🚨 Houston Attorney charged with bestiality after raping the family dog A 56-year-old Houston man has been charged with felony bestiality after his wife caught him raping the family dog on surveillance cameras she installed inside their home. Steven Swain was reportedly recorded engaging in sexual acts with the family dog, Shipley. His wife installed the cameras after becoming suspicious. She later provided the footage to authorities and removed the dog from the home for its safety. Swain has been charged, and an arrest warrant has been issued. However, as of the latest reports, he is not currently in custody. This is a disturbing case of someone committing a serious sexual crime inside their own home. The dog has since been removed from the residence and is safe with the wife.

Which of them was our country’s WORST FIRST LADY?

🚨 UPDATE: Outrage is erupting nationwide after an Iranian IRGC-trained Islamist planned to ASSASSINATE Ivanka Trump — daughter of the president — at her Florida home FAFO could be arriving sooner than we anticipated. Islamists are scum! "The trained Iraqi national who was taken into custody last week allegedly made a pledge to kill Ivanka and had a blueprint of her Florida home. This was in response to the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani." "A source telling the New York Post that the suspect said this quote, 'we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house.'" "According to the DOJ, the terrorist suspect has been behind attacks on multiple U.S. and Jewish targets. He was arrested and brought to the U.S. to face multiple terrorism-related charges."

My parents would have had a stroke if in my twenties, when my career was just getting started as a lawyer, I told them I was tired and taking a gap year…at best, we took weekends off…world has changed, hasn’t it?

8 weeks of maternity leave isn’t enough. Neither is 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. Attachment theory research shows that babies need their primary caregiver (most often mom) far longer than a few months, ideally for the first 3 years. Longer maternity leave leads to better mother-infant interactions which results in a more secure attachment at 24 months. Babies are so sensitive that even any mother-baby separation for more than a week (1 week!) under the age of 2 has been shown to predict higher child negativity at age 3 and higher aggression at both age 3 and age 5. You can never convince me that anything about women working corporate jobs is natural.

On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places. At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction. Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that. He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building. I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left. I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders. What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration. In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years. I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter. I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial. At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not. Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me. Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness. But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford. People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war. But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges. By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business. It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.

I am of the opinion that if you buy $ALL calls (about a month out with about a $220 strike) right now, you will make a lot of money in the coming days. Anyway, I'm doing it, and I'm paying ~$3.

ALERT: Disgraced ex-MLB pitcher gets t-boned in his $600,000 McLaren, says, "dude, what the f*ck?" Trevor Bauer was driving his McLaren 765LT in Scottsdale, Arizona, when a driver t-boned him, sending the car spinning, jumping a curb, and smashing into a pole on the sidewalk. People close to Bauer say he was safely driving the speed limit in his own lane when the accident occurred. Bauer has not played in the MLB since being accused of s*xual assault allegations in 2021 and has been desperately trying to make a comeback.

Women are not safe even on the posters in India (Bihar here). He is licking posters of those girls and you can see little girls there. These are potential rapists who r*pe little girls first chance they get.
