The NY Attorney General draws a focus on her operations. In the amended complaint, paragraphs 184 and on, those are detailed. Her sole duty was to arrange the jets for the LaPierres, and sometimes for the high-rolling head of Advancement. Until 2012, she was paid $15,000 a month. In 2015, that was upped to $19,000 a month. Then Woody Phillips told her to begin adding a 10% commission onto the tab for the planes and keep that. Later Ackerman McQueen began paying her $4,000 a month in addition. In 2018, this one person, working very much part-time, drew $2.6 million from NRA. Oh, and she wasn’t licensed as a travel agent. [More]

Five times since last May, sheriff's deputies in Kansas and California have stopped armored cars operated by Empyreal Logistics, a Pennsylvania-based company that serves marijuana businesses and financial institutions that work with them. The cops made off with cash after three of those stops, seizing a total of $1.2 million, but did not issue any citations or file any criminal charges, which are not necessary to confiscate property through civil forfeiture. That process allows police to pad their budgets by seizing assets they allege are connected to criminal activity, even when the owner is never charged, let alone convicted. [More]
In a rational world, the armored car occupants would be able to lawfully defend themselves against all predatory thugs.

“We filed the lawsuit after we discovered that California’s Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, a resource guide for local school districts, included prayer to Aztec gods – the same deities that were invoked when the Aztecs worshipped with human sacrifices,” said Paul Jonna, partner at LiMandri & Jonna LLP and Thomas More Society Special Counsel. “The Aztec prayers at issue – which seek blessings from and the intercession of these demonic forces – were not being taught as poetry or history. Rather, the curriculum instructed students to chant the prayers for emotional nourishment after a ‘lesson that may be emotionally taxing or even when student engagement may appear to be low.’ The idea was to use them as prayers.” [More]
