Yesterday morning, two cops were called to the scene of an
accident in Holladay, Utah, about ten miles south of Salt Lake City. A male running from a BMW opened fire at the cops,
killing one of them. In a subsequent gun battle, the suspect was killed and another officer wounded. A woman also emerged from the car and
escaped.
COMMENTS:
This latest shooting involves a rash of officer-involved
shootings across the United States where the first shots fired were at
cops. Regardless of the causes, which
can certainly be argued, these shootings have got to stop. It appears to me that cops have become
wild-game targets. Unfortunately, the
shooters usually end up dead at the scene; I would prefer that they be captured
and slowly hung by their testicles.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. A friend was telling me that the feds are secretly out
confiscating money and assets from law-abiding citizens. Is that true and how are they getting away
with it? (Lorna ~ Beaumont, TX)
A. Federal laws allow law enforcement to seize cash and
assets upon mere suspicion they are being used to further a criminal
activity. Once seized, they can be sold
and the funds retained by the law enforcement agency; so, there is incentive on
the part of law enforcement to conduct such activity. Once a seizure takes place, the burden is
upon the owner to prove his innocence.
These guys make the IRS agents look like angels.
Q. How many foreign students attend colleges in the United
States? (Ed ~ Morgan Hill, CA)
A. Approximately one million. Most of them are from China, India and South
Korea. I’m sure they artificially
increase the prices of tuition and crowd out many American students. I don’t mind helping out the rest of the
world, but we’ve got to learn to take care of our own first. We don’t have enough money to give Social
Security recipients a raise, but we have enough money to take in Syrian
refugees, some of which will undoubtedly be terrorists; go figure.
Q. What do you think of the hostage exchange with Iran that
happened over the weekend? (Bill ~ Sioux
Falls, SD)
A. I’m sure the families are happy and relieved and I’m glad
to see them home. They should have been
released as a condition of the Iran nuclear deal; instead, they were traded for
seven criminals and charges were dropped against another 14. In
short, I’m not very happy with it. Yet
to come: the closing and turning over of Gitmo to Cuba.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“I still remember, as a kid, tying a yellow ribbon around a
tree in front of my house during the 444 days that Iran held 52 Americans
hostage. Iran is not a place we should
be doing business with.” ~ Scott Walker
