Michigan State University Had Prior Felony Gun Charge Dismissed by Progressive Prosecutor

Washington Free Beacon

A gunman who killed three and wounded five others at Michigan State University on Monday would have been barred from owning a firearm at the time of the shooting had he not had felony gun charges dismissed by a progressive prosecutor.

Anthony McRae was charged in June 2019 with illegally carrying a concealed handgun without a permit, but later had those charges dismissed by the office of Ingham County district attorney Carol Siemon (D.). Her office instead let McRae plead guilty to a lesser misdemeanor gun charge, and he served a little more than a year on probation, which ended May 2021. He initially faced up to five years in prison for the felony charge, the Detroit News reported.

Siemon retired from the district attorney’s office at the start of this year after facing criticism from judges and law enforcement officials for her soft-on-crime policies. The same year that McRae was released, ​​Ingham County sheriff Scott Wriggelsworth pushed East Lansing’s city council “to reconsider her internal felony firearm charging policy,” which he said “does not hold people properly criminally accountable, and increases the likelihood of additional gun violence.”

Joe Biden, to the degree he was cognizant, has always reflected the Obama-era utopia dream of a borderless world, and thus millions of poor have illegally entered the United States. On numerous occasions, he offered clear warnings of what he would do if he ever had power over immigration policy. Do we remember this 2020 Biden boast to let in millions and offer blanket amnesties?

Tradition is the cumulative experience of thousands of human lives. It is the conclusions reached by countless ancestors who tested what it meant to live well. Unfortunately, we are losing many of our traditions and their accompanying wisdom, abandoning the practices by which we speak to the past, and the past speaks to us. One way our ancestors lived well was by engaging in certain yearly celebrations surrounding Christmas and the holiday season. They bequeathed many of these delightful and meaningful celebrations to us—if we care to receive them.

Trump’s Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan Sees a Huge Problem with Biden’s New Deportation Numbers

Dec 24, 20244 min read
President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar said that while the Biden administration’s latest deportation numbers appear high, they aren’t actually indicative of increased enforcement actions across the country. More than 271,000 illegal migrants were deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in fiscal year 2024, marking the largest number of foreign nationals removed from the United States in a decade, according to a report released Thursday by the Biden administration. However, Tom Homan — a former acting director for the agency and the incoming border czar for the Trump administration — said these removals were largely a result of Border Patrol apprehensions and not indicative of immigration enforcement in the interior of the country.
