Comrade Sanders Urges Sexually Assault Accused Democrat To Quit Maine Race So Party Can Find Fresher Face To Lose To Susan Collins

WASHINGTON—In a stunning display of progressive principles that somehow only apply when it's politically convenient, self-described democratic socialist Bernie Sanders urged Maine's scandal-plagued Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner to drop out of the race Tuesday, because nothing says "believe all women" like immediately throwing your own guy under the bus the second a damaging allegation drops.

"I have spoken with Graham Platner about the best path forward for Maine," Sanders, a prominent progressive backer of Platner and his biggest national ally, said in a statement."In light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside."

Sanders, the cranky Vermont independent who caucuses with Democrats and has spent decades railing against the establishment while being the establishment, joins a growing pile-on of Democrats who were all-in on Platner until a woman accused him of forcibly having sex with her nearly five years ago, an allegation Platner has denied.

Senate Democratic leaders and their allied super PAC suddenly decided Maine, that critical battleground state Kamala Harris somehow won in 2024, isn't worth the investment if their guy might be radioactive.

Kirsten Gillibrand, chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Chuck 'Nostrils' Schumer, the top Senate Democrat, issued a joint statement to the same effect, calling for Platner to withdraw from the race and allow the party to choose a new nominee.

Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib also withdrew her endorsement for Platner on Tuesday, calling on him to 'exit the race immediately.' "These allegations are devastating and must be taken seriously," she wrote on Twitter/X.

Republicans currently enjoy a comfy 53-47 majority in the Senate, meaning Democrats would need to net four seats just to tie things up and keep pretending they run the place. Losing Maine would make that mathematical miracle basically impossible, forcing them to defend seats in places like Georgia and Michigan, states President Donald Trump actually won in 2024 while somehow flipping deep-red territory like North Carolina, Ohio, Alaska, Iowa, and Texas. 

Good luck with that, comrades.

Platner has remained silent after saying in a social media video on Monday that he was taking time "to reflect on the best path forward," and think about all the girls he loved before.

He can be replaced on the ballot if he drops out by July 13. The Maine Democratic Party would have until July 27 to select a new nominee, presumably one without quite so much baggage this week.

Potential candidates, including Democrats who lost last month's primary for governor, were already positioning themselves for a likely Senate run on Tuesday like vultures circling a progressive dream that just crashed into reality.Former state Senate President Troy Jackson filed federal paperwork on Tuesday to form an exploratory committee that allows him to start fundraising, the Bangor Daily News reported.

Nirav Shah, the former director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said the party should hold an open and transparent process to select a new nominee. "Anyone running for this nomination should agree to at least one televised debate and hold multiple public town halls across every corner of the state," he said in a statement on X that notably emphasized he is "not an establishment politician" or "an insider.

"Republican Incumbent Well-Funded, Surprisingly Not Under Investigation The lucky Democratic nominee, whoever that ends up being, will face Republican Senator Susan Collins, who chairs a panel that oversees the nation’s federal discretionary spending and somehow hasn't been canceled yet despite being a moderate from Maine.

Collins, 73, has a nearly $10 million war chest and is backed by multiple super PACs. The Senate Leadership Fund has pledged to invest $42 million in Maine, and Pine Tree Results PAC has spent almost $7 million boosting her campaign. The Pine Tree Results PAC has canceled its ad reservations for next week, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact, which suggests Republicans expect Platner to drop out this week because why waste money on a guy who's already politically dead?

In a statement on Monday, Collins called the allegations against Platner "appalling.""Nevertheless," she said, "it is not up to me to choose the Democratic nominee for Senate." Classic Collins: polite, factual, and ready to watch the Democrats eat each other alive.

Cincinnati's former white female police chief once was sued by subordinates for alleged discrimination against white male cops

Cincinnati just fired its police chief after a disastrous run marked by skyrocketing crime and tone-deaf leadership.

A termination announcement revealed that Teresa Theetge was "begged" to put more officers on the streets during a crime-riddled summer last year. She was removed from her role as the city's top law enforcement officer on Thursday after only about three years on the job. She previously served as a police officer in Cincinnati for 35 years.

City Manager Sheryl Long made Theetge's termination announcement.

"I recognize Chief Theetge’s more than 35 years of service to the Cincinnati Police Department and to this City. At the same time, after completing this review, it’s become clear that a change in leadership is necessary for the department moving forward," Long said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

In a scathing termination letter, Long blasted Theetge for what she viewed as ineffective leadership and poor communication, including failing to adhere to a summer anti-violence plan."As just one example, you admitted you did not agree with the City’s Summer Safety Plan, which included more police coverage in the urban core, and you admitted that I begged you to fill the police work details called for in the summer plan."

This is the kind of accountability cities desperately need but rarely deliver when progressive experiments in policing go off the rails.

Cincinnati found itself under national scrutiny last August after a viral beatdown in the city's downtown left a woman with neurological damage. In the early-morning hours of July 26, a confrontation outside the LoVe nightclub in the downtown business district led to a horrific beatdown captured on video. The footage spread like wildfire on social media, showing at least two White victims pummeled into the ground by a group of Black suspects. Even after the victims were down, the attackers kept stomping away, leaving one with a possibly life-altering brain injury.

Over the next month, seven people were arrested and charged in connection with the beating. Long also ripped Theetge for two shootings in the Fountain Square area downtown last October, saying she "failed to provide leadership in response to two shootings" in the area that month.

"You further admitted that on October 14 (the day after the second shooting) you chose to go to a play rather than attend a public safety town hall meeting . . . " Long wrote in the termination letter, later adding that Theetge "should not need to be told to attend a public safety meeting . . .  the night after a shooting on Fountain Square."

Priorities like that speak volumes.

Adding to the mess, in May of last year four White male officers filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Theetge, the city's first female police chief and a woman as white as milk. They accused her of passing them over for promotions and preferred assignments because of their race and sex.

"Defendants’ intentional and discriminatory practices in assigning Lieutenants to preferred assignments has disproportionately favored non-White males and/or females, without legitimate, non-discriminatory justification, thereby denying Plaintiffs equal employment opportunities," the suit says in part.

"The City and Chief Theetge have actively and systemically undertaken efforts to promote, advance, and make promotion and assignment decisions that are preferable to women and minorities, and to the exclusion of white men, including through hiring, diversity initiatives, outreach programs, promotional processes, and other steps that demonstrate both a systemic practice of discrimination against white males, and that there are background circumstances to support the suspicion that the defendant is that unusual employer who discriminates against the majority," the lawsuit also says.

Another blue city learns the hard way that DEI policing and weak leadership produce exactly the chaos you would expect.

Republican governor's veto overridden by Republicans: Trans procedures and boys v. girls in sports banned

Mike DeWine (RINO)

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine was hoping for a strange, new respect from liberals who favor boys competing against girls in sports, and for children to have their genitals mutilated in order to pretend to be the opposite gender. 

DeWine vetoed a bill put forth by Ohio Republicans that would ban transgender procedures and hormone treatment from being done to children, and also barred boys and men from competing against females in athletic competitions.

But Republicans in the Ohio state Senate voted to override DeWine's veto, following House Republicans’ January 10 vote to do the same, with that vote ending up 65-28.

It looks like DeWine's political career may be in jeopardy, but he has a shot at working for MNSBC or CNN. 

The bill in question, House Bill 68 is made up of two acts: the “Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act” and the “Save Women’s Sports Act.” It bans transgender procedures on minors, such as  total breast removal on girls who think that they're boys, and other genital mutilation procedures for children with the mental illness known as gender dysphoria. It also prohibits males from competing in female sports across the state, grades K-12, and the collegiate level because males have a biological advantage over females.

When DeWine had first vetoed the bill, he argued that passing the it would hinder parental rights to allow their easily influenced child and/or parent, to perform irreversible procedures on their child based on the latest leftist fad.

“Ohio would be saying that the state, that the government, knows better what is medically best for a child than the two people who love that child the most, the parents,” DeWine argued.

In fact, DeWine would be wrong. That's akin to saying the a mother who suffers from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy knows what's best for her child by giving him or her unnecessary invasive medical treatment. Being a parent usually means you love your child, but it does not necessarily translate into knowing what is best for him or her.

He also made the claim that he was acting to preserve “life,” because he bought into the notion that kids who don't transition will commit suicide. Statistical data shows that the suicide rate is just as high for those who transition as it is for those with gender dysphoria who don't get their bodies mutilated.

“Ultimately, I believe this is about protecting human life,” DeWine naively said. “Many parents have told me that their child would not have survived, would be dead today, if they had not received the treatment they received from one of Ohio’s children’s hospitals. I’ve also been told by those who are now grown adults that but for this care, they would have taken their life when they were teenagers.”

Many parents who say such things are wrong. And in fact, young kids overwhelmingly grow out of their gender dysphoria later on and lead normal lives as adults when their genitals are left intact.

Though Republicans are generally in agreement that these types of irreversible procedures are harmful for children and therefore should be banned, Republicans like former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have argued in the way of DeWine because like the Ohio governor, Christie is also a RINO in more ways than one.

While making his short-lived 2024 presidential bid, Christie argued that procedures like double mastectomies and penis-removing vaginoplasty surgeries are a “parent’s decision.” By that logic, so is abortion even after nine months.

Anyway, the law will take effect in about three months and one day these kids will look back on their childhood and be grateful they didn't have the procedures.

Gov. DeWine finds political winds are blowing the other way so he walks back his support of trans surgeries

Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine (RINO) made the GOP have a cow last week after he vetoed a bill that was designed to protect children from having their genitals mutilated and other "gender affirming care" such as using chemical castration drugs or removing their breasts.

Republicans from across the country criticized him for his woke stance, and while we don't know if he walked back his veto due to pressure, we do know he has no sense of morality or ethics. In any case, DeWine ended up walking it all back and he signed an “emergency” executive order Friday banning transgender surgeries on minors. 

Unfortunately for the naive minors in Ohio that was just about the only thing that was banned. The original bill put forth by the Republican majorities in the legislature went well beyond genital mutilation and drugging kids, so the Ohio trans movement remains alive. 

[H/T National Review]

So not only did the Republican bill dubbed the SAFE Act end gender mutilation of children, it also prohibited physicians from prescribing cross-sex hormones or puberty-blocking medicine [you know, the castration elixir aforementioned] for children. 

Even more, the bill banned men from competing against women in sports, a situation that in many cases have resulted in life-changing incidents and in others where mediocre athletic men grabbed world records and trophies against top women in the sport.

At least the new order would bar physicians from performing gender-transition surgeries, such as mastectomies and hysterectomies, on kids in Ohio’s hospitals and health-care facilities, and boys can take their balls and go home.

For now, do not believe a word this RINO governor says when explaining what he stands for. He stands for Mike DeWine and he needs to be primaried in the next Ohio gubernatorial election.

Muslim man faces hate crime after claim he was hit by person yelling: "kill all Palestinians"

Hamas' "Jussie Smollett"

A Muslim man in Ohio faces criminal charges after he allegedly lied about a hate crime regarding being hit by a car by a person yelling, "kill all Palestinians."

The North Ridgeville Police Department said that 20-year-old Hesham A. Ayyad came to a local hospital on October 22, and told police that he was struck by a car in a "racially motivated" incident. The following day, the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a jihadi-supporting organization, predictably called for an investigation into Ayaad's claims.

"We call on state, local and federal law enforcement authorities to monitor and investigate crimes related to the rising Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism," Faten Odeh, CAIR-Ohio, Cleveland Interim Executive Director said in a statement. 

The term 'Islamophobia' is used by Islamic organizations to shut down any negative discussions that reveal Muslims in a bad light. CAIR is the poster organization with such expertise. Put down Hamas and you're an Islamophobe, as they will label you.

So CAIR went on: "We hope the North Ridgeville Police Department and the FBI will collect all the information they need to charge this individual with a hate crime. We should all feel safe to walk down the street to grab a bite to eat, go to the store and go to school."

It turns out the North Ridgeville PD did collect all the information and found out that Ayyad lied. CAIR said that Ayyad was walking home from lunch and was hit by an individual in a dark SUV as he peacefully walked along the road.

As per Ayyad, the driver aggressively swerved and rolled down his window and yelled, "Kill all Palestinians" and "Long live Israel." The driver then made a U-turn and struck him while shouting "Die!"

But soon police investigated Ayyad's and found that his allegations were fabricated, as reported by WKYC.

Police confirmed to the local station that Ayyad was never struck by a vehicle nor subjected to racial slurs.

After reviewing video evidence, police found that he was injured during an earlier fight with his brother, 19-year-old Khalil A. Ayyad, because the two idiots love to fight and hate Jews, so their idea was like a jihad of sorts.

WKYC reported that both brothers were arrested and charged with domestic violence and assault.

In addition, Hersham Ayyad is accused of making false alarms, falsification, and obstructing official business.

The two brothers were released from custody Wednesday after each posted bond.

CAIR is at a loss of words and did not comment.

Oberlin College pays out $36M to Gibson's Bakery in defamation suit

Well it finally happened. Oberlin College, in Ohio, handed over the $36,000,000 they owed to a local campus bakery after they accused the family-operated business of being racist. [H/T New York Post.]

The bakery won a defamation lawsuit against the school that called them racist after three black students were caught stealing from the business in November 2016.

“We can confirm that all funds have been disbursed and that the family is continuing with the process of rebuilding Gibson’s Bakery for the next generations,” Brandon McHugh, the Gibson family’s attorney, told 3News last Thursday.

“It’s definitely about right and wrong. And to be quite frank, the three students that shoplifted, they admitted their crimes,” added McHugh. “It was Oberlin College that could never admit that what they did was wrong.”

Is it possible that, as a country, the term 'racist' is thrown around a bit too much? Sounds like that's the case.

The bakery was first started when Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden were both in diapers 137 years ago. The store plans to rebuild with the money they were awarded as they had lost much of it after the false accusations and the Fauci-China pandemic hit at the same time.

“I would replace the compressors for the refrigerators and replace the fryers and proofers that we use for our dough. I would pay off the mortgages on my properties that I’ve taken out in the past few years. I’d hire back employees and ramp up production,” Lorna Gibson wrote in a September piece for The Post.

The defamation suit was filed by Gibson's Bakery in 2017 after the shoplifting incident in which one of the perps tried to use a fake ID to purchase a bottle of wine, while swiping two more bottles, according to court documents.

Lorna's son, Allyn, chased the three stooges, Jonathan Aladin, Endia Lawrence and Cecelia Whettstone. A kerfuffle ensued outside the store and when police arrived, the stooges claimed Allyn racially profiled them.

Clueless protestors virtue-signaled and picketed the business after the three stooges claimed they were racially profiled.

An Oberlin College staffer created and distributed flyers claiming, without any proof whatsoever that the family had a “LONG ACCOUNT of RACIAL PROFILING and DISCRIMINATION.” The flyers urged shoppers to boycott Gibson's and business went down the tubes because of the allegations, Gibson said, in spite of the fact that the three stooges admitted in 2017 that they had not been racially profiled and pled guilty to attempted theft.

The Gibsons decided to sue the college because the family’s patriarch, 89-year-old Allyn Sr. “who had dedicated his life to the business, did not want to die being falsely branded a racist,” Lorna Gibson said. 

He died in early 2022.

Oberlin College was initially fined $11 million in 2019 after they were found to have defamed the bakery when the staffer made the flyers. Oberlin tried to appeal the ruling but in September, the Ohio Supreme Court denied the school's bid to hear its appeal and ordered them to pay the Gibson's over $36 million.

“It’s definitely about right and wrong. And to be quite frank, the three students that shoplifted, they admitted their crimes,” McHugh said Thursday. “It was Oberlin College that could never admit that what they did was wrong.”

Oberlin College is the poster child of the Left and wouldn't know a racist, even if they looked in the mirror.

OH judge removed for "unprecedented misconduct" such as bribes, courtroom jokes and strip clubs

The Ohio Supreme Court suspended indefinitely and removed from office a judge in Cleveland for her alleged unprecedented misconduct" spanning a 2-year period which included "blatant and systematic disregard of due process, the law, court orders, and local rules." 

Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Pinkey Carr, [her parents wanted to name her 'Pinko' but they compromised] was elected to the bench in 2011. In addition to the initial remarks, the statement from the Ohio court system says that she "also was repeatedly dishonest, treated court staff and litigants disrespectfully, abused her power to issue arrest warrants and find individuals in contempt of court." 

Former Judge Carr was charged with five counts of judicial misconduct in March 2021 and violated rules governing the appropriate dress, order, and decorum for courtrooms.

"Her bench was littered with dolls, cups, novelty items, and junk," according to the Ohio Supreme Court. "She presided over her courtroom wearing tank tops, T-shirts – some with images or slogans, spandex shorts, and sneakers. She discussed with her staff and defendants a television show called "P-Valley" about a fictional Mississippi strip club."

"She also joked about accepting kickbacks in lieu of fines and having defendants give her and court staff items such as food, beverages, carpeting, or storage space in exchange for lenient sentences," the court added. "The Supreme Court’s opinion concluded that these actions undermined public confidence in the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary."

Gee, ya think?

Of the alleged misconduct, Carr was also accused of ignoring a court order to reschedule cases during to onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and continued to preside over her regular docket the following week.

For defendants who failed to appear, she ordered them to be arrested and set bonds ranging from $2,500 to $10,000. For defendants who were "brave enough," according to this crazy woman, to appear in court despite the potential for exposure to the virus, she waived fines and court costs.

Among her ethics violations, the judge acknowledged that she often held hearings without a prosecutor present to avoid complying with the safeguards in state law – such as the requirements that a judge informs the accused of the nature of the charge, the identity of the complainant, the right to counsel, and the effect of different pleas.

The judge also falsified court journal entries by claiming that the prosecutor had amended charges or that she had held hearings to determine a defendant’s ability to pay fines or court costs.

She also used warrants and incarceration to force the payment of fines, creating a "modern-day debtors’ prison," resulting in at least five people spending time in jail.

Judge Jennifer R. Dorow

In stark contrast to Carr is Judge Jennifer R. Dorow, currently presiding over the Waukesha Christmas Parade incident in which Darrell E. Brooks allegedly ran his mother's 2010 Ford Explorer into parade goers, killing 6 and injuring over 60 others.

Judge Dorow is patient, professional, calm in the face of incredible misbehavior by the defendant, and knowledgeable of the law. Inasmuch as Brooks is seemingly trying to delay proceedings and claiming to be a sovereign individual, Judge Dorow is dealing with him appropriately and efficiently. 

Carr doesn't seem to be in the same category.

Brent Larkin attacks Rep. Jordan for supporting Trump

When you're a "journalist" but the only Republicans you follow on Twitter are President Trump [to look for spelling errors], Meghan McCain [who hates Trump] and Mitt Romney [who is a GOP loser], chances are you're doing journalism wrong.

Enter Brent Larkin.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was verbally attacked by Larkin, an Ohio columnist, who was apparently miffed by Jordan's support of the President in the impeachment circus run by ringmaster Adam Schiff (D-CA).

In an op-ed published this week, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland featured Larkin's crapload of insults against the Ohio Republican, who has made an immediate impact on the Trump impeachment hearings since recently joining the House Intelligence Committee.

The scathing essay, written by Brent Larkin, a retired editorial director and former staff tea bubble reader for the paper, refers to Jordan as a “seven-term sycophant” who is defending President Trump as part of a greater scheme to seek the presidency himself in 2024.

Larkin claims Jordan owes his House seat to bipartisan gerrymandering and has since become “the second most contemptible human being in the entire U.S. government,” next only to Trump, according to the tea bubbles. [Note the gerrymandering was bipartisan.]

“When Jordan slithers out from under his rock each morning, dons a shirt and tie -- sans the jacket, lest he be mistaken for Joe McCarthy -- his life’s work is to besmirch everything America stands for in service of Donald Trump,” Larkin writes with simultaneous envy and hatred. “And now it’s fitting that Republicans have given this seven-term sycophant a starring role in the televised House Intelligence Committee impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump.”

Larkin's venom is only exceeded by his hatred for all things GOP and love for late-term abortion.

Despite the media bashing, fellow Republicans and conservatives appreciate Jordan's efforts and tough stance against the impeachment proceedings and obvious bias by Schiff and the Democrat sycophants.

“Now he’s in a leadership position," Rep. Patrick T. McHenry (R-NC), told the Washington Post, "and the heavy yoke of leadership has moored him into the team in a very constructive way.”

Upon hearing those words of support for Jordan, Larkin's supratrochlear vein began to throb as it was engorged with blood and looked as if it was about to burst. A face flushed, teeth were gnashed and tears flowed like urine of the homeless in the streets of Democratic districts.

“There has been no greater supporter of President Trump’s ‘America First’ agenda or greater defender from these left-wing attacks than Jim Jordan,” said David Bossie, president of Citizens United. “And the president recognizes fighters when he sees one.”

Larkin began to sweat profusely from his nether regions as the words fell upon his progressive ears in disbelief. "How can anyone support this president after he lost to the hottest babe on the planet?" he bawled.

Jim Jordan, 55, is a native of Troy, Ohio and has served in Congress since 2007 after serving as a state lawmaker. He is the Democrat's worst nightmare and Larkin's worst nemesis.

"The American people see [the impeachment inquiry] for what it is," Jordan told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday. "The Democrats have never accepted the fact that 63 million Americans voted for this guy and they want him to come here and shake it up. And he won an Electoral College landslide and they [Democrats] don't care because they don't trust the American people."'

Larkin, in the Plain Dealer article titled  “Jim Jordan was imposed on us for egregiously partisan reasons. Now he’s afflicting the nation,” accuses Jordan of wilfully turning a blind eye to sexual abuse committed by a team doctor when he worked as an assistant wrestling coach at the Ohio State University from 1987 to 1994.

Jordan and head coach Russ Hellickson were both cleared of any wrongdoing but Larkin doesn't care about the court's determination or due process when it doesn't suit his political agenda. The abuse was carried out by Dr. Richard Strauss, the wrestling program's doctor, and he committed suicide over ten years ago.

Larkin is a little man . . . a little man with anger issues that apparently eat at him and cause him to see things through soggy, tasteless tea bubbles.

4 Ohio inmates refuse to wait for Biden to release them

OHIO -- Four Ohio inmates escaped from jail by overpowering two female guards using a makeshift weapon. It is believed they had help from the outside and didn't have the patience to wait and see if former Vice President Joe Biden would win the nomination and eventually the presidency so they could be released since they did not commit murder.

The guys escaped from the Gallia County Jail, according to authorities. Sheriff Matt Champlin said they used a homemade weapon and had help from "at least one individual on the outside."

The escapees was successful in opening a secure door and escaping.

They were identified as Brynn Martin, 40; Christopher Clemente, 24; Troy McDaniel Jr., 30; and Lawrence Lee III, 29. All four escapees are to be considered extremely dangerous.

According to records, Martin was being held on charges of failure to appear and escape; Clemente for aiding and abetting another person in the commission of a crime; Lee was being held on a charge of identity fraud; but it's unclear what charge McDaniel was being held on.

If these men had only waited until the Democratic nominee was determined, it's quite possible any one of them would have allowed them to go free if they were to win the 2020 presidential election [G_d forbid]. This is especially true should Biden win.

Gutless RINO Kasich vetoes fetal heartbeat abortion bill

Possibly the most punchable face in politics, a moral coward, weasel scumwafer, Ohio Gov. John Kasich did as I predicted. Had his mother decided what he agrees to, Kasich would not have been born and perhaps an actual conservative with a set of real morals would have gone ahead with allowing the bill to become law.

Kasich's cowardly amoral veto came on Friday. It would have banned abortions on unborn babies with detectable heartbeats.

According to LifeNews, Gov. Kasich vetoed the bill arguing that it would not survive in a court challenge, without even testing whether or not it was the case. He did the same in 2016 for similar fake reasons, but that was before Justice Kavanaugh sat on the Supreme Court.

Kasich, putting money ahead of the lives of the unborn, also argued that the legal challenges would cost taxpayers too much money, which is bull crap.

"As governor I have worked hard to strengthen Ohio’s protections for the sanctity of human life, and I have a deep respect for my fellow members of the pro-life community and their ongoing efforts in defense of unborn life," he said in a statement. "However, the central provision of Sub. H.B. 258, that an abortion cannot be performed if a heartbeat has been detected in the unborn child, is contrary to the Supreme Court of the United States’ current rulings on abortion."

Current rulings can become more current, especially with our current SCOTUS. He knows that but he isn't a real conservative.

"As the losing party, the state of Ohio will be forced to pay hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to cover the legal fees for the pro-choice activists’ lawyers," Kasich said, knowing what a loser he is.

State House Bill 258 passed in a 58-35 vote and sailed through the State Senate. Most abortions in Ohio would be effectively banned had Kasich signed it into law, but he is a gutless coward.

"The controversial legislation would ban most abortions in Ohio if it becomes law," reported LifeNews. in November. "An unborn baby’s heart begins beating around six weeks, though the latest research suggests that it may begin as early as 16 days after conception." 

Abortion providers could also be charged with a felony for breaking the law by killing a baby with a detected heartbeat. The reason for that is due to the fact that it is murder to kill a human being and what is a fetus, if not a human being?

Proponents of the new law said the potential legal challenges should not matter.

"The point is: it’s time. It doesn’t matter if the governor is with us or against us," said state Rep. Christina Hagan, a sponsor of the bill. "Motherhood isn’t easy but it’s necessary."

Other pro-life lawmakers (mostly female) have pushed similar arguments.

"(Abortion) is not a constitutional right," said Rep. Candice Keller (R-Middletown). "If you don’t know that, you need to read the Constitution."

"Today, let us stand up for the most innocent among us: the unborn," Rep. Kristina Roegner said.

Kasich doesn't agree--it costs too much. And this clown calls himself a conservative.

Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand-out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads on this page. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow me or not. I hope you do.

Ohio ready to protect sanctity of life: now a RINO must act

In a wonderful move to protect the sanctity of human life, the Ohio State Senate passed the "Heartbeat Bill" Wednesday.

This bill would ban abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can be as early as five weeks. The bill went back and forth after the Senate amended it, but now it's ready for Gov. John "Most Punchable Face In Washington" Kasich to sign it. 

Due to the fact that Kasich is only a pretend conservative, he will likely veto it. But now that he has hinted at wanting a run at the presidency in 2020, he just might try to win the hearts and minds of conservatives and sign it. Just don't make the mistake of believing that he has anything more than his own ambitions in mind no matter what he decides to do.

Ohio pro-life advocacy groups are hopeful (if Kasich refuses to allow babies in the womb the right to life) the legislature will have time and be willing to convene for a veto override because of the magnitude of this bill’s importance.

If the veto happens and rules to pass the bill, Kasich will look like a loser to both parties, but the GOP in particular.

Ohio's action is one of the staunchest pro-life legal measures in the country as it would require an abdominal ultrasound to detect a heartbeat, and if detected, killing the baby would be illegal.

Aliens might be looking down on our planet wondering why did we ever killed our babies in the first place. 

6 weeks

Pro-life advocacy and conservative policy groups, including the James Dobson Family Institute and Live Action, are encouraged by the passage of this solid measure to protect life and support the legislation. This comes as a welcome opportunity for Ohio to lead other states in reclaiming their constitutional authority to determine law on sanctity of life issues.

But perhaps most compellingly argument for this bill comes from Josh Craddock who writes, governments are obligated to preserve and protect the right to life at all stages of development as a substantive moral and legitimate legal authority issue:

“The structure of the argument is simple. The Fourteenth Amendment’s use of the word ‘person’ guarantees due process and equal protection to all members of the human species. The preborn are members of the human species from the moment of fertilization. Therefore, the Fourteenth Amendment protects the preborn. If one concedes the minor premise (that preborn humans are biological members of the human species), all that must be demonstrated is that the term ‘person,’ in its original public meaning at the time of the Fourteenth Amendment’s adoption, applied to all members of the human species.”

The Constitution recognizes the government’s obligation to protect the rights of the individual, and the Founders understood the innate personhood of the unborn and all the rights and privileges that come with being human. 

The Founders undoubtedly intended to protect all the rights of the yet unborn and the future generations of Americans, with the right to life being the foundational and most basic and essential right.

Kasich is likely to wait until the last minute to veto the bill so that there isn't time enough to override it. He's just lucky his parents didn't do what he is willing to allow other parents to do. 

But maybe I'm wrong--I hope so.

Kareem Hunt released by KC Chiefs after video shows him pushing and kicking a woman

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt not only sits for the National Anthem, he shoves and kicks women as a newly released surveillance video shows. It happened in an Ohio hotel this past February.

The video was obtained by TMZ and shows Hunt arguing with a 19-year-old woman at the Metropolitan Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio. The incident took place February 10th at around 03:20.

You can see him approach the teenage woman and say something then he shoved her. An unidentified man steps in and the woman hits Hunt in the face. Then some of Hunt's friends get involved as he appears to go ballistic and he shoves the woman who falls and grabs her head.

Hunt then comes over to her as she is crouched down on the floor and he kicks her because he is so brave.

Cops were called but no arrests were made that morning because the cops didn't know if a crime had been committed. After all, maybe she had it coming to her, they may have thought.

The teenage woman is reportedly a Kent State student and told law enforcement that the argument started when she refused to hook up [aka:have sexual relations] with one of Hunt's friends.

A female friend of Hunt claimed the woman was acting belligerently and struck her.

A report from ESPN said that following the release of the video, Hunt was excused from practice at the facility pending further action.

Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said in August that he believed the running back “learned some lessons” prior to this season's start. Specifically, check for cameras before kicking teenage women who you've pushed to the floor.

"Kareem is a young man, second year in the league, obviously had a very big year on the field last year," he said in speaking of the February incident. "I'm sure he learned some lessons this off-season and hopefully won't be in those kind of situations in the future."

Hunt has since been released from the team in spite of the Chiefs owner trying to cover for him by using his youth and how much he has learned from his behavior.

John 'Methane Man' Kasich is 'very seriously' considering running for president in 2020

Accepting the award: "The GOP's Most
Punchable Face"

He calls himself a Republican and a conservative yet he refused to allow a bill to pass that would prohibit killing a baby when a heartbeat is present. When he speaks, he is the number one person who is most annoying to listen to in the entire political world.

He is John Kasich and he is "very seriously" considering a White House run in 2020. But he is very seriously not going to get the GOP nomination--Trump will--and all Kasich will serve to do is screw up the results of the party to which he claims to be a member.

On Sunday, Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) was on ABC's "This Week" with Bill Clinton's pool boy,\ and advisor, George Stephanopoulos where he said that he was "very seriously" considering feeding his ego needs.

Kasich told George "This is our earnest conversation that go on every day with some of my friends [his two dogs], with my family. We need different leadership [because it isn't him]. There isn't any question about it. [Sure there is. He's just refusing to ask it.] I'm not only just worried about the tone and the name-calling and the division in our country and the partisanship [which all began under George Washington and continued on], but I also worry about the policies, rising debt, inability to deal with immigration, the problems we have as America alone in the world, what I consider a rotten deal with the Saudis to look the other way. I'm worried about our country, not just in the short term. The question for me is what do I do about this?"

Answer: sell bonds. Just don't run you moron.

Then he had a moment of a psychotic break where he asked himself a question. "Do I run because I've determined that I can win? Or is it important for me to make such a good showing that I can send a message that can disrupt the political system in this country? So yeah, I have to think about it. I think about it seriously."

Because he is an egotistical schmuck who would rather destroy the GOP's chance of winning in 2020 and be in the public eye, than to stay in the background. He will never win. He should not run. He should go and have an illicit affair with Hillary Clinton--they seem to be two peas in a pod.

Ohio student suspended for exercising his First Amendment rights

Hilliard, Ohio -- a high school student was suspended for refusing to leave the classroom and partake in the political gun control national walkout on Wednesday. He stayed in class and he was punished for it.

Hilliard Davidson High School senior Jacob Shoemaker was slapped with a suspension for exercising his right not to protest.

Shoemaker argued that divisive politics has no place in American schools and refused to take sides in the debate.

After his suspension citation was posted online, probably by a friend, it went viral.

The citation read: "Student refused to follow instructions after being warned repeatedly by several administrators. Student not permitted on school property."

School district spokeswoman Stacie Raterman claims official policy prohibits school officials from leaving Shoemaker unattended in the building for "security reasons." Perhaps they believe that teenagers left to their own devices, might hurt themselves or break stuff.

Shoemaker is ready to accept the consequences of his decision. But perhaps the school should have consequences of their own.

Dumb Dem boasts on Facebook of mega-sex life

You either have to be a moron, a narcissist or a liberal to brag online about your sex life when you're in the midst of a governor's race. But I repeat myself.

Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill O'Neill is now facing calls from his opponents to resign from the state Supreme Court after unsolicited bragging, in a viral Facebook post this week, that he's had sex with no less than 50 women in his life.

"Sexual harassment, degrading and devaluing women is not a joke," Democratic candidate, Nan Whaley tweeted. "Justice O'Neill should resign."

I am by no means a Democrat, but there doesn't appear to be anything in O'Neill's post that harasses, degrades or devalues women. His post simply degrades himself and highlights his narcissism and blasé attitude about relationships.

"As an attorney I'm appalled at these remarks of @billforohio, a Justice, as a democrat I'm horrified he would belittle victims of sexual harassment/assault this way and as a woman I'm outraged he would equate sexual assault with indiscretion. He should resign immediately," former U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton, who is also running for governor, said Friday.

Again, just because a woman says she's appalled, doesn't necessarily mean that he said anything appalling--especially by someone running against him in an election. What he said was simply stupid.

The worst thing I believe about his Facebook post was that he revealed the identity of two of the women he bedded: Sen. Bob Taft's personal secretary and Peter Lewis' senior advisor. 

O'Neill has no class and is probably a pig, but based on his post, he isn't a harasser or an assaulter of women.

What O'Neill posted was ostensibly a response to Al Franken's scandal, but it sounds more like he's bragging and he sounds like a highschool kid. He says in the post "I believe it is time to speak up on behalf of all heterosexual males."

He isn't speaking out for all heterosexual males--he's speaking out on all heterosexual secular male liberals, and I'm sure a number of conservatives, Roy Moore and Donald Trump included, I suspect.

But this sexual misconduct capade is bringing out the hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle.

The one thing I know for certain is that O'Neill is an idiot and probably needs to drive a Hummer.

Ohio bill would stop conservative speech stopping

Universities and colleges are nearly universal in their leftist political views, indoctrinating young minds in progressive (aka regressive) thinking. If you want to pull an "A" from your professor, you better write like Marx and think like a Bolshevik. If you don't, you will be demoralized, scholastically disenfranchised, demonized, vilified, and be told or made to shut up.

In schools of "high learning" across the country, higher learning isn't the priority, it's recruiting for Antifa. We have seen it at Berkeley, the University at Buffalo, and many other schools that ought not to receive public funding.

Finally, there's a bill crafted by two Ohio Republican lawmakers that would stop universities from disinviting controversial speakers based on any potential negative reactions or protests the guests might trigger.

It's part of a Campus Free Speech Act that also aims to get rid of so-called free speech zones and allow for First Amendment activities across entire campuses.

The left typically hates free speech and will hate this bill because it eliminates safe zones where many a snowflake dwells, and it allows for the First Amendment to be utilized for its intended purpose: to protect all speech, including that which they don't like. 

It also promotes and protects intellectual diversity, which the left also hates. They only want one tune to be sung on campuses. 

Republican Reps. Wesley Goodman and Andrew Brenner announced the act on Tuesday at the Ohio statehouse.

This is not free speech

The act, which is expected to be introduced in the coming weeks, aims to prohibit administrators from taking action "that limits or chills the expression of any member of the campus community or their invited guests based on the content of the expression," Goodman said in a news release.

It prevents "heckler's vetoes" by "prohibiting universities from disinviting speakers based on the potential reaction, opposition, offense, or irritation taken to the speaker's expression."

Under this act, students will be able to bring a cause of action against the institution they believe infringes on their free speech rights.

So people like Ann Coulter, Ben Shapiro, and even Milo Yiannopoulos will be afforded their First Amendment rights, along with the students who want to hear what they have to say.

Charlottesville suspect's mom told him to drive safely

The mommy of the "man" who police say killed a 32-year-old woman when he intentionally plowed his car into pedestrians of the non-white supremacist persuasion told her son to not kill anyone and protest 'peacefully' at the Charlottesville, Va. rally.

'Peacefully' is a white supremacist code word for 'so's you don't get caught.'

She urged her little munchkin that if he was going to another white supremacist rally to "be careful." 

James Alex Fields Jr., 20, of Maumee, Ohio, texted his paraplegic mother, Samantha Bloom on Friday to say he dropped his pussycat off at her house so he could go to the "alt-right" rally in Virginia. 

Ms. Bloom said she didn't realize that it was a white supremacist rally. "I thought it had something to do with Trump. Trump's not a white supremacist," she said, and became visibly upset as she learned what her son had done.

"He had an African-American friend . . . ," as her voice trailed off.

The Blade reported Sunday that the FBI had interviewed her about her son.

Bloom had returned from a Saturday dinner unaware of her son's arrest.

"I don't talk to him about political views. So I don't understand what the rally was about," she said. He reportedly told her about the rally the previous week.

The New York Daily News reported photographing Fields on the front lines of the rally around 10:30 a.m. He was flanked with other racist white men in snazzy polo shirts and tan slacks holding the racially charged black-and-white insignia of the Vanguard America hate group.

Vanguard America wisely denied any association with Fields, but, hey, you never know. They claimed they handed out shields "to anyone in attendance who wanted them" just as long as they weren't black, Hispanic, Jews or Asian. (Feel free to add more groups if you wish.)

In an illiterate Twitter post on Sunday Vanguard America wrote:

"All our members are safe an (sic) accounted for, with no arrests or charges."

Which shows the police weren't arresting people because they could have had a field day.

Fields entered the Army on August 18, 2015 and less than four months later, on December 11th, his active duty mysteriously concluded. Perhaps the Army still doesn't accept racist schmucks in their ranks.

The New York Daily News quoted Caitlin Robinson, who attended Ockerman Middle School in Florence, Ky., with Fields saying that he was interested in "far-right" ideologies years before.

"On many occasions there were times he would scream obscenities whether it be about Hitler or racial slurs," Robinson told the paper in an email.

But of course, Hitler was by no means a "far right" scum. He was a socialist and called his party the National Socialist German Workers Party, but you won't hear that on MSNBC or CNN.

Robinson's email also said that Fields "mostly kept to himself" and "didn't start fights or try to fight." She also said he was "exceptionally odd and an outcast to be sure."

Fields' father was killed by a drunken driver just months before his birth and was left money that his uncle kept in trust for him until he reached adulthood. In spite of the fact that he received the money, he obviously hasn't yet reached adulthood.

"When he turned 18, he demanded his money, and that was the last I had any contact with him," the uncle told the paper.

Fields is charged with second degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding, and leaving the scene. A bond hearing is scheduled for Monday.

Fat chance.

Former Miss USA contestant busted for drug smuggling

Kia Hampron, 28, a former Miss USA contestant from Louisville, Kentucky, was arrested May 26 in Allen County, Ohio after she was caught smuggling marijuana into the Allen Corrections Institution for Jeremy Kelly, an inmate.

Hampton was indicted by a grand jury this month on a third-degree felony charge--bringing drugs onto government facility grounds.

The charge can land the lovely lass up to three years in the 'slammer' if she's convicted.

Hampton was served a search warrant when she arrived at the prison on May 26, when she came to visit Kelly. They had listened to previously recorded phone calls from the Ohio State Highway Patrol and said they had enough evidence to obtain the warrant for a cavity search, and they had more volunteers to do the search than prison personnel. 

She was questioned by officers when she reached into a pant leg and pushed a white balloon onto the floor, according to the affidavit. 

This move is known as a "good try."

It was found that Hampton was carrying almost 3 grams of marijuana, said Assistant Allen County Prosecutor Kenneth Sturgill to the Courier-Journal. 

The young lovely was indicted July 13 by an Allen County grand jury and faces one count of "illegal conveyance of drugs of abuse onto the ground of a specific government facility" and her scheduled arraignment will be July 26.

Hampton was crowned Miss Kentucky USA in November 2010 at the age of 21 and was the first black woman chosen to represent the state in the Miss USA pageant.

Some cities caving to POTUS' funding threats

President Trump's call to pull federal funding from cities that shield illegal immigrants from federal authorities is finally making an impact on local government leaders of these "sanctuary" towns counties and cities around the country. The are caving in and agreeing to follow the law of the land.

In Dayton, Ohio, Police Chief Richard Biehl said that federal authorities will no longer be impeded by the city when going after illegal immigrants who are being held by his department for misdemeanors or felony property crimes. Dayton has dropped their illegal policy restricting cooperation with immigration officials and are reluctantly allowing the Trump administration to follow the Constitution.

But Dayton isn't the only city deciding they need the money more than the 'feel good' tingle they get from thinking they're being goody-goodies. Miami-Dade, Saratoga, NY, Finney County, Kansas, and Bedford, PA are following suit, according to The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

"We are reviewing policy changes at a multitude of other jurisdictions as well," explained Marguerite Telford, CIS's communication director. She said that CIS is "being inundated" by officials on its sanctuary map who want to be removed from their list.

The mayor of Miami-Dade County, Carlos Gimenez, has been in office since 2011 and in local politics since 2004.

He is a Cuban-American whose family moved to the U.S. in 1960 during the Castro Revolution. He was naturalized in 1975 and has served as a Republican but obviously has a "soft-spot" for immigrants, even though his coming to the U.S. was done legally.

Miami-Dade County had been considered a sanctuary community but it made headlines when Gimenez changed a policy that refused to hold arrested immigrants of immigration officials unless they committed to reimbursing the county for the cost of detention.

But the county stood to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding  so he ordered jails to comply with federal immigration detention requests. After all, didn't some of the federal money pay for the extra time the criminal immigrants spent in the slammer?

President Trump's executive order gives the DOJ and DHS the power to cut federal funding to communities deemed to be sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. Mr. Trump also authorized the DHS to publish a weekly list of sanctuary communities.

Ms. Telford said: "Are you really going to pick and choose what laws you're going to enforce? If you want a change [in immigration policy], go to the legislature."

What a novel idea for liberals.

In spite of some communities giving in to the president's executive order are rethinking sanctuary policies, others, especially large major cities, have vowed to defy the law.

And those who defy the law should be prosecuted.

New York City's certifiable "Idiot" Mayor Bill de Blasio said "We're going to defend all of our people regardless of where they come from, regardless of their immigration status" [as long as they vote Democratic]. 

De Blasio was also a staunch defender of the Sandinista National Liberation Front which should give you an idea of just how much of a socialist and idiot he really is. Beside that he is a strong opponent to New York's stop-and-frisk laws which drastically helped to reduce crime in the city.

Chicago's incompetent Mayor Rahm Emanuel also said that he will do whatever he can to protect illegal immigrants from the feds, even those scum who have convicted crimes or are suspects in crime. 

Emanuel is certainly doing nothing to protect the citizens of his city who are being killed at war-zone pace.

And it's all political ploys--they apparently care to provide sanctuary to the illegal immigrants but not for their legal citizens. Where's their sanctuary? Ask Kate Steinle's family.

While it's understandable that illegal immigrants would be fearful of reporting crimes for fear of being deported, that could be solved, perhaps by developing an anonymous reporting system.

But again, it seems that any government official who knowingly refuses to uphold the law under the Constitution should be prosecuted or at least terminated from their position for refusal to do their job.
