Scottie Scheffler was detained by Louisville police and handcuffed by officers outside of Valhalla Golf Club on Friday ahead of the second round of the PGA Championship, according to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, who witnessed the incident. Darlington said the scene involving Scheffler and the police unfolded “very quickly, very rapidly and very aggressively” on the ESPN broadcast. Scheffler, 27, was booked before 7:30 a.m. Friday morning, according to the Louisville Metropolitan Department of Corrections. The situation, which occurred around 5:45 a.m. in the pitch dark, was all due to a misunderstanding over traffic flow. Scheffler was trying to get around traffic caused by a fatal accident involving a shuttle bus near the course.

This happened less than four hours ago. The police, investigating a fatal accident, had blocked the road when Scheffler drove up in his coutesy car, already in his morning routine. The cops didn't recognize him, he didn't immediately stop, and all of this resulted. Off hand, I would say that the cops overreacted. From experience I can say that all professional golfers have a routine not only over the ball on each shot, but a routine that starts the night before by getting to sleep at the proper time. After wake up, one tries to get to the course perhaps two or more hours before one's starting time, all depending on the pro's normal pace of warming up and getting mentally prepared for competition. Everyone has his normal pace and tries to stick to it. One less variable to worry about.

A huge black eye for Louisville, the cops, the PGA tournament and organization. Heads should roll, I would guess unacceptable ignorance is at the heart of the problem. Meanwhile, Scheffler just became a father, playing well enough at four under and a three week layoff after a fantastic run of wins including the Masters. Now he's charged with a felony.

One of the charges is second-degree assault of a police officer. Is that a felony? Scheffler released a statement: "This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers. It was a very chaotic situation, understandably so considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do. I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I’m hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today. Of course, all of us involved in the tournament express our deepest sympathies to the family of the man who passed away in the earlier accident this morning. It truly puts everything in perspective."

Apparently the confusion was over WHO was allowed to enter the players/staff driveway,(if anyone) which Scheffler was turning to enter. The cop didn't know that...and wanted him to stay on the roadway past it. "What we have here....is a Failure to Communicate"

Even the Tournament security officers tried to explain to the cop that he was cleared to enter at that driveway, he was arrested and hauled away anyway.

Be assured that the PGA Tour is already considering what legal steps they can take against the Louisville PD and the City of Louisville for this ... blivet. The Valhalla Golf Club with a Jack Nicklaus designed course, is a top notch facility that has hosted a Ryder Cup and at least two PGA championships. It is a place favored by the PGA of America (the PGA Championship is run by the PGA of America, not the PGA Tour), but each branch of the PGA should get involved here. The more I learn, what happened to Scottie this morning was inexcusable. The cops should have known that half of the field, some 75 players, were about to start streaming through the gate before their morning starting times. A bus hit and killed a pedestrian nearby, bringing the police to the scene. Still, why did they not know that a major championship was in town? Inexcusable. It may be a while before any more big tournaments are scheduled at Valhalla, or in Louisville. Live and learn that some places are no longer acceptable as championship venues. Scottie was horribly mistreated. #6's Barney Fife comment is right on!

It is frightening when someone starts beating on your car in the pitch dark in the confusion around a car accident. I'll give Scheffler the benefit of the doubt in this case. It wasn't like he intentionally tried to run down a cop.

I recall an incident, some years ago, where an airport security officer tried to stop the Hildebeast's SUV at an entrance gate. Reportedly she motioned to her lackey to drive on, they did not stop and nearly ran over the officer. No charges were brought, I don't think the Lamestreams even reported it. As George Carlin once said: "It's a Big Club, and YOU ain't in it."

Digging into our archives I find a previous comment on Rochelle Olson: “Rochelle Olson is a pitiful excuse of a reporter for the Star Tribune.

It was the time of trials. The twentieth century tested the strength of civilization to the limit. As Westerners indebted to Roman law and Erasmus of Rotterdam humanism, we barely survived the mortal challenges of Bolshevism and Nazism.

The Biden administration announced Thursday that it's officially moving forward with a proposal to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. The Justice Department submitted the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to the Office of the Federal Register and, if approved, the rescheduling would limit the punishment for those who are in possession of marijuana when it comes to a federal crime. The proposal is subject to a 60-day public comment period. After that, the administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration can assign an administrative law judge to consider the evidence and make a final scheduling recommendation ABC News reported earlier this month the DEA

The Fifth Amendment has long stood in the way of the schemes of public officials. Since the early days of the republic, federal, state and local governments have felt the need to acquire the private property of citizens. This has spawned almost two centuries of eminent domain case law and precedent requiring reasonable grounds and just compensation for private land acquisitions. Inevitably, there has been a long arms race between usurious public servants and the people. Over the past 50 years, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has pioneered a litany of highly contested but thus far effective "workarounds"

Now, I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I'd trust the president to drive my car much less dictate the future of industrial policy. Yet, Biden implemented draconian emissions limits for all vehicles, ensuring that within nine years, 67% of all new passenger cars and trucks will be electric.

Biden's Department of Health and Hunan Services suspended the non-profit research group EcoHealth Alliance from receiving federal funds. EcoHeath Alliance, under the leadership of Dr. Peter Daszak, is at ground zero of the lab leak theory of the creation of COVID-19. The suspension is merely an interim step until formal disbarment procedures get underway. Disbarment would preclude EcoHealth Alliance from receiving government grants or contractors or working as a subcontractor on projects with government funding. In short, if HHS makes the disbarment stick, EcoHealth Alliance will be out of business. While many of Daszak's employees may end up living in refrigerator cartons beneath an overpass,

Earlier this month, the Biden administration floated a trial balloon, suggesting "senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed the practicality of different options to resettle Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents."No other Middle Eastern country is crazy enough to want large numbers of Gazans to enter their country. The history of Palestinians in Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria suggests that the refugees would look to overthrow the government or launch terrorist attacks against Israel from within their borders. This apparently isn't deterring Joe Biden. Perhaps it should. Pinhas Inbari, a veteran Arab affairs analyst,

A Centers for Disease Control report has linked 84 percent of the recent cases of measles in Chicago to illegal aliens from Venezuela. The other 16 percent of cases are linked to people traveling from Peru and Chile. The Daily Mail reports: New information reveals that the spate of 57 cases at the Pilsen migrant shelter can be traced back to a one year-old boy who had only received one of the two vital vaccines. The majority of the cases — 72 percent — were among unvaccinated people, the CDC said. The report cites overcrowding at the center for the rampant spread, with 500 people said to be crammed into a single room.
