Prosecutors: Siraj Wahhaj Was Training Starving Children at New Mexico Compound to Carry out School Shootings

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thirty-nine year old Siraj Wahhaj was arrested at a New Mexico compound on Friday after authorities discovered 11 starving children, three women and another man living together in squalor. The children range in age from 1-to-15 years old. Remains of a young child were also found on the property.

Wahhaj abducted his three-year-old son from Georgia late last year and took him to northern New Mexico, where he has been hiding in a third-world style shack for months. He reportedly kidnapped his son in order to conduct an “exorcism.” The boy suffered from brain damage and had difficulty walking. Wahhaj blamed his health issues on the devil. The mother of the boy still lives in Georgia. Wahhaj’s father is an Iman in Brooklyn and has direct ties to the 1991 bombing of the World Trade Center. From Fox News:

Wahhaj’s family background was already controversial prior to his arrest. Wahhaj is the son of a Brooklyn imam, also named Siraj Wahhaj, who was named by prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the New York Post reported. The elder Wahhaj, who heads Masjid At-Taqwa mosque, was a character witness in the trial for Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the notorious “blind sheikh” who was convicted in 1995 of plotting terror attacks in the U.S.

But according to new information, Wahhaj was training some of the children at the compound to carry out school shootings. From AP:

Prosecutors say in court documents that the father of a missing Georgia boy was training children at a New Mexico compound to commit school shootings.

CrossFit to Allow Transgender Athletes to Compete in Annual Event

/0 Comments/in , /by

Beginning in 2019, transgender CrossFit athletes will be permitted to choose whether they compete as men or as women in the annual CrossFit Games.

This shift represents a significant change in CrossFit’s policies. Since the competition’s inception in 2007, athletes have been required to register as either male or female, depending upon their actual biological sex. But CrossFit’s recent decision will change all of that.

According to the LGBTQ website them, CrossFit CEO and co-founder Greg Glassman announced the policy change last Friday. He was speaking at an LGBTQ-themed event titled “Big Gay Happy Hour,” designed to kick off the Reebok 2018 CrossFit Games being held in Madison, Wisconsin.

“In the 2019 CrossFit competitive season, starting with the Open, transgender athletes are welcome to participate in the division with which they identify,” Glassman said. “This is the right thing to do. CrossFit believes in the potential, capacity, and dignity of every athlete. We are proud of our LGBT community, including our transgender athletes, and we want you here with us.” . . .

BuzzFeed News reports that in 2014, personal trainer Chloie Jönsson sued CrossFit for $2.5 million in damages, for preventing him from competing as a woman. Jönsson is biologically male, but has allegedly identified as a woman since his teen years. CrossFit’s position at the time (as stated in a letter from the company’s lawyer to Jönsson’s attorney) was that, “The fundamental, ineluctable fact is that a male competitor who has a sex reassignment procedure still has a genetic makeup that confers a physical and physiological advantage over women.” (Read more from “CrossFit to Allow Transgender Athletes to Compete in Annual Event” HERE)

Gun Control Proposal Hopes to Make Gun Stores, Ranges Display This Outside Their Businesses

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Chair of the Kings County Council in Washington state has a gun control proposal he’s pushing for. The proposal takes a three-pronged approach to dealing with “gun violence” in the area but one of the proposals is new.

Joe McDermott (D), the Council Chair, wants to make it mandatory for gun stores and ranges to have safety warning signs outside of their facilities. He detailed his vision in an OpEd in the Seattle Times:

First, I propose that public safety warning signs be posted at any place of firearm sale or discharge in King County, which will articulate the very real and significant risks to health and life inherent with firearm ownership. These signs will also provide immediate contact information for suicide-prevention and mental-health resources for individuals who might be in crisis. Once passed by the Board of Health, signs will be placed at the entrances and purchase counters of every shooting range and store selling guns in King County.

In addition to the warning signs, McDermott wants to require “firearm owners to securely store their guns at all times — whether at home, in a car or anywhere else” and the county to destroy all guns that are forfeited during buyback programs. The third part of his proposal includes using evidence-based strategies for fighting gun violence.

Federal Judge Dismisses Transgender Bathroom Lawsuit: Students ‘Do Not Have a Fundamental Privacy Right’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Conservative Review. A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against Oregon schools’ policy that allows boys in girls’ restrooms and locker rooms and vice versa, LifeSiteNews reported Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge Marco Hernandez dismissed the case against the policy, saying it was not a violation of privacy rights for males to be allowed in female restrooms.

“High school students do not have a fundamental privacy right to not share school restrooms, lockers, and showers with transgender students whose biological sex is different than theirs,” Hernandez wrote.

So, teenage girls in high school have a fundamental privacy right to kill their unborn children, but not to their own bathrooms? This is progressivism.

Judge Upholds Transgender Bathrooms

By Life Site News. Boys will continue to be allowed in girls’ restrooms and locker rooms in Oregon after a judge dismissed a lawsuit against that policy, saying, “high school students do not have a fundamental privacy right to not share school restrooms, lockers, and showers with transgender students whose biological sex is different than theirs.”

Students who are unwillingly subjected to seeing students of the opposite sex are not having their rights violated, U.S. District Judge Marco Hernandez wrote.

This ruling “reveals everything people need to know to understand the utter corruption of our court system,” Julie Quist, Board Chair of the Child Protection League (CPL), told LifeSiteNews. “Decency and respect for our children…are being cast aside for the political advantage of a militant political force that is systematically violating the innocence, dignity and freedom of our children and all of us.”

The lawsuit against Oregon schools allowing boys in girls’ restrooms and vice versa was filed by parents and students in Dallas, Oregon. This gender-free policy caused “embarrassment, humiliation, anxiety, intimidation, fear, apprehension, and stress produced by using the restroom with students of the opposite sex,” they said in the lawsuit.

The problems began when the Dallas School District allowed a girl to change in the boys’ locker rooms. She didn’t like changing in the gender-neutral bathroom because it was too far away and other students noticed, according to the Washington Post.

/0 Comments/in , /by

At a Tennessee fair on Saturday night, a 10-year-old boy in a wheelchair stood for the national anthem, Fox News reported Tuesday.

Avery Price, who has hereditary spastic paraplegia syndrome (HSP) and requires braces on both legs, stood to show respect for his country during the national anthem at the Putnam County Fair in Cookeville, Tennessee.

“I usually sit and put my hand on my heart, but last night I decided to stand … because I like to stand for my country,” Price told Fox 17.

Leah Norris, a woman sitting nearby, filmed the moment and shared it on Facebook, calling it “[o]ne of the most touching things I’ve ever seen.”

“You may or may not agree and that’s your choice. But this goes to show that [i]f he can stand for his country, so can you. I’m not sure who this boy or his family is, or if it’ll ever reach them again. But his parents are raising a fine young man,” she wrote.

Legal Immigrant Running for House Crushes Every Single Objection to Trump’s Wall

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Anybody taking the time to speak with and listen to Trump’s legion of supporters also soon will realize that he has quite a few legal immigrants who fully support him, particularly when it comes to his firm stance on border security and illegal immigration.

One of those is conservative Hollywood actor and California congressional candidate Antonio Sabato Jr., who legally immigrated to America from Italy with his family in 1985 and who now is calling for tough border security measures that includes a border wall, according to The Daily Caller.

The outspoken conservative decried the fact that our nation has essentially had “open borders” for quite some time and lamented how American citizens have paid the costs for that not only with taxpayer money, but also with lives lost to criminal illegal aliens. That problem can be solved simply with a border wall.

As for how the wall could be paid for, Sabato reiterated that America already spends plenty of money on immigration-related expenses and the savings to California alone in one year would be more than enough to fund a wall.

Unfortunately, there are bureaucrats, elected establishment officials and special interest groups who favor “open borders” and staunchly obstruct any such efforts to secure funding, hence the need for more Trump supporters like him who favor a border wall being elected to Congress.

Black Leadership Group Defies Liberals, Scorches NYT Over Anti-White Editor

/0 Comments/in , /by

In what can only be described as a clear display of the hypocritical double standards that most progressive liberals enjoy, The New York Times recently hired to its editorial board a woman with a lengthy history of making blatantly racist anti-white statements on social media and elsewhere. . .

In an official release from Project 21, an organization for black conservatives, several members informed The Times of just how “racist” and “vulgar” they found Jeong’s anti-white tweets — of which there are literally hundreds over the span of several years — and called out the supposed “paper of record” for its readily apparent political bias.

“Ms. Jeong is the recipient of leftist privilege, which means that whatever she says can and will be forgiven no matter how vile or racist her actions may have been,” stated Stacy Washington, nationally syndicated radio host and co-chairwoman of Project 21.

“In response to the backlash over her addition to the New York Times editorial staff, the paper shared that they had discussions with her about the appropriateness of her tweets. This is within their purview, but the double-standard is glaring,” she continued.

“Roseanne Barr was blacklisted for one tweet. Even after she showed remorse and apologized profusely, there is no path of redemption for her. In the freest nation on the planet, we are witnessing jackbooted political thuggery,” Washington added.

Democrat Senator Offers ‘Chilling’ Statement on Infowars Ban – and Gets Scorched Online

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut offered a “chilling” commentary on the digital ban on the Infowars conspiracy website, and the response from social media was less than positive. . .

Infowars and its chief personality Alex Jones have been criticized widely for spreading false news and conspiracy theories, but many more are criticizing how the company has been banned by many social media companies. The social media platforms accused Jones and Inforwars of bullying and the use of hate speech to justify their actions.

. . .

Senator Murphy’s demand that more voices be stifled was not met with a cheery reaction from many on social media.

“This is a little…alarmist,” said Brian Phillips of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. “Not a single person I know – right, left, middle, Republican, Democrat, Independent, in politics or out, whatever level of engagement of current events – is even remotely influenced by anything said on InfoWars.”

“The survival of our democracy depends on the restriction of free speech? This is a chilling comment from a government official,” responded conservative commentator Matt Walsh. “If his constituents care at all about freedom, they will make him pay for it come election time.” (Read more from “Democrat Senator Offers ‘Chilling’ Statement on Infowars Ban – and Gets Scorched Online” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California judge has sentenced a 27-year-old California man to 15 years in federal prison for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State and plotting a terrorist attack at Pier 39 in San Francisco, KPIX-TV reported.

U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O’Neill handed down the sentence to Everitt Aaron Jameson of Modesto on Monday as part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors. . .

The FBI began watching Jameson after he “liked” or “loved” Facebook posts about terrorist attacks and the Islamic State, according to court documents, CNN reported. He also expressed support for the New York City terrorist attack on Oct. 31, 2017.

Undercover FBI agents, who posed as ISIS supporters, made contact with Jameson and interacted with him. In later communications, Jameson expressed his readiness to do whatever was needed and that his military training in combat and war had prepared him to do the job. . .

Jameson told the agent about his desire to use explosives in an attack on Pier 39, a popular Bay Area tourist destination, adding that Christmas Day “was the perfect day for the attack,” according to CNN. (Read more from “Ex-Marine Turned ISIS Sympathizer Plots California Attack” HERE)
