A touch of evil
A horrendous crime was committed in Houston Texas. The crime was committed by two thugs who had no business being in the US other than the radical left wanted them here. Texas is one of my favorite states for many reasons. One of those reasons is that Texas has a death penalty, and they use it. The prosecutor in this case is not some Soros backed social warrior. She believes in the rule of law and wants justice. Since this will be a capital punishment case, it will take time because the prosecution will want every T crossed.
Here are the facts of the case:
- The illegal Venezuelan migrants accused of murdering Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston lured the 12-year-old girl under a bridge, where they stripped her naked to the waist and assaulted her for two hours, disturbing new court documents allege .
- Both Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel and Franklin Jose Peña Ramos were seen on surveillance video entering a 7-Eleven with Jocelyn the night she was killed and before the two walked her to a bridge, where her body was later found half-naked and strangled.
- Peña, 26, and Martinez-Rangel, 21, allegedly bound Jocelyn’s hands behind her back during the brutal assault, then strangled her and dumped her body in a bayou.
- Department of Homeland Security sources said Peña crossed into El Paso, Texas, on May 28 . He was released soon after his interaction with border agents.
- Jocelyn fought back against her attackers after she was lured under the bridge and assaulted — leaving scratch and bite marks on one of the illegal migrants who is accused of killing her.
- Peña was given an ankle monitor when he was released into the US after being caught at the border in May, according to Homeland Security sources. He reportedly cut off the monitor after Jocelyn’s body was found .
Republicans slammed the White House for its “pathetic” and “shameful” statements on the killings of Jocelyn and Maryland mother of five Rachel Morin — which never mentioned they were murdered by illegal immigrants

The judge, being an honest judge, set Peña’s bond at $10 million Monday, which was double what prosecutors requested and 10 times the sum sought by the defense.
The most vulnerable among us
“She was amazing, I still see her face in the back of my head every day, all day. I keep getting little signs about her throughout the days and it’s been a very, very hard time for me and my family,” Jocelyn’s mother, Alexis Nungaray, said Monday.
Still voting for Joe Biden?

Good morning.
A change of command ceremony was held aboard the USS Constitution in Boston.
Currently it is 80 degrees in Boston.
I have fond memories of Boston - touring on board the USS Constitution, watching a Red Sox game at Fenway Park and I recall something that impressed me back then and it is something that my wife is doing here successfully now as well, and that is I recall a wide boulevard that was devoted to a lot of individual mini-gardens that were farmed by local citizens. Delicious fresh-picked corn on the cob for lunch today, buttered and salted., Yum.
The Boston Public Gardens. They have been upgraded since then.
What do you mean by "upgraded"? Are there no longer individual little "private" gardens"?
Still private, but with a nicer apron.
Good. I consider it a wonderful concept and wish it would be copied in a lot more places.
So lets hear from our left leaning friends how all these illegals are "asylum seekers trying to make a better life for themselves".
I doubt we will hear a word from them.
What's we'll hear and see are deflections to complete bullshit.
Looking for a defense of those two animals will be very difficult, but then again, we have at least a few who would make any law school proud.
That doesn't mean that they won't try.
I'll be ready
How embarrassing to be dressed like that.
Is that some ambulance chasing shyster?
Troy Nehls of stolen valor fame? Too funny ....
As soon as I typed in that name - the first thing that popped up was 'under ethics investigation'
Shocker!
The republicons/CONservatives sure love their criminals, including #34.
If only we would check everything.
Like with Nehls?
In their defense, all the women in their country have escaped to here, so now they have to come here to find someone to rape.
Isn't that similar to what Anita told her fellow Puerto Ricans in "West Side Story?"
It is now official: Biden campaign spokesman Adrienne Elrod says Joe Biden won't commit to taking a drug test before the debate.
Biden campaign declines call for drug test before debate (msn.com)
They may be prepping Joe in an empty airplane hangar, so he won't bump into anything before the debate.
A full week to prep for a 90-minute debate.
Sounds like you were never on a debate team.
Have you?
A debate team isn't running the country that supposedly is the head of the table for the free world.
No one is comforted by the thought of Harris covering for Biden while he is practicing being a functional human being until 10:30 at night.
And as a counter point....statistics.
In 2018, the illegal immigrant criminal conviction rate was 782 per 100,000 illegal immigrants, 535 per 100,000 legal immigrants, and 1,422 per 100,000 native‐born Americans.
Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find
That is the progressive talking point.
How do you compare the crimes of citizens to those of people who should not be here?
Yes you are correct, facts are a progressive's talking point.
Comparing apples and oranges does not equate to facts.
Try again.
Fact, apples exist.
Fact, oranges exist.
Fact, they are both fruit.
Find a better example.
Not even Clarence Darrow could sell illegal migrants' crime as being unpreventable.
Those crimes should never have happened.
The open border Biden cheerleaders will never admit to THAT!
They are having a tough time. I would feel better about them if they would simply condemn this horrific crime.
I guess the only way to truly support Biden's open borders is to ignore alien crimes.
What a bizarre claim... Is ANY crime unpreventable?
Considering the way Democrats think about gun laws, obviously they think so.
Not with Democrats loving their criminals the way they do.
Unless it is a known conservative- that is a crime punishable to the fullest extent of any charges they can create from thin air.
Illegal immigrants are criminals from the second they enter the country- which is why they are near and dear to Democrat/leftists' hearts.
" Is ANY crime unpreventable?"
If they were not allowed here the crime would not have happened
the infallible logic in that must be befuddling some folks.
Virtually ALL are preventable.
How? How do you prevent something as simple as speeding?
You really need an explanation to that? You don't know how speed bumps are or work?
So you are proposing, at a cost of trillions of dollars, a speed bump be installed every 10 - 20 feet on every road in the country? No wonder right wingers think a 10' fence would stop illegal border crossings.....
It's better spent doing that rather than sending it to Ukraine.
Works better than the open border policies of the moonbat leftists.
You need to read up before making comments, especially off topic ones. Most Ukrainian money is being spent here in the US.
Name the changes Biden made to border policies.
It is also too bad that those immigrants invented ladders...
You mean besides stopping all work to secure the border?
How was the border going to be secured again?
At least the wall would have been a deterrent and slowed it down rather than just leaving it wide ass open.
Obviously without the help of the traitorous piece of shit democrats in Congress.
A border wall would slow crossings to a trickle.
oh, gosh, wouldn't that make it harder for aliens to come here illegally?
It would but that doesn’t seem to be something the liberal lefties want.
So not secured. Spend billions of dollars to slow people down temporarily. $50 sawzalls from Home Depot are carving up the fence. But you feel the money would be well spent??????
You're again avoiding the question. How do you secure a 2000 mile border?
Slowing down would be a vast improvement for Biden.
What the fuck do crime rates have to do with this story about two aliens committing a horrible crime?
No kidding, after all they are only being used to paint all other aliens with the same brush.
or cited here to deflect from Biden's obvious failures regarding the border.
yeah, that's the ticket!
It's additive though, immigrants and migrants aren't replacing native born so as there numbers rise, the total crime rate rises regardless of their indivigual rates.
Does it seem as ignorant to you as it does to me to cite crime stats for illegal aliens?
Yes, and a lower individual number isn't surprising as they risk more than incarceration, they also risk deportation. Bottom line: alien crime increase US crime.
I wonder if being in the country illegally is considered part of those crime stats being bandied about?
You offer deflection. And a shitty one at that.
It is doubtful that Biden can stand and stay on message for 90 minutes straight.
Jacked up Joe will be good for 90 minutes.
Right now, they have him working on being able to stand for 90 minutes.
Jacked up on what?
What is #34 taking, pcp? Or maybe meth mixed with pcp sounds more like it
Whatever it was that Joe was on during the State of the Union.
If he's like me, cod-liver oil ... remarkable stuff that fuels synapses.
Maybe we should all take it.
Do you parrot everything trump says? LOL
Given he's been dead since 1969 I don't think he's taking anything.
Why do these people never portray #34 accurately? As he is - a big fat sweaty pig in an ill-fitting suit?
He doesn't look so bad to me.
Thank 'god' for propagandists like Branco who truthfully draw Trump as a healthy 50 year old ... the commie lefty press tries to tell us he's 78.
Hopefully we'll all be that healthy at 78.
I don't know about 'we' but then I'm far more concerned with the health of my soul ... "man does not live by bread alone" and all that sort of stuff.
'That' healthy?
OMG - really?
Yeah, all big fat sweaty pigs are 'that healthy' whatever that's supposed to mean.
Congrats to Sheri Biggs
Sheri Biggs, a nurse practitioner who had the backing of Gov. Henry McMaster, defeated her GOP primary challenger in a Tuesday runoff election to clinch the Republican nomination to replace outgoing GOP Rep. Jeff Duncan in South Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District.
The runoff election between GOP candidates Mark Burns and Sheri Biggs was triggered earlier this month after neither candidate received a majority of the vote in the state’s Republican primary election for the district.
Burns received around 33% of the vote, receiving a little more than 27,000 votes in the June 11 primary election. Biggs received about 28% of the vote in the same election, garnering just over 23,500 votes.
Biggs, a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, ran as a “pro-life, pro-Second Amendment lifelong Republican.”

“Congrats to…”
Good to see you are satisfied with the primary election results. Hopefully the same level of acceptance in the process will carry over to the upcoming general election.
Don't really see how anyone will be happy after November's election.
Happy about what?
That goes both ways.
“Happy about what?”
That our election process works regardless of what candidates are placed before us. Candidates come and go, but we should all be appreciative of the integrity of the system, lest we become apathetic in the face of some who ignorantly discount its legitimacy.
“That goes both ways.”
When we eventually ignore the question of ‘sides’, that is the only way to achieve all we were meant to be as a country.
The lunatic fringes will never be satisfied, but the rest of us have much more interest and thus more incentive to do our best to not let partisanship dictate our future.
Yeah, the system has been in place for quite a while now.
Personally, I am ashamed we have such shitty candidates and will never be happy or pretend to be happy about it.
But, hey, kumbaya, right?
This is the lunatic fringe here on NT
You sound very confident.
The "rest of us" have yet to condemn a heinous murder.
“You sound very confident.”
You sound very conflicted.
1. The country is already apathetic. If it werent Trump never would have been elected in the first place.
2. "our election process works regardless of what candidates are placed before us."
Half the country believes in conspiracy theories, and votes on these beliefs. America is in trouble that it will take many years to dig out of.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday tossed out claims that the Biden administration unlawfully pressured social media companies to removing certain content.
The high court overturned an injunction that would have placed limits on contact between government officials and social media companies on a series of issues.
The Republican attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri and five social media users had filed a lawsuit alleging that U.S. government officials put pressure on social media platforms to censor certain content.
The court ruled 6-3 that the plaintiffs lacked the standing to sue.

Says the guy who wants to duct tape just about every teacher in just about every educational institution.
Is every teacher a Marxist?
You have a tendency to paint them as such just as you use a few awful crimes to paint an entire group as criminals. It's your modus operandi.
They are overrepresented and have had a huge influence over our children.
Try not to get personal. I think you can do better.
Considering the sorry state of the American population, I believe he wants teachers to teach what actually matters. He doesn't want to duct tape them, he wants them to actually do their job. When you consider that 54% of the American population have a literacy rate below a sixth-grade level, that's shameful. The numbers for adult numeracy isn't much better, where only 70% of adults understand math well enough to be graded level 2.
The American education system has fallen so far behind the rest of the world and what do the loudest voices scream for? More money and teaching equity. Fuck em, they need to get back to the basics.
What?!?!
Teachers TEACHING?
Wow.......such a novel concept today!
Mo' money, mo' money!
I told you a number of times to drop 'revenge', it's not a balm and will keep you from doing better.
When will Democrats/leftists stop supporting criminals?
When they start voting republican?
When they inconvenience them. Like when they start, murdering, raping and mugging them.
