9-Year-Old Charged with First-Degree Murder in Illinois (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A 9-year-old child has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder, two counts of arson and one count of aggravated arson in connection with a mobile home fire that claimed the lives of five people in Illinois. . .

On April 6, a 1-year-old, two 2-year-olds, a 34-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman died of smoke inhalation from a home fire near Goodfield, Illinois, USA Today reported. Katrina Atwood, 27 at the time, survived, along with one of her children.

Now, authorities say, a 9-year-old is responsible for sparking the blaze, and should be held accountable for the deaths of the victims. According to the Woodford County coroner, the fire was set intentionally.

“It was a heavy decision,” Woodford County State’s Attorney Greg Minger told NBC News on deciding to move forward with prosecution. “It’s a tragedy, but at the end of the day, it’s charging a very young person with one of the most serious crimes we have. But I just think it needs to be done at this point, for finality.”

But proving that the accused child set the fire with the intent to kill could be a difficult task for the prosecution, juvenile defense attorney Gus Kostopoulos told the outlet. “Nine-year-olds don’t know that Santa Claus doesn’t exist,” Kostopoulos argued. “They don’t know people die and don’t come back to life. I don’t know if a 9-year-old can form intent to commit murder.”

Elizabeth Warren Thinks Tax Payers Should Pay for Transgender Surgery for Inmates

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elizabeth Warren said she was wrong not to support taxpayer-funded transition-related surgery for transgender inmates.

“I think that was a bad answer,” the senior senator for Massachusetts and top-tier 2020 Democratic presidential candidate said during a CNN town hall focused on gay and transgender issues. “Everyone is entitled to medical care that they need.”

In 2012, Warren said the procedure was not “a good use of taxpayer dollars” during her first bid for the Senate. A federal court at the time ordered Massachusetts to provide sex change surgery to Michelle Kosilek, a convicted murderer, in one of the state’s prisons. Her campaign in January began walking back the senator’s comment in a statement, saying she endorsed “medically necessary services, including transition-related surgeries.”

Warren’s remarks Thursday night follow the release of her gay and transgender rights plan. Her proposal includes ending solitary confinement, monitoring compliance with the Prison Rape Elimination Act, prosecuting prison staff for misconduct, and offering sex change surgery, if deemed necessary.

NYC Plans Statues to Honor Seven Women — Two of Them Were Actually Men

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York City has selected seven women to honor with statues placed around the city, two of whom were actually born male.

The statues were planned as part of the “She Built NYC” initiative spearheaded by the first lady of NYC, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s wife Chirlane McCray, meant to celebrate the women who had a hand in making the city what it is today.

McCray, along with former Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen, announced the project in June of 2018, saying that they would take nominations from the public and a committee would narrow down the suggestions to choose a winner. . .

[Marsha] Johnson and [Sylvia] Rivera, neither of whom were born female, are set to be honored with a joint monument in Manhattan. . .

Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, an Italian-American woman who was the first American to be recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church, reportedly received the most votes from New Yorkers when McCray asked for public submissions — but she was still passed over when the final selections were made.

Planned Parenthood Doctor Admits: Strong Demand for Aborted Babies’ Livers, Kidneys, Intestines

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Planned Parenthood doctor has revealed that there is a strong demand for aborted babies’ livers and kidneys from organizations that harvest the bodies provided by the abortion giant.

Dr. Thomas Moran was giving evidence in a lawsuit the organization has filed against David Daleiden and his colleagues over undercover videos that show Planned Parenthood senior executives negotiate over the sale of body parts from abortions.

Moran, who is a medical director of Planned Parenthood Southwest, San Diego, told the court about how he ended up being secretly recorded while talking to Daleiden and other undercover researchers at a Planned Parenthood Conference in 2015.

Moran agreed that the undercover researchers did not seek him out; rather, Moran and his colleagues approached the booth where Daleiden and his associates were posing as legitimate tissue and organ buyers. . .

Moran agreed that “as a result of abortions that would be performed there, including abortions [he] did, they would sometimes place a demand for certain organs, including livers.” (Read more from “Planned Parenthood Doctor Admits: Strong Demand for Aborted Babies’ Livers, Kidneys, Intestines” HERE)

Three Women Arrested After Police Bust ‘Fight Club’ at Retirement Home

/0 Comments/in , /by

The first rule about fight club is you don’t talk about fight club. Well, unless you get busted for running an illegal underground fight club at a retirement home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, then by all means let’s talk about that. On Friday morning, Fox 8 reported that three women were apprehended by authorities after police received reports that workers were allowing and encouraging elderly residents to fight each other.

According to Fox 8, “In June, police received a report of elder abuse at the Danby House assisted living facility. Workers were accused of letting residents fight each other.” “Marilyn Latish McKey, 32, Tonacia Yvonne Tyson, 20, and Taneshia Deshawn Jordan, 26,” were arrested by police.

The nursing home, The Danby House, issued a statement condemning their employees’ actions:

Danby House has a zero-tolerance policy for the mistreatment of those in our care and as such, McKey, Tyson, and Jordan were terminated immediately in June when community management was alerted to this situation. Administrators have been working closely with the Winston-Salem Police Department throughout its investigation to ensure justice is served. Additional staff training and a more rigorous vetting process has been implemented for all new and existing employees at Danby House has been implemented to ensure the high standard of resident care that this community is known for continues.

Staffer Was Ready to Harvest Baby’s Body Parts During Late-Term Abortion but ‘the Baby Just Fell out’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Planned Parenthood called their third and fourth witnesses in the trial involving its lawsuit against the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) yesterday. As you are likely aware, Planned Parenthood sued CMP following the release of videos showing PP doctors haggling over the price of baby body parts.

The third witness was Adrian Lopez, who serves in the U.S. Navy as a hospital corpsman in the Neonatal ICU at Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego. As part of his duties, Lopez cares for babies born at 21-22 weeks gestation—the same age as many of the babies whose organs are sold for profit. Planned Parenthood attorneys grilled Lopez for his role in the undercover videos, even though Lopez had little to do with the planning or execution of the sting operation. . .

During cross-examination, however, Lopez was able to share with the jury an incident involving a “procurement technician” who harvests organs from aborted babies:“There was mention of a woman, a patient being so dilated that when they get in the stirrups, the fetus falls out.”

Defendant Sandra Merritt testified regarding the same incident last week, saying “…she was standing out in the hallway waiting to harvest human body parts and that it was so quick, much faster. I think three minutes that — where she’s strapped in and ready for the abortion, but the baby just fell out. And since the baby was born alive with no Digoxin…having not received any medication prior to being born alive…” (Read more from “Staffer Was Ready to Harvest Baby’s Body Parts During Late-Term Abortion but ‘the Baby Just Fell out'” HERE)

Spitting, Twerking, Violent Pro-Abortion Mob Descends upon Pro-Life Group at College (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Things seemed relatively placid when a pro-life group — TFP Student Action — set up a small demonstration with brochures and bagpipes at George Washington University in the nation’s capital late last month. . .

One flustered woman kicked things off, arguing at one point with a pro-lifer that “it’s still a baby inside, but I have every single right to f***ing decide what I do with my own f***ing body!” . . .

TFP Student Action said pro-abortion advocates soon employed social media to organize like-minded folks to gather and confront their members, who were quickly and vastly outnumbered.

“Hail Satan!” one counter-demonstrator yelled, the pro-life group said.

A male student offered that “I eat baby lungs for breakfast!” TFP Student Action added.

U.S. Official Charged with Human Smuggling After Bringing More Than 40 Pregnant Women into Country

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Arizona elected official is facing dozens of charges in three states in connection with a multimillion-dollar adoption scheme in which he allegedly smuggled more than 40 women into the U.S. from the Marshall Islands, promising them money in exchange for their babies.

Authorities believe Paul Peterson, an adoption lawyer and Maricopa County Assessor was the head of a smuggling ring that allegedly recruited Marshallese women “and offered a significant amount of money to place their babies for adoption in Utah,” state Attorney General Sean Reyes told reporters Wednesday.

Peterson is charged with 11 second and third-degree felonies in Utah, including human smuggling, sale of a child, communications fraud and pattern of unlawful activity, Reyes said. . .

Reyes said his office’s investigation began after investigators got a call to a human-trafficking tip line in October 2017. Staff at several hospitals in the Salt Lake City area would eventually report an “influx” of women from the Marshall Islands giving birth and putting their babies up for adoption, often accompanied by the same woman.

In Arizona, Peterson was indicted on 32 charges including theft, fraud and forgery. Prosecutors there say the scheme defrauded Arizona’s Medicaid system of $800,000 because the women had no intention of remaining in the state when they applied for benefits.

Here’s What Americans Think About Transgender Athletes in Girls’ Sports (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most Americans believe that biologically male athletes who identify as transgender women have competitive advantages over female athletes, according to newly released polling data.

A Morning Consult survey released Tuesday shows that majorities of self-identified Republicans, Democrats and independents all say that male athletes who identify as transgender women “have a competitive advantage” over female athletes.

Overall, 57% of American adults said that the biologically male athletes have an advantage, while just 20% disagreed. Another 23% gave no opinion. The majority view is backed up by scientific research, but clashes with elected Democrats’ positioning on the issue.

House Democrats unanimously supported the Equality Act, which, if signed into law, would force schools to include male athletes who identify as transgender girls on female sports teams. Multiple House Democrats denied on the record that the biologically male athletes would have unfair advantages. . .

Former U.S. Olympic athlete Rebecca Dussault warned in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation published last month that allowing biologically male athletes to compete in female athletics will be detrimental for girls’ and women’s sports.

Ilhan Omar Files for Divorce, Blames the Media

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday’s radio program, Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere discussed the details of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) impending divorce from Ahmed Hirsi, the father of her three children, amid allegations that she has been having an affair with D.C.-based political consultant Tim Mynett.

The Minnesota Rep. filed for divorce on Friday, her 37th birthday, in Minnesota, claiming “an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship.”

Omar and Hirsi first married in “faith tradition” (not legally) in 2002. The two separated in 2008, shortly before Omar legally married Ahmed Elmi, the man alleged to be her brother. In 2017, Omar legally divorced Elmi, and then remarried Hirsi in 2018, this time legally.

In August 2019, the New York Post reported that a D.C.-based doctor, Beth Mynett, filed for divorce from her husband, Tim Mynett, after he admitted to having an affair with Omar. Soon after, Hirsi reportedly demanded a divorce as well. (Read more from “Ilhan Omar Files for Divorce, Blames the Media” HERE)
