Kim Kardashian on Mission to Protect Woman Convicted of Brutally Beating 2-Year-Old Daughter to Death

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kim Kardashian is using her celebrity to try to get Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to stop the execution of a mother convicted in 2007 of brutally beating her two-year-old daughter to death.

Kardashian posted on her Twitter account this week that Melissa Lucio “falsely pleaded guilty” to killing her daughter, whose death, Kardashian claims, was the result of “a tragic accident.”

Lucio is scheduled to be executed on April 27.

“I recently just read about the case of Melissa Lucio and wanted to share her story with you. She has been on death row for over 14 years for her daughter’s death that was a tragic accident,” the 41-year-old tweeted. “Her 2-year old daughter Mariah fell down a flight of stairs and two days later passed away while taking a nap. After she called for help, she was taken into custody by the police.”

“Melissa is a survivor of abuse and domestic violence herself and after being interrogated for hours and falsely pleaded guilty,” Kardashian wrote. “She wanted the interrogation to end, but police made her words out to be a confession.”

Premature Newborn Found on Hood of Car

/0 Comments/in , /by

Connecticut police are investigating after a premature baby estimated to be born at only 28 to 30 weeks was abandoned on the hood of a car in the town of Mansfield. Miraculously, a woman found the child, and the baby is now listed in stable condition at a hospital.

Police say they got a 911 call on the afternoon of March 23 from the woman who saw a man leaving the newborn wrapped in a towel on her vehicle. According to WTNH, the baby only weighed about two pounds.

“The female reported as she returned to her vehicle, the male got into a dark-colored vehicle and fled the area,” Connecticut State Police said in a news release. “The infant was transported to an area hospital for treatment and later determined to be a 28-30 week old premature newborn.”

Like other states, Connecticut has a Safe Haven Law for parents who believe that they are unable to care for their child for any reason. (Read more from “Premature Newborn Found on Hood of Car” HERE)

WaPo’s Headline About Pregnancy and COVID Breakthrough Infections Is a Hot Mess

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Did you see The Washington Post headline about pregnancy and breakthrough cases? Can you guess which word was erased when discussing pregnancy? Better yet, who can only get pregnant and carry a child in this world? Is it a man? No. It is a woman? Yes, but you’d never know because the liberal paper decided to go with “pregnant people” to adhere to the woke mob’s standards of science fiction and political correctness. What fresh hell is this? This is an article about a scientific study, and The Washington Post uses a fake lefty lexicon that erases biological facts to avoid upsetting people. Remember, words are violence, right? Why is the media mocked and not believed? Well, here’s your purest example; an article about a scientific study that’s written through the lens of science fiction (via WaPo) [emphasis mine:]

Pregnant people who are vaccinated against the coronavirus are nearly twice as likely to get covid-19 as those who are not pregnant, according to a new study that offers the broadest evidence to date of the odds of infections among vaccinated patients with different medical circumstances.

The analysis, based on medical records of nearly 14 million U.S. patients since coronavirus immunization became available, found that pregnant people who are vaccinated have the greatest risk of developing covid among a dozen medical states, including being an organ transplant recipient and having cancer.

The findings come on top of research showing that people who are pregnant or gave birth recently and became infected are especially prone to getting seriously ill from covid-19. And covid has been found to increase the risk of pregnancy complications, such as premature births.

Graphic ‘Gender Queer’ Sex Books Marketed to Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Gender queer” books are now being targeted towards children – and are being found on school bookshelves – with U.S. school district committees allowing the comics to remain in school libraries.

“Gender queer” is defined as “of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity cannot be categorized as solely male or female,” according to Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Despite the mature concepts it contains, the book “Gender Queer” by 32-year-old California-based author Maia Kobabe, who “uses e/em/eir pronouns,” has been distributed on the shelves of Ohio’s Hudson High School library.

The book tells the story of a child through adolescence to adulthood struggling with gender conformity and includes a handful of graphic illustrations of LGBT sexual experiences and has long caused controversy with parents in other school districts, such as Fairfax County Public Schools in 2021.

Cartoons depict situations such as “coming out,” discovering “autoandrophilia” (defined as a female sexually aroused by the thought of having male genitalia), and bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction. (Read more from “Graphic ‘Gender Queer’ Sex Books Marketed to Kids” HERE)

Man Who Kidnapped 26 Children, Buried Them Alive, Receives Parole After 45 Years

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A man who kidnapped and buried a bus full of children and their driver was released for parole Friday, according to spokesperson Joe Orlando of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, CNN reported.

Frederick Newhall Woods, 70, and two co-conspirators kidnapped 26 children and their driver in Chowchilla, a northern California city in Madera County, in 1976, CNN reported. They buried the 27 captives alive in a quarry Woods’ father owned and then demanded $5 million ransom, according to CNN.

The captives dug themselves out and escaped while Woods and Richard and James Schoenfeld slept, CNN reported. Woods, the last of the men still in prison, had his 18th parole hearing Friday at California Men’s Colony, a state prison in San Luis Obispo. He became eligible for parole in 1982, and Richard Schoenfeld was paroled in 2012 and James Schoenfeld was released in 2015, CNN reported.

This State’s ‘Parent Bill of Rights’ Would Allow Parents to Sue Schools That Exploit Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Wisconsin State Assembly and Senate have passed a “parent bill of rights” that would allow parents to sue schools that fail to inform them about their child’s gender or social transition, according to the bill.

The bill is sitting on the desk of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, according to The Federalist. It mirrors bills advanced or alluded to in other states including Indiana, Texas, Kansas, Florida, Virginia, Missouri, and Georgia.

Wisconsin’s bill mandates that parents have “the right to review all medical records related to the child, unless specified otherwise in law or court order,” “the right to determine the names and pronouns used for the child while at school,” and “the right to review instructional materials and outlines used by the child’s school.”

According to the bill text, parents are allowed to sue governmental bodies or school officials if they violate the rights of parents or usurp “the fundamental right of a parent or guardian to direct the upbringing, education, health care, and mental health of a child.” (Read more from “This State’s ‘Parent Bill of Rights’ Would Allow Parents to Sue Schools That Exploit Kids” HERE)

Feminist Group Condemns NCAA For Ignoring Pleas Of Female Swimmers, Shielding Trans Swimmer

/0 Comments/in , /by

A feminist organization is condemning the NCAA for staying silent amid a national controversy over the inclusion of a biologically male athlete in the recent NCAA Women’s Swimming Championships.

“We are deeply disappointed by the NCAA’s promotion and celebration of a male athlete over the wellbeing of female athletes during the past few months,” Mahri Irvine, the executive director of the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF), said in a Thursday afternoon statement to The Daily Wire. . .

“Lia Thomas has been portrayed by the NCAA as a woman who legitimately deserves to compete in women’s sports,” Irvine said. “However, nothing could be further from the truth.”

The WoLF executive director pointed to the fact that Thomas, who won the 500 freestyle last Thursday evening, tied for fifth in the 200 freestyle Friday evening, and placed eighth in the 100 freestyle, formerly raced with men for three years.

“Lia is a man who didn’t do particularly well in men’s swimming competitions,” Irvine said. “This man decided to say that he is a woman in order to gain access to women’s sports.” (Read more from “Feminist Group Condemns NCAA For Ignoring Pleas Of Female Swimmers, Shielding Trans Swimmer” HERE)

How Can Ketanji Brown Jackson Rule In Sex Discrimination Cases If She Can’t Define ‘Woman’?

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .At Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee asked a seemingly innocuous question: “Can you provide a definition of the word ‘woman’?” . . .

It might seem like a question that goes more to politics than to the job of a judge, but when sex discrimination is frequently before the court — including as recently as last year in Bostock v. Clayton County — it behooves a judge to have some inkling about what “sex” means.

Blackburn’s questioning began with a reference to the 1996 case of United States v. Virginia, in which the Supreme Court struck down the Virginia Military Institute’s policy of only admitting men by a 7-1 vote, with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg writing the opinion of the court. (You can watch the testimony here, beginning at about 13:10:00.) Blackburn quoted from that opinion, specifically to Ginsburg’s point that “[p]hysical differences between men and women, however, are enduring: ‘[T]he two sexes are not fungible; a community made up exclusively of one [sex] is different from a community composed of both.’”

“Do you agree with Justice Ginsburg,” Blackburn asked, “that there are physical differences between men and women that are enduring?” . . .

“I am not familiar with that particular quote or case,” she said, which strains credulity. Had she committed that line to memory? Probably not. But to be unfamiliar with a landmark case, the most consequential majority opinion Justice Ginsburg ever authored? United States v. Virginia was surely a topic of discussion in 1996, Jackson’s third year of law school, where she was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. It beggars belief to say she was unfamiliar with it entirely.

‘Catastrophic’ Bleed: Coroner Says Young Mother Died of COVID Shot

/0 Comments/in , /by

A coroner in England has concluded that a 34-year-old mother died from a “catastrophic” bleed on the brain caused by a COVID-19 vaccine.

Eight days after receiving an AstraZeneca shot, Kim Lockwood complained of an excruciating headache. About 17 hours after arriving at Rotherham Hospital in South Yorkshire, she was pronounced dead, BBC News reported.

She died one year ago, in March 2021, but the coroner said little was known at the time of her death about the link between the COVID-19 vaccine and the condition Lockwood suffered, Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia, or VITT. . .

Lockwood’s husband, Damian, said she had complained of being in so much pain “her head felt like it was going to explode.” Her father, Wayne Merrill, said his daughters last words to him were that her headache was “actually killing her.” . . .

The family plans to pursue a medical negligence claim against Rotherham Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The trust said more is known now about the link between the vaccine and VITT and how to treat it, and all patients with low platelets are referred to hematologists. A spokeswoman for the trust, Susan Douglas, said lessons had been learned. Extra measures have been taken since Lockwood’s death, she said, such as adding ward audits.

All Was Not Holy: Bombshell Hillsong Doc Details Scandals, Abuse, Church Cover Ups

/0 Comments/in , /by

Under celebrity pastor Carl Lentz, international megachurch Hillsong became trendy and influential, garnering splashy profiles in outlets such as GQ, and attracting stars such as Chris Pratt, Kendall Jenner, Nick Jonas and Justin Bieber.

But all was not holy. “Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed,” a new three-part docuseries premiering March 24 on Discovery+, dives into the jaw-dropping history of the religious institution and its founder Brian Houston, who has been accused of everything from embezzling church funds to covering up child sex abuse. Houston, 68, stepped down as the church’s director in January (amid a court case accusing Houston of hiding his late father’s sexual abuse of children — all of which the church has denied), and he resigned for good March 23, after an internal misconduct investigation, which found Houston had behaved inappropriately towards two women. . .

Hillsong originated in Australia in 1983, founded by Houston, who grew up in dad Frank Houston’s Sydney-based Pentecostal church. When Houston was looking to expand into America, charismatic young pastor Lentz, now 43, came to his attention in 2010. . .

Ranin Karim, 35, alleges she had a five-month-long affair with Lentz that eventually led to Hillsong ousting him in 2020, as she exclusively told The Post in November 2020. In the documentary, Karim describes how they met in a park and exchanged phone numbers. When she asked for his last name, “He was like, ‘When people Google people . . . it’s not a good look. It’s better to get to know the person before you look them up.’ That was the weirdest answer I had ever heard,” she says. . .

Lentz was fired from Hillsong in November 2020, with Houston citing his “moral failures.” (Read more from “All Was Not Holy: Bombshell Hillsong Doc Details Scandals, Abuse, Church Cover Ups” HERE)
