Man Allegedly Poses as Minor to Lure and Fatally Shoot Convicted Pedophile

/2 Comments/in , /by

A 22-year-old Texan, identified as James Lewis Spencer, is facing murder charges after allegedly posing as a minor to lure and fatally shoot 37-year-old Sean Connery Showers, a convicted sex offender in Houston, Texas.

According to court documents reported by KHOU, Spencer had shared his intentions with a witness, claiming he knew how to track sex offenders using a phone app and expressing a desire to rob and harm them. When Spencer believed the authorities were not taking sufficient action, he allegedly decided to take matters into his own hands.

During a probable cause court hearing on Thursday, cellphone records revealed that Spencer and the victim had been in contact. The court documents suggest that Spencer, posing as a minor, engaged in discussions with Showers about his sexual history with minors before arranging to meet him. Showers agreed to meet with the intention to have sex with a minor.

The Houston Police Department launched an investigation after receiving a report of an unresponsive man in a ditch at 900 Northwood Street. Upon arrival, officers identified the victim as Showers, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The initial investigation indicated that Showers was walking along the roadway when a vehicle approached him, and someone from inside the vehicle shot him.

Further investigative efforts led authorities to identify Spencer as the suspect in the case, resulting in his arrest on Wednesday. A Harris County judge set Spencer’s bond at $250,000, and his bond conditions include 24-hour house arrest, a GPS monitor, and strict prohibitions on accessing firearms, ammunition, or weapons.

WATCH: Trump Explains ‘Dictator’ Comments

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said on this week’s broadcast of “Sunday Morning Futures” that he was just “having fun” when he said that he would be a dictator on day one if re-elected.

Host Maria Bartiromo asked, “You made a comment recently that you’d be a dictator for day one. And you said that you would close the border and drill, drill, drill. What specifically did you mean by that?”

Trump said, “Well, I think, you know, it was with Sean Hannity, and we were having fun. And I said, I’m going to be a dictator because he asked me, are you really going to be a dictator? I said, absolutely, I’m going to be a dictator for one day. I didn’t say from day one.” (Read more from “WATCH: Trump Explains ‘Dictator’ Comments” HERE)

Elon Musk Accuses Biden of Plotting One-Party State

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk took to his platform X to voice strong allegations against President Joe Biden, accusing him of pursuing a strategy to transform the United States into a one-party state through the legalization of a significant influx of illegal aliens.

In a tweet, Musk outlined what he characterized as Biden’s straightforward plan: “1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible. 2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state. That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective.”

Musk further elaborated on his concerns in another post, criticizing the low number of deportations and asserting that each deportation represents a lost vote. He contended that the Biden administration’s approach to immigration, coupled with minimal deportations, aligns with a broader strategy to establish a permanent political majority.

“This explains why there are so few deportations, as every deportation is a lost vote. As happened this week, you can literally assault police officers in broad daylight in New York, be released with no bail, give everyone the finger and still not be deported!! Outrageous,” Musk tweeted.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO engaged with a Twitter user who echoed his sentiments, stating that Biden has the power to stop the surge in illegal immigration but chooses not to, leading to his allegations that the flood of aliens is intentional. Musk responded, acknowledging that he was slow to grasp the situation, stating, “I was embarrassingly slow to figure it out.”

Oregon Supreme Court Bars Ten GOP Senators From Re-Election

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Oregon Supreme Court ruled on Thursday to disqualify ten Republican lawmakers from running for re-election. This move comes after the GOP senators staged an extended walkout last year, lasting approximately six weeks, in protest of dem-proposed bills.

The court’s decision aligns with the requests from Democrats who sought a ballot ban for the GOP lawmakers. The ruling upholds the secretary of state’s authority to disqualify these senators under Measure 113, a voter-approved measure passed in 2022. This measure empowers the state constitution to prevent lawmakers from seeking re-election if they accumulate more than ten unexcused absences.

The walkout conducted by Republican senators disrupted the legislative session and caused delays in the consideration of numerous bills. Measure 113 aimed to address such boycotts by enforcing consequences for prolonged, unexcused absences.

The Oregon Senate Republican Caucus expressed strong criticism of the Supreme Court’s decision, accusing the court of favoring Democrats and union interests. They contended that the ruling effectively terminated the service of ten Republican senators, constituting one-third of the Oregon Senate.

Five of the banned lawmakers, including Senators Tim Knopp, Daniel Bonham, Suzanne Weber, Dennis Linthicum, and Lynn Findley, filed a lawsuit challenging the secretary of state’s decision:

Five lawmakers, among the ten who are banned from re-election, filed a lawsuit over the secretary of state’s decision. Republican Senators Tim Knopp, Daniel Bonham, Suzanne Weber, Dennis Linthicum, and Lynn Findley are named on the document.

“We obviously disagree with the Supreme Court’sCourt’s ruling,” Knopp, the chamber’s minority leader, said. “But more importantly, we are deeply disturbed by the chilling impact this decision will have to crush dissent.”

Weber said she was disappointed but not surprised the state’s Democrat leaders— Gov. Kate Brown and Gov. Tina Kotek— sided in favor of the “political rhetoric rather than their own precedent.”

“Every legal mind I’ve heard from, regardless of political leanings, has affirmed that when there is only one interpretation for the plain language of the law, that is final,” Bonham said. “The language incorporated into the Oregon Constitution was clear, yet the Supreme Court ruled that voter intent, which cannot be determined by any metric, supersedes the Constitution. There is no justice in a political court.” (Townhall)

The amendment specifies that lawmakers cannot run “for the term following the election after the member’s current term is completed.” The senators argued that they could seek another term, given that a senator’s term ends in January, while elections take place the previous November.

Report: Here’s How McCarthy Is Seeking Revenge for His Ouster

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) may be out of Congress but his work is not done. After his historic ouster as speaker of the House, McCarthy is reportedly planning revenge against the Republicans who joined Democrats in giving him the boot.

McCarthy allies are looking to recruit primary challengers to the “Gaetz Eight,” the nickname for the members of Congress who joined Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) in pushing McCarthy out of his job.

The McCarthy revenge campaign is ready to marshal the former speaker’s considerable donor network on behalf of Republican primary candidates who are deemed strong enough to pose a credible threat to one of the eight. […]

Behind the scenes, McCarthy allies have identified three of the Gaetz Eight as the most vulnerable in primaries and thus, the ripest targets: Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), Bob Good (R-Va.) and Eli Crane (R-Ariz.). Mace and Good already have strong challengers, but Crane still lacks a compelling prospective candidate to take him on.

That quiet work shows McCarthy’s appetite for payback remains intense, even months after his October ouster as speaker and December departure from Congress. It also illustrates that even out of office, the former speaker and his supporters can make life miserable for his detractors — a further sign that the House GOP power struggle between burn-it-down hardliners and more establishment conservatives is alive and well.

[McCarthy ally Brian O.] Walsh is acting with McCarthy’s blessing. While the former speaker is not involved in the day-to-day work of the project, he is briefed on its progress, as are key donors, according to a person familiar with the effort who was granted anonymity to discuss it. (Politico)

So, That’s Why E. Jean Carroll Allegedly Supported Christine Blasey Ford

/3 Comments/in , /by

We just must embrace the suck on this one: E. Jean Carroll is going to be in the news for a while. She won’t be omnipresent, but like a nasty rash or the seasonal flu, she’ll come and go since she’s won over $80 million in her lawsuits against former President Donald Trump. Ms. Carroll has made it clear that she intends to do all she can to defeat Mr. Trump come November and will devote a significant portion of her new fortune to a cause that the former president hates.

It’s an obsession that’s borderline creepy, but she’s a victim in the eyes of the media. Yet, new messages from Tara Reade, the woman who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, paints a different picture. It’s one of those instances where you must be cognizant that everyone involved here has a political angle.

Then again, while the Me Too movement was in its prime, Reade’s allegations were dismissed. In contrast, Christine Blasey Ford’s unsubstantiated allegations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 were taken as gospel by the media and Democrats. And would you be shocked that Ms. Carroll stood behind Ford, not because she was an alleged fellow victim of abuse, but because she saw this Supreme Court showdown as a battle in the war to protect Roe v. Wade? I know—not shocking at all. Reade shared images of the alleged exchanges she had with Carroll. The Daily Signal had the story:

Tara Reade, the woman who accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault during the #MeToo movement, posted screenshots of her alleged September 2021 direct messages with Carroll, in which Carroll allegedly said: “Tara, I tweeted about Dr. Ford because of Brett Kavanaugh’s blowtorching of Roe v. Wade. Some day you and I must have tea together!”

That message came in response to Reade’s plea for support from her fellow #MeToo accuser, according to more screenshots reviewed by The Daily Signal.

“Tara! Tara! You are a strong, valiant, and feisty woman,” Carroll had allegedly messaged Reade. “The Haters are swarming us all today. I am just staying off of Twitter and ignoring it!”

“You tweeted your support for Dr. Ford,” Reade responded. “That is why I asked. It is hard and I do not always feel strong but rather isolated. Thank you and have a good night.”

E. Jean Carroll, who just won $83.3 million in damages in her defamation trial against former President Donald Trump, allegedly said that she supported Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh out of a desire to protect Roe v. Wade.

Tara Reade, the woman who accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault during the #MeToo movement, posted screenshots of her alleged September 2021 direct messages with Carroll, in which Carroll allegedly said: “Tara, I tweeted about Dr. Ford because of Brett Kavanaugh’s blowtorching of Roe v. Wade. Some day you and I must have tea together!”

That message came in response to Reade’s plea for support from her fellow #MeToo accuser, according to more screenshots reviewed by The Daily Signal.

“Tara! Tara! You are a strong, valiant, and feisty woman,” Carroll had allegedly messaged Reade. “The Haters are swarming us all today. I am just staying off of Twitter and ignoring it!”

“You tweeted your support for Dr. Ford,” Reade responded. “That is why I asked. It is hard and I do not always feel strong but rather isolated. Thank you and have a good night.”

“The statement speaks for itself,” Reade told The Daily Signal in a Twitter direct message Monday. “It sounds like she was supporting the political cause not the alleged victim.”

Supreme Court Allows West Point to Factor Race in Admissions Amid Ongoing Lawsuit

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Supreme Court has granted permission for West Point to continue factoring race into its admissions process, allowing the military academy to maintain its current policies while facing an ongoing lawsuit. The decision was delivered as part of an emergency appeal seeking changes to West Point’s admissions process, and it comes at a crucial time as the academy is in the process of selecting candidates for its next entering class, the Class of 2028.

The recent order, issued without any noted dissents, emphasized that it should not be interpreted as expressing a view on the merits of the constitutional question surrounding race-conscious admissions. The Supreme Court’s conservative majority had previously ruled in June that such admissions plans violate the U.S. Constitution, focusing on cases from Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. However, the court explicitly excluded West Point and other service academies from its decision.

The lawsuit against West Point was initiated by Students for Fair Admissions, the same group behind cases against Harvard and North Carolina. The organization contends that West Point’s admissions process, which takes race into account, is illegal. While lower courts had declined to halt the admissions policies at West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy during the ongoing lawsuits, only the West Point ruling has been appealed to the Supreme Court.

“Every day that passes between now and then is one where West Point, employing an illegal race-based admissions process, can end another applicant’s dream of joining the Long Gray Line,” argued lawyers for Students for Fair Admissions in a court filing.

The Biden administration, represented by Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, emphasized in its brief that a “diverse” Army officer corps has long been considered a national-security imperative.

“For more than forty years, our Nation’s military leaders have determined that a diverse Army officer corps is a national-security imperative and that achieving that diversity requires limited consideration of race in selecting those who join the Army as cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point.” Prelogar stated.

Unsurprisingly, the Biden administration supports the illegal consideration of race in selecting cadets at West Point to achieve this diversity.

Swing-State Law May Enable Non-Citizens to Vote in 2024 Presidential Election, Experts Warn

/0 Comments/in , , /by

One of the most important states in the 2024 presidential election has a loophole in its election procedures that could allow non-citizens to cast federal election ballots, experts told the Daily Caller.

Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes crafted the state’s Election Procedures Manual (EPM) to permit individuals whose citizenship cannot be verified to register as a “federal-only” voter and cast ballots in upcoming elections.

“An otherwise eligible registrant who does not submit DPOC (proof of citizenship) and whose U.S. citizenship cannot be verified via AZMVD records or other record in the statewide voter registration database is registered as a ‘federal-only’ voter. A ‘federal-only’ voter is eligible to vote solely in races for federal office in Arizona (including the Presidential Preference Election (PPE)),” the EPM says on page three of its first chapter.

Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told the Daily Caller he believes Arizona’s two-tiered voter registration system could enable illegal migrants to vote in the upcoming elections.

“I think it’s absolutely a possibility because if you aren’t requiring proof of citizenship, you’re simply going on people’s word that oh yeah I’m a U.S. citizen, you’re going to get aliens who register and who vote,” von Spakovsky told the Caller.

Joe Biden Is Reportedly Running White House Based On His Favorite Cable News Show

/8 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s obsession with his favorite MSNBC show influences how he runs things around the White House, Axios reported.

Biden frequently tunes into MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” hosted by the married couple Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, and even uses the show’s frequent guests as consultants, according to Axios. Throughout the day, Biden will ask his staff if they saw different segments and bits that aired on the four-hour show — so much so that some aides have begun to tune into the show to anticipate their boss’s questions, the outlet reported.

The president previously brought experienced reporter Mike Barnicle, former diplomat Richard Haass and historian Jon Meacham, who are regulars on the program, to reportedly consult with him, according to Axios. Meacham has aided the President with multiple speeches, the outlet reported. Other regulars on the show have reportedly been invited to off-the-record discussions with policy experts.

A number of Biden’s top officials believe the show gives the president more of a balanced review than other programs, a White House aide told Axios.

Though Biden’s favorite, the show can be critical of the president. In January, Scarborough appeared stumped that Biden had not fired Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for keeping his hospitalization from the president.

State Bars Transgender Claims in Driver’s Licenses

/0 Comments/in , /by

The state of Florida will no longer allow people to put false information about their sex on their driver’s licenses.

Florida will prohibit people who identify as transgender from changing the sex on their state driver’s license, according to a report by NBC News.

Robert Kynoch, deputy executive director of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, reportedly told the department’s executive director on Friday that the department will repeal a clause in the Driver License Operations Manual that allowed people to list a false sex on their licenses.

Kynoch explained that the department doesn’t have the authority to enforce a provision that allows an individual to change their sex on their driver’s license.

He added that the term “gender” in the clause “does not refer to a person’s internal sense of his or her gender role or identification, but has historically and commonly been understood as a synonym for ‘sex,’ which is determined by innate and immutable biological and genetic characteristics.” (Read more from “State Bars Transgender Claims in Driver’s Licenses” HERE)
