Texas man, Daniel Piedra Garcia, was shot while driving for Uber in El Paso. The woman accused of shooting him, Phoebe Copas, claimed she believed he was trying to kidnap her. Instead of contacting authorities, she first called her boyfriend after the incident. Piedra is currently in critical condition.
Piedra's niece, Didi Lopez, expressed shock and disbelief that her uncle was involved in such an incident. She described Piedra as a loving man who was excited about driving for Uber and providing for his family. The family believes that stereotypes about the border may have contributed to the shooting, as people make assumptions based on inaccurate information from the news or social media.
The arrest report revealed that Copas shot Piedra because she saw an exit sign mentioning Fort Bliss and Juarez, Mexico, leading her to believe she was being kidnapped. However, Piedra's family feels that no one deserves such a violent act and believes that stereotypes and misinformation played a role.
Copas did not immediately call 911 but instead took a photo of Piedra and sent it to her boyfriend before seeking help. The family has been informed by neurologists that there is little more that can be done for Piedra, leaving them with a difficult decision to make regarding his treatment.
Lopez mentioned that Uber has been in contact with the family, offering support and assistance during this challenging time.

Supreme Court Ruling: Accepting a Pardon is an "Admission of Guilt!"
A Presidential Pardon does not take effect unless the suspect accepts it. That according to a little known, 1915 ruling from the Supreme Court, once accepted, the pardon serves as an “imputation of guilt,” or what’s more commonly known as an admission. Because accepting the pardon is “essential to it’s validity,” I am demanding the Biden family, Dr. Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, the members of the J6 Committee and everyone else Biden unsurprisingly pardoned declare their acceptance of the pardon publicly. Because, according to the Supreme Court, it would also serve as a declaration of guilt.

California Fire Chief Saves Two Homes Using Milk and Beer After Finding No Water in Hose
NY Post - January 17, 2025
In an extraordinary act of resourcefulness, a California fire chief saved two houses from destruction during the fierce Eaton Fire by using milk and beer as firefighting agents, after discovering the local water supply was unavailable.
Brian Fennessy, 65, and the Orange County Fire Authority Chief, found himself in Altadena, where his childhood memories coexist with the current devastation. With no water pressure in the fire hoses, he resorted to unconventional methods. “I thought I’ll check the refrigerator and all that was in there was some milk and a couple beers,” Fennessy recounted.
