Former Mississippi state rep killed outside same home where her sister-in-law was found dead
A former Mississippi state lawmaker was fatally shot over the weekend outside the same burned-out home where her sister-in-law was found dead following an arson fire after Christmas.
Ashley Henley, a Republican who represented Southaven from 2016 to 2019, was found with a gunshot wound to the back of her head on Saturday. Her body was discovered by investigators after her husband called a neighbor out of concern when she seemed to be gone for too long while cleaning up the property where his sister died.
Henley and her husband, Brandon Henley, have pressed local law enforcement on the investigation surrounding the death of Brandon's sister, Kristina Michelle Jones, whose body was found Dec. 26 inside a trailer owned by Brandon and Kristina's father.
Following Jones' death, Brandon and Ashley Henley put up a billboard-type shrine of sorts outside the property, insisting that Jones had been murdered and calling for justice.
"I feel that if something would have been done sooner this would have never happened," Brandon Henley told WJTV-TV following his wife's death.
Henley told the outlet that he believes both his wife and his sister were killed by the same person, and that the family "had just days earlier begun re-examining his sister's death."
"The fire investigators did confirm it was arson and the crime lab did confirm that there was no smoke in her lungs when she was found, so she was dead before the fire," Henley said of Jones' death.
"I'd like for them to do their job because this is the second person someone down there has taken from me," he said of the Yalobusha County Sheriff's Office. "My son doesn't have a mother." The Washington Post reported that the Henleys had launched their own investigation into Jones' death, and that Ashley Henley's friend and former colleague state Rep. Dan Eubanks (R) said Ashley "had grown increasingly frustrated in recent weeks and feared that Jones' case would go cold."
Former Mississippi state Rep. Ashley Henley was found shot to death in a rural area in Mississippi on Sunday, according to local officials.Evidence gathered by investigators indicated a woman was mowing grass outside of a trailer in the Water Valley Boat Landing community when she was shot in the head, the North Mississippi Herald reported.County

Hmmm. Print pool: "Inside, a pooler shouted Mr. President, do you trust Putin? Biden nodded yes up and down. Another pooler asked Putin if he feared Navalny and what he would do if Ukraine joined NATO. He looked up and did not respond."

A federal judge in Louisiana has blocked the Biden administration's suspension of new oil and gas leases on federal land and water, claiming the administration provided no "rational explanation" for the ban and did not follow the law in executing it.
Judge Terry Doughty of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday blocking the administration from enforcing the moratorium. He said the suspension violated the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and the Mineral Leasing Act, two laws designed to affirm the federal government's intent to achieve energy independence using U.S. resources.
Doughty's decision came as part of a lawsuit filed by a coalition of 13 Republican attorneys general claiming the administration had unlawfully issued the order.
The judge said his order applies "nationwide" and will remain in effect pending final resolution of the case, including potential appeals to higher courts. He noted that the decision would effect countless American workers.
"Millions and possibly billions of dollars are at stake," Doughty said. "Local government funding, jobs for Plaintiff State workers, and funds for the restoration of Louisiana's Coastline are at stake. Plaintiff States have a reliance interest in the proceeds derived from offshore and on land oil and gas lease sales."
He added in the ruling that the moratorium should be struck down because it provides no "rational explanation in cancelling the lease sales, and in enacting the pause," and by ordering the pause, the government was "taking actions contrary to law."
In response to the ruling, the Interior Department stated that it is "reviewing the judge's opinion and will comply with the decision."
President Joe Biden had issued the suspension as part of a series of executive orders signed during the first week of his presidency. At the time, the president touted the move as a key way to combat climate change.
The judge's ruling is a major setback for Biden, who was moving quickly to transition the U.S. away from its reliance on fossil fuels believed to emit levels of carbon dioxide harmful to the environment.
Louisiana Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry called the judge's decision "a victory not only for the rule of law, but also for the thousands of workers who produce affordable energy for Americans."
"We appreciate that federal courts have recognized President Biden is completely outside his authority in his attempt to shut down oil and gas leases on federal lands," he added.
President Joe Biden snapped at CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday, at a press conference following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As Biden began leaving the summit, Collins asked the president how he was confident that Russian President Vladimir Putin would change his behavior.
Collins replied that Biden had said he would know in three to six months whether the meeting was a success.
When Biden reached Air Force One he stopped to clarify his answer, expressing regret for his response to Collins.
But Biden indicated he was still frustrated when asked to clarify his answer.
Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.
