The Kansas Police Chief who led a raid on a small Kansas newspaper has been suspended from his post. Dave Mayfield, the mayor of Marion, suspended Chief Gideon Cody on Thursday. He did not go into detail or discuss whether or not he is being paid. The searches occurred on August 11th, and has brought Marion into the spotlight regarding freedom of the press and First Amendment rights. The police chief who led a highly criticized raid of a small Kansas newspaper has been suspended, the mayor confirmed to The Associated Press on Saturday. Marion Mayor Dave Mayfield in a text said he suspended Chief Gideon Cody on Thursday.

Comments:

He should be fired with prejudice and without pension. JMHO.

Please watch the video in this article. It shows the brave woman (on a walker!) confronting these goons who are willing to raid her private residence and go through/remove her personal property. It will nauseate you. That woman's life was taken from her because some POS judge gave an order. What in the world is going on in our country??? (Rhetorical question, obviously)

The article never states what the police were looking for or why a judge signed a search warrant.

I would really like to see some details. What was the purpose of the warrant? What were they looking for? Was the paper critical of the police and they were retaliating and trying to intimidate her or hoping to find something to charge her and her son with? Years ago in another life, I worked for our local daily. We had a new publisher who had been exposing some minor corruption in county government. A sheriffs deputy called our city editor and said, “Look, we know you don’t like this new guy. Let us know the next time he goes out to a party or has a few drinks and we’ll fit him up for DUI.” The city editor refused and threatened to publish the conversation. That put a stop to the harassment at least but it shows what can go on in local politics. All Democrats, BTW. Now the Democrats are massively corrupt all the way to the top of the country.

From what I read about the raid the police chief Gideon Cody was hired last spring despite accusations of sexual misconduct while a member of the Kansas City PD. The Marion County Register, of which Eric Meyers is the publisher and the deceased woman’s son, was inundated with calls alerting them to Cody’s past and Meyers began conducting an investigation into those claims. Unrelated but concurrently it published a story about charges that a local restauranteur had committed a liquor license violation. The restauranteur claimed that the Register had committed identity theft which was the reason given for the raid. The entire Marion police force consisting of five officers plus two sheriff’s deputies participated in the raid of the Meyer’s home from which they seized at least one computer. They also seized computers and servers from the newspaper offices.

I think the identity theft accusation was just a pretext by the bar owner and she was having some kind of relationship with the Sheriff who was only too happy to do her bidding. This is small town bs and I’m sure the Sheriff never thought he’d be caught doing his girlfriends dirty work.

These boys are going to be in a world of hurt after all the civil lawsuits and criminal courts. They're going to lose everything in civil court and the inmates won't take too kindly to them raiding an old lady's home, without warrant, that led to her death. They'll be lucky to make it the 30 years they're going to get.

Kindergartners In diapers: A growing trend 27 replies

Apparently, there are an increasing number of kids, with no physical or cognitive disabilities whatsoever, who are entering kindergarten without being potty-trained. This is hard to fathom. In the past, the vast majority of children were fully potty trained around three years old, give or take a couple of months. However, today kindergarten teachers often report to We Are Teachers that 15-20% of their classroom is not potty-trained, and that even a few first-graders are still in Pull-Ups. (Again, this does not include kids with medical issues, or physical or cognitive disabilities.) Sadly, there is a growing trend of children reaching the age of five without being potty trained.

It’s not confirmed, but after Kevin McCarthy allegedly fostered a deal with Democrats over Ukraine aid to pass a stopgap measure to keep the government open, some might pull the trigger on such a plot. It only takes one person to file a motion to vacate, which could hurl the entire House into chaos. The circus would do only one thing: benefit the Democrats ahead of the 2024 elections. There are numerous things Speaker McCarthy has done that have given conservatives heartburn.

Earlier today the US House of Representatives passed a last-minute spending bill to keep the government funded for an additional 45 days, narrowly averting a government shutdown that would have commenced at 12:01 a.m. The bill, spearheaded by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), now heads to the Senate, where it is expected to pass. With a 335-91 vote, the House approved a 45-day temporary funding measure that excludes border security and $6 billion in funding for Ukraine. The bill includes provisions for disaster relief funds that likely swayed some Democrats to vote in favor.

Sheeee's baaaaack! Yes, America's cold sore, Hillary Clinton, is back in the news. She's hoping the newly resurrected Clinton Global Initiative (the fake charity but real influence-peddling operation that temporarily closed its doors while being investigated for engaging in pay-to-play fraud) can make a financial killing off all the real killing going on in Ukraine. CGI is ready to help the widowed, orphaned, and suffering people of Ukraine by collecting large sums of money that will go a long way to supporting the Clintons' lavish lifestyles. What remains of their tax-free charitable "services" can then be distributed among their army of cronies desperate for an easy payday.

Most Americans understandably favor the Ukrainian resistance against Vladimir Putin’s Russian naked 2022 aggression. Yet for Ukraine to break the current deadlock—our generation’s Verdun with perhaps 600,000 combined casualties so far— and “win” the war, it apparently must have the military wherewithal to hit targets inside Russia. Such strategically logical attacks might nevertheless provoke a wounded and unpredictable Russia finally to carry out its boilerplate and ignored existential threats. From the last 75 years of big-power rivalries, the operational “rules” of proxy wars are well known.

In George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984,” he portrays English society – renamed Oceania – as a futuristic version of the 1940s Soviet Union. In this invented society that Orwell calls IngSoc – English Socialism – the populace has even less freedom than the Soviets permitted its citizens and life consists only of drudgery, loneliness and hideousness. The novel grips the reader with fear and loathing of a totalitarian future enabled by technological advances and prompts one with the question: “Can it, will it happen here?” It goes without saying that the United States in 2023 bears little resemblance to 1984 Oceania.

Ukrainian troops are surrendering in droves, Russian TASS news agency claims, to the extent that Moscow has set up a special radio frequency so Ukrainian soldiers wishing to survive the Meat Grinder can do so safely. Approximately 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered to the Russians using the special 149.200 “Volga” radio frequency, which has been operating since mid-summer, TASS reported. “Now more than 10,000 Ukrainian servicemen have already chosen life and used the 149.200 ‘Volga’ frequency to surrender.

On Tuesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed several gun control measures into law, one of which restricts where gun owners can carry their firearms. According to the Los Angeles Times, one of the laws Newsom signed, S.B. 2, came in response to the Supreme Court’s New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn. vs. Bruen ruling last year, which struck down a gun control law in New York. The new law “seriously limits who can obtain a license to carry a concealed firearm” and details more than two dozen “sensitive” locations where guns cannot be carried. This includes child care centers, public transit, museums, zoos, medical facilities, among many others.

In April 2019, Ukraine was brimming with optimism as it elected Volodymyr Zelensky, a candidate who promised peace, an end to government corruption, and economic prosperity. Fast forward four years: a civil war within the Donbas region turned into a European war raging on Ukrainian territory, destroying the country’s infrastructure, killing hundreds of thousands of its citizens, and creating millions of refugees. Government corruption is an all-time high, and the country is in a state of material poverty. When Ukraine gained independence in 1991, its national debt was $0.4 billion; in 2018, before Zelensky was inaugurated, it was $76 billion,

She added, "I always thought that Barack Obama should have sent me a big-ass bouquet of flowers for that interview." Then-White House battle-axe Helen Thomas said Couric "saved the country" with that interview. She justified sticking it to McCain for health reasons, and for his poor judgment in picking Palin.
