SEAL Team 6 Member Charged With Impersonating People to Get Nude Pics

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Navy SEAL Team 6 member who was named Sailor of the Year in 2016 has been charged with impersonating other people via text to get nude pictures of women, according to a report.

Petty Officer 1st Class Aaron Howard faces a general court-martial for the allegations, The Virginian-Pilot reported Friday, citing charge documents.

Howard’s civil defense attorney, Michael Waddington, told the paper that the Navy did not find the alleged photos on Howard’s phone. . .

On Wednesday, a Navy SEAL platoon from San Diego was ordered back to the U.S. from Iraq for the members’ refusal to cooperate with an investigation into alleged sexual assault and reports of drinking alcohol while deployed.

And earlier this month, a weekslong trial concluded for Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher, who had been charged with murder and attempted murder in the killing of a teenage ISIS member in Iraq. (A jury eventually found Gallagher not guilty.) (Read more from “SEAL Team 6 Member Charged With Impersonating People to Get Nude Pics” HERE)

Sign of the Times: Seattle Adults Pay Money to Pretend to Be Children for a Day

/0 Comments/in , /by

From the progressive city of Seattle comes an invitation for grown adults to regress back into childhood for a day at the park. On Saturday, August 3, Center Stage Event Marketing invites grown-ups to ditch their kids, forget their phones, and attend “Adult Recess” for a seven hour event where folks are welcome to act like they are a kid again. . .

The Seattle Times reports that portions of the event will benefit the Ronald McDonald House, but that the main purpose of the day is “to create an event that dropped attendees straight into their elementary-school playground — with the addition of beer. ”

Likewise, “The event will go beyond the physical activities surrounding recess. There will be ’80s and ’90s music, and food trucks with childhood favorites — peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, mac and cheese, and ice cream.” . . .

Far be it for me to judge how any grown adult spends his or her time. This is America and they can do whatever they want. But it is little concerning as a society that there are full-on camps for adults to pretend to be like children. Isn’t there a responsibility for adults to not act like children, let alone pay to pretend to be one, so that the next generation can have role models? Furthermore, isn’t this idea purely self-centered? Rather than take children, your own or other kids, to go and enjoy the wonders of life — grownups are paying to play make-believe that they can simply shirk adulthood? Wouldn’t it be better to experience “nostalgia” to teach boys and girls the games that you played growing up? Again, people can spend their money how they want to, but it sure seems like this is a defining mark of an unserious country filled with unserious people.

New ‘Suicide Pod’ Unveiled, Has a Detachable Coffin

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the near future, people may be able to step inside of an all-inclusive suicide pod that not only gets the deadly job done but also provides the very capsule in which people can be buried.

According to LifeNews, Australian euthanasia activist Dr. Philip Nitschke, a.k.a. “Dr Death,” recently unveiled his 3D printed suicide capsule that comes with a coffin.

“The death pod, also referred to as a ‘glorified gas chamber’ was first envisioned in 2012,” reports the outlet. “It contains canisters of liquid nitrogen which is released when activated by the person inside the capsule within the pod, causing oxygen levels to plummet to very low levels and starving the individual of the air he or she needs, causing their death. The capsule is then detached from the pod and serves as a coffin for the occupant.”

The capsule was unveiled at the “Disrupting Death” workshop in Queensland, Australia, and promised people that it will kill them with “style and euphoria,” with Nitschke claiming that people will experience an “elegant almost euphoric” death when using the pod.

“The idea of using a machine to have absolute control really has been a long-term interest of mine,” he told Exit International. “So, a person can, with minimal involvement, get into the machine and press a button for a very peaceful, elegant almost-euphoric death.” (Read more from “New ‘Suicide Pod’ Unveiled, Has a Detachable Coffin” HERE)

Politifact’s ‘Fact Check’ on AOC Crying in Front of ‘Empty Parking Lot’ Is Utterly Hilarious

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Politifact is at it again! The left-wing fact-checker purporting to be unbiased made a mockery of themselves (again) with their latest rating concerning socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Politifact, creating their best damage control for the freshman congresswoman, rated the claim that Ocasio-Cortez cried in front of an empty parking lot for a photo-op as “false” because it was, in fact, a “road” with some parked cars, not a parking lot, that the elected Democrat cried in front of. . .

The Internet was not on the same page, and it got worse from there for the 29-year-old. When more photos came to light, it appeared she was crying in front of an empty driveway area where cars were parked. There were no migrants in AOC’s view, it appeared. As one might imagine, the mockery of AOC then hit fever pitch. . .

But thank goodness for the likes of nonpartisan fact-checkers like Politifact to set us all straight.

“No, this isn’t a photo of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez crying over a parking lot,” reported Politifact.

“Photographers at the scene who took photos of Ocasio-Cortez say she was not facing a parking lot,” the fact-checker’s “ruling” said. “Rather she was just beyond the toll plaza for the Tornillo facility, and she standing on a road that led to the Tornillo tent complex, which was in the line of her gaze, as she stood at the fence. Pictures by other outlets also confirm the location.” (Read more from “Politifact’s ‘Fact Check’ on AOC Crying in Front of ‘Empty Parking Lot’ Is Utterly Hilarious” HERE)

Transgender Activist Pushes for LGBTQ ‘Topless’ Swim Parties for Children at Town Pools. Oh, and Parents Can’t Attend.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Transgender activist Jessica Yaniv — a biological male who identifies as a female — is pushing for LGBTQ “topless” swim parties for children as young as 12 at pools run by a Canadian town. And one of the stipulations is that parents and guardians are barred from attending. . .

Yaniv petitioned the Township of Langley in British Columbia to allow the “topless” LGBTQ swim parties at three municipal pools. . .

The paperwork indicates the “All-Bodies Swim” is for “people aged 12+” and “restricted to LGBTQ2S.” In addition, the document adds that “individuals will be permitted to be topless (at their leisure)” — which, as you can guess, likely isn’t as much of an issue for males as it would be for females.

The document also says “parents and caretakers will be prohibited from attending these events as it’s considered safe and inclusive.” . . .

While Yaniv’s delegation wanted to appear before the township council Monday night to get permission to hold the “All-Bodies Swim” events, TheBlaze on Tuesday confirmed with a council member that the matter was postponed until September.

White House Proposes Massive Rule Change to Food Stamps

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration on Tuesday released a proposed rule change that would significantly impact more than 3 million food stamp recipients. Under the new rule, states would no longer be allowed to automatically enroll people into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program if they’re already receiving benefits from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. . .

“We are changing the rules, preventing abuse of a critical safety net system, so those who need food assistance the most are the only ones who receive it,” Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue told TIME Magazine.

Perdue used the recent example of a millionaire in Minnesota who successfully signed up for food stamps, despite clearly not needing the financial help, CNN reported.

“Unfortunately, automatic eligibility has expanded to allow even millionaires and others who simply receive a TANF-funded brochure to become eligible for SNAP when they clearly don’t need it,” said Brandon Lipps, a USDA acting deputy undersecretary. . .

The Congressional Budget Office said the proposed rule change could save taxpayers $8.1 billion between 2019 to 2028. The USDA, however, believes taxpayers would save $2.5 billion per year. (Read more from “White House Proposes Massive Rule Change to Food Stamps” HERE)

Miss World America Strips Titleholder for ‘Supporting’ Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Twenty-year-old conservative activist and prominent Trump supporter Kathy Zhu was reportedly stripped of her Miss Michigan crown from the Miss World America Organization over past “insensitive” social media posts and her refusal to try on a hijab at a college event in 2018.

Zhu is a Chinese immigrant who moved to the United States at age five; she became popular in conservative circles for both her support for Donald Trump during the 2016 election and for fighting off students attempting to get her expelled from the University of Central Florida for refusing to try on a hijab — an event that allegedly helped get the conservative stripped of her beauty pageant accomplishments. . .

However, the student was soon informed by the organization via email that she would have to turn in her sash and crown and disassociate with the group over past “offensive, insensitive, and inappropriate” social media posts. . .

Zhu also responded via email to the organization over her ouster, pushing back on Miss World America’s apparent opposition to the conservative’s refusal to wear a hijab. “[W]hat is ‘insensitive’ is that women in the Middle East are getting STONED TO DEATH for refusing to obey their husband’s orders to wear hijabs,” she wrote. “A Muslim woman tried to FORCIBLY put a hijab on my head without my permission. I tweeted about it on my social media, and it got the attention of the media. Almost everyone was supportive of me refusing to be put in that situation.”

On Friday morning, Zhu thanked her supporters and announced that she will not be taking legal action against the organization because they have “suffered enough negative publicity.”

Couple Arrested for Allegedly Strangling Newborn Child to Death

/0 Comments/in , /by

A couple in Oxnard, California, was arrested Friday after allegedly strangling the woman’s newborn baby boy to death.

Reports state that police responded to a call about an injury at St. John’s Medical Center at 7:53 a.m. Friday. The officers were reportedly told that the baby had “suspicious injuries” and was in serious condition. . .

St. John’s Medical Center released a statement on Saturday reminding residents of California’s Safe Surrender Law. . .

While we deal with tragedies every day, the staff at St. John’s Regional Medical Center are devastated by the alleged incident. In the midst of this investigation, it is timely to remind our community of California’s Safe Surrender Law wherein: Newborn infants can be dropped off at any safe surrender site such as hospitals, fire stations and police stations, within 72 hours of birth, with no questions asked.

Both suspects were arrested for felony assault on a child by means of force resulting in the child’s death and are scheduled to appear in court Tuesday afternoon. Records from the Ventura County Sheriff state that the couple’s bail has been set at $5 million. (Read more from “Couple Arrested for Allegedly Strangling Newborn Child to Death” HERE)

Woman Forced to Close Business After Refusing to Wax Male Genitals of Transgender Person

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Brazilian immigrant living in Canada was forced to close up her small business after refusing to wax the male genitals of transgender LGBT activist Jessica Yaniv, formerly known as Jonathan Yaniv.

Citing discrimination based on gender identity, Yaniv filed a complaint with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal seeking financial restitution. The activist has filed complaints against 15 other estheticians with the tribunal, claiming “gender identity” discrimination, as well, The Daily Wire reported last year. It was not until Wednesday, however, that Yaniv’s identity was allowed to be disclosed.

According to The Post Millennial, Marcia Da Silva claims that she refused to service the complainant “due to safety concerns raised by her husband and alleged harassment on Yaniv’s part and not because of the claimant’s identity.” . . .

“Some of my clients have been very significantly affected on a personal level. [Another client also] closed her business, she has been depressed, anxious, sleepless and that has gone on for a period of many many months,” said Jay Cameron, a lawyer from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms representing Da Silva.

“It is a very serious thing to launch a human rights complaint against a person. My clients are people,” said Cameron. “They have a right to make a living and this has interfered with their livelihood, but also you have the stigma of being associated with this hanging over you.” (Read more from “Woman Forced to Close Business After Refusing to Wax Male Genitals of Transgender Person” HERE)

Drag Queen Reads ‘What Color Is Your Underwear?’ to Young Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

A “Drag Queen Story Hour” event at a Dallas, Texas, library last Saturday featured two drag queens, one of whom read the story What Color Is Your Underwear? to small children.

More than 50 parents brought their children to the story hour held at the Grauwyler Park Branch Library and hosted by drag queens “Cassie Nova” (aka James Gary Love) and “Jenna Skyy” (aka Joel S. Hoselton). . .

A video of the event can be viewed at the website of pro-family organization Mass Resistance, which protested the story hour.

According to Mass Resistance, library staff set up an activity table with drag queen coloring pages so the children could color in the “queens.”

When a Mass Resistance activist asked a librarian who selected the books to be read to the children, the librarian reportedly responded that the Drag Queen Story Hour event is simply a form of “entertainment.” She added the library had conducted background checks on the drag queens
