Mom Charged with Unborn Baby’s Death After Woman Shoots Her in Stomach out of Self-Defense

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Wednesday, an Alabama woman who was shot in the stomach last year was indicted in the death of her unborn baby girl.

During a dispute regarding the baby’s paternity in December 2018, the mother, identified as Marshae Jones, was shot in the stomach by another female out of what police said was self-defense; the baby, who was at about five months’ gestation, died from the gunshot wound.

Jones, 27, was indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury on a manslaughter charge and taken into police custody, AL.com reported. The woman who shot Jones, 23-year-old Ebony Jemison, had a manslaughter charge against her dismissed after a grand jury failed to indict her in the death of the baby girl, the outlet noted.

The dispute between Jones and Jemison occurred outside a Dollar General. Police were called to the location after Jones was shot by Jemison, but when they arrived, the mother was gone. Jones was later found at a convenience store and taken to a nearby hospital, where the baby was pronounced dead.

“The investigation showed that the only true victim in this was the unborn baby,’’ said Pleasant Grove police lieutenant Danny Reid after the shooting, according to AL.com. “It was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fight which resulted in the death of her own unborn baby.” (Read more from “Mom Charged with Unborn Baby’s Death After Woman Shoots Her in Stomach out of Self-Defense” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Georgia sheriff released dramatic body-cam video Tuesday showing the rescue of a newborn girl who was found alive inside a plastic bag in the woods. The little girl, nicknamed “Baby India,” was discovered on June 6 and has drawn national attention as officials are still attempting to locate her mother.

According to Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, Baby India was found on 10 p.m. tied in plastic bag on the side of Davos Creek Road. She was located only after a family in a nearby home heard her crying in a heavily forested area in Forsyth Count.

A video taken by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office was made public on Wednesday showing her discovery. Officials are hoping it will generate tops in locating the girl’s parents or finding out why she was abandoned.

The video shows deputies tearing open the plastic bag containing the child as she cries. Then, they wrap her in a blanket to keep her warm. Hospital workers decided to call the girl Baby India, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. (Read more from “Dramatic Video Shows Rescue of Newborn Girl from Plastic Bag” HERE)

Rainbow Pride Flag Replaces POW/MIA Flag at Veterans Memorial Plaza — and Public Outcry Is Ignited

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. Veteran John “Bill” Williams recalled to WRC-TV that he was in Vietnam just six days before two fellow service members were shot down, declared missing in action, “and they still haven’t found their bodies.”

Such losses are why the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza in Rockville, Maryland, means so much to Williams.

And it’s also why he was upset that the plaza’s POW/MIA flag was replaced with an LGBTQ rainbow flag for pride month, the station said. . .

It was the first time a rainbow pride flag flew at the Veterans Memorial Plaza, which is outside the Montgomery County executive office building, WRC said.

Montgomery County Council member Evan Glass, the council’s first LGBTQ member, helped celebrate the raising of the pride flag last week, the station added. (Read more from “Rainbow Pride Flag Replaces POW/Mia Flag at Veterans Memorial Plaza — and Public Outcry Is Ignited” HERE)

Pride Flag Replaces POW/Mia Flag at Montgomery County Executive Building

By NBC Washington. . .The POW/MIA flag was replaced by the LGBTQ pride flag for the month of June, pride month.

“I wasn’t happy about it at all because the park is supposed to be a veterans park,” Williams said. “People died. Now they took it down and put another flag up.”

“The flag post was only able to accommodate one flag, and when we learned of that, we are quickly, the county government, is quickly changing it,” Glass said. “So we’re adding more ringlets so that by tomorrow morning both flags will be raised.”

“If they want to put the other flag underneath, they could put it underneath, but the POW flag should be flying there,” Williams said.

The POW/MIA flag was put up again after the public outcry on Tuesday, and both flags are now back up, County Executive Mark Elrich said. (Read more from “Pride Flag Replaces POW/Mia Flag at Montgomery County Executive Building” HERE)

Grand Jury Refuses to Indict Woman Charged with Assaulting Pro-Life 82-Year-Old

/0 Comments/in , /by

A grand jury refused to indict a woman charged with assaulting an 82-year-old pro-life activist outside Kentucky’s only remaining abortion clinic, the Courier Journal reported.

Janaya Alyce Gregory, 32, was charged with second-degree felony assault after surveillance video showed her approaching Donna Durning outside EMW Women’s Surgical Center April 12 and allegedly pushing her to the sidewalk. Durning was hospitalized with a broken leg that required surgery and rehabilitation. . .

During, a longtime anti-abortion activist, told the Courier Journal in a separate article she was at the clinic on the day of the incident as a part of the local “40 Days for Life” campaign involving her church. . .

The woman initially ignored Durning but then “turned back around and charged at the victim, bumping [the] victim with her body and causing [the] victim to fall backward,” the Courier Journal reported, citing the criminal complaint.

Surveillance video shows the woman walking toward a waiting car as Durning approached her on the sidewalk. After the woman reached the car, she turned around, walked toward Durning, and appears to make contact with the victim.

U.S. University Is Paying Pregnant Women to Do Drugs

/0 Comments/in , /by

The University of Washington is recruiting pot-smoking pregnant women to participate in a study conducted by its Radiology Department, and is paying the expectant mothers to continue to smoke weed throughout their pregnancies so researchers can track the drug’s impact on babies. . .

According to the university’s website, researchers are looking for women who are less than 13 weeks pregnant, “and must either consume marijuana frequently or not at all.” If accepted, test subjects will be paid $300 to complete the program, which entails three drug tests during pregnancy and an assessment of their baby’s development at six months of age.

The project study explains that researchers “will recruit 35 pregnant women who are using cannabis to alleviate morning sickness and 35 pregnant women who are using prescribed medication for morning sickness.” . . .

KOMO-TV reported that “throughout their pregnancies, test group subjects will have to report weekly pot use, purchase marijuana only from licensed sellers, and send photos of the product’s packaging for researchers to record percentages of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), pot’s active ingredient and cannabidiol (CBD), a non-active compound whose potential therapeutic properties are the focus of the current investigation.”

Moms + Marijuana project leader Dr. Natalia Kleinhans said in a press release, “This study is targeting a very specific population of women who are using marijuana to manage their symptoms while they’re pregnant. There’s little research to back up the medical and public health advice they’re getting to stay away from pot to control nausea.” (Read more from “U.S. University Is Paying Pregnant Women to Do Drugs” HERE)

Police Threaten Concerned Moms at Drag Queen Event with Chest-Binding Raffle for Preteens

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Saturday, a library in the Seattle area hosted a “Teen Pride” event for children ages 9-19. The event featured drag queens, all sorts of explicit adult-themed advice, and a raffle for dangerous transgender chest binders. Three local moms, concerned about children being exposed to such things at a taxpayer-funded library, filmed the event in order to expose it. Police escorted the mothers out by force, warning that they were guilty of “criminal trespass.”

The “Teen Pride” event was billed as “a pride celebration designed by teens for teens!” According to the library website, it was suitable for “teens and tweens,” an age range of roughly 9 to 19 years.

“Obviously, we have some really big concerns,” local mom Lynn Meagher told PJ Media. “There wasn’t any restriction on any ages. It was just horrifying to us that they would use the library, the taxpayer public building, to fund this indoctrination of kids. So we are intending to go on the record and expose what they’re doing because we don’t think that anyone should be doing this in a public arena with children.” . . .

“We didn’t talk to any of the kids, we didn’t harass anybody. We were polite,” Meagher said. “I saw kids that looked like they were ten,” and those kids asked confused questions about the explicit materials around them.

Meagher was most horrified by the chest binder raffle. The “Teen Pride” event raffled off eight chest binders to young girls. Girls who identify as masculine use the binders to flatten their chests to appear male. The binders may cause serious harm, such as lung damage, The Christian Post reported. One study reported in The New York Times found that “97.2 percent of the group that bound reported at least one negative physical symptom, such as back pain, overheating, chest pain and shortness of breath. Other symptoms included numbness, bad posture and lightheadedness.”

New York Parents with Unvaccinated Children Threatened with CPS Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new law in Albany, New York, requiring all school children, public and private, to be vaccinated by July in order to continue their education is causing confusion and panic. Parents in the Deer Park area have received a letter from Assistant Superintendent James Cummings explaining that “In the event that you do not follow this mandate we will be reaching out to Child Protective Services to alert them of your non-compliance.”

PJ Media reached out to Cummings and confirmed that this is the letter he sent out on June 18. Cummings responded by email and contradicted his letter, saying, “The district will not be contacting CPS in these cases, but must uphold the new mandate of requiring vaccines to enroll or remain enrolled in the school.” He chose not to explain why this letter says the opposite but did say a new one is going out today or tomorrow. Cummings declined to give PJ Media a copy of the new letter or expand on why the threat was included in the original.

Parents across New York who do not vaccinate for religious reasons and were using the religious exemption to place children in schools are receiving letters daily from educational institutions informing them they must comply or get out. Some parents have also received letters from summer camps disinviting their children, though the bill does not specify summer camps as included in the mandates, although the Department of Health issued a letter to summer camps demanding that they comply with the bill that targets schools. Further, parents with disabled children are being told their students will lose their IEP services if they homeschool. One parent reported on social media, “Our school district, Hilton, told me over the phone that anyone who isn’t up-to-date on vaccinations, or doesn’t comply with the CDC catch up schedule (even if their doctor recommends a different schedule), will not receive IEP services by law, not even homeschoolers.” This appears to contradict state law regarding children with disabilities.

YIKES: CNN Interview with Trump Rape Accuser Goes off the Rails

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday morning, CNN’s “New Day” anchor Alisyn Camerota interviewed Elle magazine advice columnist E. Jean Carroll —and it was a doozy.

Carroll, who claims in her new book that President Donald Trump attempted to sexually assault her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room more than two decades ago, changed her rationale for not pressing charges against Trump and stumbled over answers in a disaster interview with CNN’s Alisyn Camerota Monday.

President Trump has vehemently denied the accusations, claims he doesn’t know Carroll, and has publicly thanked Bergdorf Goodman for “confirming they have no video footage of any such incident.”

In the first part of the interview, Carroll detailed the alleged rape, telling Camerota, “When we walked into the lingerie department there was nobody there, which is strange. It was in the evening, so — and on the counter were three really fancy boxes and a see-through bodysuit. He walked right to the bodysuit and snatched it up and said, ‘Go put this on.’ Now, that struck me as so funny because here I am, a 52 — I am not going to put — my idea was — I said, ‘No, you put it on.’ And he said, ‘No, it looks like it fits you.’ I said, ‘No, it goes with your eyes.’ So I am spinning a comedy scene in my head.” . . .

When asked if she would press charges against Trump, since she apparently still has the dress she wore during the alleged attack, Carroll claimed she would not because the statute of limitations has since run on the incident.

Student Who Told Teacher There Are Only ‘Two Genders’ Now Facing HARSH Punishment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. A Scottish teen who was reprimanded by his teacher in a viral video for claiming there are only “two genders” has been suspended from school. . .

A video surfaced earlier this month showing an unknown Scottish student debate with his school teacher about gender. The debate ensued after the teacher kicked the student from class for saying there are only “two genders.” . . .

The 17-year-old Aberdeenshire student on the receiving end of the teacher’s anger is now speaking out after he was suspended from school for three weeks, according to the Daily Mail. . .

“He decided to film the teacher because he wanted to show what was going on in schools today for simply stating there are only two genders,” one friend said. “He believes telling kids that boys are girls and girls are boys is a very dangerous thing and wanted to get his views across to the teacher.”

“His view is that scientifically there are only two genders. This new gender theory that there are unlimited genders is something that should be discussed and debated – not just thrown into a class discussion and if you disagree you get kicked out of the room,” the friend explained.

Teenager, 17, Suspended from School for Insisting There Are ‘Only Two Genders’ Reveals He Spoke out in Protest at ‘Dangerous Views Being Forced on Pupils’

By The Daily Mail. . .He was thrown out of class after arguing that only two genders exist – male and female – a position which his teacher claimed was ‘not inclusive’.

The schoolboy has now been told he will be suspended for three weeks following the clash during a personal and social education lesson at his secondary school in Aberdeenshire . . .

An Aberdeenshire Council spokesman said the public sector has a legal duty to show ‘due regard’ to certain ‘protected characteristics’ – including age, sex and ‘gender reassignment’.

He added: ‘It is important to understand the context of any video clip taken without a person’s consent. In our schools, fostering good relations among different groups can be a real challenge but our aim is to support a fairer, inclusive environment for all.’ . . .

Earlier this month, London-based Pearson Edexcel exam board was accused of bowing to demands from transgender activists after swapping the word ‘sex’ for ‘gender’ in a GCSE biology paper.

Popular Knitting Site Bans All Trump Supporters: ‘Undeniably Support for White Supremacy’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ravelry, a company that describes itself as a community of knitters and crocheters, announced Sunday that its website is erasing President Trump — banning any and all expressions of support for the duly elected president of the United States.

Not being a crafter myself, I had never heard of Ravelry—a site that boasts 8 million users. The announcement was brought to my attention by a reader who uses the site. “Not even crafting is safe,” she lamented in an email to PJM. . .

According to an announcement at Ravelry’s website, “We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry.” The company says the ban was inspired by a policy at role-playing site RPG.net. (Something similar happened at SQLite, the world’s largest database engine, after SJWs demanded a code of conduct. Founder Richard Hipp responded by posting “The Rule of St. Benedict,” sparking outrage.)

The ban includes “support in the form of forum posts, projects, patterns, profiles, and all other content.” The company assures users that if they get booted from the site for supporting Trump, “we will make sure that you have access to your data.” How good of them.

The reason for the ban, according to Ravelry, is that “We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy.” (Read more from “Popular Knitting Site Bans All Trump Supporters: ‘Undeniably Support for White Supremacy'” HERE)
