The party was over for dozens of party animals amid an out-of-control, booze-fueled spring break bash in Savannah, Ga. last weekend.

April is Sexual Abuse Awareness Month (SAAM) — a hard topic and one that abortion supporters all but ignore when it comes to the abortion industry. We know child molesters, pimps, and human traffickers all benefit from the deafening silence of abortion staff refusing to report obvious abusive situations playing out in their lobbies. However, these are not the only abusers hanging around abortion clinics. Countless women have experienced horrific sexual abuse at the hands of abortion doctors. In today’s Monday Lineup, we expose sexual predators from the Midwest — all of them found inside the abortion clinic, with a...

April is Sexual Abuse Awareness Month (SAAM) — a hard topic and one that abortion supporters all but ignore when it comes to the abortion industry. We know child molesters, pimps, and human traffickers all benefit from the deafening silence of abortion staff refusing to report obvious abusive situations playing out in their lobbies. However, these are not the only abusers hanging around abortion clinics. Countless women have experienced horrific sexual abuse at the hands of abortion doctors (and, in this lineup, at least one nurse). In today’s Monday Lineup, we expose sexual predators from California and the West —...

When I was 12 years old, we moved to the Navy base on Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. We moved in the summer and by the time school started I’d made friends and was feeling pretty comfortable. One day during the first week of class, I was sitting in the back of Mr. Scroch’s Social Studies classroom before he arrived. While we waited, some friends and I were messing around, throwing erasers at one another and calling each other names. Then we noticed a man sitting in the front row. We immediately settled down, but I remember ducking my head and yelling...

How vast was the Great COVID Cover-up? Well, my investigation has recently discovered government officials from 15 federal agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was trying to create a coronavirus like COVID-19.

Six inmates at a New York prison are so eager to catch next week’s solar eclipse that they’re suing their lockup, claiming the rare spectacle is a “religious event” that they should be allowed to see. The prisoners at Woodbourne Correctional Facility argue the April 8 phenomenon — in which the Moon will pass between the Sun and the Earth, immersing part of the state in darkness in the middle of the afternoon — should “warrant gathering, celebration, worship, and prayer,” their federal lawsuit states. The men include a Baptist, a Muslim, a Seventh-Day Adventist, two practitioners of Santeria and...

In a recent monologue, Greg Gutfeld focused on some of the high profile crimes that have happened in New York City over the past few weeks and the lame response from the people in charge. Greg talks about the Democrats and their obsession with bail reform and how this places a higher priority on the rights of criminals, instead of law abiding citizens. Despite a lot of talk from Mayor Adams and others, things keep getting worse. Partial transcript via FOX News: So here in New York City, the subway system is running a special lottery, but unlike my used...

Getting arrested is no child’s play — except for these California cops. The Murrieta Police Department has been posting hilarious arrest and lineup photos with suspects’ faces replaced by Lego heads to comply with a woke state law protecting offenders’ rights. Images on the department’s Instagram page show the Lego blocks with a variety of facial expressions — crying, frowning, smirking or raging — digitally superimposed onto the bodies of people being busted. The agency said replacing suspects’ faces with Lego blocks allows it to be in compliance with a new state law. One appears to show two people handcuffed...

New York City is paying $387 per day to house and feed each migrant household in taxpayer-funded shelters. Over the course of a year this amounts to $141,255 per household. The median household income in the US is $75,000. A full-time minimum-wage job pays less than $15,000. Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo) asked Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra "why workers who have to live on less should should be taxed so much for the less than lavish accommodations being provided for illegal immigrants?" Becerra said "we aren't letting New Yorkers bear all the burden of supporting these...

A Republican secretary of state sent a letter this week to the Department of Justice (DOJ) alerting it to an executive order signed in 2021 that he says will allow felons and illegal aliens to register to vote in elections. In the letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Republican Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson wrote that a Biden-signed executive order has led to agencies under Mr. Garland’s charge “attempting to register people to vote, including potentially ineligible felons and to co-opt state and local officials into accomplishing this goal.” *** Mr. Watson took issue with one provision that directed...

Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell has refused the request from New York City (NYC) District Attorney Alvin Bragg that Raad Almansoori, a suspect charged with the murder of Denisse Oleas-Arancibia in the Soho 54 Hotel on February 7, be sent back to NYC. She explained that "Almansoori was already arrested for murder, but was released without bail. If I send him to Bragg he will be back on the streets of New York posing a threat to innocent lives. Here he is charged with carjacking and stabbing a woman on Feb. 17 and sexually assaulting another woman at a McDonald's...

In 2023 Venezuela reported 26.8 murders per 100,000 inhabitant. This was down from 35.3 the previous year. A possible explanation is that the surge in illegal migration from Venezuela to the US included a contingent of criminals in its midst. This past week, Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, was arrested for murdering Laken Riley, a student studying nursing at the University of Georgia. Last summer, Ibarra was arrested in New York City for "acting in a manner to injure a child," but was immediately released under the City's sanctuary policy toward illegal migrants. NYC Mayor Eric Adams...

Mayor Mitch LaKind said the goal is to ensure Denver knows the town will not accept 'busloads' of migrants.. A Colorado town voted 7-0 to affirm its status as a non-sanctuary city amid growing fears that migrants could soon flood the area from nearby Denver. "The goal is to make sure that Denver knows that we will not be accepting any busloads of migrants into our community. .. we don't have a budget that matches theirs, and we won't utilize taxpayer funds for the support of what they've decided to take on themselves as a self-declared sanctuary city," Mitch LaKind,...

I'm one of those wacky-doodles who abhor all pedophiles. Whether they wear a priest's collar or fake eyelashes and glitter matters not. Lock them up. FACT-O-RAMA! Whereas this article focuses on the pedophiles in the LGBT crowd, let's not forget that roughly 350 teachers were arrested in 2023 for child sex crimes, 75% with their students. Many teachers are seething leftists, but that's for another article. Factions of the LGBT crowd are at odds with one another. The more extreme members of the rainbow crew openly defend pedophiles, even going so far as to refer to them as "MAPs" or...

At least three groups of illegal immigrants have allegedly stolen thousands of dollars of merchandise from businesses in the Pennsylvania town within the past month, WPVI 6 ABC reported. “They’re taking advantage of coming to the U.S. and committing these crimes, and being able to disappear to some degree,” Detective Scott Pezick with the West Whiteland Township Police Department said, according to the outlet.

Border Patrol Agents in California arrested groups of migrants suspected of involvement in a sophisticated theft scheme involving stolen department store gift cards, possession of fraudulent identity documents, and credit card skimming activities. The pair of independent busts occurred in the El Centro Border Patrol Sector last week and involved five Chinese nationals in one case and two Romanian nationals in the second.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (TND) — Two major California Democrats are siding with Republicans on a new initiative to raise penalties for theft, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.The campaign reportedly takes aim at Proposition 47, a controversial law that in 2014 reduced punishments for drug possession throughout the state and reclassified theft of items worth $950 or less from a felony to a misdemeanor. In 2022, a bill that sought to lower this threshold to $450 failed in the California State Legislature, but some of the law’s fiercest supporters now appear to have changed their tune. Democratic San Francisco Mayor London Breed...
