Explosives from the Odessa Halliburton yard have been reported missing, according to Odessa Police.

The OPD Bomb Squad Unit was made aware of the undetermined amount of missing explosives earlier today. According to police, the explosives were supposed to be transported from Odessa to the Halliburton location in Reeves County.

The explosives are described to be oilfield igniters that are approximately 2 inches in length and half an inch in diameter. These explosives have no printing on them to indicate if they are hazardous or not.

The Court of Tortured Language

Via WRSA

It's amusing to see what sort of torture the USSC goes through in an attempt to "find consensus."

1. Absent reasonable suspicion, police extension of a traffic stop in order to conduct a dog sniff violates the Constitution’s shield against unreasonable seizures. A routine traffic stop is more like a brief stop under Terry v. Ohio, 392 U. S. 1, than an arrest, see, e.g., Arizona v. Johnson, 555 U. S. 323, 330. Its tolerable duration is determined by the seizure’s “mission,” which is to address the traffic violation that warranted the stop, Illinois v. Caballes, 543 U. S. 405, 407 and attend to related safety concerns. Authority for the seizure ends when tasks tied to the traffic infraction are—or reasonably should have been— completed. The Fourth Amendment may tolerate certain unrelated investigations that do not lengthen the roadside detention, Johnson, 555 U. S., at 327–328 (questioning); Caballes, 543 U. S., at 406, 408 (dog sniff), but a traffic stop “become[s] unlawful if it is prolonged beyond the time reasonably required to complete th[e] mission” of issuing a warning ticket, id., at 407. 

Beyond determining whether to issue a traffic ticket, an officer’s mission during a traffic stop typically includes checking the driver’s license, determining whether there are outstanding warrants against the driver, and inspecting the automobile’s registration and proof of insurance. These checks serve the same objective as enforcement of the traffic code: ensuring that vehicles on the road are operated safely and responsibly. See Delaware v. Prouse, 440 U. S. 648, 658–659. Lacking the same close connection to roadway safety as the ordinary inquiries, a dog sniff is not fairly characterized as part of the officer’s traffic mission.

Huffington Post Endorses a New, Racist Jim Crow Rule

Via Joe

A black writer for Huffington Post Canada who calls herself a “journalist” is calling for segregation and a new rule of Jim Crow, but in reverse. She says that blacks and other minorities should be allowed to exclude white people from the things they do–but that whites can’t have racism perpetrated against them so they shouldn’t be allowed to be just as exclusive.

Aeman Ansari, a fourth-year journalism student at Ryerson University, reported on an incident at her school where two white students were refused entry into a meeting because they were white. Ansari noted that she thought it was right and good that white people should be discriminated against because they are white.

Essentially, Ansari is endorsing a new Jim Crow regime where blacks are allowed to create segregated events but whites aren’t.

Confederate Memorial Day in the South

Via LH

 The Virginia Flaggers

Tennessee Senator Edward Ward Carmack said it best in 1903:

“The Confederate Soldiers were our kinfolk and our heroes. We testify to the country our enduring fidelity to their memory. We commemorate their valor and devotion. There were some things that were not surrendered at Appomattox.

We did not surrender our rights and history; nor was it one of the conditions of surrender that unfriendly lips should be suffered to tell the story of that war or that unfriendly hands should write the epitaphs of the Confederate dead. We have the right to teach our children the true history of the war, the causes that led up to it and the principles involved.”

Deranged Austin Police Chief Claims Texas Gun Law Will Lead To “Open Season” By Criminals

Like most big-city police chiefs, Austin, Police Chief Art Acevedo is reliably anti-gun.

He’s also not terribly bright, a fact he proves as he attempts to link new open carry legislation in Texas to narco-terrorism, biker gangs, and “extremists” in a hyperbolic and fact-free rant.

In Order to Form a More Perfect Union

 

I have been giving our government a lot of thought and could write a book on the subject. A long, boring book, that no one would read, not even an editor. So, instead I will put my ideas for improving the government here:

1. Abolish the Senate. We don’t need it. It is a redundant House. It is based on a system of lords and commons and we have neither in this country. Roll it’s legitimate duties into the House and call it “the Assembly”.

Alabama's Confederate History Month 'an embarrassing abomination,' says former White House advisor

Via Billy "What`s embarrassing is society letting liberal, politically correct damned-yankees and scalawags getting away with defining what is right or wrong for the majority of the population."

 

 Kiss my ruddy, red rectum and go back whence you came.

Seven states - including Alabama – have designated April as Confederate History Month. And that, at least according to Jeff Schweitzer, a scientist and former White House senior policy analyst, is an "embarrassing abomination" that should end.

Writing for Huffington Post, Schweitzer, a Ph.D. in marine biology/neurophysiology, said the designation of April as a month to remember the Confederacy is a "misguided paean to a troubling past."

"Southerners today seem incapable of understanding that the South started and then lost a war that nearly destroyed the United States. The South lost decisively. The rebel cause was unjust, immoral and treasonous. The economic justification was unseemly; the actions were treasonous. There is no part of the Confederate cause of which to be proud.

There is no moral high ground here," he wrote.
