Tucker Carlson showed how the anti-Trump battalions had lied about January 6. Liz Cheney and her Kangaroo Court lied about what happened. So did Nancy Pelosi and the regime media. Jacob Chansley, the behorned and painted veteran who became the face of the protest because of his outlandish getup, was not a violent insurrectionist. He was a mannerly protestor who prayed publicly in the Capitol and was politely escorted through its halls by several Capitol police officers. Why, many people will wonder, has he been sentenced to five years in jail? Schumer and the media charged that Carlson “sanitized” what...

As one smart Freeeper commented the other day, there was a time when Serbia was communist and Australia was democratic. Now the best tennis player in the world is imprisoned in a cheap hotel in Carlton, Melbourne, because he wanted to defend his Australian Open title. This is false imprisonment. Will Acting Seargeant Bonnie Heazlewood of Collingwood Police Station investigate the crime? Or will there be a cover-up of this stupid corruption of the laws, human rights and sporting ideals which Australia used to stand for.

On Wednesday, November 24, 2021, Travis McMichael, 35; Gregory McMichael, 65; and William “Roddie” Bryan, 52, were found guilty for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. On February 23, 2020, Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was out for a jog in a suburb outside of Brunswick, Georgia, when he stopped to look around a house that was under construction. Gregory and Travis, a father and son who lived in another home on that street, saw Arbery and pursued him in their white Ford pickup truck, armed with guns, because they believed he was the suspect of a recent burglary in the...

Kansas municipal courts violate both the state and federal constitutions. Kansas municipal courts don't have the constitutional authority to legally fine people, take property or place people in jail, but do so anyway. The Kansas Constitution assigns the judicial power to courts under the administrative control of the Kansas Supreme Court. Cities have no authority to operate separate court systems under the control of city governments. Cities can only exercise governmental powers as an agency of the state of Kansas because the U.S. Constitution only allows state and federal government agencies to exercise governmental powers. Kansas municipal court "judges" are...

Jeffrey Epstein, the high-profile sex-trafficking suspect who died in a Manhattan jail, asked for nude photos from one of his victims a month before he was arrested, according to a lawsuit filed this week. The claim against the disgraced financier's $577 million estate says Juliette Bryant initially met Epstein in 2002, when she was a 20-year-old aspiring model living in South Africa. She says she went to a restaurant with Epstein, after being introduced by a model turned journalist, and then attended a speech in Cape Town he gave the following day, according to the suit. Epstein asked Bryant to...

May 20, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — The coffee meet-and-greet on Saturday, May 18 was supposed to be low-key. MPP Sam Oosterhoff was scheduled to show up at the Grimsby branch of the Canadian legion at 9 A.M., where constituents could show up with questions or concerns or just to say hello. A group of abortion activists, however, had other plans, none of which involved actually asking questions or expressing concerns in polite or civilized manner. Enraged by Oosterhoff’s recent speech at the Toronto March for Life, they decided to show their displeasure. A few dozen men and women descended on the...

A man who spent nearly 20 years locked in a state psychiatric ward in Lincoln is suing doctors for malpractice, saying he was never mentally ill during his time there. He was sent to the Lincoln Regional Center that year. For the next 20 years, regional center doctors and others involved in Montin's treatment relied on information from initial police reports that said Montin was delusional, rather than court records that showed otherwise. But last year, a regional center psychiatrist found that it was medicine Montin had taken for his injured back that had led to a medication-induced psychosis. When...

Linda and Lou Pelletier of West Hartford, Conn., went into juvenile court in Boston on Friday hoping a judge would return custody of their 15-year-old daughter to them. Justina’s life has been in limbo for more than 10 months, as the teenager has remained in state custody at Boston Children’s Hospital, mostly in a locked psychiatric ward, while her parents, doctors, and lawyers fought over her future. Dr. Mark Korson, the chief of metabolism at Tufts, had been treating Justina for that disorder (mitochondrial disease) for more than a year and had sent her to Children’s only because her Tufts...

The saga goes back to February. The 15-year-old was getting treated for Mitochondrial Disease, which affects the muscles. When symptoms grew worse, Justina Pelletier ended up at Boston Children's Hospital. Doctors there came up with a startling diagnosis. They said Justina wasn't physically sick, but mentally sick with Somatoform Disorder. It's a mental illness where someone actually experiences physical pain. When her parents tried to take her out of the hospital, they were stopped. It's now become a custody battle between the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families and her parents.

Dr. John Natale, nationally recognized cardio-vascular surgeon was charged with Medicare fraud only to be found not guilty by the jury. He performed over 7500 surgeries in his career and never lost a patient on the operating table. The DOJ brought this case to court regarding 5 ruptured aneurysms performed in the emergency room on 5 elderly patients - all expected to die. Even the expert witness for the DOJ had to admit that Dr. Natale's skill as a surgeon was exemplary. The jury found that no fraud had been committed yet Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer, under the strong urging of...

DEXTER, Minn. - The Dexter parents who pleaded guilty to chaining one of their sons to his bed have been denied visitation rights. Thirty-three-year-old Brian Dale Miller and 26-year-old Charity Lynn Miller requested visitation with the younger of their two sons Friday. They both pleaded guilty earlier this month to gross misdemeanor false imprisonment. They were accused of chaining their 5-year-old son to his crib and withholding food and access to the bathroom from him and his 8-year-old brother.

REXBURG - What began as a complaint of domestic battery turned into an all-nighter for the Rexburg Police Department, with some of West First North being closed off Friday night and early Saturday morning. According to police, the department was alerted by a 21-year-old woman, who said her husband, Kristopher Corey Butcher, 25, had become upset when their 3-month-old baby began crying. "When she went into the baby's room the husband secured the door so she could not leave the room with the baby. (The) victim escaped by climbing out the window and entered back through another bedroom window in...

I, Monika E. Gasztonyi, longtime resident of Painesville, Ohio am of sound Mind, Body and Spirit. I am not in any way, shape or form suicidal. I have no desires, no notions, no thoughts, no feelings, and no plans to kill myself. So if the Painesville city police department and/or the Lake county sheriff's department tells the Local Press that I committed suicide, know in an instant that I was murdered by some very stupid person(s). Most likely someone in the so-called "law enforcement" community. Furthermore, I have no desire, no inclination, no feelings and no plans to cause bodily...

Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe has agreed to be a star witness against the singer during his child molestation trial. Ms Rowe, 37, was married to Jackson for three years and is mother of his children Prince and Paris. But she has now formally been added to the state's list of witnesses. Insiders say her testimony is likely to "blow the lid" off Jackson's bizarre lifestyle. Since the allegations of child abuse first surfaced, the former nurse has filed to regain custody of their children. She was said to have signed all rights over to Jackson after their 1999 divorce,...

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PROPERTY RIGHTS? A monastery official and a human rights advocacy group sued a southern Arizona ranch family Wednesday, accusing them of impersonating federal agents and violating the rights of undocumented immigrants. Border Action Network, a human rights organization, and Donald J. Mackenzie, groundskeeper for and vice president of Summerland Monastery Inc., filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against Roger Barnett; his wife, Barbara, and his brother, incorrectly identified as Ralph. The lawsuit will be amended to correct the name Ralph to Donald, attorney Jesus Romo said. The civil action accuses the Barnetts of conspiracy to...

Yet they had done nothing wrong. The Arizona suspects were just the latest of five innocent people to be jailed and eventually exonerated in a homicide case that remains unsolved, hampered for months by investigative mistakes. The Sheltons and Starkey, who were held for three weeks before being freed, allege that Prince George's detectives were carelessly overzealous and that police obtained arrest warrants for them by lying in a court affidavit, saying the three admitted in interrogations that they had used the victim's debit card "To be honest, I think they just wanted somebody to lock up," Virginia Shelton said....
