Watch: Mountain Goats in Colorado Increasingly Showing ‘Unnatural Behavior’

“Do not feed wildlife” is a warning officials in Colorado have issued as mountain goats have been trying to cozy up with humans — a behavior deemed “unnatural.”

On Tuesday, Colorado Parks and Wildlife urged people who hike Mount Evans, a peak in the Rocky Mountains, to “do their part in helping keep wildlife wild by not feeding any animals they encounter and keeping a safe distance from them.”

Officials said mountain goats have been observed in the area throughout 2018 “licking vehicles for the salt on them, putting heads inside open car windows, running toward the sound of crinkling food wrappers, running towards people holding food, entering restrooms and tolerating large groups of people surrounding them to take photographs and videos from unsafe distances.” . . .

The Colorado agency explained the goats’ behavior is probably because of their experience being close to humans — whether being fed, or being close to them while they take photos.

In an attempt to curb the problematic interactions between the goats and humans, Parks and Wildlife says it’s started “reinstating the natural fear of humans by using hazing tactics on the wildlife” including sound and direct contact from tasers, cattle prods, paintball guns, and a K-9 officer to “haze offending animals away from people and cars.” (Read more from “Watch: Mountain Goats in Colorado Increasingly Showing ‘Unnatural Behavior'” HERE)

AOC Is Facing a Huge Lawsuit – Here’s the Hilarious Reason Why

Former Democratic New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind filed a lawsuit against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. in federal court on Tuesday for blocking users on Twitter based on their personal viewpoints, following a federal appeals court ruling earlier in the day barring President Trump from doing the same.

“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has blocked me on Twitter yesterday apparently because my critique of her tweets and policies have been too stinging,” Hikind said in a statement announcing the suit, which was filed in the Eastern District of New York and obtained by Fox News.

“Just today the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a ruling that elected officials cannot block individuals from their Twitter accounts, thereby setting a precedent that Ocasio-Cortez must follow,” he added. “Twitter is a public space, and all should have access to the government officials on it.”

The First Amendment prohibits discrimination by government actors against a person’s free speech based on his or her viewpoints.

Hikind continued: “It’s unclear if Ocasio-Cortez is aware of this ruling or not, but either way, I have decided, after speaking with my legal counsel, to initiate a lawsuit against her for blocking me and a host of other public figures. Ocasio-Cortez is acting cowardly and should be ashamed of her attempts to silence me. I’ve done nothing but address her ignorance and disregard for the truth. She constantly brags about the millions of followers she has but is afraid of my speech. She is a hypocrite. (Read more from “AOC Is Facing a Huge Lawsuit – Here’s the Hilarious Reason Why” HERE)

Feds Reveal More Damning Evidence Found in Raid of Epstein’s NY Mansion; GOP Senator Goes OFF on ‘Pathetic’ Sentence

By Daily Wire. On Saturday, the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force arrested billionaire financier and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, 66, for the alleged sex trafficking of dozens of minors between 2002 and 2005. In court Monday, prosecutors revealed new evidence they say investigators uncovered in the weekend raid of Epstein’s Manhattan mansion: “nude photographs of what appeared to be underage girls.”

“Prosecutors say Jeffrey Epstein kept perhaps thousands of sexually suggestive photographs at his Manhattan mansion,” the Associated Press reported Monday. “Officials say in court papers Monday that the pictures included some on CDs with handwritten labels including ‘Misc nudes 1,’ ‘Girl pics nude’ and the names of specific young women. Prosecutors say federal agents found some of the photos ‘of young-looking women or girls’ in a locked safe while searching the seven-story town house after the wealthy financier’s arrest Saturday on sex trafficking charges.”

One of the girls pictured among the “thousands” of photographs told investigators that she was underage when the sexually suggestive photos were taken, AP reports.

Thus far, Epstein has been charged with two counts: sex trafficking and the conspiracy to commit sex trafficking through “creating and maintaining [a] network of minor victims in multiple states to sexually abuse and exploit” (see charges below). The new evidence secured during the execution of the search warrant Saturday may result in additional charges involving child pornography. . .

In 2008, Epstein struck a secret deal with federal prosecutors over charges for one count of solicitation of prostitution and one count of solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18 that allowed him to avoid prison time, but in February, a Palm Beach judge ruled the deal unconstitutional. Epstein’s current charges carry a maximum sentence of 45 years in prison. (Read more from “Feds Reveal More Damning Evidence Found in Raid of Epstein’s NY Mansion” HERE)

Ben Sasse: Epstein’s Sentence ‘Pathetic,’ Government Must ‘Protect the Powerless’

By Fox News. Republican Sen. Ben Sasse had strong words for wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein while appearing on “The Story with Martha MacCallum” Monday, calling his initial sentence absurd and saying the government exists to “protect the powerless.”

“This guy victimized dozens, probably scores, of little girls, and the sentence he got was pathetic. And, every mom and dad in America, frankly not just moms and dads but anybody with a heart, should be heartbroken by what happened here to those girls, to those victims, but also with the absurdity of a sentence that short,” the Nebraska senator said.

An indictment alleging sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy was unsealed Monday against Epstein, the wealthy and politically connected financier who pleaded not guilty during his initial appearance in a New York City federal court. Prosecutors alleged that Epstein, 66, who was arrested on Saturday, preyed on “dozens” of victims as young as 14.

Diane Douglas Says AZ Secretary of State, Others, Promote Pedophilia in Schools; Pedophiles “Rebrand” Themselves To Gain Acceptance

By KTAR. Former Arizona public schools chief Diane Douglas accused her successor and the secretary of state of promoting pedophilia.

In a Facebook post last week, Douglas said she believed the “medically & scientifically accurate” sex education guidelines that current Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman supports are an effort to “get kids to be accepting of sex with adults.”

Douglas also said two pride flags Secretary of State Katie Hobbs hung briefly at the Capitol building late last month were promoting pedophilia. . .

School districts and charter schools use the state’s sex education guidelines to set curriculum. Parents can have their children opt in or out of the lessons.

The Arizona State Board of Education decided to let existing guidelines stand after parents, state lawmakers and advocates spent hours voicing their opposition to the proposed changes. Douglas was among those who spoke out against the changes. (Read more from “Diane Douglas Says AZ Secretary of State, Others, Promote Pedophilia in Schools” HERE)

Pedophiles Believe They Should Be a Part of the LGBT Community

By Daily Caller. Pedophiles are rebranding themselves as “MAPs” or “Minor Attracted Persons” in an effort to gain acceptance and be included into the LGBT community, according to several reports from LGBT news sites.

According to Urban Dictionary, the blanket term MAP includes infantophiles (infants), pedophiles (pre-pubescent children), hebephiles (pubescent children), and ephebophiles (post-pubescent children). Some MAPs also refer to themselves as NOMAPs or “Non-Offending Minor Attracted Persons”.

These pedophiles seek to be a part of the LGBT+ community, even going so far as to make a “Pride” flag for Gay Pride Month.

Pedophile Billionaire Epstein Arrested, Charged with Sex Trafficking; Pelosi’s Daughter Warns It’s ‘Quite Likely That Some of Our Faves Are Implicated’

By Townhall. Jeffrey Epstein has been a name floated in MeToo era, but as some have noted, has largely escaped accountability for the heinous allegations that have been lobbed against him. He’s been accused of molesting and trafficking underage girls for years. The man is well connected, with ties to British royalty, former President Bill Clinton, and President Trump. . .

Epstein escaped serious federal charges on his alleged proclivities in 2007, but it seems the chickens have come home to roost. He was arrested for trafficking underage girls yesterday and will appear in court Monday. The Miami Herald had a three-part series on how Epstein used his connections and his wealth to escape accountability. The man is a billionaire former hedge fund manager with ties to some of the most powerful people in the world and access to platinum status-level defense lawyers. Yeah, I could see how he got his golden ticket back then. Not so much now.

Christine Pelosi Warns It’s ‘Quite Likely That Some of Our Faves Are Implicated’ in ‘Horrific’ Epstein Case

By Fox News. Christine Pelosi, a Democratic National Committee official and daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, warned conspicuously on Saturday evening that it is “quite likely that some of our faves are implicated” in the “horrific” sex-trafficking case against politically connected financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein is due in court following his sudden arrest Saturday in New York on new sex-trafficking charges involving allegations dating to the early 2000s, according to law enforcement officials. He has been accused of paying underage girls for massages and sexually abusing them at his mansion in Palm Beach, Fla., and in New York City. His 72-acre private estate on the Virgin Islands, a home said to be nicknamed “Orgy Island,” also has been under scrutiny.

“This Epstein case is horrific and the young women deserve justice,” Pelosi tweeted. “It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may – whether on Republicans or Democrats.”

Multiple Females Allegedly Push, Punch Former College Linebacker over His MAGA Hat. He Handles It like a Gentleman.

. . .As [Daniel] Weldon tells it, he ventured out to celebrate the Fourth of July with a friend and was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat — the iconic symbol of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. After he and his friend parted ways, the former football player said trouble found him.

“I’m at Pita Pit, and I get surrounded by like 7 guys and girls,” he wrote on Facebook. “They start yelling at me [because] of what I’m wearing (hat and pin). They were calling me names and saying how awful of a person I was (I’m saying back this is why we’re winning in 2020).” . . .

“The 4 or 5 girls start pushing me and punching,” Weldon added. “I’m a former college linebacker, so I can take a hit, and it’s not a big deal, right? But one snatched my hat and tried to throw it away while another ripped my pin and tossed it. The dudes they were with actually ended up deescalating the situation after the girls got violent and pulled them outside. I use the restroom and come back to one of them giving me the bird.”

And despite the physical attacks he said he endured, Weldon told the outlet the only thing he did in response was grab his hat so it stayed on his head and pick his pin off the ground.

“My mama raised me right,” he told the College Fix. “I am not going to touch a girl.” (Read more from “Multiple Females Allegedly Push, Punch Former College Linebacker over His MAGA Hat. He Handles It like a Gentleman.” HERE)

Young Man Severely Burned After Saving 8-Year-Old from House Fire

A Washington man, who has been hospitalized with serious burns all over his body after he rushed into a burning home to save his 8-year-old niece, told reporters from his hospital bed that he would do it again.

Derrick Byrd, 20, of Aberdeen, which is about a two-hour drive from Seattle, told KOMO News, “I’d do it again, I really would.” . . .

Byrd said when the fire broke out he immediately tried to help his sister get her three young children out of the home through the second-floor window. . .

Byrd told the station he caught his 6-year-old nephew and his sister’s baby but her 8-year-old daughter, Mercedes, was too afraid to jump. . .

“She was screaming my name,” Byrd told the station. “So, I wasn’t just going to let her sit there. I wasn’t going to let my niece die.” (Read more from “Young Man Severely Burned After Saving 8-Year-Old from House Fire” HERE)

U.S. School District Teaches PEDOPHILIA as a Sexual Orientation

A conservative group claimed that students in a California school district were being taught that pedophilia is a sexual orientation. . .

According to the Freedom Project, a “top official” for the Brea Olinda School District told parents that students were learning about pedophilia and pederasty from a historical perspective. . .

The information purportedly came to light during a March parent information meeting with the district. The district held the meeting to inform and review with parents the state’s Healthy Youth Act. The California Healthy Youth Act requires that students in grades seven through 12 receive “comprehensive” sexual health education, including education on HIV/AIDS. Lawmakers passed the act in 2015. . .

District Assistant Superintendent of Curricula Kerrie Torres explained that the district taught about pedophilia and pederasty when discussing “historical perspectives of how gender relations and different types of sexual orientations have existed in history” with regard to a portion on LGBTQ history. . .

[Left-wing, Establishment-supporting] Snopes reported that a district representative told them that pedophilia and pederasty was previously mentioned in a slideshow bullet point on the district curriculum, but noted that they pulled the verbiage from the slide because of its ambiguous nature.

Corporate Media Push Trump-Jeffrey Epstein Conspiracy Theories Without Evidence

The establishment media is attempting to link President Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein without any evidence connecting him to the underage sex trafficking case against the billionaire hedge fund manager.

Immediately following a Daily Beast report revealing Epstein’s Saturday day arrest, a handful of news figures and outlets posted social media posts and stories painting a picture that the wealthy investor’s arrest was bad news for President Trump — with one editor even going as far to suggest he could be directly implicated in the case. . .

O’Brien’s post appears to have been the basis of a Business Insider story titled “Jeffrey Epstein: Trump once praised billionaire charged with sex trafficking minors for liking women ‘on the younger side.’” The article includes a 2000 picture featuring President Trump, first lady Melania Trump, with Epstein and his then-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. . .

Yahoo News published a similar article — “Sex-trafficking charges against Epstein could rock Trump’s cabinet” — rehashing the same Trump quote about Epstein while throwing together comments from far-left lawmakers such as Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), who has previously been humiliated for pushing debunked conspiracy theories about the president. Despite the hyperbolic headline, author Christopher Wilson buries a claim contradicting his premise eight paragraphs in — a quote from a lawyer representing a trio of Epstein accusers who explained that President Trump actually assisted authorities in building a civil lawsuit against the highly-connected investor.

“The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who, in 2009 when I served a lot of subpoenas on a lot of people, or at least gave notice to some pretty connected people, that I want to talk to them, is the only person who picked up the phone and said, let’s just talk,” Bradley Edwards told New York magazine. “I’ll give you as much time as you want. I’ll tell you what you need to know, and was very helpful, in the information that he gave, and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever, but had good information. That checked out and that helped us and we didn’t have to take a deposition of him in 2009.” Edwards has also said President Trump barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago “because Epstein sexually assaulted an underage girl at the club,” court documents say.

U.S. Marine Accused of Smuggling Illegal Aliens for $1,000

Federal prosecutors in California charged an active duty U.S. Marine for allegedly transporting illegal immigrants for financial gain. Smugglers allegedly offered the Marine a fee of $1,000 to transport the migrants.

On July 3, a San Diego Sector Border Patrol agent observed a black car picking up what they believed to be illegal aliens at a known pickup spot near Interstate 8 in southern California. The agent relayed the vehicle’s description to other agents patrolling in the area. Another agent observed the vehicle matching the description and pulled the driver over, according to a criminal complaint provided to Breitbart News by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The Border Patrol agent told prosecutors the traffic stop occurred approximately seven miles north of the California-Mexico border and 20 miles east of the Tecate Port of Entry. During an immigration interview, the agent identified the driver as Byron Darnell Law II, a U.S. citizen. He also identified the front seat passenger as David Javier Salazar-Quintero, a U.S. citizen. In the back seat, the agent identified three passengers as citizens of Mexico who are illegally in the U.S. . .

Border Patrol agents said they advised Law of his Miranda Rights and he agreed to speak with them without an attorney. Law told the investigating agent that he is an active duty Marine assigned to Camp Pendleton. He told the agent that Salazar organized the alleged smuggling event, according to the criminal complaint. He reportedly told the agent that Salazar contacted him and asked him if he would be willing to make a trip to pick up the illegal immigrants for a fee of $1,000.

Law continued, explaining that on July 2, Salazar was in communication with a spotter who coordinated the meeting between Law and a Mexican national being smuggled, the complaint continues. In the first event, they picked up a single migrant and drove him to a McDonald’s parking lot in Del Mar, California, Law continued. They met with another person who took custody of the person being smuggled. (Read more from “U.S. Marine Accused of Smuggling Illegal Aliens for $1,000” HERE)
