Here is some of what we learned in November.
First, Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota's 5th District has drawn six opponents. One is democrat, John Mason. The other five are republicans, Lacy Johnson, Lucia Vogel, Alley Waterberry, Brent Whaley, and Danielle Stella. Of those six only one, Stella, has drawn any sort of national attention, although not for the best reasons.
The candidate was last seen being kicked off Twitter permanently for violating the site's regulations. She had tweeted an unproven charge against Omar which had to do with the Congresswoman passing along, "sensitive," information to Iran. According to Ms. Stella, Omar should be put on trial and if convicted, hanged. Twitter gave her the boot for, "repeatedly," violating their rules of conduct.
While having no idea what other tweets posted by the avid Trump supporter might have caught Twitter's all seeing eye, I can testify you can get on wrong side of that bad boy in a hurry. I drew a 12 hour suspension for tweeting, "Rudy, meet the bus. Bus you may now run over Rudy," in reference to the president's personal lawyer and his impending fate in the Ukrainian affair.
Of course Ms. Stella couldn't leave this affront to her free speech go unchallenged. She immediately went on Facebook with a lengthy post which in small part read, "I believe all traitors to our Country need to be tried for their many crimes. I've been outspoken about the HRC crime family, BHO (Obama), (George) Soros, and others as well."
What she didn't mention in the post is she has been busted twice this year for shoplifting. Once at a grocery and then at a Target store where she is accused of ripping off more than $2,300 worth of goods. While maintaining her innocence, The Guardian reports after her arrest at the Target she told local authorities she remembers going into the place, but nothing afterward. She blamed the black out on PTSD and told them she usually doesn't go shopping alone because of her anxiety around people.
Her day job is working as a Special Education teacher.
Second, Congressman Devin Nunes' main defense of Donald Trump--besides the whole witch hunt thing--seems to be accusing the democrats of seeking to secure nude photos of then candidate Trump from Russian pranksters posing as Ukrainians back in 2016. How this dubious act, if it actually happened, has anything to do with Trump's strong-arming the Ukrainian leadership in a weapons, but only if you give us dirt on Biden deal has mystified many.
Obviously we must remember Nunes is the same guy who sued Twitter and anonymous users over accounts named, "Devin Nunes' Cow and Devin Nunes' Mom." According to the Sacramento Bee, Nunes has filed five separate law suits this year against news media outlets, Twitter, democratic activists, and a political research company known as, Fusion GPS.
In other words if you say anything bad about the Congressman, or make him the butt of satirical posts on social media he's going to sue your ass. On the other hand, the oh so touchy, Mr. Nunes has described environmental lobbyists as, "followers of neo Marxist, socialist, Maoist, or communist ideals."
Finally, on a local note, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has named, or rather renamed a guy named Kyle Savage as a person of interest in the murder of Carina Saunders. According to the OSBI they are securing warrants to search Savage's phone records and Facebook posts from 2011 and early 2012.
According to reports at the time the Saunders' family didn't report her missing until a relative received a disturbing text from an unnamed person. Now, the OSBI is saying the text was sent by Savage to Carina Saunders' sister, Sara. It read, "I'll bury you next to Carina."
Disturbing indeed, although in all honesty, if they couldn't nail Mr. Savage for the crime back then it is tough to imagine them doing it over eight years later. The Facebook records might be one thing, but name someone, anyone, you know who is running around with a phone that old. Especially one which could implicate you in a heinous crime.
Yes it has been an eventful month, one which in some quarters would rather be forgotten. We won't though, unless we happen to be Danielle Stella trapped alone in a crowded department store. If that's the case then all bets are off.
