Trump Jr.: Everyone Should Share the Same Bathroom (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Donald Trump Jr. said “no one cares” which bathrooms transgender people use and that he would be okay if everyone just used the same bathroom.

“I’m a builder. I would love to build one universal bathroom,” the president’s son said in a Monday interview on Dave Rubin’s Rubin Report. “We’re real estate people. If I don’t have to build dual bathrooms I could actually save a lot of money. I wish everyone would share a bathroom. I think it’d be wonderful.”

The comment came during a discussion over transgender issues on the show. Trump Jr. said he was “live and let live” in regards to gay and transgender people, but that he was concerned that the movement had become about more than equality. He singled out men who had transitioned into women competing in women’s sports as a problematic way the gay and transgender lobby was no longer about equality.

Roman Polanski Accused of Violently Raping Teenager

/0 Comments/in , /by

Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski was accused by a French former model and actress on Friday of raping her at his Swiss ski resort when she was 18. . .

This is the latest accusation against the Polish-born octogenarian, who was convicted of the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl and then fled to France in 1978. He has since been a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system. . .

In the winter of 1975, [Valentine] Monnier said she was not acquainted with Polanski when she agreed to go skiing at his Swiss chalet. She had tagged along with a group of friends.

“Life had not trained me to be suspicious,” she said. When she arrived upstairs, she said Polanski was nude and attacked her, hitting her and ripping off her clothes before violently assaulting her. (Read more from “Roman Polanski Accused of Violently Raping Teenager” HERE)

University Ends Veterans Day 21-Gun Salute Because of ‘Gun Violence in the U.S.’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The University of Virginia is coming under fire over a decision to change a part of its annual Veterans Day ceremony.

The university will still hold a Veterans Day ceremony on Monday, but it will no longer include the 21-gun salute. It’s a decision UVA leaders say will not change.

The Provost’s office, in conjunction with the colonel of UVA’s ROTC program, made the decision. The ceremony marks the conclusion of a 24-hour vigil by ROTC cadets and has included the 21-gun salute for more than a decade.

“One is that it would be disruptive to classes and two unfortunately with gun violence in the U.S., there was some concern that we would cause a panic if someone heard gunshots on grounds,” said UVA President Jim Ryan.

Veterans like Jay Levine are upset with the decision. Levine went through the ROTC program at UVA and says the 21-gun salute is the ultimate salute to those who have served and passed away. (Read more from “University Ends Veterans Day 21-Gun Salute Because of ‘Gun Violence in the U.S.'” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two employees of a North Carolina fast food restaurant are likely regretting the decision to refuse service to a veteran police officer, because they’re both out of a job. . .

Roxboro Police Chief David Hess said that veteran police officer Kenneth Horton was allegedly denied service by a cashier at the restaurant. Horton is also a U.S. Army veteran.

The story began spreading in the community and eventually got to the management of the fast food chain.

The cashier and the manager of the store were fired from their jobs as a result.

Hess made it clear that the police had nothing to do with the firing of the employees. (Read more from “These Fast Food Employees Probably Really Regret Denying Service to Veteran Police Officer” HERE)

WATCH: Female MMA Fighter Takes Down Anti-Trump ‘Professor’ Who Started Fight Over American Flag

/0 Comments/in , , /by

MMA fighter Tara LaRosa said she used her jiujitsu skills to take down a woman who allegedly started a fight during a Portland, Oregon, flag wave honoring veterans Sunday.

LaRosa livestreamed the flag wave on an overpass above Interstate 84 when the physical altercation started between the woman and a female from LaRosa’s group, the members of which were wearing “Make America Great Again” hats — the iconic symbol of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign — and insignias for the controversial Proud Boys. . .

[WARNING: video contains explicit language.]

LaRosa told police that her group was on the overpass, facing passing cars and waving flags, when the woman approached them from behind and noticed their insignias and repeatedly said “f*** Proud Boys.” The woman then attacked a female from the flag-waving group, LaRosa said, and that’s when the MMA fighter stepped in.

LaRosa added to cops that the woman punched her eight to 10 times and bit her breast through her clothing:

How One Veteran Is Using His Experience Overcoming Addiction to Help Other Veterans

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Marine Corps veteran Frank Britton is using his personal experience to help other veterans overcome substance abuse and find employment.

Britton, 60, has gone through several relapses over the past three decades but has been clean for more than four years after receiving support from the nonprofit organization Easterseals, which provides services to people with disabilities and helps veterans transition back into their communities after receiving treatment for drug use or other traumas. . .

But despite the honor that comes with carrying a military title, Britton said he feels for the veterans who can’t get the help they need after coming home from war, especially those who fought in Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq.

“These guys, when they come home, they’re not getting the help they need to endure what they went through,” he told the DCNF. That’s part of the reason so many veterans suffer from addiction, especially now while the opioid crisis is sweeping through the country.

More than 130 people died of an opioid overdose every day in the U.S. in 2017, amounting to more than 47,000 deaths from opioid overdoses that year, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) citing 2018 data from Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

Christian Businesswoman and Mother Sentenced to 15 Years in Kuwait Prison

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Kuwaiti court sentenced a Russian national and mother of a 5-year-old U.S. citizen to 15 years in prison Monday, her attorneys told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

This is the second time Marsha Lazareva has been sentenced since the Kuwait government arrested her in 2017 while doing business in the country under charges of embezzlement. The country sentenced her to 10 years of prison and hard labor in May 2018, though her attorneys told the DCNF she did nothing wrong.

A Kuwaiti appeals court recognized Lazareva, who held U.S. green-card status before her 2017 arrest, was unlawfully convicted on May 5. The country released her in June after she spent about 472 days in prison. Her legal team posted millions of dollars in bail and a judge overturned her conviction, according to her lawyers.

But Kuwaiti officials again convicted Lazareva on two more charges in a different case Monday despite a “complete absence of evidence,” her attorneys told the DCNF, though they could not disclose more details about the charges.

“In Defense of Christians is very disappointed by the conviction Monday of Marsha Lazareva, the Orthodox Christian woman being wrongfully held in Kuwait, and its impact on her five-year-old son who is with her,” Peter Burns, policy director of the nonprofit human rights organization In Defense of Christians, said in a statement to the DCNF.

San Francisco’s New DA: Public Urination ‘Will Not Be Prosecuted’

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Chesa Boudin, the urine-and-feces-plagued city’s incoming district attorney, pledged during the campaign not to prosecute public urination and other quality-of-life crimes if he was elected. Boudin declared victory Saturday night after results showed him winning a plurality of votes in the DA race.

“We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes. Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted,” Boudin vowed in response to an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) questionnaire during the campaign. . .

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders cheered Boudin’s victory in the election. “Now is the moment to fundamentally transform our racist and broken criminal justice system by ending mass incarceration, the failed war on drugs and the criminalization of poverty,” the Vermont Sen. wrote on Twitter Saturday, congratulating Boudin on his “historic victory!”

Report: Google Secretly Collecting Data on Millions of Americans

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tech giant Google is reportedly engaged in collecting the personal health information of tens of millions of Americans across 21 states — a project dubbed “Project Nightingale” — and has not notified patients or doctors about what they are doing.

“Google began Project Nightingale in secret last year with St. Louis-based Ascension, a Catholic chain of 2,600 hospitals, doctors’ offices and other facilities, with the data sharing accelerating since summer,” according to internal documents obtained exclusively by The Wall Street Journal. “The data involved in the initiative encompasses lab results, doctor diagnoses and hospitalization records, among other categories, and amounts to a complete health history, including patient names and dates of birth.”

“Neither patients nor doctors have been notified,” the Journal added. “At least 150 Google employees already have access to much of the data on tens of millions of patients, according to a person familiar with the matter and the documents.”

Google teamed up with Ascension, a Catholic chain of 2,600 hospitals spread out over 21 states and in the District of Columbia, and other doctors offices launch the project last year.

Forbes reports that the project “involves Ascension moving patient records onto Google’s cloud servers and includes a search product that allows Ascension healthcare providers to see an ‘overview page’ about their patients. The page includes complete patient information as well as notes about patient medical issues, test results and medications, including information from scanned documents, according to presentations viewed by Forbes.” (Read more from “Report: Google Secretly Collecting Data on Millions of Americans” HERE)

Introducing Target’s ‘Gender Inclusive Gingerbread’ Christmas Sweater

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Over at Target, the world-famous Gingerbread Man has been given a makeover in the newly featured “Gender Inclusive Gingerbread” Christmas sweater, available now for the price of $29.99. Behold:

As the image shows, the new “Gender Inclusive Gingerbread” (fill in the blank) has no unique features distinguishing itself from the average Gingerbread Man, and yet, the Target online store literally bills it as the “Gender Inclusive Gingerbread Long Sleeve Sweater” with absolutely no accompanying description as to what classifies it as “gender-inclusive.” It’s as if the very utterance of Gingerbread Man (or even Gingerbread Woman) is in itself offensive. So what do we get? A sweatshirt with a character that looks exactly like the Gingerbread Man but is instead described as gender-inclusive.

Target is also not the only establishment catching wind of this new trend. According to Mirror, a coffee shop called The Tannery in Auckland, New Zealand, decided to put its own brand of gender-inclusive cookie by calling it the “gender-neutral person.” (Read more from “Introducing Target’s ‘Gender Inclusive Gingerbread’ Christmas Sweater” HERE)
