Former USA Gymnastics Coach Kills Himself After Being Charged with Human Trafficking, Sexual Assault

Former USA Gymnastics coach John Geddert committed suicide after he was charged on Thursday with 24 counts of criminal misconduct, including human trafficking and sexual assault, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced.

State officials confirmed the news to WLNS CBS that the coach died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 63 years old.

Geddert coached the 2012 U.S. women’s gold-winning Olympic team and worked closely with Larry Nassar, the disgraced physician convicted of multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct and child pornography that owned and operated Twistars USA Gymnastics gym near Lansing, Michigan, where Nassar also treated several gymnasts.

Geddert was charged with 14 counts of human trafficking and forced labor causing injury; six counts of human trafficking of a minor for forced labor; one count of continuing criminal enterprise; one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct; and one count of lying to a police officer during a violent crime investigation.

According to a news release, “Geddert sold his reputation as an Olympic-level coach and promised to unsuspecting parents that he could turn his students into world-class athletes, allowing them to secure college scholarships, the attorney general’s office alleges.

“Under the guise of coaching, he reportedly subjected multiple young women to an environment of continued abuse, in which he also neglected the advice of medical doctors – except that provided by Larry Nassar, who served for around 20 years as Geddert’s team physician and in-house medical expert at Twistars,” the statement added.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said at a news conference that Geddert “used force, fraud and coercion against the young athletes that came to him for gymnastics training for financial benefit” to him.

Ted Cruz: ‘Criminals, Murderers, Rapists’ Entering on Biden’s ‘Most Radical Immigration Plan Proposed in History’

Sen. Ted Cruz issued a stunning rebuke on Thursday of President Joe Biden’s “most radical immigration plan any administration has ever proposed in history.”

“They have proposed allowing every single person who was deported from this country for the last four years to come back. And by the way,” Cruz explained, “they don’t make exceptions for criminals, for murderers, for rapists. I mean, it is utterly bizarre to have a federal administration refusing to enforce the law against violent criminals.”

“We are a nation of immigrants and there are wonderful people who come here and come here legally. There’s a right way to come,” the Texas senator said. “But today’s Democratic Party has been radicalized where they’re you know, they’re not even willing to enforce the law against violent criminals who are committing horrific crimes.”

Cruz’s comments come amid a federal judge blocking Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from implementing a halt on deportations, a blow to the administration’s efforts to dismantle interior immigration enforcement.

Hours after taking office on January 20, Biden’s administration issued a memo that sought to halt most deportations of illegal aliens for at least 100 days. As a result, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit requesting a preliminary injunction on the “unlawful” deportation halt.

On Wednesday, United States District Judge Drew B. Tipton granted the preliminary injunction, which prevents the Biden administration from implementing the deportation halt until the U.S. Southern District of Texas District Court, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, or the U.S. Supreme Court resolves the case.

Dale Wilcox with the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) said Tipton’s blockage of the deportation halt “should hold up on appeal” and called Biden’s memo a “bizarre and sinister attempt to shutter our entire immigration law enforcement system.”

US Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman Says “Militia Groups Want to Blow Up Capitol” When Biden Delivers State of the Union Address

They fear the people.

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman testitifed on Thursday that militia groups want to blow up the US Capitol and kill as many people as possible when Joe Biden delivers his State of the Union Address.

Yogananda offered no evidence for her outlandish remarks.

According to Yogananda: “We know that militia groups that were present on January 6th have stated their desires that they want to blow up the Capitol and kill as many members as possible with a direct nexus to the State of the Union – which we know that date has not been identified. So based on the information, we think it’s prudent that Capitol Police maintain its enhanced and robust security posture until we address those vulnerabilities moving forward.”

SWABBED: Chinese Government Anally Swabs U.S. Diplomats, Biden’s State Department Begs Them To Stop

The Chinese government originally claimed that the anal swab Covid test was applied "in error," before disregarding U.S. protests about the "dignity" of State Department officials

The Chinese government forcibly anally swabbed U.S. diplomatic officials as part of the Chinese Communist Party’s new Covid testing protocols “in error,” prompting Joe Biden’s U.S. State Department to beg China to stop violating the “dignity” of Biden officials.

VICE and the Washington Post were among the first outlets to report the story, in which China originally promised to stop anally swabbing State Department officials after complaints from the Biden administration, but has now reversed course and denied forcibly applying the test in the first place.

“The State Department never agreed to this kind of testing and protested directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when we learned that some staff were subject to it,” a spokesperson from Biden’s State Department reported to VICE on Wednesday.

“We have instructed staff to decline this test if it is asked of them, as was done in the past,” the Chinese government responded, with Chinese Foreign Ministry official Zhao Lijian later claiming that “China has never requested US diplomatic personnel in China to undergo anal swabs.”

As National File reported earlier this year, China is increasingly reliant on anal swabs as part of its Covid test toolkit, and has anally swabbed entire schools full of middle-school-age children and staff:

Beijing disease specialist at You’an Hospital’s Li Tongzeng stated, “What we’ve found is that in some infected patients, the coronavirus survives for a longer period of time in their digestive tract or excrement than in their respiratory tract.” This digestive longevity leads Li and other experts to believe that anal swabs may be more effective.

Li added that while some people may be completely asymptomatic and show no trace of the virus in their respiratory system, residual traces of the virus could be unearthed in the anus.

According to the Global Times, a situation in which an entire school full of primary school students and staff were anally swabbed following a 9-year-old boy’s contraction of the virus has prompted multiple experts to “wonder if anal swabs could be more accurate in detecting the virus than other measures.”

According to Chinese health guidelines, anal swabs are inserted up to five inches deep in the rectum, and then rotated for maximum effect before removal.

“We Don’t Find It Safe Enough” – EU Lawmaker Jérôme Rivière: Mail-in Ballots and Voting Machines Banned in France

In the aftermath of the 2020 elections, honest Americans are looking to make widespread reforms to the voting systems and procedures used in America.

One America’s Jack Posobiec spoke with a French member of the European Parliament Jérôme Rivière to see whether foreign countries use the same kinds of election practices as the U.S.

Riviere told One America News France banned mail-in ballots in 1975 because it was too easy to cheat. Now the Macron government is pushing early voting through machine voting but the senate refused to pass the amendment. Jerome says, “We don’t find it safe enough.”

Ireland and The Netherlands also banned electronic voting in recent years.

Biden CIA Nominee Lies About Relationship With Chinese Communist Party Propaganda Front

President Biden’s nominee for director of the Central Intelligence Agency, who formerly served as the president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, falsely claimed he cut ties with a Chinese Communist Party “not long after” he joined the think tank.

The nominee, William Burns, told Senator Marco Rubio that he “inherited” the think tank’s relationship with the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) but cut ties with the group “not long after” he began during his confirmation hearing.

Burns, who joined the think tank in 2014, however, continued the think tank’s involvement with CUSEF.

CUSEF – part of the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front effort that seeks to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition” and encourage foreign actors to “adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies” – has had a close relationship with the Carnegie Endowment since 2009, including sponsoring trips for Chinese Communist Party officials to speak at the think tank.

The Daily Caller notes, however, that “CUSEF’s last donation to Carnegie was in 2017, according to a spokesperson for Carnegie and its 2018 annual report.”

And Tung Chee-hwa, the founding chairman of CUSEF, also visited the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center in March 2017 – both events occurring three years after Burns joined the think tank.

A host of Carnegie Endowment leaders – including Vice President Douglas Paal – have also contributed to CUSEF’s quarterly journal, China-US Focus throughout Burns’s tenure.

MOVIE IS GETTING GOOD!

Demi Lovato says gender reveal parties are transphobic: 'There are boys with vaginas and girls with penises'

'Only individuals can determine their own gender'

Pop singer Demi Lovato claimed that gender reveal parties are "transphobic" in a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday. The post was not Lovato's original thought, but rather a copy and paste from Alok Vaid-Menon, a self-described "internationally acclaimed gender non-conforming writer, performer, and public speaker."

"Gender reveals uphold the gender binary and the binary prevents people from observing reality," the post about parties for unborn babies read. "Only individuals can determine their own gender."

"It's both insincere and incorrect to pretend that gender reveal parties are not transphobic," the nine-slide Instagram post stated. "You can't have your proverbial pink-blue binary cake and eat it, too. This is not about political correctness; it's just … correct. We condemn gender reveals not because of our identity, but because of reality."

"Gender reveals require not just the invalidation of transness, but the impossibility of transness," the post from the 28-year-old singer claimed. "The assumption is that the baby is cis. Cisness is positioned as the default and everyone else is understood as derivative of it."

"The idea goes: while we might 'identify' as trans now, we were 'originally' 'born' cis and we later 'became' trans," the screed continued. "When in truth, everyone is just born. And we all become after the fact."

Lovato's post said that basing someone's gender off their genitalia is "inconsistent with science."

The post argued that there were more genders than just male and female, "Gender reveals are based on the illusion that genitals=gender and that there are only two options 'boy' or 'girl. This definition erases the fact that there are boys with vaginas and girls with penises and that there are people who are neither boys nor girls."

The Instagram post asserted that people believing there only being two genders "naturalizes cultural myths as 'biological facts.'"

The caption on the post said that there is a misunderstanding of what transphobia is, "Transphobia is not just prejudice or violence against an individual trans person, it is a belief system that presumes non-trans people to be more 'natural' than trans people. Only individual people can self determine their gender."

Earlier this week, Lovato talked about her own sexuality during an InStyle interview.

"I'm very fluid," she said. "I think love is love. You can find it in any gender. I like the freedom of being able to flirt with whoever I want."

In September, Lovato expressed shame in her whiteness because of racial injustice and the high-profile deaths of black people.

"At first, I was self-conscious about speaking out about these issues because I didn't want anyone to feel like it wasn't genuine," Lovato wrote. "I also felt like I wanted to call every person of color that I knew and apologize, which I know isn't the right thing to do either. Like a lot of people, I didn't know what to do."

"All I knew was that I hated that I shared the same skin color as the people accused of committing heinous crimes against Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and many, many other Black lives," Lovato said.

WTF? Rigged game

WA opposition leader concedes defeat weeks before election day

Western Australia's Opposition Leader has conceded defeat, three weeks before election day.

Zak Kirkup made the sober admission in a series of tweets earlier today.

It comes as polling shows Premier Mark McGowan is set for a landslide victory.

"As I get around the state, many West Aussies are telling me Mark McGowan's job is safe," Mr Kirkup said.

"We have to acknowledge that, because I don't want to treat people like mugs.

"I'm not going to stop fighting, but I'm not going to pretend and make this election about something it's not."

A Newspoll released last week showed Mr McGowan's Labor Party ahead of the Liberals by a 68-32 margin.

If the election is close to that number, the Liberals would effectively be wiped out from Parliament.
