This Is the First Person Scheduled to Be Executed in 2018

Texas is set to execute a convicted serial-killer known as the “Tourniquet Killer” Thursday. It will be the first execution of a U.S. inmate in 2018.

Anthony Shore, 55, was scheduled for execution by lethal injection in Huntsville, Texas, at 6 p.m., Reuters reported Thursday.

Shore was convicted in 2004 of raping and/or murdering five girls and young women, using a homemade tourniquet to strangle them.

His gruesome crime spree took place during the 1980s and 1990s, and it is unlikely that there will be last-minute appeals to save his life.

His execution had already been scheduled for October 2017, but prosecutors postponed it because Shore was in an investigation regarding another inmate.

“Anthony Shore is the worst of the worst, a serial killer who took pleasure in his victims’ suffering,” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement. “Even Shore’s own family believes the death penalty is appropriate for his crimes.”

The oldest of his victims was 21-year-old Maria del Carmen Estrada, whose body was found nude in a Dairy Queen drive through in 1992.

Next by age was 16-year-old Dana Sanchez, murdered in 1995. He killed 14-year-old Laurie Tremblay in 1986 and raped an unnamed 14-year-old in 1993. His youngest victim was Dana Rebollar, a 9-year-old whom he raped and murdered in 1994.

Shore’s family has little sympathy for him, and his sister, Gina Shore, has gone so far as to say there must have been more victims than the five he’s known to have killed, according to the Houston Chronicle. As a result, she believes her brother’s execution is just and necessary.

“I think it will give closure. Then when people ask what about him, we can just say he’s dead,” Gina said. “I know in my heart without a doubt that there are more. There had to have been other girls.”

Mr. Shore avoided detection for 20 years after his last recorded murder and was only brought down as a result of his DNA being put on file in 1998 after he was convicted of molesting his daughters.

Police checked his DNA against cold cases and was able to match him with a murder. Shore has used everything in his power to avoid the death penalty since that time for nearly 20 years.

His most recent defense was that he’d experienced a personality-affecting brain injury when he got into a car crash in 1981, an excuse which his younger daughter, Tiffany Hall, isn’t buying.

“I think it’s a load of crap,” said Hall, now 32. “The only reason I can see him wanting a stay is so he can torture his victims and his family by being alive.”

Shore remained remarkably chipper during his time on death row, as was evidenced by his relentless correspondence with his family.

“I will likely get a stay, but ya’ just never know,” Shore wrote to his father in July 2017. “I’d prefer to live a bit longer but am ready if it’s God’s will.” (For more from the author of “This Is the First Person Scheduled to Be Executed in 2018” please click HERE)

Police Caught in Another Lie as Authorities Finally Admit to Multiple Suspects in Vegas Massacre

It has been months since the worst shooting in modern history was carried out in Las Vegas and Americans have been lied to, led astray, and essentially kept in the dark as to what went down that tragic evening. Official narratives have shifted like the tide; and despite dozens of lawsuits and media requests, very little information has been conceded by authorities—until now.

Three months later and Las Vegas Police have yet to even release a still image of Stephen Paddock inside the Mandalay Bay Casino and Resort. Police haven’t even released the type of gun Paddock used in the massacre.

The utter secrecy surrounding the case has some diligent local media pressing the police and, this week, some of that pressure has paid off.

As KVVU reports, inside a district courtroom on Jan. 16, a lawyer for multiple media outlets argued why information pertaining to 1 October is crucial to helping Las Vegas heal, but the lawyer for Metro Police said they can’t release any information because there are still suspects being investigated.

“Without naming names, there are potential charges against other people, because of the ongoing investigation?”, District Court Judge Elissa Cadish asked Metro’s Lawyer Nick Crosby.

“Yes there are charges being investigated,” Crosby replied.

This new revelation that Paddock may have had help or that other people may have had foreknowledge of the attack is nothing short of bombshell as they may be able to help in providing a motive, or at the very least, give a little insight into what actually happened that night.

According to KVVU, Metro police maintain because of possible new suspects they should not have to release anything pertaining to the obtaining of the search warrants or any evidence seized because of them.

Naturally, this left the media and attorneys for the victims with more questions than answers.

“Are they investigating obstruction of justice? Lies to Metro under oath from Mandalay Bay employees? Is it people who sold [Paddock] the guns or ammunition? Or did someone have knowledge of what he was going to do? Now [Metro Police] are just having us speculate more and more and more,” Craig Island, an attorney for some of the victims said.

When asked how long it may take for police to release any information on the possible suspects, Metro’s lawyer responded, maybe 60 days. Reporters also pointed out the fact that the admission of multiple suspects entirely contradicts the official narrative.

“Today is the first time we’ve heard there are additional suspects out there, this contradicts what they have been saying, [Sheriff] Lombardo has said there are no other suspects,” Maggie McCletchie, a lawyer for the media outlets said.

McCletchie argues Metro has had three months to show they are still investigating, and that there are in fact other suspects, and said enough is enough; the public has a right to know what happened, according to KVVU.

“There are important therapeutic effects of getting information out there after a tragedy,” she said. “The public has a right to know and shouldn’t just have to rely on what the sheriff and other law enforcement is saying.”

Metro police told the judge that telling the public why they can’t release the information would be damaging to the investigation. Judge Cadish, finding middle ground, gave Las Vegas police until the end of next week and noted that she would decide by then whether or not the information related to the search warrants for additional suspects will be released.

Media attorney McCletchie says that this is still too long as the victims have a right to know—now.

“The public has a dire need to know what happened on 1 October,” McCletchie said.

Interestingly enough, this information comes days after Joe Lombardo addressed the media and told Americans to forget about Vegas and move on.

The frustrating thing for me as the head of the law enforcement is the keyboard bandits the guys who sit at their couches at their home and Monday morning quarterback everything you do and that are smarter than you. The pressure that we are put under to do the right thing and I believe we did the right thing and I am not hiding anything from anybody. You know what I know. The reason why I say that it is just as important for you to be comfortable living here and have an understanding to prevent another event from taking place, for you to know what exactly happened. So, you know what exactly happened so far. I anticipate a press conference here in about a week to give you more information and to provide the media with more information associated with that event. But there will not be a keystone or an important piece associated with Mr. Paddock and why he did what he did, so it’s important for us to forget that and move on and be resilient.

Well, Lombardo, the families of the victims who want to know why their mother, father, son, or daughter was murdered that night have no plans of ‘forgetting.’ The pressure will continue to mount until the public knows everything you have been keeping under wraps.

Jobless Claims Lowest Since 1973

U.S. filings for unemployment benefits plummeted to the lowest level in almost 45 years in a sign the job market will tighten further in 2018, Labor Department figures showed Thursday . . .

The drop in claims shows that companies are increasingly holding on to their employees amid a shortage of skilled labor. Businesses are struggling to find workers to fill positions, particularly in manufacturing and construction, as cited in some anecdotes for the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book released Wednesday.

The figures suggest the unemployment rate of 4.1 percent, already the lowest since 2000, could be poised to decline further. The latest week for claims includes the 12th of the month, which is the reference period for the Labor Department’s monthly employment surveys.

Popular Website’s Headquarters Raided by NYPD

More than a dozen police showed up this morning at the office that serves as the shared headquarters for Newsweek magazine and IBT Media, which rebranded in 2017 as Newsweek Media Group, according to multiple sources who were present.

The reason for the visit was not clear, but one employee said police were taking photos of the company’s servers.

Employees said the police appeared to be from the NYPD, but a spokesperson for the NYPD said its officers were not involved, saying it was the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation. A spokesperson for the DA’s office declined to comment.

The office is at 7 Hanover Square in New York’s financial district. Police also visited the office in December, a former employee said. Employees were told that it was because a white substance had been mailed to Executive News Director Ken Li, which they were then told turned out to be a false alarm.

Representatives for Newsweek Group did not immediately respond to questions. (Read more from “Popular Website’s Headquarters Raided by NYPD” HERE)

Pope Apologizes for Pedophile Priests

On Tuesday, the first day of a week-long Latin-America trip, Pope Francis asked “for forgiveness” for the “irreparable damage” done to children who were raped and molested by Catholic priests in Chile.

The pontiff met with a small group of abuse survivors at a “strictly private” gathering at the Vatican’s Apostolic Nunciature embassy in the capital, Santiago, the Vatican said.

Francis listened to their stories, “prayed with them and wept with them,” spokesman Greg Burke told reporters.

Earlier in the day, the pontiff made his first public remarks about abuse in a speech at La Moneda presidential palace.

Addressing Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, lawmakers, judges and other authorities, the pope said he felt “bound to express my pain and shame” that some of Chile’s clergy had sexually abused children who were in their care. (Read more from “Pope Apologizes for Pedophile Priests” HERE)

New Scandal in Obama’s War Against Netanyahu

. . .Last October, WND CEO Joseph Farah pointed out the Obama administration sent money in 2015 to a non-profit U.S. group that sought to prevent Benjamin Netanyahu from forming a coalition government to remain as prime minister.

Now there’s new information, according to the American Center for Law and Justice, that the Obama administration’s intervention was even worse.

ACLJ said that in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, it “uncovered a startling revelation.”

“Yasser Mahmoud Abbas, son of Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the terrorist-allied Palestinian Authority, was also a senior leader and advisor to OneVoice – and, as demonstrated by the contents of the documents themselves, the Obama administration knew this,” ACLJ said in a report Wednesday.

“In short, the Obama State Department gave U.S. taxpayer dollars to a terrorist-affiliated organization (the PA recently united with the terrorist group Hamas) to unseat the democratically elected leader of the only free democracy in the Middle East and a vital U.S. ally.” (Read more from “New Scandal in Obama’s War Against Netanyahu” HERE)

Trump Reveals Winners of ‘Fake News’ Awards

By Fox News. President Trump revealed the winners of his self-proclaimed ‘Fake News’ awards Wednesday night on Twitter with The New York Times topping the list.

Before naming the full list of “winners,” the website cited that “studies have shown that over 90% of the media’s coverage of President Trump is negative.”

It went on to call 2017 “a year of unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage and even downright fake news.”

Coming in first place was The New York Times’ Paul Krugman for his predictions that the stock markets would never recover from Trump’s election.

In a bit of irony, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 26,000 for the first time on Wednesday. (Read more from “Trump Reveals Winners of ‘Fake News’ Awards” HERE)

Trump Announces ‘Fake News’ Awards, Site Crashes

By Variety. President Donald Trump finally tweeted out a list of winners of the first Fake News Awards, but the link to a Republican National Committee site turned up error messages.

It was unclear if the site was overloaded. An RNC spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.

But the message read, “The site is temporarily offline, we are working to bring it back up. Please try back later.”

Fox News, which apparently got access to a list of winners, reported that the New York Times topped the list.

The winner was columnist Paul Krugman for “claiming markets would ‘never’ recover from Trump presidency.” Others on the list were ABC News’ Brian Ross, CNN, Time, and the Washington Post’s Dave Weigel. (Read more from “Trump Announces ‘Fake News’ Awards, Site Crashes” HERE)

Same Democrats That Attacked Trump’s “Sh*Thole” Remark as Racist Are Running Network of Black Genocide Planned Parenthood Abortion Centers

Leftist Democrats, “RINOs” (Republicans in Name Only), and their media lapdog buddies are having a heyday condemning the President as a black-hating racist over negative remarks he allegedly made during a private meeting about immigration that recently took place in the Oval Office. But these same hypocritical stone-throwers apparently have no problem whatsoever with the continued government funding of Planned Parenthood abortion mills that racially target the lives of unborn black babies.

For years, many conservatives have been trying to sound the alarm about Planned Parenthood’s racist roots, as the Margaret Sanger-founded organization has been exposed as a fake “women’s health” group, the true purpose of which is to of exterminate the “human weeds” of the world, a.k.a. black lives. There have been undercover videos, unearthed historical documents, and mounds of other evidence proving that Planned Parenthood exists solely for the purpose of genocide, and yet you won’t hear a peep of truth about any of this from the mainstream media.

At the same time, fake news outlets like CNN and The Washington Post are gleefully taking the opportunity to repeat ad nauseum on the air a curse word that President Trump may or may not have actually said, as they accuse him of hating people with dark-colored skin. Democratic Senator Dick Durbin from Illinois told the media that the President used words that were “hate-filled, vile, and racist,” while at the same time admitting that he’s “committed” to protecting abortion “rights.”

“I am committed to women’s rights under the law, reproductive rights certainly, and our party is,” Sen. Durbin stated back in April, at a time when the truth about Planned Parenthood and its anti-black agenda was reaching a crescendo. “… when it comes to the policy position, I think we need to be clear and unequivocal … (and) prepared to back women’s rights as we’ve defined them under the law.”

DOJ currently investigating Planned Parenthood for its illegal baby body part racket

What Planned Parenthood has been doing for many decades with its butchering of unborn lives, many of which were black, and selling of the body parts on the black market for cash is infinitely more detestable than anything the president may or may not have said during what should have been a confidential meeting. But you wouldn’t know this by listening to the talking heads on television.

Somehow President Trump’s rightful condemnation of our nation’s broken immigration policy is the most evil thing in the world. But murdering unborn black lives at Planned Parenthood clinics on the taxpayer dime? No big deal.

Don’t forget that Planned Parenthood is actually under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for profiteering on the sale of aborted human fetal tissue – which as of this writing has been collected from some 59 million aborted babies since abortion became “legal” in the United States back in 1973. According to statistics, roughly 18 million of these murdered unborn children were black.

“Planned Parenthood was born in eugenic racism and elitism, and Margaret Sanger was the mother who gave birth to the world’s largest abortion chain,” stated Ryan Bomberger, chief creative officer at The Radiance Foundation, to Breitbart News. In Bomberger’s view, it is simply beyond the pale that leftist Democrats are decrying President Trump’s alleged comments as representing the downfall of America at the same time that they ignore the abortion industry’s total annihilation of nearly 60 million unborn lives, and counting.

“In the city where Planned Parenthood began, more black babies are aborted than born alive according to the New York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. This is not the result of justice. It’s the result of animus.” (For more from the author of “Same Democrats That Attacked Trump’s “Sh*Thole” Remark as Racist Are Running Network of Black Genocide Planned Parenthood Abortion Centers” please click HERE)

Planned Parenthood Taps into Sex-Change ‘Therapy’ for Minors as New Revenue Source

As the U.S. abortion rate continues to decline and regulations tighten, Planned Parenthood is looking toward a new source of revenue – hormone ‘sex-change’ treatment for minors at Medicaid expense.

The abortion giant has been dispensing ‘hormone therapy’ drugs to gender-confused adults since 2016 – giving out transgender hormones to 250 gender dysphorics in the Sarasota area alone last year. The Guardian reports that “Planned Parenthood is one of the largest sources in the U.S. of transgender healthcare.”

The nation’s largest and most lucrative abortion conglomerate has now “decided it was time for us to expand the care that we were providing to minors,” Vice President of Medical Affairs Suzie Prabhakaran told the Sun Coast.

Reasoning that gender confused youth may have difficulty getting sex “change” hormones because “a lot of doctors can be judgmental,” Prabhakaran says it’s important to give children “medications that affect the changes they’re looking for.”

Such hormonal ‘sex-change’ treatment is paid for by tax dollars when “medically necessary,” the National Center for Transgender Equality states. (Read more from “Planned Parenthood Taps into Sex-Change ‘Therapy’ for Minors as New Revenue Source” HERE)
