Male, 36, Allegedly Grabs 3-Year-Old Boy by the Arm in Broad-Daylight Kidnapping Attempt — But Family Dog Isn’t Having It

A 36-year-old male allegedly grabbed a 3-year-old boy by the arm in a broad-daylight kidnapping attempt in Florida over the weekend — but a dog put a stop to it.

Ron Lee Klein Jr. entered a family’s fenced-in back yard through a gate at the back of their home around noon Saturday, WFLA-TV reported, citing a St. Petersburg Police Department affidavit.

When Klein allegedly grabbed the 3-year-old by the arm and tried to pick him up, a barking dog confronted Klein, the station said, citing the affidavit.

The barking alerted someone near the child, who began running after Klein and yelling at him, WFLA reported, citing the affidavit.

Klein let go of the toddler and fled the area, the station said, citing investigators — and St. Petersburg police in the area located and arrested Klein.

Leftist Group That Drew up Blueprints for ‘Get Trump’ Prosecutions Was on Retainer to ‘Advise’ Arizona AG

Democrat Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes retained a leftist lawfare group last year for “election integrity,” just months before it briefed her office on prosecuting supporters of former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign.

“Our work will be provided pro bono. … We are pleased to have this opportunity to be of service and to work with you,” reads a May 4, 2023, letter from Christine Sun, senior vice president for the States United Democracy Center, to Chief Deputy Attorney General Dan Barr.

Barr signed the agreement with States United on May 15, 2023, according to the document. Jeff Clark, senior fellow at the Center for Renewing America, first published the contract on Dec. 22 on X.

The document explained “terms and conditions” under which States United would “advise the Arizona Attorney General’s Office … in connection with developing legal strategies to ensure the integrity and security of elections.”

The contract demands Mayes’ office “will cooperate fully with us [States United] in your matters.” It also stipulates relevant communications, “internal administrative material,” and “research notes” — “other than those with you or opposing counsel” — can be “destroyed in our sole discretion and consistent with our document preservation policies.” (Read more from “Leftist Group That Drew up Blueprints for ‘Get Trump’ Prosecutions Was on Retainer to ‘Advise’ Arizona AG” HERE)

New Poll Shows How Americans Feel About Trump’s Plan to Put Illegal Aliens in Militarized Camps

President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration promises are popular among a wide swath of Republican voters, according to a new survey released earlier this month.

Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) published the findings of a survey that analyzed, among other things, how voters feel about the idea of placing illegal immigrants into militarized encampments as they await deportation.

The PRRI survey found that about 46 percent of Republican voters support such a policy. About 19 percent of Independents and eight percent of Democrats agree. Overall, about a quarter (26 percent) of Americans support this approach.

On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly promised to use the U.S., military to round up illegal immigrants and put them in detention camps using the Alien Enemies Act. His pledge came as the nation is facing a continual crisis at the southern border with hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers trying to enter the country.

These numbers represent a significant drop from when PRRI conducted a similar survey in May 2024. Back then, about 47 percent of all Americans supported militarized camps for illegal immigrants, including 79 percent of Republicans and 47 percent of Independents. Almost a quarter of Democrats (22 percent) agreed with the policy. (Read more from “New Poll Shows How Americans Feel About Trump’s Plan to Put Illegal Aliens in Militarized Camps” HERE)

The Top 10 Hoaxes the Propaganda Press Peddled in 2024

Americans who have lived through Donald Trump’s political career are no strangers to legacy media disinformation. From the Russia collusion hoax to the “very fine people” Charlottesville lie, the litany of dishonest info ops from left-wing activists masquerading as journalists is too long to count.

And despite Americans’ waning trust in their ability to report news accurately and fairly, these Democrat Party yes-men show no signs of stopping.

Like years before it, 2024 saw no shortage of media hijinks. Whether it was their coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign or participation in Democrats’ war on the Supreme Court, America’s propaganda press maintained its ethically bankrupt reputation. . .

1. Bloodbath

Taking Trump’s remarks out of context is one of legacy media’s favorite pastimes — and March’s “bloodbath” nontroversy was no exception.

Speaking to rallygoers in Ohio, the former and soon-to-be president warned that the U.S. automobile industry would face an economic “bloodbath” if Democrats won the White House in 2024. Media acolytes quickly jumped on the former president’s comments, which they distorted to make it appear as if Trump was threatening a literal bloodbath if he lost his reelection bid.

Report: Trump Team Orders Cabinet Nominees to Cease Social Media Posts Ahead of Confirmation Hearings

President-elect Donald Trump’s team is ordering cabinet nominees to cease all social media posts ahead of their confirmation hearings, according to reports.

The New York Post first reported this directive, noting that Susie Wiles, Trump’s former campaign manager and incoming chief of staff, sent out the order on Sunday. In the memo, she also noted that none of the nominees speak for Trump.

“While this instruction has been delivered previously, I am reiterating that no member of the incoming administration or Transition speaks for the United States or the President-elect himself,” Wiles wrote, urging nominees to “refrain from any public social media posts without prior approval of the incoming White House counsel.”

The Post confirmed that nominees seem to have been adhering to the ask, which was delivered December 29:

Those who could face tough questioning — such as former Democrats like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, tapped to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of National Intelligence, respectively — have also quieted down since Christmas.

The Growing List of Lawmakers Ditching the Democratic Party

The Democratic Party is hemorrhaging not just voters, but lawmakers too.

Most recently, Florida state Rep. Hillary Cassel announced Friday that she would be switching her party affiliation from Democrat to Republican because she believes in “their vision for a better, more prosperous Florida.”

“As a mother, I want to help build a world where our children are judged on their character and their actions, not on their labels,” Cassel said. “As a proud Jewish woman, I have been increasingly troubled by the Democratic Party’s failure to unequivocally support Israel and its willingness to tolerate extreme progressive voices that justify or condone acts of terrorism.

“I’m constantly troubled by the inability of the current Democratic Party to relate to everyday Floridians,” Cassel continued. “I can no longer remain in a party that doesn’t represent my values.” . . .

“I know I won’t always agree on every detail with every Republican, but I do know that I will always have input, collaboration, and respect,” Cassel said. “The House Republican Conference empowers members to find common-sense solutions to real issues facing all Floridians. They welcome different ideas and collaboration, which is the cornerstone of effective government. Those are my values.” (Read more from “The Growing List of Lawmakers Ditching the Democratic Party” HERE)

Trump States Where He Stands on H-1B Visas

President-elect Donald Trump has announced his position on the H-1B visa, which imports hundreds of thousands of foreign workers, mainly from India, to work specialty occupations. His statements starkly contrast his first term, where he emphasized the need to prioritize American workers and “America First” policies. His first administration implemented several measures, including stricter eligibility criteria, increased scrutiny of applications, and reduced visa approvals, to ensure that American workers were not displaced or underpaid.

Trump said he has many H-1B visas employed on his properties and believes in the “great” program.

“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas,” Trump told the New York Post. “That’s why we have them.”

Trump, who was previously critical of foreign worker visas during his first administration, agreed with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who argued that the program is crucial for enabling American companies to access highly skilled labor that may be scarce within the U.S. workforce and should be expanded to meet growing demands.

CBS News Journalist Says Most Underreported 2024 Story Was Biden’s ‘Obvious Cognitive Decline’

Veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford dinged news organizations for not thoroughly covering President Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” this year until it became unavoidable during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump over the summer.

Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, insisted stronger reporting on the topic could have changed the entire election as she responded to a question from “Face the Nation” moderator Major Garrett about the most underreported story in 2024.

“Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” she said on the Sunday morning show.

She then noted recent reporting by the Wall Street Journal that detailed how White House aides covered up Biden’s mental decline over the past four years.

The explosive report says staffers formed a tight circle around the 82-year-old Democrat to limit his in-person interactions. (Read more from “CBS News Journalist Says Most Underreported 2024 Story Was Biden’s ‘Obvious Cognitive Decline’” HERE)

‘Should Raise Some Red Flags’: Hundreds of Assisted Suicides Should Not Have Been Approved

The latest shocking “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) report from Canada reveals that 622 of the MAiD deaths that occurred in 2023 never should have been approved at all, as they did not meet the standard requirements by law.

In an analysis, CTV News correspondent Kamil Karamali noted that the 622 deaths fell into a category known as “Track 2,” in which the patient still had the possibility of living a long life, but chose MAiD for other reasons. However, he said, while a “terminal” illness is no longer necessary by law, the patient must still have a “serious or incurable illness, disease or disability,” and be facing “an advanced state of irreversible decline in capability,” and “have enduring and intolerable physical or psychological suffering that cannot be alleviated under conditions the person considers acceptable.”

According to Karamali, those 622 deaths did not meet these specifications.

Dr. Sonu Gaind, a psychiatry professor at the University of Toronto, highlighted one of the common problems with “assisted dying,” especially as it pertains to people who are not terminally ill.

“It’s particularly concerning for the path to MAID for disabled people who are not otherwise dying, because in that path, the nature of suffering parallels the traditional markers of suicide,” he told CTV News “That includes things like feeling a burden and a strong sense of loneliness. The StatCan report found that, in the 622 MAID cases where natural death was not ‘reasonably foreseeable,’ 47 per cent suffered from isolation or loneliness and 49 per cent perceived themselves to be a burden to family, friends and caregivers. The only reason they died last year was because they were provided MAID,” said Gaind. “We’re talking about people, in some cases, that had more than 10 years to live. That should raise some red flags.” (Read more from “‘Should Raise Some Red Flags’: Hundreds of Assisted Suicides Should Not Have Been Approved” HERE)

Hulking Trans Child Molester Repeatedly Sexually Assaulted Female Cellmate After Being Transferred to Women’s Prison: Suit

A former inmate at a Washington state women’s prison was repeatedly sexually assaulted by her hulking transgender cellmate — who was transferred to the prison after changing her gender identity, according to a shocking new lawsuit.

Mozzy Clark sued the state department of corrections in federal court last week for locking her in a cell with a 6-foot-4 convicted child molester who allegedly subjected her to months of stalking, threats of violence and sexual harassment and assault, according to the lawsuit.

The cellmate, Christopher Scott Williams, was convicted of sexually assaulting a young girl as a male, and was serving a separate sentence for domestic abuse.

Williams then petitioned to be recognized as female and be transferred to a women’s prison, according to the lawsuit.

When the state granted the request and placed Williams in a cell with Clark, her life became a living nightmare, she alleged. (Read more from “Hulking Trans Child Molester Repeatedly Sexually Assaulted Female Cellmate After Being Transferred to Women’s Prison: Suit” HERE)
