WASHINGTON â It was the nearly forgotten mid-century novelist Nelson Algren who said: âNever play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Momâs. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.â
To this catalog of sagacity, Algren today might add, âNever trust a group that claims to work for God, country or liberty, as any or all three are unlikely to be well-represented.â Just ask David Lopez-Zuniga, the 39-year-old air conditioning repairman who was run off a Texas road in October by a private investigator for the Liberty Center for God and Country.
In today s conspiratorial climate of denial, deceit and a troubling tolerance for vigilantism the forces of extremism have been allowed to surface and flower.

Within seconds, the SUV swerved alongside the passenger s side, striking the truck and forcing Lopez-Zuniga to the side of a highway. There, he said, the SUV s driver feigned an injury before ordering Lopez-Zuniga to the ground at gunpoint. I was very scared, Lopez-Zuniga, said in an interview with The Washington Post. I didn t know who this person was.
Lucky to be alive - A bogus conspiracy theory, hundreds of thousands of dollars of funding and an ex-cop turned private investigator led to an innocent man being forced off the road and held at gunpoint on October 19 in Texas. Mark Aguirre, a former police officer who resigned under a cloud of controversy, rammed his SUV into David Lopez-Zuniga’s small truck, forcing him off the road, where Aguirre then pulled a gun on Lopez-Zuniga and forced him to the ground. Aguirre was sure the truck held 750,000 fraudulent ballots. It held air conditioning parts.
Continued vigilance needed - While lawmakers in Washington D.C. get the next COVID-19 relief package wrapped up, the first vaccines are given and United Airlines is contacting passengers after a man died of COVID-19 mid-flight, we are reminded of the real human toll from this wretched virus. The Deseret News editorial board reminds us that “
