/0 Comments/in , , /by

An elderly Walmart customer was beaten to death by the parents of a teen employee who he had argued with after accusing her of nearly ramming his wife with a shopping cart, according to his grieving widow.

Bert Atienza died of blunt head trauma at a hospital on June 8, a day after two people attacked him inside a Walmart in Norfolk, Va., WTKR reported on Monday.

“My husband was still able to speak, he said, ‘Help me, get up,’ but I told him, ‘no you’re bleeding. Your mouth is bleeding. Ambulance is coming,” Atienza’s wife Josephine said.

“I look at him again. He has no more consciousness.”

The 77-year-old was grocery shopping with his wife of 42 years after a morning at church when a 17-year-old employee tore down the aisle the couple was in, almost clipping Josephine with a cart.

Police Respond To Clashing Protests Outside Bar That Kicked Out Patrons Wearing ‘XX-XY’ Shirts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two rival crowds squared off outside a Portland women’s sports bar Friday over the issue of men in women’s sports, and police got involved to break up the cat fight.

The confrontation erupted near The Sports Bra, a venue that shows only women’s sports, on Sept. 11, according to the Daily Tidings. Roughly seven demonstrators assembled across the street around 5:40 p.m. to object to the bar, and more than 30 counterprotesters gathered in response, KPTV reported. Members of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization joined the larger group in support of transgender rights and LGBTQ+ spaces.

Both sides exchanged chants along the street before the standoff shifted into a nearby parking lot, according to KPTV. Conservative livestreamer Thomas Allen appeared at the scene and filmed the dispute, the Daily Tidings reported.

Transgender rights activists claimed Allen and people with him sprayed a chemical irritant at several individuals and walked into the grocery store carrying weapons, according to KPTV.

Portland Police Bureau officers arrvied around 5:45 p.m., directed the crowds away from traffic, and watched until everyone left, KPTV reported. Officers examined two complaints about irritant spray but arrested no one, pointing to insufficient probable cause, and logged no injuries. Activists faulted that response and pressed for accountability, arguing police stood by while attacks occurred.

Holdout Juror in Lindsay Clancy Mistrial, Michael P. Desronvil, Speaks out for First Time after Intense Backlash

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The holdout juror who sparked a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy’s Massachusetts murder trial has spoken out publicly for the first time to defend himself amid an online frenzy — as his lawyer dubbed him “an American Hero and Champion of Justice” who loves the USA and President Trump.

Michael P. Desronvil, 48, clapped back at accusations from fellow jurors that he refused to budge on his belief Clancy was guilty of murdering her three kids despite expressing doubts.

“I didn’t have any doubts. As I tried to explain different possible theories during deliberation, I kept getting cut off as if I had doubts based on the evidence present,” Desronvil said in a statement to News Nation on Thursday. “Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses, and what the prosecution presents, I thought it was enough proof that she [Clancy] knew exactly what she was doing and planned.”

Desronvil — a father from a Haitian immigrant family and a devout Christian with a history of abuse allegations — was the lone juror who refused to find Clancy not guilty of murder by reason of insanity, a decision which turned the six-week trial on its head and dragged him to the center of the explosive case.

The Bridgewater resident comes from a large family of Haitian immigrants who moved to the US and settled in Massachusetts in 1982, meaning he would have been about 4 years old when he arrived in America.

Suicide Rate Soars for Girls as Young as 10 — and Expert Claims One Major Trend is to Blame

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Suicide rates among girls have grown at a faster rate than boys in recent years, thanks to younger access to social media and the impact of the COVID lockdowns, according to experts.

Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among 10- to 14-year-olds in the US, with marked increases noted between 2007 and 2021, according to a new report in JAMA Pediatrics, an American Medical Association-published medical journal released Tuesday.

Historically, male suicide rates have been higher than female suicide rates across all age groups, but between 2007 and 2017, the suicide rate for girls aged 10 to 19 increased far more than the rate for males.

While huge emphasis in recent years has been placed on the dangers of toxic online spaces on young boys — such as Andrew Tate’s manosphere — commentators may have overlooked how susceptible young girls were to pernicious content on social media, according to the report’s author, Dr. Jean Twenge, professor of psychology at San Diego State University.

“From roughly 2010 to 2019, I think it’s pretty clear that social media and smartphones were behind a lot of that increase in suicides, especially for girls,” Twenge, author of “10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High-Tech World,” told The Post.

“Social media use is more strongly linked to depression and other mental health issues among girls than it is among boys,” she said. (Read more from “Suicide Rate Soars for Girls as Young as 10 — and Expert Claims One Major Trend is to Blame” HERE)

Wealthy District Sued for Allowing Kids to Change their Names and Gender on School Records without Parents Knowing

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A wealthy elite New Jersey school district is being sued for allowing students to change their names and gender identities on school records without telling their parents, reports say.

The controversial Chathams School District policy also keeps parents in the dark when giving students access to bathrooms and locker rooms based on what gender they identify with, according to NJ.com.

The directive reportedly gives the district’s guidance counselors the authority to decide “whether, and to what extent” parents can be informed.

“They have a policy in the school district that will actually punish children that don’t use the demanded new gender identity pronoun and name of another student,” seethed Moms for Liberty CEO and founder Tina Descovich, whose group is among the plaintiffs, to Fox News Digital.

“They can do that just one time on accident, and they can be punished up to suspension just for using the wrong pronoun or the wrong name of someone that is identifying as something other than they actually are,” she said of other students.

Trump Admin Sues School District For Clandestine Student Gender Transitions

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump Administration is suing a public school district in Kansas City, Kansas, over secret gender transitions for students, which violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Unified School District No. 500 has had a policy for transgender and gender non-conforming students in place since 2017, pressuring school officials to use students’ preferred names and pronouns, according to the complaint. Under the same policy, school officials must evaluate gender transitions on a case-by-case basis if a student does not want to involve their parents.

The policy violates FERPA, which gives parents the right to access and review their children’s education records; it also violates the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), which protects students from disclosing information about sensitive topics such as religious practices or sexual behavior on surveys or instructional materials.

The lawsuit follows an Aug. 2025 Education Department investigation into Topeka Public Schools, Shawnee Public Schools, Olathe Public Schools, and Kansas City Public Schools following a complaint from the Defense of Freedom Institute alleging the schools were allowing students to compete in sports based on their gender identity without disclosing their “transgender status” to their parents.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon reacted to the lawsuit in a Justice Department press release. (Read more from “Trump Admin Sues School District For Clandestine Student Gender Transitions” HERE)

It’s Harder For Zoomers To Afford These Five Mainstays Of Life That Boomers Could When They Were Their Age

/1 Comment/in , /by

Reflecting contemporary economic realities, many of what have traditionally been considered life’s mainstays have become harder for Generation Z in their 20s to attain than they were for Boomers at that age.

Wages are around 3.8 times higher today than they were in 1985, when most Boomers were around 25 years old, according to a recent study conducted by crypto casino BC Game. The study analyzed multiple publicly available sources to compare changing financial circumstances since 1985. The cost of housing, college, cars, childcare, and weddings, however, outpaced earning power over that same time period. . .

The median price of a house rose from $82,800 in 1985 to $403,200 — nearly five times higher — in 2025/2026, according to BC Game.

The annual cost of tuition and fees for college, meanwhile, increased by nearly seven times, climbing from $5,556 in 1985 to $39,307 in 2025/2026, according to the study.

The cost of a typical used car climbed from $2,656 in 1985 to $26,918 in 2025/2026, and the cost of a wedding rose from roughly $7,800 to $36,000 over that same time period. That’s an increase of roughly ten and five times, respectively. (Read more from “It’s Harder For Zoomers To Afford These Five Mainstays Of Life That Boomers Could When They Were Their Age” HERE)

The Lindsay Clancy Case Exposes Big Pro-Life’s Woke ‘Second Victim’ Lie

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three children are dead at Lindsay Clancy’s hand, yet a rotten culture has rallied to make her the central victim. That reflex exposes a deep connection between Big Pro-Life, feminism, and wokeness. We cannot establish justice until we confront it.

Big Pro-Life insists that a mother who intentionally kills her preborn child is abortion’s “second victim,” not a morally responsible agent. The response to Lindsay Clancy carries that same presumption outside the womb: The mother is centered as victim, and accountability is recast as cruelty.

Hundreds of women have rallied in pink to support her. More than 31,000 donors have given more than $1 million to offset her parents’ costs of standing beside her. Three children are dead at their mother’s hand, yet she has become the central object of public sympathy, solidarity, and financial support.

Whether Clancy lacked criminal responsibility because of genuine mental incapacity must be judged according to evidence and due process. The scandal is that the culture answered that question in her favor before the jury could, directing its emotional energy toward her rather than her three dead children.

Big Pro-Life cannot wash its hands of this spectacle. For decades, it has preached the same moral grammar now displayed outside that courtroom: When a mother murders her child, center her suffering, relocate agency onto doctors, drugs, systems, or circumstances, and treat accountability as another act of cruelty against her.

Forget 8 Hours — New Research Reveals how much Sleep Adults Really Need

/1 Comment/in , , /by

When it comes to sleep, is eight hours really the magic number?

While adequate rest is undoubtedly an important component of human health, how much sleep we need isn’t the same for everyone.

A new review from Brain Medicine challenges the notion that all adults require eight hours of sleep a night to be healthy.

“Human sleep patterns in pre-industrial societies exhibit substantial flexibility, suggesting that contemporary norms of consolidated nocturnal sleep are not evolutionarily fixed,” according to the authors. . .

Long before the implementation of the 40-hour workweek, the invention of alarm clocks and the use of cellphones, people relied on a more natural sleep cycle — one that often didn’t amount to eight hours a night.

Per the Conversation, researchers have studied hunter-gatherer communities — whose lifestyles share more similarities with those of our ancestors and who have limited or no exposure to artificial light — to better understand natural sleep duration in humans.

Lindsay Clancy’s Sick Fans are Just Normalizing the Horror of a Mother Killing her Three Children

/2 Comments/in , /by

The bizarre fandom around Lindsay Clancy is the latest example of a moral rot infecting a small cohort of conspiracy-minded, self-engrossed women.

In a clear case of female empathy gone awry, they have transformed a Massachusetts nurse who strangled her three babies into the sole victim in this tragedy, while demonizing their poor father, Patrick.

The murdered children, Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months, barely get a mention in the outpouring of support for Lindsay, who has become a vehicle for the “TikTok Moms’ ” own fake victimhood.

Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to the 2023 murder of her children who she methodically strangled, one by one, with exercise bands after sending Patrick out to pick up dinner and medications. She does not dispute that she killed the children but claims she was “suffering from psychosis at the time.”

The prosecution contends she “acted intentionally, rationally, and swiftly to accomplish a very specific goal — to kill . . . She knew exactly what she was doing.”

The five-week trial has been televised to an increasingly obsessive audience of true crime nuts, assorted snoops and a disturbing number of women who have taken to filming themselves holding babies and whining about how hard it is to be a mom.
