    Jan. 6 Insurrectionist Pardoned By Trump Continues To Face Charges In Child Sex Abuse Case, Reports Say

    A North Carolina man pardoned by President Donald Trump for assaulting a police officer during the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection is still facing charges for possessing child sex abuse material, per Huff Post.

    David Paul Daniel, 37, pleaded guilty this month to pushing a heavy wooden barricade into officers at the Capitol. Following the initial breach, he led a second breach into the Senate Wing Door before fleeing through a broken window. He was one of 600 individuals charged with resisting or assaulting law enforcement. All of whom received pardons from Trump on his first day in office.

    Agents identified Daniel by reviewing his public social media accounts. He posted photos of himself in clothing that matched what he wore at the Capitol, according to the complaint. The FBI investigation revealed that Daniel was already under investigation in Charlotte, North Carolina, for child exploitation.

    Daniel Gets Busted For Child Sexual Abuse

    The Mint Hill Police Department informed federal investigators that from 2015 to 2019, Daniel had allegedly sexually assaulted a minor multiple times. He allegedly showered with a minor, took nude photos of her, and instructed her to take nude photos. Daniel denied any inappropriate behavior. He told detectives he doesn’t recall showering with her, according to a 2021 interview referenced in the application.

    On November 30, 2023, FBI agents and Mint Hill police searched Daniel’s home. They seized devices that allegedly contained sexually explicit images of a minor.

    He was indicted in October 2024 on federal charges of production of child pornography and possession of child pornography. He pleaded not guilty. In December 2024, he was moved to federal custody in Washington, D.C., for his Capitol riot case. After pleading guilty to assaulting a police officer at the Capitol on January 8, he was pardoned by Trump. He remains in custody as the child abuse case is pending.

  • Officer Faces Termination For Accidentally Shooting Driver With His Own Gun During Traffic Stop

    Officer Faces Termination For Accidentally Shooting Driver With His Own Gun During Traffic Stop

    A female police officer is facing termination after accidentally shooting a man with his own gun during a traffic stop in Florida, according to TMZ.

    Body camera footage shows Jason Arrington cooperating with the officers on the scene. In the video released by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, he calmly informs an officer that he has a gun on him. Arrington was stopped for running a red light. As he gets out of his SUV, two officers search him. That’s when Officer Mindy Cardwell takes the gun from his waistband, and it unexpectedly goes off.

    There was immediate chaos as another officer told Cardwell to drop the gun. He then helped the injured Arrington to a grassy area. Blood was soaking through Arrington’s pants because the bullet had gone through his upper thigh. This caused a serious arterial bleed, reports note. The officers were able to stop the bleeding quickly with a tourniquet.

    Arrington is expected to make a full recovery. He is now suing over the incident from December. He claims he has lasting injuries that affect his job as a crane operator. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said an internal investigation found Cardwell was incompetent. She is in the process of being fired.

    Officials determined that she had trouble pulling Arrington’s gun from its holster and accidentally placed her fingers inside the trigger guard, which caused the gun to fire. In the state of Florida, residents are legally allowed to have a concealed weapon without a permit.

  • 22 States File Lawsuit To Stop Trump’s Order Ending Birthright Citizenship

    22 States File Lawsuit To Stop Trump’s Order Ending Birthright Citizenship

    Attorneys general from 22 states filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to block President Donald Trump‘s plan to end birthright citizenship, which has been in place for over a century, according to AP News.

    Birthright citizenship means that children born in the U.S. are citizens, no matter their parents’ immigration status. This practice was established after the Civil War when Congress approved the 14th Amendment in July 1868, guaranteeing citizenship for everyone, including Black people.

    “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,”

    the 14th Amendment says.

    “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” 

    Trump’s executive order, which is about 700 words long and was issued late Monday, challenges this amendment. This move is something he has discussed during his presidential campaign. It hints at a long legal battle over the president’s immigration policies and the right to citizenship.

    “The president cannot, with a stroke of a pen, write the 14th Amendment out of existence, period,”

    New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin said. 

    The White House said it is prepared to go to court against the states and referred to the lawsuits as

    “nothing more than an extension of the Left’s resistance.”

    White House Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields said,

    “Radical Leftists can either choose to swim against the tide and reject the overwhelming will of the people, or they can get on board and work with President Trump.”

  • White Woman Issues Apology After Wrongly Accusing Black Real Estate Developer Of Trespassing At His Home In Ohio

    White Woman Issues Apology After Wrongly Accusing Black Real Estate Developer Of Trespassing At His Home In Ohio

    A controversial incident involving alleged racial profiling in an upscale Ohio neighborhood has gained significant attention online. A woman was recorded on a ring camera accusing real estate developer, Mike Jenkins, of trespassing at his own home. She has since taken to social media to defend her behavior.

    The situation went viral after Jenkins’ home security footage captured the exchange between him and his neighbor, sparking discussions about racial profiling and neighborly interactions. The woman, identified as Michelle Bishop, was reportedly jogging with her two small children when she encountered Jenkins. She claimed to have felt threatened by a vehicle that was approaching them slowly, prompting her to run towards the nearest house, which happened to be Jenkins’ home.

    When Jenkins arrived and introduced himself as the homeowner, Bishop responded with skepticism, saying,

    “I don’t believe that,”

    before leaving the property with her children. Later she is seen running down the street crying out for

    “help.”

    Following the video’s viral spread, Bishop faced significant backlash online, with many accusing her of racial profiling. In an emotional outburst, she insisted she wouldn’t apologize for any racist claims and that her only concern was for her children’s safety, stating,

    “I am the furthest thing from racist.”

    Bishop also mentioned that she couldn’t see Jenkins’ race at the time because it was dark. Jenkins later took to his Instagram to discuss the incident, expressing how calm he remained throughout. He shared his pride in managing the situation with composure, noting that it would have been easy to react with anger.

  • Ex-Convict Decapitated Man Who Impregnated His Wife While He Was Incarcerated

    Ex-Convict Decapitated Man Who Impregnated His Wife While He Was Incarcerated

    An ex-convict strangled and decapitated a man who had impregnated his wife while he was incarcerated, according to authorities per the NY Post. The victim’s hands were also severed and later found by a five-year-old boy, in a mailbox.

    Anthony Newton, 45, is now facing charges for the brutal murder of Ulisys ‘Cesar’ Molina. Molina’s burned and dismembered remains were found in a vacant lot near Las Vegas in 2017, after his family reported him missing, as reported by KLAS. In court last week, a Nevada judge heard that Newton, along with his brother-in-law and another woman, allegedly lured Molina to the woman’s apartment around Christmas 2016 and killed him due to the affair.

    One of Molina’s severed hands was discovered in a mailbox by a five-year-old child nearly two years later. The circumstances surrounding how the hand ended up there remain unclear, and it’s unknown whether the family that owned the mailbox had any connection to Molina. His head and the other hand have never been located.

    Newton is currently facing the death penalty in a retrial after a judge declared a mistrial in the original case last November when a co-defendant disclosed Newton’s previous prison sentence to the jury. Newton’s wife, Jami Malaperdas, was having an affair with Molina in 2015 while Newton was in prison, although the specific crime that led to Newton’s imprisonment is not clear. According to the defense, Malaperdas became pregnant and later got an abortion.

    A 36-year-old woman from the St. Louis area, who was vacationing in Puerto Rico, has been accused of vandalizing and burning down several family-owned businesses, per Fox 2 Now. Federal investigators claim her actions were motivated after she was denied an alcoholic beverage.

    Puerto Ricans in St. Louis are upset and outraged by Bertothy’s actions. Hector Vega from the Puerto Rican Society of St. Louis expressed,

    “We all have drinks, but I don’t know. I never had thoughts of, after drinks, going to do something like this.”

    The society has been advocating for her arrest and has been in contact with the owners of the affected businesses in Puerto Rico.
