From Washington Times:
Commander and Major weren’t the first Biden family pets with a penchant for gnawing on U.S. Secret Service agents.
“No wonder the Secret Service is a mess,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “Biden’s dogs terrorized agents and White House personnel for a decade, and nothing was done about it until Judicial Watch exposed the dangerous scandal.”

CERES, Calif. (TCN) — Three people were taken into custody after a naked teen bound at the wrists was found at a local grocery store.
On March 26 just before 2 p.m., the Ceres Police Department received a call about a nude male running down the street near Hatch Road and Richland Avenue. Officers arrived at the Cost Less Foods grocery store and located a 15-year-old who had been bound at the wrists. Police said there were “also indicators that he may have been bound at the ankles with multiple visible injuries.” Paramedics transported the teen to a hospital for treatment.
The Ceres Police Department said the victim’s mother, Leandra Renteria, came to the grocery store looking her son. Police also learned she had a 12-year-old daughter, so they went to the residence to conduct a check. The girl was reportedly safe, but Renteria’s home was “in poor condition.” Both the 12-year-old girl and 15-year-old victim are reportedly autistic.
After conducting an investigation into the circumstances, officers arrested Renteria, Lenore Wilson, and Gary Wilson for child abuse and neglect. The children are both in custody of Child Protective Services. KCRA-TV reports Lenore Wilson is the children’s grandmother, and Gary Wilson is her husband.
Rebecca Renard, the senior head clerk at Cost Less Foods, told KCRA the victim was “dragging a rope” by his left ankle and he was “very thin.” Store employees covered him with a jacket until police arrived.
A manager at the store, David Avila, said, “This kid is in trouble and we need to get him help. His wrists were together, and there was another rope on his ankle.”
Lt. Jeff Godfrey said Renteria’s home was filled with urine, feces, “strong odors, things that are very strong health hazards that nobody should be living in.”

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (TCN) — Authorities recently arrested a woman on suspicion of killing her missing husband, whose remains were found in a pond last week.
According to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, on Jan. 28, an employee at Methodist University requested a welfare check on Clinton Bonnell, who was in the school’s physician assistant program but failed to attend class that morning.
Deputies responded to his home, where Bonnell’s wife, Shana Cloud, said she hadn’t seen her husband since the previous day. Investigators located Bonnell’s vehicle, school bag, and other belongings at the residence.
One of Bonnell’s friends reportedly called later that evening to make another welfare check request, and a missing person investigation was launched.
Investigators executed search warrants at the home and for digital data, which provided a timeline of events surrounding the victim’s disappearance. On Feb. 25, an individual called the sheriff’s office to report human remains found in a body of water on Gainey Road. According to WRAL-TV, the reporting party indicated that the victim had been dismembered.
The sheriff’s office said authorities obtained the victim’s DNA and sent the remains to the North Carolina State Crime Lab. On March 28, investigators identified the victim as Bonnell. That same day, the sheriff’s office arrested Cloud in connection with her husband’s death.
Cloud faces charges of first-degree murder and concealment of death. She was booked into the Cumberland County Detention Center without bond.
Bonnell’s school, Methodist University, said in a statement, “Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. We’re a close-knit community with an abundance of care for each other, which makes a loss like this all the more sorrowful for us all.”
The victim was reportedly a Green Beret, an elite Special Forces unit in the U.S. Army.

New York’s controversial killings of Peanut the Squirrel and his pal Fred the Racoon have drawn a near apology for the incident that drew online anger at Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and criticism from Elon Musk.
“The heartless killing of ‘Peanut the Squirrel’ by New York state bureaucrats shocked America,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “And now these same bureaucrats don’t want to turn over one document about Peanut’s death and their abusive raid on Peanut’s home. Judicial Watch’s lawsuit aims to get to the bottom of this abuse of government power,” he said.
