Police Beating of Unconscious Trump Supporter Was ‘Objectively Reasonable,’ Department Rules
The beating of an unconscious Trump supporter by a DC Metropolitan Police Department officer on January 6 was deemed to be “objectively reasonable” after an investigation by the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau, The Epoch Times has learned.
The Internal Affairs investigation was opened in September 2021 based on a complaint filed by a Texas man who assembled video evidence of the officer striking an unconscious Rosanne Boyland with a steel baton and a large wooden stick at the entrance to the West Terrace tunnel at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Ga., was pinned under a pile of protesters who fled the tunnel when police deployed a crowd-control gas. After several minutes of being crushed by the weight of other fallen protesters, Boyland lost consciousness and stopped breathing, witnesses have said.
Thug pours beer over girl… unaware she is a Muay Thai boxing champion
A spurned reveller who poured his drink over a girl after she rejected his advances suffered an embarrassing bout of instant karma – after she turned out to be a Muay Thai boxer.
Chainarong Mareejan, 35, tried to clink his glass with Pareploy Saeaia, 25, then asked for her phone number while they were eating at a street restaurant following a night of partying in Bangkok, Thailand, in the early hours of Sunday morning February 6.
Pareploy rejected his advances and CCTV footage shows how he responded by casually walking over to her table and emptying a pint of beer all over her.
Chainarong was evidently unaware that Pareploy had been taking part in notoriously tough Muay Thai fights since she was 13 – winning dozens of professional national competitions.

Tracy Ferriter, 46, and Timothy Ferriter, 46, both of Jupiter, have both pled not guilty to one count of aggravated child abuse and one count of false imprisonment. They were being held at Palm Beach County Jail before paying $50,000 bail apiece, according to WPTV.
The couple’s three other children have since been removed from their house by Child Protective Services, including one child who is two years old.
In court on Wednesday morning, the Ferriters were ordered by Judge Charles Burton not to have contact with any of the children without permission from the Florida Department of Children and Families, according to People.
‘The juvenile was able to attend school; however, was confined to the structure during the remainder of the day,’ the Jupiter Police Department said in a press release. ‘Meals were brought to the child and the bucket was provided for bathroom use.’
CBP sounds alarm on criminal gangs recruiting teens on social media to smuggle migrants
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeing a growing trend of transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) using social media to recruit American teenagers to help them smuggle drugs, illegal immigrants and other illicit cargo into the United States.
In a release, CBP said agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector have encountered over 137,000 migrants between October and the end of December – a 163% increase over the same time in 2020. Additionally, it has seen a 43% increase in narcotics seizures.
“TCOs are luring minors to smuggle migrants across border towns in the Rio Grande Valley and into the U.S. interior with the promise of fast cash,” CBP said. “TCOs convince juvenile drivers that they will not face the same consequences as adults if apprehended or that law enforcement will disengage a pursuit if dangerous conditions are present.”

Hughes, a father of two, had been playing video games at the home with Marcell and his other siblings after being kicked out of his girlfriend’s home earlier in the day, according to Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy.
Prosecutors said that while Hughes spoke to his girlfriend on FaceTime, Marcell started to tease him about his girlfriend and being kicked out of her home, prompting Hughes to point a handgun with an extended clip at Marcell’s chest before firing the weapon and killing the boy.

Texas prosecutors admit murder suspect freed on bond has been on the lam for MONTHS after she cut off ankle monitor and jumped bail before trial:
Karla Morales, 20, lured José Villanueva, 24, to a field near a Houston elementary school on July 29, 2018, with the promise that they were going to smoke marijuana to celebrate his birthday, according to prosecutors.
Instead, Villanueva was savagely attacked by five MS-13 gang members who hacked him with machetes. He was shot dead as he attempted to crawl away from his attackers.
Morales, who was 17 at the time, was arrested and released on $60,000 bond. She was scheduled to report to court for the start of her trial October 20, 2021.

Fed’s Bullard Calls For Big Hike In Interest Rates To Fight Inflation
St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard said on Thursday that he has become “dramatically” more hawkish in light of the hottest inflation reading in nearly 40 years, and he now wants a full percentage point of interest rate hikes over the next three U.S. central bank policy meetings.
“I’d like to see 100 basis points in the bag by July 1,” Bullard told Bloomberg News in an interview, after a U.S. government report showed inflation rose 7.5% in the 12 months through January.
With only three Fed meetings between now and July 1, Bullard’s comments point to at least one half-percentage-point rate hike, a big move the Fed hasn’t made in any recent rate-hiking cycle.

‘Undercover Mothers’: Moms Form Covert Network to Expose Indoctrination Programs Plaguing Private Schools Across the Country
The central goal of the group is to expose and put a stop to political indoctrination in their children’s schools, declining academic standards, and opaque school governance and financial management — which they believe stems from NAIS.
The moms are of a variety of political leanings — some of whom told Breitbart News they have “maxed out” political donations to former President Obama and to Hillary Clinton — and do not have a collective political ideology. Their only stance is opposition to political indoctrination of any kind in school.
Speaking to Breitbart News, the “Undercover Mothers” detailed what they believe to be an effort at “elite capture” of private school kids by Marxist ideologues, hoping to control the worldview of those likely to be influential when they grow up; as one explained, “1.2 percent of the nation’s schools are NAIS private schools, but a third of Biden’s cabinet went to these schools … once you’ve got the elite organizations, that changes the entire makeup of the country.”

Speaking to Newsmax, students said that “The masks, the sexual assaults, [and] everything that the county has done wrong” led to the affidavits.
San Francisco homeless man says he gets paid $620 a month
‘This right now is literally by choice, literally by choice. If we’re going to be realistic, they pay you to be homeless here,’ James, a homeless man with face tattoos who has been living in San Francisco since June, told Michael Shellenberger, author of ‘San Fransicko,’ a book about how the city’s progressive leaders are worsening homelessness, inequality and crime.
James said it only took one phone call to receive government assistance, including hundreds in cash and food stamps worth approximately $100, and notes that the ‘free money’ is motivation to remain homeless.
‘F*****g phone call bro… Two hundred food stamps and $620 cash a month. Forget about it. Why wouldn’t I do it? You know, it’s f*****g free money dude,’ he explained. ‘Why would I want to pay rent? I’m not doing s**t. I’ve got a f*****g cell phone that I have Amazon Prime and Netflix on.’
The interview comes as the city’s homelessness and drug problems have worsened amid the national opioid crisis that escalated over the course of the pandemic.

Biden Fed Nominee Suffers from ‘Selective Amnesia’ More than 35 Times in Response to Senate Republicans
Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) roasted Raskin over how she may have used her influence as a former Fed governor to secure a lucrative financial tool for her company. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Raskin’s husband, also allegedly violated the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act by failing to disclose his wife’s $1.5 million stock payout.
Raskin has also faced criticism for advocating to use the Fed to advance a climate change agenda.
“Sarah Bloom Raskin, President Joe Biden’s latest Federal Reserve nominee, is a revolving-door lobbyist who used her access to get special treatment from the Fed for a company on whose board she sat. She thus made more than a million dollars for herself,” Tim Carney of the Washington Examiner wrote Tuesday.
In response to Toomey, the Senate Banking Committee ranking member, Raskin appeared to suffer amnesia, either saying she could not recall or was not aware of the situation..
Michigan House Passes Bill to Ban Research Using Body Parts From Aborted Babies
The Michigan state House has passed a pro-life bill to ban research using the body parts from aborted babies. Lawmakers approved a bill banning the sale or donation of aborted babies’ body parts with a vote of 55-51, along partisan lines with Republicans voting against the grisly research and Democrats voting for it.
House Bills 5558 and 5559, sponsored by state Reps. Thomas Albert, R-Lowell, and Bronna Kahle, R-Adrian, taken together would prohibit research with body parts or tissue obtained from babies killed in abortions and ban the option to donate remains of aborted babies to medical research, as well as make using cells or parts from aborted babies in medical research a five-year felony.
The measures now head to the Senate for consideration.

Canadian ‘Anti-Hate’ Group Head Used Miami Anti-Semitic Flyer to Smear Truckers
Bernie Farber, who is listed as the Chair of CAHN on the group’s website, tweeted on Sunday, stating, “Taken by a friend in Ottawa at the Occupation. Apparently in plain sight,” captioning a picture of an antisemitic flier.
The picture of the flier, however, was not from the Ottawa trucker protests against vaccine passports, vaccine mandates and Wuhan coronavirus restrictions – it was from an unrelated event in Miami, Florida, and first posted on Twitter on January 23rd. Farber defended the post before ultimately deleting his claims.
The failure to fact-check his own claims before going public is particularly concerning given Farber runs an organisation paid by the Canadian government to “[monitor] extreme-right groups, report on their activities and file complaints with law enforcement”, and which has been the main authority originating claims the trucker protest is extremist.
UK Antisemitism Incidents Soar to Record High as Violent Attacks Rise
May 2021 indicated a surge in antisemitism with 25 incidents containing discourse relating to Islam and Muslims occurring occurred in the month alone. This was also the month where Islamic radicals waving Palestinian flags on cars drove through predominantly Jewish areas of London, and individuals shouted “F*ck the Jews” and “rape their daughters”.
There were 120 recorded calls for the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel and 62 incidents comparing Israel and Nazi Germany – with many incidents also containing anti-Jewish comments.
Over 50 percent of the total antisemitic events (1,254) were recorded in Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan’s multicultural Greater London.
The past 12 months also marked the most violent year towards Jewish individuals with there being multiple violent antisemitic attacks against Jewish people with CST saying the 176 incidents were “the most ever recorded in any year”.
Paris Police Bar Entry of French Freedom Convoy to Capital
Paris and Brussels have been targeted by those demanding an end to social restrictions, inspired by demonstrators who have taken to the streets of the Canadian capital Ottawa and elsewhere.
The Paris prefecture said the protesters would be prohibited from entering the capital from Feb. 11-14.
Police have warned anyone joining the protests risk a two-year prison sentence, a three-year driving ban plus a fine. The penalties have been invoked as France has seen weekly protests against vaccine rules and virus-related restrictions for several months.
Small groups of drivers set out Wednesday from Bayonne on France’s Atlantic coast and Nice on the French Riviera, with stickers on their cars reading “Freedom Convoy.” Departures were also reported in other cities, AP reports.
Despite the ban, the Daily Mail reports organisers of the convoy have indicated that they will continue their journey to force a confrontation with the authorities.
