Dems Oppose Making Indecent Exposure to Minors a Felony

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dozens of Colorado Democrats in that state’s legislature have voted against making indecent exposure to minors a felony, claiming such laws are used to crack down on drag shows.

Social media was not nice to the party, with comments including, “Party of pedos” and “EVIL INC.”

Yet another comment was, “So this is an admission that drag shows may involve indecent exposure to minors. How else could it be seen as targeting them?”

A report published in the Post Millennial said the Colorado House voted over the weekend on HB23-1135, which would increase the punishment for indecent exposure in front of a minor to a class 6 felony.

“And 27 Democrats voted against the bill, with one saying she was concerned it would lead to the ban of drag shows,” the report explained. (Read more from “Dems Oppose Making Indecent Exposure to Minors a Felony” HERE)

Oregon Bill Would Decriminalize Homeless Encampments, Allow Unhoused People to Sue for Harassment

/0 Comments/in , /by

Oregon Democrats have introduced a state bill that would decriminalize homeless encampments and allow unhoused residents nearly unlimited access to public spaces.

The “Oregon Right to Rest Act” aims to support people experiencing homelessness by allowing them to “rest in public spaces and seek protection from adverse weather conditions,” as well as use public spaces freely without time limits based on their housing status.

The bill would also allow homeless people to sue for $1,000 if they are harassed or kicked off public land.

“Many persons in Oregon have experienced homelessness as a result of economic hardship, a shortage of safe and affordable housing, the inability to obtain gainful employment and a disintegrating social safety net,” the bill’s text states.

“Decriminalization of rest allows local governments to redirect from local law enforcement activities that address the root cause of homelessness and poverty.” (Read more from “Oregon Bill Would Decriminalize Homeless Encampments, Allow Unhoused People to Sue for Harassment” HERE)

Huge Development Means IRS Whistleblower Can Soon Explode Biden Family Scandals

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House Ways and Means Committee granted two attorneys representing the Internal Revenue Service whistleblower authority to inspect Hunter Biden’s tax returns and related information. This development promises to accelerate the unraveling of the Justice Department’s Biden family protection racket.

Understanding why requires a fuller understanding of IRS privacy law, so here’s your “lawsplainer.” . . .

Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that federal tax returns and “return information” “shall be confidential” and makes it illegal for an IRS “officer or employee” to disclose such tax information. In fact, many view Section 6103’s confidentiality mandate as even precluding a government employee from revealing the existence of an investigation into a taxpayer. However, because in December of 2020, Hunter Biden publicly acknowledged the existence of an investigation into his tax matters after federal prosecutors subpoenaed his business records, the public has long known of the investigation into the president’s son.

Several exceptions to the confidentiality provisions of Section 6103 exist, though. Relevant here is the statutory exception authorizing whistleblowers to disclose confidential information to the House Committee on Ways and Means or the Senate Committee on Finance. That exception guarantees whistleblower protection to government agents who reveal confidential information concerning tax issues to either of those committees.

But because the Section 6103 exception does not also allow a whistleblower the right to disclose the information to his attorney, the whistleblower would be forced to face the committees without the benefit of legal counsel. Further, because Section 6103 defines “return information” broadly to include the nature and sources of income, data collected by the IRS, and “any background file document” or “written determination” prepared by the IRS, the whistleblower also could not legally discuss with his attorney many aspects of an investigation to prepare to testify before the congressional committees.

Child Sex-Change Clinic Helps Teachers Turn Elementary Classrooms Into Breeding Grounds for Transgenderism: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia has a gender clinic that reportedly offers medical interventions to kids as young as eight. In addition to the clinic providing children with devastating puberty blockers, its co-founders have previously advocated for confused little girls to have their healthy breasts cut off and for other varieties of irreversible mutilation.

In recent years, the clinic has gone beyond exploiting and exacerbating the insecurities of minors to training elementary teachers to do likewise.

A CHOP gender clinic representative provided guidance to educators in Pennsylvania’s Pennsbury and Council Rock school districts in 2019 and 2021 on how to facilitate kids as young as kindergartners changing their gender, according to a new report from the Daily Caller News Foundation. . .

CHOP’s gender and sexuality development program notes on its website that it provides training for schools, churches, communities, and health care providers.

Much like Planned Parenthood, which peddles its own propaganda in American schools, the GSD clinic has formalized a “curriculum” to “provide trainings to administrators, staff and teachers to improve the classroom environment for transgender students.” (Read more from “Child Sex-Change Clinic Helps Teachers Turn Elementary Classrooms Into Breeding Grounds for Transgenderism: Report” HERE)

Judge Orders Hunter Biden to Answer Questions About Financials, Sit for Interview Under Oath

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hunter Biden was ordered to answer questions about his financials and sit for an interview under oath in a child support case against his daughter’s mother, an Arkansas County judge ruled Monday.

Hunter Biden will answer the questions from the mother’s counsel in writing, which has the potential to reveal information about the family’s international business ventures and his art sales to anonymous buyers.

The judge also ordered Hunter to sit for an interview in mid-June under oath. In addition, a trial is scheduled for July to determine if Hunter’s child support payments will be adjusted, as he requested in 2022.

According to CNN, Hunter is paying $20,000 per month, a calculation based on his income.

The legal dilemma could produce information about how much Hunter Biden earned from his interest in BHR Partners, a Chinese state-backed investment fund founded just days after Hunter and President Joe Biden visited China in 2013. Hunter held a ten percent stake in BHR Partners through an entity called Skaneateles LLC.

Trump Lawyer Grills E. Jean Carroll About Similarity Between Her Rape Claim, ‘SVU’ Episode

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump’s lawyer appeared to imply E. Jean Carroll got the idea for her rape allegations against the former president from an episode of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” — but she denied seeing it, calling the coincidence “astonishing” during testimony Monday.

Carroll — who was back on the stand in Manhattan federal court for her civil rape trial against Trump — was asked by his attorney Joe Tacopina if she knew her account of the alleged 1996 attack was very similar to a brief plot line in a 2012 episode of the popular NBC show.

The 79-year-old former journalist testified she was “aware” of the episode but, “I haven’t seen it.”

A brief moment of the episode — titled “Theatre and Tricks” — involves a character talking about role-playing a rape fantasy in Bergdorf Goodman.

“Role-play took place in the dressing room of Bergdorf’s. While she was trying on lingerie I would burst in,” the character says. (Read more from “Trump Lawyer Grills E. Jean Carroll About Similarity Between Her Rape Claim, ‘SVU’ Episode” HERE)

DeSantis Signs New Bills That Allow the Death Penalty for Pedophiles

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new package of crime bills into law on Monday, all of which are designed to keep criminals out of the streets.

The three bills target bail reforms being pushed by leftist prosecutors, increases penalties on fentanyl traffickers, and makes those who commit certain crimes against children eligible for the death penalty.

“Florida is a law-and-order state with a 50-year record low crime rate and double-digit year-over-year decreases in murder, burglary, and overall crime,” DeSantis said in a statement. “For three consecutive legislative sessions we have enacted tough-on-crime policies, and this year we are continuing to implement measures to protect our communities and keep Florida safe, with a particular emphasis on keeping criminals in jail and throwing the book at pedophiles.”

House Bill 1627 addresses “bail reforms” through a variety of actions, including requiring the Florida Supreme Court to develop a uniform statewide bond schedule by the end of the year.

The bill prohibits judges from setting a lower bond amount than the uniform state bond, prohibits a defendant from being released prior to their first appearance in court if they have been arrested for a violent or heinous crime, and adds a series of crimes to the state’s list of “dangerous crimes.” (Read more from “DeSantis Signs New Bills That Allow the Death Penalty for Pedophiles” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Army identified on Saturday the three soldiers who were killed when two helicopters collided in Alaska while returning from a training mission.

The helicopters were headed to Fort Wainwright from a mission in the Donnelly Training Area when they crashed at 1:39 p.m. Thursday, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of Healy.

The U.S. Army announced Friday that it has grounded aviation units for training after 12 soldiers died within the last month in helicopter crashes in Alaska and Kentucky.

“The move grounds all Army aviators, except those participating in critical missions, until they complete the required training,” the Army said in a statement.

Killed in Thursday’s crash were Chief Warrant Officer 3 Christopher Robert Eramo, 39, of Oneonta, New York; Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kyle D. McKenna, 28, of Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Warrant Officer 1 Stewart Duane Wayment, 32, of North Logan, Utah.

Biden Admin Advocate for Child Sex Changes Kicks off Adolescent Health Month With Resources on ‘Sexual’ Health

/0 Comments/in , /by

Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Rachel Levine marked the beginning of Adolescent Health Month on Monday with resources on “sexual and reproductive health.”

“It is so important to focus on the strengths and potential of our nation’s young people,” Levine said in a press release. “During this year’s observance of National Adolescent Health Month, we are finding ways to help caring adults provide the environments and supports that young people need to grow in a healthy way and thrive.”

Levine, who identifies as transgender, has come out in support of child sex changes. Levine said transgender-identified youth are supported at the “highest levels” of the administration in November. Levine also discussed the potential revenue source that could be provided by sex changes in unearthed emails reported by the Daily Caller News Foundation in February. Levine has also said that some LGBT-identified youth will have to replace their parents with “one supportive adult.”
