https://www.facebook.com/reel/1162082209206992With the news about Zorro Ranch lately, interesting that there's a ranch on the AZ/Mexico border available now
Cochise County is looking into leasing it for a training center for the Cochise County Sheriff's Dept. The sheriff is a maga guy and the ranch is owned by Howard Buffet, longtime RW supporter of militias and the RW sheriff.
The ranch as been used as a staging ground for self-proclaimed militia border protectors in past years. The ranch is on the AZ/Mexico border in a sparsely populated area where there has been years of illicit doins, people, drugs, rapes of women coming into the US.
Now, with all this attention being paid to investigations of Zorro Ranch, it makes me curious that Howard Buffett has decided he no longer want to ranch and offered to sell or lease his borderland property.
Raised my curiosity as to why a county supervisor is pushing the idea of the County leasing the property and having it under the control of the Sheriff's dept. Evidently, the department already has property for range training. Curious as to why THIS property is being considered to the department's land holdings.

Hickman: Staying in the county, let’s pivot to something different. There’s been speculation about Howard Buffett’s ranch along the border. Terry Jo?
Neff: We’ve heard for months he might sell. Frank, you toured the property recently. What’s happening?
Antenori: The ranch sits right on the border. Mr. Buffett has invested heavily there and supported the sheriff’s office in various ways.
Antenori: What we’re exploring now is a potential 25-year lease to the county. It would likely be jointly managed by the sheriff’s office and county facilities.
Antenori: There are substantial structures — conference rooms, guest housing, training facilities. It could be used for deputy training, county conferences and retreats.
Antenori: There’s already a small range the sheriff uses for short-range training. We’re evaluating the full scope of potential use and cost. Staff will present a proposal, and the board will decide whether it makes sense.
I think it might be prudent to bring the sniffy dogs to have some walk-abouts on the property before the county pays to let the maga sheriff have this property put under his protection.
On edit, didn't put 2 t in Warren's son's last name.
My cold ol heart is warmed that some kind souls donated to DU to gift me hearts. Thank you so much.
Throwing people off voter rolls is why Trump wants those state rolls.
Wondering: How many facing potential disenfranchisement are women?
And how many women will be disenfranchised because their 'married name' no longer matches birth name or previous drivers' pre-marriage license name?
The GOP, and Trump mob in particular, know women are gonna be a real problem for them. There has been talk of disenfranchising women for a few years now. The mismatched name issue could easily be the starting place for the disenfranchisement of millions of women.
GET THE PAPERS YOU NEED TO SHOW WHY BIRTH NAME AND CURRENT NAME MIGHT NOT MATCH? To it NOW!
Here is link to CDC site to guide people to links to use to get certified copies of vital records. Please share the link and why it is needed.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/w2w/index.htm]
If possible, set up ways to help poor women in your town afford to pay for any/all certified copies of records they need to prove why their names may now be different from the names on their birth certificates.
GOP knows they have lost the female vote in many places. They will try to keep us from voting. Do not let that happen.
Get the word out that women need to get vital records NOW. It takes time for states/counties to get us the docs we may need. DO NOT hesitate.

Trump, Bondi, Noem, Bovino are comitting terrorisism, pure and simple
[link:https://www.newsweek.com/pam-bondi-ice-minnesota-shooting-tim-walz-letter-voter-files-11413859] ]
In the letter, Bondi blamed both state and local leaders for the unrest that has come in response to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operations. She said that Walz could "restore the rule of law."
...
Bondi set out a list of three demands in the letter, including that the Department of Justice be given the state’s voter registration records, that the state repeal the "sanctuary policies," and share its records on Medicaid, and Food and Nutrition Service programs.
Trump/Bondi demand the state repeals "sacntuary policies", information on who gets state aid and voter information from Walz. States run their elections, not the federal government. Demanding voter information is a political goal. ICE is not doing immigration investigations, they have been unleashed, and possibly ordered to do violence and intimidation on the public. They are committing crimes of violence. They are covering up the crimes those working for them have committed and are committing.
What Trump/Bondi/Noem/Bovino/Miller are doing IS TERRORISM: the use of violence or threats to achieve what they cannot achieve thru political means.
IMPEACH CONVICT REMOVE NOW. Criminal trials when this terrorist administration is out.

Cochise County, AZ where it's not just county sups trying to interfere with election certification we deal with
I don't have a lot of respect (well, ANY respect) for the local sheriff
https://cochiseregionalnews.substack.com/p/cochise-cronyism-part-2-influential?r=2aq166&triedRedirect=true]
The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office recently received a million dollar federal taxpayer-funded grant-- at least a quarter of which appears to be earmarked largely for the travel expenses of Sheriff Mark Dannels, so that Dannels may spread the gospel of “standing united and border security.” This is an interesting expenditure of taxpayer dollars, given Dannels’ history of ties to far-right extremists and dubious border security claims [read more here and here].
Further, Dannels has seemingly used his public office and public law enforcement agency to undertake an advertising campaign for a private defense contractor. This campaign has not only benefited the profit-driven corporation in its quest to attain contracts under the reign of Trump, but has also likely enriched the corporation’s board members and others receiving equity compensation. Among this defense contractor’s board members is a Trump ally who served in a Project 2025 leadership position, and appears to have provided guidance to the Project 2025 Border Security Workgroup.
The Project 2025 Border Security Workgroup was an entity Dannels was also also involved with. This group worked throughout 2024 to shape policy and plans meant to implement Donald Trump’s mass deportation and other national security objectives.
I have personally seen this 'sheriff' hold up local police and border patrol who were rounding up some people arrested for illegally crossing (via US citizens driving 'load cars) in my neighborhood, with some of those people hopping my yard fence and passing thru my back yard. It was a HOT day. The police and BP guys had finished apprehending all the people the load car driver dumped in our 'hood during a police chase. The police & BP guys were professional, did not abuse anyone, and were hot and tired, panting in the 100 degree plus heat. Water was given to the detainees who were seated on a curb in what little shade there was available. Well, all but one detainee.
One skinny little young man was sitting on a different curb down the block, where there was no shade, and he was not cuffed. He was monitored by 4 BP agents, all hot and panting from the pursuit over several walls and thru several yards.
Why was he singled out and left un-cuffed but surrounded by BP agents? PR, baby, PR photo shoot!
See, it took a while for our Napoleonic sheriff to arrive for his local newspaper photo shoot, cuffing the dangerous exhausted 120 pound menace to society himself. The local magas ate that stunt up.
This twerp in a uniform is obviously looking for a career change, either public office or the more delicious appointment to a federal position that doesn't really involve any work beyond posing for pictures and stretching the truth to justify political agendas.
