Swiss Man Chooses Jail Over Fine After Conviction for LGBT Comments Online

A Swiss man is choosing prison over paying a fine after courts punished him for comments on social media about biological sex.

Emanuel Brünisholz, who repairs wind instruments in Burgdorf, announced that he will serve 10 days behind bars beginning in December rather than hand over hundreds of francs to the state.

The case began nearly three years ago when Brünisholz replied to a Facebook post by Swiss National Council member Andreas Glarner.

In his response, he wrote: “If you dig up LGBTQI people after 200 years, you’ll only find men and women based on their skeletons. Everything else is a mental illness promoted through the curriculum.”

That remark was quickly flagged by activists, who reported it to police as incitement to hatred under Article 261bis, the country’s anti-discrimination law.

What was once a narrowly tailored rule to stop racist propaganda has, since 2020, been extended to cover “sexual identities.”

According to local media, this expansion opened the door for Brünisholz’s prosecution. On August 15, 2023, local police interrogated him, demanding to know his intent.

When asked what he meant by his post, he answered: “Well, that those who think there’s not just man and woman, I want to tell them that there’s only man and woman.”

As reported by Reduxx, asked about his opinion of the “LGBTQI” community, he said: “Nothing, absolutely nothing. It’s an extremist bunch. They want to silence me.”

Authorities concluded his statement demeaned LGBT individuals and thus violated human dignity.

He was fined 500 Swiss francs, with the penalty convertible into jail time if unpaid. After he contested the order, the Regional Court of Emmental Oberaargau reaffirmed the guilty verdict in December 2023 and added another 600 francs in court fees.

Instead of complying, Brünisholz declared he would not pay. On September 19, 2025, he posted an image of his summons from the Bernese Office of Justice Execution alongside the words: “It’s happening. On December 2, I’m going to prison for 10 days!”

Scottish Police Arrest Serial Speaker: Elderly Woman Charged After Holding Sign Offering to Discuss Abortion

Rose Docherty is what they call a criminal recidivist in the United Kingdom. The 75-year-old woman has been arrested for a second time for the same fiendish act: offering to speak to women considering an abortion. She was arrested  outside the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for carrying a placard which stated “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Fortunately, she and her sign were quickly seized by the local police to protect the public.

Free speech literally does not have a prayer in the United Kingdom. We previously discussed the case of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, who was arrested for standing near an abortion clinic while silently praying. Police asked what she was doing standing at the location and when she said that she was praying in her head, they arrested her.

How Docherty ended up in the hoosegow in Glasgow is a chilling tale of how censorship can consume a nation.

The Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act came into force last September. The architect of the law, Scottish Green MSP Gillian Mackay, denounced protests of abortions as “totally unacceptable abuse and obstruction” outside hospitals. So it is now a crime to behave in ways that could influence the decisions of women and staff to access services within the buffer zones.

In other words, it is a crime to exercise free speech. In this case, the “unacceptable abuse” was offering to speak with other women about abortion.

The United Kingdom shows how limiting speech can create an insatiable appetite for greater and greater speech controls. I discuss the UK as a cautionary tale for the United States in my book, The Indispensable Right.

A man was convicted for sending a tweet while drunk referring to dead soldiers. Another was arrested for an anti-police t-shirt. Another was arrested for calling the Irish boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend a “leprechaun.” Yet another was arrested for singing “Kung Fu Fighting.” A teenager was arrested for protesting outside of a Scientology center with a sign calling the religion a “cult.”

British censorship now extends to not just silent prayers but toxic thoughts.

Violence And The Permanent Adolescents Of The American Left

Over the past 18 months, the irrational and near psychotic hatred and fear of Donald Trump that permeates the Marxist-inspired American left and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Democrat party, has evolved into violence, upheaval, and murder. This anti-American cabal, fearful that it is on the cusp of being decisively defeated, has unleashed its army of permanent adolescent foot soldiers in a desperate bid to retain its power and influence.

American Leftism is a unique amalgamation of Marxism, Darwinism, and oligarchism that requires an army of brain-dead acolytes who dwell in a state of permanent adolescence. The vast majority of these foot soldiers do not understand that the leadership of their movement consists of avowed Marxists determined to establish a one-party socialist oligarchy in which they will be viewed no differently than the rest of the unwashed masses.

The acolytes’ overriding trait and why they are permanent adolescents is their intractable belief that their lives will only be meaningful if they are part of “the in-crowd.” Over the past six decades, the American left, by seizing the mantle of anti-establishmentarianism on college and university campuses, has evolved into the ultimate in-crowd.

In this way, the left was able to determine what those desperate to belong must fervently believe and act upon. And, as in the fairy tales relayed to them while in childhood, as well as the comic-book-based movies with which they’re obsessed, the leaders of the American left working in academia indoctrinated these future pawns to believe that there is a monolithic entity that can guarantee prosperity, happiness, and equity.

That entity, of course, is a government under the Marxist-inspired left’s permanent control. Once attained, this would then be the true “democracy,” not the bastardized version the slave-owning founders of the United States created 250 years ago.

The other powerful weapon the American left has used to recruit and control these permanent adolescents is guilt. Over the past 60 years, these self-serving would-be oligarchs have made certain that there is always something in the United States to be guilty about. Leftists have used guilt as a weapon to indoctrinate and incite their mind-numbed minions to seek collective absolution by doing their bidding, even to the point of violence directed against the left’s perceived enemies.

Trump Admin Probes California State University System Over Anti-Semitism, Racial Bias Claims

The Trump administration has launched an investigation into all 22 campuses of the California State University (CSU) system over allegations of anti-Semitism and racial discrimination.

Chancellor Mildred Garcia said in a Sept. 26 letter to the Cal State community that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has launched “a systemwide antisemitism complaint” against Cal State. Garcia said investigators have already begun contacting faculty and staff to review allegations and speak with them about their experiences on campus.

Garcia also revealed that the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has initiated a separate inquiry into Cal State. That probe centers on allegations of racial discrimination “due to interactions with the PhD Project,” a nonprofit organization created to diversify business education and the corporate workforce.

Garcia said that news of the investigations “may be unsettling” for faculty and staff, and she denied any misconduct and emphasized that Cal State intends to cooperate fully with the probes.

“The CSU does not discriminate against or give preference to any individual or group based on race, ethnicity, nationality, shared ancestry, religion or any other protected status,” Garcia wrote.

She added that the system is “firmly committed” to ensuring that admissions and hiring are based solely on merit.

DOJ Targets Pro-Palestine Groups with Same Law Used by Biden Admin Against Pro-Life Activists 

On Monday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a lawsuit against pro-Palestine protestors who allegedly targeted a synagogue in New Jersey in 2024.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon will use the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, the same act that the Biden administration used to target pro-life activists.

AG Dhillon shared during a press conference, “The practice of turning a blind eye to these attacks on houses of worship throughout the United States stops now.”

“Today, we announced the filing of a civil complaint against individuals and organizations who organized and carried out a violent protest that interfered with a religious event and obstructed worshippers at congregation Ohr Torah Synagogue in West Orange, New Jersey, last year.”

“These violent protestors meant their actions for evil. But we will use this case to bring forth good, the protection of all Americans’ religious liberty.”

“Let me summarize what happened in this incident last November. About 50 protestors, including the defendants, organized a mass protest and assembled illegally without a permit, gathering near a Jewish worshipper’s home before moving towards congregation Ohr Torah Synagogue in West Orange, New Jersey.”

“Some of the protesters carried in blue Vuvuzelas, horns capable causing hearing damage while shouting at Jewish residents as they passed their neighborhoods. The group marched onto synagogue property, blowing the Vuvuzelas and shouting to drown out a memorial service and a Torah sermon.”

“Defendants Altaf Sharif and Jane Doe blew Vuvuzelas within inches of a Jewish worshipper’s ears. Sharif then charged at the Jewish worshiper. When another worshiper intervened with pepper spray, defendant Eric Kamens pointed at the worshiper and shouted, ‘the Jew is here,’ prompting Sharif to place the worshiper in a chokehold lasting over 20 seconds.”

“Even after the police ordered the mob off synagogue grounds, they continued shouting threats, including, ‘You can’t hide,’ and ‘You’re next.’”

Fascism Alert: Rep. Eric “Fang Fang” Swalwell Vows to Go After Private Citizens Working With President Trump Should Democrats Seize Control of Congress

The Democrats will be targeting ordinary Americans to retailate against the Trump Adminstration for holding disgraced former FBI Director James Comey accountable along with people who have worked with President Trump to clean up corruption and go after bad actors.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Department of Justice indicted Comey on Thursday on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice.

This came days after Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act “now” to bring prosecutions against Comey for his crimes.

Comey repeatedly lied to Congress and the FISA Court in order to spy on Trump in the Russiagate scandal, something he knew was completely made up back in 2016.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-China) went on CNN this morning and vowed revenge on the Trump Administration.

He stated that should Democrats gain control of Congress, they would subpoena the Department of Justice and try to bully them into coughing up answers.

“We’re going into the majority a year from now,” Swalwell said. “We will bring oversight…We will subpoena the Department of Justice.”

Swalwell then made clear private citizens who had worked with Trump would be in the Democrat bullseye if his party seizes control of Congress. So, fascism is on the menu.

“But also private actors who have done these drug deals with the administration,” Swalwell stated. “College campuses, entertainment companies, law firms…”

“So, accountability is coming,” he added. “It’s all coming out.”

“I hope that deters people from doing more of these deals for the president.”

Conservative Pro-Debate Group Kicked Off Campus At Tennessee State University

A pro Debate conservative group known as “Fearless Debates” was kicked off campus at Tennessee State University as reported by Campus Reform.

In a widely viewed video on social media a man wearing a MAGA hat is seen being yelled at by students.

Later on an angry riot broke out with people throwing things at debaters Cam Higby and David Khait’s vehicle.

The students rioting also shouted Black power at the Cam and David.

The “Fearless Debates” posted on Instagram that the group was tabling at Tennessee State University was the first historically Black University they were visiting on this tour named Fearless Tour.

These debaters just wished to have a respectful exchange of ideas but sadly on many liberal campuses this is no longer accepted.

The signs they used to promote discussion stated “DEI should be illegal” as well as “Deport all illegals now! Lets talk!”.

According to News Channel 5 “Fearless Debates” said “they had come to create conversation and discourse.” They were eventually kicked off campus.

The university stated “The safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff remain our highest priority. TSU will continue to uphold university policies and ensure that campus remains a safe, welcoming and orderly environment for all members of our community.”

The NAACP claimed this free speech group had sought to “antagonize, disrupt, and instill fear in a space created to be safe, affirming, and supportive of Black students.”

College was originally meant to be a place of different ideas and debates but apparently The NAACP doesn’t  agree with exposing students to different ideas.

Hillary Clinton Suggests ‘Formal Deprogramming’ For ‘MAGA Extremists’ Who Still Support Trump

In an interview with CNN, Hillary Clinton compared supporters of former President Donald Trump to a “cult” and said that “maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.”

“Sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure,” Clinton told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in an interview that aired Thursday night. “He’s only in it for himself.”

Seizing on Clinton’s comments, the Trump campaign issued a statement Thursday night, saying “President Trump has said countless times that they are only coming after him, because he stands in their way from coming after you — and Hillary Clinton just confirmed that to be true. Tens of millions of Americans will reject the Democrat Party’s re-education camp agenda in November 2024 when we make Donald Trump the 47th President of the United States.”

Clinton, who ran against Trump and lost in 2016, painted the 2024 election as a choice between two vastly different visions for America. “One will wreck our democracy. One violates the law on a regular basis. One appeals to the worst in our collective psyche. The other gets things done,” she said. “Why is that a hard choice?”

University of Cincinnati has removed the TPUSA chapter from campus suddenly with no explanation

University of Cincinnati removes TPUSA chapter from campus suddenly with no explanation

Controversy is once again shaking the American university system. This time, the University of Cincinnati has abruptly removed the student chapter of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) from its campus, offering no official explanation. The decision has sparked outrage among conservative students, who argue this is nothing more than ideological retaliation against those who dare to think differently in an environment dominated by progressive policies.

The chapter’s president confirmed that they received an email notifying them of their immediate removal as an officially recognized student organization. But the blow didn’t stop there: in addition to losing their status on campus, the students are now being forced to pay for the rental of spaces they had already reserved for future events. A double penalty that, according to TPUSA members, illustrates the systematic hostility they face as conservatives within academia.

Being a conservative student at a public university is already difficult, but decisions like this make the situation unbearable. TPUSA members say every step they take is hindered by bureaucracy, ideological pressure, and now financial punishment. The message they receive is clear: conservative ideas are not welcome.

This is not the first time the University of Cincinnati has faced accusations of censorship and retaliation. Just a few years ago, a student was formally charged for using the term “biological woman” in a mandatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) course. For many, that case set a dangerous precedent that is now being repeated with the suppression of TPUSA’s chapter.

The decision has sparked criticism beyond the campus. National conservative voices warn that similar cases are multiplying across the country, as universities push a cancel culture that punishes those who defend principles like free speech, personal responsibility, and traditional values. According to these critics, the academic left seeks to mold students into a single line of thought while eliminating any real space for debate.

What troubles students most is the lack of transparency. No clear reason has been given for the removal, and no appeals process has been offered. For the affected students, this is an abuse of institutional power and clear evidence of political bias at the university. On top of that, imposing extra costs for pre-reserved spaces amounts to financial punishment against a group that had followed all the rules.

Māori women’s rights advocate faces jail over social media posts

Rex Landy, an outspoken Māori women’s rights advocate and member of Mana Wāhine Kōrero, is facing court action under the Harmful Digital Communications Act after being reported to police by a trans activist over her social media posts.

Landy was arrested in December 2024 after complaints from Daniel Johnston, a fantasy author who identifies as female and is known online as “Caitlin Spice.” 

Police first contacted Landy in 2022 and later issued a written warning. “They told me I had to stop saying what I was saying… 

The very next day I received a written warning in the post threatening that they had enough to charge me under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015.” 

In September 2024, Landy was ordered by the court to delete all posts referencing Johnston. She says she deleted everything but claims she missed two posts. 

On 18 December, she said police raided her home, seized devices, and charged her with failing to obey a court order.

She was given another charge after Johnston claimed she had indirectly referenced him in a livestream. Prosecutors have ruled out diversion, telling the court she was “in the grip of an ideology,” meaning they view her stance as rigid and unchangeable rather than a one-off lapse, and therefore undeserving of leniency. Landy reportedly faces up to three months in jail or a $50,000 fine.

“Win, lose, or draw – he’ll never be a woman. I’ve already won. I’m a woman, he isn’t,” Landy said.
