Baby Monitor Hacker Sends a Frightening Message to Indianapolis Family

/1 Comment/in , /by

video-baby-monitor-70753-161503An Indianapolis couple was violated in their own home after someone hacked into their baby monitoring system. The Denmans use a video baby monitoring system to keep an eye on their daughter while she is asleep . . .

Wednesday, the Denman’s two-year-old daughter was playing at home with her mother when all of the sudden music started coming from the baby monitor.

“Someone was playing ‘Every Breath You Take’ by The Police,” said Denman.

At first, mom thought it was a joke, however, she quickly realized someone hacked into the camera . . .

Denman searched online to see if any other families have been through a similar situation. He discovered that the person who most likely violated his privacy has done it before. There are several videos posted online showing similar hacks with the same song playing over the speakers. The likely culprit also has a Twitter account he uses to brag about the breaches.

LGBT Activists Blast Rentboy Raid as ‘Digital Stonewall’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Demonstrators hold signs as they protest the arrests of male escort service Rentboy.com staffers outside United States Court in the Brooklyn borough of New YorkBranding the raid a “digital Stonewall,” roughly 70 LGBT activists blasted Brooklyn federal prosecutors Thursday for busting up popular online escort site rentboy.com last week.

Holding signs and chanting, the raucous group gathered in front of the Brooklyn federal courthouse to demand that all charges against employees at the multimillion-dollar enterprise be dropped immediately.

The activists — including current sex workers who advertised their services on the site — argued that the feds should not be allocating resources to policing consensual sex.

Shouting “Bl–jobs, not no jobs” and “Sex work is real work,” the protesters suggested that the operation was aimed at gays and transgender sex workers.

Several attendees cited graphic sexual descriptions in the complaint against the rentboy.com staffers as peculiarly prurient and unnecessary. (Read more from “LGBT Activists Blast Rentboy Raid as ‘Digital Stonewall'” HERE)

Screen Shot 2015-08-31 at 4.48.12 PMVanderbilt University’s Women’s Center will be hosting a week-long event dedicated to lecturing men about what it means to have “healthy masculinity.”

The “Healthy Masculinities Week” is sponsored by Vanderbilt’s Margaret Cuninggim Women’s Center, which claims to be devoted to “Celebrating Women” while “Empowering All.”

The mission of the Women’s Center is to affirm a “space for all members of the Vanderbilt community that acknowledges and actively resists sexism, racism, homophobia, and all forms of oppression while advocating for positive social change.”

The “core values” of the Women’s Center includes the idea that, “progress toward gender equality calls all of us to be champions for change” while simultaneously claiming to “celebrate the unique differences among all persons and work to build community in diversity.”

“Healthy Masculinities Week” hopes to encourage men to “[e]xplore healthy masculinity through various lenses,” such as “American society, the gay and bisexual community, fraternities, and more.” (Read more from “Vanderbilt Women’s Center to Lecture Men on ‘Healthy Masculinities'” HERE)

Conservative Christian Group Defends US Schools From Atheists Who Want Football Chaplains Abolished

/2 Comments/in , /by

footballThe American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a conservative Christian-based organization has jumped into the fray between the atheist group Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) and American colleges and universities.

Recently, the FFRF sent letters to 15 colleges and universities, pressuring the schools to fire the chaplains of their football teams. This is because, according to the FFRF, appointing a football chaplain in a sports team is unconstitutional.

The FFRF claims that schools should abolish their chaplaincy because “Christian coaches and chaplains are converting football fields into mission fields” and that appointing football chaplains is a form of “religious discrimination.”

A report by FFRF goes on to say that schools cannot “use the coercive nature and structure of a public football program to mandate, order, or even suggest that players under their control should worship as the coaches wish.”

The atheist group suggests instead that “it is in the best interest of public universities to adopt policies that protect student athletes from discrimination and unlawful religious coercion.” (Read more from “Conservative Christian Group Defends US Schools From Atheists Who Want Football Chaplains Abolished” HERE)

Fast Food Restaurant Refuses to Serve Woman, Here’s the Ridiculous Reason Why

/9 Comments/in , /by

Arby'sBy Fox News. A Florida Police Department had a beef with Arby’s after a cop was denied service Tuesday evening by a worker at the fast food franchise – simply because the customer was a police officer . . .

An officer, in uniform and driving a marked police vehicle, placed an order at a drive-thru speaker Tuesday evening before pulling up to the window to pay and receive the order. But an Arby’s worker at the window refused service.

“The comment was made that they wouldn’t be served because they were a police officer,” Maj. Carlos Bermudez, a Pembroke Pines officer, told FoxNews.com.

Someone else inside the restaurant intervened and gave the officer [her] order. But, after initially taking it and paying for it, the officer returned the bag and got a refund because [she] didn’t feel “comfortable.”

“In my 18 years here I’ve never heard of an incident like this before,” Bermudez said. “Whenever we’ve gone to an establishment, we’ve been treated professionally and great.” (Read more from “Fast Food Restaurant Refuses to Serve Woman, Here’s the Ridiculous Reason Why” HERE)

Arby’s Apologizes to Pembroke Pines Police After Report That Clerk Refused to Serve Uniformed Officer

By Mike Clary and Erika Pesantes. The alleged refusal of a 19-year-old fast-food employee to serve a uniformed Pembroke Pines police officer ballooned into a social media firestorm Wednesday and prompted a demand for an apology from Arby’s that was quickly delivered.

“I am offended and appalled that an individual within our community would treat a police officer in such a manner,” Chief Dan Giustino said in a news release in response to a report from Sgt. Jennifer Martin that an Arby’s employee refused to wait on her “due to being a police officer.”

The incident allegedly happened Tuesday evening at the Arby’s at 11755 Pines Blvd. in the Pembroke Lakes Mall.

Less than two hours after that release went out, police said Giustino had contacted Arby’s by phone. “Immediately following, Arby’s Chief Executive Officer Paul Brown, and Senior Vice President of Operations Scott Boatwright, contacted Chief Giustino to convey their sincere apologies on behalf of their organization,” police said.

“Both gentlemen assured Chief Giustino that the employee’s behavior was unacceptable and not representative of the company’s values. Chief Giustino was appreciative and accepted their apology and now considers this matter closed.” (Read more from this story HERE)

Fox News Anchor Sues Toy Company Over ‘Demeaning Plastic Rodent’ Doll

/1 Comment/in , /by

150902131852-harris-faulkner-pets-780x439A Fox News anchor is suing toy company Hasbro (HAS) for millions after she said it appropriated her name and her likeness for its “Littlest Pet Shop” product line.

Harris Faulkner filed the suit in U.S District Court Monday over the toy line’s “Harris Faulkner Hamster” doll.

“Hasbro’s false suggestion that Faulkner endorsed its product directly impugns Faulkner’s journalistic integrity, by suggesting that she has entered into a business relationship with the company (when she has not) and that she has lent her good name to a demeaning plastic rodent (when she did not),” the lawsuit said.

The suit said the toy resembled her in complexion, shape of its eyes and design of its eye makeup . . .

“Faulkner is extremely distressed that her name has been wrongly associated with a plastic toy that is a known chocking hazard that risks harming small children,” the lawsuit said. (Read more from “Fox News Anchor Sues Toy Company Over ‘Demeaning Plastic Rodent’ Doll” HERE)

/5 Comments/in , /by

lilaCrowds of protesters gathered in front of Hillsboro High School in Missouri to express their thoughts about a transgender student using the girls’ locker room.

More than 150 students walked out of class in protest, 30-40 of which were in support of senior Lila Perry’s right to use the girls’ locker room during gym class, Fox 10 reported.

“There’s a lot of ignorance, they are claiming that they’re uncomfortable,” Perry, who was born a male but said he identified as a female since age 13, told Fox 10. “I don’t believe for a second that they are. I think this is pure and simple bigotry” . . .

“Boys needs to have their own locker room,” Jeff Childs said. “Girls need to have their own locker room and if somebody has mixed feelings where they are, they need to have their own also” . . .

“I wasn’t hurting anyone and I didn’t want to feel segregated out,” Perry said. “I didn’t want to be in the gender neutral bathroom. I am a ‘girl’, I shouldn’t be pushed off to another bathroom.” (Read more from “Students Stage Walk out Over Transgender Student Using Girls’ Locker Room” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

635767188072915338-baptisms2A Georgia school district is investigating after video, [the video has now been taken down] of a mass baptism was posted on YouTube.

The video, posted by First Baptist Villa Rica, was shot on school grounds just before football practice. “We had the privilege of baptizing a bunch of football players and a coach on the field of Villa Rica High School! We did this right before practice! Take a look and see how God is STILL in our schools!” the caption with the video reads . . .

The Carroll County School system released a statement Tuesday afternoon:

“The Carroll County School System was made aware of a situation that took place at Villa Rica High School prior to football practice on August 17th. The District is currently looking into the specifics of this situation and will take appropriate steps to ensure all state and federal laws are followed.”

The Freedom from Religion Foundation sent a letter to Carroll County Tuesday asking the district to “immediately investigate and take action to ensure there will be no further illegal religious events”. In the letter, the FFRF mentioned its lawsuit against Emanuel County School District for similar practices. The group is now seeking punitive and personal liability damages in that case. “We prefer to settle these matters cooperatively,” the letter ends with a request to detail the steps the school district is taking to comply with the First Amendment.

Here’s the Amount of Money Taxpayer-Funded Planned Parenthood Spent Defending Sales of Aborted Babies [+video]

/6 Comments/in , /by

ppbodyBy Steven Ertelt. A new report indicates the Planned Parenthood abortion business has spent $517,000 defending itself as a series of undercover investigative videos have exposed its practice of selling aborted babies and their body parts for research after killing the babies in abortions. Planned Parenthood currently receives $550 million in taxpayer funds annually despite the fact that it is the nation’s leading abortion business — killing over 330,000 babies in abortions every year.

The House of Representatives is planning a vote on legislation that would de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business, which has been caught selling aborted babies and their body parts. The vote would follow one the Senate had weeks ago, which saw Senate Democrats filibuster and block legislation to revoke $550 million in taxpayer funding.

The Washington Post has more on how Planned Parenthood is defending itself:

Planned Parenthood is using virtually every tool in its lobbying arsenal to defend against attacks from conservatives and anti-abortion activists.

Planned Parenthood’s counter-offensive is widespread and varied and is unfolding inside and outside the Beltway. The group has been organizing rallies, flooding lawmakers’ town hall meetings, commissioning polls, shelling out six figures for television ads and hiring forensics experts to try to discredit undercover video footage that sparked the controversy.

New Video: Planned Parenthood Doctor Caught Admitting She Can Hide Profit From Selling Aborted Babies

By Steven Ertelt. The Center for Medical Progress released a supplemental video today that sheds more light on the profit Planned Parenthood makes associated with the ale of aborted babies and their body parts.

Earlier this month, the pro-life organization released a video catching a Planned Parenthood official discussing how the abortion business sells “fully intact” aborted babies. The video provides evidence showing the Planned Parenthood abortion business may be selling the “fully intact” bodies of unborn babies purposefully born alive and left to die.

Today’s 28-minute supplemental video provides additional proof of that and also shows how Planned Parenthood is making and hiding profits from the sales in an attempt to get around federal law banning the practice.

In the video Director of Research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, Melissa Farrell, admits how the Houston Planned Parenthood abortion clinic is a high volume abortion facility that provides a large number of abortions in the second trimester of pregnancy. She admits the abortion center provides a high volume of fetal remains to biologic companies and discusses how abortion practitioners at this facility are able and willing to alter abortion procedures in order to ensure intact remains that can then be sold to biologic companies.

Farrell also admits that abortion practitioners at this facility actually conduct their own experimentation on human fetal remains obtained during abortions. She said price for the fetal remains are broken down by Planned Parenthood into “line items” and “baked” into contracts involving the sale of fetal remains. (Read more from this story HERE)

UNC’s ‘Literature of 9/11’ Course Sympathizes With Terrorists, Paints U.S. As Imperialistic

/10 Comments/in , /by

towers-explode-2An English class offered at UNC Chapel Hill this fall called “Literature of 9/11” explores the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks from the perspective of radical Islamists and those who view America as an imperialist nation.

The reading assignments for the class, which includes poems, memoirs and graphic novels, present terrorists in a sympathetic light and American political leaders as greedy, war hungry and corrupt, according to a review by The College Fix.

The readings mostly focus on justifying the actions of terrorists – painting them as fighting against an American regime, or mistaken idealists, or good people just trying to do what they deem right. None of the readings assigned in the freshman seminar present the Sept. 11 attacks from the perspective of those who died or from American families who lost loved ones.

“ENGL 72: Literature of 9/11” is taught by Neel Ahuja, an associate professor of English, comparative literature, and geography at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

“Neel grew up in Topeka, Kansas. He studied transnational cultural studies at the University of California, San Diego and gender studies at Northwestern University, where he was a student organizer and labor solidarity activist,” according to his online faculty bio.
