State Replaces ‘Sex Offender’ With ‘Adults Who Commit Sexual Offenses’ Due to ‘Stigma’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Colorado’s Sex Offender Management Board voted Monday to stop using the term “sex offender” in treatment contexts and begin using “adults who commit sexual offenses” since it’s a less stigmatizing term for such individuals, KCNC-TV reported.

The terminology change is meant to reflect “person-first” language, the station said, and only affects use in treatment. KCNC added that the term “sex offender” won’t change in the state’s law or criminal justice system. . .

Kimberly Corbin, a rape survivor, spoke out against changing the term “sex offender” to something less stigmatizing, KCNC noted.

“I’m involved today after hearing that it would be improper or offensive in some manner for me to refer to the man who raped me as a sex offender,” Corbin said, according to the station.

She added to KCNC that “it’s very, very damaging” when people are “labeled” as a result of their “gender, race, sexuality, [or] ability” since “those are not their choices”; however, Corbin emphasized that sex offenders make choices to commit sexual crimes and don’t require a less stigmatizing label.

No Soup for You: Biden Gives Harris Cold Shoulder at DC Kitchen After Reported Tensions

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden seemed to snub Vice President Kamala Harris Tuesday as they helped prepare meals at a DC soup kitchen during their first public appearance together in more than a week.

Biden made no attempt to demonstrate any fondness for his VP in front of the cameras after Harris allies slammed Biden to CNN last week for giving her tough jobs, such as handling the border crisis, and accused the West Wing of giving her less support than white members of the administration.

When asked by a reporter what he was grateful for, Biden put an arm around DC Central Kitchen chef Dawain Arrington — who was standing to the president’s left with Harris at Biden’s right — and said, “The people I’m standing next to are what I’m thankful for. He got up. He was knocked down, but he got up.”

Moments earlier, first lady Jill Biden directed Harris to a spot next to her husband, but the president didn’t appear to greet his second-in-command. . .

Press pool microphones didn’t capture any words between Biden and Harris and the president seemed to ignore the veep and return immediately to his conversation with Arrington as he placed turkey on trays.

MSM Ignores Hunter Biden Report On Securing Chinese Mineral Monopoly

/0 Comments/in , /by

The nation’s largest news networks ignored blockbuster reporting from The New York Times this week that chronicled how Hunter Biden helped the Chinese secure a major cobalt mine in Congo.

On Saturday, the Times reported that Biden’s joint global equity firm, the Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Company, facilitated purchase of one of the world’s most lucrative cobalt reserves in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

“The firm made one of its most successful investments in 2016, when it bought and later sold a stake in CATL, a fast-growing Chinese company that is now the world’s biggest maker of batteries for electric vehicles,” the Times reported. “The mining deal in Congo also came in 2016, when the Chinese mining outfit China Molybdenum announced that it was paying $2.65 billion to buy Tenke Fungurume, a cobalt and copper mine, from the American company Freeport-McMoRan.” . . .

According to the Media Research Center, American media remained mute.

Instead of covering the corruption of the Biden family, ABC’s World News Tonight was busy hyping online Black Friday deals. And on CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News, they were lamenting Chinese genocide apologist and NBA player, LeBron James getting suspended for a fight on the court.

DA Admitted Progressive Reforms Would Mean Someone Would Get Killed: ‘It’s Guaranteed’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The district attorney facing criticism after the alleged Waukesha Christmas parade crash killer was freed on bond two days before the carnage previously admitted his progressive reforms “guaranteed” killers could be put back on the street.

Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, who was elected to the position in 2007, has spent his career supporting cash-bail system reform because he argues it criminalizes poverty.

In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the year he was elected, Chisholm said: “Is there going to be an individual I divert, or I put into treatment program, who’s going to go out and kill somebody?”

“You bet. Guaranteed. It’s guaranteed to happen. It does not invalidate the overall approach.”

Chisholm has long pushed to divert nonviolent offenders away from the prison system with alternate programs, and has spoken previously about reducing the number of incarcerations in Milwaukee County.

Waukesha Christmas Parade Attack Suspect Should Have Never Been Out on the Streets; Alleged Attacker Rapped About George Floyd, Black Power, Anti-Police Rhetoric

/1 Comment/in , /by

By New York Post. The man arrested over the deadly Christmas parade attack in Wisconsin should have been behind bars following an arrest earlier this month, but was released on an “inappropriately low” bond days before the attack, the district attorney admitted Monday.

Darrell Brooks, 39, is charged with five counts of intentional homicide over the deadly crash on Sunday in Waukesha that left five dead and at least 48 injured, police said.

Brooks was out on bond at the time of Sunday’s tragedy after allegedly punching the mother of his child and hitting her with his car in a Milwaukee gas station parking lot on Nov. 2, according to court documents.

He was arrested and charged that same day with resisting or obstructing an officer, reckless endangering safety, disorderly conduct, bail jumping and battery.

The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office said Monday it had launched an internal probe into how Brooks was given such a low bond given the seriousness of the charges and his criminal history.

Alleged Wisconsin Christmas Parade Attacker Rapped About George Floyd, Black Power, Anti-Police Rhetoric

By National File. Alleged Wisconsin Christmas Parade slayer Darrell E. Brooks previously rapped about George Floyd, Eric Garner, “black power,” anti-white racism, and frequently used anti-police rhetoric in his music. . .

The alleged assailant appears to have been identified as Darrell E. Brooks, otherwise known as rapper MathBoi Fly. Brooks, now in custody, is a black man in his 30’s according to reports by Karol Markowicz. . .

“The man in custody over the mass casualty incident at the #Waukesha, Wis. Christmas parade has posts on his social media in support of BLM causes, George Floyd & black nationalism. He also has a post about how to get away with running people over on the street,” Ngo tweeted.

In one of MathBoi Fly’s songs, the individual raps about the aforementioned subjects. “They done got another victim like it’s Eric Garner, they make it hard to breathe like it’s George Floyd, middle finger to police blood don’t get me started,” Brooks appears to have said in a song titled MINNESOTA. “Had his knee on his neck wouldn’t get off him, we ain’t doing no more marching time to get retarded, military police imma go regardless.”

Leaked Document Shows Thousands of Unvaccinated Border Agents Before Big Federal Deadline

/0 Comments/in , /by

Approximately 4,165 border agents were unvaccinated as of last week ahead of the Nov. 22 COVID-19 federal vaccine mandate deadline, according to a document obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Nov. 14 document provided by an anonymous government source showed that around 16,500 border agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) were fully vaccinated. Of the unvaccinated agents, 3,365 were seeking exemptions and 800 had no exemption requests.

Vice President of the National Border Patrol Council Chris Cabrera told the DCNF that the worst penalty for agents choosing to remain unvaccinated without approved exemptions could mean removal from the job.

A senior border patrol agent earlier told the DCNF that lesser penalties could include “verbal counseling” and 14 days without pay before removal. (Read more from “Leaked Document Shows Thousands of Unvaccinated Border Agents Before Big Federal Deadline” HERE)

Anti-Trump Lincoln Project Co-Founder Wants Trump to Run Again in 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Lincoln Project, the fiercely anti-Trump group that reviles the former president as a dangerous authoritarian, revealed last week its goal is to get Trump to run again in 2024.

CNN reported Friday on alleged tension between former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over their potential 2024 presidential runs, and Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson discussed the left-wing group’s attempts to use this tension in their marketing.

Wilson described a commercial set to air in Palm Beach – home of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago – that will frame DeSantis as the GOP “It guy” in an effort to annoy Trump. From there, he admitted that the group’s goal is ultimately to push Trump as the sole Republican candidate in 2024.

“We want Trump to kill his own babies,” Wilson said. “We believe if we narrow the field and it’s only Trump in 2024, it’s an easy choice for Americans to say ‘no.'” (Read more from “Anti-Trump Lincoln Project Co-Founder Wants Trump to Run Again in 2024” HERE)

AOC Promotes Bail Reform One Day After Waukesha Christmas Parade Massacre

/0 Comments/in , /by

Open socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) promoted bail reform efforts just one day after the Waukesha, Wisconsin, Christmas parade, where the suspect – Darrell E. Brooks Jr., who has an extensive criminal record – was released on $1000 bond days prior to when he allegedly plowed an SUV into crowds of people.

In a tweet on Monday morning, AOC shared a letter that she penned with Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) asking New York City’s five District Attorneys for information on “excessive bail in the NYC court system – particularly for low-income defendants.” She tweeted:

The letter focused primarily on New York City’s Rikers Island, alleging that “thousands of individuals” have been forced to languish in terrible conditions. The letter said:

We have grave concerns that excessive bail amounts are leading to unnecessary pretrial detention and contributing to a humanitarian crisis in New York City’s jail system, particularly on Riker’s Island. 14 people of died this year in the custody of New York City Department of Corrections.

Study: The Most Common Pain Relief Drug in the World Induces Risky Behavior

/1 Comment/in , , /by

One of the most consumed drugs in the US – and the most commonly taken analgesic worldwide – could be doing a lot more than simply taking the edge off your headache, according to scientists.

Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol and sold widely under the brand names Tylenol and Panadol, also increases risk-taking, according to a study published in 2020 that measured changes in people’s behavior when under the influence of the common over-the-counter medication.

“Acetaminophen seems to make people feel less negative emotion when they consider risky activities – they just don’t feel as scared,” neuroscientist Baldwin Way from The Ohio State University explained last year.

“With nearly 25 percent of the population in the US taking acetaminophen each week, reduced risk perceptions and increased risk-taking could have important effects on society.”

The findings add to a recent body of research suggesting that acetaminophen’s effects on pain reduction also extend to various psychological processes, lowering people’s receptivity to hurt feelings, experiencing reduced empathy, and even blunting cognitive functions.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House Jan. 6 committee issued a fresh batch of subpoenas on Monday to five more people, including familiar allies of former President Donald Trump.

Among those subpoenaed by the Capitol riot committee were Roger Stone , conspiracy theorist and alt-right talk show host Alex Jones, Dustin Stockton, his fiance Jennifer Lawrence, and Taylor Budowich. The panel seeks documents and testimony.

“The Select Committee is seeking information about the rallies and subsequent march to the Capitol that escalated into a violent mob attacking the Capitol and threatening our democracy,” Mississippi Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the committee, said in a statement.

“We need to know who organized, planned, paid for, and received funds related to those events, as well as what communications organizers had with officials in the White House and Congress,” Thompson added.

Stockton and Lawrence helped plan rallies that took place after the 2020 election, including the “Stop the Steal ” rally that took place on Jan. 6 prior to the attack at the Capitol complex, according to the panel. They were also involved in Steve Bannon’s “We Build the Wall ” crowdfunding group. Bannon was charged with defrauding donors but was pardoned by Trump during his final hours in the White House.
