Man’s Fiancée Wants to Split Because He Cross-Dressed. He Bludgeons Her to Death.

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday, a British judge sentenced a man to 17 years in prison for beating his fiancée to death after she said she wanted to leave him because of his cross-dressing.

Judge John Lafferty said that Amy Parsons, 35, who was bludgeoned to death while she was showering by her fiancé Roderick Deakin-White, 38, was murdered in a “most horrendous, savage and brutal way,” according to The Telegraph. The attack occurred in the flat the couple shared in Whitechapel, east London.

Judge Lafferty told Deakin-White: “Your view was that if you can’t have her, no-one can have her, and you killed her. There is no sentence I can pass upon you today that will bring back Miss Parsons — a young, successful, vivacious and kind-hearted young woman, whose life was brutally taken by you.”

The court had heard that Deakin-White’s cross-dressing had chiefly led to Parsons’ unhappiness; prosecutor Gareth Patterson QC stated, “She was unhappy about this and this was something he had often wanted to do when they were intimate.” The Daily Mail reported that Parsons “had told him she was ending the relationship because she could no longer stand him wearing women’s underwear when they had sex.” News.com.au added, “The killer had regularly worn women’s underwear, stockings and make-up during the relationship and when they sometimes romped.”

Patterson said Parsons had initiated a relationship with another man a few weeks before her murder, which had triggered Deakin-White’s anger and jealousy. He added, “Unwilling to accept that she was going to leave him, he used a metal bar to hit her repeatedly around the head while she was showering in the Docklands flat which they shared.” (Read more from “Man’s Fiancée Wants to Split Because He Cross-Dressed.

WATCH: Former Trump Health Care Adviser Explains the Reason Drug Prices Keep Skyrocketing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Health care is something that impacts each and every American, regardless of where a person stands politically. And the cold hard truth is that America’s current health care system is only working for the insurance and pharmaceutical companies.

During an interview with Prager University’s Candace Owens, President Donald Trump’s former health care advisor, Katy Talento, explained why Americans are frustrated with the current health care system. . .

“It’s become so non-partisan. It used to be in health care Republican verses Democrat. Now it’s really just the health care swamp verses the rest of us,” Talento explained. “What we’re talking about is everyone has to get paid. The doctor, he writes a prescription. The manufacturer who makes the inhaler, all the middle men between them and you, the insurance company, the pharmaceutical benefit manager, the group purchasing organization, the retail pharmacy, the wholesale pharmacy and everyone’s taking a cut along the way. That is why drug prices have increased beyond the rate of inflation every year for the past 10 years. Hospital prices have increased. If you think this is just drugs, it’s also hospitals. It’s also doctors. It’s totally out of control.” . . .

According to Talento, when patients are given that contract to sign, instead of signing their name they should write “I did not read this” on the signature line. When they get an unforeseen bill they can then go back and say they never consented to the blind cost they incurred.

“Health care is the only industry where the sellers of care – insurers and hospitals – conspire together to hook up secret pricing contracts with each other and they hide them from buyers of care: patients, employers and taxpayers,” she explained.

Adam Schiff’s Impeachment Antics Are Pushing This Key Battleground State Out of Reach for Democrats

/0 Comments/in , /by

Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The core of the blue wall Democrats maintained since the 1980s. States that Republicans haven’t won in decades. Until 2016, the last time Wisconsin went Republican was 1984, with Pennsylvania and Michigan last going for the GOP in 1988. Trump tapped into the white working class, he had an agenda, and voters responded. The margin wasn’t massive, but it was big enough. Now, Democrats have to win these states back in order to beat Trump. And it’s no cakewalk. With Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, spearheading this shoddy and laughable impeachment push of Donald Trump, it’s making it that much harder for his party to retake these states. Impeachment theater got 24/7 coverage. We heard the walls were closing in, only to have several polls showing support has dipped. In Wisconsin, a must-win state for Democrats in 2020, it’s even dipped a bit among Democrats.

The Marquette University Law School poll is rather quite insightful. The Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman commented on this survey as well, noting that Wisconsin, in his mind, remains the state that is going to be the most difficult for Democrats to reclaim next year:

Even as hearings that could lead to President Donald Trump’s impeachment heat up, a new Marquette University Law School poll of Wisconsin registered voters finds consistent, if sometimes modest, shifts in public opinion away from support of impeachment and toward supporting Trump in next year’s presidential election.

For example, Trump holds small leads over each of four top Democratic candidates for president in head-to-head matchups in the new survey, while three of the Democrats held small leads over Trump in the previous poll.

While the shifts in opinion on both impeachment and presidential preferences are not large, they are consistent across multiple questions in the poll. That includes increases in support for Trump’s work on foreign policy and the economy.

Francis’ Appointment of Jesuits to Lead Vatican Offices an ‘Anomaly’ in Church’s History

/0 Comments/in , /by

When Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio in 2013 became the first Jesuit in history to be elected the Roman pontiff, there was not a single member of his religious order serving at the Vatican in a leadership position.

Six-and-a-half years later, Pope Francis has now appointed three of his former confreres in the Society of Jesus to the Vatican’s highest posts. The latest was Spanish Jesuit Fr. Juan Guerrero Alves, who the pope appointed Nov. 14 to become the prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy.

Guerrero, formerly an official at the Jesuit headquarters in Rome, joins Spanish Jesuit Cardinal Luis Ladaria, who heads the powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; and Canadian Jesuit Cardinal Michael Czerny, who leads the Vatican office that advocates for global migrants and refugees. . .

“In the modern era, relations between the Jesuits and the papacy have been very hostile,” said Michela Catto, an Italian church historian who has written a number of books on the Jesuits and their relations with the Vatican.

Catto, a researcher at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, called Francis’ choices “an anomaly and certainly not traditional.” (Read more from “Francis’ Appointment of Jesuits to Lead Vatican Offices an ‘Anomaly’ in Church’s History” HERE)

Get Ready for Another 2020 Gun Control Candidate

/0 Comments/in , /by

Over the weekend, liberal billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg ended weeks of speculation with the announcement that he would join the crowded 2020 Democratic presidential primary field.

Now the question is how much he’ll want to focus his efforts on gun control, given his long history of fighting against Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

As the founder of Everytown for Gun Safety, as well as a major financial backer of it, Bloomberg has already built himself quite a resume as a leader in the anti-gun movement. Bloomberg’s Everytown also provided seed money to start up The Trace — an anti-gun nonprofit media organization — back in 2015. And years before that, he was a leading voice for the banning of so-called “assault weapons” and “high-capacity ammunition clips” (by which he probably meant magazines).

So, given his background, the question really isn’t whether or not Michael Bloomberg will be a pro-gun control 2020 candidate. The question is whether or not he will make his signature issue of the past few years the signature issue of his campaign, and whether or not it’ll actually work for him.

The Democratic presidential field has already seen the failure of two virulently anti-gun candidates who made infringement of the Second Amendment a centerpiece of their campaigns: Rep. Eric Swalwell, Calif., and former Texas Rep. Robert “Beto” O’Rourke. Bloomberg certainly has a longer resume and more money than either of them, but it remains to be seen whether either of those would make a difference.

Furthermore, he’s going to have a harder time selling his message since his anti-gun bona fides are already tainted on the Left due to the controversy surrounding his “stop, question, and frisk” enforcement plan when he was still running things in the Big Apple. He formally apologized for the policy, but as the Manhattan Institute’s Rafael Mangual explains, “if he continues backing away from his record in New York, he’ll severely undermine one of his main arguments for sending him to Washington.” (For more from the author of “Get Ready for Another 2020 Gun Control Candidate” please click HERE)

Iran Warns U.S., Allies: ‘We Will Destroy You’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard on Monday threatened to destroy the United States and its Middle Eastern allies, accusing them during a televised speech of instigating violent protests that erupted earlier this month after the announcement of massive fuel price hikes.

Speaking to tens of thousands of people holding signs with anti-U.S. slogans in Tehran’s Revolution Square, Gen. Hossein Salami accused the U.S., Britain, Saudi Arabia and Israel of fueling the deadly unrest.

“We have shown restraint. … We have shown patience towards the hostile moves of America, the Zionist regime (Israel) and Saudi Arabia against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he said. “If you cross our red line, we will destroy you. We will not leave any move unanswered.”

The protests against a massive rise in fuel prices and a slash in government subsidies have further divided many Iranians and their religious regime. The country has seen an economic decline since the U.S. restored sanctions after withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated during the Obama administration.

Many have complained of the inability to obtain jobs, travel abroad and soaring food prices and the cost of living. Some Iranians have seen their once middle-class lifestyle reduced to day-to-day struggles to stay afloat. (Read more from “Iran Warns U.S., Allies: ‘We Will Destroy You'” HERE)

Bill Cosby Shows No Remorse in First Interview from Prison

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bill Cosby maintained his innocence while speaking out from behind bars for the first time since his conviction on three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault in April 2018.

The disgraced comedian spoke with BlackPressUSA.com for a candid interview about his life behind bars. Cosby, 82, was unremorseful in his comments, maintaining his innocence and calling his entire trial and sentencing of three to 10 years in prison into question.

“I have eight years and nine months left,” Cosby stated. “When I come up for parole, they’re not going to hear me say that I have remorse. I was there. I don’t care what group of people come along and talk about this when they weren’t there. They don’t know.” . . .

Cosby’s sentence came after a lengthy trial that resulted in one mistrial and an eventual guilty verdict, over accusations from former Temple University employee, Andrea Constand. He was found to have drugged and sexually assaulted Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. Multiple women have come forward against the famed comedian with similar allegations of assault.

Cosby’s trial was heralded as the first major celebrity trial of the #MeToo movement and the first to result in a conviction. Cosby’s reputation sank after comedian Hannibal Buress brought up the numerous sexual assault allegations against the comic in 2014. Since then, more than 60 women have come forward with allegations against him. (Read more from “Bill Cosby Shows No Remorse in First Interview from Prison” HERE)

Feral Hogs Kill Woman Outside Home in Texas

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Texas woman who worked as a caregiver and was found dead outside of the home of the elderly couple she looked after, was attacked and killed by wild hogs, authorities have revealed.

Christine Rollins, 59, was discovered with ‘animal related injuries’ outside the home in the 4000 block of State Hwy 61 in the rural area of Anahuac, Texas on Sunday morning.

On Monday Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorn announced that the autopsy results showed the cause of death was ‘exsanguination due to feral hog assault’.

‘There were a lot of things related to the death that didn’t add up. Some of it were animal bites,’ Hawthorne said at a press conference Monday.

‘My detectives and the criminal investigation team felt like [feral hogs] was what it was but we couldn’t come close to announcing until we had the cause of death from the medical examiner’s office,’ Hawthorne added. (Read more from “Feral Hogs Kill Woman Outside Home in Texas” HERE)

What Impeachment Exposed About Trump and 2020; Republicans Plan to Compel Whistleblower to Testify in Trump Senate Trial

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. . .Democrats cast President Trump as someone who is so self-driven that he’s attempting to subvert justice just to “win an election.” That his thirst for victory pulsates through his heart so obsessively that he would break laws to have foreign governments interfere in our process just so that he could beat a Democrat.

Yet here’s the unspoken truth: He doesn’t need to. . .

He is spending way less than any of the Democratic candidates at present, with hundreds of millions in cash on hand, ready to go to work when the time is right. But the truth is he’s had hundreds of millions in the bank since his victory in 2016. . .

In 2016 candidate Trump had no track record, but he had ideas, and he made promises. In 2020 he’s kept 87 of those promises, and he still has ideas not yet implemented.

In 2020 he will likely spend less money on media than his opponent. He will focus resources into going to meet voters at his enormous rallies. People will feel heard, they will look at his track record now, and will easily send him back to finish the fight. (Read more from “What Impeachment Exposed About Trump and 2020” HERE)

Republicans Plan to Compel Alleged Whistleblower Eric Ciaramella to Testify in Trump Senate Trial

By Washington Examiner. Republicans want to find a way to compel CIA officer and former National Security Council Ukraine director Eric Ciaramella to testify in the impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

Ciaramella, 33, currently working for the National Intelligence Council under the director of national intelligence, has been named as the Ukraine whistleblower. The whistleblower’s lawyers have refused to confirm or deny this, and Ciaramella himself has not responded to questions from the Washington Examiner.

The chief Republican counsel in the impeachment proceedings raised Ciaramella’s name during closed-door hearings. In open hearings, whenever GOP questioning had got close to Ciaramella or any other members of the Intelligence Community, Rep. Adam Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, shut them down.

Now, Republican members are arguing that Ciaramella’s past position as Ukraine director and his current work on Ukraine issues makes him a relevant witness, whether or not he is the whistleblower.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham told the Washington Examiner he could not imagine a Senate trial happening without the whistleblower testifying. (Read more from “Republicans Plan to Compel Alleged Whistleblower Eric Ciaramella to Testify in Trump Senate Trial” HERE)

Identity Revealed of FBI Anti-Trump Official Accused of Altering Document

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Kevin Clinesmith is the lawyer accused of altering a document related to the FBI’s 2016 surveillance of the Trump campaign, according to The New York Times. Clinesmith stands accused of altering an email used by officials to continue a wiretap of former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.

(Via The New York Times)

The email Mr. Clinesmith handled was a factor during the wiretap renewal process, according to the [people briefed on the soon-to-be-released draft of the Justice Department’s inspector general report on the origins of the Russia investigation]. Mr. Clinesmith took an email from an official at another federal agency that contained several factual assertions, then added material to the bottom that looked like another assertion from the email’s author, when it was instead his own understanding.

Mr. Clinesmith included this altered email in a package that he compiled for another F.B.I. official to read in preparation for signing an affidavit that would be submitted to the court attesting to the facts and analysis in the wiretap application.

The details of the email are apparently classified and may not be made public even when the report is unveiled.
