"Fact check: He threatened to shoot up his middle school and stab classmates who angered him," tweeted Christina Pushaw ************************************************************* On Thursday, the Miami Herald published a misleading claim about the recent arrest of the 13-year-old son of Rebekah Jones, the disgraced "whistleblower" who claimed the Florida Department of Health pressured her to manipulate Covid data to the benefit of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and the outlet said that the child was arrested over "memes" when he was arrested for threatening to shoot up his school, Holley Navarre Middle School. According to Yahoo News, the boy was arrested for "digital...

Yesterday, Chaya Raichik, the woman behind the vital @LibsofTikTok account, appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox Nation show, where she discussed the work that she does to expose radical LGBTQ activists and, in particular, their targeting of children. Well, let the record show that Alejandra Caraballo, online safety expert and clinical instructor at the Harvard Law Cyberlaw Clinic, was absolutely disgusted with what transpired during Carlson’s interview with Raichik. According to Caraballo, it was one of the most bigoted interviews she’s ever heard in her life: Chaya Raichik went on Tucker Carlson and said the "LGBTQ community has become this cult…...

Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace has called out threatening rhetoric by a transgender activist, who tweeted that Supreme Court justices should be 'accosted' and 'never know peace again.'

After Nancy Mace’s NUCLEAR questioning of Alejandra Caraballo (and if you haven’t seen it yet, watch below, it’s A-MA-ZING), Glenn Greenwald was good enough to put a thread together taking the ‘online safety expert’ who openly wished violence on SCOTUS justices apart. As usual from Greenwald, this is pretty damn good: This is a brilliant exchange by @NancyMace yesterday in Congress. There is a tiny group of hateful left-liberal fanatics whom have been arbitrarily dubbed "Online Safety Experts" and constantly warn hateful rhetoric incites violence. Yet they're the most hateful people around. https://t.co/bI7fdata0C — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) December 14, 2022...

SALEM — Miguel Caraballo once allegedly boasted that he would never return to prison. With a 20-year minimum mandatory prison term for home invasion looming, as well as additional time for a federal probation violation, Caraballo saw an opportunity to make good on that boast, hatching an escape plan straight out of the movies. Now the convicted felon, who once allegedly threatened to shoot it out with police, remains at large and hunted by law enforcement, after he eluded sheriff's deputies and shuffled into a waiting car behind Salem Superior Court yesterday morning. At the wheel was an as-yet-unidentified woman,...

KABUL - An American journalist inmate at an Afghan jail block seized by prisoners said Taliban militants held there threatened on Tuesday to behead him and told him he would die if an attempt were made to end the siege by force. Emmy award-winning documentary maker Edward Caraballo, 44, from New York, was one of three Americans jailed in 2004 after being convicted of running a private jail and illegally detaining and torturing men in a freelance war on terror. Speaking by mobile phone from Pul-i-Charkhi jail on the outskirts of Kabul, Caraballo told Reuters he was barricaded in...

Tin SoldierAn American Vigilante In Afghanistan, Using the Press for Profit and Glory By Mariah Blake In April 2004, a former U.S. Special Forces soldier named Jonathan Keith Idema started shopping a sizzling story to the media. He claimed terrorists in Afghanistan planned to use bomb-laden taxicabs to kill key U.S. and Afghan officials, and that he himself intended to thwart the attack. Shortly thereafter, he headed to Afghanistan, where he spent the next two months conducting a series of raids with his team, which he called Task Force Saber 7. By late June, he claimed to have captured the...
