Gun-Toting Dad Foils Daughter’s Kidnapping

A father in Florida is being credited with thwarting an attempted kidnapping of his 17-year-old daughter, firing shots as four teen suspects tried to break into his garage, police said.

An investigation revealed that the teens believed the father to be wealthy and had hatched a plot to rob his house and kidnap his daughter, according to the sheriff’s office.

Deputies from the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a possible home-invasion robbery in progress at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday at a home in Baker. The 51-year-old homeowner told authorities his daughter had called him to say that someone tried to block the roads to their home with barrels — an apparent attempt to force her to exit her car and walk . . .

He saw some people trying to force their way into his garage and fired three shots, sending the would-be intruders scurrying into the woods, police said. The homeowner later discovered that some security lights at his home had been unscrewed. (Read more from “Gun-Toting Dad Foils Daughter’s Kidnapping” HERE)

As a shooter attacked parishioners in a Sutherland Springs church Sunday, a grandmother stepped in front of her 18-year-old grandson, absorbing the bullets and saving his life, according to a family member.

Peggy Lynn Warden, 56, of La Vernia, was killed in the mass shooting at First Baptist Church that also left her grandson, Zachary Logan Poston, with multiple gunshot wounds in the arms and legs, said Korri Scheel Stevens, Warden’s sister-in-law and Poston’s great-aunt.

“She is our hero,” Stevens said. “She saved Zachary’s life.”

Stevens first shared the family’s story on a GoFundMe page created to help raise money for Poston’s medical expenses and his college education.

Celebs Accused of Sexual Misbehavior Have Another Thing in Common

The growing number of celebrities accused of sexual misbehavior have another thing in common: They have unleashed vitriolic and sometimes violent rhetoric against Donald Trump.

Actor Charlie Sheen is the latest celebrity publicly accused of sexual offenses.

Actor Dominick Brascia, a friend of the late child star Corey Haim, told Hollywood Reporter that Sheen raped the then-13-year-old Haim 30 years ago on the set of “Lucas.” . . .

Sheen, who confirmed on the “Today” show that he was HIV positive, is denying the allegations . . .

Just hours after actress Debbie Reynolds died on Dec. 29, Sheen wished death upon then President-elect Donald Trump. (Read more from “Celebs Accused of Sexual Misbehavior Have Another Thing in Common” HERE)

Rampant Hollywood Pedophilia: Shocking New Report Claims Charlie Sheen Raped Corey Haim at Age 13

Charlie Sheen is being named as the person who raped Corey Haim when the actor was just 13 years old, leading the child star to a life of drugs, which ultimately resulted in his untimely death.

Former actor Dominick Brascia, who was a close friend of Haim’s, came forward with the bombshell allegations against the “Two and a Half Men” star in a report published by the National Enquirer on Wednesday.

“Haim told me he had sex with Sheen when they filmed ‘Lucas,’” Brascia revealed. “He told me they smoked pot and had sex. He said they had anal sex. Haim said after it happened Sheen became very cold and rejected him. When Corey wanted to fool around again, Charlie was not interested.”

Sheen was 19 and Haim was just 13 when “Lucas” was being filmed and the alleged incident occurred. However, Brascia claims Sheen and Haim reconnected a few years later when both actors were in their 20s.

“Haim told me he had sex with Sheen again,” Brascia added. “He claimed he didn’t like it and was finally over Sheen. He said Charlie was a loser.” (Read more from “Shocking Report Claims Charlie Sheen Raped Corey Haim at Age 13” HERE)

Biggest Name in News Caught in Fake News ‘Sex’ Blunder

In the world of the politically correct, where Associated Press news-style gurus say a man who calls himself a woman is a woman and woman who calls herself a man is a man, it’s easy to see how mistakes could happen.

As AP found this week when it had to delete a tweet promoting a gender story because it misgendered a transgender.

“We’ve deleted a Wednesday tweet about two transgender city council members elected in Minneapolis because it misidentified one of them as a woman. A replacement tweet is upcoming,” the wire service said.

So was a man mistakenly identified as a woman?

Or a woman who thinks she’s a man “misidentified” as a woman? (Read more from “Biggest Name in News Caught in Fake News ‘Sex’ Blunder” HERE)

Melania Responds to Alec Baldwin’s Claim She ‘Loves’ Insulting Trump Impression

Actor Alec Baldwin said this week that first lady Melania Trump “loves” his impression of her husband, President Donald Trump, but the first lady publicly denied his claim.

Baldwin, who has portrayed Trump on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” regularly over the past year, told WNBC‘s Brian Lehrer Monday that he heard from a reliable source about a surprising fan of his.

“Here’s a scoop I have for you,” Baldwin told Lehrer.

Baldwin reportedly said a person “who is friends with someone in the White House or formerly in the White House” told him that Melania Trump “loves” his take on the president.

The caricature is an accurate reflection of what Trump is like behind closed doors, Baldwin claimed.

He said Melania Trump “told this person very high up in the White House brass there that that’s exactly what he’s like.”

Baldwin went on to claim her opinion of his impression has caused strife within the first family.

“Apparently Trump is horrified and beside himself that his wife actually thinks it’s funny,” he said.

However, in an email to Newsweek, Melania Trump’s communications director questioned the accuracy of Baldwin’s claim.

“That is not true, which is why Mr. Baldwin has no actual names to go with his bizarre assertion,” Stephanie Grisham wrote.

As for the commander in chief, it has been clear on multiple occasions that he is not impressed with his “SNL” sendup.

Late last year, shortly after Baldwin began depicting Trump on the program, the president offered his take on the parody.

During Monday’s interview, Lehrer mentioned rumors that a January broadcast in which former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is portrayed as the real president was responsible for expediting Bannon’s ouster.

Baldwin suggested the reaction could allow the late-night parodies to have a real impact within the West Wing.

“So whoever we want to get rid of, we need to elevate them above Trump,” he said. “That’s a wonderful thing.” (For more from the author of “Melania Responds to Alec Baldwin’s Claim She ‘Loves’ Insulting Trump Impression” please click HERE)

Nutrition Teacher, 40, Accused of ‘Brazen’ Sex Advances to Teen Boy Student, Including Nude Photos, Lewd Love Letters

A former nutrition teacher in Maryland has been indicted on charges of sexual abuse of a minor.

LaToya Nicole Parker, 40, allegedly abused a 17-year-old male student from St. Charles High School between January and May of this year, according to The Bay Net.

Parker is accused of “brazen” actions in an attempt to lure the student. The teacher would allegedly remove the teenaged student from the classroom and buy him meals at restaurants.

She also allegedly wrote “love notes to him” that began innocently, but later turned lewd as she would request sexual acts. Parker allegedly showed the student photos of herself, both of her naked and performing sex acts, The Bay Net reported.

An investigation into Parker’s actions began in May after adults — who heard about what was going on from students whom the 17-year-old victim confided in – reported the alleged activities to authorities.

Another Bombshell Dropped About the Texas Church Killer

Two women have come forward to accuse Texas church massacre gunman Devin Patrick Kelley of sexually abusing or harassing them over several years, while authorities said they were re-examining a sexual assault investigation of Kelley from four years earlier.

Records released by the Comal County sheriff’s office include a June 2013 report of an alleged sexual assault that lists Kelley as the suspect.

According to the report, deputies were sent around midnight on June 17, 2013, to Kelly’s family home in New Braunfels.

Sheriff Mark Reynolds told The Associated Press that deputies apparently investigated the case for a further three months after, but stopped investigating after they believed Kelley had left Texas and moved to Colorado.

The local district attorney said the case was never presented to her. (Read more from “Another Bombshell Dropped About the Texas Church Killer” HERE)
