Paramedic who forced partner to take abortion drugs gets slammer time

A Scottish paramedic was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison for sexually assaulting his pregnant lover by secretly injecting her with abortion drugs, killing their unborn baby."Stephen Doohan, a former clinical team leader with the Scottish Ambulance Service, was convicted of assaulting and sexually assaulting the pregnant woman," said the report. "He was also placed on the sex offenders register and made subject to a non-harassment order preventing him from contacting the victim indefinitely."

Doohan met the woman while on a vacation in Ibiza. The pair continued to meet around once a month.

"After she informed him of her positive pregnancy test and identified him as the father, they agreed to keep the baby following her visit to Edinburgh, where he had separated from his wife.""In March 2023, while they were intimate, Doohan penetrated the woman’s vagina without her consent and inserted a syringe containing the abortion drug misoprostol, which he had researched using his workplace account," the account continued. "The woman said she 'felt something hard' being pushed into her and assumed it was a sex toy."

"The next day, a white substance began to come out of her vagina and she experienced stomach cramps."

"Two days later, he repeated the assault, placing more of the drug in her vagina in similar circumstances."

"When confronted, Doohan initially denied his actions before admitting them. He warned her that he would be arrested if she told anyone, and the pair rehearsed explanations for the miscarriage."

"The woman later fell unconscious after taking a shower and experienced heavier bleeding. She was taken to the hospital, where she was told the abortion drug was killing the baby."

"Procurator fiscal Fiona Kirkby said Doohan’s 'calculated and heinous actions caused the loss of the victim’s pregnancy, robbing her of plans she had for the future.' She added that he has now been held accountable for this 'fundamental breach of trust.'"

"A Health & Care Professions Tribunal Service panel struck Doohan off the medical register, ruling that he 'planned an illegal abortion by using unauthorized access to medical information via his workplace.' The panel said he 'deliberately and intentionally sexually assaulted' the woman 'to abort their unborn child' and 'later attempted to persuade her to take the blame for the illegal abortion.'"

"His actions caused the victim 'not only physical harm but also ongoing emotional and psychological harm,' leaving her with the 'anguish' of her miscarriage and his 'breach of trust.'""This case highlights the vulnerability of unborn children and the risks women face when abusers exploit chemical abortion drugs to kill the baby against the mother’s wishes."

"In a separate case illustrating the same pattern of coercion, one woman described feeling 'trapped and terrified' after her boyfriend forced her to take abortion pills."

"She said: 'If there was an in-person doctor’s visit when I was going through my situation, I would have been able to at least have one scapegoat to go to, and tell them, I do not want an abortion. I’m getting coerced into this. I need help. But I did not have that opportunity.'"

Republican wins GA seat to replace MTG in special election

Republican Clayton Fuller has defeated Democrat Shawn Harris to win the special election runoff in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, replacing former GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG).

LOL

Fuller, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, won Tuesday’s special election for the U.S. House seat, leading Harris 57.5% to 42.5% with 86% of the vote counted, according to the Associated Press.

The race comes after the March 10th election, where no candidate reached the 50% threshold needed to secure an outright victory. Harris and Fuller, the two leading vote-getters, then advanced to a runoff.

The seat was vacated by Greene after she announced in November that she would step down on January 5, 2026, the day before the start of the 119th Congress. Her departure came amid a turbulent political period, closing an era that included moments of tension and controversy, but also, prior die-hard loyalty to President Trump.

After Greene began publicly complaining about the Trump administration and shifting leftward politically, as described by conservative pundits, Trump decisively withdrew his support, calling her a “traitor” while underscoring his commitment to backing candidates who fully align with his vision for the Republican Party.

Meanwhile, this election comes amid Republicans clinging on to a thin 218-214 majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

In the 2024 presidential election, Trump carried the district by a whopping 37 points.

AOC shows her true feelings about Jews

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Communist-Queens) is now opposed to funding defensive shields that could save the lives of innocent civilians, but only "if they are Israelis."

Seems like she is trying to win back the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America that spurned her in 2024 for not hating the Jewish state enough. Or maybe she is just showing her true colors, which seems more probable.

Her re-hardened anti-Israel position comes even though she is not facing any significant opposition in her re-election campaign, which raises and spends so much money it is more like a good-sized business than a scrappy Bronx-Queens political operation; she does not need the DSA's endorsement. Remember, New York City residents would vote for dog poo if it's shaped into a "D."

But she got her fellow anti-Semitic socialists/communists mad at her because she abstained from voting to deny funding for Israel's strictly defensive Iron Dome project, which protects Israelis "Jewish and Arab" from the tens of thousands of missiles that have been lobbed from Iran's regional terror proxies.

She did not vote for it, mind you "but not voting against it infuriated the 'anti-Zionists' who think it is unfair that Israel's enemies do not have Iron Domes of their own and have no problem seeing Israeli civilians obliterated."

AOC herself admits the Iron Dome "has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment." But why should Jews enjoy the safety it offers, she seems to believe.

But that is the problem: The Iron Dome works. 

The pro-Iran, pro-Hezbollah wing of the Democratic Party is bitterly disappointed that so few ballistic missiles have gotten past the Iron Dome to fulfill their AI-fueled fantasies of Tel Aviv burning and civilians dying, including babies.

AOC says Israel can afford to pay for its own defense, which is true, though this objection overlooks the cooperative nature of the Iron Dome project, which is a joint US-Israel venture.

The proposed "Golden Dome" to protect the US homeland draws on the example of the Iron Dome, and involvement in Israel's missile defense gives us an invaluable source of real-life war-fighting technical data.

AOC's resumption of strident anti-Israel dogma will signal other Democrats that they can nudge themselves a few steps in that direction, too, especially the ones who have national ambitions. Already, an increasing number of Democrats, including Gavin Newsom, Cory Booker and Tom Steyer have announced that they will reject contributions from AIPAC because they really want the other side to win when it comes to those, you know, Joooooze!

But denying America's vital ally, Israel, funds for a defensive measure that protects civilian lives is beyond that pale.

AOC has made it absolutely clear where she stands when it comes to the Jewish state and she remains a low intelligence congresswoman with aspirations to run for higher office and bring communism to the USA.

NATO ally blocks airspace to military sorties over Iran

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez (Yves Herman/Reuters)

Spain has blocked US military aircraft from its airspace and denied access to the Rota and Morón bases over the Iran conflict.

A growing standoff between President Trump and a key NATO ally escalated Monday after Spain blocked U.S. military aircraft involved in the Iran conflict from using its airspace, marking the latest rupture between Washington and Madrid over defense policy and the war in the Middle East.

Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles confirmed the move, saying Spain has denied both airspace access and the use of joint U.S.-Spanish bases for any operations tied to the Iran conflict.

"This was made perfectly clear to the American military and forces from the very beginning," Robles said. "Neither the bases are authorized, nor, of course, is the use of Spanish airspace authorized for any actions related to the war in Iran."

Spain already had refused to allow U.S. forces to use the strategically critical Rota and Morón bases in southern Spain, installations long viewed as key hubs for American military operations into Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The expansion of that restriction to Spanish airspace effectively cuts off another logistical pathway for U.S. operations and signals that Madrid is willing to directly limit U.S. military movement despite its NATO membership.

The dispute has increasingly become a direct clash between Trump and Spain’s left-wing government under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, which has taken one of the most outspoken positions in Europe against U.S. and Israeli military action.

Sánchez has described the Iran war as "illegal," "reckless" and "unjust," and his government has framed its refusal to cooperate as a matter of international law and national sovereignty.

"This decision is part of the decision already made by the Spanish government not to participate in or contribute to a war which was initiated unilaterally and against international law," Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo said in a radio interview when asked whether the move could further strain ties with the United States.

Trump previously lashed out at Spain after it denied base access, saying, "We’re going to cut off all trade with Spain" and "We don’t want anything to do with Spain."

A White House official downplayed Spain's latest move.

"The United States Military is meeting or surpassing all of its goals under Operation Epic Fury and does not need help from Spain or anyone else," the official told Fox News Digital.

The U.S. maintains a significant military presence in Spain under long-standing bilateral agreements, including Naval Station Rota and Morón Air Base, which serve as key hubs for American forces moving between the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Naval Station Rota, in particular, supports U.S. Navy operations in the Mediterranean and hosts warships tied to the U.S. Sixth Fleet, some of which have been operating in the broader Iran conflict.

Spain’s earlier decision to bar the use of those bases for Iran-related operations forced U.S. aircraft, including refueling tankers, to relocate to other European bases such as Germany and France.

The standoff also reflects broader, long-running friction between Trump and Spain over defense spending and burden-sharing inside NATO, where Madrid has lagged behind alliance targets, an issue Trump has repeatedly used to pressure European allies.

Spain’s decision underscores a deeper divide within NATO over how to respond to the Iran conflict, with Madrid emerging as one of the clearest dissenting voices willing to translate political opposition into operational limits on U.S. military activity.

Robles reiterated that position Monday, calling the war "profoundly illegal and profoundly unjust," underscoring Spain’s continued resistance despite pressure from Washington.

This episode reveals something larger than a mere logistical disagreement. It exposes the fragility of the Western alliance when one of its members, driven by ideological fervor rather than strategic necessity, chooses to obstruct the defense of shared interests. Spain under Sánchez has not merely withheld cooperation, it has actively hindered the United States at a moment of genuine crisis. Such behavior raises profound questions about what NATO truly means in the twenty-first century, if its members can pick and choose their commitments based on domestic political posturing. The willingness of Madrid to treat American military movements as optional, even as threats gather in the Middle East, suggests a dangerous erosion of the very solidarity that once defined the alliance.

Federal judge upholds former wI judge who tried to help illegal alien escape

Disgraced former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah C. Dugan has failed to get her conviction overturned. 

A federal judge has rejected a desperate attempt by a former Wisconsin state judge to overturn her federal felony conviction after she helped an illegal migrant escape through her courtroom back door, which is a crime as it obstructs law enforcement business.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman on April 6 denied a motion from Dugan seeking an acquittal or a new trial after a federal jury found her guilty in December of obstructing a federal proceeding.

In his ruling, Judge Adelman said the federal government presented sufficient evidence that Dugan took deliberate steps to hinder federal officials from attempting to carry out an administrative arrest tied to immigration removal proceedings.

The judge also rejected arguments that the jury was improperly instructed or that the obstruction statute was applied too broadly. It seems as if Dugan isn't a very good judge.

Dugan, a leftist and disgraced former Milwaukee County judge, had been indicted following the events of April 18, 2025 when federal officials tried to arrest an illegal migrant suspect at the courthouse. Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agencies arrived at the Milwaukee County Courthouse to arrest violent suspect and Mexican national, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz. He had an administrative immigration warrant and a prior removal order.

Boston sends mental health worker to deal with violent criminal: worker injured, suspect shot dead by cops

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu

Police "reforms" in Boston replaced cops with mental health clinicians and social workers, and on Saturday one of those clinicians was attacked by a delusional man wielding a sword. The suspect, who has not been publicly identified, attacked the clinician as well as police officers with a sword. 

Cops responded by shooting and killing the suspect.

The incident took place near the Northeastern University campus on Saturday morning in Boston. Officers were responding to a 911 call about four people armed with guns and the caller was in the apartment building. After officers arrived at 212 Hemenway Street and located the disturbance they called in a mental health professional with the Boston's BEST program, according to Mass Daily News.

The program, in which mental health professionals ride along with cops to de-escalate tense situations, has been running since 2011. The EMS clinician deployed to the scene spoke to the man for 45 minutes through the door before the suspect pushed open the door and attacked. 

"He immediately opened the door and struck the clinician and an officer who was outside the door. He was armed with some type of sword, stabbing the officer in the arm and knocking the EMS clinician to the ground," Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said. "One or more officers, which is under investigation at this time, fired a taser and weapon at the individual, bringing the person to a halt."

The suspect as well as the officers and clinician that were attacked by the suspect were taken to the hospital. The suspect was later pronounced dead. "This was a very chaotic circumstance. The individual was clearly in some sort of mental distress," Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said.

Boston EMS said in a statement that their employee had gotten injured in the altercation."Our focus tonight remains on the two members of Boston EMS, including one of our BEST clinicians, who were treated and transported to the hospital after the incident on Hemenway Street in Boston. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries," the statement read.

"Today serves as a reminder of the dangers inherent in this work and the sacrifice our members make every day. Members of Boston EMS show up to save lives, not to be assaulted. No one should face violence for simply doing their job. Our thoughts are with our injured members, the Boston Police officers, and everyone affected by today’s incident."

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell outed by the FEC on possible campaign funds misuse

Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has been exposed for using Campaign Funds to pay his wife for babysitting their kids, ages 8, 7, and 4.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings and reporting on Eric "Gasman" Swalwell show that his use of campaign funds for childcare: reimbursed him for at least $200,000 (some reports cite over $244,000) for childcare expenses between 2019 and 2025.

This is the highest amount spent on childcare by any House member in that period, which may imply expenses that may have included kids designer clothes, silk diapers, a lot of dining out at high-end restaurants, multiple trips to Disney Land, and three Lamborghini kiddy cars. 

In recent gubernatorial campaign filings, the committee made three payments totaling $6,068 directly to his wife, Brittany Swalwell, labeled for "childcare." Uh-huh, sure. This is what campaign donors paid for and we're to believe Swalwell, and many other Capitol Hill dwellers, are as honest as the day is long?

The campaign has also made substantial payments to third-party babysitters/nannies (e.g., over $102,000 to one longtime nanny) and daycare providers, with some reimbursements going back to Swalwell himself.

Nannies are lining up everywhere in California for a job with Gasman.

FEC rules (established via advisory opinions, including one sought by Swalwell) allow campaign funds for childcare only when expenses are a "direct result of campaign activity,"  meaning they would not have been incurred otherwise (e.g., when the candidate travels for their own campaign and the spouse is unavailable). 

The FEC has explicitly barred using funds for childcare during travel for other candidates' campaigns or at the request of foreign governments.

Critics, including campaign finance experts, have called the scale of spending (including post-election payments and reimbursements to himself or family) a "slippery slope" or potentially personal use of donor money, noting that childcare is inherently a personal expense. Watchdogs have filed complaints over post-election babysitter payments (e.g., ~$17,000 in late 2022).

 
Swalwell and his wife have a combined household income averaging over $444,000 annually (2021–2024), placing them in the top 5% of D.C.-area households. He earns a congressional salary of ~$184,000, and his wife has earned $200,000–$250,000 in various roles, such as babysitting and taking in wash. [She works her fingers to the bone.]

Swalwell has defended the practice as a "pro-family" policy enabled by FEC precedents that apply to other candidates as well (e.g., some Democrats like the execrable Ilhan Omar (MN) have also used campaign funds for childcare). 

His campaign has stated the expenses tie to his schedule and that he is not a billionaire unlike some rivals.  These payments are disclosed in public FEC filings and have been the subject of multiple news reports and past complaints, though no final determination of illegality has been universally confirmed across all instances. The core controversy centers on whether all claimed "campaign-related" childcare truly qualifies under FEC standards versus routine family needs.

Ye Wireless gigs "deeply concerning", Starmer says: Pepsi pulls sponsorship

Ye

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has joined the chorus of concern over the forthcoming appearance of famous anti-Semite Kanye West, while beverage giant Pepsi has withdrawn its sponsorship of the Wireless Festival, which the foul-mouth rapper is due to headline, following the booking.

The rapper who has glorified Adolf Hitler and the Nazis on multiple occasions, and blamed his behavior on mental illness caused by an old head injury. West, who now goes by “Ye”, is due to headline all three nights at the Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park, north London, in July, marking his first performances in the UK in over a decade.

In comments first reported by the Sun on Sunday, Starmer said: “It is deeply concerning that Kanye West has been booked to perform at Wireless despite his previous anti-Semitic remarks and celebration of Nazism.

“Antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted clearly and firmly wherever it appears. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe and secure.”

Last spring West released a song entitled Heil Hitler which contained an extract of a speech from the Nazi leader. It followed the sale on his website of T-shirts featuring a swastika.

In October 2022, in a post on X he said he was going to go “death con 3 on Jewish people [sic]” and later denied the Holocaust on a far-right talk show, proving he is a disgusting person.

His outbursts led to him being dropped by commercial partners including Adidas. Meanwhile, Pepsi, the main sponsor of Wireless Festival, has confirmed it has withdrawn its support for the event following the booking. Why they originally agreed to sponsor this garbage human being is a mystery.

A Pepsi spokesperson told ITV News on Sunday: “Pepsi has decided to withdraw its sponsorship of Wireless Festival.” I wonder how long they pondered that decision.

In January, West took out a full-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal to apologize for his behavior, including the anti-Semitic episodes, probably because it was hurting his bottom line.

The advert, which took the form of a letter to “those I have hurt”, attributed his actions to a bipolar disorder, resulting from an injury in a car accident that had only been diagnosed many years later. The way in which a car accident can cause bipolar disorder is rare and needs to include traumatic brain injury.

In early 2025, he fell into “a four-month long manic episode of psychotic, paranoid and impulsive behavior that destroyed my life,” he said.

In that “fractured state”, he explained, “I gravitated toward the most destructive symbol I could find, the swastika, and even sold T-shirts bearing it.

“I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change. It does not excuse what I did though. I am not a Nazi or an anti-Semite. I love Jewish people.”

Really?

The Board of Deputies and the Jewish Leadership Council have both called for the cancellation of his booking at the Wireless Festival.

BoD president Phil Rosenberg said that given the current high levels of anti-Semitism in the UK, inviting West to perform “seems to be absolutely the wrong decision and many Jewish people will worry that that will just inflame what is already a very febrile situation.”

The Campaign Against Antisemitism commented: “The Government can ban anyone from entering the UK who is not a citizen and whose presence would ‘not be conducive to the public good’. Surely this is a clear case.”

That must have been one heck of a car accident.
