If you’re driving at night, turn on your headlights

The po-leece are suspicious when it’s after midnight and you’re driving on complete blackout.

HEMPSTEAD COUNTY, AR (KSLA) - A Southwest Arkansas sheriff's deputy knew something was amiss when a car with no headlights on drove by about 18 minutes past midnight.

But what ultimately was found in that vehicle turned out to be more than one likely would have imagined.

It happened early Thursday morning as Deputy Derick Bunn was standing outside the Hempstead County Sheriff's Office.

The gold-colored car with no headlights on was heading west on 4th Street when it stopped at a stop sign at Washington Street and turned north toward 3rd Street.

Authorities say that's when the driver accelerated to a high rate of speed and blew through a stop sign at 3rd at Washington.

He was traveling fast enough that the car went airborne.

And sparks flew from underneath the vehicle when it landed on the north side of the intersection.

That's when Bunn begain chasing the vehicle.

He reportedly saw it run stop signs on Ferguson Street at 3rd and 4th streets before coming to a stop on Ferguson between 4th and 5th streets.

The driver identified himself as a Litchfield, Ill., man by the name of James Wesley Anderson.

And Bunn thought he smelled marijuana.

Authorities say Anderson refused to get out of the car when asked to do so first by Bunn and then by Hope, Ark., police Officer Hunter Halliday.

When two more Hope police officers arrived and asked Anderson to get out, he reportedly said he did not feel safe doing so.

When he was forcibly removed from the car and handcuffed, an officer noticed Anderson was wearing an empty holster.

Anderson reportedly told officers the gun was in the car's center console.

And after asking Anderson if there was anything else in the vehicle, officers confiscated:
• a small jar of suspected marijuana,
• a pistol with a full magazine and a round in the chamber, and,
• drug paraphernalia.

In a bag in the back seat they reportedly found:
• a large glass jar partially filled with marijuana,
• a glove containing a white ball with a brown tar-like substance, and
• a contact lens case containing a small usable amount of suspected methamphetamine.

That was not all.

Further search of the vehicle led to the seizure of $11,963 in cash and 20 guns.

Those firearms were:
• 4 Para 1911 .45-caliber semi-automatic handguns,
• 3 AK-47 semi-automatic rifles,
• 3 Mag 9mm semi-automatic pistols,
• 2 Colt 45 semi-automatic handguns,
• 1 Ruger 9mm semi-automatic pistol
• 1 SWD Inc. M11 9mm semi-automatic pistol,
• 1 Kimber 45-caliber handgun,
• 1 Colt government 45-caliber handgun,
• 1 Kimber 45-caliber semi-automatic handgun,
• 1 Ruger .22-caliber semi-automatic handgun,
• 1 Remington .22-caliber bolt-action rifle, and,
• 1 Remington 30.06 Springfield bolt-action rifle.

Also seized were about 1,000 rounds of AK-47 ammunition and several hundred rounds of ammunition and loaded and empty clips for all the weapon found in the vehicle.

Now Anderson is being held in Hempstead County Detention Center on charges of:
• simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms,
• possession of methamphetamine,
• possession of marijuana,
• possession of drug paraphernalia,
• careless and prohibited driving,
• disobeying a stop sign, and,
• what started it all, driving with no headlights.

Quack, quack

Our neighbor has started feeding the (wild) ducks. Three days ago after taking Victor and Charlie out and then letting them back in, I went out with plastic bags to gather the dogs’ leavings. Two ducks swam across the pond, climbed the embankment and walked to within three feet of me.

“What?” I said.

“Quack, quack.” (Duck for ‘Where da food?’)

“I don’t have any food.”

“Quack, quack, quack, quack.” (‘Yu da man. Where da food?’)

“You’re talking to the wrong man. I don’t have any food.”

“Quack, quack, quack.” (‘Yu da man. Man got food.’)

They didn’t believe me. They were still waiting when I walked away.

One of those days I’m sort of glad the alligator left the pond. The neighbor probably has more sense than to feed an alligator. But you never know.

Last week, a story said a Chicago alderman has sent messages to his alders, suggesting they stop feeding coyotes. You feed wild animals, they associate you with food. When you don't have food, you are food.

In the wilds of East Texas

Lions and cougars and bears, oh my, yes.

There are woods no one ever goes into, places where people hunt deer. Plentiful small and medium wildlife means there will be something bigger looking for dinner.

From a blog where a writer wonders if there are “mountain lions/Cougars in the area.” One response:

“I live in Teasaville,Texas,ive noiticed big cat tracks around my house,thats scary,i live around eight miles from Bullard,Tx.,i know some of the screams are big scetch owls,there very loud,but i have alot of small animals around my place,i go out every once in awhile and check out the tracks in my yard,ive seen some buck tracks,doe's,small cats and some very large cats,ive even seen some very large wolf tracks in my yard,i use to have a part wolf and german shepard mix,so i know the difference in the wolf tracks verses a big dogtrack,these prints are as big as my hand and im a big man with large hands,although i dont have a dew claw but they do,i have always heard we dont have wolves in east texas area,but we do,ive seen them around the Troup area on the roadside,many people say there big cyoties or wild dogs,that we do have around the bullard area,ive heard that for many years,i also have hogs around my house theyve been small tho,not real big,i noiticed someone hit one down the road from my house on 346 north,it was a huge one,probably around three to four hundred pounds a month ago,but i have also seen a panther around the first bridge going down 110south going to troup after passing the Bullard cut off,he was walking across the bottom area,my dad was hunting in the Price,Texas area and a panther walked up on him,while deer hunting he was around ten foot in a tree,the dew was out,he said every step he made he would shake his paws off,i guess because of the dew on the ground,he didnt like them wet,he stayed very still and gun ready,he said after that he never went back to that stand,but there here whether we like it or not,we just have to keep an eye out for them,or stay away from them.Stay safe everyone”

We live in interesting times

“How extraordinary to see a world-historical revolution unfolding before one’s eyes and not know how it will turn out: that’s what’s happening right now in Saudi Arabia. Mohammad bin Salman, a 32-year-old too young to be a partner in most law or finance firms, has managed, by intrigue not yet fully disclosed, to supplant his cousin Crown Prince Muhammad bin Nayef as heir to the throne and to carry out a purge of the royal family breathtaking in its sweep. Imagine: not only did bin Salman order the arrest of at least ten other princes and a score of former government ministers, now held in luxurious restraint in Riyadh’s Ritz Carlton; he also supposedly had Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, one of the world’s richest men and a major shareholder of 21st Century Fox, Citigroup, Apple, Twitter, and a host of other giant Western corporations, hanged upside down and beaten in an ‘anti-corruption’ investigation.”

There was a time I thought the period 1914-22 was the period of greatest change in world history. Most nations participated in The Great War; millions of soldiers died from wounds and diseases; millions more civilians died from disease, starvation and government bullets; three empires collapsed in blood and more deaths; and the world’s diplomats set the stage for an even greater blood-letting 20 years later.

We now live in an age of great change, a time of events set in motion by the Great War. Where these events take us is a place unknown by anyone.

Syrians want someone else to change their country

“By way of illustration, he tells me how last week he tried to get a job at a workshop in Marzahn, a grim Berlin suburb.

“The German boss asked him where he came from. When he answered Syria, there was an immediate riposte.

“'You should have stayed there,' he told him.

“'You should have fought with the army to make your country take the right path.'

“He then refused Mohammed work, saying he was already paying for him to live free in Germany out of his taxes.”

Almost all the Syrian “refugees” in Germany are men of military age. Rather than change their country, those young men ran away. Not for them the dangers of military service. No taking up arms in a rebel group and fighting the dictatorial Assad. No defending a recognized government against a rebellion.

Those young men ran, believing the nations of Western Europe would give them free housing, would give them jobs. They believed all that because the governments said so. The governments lied to their own people as well, promising (based on what, no one knows) that the refugees would become hard-working, peaceful German, Swedish, Italian, Dutch, Belgian citizens.

So there, you fascist Progressives!

President Trump’s Warsaw speech on Western civilization: ‘We write symphonies. We pursue innovation. We celebrate our ancient heroes, embrace our timeless traditions and customs, and always seek to explore and discover brand-new frontiers. We reward brilliance. We strive for excellence, and cherish inspiring works of art that honour God. We treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech and free expression. We empower women as pillars of our society and of our success. We put faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, at the centre of our lives. And we debate everything. We challenge everything.’
