The Truth About Patrick Lyoya's Criminal Past - Michigan Enjoyer

The Grand Rapids man now being held up as a victim of police brutality was a car thief who was arrested for assaulting his pregnant girlfriend - Tom Gantert 

It’s unlikely many people know the following facts about Patrick Lyoya, the man who was shot in the back of the head by Grand Rapids Police Officer Christopher Schurr on April 4, 2022. 

Schurr’s murder trial is happening this week.

• Lyoya’s blood alcohol level the night he was killed was .29, well above the legal limit of .08. 
• It wasn’t the first time Lyoya was drunk driving. It wasn’t even the first time police caught him. In 2015, 2018, and 2021, Lyoya was charged with DWI offenses.
• But according to media reports, Lyoya wasn’t pulled over for DWI that night. This time, the license plates didn’t match the car he was driving...Lyoya had been arrested and pled guilty for different traffic and vehicle-related charges previously. 
• One of the times he pled out in a deal to “misdemeanor possession of a master key.” That means Lyoya likely had a key that had been filed down, making it a “master key,” because in some instances, filed down keys work on numerous cars of the same make—such as Hondas or Saturns. Police call them “shaved keys,” and they are the tools of a car thief.
• The license plate could have been changed because Lyoya didn’t want police to know it was him driving. He already had a warrant out for his arrest. On April 4, 2017, he was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence, knowingly assaulting a pregnant individual—his girlfriend. He pled guilty.
• Lyoya was on probation when he was pulled over by Schurr and had been arrested eight times since 2015, according to Michigan State Police records...

Reports revealed that Biden's State Department created dossiers with the full intention of spying on the content and censoring Americans' free speech rights.

'Chilling': Trump officials kill Biden's persecution of ranching family * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Chilling': Trump officials kill Biden's persecution of ranching family * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

The administration of President Donald Trump has killed a Joe Biden plan that involved persecuting a multi-generation South Dakota ranching family with huge legal fees and even threats of jail. "No family farmer or rancher should have to go through what the Maude family did," explained Buck Wehrbein, a Nebraska cattleman and president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. "The targeted prosecution of the Maude family was way out of line for the U.S. Forest Service, and this was a clear example of government overreach that had direct, catastrophic impacts for a hardworking fifth-generation ranching family."

92% of media report negative information about Trump's presidency. Yesterday I was watching one of the local channels and it was reported that the market went into a free fall yesterday because of his actions when it actually gained. This is one reason I didn't want him to win because I knew they would do all this stuff. But that is the only reason. I'm glad he won and excited about America's future for a change.

The clown!

 

Secretary Rubio drops hammer on reporter asking about El Salvador and Abrego Garcia | Blaze Media

Secretary Rubio drops hammer on reporter asking about El Salvador and Abrego Garcia | Blaze Media: 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio made it clear he does not believe the judicial branch of the federal government is in control of a president's foreign policy when he was asked about Kilmar Abrego Garcia during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday. "Have you been in touch with El Salvador about returning Abrego Garcia?" the reporter asked. "Well, I would never tell you that. And you know who else I'll never tell? A judge. Because the conduct of our foreign policy belongs to the president of the United States and the executive branch, not some judge," Rubio replied.

Federal ‘Job Corps’ Spends Up To $764K Per Graduate. Participants Go On To Earn $17K Annually.

A Labor Department program designed to train 16- to 24-year-olds to join the workforce spends more per person annually than Ivy League colleges, but participants wind up making minimum wage on average — raising questions about whether it should continue to exist.

The Job Corps pays teenage runaways, high school dropouts, and twentysomething ex-cons to live in dormitories and receive their GEDs and vocational training. 

The national cost per graduate was $188,000, with the average graduate staying 13.5 months. 

Of more than 110 campuses, the 10 least efficient averaged a cost of $385,000 per graduate. 

• Job Corps participants earn $16,695 per year on average after leaving the program, according to new government data.
• Nearly $2 billion in federal taxpayer money is spent annually on residential Job Corps campuses...
