Denver-area schools are closed on Wednesday as authorities have launched a manhunt for a woman they say is dangerous and has made “credible threats” days before the 20th anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting.

Police are searching for 18-year-old Sol Pais who allegedly traveled from Miami to Colorado because she is “infatuated” with the school shooting, USA Today reported.

“This has become a massive manhunt,” said Dean Phillips, head of the Denver office of the FBI, during a Tuesday news conference.

Authorities described her as “armed” and “extremely dangerous” and said she flew from Florida on Monday night.

Massive Colorado Manhunt Over, Sol Pais Is Dead

She gone.
Umm..the article said she got taken into custody but the bolded part you highlight says she is dead.
A woman who was hiking in the area in the morning told CBS4 she was told to leave the area because “a naked woman matching the description with a gun was spotted in the area running through the woods.”

So this whole shipping detainees to sanctuary cities thing:
A) Democrats can say it's petty, and spiteful, but they can't be against it because they endlessly vouch for the well-being and goodness of the detainees. They can however demand increased funding to take care of the detainees, as they're now doing a portion of Homeland Security's job. Which in effect means Trump has to give them extra money after threatening them with pulling federal funds.
B) Trump's Administration is in a bad position, because he keeps saying there are rapists, thieves, ISIS members, etc in these groups. And he's now purposefully relocating them into areas that will make it harder to root them out and protect the country (if he's correct about the type of people coming). So the Law & Order President is actually making the country less safe just so he can be petty.
to go along with B, he's also putting a free ad out there for more to come in and get a free trip to Chicago or wherever
This is the sheer absurdity of the suggestion. He's talking about releasing people he's been claiming are dyed-in-the-wool murders and thugs with no way to guarantee they stay within the bounds of said sanctuary cities.

Even if he is just saying this for the sake of saying, it makes absolutely zero sense if you put more than a nanosecond of thought into it. It's not even clever enough to be petty.... which I guess makes sense if it's coming from Stephen Miller.

He calls these people rapists, murderers, and gang members. If he's talking about sending them to sanctuary cities, doesn't this already disqualify his failed national emergency take because he's ostensibly allowing them on US soil, and helping place them?

Is the national emergency still a thing?

I don't care if he sends them all here. That's kind of the point, only a complete numpty would think something like this would be perceived as.a punishment or retribution.

What you can't see won't hurt you:

A group of doctors has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture, pushing for new rules to prohibit the sale of raw poultry, pork and beef that contain traces of animal waste — something that is currently allowed under law.

USDA says it has a “zero tolerance” policy for fecal contamination in poultry and meat-processing plants, but this applies only if the fecal contamination is visible.

USDA rolling back regulations on meat production is a good indication that it's time to go vegetarian.

“Car 2 Go” app “hacked” in Chicago. As many as 100 Mercedes / high-end cars missing / stolen. Many being used to commit crimes. > 12 people in custody so far. Per sources. Developing.

What you can't see won't hurt you:
From that article:
“Visible fecal contamination is considered a food safety defect that can be removed by trimming” off the area of contamination and by cleaning the area with antibacterial chemicals.
Basically they're saying, "**** on your meat is no big deal as long as we cut it off and rinse it." :shock:

But (IIRC) they're also rolling back other food safety regulations when it comes to vegetables as well. Basically, we'll see more salmonella outbreaks from lettuce to go along with the meat.

Thank god he didn't have a foundation that had to dissolve, that would truly be a major story.

Read: I care zero percent about how much a person donates to charity.

Also, that's two for two now I've seen GOPs using this opportunity to snipe at tax returns, once for Bernie, and once for Beto (I know this was CNN, but Twitter GOP folk have made comments).

So i'm guessing most of their money comes from his wife. So, tough to fault Beto for not being charitable with his wife's money.

I'm surprised how many people keep track of their charitable donations for the write off. I don't give to a ton of charities outside of the local animal shelter and The Innocence Project. I prefer to give to individuals in need as it's easier to know where the money is actually going. But I've never even written off the donations I'd be eligible to claim. I suppose it's different though when you're talking about tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars version a couple grand, but I think I'd still feel weird doing it.

You don't even know what a write off is.
