Chicago: Authorities Seize 130 Fake Vaccination Cards as 22 Shot over Weekend

by Leave a Comment

U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) authorities in Chicago seized two parcels of counterfeit vaccination cards bound to the greater Detroit area from Moldova.

In a tweet Wednesday morning, CBP Chicago announced it had intercepted the packages, one containing 100 false vaccination cards and the other carrying 30 phony cards.

According to CBP Chicago, the cards were headed to two separate addresses in Livonia, Michigan, and were sent from the Eastern European country of Moldova.

In a separate incident in upstate New York this month, a couple allegedly presented falsified vaccination cards to enter a Buffalo Bills playoff game on January 15, Breitbart News reports. They were arraigned Tuesday and could face up to seven years in prison if convicted.

While the CBP cracks down on counterfeit vaccination cards in Democrat-run Chicago, twenty-two people were shot in the Windy City over the weekend, according to Breitbart News’s AWR Hawkins. Five of the individuals shot between Friday and Sunday succumbed to their injuries and died.

Moreover, Hawkins noted that during the weekend of January 14-16, at least twenty-nine people were shot, with four being fatally wounded. On New Year’s weekend, Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago saw thirty-one shootings, with six fatalities.

Breitbart News previously reported that almost “100 murder suspects were free on home monitoring in Chicago, rather than being behind bars,” on January 11.

California Mom Sues School District: Claims Teachers Gave Daughter ‘Tips on How to Bind Her Breasts’

by Leave a Comment

A California mother is taking legal action against the Spreckels Union School District (SUSD), claiming that two LGBTQ activist teachers “secretly manipulated” her 11-year-old daughter “into believing she was a transgender boy and gave tips on how to bind her breasts.”

Jessica Konen took action against SUSD with a legal claim stating two teachers, Lori Caldeira and Kelly Baraki, from the Buena Vista Middle School, who headed the school’s Equality Club, suggested her daughter was bisexual in sixth grade. Konen also claimed that, without her knowledge, school officials then created a “gender support plan” for her daughter.

Harmeet Dhillon, founder and CEO of the Center for American Liberty, filed the case on behalf of Konen.

“Parents are supposed to have access to all the educational records of their children,” Dhillon told DailyMail.com. “The concept that the schools have a right to be running secret, don’t-tell-your-parents clubs and don’t-tell-your-parents programs and actively coaching children how to mutilate themselves, which is you know, not growing your breasts, is certainly not consistent with California law.”

Since filing the case, Dhillon added that she’s heard from parents in other states as well, who report “secretive trans grooming” by school officials, along the same lines as Konen describes.

Konen’s legal claim is a likely precursor to a lawsuit, the news outlet reported.

As Breitbart News reported in December, Konen claimed two years ago that the two teachers indoctrinated her daughter into identifying as “trans fluid” after encouraging her to join their lunchtime LGBTQ group they were calling the “Equality Club”:

Konen told the Epoch Times that toward the end of her sixth-grade year, her daughter informed her she might be bisexual, and later on, in December 2019, when her child was in seventh-grade, Konen said she was called to the school for a meeting with her daughter, a teacher, and the school principal.

During that meeting, the teacher reportedly told Konen that her daughter was “trans fluid.”

Additionally, Konen said the teacher accused her of not being “emotionally supportive” of her daughter’s new gender identity and criticized her for not using her daughter’s new name and pronouns. The teacher reportedly stated Konen’s daughter would now be using the unisex bathroom at school.

“I felt she completely coached my child,” Konen said at the time. “It made me feel very, very small as a parent. I was unaware of anything. Not one time had she mentioned to me, ‘Oh, I think that I want to change my name,’ or ‘I’m transgender or anything. Nothing. I only heard bisexual one time, and that was it.”

Konen reported that, within several days of that meeting, the King City Police Department visited her home to inform her a Child Protective Services (CPS) complaint had been filed against her.

The Epoch Times noted the police officers questioned both of Konen’s children, asking if they wished to be removed from the home.

Ultimately, Konen said CPS dropped the case. However, after additional meetings with teachers, the mother discovered that her daughter had also searched online for information regarding suicide, another surprising revelation she had heard nothing about from school personnel.

Konen reported once schools closed in March 2020 due to the pandemic lockdowns, her daughter returned to identifying as a girl.

Finally, Konen removed her daughter, now 14, from that school and enrolled her elsewhere. She reported to the Epoch Times that her daughter is now using her birth name and feminine pronouns.

In November, author and journalist Abigail Shrier revealed that leaked authenticated documents showed Caldeira and Baraki from the Buena Vista Middle School boasted a month earlier at a California Teachers Association (CTA) meeting about their “best practices for subverting parents, conservative communities and school principals on issues of gender identity and sexual orientation.”

“Speakers went so far as to tout their surveillance of students’ Google searches, internet activity, and hallway conversations in order to target sixth graders for personal invitations to LGBTQ clubs, while actively concealing these clubs’ membership rolls from participants’ parents,” Shrier noted.

Caldeira and Baraki asserted their alleged activity of “stalking” children online to search for those they perceived might be transgender were “only made in jest,” the DailyMail.com report said.

According to Shrier, the two teachers led a workshop about how to run a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club in conservative communities.

“Because we are not official – we have no club rosters, we keep no records,” Caldeira reportedly said. “In fact, sometimes we don’t really want to keep records because if parents get upset that their kids are coming? We’re like, ‘Yeah, I don’t know. Maybe they came?’ You know, we would never want a kid to get in trouble for attending if their parents are upset.”

Baraki was reportedly heard describing how she has changed the name of her “GSA” to the “Equity Club,” and then later to “You Be You,” or UBU, in order to keep parents deferential.

“When we were doing our virtual learning – we totally stalked what they were doing on Google when they weren’t doing school work,” Baraki reportedly said in the leaked recording. “One of them was googling ‘Trans Day of Visibility.’ And we’re like, ‘Check.’ We’re going to invite that kid when we get back on campus.’”

Caldeira, who had been awarded as a role model for inclusion, reportedly defended hers and Baraki’s efforts, stating the teachers offered honest answers to students’ questions, DailyMail.com reported.

Following Shrier’s report and other media coverage, SUSD officials responded by stating:

Many of the comments and themes stated in the article are alarming, concerning, disappointing, and do not in any way reflect the District or Board of Education’s policies and practices.

“Regarding the teachers involved, appropriate personnel steps are being taken to make sure such activities and comments will not be repeated,” the district stated.

In November, the teachers were reportedly placed on administrative leave, and their UBU club was suspended.

CTA defended its conference stating it was one of many offered to “help educators understand the need to protect students from discrimination, including sexual orientation and gender identity or expression,” according to DailyMail.com.

“We are concerned about a political climate right now in which outside political forces fuel chaos and misinformation and seek to divide parents, educators and school communities for their own political gain, which is evident in this complaint,” CTA spokeswoman Lisa Gardiner reportedly said.

“The Center for American Liberty is concerned with pushing its own political agenda through litigation and has filed multiple lawsuits against various school districts and communities,” she added.

Attorney Peter Renn of LGBTQ activist organization Lambda Legal also told DailyMail.com, “Outside of school, these students may similarly face potential hostility at home because of who they are.”

“For example, involuntarily outing a student as LGBTQ to their parents can very well lead to them getting kicked out of the home in some circumstances,” he said, according to the report.

WATCH: Florida Man Fights Off Black Bear on Porch, Saves Dogs

by Leave a Comment

Shocking video shows the moment a Florida man fought off a black bear on his porch, saving his dachshunds.

The attack occurred Wednesday night in Daytona Beach, according to WFTV, and video of the incident, captured on Ring doorbell footage, was released by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

The video shows the black bear lunging over a gate in the porch’s doorway as the dogs run over to investigate the intruder. Walter Hickox then dives at the predator and pushes it back through the door as it swipes at his back. Once the bear is off the porch, he moves a bench to the entrance to keep the animal out of the residence.

“Oh my God! I just got attacked by a bear,” he yells.

His injuries were non-life-threatening, and the bear did not harm the dogs, the FWC said.

Hickox spoke with WFTV about the wild incident.

“Not a lot went through my head at the moment, other than what’s going to happen if he gets past me and into the house where the rest of my dogs and my wife was at,” Hickox explained.

His neighbor, Elliot Michael, told WKMG that bears frequent the area, and it seemed the predator was a mother with her cubs.

“Looked like a mom protecting one of her cubs. Cubs rifle through the garbage, they went away. Mama bear went back, then the dogs start barking,” he said.

A trap was set up outside of Hickox’s home.

“FWC says they’re going to continue their efforts to find the bear,” said Mark Lehman of WKMG. “The agency saying, If captured it’s their policy to humanely kill the animal because it poses a threat to human safety.

In a similar incident, a black bear attacked a DeBary woman named Aydee while she walked her dog on January 13. She “suffered non-life-threatening injuries, including scratches on her face, hands and back,” WKMG reports.

Her dog was uninjured, and the bear was captured and killed.

The FWC provided several tips for individuals when encountering a bear:

  • “Don’t run; running may trigger a chase response. Back away slowly in the opposite direction and wait for the bear to leave.”
  • “From a safe distance, make loud noises to scare away the bear.”
  • “Give the bear a clear escape route (do not corner it).”
  • “If the bear makes contact with you, fight back aggressively.”
  • “If your dog and a bear make contact, make noise and use bear spray or a water hose to try and break them up.”

“The FWC receives up to 6,000 bear-related calls a year and have documented only 15 incidents of people being moderately to seriously injured by bears” a press release from the agency states.

The Graves County Sheriff’s Office and Graves County Schools in Kentucky were recently given several patrol cars thanks to a Florida sheriff’s office.

“Palm Beach County Sgt. and Trigg County native Tony Combs delivered four fully equipped patrol vehicles to Mayfield,” the West Kentucky Star reported Wednesday.

Two cars were presented to the sheriff’s office and the remaining pair were given to the Graves County school system for resource officers.

The gift was at the request of Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw when he learned so many of the county’s patrol cars had been destroyed in the recent storm.

However, it was not the only time the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office reached out to give Graves County a helping hand.

“The Graves County Sheriff’s Office said just days after the December 10 tornado, Combs delivered trailer loads of supplies from Florida,” the Star report noted.

In a social media post on December 11, the Graves County Sheriff’s Office said the community suffered a massive tragedy the previous night.

“At around 9:30PM, a very large and dangerous tornado entered Graves County from Hickman County. The tornado crossed Graves County into the city limits of Mayfield,” the post read, adding it left a devastating path going west to east.

The agency included photos of severely damaged patrol vehicles with smashed windows. One of the cars appeared to have a large piece of wood protruding from its side:

The agency expressed its thanks to the area’s neighbors for the kindness shown to so many people after the storm took place.

“We are thankful that Deputies Chander Sirls and Richard Edwards escaped injury when the tornado struck their patrol vehicles while driving in the Baltimore area. Deputies had placed themselves in danger to enable them to tend to potential victims quickly,” the post said.

Deputies: Florida Teen Motivated by ‘Scream’ Schemed to Kill Jogger, Keep Body in Closet ‘All to Himself’

by Leave a Comment

A Florida teen reportedly motivated by the movie Scream has been charged with attempted murder after deputies say he tried to kill a man so he could “place the victim’s body into his closet” where he could keep the “body all to himself.”

Logan Smith, 18, of Cocoa, was arrested on January 17 and is currently being held without bond, according to online arrest records from the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.

On January 17, Smith allegedly attempted to strangle a male jogger and was subsequently “overpowered by his victim and detained until deputies arrived at the scene,” WOFL reports, citing an arrest report.

Before the attack, Smith allegedly collected “a rubber mallet, an aerosol Axe deodorant can and a clothing robe belt,” and stashed them between cars in his driveway, per the outlet.

According to WOFL:

“The defendant walked directly across his street where he hid behind a light pole. He placed the mallet and the Axe aerosol on the ground next to him while he waited for the [victim] to come running down the street as he did regularly for exercise. The defendant waited for the victim to run past the light pole and proceeded to run after him,” a deputy wrote in the arrest affidavit. “The defendant then tossed the clothing robe belt over the victim’s head until it was around the front area of the victim’s neck.”

The victim knew right away what was happening and put to use his martial arts skills to stop Smith, deputies said.

WOFL reports:

Smith said he was going to kill the victim by strangulation, before dragging his body into his home on the bedsheet, deputies said. He explained that the mallet would be used to strike the victim and the aerosol would be used to spray the victim’s eyes, disabling his vision, deputies said.

“He further planned to place the victim’s body into his closet where the defendant stated no one would know, and the defendant could have the victim’s body all to himself. The defendant stated that he also planned to play with the victim to fulfill his sexual fantasies,” the arrest report said.

Smith allegedly told deputies he had been observing the man for six weeks and was analyzing his route, which passed by Smith’s residence. The report said he informed deputies he decided to try to kill the man after watching the movie Scream, according to additional reporting by WOFL.

His mother’s boyfriend spoke to the outlet about the 18-year-old.

“We just thought it was odd that he wanted to go out to the movies by himself. A person like Logan is more of a loner. They don’t like to go out of their comfort zone,” said the man, who is not identified by the outlet, and has known the defendant for a year. 

“He wouldn’t have been the kid you invited to the cool parties. He wouldn’t be the kid that had the cool shoes,” he said.
