    ...since we're all jumping to conclusions in the D&D, might as well whip out a whopper! :grin:

    Drugs, guns found in Rep. Blake Farenthold’s sister’s home

    The Corpus Christi Police Department raided the home of Sue Farenthold, Rep. Blake Farenthold’s sister, on Monday, and found drugs and weapons inside.

    “I am saddened to learn the terrible news of the situation unfolding around my sister. Tragedy has occurred in my family in the past, and I am saddened it has happened again,” Farenthold said in a statement. “I trust that law enforcement officials are doing their job and I support them carrying out their duty, regardless of where it takes them. I love my sister and ask for your prayers for her and the rest of my family as we work through this very difficult time.”

    The police department found methamphetamine, heroin and two weapons, Politico reported, after “acting on information that there was gang activity and drugs in the home.” A rifle and a shotgun were uncovered in the search.

    Sue Farenthold was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance, Politico reported, along with three men who were arrested, including one that a member of law enforcement told Politico was “a known gang member.”

    Farenthold is a freshman Republican congressman from Corpus Christi. He defeated incumbent Democrat Solomon Ortiz in 2010. His district was redrawn by the Texas Legislature and federal courts and is now far more Republican. He is considered a strong favorite for re-election this November.

    I'm sure he loves his sister and that they are very close.

    I'm sure she looks up to her brother for inspiration and as a role model.

    So it wasn't even a Republican that we know of.

    For the record, yes I love guns and I love drugs.
