Illegal Alien Hired by Church as Bus Driver Charged With 19 Counts of Child Molestation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Support of criminals and illegal aliens by many wayward churches is touted as the ultimate expression of compassion rooted in Biblical values. But it’s merely virtue-signaling – and not of virtues. Nowhere is this more evident than in the harboring of criminal aliens.

On Thursday, police in Annapolis, Maryland, arrested Jose Argueta, 44, an illegal alien from El Salvador, on 19 child sex assault charges. He is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl on four occasions and taking pornographic images of her during several of those incidents since mid-December.

“It was obvious that there was a lot of information confirming that this had happened and also photographs unfortunately–pornographic images of this child,” said Sgt. Amy Miguez of the Annapolis Police Department in an interview with reporters.

ICE lodged a detainer with the Anne Arundel County Detention Center on the day of the arrest, but for now Argueta is being held without bail.

How did Argueta have access to her? According to police, he met her while serving as a van driver for a local church, transporting the victim and her family to their church in Glen Burnie, Maryland, where Argueta also lived. Glen Burnie is a suburb of Baltimore on the south side in Anne Arundel County and has seen a massive influx of Central Americans in recent years, just like neighboring Montgomery and Prince George’s counties.

What is further troubling is that, according to court records, Argueta had a history of traffic violations and a DUI. Yet he had a valid Maryland trucking license. How was someone like this able to remain in the country and openly drive for a church? The entire purpose of the 1986 amnesty deal was to make it illegal for someone here unlawfully to work. This alleged crime was therefore 100 percent preventable.

The name of the church has not been publicized, but one has to wonder whether the church even cared to verify his immigration status or if church authorities actually knew he was an illegal alien. Harboring criminals tends to lead to more criminal activity – in this case, the terrible crime of child molestation.

All these politicians, civic leaders, and alleged religious leaders think they are doing the Lord’s work by harboring fugitives and criminals, among them many violent criminals. As I’ve reported before, Central America, particularly the rural areas from which many illegal aliens have come, have a cultural problem of child marriages, in which sex with teenage girls is considered more normal than it is here. There is also an epidemic of gang recruitment among Salvadorans in Maryland, more than in almost any state. This is why virtue-signaling is no virtue; it’s cruelty. Any effort by politicians, churches, or businesses in a state like Maryland to harbor illegal aliens will result in more preventable crimes.

Last year, Miguel Ramirez Valiente, an illegal alien from El Salvador, sought refuge in the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in Colorado Springs along with other illegal aliens. In January, he held a press conference crying about the potential for him to be separated from his family, and it was widely reported in the national media. “I can’t be separated from them,” he said. “I have always worked hard to support my family, and they depend on me.”

The church took him in despite his prior conviction for DUI and arrests for reckless endangerment and domestic violence. In August, he again drove recklessly and separated a father of five from his family permanently, in the grave, killing the father when Valiente’s truck swerved into the father’s motorcycle.

Just one year’s worth of illegal aliens subject to detainers have a collective rap sheet of charges including: 2,500 homicides, 56,000 assaults, 14,500 sex crimes, 5,000 robberies, and 2,500 kidnappings. And those are just the ones they catch. That’s some compassion these churches are promoting. It looks like these churches need to go back to the basics of Bible study before they educate themselves on immigration policy.

California Lawmakers Kill Ban on ‘Intersex’ Surgery for Young Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Lawmakers in California have killed a bill that would ban most surgeries on “intersex” infants and young children – those born with ambiguous sex characteristics.

The measure would have prohibited surgeries on children, aged six and under, born with sex characteristics that cannot easily be categorized as “male” or “female,” unless the Medical Board of California determined they were medically necessary.

A majority of state lawmakers – three Democrats and one Republican on the state Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee, voted to reject the bill, proposed by Democrat State Sen. Scott Wiener, that would have banned most of the intersex procedures, reported the Associated Press (AP).

Wiener claimed the bill addresses a civil rights issue and seeks to “ensure that people who are born intersex are able to make their own choices about their health and their gender identity instead of having other people make those irreversible surgical choices for them.” . . .

The committee heard the testimony of Dr. Hillary Copp, a pediatric urologist at the University of California, San Francisco, who said she opposed the bill because it would remove “all flexibility for trained medical professionals and their [sic] loved ones to do what is in the best interest of the patient.” (Read more from “California Lawmakers Kill Ban on ‘Intersex’ Surgery for Young Children” HERE)

Leftists Freakout After Liberal Stephen King for Saying Quality Matters in the Arts, Not Diversity

/0 Comments/in , /by

Author and Trump hater Stephen King is feeling the heat from fellow liberals following his tweets about the Academy Award nominations, in which he said that quality is more important than diversity when it comes to creating works of art.

Filmmaker Ava DuVernay hit back at King, calling his comments “backward and ignorant.” Author Laura Lippman also called out King, saying that the Hollywood system is “rigged.” . . .

Roxane Gay, the author and contributing opinion writer at The New York Times, expressed her disappointment in King, saying that “most industries only believe in quality from one demographic.”

King has become a darling among left-wing Hollywood types and the cultural elite for his vehement anti-Trump stance. The author of The Shining and Misery has repeatedly insulted President Donald Trump and his supporters on social media, calling him a “horse’s ass” and a “vile, racist, and incompetent bag of guts.”

Hollywood journalists turned their knives on the the Academy for what they saw as a lack of diversity among this year’s acting categories. Harriet actress Cynthia Erivo was the only non-white acting nominee this year, prompting journalists to resurrect the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag.

Gun-Toting Woman Confronts Man Allegedly Masturbating in Women’s Restroom

/0 Comments/in , /by

Stacey Crawford told WJBK-TV she’s been visiting the salon in Macy’s at the Fairlane Mall in Dearborn, Michigan, for the last decade — but her experience in a women’s restroom Friday night is one she’d prefer to forget. . .

Crawford noted to WJBK that as she was going into the restroom, another woman was in there “wrapping up” — and soon enough, things got scary.

“I’m in the stall, she’s beating on the stall [saying], ‘Ma am, ma’am.’ and I hear the urgency in her voice,” Crawford told WJBK. “I’m like, ‘What’s going on?'” . . .

Crawford then told the station when she opened the stall door, she saw a man touching himself and looking at the other woman — who became so terrified that she pulled out her gun. . .

Crawford and the other woman screamed for security and blocked one of the exit doors, but the station said the man casually took another way out of the restroom, made it through Macy’s — and into the mall.

A Pedophile Is Claiming He ‘Identifies’ as an 8-Year-Old Girl

/0 Comments/in , /by

A convicted sex offender in Michigan is heading to prison for 10–20 years after being caught with child pornography on his computer. What makes this case interesting is the defense that 45-year-old Joseph Gobrick offered in court. Speaking to a judge at his sentencing hearing, Gobrick claimed that he has a First Amendment right to look at child porn. He also claimed that he identifies as an eight-year-old girl.

“I’ve always been an eight-year-old girl,’’ Gobrick contended. “Even in my drawings and fantasies, I am always an eight-year-old girl. … There are adults having sex with me in an online forum as an eight-year-old girl.”

The judge apparently did not find this argument persuasive. No reasonable person would. But an obvious question is raised here. Why exactly can’t Gobrick identity as a young girl? On what basis can we deny or disqualify his self-identification?

Again, the reasonable among us know the answer. He can’t identify as one because he isn’t one. According to all available metrics, he is a 45-year-old pervert, not a third grader. He cannot choose to be a different age. He is the age he is, and that’s all there is to it. It is either insanity or willful deception that causes him to make this claim about himself. We therefore are perfectly justified in refuting his self-identity and refusing to play along with it. More than merely justified, we are in fact morally obliged to insist on truth over harmful fantasies and delusions.

State Lawmakers Propose Bill to Legalize Prostitution

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A bill to legalize adult prostitution in Vermont was recently introduced by female lawmakers in the state’s legislature.

The bill’s text read:

This bill proposes to repeal the prostitution laws while retaining felony human trafficking laws that prohibit recruiting, enticing, harboring, transporting, providing, or obtaining a minor for the purpose of commercial sex; patronizing a minor for commercial sex; recruiting, enticing, harboring, transporting, providing, or obtaining any person through force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of having the person engage in commercial sex; compelling any person through force, fraud, or coercion to engage in commercial sex; and patronizing any person for a commercial sex act who is being compelled through force, fraud, or coercion to engage in a commercial sex.

One of the bill’s sponsors, Rep. Selene Colburn who is a Burlington Progressive, said she believed decriminalizing so-called “sex work” would offer prostitutes more safety and improve their health.

Colburn also stated that if prostitution were not considered illegal in the state, charges would not be brought against the sex worker or the buyer, the VTDigger reported. (Read more from “State Lawmakers Propose Bill to Legalize Prostitution” HERE)

A gay man who went viral for protesting a drag queen story hour died Monday in an apparent suicide.

President of the University of Queensland’s conservative Liberal National Club Wilson Gavin died early Monday morning in Brisbane, Australia, at the age of 21, Buzzfeed reports. His death came a day after Gavin sparked internet backlash by protesting a drag queen story hour with about 20 others from the Liberal National Club. . .

Gavin and his fellow club members “stormed” into the Sunday morning drag queen story hour at Brisbane Square Library, chanting “drag queens are not for kids,” according to a video from the Australian news outlet Sunrise.

Gavin’s protest caused outrage among prominent Australians and Twitter users who condemned the protest using the hashtag #Istandwithqueens, Buzzfeed reports.

LGBTQIA+ & Human Rights Activist Johnny Valkyrie, who is transgender, posted on Facebook that the protest “was planned and targeted at me. It hurt and affected so many others. I am sorry.” (Read more from “Gay Student Dies in Apparent Suicide After Going Viral for Protesting Drag Queen Story Hour” HERE)

Airline Sued Over Creepy Texts Sent to Female Passenger by Employee During Her Flight (VIDEO)

A woman says that she was stalked by an American Airlines employee during her flight and she’s suing the company for not taking her complaint seriously.

Ashley Barno said she received mysterious texts as she boarded a flight at San Diego International Airport in April. . .

That’s when he told her that his name was “Ahmed” and that he worked for the airlines. She believes he obtained her phone number from the luggage tag on her carry-on bag.

“I am on board now. Are you going to Chicago too??” he texted after they boarded. . .

“Just knowing that he knew what I looked like, and that we were in an enclosed flight, on an enclosed plane, and there’s no way out, like, really really scared me,” she told NBC-7 in New York.

‘1917’ Star Reflects on Grueling Conditions the Cast Endured for Best Picture of the Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

Director Sam Mendes can hold his Best Director and Best Picture of the Year Golden Globes up high. Truly, once the Hollywood Foreign Press Association saw the extended one-shot Mendes pulled off for his epic war thriller, “1917,” the other contenders didn’t have a prayer.

What Mendes has achieved on the silver screen is nothing short of remarkable. “1917” pushes the editing boundaries by giving us one continuous shot of a daring mission in World War I. . .

The cast and crew filmed “1917” in a series of long shots that stick together to appear as though it’s one take, Chapman explained to Townhall in an interview on Wednesday. The longest shot, the actor recalled, was almost nine minutes long. They rehearsed for six months to get their chemistry with the cameras just right.

“The whole thing was choreographed,” Chapman said. “It literally was a dance between the camera and the actor. We were genuinely bouncing off of each other. So if I stepped a bit too far to my left and the camera would adjust where if the camera wasn’t quite ready, then I would hold my line and wait for the camera to fill in on my face. It was this whole flow and rhythm between the two things gelling together.” . . .

Chapman was perhaps also so in tune with his character, Corporal Blake, because of the realistic conditions in which they filmed. The actor once played Billy Elliott in London’s West End. It’s a three-hour show with a series of extended dance sequences. And Billy is in every scene. But that didn’t quite prepare him for the six weeks of filming in muddy trenches for “1917.” (Read more from “‘1917’ Star Reflects on Grueling Conditions the Cast Endured for Best Picture of the Year” HERE)

University Student Almost Thrown in Jail for Using the N-Word

/0 Comments/in , /by

A University of Connecticut student who was arrested for using the n-word has narrowly avoided jail.

Jarred Karal was arrested after he was filmed walking through a parking lot and shouting the word “n*gger.” He was with two other individuals, one of whom was also arrested.

The students claimed they were playing a game centered around screaming vulgar words, but were charged under CGS 53-37, “ridicule on account of creed, religion, color, denomination, nationality or race.”

Karal was originally facing up to 30 days in jail, but a judge accepted Karal’s plea for accelerated rehabilitation, under which he will spend 6 months on probation while completing 20 hours of community service.

The student will also be forced to under go “diversity and bias” training. (Read more from “University Student Almost Thrown in Jail for Using the N-Word” HERE)
