VIDEO: ‘Jesus Saves’ Shirt Is ‘Offending’ Mall of America Shoppers, Security Guard Says — And He Orders Man to Remove Shirt or Get Out of the Mall

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Cellphone video captured a confrontation involving a Mall of America security guard telling a man wearing a “Jesus Saves” T-shirt that his shirt is “offending” shoppers at the famously large mall in Bloomington, Minnesota — and the guard ordered the man to remove the shirt or leave the mall. . .

Alpha News — an independent outfit that covers news across the state that often goes unreported — said the confrontation took place last weekend, citing videos published on social media.

The outlet linked to a pair of clips showing the man talking with security guards near the mall’s rotunda, and Alpha News added that one of the videos was livestreamed Jan. 7 to Facebook.

The back of man’s shirt reads “Jesus is the only way” and includes the well-known “coexist” symbol crossed out, the outlet said.

“Jesus is associated with religion, and it’s offending people,” a security guard tells the man in one clip, adding that “people have been offended.”

Report: Suspect in Idaho Student Killings Had ‘Little Remorse’ as Teenager (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The man accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students reportedly shared dark thoughts online when he was a young person.

The suspect apparently wrote about being unable to feel emotion and claiming he could do “whatever I want with little remorse,” the New York Times reported Friday:

The new revelations about the suspect, Bryan Kohberger, come from posts he made on an online forum in which he discussed his mental health struggles, as well as from interviews with those who knew him and messages he sent to friends that were obtained by The New York Times. They paint a portrait of an anxious, isolated and depressed teenager who turned to heroin use before eventually getting clean and becoming fascinated with studying criminal psychology, saying then that he hoped to one day provide counseling for high-profile criminals.

VIDEO: Grown Men Showering With Minor Girls — As Young as 5 Years Old — At California YMCA

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California teen cried as she recalled seeing “a naked man” in her local YMCA, telling the city council in her San Diego suburb she’d been traumatized by the experience with the person she described as a trans woman.

Rebecca Philips, 17, said she was changing after swimming one day last month at the Santee YMCA when she spotted a naked trans woman in the changing rooms.

“As I was showering after my workout I saw a naked male in the women’s locker room,’ she told the Santee City Council. “I immediately went back into the shower, terrified, and hid behind their flimsy excuse for a curtain until he was gone.”

Philips said the policy of allowing trans women in the female locker rooms should be changed — adding she was especially worried her 5-year-old sister could be exposed to naked trans women at the YMCA, the Daily Mail reported. . .

Philips said she was reprimanded by YMCA staffers who told her the trans woman had every right to be in the YMCA female changing rooms, the Daily Mail said. (Read more from “Video: Grown Men Showering With Minor Girls — As Young as 5 Years Old — At California YMCA” HERE)

White House Continues to Dodge Questions About Biden’s Classified Document Scandal

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly deflected questions this week about the growing controversy surrounding classified documents that were found at the home and private office of President Joe Biden. . .

“Is the president willing to be interviewed by federal investigators about his handling of classified documents?” a reporter asked Jean-Pierre on Thursday.

“So, first, let me just say: I’m just not going to get into hypotheticals,” she responded. “This is something for the Department of —”

“It’s not a hypothetical question. There’s an investigation ongoing,” the reporter responded. “Will the president speak to investigators?”

“You’re asking me about something in the future, and I am telling you that I’m not going to get ahead of what the Department of Justice is going to decide,” Jean-Pierre claimed.

Dress Code Pondered in Light of Trans Teacher’s Disgusting Attire; Tucker Carlson Hammers the Insanity

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Kerry Lemieux is free to skydive with Z-cup plastic breasts in 2023, but will the Halton District School Board’s decision to create a dress code prevent the trans shop teacher from wearing the controversial attire that has put [him] in the spotlight.

In a major reversal that could possibly prevent Lemieux from wearing giant prosthetic breasts, the HDSB on Jan. 3 directed staff to develop a “professional standards of dress” policy.

Since September, Lemieux has taught at Oakville Trafalgar High School, wearing extra-large, retail-purchased breasts with artificial nipples under a tight top, along with flex shorts and a blonde wig. While many students and parents have expressed concern this actually mocks women and makes a mockery of the education experience, the board has supported the teacher’s right to dress in this manner. . .

“Be it resolved that the Director (of Education Curtis Ennis) develop a professionalism policy which outlines the HDSB’s expectations of all staff members, including the requirement to maintain appropriate and professional standards of dress and decorum in the classroom,” said the unanimous motion.

This report is expected to be completed by next month. Until then, Lemieux is free to dress as [he] has been seen in videos and pictures from inside the classroom, hallways, skydiving or more recently walking with a cast boot on a foot that suffered an unknown injury. While the instructor was seen teaching in several other HDSB schools in December, there was no sighting on Monday, the first day students returned to class after the Christmas holidays.

Tucker Carlson Says Brazilian Election Rigged, Compares Protests There to Jan. 6 (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tucker Carlson … claimed Brazil’s presidential election was rigged and said rioters who stormed government buildings in the capital city have reason to be angry.

Scores of supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed government buildings in Brasilia on Sunday. Many say he – and not President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (or, Lula) – won. About 1,500 arrests have been made in connection with the riots. . .

On Monday, Carlson, who conducted a softball interview with Bolsonaro in June, told his audience unequivocally that Brazil’s election was “very clearly” stolen.

“Consider what is happening tonight in Brazil,” he said. “Thanks to what was very clearly a rigged election, a convicted criminal – Lula da Silva – is now the president of the most important country in South America. Millions of people in Brazil understand exactly what happened. They know that their democracy has been hijacked, possibly forever.” . . .

“What’s happened in Brazil is likened to Jan. 6,” he continued. “And of course, populist leaders in this country are being blamed for it. ‘Oh, it was Trump and Steve Bannon who did it.’ That’s not true, but even if it were true, it would be just the tail-end of the story. It’d be the result of something that happened before. The obvious question is why are protestors in Brazil so angry?” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Says Brazilian Election Rigged, Compares Protests There to Jan. 6” HERE)

Chaos in Brazil: Protesters Storm Capital, Destroying Supreme Court and Congress (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thousands of opponents of socialist convicted felon President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva stormed his offices and the headquarters of the Congress and Supreme Federal Tribunal (STF) of Brazil on Sunday, reportedly demolishing the facades of two of the three buildings and causing “irreparable” damage to priceless artifacts in the chambers.

The riot in Brasilia occurred while Lula himself was in Sao Paulo state assessing the damage of recent floods. Lula, in a public statement following police action to subdue the protesters, announced an official “federal intervention” in Brasilia – consolidating the public security powers of several agencies into the hands of a hand-picked, top-level official – and accused police of acting in “bad faith” in failing to prevent the protesters from storming the buildings.

The incident is an offshoot of months of protests following the October presidential election that saw Lula narrowly defeat then-incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro in two rounds of voting. Most protesters support Bolsonaro but, more broadly, oppose Lula’s victory as illegitimate on several grounds, including his multiple convictions on charges of corrupt acts occurring during his first two terms as president. An audit of the 2022 runoff presidential election, which featured only Bolsonaro and Lula as candidates, by the Armed Forces of Brazil concluded that no guarantee could be made of the absence of fraud or irregularities.

Protesters also accuse the STF, particularly its head justice Alexandre de Moraes, of intervening in the election by censoring mentions of Lula’s corruption case and silencing Bolsonaro supporters through fines and police raids.

Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Testy Exchange Caught on Camera

/0 Comments/in , /by

A testy exchange between Representative Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican, and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, was caught on camera during the tense penultimate House speaker vote on Friday night.

C-SPAN cameras focused in on Boebert as she appeared to have an exchange with Greene during the 14th round of voting to see if Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, would be elected as House speaker.

In the clip that was shared to Twitter on Saturday, Greene could be seen reaching out to Bobert before the Colorado Republican looked down and appeared to mouth something before redirecting her eyes back in front of her.

Since being shared to the social media platform, the clip has been viewed more than 40,000 times as of Sunday morning. (Read more from “Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Testy Exchange Caught on Camera” HERE)

GOP Rep. Says McCarthy ‘Smugly Rejected’ Key Proposal That Would’ve Gotten Him 218 Votes; Here are the Major Concessions McCarthy Made to Win Speakership

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado said Tuesday that Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California “smugly rejected” a “common sense” proposal that would have secured him the speakership on the first ballot.

“I have been working for months behind the scenes to create unity,” Boebert told “Special Report” host Bret Baier. “Just last night two colleagues and myself walked into Kevin McCarthy’s office and presented him a very common sense proposal, a deal that got him 218 votes, the gavel on the first ballot and he smugly rejected that.”

McCarthy failed to garner the 218 votes needed to become speaker in three ballots Tuesday, receiving 203 votes in the first two ballots, before Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida switched his vote to Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio on the third ballot, leaving the California Republican with 202. Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York secured 212 votes from Democrats in all three ballots.

“It was very common-sense things like putting forward a border security bill. Putting forward a term limits bill. Having a measure in place where any member of Congress who offers an amendment to reduce the federal debt, well, that’s made in order,” Boebert continued. (Read more from “GOP Rep. Says McCarthy ‘Smugly Rejected’ Key Proposal That Would’ve Gotten Him 218 Votes” HERE)

Here are the Costly Concessions McCarthy Made to Win House Speaker

By Brian Bushard. McCarthy, who won the speakership after 15 rounds of voting, agreed to vote separately on the 12 different appropriation bills—from agriculture to defense spending to transportation—rather than allow them to be bundled together into an end-of-year omnibus spending bill. . .

McCarthy also agreed to cap discretionary spending at the levels they were at the beginning of the Biden Administration for both defense and domestic spending, as part of a commitment to balance the federal budget within 10 years. . .

In response to a letter from GOP members, McCarthy also agreed to create a subcommittee on the “Weaponization of the Federal Government,” which would be tasked with probing the federal government’s information collection on private individuals as well as its ongoing criminal investigations, potentially including the Department of Justice’s probe into classified documents at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate. . .

In one of his biggest concessions, McCarthy agreed to lower the number GOP conference members needed to start a process of removing the speaker, known as a “motion to vacate,” from five to one—even though he previously said he wouldn’t budge on the number, and some Republicans worry it could bog down the House with weekly power struggles.

McCarthy also agreed to keep the Congressional Leadership Fund—a McCarthy affiliated super PAC—out of open House primary races for seats considered safe, and to appoint far-right House Freedom Caucus members to seats on the House Rules Committee.

Also: He promised to give House members 72 hours to review bills before they come to the floor, to require a vote to raise the federal debt limit and to hold votes on congressional term limits and a border security plan, multiple outlets reported. (Read more HERE)

Matt Gaetz Demands Probe Into ‘Squatter’ Kevin McCarthy for ‘Occupying’ Speaker’s Office: ‘How Long Will He Remain?’

By Mediaite. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) wrote a letter to the Capitol Architect on Tuesday complaining about Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) “occupying” the speaker’s office.

In his letter, Gaetz noted McCarthy had failed earlier in the day to win the gavel after three rounds of voting and accused him of being a “squatter.” . . .

McCarthy’s bid for speaker was largely set back by Gaetz, who is among a group of far-right Republicans who vowed to oppose him for months. He will presumably try again to reach a majority Wednesday when the House reconvenes for more voting.

California’s Reparations Task Force Chair: Blacks Are Owed $1M Each, Homeless Should Be First in Line

/0 Comments/in , /by

Black Californians should each receive $1 million and black people who are homeless should be first in line, according to the state’s Reparations Task Force chair.

Kamila Moore claimed during an interview with Al Sharpton that the group found the state’s past redlining housing practices affecting the black community hurt people who are currently living on the streets, the Daily Mail reported Friday.

Initially, the group recommended the state shell out more than $200,000 to each black resident, the outlet continued:

Moore previously said economists on the panel estimated that black Californians descended from slaves were owed $1 million per person in reparations.

Moore, 30, noted that as the panel prepares for their final recommendations in July, they are weighing how to help the people who would need the money the most as the panel argues the payments would go on to ‘boost the economy.’
