Here’s how this “Never Trumper” might become the next Republican Governor of New Jersey

by Conservative Times
By: Conservative Times

MORRISTOWN, NJ – Jack Ciattarelli is running for Governor of New Jersey as a Republican and is rolling the dice against President Donald J. Trump. With Trump’s exodus all but certain from the White House after contesting the 2020 election, Ciattarelli has been rolling the dice against Trump for years in his bid to unseat Governor Phil Murphy.   Ciattarelli is surrounded by a circle of Never Trumpers, the New Jersey GOP old guard that is trying to reclaim power in the Garden State.  People like Chris Christie who is Trump’s biggest political Frenemy, former New Jersey Governor and Trump hater, Christie Todd Whitman and even RNC committeewoman Virginia Haines and RNC committeeman Bill Palatucci, both who never really fully embraced Trump are lining up behind Ciattarelli.

It’s a gamble that could pay off for Ciattarelli as he tries to draw in disenfranchised Democrats to his side, the only way he can win against Murphy in 2021.  If Trump’s ratings continue to tank over his prolonged dispute over the 2020 election and the political perception changes that he is a political sore loser who is now baggage for the establishment GOP, Ciatterelli’s anti-trump stance could pay big dividends in November of 2021

His opponent, Doug Steinhardt, who happens to be a Trump supporter, today called him out.

“Jack Ciattarelli is a political opportunist,” said Steinhardt. “He lacks the courage to stand with conservatives on tough issues and can’t be trusted to make the tough choices New Jersey needs to get back on track. Heck, he couldn’t even summon the courage Monday to say he stands with President Trump.”

Earlier this week, on WOR-AM radio with Larry Mendte, Jack Ciattarelli flip flopped again, adding the latest “evolution” in his ever-changing position on President Donald Trump. When asked by the host if Ciattarelli was “as pro-Trump as Doug Steinhardt,” Ciattarelli demurred and said he “was rooting for the President, because that’s the American thing to do.”

“Ciattarelli has vacillated from being an unabashed “never Trumper” who lobbed personal insults at the President, to faking support for Trump when Ciattarelli thought it advanced his personal, political career. In fact, it’s so hard to follow Jack’s political summersaults that we created an easy-to-follow timeline if you don’t know Jack,” Steinhardt said.

Here’s a timeline documenting Ciattarelli’s Never Trumpin’…

  • December 15th, 2015 – Ciattarelli slammed Trump as a “charlatan” who was “not fit to be President of the United States”
  • February 27th, 2016 – Ciattarelli demanded Chris Christie resign as Governor after Christie endorsed Trump for President
  • October 10th, 2016 – Ciattarelli called on Trump to “step aside” as a candidate for President, trying to derail the Trump Train before it ever left the station
  • March 20th, 2017 – Ciattarelli said proudly he did not vote for Trump in the Presidential Election, but “voted for everyone else”
  • January 21st, 2020 – After nearly 3 years of silence, Ciattarelli kicked of his second run for Governor with a lukewarm endorsement of President Trump
  • December  2nd, 2020 – Even the liberal Star Ledger called out Ciattarelli, saying that he was demeaning himself, “by saying and doing things he obviously doesn’t believe.”
  • December 28th, 2020 – Old Jack is back! Ciattarelli refuses to say he is pro-Trump during Monday’s radio show

Steinhardt continued, “With me, you’ll always know where I stand. While Jack Ciattarelli swims in the Trenton swamp with his lobbyist lackeys and State Street sponsors, I’m fighting for New Jersey’s families, because family is worth fighting for. That’s why I’m running for Governor. New Jersey needs leadership for a change, leadership that will make tough decisions to make it easier on hard-working families instead of providing an easy way out for weak politicians like Jack.”

New York City Out of Control: 15-year-old arrested for violent attack on innocent driver in Manhattan

by Adam Devine
By: Adam Devine

NEW YORK, NY – In New York City, being successful and wealthy is now a crime punishable by assault by roving bands of thugs running lawless in the streets.  Equity inequality is now a crime, punishable by street justice.  It’s the tone set by liberal Governor Andrew Cuomo and his comrade in arms, New York City Mayor William DeBlasio.  Although the two leftists have not always seen eye to eye when it comes to how to properly roll out socialism in the Empire State, the do often agree that sometimes, turning a blind eye is the best course of action.

On Tuesday, a roving band of thugs attacked this driver in the streets of New York.  The video went viral.  In that attack, 25 bikers attacked and damaged the victim Max Torgovnick’s luxury car while driving down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.  A 15-year-old Queens teenager has been arrested for the attack.  Torgovnick’s crime?  He had just dropped off a donation to a non-profit organization with his 70 year-old-mother.

Today it was Torgovnick. Tomorrow, it could be you.

In New York, recovering addicts will be first in line to receive COVID-19 to ensure vaccine equity

by Adam Devine
By: Adam Devine

NEW YORK, NY – The liberal left has hi-jacked the medical vaccination process in America.  On Monday, Cuomo said a batch of the state’s vaccine will go to the Office of Addiction Services and Supports.

“New York state has prioritized the vaccine distribution to high-risk populations, including those in congregate care settings where there is an increased danger of virus spread. Many people in these facilities also have additional risk factors that make them more vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19,” Cuomo said. “Unfortunately, there continues to be a stigma against those in recovery when it comes to equal access to health care. These individuals deserve the same access to medical care as everyone else, and those at high risk of COVID should be vaccinated in line with other high-risk populations.”

State seeks to shut down Wildwood Bar for 60 days for serving drinks in violation of Murphy’s Law

by Charlie Dwyer
By: Charlie Dwyer

WILDWOOD, NJ –  The administration of Governor Phil Murphy has announced it is seeking to revoke the license of Flip Flopz bar in North Wildwood during a shakedown statewide that cited 12 bars for violating executive orders in the state.  According to the bar’s website, they have been closed for the season since October.  The violation issued by the state on December 29th. It is unsure what transpired to cause the violation as the state did not provide details.

  • Flip Flopz, North Wildwood. Cited for failing to enforce social distancing on two separate occasions; and for violating face-covering requirements. Also cited for failing to keep an employee list on licensed premises. Penalty sought: 66-day suspension.

According to the Attorney General’s office, 12 bars that allowed patrons to stand in a bar area drinking alcohol without face coverings and exceeding occupancy limits have been cited.  The citation comes days before New Years’ Eve by an administration that has made it no secret, they blame bars for COVID-19, despite having shown the public no scientific proof that their decision to shut down bars has stopped the spread of the virus in the state.  That decision by Murphy was a state decision, not suggested or ordered by the CDC.   The state has refused to release raw data to the public during the COVID-19 epidemic that would be helpful by independent auditors to prove or disprove the state’s claims.

The CDC guidance on bars and restaurants does not indicate any references to shutting down bar services, only that patrons should be seated six feet apart while seated at bars.

“As we’ve said before:  we take no pleasure in undertaking these actions, but we’re in the midst of a pandemic and we need everyone in the state to do their part to combat a surge in COVID-19, said Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. “We will not allow a small percentage of bars and restaurants that disregard mitigation measures to jeopardize public health, and our message is especially important as we head into the New Year’s holiday.”

Earlier on Wednesday, New Jersey State Police Colonel Pat Callahan warned New Jersey residents his agency will be out in force, enforcing Murphy’s executive orders on New Years’ Eve, you can watch that statement in the video below.

Last month, Governor Murphy signed Executive Order No. 194 (2020) (“EO 194”), which, among other things, imposes a 10 p.m. curfew on all indoor food and drink services in the State and prohibits patrons from being seated at an indoor bar at all times. The restrictions were imposed by Governor Murphy in an effort to reduce the sustained close contact that results from patrons seated at indoor bar areas.

Among the 12 bars cited by the Murphy administration, charges stem from violations of EO 194 and/or prior executive orders requiring establishments to limit the number of patrons allowed in indoor areas to 25 percent of the establishment’s indoor capacity; enforce face covering requirements for patrons and employees; prohibit the consumption of food and alcohol by patrons who are not seated at a table; maintain a six-foot minimum distance between dining tables; limit the number of patrons at a table to eight; and enforce social distancing among employees and patrons. During the course of ABC’s compliance checks, some establishments were also charged with ABC violations not related to COVID-19 orders.

Murphy Administration Takes Action Against Clifton Bar Ahead of New Years’ Eve

by Charlie Dwyer
By: Charlie Dwyer

CLIFTON, NJ – The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office has announced that is seeking to suspend the liquor license of Sarina’s Bar in Clifton for violating “Murphy’s Law”, a series of executive orders enacted by Governor Phil Murphy.  According to the Attorney General’s office, Sarina’s Bar allowed patrons to stand in a bar area drinking alcohol without face coverings and exceeding occupancy limits.  The citation comes days before New Years’ Eve by an administration that has made it no secret, they blame bars for COVID-19, despite having shown the public no scientific proof that their decision to shut down bars has stopped the spread of the virus in the state.  That decision by Murphy was a state decision, not suggested or ordered by the CDC.   The state has refused to release raw data to the public during the COVID-19 epidemic that would be helpful by independent auditors to prove or disprove the state’s claims.

by Jeff Jones
By: Jeff Jones

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FL – An Indian River woman was taken into custody after fleeing deputies trying to conduct a traffic stop on her vehicle.  According to police, the driver chooses to drive over five minutes, and two miles while recording a live Facebook video for seven minutes instead of pulling over for authorities.

“Ebony Tommie was driving into her subdivision when seen by Dep. Curby. He attempted to conduct a traffic stop knowing she has a suspended license and an active warrant,” the Indian River Sheriff’s Office said. “Tommie refused to pull over and began driving through South County obeying all traffic laws. While she was doing this, Tommie went live on Facebook.”

She eventually pulled into the Cumberland Farms at 27th Ave. and Oslo Road where she was taken into custody. A similar event took place a few days ago. She was taken to jail and charged with fleeing and eluding police, resisting arrest without violence, operating a vehicle with a suspended license, and failure to appear.

by Charlie Dwyer
By: Charlie Dwyer

JACKSON, NJ – The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office announced that on December 30, 2020, Roberto Alcazar-Sanchez, 27, of Jackson, was charged with Knowingly Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Accident Resulting in Death in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:11-5.1, as well as Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Suspended Driver’s License while being involved in a Motor Vehicle Accident Resulting in Death in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:40-22a, relative to a crash which occurred in Jackson Township during the evening hours of December 24, 2020.

On December 24, 2020, at approximately 6:00 p.m., Officers of the Jackson Township Police Department were summoned to the area of Cedar Swap Road and I-195 for a report of a motor vehicle crash with serious injuries. An investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Vehicular Homicide Unit and Jackson Township Police Department revealed that a 2010 Mercedes Benz, driven by Norman Shtab, 83, of Howell Township, was exiting I-195 at Exit 21. His wife, Phyllis Shtab, 81, also of Howell, was a passenger in the vehicle. As Mr. Shtab was attempting to make a left-hand turn onto Cedar Swap Road, his vehicle collided with a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado.

The driver of the Chevrolet Silverado subsequently fled the scene on foot. Further investigation revealed the driver of the Chevrolet Silverado to be Roberto Alcazar-Sanchez. The passenger in the Silverado, Jose Misael Pementel-Mendoza, 30, of Wrightstown, was transported to Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune Township, where he was treated for his injuries and released.

Mr. and Mrs. Shtab were likewise transported to Jersey Shore Medical Center. Mr. Shtab was treated for his injuries and later released. On December 26, 2020, Mrs. Shtab succumbed to the injuries she sustained as a result of the crash, and was pronounced deceased at Jersey Shore Medical Center on that date.

“Alcazar-Sanchez has not yet been apprehended, and his whereabouts are currently unknown. A warrant has been issued for his arrest, and his name has been placed in the National Crime Information Center database.

Additionally, during the course of this investigation, Alcazar-Sanchez’s girlfriend, Reyna Mendez, 27, of Jackson, was questioned by law enforcement in connection with this matter. It was determined that Mendez provided false information to Detectives during the course of her questioning; as a consequence, she has been charged with Hindering Apprehension or Prosecution in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:29-3a(7). Mendez was charged on a summons and released pending a future court date.

Prosecutor Billhimer acknowledges the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Vehicular Homicide Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Victim Witness Advocacy Unit, Jackson Township Police Department, Jackson Township Police Department Detective Bureau, Jackson Township Police Department Special Emergency Response Team, Brick Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit for their collaborative assistance in connection with this investigation.

A little boy and his dog were abandoned at cemetery days before Christmas

by Dinesh Patel
By: Dinesh Patel

HINCKLEY, OH – The Hinckley Police Department is continuing their investigation of a boy and his dog who were abandoned two days before Christmas in an Ohio cemetery.  On December 23rd, at 12:16 pm the Hinckley Police Department responded to Hope Memorial Gardens Cemetery for a reported abandoned child. Officers arrived, meeting with the witness who advised that she had stopped at the cemetery and observed a medium blue mid-sized car parked semi blocking the drive in the northeast corner of the cemetery. As she drove around the vehicle and stopped, she observed the vehicle drive away at a high rate of speed. It was then that she observed a little boy running after the car followed by a dog. The vehicle left the cemetery and went west on SR303 towards Brunswick.

Police eventually figured out who the boy, named Tony was and handed the child over to protective custody.

“The little boy only knows his first name as Tony. He did tell officers his mom’s name was Katy and his dads name was David. He appears to be about 3 years old, in good physical condition, approximately 3 feet tall, 40lbs, short brown hair and blue eyes,” police said that night, still trying to identify his parents.

While police continued their investigation, calls and requests came in to help the boy have a Merry Christmas.  He was placed with a foster family in Medina County,

“While the investigation is still on going with a lot of questions still unanswered I want to assure everyone that Tony is doing very well in the loving home of a foster family here in Medina County. His Dad has been very cooperative with us and Children Services in the investigation. I will release further information when I can,” said Chief David Centner. “I would like to thank everyone for their kindness in wanting to buy Christmas presents for Tony, take him in and adopt him. You all are amazing people and why we have such a great community here in Hinckley, all of Medina County and beyond. If anyone would like to buy a Christmas present for Tony we will accept them at Hinckley PD and see that they get to him as soon as possible. He is a typical 3 1/2 year old little boy and is a size 4T/5T if that helps.”

The investigation is ongoing.

Adios! ICE returns illegal alien, murderer wanted in El Salvador back to his own country

by Adam Devine
By: Adam Devine

BOSTON — Officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Boston, Massachusetts, removed an unlawfully present Salvadoran national wanted by law enforcement authorities in El Salvador on a homicide charge Friday, December 18.

Marvin Alexander Figueroa-Mazariego, 40, was flown on a charter flight coordinated by ICE Air Operations from Alexandria, Louisiana, to the El Salvador International Airport in San Salvador, El Salvador. Upon arrival, he was turned over to Salvadoran authorities.

“We’re very grateful that together with our HSI partners this dangerous fugitive who sought to avoid justice in his home country was removed from New England,” said Todd M. Lyons, Field Office Director, ERO Boston. “We remain committed to seeking out and removing any illegally present criminal fugitives who think they can evade the law. Our focus will always be on those who continue to pose a potential threat by hiding in our communities in Massachusetts.”

On November 24, 2014, U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) arrested Figueroa at Rio Grande City, Texas, as an alien who entered the United States without being admitted, inspected or paroled by an immigration official.

During 2015 and 2016, Figueroa made several legal attempts to evade being returned to his country, including seeking a stay of removal, which were all rejected. In December, 2016, ERO Houston received information that Figueroa was wanted for murder in El Salvador. In July, 2019, HSI Boston arrested Figueroa at Framingham, Massachusetts.

On December 23, 2019, an immigration judge in Boston, Massachusetts, ordered Figueroa removed to El Salvador. In January, Figueroa filed an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) which was dismissed, October 8; he was removed and handed over to Salvadoran authorities with the support and coordinated team work efforts of ICE ERO San Salvador.

ICE is focused on removing public safety threats, such as convicted criminal aliens and gang members, as well as individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws. In FY 2019, ERO Houston removed 5,497 known or suspected gang members and more than 12,620 aliens with criminal convictions.

Members of the public who have information about foreign fugitives are urged to contact ICE by calling the ICE Tip Line at 1 (866) 347-2423 or internationally at 001-1802-872-6199. They can also file a tip online by completing ICE’s online tip form.

FBI says remains found in Nashville bombing belong to bomber, Anthony Quinn Warner

by Dinesh Patel
By: Dinesh Patel

NASHVILLE, TN – Special Agent in Charge Doug Korneski of the FBI Memphis Field Office today released the results of forensic tests of human remains recovered from the blast site on 2nd Avenue. DNA examinations of tissue samples by both the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, were consistent with those of Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, of Antioch, Tennessee.

A key break in the investigation occurred when the Tennessee Highway Patrol was able to locate and recover the VIN (vehicle identification number) from the suspect’s van. That information, along with crucial tips from the public, led to the home of the suspect in Antioch.

FBI and ATF agents are continuing to recover and analyze evidence. The motive for the incident is still unclear. Leads are still being followed, but at this time, there is no indication that any other individuals are involved.

ATF’s unique resources from the National Center for Explosives Training and Research (NCETR) and the United States Bomb Data were instrumental in providing links to this investigation. Leveraging technology with traditional law enforcement techniques clearly was beneficial in this case.

The ATF’s National Response Team along with the FBI’s Evidence Response Team continue to work seamlessly in the processing of this crime scene. Additionally, the TBI, the Metro Nashville Police Department, and our federal, state, and local partners will continue to work to ensure the safety of Nashvillians.

If you have any images, videos, or other information you may have related to the explosion in downtown Nashville, please visit fbi.gov/nashville. If you do not have an attachment but have information to provide, please submit it at tips.fbi.gov or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

FBI Makes Arrest in 20-year-old Peoria teenage rapes, homicide

by Ryan Dickinson
By: Ryan Dickinson

PHOENIX, AZ – The FBI has arrested a man thought to be the murderer behind several rape incidents involving teenage girls and one brutal murder.  Now, the FBI is asking for members of the public who might have also been victims of this accused serial rapist to come forward.

The Phoenix Police Department, Peoria Police Department, and FBI are asking for the public’s help in seeking potential victims and additional information about an alleged sexual offender and homicide suspect, Lance David Ray.

Ray, 53, was recently arrested in connection with three separate incidents in 2000. In the Peoria incident, it is alleged that Ray kidnapped a 14-year-old, held him at gunpoint, and sexually assaulted him. In the first of the two Phoenix Incidents, the charges allege that Ray kidnapped, bound, and sexually assaulted a 17-year-old at gunpoint. The other incident involved an 18-year-old male victim who was shot and killed after a struggle.

In 2020, D.N.A. evidence linked Ray to these crimes. In October of 2020, Ray was arrested in Bloomington, Indiana, where he was visiting. He was extradited to Phoenix and booked into the Maricopa County Jail. The investigation is ongoing, and it is believed that additional victims may exist.

Ray lived in the San Francisco, California, area in the early 1990s before moving to Portland, Oregon, in 1993. Ray resided in Oregon, Washington, and California until 1999, when Ray moved to Phoenix, Arizona, from 1999 to 2003. Ray then resided in California again from 2003 to 2017 before moving to St. Louis, Missouri, in 2017.

If you believe you or someone you know may have information regarding Lance David Ray, please e-mail [email protected] or call 1-800-CALL-FBI. In your e-mail please provide your name, date of birth, phone number, and address.

We would like to thank all of our partners who have helped in this investigation, including FBI St. Louis, FBI Los Angeles, and FBI Indianapolis.

Last man to share a prison cell with Jeffrey Epstein dies from COVID-19

by Conservative Times
By: Conservative Times

If Jeffery Epstein was found dead from an apparent suicide in his prison cell today, one might argue it was COVID-19.  It might even be reported as such, but the circumstances of the pedo-island billionaire’s death will probably forever be the subject of conspiracy theories.  Now, it has been reported that Epstein’s last prison cellmate has also died.  Efrain Reyes died from COVID-19 last month, the Daily News reported.

“Reyes, 51, was found dead in bed on Nov. 27 at his mother’s apartment, the NYPD confirmed. In August 2019 he shared a cell with Epstein, only to be transferred to the privately-run Queens Detention Facility the day before the accused sex trafficker hanged himself, according to his family and Bureau of Prisons records. Reyes’s niece, Angelique Lopez, said Epstein was paired with her uncle because he had a bad leg and was mild mannered,” the newspaper said.

Watch Joe Biden Call Her “President-Elect Harris” on Tuesday

by Conservative Times
By: Conservative Times

Joe Biden is forgetful. No matter how much Facebook and Snopes fact check any claims saying this, the evidence is overwhelming. On Tuesday, Vice-President-Elect Kamala Harris received the COVID-19 vaccine and later that day, on queue, President-Elect Joe Biden called Harris, “President-Elect” again.   Earlier this week, President Trump mocked Biden’s forgetfulness, saying, “I never once called him President Mike Pence, I mean, who does that?”

Report claims 7,000 tons of non-biodegradable face masks will pollute world’s oceans

by Breaking Local News Report
By: Breaking Local News Report

A report published this month by OceansAsia claims over 7,000 tons of non-recyclable, non-biodegradable single-use medical facemasks will litter the world’s oceans after the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.  The report, entitled “Masks on the Beach” was written by Dr. Teal Phelps Bondaroff, Director of Research for OceansAsia and Sam Cooke, Research Associate for the organization.

According to the report, single-use face masks are made from a variety of meltblown plastics and are difficult to recycle due to both composition and risk of contamination and infection. These masks enter our oceans when they are littered or otherwise improperly discarded, when waste management systems are inadequate or non-existent, or when these systems become overwhelmed due to increased volumes of waste.

“The number of masks entering the environment on a monthly basis as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is staggering. From a global production projection of 52 billion masks for 2020, we estimate that 1.56 billion masks will enter our oceans in 2020, amounting to between 4,680 and 6,240 metric tonnes of plastic pollution,” Dr. Bondaroff said.

“Action at every possible level is needed to address the serious threat posed by marine plastic pollution. When possible, individuals should choose to wear reusable masks and masks made from sustainable materials. Masks should always be disposed of responsibly. In general, individuals should strive to reduce their consumption of unnecessary single-use plastic, purchase from companies that offer these alternatives, and encourage other companies to reduce their use of plastic,” the report says.

Newly elected Congressman dies from COVID-19, documented final days of treatment

by Conservative Times
By: Conservative Times

Luke Letlow, 41, a Republican who was just elected by the people of Louisiana to represent their state in Congress has died of COVID-19.  Ten days ago, Lutlow let his constituents know he had tested positive for COVID-19.

“I have tested positive for COVID-19. I’m at home resting, following all CDC guidelines, quarantine protocols, and the recommendations of my doctors,” Lutlow posted on December 18th.

Three days later, Lutlow found himself in St. Francis Hospital, praising the public for their blood and plasma donations. He seemed in decent spirits while he underwent his treatment for COVID-19.

“I am currently undergoing treatment for COVID-19 at St. Francis Hospital by a wonderful team of doctors and nurses. I am confident that with their help I will be on the mend soon. I also believe strongly in the power of prayer, and our family has been blessed by a praying army of people,” he wrote on December 21st. “While here, I’ve learned firsthand how important plasma and blood donations are during this pandemic. For those who’ve had Covid already, your plasma is ESPECIALLY needed by those who are suffering. I cannot stress this enough. Please consider saving lives by going out and donating at your local blood bank. It may very well be the gift of life that you are giving a family this Christmas.”

Two days later, Letlow was transferred to Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport Academic Medical Center and it was reported that he was in stable condition by Dr. G.E. Ghali, Chancellor of LSU Health Shreveport.  Ghali said Letlow had begun a treatment consisting of Remdesivir and steroids.

Lutlow’s wife Julie announced Sunday morning that things might not be going well for the newly elected Congressman.

“While Luke continues his treatment and remains in stable condition, the doctors have told us the road to recovery and the length of time is hard to predict and different for everyone,” she said.

On Tuesday, Lutlow passed away.  In just 10 days, the virus had taken the ultimate toll on the Congressman-elect.  Letlow is survived by his wife, Julia Barnhill Letlow, PhD., and two young children.
