Biological Woman Who Identifies as ‘Queer Male’ Says Desire to Get Pregnant Hit Only After Hormone-Aided Transition to ‘Male’

/0 Comments/in , /by

In order to “engender empathy and understanding for people whose stories veer from the traditional, societally enforced narratives,” online magazine Mother told the story of Spencer Dezart-Smith and husband Kelly Dezart-Smith, both of whom identify as queer.

Thing is, Spencer is transgender and underwent hormone therapy and a double mastectomy over a decade ago and has “presented as 100% male ever since,” the magazine said, adding that Spencer specifically “identifies as a queer male.” . . .

Spencer told the magazine getting pregnant wasn’t under consideration prior to gender transitioning, but “now that I felt so strong in my male identity and was being read as male exclusively, I was able to view my ability to carry a child as a super power that I was blessed to have. It was like the innately female ability to bear a child didn’t overpower the certainty I felt in my male identity. The two things could coexist without one cancelling out the other.” . . .

"I have always wanted to be a parent. I think when I was dating women as a woman I didn’t want to be the gestational parent but I still wanted very much to have a family. I couldn’t imagine the idea of carrying a child. The whole thing felt way too feminine to me. I think I was trying so hard to reject the feminine parts of myself that I couldn’t even entertain the thought. Strangely enough, after my transition I began to change my perspective. Now that I felt so strong in my male identity and was being read as male exclusively, I was able to view my ability to carry a child as a super power that I was blessed to have. It was like the innately female ability to bear a child didn’t overpower the certainty I felt in my male identity. The two things could coexist without one cancelling out the other." -Spencer Dezart-Smith, a pregnant father-to-be, who is sharing his journey on #mothermag (📷: @peter_ds)

Spencer had to stop hormone treatment that offered “confidence and security of his identity” and proved “at times excruciatingly difficult,” Mother added.

"To be honest, I didn’t always want to be a parent. I’m pretty radical in my thinking and thought for a long time that children and marriage supported patriarchal systems. I now realize that the system was also designed to make me think that I wasn’t worthy of raising children or being married. The system made me think of myself as unfit for either of those conventions. But the reality is, I can be radical in my thinking, want to dismantle the patriarchy, be married, and have a child. All those things can exist simultaneously and do exist in me. I also think my desire to be a parent evolved and grew deeper as my relationship with Spencer grew. Spence is the kindest, gentlest, and most nurturing man I’ve ever known, and our home reflects that energy. It’s the home I’ve always wanted to be brought up in and now get to live in." -Kelly Dezart-Smith, whose husband, Spencer, is pregnant with their first child. (📷: @peter_ds)

A Group of Archaeologists Say That They’ve Found the Ancient Biblical Kingdom of Edom

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. A team of archaeologists say that they’ve found the ancient kingdom of Edom.

Edom was an ancient kingdom that bordered, and often fought with Israel. According to Genesis Chapter 36, Edom was founded by Jacob’s brother Esau and his descendants. Timna was the name of one of “the chiefs descended from Esau.”

The Edomites were nomads who lived in part of the region that is now Jordan, but there was a lack of extra-biblical historical evidence about these people. Archaeologists also believed that the Edomites as a unique nation had only begun to exist several centuries later than the Bible claimed, which directly contradicts the biblical accounts.

But now that could all change. . .

A group of archaeologists from Jordan, Israel, and the United States say they have found proof that the Edomites were more advanced than previously thought, and that they lived at least 300 years earlier than the prevailing belief.

‘Quite Amazing’: Israeli Scientists Find the Biblical Kingdom of Edom Founded by Esau

By CBN News. Israeli researchers have uncovered evidence that backs up the biblical account of the ancient kingdom of Edom.

The kingdom of Edom existed during the 12th-11th centuries BC and was founded by Isaac’s eldest son, Esau. It was located in the Transjordan between Moab to the northeast, Arabah to the west, and the vast Arabian Desert to the south and east. . .

Now, a breakthrough study published in PLOS One by a team of Israeli and American scientists finds that Edom really did exist at the time and place the Bible describes.

“Using technological evolution as a proxy for social processes, we were able to identify and characterize the emergence of the biblical kingdom of Edom,” explained Tel Aviv University’s Prof. Ben-Yosef of the Central Timna Valley Project. “Our results prove it happened earlier than previously thought and in accordance with the biblical description.”

Ben-Yosef, Prof. Tom Levy of the University of California, San Diego, and their team went to the Arava Desert in today’s Israel and Jordan to analyze the source of the kingdom’s wealth: copper.

China Detains Former U.S. Air Force Pilot Working for FedEx Amid Trade War Tensions

/0 Comments/in , /by

China detained and released former U.S. Air Force colonel and FedEx pilot in Guangzhou in September while he was waiting for a flight to his home in Hong Kong, according to his family’s lawyer in Florida

Todd A. Hohn was returning to Hong Kong after piloting FedEx delivery planes throughout Asia from a FedEx hub in the Guangzhou airport when he was arrested by Chinese authorities, The Wall Street Journal reported.

“Chinese authorities in Guangzhou detained and later released one of our pilots on bail after an item was found in his luggage prior to a commercial flight,” FedEx said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal. “We are working with the appropriate authorities to gain a better understanding of the facts.”

Hohn reportedly had “nonmetallic pellets used in low-power replica air guns” in his bag when he was detained. Chinese officials said he was transporting ammunition, and he is now facing a criminal investigation, those familiar with the issue told WSJ. . .

Hohn’s detention comes amid tight U.S.-China trade-war tensions and as FedEx faces two other investigations by the Chinese government after the country received “complaints from users” and added that foreign operators ought to protect the “legitimate interests” of Chinese companies, according to a June 2 South China Morning Post (SCMP) report citing China’s top postal regulator.

Pakistani Illegal Alien Admits to Killing Daughter and Grandson

/0 Comments/in , /by

As Texas officials like Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick search for solutions to mass shootings and focus on guns and background checks, they might want to search for solutions to more avoidable murders committed by illegal aliens with all sorts of weapons and motivations.

According to local media, a probable cause statement from Corpus Christi police states that Mohammad Sahi, 72, approached neighbors covered in blood last Thursday and told them to call police. Sahi then confessed to the two officers arriving at the scene to murdering his 47-year-old daughter and 18-year-old grandson by beating them with a stick. Another grandson was found in the house severely beaten and barely alive.

Sahi appeared in court on Monday and is being charged for two murders and one aggravated assault. He confessed to the crimes speaking in his native Punjabi through an interpreter.

ICE spokesman Tim Oberle confirmed with CR that ICE lodged a detainer on September 13 following his arrest and that Sahi is indeed an illegal alien from Pakistan. However, given that bail is set for $2.5 million, it’s unlikely he will be released from Nueces County Jail. If prosecutors obtain a conviction leading to capital punishment or life without parole, the ICE detainer will become moot, because he will never be released and deported.

This is obviously a shocking and extremely bizarre case. Police have not posited any theory of a motive in this case as to why a 72-year-old man would kill his daughter and grandson. But in 2016, Amnesty International spotlighted Pakistan in particular as a hotbed for the practice of family members murdering women for bringing shame to their family in some form. They estimate that roughly 1,000 such killings take place every year.

On January 27, 2017, as part of the “travel ban” executive order, Trump called for data collection on certain criminal activity that seems to be associated with the same countries listed in the visa moratorium. Sec. 10 of the order called upon DHS and DOJ to publish a semi-annual report on the number of foreign nationals charged on terrorism-related grounds. A lesser known part of that order also called for “information regarding the number and types of acts of gender-based violence against women, including honor killings, in the United States by foreign nationals.”

Only one DHS/DOJ report has been issued pursuant to this order, and very little was published on that section of the order. The report, from January 2018, noted that there is no reliable data on honor killings because the federal government doesn’t directly track them. It’s part of a broader problem of our government failing to track foreign national crimes, transnational gang and cartel crimes, and foreign terrorism crimes.

Again, there is no evidence yet that this was an honor killing, but at present, there doesn’t appear to be any logical motive at all. The more we continue mass migration from countries with these habits without any thorough vetting, the more likely we will continue to import those who subscribe to this ideology among those who don’t.

Coincidentally, just last week in California, Rohail Sarwar, a recent arrival from Pakistan, was sentenced to life in prison for brutally stabbing a woman at a massage parlor after frequently demanding sex from the employees and sexually assaulting them throughout the summer of 2018. Yolo County Judge Paul Richardson referred to the murder of Junying Lu, which occurred last August, as one of the “most vicious” murders he’s seen. He was convicted on special murder charges and sexual assault. The family of the victim wanted the death penalty, but prosecutors pursued life without parole.

At one point during the trial, Sarwar’s mistress testified about his violence and his feelings toward women. Lloyd Billingsley, who covered the trial for the California Globe in July, reports that deputy district attorney Diane Ortiz told the court, “‘No’ is never an answer in Sarwar’s world,” referring to the culture of women submitting to men in Pakistan. During the testimony of the unnamed mistress, she described how her family wanted to send her back to Pakistan to be killed for having an affair with Sarwar.

During sentencing last Thursday, Junying Lu’s youngest daughter, Amy, blasted Sarwar’s culture of subjugating women and questioned why he had not been “kicked out of the United States,” according to Billingsley’s reporting of the victim impact statement. It’s unclear whether Sarwar is here legally or not.

While we are groping in the darkness trying to prevent heinous murders, it’s important to start with the voluntary policy of immigration and understand why we are needlessly bringing in problematic individuals. As we see with these two Pakistanis, when you import a violent culture, it doesn’t matter what sort of gun laws you have. One killed with a knife and one allegedly killed with a stick. In 2017, according to the FBI, almost four times as many people were killed by knives as by rifles. Also, more people were killed by blunt objects or by brute strength.

Last month, I reported on the case of Billy Chemirmir, a criminal alien from Kenya with a long rap sheet who is now accused of smothering 19 seniors to death in the Dallas area over the past three years. GOP leaders in the state have not uttered a word about this case. All of these murders could have been avoided had we closed multiple criminal alien loopholes that allowed this man to remain in the country.

Texas politicians who are focused on guns seem to be silent about criminal aliens we needlessly bring in who kill with all sorts of weapons. After all, it’s a lot easier to target an object that doesn’t have an entire grievance industry backing it than to require universal background checks on immigrants.

Illegal Alien Charged With Raping 4-Year-Old Girl

/0 Comments/in , /by

In yet another illegal immigration-related heinous crime that will go uncovered by the media, a Mexican national has been indicted for raping a four-year-old girl and is accused of molesting a six-year-old girl in Baton Rouge over the past year.

A grand jury in East Baton Rouge Parish indicted Joel Emmanuel Rodriguez, 30, on Wednesday for allegedly raping a four-year-old girl on May 26. Rodriguez was originally arrested on May 31 on the rape charge, according to arrest records from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s office. He’s also accused of molesting a six-year-old girl between Aug. 1, 2018, and May 3, 2019, according to court records.

Rodriguez is being referred to by local media as a “Baton Rouge man,” but ICE spokesman Bryan Cox confirmed on inquiry from CR that he is indeed an illegal alien and that ICE had placed a detainer on him in May.

Over the past few months, CR has covered a rash of child sex assaults by illegal aliens. In many of their home countries, it is a regular practice to marry young girls, especially in rural areas. However, these shocking crimes seem to victimize kids who are younger and younger.

The FBI and most states do not track categories of crime broken down by legal status of the perpetrator. It would be useful for public policy decisions to know how many drunk driving incidents, how much drug trafficking, how much gang activity, or how many child sex assaults are committed by illegal aliens, but nobody seems to want to find out.

Even the anecdotes are hard to come by, because most reporters don’t want to inquire about immigration status, and DHS is largely precluded from actively publicizing the information unprompted by a reporter’s inquiry. Hence, a “Baton Rouge man” is arrested for child rape or a “Long Island man” is arrested for killing someone while driving drunk.

Yesterday, BuzzFeed reported that acting USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli is trying to change the privacy policies at his agency to better inform the public of heinous crimes committed by illegal aliens, refugees, or those seeking some sort of asylum status. In response to the report, Cuccinelli confirmed that he is seeking more transparency on this issue when the public interest outweighs the individual’s privacy interest, such as in the California MS-13 case involving numerous recent asylum seekers. “Due to the abuse of the refugee and asylum programs by MS-13, terrorist organizations and cartels,” said Cuccinelli in a statement, “the Acting Director requested the same authority in order to educate the America public, lawmakers, and media about the dangerous criminals who came to the United States by abusing our legal immigration system.”

Raping a four-year-old and a six-year-old is a pretty big deal, and the fact that not a single local media report in Louisiana that I can find mentioned an ICE detainer when he was arrested in May or after the indictment this week is pretty shocking. It underscores the need for ICE to proactively bypass the media and push this information out to the public.

The rash of illegal alien rape suspects, including child rape cases, has made headlines in Montgomery County, Maryland. But Louisiana has had its share as well.

In July, Andres Fuentes-Castro, 44, an illegal alien from El Salvador, was arrested by CBP in Baton Rouge and is charged with three counts of first-degree rape against a child between 2014 and 2016. Agents initially arrested him in 2007 during a traffic stop in Baton Rouge and could have deported him before this child was harmed. However, they found he was given Temporary Protected Status (TPS) as a Salvadoran national under the El Salvador TPS program. His status later expired in 2010 and was not renewed, rendering him a fugitive alien for nine years for not departing the country.

On the same day, Tomas Gabriel Chox-Lopez, another illegal alien living in south Louisiana, was caught in a child porn sting by state and federal law enforcement and charged with seven counts of possessing pornography involving juveniles under the age of 13.

Earlier this year, Miguel Martinez, an illegal alien who had previously been deported in 2005, was arrested in Louisiana on 100 counts of possession of pornography involving juveniles under the age of 13 years old, one count of production under the age of 13, and one count of sexual battery of a juvenile under the age of 13.

Bizarrely, these cases have not been publicized by the prominent GOP members of the Louisiana federal delegation in the House and Senate. These are prime examples of why, despite the declining overall numbers at the border, there is a need for a wall and more resources to deter the really bad criminals who continue to come in and don’t surrender to agents.

Sadly, the less people know, the less they will clamor for action. For some in politics and media, that is by design. (For more from the author of “Illegal Alien Charged With Raping 4-Year-Old Girl” please click HERE)

Another Democrat Just Dropped out of the Presidential Race

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Friday morning he is dropping out of the 2020 presidential race.

“I feel like I contributed all I can to this primary election and it’s clearly not my time,” he said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “So I’m going to end my presidential campaign, continue my work as mayor of New York City and I’m going to keep speaking up for working people.” . . .

President Trump made fun of him on Twitter, joking that New York City “is devastated” that he’s returning to the city.

“Oh no, really big political news, perhaps the biggest story in years!” the president tweeted. “Part time Mayor of New York City, @BilldeBlasio, who was polling at a solid ZERO but had tremendous room for growth, has shocking dropped out of the Presidential race. NYC is devastated, he’s coming home!”

President Trump Deploys Troops to Saudi Arabia

/0 Comments/in , /by

The situation in the Middle East has been intensifying for weeks. Iran wants war. They need to do something to show that the West is not economically gutting them, though that’s exactly what’s happening. Iran was seizing oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and now they’ve hit an oil field in Saudi Arabia with drone strikes and cruise missiles. . .

New sanctions were slapped on Iran, who is a state sponsor of terrorism. For the anti-Trump Left, this would be the best time to undercut our president by smearing him as a madman. Remember when they all thought that he was going to tweet the U.S. into a nuclear war with North Korea? None of that happened. It was nonsensical. Trump has taken rational steps in response because inaction is not an option. Right now, we’re deploying troops to Saudi Arabia, along with defense equipment (via NYT):

President Trump is sending a modest deployment of American troops to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, along with air and missile defense equipment, in response to the attacks on Saudi oil facilities, which the administration blames on Iran.

WATCH: Mom Rips Beto to His Face Over Gun Confiscation Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Lauren Boebert, owner of Shooters Grill, blasted Democrat presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke to his face on Thursday over his extreme plan to confiscate semi-automatic firearms, telling him: “Hell no, you’re not!”

“Gun-owning Americans who heard your speech and heard what you had to say regarding ‘Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15s and AK-47s’ — Well, I am here to say, ‘Hell no, you’re not,'” Boebert, who has several children, told O’Rourke.

Many of O’Rourke’s supporters were so rude to Boebert that O’Rourke had to step in and tell them to knock it off and to let her speak. . .

“We all have these stories. We all have these experiences. I was living in Aurora during Columbine. I had just recently moved when the Aurora shootings happened. Yet I have very close ties here. Yet all of those people were there defenseless,” Boebert continued. “They had no way to defend themselves against a crazed shooter, so I want to know how you intend to legislate the hearts of men and leave American citizens like myself, American mothers. I have four children. I’m 5 foot zero, one hundred pounds, cannot really defend myself with a fist.” . . .

At the event, O’Rourke signaled that he was open to becoming even more extreme on his gun confiscation program as he was open to the idea of banning and confiscating all semi-automatic firearms, which comprise the overwhelming majority of the estimated 393 million firearms owned by Americans[.] (Read more from “Mom Rips Beto to His Face Over Gun Confiscation Plan” HERE)

Media Ignores Deleted Tweet by Ilhan Omar that Suggests She Married Her Brother

/0 Comments/in , /by

A deleted tweet by Rep. Ilhan Omar that recently came to light shows her wishing a happy birthday to her father — a man with the same name as her brother.

It had been alleged that Omar married her brother in 2009 in order to ease his entrance to America. She identified the man she married, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, only as a “British citizen.”

But in 2013, Omar tweeted out birthday greetings to her father. The Washington Free Beacon’s Brent Scher points out the significance of the now-deleted tweet.

The 2013 post by Omar wishing a Happy Father’s Day to a man named “Nur Said” resurfaced late Monday night when Imam Mohamad Tawhidi pointed to it as further evidence that Omar’s previous husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was her brother. In Somali culture, a man’s middle name is typically the name of his father. Omar deleted the tweet revealing her father’s name on Tuesday at 5:23 a.m., according to ProPublica’s tracker of deleted tweets.

. . .

Indeed, it’s not ironclad proof that Omar married her brother to knowingly violate immigration laws. “Nur Said” may be a very common name in Somalia. Even if it isn’t common, proving that Omar’s former husband was actually her brother wouldn’t be certain without a DNA test or reliable eyewitness testimony.

Jeffrey Epstein Built Vast Fortune Through ‘Money Laundering, Spying and Arms Deals’; Why Did Jeffrey Epstein’s Private Jet Fly to Riyadh on the Eve of the 2016 Election?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Radar Online. How did Jeffrey Epstein make his millions? The second episode of “Epstein: Devil in Darkness“ reveals some of his financier’s shady business practices and how he spent the money he made on them — namely, the lavish properties where he often entertained guests, including women who were allegedly and concerningly young.

“I was greatly impressed with his demeanor, his ability to understand complex securities underwritings and sales to investors,” Steven Hoffenburg, a former Wall Street executive said in particular about Epstein’s role in the infamous Towers Financial collapse when Hoffenburg was a chief executive officer. “He was also broke. He was literally without funds because he got into trouble in Europe.” Hoffenburg claimed that Epstein got involved in criminal activity including “money laundering, spying and arms deals in different countries overseas” to make money long before he ever got wrapped up with Towers Financial.

“Jeffrey Epstein participated full time and was a mastermind in that par of the Towers Financial crimes,” Hoffenburg explained in the podcast. When the Ponzi scheme collapsed in 1993, the exec was given 20 years in prison along with a $1 million fine and $463 million in restitution. Meanwhile, Epstein got away without charges. Instead, he made millions — and to this day, it’s not entirely clear how.

But with that money, Epstein bought properties. “The employees had to sign that they would never disclose any information,” Nancy Sowle revealed, while another former employee, Ean Royal, described one of the locations — a ranch — as “super lavish.” Epstein had a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, which journalist Laura Goldman described in the podcast as being not “the grandest house on the block, but it was the most private.” He also owned a residence on 71st Street in Manhattan, which along with the Palm Beach home was allegedly the epicenter of his sex trafficking operation. Plus, there was the sprawling parcel of land in New Mexico he named Zorro Ranch. Several staff members from the property spoke out on the podcast and offered disturbing details about what transpired there.

Why Did Jeffrey Epstein’s Private Jet Fly to Riyadh on the Eve of the 2016 Election?

By Insider. In August, Insider reported that Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet was spotted over the Arabian Peninsula on the eve of Election Day 2016. The available flight data was incomplete, however, leaving the Gulfstream’s final destination an open question. Now we have the answer.

According to the journalist Eric Rosenwald, who analyzed aviation data collected by the flight-tracking service Plane Finder, Epstein’s jet landed at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia, at 6:35 p.m. local time on November 7, 2016. The flight pattern provides significant new evidence of Epstein’s rumored ties to the kingdom and its ruling family. . .

Two people of note were in Riyadh at roughly the same time.

The first person is Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, who at the time served as the kingdom’s Minister of Defense and Second Deputy Prime Minister. On November 8, the state-owned Saudi Press Agency reported that bin Salman, also known as MBS, and his father, the Saudi king, bestowed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr., with the Order of King Abdulaziz, a civilian award for distinguished service to Saudi Arabia.

The second person is Jeff Bezos, the billionaire co-founder and CEO of Amazon. On November 9, the day Epstein’s jet returned to Paris, MBS held an unrelated meeting with Bezos, several Amazon executives, and two Saudi ministers. The Saudi Press Agency said they “discussed fields of cooperation and investment opportunities available according to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030,” the crown prince’s signature economic initiative.
