259 Flash Flood Warnings in Colorado so far this year, setting recordt, it completely shattered the previous record of 176 year-to-date Flash Flood Warnings, which was set back in 2013 (and also came on the heels of a big wildfire year in 2012, similar to this year).

The National Weather Service issues Flash Flood Warnings. As a reminder, a Flash Flood Warning means that flooding is already happening or about to, while a Flash Flood Watch means that conditions could lead to flooding.

This year has featured an exceptionally busy monsoon season, with regular rounds of showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the mountains. That seemingly non-stop moisture combined with multiple huge burn scars across the state is the primary driver behind many of the Flash Flood Warnings.

Perhaps more importantly, though, it's the combination of last year's record wildfire season combined with this year's busy spring and monsoon seasons that's led to such regular rounds of flash flooding across the state.

In particular, it's the Grizzly Creek, East Troublesome, Cameron Peak and Williams Fork wildfire burn scars that have prompted numerous rounds of flash flooding and, ultimately, Flash Flood Warnings.

Due to all of the rain we've seen so far this year and the typically lengthy recovery process for wildfire burn scars, it may be several years until burn scar-related flooding stops in those particular areas.

‘The stuff of which violent insurrections are made:’ Federal judge sanctions Colorado lawyers for 2020 election lawsuitA federal judge in Colorado has sanctioned two lawyers who filed a lawsuit challenging the 2020 election late last year, finding that the case was ‘’frivolous,’’ ‘’not warranted by existing law,’’ and filed ‘’in bad faith.’’

In a scathing 68-page opinion, Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter found that the lawyers made little effort to corroborate information they had included in the suit, which argued there had been a vast national conspiracy to steal the election from former president Donald Trump.

 

He particularly called out the duo, Gary Fielder and Ernest John Walker, for quoting Trump in their legal filing, which cited a presidential tweet that claimed without evidence that voting machines manufactured by the company =Dominion Voting Systemshad ‘’deleted 2.7 million Trump votes nationwide.’’ Neureiter called that allegation ‘’highly disputed and inflammatory’' and said the lawyers made no efforts to verify it.

 

The two lawyers filed the case as a class action on behalf of 160 million American voters, alleging a complicated plot engineered by Dominion, Facebook, its founder Mark Zuckerberg, his wife Priscilla Chan, and elected officials in four states. They had sought $160 billion in damages.

 

The case was dismissed in April, but Neureiter ruled that the attorneys had violated their ethical obligations by lodging it in the first place and by peppering their motions with wild allegations that they had made little effort to substantiate. Legal rules prohibit attorneys from clogging the court systems with frivolous motions or from filing information that is not true.

Dayton children found dead in Baltimore car trunk remembered as 'doll babies'Aug. 5—James Phillips remembers 7-year-old Joshlyn Johnson and 5-year-old Larry O'Neil as "doll babies."

 

Phillips and his wife, Evelyn Phillips-Simon, raised their mother, Dachelle Johnson, from a young age. Dachelle lived with them from the age of 7, and after the births of the two children James and Evelyn were deeply involved in their upbringing. When Dachelle moved to Baltimore in 2019, she took the children with her.

 

Phillips didn't like the idea of Dachelle taking the kids with her to Baltimore. But when he talked to her on the phone she said everything was OK.

 

"She would tell me the kids was all right and they were doing fine," he said. "But come to find out the kids weren't with her."

 

Joshlyn's and Larry's bodies were found in Baltimore last week in the trunk of a car driven by Dachelle Johnson's sister, Nicole Michelle Johnson. Dachelle Johnson told police she gave the children to her sister in 2019, The Baltimore Sun reports.

 

Nicole Johnson is facing criminal charges. The Baltimore Sun reports she told investigators that in May 2020 she hit Joshlyn and the child hit her head on the floor, and she then put the girl's body in a suitcase in her car. She told detectives that two months ago Larry went to sleep and didn't wake up, the newspaper reports; she put his body in a tote in her car.

Reached by phone Wednesday, Dachelle Johnson declined to be interviewed at length for this story. She said it was Larry's birthday and they were getting a cake to remember him.

"Just going to celebrate him," she said. "(It's) pretty heartbreaking."

 

Family questions story

Family members here and in Baltimore, however, are questioning why more wasn't done to protect the children.

Dachelle Johnson's mother Michelle Johnson, in a phone interview Wednesday, said Dachelle lived with her briefly when she arrived in Baltimore in 2019, then moved into a motel with her sister. Dachelle Johnson then left the kids with her sister to move into another nearby motel with a man, her mother said. Dachelle became pregnant, her mother said, and she moved back to Ohio briefly in mid-

Mexico sues U.S. gun manufacturers over deadly toll of arms trafficking

The Mexican government argues that the companies know that their practices contribute to the trafficking of guns to Mexico and facilitate it.Mexico wants compensation for the havoc the guns have wrought in its country.

 

MEXICO CITY — The Mexican government sued United States gun manufacturers and distributors Wednesday in U.S. federal court, arguing that their negligent and illegal commercial practices have unleashed tremendous bloodshed in Mexico.

 

The unusual lawsuit was filed in U.S. federal court in Boston. Among those being sued are some of the biggest names in guns, including: Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. SWBI, -1.23% ; Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Inc.; Beretta U.S.A. Corp.; Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC, and Glock Inc. Another defendant is Interstate Arms, a Boston-area wholesaler that sells guns from all but one of the named manufacturers to dealers around the U.S.

 

The manufacturers did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

 

The Mexican government argues that the companies know that their practices contribute to the trafficking of guns to Mexico and facilitate it. Mexico wants compensation for the havoc the guns have wrought in its country.

 

The Mexican government “brings this action to put an end to the massive damage that the Defendants cause by actively facilitating the unlawful trafficking of their guns to drug cartels and other criminals in Mexico,” the lawsuit said.

 

The government estimates that 70% of the weapons trafficked to Mexico come from the U.S., according to the Foreign Affairs Ministry. And that in 2019 alone, at least 17,000 homicides were linked to trafficked weapons.
