The administration claims the terror the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is inflicting on the city of Aurora, Colorado, is exaggerated. However, there is a lot of evidence that it is downplayed and not exaggerated. What did people think when they saw all these single military-age men pouring into the country? Some inevitably had to […] The post Americans Head for Aurora to Protect People from Tren de Aragua? appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Famed author J.K. Rowling slammed biological male “cheat” Valentina Petrillo after he qualified to run against biological women in the Paralympic games in Paris. Rowling’s viral post compared 51-year-old male Petrillo competing against women to that of famed cyclist Lance Armstrong who had to give back his medals after he was found to have been taking a drug that gave him an advantage in winning his races. On Monday, the biological male runner qualified for the Women’s 400m T12 semi-finals at the Paris Paralympic Games. “Why all the anger about the inspirational Petrillo?” Rowling wrote sarcastically to her millions of followers. “The cheat community has never had this kind of visibility!” Why all the anger about the inspirational Petrillo? The cheat community has never had this kind of visibility! Out and proud cheats like Petrillo prove the era of cheat-shaming is over. What a role model! I say we give Lance Armstrong his medals back and move on. #Cheats #NoShame pic.twitter.com/bvqhs3DexI — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) September 2, 2024 “Out and proud cheats like Petrillo prove the era of cheat-shaming is over,” she added, again sarcastically. “What a role model! I say we give Lance Armstrong his medals back and move on. #Cheats #NoShame.” “The Harry Potter” author’s post included an image of the man dressed in female runner’s attire. Olympic medalist Sharron Davies MBE also reacted to Petrillo being allowed to compete against females, noting how unfair it was. Her post  included more images of Petrillo on the track competing against females. “So we ban Lance Armstrong for taking drugs which will give him a small but important advantage over his male rivals because it’s cheating but we let 51 year old male Valentina Petrillo have a huge advantage with no issue at all against female athletes!” Davies post read. “Why is this being allowed?” REDUXX magazine posted that, “Valentina Petrillo, a father of two, previously won 11 national titles in the men’s category before beginning to identify as a ‘woman.'” Others on social media said it wasn’t just that Petrillo was cheating because he was a biological male competing against women, but that he was not dealing with the same sight impairments like his female counterparts who were in the competition. “Notice that the women around Petrillo are running with guides because of their sight impairments,” the person noted, along with video. “His [Petrillo] sight is good enough he doesn’t need a guide A cheating f**king man destroying women’s sports.” While the Women’s Right’s Network called Petrillo’s inclusion “A RACE TO THE BOTTOM.” The post noted that “Petrillo has previously won medals running in men’s events. Now that he’s 50 and out of shape, he uses his male physiological advantage against female runners.” “A woman has already lost a deserved place at the Paralympics because of the ego and shamelessness of this man,” it added. “Now, women are likely to lose out on a chance in the final and podium spots, along with medals, not against a better female runner, but against a cheating man.” Related: J.K.

The U.S. Department of Justice seized the plane of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro on Monday after determining that it was illegally obtained. U.S. officials seized the aircraft in the Dominican Republic and transferred it to the Southern District of Florida due to violations of U.S. export control and sanctions laws, the DOJ said in a statement. Maduro’s Dassault Falcon 900EX aircraft, purchased for roughly $13 million, was illegally purchased sometime between late 2022 and early 2023 by Maduro’s associates from a company in Florida. The aircraft was illegally exported out of the U.S. and since then has “flown almost exclusively to and from a military base in Venezuela and has been used for the benefit of Maduro and his representatives, including to transport Maduro on visits to other countries.” The DOJ noted that sanctions signed by former President Donald Trump “prohibits U.S. persons from engaging in transactions with persons who have acted or purported to act directly or indirectly for or on behalf of, the Government of Venezuela, including as a member of the Maduro regime.” CNN noted that the plane, which has been described as “Venezuela’s equivalent to Air Force One,” was undergoing maintenance in the Dominican Republic when it was seized. “This sends a message all the way up to the top,” a U.S. official told CNN. “Seizing the foreign head of state’s plane is unheard-of for criminal matters. We’re sending a clear message here that no one is above the law, no one is above the reach of US sanctions.” U.S. Attorney Markenzy Lapointe for the Southern District of Florida said the seizure illustrated “our unrelenting commitment to enforcing U.S. export control laws and imposing U.S. sanctions for any violations.” “This successful seizure was the result of planning, coordination, and execution by the United States government, with invaluable assistance by the authorities in the Dominican Republic,” he said. “Our office, along with our law enforcement partners, will continue to work to forfeit this plane and all other assets that circumvent the law.”

This is a pretty cool story

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Brazil’s government, under President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has continued to use the social media platform X, even as it enforces a widespread ban against its citizens. This ban, initially enforced to curb “misinformation” and “hate speech,” supposedly aimed to protect public discourse and uphold “democracy.” However, the persistent activity on X by Lula’s party PT Brasil, and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) starkly contrasts with the punitive measures threatened against ordinary citizens. They’re allowed to talk but the people aren’t allowed to talk back. The issue is not just in the ban itself but in the implications of its enforcement. The government’s decision to silence potential critics on the platform while allowing pro-government voices to remain active raises serious concerns about fairness and equality before the law. This selective censorship effectively monopolizes the digital conversation, ensuring that only the political elite can disseminate information and engage with the public on X, while opposition voices are stifled. By controlling who can speak and who can’t, the government is not just regulating a platform but is orchestrating the narrative. This creates an environment where “misinformation” can be selectively defined as anything that contradicts the official government position, regardless of its factual accuracy. Such actions compromise the foundational democratic principle that the public should have access to a plurality of views, especially in a digital age where social media platforms are critical arenas for political discourse.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Alexandre de Moraes, a Supreme Court justice in Brazil, has modified his harsh stance on using VPNs to access X, though he is keeping speech restrictions in place. These VPN measures were part of a broader conflict involving tech platforms and censorship, centered around Elon Musk’s social media network, X, which was blocked under Moraes’ orders for failing to comply with censorship demands and to appoint a legal representative in the country. The court had initially banned users from using VPN services to access X. VPNs shield users’ identities by hiding their IP addresses. This action placed Brazil in the same league as countries known for open and stringent controls over internet freedom, such as China and Russia, and those that ban VPNs completely, like Iran and Iraq. The revision in the policy was posted on the Supreme Court’s website, temporarily halting these restrictions and allowing X Brazil to argue its position. The alteration in the directive comes amidst a broader dialogue on the implications of digital surveillance and censorship in a country that views itself as a robust democracy. The imposition of a daily fine of R$ 50,000 (approximately $8,000) for individuals circumventing the ban via VPNs aims to ensure adherence to judicial orders. This legal skirmish between Musk and Brazilian authorities escalated when Moraes not only suspended operations of X but also froze Starlink assets, a key internet service provider.

Cam Newton, a former NFL quarterback who won an MVP award and played in the Super Bowl, became a household name by facing off against defenders eager to knock his head off. However, in a recent interview on his “Funky Friday” podcast, Newton revealed that the thought of marriage frightens him more than the prospect of being sacked by a 300-pound NFL lineman.Newton told Dr. Cheyenne Bryant, a life coach and self-described “psychology expert,” that he currently has eight children with three women and wants more. He admitted, “My desire to get married is lower than my fear of getting divorced.” Bryant responded by criticizing him, saying he is creating broken homes and selfishly depriving his children of his presence.Marriage is about two becoming one, and you don’t need to be an expert to understand that it’s easier to shape two young saplings than two mature oak trees.The saddest part of the entire exchange wasn’t Newton’s comments; it was the fact his perspective is so common in American culture.The share of Americans over 40 who have never married rose from 6% in 1960 to 25% in 2021. The median age at first marriage increased from 23 for men and 20 for women in 1960 to 30 and 28, respectively, in 2023. Married-couple households have declined from 74% in 1960 to 47% in 2023. Roughly 40% of American children are now born to unmarried parents, reflecting a trend where adults put their desires over the needs of children.Progressives often argue that financial resources, not parental relationships, are what matter in raising children. However, decades of research contradicts this belief, showing that children in nuclear families perform better across various outcomes compared to those raised in other family structures. Children with both parents are more likely to attend college and less likely to live in poverty or go to prison. In contrast, the absence of a father correlates with higher rates of poverty, teen pregnancy, youth crime, and substance abuse.This shouldn’t surprise anyone. A man who stands before God and family to commit to one woman for the rest of his natural life is exhibiting a much higher level of commitment than one whose only connection to a woman is the child they share. This is why marriage is the greatest structural enabler of father involvement.Marriage also accounts for the duties and obligations husbands and wives have toward one another. The pledge to uphold the marital union “in sickness and in health” is not part of any co-parenting vow for a reason.Simply put, putting “marriage before carriage” benefits everyone in the household. That is one reason every American should become familiar with the “Success Sequence” that shows 97% of Millennials born between 1980 and 1984 who finished school, secured employment, and married before having children were not poor by their mid-30s. That message is tangible, achievable, and measurable. Newton raised another important point in his conversation with Bryant that received far less attention than his comments about wanting more children. He questioned why a 41-year-old relationship coach like Bryant has never married or had children. Bryant, who revealed she has been engaged four times, responded that people should take their time in choosing a “life partner” instead of “rushing to the altar just to become a divorcée or baby mama.”Desiring to marry one person and stay with them for life is admirable, but society cannot thrive if adults wait until their mid-40s to feel ready for marriage. Social scientists view the “cornerstone” model of marriage as the foundation of a life that a man and woman, usually in their 20s, build together. In contrast, the “capstone” model delays marriage until after achieving career success and financial stability. Bryant’s approach —waiting until everything is perfect before marrying — fits what I call the “tombstone” model, where people marry with more of their life behind them than ahead.This approach is not ideal for those who want children, and it may not even suit those seeking a long-lasting relationship. Marriage is about two becoming one, and you don’t need to be an expert to understand that it’s easier to shape two young saplings than two mature oak trees.Cam Newton is a multimillionaire. He was one of the best players of his generation. He can give his children the world, but I’m sure his presence means much more to them than any presents they ask for. The same is true for every parent. Most Americans will never be as rich as a professional athlete. That doesn’t stop us from giving our children the ultimate MVP (most valuable privilege): a loving household with a married father and mother committed to one another and their children. That is far more valuable than anything money can buy.
