Christian Saved-by-Jesus Pete Hegseth is Begging Muslim Indonesia for Help

The very Christian fornicator, drunkard and womanizer, Pete Hegseth, currently the US Secretary of Whore, once yelled in a bar, as he was drunk like a skunk: KILL ALL MUSLIMS.

Yet, now he is begging one of the largest Muslim nations, Indonesia, to allow him to fly his toy planes over that country and kill tens of thousands more Muslims. 

Will Indonesia agree?

JAKARTA, April 13 (Reuters) - ‌Indonesia and the United States are discussing ‌a proposal to give U.S. military aircraft access over ​Indonesian airspace, Indonesia's defence ministry said on Monday, adding that no deal has yet been reached.

The U.S. is seeking "blanket overnight access" for American ‌military aircraft through ⁠Indonesian airspace, several media outlets reported on Sunday, adding that Indonesian President ⁠Prabowo Subianto had approved the proposal.

Responding to the reports, the defence ministry said in a ​statement ​that the two countries ​are still discussing ‌the "Letter of Intent", and that there is only a preliminary draft that is being discussed internally. The draft is neither final nor binding, the ministry added.

Control over Indonesian airspace belongs ‌to Indonesia, the ministry said, ​adding that deals with ​other countries will ​protect Indonesia's sovereignty and adhere ‌to Indonesian law.

U.S. Defense Secretary ​Pete Hegseth ​is set to meet with his Indonesian counterpart Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin later on Monday, according ​to an ‌advisory released by the U.S. government.

What the Trump-as-Jesus Post Tells us About American Evangelical Christians

 

American Christians have evolved so far away from original Christianity. Many of these evangelical imbeciles take the bible literally- just like their fellow fundamentalist Muslims take the Qoran literally - when the rest of the Christian world has long accepted the symbolism of the scriptures as a moral guide rather than a User's Manual for day-to-day practices, like Islam and Judaism are.

Indeed, the symbolism of the Christian religion, which I qualify as an aspirational religion (i.e. full of unimplementable ideas like loving one's enemy, not caring for the morrow, eschewing wealth and the pursuit of happiness in this world because happiness can only be found in the afterlife...) is so fluid that just about any dumb idiot can find in it whatever it is they are looking for. In the case of the moron capitalists of the Evangelical American movement, Jesus has become an advocate for crude capitalism and criminal wealth so elegantly manifested in the notorious self-made megachurch billionaire preachers of the American south.

Moreover, and the moronic Mormons are the best representative of that, American Evangelical Christians think that Christianity was born in the US, that Jesus is a blond blue-eyed American from Alabama, and that Jesus can be marketed like any commodity in the barbaric capitalism of the US. The moron Mormons have indeed written their own appendix to the bible, which is known as the Book of Mormons, in which they cloned the Hebrew experience of wandering in the desert (of Utah) and having prophets (Joseph Smith) who heard God talking to them and leading them to the Promised Land (of Utah, again). 

So Trump's AI-generated image of himself as Jesus performing miracles while commandos of the 101st Airbone Division flutter overhead like angels, MAGA morons kneeling and praying to Trump, with the American flag behind... is not suprising. This is exactly what the full-of-themselves-American white trash dumpster Christians think of themselves. Trump's AI image is not an outlier: it is deeply engrained in the imagery and fantasies of American protestants in general. When Pete Hegseth, who is going on a bullet train straight to hell when he dies because of his sexual obsessions, his racism, his chronic alcoholism, his lust for killing and warmongering.. says he was personally saved by Jesus, he literally believes that the cosmic ghost of Jesus hovering at the speed of light across the universe with its billions and billions of galaxies and planets and stars.... specifically beamed himself down to earth in the boonies of Minnesota and personally saved Pete from himself. Which is probably a huge lie destined to assuage the prudish and stupid MAGA herd.

The Christian religion was, like all three monotheistic cults, born in the Near East within a geographic circle of some 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) in diameter. This alone should tell you that there is nothing universal to these religions. They are born out of a narrow and utterly barbaric nomadic desert mindest of Semitic goat- and camel-herders who spent too much time in the sun, raiding each other's encampments, stealing and raping, engaging in unfettered sex between men and women, men and men, women and women and all of them with animals. No wonder the "prophets" punished their people for such a pervasive culture and promised them many progeny if they atoned. No wonder nomads like that had hallucinations of frog rains, ocean splitting, beaming devils into pigs, mysterious impregnations (Sarah and Maryam) human sacrifice (Abraham and Isaac) rising from the dead and such other fantasies from the Stone and Bronze ages of humanity. 

The evolution from Judaism to Christianity did not improve things much other than challenge the existing status quo, and for one reason only: Because of the Roman occupation (with Rome as the center of the world) the christian religion moved from the Near East where it was born to Western Rome where it acquired a Western character. Had Christianity stayed in the Near East, it would have become a replica of Judaism, with lots of religious practices and not many mysteries. Indeed Islam was itself a rebellion against the westernization of Hebraic monotheism, and was motivated by a desire to reject the perceived polytheism of Christianity, and restore the Hebraic customs and traditions of the Arabian peninsula. Mohammed could easily have been a Jewish member of the many Jewish tribes around Mecca, and if not outwardly Jewish he in all likelihood grew up in a Hebraic society in which Jews and non-Jews shared the same practices. You can literally do a side-by-side comparison of Judaism and Islam and find a near pefect match between the two: Circumcision, prohibition of pork, no miracles, dual texts - Torah-Talmud vs. Quran-Hadith, bobbing-head memorization of holy texts in religious schools (yeshivas vs. madrassas), strict monotheism, corporal punishment for sinners like stoning and flogging, prohibition of representation of divinity in statues and images...)

The Hebrew prophets were Jewish. Jesus and his gang were all Jewish. In fact the membership of the early christian religion's first 300 years consisted exclusively of Jews who rebelled against the Jewish establishment whom they accused of collaboration with the Roman occupier. 

The goyim of that period, including the dominant Romans, saw Christians as a filthy Jewish terrorist organization against which they waged a long war in a way very similar to the war between the monarchical establishments and the Communists of the 19th and 20th centuries of our time. The history, written by the victors, of christian saints being crucified and burned by the Romans doesn't tell us that these early Jewish rebels were fighting a brutal war of attrition against the Roman state. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that these early Christian Jews were attacking Roman convoys, killing soldiers, hoarding weapons, etc. and otherwise destabilizing the state. The accusation against Nero of burning Rome may simply be a distortion of the truth; it may well be that the Christian rebels did indeed burn Rome in a giant act of terrorism against the dominant power. The basic tenets of early Christianity were essentially communistic in nature: Share everything, do not strive for wealth, solidarity, willing to die for the cause, revolution, etc... In other words, Jesus was, in the context of his time, the equivalent of a modern-day Communist rebel fighting with violent means the rabid colonial and imperial Romans on behalf of the poor, the sick, the indigent, the slaves and the peasants.

In conclusion, there are any different "Christian" religions (denominations, sects, confessions, orders, factions, faiths, etc. American evangelical and other protestant divagations off the original Christian movement are the latest mutations that seems to have regressed backwards from the high point of the rational European protestant reformation of the high Middle Ages. One can apply to American Evangelicals the saying about America at large: It went straight from barbarity to decadence without going through a civilization.

...and now my friends, after my sermon above, let us all kneel and pray to Messiah Donald, thank him and express gratitude for his cleaning humanity of all its undesirables (i.e. non-white-trash Americans). He is saving America, and will, thanks to his disciples like Mike Huckabee, save the world before the advent of the Apocalypse, the End of Times and Armageddon. Repent now so you can be saved when Jesus returns and sits to the right of Donald Dumb in the White Outhouse.

Message to the Likes of Autocrat Viktor Orban: Democracy Always Wins

 

The Special Relationship is not that Special After all

 

The pathetic bully in the courtyard is running around trying to find a single friend. Alas, they're tired of him and his bullying. Even his Arab Gulf girls are sick of their pimp. 

F - - - You Donald on the Hormuz debacle you created. We won't join you in your ill-conceived war in which the conservative Zionist radical right-wingers dragged you like a poodle. That is the message that the "special" friends of the US are telling Donald Dumb.

The British don't have much empathy for the Americans whom they see as dumb and ugly. But they never say so in public. The US is their child, a congenitally defective child. So they keep their thoughts for themselves. In Trump's deranged mind, the fact that the Americans saved Europeans from their own Fascism gives him a license to humiliate them and remind them of American largesse. But the US has benefited immensly from its invasion of Europe: By now all of Europe is swamped with American "culture" and Europeans continue to imitate junk Americanism like monkeys. And right now, it is Trump's America that is resuscitating Fascism in Europe and around the world.

Tony Blair followed George W Bush like a poodle in their deceptive war on Iraq. There were no WMDs. They both lied to the world. Just as Netanyahu and Trump are doing with Iran. For the past 30 years, Netanyahu has been telling US presidents (from Clinton all the way to Obama) that Iran is almost done building a nuclear bomb and that we, Zionists and Americans, must attack Iran. No one listened to the lies, except the dumbass Trump. Where's the nuclear beef in Iran? I mean 30 years is a long time. If it is true that Iran is building a bomb, they should have been done long time ago. Where is that bomb? Iran did sign a hard-negotiated agreement in 2015. Imagine if Trump hadn't walked out on the JCPOA, where would we be today? It's hard not to understand the Iranians' skepticism. What agreement can they now trust that will be upheld by those they are negotiating with? 

Then let no one forget that it was the US and the UK that toppled the democratically elected and secular Iranian government of Mohamed Mossadegh in 1956 in order to steal the country's oil with their Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC). In Saudi Arabia, the equivalent of APOC was the Arab American oil Company (ARAMCO) which, in the late 1960s, was duly handed over to the Saudi government without a coup against the Wahhabi monarchy. Why was Iran treated differently? In 1950s Egypt, Gamal Abdel-Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal to take it away from the colonial British and French crooks: They, with Israel, waged a brief war against Egypt to deny Egypt its rights to the Canal, but the US sided with Nasser against the UK-France-Israel coalition and Nasser won.  

I despise all religious institutions, especially those that masquerade as governments. Iran tops the list of religion-run countries, but so is Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Modi's Hindu crap, and Putin's Orthodox bullshit. So is Trump's Evangelical Christian bullshit. So please, I am not defending Iran and Hezbollah. But warmongers who are after money, resources and lands, regardless of their "faith", should not be encouraged. I will not stand with the criminal Messiah Trump simply because he has chosen a despicable religious fundamentalist government as his enemy. I dispense equal opportunity contempt for both.  

Virtually all Republican administrations in the US fail domestically. The bias for the wealthy and the corporations against the average American citizen inevitably leads to a collpase of the economy. How do Republicans try to rescue their political hides from their domestic mismanagement of the economy under their stewardship? They wage wars overseas. It's easy to lie to a largely dumb American people who fall for the fake patriotism and the flag waving and send their children die and get maimed overseas simply to save the political future of such imbeciles as Reagan, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., and now Trump.  

When will European leaders stand up, not cower in fear, to Trump and his ilk? When will they have the backbone to call a spade a spade, to challenge American imperialism with actions, not just words? At least the Pope had some testosterone in him to call out warmongering asshole Trump. I suppose they are biding their time and counting on the American electorate to throw out the criminal Moron. Perhaps they do not want to fall into the populist tendency by keeping quiet and issuing timid statements. But that is the danger of democratic dogma. Evil sometimes should be fought with evil, not with morality.

But now, finally, the special friends of the US in the United Kingdom are not following the example of Tony Blair. They are refusing the lies.

Trump Humiliated as Key U.S. Ally Bails on His New War Plan
Wiktoria Gucia
Sun, April 12, 2026

President Donald Trump is not receiving the support from “other countries” that he prematurely said he would.

The United Kingdom, a key U.S. ally, has said it will not take part in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz that Trump, 79, announced on Sunday in a series of threatening posts on Truth Social.

“We continue to support freedom of navigation and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, which is urgently needed to support the global economy and the cost of living back home,” a UK government spokesperson said, as reported by the BBC.

“The Strait of Hormuz must not be subject to tolling,” the spokesperson added, directly contradicting Trump’s claim that he instructed the U.S. Navy to “seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran,” following failed peace talks between the two countries on Saturday.

The statement comes as Trump has reportedly been growing increasingly frustrated with NATO allies for not supporting the United States after it launched a surprise war on Iran in coordination with Israel on Feb. 28.

During an appearance on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Trump launched into a tirade against countries—including the UK and Germany—for “not being there” for the U.S. while also claiming that he thinks “numerous countries are going to be helping us” with the newly announced blockade.

Since the start of the conflict, the president has demanded that NATO allies help reopen the Strait, which was effectively closed after Iran placed mines throughout much of the waterway, bringing a critical passage for roughly one-fifth of global oil shipments to a standstill.

Yet, some top NATO allies have rejected the president’s calls for help in the region.

In an interview for ITV’s Talking Politics podcast, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was “fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down... because of the actions of Putin or Trump.”

In March, UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband told the BBC that the country was exploring “any options” to help reopen the Strait, but government officials were reportedly wary that sending ships or aerial minesweepers to clear the waterway could escalate the crisis, according to The Guardian.

“We are urgently working with France and other partners to put together a wide coalition to protect freedom of navigation,” the UK spokesperson said on Sunday, as the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that the White House is considering measures against allies that do not back its war with Iran, including the possible withdrawal of American troops from NATO states.

On Saturday, the president claimed that the US was “clearing out” the Strait “as a favor to Countries all over the World,” with U.S. Central Command later confirming the mission.

“Incredibly, they don’t have the Courage or Will to do this work themselves,” the president posted on Truth Social.

The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.

Farewell Conservative Dinosaur Orban - Next is Criminal Nutcase Trump

It's the beginning of the end for the conservative autocrat wave that has taken the world backwards and into wars. It actually started in Brazil when the criminal Bolsonaro was booted out and prosecuted for treason and sedition.

 

But now Orban of Hungary is out. Next is Milei or Argentina, Meloni of Italy, Putin of Russia, Fico of Slovakia, and many other aging conservative dinosaurs in places like Turkiye, India etc. Except for Putin, Bolsonaro and Trump, none of the conservative populists named above are criminals. But they have steered their countries away from democracy. The EU can begin to heal from the rift caused by Putin-friendly Orban. 

 

All other wannabe populist conservative imbeciles are now on notice. When people are allowed to vote, they may err once by electing a criminal dinosaur, but democracy allows them to correct their mistake. But when elections are interfered with (Trump, Bolsonaro, Putin), they result in chaos and barbarity, but only for a while. Let us hope the American electorate has learned its lessons from its choice of a criminal like Trump.

Election loss for Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán has ripple effects for Trump, US conservatives

WASHINGTON (AP) — The big election over the weekend was in a small European country nearly half a world away from Washington, but the defeat of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has significant reverberations in the United States.

That's because President Donald Trump and many U.S. conservatives have long embraced Orbán, who has become an icon among the global right for his anti-immigrant stance. The American president's agenda has striking parallels with the way the Hungarian leader used the levers of government to tilt the media, judiciary and electoral system to keep his party in power for 16 years.

Trump supported Orbán’s reelection bid and even dispatched Vice President JD Vance to Budapest last week — in the midst of the Iran war — to stump for the incumbent.

Orbán's loss was a reminder of how the war has diminished Trump's ability to help allied politicians overseas, as well as of the limited ability of leaders to use their power to tilt voting in their direction in an age of worldwide discontent over incumbents of all ideological stripes.

“Oppositions can win despite a tilted playing field,” said Steven Levitsky, a politics professor at Harvard and coauthor of the book “How Democracies Die.” “Democracies are facing many challenges in many parts of the world, but so are autocracies.”

Orbán’s defeat has immediate global implications because he was the European leader closest to Russian President Vladimir Putin and had blocked European Union aid to Ukraine, which is defending itself after Russian's 2022 invasion.

His fall was celebrated on Sunday by both Democrats and Republicans, some of whom criticized their own administration for such overt support for the Hungarian leader.

“Don’t fiddle-paddle in other democracies’ elections,” Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska said on the social media site X.

“The freedom-loving people of Hungary have voted decisively in favor of democracy and the rule of law,” posted Republican Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi.

Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, is part of the wing of the American right that embraced Orbán. The Conservative Political Action Conference, which Schlapp's group hosts, held its first European session in Budapest and has made Hungary a regular destination.

Orban was a featured speaker at the group's conference in Dallas in 2022.

Schlapp said there's an easy explanation for Orbán's loss.



“Eventually, democracies just want change,” he said. “In democracies, you don't have kings, and the people in the end speak.”

"The people of Hungary were saying, 'We're having a difficult time with inflation, the economy and the war. Let's try the new guy,'” Schlapp said, noting that he backs Trump's Iran war but the turmoil it's created, especially in European energy markets, hurt Orbán.

Diana Sosoaca, a far-right member of the European Parliament from Romania, on Sunday called Vance's Hungarian visit “a big mistake” given widespread revulsion at the Iran war on the continent.

“You invite a representative of the United States of America, who created the big disorder in this world?” Sosoaca said in an interview posted by the Kremlin-controlled network RT, formerly known as Russia Today. “It was the biggest mistake he could do before the elections.”
 

How Orbán consolidated power

An anti-communist activist in his youth, Orbán was initially elected prime minister in 1998 but took a turn to the right after being voted out in 2002. Upon returning to office in 2010, Orbán and his Fidesz party implemented a legal framework to consolidate authority that he and his allies developed while he was out of power.

Orbán embraced what he dubbed “illiberal democracy,” building a barrier on Hungary's southern border to block migrants from Africa and Asia who were moving northward through Europe. He and his party stifled LGBTQ+ rights, cracked down on freedom of the press and undermined judicial independence.

Orbán cemented his power when his Fidesz party won enough seats in Parliament during the 2010 global recession to rewrite the country's constitution. They restructured the judiciary to funnel appointments to the bench through party loyalists, redrew legislative districts to make it much harder for Fidesz members to lose elections and helped push Hungary's media companies to be sold to tycoons allied with Orban.

The European Union has declared Hungary an “electoral autocracy.”

Orbán backers have scoffed at suggestions that the Hungarian leader is an enemy of democracy, and on Sunday he quickly conceded his loss. Democrats have worried that Trump will try to use his own executive power to tilt November's midterm elections or the 2028 presidential vote to his party, much as Trump tried to use his official powers to overturn Democrat Joe Biden's win in the 2020 presidential election.

“Most importantly for American voters, even a guy who rigs the system can be defeated when the people unite and turn out against him,” said Ian Bassin of Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan group that says it combats authoritarianism.
Democrats weigh in

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California took the opportunity to jab at Vance: “Your ally Orban conceded. In 2028, will you @JDVance follow suit if you lose?” he posted on X.

Levitsky said defenders of democracy shouldn’t take too much comfort from Orbán’s loss, noting that in some ways Trump has been more oppressive. He cited Trump’s use of the Justice Department to investigate political opponents and the shooting deaths of protesters by immigration officers -- steps that Orban’s government never took, Levitsky said.

But Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, said he sees parallels between Trump's and Orban’s political projects, as well as the potential fate of their parties at the polls.

“He was essentially doing what Donald Trump is trying to do here in the United States,” Van Hollen said of Orban. “My read of the election is that the people of Hungary rejected that, just like people in the United States are rejecting that here at home.”

Trump made no public comments Sunday about the election results in Hungary.

Though you Make Many Prayers, I Will not Listen - Your Hands are Full of Blood

That was Pope Leo's message to Trump and his criminal Evangelicals, which Leo quoted from Isaiah.

Like Muslims and Jews, Christians too ignore their own human-made moral pronouncements (which in reality are attributed to a non-existent zombie in the sky called God).

Now Trump's megalomania is inching him ever closer to declare to the world that he is a new Messiah. Forget the fornicating desert-dwelling adulterous Jewish prophets, forget the meek-and-mild Jewish nut rabbi who declared himself born of a virgin and the son of God, and forget the aggressive camelboy Mohammad who may have been Jewish himself and declared himself the Last of the Prophets.

The mad moron has posted a picture suggesting he had saint-like powers akin to those of Jesus Christ. Wearing a biblical-style robe, Trump is seen laying hands on a bedridden man as light emanates from his fingers, while a soldier, a nurse, a praying woman and a bearded man in a baseball cap all look on admiringly. The sky above is filled with eagles, an American flag and vaporous images.

This past week, Leo condemned Trump’s threat on Tuesday that a “whole civilization will die tonight” unless Iran agreed to a deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The pope not only called the remark “truly unacceptable,” but urged people to “contact the authorities — political leaders, congressmen — to ask them, tell them to work for peace and to reject war always.” It’s been nearly a year since Robert Prevost became the first American chosen as Pope.

After Trump’s post, Father James Martin, a Jesuit priest and editor at large of America magazine, posted on X, “I doubt Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?”

The 60 Minutes segment featured Norah O’Donnell’s interview with Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark, Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago and Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington.

McElroy said of Iran, “It’s an abominable regime, and it should be removed. But this is a war of choice that we went to, and I think it’s embedded in a wider moment in the United States that’s worrying, which is this: We’re seeing before us the possibility of war after war after war.”

Cupich has called the White House social media posts on the war — which intersperse clips of bombings with scenes from movies — “sickening.”

Tobin, meanwhile, has called Immigrations and Custom Enforcement a “lawless organization.”

The segment also highlighted Leo’s outspokenness on the war and his embrace of migrants, putting him at odds with the Trump administration. The 60 Minutes segment noted that after Leo spoke out against Trump’s military action in Venezuela, the Vatican’s ambassador to the U.S. was called to the Pentagon for a meeting.

“Two church officials described to 60 Minutes as unpleasant and contentious,” O’Donnell said.

Last week, The Free Press, founded by CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss, reported that at the meeting, a Pentagon official referred to the “Avignon papacy,” or a period in the 14th Century when the pope resided in France under pressure from the king, King Philip IV.

60 Minutes noted that the Pentagon and Vatican have since called the meeting “routine” and “provided an opportunity for an exchange of ideas.”

The 60 Minutes segment also noted an uptick in converts to Catholicism in the U.S., something Tobin attributed to Leo’s papacy. “Pope Leo is the right man at this time,” he said.

Trump’s full post below is one of those deranged rants that only his MAGA morons will find palatable. 

“Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

 

When Real Estate Developers, Kushner and Witkoff, Negotiate Uranium w Iran

Preamble: All that Iran has to do to "win" this war is "not lose". Like yesterday, an Israeli newspaper asked Netanyahu: You claim you have annihilated Hezbollah's arsenal. How come they are still firing (some 6,500 in the past month) rockets, missiles and drones? What Netanyahu has done is fool the Supreme American Moron and shove him into an unwinnable war. All of this so he, Netanyahu (and Trump too by the way), escape prosecution for treason and corruption. As long as the war goes on, Trump and Netanyahu are safe. But all "good things" must have an end.

========================================================
 

Trump's Laurel-and-Hardy negotiators with Iran 

We've heard it before: Trump is a fantastic deal maker when it comes to buildings, land plots, cesspools and golden toilets. He managed to convince his herd of morons and plenty of international morons that applying the imbecilities of business to running a country is a simple task. Simplistic, that is, for the simpleton Trump.

In Lebanon, one Rafik Hariri, a construction loser who made billions constructing buildings for the tent-dwelling Saudis back in the 1960s and 1970s, also applied so-called "business acumen" to running the reconstruction of post-1975-war Lebanon. Disaster: He furbished a few downtown Beirut buildings that he quickly sold to high-end stores and restaurants that no one, except Hariri's own corrupt billionaire friends, can afford in this impoverished country. Now, he did good things, like scholarships for thousands of students. But he also did some very bad things: He cleared the downtown area of all its archeological wealth, the old markets in particular, and slammed a huge mosque that dwarfed the old Christian church right next to it, signaling a Saudi-led islamization of the country at the same time that the Saudis were funding mosque-building and terror-teaching madrassas across the Western hemisphere.

One really bad thing he did was to install a corruption-based administration that Lebanon is still reeling from. The Sunni Muslim Hariri bought loyalties all over the place, installing yes-men throughout the State, particularly paying off the Syrian occupation with illegal smuggling deals that transferred billions of assets from Lebanon to the Syrian Assad regime. He also allowed the Iranian-terror organization, Shiite Muslim Hezbollah, to be the only private militia to keep its weapons in spite of the agreement to disband all militias. He issued an amnesty to all warlords and in fact formed governments with them. He forced the Central Bank to do the unthinkable: use deposits from banks and citizens to fund his corrupt programs, which ultimately led to the collapse of the State's finances in 2019.

The worst part of the Hariri legacy is that it took him more than a decade (1990-2004) to understand that he couldn't invite investments and do business when the country was reeling from a vulgar Syrian occupation. As a businessman, he should have known that you can't grow and prosper under instability, instability he himself nurtured with his sycophancy to Syria and Iran. And as is often the case, you create a monster that ends up gobbling you: Hariri was assassinated by his Syrian and Iranian buddies in downtown Beirut when he tried to steer away from a dirty path he himself had established.

Businessmen CANNOT do politics, let alone run a political entity with the mentality of a backalley swindler. Which brings us to Donald Dumb, the famed and failed (so many bankruptcies and failed ventures) businessman-turned-politician. He has his vapid sinister-looking son-in-law Jared Kushner and his sleezy real-estate buddy Steve Witkoff, both looking to make lucrative money-making deals with the very people they are negotiating war and peace with. Their mission, as instructed by the Moron-in-Chief, is to secure him and themselves billions worth of deals. Peace and such are really not among his priorities.

In their latest cunning strategy, the Laurel-and-Hardy duo of the Trump administration has proposed to Iran that the US would furnish it with enriched uranium as an enticement for Iran to shed its nuclear program, including its uranium-enrichment program! And that scintillating idea is not going well with the Moron-in-Chief and his buffoon Vice-President. I am inclined to believe that Trump himself came up with the idea. He is so desperate to end his Zionist-prodded war on Iran. Iran has time on its side. Trump doesn't. He badly needs a deal before next November, because he worries about an American electorate that now realizes that Trumpo lied to it with campaign promises that he ignored, indeed broke, rather quickly. Granted he satisfied the racist anger he himself incited in his inbred white MAGA morons by tormenting US citizens and foreigners, supposedly fighting illegal immigration, but the Iran trap he was duped into by war criminal Netanyahu is proving to be his Achilles heel. He promised the xenophobic MAGA morons not to fight foreign wars. Americans are vaccinated from childhood to hate foreigners on the ground that they, the Americans, are the best, the greatest, the all-the-superlatives-you-can-think of that humanity has never seen before (I am paraphrasing the imbecile organutan's late night rants), and that getting involved in foreign wars is like catching Herpes. And here he is now having sent the Epstein Files to Death Valley by igniting the most stupid war (more stupid than Vietnam and W. Bush's Iraq war) that there is. 

Trapped between the Zionists pushing him over the cliff and an American electorate that is watching him in dread, he is flailing like a headless chicken. He has no idea how to get the hell out of the jam Netanyahu has shoved him into. So, the senile demented moron could lash out in dangerous ways. He might be contermplating nuking Iran. He might be tempted to make a half-ass deal that favors Iran just to get out of the jam, but in the process strike the exact same deal as Obama's in 2015 which he, tiny-hands, tiny-brain and tiny balls Trump, quickly abrogated to prove his racist manliness against African-American Obama.

It is actually exhilarating to watch Trump squirm in his bed late at night, spewing methane gas from his buccal cavity (when it should normally be coming out of his caudal sphincter) in a state of delirium tremens. In some of his hallucinations, he tells the Iranians "they have no cards left" (just as he did with Zelenskiy). But these people are not trading cards; they don't have the mindset of the bullshit "deal-making" of American salesmanship. Trump can literally raze Iran to the ground and the Iranians still won't relent. Trump is a zero in history and human relations. He just doesn't understand that people can be motivated (right or wrong) by other than money or fear (which he seems to think are the only motivators of human conduct).

Vance and Kushner Clash as Trump’s Iran Strategy Unravels
Olivia Ralph
Sat, April 11, 2026

President Donald Trump’s new strategy with Iran is already falling apart as his own team can’t agree on the basics.

Vice President JD Vance and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner appear to be pushing completely different demands in nuclear talks with Tehran, just a day before negotiations are set to resume.

Vance is insistent that Iran have zero uranium enrichment capacity, while Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff had recently floated a softer deal in which the U.S. would supply Iran with uranium for civilian use, according to Fox News.

“When JD Vance says that the president gave them clear guidelines, we understand that to mean that the U.S. needs to go in there and tell Iran: No enrichment, period,” White House correspondent Peter Doocy told America’s Newsroom.

“About six weeks ago, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were sitting there with the Iranians and said, ‘The U.S. will give you all the uranium you want for peaceful purposes. You just can’t use it to enrich a bomb.’”

Iran rejected that proposal outright, highlighting just how wide the gap remains and how muddled the U.S. position has become.

The split is emerging at a critical moment as Trump has dispatched Vance, Kushner, and Witkoff to Pakistan for ceasefire talks to stabilize a fragile truce after weeks of escalating conflict.

But even before those negotiations begin, there are signs they could unravel.

Tehran has already indicated it would prefer to deal directly with Vance over Kushner and Witkoff, reflecting deep distrust after earlier talks collapsed, according to CNN.

Iranian officials have also warned that key preconditions, including a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of frozen assets, have not been met, raising doubts that the talks will go ahead at all.

Iran’s military has warned it has its “fingers on the trigger” amid what it calls repeated breaches of trust, while regional skirmishes continue despite the supposed ceasefire.

Trump, meanwhile, has been sending a very different message.

“The Iranians don’t seem to realize they have no cards, other than a short term extortion of the World by using International Waterways,” the president wrote on Truth Social on Friday.

“The only reason they are alive today is to negotiate!”

“The Iranians are better at handling the Fake News Media, and ‘Public Relations,’ than they are at fighting!” he wrote in another post.

The White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Beast’s request for comment.

The mixed messaging, with hardline demands from one envoy, concessions from another, and threats from the president, has left the administration looking divided heading into one of the most delicate negotiations of Trump’s presidency.

With so much still unresolved, the biggest obstacle to a deal may not be Iran, but the lack of a clear U.S. position.

Trump could accept suboptimal deal and throw Vance under the bus

King Donald Trump has charged his Fool JD Vance with a mission many see as extremely difficult - Julia Demaree Nikhinson/AP

Facing the prospect of ending an unpopular war with a suboptimal peace, Donald Trump appears to have hit on a canny self-preservation strategy – if talks with Iran go awry, he can always blame JD Vance, his hapless deputy.

The US president acknowledged as much in jest before Easter, when Mr Vance was engaged in indirect backchannel negotiations with a pragmatist faction in Tehran, saying: “If it doesn’t happen, I’m blaming JD Vance. If it does happen, I’m taking full credit.”

Mr Vance – who famously backed Mr Trump because he did not start foreign wars – has been dispatched to end one, a return to influence after months sidelined from his boss’s “War-a-Lago” inner circle.

Now he is back, charged with a mission many see as extremely difficult. The obstacles are formidable. Mistrust runs deep on both sides. Yet it is not inconceivable that he might pull it off.

Washington accuses Iran of decades of deceit over its nuclear programme and of sponsoring militias intent on destroying Israel and destabilising the Middle East.

Iran, meanwhile, is angered that the US has bombed it twice in the midst of negotiations. Israel’s surprise assault on Lebanon in the hours after the ceasefire only deepened Iranian suspicions, with Tehran rejecting Washington’s claim that the truce did not cover Israeli operations against Hezbollah.

With Iran threatening to walk away, the talks seemed at risk of collapse before they began.

In truth, Tehran’s anger is likely to have been performative: it is unlikely to return to war for Lebanon’s sake, just as it barely intervened when Israel killed Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, during its last invasion in 2024.

Since neither side wants a resumption of hostilities – despite rhetoric to the contrary – there are grounds for cautious optimism. A bargain, grubby rather than grand, is there to be struck. Mr Trump wants the Iran problem to go away; Iran wants cash.

In this quid pro quo, Tehran may hold the stronger hand. Mr Trump knows the war was deeply unpopular at home and that renewed fighting would unleash market turmoil, sending oil prices soaring and dimming Republican prospects in November’s midterm elections.

Iran, for all the punishment it has taken, retains control of the Strait of Hormuz and a degraded but still functioning drone and missile arsenal.

Internally, it is more divided. Pragmatists are thought to favour a durable settlement; hardliners are prepared to resume the fight. With so many senior figures killed, it is unclear which faction has the upper hand.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the parliamentary speaker leading the delegation, is seen as a bridge between them.

Tehran will press two main demands.

Firstly, proof that Washington is negotiating in good faith: that it will not resume hostilities mid-talks and will commit to a genuine end to the conflict. Iran fears a repeat of Israel’s ceasefires in Gaza and Lebanon, where strikes and assassinations continued long after peace was declared.

Secondly, Iran wants meaningful sanctions relief. The regime sees this as essential to preventing a return of the protests that nearly toppled it in January.

The war has, paradoxically, strengthened the system by rallying public sympathy. But Iran’s leaders know their grip remains tenuous unless they can ease the economic strain, which has been worsened by strikes on industrial infrastructure.

In return, Iran may offer concessions that Mr Trump can present as a win. There are limits – Tehran is highly unlikely to abandon nuclear enrichment altogether. But it may agree to address its 440kg stockpile of highly enriched uranium.

Such a step would not be as dramatic as it sounds. Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, had already suggested diluting the stockpile and transferring much of it to a third party under United Nations supervision during talks in Geneva before the US attacked.

More broadly, Iran may be reassessing its nuclear ambitions anyway. The war has underlined that weapons of mass disruption are potentially as powerful a deterrent as weapons of mass destruction.

In other words, Iran’s leverage now lies less in nukes than in disruption. A nuclear weapon might hold the Middle East hostage, but closing the Strait of Hormuz makes the global economy its captive.

Despite pledges to reopen the waterway, traffic remains severely restricted. Just 14 ships, none of them oil tankers, have been permitted transit since the truce, with hundreds more still stuck in the Gulf.

This gives Iran significant leverage. Mr Trump is demanding freedom of navigation. Iran, claiming it has mined the strait and lost track of the mines, will seek a price for easing its grip.

Sanctions relief will almost certainly be part of any deal.

Tehran has claimed Washington may release $6bn (£4.5bn) in frozen assets held mostly in Qatar – a move Washington denies, but would fit as a relatively easy confidence-building measure. The money had been earmarked for release to Iran in a 2023 prisoner swap deal before being refrozen after the Oct 7 attacks in Israel.

Whatever the outcome, Iran has demonstrated in the past six weeks that, even with a shattered navy, it can choke the world’s most important energy artery at will.

Mr Vance may yet produce an accord – though not quickly. The Obama administration took 18 months to reach its 2015 nuclear deal.

The US president, eager to move on to more politically convenient distractions – Greenland, perhaps – is unlikely to mind.

He can always blame his wingman.

Mr Trump said on Saturday he was not bothered about the outcome of US-Iran talks in Pakistan, insisting the United States had come out ahead from the war.

“Whether we make a deal or not makes no difference to me. The reason is because we’ve won,” the US president told reporters. “We’re in very deep negotiations with Iran. We win regardless. We’ve defeated them militarily.”

And whatever emerges will leave Mr Trump open to the charge that, while the US weakened Iran on the battlefield, it strengthened its hand elsewhere.

Disagreements remain between Iranian and US negotiators, according to a Tehran-backed news agency on Saturday.

Tasnim, a semi-official arm of the Iranian state, claimed the latest round of talks between the two sides in Islamabad had ended.

Meanwhile, an Iranian government account, on X, formerly Twitter, underlined negotiations would continue, “despite some remaining differences”.

Mr Trump also repeated the US military’s statement that US Navy warships on Saturday transited through the Strait of Hormuz, the vital gateway to the oil-rich Gulf, to begin clearing it of Iranian mines.

The account was denied by Iran, which has exerted power over the narrow waterway and with it the world’s oil supply in retaliation for the attack launched on Feb 28 by the United States and Israel.

“We have minesweepers out there. We’re sweeping the strait,” Mr Trump said. “We’ll open up the strait even though we don’t use it, because we have a lot of other countries in the world that do use it that are either afraid or weak or cheap.”

The US president again voiced frustration with allies from Nato, who stayed on the sidelines during the war, and who were not consulted in advance. “We were not helped by Nato, that I can tell you,” he said.

US-Born White Men's Sexual Obsession with Underage Girls

Note: For some reason, the vast majority of the crimes described below take place in states like Texas, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia.... Most southern bible-belt states whose roots go back to British-settled Appalachia.

==================================================== 

Donald and Jeffrey's PEDOPHILE CLUB managed to make Trump president of the US. That's how bad it gets.

But deep beneath the veneer, the scandals, Melania's sudden pressers.... there is something going on in the universe of American white men. Out in every town and city, there are men who prey on little girls. Every day, the harvest of US-born white American men kidnapping, chaining and raping young girls is stunning. That these men may all be Trump afficionados is possible, but the convergence of this epidemic with the Epstein case cannot be dismissed. Trump's ascent to power could have normalized all sorts of illegal activities, from vulgarity, condescendence to women, racism toward black women (Low IQ, he calls each and every one of them), xenophobia, corruption... and pedophilia, so much so that many white Americans (mostly men but also women) believe it is OK to be a pedophile: Trump is one and he's the President of the friggin' country!!

American women are generall known for being more manly and less feminine that most women on the planet. That's the impression that foreigners get when they meet American women. Could it be that white American men who buy their wives online from places like Korea and the Philippines are looking for more accommodating women? Could it be that the divorce rates among the whites of the US are an indicator of something? I am no conservative, and I am no social scientist. But there is something going on that one cannot logically be dissociated from the Epstein pedophile saga. In other words, are white American men so dissatisfied with strong-headed women of their own communities that they look for outlets which include submissive underage girls and foreign women? I don't want to blame women for the behavior of men, but a good number of sex crimes reported every day is committed by white American women against children in their care (teachers, nannies, etc.). Then again, if vows of chastity, pledges of faithfulness to one's spouse, obedience to God and his religious emanations, and such other "conservative" values are not sufficient to deter this slide into decadence, then what gives? 

Who knows how deep is the iceberg? Who knows what's out there that is never uncovered? 

The Trump administration may have focused the laser on migrants and immigrants perhaps to deflect the attention away from the all-white-men's club (and their blonde bimbos) that Trump has assembled around him. The fact that the majority of child sex crimes are committed by otherwise "decent" members of white society (firemen, mayors, police officers, reverends and pastors, priests, politicians....) is disturbing enough, but to organize the crimes inside of a powerful-and-rich men's club like Epstein's is insidious. In addition, there is no doubt that a similar phenomenon is taking place in non-white communities. But to lay the blame solely on non-white, foreign, immigrants and migrants, while claiming that the very pedophile whites who are targeting them are Christians and therefore innocent by default, is very disturbing.

"This Case Is One of the Most Disturbing": Man Convicted of Kidnapping, Raping Girl Kept in Basement
Elise Sole
Updated Fri, April 10, 2026

Johnny Chandler Blount County Sheriff's Office

An Alabama man kidnapped and raped a 10-year-old girl, then confined her in the hole of a basement stairwell.

On April 9, Johnny Chandler was found guilty of first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping, two counts of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12, first-degree unlawful imprisonment and obstructing governmental operations, according to AL.com.

“This case is one of the most disturbing we have seen,” Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey wrote on Facebook. “No child should ever experience the fear and trauma this victim endured. While today’s verdict is an important step toward justice, our focus remains on the continued healing of this child.”

Chandler was arrested on March 12, 2024, jail records show, two days after a 10-year-old Blountsville girl was reported missing. After a search coordinated with local, state and federal agencies, per AL.com, the FBI North Alabama Violent Crime Task Force found the girl alive at Chandler’s home in Warrior. Authorities also discovered the hiding space, which per AL.com, contained a stuffed animal and a blanket. 

Chandler reportedly confessed to picking up the child in front of her house, according to AL.com, and raping her.

The victim reportedly testified during the four-day trial, recalling how Chandler told her to hide in the hole when authorities—led to him after her phone pinged at the location—came to his door, reported AL.com. 

“When you look at the little hole in the wall that she was in that had a stuffed animal and a blanket,” Casey said, according to CBS 42, “and to know that he violated her, to me that is disturbing.”

Casey said Chandler had a prior relationship with the girl and her family, according to CBS 42, and groomed her over years.

“He would buy her things and do things for her,” Casey said, per the outlet, “and created a situation where she began to rely on him.”

According to Casey, Chandler is scheduled for sentencing on May 26 and he is facing life in prison. “If it would have been an option,” Casey wrote in a Facebook comment, “I would have sought the death penalty.”

Casey said she is asking the court to run Chandler's sentences consecutively, per CBS 42, to ensure he is denied parole.

Kidnapping Plot of a 12-Year-Old Girl Was Foiled in Ohio as Her Abductor Wrecks His Car

Hocking County Sheriff's Office

 A 12-year-old girl was rescued from a kidnapper in Ohio after a car crash triggered a police response. 

A kidnapped girl was rescued over the weekend when her kidnapper crashed his car in Ohio, triggering a police response.

The victim, who is only 12, was saved from Virgil Larson, Jr., police explained in a statement.

The single-vehicle crash happened Sunday, April 5, in Hocking County along U.S. 33.

Witnesses to the crash called 911 to report the accident.

Arriving officers spoke with Larson, who they soon learned is a registered sex offender. They also interview the girl who was with him.

When conflicting details were provided by both, deputies did some digging and learned the girl had been reported missing from her home in North Carolina the night before.

Hocking County Sheriff Lanny E. North said that investigators suspect that Larson lured the girl via social media with a fake scenario where he portrayed himself to be a boy around her age.

As part of the scheme, the boy would have his father pick her up and accompany her to a location that wasn't disclosed to the girl.

After the crash, the victim was taken to an area hospital for evaluation. It was unclear what Larson's intentions were in kidnapping the child.

Larson, 45, was arrested and booked into the Southeast Ohio Regional Jail and faces charges of kidnapping and resisting arrest. His bond was set at $1 million for the kidnapping charge and $10,000 for resisting arrest.

He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for April 15. No pleas have been entered on his behalf, and an attorney of record was not listed for Larson.

This year has already seen several kidnappings thwarted in states across the country.

South Carolina man Darrius Gilmore is accused of kidnapping and trying to kill two 15-year-old girls earlier this month. However, one of them found a way to escape and sought help, deputies said. Gilmore, 21, faces two counts of attempted murder, two counts of kidnapping, two counts of possession of a firearm during a violent crime, and discharging a firearm into a vehicle.

Last month, Kansas authorities said an 8-year-old girl fought off an abductor who had followed her home in Wichita.

And in Los Angeles, also last month, two teen girls managed to survive an attempted kidnapping incident by jumping from the suspect’s vehicle and calling for help.

If you know of a young person who is being exploited or is the victim of a crime, you are urged to report it to your local FBI field office by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI. Tips can also be left at tips.fbi.gov

NEED TO KNOW

Donald Eugene Fields II pleaded guilty to child sex trafficking in a Missouri federal court on Thursday, April 9

He admitted to accepting cash, a car, vacations and other items in exchange for providing a friend access to a 14-year-old girl

Fields was arrested during a routine traffic stop in Florida last year after police discovered he was on the FBI’s Most Wanted list

A routine traffic stop led to the arrest of an FBI Most Wanted fugitive who has now pleaded guilty to child sex trafficking involving a teenage girl.

Donald Eugene Fields II, 61, pleaded guilty Thursday, April 9, to one count of child sex trafficking, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri.

Fields admitted that he accepted items of value — including cash, a car, a motorcycle, Christmas presents and vacations — in exchange for providing a friend and co-defendant access to the minor, beginning when she was 14 years old, the release states.

From the winter of 2013 through the summer of 2016, per the release, co-defendant Theodore “Ted” John Sartori Sr. engaged in illegal sexual activity with the girl while providing Fields with money and other benefits.

Prosecutors said Sartori also financed a trip to Florida in 2016 and drove the minor there with the intention of engaging in sexual activity with her. Fields instructed the girl to participate in the abuse, the release states.

Fields was originally indicted in December 2022 on child sex trafficking charges and later became one of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted fugitives after he failed to show up to court.

He was arrested in January 2025 after a traffic stop in Lady Lake, Fla., when officers discovered he was on the list, according to federal prosecutors and a prior FBI release.

Fields is scheduled to be sentenced on July 15. The charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life.

Sartori, 65, previously pleaded guilty to one count of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence, according to prosecutors.

The case was investigated by the FBI and the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Missouri State Technical Assistance Team. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dianna Edwards is prosecuting the case.

An Orange County dental assistant has been sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting three young girls who were patients.

Tommy Medina, 35, worked at OC Kids Dental at 630 S. Main Street in Santa Ana, where the assaults occurred in 2012 and 2013.

A third victim came forward after a preliminary hearing on the first case, the Orange County Register reported.

One victim said she was 9 years old when she had a dental procedure at the office and was taken into a private room where Medina put her on a bed and placed a leather cloth over her eyes before assaulting her, according to police testimony.

Another victim said she was sexually assaulted by Medina in the same way when she visited the dental office at around 5 or 6 years old in 2013.

Medina was charged and later pleaded guilty to the crimes. He waived about 2 1/2 years of custody credits as part of a plea deal offer from the judge, the O.C. Register reported, a move that prosecutors objected to.

On April 9, 2026, he was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender.

UPDATE: Milwaukee man accused of chaining girl in basement set for trial following jury status hearing
Devin Willems
Wed, April 8, 2026

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 12:32 P.M.

(WFRV) – A Milwaukee man accused of chaining an underage girl in a basement and forcing her to drink puddle water had a court hearing at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

Court records show 65-year-old David Boyd, while in custody, appeared with an attorney for the decision hearing. The court granted admission of three forensic interviews relative to the case.

The jury trial set for 9 a.m. on April 27 is still scheduled, along with a jury status hearing on April 23 at 8:30 a.m.

Court records show 65-year-old David Boyd and his attorney were in court for a final pre-trial hearing. During the hearing, the state placed an offer to Boyd on the record, an offer he chose to reject.

On January 7, 2025, CPS received a report claiming an underage girl was sexually assaulted by her grand-godmother’s boyfriend, identified as Boyd. The alleged assaults happened when the victim was between eight and nine years old, the complaint said.

The victim provided details to authorities of the alleged assaults. The complaint says a nurse practitioner found multiple scars on the victim, which the victim said were caused by Boyd using a knife on her.

Towards the end of February, the victim again spoke with authorities. She claimed that Boyd chained her arms to a pole in a basement. In the complaint, she also mentioned Boyd denied her food and was ‘chained up’ long enough that she missed several days of school.

The complaint said she told authorities she drank water on the floor while she was chained up.

On April 16, authorities executed a search warrant at a residence where they found items that were consistent with descriptions the victim provided. The complaint said there were chains found in the basement.




Authorities said they made numerous attempts to speak with Boyd. Eventually, he reportedly agreed to come to the Brown Deer Police Department to talk.

Boyd is charged with:

Repeated sexual assault of a child
Felony
Up to 60 years in prison
Physical abuse of a child, use of a dangerous weapon
Felony
Up to six years in prison (can be increased by six due to using a dangerous weapon)
Trafficking of a child
Felony
Up to 40 years in prison
False imprisonment
Felony
Up to six years in prison
Repeated sexual assault of a child
Felony

Court records show Boyd was in court on April 28 for his initial appearance. His cash bond was set at $100,000. The charges were field in Milwaukee County.

He is scheduled to be back in court on May 7 for a preliminary hearing.

Former Gettysburg Mayor Arrested in Texas for Sexually Assaulting 3 More Victims

Former Gettysburg mayor Chad-Allen Carr has been arrested in Texas after fleeing from Pennsylvania where he faced charges of sexual assault and abuse.

The former mayor of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, has been arrested in Texas, where authorities claim is where he fled to after learning more victims had come forward to accuse him of sexual assault and abuse.

Chad-Allen Carr was apprehended in Anderson County after a warrant had been issued this week for his arrest, according to Adams County Sheriff Joshua Fitting.

The warrant was issued on Wednesday, April 8, but when police went to arrest Carr, 48, they discovered he was no longer in Gettysburg.

Fitting stated in a Facebook post that Carr's arrest was coordinated with the Anderson County Sheriff's Office, who successfully took Carr into custody.

"I want to commend our Warrant Apprehension Unit and extend my sincere thanks to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office for their swift cooperation and professionalism in bringing this matter to a safe and successful conclusion," Fitting added.

The arrest warrant charges Carr with two second-degree felony counts of sexual assault, a second-degree felony count of photographing, filming or depicting child sex acts on a computer and two misdemeanor counts of corruption of minors. Pennsylvania State Police arrested him in March on two felony counts of photograph/film/depict on computer sex acts involving a child and one misdemeanor count of corruption of minors.

Police said the other victims came forward after Carr's March 13 arrest made the news.

Carr resigned as Gettysburg's mayor on March 4, only about two months after he was sworn in. Alison Lintal was appointed by the Gettysburg Borough Council to replace him on March 23.

Police spoke to a mother whose son was assaulted by Carr 10 years ago.

"(Victim 1) advised that in October of 2015, he had met Carr on Grindr and they had met twice at Carr's residence. (He) reported that the first time nothing sexual happened between the two, but the second time was when the assault occurred," reads the arrest affidavit.

The victim said Carr had a large cart of alcohol, which he offered the teen, and then later sexually assaulted him, even though the victim had said no. "(Victim 1) advised he told his mother about the assault, but didn't tell her who it was, until seeing the press release with Carr's photo on it," the affidavit states.

Victim #2 told state police he also had an allegation against Carr, whom he met when he was 18. He moved in with Carr in December 2014 and moved out in October of 2015 and told cops he was made to work for him and clean his house in lieu of rent. The abuse was not sexual in nature, at first. Then, one evening, Carr allegedly raped them in their room.

Investigators said victim #2 did not feel ready to report the assault until he saw others coming out in the news.

Victim #3 said they were a juvenile who "was going to summer camps at Eichelberger Performing Arts Center, which would happen throughout the summer. He explained that he began there at 15 years old and was in contact with Chad Carr. He related that during this time he was in a physical relationship with another adult at the theater at that time. He stated that these incidents would occur with Carr at house parties, which occurred at the instructors' apartments," the affidavit states.

Victim #3 drank at the parties and was groomed by Carr, according to investigators.

Pennsylvania Man Who Raped and Beat Children, Locked Victims in Dog Kennels Sentenced to Prison

Andrew Allamon of Perry County, Pennsylvania, was sentenced to 65.5 to 131 years in prison for raping four children over decades, using a pocket knife during sex acts and cruel punishments.

A Pennsylvania man accused of raping four children over a span of decades “will be behind bars for the rest of his life,” the state’s attorney general announced.

Andrew Allamon, of Perry County, was found guilty in October of multiple counts of rape, unlawful contact with a minor, sexual assault, indecent assault of a child, and endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.

Allamon’s conviction stemmed from years of him using his “relationships with the victims to carry out evil, disgusting acts,” Attorney General Dave Sunday previously said in a news release issued on October 31, 2025.

According to prosecutors, Allamon sexually abused victims while armed with a pocket knife.

He allegedly used the knife “during sex acts and in other apparent acts of cruelty,” against the minor victims, the state attorney general’s office said.

If the children “did not comply” with the abuse, Allamon allegedly beat them and forced punishments, including by locking victims inside dog kennels and making them “eat out of dog bowls,” according to prosecutors.

On Tuesday, March 10, a Perry County judge handed Allamon a sentence of 65.5 years to 131 years in prison in connection with four victims, the attorney general’s office said in a news release issued that same day.

“This defendant no longer presents a threat to anyone in our communities,” Sunday said in a statement.

“We hope the survivors who bravely testified at trial can take solace from this outcome and continue moving on with their lives,” Sunday added.

In an emailed statement to Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 11, Allamon’s defense attorney Shawn M. Stottlemyer said that “Mr. Allamon's sentence, although not unexpected given the outcome of the trial, is very lengthy.”

“Mr. Allamon maintained his innocence throughout the Sentencing Hearing and looks forward to exercising his post-sentence and appellate rights,” Stottlemyer added.

After an investigation was launched by Pennsylvania State Police, criminal charges were filed against Allamon in September 2023 in connection with alleged sexual abuse beginning in 1990, according to police, the Daily Voice reported.

Allamon is accused of raping children as young as 5 and 9, investigators said, according to the outlet.

Before Allamon was convicted in October in connection with four victims, he was found guilty of unlawful touching and attempted indecent assault in connection with a fifth victim, according to the attorney general’s office.

In April 2025, he was sentenced to four to eight years in prison on those charges, the attorney general’s office said.

Perry County is about a 30-mile drive northwest from Harrisburg.

Former May River High security guard charged after allegedly having sex with student
Natasha Young
Thu, April 9, 2026

BEAUFORT COUNTY, S.C. (WSAV) — A former private security guard for May River High School was arrested and charged after allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old student in October 2025, officials announced Thursday.

Twenty-nine-year-old Austin Taylor Thompson is charged with sexual battery with a student 16 years of age and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a high school teacher suspected of having a sexual relationship with a student.

Investigators report that Kirsten Rose, a 37-year-old math teacher at Cocoa Beach Jr/Sr High School, was arrested after an investigation by the agency’s Special Victims Unit. She is charged with lewd and indecent conduct by an authority figure and five counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor.

The case started in March when a male student’s parents became worried about their son’s actions. He came home late from work, leading them to check his location, and they found he was at an unfamiliar house.

Initially, the student said he was visiting a girlfriend but refused to give her name. After more questions, he revealed he was in a relationship with his teacher.

Investigators state that the relationship started with communication on Instagram outside of school in November 2025. Authorities claim the interactions persisted for several months before turning sexual in February and March 2026.

Based on evidence collected during the investigation, Rose was taken into custody and booked into Brevard County Jail, where she remains held without bond.

Officials state that the investigation is still in progress. They invite anyone with more information to reach out to the Special Victims Unit of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.

Because of Trump, the US Pays $88 billion a Month on National Debt Interest

The U.S. government is spending $88 billion a month in interest on national debt—equal to spending on defense and education combined

The problem with an increasing debt burden is that it costs more to maintain it: This is precisely the issue with which the U.S. Treasury is wrangling at present. As total U.S. national debt ticks over $39 trillion, the interest payments on that value are eye-watering: $529 billion for the first six months of the current fiscal year.

A new budget update from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released yesterday highlights that the government—according to preliminary estimates—paid out the near $530 billion between October 2025, when the fiscal year starts, and March 2026. This equates to more than $88 billion in interest payments a month, or more than $22 billion a week.

That means the service payments on public debt are roughly equal to spending for the same period on both the Department of Defense’s military budget and the Department of Education. These two outlays contribute costs of $461 billion and $70 billion respectively.

The net interest payments on public debt are also increasing at a pace. For the same period last year, the Treasury paid $497 billion to service its debt. The difference from last year to this is a $33 billion leap—or 7% more than before.

The CBO report notes service payments increased “because the debt was larger than it was in the first half of fiscal year 2025 and because of higher long-term interest rates. Declines in short-term interest rates partially mitigated the overall rise in interest payments.”

The wider debt picture

Efforts are being made to rebalance the books, with the likes of President Trump’s tariffs playing a role.

The CBO’s latest monthly update showed that receipts for the first half of the year totaled $2.5 trillion, an increase of $223 billion on the same six-month period last year. Outlays have also increased, but at a slower pace: up $84 billion from $3.57 trillion in 2025 to $3.65 trillion in 2026.

Despite the increase in revenues for the government, a significant deficit still emerged: $1.2 trillion for the first six months of the current fiscal year. Although this was an $140 billion improvement on the deficit for last year, it still represents borrowing of more than $2 trillion for the full fiscal year.

Of that deficit, the latest report shows that in March alone the government borrowed $163 billion—$3 billion more than the deficit recorded for the previous March.

The update did little to impress the likes of Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. In a statement she said: “Both Congress and the president continue to ignore the urgent need to get our borrowing under control. As lawmakers consider the budget process for the upcoming fiscal year, we hope that they come up with plans to reduce deficits from the too-high 6% of GDP to a more sustainable 3% of GDP; secure our nation’s ailing trust funds for Social Security, Medicare, and highways; and ultimately fix the broken process that got us into this mess.”
