The Grand Wizard's spell has been broken and not a minute too soon U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “As alleged in the Indictment, for years, Sean Combs used the business empire he controlled to sexually abuse and exploit women, as well as to commit other acts of violence and obstruction of justice.

Bertheophilus 'Judge' Bailey, a respected minister at St Andrew Christian Church in Tulsa began abusing Harmony Oates when she was in sixth grade, court documents claim. He told his daughter he was her 'boyfriend' and that the little girl would unleash a 'total catastrophe to the whole kingdom of God' if she ever revealed what he was doing to her.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The man accused of pointing a rifle into the golf course where former President Donald Trump was playing last weekend, was known in his hometown as something of a bad actor. “Weird” is how one of Ryan Routh’s former neighbors in Greensboro described him. She told reporters he once had a horse in his house and that he also kept guns. A man, who like the first neighbor asked not to be identified for fear of being associated with Routh, says he didn’t know the 58 year old well but got a similar vibe. “I mean, [he]...

The failed policy of accepting unchecked mass migration has wrecked the social fabric of the United Kingdom, leading to the emergence of the ‘grooming gangs’ and the explosion of sexual violence rates. Sure enough, not all rapes or sexual assaults in Britain are linked to the invasion of illegals from cultures that are not assimilating, but the two phenomena sure are developing in parallel. BBC reported: “A rape offense is reported every hour in London, according to data obtained by the BBC. More than 8,800 rape incidents were reported to the Metropolitan Police in 2023 – an average of 24...

Russia-installed authorities in eastern Ukraine had earlier this month reported the American — 64-year-old Russell Bentley — as missing.

"He was fighting for our guys," she said. Simonyan gave no details on how he died. The Vostok battalion with which he fought confirmed his death, calling...

Rape, robbery, and aggravated assault soared more than 40 percent under the Biden-Harris administration despite claims to the contrary, Justice Department data that the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) analyzed show. The finding is significant because violent crime fell 15 percent under former President Donald Trump, according to the CPRC’s estimate. “Despite their fraudulent statements that they made,” Trump said during Tuesday’s debate, “crime in this country is through the roof. And we have a new form of crime. It’s called migrant crime.” Migrant crime is rampant, according to the Trump campaign: Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old Maryland mother of five,...

The former president's motorcade was seen pulling up to the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan Friday morning where attorneys presented oral arguments before a panel of three judges - all of whom were appointed to the bench by Democratic presidents.

Granite City, IL — On Saturday, August 24, John Ryan, a pro-lifer who reaches out to abortion vulnerable women from the sidewalk at Hope Clinic (nicknamed “Hopeless Clinic”) in Granite City, Illinois, was arrested for battery. But Ryan was not the perpetrator of violence. Rather, he was the victim. While Ryan reached out to a mother with verbal pleas and offers of help, one of the escorts working for the notoriously dangerous late-term abortion facility shoved her umbrella into him multiple times. As many as 10 witnesses who were in the immediate vicinity collaborated with Ryan’s video footage and statements...

Gov. Andy Beshear (D-Ky) made the case for a nationwide, anytime, anywhere right to a publicly funded abortion by posing a hypothetical scenario for Republican vice-presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (Ohio). "Let's imagine for a moment that Senator Vance's wife is raped and impregnated by a criminal who illegally entered the country through our porous southern border," Beshear posited. "Wouldn't the Senator want his wife to have the option to abort that child?" Vance pointed out that "the Democrats want to impose their extreme abortion position on every state in the union. The US Supreme Court wisely recognized that there...

A Democratic governor suggested on Tuesday that Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) should be made to “go through” having a member of his family raped. Hadley Duvall, a rape victim-turned-abortion activist, introduced the governor of her home state of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, at the Democratic National Convention on Monday afternoon, hailing the pro-abortion governor as a “champion for women.” Taking the stage, Beshear boasted of abortion-on-demand as a necessary option for women impregnated by rape. “Yet Donald Trump brags about tearing a constitutional right away from Hadley and every other woman and girl in our country,” the governor said. He continued,...
