Tennessee Funeral Directors Association Confirms White Fibrous Clots Are Real and Prevalent

Former USAF Major Tom Haviland joins me to discuss his presentation at the 2025 Tennessee Funeral Directors Association (TFDA) Convention—marking the first time a U.S. state funeral directors association has publicly acknowledged that white fibrous clots are real, prevalent, and ongoing.

Invited by TFDA President Taylor Moore, Haviland conducted an in-person survey with 28 embalmers and funeral directors during the convention in Franklin, TN:

  • 64% reported seeing white fibrous clots in corpses during the first half of 2025
  • The white clots appeared in an average of 17% of all corpses
  • 70% reported signs of micro-clotting (“coffee grounds” or “dirty blood”)
  • 39% of embalmers observed an increase in infant deaths, with an average 14% rise over pre-2020 levels

These results were not only documented on paper but confirmed on video, as multiple embalmers raised their hands during Haviland’s presentation to verify that they had personally observed the white fibrous clots. Many stated they had never seen such clots before the COVID-19 era.

Former KPD officer gets 25-year prison sentence in pay-for-porn child materials case

Noting what he did was “appalling,” a federal judge Thursday sentenced a former Knoxville police officer to 25 years in prison for conspiring to get and receiving more than 40 sexually explicit images of a child starting when she was 6 years old.

Dan Roark, 48, will be 73 when he gets out of prison. After that, he faces the rest of his life on supervised released.

U.S. District Court Judge Katherine A. Crytzer accepted a specific sentencing agreement reached by defense attorneys and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Kolman that called for a punishment range of 262 months to 300 months.

Crytzer chose the top of the range, which amounts to 25 years. Roark cried quietly at one point during the sentencing hearing and declined a chance to speak on his own behalf.

He is represented by Gregory P. Isaacs and Ashlee Mathis of the Isaacs Law Firm.

Roark is seeking imprisonment at a federal facility in Kentucky.

Starting in 2019, Roark received explicit images of the Virginia child from her mother. Roark paid for images, the investigation showed.

Crytzer noted the investigation showed he got at least 41 pornographic images.

Roark, a KPD officer 16 years, disguised his identity to the mother, altering his name and claiming falsely that he was a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer, Kolman said.

To the child, he was “Daddy Dan,” Kolman said. He also listed a fake address in Knoxville from which he sent money to the mother in Virginia.

KPD fired Roark in 2023 after learning of the accusations against him.

Tennessee university hit with civil rights complaint over 17 race-based scholarships

Middle Tennessee State University is facing a federal civil rights complaint alleging it offers 17 scholarships that “discriminate based on race, color, and/or national origin.”

One example cited in the complaint is the Whitney Stegall scholarship, which states, “Preference will be given to students who are African-American or Native- American.”

“Racial and ethnic discrimination are wrong and unlawful no matter which race or ethnicity is targeted or benefits,” William Jacobson, founder of the Equal Protection Project, told The College Fix.

“All applicants are entitled to equal treatment without regard to race, color, or national origin,” the Cornell University law professor said in a recent interview.

The Equal Protection Project, which is part of the Legal Insurrection Foundation, filed the complaint earlier this month. EPP’s mission is to pursue “fair treatment of all persons without regard to race or ethnicity.”

When contacted by The Fix about the complaint, the university media relations office declined to comment.

Are Police In Memphis Overcharging Drivers Caught With Small Amounts Of Marijuana?

Memphis simmered in the July heat as a police cruiser pulled over a blue Nissan Altima motoring through the downtown business district. The car’s temporary tag had expired days earlier, an oversight police often resolve by issuing a citation.

But this traffic stop took a more serious turn when a Memphis Police Department (MPD) officer said he “could smell an odor consistent with marijuana coming out of the vehicle.’’

After questioning a female passenger, police found slightly more than a half-ounce of marijuana in her purse—a small but critical amount that led officers to arrest the family-focused grandmother on a felony drug-trafficking charge.

As a special task force begins reviewing U.S. Justice Department claims of abuse by MPD during traffic stops, reform advocates say the woman’s arrest is yet another example of overly aggressive policing in Memphis.

“It’s absolutely a trumped-up charge,” said Claiborne Ferguson, a longtime Memphis defense attorney who reviewed the July 2, 2024, police affidavit filed against the woman. He has no official connection to the case.

The woman, a cancer victim, said she is no drug dealer and doesn’t even smoke that much.

“It was crazy,” said the woman, who asked not to be identified. Although the charge against her was later dropped, she said she fears any association with a criminal charge. “I’m a real-life good person. I treat everyone with respect,” she said.

The incident is one of 13 traffic-stop cases identified by the Institute for Public Service Reporting (IPSR) in which Shelby County law enforcement officers signed felony marijuana affidavits, only to see those charges vacated in court. Attorneys who reviewed the affidavits for The Institute said they appeared deficient in supporting felony charges of intent to sell.

The charges—which often involved warrantless searches of vehicles—led arrestees to spend several hours or more in jail.

Kash drops trans school shooter’s manifesto—now we know why they buried it…

There’s no shortage of unsolved mysteries when it comes to our seedy government and intel agencies. The Epstein files are the big one—still locked up tight, and who knows if we’ll ever get the truth, right? But beyond the obvious coverups, there have been plenty of smaller ones, the kind the fake news media and the Left quietly sweep under the rug hoping nobody notices. One of those is the mass shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, carried out by a violent, mentally ill trans shooter. Right after the attack, many called it a hate crime against Christians—but the media downplayed it, local officials brushed it off, and the White House even tried to spin the shooter as the real victim.

The media and the Left controlled the narrative by doing what they do best—hiding the truth and literally burying the manifesto.

No more…

Now, thanks to our new FBI Director Kash Patel, we’re finally getting a look at what they tried so hard to bury. Kash just released over 1,000 pages of the trans school shooter’s writings to Megyn Kelly and Congress—and what’s inside is absolutely bone-chilling.

Psychiatric Abuse & Experimentation with Cocktail of Psych Drugs Fueled TN Covenant School Massacre

Just believe us. Nobody but the shooter is responsible. Informed consent means nothing in Tennessee, and the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department (NMPD) takes its orders from the parents of the shooter.

That is what the public is left with from the final report on the March 27, 2023, Covenant Presbyterian Church and School shooting.

Frankly, the two years in the making NMPD report appears to be a pathetic and insulting attempt to cover up the true reason behind the deadly attack.

After reading the 48-page report on Audrey Hale’s murderous assault on the school it is impossible to believe that the NMPD was unable to obtain mental health evidence because “Hale’s parents no longer had confidence in the ability of the NMPD to safeguard this information.”

Apparently, Hale’s parents only gave up the mental health records to the NMDP on the strict condition that the NMDP keep the records confidential and never make them public.

Really? Six innocent people are dead, and the parents of the killer are dictating to law enforcement what evidence will and will not be made available? How does that work? Seriously. When did the parents of killers become the arbiters of evidence?

Trans Covenant School shooter referred to Columbine killers, herself as ‘gods,’ stated wish to ‘kill all the white kids’: report

Journalist Megyn Kelly revealed on Monday that she had obtained over 1,000 pages of writings left behind by Nashville Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale, with the never-before-published pages providing “clear insight into the depraved mind of a killer.”

On her morning show, Kelly read out portions of the writing, including a passage written in the one of the final pages before the attack that stated, “I have to kill so I can be remembered in the most horrific way possible that no one will ever forget,” with Hale signing off under the name Aiden, Hale’s preferred male name. 

Kelly said the pages, which her team reviewed over the weekend, “detail a deeply disturbed individual planning meticulously over years to carry out a mass shooting and then kill herself. The killer discusses her autism diagnosis, race, and her desire for ‘black love’ and acceptance, as well as her hatred of her own whiteness.”

Many pages had content that was “sexual in nature,” including “frustration with her virginity,” and also included information about Hale’s guns and training with firearms, as well as references to other school shootings.

Kelly said that Hale referred to the Columbine school shooters as “gods,” and the words “dark abyss” frequently pop up in the writings, either directly in the writings or in the margins, alongside “an image resembling a radioactive symbol, the logo created by the killer to represent her all-consuming depression and commitment to gaining notoriety via a mass shooting.”

In one entry dated April 12, 2022, titled “let kids choose their sex,” Hale wrote, “I only wore some nice girl clothes as a cover-up from the truth, which I denied myself all these years. And I hated all of it. It was miserable being raised a girl because I had no choice. There was lack of education, research, and medicine to help society or parents better understand transgender.”

The entry continued, “I didn’t know trans existed. I thought you could only be gay or bi and that’s the fate you had. But transgender is transcending way deeper to the core. There is still medicine to be approved by the FDA, and so little research has been done. If I had puberty blockers back then, I would have transitioned a long time ago, but I didn’t know you could possibly change your sex.”

Nashville Police Final Report: Trans Shooter Audrey Hale ‘Spent Years’ Planning Attack

After an extended waiting period, Nashville police have published their final report on the Covenant School massacre—a deliberate attack in March 2023 on a Christian school by a transgender assailant, resulting in the tragic deaths of three third-grade students and three adult staff members.

The report revealed that the now-deceased shooter, Audrey Hale, 28, a biological woman who identified as a transgender man, going by “he/him” pronouns, had multiple notebooks, art sketchbooks, and computer documents that detailed the future attack plans.

Police noted that Hale had hoped to gain publicity from the tragic shooting, and they also stated that she was clearly inspired by the Columbine school shooting in 1999, as evidenced by her writings.

According to investigators, while she was still alive and in the early stages of planning the attack, Hale had been “fantasizing” about and researching mass shootings since 2017.

A year later, she wrote “detailed fantasies” about shooting up the Isaac T. Creswell Middle Magnet School for the Arts. She also wrote about murdering her father and her psychiatrist.

Additionally, investigators are now seemingly claiming that the previously released manifesto pages, obtained by Steven Crowder, the host of the “Louder with Crowder” podcast, as well as pages that were obtained by the Tennessee Star outlet — were fake.

“Facebook is now censoring the Nashville Manifesto,” Crowder posted in November 2023, and he included a screenshot of a warning he received after attempting to post the content online.

Nevertheless, the authorities’ explanation of their most recent Audrey Hale investigation update continued.

“In this case, a manifesto didn’t exist,” the document claims. “Hale never left behind a single document explaining why she committed the attack, why she specifically targeted The Covenant, and what she hoped to gain, if anything, with the attack.”

However, in June 2024, pages of Hale’s alleged manifesto writings were reported as being obtained by The Tennessee Star outlet. They cited an anonymous source familiar with the investigation.

Unhinged Tennessee Democrat Lunges at GOP Colleague After Gun Control Bill Fails

Chaos erupted in a Tennessee House Criminal Justice Subcommittee meeting Wednesday when far-left State Representative Justin J. Pearson (D-Memphis) lunged at a Republican colleague in a fit of rage, hurling insults and pointing fingers—literally—after his anti-gun bill went down in flames.

The showdown started when Pearson pushed his latest gun-grabbing scheme, HB 1392, a bill that would’ve gutted Tennessee’s permitless carry law—a hard-won victory for Second Amendment patriots.

Under current law, law-abiding Tennesseans can carry firearms without jumping through bureaucratic hoops, a right Pearson wanted to strip away.

Thankfully, the committee saw through the nonsense and crushed the bill in a 7-2 vote, according to NBC39.

“We have a responsibility to protect our kids and our communities,” Pearson whined from the podium, trotting out tired liberal talking points about “gun violence.” But when State Representative Andrew Farmer (R-Sevierville) dared to call him out, all hell broke loose.

Farmer said, “I know every member in this committee has been here this year, working, during committee, during session, voting on bills. And I know that you may have some things going on, but you have not. So, I don’t think it’s fair for you to come here before this committee and lecture us on hard work and convictions and hard work for our committee.

Farmer continued, “So, while I understand where you’re at and what you’re doing and why, but at the end of the day, we’ve been here working. We’ve been on the House floor voting on bills. We’ve taken the tough questions. We’ve taken the tough votes, and we’re doing so. So I just don’t think it’s fair for you to come in here and lecture this committee on hard work when we’ve been up here doing the hard work.”

That’s when Pearson lost it. Pearson said that Farmer’s remarks made him “very, very angry.” The Memphis Democrat then explained that he had been absent because his brother died by suicide last December.

Slimy congressman is hit by multiple shocking scandals including one that involving a stillborn baby

A scandal-prone Tennessee lawmaker is facing fresh scrutiny over his campaign finances years after he fundraised $25,000 for a playground in memory of his stillborn baby that was never built.

Congressman Andy Ogles raised the cash to create a tribute to his late son Lincoln which could be used by other bereaved parents shortly after the baby’s death in 2014.

But more than a decade on and the garden has yet to materialize at the proposed spot at at Mount Hope Cemetery in Franklin.

Ogles insisted he has not spent the cash and blamed ‘government bureaucracy’ for the lack of progress when approached by the the Tennessean the year after his fundraiser launched.

Now the Maury County Republican is facing renewed questions over his campaign spending after News Channel 5 uncovered evidence he has been misrepresenting payments to various companies.

Among the findings, were tens of thousands of dollars of spending which was attributed to companies providing different services to those claimed by Ogles, the outlet reports. 

Ogles, who lives in a $1 million mansion on eight acres of land, reported a $14,000 expenditure with JL Tech Sales for 2022 and 2024 ostensibly for ‘office supplies, internet and TV services’.

However, when News Channel 5 investigated they found that the Virginia address Ogles listed for the business belonged to USA Custom Solutions, according to a man who told their reporter he works there.
