Interesting approach, Salem

This Oregon town apparently thinks it's best to keep criminals gainfully employed as city employees - I guess, to keep a closer eye on them? "Woke Salem City Council May Revisit Reappointment of Police Review Board Member Who Coldly Executed a Teenage Girl".

China practices a new kind of piracy

 

H/T: Instapundit 

Woke up this morning and found some changes had been made

"President Trump: Nicolás Maduro ‘Captured and Flown Out Of’ Venezuela".

From the sound of things, the people of Caracas seem to be ecstatic.

I heard elsewhere that Maduro and his wife are being flown to New York City. Maybe he's going to become Mamdani's Foreign Affairs Minister.

Update  Nice touch!  "BULLSEYE! Trump Strikes Hugo Chavez’s Mausoleum as Venezuela’s Socialist Legacy Goes Up in Flames".

Update II  H/T: Friend and commenter JeffS.

Too often, states that are red turn out to be a bit on the pink side

"Ohio Governor: Fraud Is 'the Cost of Doing Business'"

Governor Mike DeWine is hardly a favorite of Republicans. A moderate Republican, I would argue that he is marginally better than a Democrat. But only marginally. He was a COVID tyrant and a sour critic of the direction the party has gone, as trust in government has declined. He is, as Bob Dole was once described, a tax collector for the welfare state.

Well, that's different

"High-Speed Justice: A Custom 1970 Plymouth Satellite Sedan"

The 1970 Plymouth Satellite Sedan crossing the block at Kissimmee 2026 as Lot E201.1 is more than just a custom cruiser. It serves as a fascinating tribute to a legendary piece of law enforcement history from the early 1980s. During that era, the New Mexico Highway Patrol confiscated a genuine Superbird to intercept high-speed violators along Interstate 40. This build recreates that pursuit aesthetic by applying the iconic “winged warrior” aerodynamic package to a four-door sedan body. It combines the utility of a standard patrol car with the radical performance visuals of NASCAR-inspired design.
