Horrific: Biden Grants Clemency to ‘Kids for Cash’ Judge Who Made Millions on Imprisoning Children

In 2011, Michael Conahan was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison after he and another judge, Mark Ciavarella, were found guilty of accepting $2.8m in illegal payments in exchange for sending more than 2,300 children – including some as young as eight years old – to private for-profit juvenile detention centers. Ciavarella, who was sentenced to 28 years in prison, is still incarcerated.

The video from Democracy Now provides a history of how the ‘kids for cash’ scheme was created by the two judges and then gives the heartbreaking details on how children’s lives were destroyed by being jailed. One of the children, Edward Kenzakoski, who was sentenced at age 17, eventually committed suicide after suffering a broken spirit and losing the chance at a wrestling scholarship. He was locked up multiple times under the ‘kids for cash’ system that ruined his life. Another young man who was a victim of the scheme died from a drug overdose. –JW Williams

Breaking: Joe Biden Gives Early Christmas Present to Child Killers and Mass Murderers: Commutes Death Sentences of 37 of 40 on Federal Death Row

Just days before Christmas, in his waning days of power, Joe Biden (or whoever is actually currently running the government) has commuted the death sentences of 37 of the 40 men on federal death row.

The violent, murderous bunch includes child killers and mass murderers.

Among those who will no longer face the death penalty:

Thomas Sanders: In 2010, Thomas kidnapped and shot 12-year-Lexis Roberts four times before cutting her throat. Lexis has already watched Thomas murder her mother while the two were on a road trip.

Anthony Battle: Battle attacked and murdered an Atlanta prison guard with a hammer in 1994. Battle was in prison for raping and murdering his wife.

Jorge Avila-Torrez: In 2005, Avila-Torrez sexually assaulted two little girls, Laura Hobbs, 8, and Krystal Tobias, 9 before stabbing them both to death. Avila-Torrez also strangled naval officer Amanda Snell, 20, to death inside her barracks in Virginia.

Iouri Mikhel: Mikhel murdered five Russian and Georgian immi­grants after kidnapping them for ransom.

Kaboni Savage: Savage, a drug dealer, committed or ordered the deaths of 12 people including four children.

James Roane, Jr.: Roane is implicated in the murder of 11 people.

Biden said in a statement announcing the generous Christmas president for perpetrators of evil, “Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss.”

“But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”

The three inmates not included are: Robert Bowers, who is responsible for the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018, which left 11 people dead; Dylann Roof, a White supremacist who killed nine Black parishioners at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015; and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who worked with his now-dead brother to perpetuate the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing that killed three people and injured hundreds.

FIREWORKS! Trump Fires Back at Panama’s President For Claiming “Every Square Meter” of the Panama Canal Belongs to Panama

President Trump on Sunday fired back at Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino for claiming “every square meter” of the Panama Canal belongs to Panama.

On Saturday Trump warned that the United States could seize back the Panama Canal unless the country agrees to lower its costs and counter Chinese influence.

“The United States has a vested interest in the secure, efficient, and reliable operation of the Panama Canal, and that was always understood. We would and will NEVER let it fall into the wrong hands! It was not given for the benefit of others, but merely as a token of cooperation with us and Panama. If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question. To the Officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly!” Trump said on Truth Social.

In a follow up social media post, President Trump explained why the Panama Canal is a vital national asset for the US:

The Panama Canal is considered a VITAL National Asset for the United States, due to its critical role to America’s Economy and National Security. A secure Panama Canal is crucial for U.S. Commerce, and rapid deployment of the Navy, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and drastically cuts shipping times to U.S. ports.

The United States is the Number One user of the Canal, with over 70 percent of all transits heading to, or from, U.S. ports. Considered one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the Panama Canal opened for business 110 years ago, and was built at HUGE cost to the United States in lives and treasure – 38,000 American men died from infected mosquitos in the jungles during construction.

Teddy Roosevelt was President of the United States at the time of its building, and understood the strength of Naval Power and Trade. When President Jimmy Carter foolishly gave it away, for One Dollar, during his term in Office, it was solely for Panama to manage, not China, or anyone else.

It was likewise not given for Panama to charge the United States, its Navy, and corporations, doing business within our Country, exorbitant prices and rates of passage. Our Navy and Commerce have been treated in a very unfair and injudicious way.

The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the U.S. This complete “rip-off” of our Country will immediately stop….

On Sunday Panama’s President fired back at Trump in a video statement.

“As President, I want to express clearly that every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent zone belongs to Panama, and will continue to do so,” Mulino said in video statement. “The sovereignty and independence of our country are not negotiable.”

“The Canal is not under direct or indirect control, neither by China, nor by the European Community, nor by the United States, nor by any other power,” Mulino said. “As a Panamanian, I strongly reject any manifestation that distorts this reality.”

“Panama respects other nations and demands respect,” he added.

Muslim polygamy mirrors gay lifestyle – Russian MP

As with his country’s rules on LGBTQ propaganda, allowing a man to marry multiple women is unacceptable, Vitaly Milonov has said

Polygamy remains illegal in Russia and is unequivocally unacceptable, lawmaker Vitaly Milonov has said. The MP’s comments follow a controversial announcement by a top Muslim authority in Russia that greenlights Muslim men to have up to four wives, provided they get treated equally.

In a Telegram post on Saturday, Milonov, a staunch advocate of traditional values and a vocal critic of LGBTQ activism, who once referred to homosexuality as ‘disgusting,’ launched a scathing critique against the fatwa issued last week by Russia’s Council of Ulema of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims (SAM) that permits the polygamous relationships.

“At present, there is not the slightest reason to claim that an exception could be made for anyone in Russia and that polygamy could be introduced. This is out of the question,” he said.

The MP went on to describe the announcement as an overreach akin to LGBTQ propaganda, which is banned in Russia. “We have just triumphed over LGBTQ, and you want to impose polygamy on us. This is not healthy either,” Milonov remarked.

He also said that the polygamy affair displays an “inappropriate, disrespectful attitude,” especially toward Russian women. “Each and every Russian woman deserves a decent, good man,” he stressed, adding that any other marital arrangement would be illegal.

Milonov further challenged the SAM to test public opinion by raising the issue in the State Duma. “You will see that the idea would be rejected,” the lawmaker predicted.

He was not the only one critical of the Muslim council’s announcement. Nina Ostanina, Chair of the State Duma Committee on Family, pointed out that Russia remains a secular state and that the SAM fatwa contradicts national legislation. However, Ravil Gainuttin, the chair of SAM, argued that the fatwa does not interfere with secular legislation and has to do rather with the internal affairs of Russia’s Muslim community.

Although polygamy is not recognized by Russian law, it is nonetheless practiced in certain regions of Russia, especially in the predominantly Muslim republics of the North Caucasus. In addition, polygamy in Russia is not a crime and it is not punishable by any penalties.

Russia has long sought to protect and promote traditional values. Last year, Moscow declared the LGBTQ movement “extremist” and in 2022 outlawed any propaganda extolling such values. In 2020 and following a public referendum, the Russian Constitution was amended to state that marriage is exclusively a union between a man and a woman.
