  • NYC Woman Who Struck Pro-Life Activist in the Face Says She Was Provoked into Violence

    NYC Woman Who Struck Pro-Life Activist in the Face Says She Was Provoked into Violence

    The woman who punched a pro-life reporter in the face during a recorded interview issued an apology on Saturday. However, she argued that her “antagonistic” target provoked her into the act of violence, per the NY Post.

    Brianna Rivers, from the Bronx, acknowledged that she was in the wrong for hitting Savannah Craven Antao, a reporter for the pro-life organization Live Action.

    “To Savannah, I sincerely apologize but cannot sit around and allow you to continue pushing this one sided narrative. I understand hands being put on someone is never the answer, but throwing rocks and hiding hands is worse,” Rivers wrote in a Facebook post. “She knows the truth and she needs to release the footage in its entirety. Savannah is a professional antagonist not a ‘reporter’ and the truth will be told.”

    Rivers Shares Her Side of the Story

    Rivers posted a message claiming that Craven Antao was deliberately provoking her during their street interview in Harlem. In the video, Craven Antao continually interrupted Rivers while she was speaking. Rivers also alleged that Craven Antao edited the video to omit what she referred to as “relentless antagonization” and the moments that led up to the punch.

    “I will not allow my image to be defamed by this woman’s actions. Anyone who knows me knows how respectful I am, I don’t even litter, there’s no way you believe I’m punching people for disagreeing with my POV,” wrote Rivers. In the video, Antao can be heard accusing Rivers of being “OK with killing babies in foster care and killing children that have been abused.”

    “That’s not the point. What I’m saying is …” Rivers said before throwing a series of punches straight at Craven Antao’s face before walking away. The conservative influencer, known for posting videos that mock and criticize progressive women, ended up with a black eye, two stitches below her eyebrow, considerable pain in her nose, and a significant emotional toll, she told The Post.

  • Judge Orders Government to Bring Back Maryland Man Incorrectly Deported to El Salvador, ‘This Was an Illegal Act’

    Judge Orders Government to Bring Back Maryland Man Incorrectly Deported to El Salvador, ‘This Was an Illegal Act’

    On Friday, a federal judge in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction, ordering the government to ensure the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, by Monday, according to ABC News.

    “I am going to grant the motion for preliminary injunction I’ve reviewed, and I’ll read this word for word, so that there is no dispute that the oral order is the written order,” U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis remarked during Friday’s hearing, referencing the recent court case involving the Alien Enemies Act, where the government did not comply with another judge’s verbal orders.

    “This was an illegal act,” Xinis said of Garcia’s deportation. “The two defendants are hereby ordered to facilitate the return of plaintiff Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the United States by no later than 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 7, 2025.” Despite having protected legal status, Abrego Garcia was sent to the infamous CECOT mega-prison in El Salvador due to what the government described as an “administrative error.”

    While the government has admitted to the mistake, it previously stated in court documents that since Abrego Garcia is no longer in U.S. custody, the court cannot mandate his return to the U.S. or compel El Salvador to send him back. Last month, Abrego Garcia, whose wife is a U.S. citizen and has a 5-year-old child, was approached by ICE officers who informed him that his immigration status had changed, according to his attorneys. 

    He was detained and subsequently moved to a detention center in Texas before being sent to the CECOT prison in El Salvador on March 15, along with over 200 alleged Venezuelan gang members.

  • High-Profile Lawyer Joe Tacopina, Who Recently Represented ASAP Rocky, Confirms He Will Be Representing Wendy Williams in Ongoing Guardianship Battle

    High-Profile Lawyer Joe Tacopina, Who Recently Represented ASAP Rocky, Confirms He Will Be Representing Wendy Williams in Ongoing Guardianship Battle

    Renowned criminal defense lawyer Joe Tacopina has officially confirmed in an exclusive interview with News Nation that he is now representing media personality Wendy Williams in her ongoing guardianship battle.

    NewsNation’s Banfield, hosted by Ashleigh Banfield, Tacopina clarified the rumors regarding his role in Williams’ case, confirming his involvement.

    “I am, yes, I am representing her. I’m a personal attorney right now,” Tacopina stated. “I will be entering the guardianship case one way or another, but it’s a convoluted process. The judge has to approve guardianship attorneys. The last thing they want to do is see my face in that courtroom, so, yes, I will be representing her, I am her lawyer right now.”

    Tacopina is known for representing high-profile clients like Alex Rodriguez, Michael Jackson, President Donald Trump, and most recently ASAP Rocky who was found not guilty in his felony assault trial. This adds both star power and extensive courtroom expertise to Wendy Williams’ team as she seeks to regain control over her personal and financial matters. The former daytime talk show host, who has faced significant health and legal issues in recent years, has been under guardianship since 2022.

    Williams’ team has openly expressed concerns regarding the management of her finances and well-being. Tacopina recognized that entering the guardianship proceedings would be challenging due to judicial oversight and procedural obstacles. However, his involvement could signify a pivotal moment in Williams’ quest to regain her independence after almost three years.

  • Female Fencer Disqualified for Refusing to Compete Against Trans Opponent

    Female Fencer Disqualified for Refusing to Compete Against Trans Opponent

    A female fencer was disqualified from a tournament for refusing to compete against a transgender opponent, as reported by the NY Post. Stephanie Turner has gained attention for her protest at the Cherry Blossom Open in Maryland, where she took a knee to express her opposition to facing transgender athlete Redmond Sullivan. 

    Turner is now using her platform to express the “unfair” situation she finds herself in, stating that this has been a concern of hers throughout her career. During their match at the University of Maryland in College Park on March 30, the 31-year-old knelt on the fencing strip. Turner mentioned that she typically avoids entering events where she might face a transgender opponent, but chose to participate this time as a form of protest.

    Turner Speaks Out

    “So what I was doing already was just avoiding tournaments where I knew there was a transgender fencer. But at this point, what else should I do? Should I just not sign up for any tournaments? I have no other options,” Turner told the Daily Mail. According to Turner,  “Redmond didn’t hear me, and he comes up to me, and he thinks that I may be hurt, or he doesn’t understand what’s happening. He asks, ‘Are you OK?’ And I said, ‘I’m sorry. I have much love and respect for you, but I will not fence you,’” she recalled, without using her would-be opponent’s preferred pronouns.

    Turner’s protest at the Cherry Blossom Open resulted in her receiving a black card, which is the highest penalty in the sport. This led to her automatic expulsion from the tournament. The black card was issued due to her refusal to compete against Sullivan, who is recognized as an eligible opponent under the International Fencing Federation (FIE) regulations, as stated by the organization. “In the case of Stephanie Turner, her disqualification…was merely the direct result of her decision to decline to fence an eligible opponent, which the FIE rules clearly prohibit,” USA Fencing said in a statement.

  • Man Who Didn’t Know Girlfriend Was Pregnant Discovers Infant in Trash Bag on Their Front Porch

    Man Who Didn’t Know Girlfriend Was Pregnant Discovers Infant in Trash Bag on Their Front Porch

    A Georgia woman has been charged after allegedly giving birth and leaving her newborn in a trash bag outside her home, per Too Fab. Alaynah Marie Rappuh, 22, was taken into custody on Tuesday, April 1, in Bibb County. She is facing charges including criminal attempt to commit felony murder, reckless abandonment of a child, and first-degree cruelty to children. The sheriff’s office reported that she is being held without bond.

    The day prior, deputies were called to the Piedmont Macon Emergency Room regarding a woman experiencing “excessive bleeding,” prompting an investigation into the situation. According to the sheriff, Rappuhn was taken to the hospital by her boyfriend, who noticed her condition at home. Allegedly, as she was leaving, Rappuhn left a trash bag on the back porch. When her boyfriend returned to “retrieve some belongings,” he heard a noise “coming from the bag.” The sheriff stated that he discovered an infant wrapped in towels inside the bag.

    Boyfriend Makes Shocking Discovery

    This came as a shock to the boyfriend, as Rappuhn allegedly never told him about her pregnancy or that she had given birth that very day, per the sheriff. She also reportedly did not disclose to anyone at the hospital that she had just given birth when she arrived for treatment. Authorities stated that Rappuhn allegedly gave birth at 4:30 a.m., wrapped the newborn in a towel, and placed him into a trash bag. 

    The child was taken to the hospital, with the sheriff noting that the baby—a boy—was in critical but stable condition. A man who identified himself as the father, Dimitrios Mason, told WGXA, that he “forgave her already” for what she did. “I’m so sorry that my baby had to go through this. I just love them both and it’s a hard thing for me,” he continued. “I just pray to God, God forgives her…and that my baby has the best life that he could ever have. He started in a trash bag, but I’ll make sure he ends up on top.”

  • Transgender Woman Arrested for Using Women’s Restroom, Potentially Marking First Case Under Florida Law

    Transgender Woman Arrested for Using Women’s Restroom, Potentially Marking First Case Under Florida Law

    A transgender woman was arrested last month for attempting to use a women’s restroom at the Florida State Capitol building, according to the Tampa Bay Times. This incident may mark the first arrest under the state’s laws prohibiting transgender individuals from using restrooms and other facilities that align with their gender identity.

    Marcy Rheintgen, a 20-year-old resident of Illinois, was apprehended by Capitol police and charged with trespassing after she attempted to enter the women’s restroom at the State Capitol. In hopes of making a symbolic statement, the transgender college student had informed police and lawmakers in advance of her intentions. She provided them with a photograph of her identification and specified the restroom she planned to use.

    Rheintgen Speaks Out

    “I know that you know in your heart that this law is wrong and unjust,” Rheintgen said in the letter. On March 19, police approached her at the Capitol in an attempt to dissuade her from proceeding with her plans. However, Rheintgen went ahead and tried to use the restroom, resulting in her arrest.

    Initially, the officers informed Rheintgen that they would issue a notice to appear before a judge and allow her to go free. However, they later deemed her unsuitable for release after she became “sassy,” expressing interest that she might attempt to use the restroom again, as detailed in the arrest affidavit. Rheintgen spent the night in custody and was released the next day. 

    She mentioned that she did not expect to be arrested and now regrets the entire experience, according to the Times. “I got arrested, and I got sent to jail because of Gov. DeSantis’s policies – like that’s crazy, that’s crazy,” Rheintgen said. Florida has enacted a number of anti-LGBTQ+ “don’t say gay” laws, including one prohibiting transgender individuals from using restrooms, changing areas, and sleeping facilities that align with their gender identity in government and other public institutions.

  • Elderly Pennsylvania Woman Donates Jacket Containing Winning $2.5M Lottery Ticket She Left in the Pocket

    Elderly Pennsylvania Woman Donates Jacket Containing Winning $2.5M Lottery Ticket She Left in the Pocket

    An elderly woman in Pennsylvania misplaced her winning $2.5 million lottery ticket after leaving it in a jacket she donated to charity, according to the NY Post.

    Mildred Simoneriluto, 76, is urgently trying to recover her lost ticket as the expiration date is set for May 8th of this year. If she doesn’t find the physical ticket in time she will unfortunately lose out on her winnings. Simoneriluto purchased a Cash 5 lottery ticket at a grocery store in Murrysville in May 2024, and remembers her winning numbers vividly: 14, 22, 33, 35, and 38. She expressed feeling shocked when she learned she had won. However, she couldn’t find the actual ticket, which Pennsylvania Lottery officials say is necessary to claim her prize. 

    While attempting to retrace her steps, Simoneriluto remembered that she had placed the ticket in her jacket. But she had already donated it to Vietnam Veterans of America, a charity that distributes items globally. Simoneriluto mentioned that she specifically put the ticket in her jacket pocket to avoid forgetting it.

    She has has since returned to the grocery store where she bought the ticket several times, but employees informed her that there is nothing more they can do to assist her. Others are also keeping an eye out for the ticket in case it surfaces in their own jacket pockets. “What else can I do? Just cry out loud and hope something positive happens for me?” she expressed with frustration.

  • Toddler Expelled from Nursery School for Allegedly Being ‘Transphobic,’ Reports Say

    Toddler Expelled from Nursery School for Allegedly Being ‘Transphobic,’ Reports Say

    A British toddler was expelled from a nursery school after allegations of transphobic or homophobic behavior, according to local media cited by Fox News.

    The child, reportedly aged 3 or 4, was removed from an unnamed nursery “for being transphobic,” as stated in a report from the Telegraph on Monday. The UK’s Department for Education (DfE) did not reveal the name of the school or specific details regarding the incident. A spokesperson for the DfE commented to the newspaper that “all pupils and staff should feel safe and protected at school and should never face violence or abuse.”

    Statistics indicate that 94 students at state primary schools faced suspension or permanent expulsion due to transphobia and homophobia during the 2022-23 school year. This figure includes 10 students from year one and three from year two, where the maximum age is seven, according to the report.

    Renowned author J.K. Rowling, best known for her Harry Potter fantasy series, took to social media to express her disapproval regarding the suspension. “This is totalitarian insanity. If you think small children should be punished for being able to recognize (sic) sex, you are a dangerous zealot who should be nowhere near kids or in any position of authority over them,” she posted on X.

    Mother Arrested for Allegedly Forcing Young Child to Wear Dog’s Shock Collar, Police Say

    A New Jersey mother was arrested for allegedly using an electric shock collar intended for dogs on her young child, according to officials per the NY Post. 

    Kimberly Cruz-Feliciano, 30, from Cape May, NJ, was taken into custody on March 17 after her child arrived at school with noticeable marks on their neck, raising concerns among teachers, as stated by the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office in a news release.
