Teacher’s Aide Accused of Raping Mentally Disabled Teen Boy. Victim’s Mother Allegedly Caught 45-Year-Old Suspect in the Act.

A teacher’s aide in Ohio is accused of raping a 15-year-old with disabilities, according to authorities. The boy’s mother allegedly busted the suspect after finding the pair together at her home.

On Tuesday, 45-year-old Christin Coble of Scott Township was arrested and booked into the Sandusky County Jail. Coble was charged with rape. Her bail was set at $100,000. . .

Coble is a paraprofessional — similar to a teacher’s aide — at the Woodmore Local School District. The mother said Coble had worked with her son at his school — and that he has the mental capacity of a 9-year-old.

Following her arrest, the district superintendent told WTVG-TV that Coble had been placed on unpaid administrative leave.

“While the district cannot comment on an ongoing investigation or the personally identifiable information of students, the district’s primary concern is always the safety and well-being of its students,” Superintendent Mary Schaeffer said in a statement released Tuesday.

Donald Trump Sentenced in ‘Hush Money’ Case

President-elect Donald Trump has been sentenced in the “hush money” case in which he was convicted for falsifying business records. . .

Judge Juan Merchan sentenced him to an unconditional discharge, which means the president-elect will have a conviction on his record, but he will not face jail time or any other punishment.

Merchan told the court that unconditional discharge is “the only lawful sentence, without encroaching upon the highest office in the land.”

He then told the president-elect, “I wish you godspeed as you assume your second term in office.”

The proceedings lasted about 45 minutes as the prosecution and defense gave statements to the court. Merchan repeatedly referred to the president-elect as “Mr. Trump” instead of “President Trump,” which only supports claims that he was biased against the Trump throughout the trial.

Here Are All The Ways DEI-Crazed Officials Made The LA Fire More Deadly

As relentless fires burn in Los Angeles, thousands of residents who fled their homes are just learning how poorly public officials prepared for such an event. Emergency response leaders following bad public policy have been too focused on sending firefighting equipment to Ukraine, keeping the homeless safe, protecting fish, and adopting green policies to focus on things like making sure there is enough water to feed fire hydrants and guaranteeing that the strongest, best-trained, most-skilled firefighters are leading operations.

Officials seem to believe that when fire forces you to flee your home, there is just one thing on your mind: the skin color and cultural experience of the firefighters who will bring you to safety. Will they be diverse enough to rescue you? Never mind if they are the best for the job, are they anything but straight white men?

That has been a major priority of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), which, in 2022, launched its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Bureau (DEI), purportedly “focused on ensuring a safe, diverse and inclusive workplace for all.”

In January 2022, then-Mayor Eric Garcetti checked multiple DEI boxes by appointing Kristin Crowley as fire chief, the first female, LGBT chief in Los Angeles. That year, according to LAFD data, “of the more than 6,500 applicants to LAFD, 70% were people of color and nearly 8% … were female,” which was “double the … percentage of female firefighters within the Department” at the time.

The LAFD Girls Camp is one avenue for recruitment for female firefighters, hosting girls between 14 and 18 to explore career opportunities in the department.

Lip Reader Reveals What Trump and Obama Discussed at Jimmy Carter’s Funeral

Former President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump had what appeared to be a warm conversation Thursday ahead of former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, but a professional lip reader told The Post their smiles and laughter belied more serious substance.

Trump, 78, possibly wary of cameras facing the pair as they sat shoulder to shoulder, cautioned Obama, 63, that they would have to “find a quiet place” later in the day to discuss a “matter of importance,” according to forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman.

It’s unclear what precisely that conversation would entail, but Freeman’s translation indicated that Obama and Trump may have been discussing international agreements.

At one point, Trump leaned toward Obama and said, “I’ve pulled out of that. It’s the conditions. Can you imagine that?” . . .

Obama laughed as Trump added, “and after, I will,” before the pooled TV camera feed cut away from the men, who were bracketed by former first lady Laura Bush and Trump’s wife Melania. (Read more from “Lip Reader Reveals What Trump and Obama Discussed at Jimmy Carter’s Funeral” HERE)

Mayor Knew of Fire Risk Before Abandoning L.A. For Ghana Trip

We have multiple reports Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass knew of the grave fire risk to her city before she abandoned it for a taxpayer-funded “diplomatic” trip to Ghana in Western Africa.

Here’s the timeline of what we know so far courtesy of Lee Fang’s Substack page:

Thursday, January 2: The “National Weather Service explicitly warned Los Angeles about “extreme fire conditions” over the next week.

Thursday, January 2: “Jonathan O’Brien, a meteorologist with the U.S. Forest Service, spoke to officials and posted openly about the incoming threat.”

Thursday, January 2: “O’Brien noted that weather models for Southern California showed a ‘strong-extreme Santa Ana wind event starting Tuesday 1/7.’”

China Hacked Phones and Wants Nuclear First Strike Capability Against U.S.: Ex-Trump Aide

A former senior aide to Donald Trump claimed China had tapped the president-elect’s phone, stolen “extraordinary” amounts of data and is preparing for a first-strike nuclear capability against the United States.

H.R. McMaster, Trump’s national security adviser from 2017 to 2018, told a think tank event in Washington on Wednesday that the US has to impose “very significant costs” on China for its “massive cyber intrusions”.

“They listen to President Trump’s phone and everybody around him for six months, right? They’ve stolen extraordinary amounts of data which we found on our telecom networks,” he told the event organised by the Council on Foreign Relations.

End of Days: Pharmacies Flooded With Panic-Gripped Crowds Rushing to Stock up on ‘Miracle Pills’ to Stave off Deadly HMPV Virus

Pharmacies in China have become inundated with people trying to buy “miracle pills” amid the spread of the deadly HMPV virus .

RadarOnline.com can reveal the flu-like bug, which mostly affects vulnerable people and children, is spreading across the country but it remains unclear how many cases there currently are.

Chinese authorities are keeping information limited but worrying footage of chaotic overcrowding in hospitals, with patients hooked up to IV drips in waiting rooms, has only increased fears of the “mysterious virus” which continues to cause devastation.

Masked-up patients can be seen in Beijing Children’s Hospital as they battle the infectious bug. One mom was spotted trying to comfort a baby that appeared to have a drip connected to its head. . .

According to reports, some pharmacies are starting to ramp up prices of a medication named Xofluza to 300yuan (€40) a box and each box comes with two pills.

One Reason Why Young People Are Delaying Marriage and What You Can Do About It

. . .One-third of young adults will likely never marry, according to recent research. Lyman Stone, a research fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, analyzed the data and came to some important conclusions.

The Knot, a wedding website, ran a study finding that the average age of men and women getting married is now 32 and 30 respectively. The Pew Research Center found that 25 percent of adults over the age of 40 have never been married. . .

Young adults are not just delaying marriage–they are avoiding it all together.

Why is this so? Katy Faust, president and founder of Them Before Us, writes in a recent issue of World magazine that many young Americans may be putting marriage off because they have no idea of what a functional marriage looks like in the first place.

She states, “My husband and I came of age during the no-fault divorce epidemic, where we have a front-row seat to the dissolution of our parents’ unions. But many kids today never knew their parents as being married at all. Their mother and father may instead have been a revolving door of partners or live-ins or opted for the single-mother-or-father-by-choice route. … Many children don’t even know what wholeness looks like. And we scratch our heads at why the next generation is failing to have children, get married, or even have sex.” (Read more from “One Reason Why Young People Are Delaying Marriage and What You Can Do About It” HERE)

Mop-Up Man: Is This Former ATF Agent Running the J6 Pipe Bomb Coverup?

We have long maintained that the two smoking guns of the January 6 Fedsurrection are the curious case of Ray Epps, on the one hand, and the RNC/DNC pipe bomb hoax, on the other. Our extensive reporting on the case of Epps enjoyed a natural assist from the fact that the now-iconic video of Epps urging the crowd to go “into the Capitol” and the subsequent chants from the crowd of “Fed, Fed, Fed” were seemingly tailor-made to go viral. While our ground-breaking reporting on January 6 had been no less comprehensive and no less damning, for the longest time it lacked a corresponding video clip to help carry this historic scandal into mainstream attention.

All of this changed when we drew attention to a certain explosive (no pun intended) surveillance video that had quietly and with great reluctance been released by the Capitol Police thanks to the persistent efforts of Thomas Massie, who has valiantly used his Congressional perch to advance our body of research on the January 6 pipe bomb. We strongly encourage readers to stop here and read our comprehensive piece on this bombshell video and how it fits into the comprehensive universe of reporting we’ve built on this subject. The video in question depicts the discovery of the so-called “DNC pipe bomb” that was discovered outside of the DNC headquarters on January 6. Right off the bat, things simply don’t add up.

In the video, we can see a plainclothes Capitol Police officer inform Secret Service agents stationed outside the DNC building of the presence of the bomb just feet away, whereupon the agents in question react with an utter lack of concern, not even bothering to exit their vehicle for over a minute. The Secret Service agents’ nonchalant attitude toward the bomb reaches a crescendo in the most arresting part of the video, in which the agents and Capitol Police officers casually allow a group of schoolchildren to cross the street in the direction of the pipe bomb and walk within feet of the explosives! Could it be that the Secret Service agents were simply unconcerned for their own lives, the lives of their protectee (then-VP-elect Kamala Harris), or the lives of the aforementioned schoolchildren? There is perhaps a remote possibility.

The video and the context overwhelmingly suggest, however, that somehow the Secret Service agents in question knew the bomb posed no threat. But how on earth would they have known that in advance? This is especially bizarre and troubling given the fact that the Secret Service agents were protecting Kamala Harris, who has strangely covered up the fact that she was present in the DNC as the pipe bomb was found. To this day, Harris refuses to acknowledge her presence in the DNC building, against all evident political interest. After all, think of how much she could have milked politically from the fact that she came within a hair’s width of the deadly MAGA pipe bomb. The regime has been so desperate to find stories to fit their “domestic terrorism” narrative of January 6 that they’ve resorted to outright lies—to take one, the lies regarding the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. This is the one case in which no lies would seem to be necessary, as the Vice President really was at the building when the bombs were discovered.

Joe Biden at Press Briefing on LA Fires: ‘The Good News Is, I’m a Great-Grandfather!’

President Joe Biden took the time to announce some personal “good news” to reporters during an awkward press briefing with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on the Los Angeles wildfires, saying, “I’m a great-grandfather!”

While standing next to Newsom to update the nation on the status of the multiple devastating fires that began on Tuesday evening, Biden made a sudden pivot to an announcement about his family:

“The good news is, I’m a great-grandfather as of today,” the 82-year-old president said during the briefing, held at a firehouse in Santa Monica, Los Angeles County.

“I’ll remember this day for a lot of reasons,” he added, before leaving without answering any questions from reporters.
