Texas megachurch founder Robert Morris pleads guilty to child sex crimes

Texas megachurch founder Robert Morris pleaded guilty in an Oklahoma court on Oct. 2 to sex crimes against a girl that started in 1982 and continued for years.

Morris, 64, entered guilty pleas to five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts to a child in an Osage County courtroom. He will serve six months in the Osage County jail and then be on probation for nine years and six months, according to a plea agreement outlined by Oklahoma Attorney General Getner Drummond in a news release.

He also must register as a sex offender and pay $270,000 in restitution to the victim, Cindy Clemishire, who in court called him “a pedophile, disguised as a preacher.” Morris did not apologize in court.Robert Morris’ indictment: Here’s a timeline of the events

Osage County Special Judge Cindy Pickerill accepted the deal after Clemshire acknowledged she had been consulted about it and was in agreement with the punishment.

The probation is considered a suspended sentence under the plea agreement, which means Morris is now a convicted felon. He could go to prison if he violates the conditions of his probation.

“This case is all the more despicable because the perpetrator was a pastor who exploited his position of trust and authority,” Drummond said in the news release. “The victim in this case has waited far too many years for this day.”

Mystery deepens over aide who set herself on fire as congressman cancels events and police withhold records

After one of his staffers died from dousing herself with gasoline and catching fire, a Texas Congressman has canceled all media events – seemingly to avoid questions about her death. 

Regina Santos-Aviles, 35, poured gasoline on herself before she became engulfed in flames at her home on September 13 in Uvalde, Texas – about two hours outside of San Antonio. 

The married mother of one, who was separated from her husband according to the San Antonio Express News, had worked for Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales as regional district director since 2021.

‘The last thing she said is, “I don’t want to die,”‘ Aviles’ mother Nora Gonzales told the Express News. 

She was airlifted to San Antonio, where she died at the hospital the next day.

Investigators have yet to determine her cause of death, with the medical examiner telling Daily Mail Thursday that the autopsy results are still pending.

However, Uvalde police believe she was alone in her backyard when she started to burn, according to the Express News, who reported her death as a self-immolation. 

Days after her death, the media was disinvited to an event where Gonzales would be face-to-face with reporters. 

Gonzales had been scheduled to visit Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio for the opening of a new research facility September 22.

Texas Congressional Staffer ‘Doused Herself in Gasoline’ and Lit Herself on Fire

According to a new report, the Texas GOP congressional staffer who died earlier this month after she caught on fire in her home doused herself in gasoline and set her body on fire.

After reviewing surveillance video, authorities determined Regina Santos-Aviles was in her backyard alone when she caught fire on September 13.

Santos-Aviles was alive when first responders arrived at her home late in the evening on September 13; however, she passed away the next morning.

Firefighters also had to put out burning gas cans, according to the report obtained by Uvalde Leader-News.

Texas officials did not disclose whether Santos-Aviles deliberately set herself on fire; however, her family insists it was an accident.

“Her last words were, ‘I don’t want to die,’” a family member previously told KSAT.

The 35-year-old worked for US Rep. Tony Gonzales as a congressional staffer.

The official cause of death is still pending.

Anson man arrested for threatening Pride parade to ‘send a clear message’

A man from Anson was arrested by the Abilene Police Department for threatening to shoot participants in the Abilene Pride parade for “taking out Charlie Kirk.“

Court documents state Joshua Cole posted the threats on a Facebook post regarding the Abilene Pride Parade & Festival.

“I say we lock and load and pay them back for taking out Charlie Kirk.” the comment said in part. In the next comment, Cole adds “theres only like 30 of em we can send a clear message to the rest of them.”

Abilene police were made aware of the threats on Sept. 18 and federal agents attempted to speak to Cole the following day.

The FBI agent visited his workplace and was told by Cole’s boss that he just quit and angrily stormed out of the building. Cole’s coworkers described him as a “hot head.”

Court documents state his comments were true threats because they were specific and not conditional.

The threats were also specific to a particular set of victims: people participating in the gay pride parade tomorrow. With this level of specificity, [Cole’s] comments were not mere idle of careless talk, exaggeration, or something said in only a joking manner.

Cole was eventually detained following a traffic stop Sept. 19, just one day before the Pride parade.

Sixth body found in Houston bayou leaving Texas city on edge

Fears that a serial killer is on the loose in Houston were raised after a sixth body was pulled from a bayou in a little over a week. 

A staggering 15 bodies have been found in the Buffalo Bayou throughout this year, five of which were discovered in the last 10 days in the Texas city. 

The sixth body was found Thursday night near the University of Houston, when several people riding scooters reported seeing the body floating under a bridge. 

The corpse has not been identified, but the Houston Police Department confirmed that the body was determined to be female. 

Lieutenant A. Khan told Fox26Houston that an investigation into the death is still ongoing, and said it is unclear how the woman ended up in the water. 

Khan also noted that there are several homeless encampments in the area near to where the body was found which is prone to flooding, and said homeless people near the water often end up in bayous when they pass away. 

The chilling discoveries sparked a social media frenzy as locals feared a serial killer may be at large, but Texas authorities have attempted to downplay the repeat instances. 

Officials have not yet identified all those found in recent days, but named Jade ‘Sage’ McKissic, 20, as one of the bodies found in the bayou in the last week.

Photo Released of 29-Year-Old Dallas ICE Shooter — Agents Ransack His Bedroom and Uncover Handwritten “Terror Notes” Plotting to Kill ICE Employees

The Biden regime and its media allies love to cry “domestic terrorism” when it comes to parents at school board meetings or conservative Americans peacefully protesting at the Capitol.

But when the threat is directed at law enforcement heroes on the front lines of immigration enforcement, the very men and women who risk their lives to protect our borders, silence reigns.

Federal authorities have now confirmed that the 29-year-old man who opened fire on a Dallas ICE facility was not some random “lone wolf” but a premeditated domestic terrorist who left behind chilling handwritten terror notes, explicitly plotting to murder ICE agents and spread fear among federal employees tasked with enforcing immigration law.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Patel has released several new pieces of evidence that blow up this ridiculous claim. Included in the evidence is a chilling note written by Jahn, which says, “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?”

@FBIDallas and FBI HQ have been working 24/7 to seize devices, exploit data, and process writings obtained on location and in the subject’s person/residence/bedroom. This @FBI is committed to providing timely updates, as promised:

– The perp downloaded a document titled “Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management” containing a list of DHS facilities.
– He conducted multiple searches of ballistics and the “Charlie Kirk Shot Video” between 9/23-9/24.
-Between 8/19-8/24, he searched apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents.
– One of the handwritten notes recovered read, “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?”
– Further accumulated evidence to this point indicates a high degree of pre-attack planning.

The FBI will provide further updates when able.

At a Thursday news conference, Dallas FBI Special Agent in Charge Joseph Rothrock revealed what investigators uncovered after agents tore through the Oklahoma home of shooter Joshua Jahn.

Jihad in Texas? Bullets Rain Down on Kids’ Baseball Tournament

A kids’ baseball coach was leading his team in a pre-game prayer when bullets flew across the Ameripark sports complex, locally known as The Rac, in Katy, Texas.

Players ran as the shots rang out. The team’s coach took a bullet to the shoulder. He was evacuated to a hospital by helicopter.

“I have to legit bear crawl to my mom on my arms,” Colton Bierman, 11, told a reporter for KPRC.  

That’s when things got wonky.

I first read NBC’s version of this story, and I immediately smelled a sink badger in the perfume aisle.  

The Operation Mockingbird mouthpiece suggested, with help from The Rac, that the shooting was possibly the result of “hunting” or “recreational shooting.” ABC claimed the Waller County Sheriff attributed the shooting to “target practice,” but when you watch the video — and hear the number of shots fired — these excuses fall apart.

The Rac suggested on Facebook that the shooters were engaging in a little “target practice” roughly 600-700 yards away.

Call me a wackydoodle, but that doesn’t sound like hunting. Nor does it sound like the shooters are 600-700 yards away.

“There was bullets flying everywhere. It wasn’t one shot,” Assistant Coach (for a different team) Corbin Geisendorff stated. “There’s bullets flying everywhere off the poles, onto the field. It’s just unbelievable.”

“I actually went over to the gentleman and saw him, like, right there. I prayed over him,” Geisendorff continued. “There was a gentleman who was already there. They used a belt to tourniquet his arm, you know, stop the bleeding really quick.”

FBI Releases Photo Showing Anti-ICE Messages on Bullet Casings Engraved by Dallas ICE Shooter Identified as 29-Year-Old Joshua Jahn

The radical left strikes again.

Two people are dead, including the shooter, in a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility as an act of targeted violence, the FBI said on Wednesday.

Among the deceased are two detainees, and a third is in critical condition.

The shooter, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Joshua Jahn fired at the ICE building from a nearby rooftop and ended up killing two detainees.

No ICE agents were injured.

The Daily Mail reported:

A sniper who killed at least two migrants and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The bloodbath unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself.

Multiple law enforcement sources confirmed the identity of the gunman as Jahn, and ICE said in a statement that the sniper ‘fired indiscriminately’.

The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting.

Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that bullets found by the shooter’s body were engraved with ‘anti-ICE messages’, and FBI Director Kash Patel shared an image of the bullets reading: ‘Anti-ICE.’

The FBI confirmed the shooting was an act of targeted violence.

Dallas Teacher Rearrested on TERRORISM Charge After July 4th Shooting at ICE Facility

A Dallas teacher previously accused of tampering with evidence tied to a July 4 attack outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado has been rearrested, this time with an additional terrorism-related charge. 

Court and jail records indicate that his bond conditions, including internet monitoring, were a key factor in his return to custody.

The suspect, 32-year-old Dario Sanchez, was first arrested on July 15 after allegedly deleting messages on Signal and Discord that investigators say were linked to group chats planning an “operation” at the detention center. 

His initial bond was set at $5 million but was later reduced to $150,000. Sanchez was indicted on August 28, released on bond the following day, and publicly claimed he was “wrongfully arrested.”

On Monday, he was rearrested for the same tampering charge, this time with a $1 million bond and an additional allegation of hindering the prosecution of terrorism. 

Court documents show the escalation was tied to his internet search history, which was monitored under his bond conditions.

The filings state that Sanchez conducted searches “best characterized as explosive construction internet queries.” 

Examples include how to melt plastic to make molds, how to modify radio-controlled transmitters, and whether Nintendo Game Boy batteries could serve as power sources for triggering devices. 

One search specifically asked whether a 900 mAh Game Boy battery could be used in a trigger system. Another focused on whether “aluminite” could be used in explosives.

When questioned about the searches by his bond officer, Sanchez claimed he was experimenting with hobbies, including building anime figure molds, tinkering with plastic model cars, and replacing a battery in his old Game Boy. 

His attorney, Frank Sellers, argued that prosecutors were criminalizing normal behavior. “He’s stuck at home trying to find a hobby, something to tinker with,” Sellers told KERA News. 

“And instead of allowing a person to live their lives, Johnson County has thrown him in jail for what George Orwell would call ‘thought crime.’”

Court records show that Sanchez was required to install GPS monitoring and remote surveillance software on his devices within seven days of release.

Trump To Sign EO Targeting ‘Domestic Terror Networks’ After “Despicable” Attack At Dallas ICE Facility

Civil terrorism expert Jason Curtis Anderson explains the broader, alarming trend of left-wing radicals becoming activated, which reflects a form of nihilistic accelerationism.

The trend here is alarming. Anderson explains:

Earlier today, Joshua Jahn, the shooter at the Dallas ICE facility, shot three people before taking his own life.

This incident reflects what many call nihilistic accelerationism—a rising phenomenon in domestic extremism that mirrors the martyrdom embraced by jihadist terrorists. These are individuals who feel so driven by their extremist beliefs that they are willing both to kill and to die for their cause.

Many conversations must take place, and much work remains to be done, but none of it can begin until Democrats acknowledge that far-left extremism exists, and recognize the importance of toning down political rhetoric.

This is not the first time left-wing extremists have attempted to assassinate ICE officers, a recurring theme the left has used to rally voters against the current administration.

The federal government has significant catching up to do, and an interagency approach will be necessary to address the problem.

Far-left extremism extends far beyond groups like Antifa. There is an entire revolutionary (marxist) ecosystem of interconnected entities: billion-dollar progressive NGOs, anarchist networks, political organizations such as the DSA, foreign influence operations like the Singham network, gaming platforms, Discord servers and reddit threads, the dark web, and even civil-rights organizations staffed with “movement lawyers” fully dedicated to waging war against the West until it collapses.

Until the government addresses the root causes, it will only be treating the symptoms. Experts must be brought in to dismantle this machine before it’s too late.

As soon as we have more government leaders with the same pro-Luigi worldview as the DSA, Hasan Piker, and Taylor Lorenz, political assassination will become normalized in the same way that we decriminalized crime in major cities.
