Serial pedophile to be surgically castrated in American first law after raping seven-year-old girl

A serial pedophile has agreed to be castrated as part of a plea deal after he was caught trying to sexually assault a seven-year-old girl. 

Thomas Allen McCartney, 37, is classified a ‘Tier Three’ offender and is considered one of Louisiana‘s worst child predators.

McCartney has agreed to be both physically and chemically castrated as part of plea deal Tuesday in order to reduce his prison sentence – although he’ll still spend 40 years in prison, according to local station Fox 12. 

Louisiana is the first and only state to allow surgical castration to be used as a punishment for sex crimes.

The law only came into force at the beginning of the August – and his case is likely to one of the first times it’s been applied by a court.

The southern state has allowed chemical castration as a punishment for certain sex crimes since 2008. 

Louisiana judges can offer the procedure in certain extreme cases of sex abuse, with offenders who refused given an additional three to five years in jail.  

The option was presented to the Leesville resident after a mother caught him sexually abusing her daughter in February 2023, reported KPLC-TV.

Another Indian commercial driver was just charged with killing an American…

We’re sad to report that it’s happened again. Another Indian commercial truck driver has been charged in a deadly crash that killed an innocent American. This crisis of foreign truck drivers on US roads looks like it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.

This is the American man who was killed. Mr. Wilkerson was a volunteer firefighter and an EMT. Our hearts go out to his family. This was a totally preventable death.

The driver, Mr. Sarbjeet Parmar, has been charged with negligent homicide along with five other counts. He’s not only accused of killing one man but also of injuring an entire car full of people.

KTVQ:

The driver of a commercial vehicle involved in a fatal crash on Interstate 90 that claimed the life of a volunteer firefighter and EMT has been charged with negligent homicide.

According to documents filed in Yellowstone County District Court, Sarbjeet Parmar, 39 of Buckley, Wash., has also been charged with five counts of felony criminal endangerment.

He pleaded not guilty to all charges Monday afternoon. Judge David Carter ordered a $10,000 bond. Parmar must wear GPS monitoring and surrender his passport as conditions of bail.

Court records state Parmar was driving a commercial vehicle pulling a trailer on Dec. 22, 2024 when the vehicle went into the median at mile marker 431 at about 4 p.m., rolled onto its side and entered the oncoming lane of traffic.

The commercial vehicle then struck a Volkswagen passenger car and a Chevrolet Suburban. The driver of the Suburban, 56-year-old Kevin Wilkerson of Laurel, was killed. Three other occupants of the Suburban and two occupants of the Volkswagen were injured.

Trump Calls on Biden-Appointed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to Resign After FHFA Director Pulte Sends Criminal Referral to DOJ for Mortgage Fraud

President Trump called on Biden-appointed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to resign on Wednesday after  the head of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, Bill Pulte, criminally referred her to the Justice Department for mortgage fraud.

According to Pulte’s criminal referral, Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by lying on her mortgage application and falsifying bank statements when she designated her out-of-state Atlanta condo as her “primary residence”—just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home, which she also claimed as her “primary residence.”

By claiming “primary residence” on her out-of-state condo, Lisa Cook received more favorable loan terms and a lower interest rate.

On June 18, 2021, Cook acquired a loan on a property in Ann Arbor, Michigan. On the mortgage agreement, Cook represented to “use the Property as Borrower’s principal residence within 60 days after the execution of her agreement, Pulte said.

On July 2, 2021, just two weeks later, Lisa Cook also purchased a condo in Atlanta and entered a 30-year mortgage agreement and affirmed the property would serve as her primary residence within 60 days of the execution of the mortgage and would serve as her primary residence for a full year, Pulte’s referral said.

According to Pulte, while Cook affirmed her Atlanta property would serve as her primary residence, online records indicate that the property was listed for rent in September 2022.

“While the property was listed for rent in 2022, a review of Ms. Cook’s federal government financial disclosures for calendar years 2022 and 2023 indicate that she has not disclosed any rental income tied to this address,” Pulte wrote in his criminal referral.

This is textbook occupancy fraud.

Report: Illegal Trucker Behind Fatal U-Turn Failed English Language Test

The semi-truck driver, who allegedly killed three Americans while making an illegal U-turn in Florida, failed an English language proficiency test and also failed to accurately identify highway traffic signs.

In a press release from the Department of Transportation (DOT), it was revealed that officials with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) had launched an investigation into the deadly crash in Florida, which left three people dead.

During an interview with the driver, who has been identified as Harjinder Singh, investigators administered an English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment. Singh failed the assessment and only provided “correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions,” and he only accurately identified “1 of 4 highway traffic signs,” according to the press release.

“If states had followed the rules, this driver would never have been behind the wheel and three precious lives would still be with us,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement. “This crash was a preventable tragedy directly caused by reckless decisions and compounded by despicable failures. Non-enforcement and radical immigration policies have turned the trucking industry into a lawless frontier, resulting in unqualified foreign drivers improperly acquiring licenses to operate 40-ton vehicles.”

The press release also revealed that on July 15, 2023, Washington State “issued” Singh a “regular full-term Commercial Driver’s License (CDL),” and that on July 23, 2024, the driver was issued a “limited-term/non-domiciled CDL” in California.

Jeanine Pirro Launches DOJ Investigation Into Whether DC Has Been Faking Crime Data

Four weeks after a DC police commander was suspended amid accusations that he manipulated crime statistics, the Department of Justice has launched a wide-ranging investigation into whether the department has been faking data to make crime rates lower, the Washington Post reports, citing two senior law enforcement officials.

The investigation is run out of DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office following the accusation lodged against Metro PD commander Michael Pulliam, who was put on leave in May after the department began investigating whether he altered crime data. Pullman has denied the allegations. 

Pulliam’s paid administrative leave came a week after he filed an equal employment opportunity complaint against an assistant chief over accusations that the department deliberately falsified crime data. The Police union, meanwhile, claims police supervisors in the department manipulate crime data to make it appear violent crime has fallen considerably compared to last year.

The DOJ investigation, however, will go much further – and will include other police and city officials who may have also fabricated or altered crime data. 

“D. C. gave Fake Crime numbers to create a false illusion of safety,” President Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday night.

Ex-Space Force sergeant Orest Schur sentenced to 54 years in prison for fatally shooting suspected teen car thief

A former US Space Force sergeant who fired multiple rounds at two suspected carjackers outside his home, killing a 14-year-old, has been sentenced to over half a century in jail.

Orest Schur, 29, became emotional as he apologized for murdering 14-year-old Xavier Kirk before he was sentenced to 54 years in prison for the 2023 fatal shooting, the Adams and Broomfield Counties District Attorney’s Office announced.

“I am sorry for the events that occurred that night, for the pain, for the grief and trauma that have followed and for the impact that my case had on so many lives,” a tearful Schur told an Aurora, Colo., courtroom on Aug. 15.

The deadly shooting also left a 13-year-old hospitalized.

Schur, then a technical sergeant with the US Space Force based in Aurora, was awakened by a car alarm outside his apartment around 11 p.m. July 5, 2023.

The then-27-year-old grabbed a pistol and ran outside to his Hyundai Elantra, where he spotted two people dressed in all black attempting to break into the car.

Schur confronted the individuals, but the would-be carjackers fled in another car.

The sergeant gave chase in his car and fired multiple rounds at the teens.

The fleeing car crashed into the backyard fence of a home four blocks south of Schur’s residence.

Newsom’s Faulty ‘Fact Check’ on Fatal Truck Accident Falls Flat

CLAIM: Trump allowed in a migrant truck driver now charged with killing three people in an illegal U-turn.

VERDICT: FALSE. The driver, who entered illegally, obtained a work permit after being denied by Trump.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is at it again, this time trying to deflect blame for his state granting a commercial driver’s license (CDL) to Harjinder Singh, who allegedly killed three other drivers on August 12.

Breitbart News reported this weekend on the accident, which has led to charges of vehicular homicide:

The driver of a semi-truck involved in the deaths of three Americans has been identified as Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien from India who illegally entered the U.S. in 2018 across the U.S. border with Mexico.

The accident occurred near Fort Pierce, Florida, on August 12, when a northbound semi-truck allegedly crossed over all lanes as the driver tried to use an “official use only” turn opening on the Florida Turnpike so he could head south.

The abrupt crossing of all lanes gave other drivers little time to slow down, resulting in a Chrysler Town & Country slamming head-on into the trailer. All three of the car’s occupants died as a result of the collision, two at the scene and a third at a hospital, according to WPTV-TV.

…

Officials initially noted that the men in the cab of the semi were from California, and video of the drivers’ dashcam was released. A statement from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FHSMV) said Singh obtained a commercial driver’s license (CDL) in California.

Newsom began arguing with the White House, blaming Trump for admitting Singh into the U.S. and defending the policy of providing driver’s licenses to illegal migrants, saying it “improves public safety.”

Parents Face Jail Time if Kids Go Wild: NJ Township’s Bold New Crackdown

In Gloucester Township, New Jersey, a new ordinance titled “Minors and Parent Responsibility” took effect following its passage by the township council on July 28, 2025.

This measure holds parents or guardians legally accountable for offenses committed by their children under 18, aiming to address public disturbances through increased supervision.

The ordinance emerged in response to escalating juvenile incidents, reflecting broader concerns about youth behavior in the community.

The catalyst for this law was a chaotic brawl at the township’s annual community day event on June 1, 2024, during a drone light show at Veterans Park.

Around 500 unsupervised youths gathered, leading to multiple fights that required assistance from neighboring police departments and resulted in 12 arrests, including 10 juveniles aged 13 to 17.

Two officers sustained injuries, and the event, which supported the Gloucester Township Scholarship Committee for over 40 years, was disrupted, prompting the cancellation of the 2025 celebration.

Gloucester Township Police Chief David Harkins described the 2024 incident as involving unprecedented disrespect and violence from unsupervised teens, many dropped off via rideshares from outside areas.

Under the ordinance, parents face graduated consequences based on the frequency of their child’s offenses.
