Memories of an alleged kidnapping in 1978 that became universally known as the 'Mormon sex-slave case' were stirred following the appearance of Bernann McKinney on television screens and in newspapers around the world with the five pit bull puppies that were cloned from her much-loved dog Booger's frozen DNA. Reports from Seoul, explaining that Ms McKinney had paid £25,000 for the procedure to create five genetically identical replicas of her pet in the first transaction of its kind led to furious speculation about her true identity. To those who remembered the sex slave scandal, Ms McKinney's face looked familiar. The...

This April 25 will mark the 30th Anniversary of the best-known of the many rapes that Bill Clinton committed. Most Americans are unaware of the fact that Bill Clinton, who served as their president for eight years, is a serial rapist. That is not their fault because the press spiked the story in 1999 when the Juanita Broaddrick story broke. It is just a sad coincidence that April is sexual assault prevention and awareness month. I think it might be a good idea to wear a lavender ribbon pin on this date. People will ask, "What's with the lavender ribbon?"...

The Bill Clinton who met privately with California's superdelegates at last weekend's state convention was a far cry from the congenial former president who afterward publicly urged fellow Democrats to "chill out" over the race between his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Barack Obama. In fact, before his speech Clinton had one of his famous meltdowns Sunday, blasting away at former presidential contender Bill Richardson for having endorsed Obama, the media and the entire nomination process. "It was one of the worst political meetings I have ever attended," one superdelegate said. According to those at the meeting, Clinton - who...

Had an automated telephone call at the office today (yes, I was working) to invite me and all of us, to hear former President Bill Clinton speak at Santa Ana College at the Cook Gynmasium in a rally for his wife. It starts at 8:00 a.m., doors will open at 7:00 a.m. and you can line up two hours earlier. The stadium only holds 1,000 so get there early. Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez is also going to be there, so it's a can't miss opportunity to meet the brilliant Loretta Sanchez and an impeached President, all at the same time. Santa...

Bill Clinton Unloads on Press By Anne E. Kornblut Former president Bill Clinton lashed out in response to criticism on Wednesday from a prominent Democrat in South Carolina, accusing the Obama campaign of running a political smear campaign against him through the media. "You live for this," Clinton snapped at CNN reporter Jessica Yellin when she asked him to comment on statements by Dick Harpootlian, the former South Carolina Democratic party chairman, who said recent distortions by the Clintons are "reprehensible." Harpootlian, who backed the Clintons in the 1990s and now supports Sen. Barack Obama, had compared Clinton's distortions to...

Former President Bill Clinton got positively riled -- as in steely-eyed -- today when pressed by a local TV reporter on the issue of lawsuits filed by Sen. Hillary Clinton's Nevada supporters to challenge the Jan. 19 Democratic "at large'' caucus locations that will serve workers on the Las Vegas strip. Many of those workers are members of the 60,000-strong Culinary Workers Union -- which has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama.

JOHANNESBURG, Jan. 4 -- Within the Zulu culture of Jacob Zuma, the newly elected president of the African National Congress, few moments in a man's life are more celebrated than taking a wife -- even if he already has others. But news of Zuma's plans to marry a longtime girlfriend this weekend -- marking, by most counts, his sixth wedding -- sent waves of unease Friday through this polyglot nation where progressive notions of women's rights clash with deeply held convictions about respecting South Africa's varied cultural traditions. The development appeared particularly awkward for the ANC, which over nearly a...

Mike Huckabee is a very popular guy, but not so much in conservative Republican circles. Most people I speak with who are more than one issue voters, i.e. abortion, see Mike Huckabee as too liberal for their tastes. No, Mike Huckabee is a popular guy in Democratic circles. They want to run against Mike and are both building him up and preparing to take him down. It is best summed up in the words of Ed, from Ed’s Blog on Democrats.org. He writes: I think no matter who the Democrats run, they can beat Huckabee in a general election. It...

Absolutely brutal YouTube video regarding Mike Huckabee's advocating for the release of convicted rapist Wayne DuMond who went on to rape again and murder. Mike DukakabeeNational Review has the full story behind all this.

In 1985, DuMond was convicted of the rape of a 17-year-old girl with a connection to then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton: She was the governor's distant cousin and the daughter of a major campaign contributor... When Huckabee became governor in 1996, he expressed doubts about DuMond's guilt and said he was considering commuting his sentence to time served. After the victim and her supporters protested, Huckabee decided against commutation. But in 1997, according to the Kansas City Star, Huckabee wrote a letter to DuMond saying "my desire is that you be released from prison." Less than a year later, DuMond was...

BOSTON -- A Boston attorney once considered by ABC television to star in “The Bachelor” is, according to prosecutors, a serial rapist. Gary Zerola is charged with the rape and attempted rape of two 19-year-old women in 2004 and 2006.

Rick G over at Lone Star Times provides a relentlessly honest look at the case of rapist/murderer/illegal immigrant Jose Medellin and the Bush Administrations concerns vis a vis the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. I highly recommend reading the whole thing if you want to be fully informed on this increasingly contentious case. At issue is whether or not Medellin - a man undoubtedly guilty of a horrible crime - shold have his case reconsidered because the Texas authorities did not provide access for Medellin to the Mexican consulate prior to his trial and conviction. Texas is holding that since...

No right to a painless death penaltyPosted: October 3, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern When Michael Anthony Taylor kidnapped 15-year-old Ann Harrison while she was waiting for her school bus, then raped and brutally murdered her, he didn't seem to care about the pain and agony she suffered at his hand. But now that Taylor has been convicted and sentenced to capital punishment by lethal injection, he's suddenly concerned with how much pain he might feel at his deserved death. Taylor claims that Missouri's triple-chemical process of lethal injection exposes him to a risk that if he is not sufficiently unconscious...

With his son facing a 14-year prison stretch for multiple sexual assaults, Oakland City Council President Ignacio De La Fuente has gone on the attack against the Police Department - accusing investigators of blowing the case out of proportion because they wanted to destroy his political career as he embarked on a campaign for mayor.

Vigilantes attacked a Beaver County man Tuesday because he allegedly tried to lure two children into his Economy Village home, Ambridge police said. Police who found the bleeding man, Kenneth Newingham, outside his home later charged him with attempted luring.

Famous "hard case" of pregnant nine year old called into question MANAGUA, August 16, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Known to the world only as "Rosita," a nine year old Nicaraguan child impregnated by a rapist several years ago became the international poster girl for the pro-abortion movement. Since 2003 her "hard case" pregnancy has been used to promote the cause of "theraputic abortion" in Nicaragua and worldwide, inspiring numerous articles, petition drives, and even a documentary featured on the cable TV channel Cinemax. Now, media sources in Nicaragua have uncovered the fact that "Rosita" has a living child (different from the...

Police have charged an Albemarle County man in two attacks that were previously linked by DNA to a serial rapist responsible for seven sexual assaults over the past decade.

MOUNT HOLLY — An illegal Brazilian immigrant living in Delran has been charged in a series of sexual assaults and attacks in Moorestown and Massachusetts, authorities said yesterday. Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi described Mar-celo G.

YOUTUBE SING-ALONG - BILL CLINTON THE SEXUAL PREDATOR Several months ago, I began putting presentations on YouTube, including parody songs. One of them was a Bill Clinton sexual predator song to Billy Joel's YOU'RE ALWAYS A WOMAN TO ME. On several YouTubes, it has shown that different sites have linked or embedded one of my videos. There is one curious one, however, that I don't understand. Obviously, the sexual predator song is not going to be linked on Hillary's government site. Here are the clicks from outside YouTube. Does this simply mean that the song was accessed from a...

Former President May Still Be Ultimate Power Broker (CBS) HARLEM -- At about 12:45 p.m. on Thursday, 13 floors above 125th Street off Fifth in Harlem, the former President of the United States walks into a packed double conference-sized room with not enough room on the riser in the back for all the TV cameras. And only two or three of the cameras are from local news or the usual networks. Many are from business outlets, and half are from international news agencies, particularly outfits that cover Latin America. Because standing there with Mr. Clinton are Frank Giustra, one of...

By SUSAN SHARP sharp@lafollettepress.com Elk Valley resident Scotty Hatfield isn’t sorry for trying to kill a man. Hatfield’s only regret is he didn’t succeed that December 2005 night when he felt a moral obligation to take the law into his own hands. H atfield recently was tried by a jury of his peers and found guilty of reckless aggravated assault and reckless endangerment. The original indictment charged him with three counts of aggravated assault and one count of felony reckless endangerment. Jurors ultimately chose to convict him on the lesser charges.

Islamabad - A tribal council in central Pakistan has ordered the surrender of the wife of a rapist to the child victim's father for retribution, media reports said on Tuesday. The council, called a punchayat, was convened in a village near the Punjab Province city of Multan, located 380km south of Islamabad, after police refused to register a case against a local man for assaulting the minor.

A BRAIN-DAMAGED man who repeatedly raped a 15-year-old girl will be imprisoned for three years, a court has ruled. But her friends who drugged her, failed to help her when asked, and one of whom also raped her have so far escaped prosecution, a judge said. The man, Kaisar Shlimon Malik-Kheyou, suffered frontal lobe damage in a car accident more than 10 years ago. His barrister, Graham Turnbull, had told Parramatta District Court at a sentencing hearing in December that Malik-Kheyou was manipulated by others and seen "as a cash cow" after an injury payout. In July 2001 the victim...

Flirtatious females are Bill Clinton's greatest security threat! New York, Jan 25 (ANI): Former President Bill Clinton is understandably on his guard whenever there's a flirty female in his vicinity, and recently had to get his security detail to keep one especially arduous fan away from him.

UNION, Mo. — The hulking pizza manager accused of snatching two boys in Missouri is so ashamed of his arrest, he can't face his own mom and dad. "I don't know how I'm going to explain myself to my parents," said Michael Devlin, who is accused of kidnapping Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby, in an exclusive interview with The New York Post. "It's much easier talking to a stranger about these things than your own parents."

New laws intended to make life safer for children The Ohio legislature dropped the hammer on sex offenders during the two-year session that just ended, particularly on those who prey on kids. Their work culminated last week in the passage of a law that sets tougher mandatory minimum sentences for rapists whose victims are younger than 13. Lawmakers weary of stories about abuse of children, often by repeat offenders, acted in a number of areas. While many of those efforts were already under way, the desire for stronger punishments got a boost in March when a storm erupted over Franklin...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - If Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton runs for the White House in 2008 as expected, her biggest strategic decision will be how to use one of her most powerful campaign resources -- her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Hardly the typical political spouse, the former president is a magnetic presence on the stump, with well-honed instincts and fund-raising abilities. He knows the pitfalls of a campaign and can easily rouse the Democratic faithful to action. But his involvement also raises plenty of questions. Would his high-voltage style overshadow his wife, a less electric presence on the campaign trail?...

HOUSTON - A rapist who preys on young men has struck five times in the Houston area since mid-September, and police said Monday there may be even more victims, but they are too ashamed to come forward.

LUCKNOW, India ? A man in northern India will be publicly slapped 51 times as punishment after village elders found him guilty of raping a neighbor who is deaf and mute, a village chief said Friday. The elders stepped in to review the case because local police had failed to arrest the accused man after a complaint was filed by the victim's husband, village head Badr-ul Hasan told The Associated Press. "Police told us that since the woman is deaf and mute, she is not able to narrate the incident," Hasan said. Village courts generally settle land disputes and other...

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Six years ago, convicted sex offender Kenneth Glenn Hinson was released from prison after a judge rejected prosecutors' pleas that he be committed indefinitely. That same judge was to preside Thursday over a preliminary hearing for Hinson, now charged with kidnapping and raping two teenage girls in an underground room behind his home. Circuit Judge Edward Cottingham's decision in 2001 allowed for the eventual release of Hinson, 48, who was arrested again after a four-day manhunt in March. The girls were sexually assaulted and left bound inside the room, concealed under a shed, but managed to free...
