Thug Named “Bam Bam” Enters Woman’s Home, Fed-Up Victim Makes Him Pay

A Missouri thug nicknamed “Bam Bam” recently climbed through a woman’s window in the early morning hours with some very bad intentions. Now, the story has gone viral after the fed-up victim made him pay.

Every week in our country there are numerous home invasion crimes where innocent victims are badly hurt, robbed, raped, or murdered. There never seems to be a shortage of thugs around who are committing these heinous crimes. Once in a while, a story emerges where the would-be victim delivers some brutal justice to their attacker, and that is exactly what happened in this case, according to Springfield police.

According to local news source KTTS, the home invasion took place on Wednesday, May 16, 2018, at approximately 2:30 a.m. at an apartment in the 2800 block of South Nettleton in Springfield. Police said that a woman who lives in the Palm Village apartments was horrified to find an intruder in her home after he crawled through a window.
Many people aren’t prepared for this kind of confrontation and sadly, the end results usually mean devastation for the victims or their families. Police said that when the suspect, later identified as 24-year-old Benny Jones, came through the woman’s window, he was staring down the barrel of a gun. The would-be victim was about to turn this thug’s night into pure hell.

According to Springfield News-Leader, the victim did what she had to do. Fearing for her safety and possibly for her life, the woman aimed her firearm at Jones and shot him in the leg. In the following moments, the woman called the police to report the break-in.
When police arrived, they found the suspect suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg and called for an ambulance to transport him to a nearby hospital for treatment. After Jones was treated by medical staff, he was arrested by Springfield police and booked into Greene County jail.

This thug probably never imagined that his plan to break into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment with bad intentions would backfire in such a horrific way. In my opinion, Jones got exactly what he deserved and maybe even a little less than he deserved for committing a home invasion. Police said that the woman and Jones had a history together.

Perhaps the woman decided enough was enough and was ready for her creepy ex-boyfriend in the event that he couldn’t take “no” for an answer. Whatever his motive was for breaking into the victim’s apartment, Jones paid for it with a gunshot wound to the leg. Thankfully, it’s Jones who will deal with the consequences of his actions and not the woman he tried to victimize.
The bottom line here is that every American has the right under the 2nd Amendment to lawfully protect themselves in the event that their life is endangered. Even though many cities in the U.S. come down hard on lawful gun owners when they are forced to shoot an intruder, I think it’s better when a would-be victim survives to take their chances with a team of jurors rather than end up in a coffin.

Once again, the 2nd Amendment pulls its own weight. A woman in Springfield, Missouri is alive and well after a dangerous home invasion attempt by a thug who couldn’t have been there to just chat. So many home invasion victims in our country needlessly suffer or are murdered by ruthless thugs simply for the fact that they didn’t exercise their right to bear arms.
Despite how the mainstream media tends to criminalize lawful gun owners, the fact of the matter is that an increasing number of people in our country are stepping up and taking responsibility for their own personal safety and becoming more aware of the need to defend their lives and their homes. The next time you hear an anti-gun advocate preaching about the evils of the NRA or how gun-owners are dangerous people, share this story with them.

BOOM! HUD Secretary Ben Carson Strikes Fatal Blow To Obama-Era Rule

Ben Carson has been doing phenomenal work over at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. As someone who once lived in Section 8 housing, he understands the struggles of those who live there all too well. However, that does not stop people on the left from trying to denounce the good work that he does. Carson’s recent actions that made headlines were a fatal blow to overregulated rules during the Obama Administration. And now they are gone.

Recently, Carson got rid of the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing tool. This law was written to try and enforce the Fair Housing Act of 1968. It requires cities to acknowledge and address the different disparities of minority protected groups. However, the tool was very difficult to utilize and confusing for regulators. Thus, the Trump administration deleted this federal regulation that is costly to the American taxpayer.

Allen West reported,

“The Department of Housing and Urban Development has undone a key element of the Obama-era fair housing rule, saying that it hurt local governments rather than helping them lessen inequities.
The agency, led by Ben Carson, announced Friday evening that it was withdrawing the assessment tool by which cities and counties are supposed to identify housing discrimination and other problems faced by minorities and other groups.

In a press release, HUD said that the tool was “confusing, difficult to use, and frequently produced unacceptable assessments.” The tool is the centerpiece of the rule known as Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, finalized in 2015. The Obama administration wrote the rule to enforce a section of the 1968 Fair Housing Act that requires cities to proactively address disparities suffered by protected groups.

Proponents viewed the rule as a way for the federal government, which gives out funds to cities and counties, to promote fairness and reduce the effects of past and ongoing discrimination. But conservative critics, including Carson, have argued that it represents an unwarranted intrusion of federal government influence into local zoning ….”

Back in 2015, a rule required that approximately 1,200 communities that were receiving housing dollars from the federal government had to use this tool to try and analyze the local patterns of segregation and create a new plan to correct this. Otherwise, they would lose their Department of Housing and Urban Development funding.

The Washington Post reported,

“The tool contained questions for local governments to answer, by referring to the data and maps provided by HUD, about policies and practices that influence housing patterns. In addition to analyzing residential segregation, communities were supposed to examine areas of poverty concentrated by race as well as disparities in accessing jobs and quality schools.

HUD Secretary Ben Carson had suspended that rule in January, prompting the lawsuit last week by a coalition of fair-housing advocates. The agency says it is now seeking public input on how local governments could best promote fair housing choices while it reviews how it could make the assessment tool “less burdensome.”

In conjunction with removing the tool, the agency said it would also withdraw its January suspension of the 2015 requirement that communities submit their assessments of racial segregation to the agency in the manner and timeline outlined by the Obama administration.

Fair-housing advocates said the agency’s move to withdraw the tool is simply another way for HUD to suspend communities’ obligation to examine and fix residential segregation. “They’re trying to achieve the same goal, just through a different avenue,” said Lisa Rice, president and chief executive of the National Fair Housing Alliance, one of three housing advocacy groups that filed the lawsuit. “They’re trying to get out from under the lawsuit. Instead of suspending the rule, they’re making the tool that communities use to follow the rule null and void.”

Rice had met with Carson prior to the lawsuit being filed to ask him to reinstate the 2015 rule and enforce it, to no avail. Sasha Samberg-Champion, lead attorney on the lawsuit, said HUD’s withdrawal of the very action being challenged in court doesn’t “fundamentally change anything in the real world.”

The Trump administration is still allowing local and state governments to receive billions of dollars in federal housing grants without demonstrating compliance with the full requirements of the Fair Housing Act, he said, despite HUD’s claims Friday that its latest actions show its commitment to the 50-year-old law.

Nunes is DONE Playing Nice with the DOJ and Just Issued This Brutal Ultimatum

Devin Nunes is fed up with the DOJ and their slow-walking of subpoenaed documents.

Nunes is now laying the smackdown and will refuse to go to any meetings with the DOJ where they don’t release documents.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., on Sunday said he ignored an invitation by the Justice Department to continue talks Friday with government officials about documents he seeks related to the Russia investigation because he was sure someone at the agency was leaking.

“We’re not going to go to another meeting where we don’t get documents, and then the meeting leaks out,” Nunes said during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.

In recent weeks, Nunes subpoenaed the Justice Department for documents concerning an American who was a confidential intelligence source for Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. The subpoena came after the agency did not reply to a letter asking for details on Mueller’s probe. But the DOJ, backed by the White House, did not provide the documents, informing Nunes earlier this month that providing the information would threaten the life of the source and jeopardize national security. Instead he got a briefing with government officials, along with Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., the chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

Though Nunes and Gowdy said they had a “productive” meeting and looked forward to future discussions, Nunes did not respond to an invitation from the DOJ to answer questions he posed last week in a follow-up meeting Friday.

Nunes explained Sunday that he and Gowdy did not accept the invite because they found out they would not be receiving the documents they wanted.

A Justice Department spokesperson told the Washington Examiner, “The FBI was prepared to answer his questions last week, but they can’t do that if he won’t talk to us.”

During the Fox News interview, Nunes also said that had they gone, leaks about an supposed FBI informant who had contacts with President Trump’s campaign would be pinned on them.

Two reports published Friday evening, one by the New York Times and the other by the Washington Post, describe the informant in question as an American academic who teaches in the United Kingdom and met with up to three members of the Trump campaign to look into their ties to Russia. These include campaign advisers Carter Page, who was surveilled by the government via Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants, and George Papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty last year to lying to the FBI and agreed to cooperate with special counsel Mueller’s investigation. The FBI reportedly launched its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election after it got word that Papadopoulos learned that the Russians obtained thousands of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails months before WikiLeaks published them.

Both the Times and the Post said they identified the informant, but declined to identify the person heeding concerns of national security officials that the individual’s life and the lives his his or her sources would be placed in danger. However, subsequent reporting indicated the informant was a Cambridge University professor.
Trump and his allies have accused this informant of possibly having political motives to hurt his campaign.
