Horrible crime.  Sketchy details, combined with police asking for help, yet not releasing CCTV video, might mean sketchy story.
Update: Victim identified as 23-year-old Andre Johnson Jr (pictured right).

DETROIT –A man was shot and killed while waiting in a car with his two children in the back seat at a gas station on Detroit’s east side Saturday night, according to police.
The shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. Saturday at a gas station on the corner of East Vernor Highway and Mount Elliott Street.

The man was waiting in the car with his two young children while his girlfriend was inside the gas station.
Detroit police said the victim was reaching into the back seat taking care of his kids when he was shot through an open window. About a half-dozen shots were fired into the van. Detroit police said the man had no time to react. (more…)

(Via NBC) Donald Trump handily won the straw poll at the National Federal of Republican Assemblies event in Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, becoming both the first and second top pick among conservatives here after delivering another boisterous speech.
“I don’t want it to be about me. This is about common sense,” Trump said, even as he extolled his surging numbers. “Normally I wouldn’t say this, but I need your frickin’ votes!” he exclaimed at another point.
A few hours after addressing a cheering crowd of about 800, Trump was declared the first choice Republican presidential candidate with 52% of the vote, as well as the top pick for attendees’ second choice, with 26%. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson were the second and third choices, respectively, in the NFRA straw poll for first and second-choice candidates. (more…)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

This is way beyond priceless, seriously.   Even entrenched die-hard democrats will admit this regular speak and delivery is funny.  Often good natured humor can be used as a weapon (Ronald Reagan was the absolute master of that), and in this instance Trump hits it right out of the ballpark.  Funny stuff:

This approach will do more damage to Hillary Clinton -as a presidential candidate- than a thousand congressional investigations. Candidate Trump knows that too. (more…)

Remarkable and uplifting story of how a 13-year-old boy scout helped his Father survive three days in the wilderness and hiked out to get help.
Weighing in at 90lbs and carrying a 40lb backpack, 13-year-old Charlie Finlayson not only had the presence of mind to stabilize his seriously injured dad – he also knew exactly how to survive.

IDAHO – […]  The 52-year-old mountaineer and his son were camped at Ship Island Lake in the Bighorn Crags of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness northwest of Challis. On Aug. 17, the two were scouting a climbing route when a boulder rolled off the mountainside. They hadn’t started climbing and don’t know what dislodged the big rock.

“Dumb luck. It didn’t come off too far above me, so it wasn’t rolling too fast,” Finlayson said.

But the refrigerator-size boulder knocked him off the ledge, and he tumbled 20 to 30 feet down the mountain. (more…)

A stunning new Iowa caucus poll holds some very interesting information.  Bernie Sanders (30%) has closed in on Hillary (37%).  Donald Trump leads republicans with 23%, Carson comes in 2nd with 18%, and Jeb Bush drops to 6%.
Additionally interesting, is the increasingly obvious lack of interest in any of the GOPe splitter group (Rubio, Kasich, Fiorina, Huckabee, Christie, Graham, Pataki, Perry and Gilmore).  The media seem to completely overlook the splitter group doesn’t even try to compete.

This is a poll of confirmed Iowa Caucus attendees – Full Poll Data pdf below: (more…)

This is an open request for an investigative MSM reporter to engage in some fact finding. I believe you will find the biggest story of the campaign season within Jeb’s campaign finance manipulation – if you do a little ground work. ~ /SD

A recent article highlights how Jeb Bush top Florida “campaign fundraisers” have quit the campaign.  However, the focus remains on financing any possible success from Wall Street Super-PACs.  What does this mean?
It means a few things.  Importantly, it means Donald Trump’s strategic approach against the GOPe Road Map is winning.

Three top Jeb Bush fundraisers abruptly parted ways with his presidential campaign on Friday, amid internal personality conflicts and questions about the strength of his candidacy, POLITICO has learned.
There are different versions of what transpired. The Florida-based fundraising consultants — Kris Money, Trey McCarley, and Debbie Aleksander — have said that they voluntarily quit the campaign and were still working with Bush’s super PAC, Right to Rise Super PAC. Others said the three, who worked under the same contract, were let go because they were no longer needed for the current phase of the campaign.  (link)

Notice CAREFULLY these three have quit the “campaign finance”, but still work on the “Super-PAC finance” angle. (more…)

– (UPDATE 5:45pm EST) Suspect arrested is named as:
Shannon J Miles (DOB 09/15/84)  The weapon (handgun) has been recovered and initial ballistics match.  Shannon J Miles has a previous arrest record to include weapons charges.

Shannon J Miles (cop killer)  Deputy Darren Goforth (victim)

– UPDATE (5pm EST): HOUSTON (KTRK/KPRC/CNN/RNN) – According to the Associated Press, a suspect has been arrested in the killing of a Texas deputy at a Houston-area gas station.
The arrest came just more than an hour after Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman had made a plea to the public to come forward with information and assist in finding the person responsible. (link)
It appears the person currently being questioned by law enforcement has “learning disabilities”, which is generally code-speak for “mentally impaired”.  As a consequence therein, a strong possibility exists that the suspect’s behavior could be prone to the influence of others….  we would not be surprised if this turns out to be accurate.
(VIA FOX) Authorities searched Saturday for a suspect in the execution-style killing of a Texas county sheriff’s deputy who was on duty when he shot several times at a suburban Houston gas station. (more…)

Deputy Darren Goforth
A Harris County Deputy was assassinated last night while putting gas in his patrol vehicle.  A black male suspect approximately 5’11”, 20 to 25-years-old, approached the officer and fired a single shot in the back of his head.  The suspect then stood above the officer and shot 3 more bullets into his back.

#UPDATE: The officer was shot once in the head, and 3 times in the back. Chaotic scene on West Rd. at Telge. Avoid area if possible.
