-Lurid Crime Tales-
Oregon teachers' aide, 'drag mom' to child drag queen sentenced to less than 1 year in jail for 11 felony child sex crimes

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A former Oregon elementary school teaching assistant and "drag mom" to a controversial child drag performer has been convicted of 11 felonies over the distribution of child sex abuse content and sentenced to less than a year in a local jail.

Kelsey Meta Boren, 33, was convicted in Lane County, Ore. on March 23 of 11 felony counts of encouraging child sexual abuse in the first degree. A single charge of using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct was dismissed as part of the plea deal. Boren was sentenced to 330 days in county jail—30 days for each felony count—in a sweetheart deal agreed upon between the district attorney’s office and her counsel.

"Our office must decide each case individually, taking into account the facts of the offenses, and the nature of the offender," wrote Lane County Deputy District Attorney Robert Lane to The Post Millennial. "This case was assigned to me, and I made those decisions."

Before being arrested, Boren worked as a teaching assistant for special education students at Veneta Elementary in Veneta, Ore. According to court documents, she told detectives that her need for child sex abuse content was like an "uncontrollable itch that she couldn't stop." The deputy district attorney told TPM her victims have no relationship to the school or children there.

This writer originally reported in October 2022 that Boren was one of the long-term "drag moms" to an 11-year-old child drag performer being featured at a Eugene leftist pub. A "drag mom" is a drag performer who teaches a younger or inexperienced person the tricks of the trade. Boren used the stage name "Alwaiz Craving" (always craving) and had been one of several adults grooming the child into drag performing since she was at least seven years old.

The two were close and the child even adopted part of Boren’s stage name into her own drag persona as "Vanellope Craving." Photographs on the child’s Facebook show her being showered on stage with dollar bills and dressing in revealing outfits. "Vanellope" has CashApp and Venmo accounts where adults are encouraged by handlers to send cash.

Africa Horn
Russia has opened a new front against the West
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Petr Akopov

[RIA] If you don't know, Russia has opened a second front against the West for a week now. As where? In Africa, but not French (this was last year), but in Sudan. This was announced by Bernard-Henri Levy himself - a French philosopher, the godfather of the Libyan revolution (that is, the overthrow of Gaddafi in 2011) and a fierce fighter against "Russian imperialism" everywhere and everywhere. Levy revealed to the world the essence of what is happening in Sudan: "Putin's methods in Africa? We are in a global war: Ukraine is the first front line, Sudan is the second."

#1  Blinken is in over his head. Mark Milley is no better. Where have they been. China and Russia have made inroads here and in Latin America. Putin struck a nerve with his anti-colonial theses. This idea is well received in Africa.

#2  If Africa thought the era of European Colonialism was evil and exploitative, not withstanding the legacy of stability and prosperity it generally left behind, wait until they experience Chinese management. Ask a Uyghur!

#3  The USA did not even take back thousands of US Citizens that were on our side in Afghanistan.

#4  ^^ Disgusting, what?

If it's any wonder why the US can no longer be trusted and thereby are losing the rest of the world (while the OBiden Administration is obsessed with Ukraine), then there we have it.

Denmark declares troop withdrawal from anti-ISIS engagements in Iraq, Syria
[Shafaq News] The Danish Ministry of Defense on Saturday announced it is pulling out its military forces previously involved in the fight against the Islamist krazed killer group, ISIS, in Iraq and Syria.

The Danish ministry said in a statement that the decision was multifactorial. The diminishing number of ISIS forces of Evil following the group's defeat in 2017 and the need to allocate forces inside Denmark contributed to the materialization of this decision, the statement explained.

Colonel Bjarke Lomborg, the commander of the Danish Air Control Wing, said that the capacity to confront threats in the country's surroundings holds greater significance at the moment.

In a prior disclosure, the Danish Ministry of Defense unveiled its intentions to fortify defense-related communications with the Faroe Islands, situated in the Arctic region, in a bid to address the precarious security situation in the area.
