  • Cross-dressing teacher found guilty of threatening to murder and eat his student…

    10/16/2026 7:00:59 AM PDT · by Red Badger · 19 replies
    Chances are, you haven’t heard of this case out of Loudon, Virginia. Why, you might ask? Well, likely because it involves a male teacher parading around as a woman, who threatened to murder and then reportedly “eat” his student. In other words, more trans-related violence that the mainstream media loves to sweep under the rug. In a case that’s received little media attention, a cross-dressing teacher has been found guilty of making credible threats to murder his own pupils, and then even eat one. Hadyn Dollery, who goes by the name ‘Sophie’, faces 25 years in jail. https://t.co/Pn4c95vyYX — ripx4nutmeg...

    The teenage gunman who shot and killed three children and a teacher at an Oregon elementary school on Thursday opened fire at a pickup truck before storming into the school, witnesses say. The unidentified 16-year-old was carrying a shotgun when a man in a red Toyota Tacoma pickup truck idling in Silver Rail Elementary School's parking lot noticed he was heading toward the school, The Source reported. Concerned by what he was seeing, the driver then decided to confront the teenager, who in turn fired numerous shots at the civilian and his truck, shattering a rear window and leaving six...
  • James Talarico ruthlessly fact-checked by voter after claiming Bible is ‘silent’ on abortion at CNN town hall

    Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico was ruthlessly fact-checked by a Catholic voter during a Texas town hall Wednesday after he claimed the Bible doesn’t take a stance on abortion. Talarico, a Christian seminarian and state lawmaker, attempted to convince the self-described “one-issue voter,” Jody Hunt, that his pro-choice position is compatible with her faith because “the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion.” Hunt, respectfully, wasn’t buying it. She allowed Talarico to finish his point that “certain policy levers” — absent banning the procedure — can reduce abortions nationwide, before her mic-drop moment. “I just want to add that...

    The move comes as anger has erupted across American college campuses Cornell University suspended parties at fraternity houses on campus for the rest of the academic year as turmoil at the Ivy League school continues over a former student’s rape allegations. The school will hire additional support staff and task New York State Police with investigating sexual assault claims on campus for the duration of an independent review of Cornell’s policies, President Michael Kotlikoff said in a statement Tuesday. That review, announced earlier, will be led by former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates. “These measures will provide time for a...

    Should we or shouldn’t we celebrate Columbus day? Every year the debate rages around this time whether the expansion of European civilization into the western hemisphere was a positive or negative development in human history.Of course Columbus himself was a complex figure, and there is much to love or hate about him depending on one’s point of view. The leftward side of the debate points out Columbus’s greed, ambition, pride and at times cruelty.And yet on the other side , one must admire the bravery, tenacity, and Columbus’ willingness to venture at great risk. Columbus also had a pious side...

    Former state trooper John Nagel pointed the finger at his opponent, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and the Democratic Party for allowing Somali American gang-linked violence to escalate in the Twin Cities. Residents of Eden Prairie and surrounding Twin Cities suburbs have been left fearing for their safety after a string of gang-related incidents this month, including the shooting of two teens outside an Eden Prairie High School football game and more than 100 shell casings recovered in a Bloomington neighborhood. "Where is Ilhan Omar in all of this?" Nagel, a Minnesota native who spent 30 years as a state trooper,...

    WASHINGTON — Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed repeatedly refused to answer whether he considers Iran or Israel to be the “greater threat to the United States.” When presented with that question during his debate Thursday against Republican Senate hopeful Mike Rogers, El-Sayed ripped it as a “ridiculous hypothetical.” “Here’s what’s happening right now: our ostensible ally in Israel has lobbied us to go to war with Iran,” El-Sayed, a Democrat, replied. “We have watched as Iran has responded by bombing all kinds of countries in the Middle East and then choking off the world’s energy supply.” “This is a situation...

    A Wisconsin congressional candidate has been arrested on hate crime charges after he went on a vulgar caught-on-camera rant against an Israeli dad with his young son in the car — after he was triggered by an anti-Hamas bumper sticker. Matthew Arndt, 54, allegedly cut off the 41-year-old father on a road in the Milwaukee suburb of Mequon Thursday morning, flipping him the bird and cursing at him before pulling into a gas station, where the dad followed him and began filming the explosive encounter. “Do you want to tell me something?” the father asked. “Yeah, you’re a f------ piece...

    Employees at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago are unionizing over their working conditions, claiming their benefits have been cut and workloads are increasing just four months after the center opened in June. Workers circulated a letter to staff Wednesday announcing their intent to unionize, complaining about “increasing” workloads “vague responses” from administrators to a list of complaints they’d raised, the Chicago Sun Times reported. Some of the complaints suggested that the $900 million presidential center could already be facing financial trouble. Such complaints have led to a “high turnover rate,” with exiting employees “taking with them their institutional knowledge...

    Bodycam Unlocked on YouTube ^ | Oct 7, 2026 | Bodycam Unlocked
    Newly unsealed police bodycam footage shows the aftermath of the 2023 Richneck Elementary School shooting in Newport News, Virginia, where a 6-year-old student shot his first-grade teacher. Officers enter the classroom and secure the handgun before taking the child into custody. During the encounter, the 6-year-old repeatedly curses at officers and a teacher, challenges them, and tells police that he stole the gun from his mother. The bodycam footage was later unsealed by a Virginia court after media organizations challenged the decision to keep it sealed. The child's face and identifying information have been blurred in accordance with the court's...

    Home-educated students do notably better on standardized academic tests on average than those in institutional schools, according to a powerful new study reviewing available data. For years, parents struggling with the decision of how to educate their children have wondered if homeschooling really provides as strong of an academic base as a conventional school. In the last 50 years, homeschooling has gone from being perceived as a fringe experiment to a form of education serving around six percent of American school-age children; that is about 3.4 million K-12 homeschool students. This mainstreaming of homeschooling has led to a lot of...

    Female Rage Hot Sauce’s second “Hot Dogs for Abortions” fundraiser of the summer brought hundreds of supporters together to raise money for the D.C. Abortion Fund, channeling their anger over reproductive rights into advocacy. The fundraiser, held at Dew Drop Inn on Sept. 17, is the latest iteration of an event that began as a backyard party following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What started with friends grilling hot dogs and donating at the door has since grown into a recurring fundraiser for abortion funds, raising thousands of dollars along the way. “After the Dobbs case...

    When a federal appeals court known for its rock-bottom track record in Supreme Court reviews reinstated California's so-called gender secrecy policies in schools, parents and teachers ran to SCOTUS for an emergency injunction. The gambit worked, prompting a broadside by six justices against lower courts for ignoring a century of precedents. Now a mother and daughter in Washington state are seeking the same shortcut around the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which rejected their plea to force a school district and state athletic association to warn them before the girl unwittingly competes against another male in girls' wrestling, as...

    Almost a thousand people were arrested across France on Monday as the multicultural teenager riots continue to ramp up with the backing of the far-left. At least 984 people were arrested, and 65 police officers were injured as the so-called high school protests entered their third week on Monday, in which hordes of teenagers have gone on violent rampages in cities across the country, with little in the way of a coherent message other than an apparent desire to usher in chaos. Since the riots began in mid-September, over 5,000 people have been arrested, 87 per cent of whom were...
  • Colleges are making themselves obsolete: 49 colleges have closed since 2020; 400 colleges are at risk of closing in the next decade.

    American higher education is in retreat. It’s shrinking. The for-sale signs have gone up. It’s time for “inventory reduction.” Forty-nine colleges have closed since 2020. Forty others have merged with neighbors. The Huron Consulting Group says that 400 colleges are at risk of closing in the next decade. The prospect of insolvency has now moved beyond small colleges. Larger ones are closing programs and laying off faculty. Not counting community colleges, trade schools, online-only outfits and clandestine thinkatoriums, some 2,700 four-year institutions are currently authorized to hand out college degrees in the US. That compares with 4,150 licensed hot dog...
  • Trump DOJ sues university where illegal immigrants can get $15K tuition rate while some Americans pay $42K (Delaware)

    Fox News ^ | 10/05/26 | Rachel del Guidice
    The Trump administration is suing the University of Delaware over a tuition policy that allows certain illegal immigrants to pay lower in-state rates while American students from outside Delaware are charged thousands more. The Justice Department argues the policy illegally gives undocumented students a financial benefit based on residency that is not offered on the same terms to U.S. citizens, making Delaware the latest target in the administration’s nationwide crackdown on immigration-related tuition benefits. The DOJ alleges the University of Delaware charges Delaware residents approximately $15,740 per academic year, compared with approximately $42,470 for non-Delaware residents, coming to a $26,730...
