Airline Agent Caught on Video Losing It With Cop Passenger, Wife

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. An American Airlines customer service agent recently was caught on video in an argument with a police officer passenger and his wife over missing luggage, saying the officer “might kill me.”

The officer’s wife, Theresia Tirado, told WREG-TV the employee also said, “You’re a cop. That means you’re a killer.” . . .

Tirado told Blue Lives Matter that she, her husband Michael — a New Jersey correctional officer — and their two kids were traveling to Florida when bad weather led to the cancellation of their Philadelphia to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, flight.

So the family was rerouted through Memphis, Tennessee, to Miami, she told the outlet, and when they arrived in Memphis after midnight, they faced a four-hour-plus layover before their next flight.

The American Airlines gate agent suggested they make sure all their luggage made it on their new flight, Blue Lives Matter said. Sure enough, one bag was missing — and so they went to speak to an American Airlines customer service agent in the baggage claim office, the outlet said.

Couple Says American Airlines Employee Called Cop ‘a Killer’

By News Channel 3. The family consists of Theresia Tirado, her husband, and their two sons. She says one of their bags didn’t make it to the airport. So they went to customer service and asked an attendant where it was. She claims he wasn’t helpful. . .

She says the attendant got angry and, for some reason, started ranting about how his children are doctors and lawyers. That’s when Tirado’s husband told him he was a police officer.

“And he said, ‘You’re a cop. That means you’re a killer.” . . .

Her husband started recording after that. In the video, you hear the attendant say, “He might kill me.” . . .

“He might kill me because he’s a police officer who called me useless,” the attendant says back. (Read more from “Couple Says American Airlines Employee Called Cop ‘a Killer'” HERE)

Merriam-Webster Adds Three New Transgender Terms to Dictionary

/1 Comment/in , /by

By The Blaze. Merriam-Webster announced recently that it added hundreds of words to its dictionary, including three transgender terms.

Gender nonconforming, top surgery, and bottom surgery were among the 640 words that made it into the April update.

The more than 190-year-old company said that the revision “mirrors the culture’s need to make sense of the world with words.”

“It all begins, in each case, with evidence of words in use. Each word follows its own path at its own pace before its use is widespread enough to be included in a dictionary,” the company explained on its website.

We Added New Words to the Dictionary in April 2019

By Merriam-Webster. The English language never sleeps, and neither does the dictionary. The work of revising a dictionary is constant, and it mirrors the culture’s need to make sense of the world with words. There are always new things to be named and new uses for existing words to be explained. A release of new words is also a map of the workings of a dictionary—you get to see what we’ve been up to—and of how words from different contexts come to reside in the same place. . .

[Some of the newly added words:]

Gender nonconforming: exhibiting behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits that do not correspond with the traits typically associated with one’s sex.

Top surgery: a type of gender confirmation surgery in which a person’s breasts are removed or augmented to match their gender identity.

Bottom surgery: a type of gender confirmation surgery in which a person’s genitalia are altered to match their gender identity.

HILARIOUS: Talk Show Host Mocks Biden’s Botched Campaign Slogan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Late-night host Stephen Colbert jabbed former Vice President Joe Biden Tuesday night for botching an opportunity to best President Trump’s MAGA campaign slogan.

Appearing on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, anchor Robin Roberts asked Biden how he plans to compete with President Trump’s iconic “Make America Great Again” slogan that catapulted him to success in 2016. “The president has a motto: ‘Make America Great Again.’ Do you have one?” Robin Roberts asked Biden.

The vice president did not exactly give a catchy answer and threw out a litany of potential campaign slogans that would not really work as an acronym like MAGA. “Make America Moral Again,” he told Robin Roberts. “Make America return to the essence of who we are, the dignity of the country, the dignity of people and treating our people with dignity and this God-awful deliberate division that’s being taken in order to separate people to aggrandize his own power.”

After playing a clip of Biden’s jumbled reply, Colbert quipped, “Move over, MAGA,” and then attempted to create an acronym out of his answer.

“MAGA’s over because Biden’s coming at you with: MAMAMARTTEOWWATDOTC…” Colbert continued, in a moment noted by Fox News. “A little awkward to say, I’ll admit, but it’s going to look fantastic on his hat.” (Read more from “Talk Show Host Mocks Biden’s Botched Campaign Slogan” HERE)

However, a pair of Olympic medalists — who happen to be biological females — decried Gregory’s world record-setting efforts.

First up was former swimmer Sharron Davies who won a silver medal for Great Britain in the 1980 Summer Olympics. Davies — who’s been outspoken against transgender females competing against biological females — tweeted that Gregory has a “male body with male physiology” and that a “woman with female biology cannot compete. It’s a pointless unfair playing field.”

8-Year-Old ‘Hero’ Pulls Sister from Moving Car to Avert Kidnapping

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Ohio police have dubbed an eight-year-old boy a “hero” for pulling his big sister from a moving car as it was being stolen.

The children’s grandmother, 69-year-old Nita Coburn, had taken them with her to the Atrium Medical Center on Thursday afternoon. As she exited the vehicle to help a friend enter the hospital, 24-year-old Dalvir Singh allegedly entered the vehicle and attempted to drive away with the children.

That is when, authorities say, the little boy leapt into action. “The little boy opened the door to escape and the little girl started to jump out also but the man grabbed the hoodie of the little girl not allowing her to leave,” police wrote in a Facebook post on Friday. “As she tried to get away, her little brother grabbed hold of her and pulled her away from the kidnapper and they both tumbled out of the vehicle as it was moving.” . . .

At first, their grandmother was unaware that the children had escaped the vehicle. She grabbed onto the door and was dragged by it until it accelerated and she could no longer hold on. Officers stopped it soon after. (Read more from “8-Year-Old ‘Hero’ Pulls Sister From Moving Car to Avert Kidnapping” HERE)

Bus Driver Who Raped 14-Year-Old Girl Escapes Jail Time

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last Thursday, a 26-year-old New York State man who admitted to raping a 14-year-old girl he met while driving her school bus escaped jail time time during his sentencing hearing.

Shane Piche, who pleaded guilty to third-degree rape in February, was sentenced to 10 years’ probation by Judge James P. McClusky and will now have to register as a Level 1 sex offender, reported The Watertown Daily Times. “A Level 1 sex offender is considered to be at low risk of committing the crime again and is not included in online sex offender databases,” noted the outlet.

According to WWNYTV 7 News, the victim’s mother wrote in an impact statement: “I wish Shane Piche would have received time in jail for the harm he caused to my child. He took something from my daughter she will never get back and has caused her to struggle with depression and anxiety.”

The news station reported in February that the victim’s mother also said, “Piche bought her daughter gifts and invited her and other minors to his home where he gave them alcohol and then allegedly raped the young teenager.”

In New York state, sexual intercourse with a minor under the age of 17 by someone over the age of 21 is considered a Class E felony, according to NYSenate.gov, and is punishable by up to four years behind bars. (Read more from “Bus Driver Who Raped 14-Year-Old Girl Escapes Jail Time” HERE)

Boy’s Shocking Statement to Doctor Months Before Beating Death Revealed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Months before his body was found buried in a shallow grave, a 5-year-old Illinois boy had disclosed information about possible abuse to a doctor — but his alarming words weren’t enough to place him in protective custody, records showed.

Andrew “AJ” Freund, who was found dead on Wednesday a few miles from his house in Woodstock, was at the doctor’s office with a large bruise on his right hip on Dec. 18, 2018, the Chicago Tribune reported. Freund and his mother said the family dog jumped on the boy, causing the injury, but the doctor was still suspicious.

“Maybe someone hit me with a belt. Maybe Mommy didn’t mean to hurt me,” Freund then told the doctor, according to records released Friday.

Department of Children and Family Services, which was investigating the Dec. 18, 2018, complaint, said the doctor could not determine how the boy got the large bruise. The case was eventually closed a month later because there wasn’t enough evidence to keep Freund in protective custody after his mother, JoAnn Cunningham, was arrested for driving on a suspended license.

Freund’s body was found about 7 miles from his home on Wednesday after authorities launched a search for the 5-year-old when his father, Andrew Freund Sr., called 911 to report his son was missing on April 18.

Lawmaker’s Harrowing Testimony: I Saw Born-Alive Babies Drowned in Saline After Botched Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Testifying in support for a bill (Bill 359) seeking to protect babies born alive from botched abortions in North Carolina, Republican state representative Pat McElraft recalled horrifying experiences that she witnessed at the hands of a late-term abortionist when she previously worked in the medical field.

After passing the state House and Senate, the bill was eventually vetoed by Governor Roy Cooper (D-NC). But McElraft’s harrowing testimony offers a chilling inside looks at late-term abortion, which is increasingly being relentlessly pushed by the Democratic Party.

“You will hear from opponents of Bill 359 that there is no need for this bill. ‘We don’t have is happening in North Carolina.’ I can testify to the fact that infanticide has happened in North Carolina. I’ve been witness to the results of those late-term abortions,” stated the lawmaker, reported Live Action.

“There was an abortionist in Jacksonville, North Carolina, who was known nationally for performing late term abortions,” the Republican continued. “We heard of many girls who came from other states to North Carolina — Jacksonville, North Carolina, to have their late-term abortions. Even hitchhiking down from New York, some of them did, to come in — those were the days when saline abortions were performed.” . . .

“Nurses told of stories of the babies that were born alive and [had] been taken by the doctor and turned over with their faces down in the saline to drown,” she recalled. “Most of the nurses refused to work with this abortionist. He only did his abortions on the weekends.” (Read more from “Lawmaker’s Harrowing Testimony: I Saw Born-Alive Babies Drowned in Saline After Botched Abortions” HERE)

American Father Had to Make Nightmare Decision in Sri Lanka Bombing

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former New York investment banker Matthew Linsey, 61, has spoken out in grief about the painful split-second decision he was forced to make on Sunday after a suicide bomber tore through the breakfast buffet in the Shangri-La Hotel in Sri Lanka’s capital city, Colombo.

“My son looked worse than my daughter, I tried to revive him,” Linsey, who survived the attack with facial lacerations, told the Times of London. “People were screaming. I was with my children. I couldn’t tell whether they were all right, it was dark. I was worried there would be another blast.”

His children Amelie, 15, and Daniel, 19 – dual citizens of the U.S. and the U.K. – were both severely wounded by shrapnel in the blast. Amid the chaos, Linsey recalled how he had to leave his daughter behind in the wreckage, believing that she had a better chance of survival, as another survivor pledged she would take her to the hospital.

He carried his son’s lifeless body downstairs to a waiting ambulance, but doctor’s efforts to revive him failed and he later learned that Amelie also did not make it. (Read more from “American Father Had to Make Nightmare Decision in Sri Lanka Bombing” HERE)
