Snapchat was supposed to make the evidence disappear. Her friends made sure it didn’t. Former high school dean Tate Drane was 27 when police began investigating reports that he had sent a student more than a dozen inappropriate disappearing images through Snapchat. But while the messages were designed to vanish, the student’s friends reportedly grabbed another phone and photographed what was appearing on the screen. That decision changed everything. When detectives confronted Drane outside his home, he initially claimed the pictures were meant for his wife after a “date night” and had accidentally gone to the wrong Snapchat account. Then investigators pointed out one major problem: If it was truly an accidental message to the wrong account… how did he immediately know exactly which student had received it? Detectives told him Snapchat records could be subpoenaed. The explanation began falling apart. Drane eventually acknowledged that he and the student had communicated extensively and that boundaries had been crossed, while denying separate allegations of inappropriate physical contact at school. He was arrested and originally faced multiple charges involving alleged misconduct with a chi!d while holding a position of trust. The case ultimately ended with Drane pleading guilty to felony chi!d abu&e resulting in &erious bodi!y !njury and attempted &exual as&ault on a chi!d. He received 90 days in jail. One of the most important details in this entire case may be the simplest: A group of students understood that disappearing evidence needed to be preserved. Snapchat messages can disappear from a screen. Consequences don’t always disappear with them.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger is proposing 277,000 acres of solar panels to produce home grown “clean” energy. That’s the size of Fairfax County, Arlington County, and the City of Alexandria combined. Ninety percent of the solar panels would be placed on farmland and forests. Millions of trees would be clear-cut. State Senator Glen Sturtevant says solar is unreliable and he once again called for a statewide data center moratorium. The governor’s energy report says data centers are driving 90% of new energy demand.

I have dug through over 7,000+ arrest records in the state of North Carolina over the past 2 weeks. What I found was so shocking, I had a hard time believing it myself... It appears major fraud is taking place in arrest records where Black offenders are labelled White. I didn't come across this once or twice. It appears that a few HUNDRED Black offenders are being labelled as White. The option to pick "BLACK" exists and is used frequently in arrest records... ...but it seems they are purposely choosing the label of "WHITE AFRICAN" or "WHITE CAUCASIAN" to identify someone who is clearly a "BLACK" person. This is massive fraud.

I was a Charlotte, NC, reporter when the openly Democrat leadership of Bank of America recruited Tom Tillis to run against one of the most conservative members of our legislature as a "Republican" and filled his coffers with cash. Tillis can't get along with Trump for one simple reason: he was a Democrat then, and he's a Democrat now.
