Survivor of Communist Concentration Camp Makes Peace With Dying in U.S. Prison Over Peaceful Pro-life Protest

/4 Comments/in , , /by

A Christian pro-life activist who survived a communist concentration camp in post-war Yugoslavia is now making peace with the possibility she may not outlast the Biden administration.

Eva Edl, 88, has long been familiar with the consequences of dehumanization. After the Nazi forces were routed in Europe and the war at large was coming to an end, Edl, not yet 10 years old, was tossed into one of communist dictator Josip “Tito” Broz’s concentration camps in Yugoslavia along with thousands of other Danube Schwabians who had been collectively branded as Nazi collaborators by Tito’s communist Partisans and targeted for their German ethnic backgrounds.

Edl told WJBF-TV, “We were considered to be non-human. It was just permission for torture and killing by the government.”

In camp Gakowa, Edl indicated she ended up losing all of the skin on her legs and was hobbled by sores. “People gagged when they came near me,” she said. “The flies and the fleas and the lice, and the bed bugs just loved this festering body.”

Edl and her remaining family members ultimately managed to escape into Austria. After spending several years in refugee camps, they made it to the United States where she now might die in prison for defending the lives of the biggest cohort of dehumanized people, slaughtered by the tens of millions globally every year.

Cheerleader Stripped of Valedictorian Title and Might Lose Scholarship Over ‘Miscalculation’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Texas high school cheerleader was snubbed for valedictorian honors and could lose her scholarship due to a miscalculation with her GPA.

Maya Veliz, a senior at Blue Ridge High School in northeast Texas, was officially announced as the school’s top student in March. But her triumph was short-lived when she learned mere weeks from graduation that an error involving transfer credits from another school had dropped her GPA ranking to third in the class.

“It had been, like, the one goal I set myself for the beginning of my freshman year, was, I can do this,” the crestfallen teen told WFAA.

Veliz starred on the school’s cheerleading squad and was recognized by the College Board National Hispanic Recognition Program for her academic achievements.

As Veliz progressed toward her dream, administrators allegedly told the student consistently that she was on track to be valedictorian as long as she didn’t fail a class. (Read more from “Cheerleader Stripped of Valedictorian Title and Might Lose Scholarship Over ‘Miscalculation’” HERE)

Whistleblower: Gender Patients Begged to ‘Have Body Parts Put back On’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. . .[S]ome of the of the worst atrocities just now are coming to light, including the testimony from a whistleblower that patients of a children’s gender clinic were “begging to have body parts put back on.”

It is Fox News that reported on the comments from a children’s gender clinic whistleblower who appeared on a daytime television talk show.

The whistleblower, Jamie Reed, who used to work at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, wrote an expose last year calling such treatments “morally and medically appalling.” . . .

“A number of things. We started to see patients who were experiencing very significant medical harms being rushed to the emergency room with lacerations requiring stitches. We had patients contact us who were begging to have body parts put back on within months of having surgeries.”

She continued, “The thing that kept happening is every time I would raise concerns and ask about the protocols and ask about the guidelines – this is just how the industry works, if a child says they’re trans there’s no questioning it. We just say, ‘Yep, you’re trans, what would you like?'” (Read more from “Whistleblower: Gender Patients Begged to ‘Have Body Parts Put back On’” HERE)

Kids’ gender clinic whistleblower tells Dr. Phil regretful patients begged to ‘have body parts put back on’

By Fox News. A children’s gender clinic whistleblower on Thursday claimed to Dr. Phil that she saw regretful patients ask to have their removed body parts restored after operations. . .

Reed said that kids identifying as transgender has become 10 times more common and they are overwhelmingly young teenage women who wish to become men.

Girls, she argued, tend to be very attuned to the trends in their environment, particularly on social media and in their peer groups, to the point where girls in the same class would come in clusters all requesting procedures at the same time.

“They would come in, and they would almost have the exact same storyline, too, like they learned what to say from a video to explain, ‘Oh, no, really, I’ve felt this way from early childhood,’ but a lot of their parents couldn’t remember anything like that,” said Reed. . .

“I saw a young person who was begging to have their breasts put back on after having surgery. We were encouraged not to make a big deal out of it and definitely not to tell other families. I couldn’t continue to be silent on it,” she added about detransitioners.

A group of children and adults staged an hours-long walkout at a Utah middle school on Wednesday over an unusual issue — “furries.”

The protesters walked out of Mt. Nebo Middle School, which is about an hour south of Salt Lake City, claiming that students who dress as “furries” were being disruptive.

Furries are people who have an interest in animals with human qualities, according to WebMD.

In video of the protests shared to social media, students accuse the alleged “furries” at Mt. Nebo of biting, scratching, barking at, spraying air freshener on, and pouncing on other students. (Read more from “‘Furry’ Claims Spark Walkout at Middle School; School Pushes Back (VIDEO)” HERE)

Mom Discovers AirTag Tracker in Son’s Shoe: Mix-up Leads to ‘Mother’s Worst Nightmare

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Florida mother was thrust into a state of panic when she discovered an Apple AirTag tracker hidden inside her 7-year-old son’s shoe, sparking fears of potential surveillance. Jackie Giurleo recounted her harrowing experience to WOFL-TV, detailing the unsettling series of events that unfolded after her family attended a Christmas parade in Satellite Beach.

Upon returning home, Giurleo began receiving notifications on her phone indicating the presence of an AirTag tracker in her vicinity. What made the situation even more distressing was the realization that the tracker seemed to be following her son, Aidan. “It was every mother’s worst nightmare,” she expressed, reflecting on the initial shock of the discovery.

Determined to unravel the mystery, Giurleo embarked on a thorough search of her son’s belongings, eventually finding the tracker concealed within a small cavity cut into the foam of his shoe. Overwhelmed with concern, she promptly reported the incident to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, triggering an investigation into the matter.

Law enforcement authorities swiftly intervened, issuing a subpoena to Apple in an effort to trace the ownership of the AirTag. Their inquiries ultimately led to a surprising revelation: Aidan had inadvertently swapped shoes with another child while enjoying the festivities at the Christmas parade. The real owner of the shoes, a family from Oklahoma, had innocently placed the tracker to monitor their own child’s whereabouts.

Reflecting on the ordeal, Giurleo expressed her astonishment at the unintended consequences of the shoe swap. “We were really lucky that we had a happy ending,” she remarked, relieved that the bizarre incident was the result of a harmless mix-up rather than a sinister act of surveillance.

The incident serves as a cautionary tale about the potential implications of technology in everyday life, highlighting the need for vigilance and awareness, particularly when it comes to devices like AirTags. While designed with practical purposes in mind, such as tracking personal belongings, their unintended use for monitoring individuals underscores the importance of understanding the capabilities and limitations of modern technology.

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Maren Morris recently voiced her support for drag shows as wholesome family entertainment during her Saturday appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

The country music star addressed the Tennessee legislation prohibiting drag performances in areas accessible to children. She recalled her experience at a benefit drag show event held at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena with her son in tow.

“We were doing a benefit at Bridgestone last year when they were doing the drag ban in Tennessee,” Morris told Kelly Clarkson. “There were drag queens like throughout, entertaining as well, and one actually danced with me when I was singing my song, ‘The Middle.’ And it was just amazing and fun.”

“My son loves watching me, like sit in the makeup chair and just is like fascinated with the colors … it was just like completely harmless,” she added.

Why the Sudden Rise in Fentanyl Deaths Among Young People?

/0 Comments/in , /by

A mother who tragically lost her teenage son to fentanyl poisoning is speaking out about the opioid crisis among the nation’s youth. Federal data shows that among 10- to 19-year-olds, fentanyl deaths rose 182% from 2019 to 2021. . .

“The cause of Alec’s death was, in fact, fentanyl poisoning. I know that he took a pill, I don’t know how he got it or what he thought it was,” Hehl told The Daily Signal in an April interview. “I found him unresponsive in his room in the afternoon after speaking to him that morning and did not suspect anything abnormal.”

Hehl says she wishes society would focus on increased education around fentanyl and that the law would reflect greater penalties for drug dealers. “We need to make stronger efforts to combat the fentanyl attack,” she said.

According to the latest research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, opioid overdoses took the lives of more than 80,000 individuals in 2021, with synthetic opioids such as fentanyl accounting for 88% of the deaths. And according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45 is fentanyl overdose.

“Fentanyl made a cameo appearance in the United States late in the 1970s, when it was known as ‘China White.’ Now, however, it has become the principal villain responsible for America’s overdoses and fatalities,” Paul Larkin, a senior legal research fellow in the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, wrote in a legal memorandum.

Teacher Arrested on Charge of Recruiting Students to Be Prostitutes

/1 Comment/in , /by

High school students undoubtedly get a lot of crazy assignments these days, what with “Black Lives Matter” and “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” agendas running many districts.

But a case in Texas has documented a new extremity – a teacher accused of soliciting students to be prostitutes for her pimp son.

It is the New York Post that reports the high school teacher was arrested “on child sex-trafficking charges,” for allegedly offering runaway students “a place to stay and then forcing them into prostitution.”

The report cited details from Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez in explaining cosmetology teacher Kedria Grigsby, 42, worked at Klein Cain High and was taken into custody on multiple charges.

“She was working with her 21-year-old son, Roger Magee, to build a ‘prostitution enterprise,’ according to prosecutors,” the report documented. (Read more from “Teacher Arrested on Charge of Recruiting Students to Be Prostitutes” HERE)

Arizona Upholds 1864 Law Restricting Nearly All Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a landmark decision, the Arizona Supreme Court has ruled to uphold a longstanding law dating back to 1864, which severely limits abortions in the state, permitting them only in cases where the life of the mother is at risk. The ruling came as the culmination of the case Planned Parenthood of Arizona v. Mayes/Hazerigg, following arguments presented before the court in December.

The 1864 law not only prohibits nearly all abortions but also imposes harsh penalties, including prison sentences of two to five years for abortion providers. The court was tasked with determining whether the more recent 15-week abortion limit, enacted in March 2022, supersedes the older statute. While the justices refrained from ruling on the constitutionality of the 1864 law, they delivered a 4-2 decision, with one recusal, affirming its enforceability over the 15-week limit.

In the majority opinion authored by Justice John Lopez, the court clarified that its decision was rooted in statutory interpretation rather than moral or public policy considerations regarding abortion. The ruling emphasized that in the absence of any federal or state law explicitly prohibiting the operation of the 1864 law, it remains enforceable.

However, the court also exercised caution, staying the total enforcement of the law for 14 days to allow parties involved to determine their course of action. Furthermore, the case was remanded to trial court for potential consideration of remaining constitutional challenges.

The ruling comes at a time when pro-abortion activists in Arizona are pushing for a constitutional amendment to establish a right to abortion. The coalition Arizona for Abortion Access recently announced surpassing the required signatures for the proposed amendment to qualify for the November ballot, reflecting ongoing efforts in multiple states to secure abortion rights.

Tranny Sues Women-Only App Giggle for Denying Membership

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a legal battle unfolding in Australia, Roxanne Tickle a transgender ‘woman’, has initiated a lawsuit against the women-only social media app Giggle for Girls, alleging discrimination after being denied membership.

The app, created by Sall Grover with the intention of providing a female-only “safe space,” employs an AI-based gender verification process to prevent men from joining. Roxanne Tickle, identifying as a woman, attempted to apply for membership in 2021, but his access was revoked. Tickle’s lawyer, Georgina Costello, argued in the Federal Court in Sydney that Grover unlawfully discriminated against Tickle’s gender identity, asserting that Tickle perceives and presents himself as a woman.

Representing Giggle in the lawsuit, Bridie Nolan highlighted the app’s purpose as a refuge for women, aiming to combat “male online digital violence” such as harassment and stalking. Nolan contended that the app’s policies did not breach sex discrimination laws, as they are designed to foster equality between men and women in online spaces.

Tickle, who received a female designation on his birth certificate from the Australian government in 2019 following transition surgery, asserts that gender is not solely a biological construct but also influenced by social and psychological factors. Costello emphasized that while Tickle was assigned male at birth, he has transitioned to living as a woman.

The case has attracted attention from the Australian Human Rights Commission, with Sex Discrimination Commissioner Anna Cody providing submissions regarding the interpretation of relevant provisions of the Sex Discrimination Act. However, the commission clarified that it is not a party to the proceeding and has not opined on whether Tickle was subjected to discrimination.
