Drag Queen Story Time Cancelled

/0 Comments/in , /by

A drag queen story hour at the Houston library is being canceled, and organizers blame threats from “anti-LGBT” organizations for the decision.

There was, of course, that little issue of one of the “readers” at the story time having been convicted of molesting an 8-year-old, of course.

WND reported on the issue that developed at the Houston Public Library when officials admitted they deeply regretted not doing a background check that would have revealed the background of Alberto Garza, a 32-year-old drag queen who goes by the name Tatiana Mala Nina. . .

But now, “The organizers, Trent Lira and Devin Will, are pulling the plug and according to the Houston Chronicle, the pair wrote a letter to Houstonia magazine claiming that anti-LGBT groups had been threatening library employees and participants.”

The report continued, “Oh, and there was the thing about one of the readers having sexually assaulted an 8-year-old child. Now the library runs background checks on readers to keep out the registered sex offenders.” (Read more from “Drag Queen Story Time Cancelled” HERE)

Court to Concerned Dad: Let Your Kid Transition or You’re a Child Abuser

/0 Comments/in , /by

A father has appealed a recent court decision that blocked him from preventing his young child from transitioning to a male gender presentation.

Last month, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada, ruled that the 14-year-old, who identifies as transgender, can start hormone therapy. The father appealed the decision on March 4. . .

The court, which withheld the family members’ names, explained that the teenager, though biologically female, has lived as a boy since age 11. The child wanted to start testosterone hormone therapy last summer, and the mother and doctors agreed. However, the father opposed the treatment and took the matter to court. . .

According to legal experts, the ruling sets a precedent in family law that transitioning is a health decision to which children have a right. Parents must respect their kid’s chosen gender, pronouns, and name.

Doing otherwise – including misgendering a child or even trying to talk him or her out of transitioning – could get parents reported to authorities for emotional abuse, trans rights lawyer Adrienne Smith told The Star.

Disturbing Details Emerge on Bizarre Behavior From Beto O’Rourke

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. A new profile piece from The Washington Post on Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke documented multiple instances of highly disturbing behavior from the failed Senate candidate, including eating dirt and taking poop from his kid’s diaper and putting it into a bowl and telling his wife that it was an avocado.

The piece specifically focused on Beto’s marriage to his wife Amy, who indicated that she was not exactly thrilled to be in a marriage that was so heavily involved in politics.

Buried deep in the article was a paragraph that documented his “‘Psycho’-style scares in the shower,” and another bizarre incident from their marriage. The Post reports:

One time, according to a friend, Beto collected an especially verdant turd from one of their kids’ diapers and put it in a bowl, telling Amy it was avocado. (Neither would confirm this, though Beto did allow it sounded like something he’d do.)

. . .

These strange examples of behavior from Beto are just the most recent incidents to surface as a Reuter’s report from late last week also documented deranged thoughts from Beto’s past. (Read more from “Disturbing Details Emerge on Bizarre Behavior From Beto O’Rourke” HERE)

California Con Man Set up Bogus Websites for Bernie Sanders, Beto O’Rourke to Defraud Donors

By NBC News. A notorious California con man has been charged with defrauding donors out of more than $250,000 sent to sham political groups and websites for Beto O’Rourke, Bernie Sanders and other prominent Democrats, prosecutors said Tuesday.

John Pierre Dupont, 80, is accused of setting up at least three bogus political action committees, or PACs, and several websites that purported to be raising money for roughly 10 individual Senate candidates, a candidate for governor and for progressive causes, according to a criminal complaint.

Instead of passing along the cash to the candidates or campaigns, Dupont used it to pay his rent, a parking ticket, and to cover the costs of a $25,300 Mercedes-Benz sedan, according to prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York.

“As alleged, John Pierre Dupont operated multiple fake political action committees and falsely claimed to be raising money to support more than a dozen campaigns,” said U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman.

U.S. Governor Introduces Bill to Let Non-Doctors Commit Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

The ability to commit abortions should be expanded from actual doctors to physician assistants and some types of nurses, according to a proposal introduced Thursday by Maine Gov. Janet Mills.

“Every woman in Maine should be able to access reproductive health care when and where she needs it, regardless of her ZIP code,” Mills declared, according to a WMTW report. “Allowing advanced nurse practitioners and physician assistants to perform medication-administered abortions, which are already permitted in other states, will ensure Maine women, especially in rural areas of our state, can access reproductive health care services.”

Democrat state House Speaker Sarah Gideon, who is sponsoring the bill, agreed, claiming that women in rural parts of the state “have been disproportionately harmed, where the sheer logistics of arranging for travel, taking time off work and securing child care create an often insurmountable barrier to accessing the full range of family planning services.”

Mills pushed for a similar measure last year as state Attorney General, and pro-abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood and the ACLU have tried to force the state to allow nurse practitioners and licensed midwives to commit abortions since at least 2017.

Pro-Life Demonstrator Punched in the Face Outside Abortion Clinic

/0 Comments/in , /by

A pro-life activist in Massachusetts was punched in the face while he was demonstrating outside an abortion clinic on Thursday, according to police.

At around 9:30 a.m., officers were called to Women’s Health Services in Brookline after a male pro-life protester was physically assaulted by a female outside the clinic.

“Police were dispatched to Women’s Health Services on Harvard Street for a disturbance. A woman believed a man, who was standing out front of the address, was videotaping her. The two exchanged words, the woman struck the man in the face then left the area,” reports Brookline Police News. . .

“Patch.com described the alleged perpetrator as a young, female patient and the victim as a pro-life male protester,” highlighted LifeNews. “Several witnesses told Patch that they also saw the incident. Sonia Powell said she saw several men protesting outside the abortion facility Thursday, and one leaned forward to speak to the young woman when she walked out of the door. Powell said the young woman began yelling and then punched the man in the face.” . . .

In late September, Marie-Claire Bissonnette, a woman from the youth branch of Canada’s pro-life group Campaign Life Coalition, was kicked in the face by a Toronto-area male feminist identified as Jordan Hunt during a demonstration — which was captured on video.

Sex Offender Hosts ‘Drag Queen Storytime’ for Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Houston Public Library has issued an apology after a registered sex offender was allowed to entertain children during the library’s highly controversial program called “drag queen storytime.” . . .

The library announced last Friday that a review of its volunteers revealed Albert Alfonso Garza never submitted a background check before being allowed to entertain children during “drag queen storytime,” KTRK-TV reported.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Garza was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of an 8-year-old child in 2009. . .

“In our review of our process and of this participant, we discovered that we failed to complete a background check as required by our own guidelines. We deeply regret this oversight and the concern this may cause our customers. We realize this is a serious matter,” the library said in a statement, KTRK reported.

We are taking the appropriate action to ensure that the status of every participant in every program throughout our system is verified. We will continue to review our process to ensure that this cannot happen again,” the statement continued. (Read more from “Sex Offender Hosts ‘Drag Queen Storytime’ for Children” HERE)

All-Female Court Panel Overturns Rape Conviction Because Woman Is Too Ugly to Be Credible Victim

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three female judges in an appeals court in Italy overturned a 2015 rape conviction in part because the victim in question was deemed too ugly to have been raped. The alleged victim, then 20 years old, was not found to be a credible rape victim because she was too unattractive and “masculine,” according to the three female judges. The Daily Mail reports:

Two Peruvian men were initially convicted of the 2015 rape of a Peruvian woman in Ancona, but the Italian appeals court overturned the verdict and absolved them, finding that she was not a credible witness. In part of the ruling, the court noted that the suspects had found her unattractive and too “masculine” to be a credible rape victim.

The conviction was overturned by an all-female panel in 2017 despite medics reportedly claiming the woman’s injuries were consistent with rape. The details concerning the reasoning behind the overturned conviction only became public earlier this month, however, according to The Daily Mail. “The Court of Cassation said Wednesday its own reasons for ordering the retrial will be issued next month,” noted the outlet. . .

The lawyer said the judges who overturned the conviction claimed his client was not credible because the men she accused “didn’t find her attractive, she was too masculine.”

Molinaro also said that the female judges further supported their ruling by noting that one of the accused men “saved the woman’s number in his phone as ‘Viking,’ and stated that the ‘photograph present in her file would appear to confirm this,’” CNN reports.

Aunt Becky Booted From ‘Fuller House’ for College Bribery Scandal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Page Six reports that Netflix has removed Aunt Becky from “Fuller House,” the spin-off to the ’90s sitcom “Full House” that made stars of John Stamos and the Olsen twins. “The streaming service has booted actress Lori Loughlin from her role in ‘Fuller House’ in the wake of this week’s college admissions scandal,” reports the outlet. . .

Loughlin being dropped from the iconic show that catapulted her to success comes one day after the Hallmark channel announced she would no longer be a featured talent.

“We are saddened by the recent news surrounding the college admissions allegations,” Hallmark Channel’s parent-company Crown Media said in a statement to Fox News. “We are no longer working with Lori Loughlin and have stopped development of all productions that air on the Crown Media Family Network channels involving Lori Loughlin, including ‘Garage Sale Mysteries,’ an independent third-party production. We are evaluating all creative options related to ‘When Calls the Heart’ series.”

Loughlin was released from police custody on a $1 million bond this week after being charged for participating in a massive college bribery scheme the FBI code-named “Operation Varsity Blues.” She and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, have been accused of “agreeing to pay $500,000 in bribes to have their two daughters designated as recruits for the University of Southern California crew team,” according to a Fox News report on Thursday.

As a result of the charges, E News reports that a source says Loughlin and her husband’s life has become a “terrible nightmare,” with the family now living in seclusion. (Read more from “Aunt Becky Booted From ‘Fuller House’ for College Bribery Scandal” HERE)

Twice-Deported Illegal Alien Charged With Raping 12-Year-Old Girl

/0 Comments/in , /by

A twice deported illegal alien was charged with child rape this week by Alabama authorities, according to WHNT News 12.

The arrest occurred in Marshall County, AL after David Ramirez Gonzalez, 29, was found hiding in his closet on Monday night following a 911 phone call reporting a 12-year-old female had been sexually assaulted. Gonzalez was “charged with first-degree rape, first-degree sexual abuse, and resisting arrest.”

The illegal alien has been previously deported from the United States in 2008 and 2009. It is unclear when Gonzalez re-entered the country a third time, but police reports state that “Gonzalez has been known to use several aliases including a Facebook page under the name ‘Noel Ramirez.'” Authorities say Gonzalez has used more than 10 different names to hide his presence in the United States. . .

According to reports, Gonzalez has no known drug trafficking affiliation but AG Marshall told the president that most problems with illegal immigrants in Alabama stem from the black market for narcotics. “Just in the past year in Alabama, we have had multiple incidents of violent crime—including crimes against children—committed by illegal immigrants who were here because of their roles in various drug-trafficking organizations. Even after being deported, sometimes multiple times, these criminals return to the drug trade and commit crimes against innocent Alabamians. It is reprehensible that we let this happen in America,” AG Marshall told media. (Read more from “Twice-Deported Illegal Alien Charged With Raping 12-Year-Old Girl” HERE)

Gay Presidential Candidate Claims He’s a Christian but Attacks Pence’s Faith

/0 Comments/in , /by

Peter Buttigieg, a homosexual Episcopalian, said he is “consistent with Christian teachings” but questioned Vice President Mike Pence’s Christian faith.

In a Q&A session at The South by Southwest Conference last weekend, asked why his recent book did not dwell on religion, Buttigieg answered, “First of all, I try to live a life that is consistent with Christian teachings. I know that it is my responsibility not to ever do anything that would in public life, not be equally beneficial or make as much sense to people of another faith or people of no faith.”

The 36-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and a former naval officer said, “But in my life, I believe in that Christian ethic, the idea that was drilled into me in Catholic school even though I’m not Catholic, I’m Episcopalian.” Vice President Pence is a former governor of Indiana and a vocal Christian. Buttigieg is the author of “The Shortest Way Home.” . . .

Regarding the place of his ostensible Christian faith in his life, the Harvard graduate said, “That idea of the invitation of Christ, this sense that when God himself comes to earth, he is rejected in many ways largely because he tells the truth. He concerns himself with what’s going on with those who are marginalized. He understands his role on earth not to be glorified but to serve.” . . .

Buttigieg questioned how Pence can support the “porn star presidency” of Donald Trump. “I thought, well, at least he believes in our institutions, and he’s not personally corrupt. But then, how could he get on board with this presidency? How could somebody who — you know, his interpretation of Scripture is pretty different from mine, to begin with.” He went on to say, “But even if you buy into that, how could he allow himself to become the cheerleader of the porn star presidency?” (Read more from “Gay Presidential Candidate Claims He’s a Christian but Attacks Pence’s Faith” HERE)
