Police Steal $87,000 From a Former Marine They Claim was Following a Truck Too Closely


The Washington Post reports that a Nevada trooper stopped former Marine Stephen Lara, over a bogus claim about the highway patrol trying to educate drivers “about violations they may not realize they’re committing,” telling the former Marine he’d been pulled over for “following a tanker truck too closely,” - a claim Lara denied.  The trooper then searched Lara’s car and found $87,000 in cash, which the police immediately confiscated and refused to return, even though Lara was released and charged with no crime.  Lara is now suing to get his money returned to him.

Oh, I get it now!  He was pulled over for “tailgating.”  Now, to be completely honest, I don’t like tailgaters either, but isn’t an $87,000 fine just a wee bit extreme?  Why, that’s nearly as much as a parking meter violation here in LA.  Meanwhile, Lara told the cops he was carrying the cash because doesn’t trust banks, but his ex-wife thinks he’s just hiding the money from her.  


Perhaps, but what I don’t get is, how is it that carrying around a large wad of cash in your car is so suspicious, yet rednecks can ride around in their great-big, over-sized trucks, brandishing all kinds of high-powered weapons and ammo on full display - and police are like “yes, and what’s the problem?”


So, apparently - it turns out that if the cops say you’re guilty, that’s all we need to know.  Terrific, I guess we can just go ahead and scrap our entire criminal justice system then - forget about “probable cause” and “innocent until proven guilty” - along with all that other silly stuff, and simply ask a cop “what they think about the matter.”  It’lI sure save a lot of time, and I hear they’re known to have some rather interesting takes on criminal justice matters.

Sen. Katie Britt Blames Biden for a Rape 20 Years Ago in Mexico

During what many are calling an absolutely insane rebuttal to President Biden’s “State of the Union” address, Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.), walked onto a studio sound stage (set up like an upper-middle-class kitchen) and began to link a harrowing account of a young woman’s sex trafficking and rape by a Mexican drug cartel, to Joe Biden’s immigration policies of the 2020s.  She did this even though the abuse happened nearly 20 years ago and in Mexico - and at a time when Republican George W. Bush was president, not Joe Biden.  The girl about whom Sen. Britt spoke - was thrown out of her house by her mother at age 12 and eventually “fell prey to a professional pimp.”  There is no evidence that she was ever held by a drug cartel, as Katie claimed.  In addition, the young victim testified that most of her clients for prostitution were foreigners visiting Mexico to have sex with underage girls.   Okay, so now let me get this straight.  A young Mexican fema...

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold:   Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), has become the first Republican congressman to publicly state that, based on the Mueller Report - the President “engaged in impeachable conduct.”  Rep. Amash further added that Attorney General Barr “deliberately misrepresented” the Mueller Report’s findings to congress and to the American public. Oh boy!   One can only imagine the 3 AM tweet storm that’s gonna emanate from Trump’s porcelain throne over this level of betrayal.  I’ll tell you another thing, disloyalty of this magnitude to the Cult of Trump isn’t likely to set well in America’s trailer parks either.   But then again, what else is new?  After all, Republicans have never viewed reality as being in their best interests.  Now, I have no idea how all this is gonna finally go down, but I do know one thing - Justin Amash is definitely not gonna get an invite to Donald Trump's next wedding....

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone:  Speaking at a recent conference, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari denied claims that he had died and been replaced by a Sudanese impostor or a clone, breaking his silence on a rumor that has been circulating on social media for months. Wait a minute, I think I saw that movie - “ Weekend at Muhammadu’s. ”  And, if I remember correctly - wasn’t it was a Sudanese actor who played the lead?  Who do they think they’re kidding anyway?  After all, I wasn’t born yesterday! Now, of course, I’m sitting out here in California - so I have no sure-fire way to confirm or deny all these rumors, but I do know one thing - if you can’t believe Nigerian e-mails and social media posts, what the hell can you believe? https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
