A man on Missouri’s death row who killed his cousin and her husband 18 years ago was executed on Tuesday.
Brian Dorsey, 52, apologized to his family for his crimes just before he was put to death, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/09/us-news/brian-dorsey-executed-18-years-after-killing-cousin-her-husband/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
“To all of the family and loved ones I share with Sarah and to all of the surviving family and loved ones of Ben, I am totally, deeply, overwhelmingly sorry,” he wrote, according to the outlet. “Words cannot hold the just weight of my guilt and shame. I still love you. I never wanted to hurt anyone. I am sorry I hurt them and you.”
Dorsey was sentenced to lethal injection in 2006 after he was convicted of murdering his cousin, Sarah, and her husband, Ben Bonnie, just before Christmas. The killings left the couple’s four-year-old daughter without parents.
Dorsey had asked the Bonnies for money after claiming two drug dealers were demanding he pay his debts, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/brian-dorsey-missouri-execution-rcna147113" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The couple brought Dorsey back to their home on December 23, 2006, to let him stay over, but he grabbed their shotgun and killed them both.
Their young daughter was home but wasn’t harmed.
Dorsey pleaded guilty to the murders but a jury was brought in for sentencing, resulting in the death penalty. The jury found seven aggravating factors that led to its recommendation of death, including the fact that Dorsey sexually assaulted Sarah’s body after shooting her. After the murders, Dorsey stole several items from the home to pay off his drug debt, the Post reported.
Sometime later, Sarah’s parents stopped by the home to check on the couple, who had only been married for one year. In the home, they found the couple’s little girl sitting on the couch watching TV. She told her grandparents that her mother “won’t wake up.”
Dorsey turned himself in three days after the murders.

Dorsey previously apologized for his crimes, NBC reported, saying he had been in a drug-induced psychosis at the time. He appealed his sentence but was denied two appeals by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Prison officials also wrote to Gov. Mike Parson, a Republican, to spare Dorsey’s life, calling him a “model inmate” and explaining how he cut the warden’s hair after being allowed to work as a barber. Parson denied the request.
The Missouri Department of Corrections <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/missouri-death-row-inmate-killed-cousin-husband-2006-executed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News that Dorsey died quickly after he was lethally injected. He was pronounced dead at 6:11 p.m. on April 9, 2024.

The Missouri Senate approved a constitutional amendment to ban non-U.S. citizens from voting and also ban ranked-choice voting.
The bill, <a href="https://link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com/ls/click?upn=u001.TDVbDwTMVTya0PSBJ1a4MQnR-2B-2FNuUJiSEA2lrCFn46j-2FIDAamIGeSgKq0-2B3hCY8ffPDAPsVGK9EyxMTRAmCc5YHat-2FT3cwqBwERuAnGhoZcst0Vdt6-2BYIJVlZfB1-2FTMAvYqw_03HZEuPE3hkcx2fMUSyQ63zYk0dEzg0x5dq45YpE12w9VZ7X5-2BCSHojkEG5GhTxSle-2F-2FwMBoKNe-2BuqqZvGNsPU11Pt7BR7BtKy7zuoGTtIJKs2JC-2F-2BvJIVNmtYX-2BKQvJo8JguhhpsnpgMG-2BMxCI1lDNk-2F-2B0U7avgNGjc9NSmVE7uOF-2B8z5z-2B3PZqtKdVsil0z79KkCgwp00hXEP-2FM5Km7NKcGtDRF5IP-2BHE90VgrGxpLAkCH7gNZ0GkvynNqqpU4LaDeInSnlgqxI73W-2FWhTGyo3Sb0a2RY-2Fet-2Fqbnx6G4rZ-2BHXSyJXuvrhZ3HppY7OUOLqPisJaqvXkDCtSIcm9S3BiTWAA4KHZjiPPkyG-2BTZyGLgHtqneCYzXNWHKPHHUS" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SJR 78</a>, if passed by the Missouri House, would present the amendment on the November ballot.
“The amendment provides that only citizens of the United States over the age of 18 who are residents of Missouri and of the political subdivision in which they offer to vote are entitled to vote at all elections,” the bill states. “This amendment specifies that all elections shall be by paper ballot or by any mechanical method prescribed by law. Furthermore, voters shall only be entitled to one vote for each issue on the ballot and the same amount of votes for each office as there are seats to be filled at the election. Under no circumstance shall a voter be permitted to cast a ballot in a manner that results in the ranking of candidates for a particular office.”
“The candidate that receives the greatest number of votes in a political party primary shall be the only candidate for that political party at the general election,&#8221; the bill continues. &#8220;The name of such candidate shall be placed on the official ballot at the general election, unless removed or replaced as provided by law.&#8221;
“Especially at a time when illegal aliens are flooding our country at historic levels, it’s incumbent upon lawmakers to protect the right to vote and ensure that only U.S. citizens decide the outcome of U.S. elections,” former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli stated, <a href="https://electiontransparency.org/2024/04/09/missouri-senate-passes-constitutional-amendment-banning-foreign-citizen-voting-ranked-choice-voting-house-must-follow-suit/">according</a> to the Election Transparency Initiative. “All the while, anti-Election Integrity megadonors are financing a nationwide campaign to promote the disastrous Ranked-Choice Voting scheme intended to cement Left-wing power for generations to come—it must always be rejected.”
“Year after year, Missouri has been targeted by the Left in their goal to overthrow elections,” Spencer Bone, the Executive Director of Liberty Alliance USA, stated. “The Left-wing activists pushing both ranked-choice and noncitizen voting want to dismantle the political party system, so Conservatives NEVER have a voice. The passage of SJR 78 is a major step forward in stopping the Left’s mission to overthrow our elections. The Senate has delivered, now it’s time for the House to do the same. It’s time for them to step up, hold the line, and finish the job.&#8221;
Jason Snead, the Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action and Chair of the Stop RCV coalition, echoed:
<blockquote>
At every turn, so-called progressives have attempted to impose Ranked-Choice Voting and non-citizen voting on voters in order to push American politics to the Left. The Senate took an aggressive stand against these tactics by taking these issues directly to the people of Missouri.
Ranked-Choice Voting will not solve any problems. Instead, it will cause them. It will create confusion with voters, make it harder on election officials to do their job, and ensure that election results are difficult to understand and trust. It is so complicated and confusing that numerous cities across America have tried it and repealed it. Nevertheless, the nation’s biggest Left-wing donors are spending tens of millions to change the rules of elections to benefit themselves by instituting Ranked-Choice Voting and non-citizen voting.

Members of the Missouri Freedom Caucus read Daily Wire host Matt Walsh’s children’s book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Johnny-Walrus-Matt-Walsh/dp/1956007059" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johnny the Walrus</a>” after Democratic officials in the state read a book that promoted transgenderism to children for “National Reading Day.”
A video posted to X by the popular account Libs of TikTok earlier this month showed the Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas, city officials, and council members reading “Introducing Teddy: A Gentle Story about Gender and Friendship.”
The LGBTQ book is written for children between the ages of 3 and 6 and focuses on a boy, Errol, and his teddy bear friend, Thomas. In the story, Thomas tells Errol that he feels like a “girl teddy,” and wishes his name was “Tilly.” Errol tells Thomas he “doesn’t care” if he’s “a girl teddy or a boy teddy. What matters is that you are my friend.” Thomas then puts his bowtie in his hair because he’s “always wanted a bow instead.”

Republican Missouri state Sen. Rick Brattin, along with members of the Missouri Freedom Caucus, responded to the Kansas City government officials’ video on Friday by posting a video of lawmakers reading Walsh’s bestselling children’s book.
“Recently, the Kansas City mayor and his goons are reading books to groom children, and we’re here to set the record straight and put a stop to this nonsense,” Brattin said. “And we’re going to do this by reading ‘Johnny the Walrus.’”

“The message of self-acceptance when I was a kid was the most common message in books we read,” the Daily Wire host said. “Except now on the Left, what they foist on kids is this false self-acceptance of actually rejecting who you really are in favor of a delusion.”

The 21-year-old singer had previously announced her “Fund 4 Good” initiative, per <a href="https://variety.com/2024/music/news/olivia-rodrigo-plan-b-condoms-contraceptives-concert-1235940694/">Variety</a>, which she said, “works to support all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health freedom.” Rodrigo promised to donate a portion of all ticket sales for her “Guts” tour to Fund 4 Good and also said she had partnered with the National Network of Abortion Funds. 
&#8220;Supporting abortion funds has never been more critical, in an era where abortion access is under relentless attack,&#8221; NNAF executive director Oriaku Njoku told USA TODAY in a <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/02/29/olivia-rodrigo-guts-tour-abortion-fund-donations/72793921007/">statement</a>. &#8220;We are excited to be in partnership with Olivia Rodrigo, as she&#8217;s uplifting the critical work of abortion funds, and leading (her fans) into the movement towards reproductive freedom!&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/missouri" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Missouri</a> Attorney General Andrew Bailey called for a 15-year-old girl to be charged as an adult after video of her went viral this week showing her viciously beating another girl.
The St. Louis County Police Department reportedly got a call about a fight around 2:30 p.m. on Friday and when they arrived on scene, they discovered the victim with a severe head injury. The victim was transferred to a nearby hospital where she <a href="https://www.firstalert4.com/2024/03/12/st-louis-county-police-investigating-whether-bomb-threat-hazelwood-east-is-connected-viral-fight-video/">remains</a> in critical condition, according to her mother.
&#8220;This evil and complete disregard for human life has no place in Missouri, or anywhere,&#8221; said Attorney General Andrew Bailey. &#8220;I am praying for the victim. The criminal should be charged and tried as an adult. If the victim dies, that offense should rise to a homicide.&#8221;
The <a href="https://twitter.com/RadioGenoa/status/1766782359548940577" target="_blank" rel="noopener">footage</a> shows a black girl, who appears to have a significant size advantage, throw a white girl on the ground and start to viciously beat in the victim’s face with her fist.
The victim tries to get away from the attacker, but the attacker grabs her on the ground and throws her on her back against the pavement. At that point, the attacker grabs the girl’s shoulders and repeatedly slams her head into the pavement, causing life threatening injuries, as other individuals stand around and watch and record the attack with their cell phones.
A GoFundMe <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/kaylee-on-her-road-to-recovery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a> that was set up for the victim by a local family friend on Tuesday afternoon said that the victim had a fractured skull, frontal lobe damage, and major brain bleeding. The organizer didn&#8217;t immediately respond to a Daily Wire inquiry.

Police Arrest Teen After Video Shows Horrifying Attack

Two Republican attorneys general secured a legal win on Friday in their effort to block the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden administration</a> from redirecting federal funds designated for build a border wall. 
Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas and Attorney General Andrew Bailey of Missouri were granted a preliminary injunction from U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton to block the Biden administration from using funds appropriated by Congress for a border wall for other purposes. 
“Today, I secured a preliminary injunction against an attempt by the Biden Administration to illegally redirect statutorily obligated funds away from the construction of a border wall,” Paxton <a href="https://twitter.com/KenPaxtonTX/status/1766258390706098284" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> to X on Friday. “Biden acted completely improperly by refusing to spend the money that Congress appropriated for border wall construction, and even attempting to redirect those funds. His actions demonstrate his desperation for open borders at any cost, but Texas has prevailed.”
The case focused on roughly $1.4 billion that was appropriated by Congress in 2020 and 2021 for the construction of a border wall. President Joe Biden issued an order on the day he was inaugurated pausing the funds from being used for that purpose, and the Department of Homeland Security subsequently came up with two plans for alternative ways to use the money. 
The Biden administration was then sued separately by the Texas Land Commission and the states of Missouri and Texas before the case was consolidated under one lawsuit. The plaintiffs asked for an injunction to stop the implementation of Biden&#8217;s &#8220;proclamation and to order DHS to obligate the funds that have been congressionally appropriated for the construction of a barrier system at the Southwest border,” Tipton <a href="https://ago.mo.gov/wp-content/uploads/GLO-v.-Biden-Border-Wall-Order-and-Judgment.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
“DHS argues in response that, notwithstanding the language in the statute, an injunction would be inappropriate because the challenged spending decisions are committed to its discretion,” Tipton added. “The Court disagrees. Whether the Executive Branch must adhere to federal laws is not, as a general matter, an area traditionally left to its discretion. And without that discretion, DHS’s spending decisions run afoul of the APA [Administrative Procedures Act].”
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1710096758317000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3iaq6q-Qs351snTwJA_ODg">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Tipton ordered the Biden administration to stop its plan to allocate the funds for any other purpose than the construction of physical barriers like additional wall, fencing, or buoys. 
“The Biden Administration has failed to abide by the law to finish the construction of a wall along the southwest border,” Bailey <a href="https://ago.mo.gov/attorney-general-bailey-obtains-court-order-blocking-joe-biden-from-illegally-diverting-funds-away-from-building-the-border-wall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Joe Biden refuses to carry out his constitutionally mandated responsibilities, so we took him to court to force him to do his job. This is a huge step forward in the fight to secure our border at a key moment in our nation’s history.”

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced a lawsuit against <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/planned-parenthood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Planned Parenthood</a> on Thursday, accusing the organization of trafficking young girls for out-of-state abortions. 
The announcement of the suit against Planned Parenthood Great Plains comes after Project Veritas released a <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/news/planned-parenthood-part-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> of Planned Parenthood workers appearing to say that they would help a young girl get an abortion in Kansas without her parent’s knowledge. 
“This is the beginning of the end for Planned Parenthood in the State of Missouri. What they conceal and conspire to do in the dark of night has now been uncovered. I am filing suit to ensure it never happens again,” Bailey said in a statement. “As a father who held my daughter in my arms for the single hour of her life before she died, I know firsthand how important it is to protect life. Our children are the future. It is time to eradicate Planned Parenthood once and for all to end this pattern of abhorrent, unethical, and illegal behavior.”
The suit references a November 2023 undercover video from Project Veritas where a man posing as the uncle of a 13-year-old girl asks several Planned Parenthood employees how to get an abortion for his niece. The Planned Parenthood workers appeared willing to help, saying that Planned Parenthood in Kansas could pick up a girl and take her for an abortion. 
The workers told the Project Veritas investigator that he would need a “bypass” if he was trying get the girl to have an abortion without the parents&#8217; knowledge. One said that a bypass meant “just not letting the parents know.” 
The Planned Parenthood employees also said they could create doctor&#8217;s notes to get the girl out of class even if the school didn’t agree and they could cut off their Planned Parenthood letterhead so it doesn’t “say where she was.” 
“The surreptitiously recorded video revealed that Planned Parenthood removes minors from school using altered doctors’ notes, transports them into Kansas for abortions, and then quickly returns them — all to avoid parents finding out,” the lawsuit says. “Violating the &#8216;deeply rooted&#8217; right of parents and the laws of Missouri, Planned Parenthood is inducing minors into making life-changing — and life-ending — decisions without parental consent.”

One of the two adults charged with second-degree murder in the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting has been released from the hospital and was booked at the Jackson County Detention Center.
The 23-year-old black male, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, was treated for gunshot wounds. He is accused of starting an argument with a group of people during the parade last week before he pulled out a gun and began firing, <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/707190414/Chiefs-rally-shooting-charging-documents#from_embed">according to charging documents</a>. People in the group arguing with the suspect then allegedly pulled out guns and shot back. An adult male from the group that was allegedly shooting back has also been charged with second-degree murder. 
Police believe a bullet from the second suspect’s gun struck and killed 43-year-old mother Lisa Lopez-Galvan. 
The murder suspect who has been released from the hospital has a bandage on the right side of his face in his <a href="https://komonews.com/news/nation-world/kansas-city-parade-shooting-tragedy-suspect-released-from-hospital-admits-regret-kc-shooting-lyndell-mays-dominic-miller-lisa-lopez-galvan-jackson-county" target="_blank" rel="noopener">booking photo</a>. According to court documents, the suspect pulled out his gun and began chasing someone before shooting at him. The 23-year-old man told investigators he was “just being stupid,” court documents stated. 
&#8220;Stupid, man. Just pulled a gun out and started shooting,” he said, according to the documents. “I shouldn&#8217;t have done that. Just being stupid.” 
The family of the suspect created a GoFundMe for him while he was in the hospital, saying that he needed help getting through a &#8220;tragic time&#8221; following the shooting, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/02/21/us-news/family-of-kansas-city-shooting-suspect-set-up-gofundme-for-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The fundraiser reportedly raised $100, but it has since been deleted.
Missouri prosecutors announced on Tuesday that two adult males were arrested and charged with murder in the Super Bowl parade shooting where one person was killed and 22 others were injured. Each of the male adults is charged with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, according to Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker. Both suspects are being held on $1 million bond. Two juveniles also face gun-related and resisting arrest charges in the shooting. 
Baker added on Tuesday that others who were involved in the shooting would be held accountable.

&#8220;We seek to hold every shooter accountable for their actions on that day. Every single one,&#8221; the prosecutor said. &#8220;So while we’re not there yet on every single individual, we’re going to get there.&#8221;

A Kansas City Chiefs fan is looking to set the record straight after photos of him in handcuffs spread on social media following the shooting at the team’s Super Bowl parade last week.
Denton Loudermill of Olathe, Kansas, addressed the public with LaRonna Lassiter Saunders, a lawyer advocating on his behalf, in a press conference that was posted to social media over the weekend, KSHB <a href="https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/parade-shooting/lets-let-the-truth-go-viral-olathe-man-wants-to-clear-name-after-being-wrongly-identified-as-rally-shooter">reported</a>. The father of three and Saunders allege that “misinformation” spread online accusing Loudermill of being a gunman behind the Kansas City mass shooting. 
&#8220;I just want to clear my name that I had nothing to do with anything,&#8221; Loudermill said, adding, &#8220;I was just enjoying myself like everybody else, but other than that, I was out there not to harm anybody. I was just enjoying the parade like everybody else.&#8221;
Pictures of Loudermill in handcuffs spread on social media after the shooting, with some posts even <a href="https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/1758215011913118073" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> that the Kansas native is an illegal immigrant. Saunders said during the press conference that Loudermill was detained after having “several drinks” and was then released by police without a citation. 
“Mr. Denton had several drinks, but so did a half million other people, including some of the Chiefs players,” Saunders said. “It&#8217;s not a crime. It doesn&#8217;t make you a mass shooter.” 
“Mr. Denton has received death threats over a lie, over misinformation,” Saunders added. “He didn’t do anything wrong. He did not commit a crime. So please, run, tell that. Get the truth out there. Help us clear his name. Help us save his life.”

The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department told KSHB, “There were many people detained at one time or another on Wednesday.” 
“Some of the detainments could result in future charges unrelated to the shooting. No one who is believed to be involved in the shooting has been released,” the police department added.

Authorities are holding two juveniles, who remain unidentified, on gun-related and resisting arrest charges in connection to the shooting. One person was killed, and more than 20 people, including 11 children, were injured. Police identified Lisa Lopez-Galvan as the victim who died from her gunshot wounds. Lopez-Galvan was a DJ for a Kansas City radio station and the mother of two children.  
Saunders said that she and Loudermill want the attention following the shooting to be on pursuing justice for Lopez-Galvan and her family. 
&#8220;We want to focus on how great of a person she was and not spend our time letting lies, and misinformation, and bigotry and hatred spread,&#8221; she said.

Kansas Man Speaks Out After He Was Wrongly Accused Of Being Suspected KC Parade Shooter: ‘I Just Want To Clear My Name’

false accusations

Kansas City, Missouri, Democratic Mayor Quinton Lucas condemned his Republican governor’s description of the Kansas City parade shooting suspects, arguing that calling them “thugs” is a racial “dog whistle.” 
After the shooting at the Chiefs Super Bowl celebration that killed one person and injured more than 20 others — including 11 children — last week, Governor Mike Parson (R-MO) said, “We can’t let some thugs and criminals take over and ruin what happened.” 
“It’s just sad. I was there yesterday. I feel for these parents, these kids, everything that went on, it was such a wonderful day and then all of a sudden you end with that,” Parson added. 
During an appearance on the KCUR radio show &#8220;Up to Date&#8221; on Friday, Lucas said he strongly disagreed with Parson’s description of the suspects, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kansas-city-mayor-accuses-governor-racial-dog-whistle-calling-super-bowl-parade-shooters-thugs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. 
&#8220;I have respect for the governor. We get along well,&#8221; Lucas said. &#8220;I disagree strongly with how he would describe that situation. I certainly do think this was criminal activity. It was lawlessness, and I think that that&#8217;s troubling. But ‘thugs’ is a dog whistle in the most classic sense.&#8221;
Lucas, who is black, then slammed “conservative” theories on social media, alleging that authorities and the media are keeping the suspects’ identities under wraps because they are black. 
&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen this dog whistle time and again,” the mayor added. “There&#8217;s this kind of giant conservative theory on social media now that the reason these mug shots haven&#8217;t been shown is because the purported defendants are black, and if it were a white defendant we would have just shown them. That is absolutely preposterous. There are protections to juveniles.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
That theory was also suggested by conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who said on “Real Time with Bill Maher” last week that “if it were a white man shooting, we’d know.”

“The longer they go without telling you, it’s not a white male,” Coulter added, an argument to which Maher pushed back. 
“For right now, as of Friday night, February 16, we don’t officially know,” Maher said. “Ok, you know because you have special powers.”

A third unidentified minor was let go on Thursday after investigators determined that person was not involved in the shooting, according to a Kansas City Police Department spokesman. 
Kansas City, Missouri, Police Chief Stacey Graves <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kc-shooting-had-no-nexus-to-terrorism-appeared-to-be-dispute-between-several-people-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at a news conference last Thursday that authorities’ initial findings on the shooting “have shown there was no nexus to terrorism or homegrown violent extremism.”
“This appeared to be a dispute between several people that ended in gunfire,” she said.
