Convicted pedophile trans woman jailed for raping dog
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A convicted pedophile trans woman with a history of possessing indecent photos of children was sentenced to 20 months in prison after photos were discovered of her engaging in sexual acts with a dog.

Claire Goodier, previously known as John, had her devices seized after a routine check by police, according to 4W.

The police discovered searches for bestiality during this check, which was initiated in 2019. Police found enough evidence for them to remove the devices from Goodier's possession and do a full analysis.

After two years, police discovered 31 images of Goodier raping a dog, which occurred in December of 2018.

Goodier reportedly admitted to the act, stating that she sought the experience after fantasizing about having sex with an animal.

It was there that Goodier took part in sexual acts with others and the animal.

During the December 2018 incident, Goodier had also been in breach of a suspended sentence order, which had been imposed in May of 2018 for failing to follow the terms of a sexual harm prevention order.

In 2006 and 2009, Goodier was convicted of possessing indecent images of children.

Judge Steven Everett called the Goodier’s act with the dog in addition to other adults "despicable," "disgusting," and "depraved."

"Simon Mills, defending, said his client had always been 'frank and honest' with the probation service and although accepting the behaviour had been depraved and disgusting, called on the Judge to consider another suspended sentence," wrote the Daily Mail.

"This incident took place some three years ago. 'The picture now is one of sporadic offending," said Mills. "This is not a case where the offending is getting more and more serious. She will do everything asked of her by the court and there are tentative signs of improvement in her attitude and approach."

Judge Everett told Goodier he did agree with the probation service assessing her as being a low risk of re-offending as he sent her to prison.

"You are a long, long way from changing your life. You deceitfully took part in a cocaine-fueled incident with other persons," said Everett. "Since the terrible offense took place you kept the images unashamedly for your own sexual gratification."

I think the opening sentence makes it clear this POS is a walking talking serious dangerous mental Illness case.

When will our society get back to the locking these freaks up. instead of them of a Touchy-Feely social pedestal?

Also whoever the Judge and DA was that let him walk with a suspended sentence, needs to have a DEEP Background audit.

-Great Cultural Revolution
A Painting Of George Floyd Roils Catholic University
[News Motion] In the summer of 2020, shortly after the murder of George Floyd, Kelly Latimore, a white artist who grew up surrounded by images of a white Jesus, decided to make a course correction. He’d paint the Virgin Mary and Jesus with gold halos encircling their heads — and both would be Black.

Also, his image of Jesus would resemble Floyd, a Black man who had been killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis.

The painting, titled "Mama," attracted little notice in February after a copy was installed at the law school of the Catholic University of America in Washington. But in November, The Daily Signal, a conservative website, published an article about the work and about the university’s recently published report on diversity and inclusion, and students created a petition calling for its removal. That month, the painting was stolen.

The university replaced it in November with a smaller copy — the school’s policy was "not to cancel speakers or prevent speech by members of the community," the university’s president, John H. Garvey, said in a statement after the theft — but now that copy, too, has been stolen. And the student government has passed a resolution calling for further displays of the work on campus to be banned, citing religious objections.

The debate over whether a private institution has the right to display or remove work that some students find offensive is one that has rippled across the country in recent years. In 2019, students at Mary Baldwin University, a private liberal arts college in Staunton, Virginia, objected to an art exhibition in a university gallery that included Confederate imagery. The show was closed within 48 hours of its premiere. And earlier this year, a federal judge ruled that Vermont Law School could cover two murals that some students considered racist.

While Garvey had initially defended the decision to display the work, he apologized in a statement Monday for the "confusion" the painting had created and pledged to think carefully about how to replace it. (An investigation into both thefts is ongoing, the university said.)

"Many saw the figure in the arms of Our Lady as a divinized George Floyd," the statement said. "This interpretation led to accusations that the work was blasphemous, something that is contrary to the respect due God and his holy name. Regardless of your interpretation, it created needless controversy and confusion, for which I am sorry."

#1  It’s not a Black Jesus that ought to be objectionable — people around the world have painted Christian religious figures, including Jesus, looking loke themselves (see here) — but sanctifying Mr. Floyd shows either deliberate insult or a depth of ignorance about the man that has to be deliberate. Giving his face to one of the thieves hung on crosses alongside the crucified Jesus would work, or perhaps a forgiveness/grace motif, but this is a BLM, Inc. approach by both the artist and the university. Especially as one would assume a Catholic university would have art historians on staff to explain the theological error.

#6  A new phase: they're just humiliating us now.

But we've been here before -- they're just following in the Bolsheviks' footsteps, mimicking their full-fledged "assault on religion."

Here's the great historian Richard Pipes describing Lenin's use of the Komsomol youth organization to mock and discredit religion -- all faiths -- with obscene parodies such as the "Komsomol Christmas" staged in all the major cities on (interestingly) 6 January 1923. Pipes:

Such spectacles, as well as the posters and cartoons that accompanied them, by violating ingrained taboos in a deliberately shocking and vulgar manner, produced an effect not unlike that of pr0nography... .

While the Communist press reported that such productions drew large and enthusiastic crowds, the reality was different. Witness G.P. Fedotov wrote that

"The population, and not only the faithful, worked upon this hideous carnival with dumb horror. Nearly everyone tried to turn off the road when it met the shocking procession. I may certify as a witness of the Moscow [anti-religious] carnival, that there was not a drop of popular pleasure in it. The parade moved on empty streets and its attempt at creating laughter or provocation were met with doll silence and part of the occasional witnesses."

Example of 'American Exceptionalism' in Southern West Virginia coal country
[The Hill] Jocelyn Sheppard hasn’t always been a lavender and honey farmer. For more than a decade, she was the founding partner of a consulting firm that did market research, business planning and grant writing for tech startups and nonprofits. But something came up at work that pulled her into a completely different world.

"I was hired to write a grant to explore the feasibility of growing lavender on reclaimed coal mine land," Sheppard recalls, "When the grant was winding down, I had the idea that this would be great as a commercial opportunity."

This year, Sheppard’s notion became a reality in Boone County, W.Va. Her new company, Appalachian Botanical, is now a 35-acre lavender farm and apiary located in the bowl of an old strip mine.

It’s a venture of second chances in more than one way.

More than 2,000 flights canceled on Christmas Eve - Omicron blamed
[CNN] New York (CNN Business)Airlines have canceled thousands of flights on Christmas Eve, including hundreds of US domestic flights, as staff and crew call out sick during the Omicron surge.

Globally, airlines have canceled over 2,000 flights, 454 of which are within, into or out of the United States.

Operational snags at airlines are coming as millions are still flying in spite of rising coronavirus cases. The TSA says it screened 2.19 million people at airports across the country on Thursday, the highest figure since the uptick in holiday travel started a week ago.

Stranded at sea at Christmas: More than 1,000 Americans are stuck onboard cruise ship as Mexico refuses to allow them to disembark do to COVID
[MAIL] More than 1,000 American passengers will spend Christmas Day stuck aboard a cruise ship after authorities in the western Mexico state of Jalisco blocked them from disembarking because 21 crew members have tested positive for COVID-19.

The Holland America Line ship sailed off from San Diego on Sunday with stops in the Mexican resort cities of Los Cabos and Mazatlán before it arrived on the coast of Puerto Vallarta on Thursday at approximately 7.30am.

The Jalisco state health department considered allowing each of the 1,035 passengers off the MS Koningsdam, which has at least 873 crew, as long as they turned in proof of negative COVID-19 tests, Mexican news outlet Milenio reported.

But, officials soon did a u-turn over fears that the outbreak could have spread further than the 21 infected crew members.

'This option was discarded because the health protocols indicate that no one could disembark when positive cases were registered on the boat, so the decision was finally made not to disembark,' the health department said in a statement.

The decision has frustrated passengers, with one, Paulette Laussane York, snapping a photo of the port city's beach shoreline.

'Puerto Vallarta from our veranda,' she wrote on Facebook. 'Mexican authorities won't let anyone off our cruise ship, Koningsdam. Some crew members (fully vaccinated) tested positive for Covid. Ship is headed back out to sea.

#1  Fools. They're doing exactly the opposite of what they should do now that COVID is proven endemic. Meanwhile:

South Africa will no longer impose COVID-19 quarantines and stop most contact tracing — now that as much as 80 percent of the country has gained immunity through previous infections, health officials said.

#3  Gee, imagine if our moronic rulers were to follow the common-sense South African authorities and do this:

But the [South African] health agency will continue contact tracing for outbreaks in congregate settings, in which they’ll ask people who have been exposed to get tested only if they begin showing symptoms.

“All contacts must continue with their normal duties with heightened monitoring (daily temperature testing, symptom screening) of any early signs,” the release said. “If they develop symptoms then they should be tested and be managed according to the severity of the symptoms.”

Common sense. Proper epidemiological practice based on a solid grasp of evolutionary biology. Respect for people, families, businesses.

And this isn't from America or Canada, Europe or Australia but from South Africa!

Will miracles never cease? O Night Divine!

#4  Back in the USSA, we are tyrannized by Woke Morons -- like Scott Kirby, the vermine United Airlines CEO.

Here's Sen. Cruz, fighting back (thank G-d) and grilling the United Airlnes CEO:

Sen. Ted Cruz went on to describe the egregious treatment various employees have received from United.

"One of the messages was from a pilot who flew for United for more than two decades, who applied for, and received an exemption from your vaccine mandate on religious grounds, and was subsequently placed on leave with no pay, and np benefits—including medical insurance. Now his wife, who relies on her husbands insurance, has had to postpone a necessary surgery with no idea of when she’ll be able to reschedule because she has no idea of when her husband will be able to fly again. And you’re simultaneously enforcing a noncompete so this pilot cannot even go work for your competitors!

"Another message I received from another pilot, a constituent, self-described proud Texan, flew for the Air Force for almost three decades, including missions in Asia, now found himself on indefinite unpaid leave with a denial of all benefits to include medical, dental, vision, insurance, disability, travel privileges, crew member access to jump seats, denied access to his retirement savings. This morning, I spoke with a 10-year flight attendant for United, a woman name is Adrianna Uballe, who is a single mom, a Hispanic single mom from Texas, who you fired. She received her termination notice tied in a trash can to her front gate. I have a letter here from Ms. Uballe describing the disgraceful treatment she received at the hands of United. ..."

The senator described United’s actions as “deeply disturbing.”

He cited the recent opinion of Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge James Ho, who described the likelihood of United employees succeeding on the merits in their case against Kirby as “compelling and convincing at this stage.”

Bangladesh
Bangladesh ferry fire: Dozens killed near Jhalakathi
[BBC] At least 37 people have been killed and about 100 others injured after a packed ferry caught fire in southern Bangladesh, local officials say.

The blaze on the three-decked vessel started mid-river near the town of Jhalakathi as it sailed from the capital Dhaka to the town of Barguna.

Some of the victims drowned after jumping into the water.

The number of casualties in Friday's disaster is likely to increase as many of the passengers have severe burns.

As many as 500 people were reportedly on board the vessel.

The fire is believed to have started in the engine room and quickly spread as the ferry travelled along the Sugandha river in the early hours, fire services official Kamal Hossain Bhuiyan told local media.

The blaze reportedly continued for hours.

One passenger who survived, an elderly grandmother, told AFP news agency most people had been sleeping when the fire broke out.

"We were sleeping on a mat on the ground floor deck," she said. "My nine-year-old grandson, Nayeem, was with me, he jumped into the river. I don't know what happened to him."

Another woman, who was travelling with her father, sister and six-month-old nephew, said the young child had gone missing.

"When the fire broke out, I gave the baby to a man. He was trying to save the baby. But now we can't find them," she said.

A man who was on board the ferry said the vessel appeared to have issues with its engine before the blaze and later became filled with smoke.

"The ferry's windows had curtains, and these curtains trapped the smoke," he said.

Russian serviceman arrested on suspicion of treason
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[RIA Novosti] In the Voronezh region, a serviceman was arrested on suspicion of working for Ukrainian intelligence, the FSB reported.

"FSB officers in the Voronezh Region have detained a serviceman of the Western Military District on suspicion of committing a crime under Article 275 of the Russian Criminal Code: High Treason," the press release of the Service's Public Relations Center says.

According to the investigation, he passed on information about the Russian army to the Ukrainian special services, "...the leakage of which could damage the state's defense capability."

The defendant was arrested by the Voronezh garrison military court.
Court hearings on treason cases are held behind closed doors, as the materials in them, as a rule, are labeled "secret". The maximum punishment under Article 275 is twenty years in a penal colony.

5G Rollout Could Disrupt Domestic Air Travel Within Weeks
[Forbes] Domestic air travel is hurtling towards a crisis beginning January 5, and neither policymakers nor the public seem to grasp the gravity of the situation.

January 5 is the day on which AT&T T +0.4% and Verizon plan to commence operation of 5G cellular services, using frequencies approved by the Federal Communications Commission in 2020.

However, the federal regulatory agency that oversees airlines has determined that cellular base stations generating the 5G signals near airports could impair radio altimeters used by pilots to determine how close they are to the ground.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued an "airworthiness directive" earlier this month requiring that commercial and commuter aircraft cease relying on radio altimeters when operating in the presence of 5G interference.
