CATFISH ALERT: Top Dem Recruit Admits He Lied on Dating Apps

A Democratic congressional candidate in a battleground race apologized on Wednesday for lying on dating apps to make himself appear 11 years younger, saying he “made a mistake.”

California assemblyman Rudy Salas listed his age on Tinder and Bumble as 34, though he is actually 45 years old, according to the San Joaquin Valley Sun.

The controversy is another blunder for the Democrat in one of the most competitive congressional races in the country. Salas has been criticized by Republicans for “botch[ing] his campaign rollout” and flubbing media interviews.

Salas, whom national Democrats tapped to run against incumbent Republican representative David Valadao for the highly competitive seat, confirmed that he listed a false age on the apps. . .

Salas’s move is a common tactic for online daters seeking to date much younger people who might not otherwise be interested in them, according to experts. (Read more from “Catfish Alert: Top Dem Recruit Admits He Lied on Dating Apps” HERE)

Student Sues University Over ‘No-Contact’ Orders After Christian Statements

A Southern Illinois University Edwardsville graduate student sued the school Tuesday for civil-rights violations after she was issued three “no-contact” orders involving peers who disagreed with her conservative and Christian beliefs.

Maggie DeJong “suffered sleeplessness, anxiety, chest pains, feelings of sadness, loss of appetite, weight loss, lack of concentration, harm to her reputation, and future loss of employment and wages” because of the orders involving the art therapy counseling major, her lawyers said.

Attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom, a public interest law firm representing Ms. DeJong, say the student’s views were “informed by her Christian faith and political stance” and were reported by at least three students to school officials.

The complaints resulted in the “no-contact” orders, which were copied to campus police.

The school did not give Ms. DeJong, 26, an opportunity to defend herself, and did not identify any policy or rule violation, the ADF attorneys said. (Read more from “Student Sues University Over ‘No-Contact’ Orders After Christian Statements” HERE)

Disturbing: Remains of an Apparent Human Fetus Found at Wastewater Facility

The apparent remains of a human fetus were discovered at a Natchez wastewater treatment facility in the state of Mississippi, according to the Natchez Democrat.

The outlet reported that Adams County Coroner James Lee said that the Adams County Sheriff’s Office contacted him regarding what looked like a fetus located in a drainage system at the facility.

“Upon my arrival, I noticed a fetus that appeared to be (16 weeks) gestational age laying in sewage,” Lee said, according to the outlet. “My heart is broken. I pray for the people who disposed of this child the way they did.”

Lee noted that he reached out to the Mississippi Crime Lab seeking an autopsy and DNA samples, but the lab declined.

“According to the Crime Lab, it was not considered viable,” Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten said. “There is a question as to whether a crime has been committed or if it was simply a miscarriage.” (Read more from “Disturbing: Remains of an Apparent Human Fetus Found at Wastewater Facility” HERE)

Principal Walks Into Pre-School Classroom, Finds Sick Woke Tool Used to ‘Teach Colors’

In yet another sign that American public schools have been infested with toxic, leftist ideology, a North Carolina preschool is under fire after a teacher used flash cards featuring LGBTQ themes — including a card depicting a “pregnant man” — to teach children about colors.

The shocking incident was revealed in a May 27 news release from Rep. Tim Moore, the Republican speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives. . .

“This week, Rep. Erin Paré (R-Wake) received an email from a concerned constituent alerting her to the use of LGBTQIA+ themed flash cards, including a card with the depiction of a pregnant man, to teach colors to children in a preschool class at Ballentine Elementary School,” Moore’s release stated.

Catholic Priests Complain That There Are Too Many Possessed People to Manage

Catholic priests are complaining that there are just too many possessed people in the world.

Exorcists in Italy are overwhelmed, with some saying they are seeing dozens of troubling cases every day.

Speaking to researchers at Regina Apostolorum’s 16th annual exorcism course in Rome, the burnt-out priests said they need help.

The course attracted 120 participants, who have been spurred on by Pope Francis, a keen supporter of the practice in the fight against evil spirits.

Exorcists at the conference, which attempted to offer support, said they were in need of psychologists to help them determine who was actually possessed and who needed clinical support. (Read more from “Catholic Priests Complain That There Are Too Many Possessed People to Manage” HERE)

The Collapse Of Teen Mental Health — And Deadly Mass Shootings — Can Be Traced To One Single Trend

The start of the mental health crisis in the United States, particularly among young people, can be tied to an exact era in time: the advent of social media and smartphone technologies.

A review of key indicators of despair over time in the U.S. — including suicide rates, drug overdoses and reports of anxiety — shows that the intensification of America’s mental health decline coincides almost perfectly with the invention of smartphones and the popularization of social media. The number of mass shootings, especially those conducted by young males, also ticks up in the same time period.

The first iPhone was released in the United States in June 2007. Facebook was opened up to anyone aged 13 or over in 2006. Instagram launched in 2010, and the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 were released in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The mental health of teenagers and young adults has plummeted rapidly since the mid-2000’s, as screen time and social isolation have skyrocketed.

One key indicator is suicide rates. The crude rate of suicide in ages 15-24 tripled between 1950 and 1980, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), but then began to decline until the early 2000’s. That’s when it shot back up again. In 2000, the rate was 10.2 per 100,000. It remained relatively stable, ticking up slightly to 10.5 in 2010, before surging to 14.5 by 2017.

When the age range is expanded to 10-24, the trend is even more stark. “After stable trends from 2000 to 2007, suicide rates for persons aged 10–24 increased from 2007 (6.8 per 100,000 persons) to 2017 (10.6), while homicide rates declined from 2007 to 2014 and then increased through 2017,” a 2019 report from the National Center for Health Statistics reads.

Radical Journalist: ‘What if You Could Perform an Abortion With an AR-15?’

Julia Ioffe, founding partner and Washington correspondent for Puck News, found herself in hot water on Wednesday night when she tweeted that 2nd Amendment advocates would suddenly be for banning AR-15 rifles if they were tools used in abortions.

“What if you could perform an abortion with an AR-15? What if the 19 kids killed [in] Uvalde weren’t children, but fetuses?” Ioffe said in her now-deleted tweet.

Twitter users immediately pounced on Ioffe for not only using the horrible tragedy in Texas as a vehicle to plug abortion but also for suggesting that 19 children would suddenly have no inherent value to her if they were killed in the womb – a mad dash of irony that seemed to escape her.

“You’d defend it?” responded National Journalism Center program director Becket Adams. “What even is the purpose of tweets like hers? What good does it serve? Nothing of value has been done on this website in the past 72 hours, and it’s only getting worse.” (Read more from “Radical Journalist: ‘What if You Could Perform an Abortion With an AR-15?’” HERE)

Kevin Spacey Charged With Four Counts of Sexual Assault in UK

Kevin Spacey’s house of cards continues to fall apart.

The actor, 62, is being charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men after a review of evidence by the United Kingdom’s Metropolitan Police. In addition to the four counts, over actions that allegedly took place from 2005 to 2013, Spacey has also been charged with causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent, the Crown Prosecution Service announced Thursday.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr Spacey are active and that he has the right to a fair trial,” said Rosemary Ainslie, head of the CPS Special Crime Division.

The first man, who is now in his 40s, claimed to have been assaulted by Spacey twice in March 2005, and incidents with the second and third men, both now in their 30s, allegedly occurred in August 2008 and April 2013. All four of the alleged incidents occurred while Spacey was serving as artistic director of the Old Vic Theatre, one of London’s most historic theaters, a position he held from 2004 to 2015, according to the Daily Mail.

National Review Has Unconditionally Surrendered to Same-Sex ‘Marriage’

Until a few days ago, few people outside the offices of National Review knew that the revered conservative magazine’s publisher is a homosexual, “married” to a man.

“The publisher of the most important conservative magazine of the last 60 years, National Review, is gay-married?” wrote The Stream’s Peter Wolfgang, who broke the story. “Garrett Bewkes, the man overseeing the magazine once edited by William F. Buckley, has a husband.”

“He’s been the publisher for five years. How did this happen? And what does it mean for the conservative movement and the Republican party?” Wolfgang asked.  “I suspect a lot of NR’s long-time readers don’t know this. I wouldn’t have known if a local newspaper hadn’t run an article by Bewkes’ ‘husband’ Bradley.”

Wolfgang, president of Family Institute of Connecticut Action, continued:

Together they’re starting a Connecticut chapter of the Log Cabin Republicans. That’s a group “dedicated to representing LGBT conservatives and allies” in the Republican party, as they explain on their homepage.

Glenn Greenwald, perhaps the top independent investigative journalist in the world, is “married” to another man with whom he is raising two sons.

Bari Weiss, formerly of The New York Times whose substack produces some of the best coverage and criticism of woke culture and politics, left her husband and is now “married” to a woman.

Andy Ngo, the intrepid journalist who at great personal risk provided unparalleled coverage of Antifa violence, is openly gay.

Jim Hoft, founder and editor-in-chief of Gateway Pundit, is gay and “married” to a male reportedly half his age.
Dave Rubin, host of the popular Rubin Report, announced earlier this year that he and his “husband” are expecting the birth of two children via surrogacy.

Richard Grenell, former acting director of national intelligence and U.S. ambassador to Germany and a partnered homosexual, joined Newsmax in December as a national security contributor and executive for international partnerships.

Fox News personality Guy Benson is “married” to a man and The Daily Wire’s Spencer Klavan is engaged to a male colleague at the conservative media site.

RL Editor’s note: Andrew Napolitano, who attacked Joe Miller in his senate race against Lisa Murcowski, was terminated by Fox News in August 2021 after being accused of sexual harassment by a male co-worker and is a homosexual activist. He aggressively supported same-sex marriage and has been sued by two men for sexual harassment.
