Christian Man Imprisoned, Hung in Crucifixion Position for Converting to Christianity in Egypt

The trial of an Egyptian Christian man imprisoned on charges related to his conversion from Islam and his attempt to change his religious designation on identity papers opened last week in Cairo.

Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek was arrested in July under “terrorism” related charges. Apostasy is not illegal in Egypt, but changing the religious designation on official identity documents is practically impossible and leaves converts open to prosecution as a “national security threat.”

Prosecutors brought multiple charges against Abdelrazek, according to advocacy group Coptic Solidarity, including establishing and leading a group in violation of the law; joining a group that was allegedly founded unlawfully; financing the group; promoting ideas and beliefs deemed “harmful to national unity and social peace,” and showing contempt for Islam and challenging its fundamental principles.

Abdelrazek’s legal team on April 21 submitted several key motions, including requests to adjourn the proceedings in order to prepare a full defense, according to Coptic Solidarity. The court granted the adjournment and scheduled the next hearing for June 15.

Abdelrazek has been held in Cairo’s 10th of Ramadan Prison, where he has reportedly been deprived of basic necessities, including adequate food, clothing and medical care and hung in a “crucifixion” position.

The Dems’ Newest Phrase into Raging at the GOP is to go ‘Kill Yourself’

In almost any other era, the hostile exchange between EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro would have been an instant embarrassment on Capitol Hill.

But at a time when political violence is becoming frighteningly common and widely accepted, DeLauro’s nasty suggestion that Zeldin drink a glass of weed killer marked just another day in the trenches.

Dripping with bitterness, the 83-year-old, blue-haired DeLauro is often an embarrassment to Connecticut and more sober-minded Democrats with her nutty bluster. . .

When he countered by citing court rulings in the EPA’s favor, she was ignorant of the cases, but in no mood to learn.

“I don’t have to listen to this BS!” she raged.

Writing later on X, Zeldin said she “apparently believes that when you don’t have anything good to say, you should instruct the person you are debating to kill themself.”

Texas Teacher, 46, Accused of Sexually Assaulting 5th Grader She Branded One of Her ‘Favorites’

A twisted Texas elementary school teacher is accused of sexually assaulting a fifth-grade student she branded as one of her “favorites” – as cops urge other possible victims to come forward.

Cecilia Mueller, a 46-year-old longtime Northside Independent School District employee, was arrested Monday after a former student, now 20, reported the disturbing sexual acts he endured while he was in her fifth-grade class during the 2016-17 school year, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

The victim told authorities the then-36-year-old sicko kissed him and carried out other sexual acts while they were in a closet inside her classroom, a police report obtained by News4SA said.

On one occasion, the pair were allegedly kissing while Mueller’s young child was in the classroom. The teacher waved off any concern, saying her youngster “wouldn’t remember” what had occurred, the victim said.

The student said the abuse began after he became one of the educator’s “favorites” and was made to sit at a table with peers given the same label. Mueller would wield lewd language toward her favorites, probe them about their crushes, and pry into their personal lives, the report said.

US Army Soldier Arrested for Threatening to ‘Walk into a Synagogue with my AK’ and ‘Kill Every Single Jew ‘ Inside: Feds

A US Army soldier stationed at a Louisiana base allegedly threatened to walk into a synagogue with an assault rifle and “kill every single Jew” there in a vile Discord rant, according to authorities.

Jakob Marcoulier, a 22-year-old soldier stationed at Fort Polk, was arrested last week after he allegedly launched violent antisemitic threats on the app in February, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Louisiana.

The FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received a tip in February about the user “el.bostino” and uncovered recorded audio from the gaming and messaging platform that captured an individual, later determined to be Marcoulier, threatening to commit a mass shooting at a synagogue, prosecutors alleged.

“After this deployment if the Jews still have reign over our government, I am going to walk into a synagogue with my AK, with a 75-round drum mag, and all of my extra mags, with my level four plates, and my haka helmet that’s three plus, and I am going to kill every single Jew I know inside of that synagogue. And that’s my goal in life,” Marcoulier allegedly said.

“You guys will never do anything about but I will. I just have to finish this, I have to go back overseas and do what I have to do. And then you’ll see me in the news. I promise you,” the statement continued. (Read more from “US Army Soldier Arrested for Threatening to ‘Walk into a Synagogue with my AK’ and ‘Kill Every Single Jew ‘ Inside: Feds” HERE)

WATCH: Rep. Brandon Gill Rattles Abortion Advocate by Asking for Her ‘Favorite Method’

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) grilled an abortion advocate on her “favorite method” of abortion during a Thursday hearing on Capitol Hill.

Gill pressed Democrat witness Jessica Waters and visibly rattled her with the gruesome details of abortion procedures, during a hearing about the Biden administration’s weaponization of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. When Gill first asked Waters what her preferred method of abortion is, she pivoted.

“I’m an advocate for patients having access to the full realm of reproductive health care,” she replied.

Undeterred, Gill pushed Waters to answer. Waters is considered an “expert” in “reproductive rights law and policy” and is a professor and senior scholar in residence at American University Washington College of Law.

“But do you have a preferred method of abortion that you like?” Gill asked.

Gill continued by reading aloud descriptions of different abortion methods and said, “I want to get your take on how much you like these.” (Read more from “WATCH: Rep. Brandon Gill Rattles Abortion Advocate by Asking for Her ‘Favorite Method’” HERE)

Congresswoman: ‘Multiple Young Men’ Allegedly Drugged, Raped at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch; Women Subjected to Forced Pregnancies, Babies Abducted

“Multiple young men” were allegedly drugged and raped at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, according to an explosive new report that detailed harrowing accusations from murder to babies snatched from mothers at the pedophile’s New Mexico house of horrors.

“A man actually claims that he met Jeffrey Epstein [and] was brought to the ranch, he was drugged,” US Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) told “60 Minutes Australia” in a Sunday segment, the Sun reported.

“He describes in detail a scene in which multiple young men were raped at the ranch in front of him after he was drugged,” said Stansbury, a leading advocate for Epstein victims. . .

It’s unclear how Stansbury learned the excrutiating details of the alleged abuse, but her claims come as her state is in the thick of an extensive investigation into Zorro Ranch — the first probe of its kind since the millionaire financier killed himself in 2019 in a Manhattan jail cell after being arrested on sex-trafficking charges.

The probe was sparked in part by anonymous 2019 allegations that Epstein and Maxwell choked women to death during “rough fetish sex” and buried them on the ranch — accusations that resurfaced with the release earlier this year of the tranche of files from the FBI’s investigation into the disgraced financier.

Zelensky Moves to Extend Martial Law — Again

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has submitted legislation to once again extend the decree of martial law, which as part of a suite of wartime powers has the impact of suspending elections, banning opposition parties, and shutting down media organisations.

According to state-run outlet Ukrinform, President Zelensky has submitted bills to the Verkhovna Rada, the Parliament in Kyiv, this week for the extension of martial law and the general mobilisation, which empower the government to conduct large-scale conscription of manpower and other resources to fight the war against Russia.

The current martial law decree will remain in effect until May 4th, and if the bills submitted by Zelensky are approved, it will be extended until at least August 2nd.

The likely passage of the bills will mark the 19th extension of the initial martial law decree, which was signed by Zelensky on February 24, 2022, the same day that Russia launched its invasion of the country over four years ago.

The imposition of martial law has led to the cancellation of elections, including the planned 2024 presidential election and the parliamentary elections scheduled for the autumn of 2023. (Read more from “Zelensky Moves to Extend Martial Law — Again” HERE)

CIA Ran MK-Ultra Experiments on Prisoners of War in U.S. Custody, Declassified Docs Confirm

Korean prisoners of war in the 1950s were subjected to early MK-ULTRA experiments while in American custody, according to recently declassified CIA documents which confirm these experiments for the first time.

The only reporting that previously referenced Koreans being used as guinea pigs for these experiments was journalist John Marks’s landmark 1979 book, The Search for the “Manchurian Candidate.” Using CIA documents, Marks traced the now-infamous MK-ULTRA project to its start, when it was known as Project Bluebird. In the book, Marks describes how, in October 1950, 25 unnamed North Korean POWs were chosen as the first test subjects to receive “advanced” interrogation techniques, with the overt goal of “controlling an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against such fundamental laws of nature as self-preservation.”

While MK-ULTRA is best known for its invasive experimentation — like LSD dosing and torture — the documents confirm Korean POWs were the unwitting subjects of less splashy attempts at mind control, like being subjected to polygraph tests, with plans for other invasive testing.

The declassified documents, which the National Security Archive released between December 2024 and April 2025, are available through a special collection titled “CIA and the Behavioral Sciences: Mind Control, Drug Experiments and MK-ULTRA.” The National Security Archive website states that the collection “brings together more than 1,200 essential records on one of the most infamous and abusive programs in CIA history.”

The first reference to “Project Bluebird” in the NSA’s collection is an office memorandum from April 5, 1950. Addressed to CIA Director Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, the document lays out the project’s goals, required training, and budget, all while emphasizing that knowledge of Project Bluebird “should be restricted to the absolute minimum number of persons.” (Read more from “CIA Ran MK-Ultra Experiments on Prisoners of War in U.S. Custody, Declassified Docs Confirm” HERE)

Eyewitness Tells CNN WHCD Shooter Was Not Tackled by Agents as Described by Trump Admin — He Just Fell

An eyewitness at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting told CNN that the shooter was not tackled to the ground as the Trump administration claimed.

Just minutes into the start of the event, attendees heard gunfire outside the ballroom of the Washington Hilton. The shooter, later identified as 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen, was subdued before entering the ballroom. According to his manifesto, Allen was targeting President Donald Trump and other members of his administration.

In the aftermath of the incident, Trump and his officials commended the officers who acted quickly and took Allen down before he could cause any harm.

According to Erin Thielman, who was near the scuffle as it unfolded, that wasn’t exactly how it happened. On Monday’s edition of The Situation Room with Pamela Brown and Wolf Blitzer, the conversation went as follows:

BROWN: Obviously, you were a key eyewitness as Wolf was. So when you say he fell at your feet, did it seem like he fell, something brought him down, he wasn’t tackled at that moment by law enforcement?THIELMAN: No, they started running in on him right as I ran down the stairs.BROWN: OK, so he wasn’t tackled, and that’s what brought him down to the ground?THIELMAN: No, he was not. He was not.BLITZER: It looked like he tripped.THIELMAN: Maybe that’s what happened. I have no idea.

‘Who’s Paying Me’ — Dem Candidate Admits To Morphing Persona

Democrat Iowa state senator and congressional candidate Sarah Trone Garriott admits to morphing her persona depending on who’s paying her, in a clip obtained by the Daily Caller.

Trone Garriott, an ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) running in Iowa’s 3rd congressional district, made the remarks during the Iowa Secular Summit in July 2023, where she appeared to be presenting to a group of attendees using a PowerPoint.

“And so in my life as a state legislator, there are times in my life where I’m very clear where I am doing the church thing, and I’m the minister, and that’s what I’m about. And there are times that I know I’m the senator and that’s what I am there for,” she said.

The state senator added that navigating those roles can at times be unclear and “confusing,” telling the audience she can feel like she’s “all things” at once.

“But there’s a lot of time that gets kind of mushy and kind of confusing, like today I’m not really sure who I am right now. I’m kind of all things. Uh, you know sometimes I can tell by the outfit I’m wearing or my name tag, or who’s paying me, but um other times it’s hard because all these things they connect and you know, they get a little messy.” (Read more from “‘Who’s Paying Me’ — Dem Candidate Admits To Morphing Persona” HERE)
