Child sex crimes rampant in UK schools – Guardian

Thousands of sexual offenses against children under 13 have been reported at or near schools in England and Wales over the past five years, averaging nearly five cases a day, according to a Guardian analysis of police data.

At least 8,500 offenses against children aged 12 and under were recorded between 2021 and 2025, the newspaper reported on Sunday. They included almost 2,000 alleged rapes and attempted rapes – equivalent to at least one rape allegation at a school every day.

Most police reports did not specify the age of the alleged perpetrators, although The Guardian said they were likely to be fellow pupils given where the incidents occurred. In at least 1,890 cases involving under-13 victims, the alleged offender was reportedly under 18. Girls were the victims in nearly two-thirds of cases where the victim’s sex was recorded.

Police also recorded at least 9,100 sexual crimes against children aged 13 or over at or near schools, as well as 6,140 offenses involving the possession, production or distribution of sexualized images of children.

The Supreme Court Won’t Save ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ From the School Censors

Two Michigan middle-school boys wore sweatshirts bearing three words that contained no profanity: “Let’s Go Brandon.” School administrators made them take the shirts off anyway because everybody knew what the phrase meant.

Now the Supreme Court has decided not to get involved.

The justices declined Monday to hear the students’ First Amendment appeal, leaving intact a divided Sixth Circuit ruling that allowed Tri County Area Schools to treat the slogan as vulgar speech. A denial of review doesn’t mean the Supreme Court endorsed that reasoning. It does mean the two students lost their last chance to overturn it in their case.

From the Associated Press:

The school told her sons to take off the sweatshirts she bought them for Christmas in 2022.

Lower courts upheld the ban, finding the veiled vulgarity of the phrase allows schools to ban it. It functions as a stand-in for “F-— Joe Biden.”

The woman’s attorneys argued that the decision wrongly gives school officials wide latitude to squelch political speech based on their personal ideas of what is vulgar. The phrase itself doesn’t contain any swear words or sexual implications, they said.

The school district urged the justices to reject the case, arguing that messages with lewd implications have no place in school, even if they touch on political topics. There has been evidence that some students wore clothing that read “Make America Great Again” or had messages supporting President Donald Trump, a Republican who lost the 2020 election to Biden, a Democrat.

Trump’s Big Bluff on Iran

The Trump administration and its supporters – including the Wall Street Journal editorial page – are working overtime these days to spin the news around the Iran war to make it appear that the US is winning and Tehran had better submit to Washington’s demands before it is wrecked, maybe even “annihilated.” Indeed, Trump is preparing the option of bringing the military hammer down on Iran after the midterm elections if Tehran has not surrendered by then.

In effect, Trump and his supporters are waging a “maximum pressure campaign” against Iran in the mainstream media.

This campaign is sure to fail. If anything, it reflects the Trump administration’s desperation. The president started a war the United States was bound to lose, and there is little he can do now to change that basic fact.

Trump’s propaganda campaign has two dimensions – one economic and the other military.

First, the administration argues that Iran is being economically strangled by the US naval blockade coupled with Operation Economic Outcast, the strategy announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on 24 August 2026. At the same time, it maintains that oil is once again flowing out of the Gulf at rates not far below those that prevailed on 27 February 2026. The implications are obvious: the economic punishment being inflicted on Iran will force it to capitulate soon, while the US economy – and the international community more generally – is well on its way to recovery.

Second, the US is now building up its military forces for a massive military strike after the mid-term elections, when Trump will be free of electoral constraints. This growing threat of a devastating US attack, coupled with the economic pain being inflicted on Iran, is designed to get Tehran to quit now, before its situation becomes even worse.

There are huge problems with this strategy. It sounds persuasive when the mainstream media dutifully purveys it, but it falls apart when one looks closely at what is actually happening.

Consider the military dimension. The headlines say the US is sending 10,000 additional troops and a third aircraft carrier – the USS Theodore Roosevelt – to the Persian Gulf region, creating the impression that Iran will soon be confronting three American carriers. Moreover, the additional troops – on top of the roughly 50,000 US troops already in the region – are portrayed as evidence that Trump is seriously considering putting boots on the ground.

The aircraft carrier story, however, is quite different from what the headlines suggest. The Roosevelt is reportedly being sent to replace the USS George Washington, while the supposed third carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush, has already left the Middle East and is now in Thailand. Thus, there is presently only one carrier in the region. Indeed, this is the first time during the war that the US has only one carrier in the Middle East, and it is difficult to imagine that there will be more than two – if even that many – after the midterm elections.

The larger problem is that the Iran war is severely straining the US Navy. Its senior leaders warn that the current operational tempo is not sustainable indefinitely. Carriers and other warships are being rotated through extremely long deployments, which cause significant maintenance and readiness problems that will have to be addressed at some point. This problem is compounded by the fact that US ships have lost access to nearby logistics facilities and increasingly depend on a supply chain that reaches back to Diego Garcia, which is about 2,500 miles from the Persian Gulf.

El-Sayed’s Sister-in-Law Was on the Terror Watchlist in 2016

The string of terrorist affiliates related to Michigan Senate Democrat candidate Abdul El-Sayed just goes on and on.

Video went viral on Monday showing El-Sayed claiming dual citizenship in Egypt and reminiscing about his summers in that Islamic, sharia-compliant country. That helps illuminate why he and so many of his relatives are directly connected to literal Islamic terrorist groups. El-Sayed might claim that he prefers a country with less dictatorship than Egypt now, but all of his associates and defense of jihadis indicate that he’s lying. No matter how much he might enjoy the benefits of American capitalism and republicanism, he is trying to import sharia here.

The latest revelations are not about El-Sayed’s immediate family, but about his sister-in-law. Previous reports have already linked his mother and his father-in-law to jihad groups. Now The Federalist has unearthed documentation about Sarah Jukaku, sister to El-Sayed’s wife. Apparently the Obama administration put Jukaku on the terrorist watchlist, which is particularly ironic since Barack Obama is set to campaign with El-Sayed this month.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a front group for genocidal terrorist group Hamas, brought two different lawsuits that involved Jukaku.

Agenda of Seattle’s Socialist Mayor Crashes Into the Reality of Crime and Homelessness

Seattle’s new socialist Mayor Katie Wilson entered office with a grand, left wing agenda, but it is stalling out because of a little thing called reality.

It turns out that creating a progressive utopia takes a back seat to dealing with the very real problems of crime and homelessness, and Seattle has plenty of those things.

Maybe the city should have elected someone with a little more real job experience.

FOX News reports:

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson’s socialist agenda stalls amid homelessness and public safety concerns

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, a democratic socialist, has run into major roadblocks while trying to enact her agenda in the city as she grapples with public safety concerns and homelessness.

Wilson campaigned on adding 1,000 homeless shelter units in each year of her term, despite concerns from some advisors about the feasibility of the goal, according to The Wall Street Journal. However, her administration’s current plan calls for adding nearly 1,000 shelter beds by the end of 2027, the Journal reported.

The mayor told The Seattle Times in September that her original goal was a way to get people talking about the crisis…

Wilson surprised her supporters with a proposed budget released in September that included no new taxes and more funding for police, the Journal reported.

“I have made the difficult decision to transmit a budget without major new revenue,” Wilson said in a speech in September, according to KOMO News. “Right now, we don’t have good options to raise more progressive revenue that don’t also come with great risks. Our economy and especially our downtown are fragile. In that context, raising additional revenue through JumpStart is not the right move.”

Welcome to the real world, Madam Mayor.

Federal Survey Of 21,990 Kids Ties COVID Shots To AUTISM, ADHD

A new analysis of the federal National Health Interview Survey finds children who received a COVID-19 shot had higher odds of autism, ADHD, anxiety, asthma and special-education use than children who did not. 

The authors, including epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher and cardiologist Peter McCullough, say the pattern survived a long list of statistical controls and rose with dose count. 

Their conclusion is blunt: COVID-19 vaccination of children should cease immediately.

The paper, posted October 5 on the Zenodo repository, pools the 2022–2024 Sample Child files. It covers 21,990 children aged 0–17 with a recorded COVID vaccination status, and 19,882 aged 2–17 for the autism, ADHD and learning-disability items. 

“Unvaccinated” in this comparison means no COVID-19 vaccine. It does not mean the child skipped the routine schedule.

Set against children who never received a COVID shot, COVID-vaccinated children had:

  • 32 percent higher odds of current autism
  • 26 percent higher odds of a lifetime autism diagnosis
  • 33 percent higher odds of ADHD
  • 23 percent higher odds of any neurodevelopmental diagnosis
  • 19 percent higher odds of special-education use
  • 24 percent higher odds of asthma
  • 27 percent higher odds of daily or weekly anxiety
  • 57 percent higher odds of mental-health medication
  • 60 percent higher odds of mental-health therapy

The steepest autism estimate landed where parents were told the product was a routine precaution. Among children aged 5 to 7, three or more COVID shots were linked to 154 percent higher odds of current autism. Ages 2 to 7 with three or more doses sat at 137 percent higher odds.

The odds also climbed with the number of shots. Against children who received none, current-autism odds were 3 percent higher after one dose, 25 percent higher after two, and 40 percent higher after three or more.

Hulscher told The Gateway Pundit the association “persisted across numerous adjustment strategies, strengthened with increasing dose count, and reached its largest estimate in some of the youngest multiply vaccinated children.” 

He added: “This is a safety signal that must not be ignored. Endangering the developing brain is a red line. COVID-19 ‘vaccination’ of children should cease immediately.”

FAFO: Students at UC-Berkeley Facing Deportation After Celebrations of Charlie Kirk’s Death Sparked Interest of State Department

Some students at UC-Berkeley are now facing the possibility of deportation after the State Department took interest in some celebrations of the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

OOPS.

This kind of disgusting behavior has been documented at more than one college or university. It’s not enough for the left that Charlie Kirk was killed, they feel the need to keep kicking his dead body as well.

The College Fix reports:

Event at UC Berkeley mocking Charlie Kirk memorial draws scrutiny from State Department

A group of UC Berkeley students who celebrated the anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death have caught the attention of U.S. State Department officials.

Spokesman Tommy Pigott told The College Fix in a statement via email that “people in the United States on visas are guests in this country, and we will not tolerate people here on visas who break our laws, support terrorism, or unlawfully incite violence, which ultimately led to the horrific assassination of an American.”

“That is not only common sense, it’s an essential component of our national security. If that wasn’t the policy under the previous administration, it should’ve been, and it is now under the Trump administration,” Pigott said.

At issue is a Sept. 10 event on the one year-anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death. Initially, members of Turning Point USA, the conservative campus group founded by Kirk, gathered to solemnly mark his death.

They had a large portrait of Kirk along with posters about “freedom and American patriotism,” according to the Daily Californian student newspaper.

At the event, John Paul Leon, president of TPUSA at UC Berkeley, reportedly said: “You don’t have to agree with everything he said, but when you support the literal political violence and action against this man, that is an act of moral depravity.”

Ottawa’s $742-million gun grab falls flat as just 41% of targeted firearms declared

Owners declared just 68,793 of an estimated 166,555 individually held firearms targeted by Ottawa’s prohibition and compensation program, roughly 41%, according to a government response tabled in Parliament.

Declarations do not equal surrenders. 

Blacklock’s Reporter reported the figures were provided in response to questions from Conservative MP Bob Zimmer about participation in the Assault Style Firearms Compensation Program.

Yet the government has acknowledged that the phrase used to brand its program has no legal definition.

“There is no legal definition of an assault-style firearm,” Public Safety Canada stated in its response to order paper question Q-1375. Instead, firearms are legally classified under criteria in the Criminal Code.

The participation figures reflect declarations of intent, rather than confirmed collections or destruction. Of the declared firearms, 67,512 were designated for destruction and compensation, while 1,281 were slated for deactivation with a payment toward the expense.

Including business inventories, Ottawa estimated approximately 180,000 firearms were affected before the program began.

The $742 million “buyback” follows federal prohibitions introduced in 2020. Those regulations face a Supreme Court challenge brought by the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights and other applicants.

The Supreme Court agreed to hear the challenge on March 19. The amnesty has been extended pending judgment, pushing the collection timetable into 2027 at the earliest.

Ottawa’s own research has also documented resistance. 

A 2023 Public Safety study found firearm owners questioned the program’s cost and effectiveness because it did not target illegal gun smuggling and sales.

The result: hundreds of millions budgeted, repeated delays and declarations covering fewer than half the estimated individually held firearms, under a program branded with a term Ottawa admits has no legal definition.

US Official Threatens: We Can Overthrow ‘Any Country We Want’

The US ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, threatened to overthrow the government in Athens if it didn’t follow orders from Washington.

Referring to the contemporary collapse of Romania’s government, Guilfoyle told a Greek minister, “We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here”.

The US ambassador reportedly said this at a dinner in Athens this March, which was attended by multiple US and Greek officials, according to the Washington Post.

Guilfoyle’s remarks recalled a notorious comment from the world’s richest oligarch, Elon Musk.

In 2019, the US government backed a coup against Bolivia’s democratically elected socialist president, Evo Morales.

Musk strongly supported the putsch. On Twitter, a critic responded to the oligarch and accused the US government of “organizing a coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia so you could obtain the lithium there”.

Musk replied, “We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it”.

AG Todd Blanche Releases Explosive Report Exposing Merrick Garland’s Weaponization of Government Against School Parents and Efforts to Label Them ‘Domestic Terrorists’ and Arrest Them!

Attorney General Todd Blanche released an explosive report on Monday exposing former AG Merrick Garland’s weaponization against parents of school children.

The title itself should send a chill down your spine. This is something straight out of the Marxist handbook!

AG Todd Blanche wrote on X:

Todd Blanche:  Five years ago, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued an infamous memorandum at the urging of the National School Boards Association and White House officials, directing the FBI and United States Attorneys to consider looking for a federal hook to prosecute parents exercising their right to free speech.

Today, we are releasing the “Report to Expose the Weaponization of Government Against Parents in Schools” which details Weaponization of the Department against these parents — from attempting to get the National Security Division involved to ignoring repeated warnings from employees that leadership’s actions could be unconstitutional.

Along with the report, we’ve released hundreds of exhibits and emails that make official and verify what many Americans had guessed: the Garland DOJ worked hand in hand with WH officials and the National School Boards Association to chill free speech and parental rights while they threatened to prosecute parents and label them domestic terrorists. 

Here is a copy of the report, titled: The 2026 Report to Expose the Weaponization of Government Against Parents in Schools

The report is 273 pages long including 250 pages of exhibits and emails that confirm Attorney General Merrick Garland worked with the Biden White House to chill free speech and parents rights.
