Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone’s jail drug crisis reaches epic proportions

12News is once again reporting on the ongoing drug crisis occurring in the Maricopa County jails. This Feb.16, 2023 graphic report leaves little to the imagination.This April 7, 2023 report concerned seven female inmates now recovering after overdosing on fentanyl. Over 170 MCSO jail inmates were taken to the hospital for overdose or drug-related incidents in 2022.

Penzone, a democrat elected in 2016, weakly claims the type of drugs and how they were obtained is still under investigation. His immediate predecessor, Republican Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who housed overflow inmates in surplus military tents, was elected to an unprecedented six four-year terms. Bleeding heart liberals protested, though the tents had large air coolers. Arpaio correctly noted that the tents were used to house our military in the Middle East without the aid of cooling fans. Penzone resisted being compared to Arpaio, since he always fell short of the popular sheriff. As a top federal official with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in Mexico, the Middle East, Central and South America as well as in the United States including Arizona where he headed DEA, Joe Arpaio spent three decades fighting narcotics trafficking worldwide.

Over 170 MCSO jail inmates were taken to the hospital for overdose or drug-related incidents in 2022. For these conditions to exist within the jails exemplifies the need to replace Sheriff Penzone.

Currently there are two announced Republican 2024 challengers to Paul Penzone: Frank “Mike” Crawford and Jerry Sheridan. Both Crawford and Sheridan have filed statements of interest. Visit Jerry Sheridan‘s campaign website. This is Mike Crawford’s campaign website.

AZ U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs introduces bills defunding partisan NY DA Alvin Bragg

Arizona U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-CD5) has introduced two bills to defund the Soros-funded Manhattan District Attorney following the sham indictment of President Donald Trump. Although Biggs specifically represents Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District, his voice resonates with all Arizona conservatives.

Take the time to read “Congressman Biggs Introduces New Legislation to Defund Weaponized and Lawless Manhattan DA Office.” It does double duty since it educates while making us proud. The concise but powerful bill, bearing Biggs’ name can be read here.

George Soros, the radical leftist billionaire, who has long been on a mission to fund and elect like-minded district attorneys, gave $1 million to a political action committee that later supported Bragg. The Washington Examiner headlines its report, “George Soros denies boosting Alvin Bragg despite a verifiable $1 Million donation to left-wing PAC.” Politico exposed Soros’ “then-quiet overhaul of the U.S. justice system” back in 2016. His successes served to embolden him and his like-minded family aimed at undermining and ravaging our justice system — one election at a time. The New York Post recently headlined, “George Soros spent $40M getting lefty district attorneys, officials elected all over the country.”

Soros focused on the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, the third largest public prosecutorial agency in the nation, serving nearly four million residents in the fourth largest county in the United States. His sights were set on ousting then-Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery, who Gov. Doug Ducey appointed to the Arizona Supreme  Court, a position that permanently removed Montgomery from Soros’ clutches.

The U.S. currently has 70 Soros-backed “social justice” prosecutors. This map, courtesy of Law Enforcement Legal Defense, details where Soros-funded district/county attorneys have been elected. Pay attention. These lawless officials will preside over chaos and increased crime.

AZ rancher, 73, faces murder charges for defending property from invading illegals

George Alan Kelly is being held on $1 million bail in the shooting death of a previously deported illegal alien invading the Nogales, Arizona ranch on which he and his wife work and live.

Arizona’s failing leftwing newspaper characterized the shooting with the words, “rancher shot and killed a Mexican citizen in the back as he ran for his life.”

Fox News earlier reported a GoFundMe account organized on Kelly’s behalf was booted based on its policy explicitly prohibiting campaigns that raise money to cover the legal defense of anyone formally charged with a alleged violent crime.

An active fundraiser for Kelly remains on the Christian crowd funding platform GiveSendGo.

“Neighbors say that he had been having difficulty keeping invaders out and say that Mr. Kelly would have acted in good faith,” the fundraiser’s organizer, Shannon Pritchard, wrote. “It is a tragedy that a simple farmer, who should be protected by the government, has been abandoned and had to defend himself.”

On his website, in a letter titled, “Welcome to safe, historic and beautiful Santa Cruz County,” Sheriff David Hathaway inanely wrote: “As a family with nine children, we can attest to the fact that Santa Cruz County is a great safe place to raise a family and has the advantage of offering the experience of multiple cultures and easy visits to Mexico.”

Hathaway, a democrat, mostly self-funded his $70,000 campaign in Arizona’s smallest county.

Democrats are eager to tell us what they stand for

Dems unified in desire to defund the police:

…and on the topic of abortion?

Dems all agree: The decision should be made between “the woman and her doctor.” Arizona’s far left Gov. Katie Hobbs (then a candidate) and radical Sen. Mark Kelly both appear in this video, mouthing the same words, that have been hard-wired into democrat‘s heads.

Democrats explicitly refused to name limits – or even just ONE limit – on abortion they'd support.

Sam Brinton, drag queen Biden admin official, charged with theft

Sam Brinton is likely an unfamiliar name to most Americans, but they (using the non-binary preferred pronoun) are emblematic of the horde of deviants who comprise the Biden Administration. Rather than delve into the bizarre configuration of “previously unrepresented individuals” that Biden’s handlers view as imperative to his show of inclusivity, it’s important to know Sam Brinton is not alone. Other notable examples include White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (both married to same sex partners) and Secretary of Health and Human Services Rachel Levine, MD, a transgender, previously married father and Navy Admiral, who is notable for resembling an overweight middle-aged man failing in his attempt to impersonate a woman.

Sam Brinton, a senior Energy Department official, made the news not only as another Biden appointee, but is covered by International Business Times which headlined its report filled with shocking photos, “Who is Sam Brinton? ‘Kink Activist’ and Non-Binary Drag Queen Makes History as Top Biden Admin Official.” Check it out on an empty stomach.

Brinton not only has an affinity for fetishes, domination, makeup, sequins and lace, he is also a thief. This must-read  Nov. 28, 2022  Fox News report by Thomas Catenacci is headlined, “Non-binary Biden nuclear official charged with stealing woman’s luggage at airport,” noting “Brinton faces up to five years in prison and $10,000 fine for allegedly taking another person’s luggage from an airport carousel.” Not just any luggage, but a Vera Bradley trademark floral suitcase reportedly worth $2,325.

Mexico absurdly claims innocence in gun crimes, wants U.S. to pay $billions

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word “chutzpah” meaning raw nerve, is often exemplified by a man who kills his parents and then asks the court for mercy, on the grounds that he is an orphan.

The word, with roots in the Yiddish language, might seem an odd choice to define Mexico’s latest overreach, but it couldn’t be more fitting.

According to ABC News, The Mexican government — suing for unspecified monetary damages — filed another U.S. gun lawsuit Monday, this time against five U.S. gun shops and distributors it claims are responsible for the flow of illegal weapons into Mexico.

Mexico’s first lawsuit, which was recently dismissed, targeted U.S. gun manufacturers and was seeking at least $10 billion in compensation. The second, which Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said was filed in Arizona’s federal district court Monday, targets gun dealers. This is not a new tactic. This criminal complaint was filed in 2021 in Massachusetts. It’s all about money.

“We are suing them because clearly there is a pattern, we contend that it is obvious that there is weapons trafficking and that it is known that these guns are going to our country,” Ebrard said.

Last week, Ebrard threatened that the new lawsuit would target gun shops or dealers in U.S. border states that sell guns to “straw” purchasers passing them on to smugglers, who in turn transport the weapons into Mexico. Marcelo Ebrard, who is unable to acknowledge Mexico is plagued by crime, was affiliated with Mexico’s Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) until 2018.

This is the U.S. Department of State Mexico Travel Advisory, warning that Mexico is “high risk for violent crime – such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery – are widespread and common in Mexico. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in many areas of Mexico, as travel by U.S. government employees to certain areas is prohibited or restricted. In many states, local emergency services are limited outside the state capital or major cities.”

Hunter Biden news you won’t read in the leftist AZ Republic

“Top FBI agent accused of protecting Hunter Biden RESIGNS…” appearing in the U.K.‘s Daily Mail is definitely worthy of your time. The well-researched report provides fact-based coverage you’ll never encounter in the OBiden-supporting, Hillary-endorsing, Trump-despising, dying via attrition, local Arizona newspaper — a relic, which lacks influence.
