Woman Admits to Drugging Migrant Kids With Melatonin Gummies as Part of Child-Trafficking Ring: ‘We Knocked Her Out’

A Texas woman has confessed to drugging young girls with melatonin gummies while trafficking them into the US — just as border agents are warning that kids are being smuggled through similar means all across the southern border.

Vanessa Valadez, 23, of Laredo, pleaded guilty Friday to working with family members to smuggle children under the age of 5 into the country from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, between August and September 2023.

“La noquiamos con unas gomitas,” one of Valdez’s co-conspirators wrote in a message alongside an image of a passed out girl during one operation — which translates to “we knocked her out with some gummies.”

Valdez and her family smuggled at least four young girls into the country, according to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), picking them up from a stash house across the border and drugging them before using phony birth certificates to try to pass them off as family members.

After Laredo, the girls were taken deeper into the US and left with unknown people for unknown purposes. (Read more from “Woman Admits to Drugging Migrant Kids With Melatonin Gummies as Part of Child-Trafficking Ring: ‘We Knocked Her Out’ HERE)

Democratic Lawmaker Accused of Pretending to Be Black, Dropping N-Bombs on Twitter Account

A Democratic lawmaker in Pennsylvania has been accused of using problematic language online about minorities around a decade ago, according to several reports.

State Democratic Sen. Jimmy Dillon of Philadelphia, 45, is accused of writing unflattering tweets referencing Black, gay and Asian persons via the handle @Hoops24_7 between 2011 and 2015, The Delaware Valley (DV) Journal reported Tuesday. Dillon operates a children’s basketball academy named Hoops 24-7 Basketball Academy, hence why some are accusing him of being behind the handle @Hoops24_7.

He denied making the comments Tuesday, saying in part, “I’m not a big social media guy. If a basketball player who works with Hoops 24-7 posted something like this more than a decade ago, it’s the first I’ve heard about it, and it doesn’t reflect my values,” according to ABC27 News.

“@A2daO: This [n-word] really a 7ft two guard,” one of the tweets, posted in January 2013 via the said handle, read. “He playing like he is on tour with And1.. Unguardable.”

“@JonDaBB got 2 parties.. Need that [n-word] on board for the facility .. Big Hoops 365 staff meeting on a Friday night…,” ran another tweet dated Nov. 24, 2012. (Read more from “Democratic Lawmaker Accused of Pretending to Be Black, Dropping N-Bombs on Twitter Account” HERE)

Mom Says She Solved Daughter’s Murder Case After Police Refused to Believe Her, Ruled Death a Suicide

The mother of a daughter whose death back in July 2023 was ruled a suicide by the police says she got her son-in-law to confess that he murdered her.

Jamie Dickerson, the mother, said that even though the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) at first ruled April Holt, her 29-year-old daughter, died from suicide, there was enough material in their 47-page supplement report to get her 33-year-old son-in-law to confess to killing her, Fox 17 reported.

MNPD discovered April’s corpse in the couple’s apartment with a plastic bag taped around her neck that led to death by strangulation. Dickerson pointed out that according to police’s own reporting only the fingerprints of Donovan Holt, the son-in-law, were detected on the bag and tape.

The aggrieved mother spent months investigating the case before confronting her son-in-law.

“That is when I confronted him (Donovan) and he confessed to me and so that is when I went to the police,” Dickerson said. (Read more from “Mom Says She Solved Daughter’s Murder Case After Police Refused to Believe Her, Ruled Death a Suicide” HERE)

‘Extremely Unusual’: House Judiciary Committee Unable to Locate Nathan Wade to Testify in Fani Willis Investigation

The House Judiciary Committee has so far been unable to locate Nathan Wade in order to serve him a subpoena, a spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The committee’s difficulty in serving a subpoena to Wade, whose testimony they are seeking as part of their probe into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, is “extremely unusual,” spokesperson Russell Dye told the DCNF. After defendants tried to disqualify Willis from the case over her relationship with Wade, a judge ordered Wade in March to step down from his position on the election interference case against former President Donald Trump as a condition of letting Willis remain.

“The Judiciary Committee has served over 100 subpoenas this Congress,” Dye said in a statement to the DCNF. “We have done so, for the most part, without controversy or the need to use the U.S. Marshals.”

“Nathan Wade’s evasion of service is extremely unusual and will require the Committee to spend U.S. tax dollars to locate him,” Dye said.

Spending taxpayer money would be required if the committee needs to hire a private investigator or send a staffer to locate Wade.

Postal Union Issues Trump Letter: ‘Existential Threat’

As we approach the November election, a letter from the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) has raised eyebrows. The letter warns that if former President Donald Trump wins, it could pose an “existential threat” to the union and its members. Signed by Georgia NALC President Don Griggs, this communication urges members to think carefully about their voting choices, suggesting that the consequences could significantly impact their jobs and the union’s future.

The letter specifically criticizes Trump’s agenda, particularly Project 2025, despite him having no involvement, painting it as a threat to organized labor. It claims that if Trump were to take office again, he would appoint allies opposed to union interests throughout the executive branch.

Among the assertions made are proposals that could fundamentally change the labor landscape: banning public employee unions, replacing private-sector unions with company-controlled alternatives, and allowing states to bypass federal overtime and minimum wage standards. It even mentions the potential repeal of the Davis-Bacon Act, which sets wage requirements on federal projects.

However, the situation became more complicated when Griggs later clarified that he did not authorize the letter, stating it was sent out by the AFL-CIO without his permission. He expressed surprise at its contents, indicating that he would have preferred the national union to communicate directly with its members rather than through state-level channels.

The NALC’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris further highlights the ongoing alignment between labor organizations and Democratic candidates. This move has left many conservatives questioning the priorities of unions that traditionally stood for workers’ rights.

As the election nears, it’s vital for all voters, including union members, to consider the implications of their choices. While the NALC’s letter expresses fear over a Trump presidency, supporters of Trump see an opportunity for pro-business policies that would benefit workers and the economy at large.

P. Diddy and Jeffrey Epstein Barely Scratch the Surface of America’s Elite Rot

Last week, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, the rapper and music producer, was arrested and charged with sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; racketeering conspiracy; and transportation to engage in prostitution.

As many have pointed out since his homes were raided back in March, the allegations against Combs echo the disturbing pattern of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities. The individuals connected to Combs and Epstein are influential figures in government, media, and entertainment. They shape our culture, and their moral corruption matters because it seeps into the very fabric of our society.

Combs allegedly orchestrated what he called “freak offs” — drug-fueled orgies where he coerced participants through threats of violence and reportedly filmed these encounters to blackmail his victims into silence. The allegations — trafficking, abuse, coercion, drugging, and non-consensual filming — are eerily similar to the Epstein case.

Moreover, like Epstein, It took years of abuse and a mountain of accusations before law enforcement finally stepped in. Combs, who is now on “suicide watch,” is being charged in the notoriously corrupt Southern District of New York, the same jurisdiction that prosecuted Epstein’s case.

Unlike Epstein, Combs is not being charged with child sexual abuse, although he has been accused of raping a minor. However, like with Epstein, Combs is the only person who has been charged so far. But other than his staff who helped facilitate the “freak offs,” it’s highly unlikely Combs is the sole prominent figure involved. (Read more from “P.

On ‘The View,’ Joe Biden Says He Delegated His Presidency Powers to Kamala Harris (VIDEO)

President Joe Biden told the panelists on “The View” Wednesday the 81-year-old commander-in-chief routinely delegated his responsibilities to Vice President Kamala Harris.

“As vice president, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do,” Biden said. “So I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.”

The president had been asked what advice he had for Harris on how to defeat former President Donald Trump this fall.

“Be herself,” Biden said, characterizing his successor as the Democrats’ presidential nominee as “smart as hell.”

‘Chilling’: Iranian Video Vowing Revenge on Trump Gets Fresh Scrutiny After Second Assassination Attempt

A video posted to the website of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in 2022 is under fresh scrutiny in the wake of the second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) posted the video on X, adding, “This was posted on the Ayatollah’s website. Truly, terrifyingly chilling.”

Donald Trump Jr., Trump’s eldest son, also posted:

This was posted on the Ayatollah’s website. I guess we should expect nothing less from a terrorist regime. My father had Iran almost bankrupt… then the Biden/Harris administration game them billions making the world a far more dangerous place. Enough!

The video is an animation depicting a plot to assassinate Trump at his Palm Beach golf course, and vows revenge against the former president for ordering the deadly U.S. military against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force Commander Gen. Qasem Soleimani.

Trump ordered the strike in 2020 against Soleimani, after a series of attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq in late 2019. Soleimani was also responsible for the killing and wounding of hundreds of American troops during the Iraq War.

Ryan Routh Charged With Attempting To Kill Donald Trump; Son of Would-Be Trump Assassin Arrested on Child Porn Charges

By Daily Wire. Prosecutors announced on Tuesday that Ryan Routh has been charged with attempting to kill former president Donald Trump.

Prosecutors said during a pretrial detention hearing for Routh on Monday that they were seeking to charge Routh for attempted assassination. A grand jury in Florida decided to indict Routh on Tuesday for attempting to kill Trump, as well as four other charges, adding to two federal gun charges the 58-year-old was already facing.

“Routh is charged with attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, which strikes at the very heart of our democratic system,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement. “The FBI is continuing our investigation into this alleged plot and will use the full weight and resources of the FBI to uncover and provide as much information as possible about what led to the events in West Palm Beach. In our country, we have to hold accountable people who resort to violence.”

In addition to a charge of attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, the grand jury indicted Routh with possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting a federal officer, felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

Son of Would-Be Trump Assassin Arrested on Child Porn Charges

By Fox News. The son of would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh has been taken into custody on federal charges of possessing child pornography.

Authorities seized multiple electronic devices from 35-year-old Oran Alexander Routh’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina on Saturday that investigators say contained “hundreds” of files with child exploitation material. The illicit material was discovered during a search conducted “in connection with an investigation unrelated to child exploitation,” according to a criminal complaint.

Routh has been charged with receipt of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

FBI investigators were at Routh’s home in connection to the investigation of his father, Ryan Routh, 58, who was arrested on Sept. 15 after authorities spotted a gun poking out of the shrubbery on the golf course where former President Trump was playing that afternoon. Routh allegedly camped outside the golf course with food and a rifle for nearly 12 hours, records revealed. . .

The FBI conducted a search of Oran Routh’s home on Sept. 21 as part of the investigation into his father. Investigators confiscated several electronic devices, including a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 device. After authorities obtained a warrant to search the electronics, investigators discovered child pornography videos on an SD card located in the Samsung device.

How the FBI Is Willing to Risk Your Safety to Get Kamala Elected

Shortly after the two ABC moderators entered the presidential debate on the side of Kamala Harris, there was a brief moment when Donald Trump pushed back. It happened when David Muir finished one of his drive-by “fact-checks,” concerning the crime rate in this country. The moderator intended to immediately ask Kamala Harris a question, so that Trump couldn’t respond. But Trump did respond, and the moderator had no answer to what he said. Watch:

If you’re going to debate a candidate, when you’re really supposed to be the moderator, then you should at least be able to debate. But Muir had no answer when Trump refuted his canned talking point about FBI data. He sheepishly had to pivot to Kamala, who started laughing awkwardly. . .

This summer, when the FBI released its Quarterly Uniform Crime Report showing that crime was down, they didn’t include data from New York or Los Angeles. The NYPD and LAPD are the two biggest police forces in the entire country, but they didn’t report their data at all, apparently because they couldn’t comply with the FBI’s new data-tracking requirements in time. And that wasn’t particularly unusual. Back in 2022, roughly one-third of the country’s 6,000 police agencies didn’t report crime data to the FBI. This isn’t some partisan point I’m making. The FBI admitted all of this.

Yesterday, though, the FBI released its latest updated annual report. And the agency claims that this time around, the report comprehensively documents violent crimes that occurred in 2023 because the data comes from law enforcement agencies that cover more than 95% of the country’s population — including the NYPD and LAPD. According to the new data, car thefts went up by around 20% from 2022 to 2023. So that’s a massive increase. But violent crime was supposedly down overall by 3%, while “murder and non-negligent homicide” were down more than 10%. Reported rapes were down nearly 10% as well, and property crimes dropped 2.5%.
