A wicked judge recently proved that the next step from toxic empathy is pure evil as the third branch of government continues to sabotage the Trump Administration. The Detroit News reported on Friday that a violent illegal alien from Honduras who sexually assaulted a woman with cerebral palsy in a Michigan laundry room will be released from prison as early as July 2028, less than three tears from now thanks to a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama. The illegal, 30-year-old handyman Edys Renan Membreño Díaz was previously caught sneaking into the U.S. at least seven times since 2019. He...

Zao MKE Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is led by Rev. Jonah P. Overton (they/them) and Cameron Overton. Married in 2018, they present as a gay homosexual couple, when in reality, both are biological women, making them a gay, lesbian couple. Describing themselves as “Jesus Rooted, Justice Centered, Radically Inclusive,” a Q Worship Collective describes them as “a church that is being recreated and reimagined by people who were historically denied access to traditional Christian leadership.” We’ve covered them before after their pastor set a record for the most amount of times saying “crap” in a sermon, and after the worship...

Marlene Dietrich made her way to a recording studio in the middle of New York’s Times Square, about to give one of the most audacious performances of her career. The Berlin-born screen siren had renounced her German citizenship five years earlier, and become a proud American - a move that had so enraged Hitler, he’d put a seven-figure bounty on her head. But Dietrich was undeterred, and went on to become a key figure in the US war effort, singing for Allied troops in Algeria, France, Italy, and Germany - often in extremely dangerous conditions. What is less well-known is...

No matter how much we hate the media, they deserve worse.

A female pastor blasphemed Jesus as a “drag queen,” and a trans activist appeared to make threats of violence during a city council meeting in Massachusetts following federal changes that limit legal recognition of transgender identities. The apparent threat came during a Worcester City Council meeting before the board voted 9-2 on Feb. 12 to designate the city as a sanctuary for trans and “gender-diverse” people. Worcester, located about 35 miles west of Boston, is the second-biggest city by population in the state, with just over 200,000 residents.

Former female sports greats, media figures, and even a conservative lawmaker tore into a recent New York Times article for referring to women as “non-transgender women.” Tennis legend Martina Navratilova and other prominent people blasted the piece online for the characterization, stating the outlet should just be referring to biological women as women. “NYT- you stink.

Gretchen Whitmer--the decidedly "meh" Governor of Michigan, has been one of the favorites for donors and political insiders for the nominee of the Democrat Party should President Biden step down or be forced out of the race. Early on in the post-debate saga, she was clearly angling for the job, but as the Biden Crime Family run by the triumvirate of Joe, Jill, and Hunter made clear that Slow Joe wasn't leaving, she has begun to backtrack. Now she is shutting down the speculation that she is open to the job, although there has been no Shermanesque "If nominated I...
