[Townhall] What is going on in New Jersey? Hunting season has begun in the Garden State, but deer, bear, and other game species are not in season: it’s Republican politicians. Leah covered how Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour, 30, was shot and killed in Sayreville on February 2. Now, another council member, Russell Heller, 51, was shot and killed in the PSE&G parking lot around 7 AM. Heller was seated on the Milford township council.
The culprit was Gary Curtis, a former employee, who was later found in a parking lot in Bridgewater Township with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He departed this vale of tears (via NBC News):
Authorities quickly determined that a former employee of PSE&G, identified as Gary T. Curtis, 58, of Washington, had approached Heller in the parking lot and shot him outside his vehicle, the prosecutor's office said.
Detectives were able to track Curtis down hours later to a parking lot area in Bridgewater Township, where they found him with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, it said. Curtis, who was in possession of a firearm at the time, was pronounced dead shortly after.
Detectives are still working to establish a motive in the incident, the prosecutor's office said.
Heller's death comes a week after Eunice Dwumfour, a fellow Republican who had represented Sayreville, was found fatally shot in her vehicle near her home. Police have yet to identify a potential suspect or motive in her death.
Sayreville is around 55 miles east of Milford.
As reported, we don’t know a motive, but the timing is unnerving, given the political climate. Elected Republicans being picked off in New Jersey appears to be an emerging narrative, but let’s hold off for now. Either way, don’t expect much media coverage for obvious reasons. We all know how the press would’ve reacted if Mr. Heller and Ms. Dwumfour were elected Democrats.
[Pro-Life Update] After Massachusetts Democratic Senator Sen. Ed Markey was heavily criticized after wearing a pin saying "Abortion" with a heart shape in the middle. Many found the pin disgusting or depraved, as it seemed to be celebrating a practice that takes the lives of millions of unborn children each year around the world each year, including between 600,000 to 1,000,000 unborn lives on average yearly in the U.S. alone.
Moloch, also spelled Molech, a Canaanite deity associated in biblical sources with the practice of child sacrifice. The name derives from combining the consonants of the Hebrew melech (“king”) with the vowels of boshet (“shame”), the latter often being used in the Old Testament as a variant name for the popular god Baal (“Lord”). - Britannica

To the Chinaman let us give thanks,
And our monstruous regiment's skanks,
For these babies and bugs,
Genes and soybeans and drugs
In the Dean's multifarious franks.
I think the worst lies ahead if there is war, and enormous masses of hip old ideologues ask the dwindling young to die for a country and culture they've taught them to hate. Then the sheer absurdity of everything will be laid bare.

I don't think marching them north into Canada in the middle of winter is 'welcomed'.

I was in an Indiana parish that received an Associate Pastor from Uganda. His first winter was tough for him.

There was an old takeoff of the Jeff Foxworthy "You might be a..." bit that went around Pittsburgh when I lived there:
"You might be from Pittsburgh if you go around in February in a pair of shorts and a parka."

They don't call it Norte America for nothing. What did they expect? Palm trees and sandy beaches?

Lots of people do not know, if you tried to sleep outside at 70 F without any kind of blanket, you might very well get hypothermia.

True story: I once upon a time worked with a Vietnamese helicopter pilot brought here after the war.
Le said "I was asked where I wanted to go. I'm just a dumb kid from Vietnam, what have I ever heard of? Hollywood! Guy tells me we got three Hollywoods, California, Florida, and Minnesota. I picked 'the last one'. Whoo boy, I didn't know there was that much snow in the whole world!"
