Adam Stafford King and his husband were expecting a child through a surrogate mother in California around Friday, March 29. A criminal complaint filed March 21 accused King of sending child pornography through social media to a suspect in New York.

FBI officials searched the man’s phone and found videos depicting child pornography sent through social media platforms Scruff and Telegram to a man in New York, according to court documents.

Scruff is a platform commonly used by gay and bisexual men seeking to meet up with other men, officials said. Within the messages, officials said they also found photos of King’s unborn child’s ultrasound and photos of a baby outfit meant for the child. In November, King told the New York suspect that he wanted to sexually assault his son when he was “no longer a newborn,” according to court documents.


Convicted sex offender who hacked jumbotron at the Jacksonville Jaguars’ stadium gets 220 years

Samuel Arthur Thompson, 

The Jaguars hired Thompson as a contractor in 2013 to consult on the design and installation of their new video board network and later to operate the jumbotron on gamedays, investigators said. The team chose not to renew his contract in 2018 after learning of his conviction and status as a sex offender.

According to prosecutors, before Thompson’s contract ended in March 2018, he installed remote access software on a spare server in the Jaguars’ server room. He then remotely accessed computers controlling the jumbotron during three 2018 season games, causing the video boards to malfunction repeatedly.

The FBI executed a search warrant at Thompson’s residence in July 2019 and seized a phone, a tablet and two laptops, which all had been used to access the spare jumbotron server, according to log files. Agents also said they seized a firearm, which Thompson was prohibited from possessing as a convicted felon.

The FBI also found thousands of images and hundreds of videos of child sexual abuse on the devices. The files included videos and images that Thompson had produced a month before the raid on his home that depicted children that had been in his care and custody, investigators said.

The NTSB provides an update following Baltimore bridge collapse

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy has provided an update following the collapse of one of Baltimore’s main bridges.

Search and rescue operations are underway after the shocking collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland. At least six people remain unaccounted for after a shipping container collided with the bridge.

Vision of the bridge’s horror fall into the water showed it break apart and collapse in on itself within the space of seconds, leaving no time for vehicles to make it across to the other side if they were on it at the time. “We are very hopeful, and again our thoughts are with the families and their loved ones,” Ms Homendy said.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders reportedly said they found Maldonado on her knees in the driveway of the residence covered in blood. A 6-inch butcher knife, also covered in blood, was next to her.

When Maldonado saw the officers, she allegedly confessed to killing the father of her young son.

The victim was allegedly sitting on a bar stool and said, “Why are you doing this? I didn’t do nothing!” to Maldonado just before she charged at him with the knife, the witness reportedly told authorities.

When the victim attempted to disarm Maldonado, the witness allegedly saw her stab him several times.


‘Immediate review should be had’: Trump co-defendant in Georgia RICO case allowed to argue Fani Willis overstepped her authority by seeking an ‘election-related’ indictment

Fulton Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Monday granted a certificate of immediate review allowing Harrison Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump, to request a hearing from the higher court about his procedural motion to dismiss the case.

McAfee has, on several prior occasions, denied arguments advanced by Floyd that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was operating beyond her jurisdiction when her office began an “election-related” investigation and, subsequently, when the charges were filed.

Last week, Floyd tried yet again, filing a second motion for certificate of review in response to the denied motion for reconsideration.

This time, McAfee decided to take the issue off his own docket.

“[T]he requested motion is granted,” the judge wrote on Monday.


Sacramento to Become Sanctuary City for Child Abusers

Sacramento just got done passing a resolution demanding that Israel stop attacking Hamas by an almost overwhelming margin (with the exception of the lone Jewish councilwoman) so now it’s time to get even edgier.

Sanctuary cities for illegal alien invasions are old news. But what about a sanctuary city for mutilating kids?

The Sacramento City Council will Tuesday consider making Sacramento a sanctuary city for transgender people.

The resolution, proposed by Councilwoman Katie Valenzuela, would bar city staff — including officers and contractors — from detaining people for seeking or providing gender-affirming health care. It would also bar the city from cooperating with out-of-state jurisdictions that are criminalizing gender-affirming care.

The Illegal Alien Crime Wave (VIDEO)

First of all, illegal entry is itself a crime. Secondly, illegal aliens routinely commit crimes as part of their presence in this country. Thirdly, illegal aliens piggyback on cartels and other organized crime groups that are either moving them into this country and/or using them to commit crimes once they’re in America.

Illegal migration is one key element in the high crime rates in this country.


Ending Exports | Full Measure

The U.S. is now producing more oil than any country in history. It’s a trend that’s been building in recent years, a remarkable turnaround since 2008 when exports were zero. You’d think it would be something to brag about — so why isn’t the Biden administration boasting? Scott Thuman reports.


Kaylee Gain was suspended from school for brawling with another student day before fracturing skull in fight: sources

The teen with whom Gain had an altercation the previous day was friends with the student who would later smash Gain’s head into the pavement, leaving her unconscious and her body twitching, sources said.

It is unclear if Gain was the aggressor or the target in that earlier fight.

A source said Gain and her combatant — who remains in custody at a juvenile facility facing felony assault raps — were members of two rival friend groups at the school.

The minor’s defense attorney, Greg Smith, said she had no violent history prior to her clash with Gain, and is an accomplished violin player and standout student.

The announcement later clarifies that projects receiving funding are required to develop and implement a “Community Benefits Plan” (CBP) ensuring that their impact will be “equitable and inclusive.” The department also says it will monitor the implementation and may withdraw awarded funding if they are not satisfied.

“CBPs are based on a set of four core interdependent policy priorities: engaging communities and labor; investing in America’s workforce; advancing diversity, equity inclusion and accessibility; and implementing the Justice40 initiative,” the department says on its website.

“By prioritizing tangible community benefits, the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) helps ensure the next chapter in America’s energy story is marked by greater justice, equity, security, and resilience,” the agency said.

What to know about the ripple effects of the Baltimore bridge collapse

The Port of Baltimore, one of the busiest in the U.S., has halted vessel traffic indefinitely in the wake of the bridge’s collapse — which is expected to affect the flow of commerce in the U.S.

  • Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) declared a state of emergency after a ship, which he’s said issued a mayday call, struck the bridge overnight Tuesday. Rescuers were deployed to search for people and cars plunged into the Patapsco River.
  • The decades-old bridge offered a key transport helping link Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York.
  • It’s too early to determine how long the port will be closed, Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul J. Wiedefeld told reporters Tuesday.

The Port of Baltimore is the top handler in the U.S. of imports and exports of cars and light trucks, according to a recent press release from Gov Moore’s office. His office called it “one of the largest economic generators” in the state.

  • It also ranks ninth among U.S. harbors for both tonnage and dollar value of foreign cargo passing through.

Farmer Tractor Convoy Protests in London over Tory Government’s Post-Brexit ‘Betrayal’

. Photographer: Carlos Jasso/Bloomberg

Following months of tractor protests across Europe, farmers brought their frustrations to the streets of central London, flying Union Jack flags and signs with messages reading “Back British Farmers” and “No farmers, no food, no future”.

Like their counterparts on the continent, many of the farmers gathered outside Parliament expressed concerns over free trade deals — which Tory governments have been signing following the departure from the European Union — with countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, and New Zealand, among others.

British farmers argue that while they are held to a very high standard, in terms of labour, environment, and health regulations, the imported agricultural products can be produced in countries with lower standards, meaning that the food can be produced at a cheaper cost and undercut the prices of local produce.

Additionally, British farmers claim that they have been further undercut by the government’s decision to allow European farmers access to UK markets despite their comparatively higher level of government subsidies and reliance on cheap migrant labour.


Exclusive: One Million Migrants Apprehended at Southwest Border in First Six Months of Year

Breitbart Texas reviewed an unofficial Border Patrol report which revealed that the number of migrants apprehended after illegally crossing the U.S. border with Mexico exceeded the one-million mark by March 25th.

The apprehension of just over one million migrants during the first six months of Fiscal Year 24, which began on October 1, 2023, falls just shy of the same period last year when agents apprehended nearly 1,057,000 migrants. The pace is also just slightly behind the pace of the record-setting FY22 report — a year that saw the apprehension of more than 2.2 million migrants.

The Tucson Sector continues to lead the nine southwest Border Patrol sectors with the apprehension of approximately 301,000 migrants during the first six months of the year. This is up by more than 167 percent from the same period last year.


Mexican president says the ‘flow of migrants will continue’ unless the US meets his demands

 Obrador screenshot from CBS’ “60 Minutes”)

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador warned on Sunday during an interview with “60 Minutes” that unless the United States complies with Latin America’s requests for aid, the tide of migrants will continue.

In January, Obrador issued a series of demands for what the U.S. must do to stop the flow of migrants to the border, ranging from sending Latin American countries $20 billion in aid a year to granting some level of amnesty to illegal immigrant workers in the U.S.

Alfonsi noted Obrador’s demands for the U.S. to send $20 billion a year to Latin America countries, lift sanctions on Venezuela, end the Cuban embargo and legalize millions of Mexicans that are living in the U.S. 


Douglas Murray blasts ‘endless persecution’ of Donald Trump

Mr Murray joined Sky News host Rita Panahi to discuss the former US president. “I do think it’s a kind of persecution,” Mr Murray said. “I have plenty of criticisms of Donald Trump. “But if you wanted to make sure he wasn’t elected again, then run a really good candidate against him.”


Exclusive–O’Brien: Emails Reveal Athens Mayor Saw Laken Riley’s Murder as a PR Problem

Laken Riley/Facebook, kellygirtz/Instagram

Girtz’s semantic tap dancing, coupled with the fact that he seemed more concerned about not offending illegal aliens than he was about a ruthless assault on a young woman in his district, made the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) curious about what Girtz and his colleagues might be saying behind closed doors.

Through a Georgia Open Records Act request, we obtained a February 24, 2024 email exchange between Clarke County Sheriff John Q. Williams and Girtz. This exchange, sent two days after Laken Riley was murdered, is shocking.

The fact that Sheriff Williams seems more interested in covering his posterior than anything else is appalling on its own. But the fact that he appears to have had absolutely no idea about his own department’s policies regarding cooperation with federal immigration authorities raises serious questions about his ability to manage the operations of a law enforcement agency that serves upwards of 120,000 people.

ICE

Alvarado Benitez is wanted in El Salvador for his role in so-called “death-squad killings” during the country’s civil war. Authorities allege that Alvarado Benitez was involved in the kidnapping, torture, and murder of five civilians in San Andres, El Salvador, in April 1981.

Another got-away, a Brazilian national found living in Newark, New Jersey, is wanted in Brazil after having dodged a prison sentence for murder and attempted murder.

The Brazilian national was convicted of murder and attempted murder in August 2010. A court there sentenced him to 17 years and four months in prison. Sometime after his conviction but before he was supposed to report to serve his sentence, he successfully entered the United States illegally .
