Connecticut Democrat State Rep. Arrested for Stealing Opponent’s Campaign Signs – Apple AirTag Tracker Led Investigators to Her Home

 State Rep Anne Hughes (D) was charged with larceny after stealing campaign signs belonging to her opponent.

Apple AirTags in the signs led to Anne Hughes’ home.

Hughes posted an ‘apology’ to Facebook after she got caught.

“Yesterday I removed lawn signs that shouldn’t have been on public property. I apologize for removing them rather than contacting the police or my opponent’s campaign to remove them, and I take full responsibility and accountability for my actions,” Hughes said.

“Campaigns should be about issues and differences of ideas, not yard signs. I apologize for the distraction, and am committed to having civil discourse with my opponent for the duration of this campaign season,” Anne Hughes said in a Facebook post on Saturday.

NBC Connecticut reported:

State representative Anne Hughes was arrested on Friday after several stolen political signs were located on property owned by Hughes, according to police.

The Easton police department received a complaint from the Darrell Harris campaign staff that several political signs were stolen from the side of the road in the area of Route 59 and Judd Road.

After further investigation, police say that an AirTag tracker showed that at least one of the signs was located on property owned by Hughes.

A follow-up investigation was conducted by police, which led to Hughes returning several signs, including the sign with the AirTag tracker.

Police found probable cause to issue Hughes a misdemeanor summons for sixth-degree larceny.

Closing Arguments

This election, in our 250th year of independence, is firmly about two competing visions of individual liberty.

t the end of every trial, the respective legal representatives, defense and prosecution, deliver their closing arguments to the jury before deliberation.

This is the final week before the very consequential midterm elections. The American people are the jury, and they are hearing diametrically opposed arguments. I have said this before and will reiterate: this is not about two political parties, Republican and Democrat. This is an ideological confrontation between constitutional conservatism (classical liberalism) and Marxism/Islamism. The long-term ramifications of this election are not just about “political power” in Washington, D.C., or even in several respective states. It is truly about America 300, charting the course for the next 50 years in the sense of this constitutional republic, the longest continuously running in the history of the world.

This election, in our 250th year of independence, is firmly about two competing visions of individual liberty. I sadly must admit that the political party known as the Republican Party is horrific at messaging. The other political party is very adept at manipulating language and tugging at the emotional heartstrings as they enslave the indomitable individual spirit. Consider how perplexing it should be to hear a political party that embraces collective subjugation try to champion affordability. I tend to LMAO when I hear leftists ramble on about healthcare costs when they passed legislation and signed it into law under the deceptive name, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Now, these same delusional decepticons are trying to make us believe that they can solve the issue of healthcare affordability, which they have made unaffordable. Their insidious solution is just to have the government, them, take over the entire healthcare system: Medicare for All. Like, sure, that is a winning strategy: socialized healthcare.

It is just the same as they are laughably attempting to make us believe that they care about high gas prices. It was the leftists, going back to Barack Hussein Obama, who wanted exorbitant fuel prices in order to force Americans to buy over-priced electric vehicles. Ya think fuel prices are high now? Just wait until the Marxists force the Green New Deal 2.0 on America, along with unachievable fuel economy standards. Leftists have admitted in this election cycle that they desire to end oil and natural gas. They are the ones continuously blocking any and all efforts of America increasing its fossil fuel exploration, production, refining, consumption, and even export. I am sure you all remember the leftist assault against the Keystone XL pipeline. Now, do you really think that the Marxist energy agenda will bring down gas prices?

And all the leftist blather about high prices… where were their voices during the Biden administration when inflation topped 9.1%?

The leftist plan for America’s economic security: more government spending in order to chain more Americans to government largesse, at the expense of our free market economic system. Marxists hate American innovation and ingenuity because it is reflective of individual liberty. Funny, leftists used to be all in against millionaires, until Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar became millionaires. Now they hate billionaires, but only the ones who are not Marxists and Islamists.

So, in my closing argument, I think it is evident that the Marxist left truly has no grounds to speak on when it comes to our economic and energy security, as well as the issue of healthcare and affordability. I think it is simple to surmise that Obamacare was intended to fail. How duplicitous that Marxists say they hate insurance companies, yet they shut down the government for them to get taxpayer-funded subsidies.

Perhaps we have forgotten what the border looked like during the Biden administration. Do we really want to go back to that? The Marxists have declared their desire for open borders, and no, this is not just a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) objective. Now, if you are upset with ICE, well, you should really be upset with the leftists who are providing “sanctuary” for those here illegally and undermining law enforcement, precluding them from protecting our streets, to the detriment of American citizens. Shall I remind you of the names Sheridan Gorman, Rachel Morin, and Laken Riley? Leftists prefer criminal illegal immigrants like the “Maryland Man” or the New Yorker who has been here illegally, is a member of a criminal gang, and was convicted of armed robbery.

Yes, I know that the war against the number-one sponsor of Islamic terrorism, Iran, the one that has killed and maimed thousands of Americans, is not popular. But consider who the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) prefers to win the midterm elections? Don’t know? Just read their 26-page endorsement of the Marxist left in America. And should we really entrust our national security congressional oversight to an ideology that is allied with Islamic jihadists?

We can certainly have a debate about the social issues, but I tend not to care for those who would dismember a baby in the womb right up until birth. That is called infanticide. Or the same people who would criminally punish parents who would not allow THEIR children to have their bodies mutilated because they do not agree with the mental condition of gender dysphoria.

No, Republicans did not deliver on the SAVE America Act, something that had an 81% approval by the American people. They stumble about the ideological battlefield. And some of them make some very questionable political ads, but the case against Marxist control of America has to be understood. With all of their faults, failures, and shortcomings, at least Republicans know what a woman is and do not want biological males in bathroom facilities with REAL women.

Heroic Teacher Who Tackled & Wrestled Oregon School Shooter Speaks Out

Earlier this month, a horrific tragedy took place in Bend, OR when 16-year-old gunman Griffin John II targeted a special needs classroom at Silver Rail Elementary School.

The shooter killed four people, as well as wounding other victims, before he was fatally shot by a father who bravely charged into the school to confront him.

We’ve already heard from Kaylub Giamanco, the father who took out the school shooter:

But, there was another hero that day.

After the gunman opened fire, a teacher bravely threw her phone at him before tackling him to the ground.

When Giamanco arrived on the scene, this courageous teacher was trying to wrestle the gun away from the shooter.

On Friday, this heroic teacher, whose name is Cassidy Schutz, spoke out for the first time.

Take a look:

An Oregon teacher who threw her cellphone at a teenage gunman and wrestled him for control of his shotgun has spoken publicly for the first time.

Cassidy Schutz, a learning specialist at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, released a statement more than two weeks after the Oct. 15 shooting that killed three children and a fellow teacher.

"This is not a story. This is a horrific and heartbreaking tragedy, and it is our real lives," Schutz said. "It all happened so fast, and I wish with everything in me that we had more time. The pain of this loss I will carry with me forever."

KATU 2 ABC shared Schutz' full message:

“There are no words to describe the depth of sadness I am feeling following the events of October 15th. This is not a story. This is a horrific and heartbreaking tragedy, and it is our real lives. My thoughts are with those who were lost, their families, those who were hurt, and those who were there that day. My heart is with you. It all happened so fast, and I wish with everything in me that we had more time. The pain of this loss I will carry with me forever. There are no words for this unimaginable reality we are facing. My focus is on these families, our team, our school, and my own healing. As I continue to navigate this, I ask that you please give me the time, space, and privacy I need to heal. I will not be making any additional public statements at this time.”

Previously, Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz credited Schutz with helping take down the shooter.

Her actions, along with Kaylub Giamanco's, that day saved countless lives.

God Bless them both!

Nat'l Media Ignores Trans Teacher Convicted in Would-Be Cannibal Murder Plot Against School Kids

In early October, a would-be transgender cannibal and former substitute teacher was convicted of threatening to kill a bunch of people, including kids.

Yet for some strange, odd reason, the entire national establishment media — save for reliable ol’ Fox News — completely ignored the otherwise bombshell story.

CNN didn’t cover it. Nor did The New York Times. Nor did ABC News, CBS News, PBS News, MS NOW, or NPR. The list goes on and on.

The only ones who covered the lunatic’s conviction were, aside from local media outlets, conservative influencers on social media like Libs of TikTok.

So what gives?

First, let’s backtrack a little and talk about what exactly happened.

Meet Hadyn James Dollery, a 19-year-old former substitute teacher at Eagle Ridge Middle School in Ashburn, Virginia. It’s part of the Loudoun County Public Schools system, which, as previously reported, has a bad track record of dealing with these sorts of matters.

According to Loudoun Now, Dollery purports to be a “transgender woman” named Sophie who goes by the alias “Cotton Candy” on the social media platform Discord.

After the boyfriend of this so-called “transgender woman” broke up with him in April, he responded with extremely foul messages shared via Discord.

Loudoun Now reported that Dollery wrote that “he planned to kill the ex, members of his own and of his ex’s family, go on a ‘murder spree at your school,’ and to cannibalize one of the victims after killing them.”

“Your school” reportedly referred to John Champe High School, which is near Eagle Ridge Middle School.

By the way, notice how, to their credit, Loudoun Now referred to Dollery as “he.”

Dollery also later messaged his ex-boyfriend demanding the ex return a shirt of his “if I’m deemed fit to work after this s*** I’m about to do.”

After receiving the texts, the ex reported them to the police and Eagle Ridge Middle School officials, according to Loudoun Now.

Dollery was subsequently found with a box cutter in his backpack. The police also found Google searches on his phone about “blood.”

During the trial, Dollery’s attorney tried to argue that the whole debacle was nothing more than a “teenage love triangle” and that prosecutors were taking his otherwise clear-cut messages out of context.

The attorney, Mary Swanson, added that her client had never been through a breakup before and was simply “hurt… and desperate for attention.”

According to Loudoun Now, Swanson also argued that Dollery “had no history of violence” and “had never been in trouble” prior to his arrest.

Lastly, the attorney called the whole case “teenage drama” that she ludicrously claimed had been “blown out of proportion.”

While I’m sure the disgustingly left-wing mainstream media would agree, which might explain their decision to completely ignore the story, I for one do not concur with Swanson’s suggestions.

Yes, Dollery is very young, and yes, Dollery is clearly mentally ill — regardless of what the discredited World Health Organization has to say about it. But that doesn’t excuse his threatening to kill and cannibalize children.

Evidently, however, the national media disagrees.

I wonder if they’d feel similarly if a white supremacist substitute teacher had threatened to kill and cannibalize children. The reaction would probably be different.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a fair, objective, and impartial mainstream media in this country. We instead have a media conglomerate whose interests and agenda align perfectly with those of the Democratic Party.

And it just so happens that the Democratic Party and its media allies have a vested interest in downplaying crimes committed by transgender lunatics.

But it’s not just the national media that’s corrupted. According to Just the News, several local outlets in Virginia have falsely referred to Dollery as a “she.”

That is no coincidence. It’s all part of the left’s narrative.

The Military Is Equipping Snipers with a Rifle Discarded 85 Years Ago: Apparently They Don't Make Them Like They Used to


The Department of War (DOW) is equipping snipers with a rifle using a technology it discarded for front-line troops over 85 years ago.

The Barrett MRAD rifle was selected by DOW to serve as the Mk 22 Precision Sniper Rifle, with the Army paying the Tennessee gun manufacturer $49.9 million for 2,800 rifles, while the Marine Corps is acquiring another 250, according to Solider of Fortune.

The Mk 22 comes in three calibers: 7.62x51mm NATO, .300 Norma Magnum and .338 Norma Magnum and has a ten-round detachable magazine and uses a bolt-action system, which at first glance seems obsolete, but one former sniper told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the older system was still useful.

“Bolt action rifles are more consistent, more reliable, more durable, easier to maintain in the field,” attorney Ryan Cleckner, a former sniper with the United States Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment, told the DCNF.

“Secondary, kind of like, I’m not a NASCAR fan, I don’t know if you are, but NASCAR, they still use manual transmissions, they still shift with the clutch when we have great automatic transmissions in cars now. Why? Well, because an automatic transmission is too complicated, too finicky, and doesn’t allow the amount of control and robustness that the manual transmission needs. That’s a fair analogy to bolt action rifles.”

“When it comes to a rifle extracting a spent case, especially when it gets dirty or it is not perfect lubrication around in battlefield conditions, I, as a sniper grabbing the bolt handle, can easily rip the cartridge case out with my arm and push the next one in” Cleckner continued. “But if you’re relying on gas systems and things like that to work, they don’t always work. And then now you have a malfunction and your gun’s not even working, which is much, much slower than a bolt.”

The United States ditched bolt-action rifles for regular infantrymen in the months prior to World War II, replacing the M1903 Springfield with the M1 Garand to give troops additional firepower. Since then, regular infantrymen have used the M14, M16, and M7 rifles alongside the M4 and M8 carbines.

“The Army has fielded both gas and bolt operated sniper systems in multiple calibers. Each system meets distinct Warfighter requirements across a range of operational environments,” a U.S. Army spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“The Mk 22 Precision Sniper Rifle (PSR) reflects a balanced, capability-based requirement that prioritizes deliberate precision, first-round hit probability, modularity, and mission adaptability.”

Snipers, though, mostly have used bolt-action rifles, like the M40 and M24/M2010 systems, but semiautomatic sniper rifles have been used by the United States military in the past.

The M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System, based on the Knight Armament Company’s SR-25, was introduced in 2008, according to GlobalMilitary.com and can fire either 7.62x51mm NATO or 6.5mm Creedmoor rounds, with a 20-shot magazine.

The M21 rifle was adopted by the United States Army during the Vietnam War, and was the weapon used by the top American sniper of the war, Army Staff Sgt. Adelbert Waldron, who had 109 confirmed kills.

The .338 Lapua has been used for some of the longest sniper engagements in history, including a shot of just over 2,700 yards by Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison of the British Army’s Household Cavalry. It was primarily used with the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum bolt-action rifle during the Global War on Terror.

Two companies, Rock River Arms and Noreen, have offered AR-15 platform rifles chambered for the .338 Lapua Magnum for sale on their websites. Both rifles are semi-automatic and have ten-round detachable magazines, but Cleckner said that the companies may not have been able to meet the DOW’s production standards, even though Rock River has secured contracts to produce firearms for the FBI and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

“Those rifles are neat, but even some of these other contracts that come up by these smaller companies that will build field two to five really nice working samples for the military to decide that they like,” Cleckner told the DCNF.

“In my experience with government contracting, I’ve had experience as the sniper in the military and I’m an attorney for gun companies for government contracting. So I help them help companies field these and get them through the selection process. The military invariably finds out that rifle number 1000 not only is that the same as rifle number one in standards, they often have different parts. They’ll just start using different springs at rifle number 400 because they ran out of the first springs or because their supply system isn’t robust enough.”

Barrett also made a popular sniper rifle used for some of the world’s longest shots, the M82/M107 rifle, a semi-automatic system which fires the .50 BMG round and has a ten-round magazine.

Barrett, Noreen and Rock River Arms did not respond to requests for comment from the DCNF.
