JD Vance Tears Into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for Trying to Protect a Child Predator

Vice President JD Vance visited the Ohio steel plant where his own grandfather worked this week and used part of the visit to outline the accomplishments of the Trump administration, especially with regards to immigration and jobs.

At one point, Vance retold the story of a child predator who Minnesota Governor Tim Walz tried to rescue from deportation by giving him a pardon. Vance said that the Trump administration deported the man anyway, eliciting applause from the audience.

That story is a good reminder of just how crazy Democrats have become.

Partial transcript via Nick Sortor:

JD Vance just TORCHED Tim Walz for pardoning a CONVICTED RAPlST from Laos in attempt to shield him from deportation

Unfortunately for Walz, his little plan didn’t work, and DHS forcibly sent the raplst back to Laos 

“Walz asked the country what good it accomplished. ‘Did that make us any safer?’ That is a DIRECT QUOTE from the Democrat GOVERNOR of Minnesota.”

“To which I’d say, as the father of four young children: 10 year olds and everybody else can breathe a little bit easier in Minnesota.

Trans Leader in ‘764’ Satanic Cult That Grooms Children for Sexual Abuse, Torture, Terrorism and Blood Rituals Sentenced to 77 Years in Prison

A transgender member of a violent satanic death cult network was sentenced to 77 years in federal prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to sexually exploiting and terrorizing underage girls around the world and grooming them into mutilating themselves and torturing animals to death.

Kyle William Spitze, 27, pleaded guilty in late 2024 to producing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), possessing and accessing with the intent to view CSAM and helping distribute animal torture videos, but he wasn’t sentenced until Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Thomas A. Varlan. The judge sentenced him to the entirety of what the prosecution had sought.

Spitze is a leader of the “HarmNation” group, which is part of the “764” satanic accelerationist cult-like online network.

The decentralized network of mostly teen boys and young men grooms its minor victims into producing child sex abuse material of themselves, mutilating their bodies, abusing or killing animals and, in some cases, committing suicide and/or killing others. They often target victims on online gaming platforms popular with children, such as Minecraft and Roblox.

Police: NJ High School Athletic Director Identified as ‘Peeping Tom’ Who Targeted Young Girl

A high school athletic director in New Jersey has been accused of peeping into a young female neighbor’s bedroom window in the dark of night.

The suspect was identified as Winfield “Trip” Becker, who is the athletic director at Hopewell Valley Regional School District in Mercer County, ABC 6 reported Tuesday.

He was accused in an August 6 incident in Plumstead Township, Pennsylvania, after the girl’s family installed a camera to catch a person who allegedly kept knocking on her window and fleeing the scene.

School officials placed Becker on leave and prohibited him from entering school property during the investigation. Authorities charged him with loitering, prowling at night, and summary harassment, Central Bucks Now reported Saturday.

“Plumstead Township Police said officers were dispatched at about 10:41 p.m. Aug. 6, 2026 to a home on Split Log Drive for a report of an adult man looking through a bedroom window,” the outlet said. “The homeowner’s surveillance system allegedly captured the incident. Police identified Becker as a Cabin Run resident and a neighbor known to the complainant.”

Superintendent Rosetta Treece notified students’ families of the situation on Friday, noting that the case did not involve any students in her district.

“In keeping with Board of Education policy, the employee will be on a leave of absence and will not be permitted on school property pending the outcome of the investigation,” Treece added. “The employee is also entitled to a presumption of innocence pending final resolution of the charges.”

A similar instance happened recently in Alexandria, Virginia, when a man was accused of repeatedly looking through a woman’s bedroom window. The woman caught the suspect on camera and he was arrested and charged, according to ABC 7.

Second SickKids staff member charged in child sexual exploitation case in less than a month

Another employee at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children is facing serious criminal charges related to child sexual exploitation, less than a month after a physician at the same children’s hospital was arrested on similar allegations.

Antonio Alvin Dela Cruz, 55, worked on SickKids’ housekeeping team. Toronto Police say he faces five charges stemming from an online child-luring investigation, including luring a person under 18 by means of telecommunication, making sexually explicit material available to a person under 18, exposing genitalia to a person under 16, and accessing and possessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material.

According to police, the Internet Child Exploitation Unit began investigating in October 2024. Investigators allege Dela Cruz communicated with a 15-year-old through social media and phone chat applications, made inappropriate comments and sent explicit images.

Actor charged with 24 felony counts in alleged child sexual abuse case

A California actor and producer is facing 24 felony charges after investigators said he used online casting calls to contact minors as part of an alleged pattern of child sexual abuse spanning decades.

Shane Ryan Gledhill, 46, of Lompoc, was arrested Aug. 3 after Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives spent nearly five years investigating accusations of exploitation.

Gledhill, whose work involved projects connected to actors including Shelley Duvall, Tom Arnold, Richard Dreyfuss and Ed Harris, was initially booked on 15 felony charges. That total has now climbed to 24.

The investigation began in November 2021, when a 17-year-old survivor approached Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s investigators about what they described as suspicious and inappropriate conduct involving Gledhill when she was 15, according to authorities.

That initial report led to an investigation that eventually identified nine survivors, the Sheriff’s Office said. All were minors at the time of the alleged offenses.

In February 2022, investigators executed a search warrant at his residence in Lompoc. Investigators seized thousands of digital files, which underwent an extensive forensic examination.

The Sheriff’s Office said the investigation uncovered a pattern in which Gledhill allegedly used online casting calls and film-making projects to contact aspiring young actors.

Tyler Boebert, the 21-year-old son of Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, is back in legal hot water—this time facing serious felony charges related to the alleged sexual exploitation of a child.

According to court records from Garfield County, Colorado, Tyler Boebert was arrested in connection with five felony counts stemming from an alleged incident dated around January 1, 2024.

The charges include sexual exploitation of a child, sexual exploitation of a child with intent to deal in, sell, or distribute sexually exploitative material, a related charge involving videotaped material, and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the Denver Post.

He was taken into custody and released from Garfield County jail on Sunday after posting a $10,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for August 19 in Garfield County District Court. Specific details from the arrest affidavit have not been made public.

Rep. Boebert issued a brief statement to The Daily Mail, stating, “I love my son. We take these allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time.”

This is hardly Tyler Boebert’s first encounter with law enforcement.

In February 2024, he was arrested following a string of vehicle break-ins and property thefts around Rifle, Colorado. Police initially accused him of offenses involving stolen credit cards, identification documents and several juvenile accomplices.

REPORT: James Talarico Headlined a Gay Pride Event Alongside an 11 YEAR-OLD Child Drag Queen

James Talarico, the bizarre Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Texas, reportedly headlined a gay pride event in Taylor, Texas that featured an 11 year-old drag queen.

If you believe the liberal media, this person is leading in polls for this race against Republican Ken Paxton. How is that even possible?

This story is very easy to believe because Talarico is on the record in multiple instances talking about how much he cherishes trans kids.

The Washington Free Beacon has the story:

James Talarico Headlined Pride Event Alongside 11-Year-Old Child Drag Queen ‘Kween Kee Kee’: ‘Absolute Cutest and Youngest of Our Drag Performers’

James Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian running for U.S. Senate from Texas, headlined an LGBTQ festival that featured “the absolute cutest & youngest of our drag performers,” an 11-year-old boy “drag queen” who goes by the stage name Kween Kee Kee.

Taylor PRIDE, a group in the town of Taylor, Texas, held the June 26, 2021, event to raise money to help “rural LGBTQ communities.” The Pride Month festivities included a series of pro-LGBTQ speakers, live music, a “drag story hour,” and adult drag performers such as Brianna Brinxx and the provocatively named Sedonya Face.

Talarico and Kween Kee Kee, a local preteen named Keegan, were the biggest attraction for Taylor PRIDE organizers. “[Taylor PRIDE] will be hosting numerous speakers such as State Rep. James Talarico, talented musical guests such as Venus Loves Mars, the absolute cutest & youngest of our drag performers Kween Kee Kee,” the group wrote in promotional materials.

“Not only … will this amazing pre-teen be performing a number at Texas Beer Company but they will also host Kee Kee Storytime … where children will find lots of PRIDE inspired craft activities,” Taylor PRIDE wrote of Kween Kee Kee in a post publicizing the event.

You might say that Talarico is obsessed with this topic.

Court Orders Meta to Pay $567 Million Over Child Harm

A court on Thursday ordered Meta to pay $567 million into a fund over child harm.

New Mexico Judge Bryan Biedscheid compared Meta to air pollution and called it a “public nuisance.”

“Although Meta is not alone in this regard, its social media platforms are a significant contributing factor to the current mental health crisis among New Mexico’s youth established by the substantial evidence in this case,” Judge Bryan Biedscheid wrote in the ruling on Thursday, CNBC reported.

KCRA reported:

A New Mexico court has ordered Instagram and Facebook parent company Meta to pay $567 million to address harms to young people from its platforms in the second phase of a landmark trial the social media giant lost in March.

In a ruling late Thursday, Judge Bryan Biedcheid said the bulk of the money — $420 million — will be used for treatment services for young people. The rest will go toward awareness and prevention, screening services and other costs over the next five years.

In the first phase, jurors had ordered $375 million in civil penalties against Meta, determining that it knowingly harmed children’s mental health and concealed what it knew about child sexual exploitation on its platforms.

In the second phase, prosecutors had asked the judge to impose fundamental changes at Meta aimed at reining in addictive features, improving age verification and preventing child sexual exploitation through default privacy settings and closer oversight.

In March, a Los Angeles, California, jury found that Meta and YouTube were liable for a teen’s mental health and awarded her $3 million in damages.

The plaintiff, a 20-year-old woman identified as KGM or “Kaley,” said she became addicted to Meta’s app Instagram and Google’s YouTube as a child.

KGM said she developed body dysmorphia and had suicidal ideations because of her addiction to the social media platforms.

Apple Pulled Telegram From the App Store Worldwide Over a Single User Post

Apple removed Telegram from the App Store worldwide on Monday night, then restored it roughly 40 minutes later.

“We briefly removed Telegram from the App Store after our review found content that violates our strict guidelines prohibiting child sexual abuse material,” Apple said in a statement sent to several outlets. “The app was subsequently restored after the developer promptly removed the content and banned the user who posted it.”

A Telegram spokesperson said that Apple had reported one user sharing the material, and that the user was immediately banned, meaning the trigger was a single user on a platform that Telegram says has more than a billion monthly active users.

“The app was ​subsequently restored after the developer promptly removed the content and banned the user ⁠who posted it,” the spokesperson wrote.

Pulling an app from the App Store only blocks new downloads and updates. Anyone who already had Telegram installed kept messaging straight through the episode – which ran, by Reclaim The Net’s timings, from about 9:30 to about 10:10 that night, Eastern time.

The takedown was patchy while it lasted and it stayed available on the Mac App Store and on Google Play throughout.

But the brevity measures how fast Telegram moved, not the limit of what Apple can do. A removal that stood would have blocked new installs first, then reached anyone who reset or replaced a phone, and, once updates stopped coming, eventually everyone was still using the app.

Apple’s hold over what reaches an iPhone is already in federal court. The Justice Department and 16 state and district attorneys general sued the company in March 2024 for monopolizing smartphone markets. The complaint says that Apple maintains its dominance through restrictions on third-party developers, among them limits on “super apps” and the favoring of its own Messages app over third-party messaging.

A federal judge in New Jersey denied Apple’s motion to dismiss in June last year, and no trial has been scheduled. Bloomberg reported in July that Apple has made offers and entered early settlement talks with the government, and that there is no guarantee an agreement will be reached.

What happens to a developer who takes a week to remove the content, instead of 40 minutes?

Father Shoots His Daughter’s Alleged R*pist After Posing as Her on TikTok – Then He is Charged By Authorities and Given a Higher Bond than the P*dophile

A loving Ohio father who was furious over a monster sexually assaulting his daughter took a unique approach to put a stop to the abuse, but is now paying a price.

As WBNS reported on Tuesday, Diego Montoya Gonzalez was shot by a 11-year-old girl’s father last month at their Grove City home after the child’s mother discovered video footage of her being r*ped.

The day after the footage was found, the child’s father posed as his daughter on TikTok to lure Montoya Gonzalez back to their home. Then, he shot him twice.

The dad said he acted in self-defense, claiming he only wanted to ‘beat up’ Montoya Gonzalez but saw him reach for a gun first.

But the dad’s daring act to save his innocent girl comes at a legal cost: WBNS reveals that he is being charged with felonious assault. His bond was set at $100,000.

Many Americans would certainly consider this decision by the authorities outrageous, especially since he was trying to protect his child.

Like WBNS, The Gateway Pundit will not identify the father to safeguard the little girl’s privacy.
