Young Mother Who Killed Her Rapist, Dragged Body Through Street Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. An Australian woman who stabbed her rapist to death after he threatened her daughter and demanded more sex has been sentenced to 10-plus years behind bars.

In December of 2015, Roxanne Peters, then 32 years old, stabbed 52-year-old Grant Cassar dozens of times all over his body, including his penis, until his lifeless body was lying on her kitchen floor.

Cassar reportedly tied up and raped Peters days before the incident. He came back into her home looking to do a “meth cook-up” and demanded she have more sex with him. When Peters refused, Cassar threatened her daughter, said prosecutor David Nardone . . .

After friends refused to help her dispose of the body lying dead on her kitchen floor, Peters decided to drop Cassar’s copse into a ditch past a local police station. She tied up the dead body to the back of her vehicle and dragged him through the streets for over a mile before dumping him.

Cassar’s body — found with 61 injuries — was recovered by authorities the following day. Deep stab wounds were found across his chest, and his penis was also said to have been stabbed.

Woman Sentenced to 9 Years in Prison for Killing Rapist

By New York Post. A mom who stabbed her rapist to death, then tied a rope around his neck and dragged him behind her car for a mile has been jailed for nine years. . .

A judge said she was “enraged” at Cassar’s previous rape and sick threats, but that did not excuse her lack of respect for his “human dignity.”

Peters was sentenced to nine years for manslaughter plus another 18 months after she pleaded guilty to interfering with a corpse.

With time already served, she will be eligible for parole in June 2020. (Read more from “Woman Sentenced to 9 Years in Prison for Killing Rapist” HERE)

Diocese Splits Over Gay Clergy, Battles Episcopal Denomination for Church

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California church is battling to keep property from the Episcopal Church after leaving the denomination over its acceptance of gay clergy.

The Episcopal Church filed a lawsuit against St. Columba Church, alleging that St. Columba’s administration illegally took ownership of its church building after splitting with the denomination in 2008 and joining the Anglican Church of America.

St. Columba argues, however, that the former bishop of the Diocese of San Joaquin, John-David Schofield, transferred ownership of the church building and grounds to the church’s administration while he was still bishop, making their ownership legal.

Schofield attempted to split the entire diocese from the Episcopal Church in 2006 after the denomination appointed its first gay bishop, Gene Robinson. He succeeded in handing over ownership of St. Columba in 2007, but the Episcopal Church removed him as bishop before who could do anything further. . .

The lawsuit is only the latest in a series of legal battles that have ensued since churches began leaving the Episcopal denomination over the denomination’s acceptance of gay clergy and gay marriage. The sharp disagreement over the church’s stance on homosexuality featured as a major factor in the multi-million dollar legal battle between the Epsicopal denomination and 29 churches of the Diocese of South Carolina in 2017.

Women’s March Holds ‘Vigil’ to Oppose Anti-Semitism — Led by Linda Sarsour

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Women’s March, whose leaders have openly embraced anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, tried to lead the “resistance” in opposition to President Donald Trump in the wake of the Pennsylvania synagogue shooting Sunday, holding a “vigil” outside the White House to protest anti-Semitism.

There was just one problem: it was led by noted supporter of anti-Semite Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan (and likely anti-Semite, herself), Linda Sarsour.

“Today we are turning our grief to action with @jewishaction,” the Women’s March tweeted, “to send a clear message that these anti-semitic and xenophobic attacks can never happen again.”

Notice they’re conflating terms — associating “anti-Semitism” with “xenophobia” in an effort to connect violence explicitly against the Jewish people with a broader campaign against opponents of unfettered immigration — because it’ll become important later. . .

Sarsour and fellow Women’s March leaders Tamika Mallory and Carmen Perez are, of course, friends with arguably the nation’s foremost anti-Semite, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who regularly delivers anti-Jewish messages from the pulpit of his mosque in Chicago, and just last week referred to Jews as “termites” who require extermination.

Here’s How Much of Planned Parenthood’s Campaign Activity You Helped Pay for This Election Cycle

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the most prominent of the Republican Party’s unkept promises from the 2016 election will hurt them in more ways than one in 2018.

A new report from the pro-life nonprofit Live Action contains the latest numbers outlining what it calls “Planned Parenthood’s political money laundering scheme.” The report clearly shows that taxpayers ultimately contribute hugely to the abortion giant’s pro-abortion political activities on the campaign trail and beyond.

Planned Parenthood plans to spend a total of $20 million by itself in support of pro-abortion candidates in the 2018 midterm elections. The group is also taking part in another $30 million investment with three other groups for a political action committee called Win Justice PAC to mobilize voters in key battleground states.

This is all possible, the report explains, because — despite scandals involving its “health care services,” undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress, new allegations that clinics failed to report rape and abuse, and GOP control of the federal government since January 2017 — Planned Parenthood’s medical operations are subsidized by the American taxpayer to the tune of around half a billion dollars per year.

And while the group’s clinical and political arms are technically separate, that’s just not how things pan out in the real world, the report shows.

“While Planned Parenthood and its political arms are separate on paper, because taxpayers are forced to give the abortion chain over $500 million a year, donors are freed up to direct their money to Planned Parenthood’s political agenda rather than to fund what nominal health services Planned Parenthood itself provides,” explains Live Action CEO and founder Lila Rose in a press release.

“The corrupt bargain between Planned Parenthood and pro-abortion politicians must end,” continues Rose. “It’s paid for by taxpayers and with the lives of over 320,000 preborn children every year. Congress and the president must fulfill their promise to defund Planned Parenthood of all taxpayer dollars.” (For more from the author of “Here’s How Much of Planned Parenthood’s Campaign Activity You Helped Pay for This Election Cycle” please click HERE)

Cultural Appropriation’s National Holiday Is Called Halloween

/0 Comments/in , /by

If cultural appropriation had a national holiday, it would be Halloween. That’s the day on the Western calendar when African-American tykes don the outfit of Black Panther, a superhero created for Marvel Comics by two Jews born in Manhattan to immigrant parents from Romania (Stan Lee) and Austria (Jack Kirby).

The names of both those comic-book creators are themselves appropriations (i.e., Americanizations): Lee was born Stanley Martin Lieber; Kirby was born Jacob Kurtzberg. But when you see an African-American child in a Black Panther outfit, it’s difficult to know who is appropriating what culture. . .

This Halloween you may also see plenty of children—black, white, Asian-American, etc.—wearing Superman costumes. Superman also is the creation of two Jews: Jerry Siegel, born in Ohio to immigrants from Lithuania; and Joseph Shuster, born in Toronto to immigrants from the Netherlands.

Superman is neither a Jew, an American, nor even a Canadian (neither is he a bird or a plane). Superman is an alien from the planet Krypton and his birth name is Kal-El. If you come across a photograph of a Chinese child racing through a park in Shanghai while dressed up as Superman and you find yourself longing to cry: “Cultural appropriation!” first ask yourself: Whose culture is being appropriated? . . .

More than likely, no one would ever complain about a Chinese child appropriating American popular culture, because the illiberal lefties who worry about such things are able to see cultural appropriation only when it is the West appropriating from the East, or whites appropriating from blacks. That is odd, because there is a long history of Easterners imitating Western culture, and blacks embracing white culture.

Jewish Doctors, Nurses Put Their Personal Feelings Aside to Help Save Synagogue Shooter’s Life

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a rather sad, ironic turn of events, Jewish doctors and nurses at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh had to turn a blind eye to the anti-Semitism that brought them to their newest patient, 46-year-old Robert Bowers. . .

“He was taken to my hospital and he’s shouting, ‘I want to kill all the Jews,’” said Dr. Jeffrey Cohen, president of Allegheny General Hospital and a member of the Tree of Life Synagogue, Fox News reported. “The first three people who took care of him were Jewish.”

One of the nurses who came to Bowers’ aid, was a Jewish nurse whose father is a Rabbi. . .

Cohen had a brief conversation with Bowers to ask him if he was in pain or needed anything. Bowers told Cohen he was fine and then asked who the doctor was.

“I said I’m Dr. Cohen, president of the hospital. Then I turned around and left,” he said. “The FBI agent who was guarding him said, ‘I don’t know if I could have done that.’ And I said, ‘If you were in my shoes, I’m sure you could.’” (Read more from “Jewish Doctors, Nurses Put Their Personal Feelings Aside to Help Save Synagogue Shooter’s Life” HERE)

How Public Schools Indoctrinate Kids Without Almost Anyone Noticing

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Many people have long suspected that governments sometimes attempt to indoctrinate their people to increase the government’s own power and influence. Unfortunately, ambitious governments will not stop at merely controlling what their people can do; they must control their minds.

Indoctrination happens through many channels—entertainment, speeches, and censorship––but its main instrument is the school system. Teachers have a captive audience of malleable young minds for several years. They may not have figured out how to make students smart and productive, but they can at least make them submissive and obedient.

Judging by results and from most people’s experience, indoctrination is not only a problem with rogue regimes, but also a distinctly American problem. However, here it is difficult to determine the extent of indoctrination, how it works, or even if it does work.

Most Americans might receive a mediocre education, but this education may be so mediocre that the intended brainwashing might not even be effective. True, some will feel the Bern and join the Socialist Party, and others will become feminists and beat up women who protest abortion. A precious few may even become conservatives. Most, though, seem content to remain disengaged from politics, religion, and most ideas in general, and allow the mainstream media to think for them.

Far from resembling a unified collective, society has become more polarized and tribal. Some might see this as evidence of the failure of indoctrination, and the insuppressible human desire for freedom and justice, but they are mistaken. Indoctrination does work, and it is one the main reasons America is so divided. (Read more from “How Public Schools Indoctrinate Kids Without Almost Anyone Noticing” HERE)

Dem Candidate Won’t Explain Past Assault Arrest

/0 Comments/in , /by

South Carolina’s Democratic nominee for governor, James Smith, was arrested for simple assault and trespassing in 2000 under circumstances he declined to explain.

Records obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation show that on Aug. 31, 2000, Smith was arrested in Columbia, South Carolina, at 1720 Main Street Suite 304, a lawyer’s office. Smith was 32 years old at the time.

“It was dismissed because the accusation was completely, 100 percent false. … It was so obviously false that the judge ordered all records of the case to be expunged,” campaign spokesman Brad Warthen told TheDCNF.

He would not say who the complainant was or why he or she made a false allegation. He also would not say what the basis for the trespassing was. . .

Richard A. Harpootlian, whose law firm was based at the address listed on the warrant, did not return a request for comment seeking details or records about the incident. He is also a former chairman of the state Democratic Party. (Read more from “Dem Candidate Won’t Explain Past Assault Arrest” HERE)

A 97-Year-Old, an Elderly Wife and Husband: These Are the 11 Victims of the Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre

/0 Comments/in , /by

Just before 10 a.m. Saturday, suspected gunman Robert Bowers, 46, burst into the Tree of Life Congregation Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh and, yelling “All Jews must die,” killed 11 before himself being wounded and taken into custody.

The list of those killed Saturday included middle-aged brothers, an elderly husband and wife and a grandmother nearing 100. All were cherished members of a tight-knit Jewish community with deep roots in Pittsburgh history. . .

Those killed were Daniel Stein, 71; Joyce Feinberg, 75; Richard Gottfried, 65; Rose Mallinger, 97; Jerry Rabinowitz, 66; brothers Cecil Rosenthal, 59, and David Rosenthal 54; husband and wife Bernice Simon, 84 and Sylvan Simon, 86; Melvin Wax, 88; and Irving Younger, 69. . .

The Rosenthal brothers, Cecil and David, were long-time members of the Tree of Life synagogue, according to J.E. Reich, who grew up in the neighborhood the brothers called home. Reich said the brothers were developmentally disabled and lived together. The two had Fragile X syndrome, a genetic disorder that often results in mild to moderate intellectual disability.

Cecil Rosenthal loved to greet people at the door of the synagogue before services “not out of obligation, but out of joy,” said Reich, a reporter who has written for online websites such as Jezebel.
