Say hello to Demetrius Minor, who was 16 when he was sentenced to 30 years in prison after a plea bargain on manslaughter and carjacking charges in 2011 in Camden County, New Jersey:
A Gloucester Township teenager has admitted to killing his foster father in July.
Demetrius Minor, 16, pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated manslaughter in the July 11 death of Theotis Butts. Minor also pleaded guilty to carjacking in connection with a May 29 incident in which he ordered a couple out of their Pontiac Grand Prix at gunpoint and drove away with their vehicle . . .
The May carjacking incident began shortly before 5 p.m. when Minor approached a couple as they entered their vehicle near their Gloucester Township home. Minor approached the couple and pointed a Glock .45 in the face of the woman. The couple’s infant child was in the car at the time of the incident, and they were able to get the baby out of the car before Minor sped away in their car. The woman’s husband tried to chase Minor in another vehicle but lost track of him. About two hours later in Bridgeton, local police officers who had been alerted to the car theft spotted the Grand Prix and pursued. That pursuit ended when Minor jumped out of the vehicle and escaped.
A warrant had been issued for Minor’s arrest in connection with the carjacking when he broke into Butts’ home on the first block of Hemlock Drive in Gloucester Township on July 11. Butts, a 67-year-old retiree, had taken Minor in from the foster system, though Minor was no longer living there. According to township police records, Minor had burglarized the home numerous times after moving out. Minor stabbed Butts several times and fled to New York City.
A transgender woman behind bars at a New Jersey women’s prison impregnated two fellow inmates, prompting officials to move her to a different facility, a report revealed Saturday.
Demi Minor, 27, was moved last month from the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women to the Garden State Youth Correctional Facility — a prison for young adults in Burlington County, a New Jersey Department of Corrections spokesman told NJ.com.
Minor, who is serving a 30-year sentence for manslaughter, is in a vulnerable unit in the new facility where she is the only woman, the spokesman said.
Minor wrote in a blog post on the website Justice 4 Demi on July 15 that she was placed on suicide watch at the new facility “due to the fact that I had hung myself in the van.” She claimed guards denied her request to be strip-searched by a female DOC officer.
“[NJDOC] have violated my right to be safe and free from sexual harassment, by putting me in one of the most violent youth Correctional facilities,” Minor wrote. “While living here at GYSC, I have found my self (sic) under attack by young inmates who are immature and just plain ignorant towards a person like me.”
She said she was briefly transferred to New Jersey State Prison, where she “was called he and him well over 30 times,” adding, “this has not happened to me in years being referred to primarily as a man.”
An earlier post stated that Minor was forcibly removed from the female prison and beaten during the transfer. The DOC declined to comment on the accusations but told NJ.com it was investigating.
“NJDOC cannot comment on any active investigations,” the agency said. “The Department has zero tolerance for abuse, and the safety and security of the incarcerated population and staff are of critical importance.”
Minor’s move comes months after it was revealed that she had impregnated two inmates while locked up at the female prison after engaging in “consensual sexual relationships with another incarcerated person.”
In 2021, New Jersey enacted a policy to allow prisoners to be housed in accordance with their preferred gender identity. The policy, which must be in place for at least a year, was part of a settlement from a civil rights suit brought by a woman forced to live in men’s prisons for 18 months.
The DOC told NJ.com it still operates under the policy but “the department is currently reviewing the policy for housing transgender incarcerated persons with the intention of implementing minor modifications.”
Housing decisions, the spokesman said, “are made within the parameters of the settlement agreement which requires consideration of gender identity and the health and safety of the individual.”
Minor will be eligible for parole in 2037, according to the outlet.
Notice that New Jersey did not defend the “civil rights” lawsuit in court, but rather reached an out-of-court settlement, so that the prison policy is not guided by any actual court ruling. There is no judge’s decision we can cite as responsible for this lunacy. Instead, it seems, New Jersey officials simply outsourced their prison policy to the ACLU and, gosh, who could have foreseen that this would produce bad results? Unexpectedly!
One of the things about political tribalism is that it encourages participants to think of politics as a fight for survival — Us and Them — in which there are no rules. The Democratic Party has made identity politics part of their core belief system, which interwoven with the strategic idea that demographic trends (particularly the growth of non-white minority populations) is the key to their obtaining uncontested political hegemony. This explains, among other things, why Donald Trump’s desire to enforce U.S. immigration law was regarded by Democrats as a species of “hate,” because they view unrestricted immigration as a means of rapidly growing the Hispanic which, in turn, they expect will ultimately provide Democrats with an insuperable electoral majority. This is not a “conspiracy theory”; it’s a synopsis of what has happened to California over the past 30 years, for example.
Democrats view illegal aliens as part of their party’s constituency, because of what we may dub The Future Democratic Voters Project, and as a consequence, will do anything necessary to prevent these law-breaking foreigners from being deported or otherwise inconvenienced. This is why, for example, Joe Biden has insisted that Border Patrol agents must be punished despite the fact that an investigation cleared them of wrongdoing — it’s a symbolic gesture of anti-Trump solidarity. And it’s also a major contributing factor to Trump Derangement Syndrome quite generally. Of all the things Trump did, what was really unforgivable from a Democratic (and establishment GOP) point of view was that he threatened to break up the Bipartisan Open Borders Consensus of which the late John McCain was a leader. Meanwhile, in Ohio . . .
WATCH: The mother of the Ohio 10/y rape victim tells Telemundo’s @MariaVargasPion that the child “is fine”, and “everything they say about (Gerson Flores) is a lie.” pic.twitter.com/Vtpyn404g7
This appears to confirm my thesis of a domestic situation wherein the confessed rapist is also the paramour of the victim’s mother (other familial relation is possible but less likely). Unfortunately, I saw many such cases while working as a court interpreter.
Other questions: what was the time gap between the initial reporting of the rape and the filing of criminal charges? Why did the referring abortion provider not report the rape to authorities? Was the child forced to live with her rapist in furtherance of an abortion narrative?
Journalists asking the important questions? Wow, what a concept!
Bonilla’s belief that (a) the mother of the girl is also an illegal alien, (b) the child rapist Gershon Fuentes is the family’s primary breadwinner, and therefore (c) the mother didn’t want Fuentes arrested for raping the girl, because (d) the whole family might get deported back to the sh**hole country they came from — probably explains a lot about how this story played out. The Indiana abortionist Dr. Caitlin Bernard apparently violated patient privacy laws by telling the media about this case, which she spun as proving why Ohio’s “extreme” abortion law was wrong. However, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost says the law has a “medical emergency” provision that would have permitted the girl to get an abortion (presumably because she is so young that pregnancy and childbirth would be traumatic). Is it possible that the girl was referred to an out-of-state clinic because Dr. Bernard was known to be “cooperative” in such situations? According to Fox News, in her paperwork on the case, Dr. Bernard claimed that the 10-year-old had been impregnated by another minor, i.e., she wasn’t really a victim of rape, so no criminal investigation, please? Selling this tale as a moral defense of unlimited abortion “rights” would have been more complicated if all the facts of the case were known, so in talking to reporters Dr. Bernard didn’t mention anything that would lead readers to suspect that the “Ohio girl” was actually a Mexican girl, probably in the country illegally, who was raped by her mother’s 27-year-old illegal alien boyfriend from Guatemala.
This explains the vagueness of the original story, which caused many of us to suspect it was a hoax: If a 10-year-old girl is pregnant, a crime has been committed, but the story said nothing about whether the child rapist had been arrested. And then, eventually, we learned that it was not until Tuesday — the day after PJM’s Megan Fox and Ohio Attorney General Yost appeared on Fox News — that cops arrested the rapist:
A detective testified Wednesday at an initial court appearance for the 27-year-old suspect that Columbus police learned about the girl’s pregnancy after her mother alerted Franklin County Children Services on June 22, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
Look at the calendar: Police were informed on Wednesday, June 22, but it was not until Tuesday, July 12, nearly three weeks later, that Fuentes was arrested. This raises more questions, including whether it was coincidental that Fuentes wasn’t arrested until afterMegan Fox and Dave Yost went on Fox News to raise hell about this story.
Despite everything going on here — the one-source story based on the word of an Indiana abortionist, the delay in arresting the perpetrator, the role of Biden’s open-border policy in enabling this criminal atrocity — still the media continue to act as if it’s a “gotcha” for Republicans:
All of these takes are so wrong that one supposes there must be a central campaign to organize this deliberate wrongness. Are Republicans “shocked a 10-year-old can get pregnant,” as NBC News claims? As if pregnant 10-year-olds are so ordinary — so commonplace — that we should not be shocked? Oh, by the way, while I’m at it, I should mention that this girl just turned 10, so it’s likely that her mother’s Guatemalan boyfriend got her pregnant when she was only nine, and may have been abusing the girl for who knows how long before the pregnancy occurred. And, as I said in my first post on this subject (“A Story Too Good to Check?” July 4), I actually did some research:
The extreme youth of the alleged victim is what made the headline so shocking, and I actually checked the National Institutes of Health to make sure I wasn’t alone in finding this highly unusual. The median age of menarche (i.e., onset of menstruation, generally taken as meaning when a female becomes physically capable of pregnancy) in the United States is 11.9, about three months earlier than in the 1990s. About 10% of females reach menarche by age 10. Precocious puberty is slightly correlated with earlier sexual activity — the median age of first intercourse is 15.4 for girls reaching menache by age 10, compared to 16.6 for girls reaching menarche at age 14 or older. In general, blacks and Hispanics reach menarche earlier than white girls, but the differences are not dramatic.
Still, a 10-year-old girl getting pregnant is rare enough in the United States that I had difficulty finding any statistical data on the phenomenon. When you’re talking about something with far less than a 1% probability, good luck finding reliable data.
* March 2009: A 10-year-old Haitian girl in Lantana, Florida, became pregnant after a 33-year-old man [Fede Datilus] raped her when she was 9. Her father learned of her pregnancy only when he took her to the clinic when she suffered labor contractions on March 18, 2009. The same day, she gave birth naturally to a full-term boy. . . . She confided that she had been afraid that she and her father would be deported to Haiti — a threat the rapist had used against her. Datilus was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a minor under 12 years, to which 5 years for impregnating her was added.
* April 2008: Isabel Chasearez’s 10-year-old daughter, from St. Anthony, Idaho, gave birth by cesarean section to a girl weighing approximately 6 lb (2.7 kg) at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg after her mother’s boyfriend [Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez] raped her. The man, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, was jailed on one felony count of rape with impregnation; Chasearez was jailed as well for failing to provide proper prenatal care. Juarez was sentenced to 5 years to life.
* April 2006: A young girl in Abbeville, South Carolina, gave birth by cesarean section. Her 26-year-old stepfather, William Edward Ronca, raped her. The baby was placed up for adoption. Ronca admitted to having molested the girl over a two-year period and was sentenced to 25 years in prison and is currently incarcerated in the Allendale Correctional Institution.
Three times in more than 20 years. If you went all the way back to 1969 (i.e, more than 50 years), you’d only add five more cases to the list.
Pregnant 10-year-olds are very, very rare in the United States, but somewhat more common in Latin America and, while it would obviously be unfair to impugn the culture of an entire continent based on a relative handful of cases, a few examples will perhaps suffice to make the point:
BOLIVIA, 2010 — A 10-year-old girl from El Torno gave birth by cesarean section to a girl weighing 2.3 kg (5.1 lb) at the Instituto Maternológico Percy Boland in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Three of the girl’s brothers raped her. They were 15, 17, and 19. The youngest one was her child’s biological father.
BRAZIL, 2012 — In late December 2011, Antônio Lisboa Filho, age 28, discovered that his ten-and-a-half-year-old daughter, whom he had been raping regularly since she was eight, was 4 months pregnant. He fled from Coroatá, Maranhão with his wife Maria Alves Conceição and their other children, abandoning the girl with her maternal grandmother, Francisca Maria Conceição. Conceição alerted authorities of the rape and the parents’ subsequent escape. As the pregnancy had advanced past the legal cut-off date for abortions, the girl delivered the baby via cesarean section in early May 2012, a month before term. Police also suspected the man of raping the girl’s 8-year-old sister.
PERU, 2012 — Laura Marina Villanueva’s older sister’s 45-year-old companion, Gaudencio Castañeda Pulido, a former soldier and her neighbor, raped the girl three times, just before her birthday on June 24; he had previously impregnated the girl’s then-15-year-old sister. Her pregnancy was discovered in late September, at 19 weeks, by chance after she was admitted for a snake bite. Castañeda Pulido went on the run when the discovery was reported in the media and continued threatening to kill the girl and her mother, Nidia Villanueva Tolentino. On January 24, 2012, she delivered a 2.21 kilograms (4.9 lb) boy by cesarean section, whom she named Justin, after singer Justin Bieber. Castañeda Pulido was sentenced to 35 years in jail.
PARAGUAY, 2015 — The 10-year-old girl was brought to an Asunción hospital by her mother, who believed that she had a tumor, where doctors discovered that she was five months pregnant and alerted authorities. They told the mother that her daughter’s life was at risk and she requested permission from the Paraguayan government for an abortion, which was denied. The case caused debate nationally and abroad about Paraguay’s strict anti-abortion laws. The stepfather fled, but was arrested in Boquerón, Caazapá Department. He denied paternity but a DNA test came out positive. Mainumby’s mother had denounced Benítez for sexual abuse of her daughter four times in the previous year, yet authorities never intervened. After the pregnancy’s discovery, she was herself arrested and charged with negligence and sexual abuse of a child, and sentenced to two months in prison for the former.
This list could be extended quite a bit, because 10-year-old girls in Latin America have given birth to more than 20 babies since 2004. As I say, one can’t condemn an entire continent’s population based on a few extreme cases, but my point is that when I saw a story about a pregnant 10-year-old in Ohio, I assumed either (a) the story was phony or (b) this case involved immigrants, probably from Latin America.
So, what was presented by the media as a morality tale about the importance of abortion “rights” turns out to be, instead, a story about social problems caused by illegal immigration. Ace of Spades offers some enlightened legal commentary:
Question: If this mother had some kind of deal permitting this man sexual access to her nine year old child, and then couldn’t decide if she wanted to abort his baby or not… is this really the kind of thing we have to contort ourselves writing exceptions and corner-cases in the law to cover?
Does the law have to take into consideration every single monstrous perversion the human mind can contemplate?
And note that the Attorney General already stated he believes that this was all a lie from the start — that Ohio’s abortion law contains an “emergency medical exception” clause that would cover this case.
A thread collected at Twichy notes that we are discovering that there are quite a few r@pes of both the forcible and statutory kind which are never detected or punished — because Planned Parenthood dodges its reporting requirements and, of course, “disposes of the evidence.”
There are no “winners” in these stories, you see. The tribalism of identity politics inspired the media to try to score points at the expense of Republicans for outlawing abortion, to which we naturally objected and, once the facts were known, it seemed it might more appropriately be scored a loss for Democrats, as it is their open-borders policy that permitted this to happen in Ohio (instead of Mexico or Guatemala or some other miserable sh**thole country where such atrocities seem to be more common). It does no good for us to clutch our pearls and bemoan the media’s politically motivated promotion of misleading narratives, when the real problem is that the Democratic Party has irreversibly committed itself to every evil thing imaginable — from transgender toddlers to taxpayer-funded late-term abortion to transforming the country by importing millions of impoverished foreigners (who, of course, are expected to vote Democrat). They are the Party of Evil, the Party of Crime, the Party of Perversion. And our so-called “mainstream” media are merely Democratic operatives with bylines.
A Columbus man has been charged with impregnating a 10-year-old Ohio girl, whose travel to Indiana to seek an abortion led to international attention following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade and activation of Ohio’s abortion law.
(“A Columbus man.” Gotcha.)
Gershon Fuentes, 27, whose last known address was an apartment on Columbus’ Northwest Side, was arrested Tuesday after police say he confessed to raping the child on at least two occasions. He’s since been charged with rape, a felony of the first degree in Ohio.
Columbus police were made aware of the girl’s pregnancy through a referral by Franklin County Children Services that was made by her mother on June 22, Det. Jeffrey Huhn testified Wednesday morning at Fuentes’ arraignment. On June 30, the girl underwent a medical abortion in Indianapolis, Huhn said.
(My apologies for suspecting that this story was entirely made-up, but pregnant 10-year-olds are very rare in the United States, and the lack of corroborating detail in the media accounts led me to think this was like the “hate crime” hoax perpetrated by Jussie Smollett.)
Huhn also testified that DNA from the clinic in Indianapolis is being tested against samples from Fuentes, as well as the child’s siblings, to confirm contribution to the aborted fetus.
Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Cynthia Ebner said the case did not warrant Fuentes — who is believed to be undocumented — to be held without bond.
(Don’t you love the euphemism “believed to be undocumented” as a substitute for the plain English phrase “illegal alien”?)
Ebner said a high bond was necessary, however, due to Fuentes being a possible flight risk and for the safety of the child involved. Before being arrested, Huhn and Det. David Phillips collected a saliva sample from Fuentes, according to a probable cause statement. Ebner set a $2 million bond for Fuentes, who is being held in the Franklin County jail.
So now the liberals who elected Joe Biden, to support a policy of open borders, will raise money to bail out the child rapist Fuentes, who will then flee back to his miserable Third World homeland where pregnant 10-year-olds are significantly more common for obvious reasons. And the only “moral of the story” that the media will allow us to conclude is that ABORTION SHOULD ALWAYS BE LEGAL BECAUSE ZOMG! A WOMAN’S RIGHT TO CHOOSE! NO UTERUS, NO OPINION!
UPDATE: An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) source has confirmed to Fox News that Fuentes is an illegal alien from Guatemala.
See this woman here? Stay away from her. She’s trouble.
For days, the media has been going berserk about Jose Alba, 61, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic who was working July 1 in a bodega (which is what they call a mom-and-pop convenience store in New York City) when he was attacked and responded by fatally stabbing his attacker. Even though the self-defense case seems very strong, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg (who, of course, was elected with money from George Soros) decided to charge Alba with second-degree murder, and had him jailed at Riker’s Island for six days on $250,000 bond before a judge reduced the bond to $50,000 and Alba was released last Thursday.
For more than a week, I’ve kind of half paid attention to this story, but it was not until today that I understood why this craziness happened — it’s that woman in the picture who caused the whole thing. She went into the bodega with her 10-year-old daughter and went to buy the girl a bag of chips when her Electronic Benefits Transfer card (EBT, which has replaced old-fashioned food stamps as a means of feeding the poor) got declined at the register. Alba, who was working the register, then took the bag of chips from the girl. This enraged the woman:
“You can’t touch my daughter. Don’t snatch that out of my daughter, you f–-king piece of sh–!”
Alba is not seen in the footage taking away the chips.
The woman goes on to say “I’m gonna bring my n– down here and he gonna f–k you up. My n— is gonna come down here right now and f–k you up!”
Alba says “That’s not my fault, it’s not working.” He continues to ring up sales, telling one customer of the girlfriend, “She don’t have money.”
It was the first of the month, which is when people get their food stamps (now EBT) in many places, but this woman “don’t have money,” as Alba said. And I don’t know what the situation was, but I know how I feel when, for whatever reason, I try to use my cash card and the transaction is declined. How I feel is embarrassed. Like, “What? I just got paid. Are you sure? Hang on, let me go call my wife,” and then go outside and have that phone conversation, trying to figure out what happened.
Never once in my life have I gotten angry at the clerk because a transaction was declined. It’s obviously not the clerk’s fault. Maybe it’s my wife’s fault, but probably it’s my fault, but never — not once — has it occurred to me to blame the clerk. What was this woman’s problem?
“I’m gonna bring my n– down here and he gonna f–k you up.”
Her n-word was Austin Simon, a 32-year-old with a lengthy criminal history, with arrests for robbery, assault and domestic violence. He went to state prison after being convicted in 2016 for assaulting a police officer. And somewhere along the line, Simon made the ultimately fatal mistake of getting involved with this crazy woman who starts a fight with a bodega clerk because her EBT card got declined for a bag of potato chips.
Simon shows up at the bodega, starts shoving Alba around and — surprise! — Alba grabs a box cutter and stabs Simon to death.
All because this woman’s EBT card got declined. And despite the fact that she was directly responsible for her boyfriend’s death — “I’m gonna bring my n– down here and he gonna f–k you up.” — this woman still apparently didn’t comprehend that it was entirely her fault:
The video shows a bloody Simon laying on the bodega floor and his girlfriend crying out, “That was over $3. Three f–king dollars. He snatched something out of my daughter…please help him.”
Oh, wait, ma’am — just five minutes earlier, you were telling this clerk how your n-word was going to f–k him up, but now that your n-word is bleeding out on the floor, you decide that maybe dying over “three f–king dollars” wasn’t worth it? Would have been OK with you, I assume, if your felon boyfriend had beaten that clerk into a coma, but when it turns out the old guy was capable of defending himself, suddenly it’s not fair?
Actions, consequences, some assembly required.
You know this lady has to be a Biden voter, right? And as for why Bragg decided to charge the old guy with murder, in what was clearly a case of self-defense, Ace explains: “Because the criminal class is among the Democrats’ most important constituencies.” Yes, and women who go crazy when their EBT cards get declined are another key constituency.
As any student of logic knows, it is very difficult to prove a negative, so I hesitate to say that the latest developments have definitively debunked the sensational story about a 10-year-old Ohio girl going to neighboring Indiana for an abortion. I first called attention to this story (“A Story Too Good to Check?”) on July 4, noting the lack of law enforcement comment as raising suspicions about the story told by abortionist Dr. Caitlin Bernard of Indianapolis. A day later, on July 5, Megan Fox of PJMedia detailed the many “red flags” in the story on her Twitter account:
The story about a 10 yr old pregnant girl who had to go from Ohio to IN for an abortion gives me serious pause for a number of reasons. There are many red flags.?I’m going to detail them here. pic.twitter.com/1PkzmvfzRS
? #2 An unnamed alleged “child abuse” doctor called Dr. Caitlyn Bernard (an abortionist in Indiana) to ask for help. But any doctor who knows of abuse would be required to also call law enforcement. There should be a criminal investigation going involving Ohio DFS and police.
? #4 The article first published in the Indy Star, a local Ohio paper’s site but in record time was picked up by huge international press. On the 2nd, The Hill and Newsweek had it and by the 3rd, The Guardian had it, and by the 4th it was on TMZ, reaching all the kids.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and any experienced editor would have spotted the biggest problem with this story: It had only one source, Dr. Bernard, who has a history as a media-connected advocate for abortion. She provided no corroborating evidence for this claim, despite the obvious fact that (a) it is very rare for a girl as young as 10 to get pregnant in the United States and (b) such a case would certainly require law enforcement involvement, but no law enforcement officials were quoted in the story. As a boy in middle school, I was taught that journalism was about “5 W’s and an H” — Who, What, When, Where, Why and How — and immediately noticed the absence of where in this story. What city or county in Ohio was the victim from?
If a 10-year-old girl has been raped and impregnated, of course you’re not going to name the victim, so the absence of who in the story is understandable, but why was there no where? If the story had specified Cuyahoga County (i.e., Cleveland), maybe I wouldn’t have been suspicious, because Cleveland is a miserable eyesore of a city, full of criminal scum. If there are 10-year-olds being raped anywhere in Ohio, it’s probably in Cuyahoga County, where Joe Biden got 66% of the vote.
However, though Dr. Bernard may be dishonest, she is not entirely stupid, so she knew that if she specified what city or county this alleged child victim was from, this would allow the reporter to contact police or Department of Family Services (DFS) officials to confirm the story. Therefore, the missing where was a major red flag. Megan Fox later reported that Dr. Bernard was one of nine Indiana abortion providers accused in 2018 of failing to comply with state law requirements for mandatory reporting of abortions involving underage girls:
Some of the girls under 16 years old who had abortions that weren’t reported to [the Indiana Department of Child Services] were as young as 12 and 13. The alleged 48 instances of failure to report occurred since July 1, 2017. The 48 consumer complaints have been filed with Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill and the Indiana State Department of Health. The Marion, Lake, Tippecanoe and Monroe county prosecutors have also been notified. . . .
In Indiana, it’s a crime for a person 18 or over to engage in any sexual activity with a child under age 16. Indiana lawmakers clarified state reporting requirements in 2017, instructing abortion doctors to report all abortions on girls under 16 to ISDH and DCS within three days of the abortion. Prior to July 1, 2017, state law explicitly required the reporting of abortions on girls under 14.
Considering this accusation, how credible a source is Dr. Bernard?
JESSE WATTERS: So how does Ohio investigating the claim that a 10-year-old girl was raped? Are we looking for the rapist on the loose? Let’s turn to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. So, Dave, have you had anybody come to you in your state to say we’re looking into this? A police report was filed?
DAVE YOST, OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL (R): Not a whisper and we work closely with the centralized law enforcement system in Ohio. We have regular contact with prosecutors and local police and sheriffs. Not a whisper anywhere. Something even more telling, Jesse, is my office runs the state crime lab. Any case like this you are going to have a rape kit, you are going to have biological evidence, and you would be looking for DNA analysis, which we do most of the DNA analysis in Ohio. There is no case request for analysis that looks anything like this.
BREAKING: Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost says there is "not a whisper" that a 10-year-old child was raped and impregnated, there has been no request for crime lab results, and that Ohio's heartbeat law would have allowed such a young girl to get an abortion in the state. pic.twitter.com/oIhJzNiq52
This is about as close to saying “it’s total made-up bullshit” as you’re going to get from a state attorney general, and the pressure should be on Dr. Bernard (and the journalists who repeated her tale) either to provide more details about this alleged case or else admit that the story is total made-up bullshit. Accountability in media? What a concept!
Two men arrested for planning an attack on a July 4 celebration in Virginia were not just in the country illegally, but one of them is also a suspected Mexican drug cartel member and the other is his roommate. So it seems that this whole open borders thing is working out “great” for law-abiding Americans.
A tipster told police that the two men planned a mass casualty event at the Richmond, Va., Dogwood Dell Amphitheater during the annual fireworks show.
“It was a very serious threat. Any threat against life and certainly that of a mass shooting is gravely serious,” police spokesperson Tracy Walker told WSET. “The suspect clearly announced a plan to carry this out and clearly had the means to do so based on the weapons and several hundred rounds of ammunition that was seized,” Walker told the station.
The “concerned citizen” tipster told Richmond Police that Rolman “Chapin” Balcarcel Ac, 38, had ties to the Los Zetas drug cartel in Mexico. The Zetas are notorious for being among the most violent of the drug cartels, using beheadings, torture, and wanton violence to freeze law enforcement from moving against them.
Police saw two Glock pistols “in plain view in the living room” when they went to Ac’s home. Other guns and “several hundred rounds of ammunition” were found after authorities thoroughly searched the home. Ac’s roommate, Julio Alvarado-Dubon, 52, was also arrested. According to police, Alvarado-Dubon has been in the U.S. illegally for three years. His visa expired four years ago, so the feds are doing a bang-up job of keeping an eye on would-be terrorists.
In addition to the guns and ammo, authorities say they found multiple IDs for Ac, including two driver’s licenses from Colorado, and IDs from Guatemala and Mexico. The duo so far face charges of possession of a firearm by a non-U.S. citizen.
Because Democrats and their media allies consider these people Future Democratic Voters, this story didn’t get much national coverage.
Law enforcement officers in Phoenix, Arizona used tear gas to break up a sizable group of protesters outside the state’s Senate building following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade. “Protesters threatened to break the AZ Senate entryway glass,” Republican Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers tweeted, as members were in the middle of voting on a series of bills.
The situation escalated into a “hostage” situation as lawmakers were instructed not to exit the building, Republican Arizona State Senator Kelly Townsend said.
The Republican Caucus of the State Senate later called the protest an attempted “insurrection.”
“We are currently there being held hostage inside the Senate building due to members of the public trying to breach our security,” Townsend tweeted Friday night. “We smell tear gas and the children of one of the members are in the office sobbing with fear.”
“I expect a J24 committee to be created immediately,” she added, referencing the January 6 committee that is investigating the insurrection of the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.
According to the lawmakers, law enforcement officers then deployed tear gas to disperse the crowds and regain control of the building.
“Crowd was dispersed with tear gas.” Rogers added, noting the protests were still continuing and the situation remained “very dangerous.”
Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, is a town of about 17,000 people in Waukesha County. In the 2020 election, President Trump got nearly 60% of the vote in Waukesha County. In such a conservative community, you might expect local officials to share the sentiments of their neighbors — unless you understand how local boards of education actually operate.
Most people don’t pay attention to school board elections, but the teachers and administrators do. Employees of the school system constitute an organized special interest, who can usually succeed in electing their chosen slate of board members — and, perhaps more importantly, they can prevent the election of any school board candidate who might disrupt the system. Thus, by controlling the school board, teachers and administrators can evade any effort to make them accountable to the public. Any parent who has ever complained about the policies and curricula of public schools knows how this works. In fact, it is largely erroneous to call them “public schools,” since they do not really belong to the public, but are rather controlled by the administrative bureaucracy, operating for the benefit of the employees, without regard to what parents actually want. All of this is necessary preamble to a story (via Sarah Hoyt at Instapundit and Robert Zimmerman) about a remarkable controversy emerging in Oconomowoc:
Over the past year, Alexandra Schweitzer, of Oconomowoc, Wis., raised concerns about age-inappropriate materials, both available for children to access and being used in the classroom, without proper parental notification. After enrolling her children elsewhere, Alexandra continued to be an advocate and resource for local parents regarding their concerns. As President of No Left Turn in Education – Wisconsin, Schweitzer voiced her concerns, and those of district parents, in public forums and in testimony before the Wisconsin legislature.
On May 13, attorneys for the Oconomowoc Area School District School Board issued a cease and desist letter to Schweitzer threatening legal action if she does not revoke public statements she made about classroom material and access to inappropriate material. At issue are a series of comments Schweitzer made about the availability of certain inappropriate books available to students of all ages through the school’s library app, inadequate parental notification about the use of a book in an eighth-grade classroom with controversial themes, and statements about her communications with the school district and the school board president. OASD is threatening a defamation suit against Schweitzer if their demands are not met. . . .
The Oconomowoc Area School District hired a law firm to send a threatening letter to a parent after she spoke out about her negative experiences with the District. OASD’s behavior in this regard is indicative of bullying parents into silence. This is entirely inappropriate and sets a dangerous precedent. WILL’s letter to OASD’s attorneys makes clear that none of the claims OASD made reach the legal standard of defamation. Ms. Schweitzer will not be revoking her statements because they are protected by the First Amendment.
The idea that a government entity can sue citizens who complain about the government’s policy is about 180-degrees opposite of democracy. And such is the nature of the “public school” establishment — controlled by bureaucrats who, by their corrupt influence over school board elections, work to prevent citizens (especially parents) from influencing the operation of a system which they are taxed to support.
People who know me know that they should never mention public education in my presence, as I can rant for hours on the subject. My rants are ultimately futile, however, as there are no words in the English language strong enough to convey how much I hate public schools. “With the heat of ten thousand suns” is perhaps the closest approximation.
