You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?

It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,

from the beautiful to the repugnant,

You have been warned.

SALEM, OR (The Oregonian) – Three teens were killed in Salem on Sunday after their car was hit by a Jeep driver who police say sped through a red light while driving with blood alcohol content three times the legal drinking limit.

The crash around 11:30 p.m. near Salem Parkway and Cherry Avenue Northeast killed Trinity Watt, 19, of Salem; Madison Capobianco, 19, of Salem; and Makayla Tryon, 18, of Keizer. The driver of the Jeep, Juan C. Rodriguez Palacios, remained at the scene with his passenger and both were later taken to a hospital.

Rodriguez Palacios’s blood alcohol content was determined to be .239 percent, Salem police said. Rodriguez Palacios, 25, of Salem was later arrested and booked into the Marion County Correctional Facility on accusations of first-degree manslaughter, driving under the influence, third-degree assault, reckless endangering and reckless driving.

The Jeep Wrangler was heading northeast on Salem Parkway when it crashed into the southeast-bound Toyota Camry, police said. The three women in the Toyota died at the scene.

Police haven’t released any details on the injuries Rodriguez Palacios and his passenger sustained. No charges have been announced by police for the passenger.

All three of the teens have been students at Roberts High School, an alternative school program with sites in Salem and Keizer, according to Salem-Keizer School District spokeswoman Lillian Govus.

Tryon graduated with a GED during the 2016-2017 school year. Watt and Capobianco had previously been enrolled at the school’s Chemeketa Community College site. Capobianco was enrolled as a student at Chemeketa Community College through the spring.

Rodriguez Palacios was involved in another drunken driving incident in June 2015. According to...

Legal immigrant professor says Illegal immigrants can hurt US economy; now he’s on the chopping block

Thanks to left-wing insanity run amok, it’s now apparently socially unacceptable and racist for even a legal immigrant from China to complain about the drawbacks of illegal immigration.

Meet Fang Zhou, an associate professor of history at Georgia Gwinnett College near Atlanta who’s unabashedly opposed to illegal immigration:

He recently posted some online remarks about illegal immigration and politics in general that piqued the attention of Democrat state Rep. Bee Nguyen. In a tweet posted Wednesday, she shared a screenshot of some of these remarks and complained of his alleged bigotry.

“While we celebrate the passage of the Dream Act, this @GeorgiaGwinnett professor uses hostile terms ‘ghetto thugs,’ ‘libtards,’ & spreads false narratives about immigrants,” she wrote. “Are these the values supported by Georgia Gwinnett College?”

While the full context of his quotes remain unclear, it appears Zhou had been rebutting someone who’d complained about his politically incorrect rhetoric on illegal immigration.

“I am against political correctness. I speak truth to power in class and my students learn about the financial drain of illegal immigration on the economy and the high crime rates of illegal immigrants. My students are ‘woke’ and are overwhelmingly against illegal immigration after taking my class,” he wrote.

Look at Nguyen’s tweet below:

Speaking with the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution afterward, she suggested that Zhou should be fired. Pushing for the termination or deplatforming of conservatives is a common left-wing tactic.

“I have concerns about him teaching those things in a classroom,” she said, adding that 70 percent of Georgia Gwinnett College’s students are either black, Asian or Hispanic.

It’s unclear what the students’ race has to do with illegal immigration …

Judging by the replies she’s received on social media, not many agree with her.

Look:

Some do agree, however.

“He should be fired. His rhetoric is disturbing and should be nowhere near a classroom,” a user named “Furflake” (versus snowflake …) whined.

“He’s awful! I reported him and sent screen shots of his harassment and received a canned response from the university president. He also brags about recruiting his students to volunteer for...
