Minnesota: Four correctional officers were injured Saturday afternoon after a man serving a life sentence for first-degree murder attacked staff at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Rush City. The assault happened around 3:20 p.m. on Aug. 9 while staff were conducting routine cell searches and suspected the man of being in possession of homemade alcohol, also referred to as “hooch.”

When officers approached, the man assaulted them with a makeshift weapon described as a shank, injuring four officers.

One officer sustained a puncture wound and was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where he is currently undergoing treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to recover. Three other officers, who helped restrain the attacker, were taken to a hospital by state vehicle for evaluation and have since been released.

The DOC said the area of the prison where the attack occurred will remain on lockdown over the weekend. The rest of the facility resumed normal operations last night. The man accused of the assault is being transferred to the DOC’s maximum-security prison in Oak Park Heights.

The department’s Office of Special Investigations is handling the case and will refer it to the Chisago County Attorney’s Office for possible felony assault charges.

DOC officials said the man has been housed at Rush City since his sentencing for first-degree murder.

Commissioner Paul Schnell called the attack a “cowardly” and “senseless act of violence,” adding that the department will pursue every available option to hold the man accountable.

Authorities have not released the identities of the officers injured.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for their recovery.🙏🏻

Texas Democrats didn’t stand and fight—they fled, obstructing critical state business for hardworking Texans.

I’ll call special session after special session for years if I have to.

Only cowards run to blue states.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, whose state has been gerrymandered to give Democrats a 14-3 congressional seat advantage, is asked how he can oppose what Texas is doing when his state is far worse. His brain malfunctions as he attempts to answer.

Indiana: A Speedway police officer was injured when their car was struck by a suspect's vehicle during a pursuit Friday night.

IMPD officers initially responded to a report around 9 p.m. Friday of a house that had been shot at on Dunk Drive, near West 38th Street and Moller Road. Two people at the home ran from the scene, got into a vehicle and drove off, police said.

Moments later, a Speedway officer recognized the car and attempted a traffic stop, but the driver fled. As the officer began pursuit of the suspect vehicle, a second Speedway officer in the area attempted to join the pursuit. Police said the driver of the suspect vehicle ran a red light at West 34th Street and Auburn Road, crashing into the second Speedway officer's vehicle.

The officer was taken to Methodist Hospital, where his condition was said to be "stable," according to an IMPD spokesperson.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for his recovery.🙏🏻

An official motive hasn't been released yet... Friends that were close to him stated he was bullied, but that was years ago.

"One of the biggest hypocrites of them all," Lidia Curanaj called out New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is now being investigated by the DOJ.

WOAH 🚨 Barack Obama gave an interview to NPR and accidentally gave the conclusion of the CIA intelligence report saying Russia helped Donald Trump win the election BEFORE the CIA even started the report

It was all Barack Obama. Literal treason

“Obama may have given us a smoking gun, sir. He did, yeah. He's either the first clairvoyant president in American history because he seemed to know on December 19, before the CIA had redone the Intelligence Committee assessment, what its outcome was, or more likely, he knew the fix was in.

This is an interview he gives NPR and I guess he forgot that they hadn't done the work yet. So he tells NPR expects the CIA to conclude, reverse itself and conclude that Vladimir Putin tried to help Donald Trump.

The problem is the CIA hasn't really even started the work.

It just got going and he's so embarrassed he comes back later and tries to walk it back a little bit”

The most violent place I have ever visited in the world is Skid Row Los Angeles. In the center of absolute chaos I found five children. Immigrants from Mexico. Their mom told me she came to the United States seeking help. She could’ve not chosen a worst place.

Texas Rangers and DPS troopers are working with federal officials to track down fleeing Democrats.

We’ll find them. We’ll hold them accountable.

You may soon find the derelict Democrats on milk cartons.
