    Trump Warns That ‘World War III is Looming’ and That This is ‘the Most Dangerous Time in the History of the Country’

    Former President Donald Trump is warning that “World War III” is looming under the current regime.
    In  a post to Truth Social on Saturday, Trump also sounded the all-caps alarm that “HOPELESS JOE BIDEN IS LEADING US INTO OBLIVION!!!”

    Trump blamed the leadership under the current regime in the US for the “unprecedented danger” to the nation.
    “This is the most dangerous time in the history of our Country,” Trump wrote. “World War III is looming, like never before, in the very dark and murky background. ‘Leadership’ is solely responsible for this unprecedented danger to the USA, and likewise, the World. HOPELESS JOE BIDEN IS LEADING US INTO OBLIVION!!!”
    Trump is currently leading all the polls, both for the Republican primary and facing off against Joe Biden or Kamala Harris in the general election.
    “Forty-six percent of those surveyed said they would vote for Trump over Biden if the 2024 election were held today, compared to 41 percent who said they would support the president,” the poll found. “Thirteen percent were unsure or didn’t know.”
    Trump has an even bigger lead in a hypothetical race against Harris.
    “By a wider margin, 49 percent of respondents would vote for Trump and 39 percent would vote for Harris if the 2024 race were between the two. Thirteen percent were unsure or didn’t know,” the pollsters found.
    The former president holds a massive lead against announced and currently-hypothetical primary opponents.
    “Trump continues to be the strong favorite among a competitive Republican field, according to the poll. In a hypothetical eight-way primary, 37 percent of respondents would vote for Trump, while 19 percent would back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose support has dropped from previous polls.”

  • Texas Teacher on Leave After Allegedly Taping 10-Year-Old to Chair, Allowing Him to Be ‘Punched and Kicked’ By Other Students

    Texas Teacher on Leave After Allegedly Taping 10-Year-Old to Chair, Allowing Him to Be ‘Punched and Kicked’ By Other Students

    A teacher in Forney, Texas, has been placed on administrative leave after allegedly duct-taping a 10-year-old to a chair and allowing him to be “punched and kicked” by his classmates.
    The student’s mother, Charlotte Johnson, was alerted about the incident by the assistant principal at Crosby Elementary, where her son attends.
    “The teacher taped my son to his desk with some tape and that some of the students in the classroom started hitting him and punching him in the head,” Johnson claimed the assistant principal told her, according to a report from local station Fox 4.
    According to the report, the incident allegedly took place on Wednesday after the lunch period.
    “Well it’s 3:28, 3:30, school’s out, why am I just now being informed? And she said, ‘well, your son went to the nurse,’” Johnson said, recounting her thoughts as she learned of what happened.
    The school claimed that Johnson’s son had been being “disruptive.”
    “She then continued to say, ‘well, he was being disruptive in the hallway,’” said Johnson.
    Johnson said that her son explained to her how he was taped down.
    “I said how did she tape you? Were your hands taped? And he said, ‘no ma’am she taped me like this’, so he went around his waist and went around and come back around. I said ‘oh, so she taped you around your waist to the back of the chair?’ and he said, ‘yes ma’am.’”
    After taping the student, Johnson says that she was told the teacher left the room — and her son was defenseless.
    “Left the kids unattended at that time, that’s when the students that sit behind him started punching him and slapping him over the head,” Johnson said. “I said what happened when the kids were hitting you over your head? What were you doing? Were you able to see anybody? He said, ‘no ma’am I had my hands like this, I didn’t want them to hit me in my face.”
    “He said he recognized one voice a male which said ‘I’m gonna slap you as hard as Will Smith slapped Chris Rock,’” she continued.
    A district spokesperson told the station that the incident is being investigated by police, but added “there are two sides to every story.”
    “The teacher has been placed on administrative leave,” the spokesperson said. “Forney ISD police are investigating. There are two sides to every story. We will allow police to carry out its due diligence.”
    Johnson’s attorney Krystal Williams has not been pleased with the response from the school.
    “Regardless of what a child does, when is it ever appropriate for a school teacher to reprimand them in that way?” Williams asked the station. “We want her terminated. We want her fired.”

  • MI: 17-Yr-Old Honor Student, Soccer Player, Shot and Killed by 13 and 14-Yr-Old Boys He Offered to Drive Home In Subzero Temperatures [VIDEO]

    MI: 17-Yr-Old Honor Student, Soccer Player, Shot and Killed by 13 and 14-Yr-Old Boys He Offered to Drive Home In Subzero Temperatures [VIDEO]

    100 Percent Fed Up reports – He was a 17-year-old high school senior, a varsity soccer player, and an honor roll student enrolled in an EMT program at a community college. But, most importantly, Jack Snyder was a good human being.
    The good Samaritan was killed last Friday night by two children, a 14-year-old and a 13-year-old, who Snyder was trying to help when he offered to give them a ride home after spotting them in the bitter cold on his way home from his girlfriend’s birthday party in Battle Creek, MI.
    The two young boys shot the 17-year-old honor student twice during an attempted carjacking.
    Both of the suspects have been arrested. The 14-year-old boy will be charged as an adult.

    Daily Mail reports that Jack Snyder was found lying next to his car at around 12:10 a.m. the morning of January 17 in Battle Creek after he was shot in an attempted carjacking, according to police.
    EMTs and medical personnel tried to revive the 17-year-old in subzero temperatures, but Snyder was declared dead at the scene.
    Battle Creek Police Sergeant Jeff Case said in a press conference earlier this week that Snyder’s desire to help led to his death.
    “The victim was trying to be a good Samaritan by giving them a ride with the cold temperatures. I do know that he resisted the carjacking. So again, he was trying to help out but wasn’t going to give over the car,” Case said.
    Fox 17 reported on the tragic incident:

    Chimner was charged Friday with felony murder, carjacking, and two weapons-related violations. He is being charged as an adult and faces a maximum life sentence without parole.
    The 13-year-old who turned himself in has already been charged with murder.
    The suspects had no known connection to Snyder. Case said they “have dealt with them before” but wouldn’t confirm any criminal history.
    Teachers held a vigil procession in honor of Snyder earlier this week.

    A funeral was held earlier Friday for Snyder.
    ‘Jack had a zest for life and made the world a better place with his care and love for everyone. He loved spending time with his family and friends.’
    ‘On behalf of my family and I, we want to thank every single person that has reached out and came to see us,’ his sister Meadow wrote in a Facebook post.
    ‘I’ve heard from people that I haven’t seen or heard from in years, and it shows how much support we have during this never-ending nightmare. My Brother was 17. He was supposed to graduate this year, and these monsters took his future away from him. He was the smartest out of all of us. He was gonna leave this shitty place. He had the biggest heart; he cared so much for others.’ They took our brother away from us. It doesn’t seem real; it’s all fake news. I miss him so much.’

    Al Sharpton’s Brother Pleads Guilty to Tax Evasion, Mail Fraud, Drug Conspiracy Charges, Faces 20 Years in Prison

    Al Sharpton’s half-brother Kenneth Glasgow pleaded guilty to tax fraud, mail fraud and drug conspiracy charges and is facing 20 years in prison.
    Kenneth Glasgow, an Alabama minister and ‘voting rights activist’ failed to pay income taxes on money he withdrew from his charities.
    Glasgow also committed Social Security fraud, AP reported.

    Al Sharpton and his brother Kenneth Glasgow
    Fox News reported:
    Rev. Al Sharpton’s half-brother pleaded guilty to tax evasion, mail fraud, and drug conspiracy charges on Friday.
    Kenneth Glasgow, an Alabama pastor, voting rights activist and half-brother to the famous Black pastor and MSNBC host, entered a guilty plea in Montgomery, Alabama federal court Friday, the Associated Press recently reported.
    Glasgow’s plea deal allowed the pastor to avoid a trial for his charges that would’ve been held in March. The pastor will be sentenced at a later date.
    In addition to his ministry, Glasgow founded “The Ordinary People Society.” The non-profit’s website describes it as a “faith-based organization that offers hope, without regard to race sex, creed, color or social status, to individuals and their families who suffer the effects of drug addiction, incarceration, homelessness, unemployment, hunger and illness.”
    He also founded the “Prodigal Child Project,” another non-profit that openphilanthropy.org says “organizes pastors in the southern U.S. in support of prisoners, former prisoners, their families, and communities.”
    AP stated that Glasgow claimed “Social Security disability benefits by falsely claiming on mailed forms that he had trouble driving.” However, prosecutors noted that the minister received several traffic citations between 2015 and 2020 providing evidence that he had been driving.
    In addition to fraud, Sharpton’s half-brother pleaded guilty to a drug conspiracy charge. He was recently found in possession of cocaine he was intent on distributing. Glasgow had also been charged with a drug conspiracy charge in 2021 along with an accomplice.
    Refusing to pay taxes must run in the family.
    In 2014 it was reported Al Sharpton owed $4.7 million in state and federal back taxes.

  • Imprisoned Serial Killer Accused of Murdering His Child Rapist Cellmate in California

    Imprisoned Serial Killer Accused of Murdering His Child Rapist Cellmate in California

    Escobar, 51, was sentenced to CDCR on May 6, 2022
    An imprisoned serial killer is accused of murdering his child-rapist cellmate less than a month after he arrived at the California prison.
    Pedophile Juan Villanueva, 53, was serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole in North Kern State Prison for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14.
    Unfortunately for Villanueva, he was bunked with Ramon Escobar, 51, who is in prison for killing five men and injuring seven others during a two-week-long spree of violence in California — and murdering his aunt and uncle in Texas in 2018.
    All of Escobar’s California victims were homeless except for one.
    “Prosecutors said Escobar bludgeoned victims with bolt cutters or a baseball bat as they lay sleeping on streets or the beach,” local station WRAL reports.
    According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Villanueva was found unresponsive in his cell during a welfare check at 8:49 a.m. Friday. He was pronounced dead shortly after 9 a.m.
    Villanueva, 53, deceased convicted pedophile.
    Villanueva had just been moved into the prison on February 2.
    “The Kern County Coroner ruled Villanueva’s death a homicide, and Escobar has since been placed in restrictive housing while the prison’s Investigate Services Unit and the Kern County District Attorney investigate Villanueva’s death,” Fox News reports.
    The convicted pedophile’s cause of death has not been revealed by the time of publishing.
    Escobar is already serving a life sentence without the chance of parole.

  • Blockbuster Report: Biden’s Open Borders for Child Migrants Horror: Dozens of Kids Killed; Legs Torn Off in Factories, Spines Shattered on Construction Sites, Thousands Lost by HHS

    Blockbuster Report: Biden’s Open Borders for Child Migrants Horror: Dozens of Kids Killed; Legs Torn Off in Factories, Spines Shattered on Construction Sites, Thousands Lost by HHS

    The New York Times published a blockbuster report on Saturday that details massive nationwide child labor horrors taking place because of Joe Biden opening the border to unaccompanied children in 2021 after President Trump fought hard to shut down child trafficking.

    The children are working to pay off their debts to cartel traffickers and their sponsors here, as well as to send remittances to their families back home. The Times found children working in factories and plants of major American companies and their suppliers across the country.
    “Migrant child labor benefits both under-the-table operations and global corporations, the Times found. In Los Angeles, children stitch “Made in America” tags into J. Crew shirts. They bake dinner rolls sold at Walmart and Target, process milk used in Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and help debone chicken sold at Whole Foods. As recently as the fall, middle-schoolers made Fruit of the Loom socks in Alabama. In Michigan, children make auto parts for Ford and General Motors.”

    In the rush, many migrant children end up working some of the most punishing jobs in the country. pic.twitter.com/Hs9wN5NVgk
    — The New York Times (@nytimes) February 25, 2023

    A March 16, 2021 statement by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a Cuban immigrant, laying out Biden’s open border policy basically told the world to send their unaccompanied children to the United States (excerpt):
    We are on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the last 20 years. We are expelling most single adults and families. We are not expelling unaccompanied children.
    …We are encountering many unaccompanied children at our southwest border every day. A child who is under the age of 18 and not accompanied by their parent or legal guardian is considered under the law to be an unaccompanied child. We are encountering six- and seven-year-old children, for example, arriving at our border without an adult. They are vulnerable children and we have ended the prior administration’s practice of expelling them.
    …I came to this country as an infant, brought by parents who understood the hope and promise of America. Today, young children are arriving at our border with that same hope. We can do this.
    The report by Times reporter Hannah Dreier is gut-wrenching. Excerpts via Yahoo:
    ….These workers are part of a new economy of exploitation: Migrant children, who have been coming into the United States without their parents in record numbers, are ending up in some of the most punishing jobs in the country, a New York Times investigation found. This shadow workforce extends across industries in every state, flouting child labor laws that have been in place for nearly a century. Twelve-year-old roofers in Florida and Tennessee. Underage slaughterhouse workers in Delaware, Mississippi and North Carolina. Children sawing planks of wood on overnight shifts in South Dakota.
    Largely from Central America, the children are driven by economic desperation that was worsened by the pandemic. This labor force has been slowly growing for almost a decade, but it has exploded since 2021, while the systems meant to protect children have broken down.
    …The number of unaccompanied minors entering the United States climbed to a high of 130,000 last year — three times what it was five years earlier — and this summer is expected to bring another wave.
    …While HHS checks on all minors by calling them a month after they begin living with their sponsors, data obtained by the Times showed that over the past two years, the agency could not reach more than 85,000 children. Overall, the agency lost immediate contact with one-third of migrant children.
    …Adolescents are twice as likely as adults to be seriously injured at work, yet recently arrived preteens and teenagers are running industrial dough mixers, driving massive earthmovers and burning their hands on hot tar as they lay down roofing shingles, the Times found.
    Unaccompanied minors have had their legs torn off in factories and their spines shattered on construction sites, but most of these injuries go uncounted. The Labor Department tracks the deaths of foreign-born child workers but no longer makes them public. Reviewing state and federal safety records and public reports, the Times found a dozen cases of young migrant workers killed since 2017, the last year the Labor Department reported any.
    The deaths include a 14-year-old food delivery worker who was hit by a car while on his bike at a New York City intersection; a 16-year-old who was crushed under a 35-ton tractor-scraper outside Atlanta; and a 15-year-old who fell 50 feet from a roof in Alabama where he was laying down shingles.
    This is a long, detailed report. Please read the rest of it at Yahoo and pass it on to Biden voters.

  • Brave Boy Reads Pornographic Book Out Loud To School Board Members That He Checked Out Of His Middle School Library [VIDEO]

    Brave Boy Reads Pornographic Book Out Loud To School Board Members That He Checked Out Of His Middle School Library [VIDEO]

    100 Percent Fed Up reports – After parents faced censorship by school boards for reading the contents of books permitted at their library, a sixth-grade student took his school board to task by doing the same thing this week.
    Parents at Windham Middle School have been engaged in a protracted battle with the school board and left-wing activists as they attempt to get pornographic content removed from libraries, a similar issue that parents have faced nationwide.
    Books included in the middle school’s library have age advisories above the age of students attending Windham.
    The book that 11-year-old Knox Zajac read, which depicts two male minors stealing alcohol from their parents and engaging in sex acts, has an advisory of 14 years or older.

    Another book that has attracted national controversy, ‘Genderqueer,’ has an age advisory of 18 years or older.
    Parents and elected officials in the area have noted that the school board has become less accountable to parents, with many saying that the school board has become increasingly hostile as they attempt to push left-wing initiatives on students.
    “It seems like the debate at the school board is stacked against parents,” Rep. Barbara Bagshaw (R-Windham) said, adding: “They pretty much want to shut down communication from parents.”
    The Maine Wire Reports:
    !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src=”https://rumble.com/embedJS/u8rjvp”+(arguments[1].video?’.’+arguments[1].video:”)+”/?url=”+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+”&args=”+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, “script”, “Rumble”);

    “Knox Zajac, an 11–year-old sixth grader, spoke up at a school board meeting last week to read aloud from the illustrated romance for teenagers, “Nick and Charlie,” that he had checked out of his school’s library. The story begins with two early teen boys stealing wine from their parents and proceeding to experiment sexually with one another.
    “A lot of parents just don’t know what’s going on in the school,” Knox’s father, Adam Zajac, told The Maine Wire. “What I don’t understand is how we have books in the middle school library that adults would be fired for having at work or potentially prosecuted for sharing with children given their pornographic content. It’s smut, really.”
    “State and Federal law prohibit the possession or distribution of pornographic material involving children, though cartoon images are a gray area.”

  • HORRIFYING: Vicious Dogs Maul One Man To Death, Injure Three More In Bloody Attack — Dogs Kept Coming Even After Firefighters Swung Pick Axes And Poles To Stop Them (VIDEO)

    HORRIFYING: Vicious Dogs Maul One Man To Death, Injure Three More In Bloody Attack — Dogs Kept Coming Even After Firefighters Swung Pick Axes And Poles To Stop Them (VIDEO)

    San Antonio, TX – A horrifying incident occurred on the West Side Of San Antonio Friday afternoon when two American Staffordshire terriers, a breed of pit bull terriers, one male and one female, killed an 81-year-old man, according to police.
    The dogs were American Staffordshire terriers, one of several breeds that falls under the broader classification of a pit bull, according to San Antonio Animal Care Services.
    KSAT reported the disturbing attack happened around 1:45 PM in the 2800 block of Depla Street. When San Antonio Fire Crews arrived on the scene, they noticed the helpless old man being dragged along the sidewalk by one of the two dogs involved in the attack.
    San Antonio Fire Chief noted the man was “completely bloody” when they arrived. He later died from his injuries at a local hospital, even after receiving blood transfusions at the scene.
    Three other people were injured in the incident.
    The two dogs behaved aggressively toward the firefighters once they arrived. They were forced to fight the animals off with pickaxes and poles so they could treat the victims at the scene.
    The firefighters struggled to fend off one dog, as you will see in the video.
    WATCH:

    One firefighter was bit in the leg during the confrontation, though he will be fine, according to reports.
    Both dogs involved in the attack were to be euthanized Friday night, along with a third dog from the same home as one of the other dogs.
    San Antonio Animal Care Services Director Shannon Sims said the two dogs responsible for the elderly man’s death were involved in another attack two years ago and had to be impounded by the shelter.
    Sims further elaborated the animal shelter has received calls over the last two years from neighbors regarding the dogs, saying they were neglected and appeared to be stray.
    Christian Alexander Moreno, 31, the owner of one of the dogs, was arrested by the San Antonio Police Department Covert Unit. He is facing a felony charge of attack by a dangerous dog causing death and a felony charge of injury to an elderly.

  • Subpoenas Fly – Special Counsel Jack Smith Ramps Up His Harassment Campaign Against Trump’s Inner Circle

    Subpoenas Fly – Special Counsel Jack Smith Ramps Up His Harassment Campaign Against Trump’s Inner Circle

    Special Counsel Jack Smith has issued a flurry of subpoenas as he ramps up his harassment campaign against Trump and his inner circle.
    The special counsel investigation was supposed to focus on whether Trump broke the law when he took White House records to Mar-a-Lago and the other part of the probe is related to January 6.
    However, Jack Smith has now expanded his investigation and is looking into Trump’s efforts to fight the massive 2020 election fraud operation in key swing states.
    Jack Smith recently subpoenaed Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner.
    “The subpoena for the couple is specifically related to the special counsel’s probe of Jan. 6 and the activities leading up to that day by the former president and his allies regarding efforts to overturn the 2020 election” – sources told ABC News.
    The Special Counsel also issued a subpoena to Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
    Trump asserted executive privilege with Mark Meadows in response to the subpoena.
    Jack Smith also filed a motion to compel former Vice President Mike Pence to testify.
    Pence resisted the grand jury subpoena for his testimony about Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election.
    According to Politico, rather than assert executive privilege, Pence will argue that as president of the Senate, he was acting as a member of the legislative branch on January 6 and is therefore protected by the DOJ’s demands.
    The Special Counsel investigation into whether Trump committed crimes has entered advanced stages, according to the Wall Street Journal.
    The Wall Street Journal reported:
    The special counsel investigating former President Donald Trump appears to have reached the advanced stages of his sweeping inquiry after a flurry of aggressive steps in recent weeks, some of which have set the stage for court fights that could take months to resolve.
    In recent days, special counsel Jack Smith’s office asked a federal judge to override Mr. Trump’s assertion of executive privilege to shield former Vice President Mike Pence from testifying before a grand jury about the former president’s efforts to stay in office after his 2020 election loss, people familiar with the effort said. Mr. Pence has vowed to mount his own challenge to the subpoena and take it as far as the Supreme Court.
    Mr. Pence’s subpoena followed a similar demand for former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to produce documents and testify before a grand jury as part of the investigation into efforts to keep Mr. Trump in power. Just as he did with Mr. Pence, Mr. Trump has asserted executive privilege with Mr. Meadows in connection with his subpoena.
    “In a typical case, these top-level, inner-circle people are some of the last people you’d expect to be subpoenaed,” said Randall Eliason, a former public-corruption prosecutor who now teaches criminal law at George Washington University.
    “You don’t talk to them at the beginning of the investigation, because you don’t know enough yet. Just looking at that, when I see subpoenas to the highest-level inner-circle people, that makes me think they’re close to wrapping up,” he added.
