Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Sunday granted an “absolute pardon” to the father who was arrested at a school board meeting after the superintendent lied about his daughter’s rape by a skirt-wearing boy. The pardon says that in June 2021, Scott Smith “exercised his constitutional right to attend a public meeting of the Loudoun County School Board to observe the proceedings, during which time a community member threatened to spread false and malicious information about Mr. Smith’s business with the intent to damage his reputation.” “After an ensuing verbal confrontation, Scott Thomas Smith was charged with Obstruction of Justice and...

As Northern Virginia's Loudoun County continues to be plagued by a sex scandal, where a now 15-year old boy was able to rape classmates throughout the district, the district is also coming under fire for their policy on mask mandates, which is to suspend students and charge them with "trespassing," a Class I misdemeanor. On Sunday, Nick Minock reported for ABC 7News that while students who did not show up with masks were sent to the auditorium to be segregated from their peers, they will now be suspended. Not only that, they will be physically removed from school and charged...

The School called Smith and they told him his daughter had been in an altercation with a male. When he arrived, he determined that what had happened was far more serious. The school said it was handling the incident in-house. Smith was dumbfounded. Deputies from the sheriff’s office responded to the school – not to investigate the alleged rape of a child but because school administrators called them on him for making a scene about it. “Six cop cars showed up like a f—ing SWAT team” to respond to the complaint about an assertive parent, he said. “Thank God that...

The rape of Loudon County, Virginia parent Scott Smith’s daughter by a biological male wearing a skirt in the girl’s school restroom shows the wisdom of President Trump reversed the Biden/Obama administration’s “guidance” to schools and educators to permit transgender restrooms. The move was condemned as bigotry when it is just common sense. You don’t tempt fate. You don’t store flammables next to an open flame and you don’t have boys using the girls' restroom. Loudon County officials were well aware of the history of cross-gender restroom assaults as they considered their transgender restroom policy, particularly the rape of Scott...

Boy in dress came into girls' bathroom and molested his daughter.

The school called Smith but, when he arrived, told him they were going to handle the matter “in-house.” When the school eventually called the sheriff’s office, it wasn’t to arrest the alleged perpetrator (who later admitted the act) but was because Smith was making a scene—he wasn’t violent, but he launched obscenities at the principal. Still, the sheriff’s deputies took Smith’s daughter to a hospital, where a rape kit showed that she had, in fact, been sexually assaulted.The principal then sent a message to the school community saying that, while the deputies had shown up at school, everyone at the...

A former Green Beret has taken responsibility for what he claimed was a failed attack Sunday aimed at overthrowing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and that the socialist government said ended with eight dead. Jordan Goudreau’s comments in an interview with an exiled Venezuelan journalist capped a bizarre day that started with reports of a pre-dawn amphibious raid near the South American country’s heavily guarded capital. An AP investigation published Friday found that Goudreau had been working with a retired Venezuelan army general now facing U.S. narcotics charges to train dozens of deserting Venezuelan soldiers at secret camps inside neighboring Colombia....

Three of the highest ranking cyber-investigators announced immediate retirement. They say it isn’t because of all the Justice Department scandals but the frustration of not being able to do their jobs, as pointed out by a recent DOJ report, might have been too much to bear.

Washington, D.C. bureaucrats are screaming that this couldn’t happen at a worse time. Threats “like Russia’s election interference and online foreign influence campaigns, have reached a point of alarm,” writes CNN....

Evangelist Don Karns of Hampton, Virginia told Christian News Network that Boster approached him as he was holding a sign about evolution and became condescending and confrontational. “He asked me if I had accepted Darwin as my lord...
