Abortion clinic caught covering up sexual abuse of young girl

Abortion Free New Mexico recently spotlighted some fresh undercover footage from the investigative sharpies over at the New Mexico Sentinel. The hidden-camera gem was shot on November 26, 2025, at the Valley Abortion Group in Albuquerque, better known by its charming acronym, the VAG clinic.

VAG likes to pat itself on the back for providing abortion with “survivor-centered care,” which sounds lovely until you watch the Sentinel video where clinic staff casually chat with some random guy about how simple it would be to haul a pregnant 14-year-old from Texas up to their New Mexico shop for the procedure.

The man claimed the girl was his “niece,” but the staff didn't so much as raise an eyebrow, pause, or bother to wonder if this dude was really an uncle or just a garden-variety sexual predator trying to tidy up his own mess.

“The minute this man came in asking how to get an abortion for a 14-year-old minor, any legitimate healthcare staff would have recognized a possible red flag,” says Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “But these abortion workers not only explained how to circumvent Texas abortion laws, including parental consent, they also readily explained how to get all the costs covered, including the cost of the abortion, travel, and hotel. This dump is a human trafficker’s dream come true.”

VAG staff also cheerfully informed the guy, “We go up to 34 weeks… so technically there is almost no deadline.”

Operation Rescue’s 2025 Annual Survey, which combs through data from every abortion clinic in the country, couldn't pin down any real cut-off date from VAG either.

“This undercover video only confirms what our investigators already knew,” says Newman. “This new clinic is willing to abort through all nine months of pregnancy, and for any reason. No baby in utero is safe at any gestational age from these killers. And certainly no women are safe, as their staff already show no concern about reporting possible sexual abuse or human trafficking. It’s clearly a no questions asked operation.”

‘No questions asked’ has been the go-to motto for abortion in New Mexico for ages, and it's as dangerous as it sounds in one of the ten states with zero gestational limits.

Operation Rescue just reported on the passing of late-term abortionist Susan Robinson, who used to crow about how wonderfully lax New Mexico's abortion laws were, letting her kill babies deep into the third trimester. In a 2013 interview, she bragged, “So there is nothing legal to stop me from doing any abortion that I think is appropriate.”

Tara Shaver from Abortion Free New Mexico weighed in, “New Mexico’s lack of oversight has created a system where abortion businesses can openly market to patients from other states, including vulnerable minors, while operating with minimal regulatory scrutiny . . . New Mexico is rapidly becoming the epicenter of a cross-state abortion industry, yet state leaders continue to refuse meaningful oversight or transparency.”

The VAG Clinic, which swung its doors open in December 2024, obviously gets that New Mexico is happy to green-light any abortion at all, even one involving a potentially coerced or abused 14-year-old girl based solely on the say-so of her so-called “uncle.”

Newman added, “I guess ‘survivor-centered care’ is right. Any woman would be lucky to survive this so-called clinic, especially if her pimp or abuser came around beforehand to make sure no staff member was going to ask any tough questions. New Mexico officials should be investigating this dump, not protecting it. It took one guy with a hidden camera to show the real face of this facility. Imagine what an official investigation might uncover.”

Look, the whole thing is a grim circus of evasion, euphemism, and zero accountability, wrapped in a bow of self-congratulatory "care" rhetoric that wouldn't fool anyone paying attention. New Mexico's abortion free-for-all is less about women's health and more about keeping the questions at bay while the cash rolls in. If that's "survivor-centered," count me out of the survivor club.

Missing retired US Air Force general now in 3rd week and new clues being investigated

Claudia Cowan of Fox News, is out with the latest on the mysterious disappearance of retired Air Force Major General William McCasland in New Mexico. Authorities are asking for the public's help to locate the 68-year-old, who was last seen on February 27.

Authorities searching for missing retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William "Neil" McCasland are investigating a new development after hiking boots believed to belong to the missing general were discovered at his vacation home, officials said Monday.

Investigators said they are still working to determine whether the boots are connected to McCasland’s disappearance, which has now stretched into a third week.

During a Monday news conference, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office said there have still been no confirmed sightings of the 68-year-old aerospace engineer, and the Silver Alert issued for him remains in effect.

McCasland was last seen leaving his A;buqueerque, New Mexico, home on foot around 11 a.m. on Feb. 27, authorities said.

Investigators noted he left behind his phone, glasses and wearable devices at the house. However, several personal items remain missing, including his wallet, a revolver and a holster for the gun. Investigators also said Monday that a red backpack is unaccounted for.

Earlier that morning, McCasland was seen speaking with a repairman at his home around 9 to 10 a.m., according to authorities.

The repairman described McCasland as being in a "mental fog," but investigators said there was no indication he was disoriented or confused, describing him instead as a "highly intelligent, highly capable" person.

"Out of an abundance of caution, we escalated the search to a Silver Alert with that information that was given to us early on," a Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office official said.

Authorities say McCasland vanished within roughly a one-hour window while his wife was out of the house for an appointment.

Search teams have also recovered a U.S. Air Force sweatshirt more than a mile from McCasland’s home, though investigators have not confirmed whether the item belonged to him. McCasland is described as 5 feet, 11 inches tall with white hair and blue eyes and was last seen wearing a light green, button-up outdoor shirt with two chest pockets.Officials believe he left his home on foot.

The retired general is known to be an avid outdoorsman who frequently hikes, runs and cycles in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights and the nearby Sandia Foothills, where search crews have focused some of their efforts.

Disgraced ex-judge and wife arrested for allegedly harboring Tren de Aragua thug

Federal agents stormed the Las Cruces home of former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy, Thursday, slapping cuffs on the pair for evidence tampering. 

The charge? Harboring Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, an alleged illegal alien and suspected member of Venezuela’s brutal Tren de Aragua gang.

“Under President Trump, we have arrested over 150,000 aliens—including more than 600 members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem declared. “If you are here illegally and break the law, we will hunt you down, arrest you and lock you up. That’s a promise.”

The arrest ties back to February when Ortega-Lopez was nabbed at the Cano residence. Court documents show the details: Nancy Cano hired him for home repairs, then let him crash in their guesthouse. Cozy setup—until feds linked him to Tren de Aragua through gang gear, tattoos, voicemails, and texts.

Ortega-Lopez slipped into the U.S. on Dec. 15, 2023, crossing near Eagle Pass, Texas, without papers. Border Patrol, were swamped and had to cut him loose three days later with a Notice to Appear for removal proceedings. Big mistake.

Feds later raided the home of the Canos’ daughter, April, seizing four firearms. 

Social media posts show Ortega-Lopez flexing with weapons, some allegedly April’s. He’s now staring down federal charges for illegal possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5). Conviction could lock him up for 15 years but the chances of him serving the full dime and a nickel are slim.

“Doña Ana County has been a hotbed of illegal immigration and drug trafficking, human smuggling for many, many years,” former ICE Field Office Director John Fabbricatore told WPMI. “To see that a judge would allow this to happen. It’s very concerning. It’s concerning. What else has the judge been doing?”
Cano quit his bench in March, and on Tuesday, the New Mexico Supreme Court dropped the hammer, banning him from ever holding judicial office again. Good riddance.

“The people of New Mexico are tired of a system where the powerful don’t play by their own rules,” Amy Barela, Chairwoman of the Republican Party of New Mexico, told the Las Cruces Sun-News. “We demand real accountability for Judge Cano’s connection to a gang-affiliated criminal and full transparency on how our judiciary is being held to the same laws as the rest of us. Enough is enough.”

Homeland Security Investigations is still digging, per KFOX. This mess is far from over.

New Mexico Tesla arsonist charged

Here we go folks, we’re diving into another stinking steaming pile of hypocrisy that’d make even the most seasoned cynic blush. Another week, another politically charged nutcase lighting fires, both literal and figurative, while the self-appointed guardians of “democracy” and “tolerance” clutch their pearls and pretend it’s just Tuesday.

Meet Jamison Wagner, a 40-year-old Albuquerque genius who thought the best way to stick it to the man was to channel his inner anarchist and firebomb a Tesla dealership and the local Republican Party headquarters. Yeah, you heard that right—this guy’s out here playing Molotov cocktail roulette with actual businesses and political offices, spray-painting swastikas and “Die Elon” like he’s auditioning for a low-budget dystopian flick. 

Now, let’s play a quick game of imagination. Picture this guy waltzing into a Planned Parenthood or a Democrat campaign office with a lighter and a bad attitude. The headlines would be screaming “domestic terrorism” before the smoke cleared. CNN would have a 24/7 chyron about the “right-wing extremist threat.” AOC would be live-tweeting her trauma while making empanadas in her kitchen as she dances to the sounds of a mariachi band.

But because it’s a Tesla lot and a GOP office—and, oh yeah, Elon Musk is now the left’s favorite punching bag for daring to breathe near Trump—it’s crickets from the legacy media. Shocker.

The details? They’re as ugly as you’d expect. 

Wagner didn’t just tag a few walls and call it a day. This wasn’t some angsty kid with a Sharpie. He left swastikas, scrawled “ICE = KKK” (because apparently border patrol is now the Klan), and set fires that torched vehicles and property at the Tesla dealership. Then, like a pyromaniac with a planner, he hit the GOP headquarters weeks later with homemade firebombs—glass jars, polystyrene, the works. This wasn’t a hissy fit; it was a calculated middle finger with a side of napalm. Napalm. Let that sink in.

And the kicker? This guy’s twisted logic—equating immigration enforcement with white supremacy—is what happens when you marinate in an echo chamber that paints half the country as Satan’s spawn. It starts with “fascist!” and “Nazi!” screamed at Thanksgiving dinner and ends with Molotovs on the doorstep. That’s not “protest.” That’s terrorism, and no amount of “but my feelings” excuses it.

Props to the feds, though. The FBI and ATF weren’t messing around—they found Wagner’s little arson starter kit, complete with matching jars, spray paint, and the exact napalm recipe he used to try burning down the American dream. This wasn’t a guy throwing a tantrum; he was mixing up war crimes in his garage to flex for whatever Antifa group chat egged him on.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi put it best: this crap’s gotta stop. You don’t get to torch your political enemies and call it “activism.” Break the law, kiss your freedom goodbye—whether you’re lobbing firebombs at a GOP office or chaining yourself to a Starbucks counter over a pronoun.

But here’s the part that chaps my hide: the silence. Where’s the Democrat outrage? Where’s the media’s wall-to-wall coverage? When a lunatic sets fire to conservative institutions, it’s like it never happened. No primetime specials, no sanctimonious op-eds, no celebrity PSAs. Just a big ol’ shrug from the “save democracy” crowd.

So, to the left: if you’re serious about this whole “democracy” thing, maybe start by calling out the guy literally setting it ablaze. Until then, keep your lectures or put them where only mushrooms grow. 

While Republicans are out shaking hands and kissing babies, your radicals are playing arsonist. And that’s a fact even the most shameless spin doctor can’t burn away.

FBI arrests Democrat for firebombing N Mexico Tesla showroom and GOP headquarters

A 40-year-old New Mexico [for any college students reading this, New Mexico is a U.S. state; not a place in Mexico] man has been charged over arson attacks that targeted the headquarters of the Republican Party and a Tesla showroom in Albuquerque, the Justice Department announced.

The feds nabbed 40-year-old Jamison Wagner, a guy they say went full pyro on two Teslas and the GOP headquarters in Albuquerque. The DOJ dropped the hammer Monday, announcing Wagner’s arrest by the FBI for the fiery attacks that left a trail of scorched metal and shattered windows. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s not messing around—she’s gunning for 40 years behind bars if Wagner’s convicted.

Wagner’s staring down two counts of torching property with fire or explosives. No slaps on the wrist here.

“Let this be the final lesson to those taking part in this ongoing wave of political violence,” Bondi said, her words sharp as barbed wire. “We will arrest you, we will prosecute you, and we will not negotiate. Crimes have consequences.”

The DOJ pieced it together like a grim puzzle—evidence at the scenes and surveillance footage pointed straight to Wagner, and avid Trump/GOP hater.

First up was February 9. Two Teslas parked outside the Albuquerque Tesla Showroom got hit with a homemade firebomb. One had a glass container stuffed with napalm material inside. The showroom and nearby cars got tagged with spray paint—swastikas, “Die Elon,” “Tesla Nazi Inc,” and “Die Tesla Nazi” scrawled like a manifesto gone wrong.

Leftists are such lovely people, right?

Then, on March 30, the New Mexico GOP headquarters took a hit. Firebombed. Major damage. “ICE = KKK” was sprayed across the building, a calling card of chaos.

Investigators connected the dots fast. Wagner’s Hyundai Accent was spotted peeling out after the GOP bombing. His mug matched the suspect in the surveillance tapes. When the FBI kicked in his door, they hit the jackpot: materials for firebombs, spray paint matching both crime scenes, an “ICE=KKK” stencil, and eight suspected incendiary devices ready to roll.

Boom badahbing!

“This arrest is part of the FBI’s aggressive efforts to investigate and hold accountable those who have targeted Tesla facilities in various states across the country,” FBI Director Kash Patel said, doubling down.

“Under Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, we will continue to locate and arrest those responsible for these acts of domestic terrorism, and the FBI will work with partners at the Department of Justice to ensure such lawbreakers face justice.”

Venezuela flies out nearly 200 deportees to their country

Nearly 200 illegal aliens from Venezuela were flown back to their country in two planes sent here to do the job, in accordance with President Trump's mass deportation promise.

This deportation of 190 illegal aliens may be a sign of tensions being relaxed between the US and Venezuela and it's certainly a win for Trump's administration as they begin to fulfill the promise they made to have countries take back their citizens who were in the U.S. illegally.

The Conviasa airline flights arrived in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas from Fort Bliss, a U.S. Army base in El Paso, Texas.

"Two planes of illegal immigrants left El Paso today headed to Venezuela - paid for by the Venezuelans," Trump envoy Ric Grennell, who oversaw the deportations, wrote on X.

Under the PINO Joe Biden's administration, deportation flights from the U.S. to Venezuela were halted for years, except for a brief time in October 2023.

In 2021, many Venezuelans started showing up at the U.S. southern border, and they've been among the top groups trying to enter the country without permission. Venezuela didn’t want to take them back, which caused a big problem.

However, after Ric Grenell visited Caracas a few weeks ago, Venezuela agreed to accept their returning citizens. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro commented, "This is the world we want, a world of peace, understanding, dialogue, and cooperation."

On Monday, Venezuela confirmed flights for deportees back home but criticized the U.S. for spreading what they called "ill-intentioned" and "false" stories about Venezuelan migrants, particularly about members of the Tren de Aragua gang. They emphasized that most Venezuelan migrants are honest, hardworking people.

These deportations happened shortly after some undocumented immigrants were sent to Guantanamo Detention Center in Cuba, where they are kept separate from other detainees, including those involved in the 9/11 attacks.

"Adiós para siempre."

A judge in New Mexico issued a temporary block on the Trump administration's plan to send three Venezuelan men to Guantánamo Bay. Their lawyers argued that these men were targeted because they fit the profile of those the administration wanted to detain there, accusing them wrongly of gang connections.

The deportations also followed agreements by Secretary of State Marco Rubio with El Salvador and Guatemala, where these countries agreed to accept their citizens and other deportees from the U.S.

After Grennell's visit, Trump announced that Venezuela had agreed to take back all their undocumented citizens in the U.S., including alleged gang members, and even cover the cost for their flights back. At the same time, six Americans were released from Venezuela.

Biden's handler[s] considering banning mining in New Mexico

Photo: Mining Magazine

President Biden's handler[s] already banned uranium mining in Arizona because that would mean we'd be uranium independent and wouldn't have to depend on Russia for 12% of this valuable commodity, as we did last year.

But now the mystery person behind the curtain, that is, whoever is pulling Biden's strings, wants the Department of the Interior to ban mining and oil-drilling in New Mexico for 50 years, a mere 18,262 days. By doing so, the DOI plans to federalize 4,000 acres of "sacred Tribal lands" and promote "scenic integrity, cultural importance, recreational values, and wildlife habitat connectivity." 

Whoever it is who pulls his strings is supposedly "protecting" New Mexico's vast copper, silver, and lead deposits, as well as some of New Mexico's largest gravel mines. This will perpetuate our reliance on China and other foreign nations for these resources we already possess. 

Brilliant.

This will impact our energy security and independence from these countries and put us in a position where they can cut us off at any time. China would love to do that if they're planning something untoward. It will also encourage other countries to exploit their people to produce more of these limited materials, particularly those needed in electric vehicle supply chains.

The Biden administration is doing everything it can to hand over our self-reliance to foreign powers and make domestic mining more difficult. It's hard to understand the motivation for this, but whatever it is, it isn't good for the country and puts us in a precarious position and makes us unsafe for would-be aggressors.

As Barack Obama is alleged to have famously said, "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up." Snopes claims this statement is unproven, but what does it matter if it still it rings true.

NM Gov. gets her comeuppance on gun-ban move

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-of course) seems to believe that she has the authority to ban law abiding citizens from being allowed to carry guns in Albuquerque and the surrounding county for the next 30 days or more.

The far-left governor signed an executive order Thursday stating that gun violence is a public health emergency, implying that her definition of health is twisted. While health is the state of being free from illness or injury, the gun "health emergency" is more of a societal problem which the left refuses to address.

On Friday, Grisham used her political position to suspend open and concealed carry laws in Albuquerque and the surrounding area and threatened to lengthen or renew her unconstitutional order.

Although she basically agreed that her order might be unconstitutional and she might lose in court, she went ahead and became New Mexico's first dictator.

Her decision was so crazy that even far, far-left anti-gun activist David Hogg criticized her.

“I support gun safety but there is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution,” Hogg posted on X.

I support gun safety but there is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution. https://t.co/6GfbOZLc7g

Even far, far-leftist and anti-intelligence Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) had negative words about Grisham's executive order, causing many Republicans to experience the vapors upon hearing his words of reason:

“I support gun safety laws. However, this order from the Governor of New Mexico violates the U.S. Constitution,” Lieu wrote on X. “No state in the union can suspend the federal Constitution. There is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution.”

New Mexico GOP state Reps. Stefani Lord and John Block on Saturday said that they were going forward to impeach Grisham.

“I am calling on counsel to begin the impeachment process against Governor Grisham,” Lord said. “This is an abhorrent attempt at imposing a radical, progressive agenda on an unwilling populous. Rather than addressing crime at its core, Governor Grisham is restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners. Even Grisham believes this emergency order won’t prohibit criminals from carrying or using weapons; a basic admission that this will only put New Mexicans in danger as they won’t be able to defend themselves from violent crime.”

Block said that there was “no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution.”

And what makes anyone on the left really believe that if you take the rights of law abiding individuals to defend themselves, that lawless miscreants would go along with the gun ban? All it serves to do is leave the good people of Albuquerque defenseless.

Elon Musk responded on his X platform to Grisham’s order posting: 

At risk of stating what should be obvious, deliberately violating the Constitution is next-level illegal.

How soon can this person be removed from office?

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 9, 2023

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) responded, “She’s nuts, but she’s taking what the tyrants did during COVID (forced jabs, travel bans, closed businesses, suppressed speech — with no laws passed) to the next level.”

She's also doing what the Nazis did to the public by taking away their means of self-defense against a tyrannical government. Who does she think she is anyway? Gretchen Whitmer?

NM Gov. Grisham pays $60K+ in alleged crotch-grabbing settlement

New Mexico Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham paid James Hallinan, a former campaign staffer, no less than $62,500 in a legal settlement after he accused her of grabbing his crotch in 2018, according to the Albuquerque Journal. The alleged incident was said to have occurred in the home of state Rep. Deborah Armstrong during a strategy meeting several months before the 2018 election.

Hallinan told the Santa Fe New Mexican that Grisham dumped water in his lap and then reached toward his "junk."

"Governor Lujan Grisham and Mr. Hallinan have resolved any differences or issues to their satisfaction. I am not able to provide any further information," Hallinan's attorney Rachel Berlin Benjamin told Fox News in a statement.

Both Lujan Grisham’s office and Armstrong have denied any such event occurred, but that's what you'd expect them to say. #BelieveAllMen

Lujan Grisham and the campaign "strenuously deny that there is any merit or truth to Mr. Hallinan’s claims, including his claims about difficulty finding or keeping work after the campaign," campaign spokesman Jared Leopold told the Albuquerque Journal. Leopold's crotch remains untouched by politicians.

"They reached a settlement in order to avoid the continuing distraction and significant expense of possible litigation and allow them to concentrate on working for the people of New Mexico during this pandemic," was the excuse given. #BelieveAllMen

Hallinan said he’d been assaulted in front of Armstrong, Grisham’s campaign adviser Dominick Cabello and two staffers. The governor’s spokeswoman, Nora Meyers Sackett, said: "We’re a rambunctious bunch. I think they were playing around with water." Aha!

Hallinan [who may be gay or just looking for a payday] later tweeted that he’d endured "long, horrific abuse" under Grisham and accused her staff of trying to cover it up. He said he felt as if he’d been "under her thumb." 

It sounds like it was more than just her thumb.

NM Gov. has her own version of social justice--spending taxpayer money on booze, groceries

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) got caught with her hand in the cookie jar and the tequila bottle after she spent about $13,500 of taxpayers' money for alcohol, dry cleaning, groceries, and who knows what else. The cash came from a taxpayer-supported expense fund, according to the Sante Fe New Mexican.

The booze bill included more than $200 spent in September for: 5 bottles of tequila; 2 bottles of vodka; 2 bottles of Merlot, and single bottles of whiskey and gin, the report said.

The governor also hosted in-person staff meetings at the governor's mansion while simultaneously warning the taxpaying public to avoid mixing households to suppress the spread of the coronavirus. Sounds familiar?f

About half the $13,500, spent over six months, went toward food for the governor’s Cabinet members and staffers during those meetings, Grisham spokesman Tripp

Stelnicki told The Associated Press. 

Although Democrats seemed fine with the governor's spending, state Republicans were quite outraged over her spending of taxpayer's money.

"I didn’t realize the governor was so underpaid that she has to use discretionary money for things that she should be paying for herself," state House Minority Whip Rod Montoya, a Republican, told the New Mexican. "Legislators are all up here doing our job, and we’re doing it on per diem."

Other state Republicans were also vocal about Grisham's spending like a drunken sailor in a whorehouse, which is not intended as an insult to sailors nor to sex workers.

After the New Mexican’s report appeared, Grisham addressed the matter Friday in a virtual news conference.

"I don’t want New Mexicans to feel like I don’t take seriously their hardship," Grisham told reporters and said that she didn't personally make the purchases.

Grisham, 61, is a native of New Mexico and is in her first term as governor after serving in the U.S. House and prior to that as the state’s health secretary. She has taken heat from businesses because of her coronavirus restrictions that she is willing to overlook when it comes to her own behavior.

Journalist claims abuse and that cops profiled her--then the truth came out

New Mexico -- Jenni Monet [no relation to the French impressionist], refers to herself as a self-styled "award-winning journalist,"  and Native American activist. She claimed that she was racially profiled at a liquor store and subsequently by the cops who responded to a call made by the store. She said that she was also a victim of police brutality.

But alas!  Surveillance video from the night of her arrest for aggravated DWI in Santa Fe, New Mexico, shows another side of the story, which includes the allegedly drunken Monet making obscene gestures at the liquor store employees and screaming obscenities at the cops as she was cuffed and arrested.

Court documents obtained by KRQE News 13 say the journalist was turned away by a liquor store in Santa Fe when she tried to buy two bottles of wine while allegedly appearing to be drunk. Perhaps the store employees would rather lose the money from a sale than for her to lose her life or that of another for drunk driving.

To watch the video click here.

According to surveillance video obtained by KRQE News 13, Monet pulls up to the store and goes inside, but is refused service. "She then went back out to her car before she went back inside, and started screaming and making obscene gestures toward the staff." [She can be seen "flipping the bird" in the video.]

After the encounter, both Monet and the employees at the liquor store called authorities.

Footage from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department, which was also obtained by KRQE News 13, captured the activist’s seemingly belligerent behavior toward the police officer. Monet dropped the "F bomb" several times and referred to the police officer as a "fat-finger f***." Not nice. Not professional.

After Monet denies that she’s been drinking to a deputy, he asked the woman, "How come I can smell a really strong odor of alcohol?"

She also refused to take a sobriety test using expletives to explain her position.

FBI arrests 5 at NM Islamic compound

The FBI announced Friday that they have arrested all five of the suspects at the New Mexico compound just days after multiple charges were foolishly dropped. The Islamic jihadis are being charged with violating federal firearms and conspiracy laws.

This action by the FBI may have prevented a mass murder rampage.

The announcement comes after local prosecutors dropped charges in the death of a 3-year-old boy at the compound site, evidently due to fears the judge would be called Islamophobic. Taos County DA Donald Gallegos said Friday his office would now seek grand jury indictments involving the boy's death. He added that seeking indictments would provide more time to gather evidence.

"The defendants, Jany Leveille, 35, a Haitian national illegally present in the United States, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40, Hujrah Wahhaj, 37, Subhanah Wahhaj, 35, and Lucas Morton, 40, are charged in a criminal complaint that was filed earlier today in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico," the FBI said in a statement.

"The criminal complaint charges Jany Leveille with being an alien unlawfully in possession of firearms and ammunition in the District of New Mexico from Nov. 2017 through Aug. 2018," the bureau added. "The criminal complaint charges the other four defendants with aiding and abetting Leveille in committing the offense, and with conspiring with Leveille to commit the offense."

Incredibly, on Wednesday, three of the suspects were released from custody, just hours after a judge dismissed all of the charges against them. This came after a diary was found at the compound outlining plans of a shooting attack.

District Judge Emilio Chavez dismissed charges against Lucas Morton, Subhannah Wahhaj and Hujrah Wahhaj, ruling that authorities violated the state’s “10-day rule.” It's a 10-day limit for an evidentiary hearing to establish probably cause.

In a separate hearing on Wednesday, Judge Jeff McElroy dismissed the same charges against their fellow defendants, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and Jany Leveille.

Taos County Sheriff's deputies discovered eleven children at the compound and they were taken into the custody of state child welfare workers. On August 6th, a child’s remains were found on the property.

Children from the compound were interviewed. It was found that Siraj Ibn Wahhaj was allegedly training children to commit school shootings, prosecutors said. They were instructed how to kill teachers, law enforcement and would go to other "corrupt" institutions.

The FBI arrested all five suspects without incident on Friday afternoon in Taos.

Leveille, if convicted, faces a statutory maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment then deportation upon completion of her sentence, according to the bureau.

If convicted of aiding and abetting Leveille, her co-defendants could each face a statutory maximum penalty of 10 years of imprisonment. If convicted on the conspiracy charge, meanwhile, the five could each face a statutory penalty of five years' imprisonment.

All five alleged scumwafers are scheduled to appear in federal court in Albuquerque on September 4th.

Prosecutors: Two jihadi Muslims linked to NM compound planned to attack hospital, etc.

A pair of Muslim jihadis accused of training children to carry out mass shootings  at an "extremist Muslim" compound in the New Mexico desert were planning to hit an Atlanta hospital as one of their targets before they were arrested by police, according to court documents filed Friday.

Taos County prosecutors interviewed the 11 children found at the compound earlier this month, and claimed that Jany Leveille wanted to "confront 'corrupt' institutions or individuals--and reveal the 'truth' to these corrupt institutions or individuals."

Prosecutors said one of the children interviewed said Leveille "specifically" mentioned Grady Hospital as a "corrupt" institution. She "expressed her displeasure with Grady Hospital . . . due to treatment she and her mother received there."

A ten-page, handwritten document was recovered entitled: "Phases of a Terrorist Attack" from the compound, and included "instructions for the one-time terrorist," but it isn't known if a specific target was mentioned in the document.

According to authorities, Leveille and her sex partner, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, "would laugh and joke about dying in Jihad."

Allegations that Wahhaj and his 3-year-old son, Abdul-ghani Wahhaj, left Georgia without taking medications the child needed to treat severe health problems, including seizures. The affidavit alleges that Leveille and Wahhaj saw the boy's seizures and knew he'd been diagnosed with seizure disorder, but gave him no medication nor took any action to seek proper medical care.

The child's death as written in a journal entry they attributed to Leveille, said that Abdul-ghani died late December 2017 as his heartbeat faded in and out during a religious ritual as they read the Koran and prayed to cast out demonic spirits.

The boy's remains were found on August 6th inside an underground tunnel at the compound.

The world's crappiest judge, the Horrible Sarah Backus, said the previous evidence provided by prosecutors was "troubling" but did not indicate any clear threat to public safety from the defendants, who have no criminal records. As far as she was concerned, they posed no threat to her personally so it was no biggie to let them off on bail.

But on Friday prosecutors said their new evidence proved Leveille "and possibly others of the defendants may suffer from dangerous delusions [aka Islam] ... [and] ... have a history of endangering the welfare of children."

Gee, ya think?

In addition to charges of child neglect, Leveille is also being held on accusations by federal immigration authorities that she overstayed her non-immigrant visitor visa after arriving in the United States 20 years ago [or 7,305 days ago] from her native Haiti. She was returned Thursday to Taos from a federal holding facility in Texas.

Regulation Nation

Real freedom isn't something the government gives you; it's the freedom of being left alone by the government. It started with the Blue Laws--laws forcing businesses to be closed on Sunday mornings in order to allow people time to go to church. Today it is the mountains of regulations that businesses my adhere to or pay the price of breaking these regulations.

In the 1950's, about one in twenty small businesses required a license to operate; today it's greater than one in three. And the idea that we really need licenses to operate professionally or efficiently is ludicrous. If it made sense then we would need a license to have kids, not just to get married.

In Texas, if you want to be a computer technician you need to first get a private investigator's license. To do that, you need to either work with a licensed PI for three years as an apprentice, or get a degree in criminal justice. I wonder what the government sees as the reason for this requirement, but I'm sure someone like Jay Carney could explain it.

This blog that you're reading doesn't require that I license and register it, but the city of Philadelphia sees it differently. They require a $300 business privilege license to blog. 

Massachusetts mandates that all children in daycare centers brush their teeth after lunch and they even supply the toothpaste. How nanny state of them. 

If you want to give tours in Washington D.C., you must be licensed or face 90 days in jail. The only purpose this license can serve is to bring in revenue to the fat cats who make their living off of how you make yours.

In Santa Monica, California, it might be illegal for you to smoke in your own home. Smoking had already been banned on beaches, parks, restaurants and near office buildings, but that wasn't enough. Now the ban extends to new tenants in apartments and condos. Tenants who lived there prior to the ban don't have to worry--all they have to do is designate whether their place is "smoking" or "non-smoking."

These are just a few examples of crazy regulations; examples of how the government has become so intrusive in our lives that a day doesn't go by when they aren't involved in our activities. It's pretty bad when you even have to deal with the bureaucracy when going out of business, but that's exactly the case in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. If you want to have a "going out of business sale" you must first submit reams of paperwork itemizing what you plan to sell off. Next you must pay $2 on every $1000 worth of inventory you're planning to sell, and pay this fee whether or not it gets sold.

Finally, there's the intrusion of government in cases where they can force you to provide your services when you feel religiously compromised. This was the case last August in New Mexico when their Supreme Court ruled that a commercial photography business that offers services to the public "is subject to the state anti-discrimination laws." That is, they "must serve same-sex couples on the same basis that it serves opposite-sex couples." I'm not so sure that this is a case of discrimination--I believe it has to do with the photographer's religious beliefs and values, and her right to not perform a service that goes against these beliefs. It isn't like the gay couple can't go elsewhere and in the free market (where the government stays out of the equation) this business will reap the rewards or punishment of their decision.

Freedom is the right to make your own life decisions without government interference as long as you do not hurt or endanger others. In the free market, my decisions will affect my success.
