Okmulgee city councilor arrested, accused of child abuse

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said an Okmulgee city councilor accused of child abuse was arrested on Tuesday.

On Nov. 24, 2025, the Okmulgee Police Department requested OSBI to investigate a report of child abuse.

OSBI said an Okmulgee Police report stated that 63-year-old Marcus Jeffrey struck several minors with a belt during a youth meeting at a local church.

Jeffrey, who is an Okmulgee city councilor, reportedly started as a teacher for the youth group a few weeks prior to the incident, according to OSBI.

OSBI said that while reviewing video surveillance from inside the church, Jeffrey was reportedly seen swinging a belt toward a group of children, hitting a number of them.

An arrest warrant was issued for Jeffrey on Tuesday, and he turned himself in to the authorities the same day.

Elderly Leftist Couple ARRESTED for Vandalizing Republican Office in Illinois

The “tolerant” left is at it again, and this time, it’s coming from the “Golden Years” crowd.

Two elderly leftists in Arlington Heights, Illinois, have been arrested and charged after a months-long investigation into the disgusting vandalism of the Republicans of Wheeling Township headquarters.

According to the Arlington Heights Police Department, 72-year-old Brock McNerney and 69-year-old Moisette McNerney were taken into custody on Monday in connection with the defacement of the headquarters last January.

The pair now face misdemeanor charges of criminal damage to property and criminal defacement of property under Illinois law. Authorities say the arrests were made without incident, and the suspects were released pending their initial court appearance.

ABC7 Chicago reported:

Surveillance video from the late evening hours of Jan. 25 shows a couple, a man in glasses and a woman, both dressed in black, drawing explicit words and what ABC7 Chicago has been told were several Nazi symbols over the face of Charlie Kirk on the windows in Arlington Heights.

“Charlie Kirk was born in Arlington Heights, and he actually had come through our doors; so, he was initially started off with our organization. So, we’re really kind of deeply saddened to see that,” Deputy Committeeman John Saletta said.

The Republicans of Wheeling Township Office said the alleged vandals drew antisemitic symbols on their building.

Saletta said they put up surveillance cameras after their building was previously vandalized in December.

“It’s obviously highly offensive, and we’re better than this,” Saletta said. “I think that as a nation, you know, we can resolve our differences through dialogue. That’s what Charlie was all about.”

SHOCK: Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal Says ICE Agents Will Shoot and Kill Families When They Are Deployed to Airports

Democrat Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal on Sunday said ICE agents will shoot and kill families at airports.

The Democrats have repeatedly voted to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

On Friday, Democrats once again blocked funding for the DHS and TSA.

Hundreds of TSA agents have quit their jobs after missing a paycheck.

Major airports across the US are experiencing delays due to TSA staffing issues.

Travelers are waiting in security lines for up to five hours and missing flights because of the Democrats.

President Trump this weekend said he will be deploying ICE agents to airports across the country to help travelers swiftly get through security lines.

“The Radical Left Democrats have hurt so many people with their vicious and uncaring ways. What they have done to the Department of Homeland Security, our fantastic TSA Officers, and, most importantly, the great people of our Country, is an absolute disgrace,” Trump said.

“If the Democrats do not allow for Just and Proper Security at our Airports, and elsewhere throughout our Country, ICE will do the job far better than ever done before! The Fascist Democrats will never protect America, but the Republicans will. Just like the Radical Left allowed millions of Criminals to pour into our Country through their ridiculous and dangerous Open Border Policy, the Republicans closed it all down, and we now have the Strongest Border in American History,” Trump said.

“Likewise, I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday, and have already told them to, “GET READY.” NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE GAMES!” Trump said on Truth Social.

James O’Keefe and OMG Team Violently Assaulted on Skid Row After Catching Petitioners in a Cash For Ballots Scheme

James O’Keefe, members of the O’Keefe Media Group and other journalists were violently attacked on Skid Row on Friday.

O’Keefe and other journalists confronted petitioners who were engaging in a cash for ballots scheme when all hell broke loose.

A cameraman was punched in the face and others were pepper-sprayed.

“My team, myself & @camhigby were just violently assaulted on Skid Row, my camera crew were punched in the neck and face, we were pepper sprayed, but thankfully just escaped. Some members of our team had to run 10 blocks to get out,” James O’Keefe said.

“We were in the heart of Skid Row confronting the petitioners who @Savsays and my team caught on tape illegally offering drugs for ballot signatures,” O’Keefe said.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released part one of its investigation into a California elections fraud cash for ballots scheme.

James O’Keefe and his team of journalists went undercover on Skid Row in Los Angeles posing as homeless people.

‘Petitioners’ told the undercover journalists that they are paid between $7-$10 per signature. Some of them earn up to $1,000 per day.

“California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms,” they said.

Democrats Love Gun Control And Violent Criminals Because Both Can Punish You

While at a gun store recently, I was inundated with warnings against illegally buying a gun for someone else. The counter even had signs threatening up to 15 years in prison. 

They don’t mean it. This was proven a few days beforehand, when a convicted ISIS terrorist opened fire at Old Dominion University, killing an ROTC instructor before the cadets heroically took him out. Not only had this terrorist been set free in the United States after only a brief prison term, but he had bought a stolen gun from a man whom the Biden administration had declined to charge for allegedly repeatedly and illegally buying guns for other people; instead, they had him write an apology letter. So much for 15 years.

Meanwhile, I was at the gun store because Democrats, having taken full control of the state government, are rushing through a radical gun-control agenda, including a ban on so-called “assault weapons,” by which they mean various popular semiautomatic rifles and even handguns. We may hope the courts will do their duty and strike down these blatantly unconstitutional laws, but many Virginians are stocking up in case they don’t. 

A criminal who admitted to illegally buying guns (one of which showed up at a murder scene) got off with a “sorry,” but if a store were to keep selling “assault weapons” after the deadline, Democrats would undoubtedly demand the maximum penalty. Democrats are not actually trying to reduce crime or save lives with their gun-control schemes. If that were what they cared about, they would insist on enforcing the law (including existing gun laws) against actual criminals rather than finding new ways to harass ordinary, law-abiding gun owners. 

Just look around Virginia. The first act of the new Democrat governor was to make the entire state a sanctuary for illegal immigrants. The far-left Fairfax County prosecutor let a particularly dangerous illegal immigrant off the hook again and again, despite police objections, until he allegedly murdered a woman. Also in Fairfax County, public schools allowed an adult illegal immigrant to enroll as a high school student; he then allegedly sexually assaulted girls at least a dozen times — and the county is refusing to hand him over to ICE to be deported.

Part of the left’s obsession with gun control is that actually dealing with crime would mean slaughtering their sacred cows. Hating on some imagined Bubba the southern hick and Chad the suburban gun collector is encouraged, but leftists are not permitted to worry about the crazy homeless guy on the subway, the panhandling junkie outside their door, or thuggish young men loitering around the corner. Expressing those concerns will get Democrats denounced as hateful bigots by their own side.

A recent New York Times piece illustrated how leftists pretend away the obvious about crime. Titled “We Study Mass Shooters. Something Terrifying Is Happening Online,” the column constantly referred to trans-identified killers by their preferred pronouns, and its search for root causes ignored that these murderers were men pretending to be women. This is a perfect example of how left-wing pieties prevent Democrats from actually facing problems and offering real solutions.

This is repeated again and again. Leftists are told not to worry about family breakdown and the evils of fatherlessness, or how mass immigration encourages factionalism and damages social trust and capital. They are not even allowed to notice when massive government spending is an obvious grift (e.g., hundreds of millions spent on homeless programs that don’t fix anything but do keep a lot of NGOs flush with cash). And when welfare money is stolen by the billions, they leap into action to defend the imported criminal gangs systematically defrauding the American government.

But Democrats are allowed to hate guns and gun owners, especially those who are white, male, and Christian. And they are allowed to redirect all their legitimate fears and concerns onto gun owners, who thereby become a scapegoat for all the problems that left-wing ideology prevents leftists from even confronting.

Shocking decision to not charge suspects with hate crime in brutal attack on Hebrew-speaking diners

The three suspects accused of brutally assaulting two Israeli-Americans outside a diner in San Jose, Northern California, will not face hate crime charges in the attack, prosecutors revealed.

The three men — Ramon Akoyans, 18, Roma Akoyans, 20, and Bruneil Chamaki, 32 — were hit with felony assault charges, while Chamaki faced an additional misdemeanor battery charge after they turned themselves in to the San Jose Police Department on Monday.

Investigators had been looking at the attack as a potential hate crime after the Hebrew-speaking victims alleged their attackers used antisemitic language.

It’s not clear why prosecutors did not move forward with hate crime charges, though the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office said the case “remains an active investigation.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the attacks as “disgusting” and San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said that “antisemitism and all acts of hatred have no place in San Jose.”

The shocking assault took place in broad daylight on March 8 outside the upmarket restaurant Augustine on Santana Row.

Identity Politics over Public Safety on the Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago’s transit chaos shows the cost of a grievance-driven politics: when enforcement is always racist, everyone else just gets less safe.

The Legacy of Jesse Jackson Makes All of Us Less Safe

If you ride the trains or buses in Chicago with any regularity, you don’t worry about microaggressions.

You worry about being maced, mugged, or shoved onto the tracks—or, in one grotesque recent case, set on fire.

That’s the lived experience of Chicagoans navigating the Chicago Transit Authority and Metra. Not academic theory. Not seminar-room sociology. Reality.

So naturally, when a modest pilot program is introduced allowing the transit agencies to suspend individuals who assault conductors, spit on drivers, punch random riders, or otherwise turn public transportation into a Thunderdome audition, what does the Chicago Tribune decide is the story?

Not whether the program works.

Not whether it can be enforced.

Not whether it deters crime.

No.

The story, apparently, is that it’s racist.

Because roughly 90 percent of the approximately 40 individuals suspended under the program are black or Hispanic.

Forty people. In a city of nearly three million. On a transit system carrying hundreds of thousands daily.

That’s the scandal.

Will This Make Chicago Safe?

An ultimatum issued by the Trump administration has pushed the Chicago Transit Authority to unveil a beefed-up security plan, threatening to yank federal funding unless the agency tackles the rampant crime plaguing its trains and buses.

This move comes after a string of brutal attacks exposed the failures of soft-on-crime policies in the Windy City.

The CTA submitted its Revised Security Enhancement Plan to the Federal Transit Administration, detailing a “75 percent increase in monthly system policing hours, aggressive crime reduction targets, and expanded social service support,” according to an official agency statement.

Elements include more patrols from Chicago Police and Cook County Sheriff’s deputies, expanded mental health outreach to connect individuals with housing and services, and tighter collaboration with prosecutors for tougher handling of transit-related crimes.

“The plan is CTA’s formal response to an FTA Special Directive issued in December,” the agency noted, highlighting early signs that recent strategies are curbing crime.

This overhaul follows the FTA’s rejection of an earlier CTA submission, with the Trump administration giving the agency until March 19 to deliver or risk losing up to $50 million in funds.

The push stems from high-profile horrors like the November 18 attack where Lawrence Reed, a career criminal with 72 prior arrests, allegedly doused a young woman with gasoline and set her ablaze on a Blue Line train.

London Buses Must Now Be Equipped With Stab-Kits

Calls for “bleed kits” to be rolled out across London’s bus network have gained traction, with the London Assembly unanimously backing a motion to install them in major bus stations and trial them on high-risk routes.

These kits, designed to stem severe bleeding from deep wounds, are pitched as a lifesaver in emergencies—yet their sudden necessity speaks volumes about the city’s descent into chaos under unchecked policies.

The push comes from the London Youth Assembly, highlighting how young people feel increasingly unsafe on public transport.

As Hugo Maxwell, chair of the London Youth Assembly, put it: “These kits are already in lots of Underground stations but buses are the mode of transport most used by young people and therefore it’s essential that we start the rollout there.”

Labour’s transport spokesperson Elly Baker added: “I’ve heard too often from young people that they don’t always feel as safe as they should do travelling… Passing this motion will show that we are listening to young people and backing the investigation of a potentially valuable method of saving lives.”

BBC reports frame this as a proactive safety measure, but online reactions cut through the evasion.

One X user quipped: “The English will be wearing mail armor again. Return to feudal times.”

Another noted: “Their police are too busy arresting people for memes.”

A commenter added: “Self Defense should be available to everyone.”

And one simply stated: “Ready for my commute to work in London,” alongside an image of protective gear.

This rollout underscores a low-trust society where stabbings are dismissed as background noise, a grim reality fueled by open borders and soft-on-crime approaches.

Instead of tackling the root of this horrific reality, it is just being accepted that commuters are somewhat likely to be attacked and killed, as if it’s an accepted part of everyday life in London.

Two Nicaraguan Illegal Aliens Who Entered US on Biden’s Open Border Invitation Arrested Following Machete Attack at Florida Laundromat

Although President Trump sealed the border upon resuming office in January 2025, the previous four years under Biden have taken a toll.

Millions of illegals invaded the US, many of them being dangerous criminals with violent histories.

Two men from Nicaragua, who came into the US under Biden, were arrested in Florida after a machete attack, according to police.

The violent attack happened in the city of Arcadia on February 22nd. ICE confirmed they were, in fact, illegally in the United States.

Officers with the Arcadia Police Department responded to a call at SuperMatt Laundry and found a man who had a wound from what appeared to have been caused by a machete.

Border Hawk Exclusive Report:

A pair of Nicaraguan men who were unleashed into the U.S. by the Biden regime are in custody following a machete attack in Florida, authorities say.

The disturbing incident unfolded in Arcadia on Feb. 22, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just confirmed the statuses of both suspects with Border Hawk this week.

The Arcadia Police Department (APD) said officers responded to a reported physical disturbance at SuperMatt Laundry where they found a male victim suffering from a “significant laceration consistent with a machete wound.”

Both suspects fled, but they were tracked by the DeSoto County Sheriff and the Arcadia Police and were arrested during a traffic stop.

29-year-old Rafael Hurtado-Martinez and 33-year-old Yeri Flores-Salgado were charged with aggravated battery with the use of a deadly weapon.

Both suspects are in the US illegally. It was reported that Rafael Hurtado-Martinez is currently in custody with ICE in Louisiana.

Yeri Flores-Salgado has been on probation for five years, going back to March 2025, for property damage and vehicle theft, which are both felonies.

Both illegal aliens came to the US through the southern border and were released into the US under the Biden regime’s catch-and-release policy.

Yeri Flores-Salgado is still in custody at Desoto County Jail, without bond, for violating his probation.
