Ex-Con Hired by D.C. as Violence Interrupter Arrested, Charged with Murder

In a curious twist, a “reformed” criminal hired by the District of Columbia’s chief legal officer to help curb violence has been arrested and charged with murder. The case involves a taxpayer-funded public safety program known as Cure the Streets launched by D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine to reduce gun violence by treating it as a disease that can be interrupted and stopped from spreading. Cure the Streets typically hires men and women with criminal histories as violence interrupters because they know first-hand about the challenges that residents of crime-infested communities live with. Racine, who was reelected to a second term in 2018, says the transformed criminals hired by his program perform community-driven public safety work that can avoid using police.

Here is how they carry out the task, according to Racine’s office: By interrupting potentially violent conflicts because they have relationships and influence within targeted neighborhoods. Violence interrupters “engage with the community to learn about brewing conflicts and resolve them peaceably before they erupt in violence,” the program’s website states. Violence interrupters also identify and treat individuals at high risk for involvement with violence by meeting with them and implementing individualized risk reduction plans. “They also help connect participants with needed services, such as housing, counseling and employment assistance, and develop action plans for a positive future.” Finally, the D.C. Attorney General claims violence interrupters mobilize communities to change norms by engaging residents, local businesses, community leaders and faith leaders to work with high-risk individuals to reduce violence. “CTS works with these partners to organize forums and public events where residents can gather and interact safely without fear of conflict and violence,” the D.C. government website claims. It is not clear what impact Cure the Streets is having on violent crime in the District, but the Metropolitan Police Department reports that homicides are up 20% from last year.

The program operates in notoriously high-crime sections throughout D.C., which are broken down by wards. They include Eckington/Truxton and Trinidad in Ward 5, Marshall Heights/Benning Heights in Ward 7 and Bellevue, Washington Highlands, and Congress Heights in Ward 8. The Cure the Streets employee recently charged with murder was a supervisor who led a team of six violence interrupters and outreach workers. His name is Cotey Wynn, an ex-con with an extensive rap sheet who served a decade in prison before D.C.’s chief legal officer hired him. Wynn’s record includes felony murder, first degree murder, possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, and distribution of a controlled substance, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. On December 4, the agency’s Capital Area Fugitive Task Force arrested the 39-year-old Wynn and charged him with second degree murder while armed. At the time of his arrest Wynn was under the supervision of the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia, a federal agency that believes preventative detention should only be a last resort for defendants, who should live in the least restrictive conditions while awaiting court.

Police say Wynn fatally shot a 53-year-old man named Eric Linnair Wright in 2017 near the Trinidad neighborhood in Northeast Washington. The violence interrupter was identified by multiple witnesses after viewing security camera footage from nearby homes, according to police. Authorities also tracked Wynn’s cell phone to the location of the crime. In a statement issued to local media, Racine’s spokesperson said this: “The Office of the Attorney General is aware of Mr. Wynn’s arrest for a homicide he is alleged to have committed in 2017, prior to his employment with Cure the Streets. This case will now proceed through our criminal justice system where Mr. Wynn is presumed innocent. We are confident that justice will be served once this process is complete. Our hearts go out to the family of Mr. Wright, the victim in this case, and to the affected members of the community. The important work of the Cure the Streets team will continue.”

It was not that long ago that the same office, charged with enforcing D.C. laws and protecting the interest of its citizens, bragged about what a great guy Wynn is. In a profile posted on the Attorney General’s website over the summer, Wynn was portrayed as somewhat of a saint. When observing Cotey at work, you see a respected professional, a loving father, a devoted friend, and a pillar of the community,” according to the piece which includes a photo of the accused murderer delivering resources to D.C. residents during COIVD-19. The story also reveals that Wynn could not find a job after a decade in prison since “the damage to his reputation made it hard for him to find employment” so D.C. government hired him as a violence interrupter for Cure the Streets.

Calif Democrat Rep. Swalwell Refuses To Explain Affair with Notorious Chinese Sex Spy

How much did the Chinese pay Swalwell to push the ‘Russia! Russia! Russia!’ hoax for years? How much cooch does that require?

Rep. Eric Swalwell) is refusing to say if he had sex with an accused Chinese spy who cozied up to a slew of US elected officials, including him, in a bid to infiltrate the US political system.

NYP: The 40-year-old congressman was among a group of Bay Area Democrats targeted by the honeytrap — also known as Christine Fang — who entered the US as a college student in 2011 and spent the next four years wooing the lawmakers to get close to sensitive government intelligence, according to a report in Axios.

Swalwell, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, has cooperated with federal investigations into Fang, according to his spokesperson.

“Rep. Swalwell, long ago, provided information about this person — whom he met more than eight years ago, and whom he hasn’t seen in nearly six years — to the FBI,” Swalwell’s office told Axios. “To protect information that might be classified, he will not participate in your story.”

And Swalwell’s office relied on the “classified information” line when Fox News’ Tucker Carlson questioned them about whether the California Democrat engaged in sexual relations with Fang.

…… But while Swalwell said he has cut off all contacts with Fang, his father, Eric, and brother, Joshua, still have the honeytrap listed as a friend on their Facebook pages.

And she shared a 2016 post from Joshua that linked to a video of him and his congressman brother.

Donald Trump Jr., meanwile, questioned Swalwell’s seat on the House intelligence panel, saying the congressman should be considered a national security threat because he might have been compromised by his relationship with Fang.

“We shouldn’t be surprised that the media being silent on this issue which is truly a national security threat while this man sits on the House Intelligence Committee,” the president’s oldest son told Carlson.

Chinese Sex Spy Targeted Democrat Politicians, Raised Money For Eric Swalwell, Planted Intern In His Office, ‘Using Sexual Relationships’

Swalwell refuses to explain relationship with suspected Chinese spy accused of affairs with mayors

Bombshell report linked California Democrat with suspected spy

By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News | December 9, 2020 |

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., is keeping quiet about his past relationship with a woman suspected of acting as a Chinese spy.

Axios reported that a Chinese national named Fang Fang or Christine Fang targeted up-and-coming local politicians, including Swalwell. Fang reportedly helped fundraise for Swalwell’s 2014 campaign and helped place at least one intern in his office.

In fact, a former intelligence official told Fox News the Chinese for years have sent spies to “sleep with lesser-known members of Congress and staffers.”

Fang’s relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors turned sexual, according to Axios, with at least two incidents being caught by FBI surveillance. When asked about the nature of Swalwell’s relationship with Fang, the Democratic congressman’s office declined to comment.

According to Axios, federal investigators gave Swalwell a defensive briefing in 2015 during which they alerted him to their concerns over Fang. An intelligence official told the news outlet that Swalwell cut ties with her soon after.

The congressman’s office told Axios that Swalwell “long ago, provided information about this person — whom he met more than eight years ago, and whom he hasn’t seen in nearly six years — to the FBI.” Beyond that, however, his office would not discuss the story, citing concerns related to classified information.

An anonymous FBI official told the San Francisco Chronicle that “Swalwell was completely cooperative and under no suspicion of wrongdoing.”

“It was a defensive briefing,” the official told the Chronicle. “Information was obtained where we do a duty to warn … that he may be targeted by a foreign government.”

Fang also volunteered for the 2014 House bid of Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and a 2013 fundraiser for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii. Khanna’s office said the congressman saw Fang at several gatherings but had no further contact, while Gabbard’s office told the outlet she “has no recollection of ever meeting or talking with [Fang], nor any recollection of her playing a major role at the fundraiser.”

Fang reportedly left the U.S. in mid-2015.

President Trump Asks Sen. Ted Cruz To Argue Texas Election Fraud Lawsuit At Supreme Court

Praying.

Trump asks Cruz to argue Texas case

By John Bowden, The Hill, December 9, 2020:

President Trump has asked Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) to present a case from his state’s attorney general seeking to invalidate the election results of several key battleground states before the Supreme Court should it decide to hear the suit, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

The lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) seeks to void the vote certifications of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and Michigan, arguing that the results are “tainted” by new election processes in those states.

The court has not yet agreed to hear the case on its merits and on Tuesday rejected efforts by pro-Trump attorneys to overturn the results in Pennsylvania in a separate case.

White House officials did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill. The president has for weeks refused to concede his election loss to Joe Biden and has launched legal efforts in multiple states, with no success thus far, to overturn the president-elect’s victory in key battlegrounds.

Legal experts have largely panned the president’s efforts as unserious thus far and have spared no criticism for the latest effort by Trump’s allies in Texas.

“It looks like we have a new leader in the ‘craziest lawsuit filed to purportedly challenge the election’ category,” wrote Steve Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas at Austin, on Twitter.

News of the president’s request to Cruz comes shortly after he told his followers Wednesday in a tweet that he would be “intervening” in the Texas case while not specifying what that intervention would look like.

“We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!” the president tweeted.

Cruz Reintroduces Bill to Designate Muslim Brotherhood a Terrorist Group

This would be transformative in ending the subversion and infiltration of Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

“Cruz reintroduces bill to label Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist group,” JNS, December 7, 2020:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has reintroduced a bill that calls on the U.S. State Department to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group.

His office announced on Dec. 2 that the senator is again pushing for the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, which requires the State Department to report to Congress about whether the transnational Sunni Islamist organization founded in Egypt meets the legal criteria for designation.

The bill is co-sponsored by Sens. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Pat Roberts (R-Kan.).

“I am proud to reintroduce this bill and to advance America’s fight against radical Islamic terrorism,” said Cruz in a statement released by his office. “I commend the current administration’s work calling terrorism by its name and combating the spread of this potent threat, and I look forward to receiving the additional information this new bill requests from the Department of State.

“Many of our closest allies in the Arab world have long ago concluded that the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist group that seeks to sow chaos across the Middle East, and I will continue working with my colleagues to take action against groups that finance terrorism.”

In the same statement, Inhofe said “since the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Brotherhood-affiliated groups have consistently preached and incited hatred against Christians, Jews and other Muslims while supporting designated radical terrorists.”…

The Stolen Election: Hiding Biden Laptop Scandal Reveals More Frightening Social Plan

Bill Whittle shows how Twitter and Facebook hiding the Hunter Biden laptop (and Joe Biden influence peddling) story, helped Biden beat President Trump in battleground states, and thus in the electoral college.

VIDEO: Texas Attorney General Explains State’s Supreme Court Election Integrity Lawsuit

The latest news is the lawsuit filed by the state of Texas against the states of Michigan, Wisconson, Georgia and Pennsylvania. What is unique about this lawsuit is that it pits a state against other states. Because of this the U.S. Supreme Court must take the case and has already put it on their docket.

This case is important because it can, if the the SCOTUS sides with Texas, nullify the 62 electoral college votes controlled by these four states.

Add to this the pending lawsuits in Nevada and Arizona, which controls a combined 17 electoral college votes (AZ -11, NV-6). Currently, according to EveryLegalVote.com President Trump has 232 vs. Biden’s 214 electoral college votes. If Trump wins both his lawsuits in Nevada and Arizona this would bring his total electoral college votes to 349. If Trump wins only Nevada he would have 236 electoral college votes vs. 225 for Biden. Trump wins. If Trump loses both in Nevada and Arizona then Biden wins the most electoral college votes. But neither has reached the magic number of 270. So what could happen then?

If the elections in Michigan, Wisconson, Georgia and Pennsylvania are found by the SCOTUS to be null and void then their 62 votes would not count and neither President Trump nor Biden can achieve the needed 270 electoral college votes then by the U.S. Constitution it falls on the shoulders of Congress.

If  the winner of the election would be determined by the U.S. House of Representatives because each state gets one vote and Republicans control more states than Democrats, therefore Trump wins.

ELECTION UPDATE: Chances of Biden winning PA, MI, GA, WI Independently after Trump ’s early lead is less than 1 in a quadrillion.

The 2020 presidential election is the most bizarre in my lifetime. This kind of election destroys Americans trust in our system nation wide.

I have never seen:

  1. The media call an election before all votes are counted.
  2. The growing examples of not only voter fraud but growing proof of election fraud.
  3. The tech giants attempt to paint anyone who disagrees with them negatively or even censoring them.
  4. The lack of some GOP elected officials to get behind the movement to #CountEveryLegalVote.
  5. The odds that a weak candidate like Biden could win anything without help from organized election fraudsters.
  6. The lack of justice in state supreme courts to sworn testimony of voter/election fraud on a massive scale.

In a Business Insider article titled 83% of Republicans polled after the 2020 election said they didn’t believe Joe Biden won  reported:

  • It’s been a month since major news organizations projected Joe Biden to win the 2020 election. But 83% of Republicans polled by Gallup in the days afterward indicated they didn’t believe the reports.
  • In the poll, taken from November 9 to 15, 99% of Democrats, 64% of independents, and 17% of Republicans characterized the news reports as “accurate.”
  • The vast majority of Republicans polled — 89% — said they didn’t believe the electoral process worked well, while 92% of Democrats said it did.
  • The 2020 election was unlike any other in US history, with an unprecedented surge in mail-in voting, a raging pandemic, and a huge spike in domestic misinformation.

Here’s one example of the odds of Biden’s win in swing states.

Texas Sues Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin at Supreme Court over Election Rules

The State of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution

Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures. Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Finally, Texas argues that there were “voting irregularities” in these states as a result of the above.

Texas is asking the Supreme Court to order the states to allow their legislatures to appoint their electors.

Supreme Court Adds Texas Election Fraud Lawsuit Against GA, MI, PA, WI to the Docket And Rejects GOP Pennsylvania Lawsuit

Attorney General Jeff Landry’s Statement on 2020 Federal Elections and Recent Texas Motion Before the Supreme Court

Louisiana Dept of Justice, December 8, 2020:

BATON ROUGE, LA – Attorney General Jeff Landry issued the following statement regarding the ongoing controversies over the 2020 federal election and the new motion put forward by the State of Texas before the U.S. Supreme Court:

“Millions of Louisiana citizens, and tens of millions of our fellow citizens in the country, have deep concerns regarding the conduct of the 2020 federal elections. Deeply rooted in these concerns is the fact that some states appear to have conducted their elections with a disregard to the U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, many Louisianans have become more frustrated as some in media and the political class try to sidestep legitimate issues for the sake of expediency.

Weeks ago, on behalf of the citizens of Louisiana, my office joined many other states in filing a legal brief with the United States Supreme Court urging the Justices to look into the conduct of the election in Pennsylvania where their state court ignored the U.S. Constitution in regard to the conduct of the election. The U.S. Constitution in Article 1, Section 4, states plainly: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature …” The power for the conduct of federal elections is held by the State Legislatures in each state. In states like Pennsylvania, the judicial branch attempted to seize control of these duties and obligations and to set their own rules. These actions appear to be unconstitutional. If it is unconstitutional for Pennsylvania to take this action, it is similarly unconstitutional for other states to have done the same.

Only the U.S. Supreme Court can ultimately decide cases of real controversy among the states under our Constitution. That is why the Justices should hear and decide the case which we have joined representing the citizens of Louisiana.

Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court should consider the most recent Texas motion, which contains some of the same arguments.

Louisiana citizens are damaged if elections in other states were conducted outside the confines of the Constitution while we obeyed the rules.”

VIDEO: Conservatives Are Way. Too. Nice. Time to be more like serpents.

TRANSCRIPT

Church Militant (a 501(c)4 corporation) is responsible for the content of this commentary.

In the continuing revelations being made at the intersection of Church and culture, President Trump said something very plainly Saturday at the Georgia rally in Valdosta — as plain, in fact, as the nose on your face. It’s this simple point: Republicans are nice, and as a lady from the crowd reminded him, too nice.

Likewise, in last week’s public hearing on election fraud in Michigan, Rudy Giuliani made the exact same point, that good people are too nice and have not realized just how mean bad people really are. Hopefully, it’s a message that will resonate with political conservatives and enough Republican leaders before it’s too late.

But moving from that point straight into the Faith, there are often major overlaps in how all these affairs play out because we are always dealing with human nature at the end of the day, regardless of the given arena. Too many faithful Catholics are just way too nice. For a variety of reasons, they simply let the evil in the Church (as well as the world) continue. In some weird, overly pietistic view of the second commandment to love your neighbor, they simply forsake all common sense and proper judgment.

The idea that it isn’t Christlike to treat a person suspiciously or that it is sinful to weigh their words against their actions and determine that they are lying is errant. Living the Catholic life fully oftentimes means living in a state of tension, balancing two seemingly contradictory principles across a large spectrum of teaching.

Deciding how to live and respond and conduct our affairs is why we need prudence. Going to one side or the other of a given proposition often leads to chaos. For example, when Our Blessed Lord instructed the Apostles to go out and save the world, which is what His sacred command boiled down to, they flinched, understandably.

“You send us out as sheep among wolves,” they said. A very correct first understanding, as many of us know and can testify to. But here comes the “balancing act” response: “Then be as cunning as the serpent and as peaceful as the dove.” That may be the only time in human history that alignment has ever been made.

Today, and maybe longer than most realize, this divine command is being lived totally out of balance — way too much dove, nowhere near enough serpent. To have a personality that is suspicious of authority is seen as unholy or deficient or some such other degrading view. To regard someone who tells you something that doesn’t add up as a liar or dishonest is frowned upon.

No, we should not always give someone the benefit of the doubt. And to label that as “Christlike” to do and to hide behind a soft spirituality is naive at best and destructive at worst. Would you give a convicted sex offender the benefit of the doubt when looking for a babysitter? Would you give the keys to your car to an alcoholic who is on a drinking spree?

There is absolutely nothing in the world wrong, sinful or immoral about being suspicious of a leader, person or family member whose actions don’t align with their words — even someone coming off as “holy” and pretending to be about the Faith and so forth. You have to consider are they just self-promoters making a living off you, telling you what you want to hear.

Are they advancing some personal agenda regarding schismatic groups, for example; deliberately withholding information from you that would undermine their cause or argument? Are they just trying to expand their email list or increase their Patreon donations by saying what tickles your ear?

Turning from laity to clergy, are the bishops being two-faced and malicious in reality, while in public presenting themselves as concerned “fathers”? Yes, at the very first instance, a person should be given the benefit of the doubt. But when words and actions begin to veer apart, then, yes, it is time to go from dove to full-on serpent.

Remember, these sorts of people are very good at the sly, slithering serpent role, presenting themselves as doves, all the while planning to strike like serpents — the wolf in sheep’s clothing expression. Not for nothing do we have the expression “Watch what he does, not what he says.”

Yet something in the personality and misguided spirituality of many faithful Catholics seems to preclude looking at the world and people in it for what they truly are: Fallen. Fallen mankind is capable of great evil, great deception, horrendous immorality. To walk through life as though that’s not the case is to whistle past the graveyard.

Chalking up evil actions to some irrational excuse in the name of piety is to place your soul and body in danger. This is how wicked priests and bishops got away with raping thousands of altar boys and then using your money to pay off the lawsuits (not to mention the lawyers) when they got caught.

This is how they also got away with destroying the faith of tens of millions in this country alone with hardly anyone uttering a peep. See, that wicked lot is perfect at following the counsel of Our Lord, at least outwardly: Be as cunning as the serpent and as peaceful as the dove.

Cunning they certainly are. Yet the only way they are able to be cunning is because too many faithful Catholics are willing to believe their hogwash, their outward show. Look at their actions, at what they do, not what they say. Their words are a deflection. It’s the same with politicians as well as supposedly reliable Catholic information sources.

First, ask yourself, in all cases, what skin does this fellow have in the game? For example, where does the funding come from? Is a politician supported by Wall Street or Soros or whatever? Is a Catholic apostolate — or media personality — supported by schismatic groups or, perhaps, a few very wealthy donors who pull the strings?

Where did the money come from to begin the operation (whether it’s a campaign for office or a Catholic venture)? Did the politician or Catholic person put up his own money, making him personally invested? Is the politician or Catholic person or outfit personally profiting from their messaging, or are they reinvesting that money back into their effort to better the world and humanity?

It isn’t sinful, immoral or uncatholic to ask these questions — to wonder these things — especially if you start to see a divergence in words from actions. Faithful Catholics in the Church and the world of politics need to ask a lot more questions and be a lot more suspicious-minded.

Too many have been conditioned to feel that suspecting something bad is afoot or making judgments in the material order is a bad thing. Being suspicious of evil and making correct judgments about it is how you get to Heaven — by avoiding the pitfalls. And that’s not Church Militant saying that, it’s Church Militant repeating what Our Blessed Lord said.

Abandon this stupid anti-Catholic notion that “nice” wins the day. The word “nice” never once appears in Sacred Scripture. Being “nice,” in fact, is a sure path to Hell.

Former Special Agent asks 15 Questions about the Voting Irregularities in Georgia

The letter below was sent to me by a former Special Agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. – JE


John,

I’m sure you are as concerned as many of us about the election process in many of the democratic controlled swing states as well as what is happening in our state.

I’ve lived in Georgia numerous times since the 60’s and corruption has always permeated the city of Atlanta and Fulton County.  I spent most of my time as a Special Agent with the GBI Intelligence Unit investigating this corruption.  It has gotten much worse since those days.

The GA Secretary of State has indicated that Fulton County followed normal procedures in counting votes and there was nothing fraudulent about the ballot boxes pulled from beneath tables after the announcement to stop counting for the night.  I simply cannot accept such a general explanation and don’t think any citizen should accept such a flimsy answer.

I just sent emails through the Secretary of State’s website with my concerns and specific questions that need to be answered.  I believe everyone should be bombarding them asking for specific answers.  The following is a summary of my statements and questions:

  1. Why will you not conduct a hand count comparison of the number of absentee/mail-in ballots to signed envelopes?
  2. Numerous red flags question the legitimacy of what happened after Fulton County announced vote counting was being discontinued for the night.  The entire process smells bad:
  3. Why did Fulton Election Officials continue pulling out ballot boxes from beneath tables after announcing the counting was being stopped for the night?
  4. Why were these ballot boxes concealed beneath tables when the facility was large enough to stack them in plain site?
  5. Where did these ballot boxes come from?
  6. When did they arrive at the vote counting center?
  7. Did these containers have any identification numbers on them?
  8. How were they transported to the center? Exact identification of the transport?
  9. Who brought them into the counting room? Names please!
  10. Were these boxes logged in when arriving in the counting room?  By Whom?
  11.   Please describe the exact process.
  12. What are the names of the vote counters remaining after the stop counting announcement?
  13. What are the names of the vote counters and observers that left the center after the stop counting announcement?
  14. Were there any Republicans or others observing the vote counting after the stop counting announcement?  What are their names?  Did they actually observe the individual ballots as they were counted?
  15. What was the exact distribution of votes counted between Trump and Biden during the time after the stop voting announcement?

I also made the following comments in my emails:

It doesn’t appear that you have answers to these questions.  Your explanations that there doesn’t appear to be any problem with the Fulton after hours vote counting is very weak considering the unanswered questions above.  Many voters just don’t believe your recent explanations.  Where is the DOCUMENTATION?

Please provide me with answers to my questions ASAP?  Many Georgians that I’ve been in contact with do not trust the election process and require a better explanation from our elected officials.  Failure to provide believable and provable answers will not be acceptable and we will continue to use every means possible to get to the truth.  The legitimacy of all future elections will be questioned unless the process is more transparent.”

Hope you are well,

Ken Goodnight
