Vatican Places a Sex Abuser in a Home Near Elementary School

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Kansas elementary school says it had no idea that a former Catholic cardinal alleged to have abused several young men over the course of several decades was placed in a rectory just next door, KansasCity.com reports.

Theodore McCarrick resigned as a cardinal back in July after a review board discovered credible claims of sexual abuse dating back nearly 50 years. McCarrick is alleged to have abused at least one minor and three adults, all seminarians or young priests, under McCarricks tutelage. His youngest victim was reportedly 11 years old.

The Vatican announced Friday that McCarrick had been “relocated” to Victoria, Kansas, where he is expected to live out the rest of his days in prayer and penance, unless Catholic Church officials deem it necessary that McCarrick face further sanctions. . .

Victoria Elementary only found out that McCarrick was living nearby at the St. Fidelis friary when parents mentioned the issue on social media, despite the fact that McCarrick is credibly accused of assaulting a minor.

Bishop Gerald L. Vincke of the Diocese of Salina, who reportedly worked with the Vatican to secure McCarrick’s living arrangements, says McCarrick is not allowed to leave the friary or make public appearances. (Read more from “Vatican Places a Sex Abuser in a Home Near Elementary School” HERE)

Schumer Admits Democrats Have a Strategy to Keep Kavanaugh From Being Confirmed. Here’s Their Plan.

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. While the FBI completes a seventh background check on Judge Brett Kavanaugh and investigates multiple allegations of sexual assault, the Democrats have launched a new tactic to keep the judge from being confirmed: punch holes in his statements and make people question his credibility.

According to Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Kavanaugh was “mislead[ing] senators about everything from the momentous to the mundane,” to make sure he was confirmed to the Supreme Court.

“The harsh fact of the matter is that we have mounting evidence that Judge Kavanaugh is just not credible,” Schumer told the Associated Press on Monday. (Read more from “Schumer Admits Democrats Have a Strategy to Keep Kavanaugh From Being Confirmed. Here’s Their Plan.” HERE)

Trump Gets Rare Praise From Schumer After Deal to Replace Nafta

By Market Watch. President Donald Trump on Monday got rare kudos from the man he has sometimes referred to as “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer,” as the Senate minority leader joined those in welcoming a replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Fellow New Yorkers Schumer and Trump have had an on-again, off-again relationship, at times trading verbal jabs but also striking a debt-ceiling deal in September 2017.

Schumer once said negotiating with Trump was like negotiating “with Jell-O.” His statement Monday, meanwhile, said he knew that Nafta “needed fixing,” and that he wanted to see details of the deal Trump discussed in a Rose Garden news conference.

Bombshell: Mutual Friends of Kavanaugh, Ramirez Have Text Messages Suggesting…

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two mutual friends of Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Deborah Ramirez from Yale, Kerry Berchem and Karen Yarasavage, have damning text messages, NBC News reported. According to Berchem, Kavanaugh and his team were texting her asking her to refute Ramirez’s sexual assault allegations before her allegations were published in The New Yorker piece.

From NBC News:

The texts between Berchem and Karen Yarasavage, both friends of Kavanaugh, suggest that the nominee was personally talking with former classmates about Ramirez’s story in advance of the New Yorker article that made her allegation public. In one message, Yarasavage said Kavanaugh asked her to go on the record in his defense. Two other messages show communication between Kavanaugh’s team and former classmates in advance of the story.

The texts also demonstrate that Kavanaugh and Ramirez were more socially connected than previously understood and that Ramirez was uncomfortable around Kavanaugh when they saw each other at a wedding 10 years after they graduated. Berchem’s efforts also show that some potential witnesses have been unable to get important information to the FBI.

Berchem contacted the FBI on Sunday night to hand the text messages over as part of their investigation into Ramirez’s allegations. When she failed to receive a response from the bureau, she typed up a memo and included texts that she thought were most relevant.

Professor: White GOP Senators ‘Deserve Miserable Deaths’ – Here’s Why

/0 Comments/in , /by

Georgetown University Distinguished Associate Professor Christine Fair tweeted that white Republican senators in the Brett Kavanaugh hearing deserve to die.

“Look at thus [sic] chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement,” Fair tweeted on Thursday. Referencing a video of “Lindsey Graham’s tirade,” Fair, who is a victim of sexual assault, added, “all of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps.” . . .

“Professor Fair’s extremely offensive and violent remark goes against everything in line with Georgetown’s values,” TJ Collins, a recent Georgetown graduate told Campus Reform. “President DeGioia should immediately issue a statement condemning the tweet, and Professor Fair should not be permitted in the classroom ever again,” Collins added.

“As a student applying to this school, I wouldn’t have dared use that kind of language on a social media platform, especially surrounding a sensitive and controversial issue. Georgetown wouldn’t have admitted me if they had seen stuff like that,” a current Georgetown student who wished to remain anonymous, told Campus Reform. . .

In addition to her colorful Twitter timeline, Fair also runs a blog called ShitMenSay. “This is where I post snarcastic missives based upon the shit men (and sometimes woman-hating women) say to me via email, voicemail and comments ‘deposited’ on my various social media like celestial droppings of stupidity,” Fair writes in the blog description.

Poll Reveals How Voters Truly Feel About Kavanaugh

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. A new poll finds that 58 percent of voters in West Virginia think Brett Kavanaugh should be confirmed to the Supreme Court following his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

The Public Opinion strategies poll commissioned by the Judicial Crisis Network found an overwhelming majority of West Virginians (59 percent) thought Kavanaugh’s testimony was more believable than Christine Blasey Ford, who accused the federal judge of sexually assaulting her more than 35 years ago at a drunken high school party. Those who believe Kavanaugh include 81 percent of Republicans, 43 percent of Democrats and 62 percent of Independent voters.

New Poll Shows Missouri Voters Rejecting Sen. Mccaskill for Opposing Kavanaugh

By The Federalist. A new poll finds that Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill has fallen behind her Republican opponent due to her opposition to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

A new poll by Remington Research Group found that of the 1,555 likely Missouri voters surveyed late last week, 48 percent said they were planning to vote for Republican candidate Josh Hawley while 46 percent said they planned to vote for McCaskill.

When asked if McCaskill’s opposition to Kavanaugh affected their voting decision, 49 percent said it made them less likely to vote for the Democratic senator, while only 42 percent it made them more likely to vote for her.

The incumbent Democrat is in a hotly contested race, and support for Hawley has been surging in the polls over the past month. The Real Clear Politics poll average puts Hawley ahead of McCaskill by one point and shows that the race has grown increasingly competitive going into November.

Pastor of Chicago’s First ‘Gay’ Catholic Parish Was Found Dead Attached to ‘Sex Machine’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The last pastor of Chicago’s first officially “gay parish,” Fr. Daniel Montalbano was found dead in his rectory bedroom hooked up to a “sex machine” in 1997, according to the pastor of Montalbano’s second parish in a recent video interview.

According to Fr. Paul Kalchik, the recently-removed pastor of Montalbano’s second parish, Resurrection, Montalbano’s room in Resurrection’s rectory had body-sized mirrors lining one of the walls, and two closets full of homosexual porn materials, which had to be carted out along with the sex machine and destroyed following the discovery of Montalbano’s body.

Fr. Montalbano had been the pastor of the “gay friendly” St. Sebastian parish until 1990, after a fire destroyed part of the interior the year before, leading to a permanent closing of the parish. The priest was then transferred to Resurrection parish. Two different homosexualist groups, Dignity Chicago and the Archdiocesan Gay and Lesbian Outreach of Chicago (AGLO), had used St. Sebastian parish for their meetings and activities with the blessing of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin.

Montalbano was himself a “practicing” homosexual, according to Fr. Kalchik, and had hung a flag with the rainbow “gay pride” colors and a cross superimposed on it in the sanctuary during the Mass after he had first moved to Resurrection in 1991. The flag appears to have been taken from St. Sebastian parish, where it had been used by the LGBT groups there.

Fr. Kalchik made the remarks in an interview with Michael Voris of Church Militant published on September 26, following the priest’s expulsion from Resurrection parish in apparent retaliation for burning the LGBT flag, an act which Cupich had ordered Kalchik to cancel.

Trump’s New Strategy ‘Is Working,’ Afghan Leader Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Despite seventeen years of war with no apparent victory in sight for the U.S-led effort, the chief executive of Afghanistan, Abdullah Abdullah, insists that the Trump administration’s renewed approach to the stalemate conflict “is working.”

“Imagine a situation without that commitment. Things would be very different. It is working,” he told Fox News in an exclusive interview during last week’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. “They announced a strategy and mobilized other countries and partners in NATO. They doubled the size of our Afghan Commandos, they’ve supported our Air Force — which is important in the way of Medevacs transporting the injured. These things are going to take time, but it is working.”

Most significantly, Abdullah said, is the Trump team’s “conditions-based” procedure rather than the Obama administration’s “time-based” plan, which entailed a 2014 drawdown and has been widely condemned to have enabled the Taliban to simply regroup and wait.

“These sorts of policies will yield results; you will see fruition. It won’t be in a matter of days or months, but as long as it’s the right track it will bring results,” he continued, noting that while it is too hard to give an estimated time frame of how long U.S. troops will be needed on the ground, it “won’t be a 50-year engagement.”

Army. Gen. John Nicholson, the former commander of NATO’s Resolute Support – the name given to the Afghan mission after 2014 – echoed such a sentiment of slow success in his final press conference on the state of affairs in Afghanistan in late August, indicating that they were “on a glide path to reduce our forces and eventually close down the mission” and that the “enemy believed we had lost our will to win” prior to President Trump’s welcomed new South Asia effort in August 2017.

McDonald’s Employee Accused of Putting Cleaner in Cop’s Drink

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Kansas McDonald’s worker has been charged with one count of aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer for allegedly putting cleaner in a deputy’s drink.

Trevor Hockaday, 22, was charged Wednesday by Allen County police for putting a peroxide-based cleaner usually used to clean the restaurant’s counters in an Allen County Deputy’s drink on September 12.

According to investigators, the deputy picked up the food from the McDonald’s drive-thru while Hockaday was working. Officials say a short time after drinking the beverage, the deputy experienced flu-like symptoms, KOAM reports. . .

According to the publication, a coworker of Hockaday came forward and said Hockaday added “four little squirts” of the cleaner to the cop’s beverage.

“In today’s day and age, not only us in law enforcement but citizens as a whole, there’s enough going on out there that we have to worry about … now my guys are cautious about going through that drive through,” Murphy said to the Wichita Eagle. “We all chose this line of work to protect and serve. Now my guys have that concern of is my food safe.” (Read more from “McDonald’s Employee Accused of Putting Cleaner in Cop’s Drink” HERE)

The War on Kavanaugh Is All About the Pro-Abortion Left’s Lust for Power

/1 Comment/in , /by

By Life Site News. We may never be able to prove whether Christine Blasey Ford is sincerely misremembering a traumatic event or deliberately slandering a political enemy, but two things are clear: Brett Kavanaugh almost certainly never touched her, and liberals simply don’t care.

They don’t care about the complete lack of evidence that the house party even happened, let alone that Kavanaugh tried to rape her at one. They don’t care about the holes and inconsistencies in Ford’s various retellings. They don’t care that decades’ worth of friends, fellow lawyers and judges, law clerks, and FBI background investigators never found the slightest hint that Kavanaugh was a secret sex predator. . .

As LifeSiteNews covered earlier this week, Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii said outright she was “put[ting] his denial in the context of everything that I know about him in terms of how he approaches his cases,” particularly the fact that “he very much is against women’s reproductive choice.”

There it is: if the Left thinks you pose a threat to Roe v. Wade, basic standards of evidence, fairness, and due process (which isn’t legally binding on appointment confirmations, but was widely accepted as a moral guide until five minutes ago) get thrown out the window. You must be destroyed by any means necessary, with truth, reputational harm, and family anguish be damned.

The abortion lobby was already intensely mobilized against Kavanaugh; now Planned Parenthood is fundraising not merely on the assault narrative but on an even flimsier story from another accuser with a preposterous tale of gang-rape parties that she supposedly kept going to without telling anyone. The Soros-funded Women’s March is pushing #WeBelieveChristine hashtags. (Read more from “The War on Kavanaugh Is All About the Pro-Abortion Left’s Lust for Power” HERE)

Hillary Clinton Repeats Anti-Kavanaugh Talking Point Debunked by Fact Checkers

By Fox News. Hillary Clinton on Wednesday repeated a Democratic talking point about Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s use of the phrase “abortion-inducing drugs” — a claim that has been repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers.

“I want to be sure we’re all clear about something that Brett Kavanaugh said in his confirmation hearings last week,” she tweeted. “He referred to birth-control pills as “abortion-inducing drugs.” That set off a lot of alarm bells for me, and it should for you, too.”

. . .

“Did Brett Kavanaugh call birth control abortion-inducing drugs? No” read the headline of Politifact’s fact check — which rated the statement “False.”

“In Harris’ tweet, Kavanaugh appears to define contraception as abortion-inducing. But the video failed to include a crucial qualifier: ‘They said.’ In fact, he was citing the definition of the religious group Priests for Life. He has not expressed his personal view,” Politifact’s check said. (Read more from “Hillary Clinton Repeats Anti-Kavanaugh Talking Point Debunked by Fact Checkers” HERE)

Mystery: Someone Doxxed Republican Senators During the Kavanaugh Hearings

/0 Comments/in , /by

As Brett Kavanaugh testified Thursday in the Senate, refuting allegations that he sexually assaulted Dr. Christine Blasey Ford when the pair were both teenagers, a mystery was brewing in the House of Representatives, where someone connected to a House computer was “doxxing” select Senators — surreptitiously editing Wikipedia to reveal the private names and addresses of prominent Judiciary Committee Republicans. . .

As soon as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) concluded his fiery remarks describing the Kavanaugh affair as “the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics,” information for Graham and Republican Senators Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch, both of Utah, appeared on the online encyclopedia.

Not all of the information was correct. One phone number purportedly belonging to Graham redirected to a D.C. non-profit called the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League (or SMYAL).

The information was removed almost as quickly as it was discovered, and after a raucous, bipartisan outcry on Twitter, and the bot’s administrators deleted the Tweets. The damage was done, however, and the intent was clear: someone in the House was hoping leftist (or anti-Kavanaugh) activists would jam senators’ cell phones and protest Republicans at their private residences — something several prominent leftists have been suggesting on Twitter.
