Democrat Georgia Mayor Arrested for Child Molestation, Wife Charged with Cruelty to Children

A Democrat mayor in Georgia has been arrested for child molestation, and his wife was also arrested and charged with cruelty to children.

Joseph Kelly, 38, the mayor of the City of Climax and a Decatur County School District employee, was charged with two counts of child molestation. Natalie Kelly, 44, was charged with two counts of cruelty to children in the second degree.

According to the school district’s website, he is a math teacher at Bainbridge High School. It is unclear if he remains employed there.

The acts are alleged to involve multiple children.

Both were arrested on Saturday.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement:

“On Saturday, May 31, 2025, the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office requested the assistance of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to investigate allegations that Joseph Kelly had sexual contact with multiple minors. Both Joseph and Natalie Kelly were arrested later that same day by GBI agents and Decatur County Sheriff’s Office investigators. They were booked into the Decatur County Jail.”

The bureau added, “At this time, there is no indication that the alleged acts are related to his employment.”

The accused child predator has since been released on a $55,400 bond. His wife was released on a $11,400 bond.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Former CIA analyst: ‘100 percent sure’ CIA had some involvement in massive Ukrainian drone strike on Russian airfields

By now you’ve all heard something about Ukraine’s massive assault of killer drones that attacked Russian airfields housing Russia’s nuclear bomber fleet in Siberia and several other locations deep within the country’s heartland.

The mainstream narrative is that the operation took upwards of 18 months to plan and execute and was “personally overseen” by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Sorry, folks, but I don’t buy it. This attack was not something a guy like Zelensky, whose skill set includes being a former homo-erotic dancer and actor, was prepared for.

The attack, according to mainstream reports, took out 41 aircraft or roughly 34 percent of Russia’s fleet of strategic bombers.

Yet, other knowledgeable sources, such as former British diplomat Alastair Crook, estimate the number of lost Russian bombers at closer to 7, or roughly 5 percent of the country’s overall fleet. The Western media is always going to take information from Kiev at face value, rather than question it or compare it to what the Russian media is reporting.

Anyway, it’s fair to say that whether it was 5 percent, 10 percent or 34 percent, what happened on Sunday in Russia was a major propaganda victory for Ukraine and an embarrassing intelligence lapse for Russia.

Will it change the trajectory of the war between Russia and Ukraine? Absolutely not. And that trajectory has been going in Russia’s favor for months.

But one big unanswered question is how much, if anything, was known about this attack in the bowels of the Washington deep state in Washington, D.C.

Did the president himself know about it? The official line is that he did not.

However, that doesn’t mean the U.S. government wasn’t involved.

As former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said Monday in an interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano, the U.S. government would likely strive to give the president plausible deniability for an operation like this, which took place some 2,700 miles inside Russia and away from the frontlines of the ongoing war.

In a NATO proxy war against Russia, with Ukraine serving as the proxy, somebody in Washington and/or London had to of been involved in an operation as sophisticated and strategic as the one that went down in Russia on Sunday, Johnson said.

“I guarantee you,” he said. “At least one, if not more officers, within the Central Intelligence Agency knew about this and may have even been involved with the planning for it and the operation of it.”

Here We Go: Trump Administration Launches Investigation into Biden Autopen Scandal – Here Are the Details

The long-awaited investigation into Joe Biden’s autopen scandal has begun and several members of his family should start sweating.

Reuters obtained an email from Ed Martin, the Justice Department’s pardon attorney, Ed Martin, telling staff that he has been ordered to investigate clemency allegedly granted by Biden in the final his time in office to his family members and death row inmates.

Martin wrote in the email that he will investigate whether Biden “was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means.”

The email states that Martin will specifically focus on the preemptive pardons Biden issued to six members of his crooked family and the clemency he granted to 37 child r*pists, murderers, and other violent thugs on death row.

Biden’s executive orders apparently will not be covered in the investigation.

As TGP readers know, Biden pardoned five members of his family hours before Trump took the oath of office back in January.

Biden issued preemptive pardons to James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden for any nonviolent offenses they may have committed from January 1, 2014, through the date of the pardon.

On December 1, Biden pardoned his ne’er do well son Hunter. The pardon, which covered any federal crimes by Hunter from 2014 to 2024, ended a case that was blown open by IRS whistleblowers who spoke out after the Biden Justice Department slow-walked an investigation into Hunter, allowing the statute of limitations to pass on some charges and offering Hunter a sweetheart plea deal that was ultimately rejected by an incredulous federal judge in Delaware resulting in the appointment of a special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland in the case.

News of this investigation comes after Martin identified the gatekeepers involved in the autopen scandal late last month.

US shifting Greenland military oversight in ownership push

The Pentagon plans to move its oversight of Greenland from U.S. European Command to U.S. Northern Command, a switch that would bring the Denmark-aligned island closer to alignment with the United States.

The change, first reported by Politico, comes as President Trump has repeatedly expressed an interest in taking control of the autonomous territory, where the U.S. military houses a base. Trump on the campaign trail and after taking office has said the U.S. taking control Greenland is a national security issue.

Shifting the responsibility for U.S. security interests in Greenland to Northcom, the military command that oversees America’s homeland defense, would largely be symbolic but underscores Trump’s focus on the territory.

The move could come as soon as this week, a Defense Department official and two people familiar with the planning told Politico. 

The Pentagon did not return a request for comment from The Hill.

Reports first emerged last month that the Trump administration was mulling the move as Greenland is part of the North American continent, even as it is associated with Europe politically and culturally given it is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark. 

Trump in his first term floated the notion of buying Greenland, but in his second term has doubled down on the idea. He has declined to rule out using military force in taking the island.

“I don’t rule it out. I don’t say I’m going to do it, but I don’t rule out anything,” Trump said in a May 4 interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“We need Greenland very badly,” he added. “Greenland is a very small amount of people, which we’ll take care of and we’ll cherish them and all of that. But we need that for international security.”

French experts fled Newsom’s project, said California was ‘more dysfunctional’ than North Africa…

This story’s a couple years old, but it’s making the rounds again, and the timing couldn’t be better, with Gavin Newsom likely eyeing a 2028 presidential run.

It’s a perfect snapshot of the political dysfunction rotting this country from the inside out, especially in California. Remember the infamous California bullet train debacle? The one that was supposed to be a marvel of American infrastructure but turned into a flaming dung heap of taxpayer waste?

Here’s a quick update on the fiasco, which is now a full decade behind schedule and $10 billion over budget.

Kevin Dalton:

Gavin Newsom 2010: California is going to get it right with this new high speed rail. Reality 2024: The $33 BILLION high speed rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco to be completed in 2020 is now a $128 BILLION train from Bakersfield to Merced with no expected date of completion. Trump 2025: Shut it down

Newsom, the former mayor of San Francisco, has been trying – and failing – to build this railway for a ridiculous 17 years.

And yet, nobody seems to know where all that money went.

Arbitrary Power: The Definition of Tyranny

“The curse and scandal of human nature.”

That’s how James Otis, Jr. described arbitrary power. It wasn’t just a sign of tyranny, or a step toward it. It was the very definition of tyranny.

It is power without right.

And that principle pervades the Declaration of Independence.

But this wasn’t a new idea born of the American Revolution. The principle stretches back thousands of years and became the driving force behind written constitutions.

The Founders didn’t just fear arbitrary power or fight against it. They defined it. And they warned us: it leads to tyranny, every single time.

WHAT IS ARBITRARY POWER?

James Otis Jr. defined it this way in 1762:

“arbitrary; which in plain English means no more than to do as one pleases.”

The principle carried forward to the Constitution itself. “Lighthorse” Harry Lee made the standard clear: if a power exercised isn’t enumerated, it’s arbitrary and unconstitutional.

“When a question arises with respect to the legality of any power, exercised or assumed by Congress, it is plain on the side of the governed. Is it enumerated in the Constitution? If it be, it is legal and just. It is otherwise arbitrary and unconstitutional.”

So any time government acts beyond the limits of a constitution, it is arbitrary. It is lawless.

To Otis, arbitrary power wasn’t just dangerous. It was vile. It was corrupt.

“the curse and scandal of human nature”

The old revolutionaries considered arbitrary power the very definition of tyranny.

Otis was calling the British out for violating their own system – the long-standing, unwritten British constitution. Instead of honoring it, they were ruling by arbitrary power.

“a greater difference on this side the Grave cannot be found, than that which subsists between British subjects, and the slaves of tyranny.”

AI recruiting is all the rage — as employers hand the screening of new hires over to robots: ‘Seemed insane’

It’s the rise of the robo-recruiters.

Employers are turning to artificial intelligence to screen potential new human hires.

AI recruiting software is increasingly subbing in for actual people during preliminary interviews — with a fake person quizzing candidates and inquiring about their skills, before delivering their findings to managers.

“A year ago this idea seemed insane,” Arsham Ghahramani, co-founder and chief executive officer of Toronto-based AI recruiting startup Ribbon, told Bloomberg. “Now it’s quite normalized.”

Companies say the goal is to ultimately make the interview process more efficient and accessible for candidates — without needing human recruiters to be online all day.

For employers, particularly those hiring at high volume, the switch can save hundreds of hours of manpower per week.

Busted: The Daily Mail and X’s Misinformation Campaign about Measles

On May 31, The “Daily Mail” and the web-based news aggregator “All Sides” had articles titled: “CDC tells Americans to CANCEL their flights after finding world’s most infectious disease is spreading on planes.”

This is one of the most clear-cut examples of fake news being deployed in a coordinated manner to advance a psychological bioterror campaign that I have ever encountered.

These articles make outright false claims about Measles. Other terms to describe what is being done here include psychological bioterrorism, fear porn, or simply lies and disinformation. The proof of this follows. Which leads to the burning question of whether or not the notoriously censorial UK Government of Keir Starmer will do anything about it. If not, we can reasonably consider this prima facie evidence that the UK government is (at a minimum) complicit in spreading disinformation and promoting false fear of infectious disease for some hidden purpose.

Anthony Fauci Gets Demolished by White House in New Covid Update

Anthony Fauci must be furious.

He spent years proudly being the public face of the country’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. He did, however, flip-flop on almost every major issue, seamlessly managing to shift his guidance based on current political whims and an enormous desire to coerce behavior.

Nowhere was this more obvious than his dictates on masks. If you recall, in February 2020, Fauci infamously stated on 60 Minutes that masks didn’t work. That they didn’t provide the protection people thought they did, there were gaps in the fit, and wearing masks could actually make things worse by encouraging wearers to touch their face.

Just a few months later, he did a 180, then backtracked by making up a post-hoc justification for his initial remarks. Laughably, Fauci said that he recommended against masks to protect supply for healthcare workers, as if hospitals would ever buy cloth masks on Amazon like the general public.

Later in interviews, he guaranteed that cities or states that listened to his advice would fare better than those that didn’t. Masks would limit Covid transmission so effectively, he believed, that it would be immediately obvious which states had mandates and which didn’t. It was obvious, but not in the way he expected.

Human trafficking hotline contractor under scrutiny over ‘revolving door’ allegations

The Polaris Project, which oversees the hotline that whistleblowers say regularly fails to refer tips to law enforcement for investigation, has longstanding ties to the Department of Health and Human Services office that oversees its grant, raising concerns about whether the nonprofit is facing proper scrutiny for its contract.

Polaris, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that administers the National Human Trafficking Hotline, has faced scrutiny from Congress in recent months after whistleblowers came forward alleging that the hotline was failing to report tips to law enforcement over several years, generating concerns from state attorneys general, Just the News previously reported. 

Last month, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, presented evidence turned over to Congress by an anonymous employee of Polaris detailing the prior allegations. The whistleblowers’ disclosures, Grassley wrote, “appear to confirm the allegations that Polaris is not reporting instances of potential human trafficking to law enforcement.” 

Grassley’s letter highlighted that earlier this year, Polaris’ hotline failed to report to law enforcement at least two instances of possible sex trafficking involving minors. Polaris says that it “supports survivors’ right to choose what those next steps might be” including reports to law enforcement, “[except] in situations involving potential abuse of a minor or if we believe a person is in imminent danger.” 

The whistleblower evidence follows repeated letters from bipartisan groups of state attorneys general raising concerns with the federal health agency that Polaris was failing to report tips to its hotline despite the million-dollar contract and efforts by past administrations to ensure the nonprofit was better cooperating with local law enforcement. The most recent letter was delivered to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy in February and signed by 41 state attorneys general.
