Utah man arrested for mailing poison to Republicans
A sign that even liberals are subject to the law: A Utah man has been arrested for mailing letters with material containing the poison ricin to Republicans, including Trump.
Utah resident William Clyde Allen, 39, “knowingly threatened to use a biological agent and toxin, specifically ricin, as a weapon,” according to a statement from the Justice Department and the US Attorney’s Office in the western state.
In addition to Trump, Allen’s targets included Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, along with the FBI and CIA directors and commanders of the Air Force and Navy. Allen was arrested on October 5 shortly after the Pentagon intercepted suspicious mail. He pleaded not guilty.
This arrest happened six days ago. The poisoned letters and the arrest have attracted little or no press coverage. I had known about the letters, but not the arrest. I only learned about it today because of the coverage relating to the mailed bomb threats to Democrats.
Both events are vile. If we had a legitimate press, instead of one that works for the Democratic Party, both would have received equal coverage. Civilized people should find both equally unacceptable. It appears the press and the left (I repeat myself) are not bothered by anything like this, if it happens to conservatives.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

That is just how invested the MSM is in their Liberal politics that they must surrender their charge of properly and more or less reporting the news in a relatively objective way. They have most all become testifiers and “guiders” of the public and of the “proper” interpretation of the news that moves their personal subjective political agenda forward and to the Left. Oh the universities have done such a good job.
A very precarious position for our country and the world to find itself, we have been here before but this somehow seems to be at a next level because so much is at stake for both sides but especially for the Left / Democrat side. They will fight to the death to reacquire the power that they seem to think is theirs by right.
The nature of our system is to invite such offensive behavior and tolerate it and that is why in the midterm elections there must be winning and retaining power where true leadership is in full operation, it is the only way.
How desperate have the Democrats become and how far will they go?

To date $70 million dollars worth. That plus more is what the Democrats beating ted Cruz is worth. Fortunately money is not the ultimate determining factor in politics, ask Hillary.
Is the source msn tv we know and hate so well due to its bias?
Like you I agree that this done by either party advocate should not be tolerated and be given equal condemnation by the media. Not to do that invokes more violence and the left knows it (IMO).
Here is some more information from the local news source.
