Felon caught with AR-15, meth during Ramona traffic stop
RAMONA, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — A man was arrested on multiple charges Thursday night after deputies found an unserialized AR-15-style rifle, ammunition, high-capacity magazines, and methamphetamine during a traffic stop in Ramona, authorities said.
According to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, the incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. on May 29, near the intersection of Main and 16th streets. Deputies from the Ramona Sheriff's Substation stopped a pickup truck and identified the driver as Ryan Jones, 39, who had an active felony arrest warrant.

Jones was taken into custody at the scene. During a search of his vehicle, deputies discovered a methamphetamine pipe, nearly six grams of meth, multiple rounds of ammunition, two high-capacity magazines, and an unserialized AR-15-style rifle with a short barrel — commonly referred to as an SBR.
Authorities say the firearm and ammunition were found inside the truck and were easily accessible from the driver's seat. Jones allegedly told deputies he had purchased the weapon in Arizona and brought it into California.
He is now facing several charges, including possession of an illegal firearm, possession of a controlled substance, possession of high-capacity magazines, felon in possession of a firearm, and importing a short-barreled rifle.
No injuries were reported during the arrest. The investigation is ongoing.

Michelle Obama couldn't be more wrong about women Trump voters
I'm a pro-choice feminist — and a Democrat — who just happened to vote for Donald Trump for president. And I resent Michelle Obama's sneering, demeaning, strangely ignorant and massively sexist remarks about women, our reproductive systems and, especially, our vote. In the latest episode of the podcast, 'IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson,'' the former first lady and lefty pro-abortion activist mounted her high horse and disgracefully disparaged a woman's decision to exercise her right to choose what to do with her body. That is, when that choice is to have a baby. On the podcast she shares with her celebricat brother, the 61-year-old mother of two daughters, insanely breathed strength into the pro-life crowd by declaring bizarrely that creating life is 'the least' of what a woman's reproductive system does. Advertisement 'I attempted to make the argument on the campaign trail this past election was that there's just so much more at stake and because so many men have no idea about what women go through,' Obama said, delving treacherously close to Democratic-style word salad. 'Women's reproductive health is about our life. It's about this whole complicated reproductive system that the least of what it does is produce life.' When does a reproductive system have nothing to do with reproduction? Willful ignorance Mrs. O showed stupendously willful ignorance about her fellow ladies' inner workings. Advertisement 'It's a very important thing that it does, but you only produce life if the machine that's producing it — if you want to whittle us down to a machine — is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way,' Obama added. I guess she missed that day in biology class. Speaking with OB/GYN Dr. Sharon Malone, whose husband, Eric Holder, served as attorney general under former President Barack Obama, Michelle then took aim at the male of the species. Advertisement She attacked guys who, she said, 'sit on their hands' over abortion and are choosing to 'trade out women's health for a tax break or whatever it is.'' But the crescendo came when she denounced women like me of handing the election to President Trump because — get this — we were too stupid or timid to vote for the worst candidate ever to grace a ballot, simply because she is female. In Obama's world, we voted for Trump to please men. Seriously? Advertisement 'There are a lot of men who have big chairs at their tables, there are a lot of women who vote the way their man is going to vote,'' she actually said. 'It happened in this election.' So there it is. Michelle Obama, pretend women's rights warrior, is so condescending to the fairer sex, she insults millions of people bearing XX chromosomes by claiming they were merely trying to please 'their'' man by going for Trump. Hey Michelle — sorry to stick a fork into your Trump Derangement Syndrome — but I, for one, simply voted my mind, my heart, my pocketbook and, yes, my reproductive organs. Despite Democratic hysteria, it's clear to me that the president has no intention of eliminating abortion rights throughout this country. Own opinions There also exist many other issues that concern me. These include runaway crime, the largesse afforded by the previous presidential administration to countless numbers of illegal immigrants, including violent criminals. There's also epic inflation and unchecked antisemitism on college campuses and elsewhere. There's more, but that's a start. In each case, things got so out of hand, I believed Trump had the best chance of saving this nation. Advertisement He couldn't do any worse. I'm no shrinking violet, Michelle. I believe in equal rights — for everyone. And I believe my man is entitled to his own opinions.

White House may ‘jazz up' Trump's briefings as he ‘doesn't like reading'
The White House's intelligence chief is said to be considering turning Donald Trump's routine briefings into a Fox News-style broadcast, with animations of exploding bombs, to make it easier for him to follow. Tulsi Gabbard is looking to revamp the president's daily brief so it mirrors a television broadcast because 'he doesn't read', NBC News reported, having spoken to five people with direct knowledge of the discussion. One idea includes hiring a Fox News producer to produce a briefing that could include maps and animations of exploding bombs. Currently, the president's daily brief is a digital document that includes written text as well as graphics and images. Mr Trump has read the daily brief 14 times since his inauguration, or on average less than once a week – less than his predecessors. 'The problem with Trump is that he doesn't read,' one source told NBC. 'He's on broadcast all the time.' Ms Gabbard believes that cadence and a distrust of intelligence officials, which stretches back to his first term, may reflect his preference for consuming information in a different form, the sources said. They also said that even if the presentation of the president's daily brief changes, the information included would not. Asked for comment, Olivia Coleman, the press secretary of the director of national intelligence, said in a statement: 'This so-called reporting is laughable, absurd and flat-out false. In true fake news fashion, NBC is publishing yet another anonymously sourced false story.' The president's daily brief was tailored for Mr Trump in his first term to include less text and more pictures. Ms Gabbard is said to have discussed more changes, including entertaining some unconventional ideas, as part of reforming the briefing. Davis Ingle, a White House spokesman, said: 'President Trump has assembled a world-class intelligence team, who he is constantly communicating with and receiving real time updates on all pressing national security issues. 'Ensuring the safety and security of the American people is President Trump's number one priority.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Stopping the boats is only half the battle. We must also restore British values
At church on Sunday, we were asked to pray for refugees. I admit that, for the first time, I hesitated. Over the weekend, we have watched helplessly as hundreds of illegal migrants crossed the Channel with impunity. Even John Healey, the Defence Secretary, found these scenes 'pretty shocking'. The monthly Universal Credit bill for households with at least one immigrant is now almost £1 billion. Our streets are disfigured by imported crime and conflict. It isn't easy to be a Good Samaritan when you feel that your country is no longer your beloved home, but a fairly insalubrious hotel. Indeed, the anger engendered by what I call border anxiety puts at risk everything that fills us with patriotic pride – our ancient laws and liberties, our tolerance and sense of fair play and, yes, our kindness to strangers. Successive governments have been elected to control migration, but have proceeded to do the opposite. Simultaneously, we have dismantled or denigrated our own culture, our values and our traditions. The result is that we cannot integrate those who are already here, because we are losing the sense of what it means to be British. Unless we believe in ourselves, all we have is anarchy in public and parallel societies in private. The rage provoked by feelings of betrayal over uncontrolled migration is shattering the British political system, which the rest of the world used to envy and imitate. Yet it is fatal to our civility to give in to that rage: 'Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.' Instead of the fabled stability of our two-party parliamentary democracy, we seem now to be succumbing to a Continental-style chaos of four, five or more factions. A forest fire of fury has annihilated the old parties in France, Italy and other European nations. Why should Britain be immune? Fissiparous parties held together only by hostility are, ironically, prey to foreign powers. In Poland, the presidential election was overshadowed by the fact that the nationalist Law and Justice candidate, Karol Nawrocki, went to the Oval Office mid-campaign to pay homage to Donald Trump. Her master's voice, the US Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem, flew to Warsaw to insist that 'Karol… needs to be the next president of Poland', while denouncing his liberal rival, Rafal Trzaskowski, as 'a train wreck of a leader'. Trump's emissaries had already intervened in the German election earlier this year: both Elon Musk and J D Vance endorsed Alice Weidel, leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. When the German authorities accused the nationalist AfD of extremism, Washington protested again in the name of 'free speech'. Meanwhile, the AfD has made no secret of its pro-Putin sympathies – and the feeling is mutual, especially since the new conservative chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has emerged as a staunch ally of Ukraine. We don't want to see British politics dominated by the White House or the Kremlin. Nor do we want every other urgent issue – from defence to the deficit – to be subordinated indefinitely to migration. We need to reach a new consensus on how to deter or deal with illegal migrants as soon as possible. Undesirables who come here to commit crimes or exploit our generosity must be deported. Likewise, legal migration must be curtailed, citizenship earned and rules strictly enforced. Above all, we must rediscover the world we have lost: in which our history is not a tale told by ideological idiots, but the stirring narrative of a nation of pioneers, entrepreneurs and saviours. We worry about immigrants, but forget about the half a million emigrants we lose a year, many of them young families despairing of a society that has lost its own plot. Three of my four grandchildren are growing up in Poland, a land that has endured an incomparably harsher past than our own, but which celebrates its culture and inculcates old-fashioned good manners. No wonder it is predicted that the Poles will overtaken Japan in GDP per capita next year and will one day surpass Germany and the UK too. Given the polarisation of British opinion on immigration ever since the 1960s, achieving a robust consensus may seem a remote prospect. Yet it is actually well within our grasp. As I wrote here recently, Denmark has done exactly that with its Social Democrat-led coalition under the formidable Mette Frederiksen. She has demonstrated beyond doubt that banishing border anxiety, while restoring confidence in cultural identity and the nation state, do not need to be demonised as a 'far-Right' crusade. Ms Frederiksen is indubitably a woman of the centre-Left, but she is first and foremost a Danish patriot. There are many grounds for doubting that Sir Keir Starmer is about to follow Ms Frederiksen's example, but one of the strongest is the electoral calculus. Labour's elites are wedded to the notion that their voters, who include millions of migrants and their descendants, would desert them if they adopted the Danish model. They are not entirely wrong – many Labour MPs do face threats from Lib Dems, Greens and especially Islamists – but this is a test of the Prime Minister's statesmanship. Ms Frederiksen's predecessor, Helle Thorning-Schmidt (the wife of Stephen Kinnock MP), failed that test and lost. She is a historical footnote, while Ms Frederiksen is widely emulated. Equally, Reform UK is guilty of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. We must beware of belittling the huge contribution that those from overseas have made to this country. It is no accident that the last two Conservative leaders have had migrant backgrounds. There are many like them who are intensely proud of this country and have no time for those who claim asylum but are really gaming the system. It was Rishi Sunak, not Sir Keir, whose measures, passed before he left office, have halved the net migration numbers. Hence Kemi Badenoch is the politician who most deserves to be trusted to achieve a new settlement on migration. Her formula is the right one: to end the automatic path to British citizenship and introduce a legally binding cap on annual immigration. If any leader can lay the spectre of border anxiety to rest, it's Kemi. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
