The anti-Muslim police training in San Angelo was worse than we thought.
THIS WEEK: John Guandolo expounded upon how to interpret 14th-century Islamic law, identify a Jihadi job applicant and stymie the Muslim Brotherhood’s conspiracy to topple America at a now-rejected police training in San Angelo. We got the audio.
From the essay: “My great-aunt Maw-Maw was a socialist and she was 6 feet tall. Or, more truly, she was 5 feet 11 inches and a yellow dog Democrat: She’d vote for a yellow dog before she’d vote for a Republican. A couple years ago my cousin’s dog actually got into Maw-Maw’s house and she found it asleep on her bed. Maw-Maw winked at me and said it had been years since she’d had a male in her bed. I asked her if she enjoyed the experience and she said, ‘No, ma’am. I chased him right out.’”

The Draw of Death Row
With “dark tourism” on the rise, Huntsville’s prison museum is thriving, Robyn Ross writes in this 2016 story.
From the story: “People like to play outlaw, walking into the replica of a cell, and for a dollar per person, visitors can borrow striped shirts and snap selfies behind bars. Some parents appreciate the chance to shut their kids in the cell for a moment of deterrent contemplation. The contraband case displays prohibited items made by inmates: a knife concealed in a flip-flop, a Coke can with a secret compartment, a jump rope made from state-issued boxer underwear.”
