#TransgenderWoman brings more than male-pattern baldness to womanhood! Fraud, felonies, self-confessed mental illness, and now 33 years in the big house

At least some ‘transgender women,’ like Representative Tim “Sarah” McBride (D-DE) can sort of ‘pass’ as women, but how did the good citizens of Hillsborough County ever decide to elect Barry “Stacie-Marie” Laughton to the New Hampshire state legislature? Mr Laughton had previously been elected to a Democratic Party Ward position, in 2012, but resigned from that after it was disclosed that he had a previous conviction for conspiracy to commit credit card fraud and falsifying physical evidence.

Mr Laughton returned to politics, was elected to the state legislature, and wound up having to resign again:

On November 12, 2022, Laughton was arrested and held in jail on a single stalking charge of violating a court order, prohibiting her[1]As per our published Stylebook, while we always refer to the ‘transgendered’ by the honorifics and pronouns appropriate to their biological sex, we do not alter direct quotations from … Continue reading from posting on Facebook about a woman. She faced up to nine months in jail due to her suspended sentence for texting 911 during non-emergencies. Amid the charges, Laughton resigned from the House on December 22.

Following a 2015 arrest, Mr Laughton did something really radical, and told the truth:

Another of Larry Krasner’s minions has been sanctioned for lying through her scummy teeth At what point should the District Attorney himself be disbarred?

It seems as though I wrote too soon. Yes, the previous article, Larry Krasner gets bitch-slapped by the state Supreme Court, remains accurate and valid, but just this morning, only a few hours after the previous post was published here and on the American Free News Network, readers of The Philadelphia Inquirer are learning that the District Attorney’s Office has gotten yet another slap across the mouth, from another court.

A former supervisor in DA Larry Krasner’s office has been suspended in federal court

The development comes just one day after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court sharply curtailed Krasner’s office’s ability to seek to overturn old convictions and accused its lawyers of misleading judges.

Larry Krasner gets bitch-slapped by the state Supreme Court Let ’em Loose Larry wants to lock up police officers, and set criminals loose

We have frequently criticized Philadelphia’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, a former criminal defense attorney, but hey, this is just an evil, reich-wing source, so our criticisms can be simply written off as just more evil, conservative hate, right?

But what if some of that criticism comes from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which is controlled by Democrats?

Pa. Supreme Court blasts DA Larry Krasner’s office, saying it misled judges in seeking to vacate old murder convictions

In a forceful and scolding opinion, the state’s high court said Krasner’s office “violated its duty of candor” and ruled the state attorney general’s office must now review cases it seeks to overturn.

Killadelphia: I confess to being unable to see how a victim’s race makes him either more or less dead.

On Sunday, November 28, 2021, Temple University student and a fellow with Philadelphia City Commissioner’s Office, Samuel Sean Collington, 21, was robbed and then murdered near the school in North Philadelphia. Mr Collington was a white victim, murdered by a black juvenile named Latif Williams in a botched robbery. On Thursday, December 2, 2021, The Philadelphia Inquirer published 14 photographs from a vigil for Mr Collington, along with another story about him.

On Thursday, September 22, 2022, recent Drexel graduate Everett Beauregard, 23, was senselessly murdered, shot in the neck.

Now there’s another senseless murder of 22-year-old William Schmidt, a Penn State student, in South Philly:

A Penn State student was shot to death in South Philadelphia, police said

The victim lived just steps away from where he was killed.

by Michelle Myers and Andrew Kitchenman | Sunday, June 7, 2026 | 1:59 PM EDT

A 22-year-old Penn State student died after being shot a half block from his home in South Philadelphia early Saturday, police said.

Police said officers from the 1st District responded at 1:32 a.m. to a radio call for a person with a gun on the 1900 block of Durfor Street. They found William J. Schmidt lying in the street with a gunshot wound to the chest, police said.

Schmidt was returning home from a local bar where he had been watching the NBA Finals with friends, according to his father, 6abc reported.

Surveillance cameras captured video that appeared to show the moments before the shooting, 6abc reported. A man can be seen throwing a cell phone in one video, and seconds later, another man ran around a corner with Schmidt chasing him, before the gunman turned around and shot him, according to another video.

There’s more at the original.

Note that there was video, but the newspaper simply referred to the suspects as “a man”, “another man”, and “the gunman”. Now, on Wednesday, 6ABC released images of the suspects, and though they do not describe the suspects, we can see that the suspects are black males. Perhaps the newspaper, the day after Karmelo Anthony, a black male, was convicted of murdering Austin Metcalf, a white teenager, the Inquirer doesn’t want to fan any flames of racial hatred. Those who love to fan the flames of racial hatred have been decrying the fact that Mr Anthony was convicted at all, but at least as I am typing this, the Inky has neither any stories on the trial or the Usual Suspects among the columnists pontificating on the subject.

But that doesn’t mean the newspaper won’t have any stories about a black man being murdered by a white criminal!

Brooklyn man is convicted of fatally stabbing a Philly dancer at a gas station

Dmitriy Popov faces up to 25 years in prison for killing O’Shae Sibley at a Brooklyn gas station in 2023.

by Rob Tornoe | Tuesday, June 9, 2026 | 4:38 PM EDT

A Brooklyn man has been convicted in the killing of beloved Philadelphia dancer O’Shae Sibley, who was stabbed to death at a New York City gas station in 2023.

Dmitriy Popov, 20, was convicted of manslaughter as a hate crime and other charges related to “taunting, stabbing, and killing” Sibley, which included “hurling homophobic and anti-Black slurs,” Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement.

Sibley, 28, was a gay Black man, while Popov, who was 17 at the time of the killing, is white. Popov, who was tried as an adult, faces up to 25 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for June 30.

The reporter, Rob Tornoe, went out of his way to tell us that there was a racial aspect to the killing. More, as the newspaper has been celebrating homosexual “Pride” month, Mr Tornoe had to tell us that the victim was homosexual. I’m not certain how Mr Sibley being black or homosexual makes him either more or less dead.

I do not celebrate the conviction of Karmelo Anthony, because he is a young man who had his whole life ahead of him. He got stupid, killed another young man with his whole life ahead of him, all due to a fight which should never have been a fight. Austin Metcalf is stone-cold graveyard dead, and Mr Anthony, when he gets out of prison in 17½ to 35 years will be a hardened criminal, with no future other than the next crimes he’ll commit. He’ll wind up back in prison, or dead.

The conviction was necessary, but no one is better off for it.

The peasants are revolting!

Apparently, at least in liberal-speak, if you are a member of an Accredited Victim Group™, you do not have to do anything really radical like obey the law or behave like a civilized human being.

The City of Brotherly Love — a pretty appropriate nickname right now — has gone all out on the homosexual “Pride” month, something our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper has been very eagerly covering, and as you might have guessed, the party atmosphere has not led to orderly behavior.

15 arrested as police response to Gayborhood Pride festival spurs criticism from some in LGBTQ+ community

Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said officers had responded “to a growing number of public safety concerns.”

by Jesse Bunch | Monday, June 8, 2026 | 7:06 PM EDT

Fifteen people were arrested at a Pride celebration in the Gayborhood on Sunday, authorities said, and the response drew criticism from some LGBTQ+ residents over how police handled crowd control at the event.

Images of police officers engaging with attendees in Center City circulated widely across local social media feeds on Monday, featuring criticisms of what some considered to be an outsized and aggressive law enforcement presence.

In one image shared on X, a police officer on a motorcycle appears to push against a woman’s chest, and in another photo, pushes the woman against a garage door while arresting her.

Others videos showed police on horseback dispersing young people from a sidewalk, as well as officers physically struggling with a man outside of the gay bar Woody’s.

Sounds like crowd control to me, efforts by the Philadelphia Police to keep things safe and orderly, among a crowd in which some partygoers might have consumed mood-or-judgement-altering substances.

And in yet another clip, a row of police officers — two of whom were wearing face coverings — formed a line to clear a barricaded Gayborhood street while officers on motorbikes rode along the sidewalks.

Joshua Stokem, a New Jersey resident who regularly attends the city’s Pride celebrations, said he has never seen that large of a police presence during such festivities.

“They were definitely getting more and more aggressive” as the gathering stretched into the early evening, said Stokem, who works as a promoter for LGBTQ+ events at city bars.

Councilmember Rue Landau, herself a member of the LGBTQ+ community, said in a statement Monday that LGBTQ+ constituents had reached out to her office in “outrage” and that she was working to better understand the department’s strategy.

It’s really simple: police officers in those situations are trying to keep things orderly and safe, while ‘revelers’ are not always inclined to behave.

Considering the size of the crowds, at least to judge by the coverage that The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philly television stations have provided, fifteen people being arrested, mostly for disorderly conduct, but at least one person “was arrested for aggravated assault of a police officer.”

Can I blame that on the newspaper’s encouraging attitude when it comes to citizens ‘resisting’ law enforcement when it comes to immigration? To me, those things are related. If someone has no respect for law enforcement in one area, would it be any particular surprise that such a person might have less respect for law enforcement in other areas?

Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said in a statement that the celebration was “by all accounts, a successful event attended and enjoyed by thousands of people.”

Still, “as crowd sizes increased in the Gayborhood, officers responded to a growing number of public safety concerns, including fights, disorderly behavior, blocked roadways, and the challenges associated with safely managing large crowds in a confined area,” Bethel said.

What? Fights? Among our peaceful, leftist communities? I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!

Let’s face it: Commissioner Bethel, all of the supervisors, and really every police officer in the City of Brotherly Love know that Philly is very supportive of the homosexual community, and they would certainly not be going out of their way just to beat up the revelers; that’s very much a career-limiting move, and with the city’s asinine, far-left, police-hating District Attorney, any cop would know that if he stepped over the line, Larry Krasner would want to throw him in jail. I’m not going to give any credit to the special pleaders for this particular Accredited Victim Group.™

At what point does a columnist slanting or hiding information to one side become lying through his scummy teeth?

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s communist, oops, sorry, columnist Will Bunch frequently shades the truth, slanting it as far left as he possibly can, but there’s a difference between shading the truth and lying through his scummy teeth.

Mikie Sherrill’s state police riot in Newark is a national disgrace

New Jersey state troopers meant to protect Newark protesters from ICE are violently shredding the First Amendment instead.

by Will Bunch | Sunday, May 31, 2026 | 2:05 PM EDT

When Donald Trump was first elected president in 2016 and the United States began its decade-long spiral into authoritarian madness, there arose a popular meme: Whatever you think you would have done to stop the rise of European fascism in the 1930s, or to end American racial injustice in the 1960s, is what you are doing right now.

Today, a humanitarian tragedy is taking place behind barbed wire and rows of riot cops in the industrial netherlands of Newark, where immigrants snatched by masked agents of American secret police are held in a private lockup called Delaney Hall in squalid conditions — fed rancid food, denied proper medical care, and fearing for their lives.

What are good people doing right now? As news of a detainee hunger strike inside Delaney Hall reached the outside world, a few hundred protesters have made their way toward the gates of the facility run by the for-profit GEO Group — to voice support for the strikers, demand humane treatment, and, for some of them, put their bodies on the line to commit acts of civil disobedience against a human-rights catastrophe on American soil.

Let’s use the same link Mr Bunch used last to see what he meant by “put their bodies on the line to commit acts of civil disobedience.”

Groups of demonstrators, many wearing gas masks and other face coverings, linked arms in a human chain, videos and photos posted on social media show.

The distinguished columnist doesn’t like it when ICE officers wear “face coverings,” but it doesn’t seem to bother him when the mostly peaceful protesters do.

Some used trash cans, old mattresses, umbrellas and other materials as makeshift shields and barricades as they confronted U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement officers.

Others attempted to block people and vehicles from entering and exiting the building or threw orange traffic cones and other objects in the direction of ICE officers as they taunted them with expletives and vulgar chants.

The ICE officers, many of whom wore helmets and tactical vests, used pepper spray to try and disperse the protesters, according to videos posted to social media. Some used their batons to beat and push back protesters as the officers attempted to clear the roadway for vehicles.

DHS said about six demonstrators were arrested for assaulting law enforcement officers.

The source is WPVI-TV, the ABC owned-and-operated television station in the City of Brotherly Love; it’s not some evil reich-wing source.

Mr Bunch’s subtitle called it “shredding the First Amendment,” so let’s ask: what exactly does the First Amendment say?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Do throwing “orange traffic cones and other objects in the direction of ICE officers,” attempting “to block people and vehicles from entering and exiting the building,” or using “trash cans, old mattresses, umbrellas and other materials as makeshift shields and barricades” sound like they meet the constitutional standard of assembling peaceably?

Is “assaulting law enforcement officers” part of the right of the people peaceably to assemble?

Mr Bunch again:

So is the New Jersey governor at war with the rogue agency that sends masked goon squads into city streets to grab day laborers or Uber drivers and warehouses them in squalid gulags, and that murdered two citizens on the streets of Minneapolis when they tried to protest? Or is she partnering with them? How long can we remain in denial that 21st century America is a police state with “resistance Democrats” as willing partners?

By “grab day laborers or Uber drivers” the columnist means arresting people in our country illegally. By “they tried to protest,” Mr Bunch means trying to run down ICE agents with her car (Renee Good) and pulling a gun on ICE agents (Alex Pretti). Of course, he doesn’t tell you that part, does he?

At what point, I have to ask, does the columnist slanting or hiding information to one side become lying through his scummy teeth? In my opinion, he’s not just past that point, but well past it.

However, I do agree that we should get rid of these illegal immigrant detention centers. What we should do is deport them immediately upon apprehension, and if they have a case to be made for being allowed to live in the United States, they can make it at the American embassies or consulates in their home countries.

Well, of course he did! As-masculine-as-James-Talarico Tim Walz pardons an illegal immigrant convicted felon to try to save him from deportation

Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), whom we are very, very fortunate is not Vice President of the United States, in his eagerness to protect illegal immigrants, goes out of his way to pardon an illegal with a past felony conviction, to try to keep him from being deported.

From the New York Post:

Tim Walz pardons illegal alien convicted of armed robbery before ICE deportation to Laos

By Peter D’Abrosca, Fox News | Friday, May 29, 2026 | 3:49 AM EDT

Minnesota’s Democratic governor on Wednesday pardoned an illegal alien previously convicted of armed robbery before he could be deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Jai Vang, an illegal alien from Laos, was convicted of aiding and abetting and armed robbery in Hennepin County in 1994, according to FOX 9.

The incident occurred when he was 18 years old.

He served his prison term, and was released back into the United States.

That’s the first problem: after his prison term, he was released back into the United States rather than being deported at that point. That was 1994, when Bill Clinton was President, so it was yet another soft-hearted Democrat who didn’t enforce our immigration laws.

He was arrested by ICE as part of Operation Metro Surge in the Minneapolis area in January, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) release from the time.

So, Minnesota’s as-masculine-as-James-Talarico Governor never saw a reason to pardon Mr Vang and get him on the path to citizenship before, but just left him out on the streets until he wanted to try to resist President Trump’s attempts to actually enforce the laws.

When Gov. Tim Walz learned of Vang’s arrest by the federal government, and that Vang had requested clemency to avoid being deported in June, the governor called a special session of the state’s Board of Pardons’ Clemency Review Commission to ensure the case was reviewed before Vang’s deportation. could be completed.

The Clemency Review Commission, which was joined by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and state supreme court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson, voted unanimously to pardon Vang.

Minnesota does not give the governor sole pardon and clemency power; Mr Walz had to take extra measures to get consent from Natalie Hudson and Keith bin Ellison to issue the pardon. Mr bin Ellison was the Attorney General who insisted on more serious charges against former police officer Derek Chauvin, so it isn’t like he is lenient in charges against police officers, only real criminals.

The commission reasoned that Vang hadn’t committed further crimes since he was released from prison, had started a family and owns a local painting business.

Let’s see, Mr Vang, a convicted felon and illegal immigrant, “owns a local painting business.” What are the odds that some or most or even all of Mr Vang’s employees are also here illegally? The Post story doesn’t tell us, but the probability that he did employ other illegals is very high, and ICE should investigate those employees.

During the hearing, Walz inaccurately referred to Vang as a “citizen.”

He said Vang has become a “critical member of the community” since his release from prison.

“I can find no reason how Minnesota will be safer or better if Mr. Vang is deported to a country he has not been to since he was a child. I do not see how it would serve his family, nor the economic interest where we have a taxpaying citizen who is creating job growth and living a life free from any criminal activity,” Walz said.

If there is a demand for Mr Vang’s painting business, that demand would still exist and create the opportunity to fill it by an actual American citizen. We don’t need convicted felons here.

You in a heap o’ trouble, girl!

When the sex abuse scandal involving Catholic priests became major news, I was seriously concerned about the widely-spreading stereotype of all priests being perverts. While the John Jay Report, The Nature and Scope of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests and Deacons in the United States 1950-2002 documented that the problem was limited to about 4% of the Catholic clergy — certainly too many, as even one is too many — I did not foresee that there would be such a huge number of public school teachers doing the same stuff. Public school teachers are, after all, not required to be celibate, and can go out and date or marry or whatever with whomever they wish, as long as they are adults. And really, why would any educated person — and almost all teachers are college graduates — risk their career and their freedom to hop in bed with a kid that really didn’t know what he was doing in bed . . . or in a Hummer?

Teacher who allegedly had sex with student in school closet now accused of abusing 5 more, including a girl

By Chris Bradford | Friday, May 22, 2026 | 10:54 AM EDT

A Georgia science teacher already charged with having sex with a student in a classroom closet has now been accused of abusing five other teens, including a girl — allegedly having sex in a Hummer as well as at a golf course parking lot.

Boys and girls, huh? That’s LGBTQ+, so our good friends on the left will have to forgive her!

Maris Nichols, 25, was re-arrested Thursday, nearly two weeks after she was first charged with sexually assaulting a student at least twice, in the school closet as well as a parked Hummer, 11Alive reported.

She was hit with 11 new charges, including child molestation, evidence tampering and grooming involving five new accusers — at least one of whom she allegedly also had sex with in a public spot.

This was in Douglas County, Georgia, population 34,650 according to the 2020 census, certainly big enough to find an adult or three who’d be sexually interested, because she certainly isn’t ugly, though she doesn’t look quite so hot in her mugshot, and only 20 miles from Hotlanta.

Miss Nichols is, of course, innocent until proven guilty, but really, with her poor taste in shoes, she’s got to be guilty of something!

I’m waiting on yet another effort by the left to censor things that don’t like.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, it seems that there were warning signs known to the police about Caleb Vazquez, one of the killers in the San Diego mosque shooting. From London’s left-wing The Guardian:

One of shooters in deadly attack at San Diego mosque was previously flagged by FBI

Officials seized guns from Caleb Vazquez’s father last year amid alarm over teen’s views on mass shooters and Nazism

by José Olivares | Friday, May 22, 2026 | 12:45 PM EDT

One of the two white supremacist shooters who attacked a mosque in California on Monday and killed three people had already been on law enforcement officials’ radar, according to US media reports.

Local officials were so alarmed by Caleb Vazquez’s idolization of mass shooters and Nazism that they seized his father’s guns a year before the shooting, the New York Times reports. Similarly, Bloomberg reports that Vazquez had already been flagged by the FBI as a “potential threat” last year.

Eighteen-year-old Vazquez and his friend, Cain Clark, 17, attacked the Islamic Center of San Diego earlier this week and killed three men, including a security guard who exchanged gunfire with the attackers and prevented them from reaching 140 schoolchildren. The two shooters then died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds in their getaway car.

Further down:

Vazquez was already on law enforcement’s radar, after someone flagged to officials troubling social media posts. In a protective order last year, a police officer wrote that Vazquez was involved in “suspicious behavior” that idolized Nazis and mass shooters, prompting officials to seize Vazquez’s father’s guns. Vazquez had also been placed in an involuntary psychiatric hold, the Times reported.

Vazquez’s father and his wife had 26 guns, including pistols, rifles and shotguns in their home. The father wrote in an affidavit that he had voluntarily put the weapons in a storage facility because of concerns about his son. The court ordered him to voluntarily turn over his guns to officials.

So, law enforcement knew about young Mr Vasquez at least, though there are still no reports that I have seen indicating either of the two shooters had previous criminal records. The New York Post reported that Mr Vazquez had:

walked away from a mental health facility the day before carrying out Monday’s deadly attack, sources said.

Caleb Vazquez, 18, left the Park Mental Health Treatment Center the morning before killing three people at an Islamic center with 17-year-old Cain Clark, law enforcement sources told The Post.

So, the police knew about Mr Vazquez, and the family’s firearms were taken away, and he had been receiving some apparently-not-very-effective mental health treatment, yet he still went on a killing spree. Why, it’s almost as though the policies that the left advocate didn’t work in this case.

Mr Vazquez was reported to be somewhere on the autism spectrum, though that term is so over-diagnosed and overused as to make it practically meaningless.

Messrs Clark and Vazquez had apparently been interested in radical videos, so watch for our good friends on the left want to censor our freedom of speech and of the press because a few nutbags might be radicalized. After all, they tried it before, during Joe Biden’s four unfortunate years! The New Republic blamed Kamala Harris Emhoff’s election loss on freedom of speech, and we have reported many times on now thankfully former President Biden’s attempt to create a Ministry of Truth under the Department of Fatherland Security, called the “Disinformation Governance Board”, and how we were fortunate that it failed. The left were aghast when Elon Musk was trying to buy Twitter, because they were afraid that conservatives might use Twitter more successfully, and the very lovely Taylor Lorenz, who wants to force us all to wear face masks forever, blamed the failure of that Board on “right-wing attacks.” My good friend — we’re such good friends that she has blocked me on Bluesky — Amanda Marcotte, who exercises her own freedom of speech and of the press on Salon, wanted the government to take over Twitter while The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far-left columnist Will Bunch suggested it “should exist more as a semi-public utility than as an entity that a man with a spare $44 billion can just light on fire.”

So, I’m waiting on yet another attack by the left to censor things that don’t like. To have a free society is to assume greater risks for that freedom. People could, after all, be far safer from crime, from revolutionaries, from all sorts of things in places like China or North Korea.
