal press rushes to mislead

In its report of Trump's remarks, NBC News neglected to note that Trump was specifically referring to murderers in the country illegally. The publication also decided to conflate illegal aliens with immigrants more broadly, titling its piece, "Trump suggests immigrants have 'bad genes.'"

There was no mistaking the publication's intent as it made sure not only to parrot a Hitler accusation from the defunct Biden campaign but to suggest Trump was dabbling in "race science."

Rikki Ratliff-Fellman, director of programming at Blaze Media, responded, "THE ACTUAL QUOTE WAS: 'You know, now a murderer, I believe this, it's in their genes. And we've got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.' Per ICE: Over 13K illegal immigrants convicted of murder have been released into US. Where the HELL are your editors?!"

Blaze News senior editor Cortney Weil called out NBC News, writing, "Calling Trump a racist and implying that he's Hitler-adjacent. A completely new and original angle. Will likely impact his chances in November."

Brittany Hughes, managing editor at MRCTV, tweeted, "Trump said *murderers* have bad genes, and that Biden/Harris have allowed thousands of *murderers* into the country. Which is true. Lying @NBCNews is running the old 'murderers and rapists' hoax again."

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told NBC News, "He was clearly talking about MURDERERS — not migrants."

NBC News was not, however, alone in glossing over the intended and obvious meaning of Trump's remarks.

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, a key media exponent of the Russian collusion hoax, appeared keen to outdo the absurdity of other liberal publications with an article titled "Trump finally just says that some immigrants are genetically inferior."

After torpedoing his own thesis by alluding to past Trump references to luck and genetics, which lacked racial connotations, Philip Bump claimed that Trump specifically suggested "non-White immigrants are genetically inferior."

Despite the diversity of the criminals flooding into the country, Bump presumed "racism" on Trump's part, then mounted a defense of illegal aliens stealing into the homeland.

The Washington Post has already walked back its original headline, such that Bump's misleading piece is now titled, "Saying immigrants bring 'bad genes' echoes Trump's history — and the world's."

That didn't stop another Post writer, Jennifer Rubin, from once again signaling her poor grounding in reality, then insinuating Trump should be silenced.

"This is fascism," wrote Rubin, who previously fumbled a hit piece against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. "Giving someone a platform for this is reprehensible."

Politico, a publication that recently beclowned itself trying to help Kamala Harris, suggested that Trump was arguing that "immigrants are predisposed to violence" — missing the fact that Trump explicitly suggested that murderers might share a gene in common.

The Huffington Post's Matt Shuham unsurprisingly joined the game, writing, "The xenophobic claim that immigrants are genetically predisposed to committing violent crimes is shocking and false — but xenophobia is also a cornerstone of Trump’s presidential campaign."

'When is enough enough?' California bill would use taxpayer funds to protect violent illegal aliens from deportation



California Democrats on the state Assembly Judiciary Committee are poised to advance a radical piece of legislation that would use taxpayer funds to help illegal aliens who have been charged or convicted with violent felonies fight deportation.

Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer (D) suggested in a statement last month that the One California Immigration Services Funding program "has failed to match California's commitment to equity, as the program prohibits funds from being used to assist certain individuals who had past interactions with the criminal legal system."

In hopes of making life easier for criminal noncitizens, Jones-Sawyer introduced AB 2031, the so-called "Representation, Equity, and Protections for All Immigrants Act."

The bill notes that existing law permits the State Department of Social Services to direct taxpayer funds to nonprofit outfits via contracts "in order to provide persons with certain immigration-related legal services."

Presently, such grants are aimed at legal services for unaccompanied illegal aliens under the age of 18 who have been transferred to the care and custody of the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement and are present in the state.

Under AB 2031, recipients of such legal services need no longer be current or former California residents. Now, they merely need to have "an intent" to reside in California.

Additionally, the illegal alien-facing services would be expanded to include "legal representation and related services for removal defense."

The most contentious part of the Democratic bill is its proposed removal of the current prohibition on the "use of the grant funds to provide legal services to an individual who has been convicted of, or who is currently appealing a conviction for, a violent or serious felony."

Accordingly, California taxpayers would effectively fund legal efforts to help iIlegal aliens like those who allegedly murdered beloved Georgia nursing student Laken Hope Riley, 2-year-old Jeremy Poou-Caceres of Maryland, and Ruperto Mondragon Salgado of Dallas stay in the country and possibly even eliminate their sentences.

"For as long as I have been in state office, I have worked towards ensuring people are given a second chance and have championed efforts to prevent people from being treated as second-class individuals," said Jones-Sawyer. "The REP for All Immigrants Act ensures racial justice and truly equitable access to crucial immigration services for all – not some."

Assemblyman Bilal Essayli (R) noted on X, "These are the exact policies that led to the murder of a nursing student in Georgia, Laken Riley."

Responding to the bill on X, South African billionaire Elon Musk wrote, "When is enough enough?"

Assemblywoman Kate Sanchez (R) said "AB 2031 is completely UNACCEPTABLE. Why do they want to prioritize immigrant rapists & murderers over everyone else?"

— (@)

Sanchez noted further that the Assembly Judiciary committee would be holding a hearing on the bill Tuesday and asked her followers to "call your legislators to let them know your opinion on it."

Assemblyman Ash Kalra (D) is the chair of the Judiciary Committee. Diane Dixon (R) is its vice chair. The members of the committee are as follows: Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D); Isaac Bryan (D); Damon Connolly (D); Matt Haney (D); Brian Maienschein (D); Tina McKinnor (D); Blanca Pacheco (D); Kate A. Sanchez (R); Eloise Gomez Reyes (D); and Marie Waldron (R).

While critics have noted that Jones-Sawyer's bill will help criminal noncitizens at the expense of American citizens, Shayna Kessler, associate director for advocacy with the New York-based Vera Institute of Justice, appeared to figure that to be the point, suggesting that the "current criminal exclusion exacerbates systemic racism in the criminal legal and immigration systems."

"California must remain a leader in protecting its immigrant communities and pass the California REP4All Act to advance universal legal representation for all people facing deportation, regardless of their interaction with the criminal legal system," added Kessler.

Mashih Fouladi, executive director at the California Immigrant Policy Center, intimated that having citizens bankroll the legal defense of convicted murderers and rapists is a matter of helping vulnerable families.

"The California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC) is proud to support and co-sponsor the REP4All bill that would ensure immigrant families have access to the legal services and resources they need to thrive with safety and stability – regardless of an individual's criminal history," said Fouladi. "Publicly funded immigration services protect the most vulnerable families in our state and improve the quality of life of all Californians."

Teen who helped friend savagely murder teacher over a bad grade sobs, bleeds from the nose ahead of receiving life sentence



An Iowa teen wept and bled just moments before receiving a life sentence Wednesday for helping his classmate murder beloved high school Spanish teacher Nohema Graber in 2021. Jeremy Goodale, 18, and his friend Willard Miller ambushed Graber, beat her to death with a baseball bat, then ditched her remains in Chatauqua Park in Fairfield — all for giving Miller a bad grade and purportedly hurting his chances of taking part in a study abroad program.

While neither teen could agree on who ultimately killed the 66-year-old teacher, both pleaded guilty earlier this year to first-degree murder.

Goodale, 16 at the time of the murder, had his shot at a juvenile court hearing thwarted by Judge Shawn Showers' ruling in May. Instead, he was tried as an adult.

Whereas Miller, whom Showers characterized as a "sinister and evil" force, received a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 35 years — five years more than prosecutors had asked for — Goodale will be eligible for parole in 25 years.

What's the background?

Blaze News previously reported that Graber, a mother of three, was a Spanish teacher at Fairfield High School.

Lauri Noll, Fairfield schools superintendent, said Graber "touched the lives of many students, parents and staff," reported the Des Moines Register.

Graber's family suggested she had been an "angel of a woman" with "one of the kindest souls." In addition to teaching, she worked as a flight attendant and earned a commercial airline pilot's license.

On Nov. 2, Graber met with Miller to discuss his poor performance in her Spanish class. After the meeting, she drove her van to Chatauqua Park off Mediapolis Road for her customary after-school walk. Goodale and Miller ambushed her in the park, dragged her into the woods, then murdered her.

When pleading guilty in April, Miller claimed he had only acted as a lookout while Goodale killed Graber. However, in his conflicting account, Goodale suggested Miller delivered the first blow to the back of the victim's head, then noticing she was still alive, he finished the job.

Goodale said, "I met Willard Miller at Chatauqua Park. I understood he had the intent to kill Mrs. Graber. ... (Miller) had brought a bat among other supplies to go through with the murder, and after he had struck Nohema Graber, we then moved her off of the trail, where I then struck her, and she died as a result. After, we removed any evidence that we could."

The duo was seen by a witness driving out of the park 45 minutes later, Miller at the helm of the victim's van, and Goodale in a Ford pickup truck. After Miller ditched the van at the end of a rural road, he caught a ride back with Goodale.

Around midnight on Nov. 2, a witness spotted a male pushing a wheelbarrow toward the park.

Graber's disfigured body was discovered on Nov. 3, 2021, hidden under a tarp, a wheelbarrow, and railroad ties in Chatauqua Park.

The trial

On the first day of Goodale's trial, prosecutors presented evidence of Snapchat messages wherein Goodale virtually confessed to having killed Graber with Miller. Whereas Miller's motive was his bad grade in Spanish, Goodale was supposedly motivated by a desire to support his friend, reported KTVO-TV.

Video was played in court wherein Goodale told an investigator, "I didn't want to have to touch the bat to begin with, and then she was still alive, and I waited for a moment because I thought I heard her gasp for breath, and I was gonna wait for a moment to see where [Miller] was at to see if he was going to come around. He didn't."

Goodale indicated he had struck Graber with the bat five times, but maintained that Miller had brought the bat in the first place.

Dean Goodale, the murderer's father, and the defense attempted to paint Jeremy Goodale as a troubled soul, indicating the pandemic took its toll and his parents' divorce left him with "abandonment" issues. These issues allegedly resulted in a feeling of co-dependency that prompted Goodale to aid Miller in the murder and haphazard cover-up.

Prior to receiving his life sentence, Goodale apologized to his victim's family, his own family, and the broader community.

"I'm sorry, truly sorry. What I've taken can never be replaced," said the murderer between stifled sobs. "Evey day I wish I could go back and stop myself, prevent this loss and this pain that I've caused everyone."

"And dad, I'm sorry that I let you down in so many ways," added Goodale.

After addressing the court, Goodale's nose began to bleed. Damming back a crimson flood, he then heard the prosecution underscore how his smiling face was the last thing the victim saw before she died.

Judge Showers noted Goodale was less of an evil force than Miller, noting, "Although you were older than Mr. Miller, it's clear to me that you were not more mature than him, and Mr. Miller was far more sinister in his planning," reported the Des Moines Register.

"Unlike your co-defendant, it's clear to me you have regretted your role in Ms. Graber's murder," added Showers.

However, the judge noted that as a smart kid, Goodale had the cognitive wherewithal to stop the scheme from coming to fruition, reported the Associated Press.

Showers nevertheless wished Goodale luck in his rehabilitative efforts.

Some of the victim's family members similarly expressed desire that the teen turn his life around

"I do want you to know I pray you will continue your journey to find God," said Jim Graber, the victim's brother-in-law, "and I pray for your safety and salvation," reported the Washington Post.

Jefferson County Attorney Chauncey Moulding said of the result, "I believe Jeremy committed one of the most heinous acts we've seen in Jefferson County, but that doesn't speak to who he can become with the right treatment and programming."

Court releases corpulent Italian who butchered his girlfriend over breadcrumbs in bed, citing his dietary concerns



A 440-pound Italian man butchered his girlfriend in 2017 over an argument about his slobbish eating habits. Despite receiving a 30-year sentence, Dimitri Fricano, 35, recently waddled out of prison because a court in Turin, Italy, ruled his dietary needs were not being met on the inside. Instead, he will serve out the remainder of his sentence lounging around his parents' house.

Fricano stabbed 25-year-old Erika Preti 57 times while on vacation in Sardinia in June 2017. The victim apparently drew the corpulent killer's ire by complaining about all of the breadcrumbs he had left in their shared hotel bed.

The Italian outlet La Stampa reported that Fricano initially claimed he and his beloved had fallen victim to a raid by hooded robbers. "They wanted the money," said Fricano. "First they beat me, they knocked me down, then they attacked Erika."

As the evidence began stacking up against him, Fricano later admitted to the murder.

The Nuoro magistrate presiding over Fricano's case accepted prosecutor Riccardo Belfiori's request for the maximum sentence of 30 years in 2019. However, owing to delays caused by COVID-19, the murderer was not imprisoned at Le Vallette in Turin until April 2022.

The murderer's delayed prison sentence has now been cut short.

A supervisory court recently decided to let Fricano hang out at home with his parents "because he is obese and a heavy smoker" and needs both a low-calorie diet and assistance the prison cannot provide. It appears having prison staff curtail the murderer's intake of food and consumption of over 100 cigarettes a day was not an option.

L'Unione Sarda, a Sardinian newspaper, reported Fricano complained of being wheelchair bound, restricted in his movements, and unwashed. In addition to these grievances, the Turin Surveillance Court heard that the murderer suffers frequent episodes of "binge eating."

In his first year in prison, Fricano's weight ballooned from 264 pounds to nearly 441 pounds,reported the Telegraph.

Evidently moved by the murderer's self-inflicted misery and convinced of his "great sense of guilt towards the victim ... and towards her family," the surveillance court agreed to send him home, according to the Italian paper Corriere della Sera.

The victim's father, Fabrizio Preti, told Corriere della Sera, "It's a shameful decision. I knew he wouldn't serve 30 years in prison, but six is really too few. You don't wish death on anyone, but this story would only end like this."

"When some friends let me know, after reading it online, that Dimitri had been sent under house arrest, a wound was reopened," said Fabrizio Preti. "It was like being stabbed in the heart."

The victim's father said that his lawyer suggested that "they can no longer treat him in prison and for this reason they decided to send him home to his parents. I had learned that in January he had been transferred to hospital for a few days but then returned to prison. ... [H]e assured me that if he were to recover, he would return to his cell. I don't believe it very much."

The killer will serve his sentence in the Biella area, just over a mile away from the childhood home of his victim.

Fabrizio Preti underscored that while Fricano has admitted to ruining everything, "he never asked for forgiveness and we will never be willing to give it to him."

National transsexual rights activist once boosted by the New York Times found guilty of horrific murders of lesbians and an African teen



Dana Rivers, a national transsexual rights activist whose name was originally David Warfield, was found guilty Thursday of the 2016 murders of three people in Oakland, California. Prior to butchering two real women and their adopted African son, Rivers, 67, had been a former American Federation of Teachers labor leader and a journalism teacher at Center High School in Sacramento.

The murder verdict

Although originally set to begin in 2019, Rivers' murder trial began in October.

Rivers originally entered a not-guilty plea, but later changed it to not guilty by reason of insanity.

The Alameda County jury began deliberating on Nov. 15. The jury didn't need more than a few hours to arrive at their verdict.

The jury found Dana Rivers guilty in the first degree in the Nov. 11, 2016, murders of 57-year-old Patricia Wright, 56-year-old Charlotte Reed, and Wright's 19-year-old adopted son Benny Diambu-Wright (Toto Diambu). All special circumstances, including vulnerable victims and the use of deadly weapons, were found to be true.

Rivers was also found guilty of arson, for setting fire to the home.

The jury was ordered to return to court on Dec. 5 to try the matter of River's insanity claim. This will determine whether the murderer goes to a mental health facility or to prison. The death penalty is also an option.

It is presently unclear whether Rivers, if sentenced to prison, will serve in a men's facility.

The murders

Police found Rivers drenched in his victims' blood outside a home on Dunbar Avenue in Oakland. Inside the residence, Wright and Reed were found stabbed and shot. Diambu had made it outside in his pajamas, but succumbed to his wounds.

Police were dispatched after receiving a 12:21 a.m. call about multiple gunshots.

The Mercury News reported that when officers arrived, they found Diambu-Wright dying in the street. As officers attempted to stabilize him, they heard a loud banging inside the victims' garage — the sounds of Rivers' failed cover-up attempt.

Officer Hector Jimenez indicated that Rivers exited the garage wearing an item of Reed's clothing. After lying about what had occurred, Rivers told police, "There's a fire inside."

Rivers had doused the garage with gasoline and set it on fire, seeking to reduce the murder scene to ash.

Having observed that the transsexual was covered in blood, police searched Rivers' person, finding a bloody screwdriver, a knife, brass knuckles, ammunition, and pepper spray.

Rivers told police, "I know I'm in trouble."

The Berkeley Scanner reported that police then found and extinguished the fire inside the garage.

Inside the house, Oakland police found Reed dead in bed with a bloody revolver and five spent casings nearby. Reed had been shot twice and stabbed 40 times, 28 times in the face, head and neck.

Wright's body was found near Reed's feet with two gunshot wounds and several stab wounds.

The defense attempted to make the case that Reed and Wright had been "engaged in a violent altercation in their bedroom on the night of their deaths."

Police found a Colt 1911 handgun with a suppressor on the main floor and a bloody knife, a large bag of marijuana, and loaded magazines in the saddlebags of a Harley motorcycle — Rivers' would-be getaway vehicle.

According to prosecutors, Rivers had sought revenge against Reed after the victim had left a defunct all-women motorcycle club called the Deviants, which reportedly had ties to the Hells Angels. Rivers had served as an enforcer for the club.

Despite a dispute over Reed's departure from the club, Rivers subsequently attempted to regain the victim's trust.

In Deputy District Attorney Abigail Mulvihill's closing argument on Monday, she noted that Rivers "is so manipulative, so fake, that she convinced Charlotte (Reed) she wasn't a threat any more."

Prior the murders, Reed had brought Rivers home to work on a "mechanical project."

According to the East Bay Times, Mulvihill indicated that Rivers waited for the victims to fall asleep before he struck.

In the resulting carnage, Rivers appeared keen on recovering a necklace in Reed's possession with the biker club's emblem on it.

While prosecutors focused on the motives surround the biker beef, others have been raised.

The Toronto Sun reported that Rivers had been enraged after being rejected by a lesbian, women's-only festival called MichFest that prohibited transsexuals from attending.

The murderer

The murderous activist first received national attention after getting fired by a Sacramento school district.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Rivers had been told by Center Unified School District officials not to discuss the details of his efforts to masquerade as a woman with students. Rivers did so anyway.

When news of these inappropriate conversations got to parents, the parents complained.

In a 3-2 vote, the school board fired Rivers.

In the aftermath of Rivers' firing, "Today" and "Good Morning America" boosted the transsexual and "solidified her modest celebrity."

The New York Times printed a glowing profile of Rivers on Sept. 27, 1999, calling Rivers "an excellent teacher" and comparing the transsexual's experience to "gay teachers who come out of the closet."

Rivers engaged the school district in months of legal battles and ultimately settled for $150,000.

The murderous transsexual said at the time, "I did nothing to warrant the reactive stance taken against me."

LA murderer sentenced to 50 years, but released after serving 6, rearrested for DUI, driving wrong way down freeway: 'The only reason he was out on the streets is because of Gascon's policies'



A Los Angeles County man, sentenced to spend decades in prison for murder and robbery in 2016, was released back in November. On Tuesday evening, he was rearrested on 11 counts, including several felonies, and some are blaming the "soft-on-crime" policies of LA District Attorney George Gascón for putting a violent offender back out on the streets.

Andrew Cachu was 17 years old in 2015 when he shot and killed 41-year-old Louis Amela outside of a burger joint. Cachu and other gang members had targeted Amela and attempted to steal his bike. When Amela resisted, Cachu's associates held Amela down and Cachu shot him in the back.

Though still a juvenile, Cachu was tried as an adult. After he was convicted, he was sentenced to 50 years in prison and was sent to begin his sentence at a juvenile facility.

However, California law changed shortly thereafter, prohibiting juveniles from being tried as adults and permitting those convicted under the old statute to appeal their case. Cachu took advantage of this opportunity last year and in a hearing to determine whether he should be transferred to an adult facility when he turned 25, Deputy District Attorney Alisa Blair — a close associate of Gascón — presented no evidence that he should. Cachu was released last November, having served just six years of his 50-year sentence.

On Tuesday evening, Cachu was rearrested for several felonies related to a motor vehicle incident. Police said that Cachu had fallen asleep at the wheel and was blocking several lanes of traffic. When they roused Cachu from his slumber, he immediately fled the scene and even drove the wrong way on the freeway in attempt to escape police. He then crashed his vehicle, at which point, police were able to apprehend him. Thankfully, no one was injured in the chase or the crash.

"He was obviously under the influence," Lt. L. Arnold said, adding that police found "many drugs" in the vehicle, according to Fox News. They charged him with evading arrest, possession of a firearm — which had been spotted in his waistband while he was still asleep — and several charges related to the possession of controlled substances.

Despite the allegations against Cachu, Gascón defended the decision not to present evidence that might have kept him in custody for the murder of Amela.

"As California law requires, our office reviewed Mr. Cachu's original case, where he had been sentenced as an adult despite committing the crime as a minor," Gascón said in a statement. "Based upon the facts of the case and the individual characteristics of Mr. Cachu we determined that we would not likely prevail in a transfer hearing because we could not prove that he would not have benefited from juvenile resources at the time of the original offense – again, as the law requires."

However, other attorneys have disputed many of these assertions.

"He is badly mistaken, or being misled, or ignorant, I don’t know which of those it is," said Kathy Cady, a California attorney representing Amela's family. "But he's just plain wrong. What he claims is ridiculous. And when you have people who have done very, very dangerous things that have negatively impacted the community, they should not be released after short prison sentences."

"He never should have been out on the streets," she added. "The only reason he was out on the streets is because of Gascón's policies and his handpicked surrogate, Alisa Blair, refused to put up any evidence…at the hearing."

Watch: Teacher goes on racist rant against deputy who pulls her over, repeatedly calling him 'a murderer'



A teacher has been caught on video delivering a racist tirade against a Latino sheriff's deputy in Los Angeles, wherein she repeatedly calls him "a murderer" and taunts, "You're always gonna be a Mexican, you'll never be white, you know that?"

What are the details?

The video was obtained by KTTV-TV's Bill Melugin, who was sent the footage from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department deputy involved.

In the clip, the deputy can be seen approaching the woman's vehicle as she asked why she is "being harassed" since she was driving under the speed limit.

"Yes you are, ma'am, good morning," he replies.

The woman can be seen holding her phone up showing that she was recording the deputy, when he says, "I pulled you over because..." and she cuts him off, replying, "Because you're a murderer."

The deputy explains that he pulled her over because she was using her cellphone while driving, and she tells him she had been recording him, reiterating, "because you are a murderer."

When asked to present her driver's license, the woman discloses that she does not have it with her. The deputy allowed her to present a picture of her driver's license, and while she scrolled looking for it, she asked for him to call his supervisor. The officer informed her that the supervisor was already on his way.

"Good, because you're a murderer," she replied.

The woman says in the footage that she is a teacher. Melugin reported that "she has been a professor at schools in the LA area."

Another deputy arrives on the scene, and tells the woman she is receiving a ticket for using her cellphone while driving. She tells him the deputy who issued the ticket was "a Mexican racist," and then tells the deputy who pulled her over, "You're always gonna be a Mexican, you'll never be white, you know that, right? You'll never be white, which is what you really want to be."

NEW: "You're always gonna be a Mexican, you'll never be white, you know that?"A Latino LASD deputy sent me his bod… https://t.co/WWQQGRaVRX

— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) 1620080865.0

What else?

The LASD told Melugin the woman called the LASD after the incident to file a harassment complaint against the deputy. The department noted that "she has a history of making false complaints against deputies."

The reporter also noted that the San Dimas station — where the officer is based out of — does not require body cameras, but the deputy "invested in his own personal cam to protect himself on the job."

Rep. Ilhan Omar compares impeaching Trump to holding a 'murderer' accountable



Progressive Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) recently argued that efforts to impeach President Donald Trump are similar to the need to "hold a murderer" accountable for their crimes.

Omar made the comments during an interview with MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson on Tuesday, during which the congresswoman defended Democratic efforts to impeach the president, accusing him of rousing a mob of his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol last week.

"I know that some have likened the reaction that we are getting, obviously, from the president and some of, you know, Democrats and some Republicans in Congress, to someone saying, you know, if we were to hold a murderer or someone who has committed violence accountable, there will be more. And to me, it is really the — having consequences for actions that act as a deterrent," Omar said.

"We know that some have said he's learned his lesson, some have also used childlike analogies to talk about he has put his hand on a stove and he is now burned and he won't do it again, but this is not just about him. This is about fulfilling our oath of office. And if we do not take that serious [sic], I don't know how we can continue to be members of Congress and say that we are to protect our country from domestic enemies," she added.

Ilhan Omar: The Need to Impeach Trump Is Just Like the Need to 'Hold a Murderer' Accountable youtu.be

Omar had previously argued that Republicans had "blood on their hands" as a result of the riot.

The shocking incident, which resulted in the deaths of five people and injuries to many more, took place last Wednesday after the president delivered an impassioned speech to hundreds of thousands of supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., asking them to "peacefully and patriotically" protest the results of the election.

Tragically, hundreds of the supporters opted to make their voices heard through violence by fighting with police, breaching security perimeters, and invading the Capitol where Congress had convened to certify President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory.

In his first public comments since last week, the president characterized the latest impeachment effort as a "continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics" and argued that continuing on with impeachment would only cause "tremendous anger."

He also defended his speech before the violence, saying it was "totally appropriate."

"If you read my speech — and many people have done it, and I've seen it both in the papers and in the media, on television — it has been analyzed, and people thought that what I said was totally appropriate," he said. "They've analyzed my speech and my words and my final paragraph, my final sentence, and everybody to a T thought it was totally appropriate."

Man dubbed the 'most prolific serial killer in the history of the US' by the FBI dies in prison



Samuel Little, the man dubbed by the FBI as the "most prolific serial killer in the history of the United States" has died in prison at the age of 80.

The The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a statement on Wednesday that Little had died but that the cause of death had not yet been determined.

Little confessed to 93 murders committed in a 35 year span between 1970 and 2005. He was in prison for the murders of three women when a Texas Ranger interviewing him was able to get him to speak about scores of other murders he says he committed.

Little said that he targeted drug addicts and prostitutes because few people would be searching for them when they disappeared. Some bodies of his victims have never been found.

"They was broke and homeless and they walked right into my spider web," Little said of his victims in 2019.

"I don't think there was another person that did what I liked to do," he explained. "I think I'm the only one in the world. That's not an honor. That's a curse."

Little was able to remember exact details about the murders and his victims. He even drew sketches of many of the murder victims in order to prove that he had killed them.

Ranger James Holland says that Little's confessions helped solve 50 cold cases. His murder spree spanned across 19 states from California to Florida. Officials were still trying to verify other cases of murder to which he confessed.

"For many years, Samuel Little believed he would not be caught because he thought no one was accounting for his victims," said Christie Palazzolo, a Crime Analyst for the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program.
