Self-described “progressives” appear to be tiring of Kamala Harris’s effort to downplay her left-wing policies, and are reminding her that they do not want to be taken for granted as she tries to portray herself as a “moderate” candidate. While Harris told CNN last month, in her first and only media interview, that “my values have not changed,” Harris’s campaign has been telling the media that she no longer supports some of her most radical policies, such as canceling private health insurance, defunding the police, ending detention for illegal migrants, backing the “Green New Deal,” banning fracking, and other policies...

The country accounts for nearly all of this year’s recorded cases and more than 450 deaths. “It began like a small, inflamed spot. The mother squeezed it and watery discharge came out. Then another developed, and after a short period, they were all over the body,” says Alain Matabaro, describing how mpox developed in his six-year-old son Amani. He started recovering after four days of treatment...

An 'inhuman' pedophile who was sentenced to 350 years in jail for abducting and molesting a five-year-old girl in 2003 could now be freed under a controversial California law. Charles William Mix was 47 when he kidnapped his friend's daughter and smuggled her over state lines to Utah before subjecting her to his sordid fantasies in June of that year. Her family believed he would spend the rest of his life behind bars, but 20 years later, Mix, 69, could be freed under California's relatively new Elderly Parole Program due to his age after serving just six percent of his...

The administration of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), Vice President Kamala Harris’s choice for running mate, “made it a priority” to delete language in the Minnesota Human Rights Act intended to protect children from pedophiles, State Rep. Harry Niska (R) revealed during an interview on Breitbart News Daily. The Minnesota Human Rights Act is essentially a name for the state’s anti-discrimination statute, but Democrats in Walz’s administration “have really pushed the envelope in terms of gender ideology into our Human Rights Act.” “And that included deleting from the Human Rights Act some language that specifically made clear — this is...

im Walz may have the manner of a kindly, Midwestern dad. But when it comes to protecting the country’s children from transgender medical interventions, Walz is not interested. In fact, he wants the opposite. Vice President Kamala Harris tapped the Minnesota governor as her running mate Tuesday, prompting scrutiny of his progressive record on everything from immigration to abortion and gender ideology. Walz signed a cluster of legislation in April 2023 that established Minnesota as a haven for children who want puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or transgender surgeries. One law Walz signed allows Minnesota to seize custody of a child...

Federal prosecutors knew Jeffrey Epstein raped teenage girls 2 years before they cut him a sweetheart plea deal. We now know this because a Florida judge on Monday unveiled the grand jury transcript from that 2006 investigation.Alex Acosta heard directly from one victim who clearly stated Epstein raped her the day before her 18th birthday. Acosta was the top federal prosecutor in Florida at the time of the plea agreement. He had first-hand testimony, but still gave Epstein a light plea deal. Epstein was sentenced to 1.5 years sentence in the Palm Beach County jail system, but his sentence he...

Last week, police arrested Jonathan Edward Elwing, senior pastor of Palm View Baptist Church, for possessing child pornography, but new information paints a far more disturbing picture. Previously law enforcement received a tip that the pedophile pastor used cryptocurrency to buy child porn online. They acquired a warrant and executed it the very next day, seizing his devices and finding four images of child porn on his cell phone. Things have changed. After seizing multiple electronic devices, including phones, tablets, and computers, a preliminary search has revealed even more images, including ones that shows him sexually abusing a child.

Finding out your fiancée cheated on you will really put a kibosh on wedding plans…. Even more so if you find out the “other man” was an 11-year-old 5th Grader. Ouch! We should clarify upfront that while an arrest has been made, no ultimate finding of guilt has yet been admitted or found by a Court of Law. Here’s what we know so far….

While Americans are growing uncomfortably accustomed to light sentencing and increasingly brazen criminals, one judge agreed to impose a sentence on the more stern side of the spectrum. A Louisiana man, Glenn Sullivan Sr., 54, of Springfield pled guilty to four counts of second-degree rape earlier this month. Sullivan repeatedly raped and impregnated a 14-year-old girl, and will be surgically castrated while serving out a 50-year prison sentence handed down by Judge William Dyke. Assistant District Attorney Brad Cascio told WBRz:I want to say I've had three people ordered to be chemically castrated but, to my knowledge, this is the...

A mother’s three-year battle to jail the man who systematically enticed her son to make a sex video and perform lewd acts resulted in the first “unlawful grooming and solicitation of a minor” conviction in 2014, and led to a series of laws just passed in Florida. (Thankfully, the man was caught before he was able to make physical contact.) Until now, there have been only two anti-grooming laws on the books: one in Illinois, and one at the federal level. The excuses in other states have been, “grooming is very hard to prove,” “children would be emotionally harmed by...
