Iowa Passes Special Session Heartbeat Bill Amid Raucous Protests at Capitol

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iowa lawmakers passed a bill on Tuesday banning most abortions when an unborn child’s heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks into the pregnancy.

The bill was passed after Republican Governor Kim Reynolds called a special session to address abortion after the Iowa Supreme Court blocked the state’s 2018 Heartbeat Act last month. Reynold’s said she would sign the bill on Friday.

“The Iowa Supreme Court questioned whether this legislature would pass the same law they did in 2018, and today they have a clear answer. The voices of Iowans and their democratically elected representatives cannot be ignored any longer, and justice for the unborn should not be delayed,” she said in a statement.

The bill contains several exceptions, including in cases of rape or incest.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Texas woman was shot in the head and killed in her car Monday when her husband flipped off an erratic driver and the man fired several shots into their vehicle.

Paola Nunez Linares, 37, and her husband were driving in Hurst, a city that is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, just after 9 p.m. Monday when she was shot, police said.

First responders found Linares with a gunshot wound to the head and rushed her to an area hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.

Zane Jones, the slain woman’s husband, said he was driving their minivan when he flipped off a car that was driving aggressively, trying to push his car off the road.

“I looked over at him when I did it, and I thought he was flipping me off too. But it turns out he was holding the gun,” Jones told Fox 4 News. (Read more from “Woman Shot in the Head, Killed After Husband Flips off Erratic Driver” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 9-year-old boy died Saturday in a drive-by shooting during his grandma’s birthday party in Chicago after four to six shots were fired.

Ulysses Campos was killed by a bullet to the chest around 10:15 p.m. at the Franklin Park party when he was playing with other children in an Elder Lane alley, according to CBS News Chicago. Campos was transported to Loyola Hospital in Maywood, where medical personnel pronounced him dead.

The suspect’s vehicle was found in unincorporated Leyden Township by Franklin Park Police and the West Suburban Major Crimes Task Force. The unidentified suspect was arrested and is being held in jail.

The victim’s uncle said that he was going to turn 10 in two weeks, according to ABC 7 Chicago. Campos had an infectious smile and a love for making people laugh, his uncle said. He loved video games and received a PlayStation as an early birthday gift from his father. (Read more from “9-Year-Old Boy Dies in Drive-by Shooting During Grandma’s Birthday Party” HERE)

Ex-Team USA Gymnastics Fiend Larry Nassar Stabbed 8 Times in Neck, Back and Chest While in Prison

/0 Comments/in , /by

Child molester Larry Nassar was stabbed multiple times in the federal prison where he was sent to rot for sexually assaulting hundreds of gymnasts, including gold medal-winning Olympians.

Nassar, 59, was stabbed twice in the neck, twice in the back and six times in the chest in the Sunday afternoon attack in the Federal Correctional Complex Coleman in Central Florida, a union official told The Post.

He was listed in stable condition despite suffering a collapsed lung, said Local 506 president Joe Rojas, a New York native who’s worked at the prison for nearly 30 years. . .

Still, the union leader stressed that while Nassar was listed as being in stable condition, that could change given that he appears to have been “hit in vital organs” with what was likely an unsanitized makeshift metal weapon. . .

So far, it is unclear “how it happened or why it happened,” the union president said — while noting the notorious pedophile usually only mingles with other sex offenders. (Read more from “Ex-Team USA Gymnastics Fiend Larry Nassar Stabbed 8 Times in Neck, Back and Chest While in Prison” HERE)

This Tampon CEO Is Erasing Her Customers by Calling Women ‘Menstruators’

/0 Comments/in , /by

At only 25, Nadya Okamoto has already been on the Forbes 30 for 30 list and is the CEO of a feminine hygiene company, August. . .

And I’d like to say, sincerely: You go, menstruator!

Sound ridiculous and dehumanizing? I’m simply borrowing Okamoto’s own parlance.

This week, the August CEO appeared on a “CBS Mornings” segment to talk about August — but she excluded and demeaned her lone customer base: women.

Throughout the interview, Okamoto repeatedly referred to females as “menstruators” — reducing 50% of the world’s population to one, albeit one very important, function of our bodies. (Read more from “This Tampon CEO Is Erasing Her Customers by Calling Women ‘Menstruators’” HERE)

Joe Biden Is a Cruel Hypocrite About His 4-Year-Old Granddaughter

/0 Comments/in , /by

Frequently photographed with an ice cream cone affixed to his hand, Joe Biden comes across as the quintessential grandpa — like he’s got a pocket full of Werther’s and folksy advice to impart.

On Father’s Day, Biden said that “family is life’s greatest blessing and responsibility.” . . .

But there is a joke here. A sick one.

It’s how Biden treats his seventh grandkid — a 4-year-old girl in Arkansas, who the Bidens have systematically erased from their family tree.

The president has never publicly acknowledged Navy Joan Roberts, the little girl his son Hunter fathered with Lunden Roberts, a college hoops player turned Washington, DC, stripper. (Read more from “Joe Biden Is a Cruel Hypocrite About His 4-Year-Old Granddaughter” HERE)

BBC Suspends Male Presenter Over Claims He Paid Teenager for Sexually Explicit Photos

/0 Comments/in , /by

The BBC said Sunday that it has suspended a leading presenter who is alleged to have paid a teenager for sexually explicit photos.

As senior British politicians urged a rapid investigation, the broadcaster said it was working to establish the facts of “a complex and fast-moving set of circumstances.”

The U.K.’s publicly funded national broadcaster was scrambling to head off a worsening crisis after The Sun newspaper reported allegations that the male presenter gave a youth 35,000 pounds ($45,000) starting in 2020 when the young person was 17.

Governor Poised to Sign Bill Allowing Elective Abortions up Until Birth

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Maine may soon allow elective abortions up until birth, pending final approval from the state’s governor.

The bill — H.P. 1044, An Act to Improve Maine’s Reproductive Privacy Laws — would allow a woman to receive a late-term abortion at any point if it is determined to be “necessary” by a doctor.

It’s likely the legislation will be codified. Maine Governor Janet Mills, a Democrat, introduced the bill in January alongside legislative leadership, both also Democrats: House Speaker Rachel Talbot Ross and Senate President Troy Jackson. At the time, Mills credited the case of Maine woman Dana Peirce as justification for the expanded legalization of abortion.

At eight months pregnant, Peirce wanted to abort her unborn son after he was diagnosed with a genetic mutation called lethal skeletal dysplasia, as reported by the Portland Press Herald. Peirce ultimately traveled to Colorado for an abortion because Maine law prohibits post-viability abortions where the mother’s life or health are not jeopardized. The law does allow elective abortions up to viability, generally recognized at 24 weeks.

Bill de Blasio Wondered if Marrying a Self-Identified Lesbian Meant There Was a ‘Time Bomb Ticking’ in His Marriage

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and his wife, Chirlane McCray, announced on Wednesday that they are separating after nearly 30 years of marriage.

In an interview with the New York Times, the couple cited de Blasio’s ill-fated 2020 presidential campaign and his seven-year tenure as mayor for putting a strain on the relationship.

And de Blasio noted that he had some initial doubts about the pairing — given that McCray had once publicly identified herself as a lesbian.

“For the guy who took the chance on a woman who was an out lesbian and wrote an article called ‘I Am a Lesbian,'” de Blasio told The Times, “there was a part of me that would at times say, ‘Hmmm, is this like a time bomb ticking? Is this something that you’re going to regret later on?’ So I always lived with that stuff.”

McCray wrote that article for ESSENCE Magazine in 1979, over a decade before she met de Blasio when they both worked for former Mayor David Dinkins. (Read more from “Bill de Blasio Wondered if Marrying a Self-Identified Lesbian Meant There Was a ‘Time Bomb Ticking’ in His Marriage” HERE)

Ben & Jerry’s Posts Anti-American Message on July 4th; Critics Blast Their Hypocrisy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream posted an anti-American message on social media as the nation celebrated its 247th birthday Tuesday.

“Ah, the Fourth of July,” the company claimed in a statement. “Who doesn’t love a good parade, some tasty barbecue, and a stirring fireworks display? The only problem with all that, though, is that it can distract from an essential truth about this nation’s birth: The US was founded on stolen Indigenous land.”

“The U.S. exists on stolen land,” the statement later added. “We have to acknowledge that—today and every day.” . . .

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) tweeted: “Ben & Jerry’s, your once-good ice cream now sucks. You just guaranteed that I (a once-loyal customer) will never again consume a single pint of it.”

“When you suggest ‘returning’ the land on which our country has been built for centuries, what exactly do you imagine?” he continued. “Expungement of property rights? Repatriation of most Americans to Europe?” (Read more from “Ben & Jerry’s Posts Anti-American Message on July 4th; Critics Blast Their Hypocrisy” HERE)
