Flight Attendant Wins Millions After Southwest Fires Her for Being Pro-life: ‘A Victory for Freedom of Speech’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A flight attendant was awarded $5.1 million by a jury on Thursday, finding that Southwest Airlines canned 20-year veteran Charlene Carter for her sincerely held religious beliefs, namely her pro-life views.

Carter expressed her pro-life stance online and pushed back against the Transportation Workers Union of America (TWU) Local 556 union after the group, including president Audrey Stone, attended the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., in 2017. The event receives funding from Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion mill in the country.

“Today is a victory for freedom of speech and religious beliefs. Flight attendants should have a voice and nobody should be able to retaliate against a flight attendant for engaging in protected speech against her union,” Carter told FOX Business on Friday. “I am so humbled and thankful for today’s decision and for everyone who’s supported me these past five years, including the National Right to Work Foundation.”

The National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix slammed the union following the verdict.

“No American worker should have to fear termination, intimidation, or any other reprisal merely for speaking out against having their own money spent, purportedly in their name, to promote an agenda they find abhorrent,” said Mix, who reportedly served pro-bono legal representation to Carter.

‘Hillary Clinton Levels of Cringe’: Nikki Haley Refers to Next President as ‘Her’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley hinted at launching a presidential campaign on Monday, referring to the next president as “her” during a speech at the Christians United for Israel summit held just outside Washington D.C.

While speaking about President Joe Biden potentially entering a revamped Iran nuclear deal, Haley told the crowd, “and if this president signs any sort of deal, I’ll make you a promise. The next President will shred it – on her first day in office.”

Although Haley did not officially launch a presidential bid, her use of the female pronoun prompted speculation from many political pundits that she was referring to herself as the next president.

Former Trump White House aide Steven Cheung said Haley’s comments were “Hillary Clinton levels of cringe.”

Lawmakers Call on Gen. Milley to Answer Report He Broke Trump’s Military Chain of Command

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Congressional lawmakers have called on Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley to respond to reports that he cut off the statutory chain of command at the end of President Trump‘s term, undermining civilian control of the military.

Gen. Milley told lawmakers last year at a congressional hearing that he contacted his Chinese counterpart two times to tell him that the U.S. had no plans to attack China.

Rep. Jim Banks, Indiana Republican, said in a speech that Gen. Milley must “set the record straight.”

“General Milley is accused of secretly seizing the president’s military powers. That is the most serious crime. If he is innocent, he has a duty to say so,” he said.

The phone calls to China were detailed in the book “Peril” written by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. (Read more from “Lawmakers Call on Gen. Milley to Answer Report He Broke Trump’s Military Chain of Command” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. Ricky Martin’s 21-year-old nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, accused the singer of domestic violence and incest in Puerto Rico, who could face up to 50 years behind bars, TMZ reported Friday.

It was previously reported that an unidentified victim made domestic violence and sexual assault allegations against Martin in early July, and Friday’s publication of Spanish news website Marca identified the accuser as being Martin’s nephew, according to TMZ. Sanchez has already obtained a temporary restraining order against Martin, who faces harsher penalties if convicted of incest and sex crimes under Puerto Rican law, according to TMZ.

Martin is set to attend court July 21, although the specific penalties he could be facing remain unclear at this time, according to TMZ. (Read more from “Report: Gay Singer Could Face 50 Years in Prison for Incest” HERE)

UPDATE on Gay Singer Ricky Martin’s Incest Case

By Liz Calvario. Ricky Martin returned to the stage Friday night after a headline-making week…

“All I want is for you to forget all your issues tonight,” he [told concert-goers in Los Angeles]. “Just focus on love and light and let’s just have a good time.”

On Thursday, during a hearing in Puerto Rico, a judge ruled against extending a temporary order of protection against the singer after the case was withdrawn. Martin appeared remotely, as he resides in Los Angeles.

NBC News confirmed that the person who filed for the restraining order was the son of Martin’s half sister. The nephew also alleged that he and Martin had had a sexual and romantic relationship that lasted for seven months, according to a court document obtained by Telemundo and shared with NBC News.

FedEx Lost a Man’s Body Three Years Ago, but That’s Not the Weirdest Part of the Story

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Three years ago, Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office sent the remains of Jeffrey Merriweather to St. Louis for testing, but they never arrived.

The medical examiner sent Merriweather’s remains via FedEx in a box weighing 18.6 lbs, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC). It’s unclear why the examiner used FedEx, who prohibit customers from sending human remains via their service, the AJC noted.

What’s even more unclear is how Merriweather, a 32-year-old man, became nothing more than skeletal remains less than two weeks after he was seen alive, the AJC reported. The answer to this question is precisely why his remains were mailed to St. Louis via FedEx, the report continued.

Merriweather was reported missing in June 2019, AJC reported. His body was discovered under an air mattress behind a house in southwest Atlanta ten days later, with court documents suggesting that he was shot to death in a drug deal gone wrong, the outlet noted.

Report Reveals Chilling Way Uvalde School Shooter Easily Amassed Weapons on His Birthday

/0 Comments/in , /by

A damning Texas probe into the Uvalde school massacre reveals in excruciating detail how easily and quickly the killer amassed his ammo and weapons.

Fiend Salvador Ramos had tried to convince kin to buy him weapons before he legally turned 18 on May 16, to no avail.

So he busied himself purchasing firearms accessories about three months before — “including 60 30-round magazines, a holographic weapon sight, and a Hellfire Gen 2 snap-on trigger system” — and on his 18th birthday, began stockpiling the other crucial elements to his slaughter, the report found.

That day — a week before he fatally gunned down 19 fourth-graders and two teachers at his old elementary school — “an online retailer shipped 1,740 rounds of 5.56mm 75-grain boat tail hollow point [bullets] to his doorstep, at a cost of $1,761.50,’’ the report said.

Ramos also “ordered a Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 (an AR-15-style rifle) for shipment to a gun store in Uvalde, at a cost of $2,054.28 (including tax and transfer fee),’’ the probe found. (Read more from “Report Reveals Chilling Way Uvalde School Shooter Easily Amassed Weapons on His Birthday” HERE)

Trans “Woman” Impregnated 2 Inmates in Women’s Prison Moved to Male Facility

/0 Comments/in , /by

An incarcerated transgender [“woman”] has been accused of impregnating two fellow inmates at a New Jersey women’s prison. The incident prompted officials to move Demi Minor, 27, from the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women to the Garden State Youth Correctional Facility last month. The latter is a prison for young adults in Burlington County.

Dan Sperrazza, a Department of Corrections spokesman, told NJ.com that the DOC moved Minor to the vulnerable unit at the facility where [he] is the only [“woman”] prisoner at present. Minor’s move comes months after it was revealed [he] had impregnated two fellow inmates after engaging in “consensual sexual relationships with another incarcerated person.”

New Jersey enacted a policy in 2021 that allows prisoners to be housed according to their preferred gender identity. The policy was part of a settlement from a civil rights suit that a woman forced to live in men’s prisons for 18 months had brought. However, Minor claimed in a blog that [he] was being forced to stay with male prisoners. (Read more from “Trans “Woman” Impregnated 2 Inmates in Women’s Prison Moved to Male Facility” HERE)

Federal Judge Delivers Blow to Biden Administration’s Gender-Identity Directives

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration has leaned heavily on the Supreme Court’s Bostock decision to defend its gender identity directives on sports, pronouns and restrooms, but a federal judge is having none of it.

U.S. District Court Judge Charles Atchley, a Trump appointee in the Eastern District of Tennessee, temporarily blocked anti-discrimination guidances issued last year by the Education Department and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and sided with a coalition of 20 Republican attorneys general.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt was among the Republicans who hailed the judge’s order in the lawsuit, which was filed in August.

“We sued the Biden administration to stop it from punishing states that keep men out of women’s sports,” Mr. Schmidt said in a Sunday tweet. “Late Friday, the judge agreed and granted us a temporary injunction.”

The attorneys general argued that the Biden administration exceeded its authority with its sweeping directives on employment, scholastic sports and public accommodations, which the Biden administration defended by citing the Supreme Court’s 2020 ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County. (Read more from “Federal Judge Delivers Blow to Biden Administration’s Gender-Identity Directives” HERE)

Top Iranian Official: We’re Capable of Making a Nuclear Bomb

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iran is technically capable of making a nuclear bomb, a senior aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei told Al Jazeera Arabic on Sunday, adding that the country would target “deep into” Israel if need be.

“Iran has the technical means to produce a nuclear bomb but there has been no decision by Iran to build it,” Kamal Kharrazi said, according to a translation by Reuters.

The U.S. and UN nuclear watchdog, meanwhile, have always maintained that Iran may not be equipped with the knowledge to actually manufacture a bomb.

“In a few days we were able to enrich uranium up to 60% and we can easily produce 90% enriched uranium,” Kharrazi, who is the head of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign relations, said.

Tehran would “directly respond” to Israel if “our sensitive facilities were targeted,” he added. (Read more from “Top Iranian Official: We’re Capable of Making a Nuclear Bomb” HERE)
