Report: Gavin Newsom’s Prostitution Shield Law Creates Sex Market Full of 12, 13-Year-Old Girls in Downtown L.A.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The New York Times has shone a spotlight on the Democrats’ long-ignored “kiddie stroll” sex market on Los Angeles’ Figueroa Street, yet the newspaper downplayed the pimp shield law pushed by a libertarian Democratic legislator, Rep Scott Wiener, and signed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“For the 77th Street Division, which covers the northern half of the Figueroa Corridor, prostitution had always been a problem. But in recent years, the officers had seen the magnitude of child sex trafficking explode,” says the article, written by reporter Emily Baumgaertner Nunn.

Gangs that had long sold drugs began to take advantage of Figueroa’s lucrative opportunity. With a dozen girls, one trafficker could easily make $12,000 a night. “Drugs are sold once and gone forever, but girls can be resold indefinitely,” said [police sergeant Alvaro] Navarro, who had been in the division for two decades. Motel owners who noticed the parades of customers but feared the gangs’ retribution kept quiet.

. . .

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the police handcuff bill after it was pushed by Wiener and his far-left allies, who passed SB357 in 2022.

The newspaper did not mention Newsom or Wiener, or clearly describe the pro-prostitution bill, which was pitched by Wiener as legal support for minorities along with gays and “transgender” people.

Doc Shows Garland, Wray, And Monaco All Over Corrupt ‘Arctic Frost’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The fingerprints of top deep-staters in President Joe Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice are all over the launch of the corrupt “Arctic Frost” investigation, according to a document just dropped by Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“Just received this doc frm DOJ Proof that Biden Atty General Merrick Garland+ Deputy Atty General Lisa Monaco+ FBI Dir Chris Wray all PERSONALLY APPROVED opening Arctic Frost,” the Iowa Republican wrote Thursday afternoon on X.

“This investigation unleashed unchecked govt power at the highest levels. My oversight will continue,” Grassley added.

The document is initialed by the DOJ’s top generals, unleashing Arctic Frost, the flimsy FBI probe that led to politically conflicted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election lawfare campaign against President Donald Trump. The political witch hunt aimed to take down the Democrats’ biggest political threat in advance of the 2024 election.

Dated April 4, 2022, the Memorandum for Attorney General Garland from Wray and through Monaco is an urgent request asking Garland to sign off on the FBI Washington Field Office (WFO) opening a full sensitive investigative matter (SIM) into Trump, his campaign, and allies on allegations that they attempted to overthrow the 2020 election. The memo provided very thin detail and basis to open a criminal case that appears to have trampled all over the rights of Republican groups and individuals, including Trump and members of Congress.

Judge Rules Accused Charlie Kirk Shooter Can Wear Civilian Clothes — But Must Remain Restrained in Court

/3 Comments/in , /by

A Utah judge has ruled that the man accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk may wear civilian clothing in court but must remain restrained during proceedings.

Tyler Robinson, 22, is accused of gunning down Kirk, 31, on September 10 while the Turning Point USA cofounder and close ally of former President Donald Trump was speaking to students at Utah Valley University in Orem. Robinson, who later turned himself in, faces aggravated murder and multiple felony charges, with prosecutors pursuing the death penalty.

At a hearing on October 27, Judge Tony Graf ruled that Robinson “shall be dressed as one who is presumed innocent” during all pretrial appearances but denied the defense’s request to remove restraints entirely. Graf acknowledged that Robinson has no prior criminal history and has behaved appropriately while in custody but said the “extraordinarily serious” nature of the case, coupled with heightened public emotion, justified additional precautions.

“The court must balance the presumption of innocence with the need to maintain order and safety,” Graf said in his decision. He ordered the sheriff’s office to use the least restrictive restraints possible and barred the media from photographing or filming the restraints to prevent potential juror bias.

Robinson’s defense team had argued that appearing in shackles or inmate attire could prejudice potential jurors and violate his right to a fair trial. They cited precedent from the Bryan Kohberger case — the convicted murderer of four University of Idaho students — where the defendant was temporarily allowed to appear in civilian clothes.

Prosecutors, however, opposed Robinson’s motion, citing security details that have not been made public due to the high-profile nature of the case. The matter was discussed in a closed-door hearing on October 24.

The Utah County Sheriff’s Office had suggested Robinson could appear remotely for some noncritical hearings to minimize concerns over public perception. Defense attorneys objected, arguing that virtual appearances would infringe on Robinson’s constitutional rights and limit his ability to communicate with his legal team.

Both the prosecution and defense agreed that media coverage should be limited, particularly photo and video recordings, to avoid further prejudicing the jury pool. Robinson’s attorneys said extensive pretrial coverage had already “relentlessly focused on Mr. Robinson’s demeanor and appearance” and risked undermining his right to an impartial trial.

Judge Graf also ruled in favor of a defense motion challenging a joint filing made by the sheriff’s office and prosecutors, calling it procedurally improper. However, he declined to issue an immediate ruling on broader questions regarding a media ban or remote hearings.

Graf emphasized that the proceedings will remain open to the public, instructing attorneys from both sides to submit separate motions on those issues.

UFO Tracker Shows Thousands of Eerie Underwater Objects Lurking Along US Coasts

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .A popular UFO-reporting app has recorded thousands of sightings of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) near US waterways — phenomena which high-ranking US Navy officials warn could pose a threat to national security.

Enigma, which touts itself as the “largest queryable historical sighting database for global UFO sightings,” claims it has received reports on over 30,000 Unidentified Flying Objects and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena since launching in late 2022.

But the sightings haven’t been limited to the skies, with reports also coming in about strange objects rising from the depths of the sea, or plunging into the water without so much as a splash.

As of August, Enigma has also logged more than 9,000 mysterious sightings within 10 miles of US shorelines or major bodies of water — 500 of them within 5 miles — with more than 150 of the reports describing objects hovering above or descending into waterways, according to Marine Technology News.

The US states with the most reported USO sightings were California (389) and Florida (306) — both among the top three US states with the most ocean coastline. One of the most bizarre reports includes phone camera video of unexplained green lights traveling beneath the surface of the ocean.

Is There Anyone On Comey’s Legal Team Who Wasn’t Getting Leaks From The FBI?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey filed a motion on Monday to dismiss the charges of lying to Congress brought by District Attorney Lindsey Halligan in the Eastern District of Virginia. Comey, however, has retained yet another one of his former leak recipients as a defense attorney, raising the question: Is there anyone on Comey’s defense team that he wasn’t leaking to?

According to a 2019 Office of Inspector General report, in May 2017, James Comey sent four confidential FBI memos to his personal lawyer Patrick Fitzgerald, along with instructions to share the documents with two other lawyers: Daniel Richman and David Kelley. Fitzgerald and Kelley are Comey’s defense lawyers in the case brought by Halligan.

As Federalist CEO Sean Davis pointed out in an X post, Comey hiring his leak recipients as his legal team not only ​​prevents two direct witnesses of his allegedly illegal behavior from testifying against him, but also potentially places incriminating communication between the three men under the protection of attorney-client privilege.

Understandably, the prosecution asked Judge Michael Nachmanoff last weekend to approve a “filter team” to comb through the evidence in order to — as Politico’s reporting framed it — “clarify Fitzgerald’s role in the 8-year-old disclosures.”

Contrary to Politico’s spin, Fitzgerald’s role needs little additional “clarification.” The Office of the Inspector General report on the investigation into Comey’s leaks already clarified the situation — but perhaps not in the way Politico and Comey would have liked. As The Federalist’s Breccan Thies reported, “An August 2019 Department of Justice Inspector General (IG) report shows that Fitzgerald received detailed memos documenting Comey’s private meetings with President Donald Trump about the Russia collusion probe, with at least one containing classified information.” (Read more from “Is There Anyone On Comey’s Legal Team Who Wasn’t Getting Leaks From The FBI?” HERE)

Wisconsin Public Schools Provide Sanctuary For Accused Groomers And Sex Abusers

/0 Comments/in , /by

What do you get when a teacher’s union stooge steeped in left-wing dogma runs your public school system? Sanctuary for accused groomers and sex offenders.

Such is the case at Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction (DPI), run by teachers union pet Jill Underly. The bought-and-paid-for superintendent has presided over an educator licensing scandal that is as abhorrent as it is alarming.

Kudos to Madison’s Cap Times for committing a brazen act of journalism. The left-leaning newspaper’s year-long investigation found DPI “investigated” more than 200 teachers, aides, substitutes, and administrators “accused of sexual misconduct or grooming behaviors toward students” between 2018 and 2023.

“The department’s internal records show these allegations included educators sexually assaulting students, soliciting nude photos from children or initiating sexual relationships immediately after students graduated,” the news outlet reported. “Licensing officials also investigated educators accused of grooming behaviors like flirting with children, spending non-school time alone and isolated with students, or invading students’ personal space by rubbing their shoulders, thighs and lower backs.”

The publication found at least 44 percent of the public education regulator’s license probes over the period have involved sexual misconduct or grooming allegations. Of the 461 teachers investigated over the period for all forms of misconduct, 207 kept their licenses and were allowed to continue to work with children in schools, the Cap Times reported.

China and Russia Reportedly Using ‘Sex Warfare’ to Target Silicon Valley Tech Executives

/1 Comment/in , /by

In a chilling new development straight out of a Cold War thriller, reports suggest that China and Russia are deploying “beautiful women” to seduce top technology executives in Silicon Valley — all part of a broader espionage campaign aimed at stealing America’s most valuable trade secrets.

According to a report from The Times of London, female spies from both countries have been engaging in so-called “sex warfare,” with some even marrying and having children with their targets to establish long-term access to sensitive corporate and defense information.

“It’s the Wild West out there,” said Jeff Stoff, president of the Center for Research Security & Integrity (CRSI) and a former U.S. national security analyst. “China is targeting our startups, our academic institutions, our innovators, our DoD-funded research projects. There’s not enough oversight and action. It’s all intertwined as part of China’s economic warfare strategy — and we’ve not even entered the battlefield.”

The report claims that espionage efforts go far beyond traditional spying. Foreign operatives are said to be infiltrating the tech world through social media, startup competitions, and venture capital investments, exploiting the fast-paced and loosely regulated nature of Silicon Valley’s innovation ecosystem.

Five counterintelligence experts told The Times that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been hosting American startup competitions under the guise of “innovation exchanges” — allegedly to gain access to sensitive business plans and proprietary data.

One counterintelligence source revealed a particularly striking case: a “beautiful” Russian woman who worked for a U.S.-based aerospace company met and eventually married an American engineer, later having children with him. “Showing up, marrying a target, having kids with a target — and conducting a lifelong collection operation, it’s very uncomfortable to think about, but it’s so prevalent,” the source said.

Earlier this year, the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security warned that the CCP had carried out more than 60 espionage operations in the United States over the past four years — though intelligence officials suspect the real number is much higher.

The report also highlights past cases of intellectual property theft tied to China. In 2024, Klaus Pflugbeil of Ningbo, China, was sentenced to two years in prison after attempting to sell stolen Tesla technology for $15 million to undercover agents in Las Vegas. His alleged accomplice, Yilong Shao, remains at large.

The Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property estimates that trade secret theft costs the U.S. up to $600 billion annually, with China identified as the primary culprit.

FBI: Man Arrested After Offering to Pay Bounty for Murder of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi

/0 Comments/in , /by

A man in St. Paul, Minnesota, is accused of posting a TikTok video offering to pay a bounty for the murder of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The suspect, identified as Tyler Maxon Avalos, allegedly posted an image of Bondi with a caption that read “WANTED: Pam Bondi — REWARD: $45,000 — DEAD OR ALIVE (Preferably Dead),” Fox News reported Monday.

An image of the alleged post appears to have a sniper scope dot on the photo of Bondi:

The Fox article said the suspect is also accused of writing, “Cough cough. When they don’t serve us, then what?” on the post.

A federal investigation was launched once another TikTok user flagged the post. Officials arrested the suspect at an apartment building on Thursday, and he now faces federal charges in the case.

Trans Teen Admits to Plotting Valentine’s Day Mass Shooting at High School

/0 Comments/in , /by

A mass shooting-obsessed trans teen has admitted to plotting a Valentine’s Day massacre at her Indiana high school.

Trinity Shockley, 18, is set to plead guilty to felony conspiracy to commit murder in return for spending a maximum of 12.5 years in prison and five years of probation, according to the Morgan County Prosecutor’s office.

Shockley, who authorities said identifies as male and uses the name Jamie, was arrested in February Monday after police received a tip that she had access to an AR-15, had purchased a bulletproof vest, and was obsessed with mass shooters.

When officers searched her home, they found a twisted shrine to Parkland Florida mass shooter Nikolas Cruz, and other gunmen. (Read more from “Trans Teen Admits to Plotting Valentine’s Day Mass Shooting at High School” HERE)

Sen. Rand Paul Backs Colleague Thomas Massie Amid Trump-Endorsed Primary Challenge

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has pledged full support for Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) as Massie faces a high-stakes primary challenge backed by former President Donald Trump in 2026. In an interview with POLITICO for “The Conversation,” Paul warned that Trump’s targeting of Massie sends a broader message to Republicans about internal discipline and loyalty.

“Thomas Massie is going to win,” Paul said. “I’m going to help him. I’m going to be with him every step of the way.”

Paul underscored that the threats to Massie from Trump and the pro-MAGA apparatus should alarm any lawmaker who values independence. According to Paul, Massie represents one of the most authentic voices of the Republican base — even as he clashes with Trump on key issues.

The contest in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District is shaping up as a proxy battle between Massie’s libertarian-leaning, constitutionalist style of conservatism and Trump’s command-and-control approach to GOP primaries.

Trump has endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein, a loyalist who recently launched his campaign, declaring: “This district is Trump Country. The president doesn’t need obstacles in Congress — he needs backup.”

Tensions between Massie and Trump have been rising in recent months. Massie has publicly challenged the former president and top GOP leaders on several key issues, including pushing to scale back presidential war powers, opposing Trump-backed congressional megabills, and demanding the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The congressman also took to X (formerly Twitter) to post:

Massie’s “America First” stance has consistently emphasized fiscal restraint and limiting U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts. He has opposed large-scale spending bills he views as inflating the national debt and championed constitutional limits on executive war powers, arguing that open-ended foreign engagements come at a high cost to American taxpayers and service members. Critics, including Trump and his allies, have portrayed Massie as obstructing the president’s vision of “America First,” accusing him of voting against mainstream conservative legislation and being insufficiently loyal to the MAGA agenda. Others have noted that Massie’s non-interventionism and fiscal purism put him at odds with voters who support strong international alliances or assertive foreign policies, highlighting the ongoing debate within the GOP about what “America First” truly means.
