Arizona rancher will not be retried for murder following hung jury in deadly shooting of illegal alien: ‘Nightmare is over’

The elderly Arizona rancher whose murder trial recently resulted in a hung jury will not be retried, prosecutors said.

In January 2023, 48-year-old Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, a Mexican national who had been deported from the U.S. multiple times after he crossed the border illegally, was found shot to death on the property of 75-year-old George Alan Kelly. Kelly owns 170 acres of land near Nogales, Arizona, which is across the border from Nogales, Mexico. 

Kelly was the person who found Cuen-Buitimea’s body and called police to report it. Kelly admitted to firing several warning shots into the air earlier that day after he spotted a group of men armed with AK-47s invading his property but insisted that none of the warning shots could have possibly hit anyone, Daniel Horowitz, host of “Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz,” reported shortly after Kelly’s arrest.

Kelly was ultimately charged with second-degree murder. He had previously refused a plea deal that would have convicted him of one count of negligent homicide.

At Kelly’s trial earlier this month, his attorney, Brenna Larkin, noted that the bullet which killed Cuen-Buitimea was never recovered and argued that Cuen-Buitimea’s unzipped backpack and broken buckle suggested that he had been the victim of robbery gone wrong, the Arizona Daily Star reported.

Most jurors seem to have been persuaded by Kelly’s defense. After two days of deliberations, they could not come to a unanimous decision in the case, and on April 22, Santa Cruz County Superior Court Judge Thomas Fink officially declared a mistrial. Of the five men and three women on the jury, seven had voted to acquit, leaving “one, lone holdout” voting to convict, a statement from Kelly’s defense team said.

Outside the courthouse, Kelly told reporters the “nightmare is over” and expressed condolences to Cuen-Buitimea’s loved ones.

Finally justice has been served. We must be allowed to protect our property and our lives from illegals coming into our country. Rh

Democrat Representatives Wave Ukrainian Flags on House Floor After Voting to Give Them Another $60.8 Billion

By Cassandra MacDonald Apr. 

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna told the Democrats who were kissing up to Ukraine and waving foreign flags on our soil after unanimously voting to send Ukraine another $60 billion to “put those damn flags away” on Saturday.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday, The House of Representatives passed three bills to hand out money to Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and other non-U.S. involved conflict zones around the world — with nothing for Americans.

All of the 112 “Nay” votes came from Republicans. Every single Democrat voted to send an additional $60 BILLION of taxpayer money to secure a foreign border.

The Democrats then began to pledge their allegiance to Ukraineupon passage, waving a foreign flag in the United States House of Representatives and chanting for “UKRAINE!”

This prompted Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to seek recognition and exclaim “put those damn flags away!”

Republicans in the House of Representatives led by speaker Mike Johnson are absolutely worthless. Isn’t it time that we did something for the United States of America, but no we send billions of dollars to Ukraine, why I do believe Washington’s ruling class loves Ukraine far more than it loves the United States of America. That’s my tax money!! Rh

Movina Rostami, an outstanding Iranian volleyball player, wrote on her Instagram: As an Iranian, I am really ashamed of the regime’s attack on Israel, but you should know that the people of Iran love Israel and hate the Islamic Republic.

This morning she was arrested and God only knows what will happen to her.

Movina Rostami is a heroic and brave woman who reflects the Iranian people who are enslaved under the hand of the evil and terrorist regime of the Ayatollahs.

How much courage, how much truth.

I have one thing to say to the Iranian people, to the prizes kidnapped by Khomeini’s terrorist organization. It’s a matter of time, really soon! Reported by Amir Tsarfati

As is the case everywhere, even in America, it’s the government leadership that pushes division and ultimately war. Rh

      Gen Z Females Abandoning the Church

The cultural issues of the day are fascinating to me.  Part of what Moral Conservative strives to do is take current events and put them into the perspective of the end time scenarios.  What moves segments of the population and why. There is a troubling trend of young Gen Z (born from 1997-2012), leaving the church

 in droves.  In my opinion the biggest problem of this exodus from the church is a lack of moral fortitude to present not only a true Biblical Worldview, but also lackluster and timid Biblical preaching and teaching.  The Church is in  war and that war must be won by those who know their God and are able to fight and defend the principles of their faith.  Our battles are fought in the spiritual realm.  

Unfortunately the rise of the liberal agenda and the promotion of all things gender specific is a main culprit. Let’s take a look at some statistics.

54% of female Gen Z ages 12-27 have left the church for the following reasons:

65% because of unfair treatment of women

47% of LGBTQ mistreatment

30% identify as some form of LGBTQ (more on that later)

61% are feminist 

Over 50% want NO limits on abortion

In simple terms liberals and gender fluidity are important to this group of young women.

Let’s talk a moment about what I call the “Gender Mafia”.  Speak ill of this new religion and one can be quickly canceled or called a narrow minded hateful bigot.  Proud to say I have been identified as that on many occasions.  This new religion that seems to be sweeping the world might just be the old Babylonian goddess of Ishtar.  Part of Ishtar’s popularity was that she was one of the original female deities of the Mesopotamian pantheon.  She was often credited as being a goddess of love, sex, and fertility.  After all, what better role model than this ancient goddess of love and sex for our you liberal feminist to worship.  If you think I am being too harsh, just think back to a few years ago when pro abortion women were screaming at the top of their lungs in front of the Supreme Court for the “right” to kill their unborn child.

IDF withdraws all troops from southern Gaza 

Only one brigade remains in the Strip; terrorists in Khan Yunis fire rocket barrage at Israeli towns.

(April 7, 2024 / JNS)

The Israel Defense Forces has withdrawn all ground troops from the southern Gaza Strip, with only one brigade remaining in the coastal enclave, according to reports on Sunday.

This comes after four months of fighting in the former Hamas stronghold of Khan Yunis and six months since the start of the war.

According to IDF sources on Sunday, the IDF’s 98th Division has concluded its mission in Khan Yunis. The division left the Gaza Strip to recuperate and prepare for future operations. A significant force led by the 162nd Division and the division’s Nahal Brigade continues to operate in the Gaza Strip, and will preserve the IDF’s freedom of action and its ability to conduct precise intelligence-based operations, the sources said.

The move also comes after last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again reiterated that the IDF would defeat Hamas by entering the last terrorist stronghold of Rafah, south of Khan Yunis.

“There is no victory without entering Rafah; there is no victory without destroying the Hamas battalions there,” said Netanyahu in a primetime address, adding that the operation “will take time, but it will happen.”

Ben-Gvir: Biden sides with Tlaib, Sinwar over Netanyahu 

The national security minister told The New York Times that the US president is “enormously mistaken” to pressure Israel over its military campaign against Hamas. 

JOSHUA MARKS JEWISH NEWS SERVICE

(March 27, 2024 / JNS)

Israel’s National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir has accused U.S. President Joe Biden of siding with the enemies of the Jewish state.

During an interview with The New York Times published on Tuesday, Ben-Gvir said, “Presently, Biden prefers the line of [Palestinian-American Democratic Representative from Michigan] Rashida Tlaib and [Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya] Sinwar to the line of [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir.”

While the Biden administration provided unwavering early support for Jerusalem in the wake of the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, including Biden becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit Israel during wartime, Washington has taken an increasingly critical stance as the ground war against Hamas in Gaza enters its sixth month.

This culminated on Monday with the Americans deciding not to use their veto power at the United Nations Security Council, allowing a resolution to pass that for the first time decoupled a demand for a temporary ceasefire from the release of 134 Israeli hostages still held by Hamas.


In response to the U.S. move, Netanyahu canceled a high-level delegation’s planned visit to Washington.

Netanyahu said that the changed U.S. position “hurts the war effort and the effort to release the hostages” by giving Hamas hope that international pressure will bring about a ceasefire without requiring the terror group to release the captives.

The Israeli delegation was supposed to discuss alternatives to a pending IDF ground operation in Rafah city, Hamas’s last bastion in the Gaza Strip. While Israel is adamant that the operation is required to achieve its war goals of destroying Hamas as a political and military entity in Gaza, the Biden administration opposes a full-scale offensive.

For his part, Ben-Gvir in a statement called the passage of the U.N. resolution “proof that President Biden is not prioritizing Israel and the free world’s victory over terrorism, but rather his own political considerations.”

Ben-Gvir called for Israel to ramp up its military campaign against Hamas in Gaza.
