Car Owner Sued After Jeep Kills Mechanic During Oil Change (VIDEO)

A Michigan man who left his car at a dealership for an oil change and tire rotation is being sued after his vehicle was involved in the death of one of the dealership’s employees.

Sergio Enrique Diaz-Navarro took his red 2019 Wrangler to a Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealership on March 13, 2020, and 19-year-old lube technician Daniel Thompson worked on the car. After the service was complete, the vehicle “lurched forward” as the young employee attempted to operate it, crushing 42-year-old mechanic Jeffrey Hawkins against a cabinet, court records show.

Thompson had lowered the Jeep from the vehicle lift, and then tried to start the car and let it idle to ensure there were no oil leaks around the filter, according to court records.

“Thompson reached into the vehicle and pressed brake with his right foot, keeping his other foot on the floor,” the plaintiff summary reads. “He pressed the start button. When the vehicle did not start, he took his foot off the brake and depressed the clutch pedal. He again hit the start button. This time the Jeep started. He removed his foot from the clutch, still standing outside the vehicle. The vehicle lurched forward.” . . .

Attorney David Femminineo, who is representing Hawkins’ estate, told FOX 2 that Thompson did not know how to drive the vehicle’s manual transmission and did not have a license. The attorney also said the dealership cannot be sued because of a legal standard preventing an employee from suing their boss for negligence, which, in this case, would be the hiring of someone who should not have been driving.

Hollywood Hate: ‘Satanic’ SCOTUS Seeking to ‘Traffic Babies’

Republicans will “traffic babies” for financial gain in the event the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, according to left-wing Hollywood actress Rosanna Arquette, who deemed conservative Supreme Court justices in favor of overturning the landmark abortion case a “satanic force.”

“No, it’s not hysterical or alarmist,” Arquette wrote in a Saturday tweet. “They will traffic babies that many women can’t afford to keep.”

The 62-year-old Pulp Fiction actress went on to highlight the broad financial market tied to international organ trafficking.

“There is a huge money making market world wide for babies and behind that is organ trafficking,” she added, before labeling the majority of Supreme Court justices “officially the satanic force.”

Pro-life Group’s Office Hit With Molotov Cocktail, Abortion-Rights Graffiti

A Wisconsin pro-life group’s office was set on fire early Sunday and vandalized with abortion-themed graffiti in what authorities are investigating as an arson.

The Wisconsin Family Action headquarters suffered fire damage after someone threw a Molotov cocktail inside the building in Madison, which was discovered after a passerby saw flames coming out of the building at about 6 a.m., according to police.

“Arson investigators are working with fire department officials to determine an exact cause,” said the Madison police incident report. “A molotov cocktail, which did not ignite, was thrown inside the building. It also appears a separate fire was started in response.”

In addition, the building was spray-painted with the message: “If abortions aren’t safe than you aren’t either.” No injuries were reported.

Police said that federal investigators were briefed on the attack, and linked the incident to Monday’s leaked Supreme Court draft overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion nationwide.

Plot to Kill U.S. General Foiled

A plot by the terrorism-sponsoring Iranian government to kill a U.S. general has been foiled, according to a report in the Jerusalem Post.

The report noted that the scheme also targeted an Israeli diplomat as well as a journalist in France.

The Post said Israeli’s intelligence corps, the Mossad, was operating in Iran and apprehended and interrogated an Iranian national who was “leading a plot” to kill the three.

A recording revealed that a suspect identified as Mansour Rasouli admitted he had been ordered to establish a cell to assassinate a worker at the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul, a U.S. general stationed in Germany and a journalist in France, the report said.

The report said the planned attack revealed the threat of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a terror-supporting organization that Joe Biden’s administration has been lobbied to remove from the list of international terror groups as part of his efforts to restore the failed Iran nuclear deal.

Democrats Quietly Scrub Abortion Bill Language Saying Men Can Get Pregnant

The latest version of the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would effectively make abortion a statutory right, scrubbed references to transgender and nonbinary people’s pregnancies as well as language related to “reproductive justice.”

Earlier versions of the bill used language tying race and transgenderism to the issue of abortion in its nonbinding “Findings” section. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., the bill’s sponsor, told Politico the language had been removed from the bill due to objections from some Democrats.

The newest version removed references to white supremacy and gender oppression as well as notes clarifying that its provisions applied to anyone with the “capacity for pregnancy,” including “transgender men, non-binary individuals, those who identify with a different gender, and others,” according to Politico.

“Reproductive Justice seeks to address restrictions on reproductive health, including abortion, that perpetuate systems of oppression, lack of bodily autonomy, white supremacy, and anti-Black racism,” a previous version of the bill said.

“This violent legacy has manifested in policies including enslavement, rape, and experimentation on Black women; forced sterilizations; medical experimentation on low-income women’s reproductive systems; and the forcible removal of Indigenous children,” it said.

Pelosi Rages: Slapped Women in the Face! (VIDEO)

[Nancy] Pelosi said, “I do think that it puts an urgency on what’s happening in the election. Two more- one or two more senators could sweep back the filibuster rule for this purpose, and then women would have a right to choose. This is about something so serious and so personal and so disrespectful of women. Here we are on Mother’s Day, a week where the court has slapped women in the face in terms of disrespect for their judgments about the size and timing of their families. So, the fact is, let’s keep our eye on the ball. The ball is in the court of those justices. One of them at least said over and over again that precedent had been established again and again on Roe v. Wade and that- so this decision is about being anti-precedent and anti-privacy and has serious ramifications as we go- as we go down this path and has to be softened. And I don’t think there’s a good outcome, but there’s a better outcome as far as this is concerned.”

Senator: Biden Is ‘Threatening the Lives of These Justices’

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) accused President Joe Biden of unleashing an angry “mob” by refusing to condemn people protesting outside the homes of Supreme Court justices.

Cruz, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, argued the protests outside of Supreme Court justices’ homes are endangering the lives of the justices while the Left continues to embrace the tactic. People have gathered outside of the Supreme Court and around the country this week to protest the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade, indicated in a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion last week.

“It was shameful that the White House refused to condemn violent protesters threatening the families of the Supreme Court,” Cruz told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. “Joe Biden used to be chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Joe Biden knows it’s disgraceful. He’s literally threatening the lives of these justices by the mob they’re unleashing.”

Russia’s Senior Commanders Are Headed to the Front Lines in Ukraine: UK

Several senior Russian commanders are joining the fighting in Ukraine after their predecessors died in battle, according to the United Kingdom.

After more than two months of fighting and thousands of Russian soldiers killed, including an estimated 12 generals, Russian military leadership is poised to become more intimately involved in the war in Ukraine. The U.K. Ministry of Defense said on Sunday that “difficulties in command and control” are drawing senior officials to the front lines of the war effort.

“Russian commanders rarely delegate operational authority to their subordinates,” the ministry said, “who in turn do not gain vital leadership experience.”

Without that “vital leadership experience,” Russian forces have failed to make much headway in their “special operation” to conquer Ukraine. (Read more from “Russia’s Senior Commanders Are Headed to the Front Lines in Ukraine: UK” HERE)

Corporations Stay Quiet on Abortion After Disney’s Disastrous Tangle With DeSantis

Corporations previously outspoken about hot-button social issues have stayed quiet on the likely overturning of Roe v. Wade after a dramatic fight between Disney and Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the company’s political activism.

Following the leak of a draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade, Democrats are trying to ram through a bill legalizing third trimester abortions; however, corporations are largely staying out of the fray, following Disney’s disastrous battle with Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that ended with the company losing its special tax privileges.

CNBC and Fortune contacted dozens of the largest corporations in the U.S., but few of them gave any comments about the landmark case.

Disney has not commented on the draft opinion, nor have American Airlines, Walmart, Facebook, Microsoft or Comcast, according to CNBC, though all of the companies have been outspoken on politics and social issues in the past.

Zeno, a massive public relations firm that advises Coca-Cola, Hershey’s, Salesforce, Netflix and Starbucks, advised its clients not to comment on the overturning of Roe, according to Popular Information, citing a client memo.
