Students Branded ‘Hate-Group’ for Traditional Marriage Stance

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Catholic student group at Georgetown University could be stripped of its funding for its belief in traditional marriage.

Love Saxa, a group that advocates for marriage between a man and a woman, is under fire from LGBTQ groups on campus, PRIDE and Queer People of Color, according to The Hoya, Georgetown’s student publication. A pro-choice student senator filed a notice on September 25, arguing Love Saxa’s definition of marriage and relationships violates university standards by fostering hatred or intolerance.

The notice, which would identify Love Saxa as a hate group, could strip Love Saxa of its funding and bar it from using campus facilities. The group receives $250 a year from the Georgetown, which is the country’s oldest Catholic university.

Love Saxa petiioned for a delay because it was not given enough time to defend itself and had not seen the notice, according to the Catholic News Agency. A hearing, originally set for Monday, is now scheduled for Oct. 30.

The controversy began last month, when the president of Love Saxa, Amelia Irvine, published an op-ed titled “Confessions of a College Virgin” in The Hoya, talking about abstinence before marriage and the group’s definition of marriage.

Boy’s $3 Donation to Trump Gets Him Surprise Gift

/0 Comments/in , /by

A boy in Tennessee received an unexpected surprise after a stranger learned of his donation to President Trump.

Shortly after Inauguration Day, Eli’sha Davies, 9, learned that the president was taking a big salary cut in his new job. So he decided to send him $3 to help him pay his bills, WGRZ reported . . .

But Davies’ mother told reporters that the money was actually meant to go towards a new mandolin the boy had been saving for, WGRZ reported. But he was having trouble because he kept finding people he thought needed the money more than he did, like the president.

The Young Musicians Education Foundation Inc. is a local charity that helps kids get access to instruments who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford them, WGRZ reported.

When John Wildeman, the president of the Foundation, heard about Davies’ story, he decided that he wanted to help out, so he gifted him the mandolin he wanted. (Read more from “Boy’s $3 Donation to Trump Gets Him Surprise Gift” HERE)

Conjoined Twins ‘Fantastic’ After Separation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Like any new parents, Heather and Riley Delaney are excited to see their babies hitting developmental milestones.

But for 15-month-old twins Abby and Erin, who were fused at the tops of their heads until June, even the tiniest hints of progress win tears and applause.

“Look at Abby holding her head up!” occupational therapist Ashley Binkowski said recently as she helped the baby sit on a mat at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “That takes abdominal control on this soft surface.” . . .

Heather, who has not been home to Mooresville, N.C., since she was 26 weeks pregnant, is keenly aware that the road ahead may be tough, especially for Abby, who lost part of a vital cranial blood vessel she once shared with her sister. But if the hurdles are high, so are the hopes.

“Babies have brain plasticity, which means their brains can overcome a lot,” Heather said. “The doctors have a lot of hope for what the girls can do. But we won’t really know what kind of deficits they have until they’re about 3. For now, they’re doing fantastic.” (Read more from “Conjoined Twins ‘Fantastic’ After Separation” HERE)

Court Delays Abortion for Illegal Alien Teen

/0 Comments/in , /by

A D.C. appeals court decided Friday that an illegal-alien teen cannot be denied an abortion but ordered the federal government to find her a private sponsor to ensure the government doesn’t facilitate the procedure.

The court gave the government until Oct. 31 to find a sponsor for the 17-year-old, referred to in court as Jane Doe. The teen was detained in Texas Sept. 7 after crossing the border and has been in custody of a Department of Health and Human Services-funded shelter in the state.

The government’s appeal was in response to an order Wednesday by a lower-court judge to carry out the procedure by Saturday.

While minors who reside in Texas are required to obtain parental consent to get abortions in the state of Texas, District Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed the illegal-alien teen had a “constitutional right” to the procedure.

​Federal officials had refused to allow Doe, who is currently 15 weeks pregnant, to leave the detention center and go to a clinic. (Read more from “Court Delays Abortion for Illegal Alien Teen” HERE)

There ‘Will Be Blood’ on Netflix Hands Over El Chapo Documentary, According to Actor

/0 Comments/in , /by

By John Koblin. Sean Penn and Netflix are fighting over a documentary series that will become available early Friday, with a lawyer for Mr. Penn saying in a letter to the streaming service that it is “hereby on notice that blood will be on their hands if this film causes bodily harm.”

The series in question, “The Day I Met El Chapo: The Kate del Castillo Story,” centers on the bizarre episode in October 2015 when Ms. del Castillo, a Mexican actress, and Mr. Penn were given an audience with one of the world’s most wanted men, the drug dealer Joaquín Guzmán Loera, also known as El Chapo.

Mr. Penn later wrote about the meeting in an article for Rolling Stone that was published just a day after Mr. Guzmán was captured by authorities.

In a letter sent last week, Mr. Penn’s lawyer, Theodore J. Boutrous Jr., warned Netflix that the series would put his client in danger and demanded that the company make changes to the content of the documentary. Mr. Penn did not participate in “The Day I Met El Chapo,” and it largely revolves around Ms. del Castillo’s account. The documentary has not been changed.

A Massachusetts elementary school decided to cancel its Halloween costume parade since it is not inclusive for all students involved, outlets reported Tuesday.

Instead of the costume parade, the school in Walpole will throw a “Black and Orange” spirit day, Boyden Elementary School officials announced.

“The costume parade is out of our ordinary routine and can be difficult for many students,” the school principal said in a message to parents. “Also, the parade is not inclusive of all the students and it is our goal each and every day to ensure all student’s individual differences are respected.”

The school will also host a Halloween party Friday, the “Monster Mash Pasta Bash,” after school so the students can have the chance to celebrate with their friends. (Read more from “School Cancels Halloween, Decides to Celebrate ‘Black and Orange Day’ Instead” HERE)

Monica Lewinsky Tweets ‘#MeToo’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Monica Lewinsky raised eyebrows over the weekend when she tweeted the hashtag #MeToo, marking herself as a victim of sexual harassment or assault.

Lewinsky, who carried on an affair with then-President Bill Clinton while a White House intern in the 1990s, did not go into details about her experience.

Several women have accused Clinton of sexual misconduct, dating back to his tenure as governor of Arkansas. Clinton has only admitted to having consensual relations with Lewinsky and Gennifer Flowers.

The #MeToo hashtag gained traction after actress Alyssa Milano asked Twitter users to respond with that message if they had been subject to unwelcome advances.
