Teens Arrested After Car Chase Leaves Officer Dead

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three teenage suspects are now in custody in connection with a police chase that led to a suburban Seattle officer being struck and killed by a pursuing officer in a patrol car.

Kent Police Chief Rafael Padilla said at a news conference Monday that a passenger in the suspect vehicle was arrested with the help of a police dog after the incident early Sunday that killed Officer Diego Moreno.

Two other suspects, including the 16-year-old driver, have since been arrested, he said.

The chase began around 2 a.m. Sunday after a red truck was seen leaving a restaurant parking lot where gunshots were fired, according to Padilla.

Moreno had deployed spike strips at an intersection Sunday to slow the suspect vehicle, police said. He was on foot when he was struck by the patrol car that had been pursuing the suspects.

Authorities haven’t said what specifically led to that collision. Washington State Patrol District Commander Ron Mead on Sunday blamed the suspect for Moreno’s death.

The fleeing suspect’s truck landed on a spike but continued on for another mile before striking a barrier and coming to rest on its hood.

The patrol car also ran into an SUV that spun into two other vehicles. Padilla said three bystanders were provided medical care and that they were all doing OK.

The officer driving the patrol car was hospitalized in critical condition but had improved by Sunday night. He remained in a Seattle hospital Monday with serious injuries, Padilla said.

That officer has been with the department for 18 years and is one of their best, Padilla said. Police said they would release his name at a later time.

Padilla said Moreno made significant contributions during his eight years on the force, and described him as an “incredible human being.”

The Venezuela native was honored last year by the city with a Lifesaving Medal for saving someone from an opioid overdose. In 2016, he was praised for rescuing an elderly woman from a fire.

Kent Mayor Dana Ralph said Moreno’s efforts went above and beyond in the department’s Shop with a Cop holiday event. Ralph said last year Moreno pulled out his own wallet to cover extra costs for the things a child wanted.

“That was the type of person he was, the public servant he was,” Ralph said. “He leaves a huge hole in our hearts.”

Moreno is survived by a wife and two young children.

Community members added Monday to a memorial of flowers, candles, drawings and other items outside the Kent Police Station.

A vigil will take place Wednesday evening at Kent Town Square. (For more from the author of “Teens Arrested After Car Chase Leaves Officer Dead” please click HERE)

Whoopi Goldberg Spit on Judge Jeanine, Screamed Curse Words at Her; Whoopi is Now Finished

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. An on-air fight that broke out between ABC’s “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg and Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro did not end on stage as Pirro claims that Goldberg spit on her off stage and screamed at her to “get the f**k out of this building.” . . .

“I’m still reeling from it to be honest with you,” Pirro told Hannity. “I went on thinking that we would have a discussion about the book. The truth is, that it was an attack on Donald Trump, and then on me. I sat there as Whoopi Goldberg pontificated about how horrible Donald Trump was and at one point I said ‘you know I’m here to talk about the book’ and then she went ballistic – ended the segment.”

“She said ‘that’s it I’m done’ and what people didn’t see who were watching the show, was she yanked away from the desk where we were all sitting and she decided that she was going to end it,” Pirro recalled. “No one saw that, but it got worse.” . . .

“When I went off the stage, Sean, I’m walking downstairs and I said something like, Whoopi I fought for victims my whole life and she came at me as I was leaving and she said ‘F you’ in my face – literally spitting at me, ‘F you, get the F out of this building,’” Pirro said. “And I said to her, ‘did you just say that?’ She said that’s what I said, ‘get the F out of this building’ and she was screaming at me and I’m walking out of the building like a dog who was just kicked off.”

Whoopi Is Finished: Judge Jeanine Puts Goldberg in Her Place

July 26, 2018/by Conservative Tribune

In a week where serious events took up most of the news, we had the Whoopi Goldberg/Judge Jeanine feud to add a bit of bizarre levity to the whole thing.

Pirro, as you may have heard, was invited on ABC’s “The View” only to be summarily told “goodbye” by co-host Goldberg when Pirro brought up violence committed by illegal immigrants. Because clearly, when someone gives you the phlegmatic attempt at summary dismissal that appending “goodbye” to the end of an argument entails, they’ve obviously won. If there’s anything that my years of scrutinizing public discourse has taught me, it’s that. . .

Pirro had the last laugh on her Fox News show Saturday, giving some gratitude to Goldberg for the free advertisement.

“I do want to thank Whoopi and the ladies for helping to make my book No. 1 on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. So go out and get a copy if you haven’t already,” a smiling Pirro said during her show, according to the Daily Wire.

“All of you saw it, and most of you probably heard both my and Whoopi’s version of what you didn’t see after I was thrown off the set. But I’m not here to rehash old news, and in the spirit of tonight’s opening statement, I’d like to close the book on this and move on,” she said. “And I’d like you to do so, as well.” (Read more from “Whoopi Is Finished: Judge Jeanine Puts Goldberg in Her Place” HERE)

Steakhouse Customer Banned for Racist Note to Waiter – Then the Truth Comes Out

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. A waiter at a Texas steakhouse made national news when he said a customer left a racist note on his receipt, but the truth has since come out and it’s drastically different from what the waiter claimed. . .

The note supposedly read, “we don’t tip terrorist [sic],” and circled the name of the server, which is “Khalil.” . . .

After making national news, [Khalil] Cavil [the waiter] admitted the story was a hoax.

“I did write it,” Cavil said Monday. “I don’t have an explanation. I made a mistake. There is no excuse for what I did.” . . .

“I’m sorry. I deeply made a huge, big mistake,” Cavil said. “And I’m in the process of getting the help that I need.” (Read more from “Steakhouse Customer Banned for Racist Note to Waiter – Then the Truth Comes Out” HERE)

Saltgrass Coo, Waiter Says Racism Story Made Up

By OA Online. he Odessa waiter whose story about being called a terrorist by a customer spurred national attention last week now admits it was all a hoax.

The waiter, Khalil Cavil, 20, admitted he wrote the racist note himself in a Monday interview with the Odessa American, where he apologized to a reporter “because I did lie to you.” . . .

Cavil’s call followed a press release from Saltgrass Steak House revealing the hoax. Cavil had lied about receiving the note calling him a terrorist while working at the restaurant on July 14.

Terry Turney, COO of Saltgrass, issued this: “After further investigation, we have learned that our employee fabricated the entire story. The customer has been contacted and invited back to our restaurant to dine on us. Racism of any form is intolerable, and we will always act swiftly should it occur in any of our establishments. Falsely accusing someone of racism is equaling disturbing.”

Cavil claimed he was left no tip and that “we don’t tip terrorist” was written on the receipt. Cavil had said he hoped the post would spur conversation “about this hatred that is still going on, that is still here and prevalent. I just wanted people to understand that.” (Read more from “Saltgrass Coo, Waiter Says Racism Story Made Up” HERE)

GOP Rep Won’t Resign After Screaming N-Word, Taking off Pants in Fake Anti-Terror Training

/0 Comments/in , /by

State Rep. Jason Spencer (R-Ga.) plans to finish out his fourth term in office despite calls from state politicians for him to resign after he was recorded screaming racial slurs while being pranked for actor Sacha Baron Cohen’s new show, according to The Daily Beast.

Spencer who has reportedly faced death threats for a burqa ban he introduced in the state legislature, was tricked by Cohen into participating in a fake anti-terrorism training, which included screaming the N-word at potential attackers, and attempting to touch them with his naked behind.

“As uncomfortable as I was to participate, I agreed to, understanding that these ‘techniques’ were meant to help me and others fend off what I believed was an inevitable attack,” Spencer wrote in a statement. “My fears were so heightened at the that time, I was not thinking clearly nor could I appreciate what I was agreeing to when I participated in his ‘class.’” . . .

[Video contains explicit language.]

Cohen convinces Spencer that yelling the “forbidden” N-word would be an effective method of warding off terror attacks, after which Spencer repeatedly shouts the word while running as practice.

Spencer, at Cohen’s suggestion, also engaged in a racist (and bad) impersonation of a Chinese man in order to use a selfie stick to take a picture of someone’s genitals to identify whether they were carrying a weapon.

Filmmaker’s Stunning Admission Could Discredit This Famous Documentary

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock first shot to national attention with his 2004 film Super Size Me. He ate nothing but McDonald’s food and chronicled his ill health during that time. Spurlock and his film became a cultural phenomenon. He received the Best Director award at Sundance and was nominated for an Academy award. . .

Each day during his month-long experiment, he ate all his meals only at McDonald’s, and he ate large servings by any restaurant’s standards. No one forced him. By the experiment’s end, he reported experiencing shakes (as in trembling, not milkshakes) and fatigue. Most disturbingly, he appeared to be suffering liver damage.

Crucially, though, Spurlock claimed he had previously been in good health. That was what purportedly made him a good test subject, and he would go on to spin a whole career out of this self-experimentation routine, particularly in his TV series 30 Days in which, among other stunts, he spent (almost) 30 days in a Henrico, Virginia jail. . .

YouTube immediately dropped their plans to screen his Super Size Me sequel because of the admissions of sexual misbehavior. Overlooked in his “ confession,” however, is a stunning admission that calls into question the veracity of the original Super Size Me and demolishes his claims about the harms of a McDonald’s diet.

Spurlock asks whether childhood emotional upheaval including conflict between his parents influenced his later bad attitude toward women, then adds: “Or is it because I’ve consistently been drinking since the age of 13? I haven’t been sober for more than a week in 30 years, something our society doesn’t shun or condemn but which only served to fill the emotional hole inside me and the daily depression I coped with.” (Read more from “Filmmaker’s Stunning Admission Could Discredit This Famous Documentary” HERE)

MSM Promos Idea That Parents Can Let Children Decide Their Own Genders — This Is What They’re Called

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Some parents are deciding to let their children choose their own genders, and the idea is popping up in a variety of mainstream media reports. . .

The news outlet explains how two Cambridge, Massachusetts, parents are encouraging their children to blur the gender lines:

Three-year-old twins Zyler and Kadyn Sharpe scurried around the boys and girls clothing racks of a narrow consignment store filled with toys. Zyler, wearing rainbow leggings, scrutinized a pair of hot-pink-and-purple sneakers. Kadyn, in a T-Rex shirt, fixated on a musical cube that flashed colorful lights. At a glance, the only discernible difference between these fraternal twins is their hair — Zyler’s is brown and Kadyn’s is blond.

Is Zyler a boy or a girl? How about Kadyn? That’s a question their parents, Nate and Julia Sharpe, say only the twins can decide. The Cambridge, Mass., couple represent a small group of parents raising “theybies” — children being brought up without gender designation from birth.

. . .

“A theyby is, I think, different things to different people,” parent Nate Sharpe told NBC News. “For us, it means raising our kids with gender-neutral pronouns — so, ‘they,’ ‘them,’ ‘their,’ rather than assigning ‘he,’ ‘she,’ ‘him,’ ‘her’ from birth based on their anatomy.” (Read more from “MSM Promos Idea That Parents Can Let Children Decide Their Own Genders — This Is What They’re Called” HERE)

‘Boy or Girl?’ Parents Raising ‘Theybies’ Let Kids Decide

By NBC News. Parents in the U.S. are increasingly raising children outside traditional gender norms — allowing boys and girls to play with the same toys and wear the same clothes — though experts say this is happening mostly in progressive, well-to-do enclaves. But what makes this “gender-open” style of parenting stand out, and even controversial in some circles, is that the parents do not reveal the sex of their children to anyone. Even the children, who are aware of their own body parts and how they may differ from others, are not taught to associate those body parts with being a boy or girl. If no one knows a child’s sex, these parents theorize, the child can’t be pigeonholed into gender stereotypes.

This type of parenting received widespread attention in 2011, when a Toronto couple announced that they were raising their child, Storm, without gender designation, sparking a media frenzy. Progressive parents, who see their child’s gender as fluid rather than binary, took notice. A Brooklyn couple runs a blog featuring their 2-year-old, Zoomer, and offering advice on how to navigate the world while raising a “theyby.” Others have taken to Instagram to share photos and support.

Woman Gives Birth at Chick-Fil-A, Here’s What the Child’s Promised a Lifetime Of

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Griffin family was in for quite the surprise this past Tuesday when their matriarch, Falon, birthed their daughter in a Chik-Fil-A restaurant.

Apparently, Falon and her husband, Robert, were dropping off their two other children with family friends as she went into labor. The family met their friends at a Chik-Fil-A parking lot since it was on the way to University Hospital in Texas. But, the mother desperately needed to go to the bathroom and convinced the Chik-Fil-A employees to open the closed restaurant to allow her to use the lavatories.

Suddenly, while in the building, Falon knew what was about to happen. The pain was unbearable as she let out a scream. Their newborn baby was on her way. . .

Paramedics arrived 15 minutes later and rushed the family to the hospital. The baby, named Gracelyn Mae Violet Griffin, is now healthy in the hospital. Apparently, her birth certificate lists Chik-Fil-A as the place of birth. “Her birth certificate reads ‘Born in Chick-Fil-A’ and The hospital had me sign the birth certificate as the attending physician,” the Facebook reads.

The restaurant franchise owner told media that “baby Gracelyn will get free Chick-fil-A for life, and has guaranteed her a job when she turns 16.”

Father of Two Parkland Survivors Senselessly Murdered

/0 Comments/in , /by

A man whose two children survived the Florida school massacre was shot to death in a robbery this week.

Ayub Ali, 61, was putting merchandise on shelves in his North Lauderdale, Florida, convenience store on Tuesday when his store was robbed, Fox News reported.

“The suspect entered Aunt Molly’s Food Store. He took money from the cash register and left. The thief returned shortly after and shot Ali,” the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release, according to the Miami Herald. The sheriff’s office released a video of the incident on Thursday.

On Friday, Tyrone Fields Jr., 19, surrendered to police in connection with the death, WSVN reported. Fields has been charged with murder and armed robbery.

“The homicide detectives’ investigation led them to an associate of Fields’ who encouraged him to meet with law enforcement,” according to police spokeswoman Joy Oglesby, the Miami Herald reported.

Family members could not understand why the robber, having taken cash, returned to kill Ali.

“If you came for the money, take the money and go,” said his widow, Farhana, according to CNN. “Why did you have to kill my husband?”

Joaquin Nieves had come to leave flowers at the store Saturday.

“They caught him, Ali. They got him. They got him, papi. Don’t worry, you can rest in peace up there now,” said Nieves. “God bless. I’m so glad they caught him.”

He said whoever killed Ali deserves to be punished.

“He deserves to get whatever he gets, I don’t care what he is, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Haitian, I don’t care, he needs to go to jail,” Nieves said, according to CBS.

Ali is survived by his wife and four children, two of whom were students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, the scene of a Februrary school shooting that left 17 people dead. Ali’s children were not injured.

Ali was remembered fondly after his death.

“He was a very generous person and a nice person and like my younger brother he is from the same village in Bangladesh. He was a very religious person and very friendly. It is very sad. It is very sad. These things happen but this is so unfortunate,” family spokesman Mirza Mustaque said, WFOR reported.

Witch Hunt: Officials Reopen Investigation Against Christian Baker Despite Her Court Win

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tastries Bakery owner Cathy Miller won her court case against a same-sex couple in February after they sued her for declining to cater their wedding. The State of California requested a preliminary injunction to either force Miller to design wedding cakes for same-sex couples or not create wedding cakes at all. In his ruling, Judge David Lampe noted that the anti-discrimination policy in the state was “the stuff of tyranny.” If Lampe had sided with the California officials, Miller could have lost 40 percent of her revenue.

The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund, the counsel representing Miller, reminded state officials about the First Amendment while the case was still ongoing.

“Cathy would never discriminate against anyone who walks through her bakery’s doors. She will gladly serve anyone, including same-sex couples,” FCDF’s chief counsel Charles LiMandri said. “But Cathy will not use her artistic talents to express messages that conflict with her sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage. We are pleased that the judge recognized that the First Amendment protects Cathy’s freedom of speech.” . . .

Yet, now, the California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing is relaunching its administrative investigation of the bakery owner.

“This is a witch hunt,” LiMandri said in a statement Thursday. “Once again, the California government is proving that it will stop at nothing to punish Cathy for her Christian faith.” (Read more from “Witch Hunt: Officials Reopen Investigation Against Christian Baker Despite Her Court Win” HERE)
