I just watched a woman who gave 35 years of her life to the State of Florida.

Her badge # read 100.

She wasn’t a DEI hire. She wasn’t pushed in by politics or quotas.

She was hired because she was competent… disciplined… and built for the job.

And after 35 years, she was able to retire with honor in a Republican-controlled state.

A state that still values law enforcement… a state that rewards service instead of punishing it.
Tallahassee may lean Democrat as a city, but the Highway Patrol she served under operates in a Republican-led state that protects order, merit, and courage.

Lieutenant Thompson, I salute you. Thank you for your service and your unwavering dedication.

Can we all give this woman a thank you, an amen, or a salute?

BREAKING: Court records say Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, NC, arrested Oscar Solarzano in connection with yesterday’s stabbing on the light rail. He is being held on no bond

Solarzano, whose address is listed as the Roof Above homeless center, is charged with attempted first degree murder, AWDW serious injury, breaking/entering a motor vehicle, carrying a concealed weapon and intoxicated and disruptive. In court paperwork, Magistrate Rebecca Howell, who ordered Solarzano held on no bond, said Solarzano is in the country illegally and has been deported before.

The warrant says he appeared to be intoxicated on the train when he challenged the victim to a fight. The warrant says he used slurred and unintelligible words and attacked the victim with a large fixed blade knife.

The affidavit isn’t online yet and will have more information. As of 9:30 am, CMPD hasn’t released details on the attack or said whether the suspect and victim knew each other. CATS has not said whether PSS, the company that provides security for CATS, was on board the train at the time of the attack. Solarzano’s B&E charge says he “broke into” the light rail train— I’m not sure what this means in this context and whether this is a fancy way of saying he didn’t pay his fare. CATS hasn’t released that information.

Solarzano does not have any prior criminal history listed on Portal.

He’s due in court Monday at 10 am before Judge Keith Smith.

Poor performers don’t magically improve.
Waiting for them to “come around” isn’t leadership, it’s avoidance.

I wrote a new piece about the leadership myth that’s destroying morale and crushing good cops.

🚨BOMBSHELL: Ilhan Omar is DONE! The rats are scattering and most of them are BEGGING reporters to hear their stories!

Whistleblowers now confirm her campaign funneled a massive amount of money to her husband’s firm while Somali-linked networks in Minneapolis ran one of the biggest COVID relief fraud schemes in history, hundreds of millions stolen.

She knew. She benefited. She covered for them.

This isn’t “community outreach.” This is corruption on steroids.

Ice or snow, take it slow. Northeast Nebraska is getting another round of snow today. Here’s a current look at South Sioux City.

It’s part of a system largely to the east and north of Nebraska. Check road conditions for your route if you’re headed in that direction this weekend.

No neighborhood or business deserves to be surrounded by garbage. I’m doing everything I can to clean up what the authorities aren’t supporting. The neighbors told me they’ve made many calls to 311, and some businesses also said they’ve reported it but no one ever comes.

Mexico: Reports that a car bomb exploded in front of the Community Police in Coahuayana, Michoacán with initial reports of two police officers being killed and up to seven injured.

There are reports that in addition to the car bomb, drones might have also dropped explosives as well.

Pray for all involved.🙏🏻

Of all the destructive and ruinous policies aimed at the heart of our Republic, few can compete with “birthright citizenship.”

Every illegal alien, foreign visitor and visa scammer, merely by giving birth on US soil, can access unlimited welfare for life through their “American” child and send the extra cash back home to support their foreign village. That same child is granted full voting privileges upon his 18th birthday, making illegal aliens and their descendants one of the largest voting blocs in the United States.

Under “birthright citizenship” a terrorist and his terrorist wife can commit immigration fraud, come here as tourists, perpetrate a terrorist attack, give birth, and have an “American” child.

“Birthright citizenship” is an atrocity flatly and flagrantly incompatible with any concept of nationhood.

Two arrested after dozens of guns, including 'cop-killer' model, found in spare tire at southern border.

Great work by our TxDPS Criminal Investigations Division (CID), along with our federal partners, in seizing 30 firearms headed to Mexico to supply the cartels. One of the seized weapons, referred to as a ‘cop-killer’ due to its ability to penetrate body armor.

BREAKING: Four people are in critical condition after an incident that left multiple people shot and others hurt in Muskegon on Saturday, according to Muskegon Police, Michigan.

More details will be provided as they become available.

Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia, an illegal alien from Honduras, is being charged with attempted first-degree murder after he stabbed a victim with a large knife on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina. ICE lodged a detainer to ensure this criminal illegal is not released back into North Carolina neighborhoods. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the county will honor the detainer since they have a history of not cooperating with ICE.
 
His criminal history includes prior arrests for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, destroying evidence, resisting arrest, using a false ID, and convictions for robbery and illegally re-entry.

This criminal illegal alien was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge in 2018 and removed by the Trump Administration on March 9, 2018. He was apprehended illegally crossing the border again in 2021 and was again removed. He entered the country illegally for a THIRD time at an unknown date and location.
