Vietnam War Vet Allegedly Killed by Drunk-Driving Illegal Alien Hours Before Veterans Day

/0 Comments/in , /by

Add 67-year-old Vietnam veteran Samuel W. Jackson to the endless list of thousands of Americans killed by illegal alien drunk drivers who will never have their memories evoked in Congress.

According to Norristown, Pennsylvania, police, Jackson was exiting his car on Sunday night when a speeding car driven by Nemias Perez-Severiano, 31, plowed into him and dragged his body for 55 feet. The driver fled the scene, but police used camera footage of the car to apprehend Severiano. The suspect later admitted to being “a little drunk” after consuming seven or eight beers at the La Poblanita Mexican Bar a few blocks away.

Local media reported Severiano as a “Norristown man,” but according to an ICE spokeswoman, “ICE lodged an immigration detainer Nov. 12 with the Norristown Police Department on Nemia Perez-Severiano, an illegally present Mexican national, following his Nov. 10 arrest by local law enforcement.”

As far as I can see, not a single news story on this high-profile tragedy has mentioned the ICE detainer, even though the fact that Severiano was driving without a license was an obvious indication that he might be in the country illegally.

Jackson’s death gained prominence in the media when the family of this Marine veteran was looking for a uniform for his military funeral. Richard Dunn, a retired Marine from a nearby community, donated his uniform for the burial, which will take place on Saturday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Jackson was killed Sunday night, just hours before Veterans Day and on the 244th anniversary of the Marine Corps.

It’s enormously tragic that American veterans who are sent overseas to fight for us are killed back at home by illegal aliens who should never be in this country. Drunk driving is pervasive and is one of the most underreported epidemics in this country. Thousands of these drunk-driving incidents that result in serious damage, injury, or death are completely avoidable. This is especially true given that drunk driving is a habitual crime. Given that most American drunk drivers are barely punished, they will likely be out on the streets in short order doing it again. But when it comes to illegal alien drunk drivers, of which there are many, the first time they are caught driving drunk should be the last day they are in this country.

According to Montgomery County court records, Severiano was arrested on May 26 for “public drunkenness and similar misconduct.” While “public drunkenness” is considered low-level and would not result in jail time for Americans, an illegal alien caught for any crime should immediately be turned over to ICE.

There is no record in this case of a prior ICE detainer request, so this case is not a sanctuary issue, but it does reveal a broader absurdity in criminal justice, namely that the citizenship of an offender is not automatically tracked. Law-abiding citizens are asked whether they are U.S. citizens on a daily basis during many interactions with private and public officials. Why is it not standard procedure to ask anyone who is arrested, “What is your country of citizenship?” That is more important than any other arrest information because that will determine whether the individual can be removed from the country, thereby avoiding unnecessary costs and possible future lives taken by more crime.

This point was tragically evident in Wayne County, New York, last week. On Sunday, the same day Jackson was killed by an illegal alien in Pennsylvania, Mark Knapp was killed when he was ejected from his tractor parked on the shoulder of Route 31 in Weedsport after Heriberto Perez-Velasquez, an illegal alien allegedly driving drunk, plowed into the back of the tractor. He was charged with DUI manslaughter, driving without a license, and fleeing from police.

Knapp’s death was 100 percent avoidable. Perez-Velasquez is an illegal alien from Guatemala. Just three weeks before, on the night of October 18, Wayne County police caught him parked in the middle of a road and found that he was drunk. When they attempted to handcuff him, he took off running. He was eventually caught and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated because he had a blood alcohol level of .22.

According to the Times of Wayne County, police actually contacted ICE after Perez-Velasquez couldn’t produce a driver’s license or any legal documentation. ICE requested that he be held and found he has previously been deported. But here’s the kicker: This is where jailbreak, aka weak-on-on-crime policies, merges with immigration law. It appears that the suspect was released without any bond because of the new law in New York abolishing bail for many criminal offenses. As I’ve reported extensively, even though the law doesn’t take effect until January, the state has gotten a head-start on abolishing bail. Thus, in the rush to comply with this insane law governing American criminals, somehow Perez-Velasquez wound up being released, and later went on to allegedly kill Mark Knapp.

Jailbreak and thwarting immigration law are a toxic mix of anarchy that leave American victims of crime with no recourse against totally avoidable deaths and sex offenses. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton expressed concern that Houston’s plan to abolish bail would lead to the reckless release of criminal aliens. The death of Mark Knapp in New York stands as a tragic testament to that premonition.

Sadly, there is utter silence from Congress on both the crime wave and illegal alien drunk drivers. How hard is it for them to run for office on the proposition that the first crime an illegal alien commits in this country should be the last? Some lives are just more equal than others to the politicians, and it’s not those of law-abiding Americans.

Judge: U.S. Born Woman Who Joined ISIS Is Not an American Citizen

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge ruled Thursday that an American-born woman who traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State (ISIS) group and now wants to return to her family in Alabama is not a U.S. citizen.

U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton dismissed a lawsuit brought by the family of Hoda Muthana to force the federal government to let her in the country.

Muthana, 25, currently lives with her 2-year-old son in a refugee camp in Syria and has since repudiated the terrorist group. A court motion said she and child, identified only as John Doe, were moved from the Roj refugee camp after receiving death threats from ISIS supporters and that their lives are in danger, The New York Times reported.

“The citizenship status of minor John Doe depends upon the status of Ms. Muthana; accordingly, regardless of the choices made by his mother, the health and survival of a young U.S. citizen depends upon the expeditious resolution of Ms. Muthana’s civil case,” the claim said.

In addition to dismissing a lawsuit, Walton also ruled that Muthana’s father, Ahmed Ali Muthana, could not provide financial support to his daughter or grandson without being subject to charges of providing material support of terrorism.

‘South Park’ Episode Brutally Mocks Transgender Athletes Competing in Women’s Sports

/0 Comments/in , /by

The creators of “South Park” mocked the notion of transgender athletes competing in women’s sports for the seventh episode of their twenty-third season on Wednesday night.

The episode, titled “Board Girls,” featured a transgender character that closely resembles late wrestling icon Randy Savage, who played a leading role in the episode.

The Savage-like character — called Heather Swanson — is featured alongside Strong Woman, an elementary school principal teacher who enters a Strongwoman Competition. During the competition, a newscaster asks Strong Woman her thoughts about transgender people competing in women’s sports. She responds by saying that she’s in favor of the inclusive movement.

Swanson, who says she began identifying as female just two weeks prior to the competition, told the newscaster that she was at the competition to dominate. . .

Swanson, naturally, wins all of the Strongwoman competitions and goes on to pick fights with characters who don’t support his transition or his choice to compete in women’s sports. Swanson goes on to call the principal of the elementary school a “transphobe,” and it’s later revealed that Swanson is actually one of Strong Woman’s ex-boyfriends who has sworn revenge on the woman who embarrassed him years back.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A high school geometry teacher in Washington state has been arrested and booked on several charges, after allegedly threatening to shoot students at Emerald Ridge High School in Puyallup. . .

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office said Julie Hillend-Jones, 58, was arrested at her home Wednesday morning, when law enforcement questioned her about alleged threats she made the night before while speaking to another adult.

PCSD Detective Ed Troyer told KING-TV that Hillend-Jones “didn’t back off” from the threats she made when investigators pressed her on the claims.

“Everybody knows you don’t talk about guns or make any threats in school,” Troyer said. “If the student does it, they’re going to jail. Now we have a teacher doing it. They’re also going to jail, so she’s been booked into the Pierce County Jail.”

Hillend-Jones was immediately placed on administrative leave Tuesday evening, after her alleged threats were reported to school officials. Now, she faces at least one felony charge of threatening to bomb or injure property. (Read more from “Report: High School Teacher Arrested for Threatening to Shoot Students” HERE)

State Health Department Allows Illegal Abortion Clinic to Continue Killing Babies up to Birth

/0 Comments/in , /by

A late-term abortion facility in Ohio will remain open despite repeatedly failing to comply with the law.

Back in 2016, the Ohio Department of Health revoked the license of the Women’s Med Center in Kettering, near Dayton, for failing to have a written transfer agreement with a hospital for patient emergencies. Since then, the abortion facility and health officials have been battling in court over its license.

On Wednesday, however, Ohio Right to Life learned that the department granted a new license to the abortion facility.

“Women’s Med Center has struggled for years to meet the same requirements that all other ambulatory surgical facilities are required to meet. These laws were put in place to protect women,” said Stephanie Ranade Krider, vice president of Ohio Right to Life. “The fact that Martin Haskell continues to seek exceptions to basic health and safety rules shows where his true priorities lie: protecting his abortion business.”

Earlier this month, LifeNews reported the Ohio Supreme Court denied a request for appeal from Haskell in a court battle over its license. The news brought hope to pro-life advocates that the abortion facility would close soon.

Twins Born at 23 Weeks Were Given Just 1 Percent Chance to Survive, but They Defied the Odds

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twins Joe and Ashley Keates entered the world on April 16 weighing less than 1 pound each and fitting in their mother’s hand.

Doctors gave them just a 1 percent chance of survival, but today they are thriving at home with their family, the Daily Mail reports. . .

The baby boys are believed to be the smallest premature twins ever to survive in England after they were born at just 23 weeks of pregnancy, according to the reports.

Earlier this year, their mother said Joe’s amniotic sac burst, prompting the twins’ early delivery. Joe weighed 15.1 ounces (0.95 pounds), and Ashley weighed 14.2 ounces (0.9 pounds), according to the report. . .

The boys surprised everyone with their fighting spirit, and, after 129 days in intensive care, they grew well enough to go home with their parents and older siblings, the report states. Ashley now can wear newborn clothes and his brother is wearing clothes for 0-3-month-old babies, their mother said.

DISTURBING REPORT: Homeless Man Randomly Poured ‘Bucket of Hot Diarrhea’ on Woman in LA

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California woman says she is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a homeless man randomly doused her with a bucket of diarrhea near the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles earlier this year.

An NBC4 investigation broadcast on Monday night revealed that the vagrant who attacked her was charged with battery, taken to jail, sent to a mental health residential facility for two months, and is now “back on the streets.”

NBC4’s I-Team reports:

Heidi Van Tassel was parked in Hollywood after having a pleasant evening out with friends at an authentic Thai restaurant. Suddenly a man randomly pulled her out of the car, dragged her out to the middle of the street, and dumped a bucket of feces on her head, Van Tassel said and public records confirm.

“It was diarrhea. Hot liquid. I was soaked, and it was coming off my eyelashes and into my eyes,” Van Tassel said. “Paramedics who came to treat me said there was so much of it on me, that it looked like the man was saving it up for a month.”

Texas Judge Stalls a Hospital’s Decision to Take 9-Month-Old Baby off Life Support Over Mother’s Objections

/0 Comments/in , /by

The family of nine-month-old Tinslee Lewis is fighting to find a place that will help keep her alive, despite a hospital’s recent decision to take the child off of life support.

According to KTXA-TV, a judge granted a temporary restraining order on Sunday evening that will allow the infant to stay on life support until at least November 22 while her family tries to find another facility that will care for her.

Tinslee was born in February with a congenital heart defect that caused her heart to enlarge and also led to lung problems. She has had multiple surgeries and has been on a ventilator for months now.

The hospital told Tinslee’s mother that doctors planned to take her child off life support at the end of October and gave her 10 days to find other arrangements, per a Texas law — often called the “10 Day Rule” — that allows hospitals to remove life support from patients despite families’ wishes.

“A team of Cook Children’s [Hospital] doctors, nurses and staff have given their all to help Tinslee,” a hospital statement said at the time of the decision. “While we believe every child’s life is sacred, we also believe that no child should be sentenced to a life of pain. Removing this beautiful child from mechanical ventilation is a gut-wrenching decision for Cook Children’s physicians and staff, however we feel it is in her best interest to free her from artificial, medical intervention and suffering.”

The statement also claims that Cook’s has reached out to several other hospitals that agree with the assessment.

However, hours ahead of when the baby’s life support was scheduled for removal on Sunday, a county judge blocked the hospital from pulling the plug.

“We secured a temporary restraining order this afternoon, preventing Texas’ Ten Day Law from claiming Baby Tinslee’s life. We have a hearing on the 22nd,” Texas Right to Life attorney Emily Kebodeaux Cook said in a report at the Texan. The state-level pro-life organization — which is assisting mother Trinity Lewis in the matter — has also called on the Lone Star State’s governor and legislators to call a special session to eliminate the “10 Day Rule,” saying that it “forces everyday Texans like the Lewis family to race against the clock to save their loved ones.”

At a press conference following the judge’s decision, the child’s mother reiterated her efforts to find another hospital to take her child, calling her daughter “a fighter” who has already been through “so much” and “always pulled through.”

“We are a family who believes that where there’s just a little air, there’s hope,”family member Beverly Winston added during the press conference.

“Regardless of what your reason, the law is, she deserves a chance to fight for her life,” Winston added. “And she’s got a troop that will help her 100 percent and above.”

But while the restraining order is good news for the family, the search for a new medical facility continues. At the same press conference, Republican state legislator Tan Parker said he wanted to “put out an APB to any institution in this country that believes they’ve got the skill set to be able help baby Tinslee – to address the pulmonary and cardiac issues that she’s facing.”

“We would pray and ask that you would reach out to the good folks here at Cook’s and to the family,” Parker continued, “because that’s really what we’re focused on is to find a solution.” (For more from the author of “Texas Judge Stalls a Hospital’s Decision to Take 9-Month-Old Baby off Life Support Over Mother’s Objections” please click HERE)

Pastor’s Wife Rejoices That 12-Year-Old Transgender Son Received Hormone-Blockers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jamie Bruesehoff, the wife of a Lutheran pastor, rejoiced on Facebook earlier this month that her transgender daughter — Rebekah, 12, who was born male but identifies as female — had just received a “life-affirming” hormone-blocking implant for the second time. . .

⁣”That is the face of a girl terrified of hospitals and needles, but more terrified of having to live life as someone she is not,” Bruesehoff said of Rebekah. “That is the face of a girl feeling on top of the world, knowing her body won’t betray her, and she’s one step closer to the woman she will grow up to be.⁣” . . .

Rebekah took to Facebook late last month and declared the following: “To say that I am being abused by being allowed to live an authentic life is not only nonsense (the statistics clearly show that kids who are supported in their gender identity thrive while kids who are not supported struggle deeply), it’s also a slap in the face to victims of ACTUAL abuse.”

Roman Polanski Accused of Violently Raping Teenager

/0 Comments/in , /by

Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski was accused by a French former model and actress on Friday of raping her at his Swiss ski resort when she was 18. . .

This is the latest accusation against the Polish-born octogenarian, who was convicted of the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl and then fled to France in 1978. He has since been a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system. . .

In the winter of 1975, [Valentine] Monnier said she was not acquainted with Polanski when she agreed to go skiing at his Swiss chalet. She had tagged along with a group of friends.

“Life had not trained me to be suspicious,” she said. When she arrived upstairs, she said Polanski was nude and attacked her, hitting her and ripping off her clothes before violently assaulting her. (Read more from “Roman Polanski Accused of Violently Raping Teenager” HERE)
