4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes. Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on. They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth. Elsie’s story must be told:

The order handed down this month closed an attempt by a civilian engineer to get justice for an assault she said threw her life into shambles.

The recommendation to suspend Terry Hillard's son for as long as a month was wiped out after then-police Supt. Larry Snelling intervened in the case. Meanwhile, the younger Hillard faces potential dismissal for allegedly getting more than $18,000 in fraudulent PPP loans, records show.

The Lake Co. Bar Association gave an award to former SA Michael Waller. Waller was responsible for numerous wrongful convictions. These were egregious in that prosecutors under his command defended the convictions for years despite ironclad physical evidence showing they'd locked up innocent men.
From the Lake County Bar Association: Congratulations to Michael J. Waller on receiving the 2026 Benedict J. Ori Award.

This distinguished award recognizes a former Lake County prosecutor whose contributions have had a lasting impact on law enforcement, the legal profession, the judiciary, and the citizens of Lake County.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
