Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called for federal law enforcement officials to investigate foreign adversaries who are funding social unrest in the United States. Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while discussing a new report from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) titled: “Contagious Disruption: How CCP Influence and Radical Ideologies Threaten Critical Infrastructure and Campuses Across the United States.” Cruz said that the report made clear that America’s adversaries were “funding the mayhem we are seeing on our college campuses” and that it was an attempt by them to “destroy this country.” “The Department of Justice should be investigating this, the FBI should be investigating this,” he said. “We’ve got money coming from communist China, behind these protests behind these anti-American anti-Israel protests. We’ve got money coming from organizations that have close ties to designated terrorist organizations. And so, whether it is Hamas and Hezbollah pushing this, whether it is affiliated allies of theirs pushing this, whether it is Iran pushing this, or whether it’s Communist China pushing this, the FBI ought to be all over it.” Cruz said that foreign students who are here on visas should be deported if they are displaying anti-American behavior like burning the American flag or chanting “Death to America.” WATCH: A new report has exposed how the Chinese Communist Party has funded the pro-Hamas, anti-American riots on college campuses. This proves what we’ve known all along: these college protests are designed to advance Cultural Marxism and tear apart the U.S.https://t.co/RFRXgW0guB pic.twitter.com/b7QjCcHVxz — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 15, 2024

Paris Hilton responded to criticism after she posted a video on TikTok of her young kids’ forward-facing car seat setup in the back of her van.  In a post on the social media site, Hilton posted a new video of her son Phoenix, 1, and daughter London, 6 months old, in their car seats — now properly positioned, with both babies facing towards the back of the van. “Thanks for the mom advice, I’m new to this,” Hilton said in the new clip. “The #CutesieCrew is now ready for take off in the #SlivingMom van.” “No one is perfect,” she added to one follower. “Love you.” Hilton also responded to the criticism, telling another follower, “I am a new mom and just learning as I go. So, I appreciate advice when it is kind as I’m just trying to be the best mom I can be,” TMZ noted. The new post comes after the socialite deleted an earlier video of her two kids all dressed up on their way to go somewhere on Mother’s Day.  In the clip, her kids’ car seats are both facing to the front with a latch and a belt, Page Six reported.  Paris Hilton admits ‘no one is perfect’ after car seat safety concerns https://t.co/7u1CQbXByK — Page Six (@PageSix) May 15, 2024 “Please hire someone to install car seats,” one social media user commented. Another person offered to, “come help [her] with the straps” to keep the “babies as safe as can be.” While a third person said, “Please dble chk [sic] the car seat manu’s recs on if you can use the latch & belt at the same time. Usually hard no. Also, rear facing until [2 years old] is usually law.” Others simply called it “so unsafe” and “so dangerous” with the kids facing forward. However, there were those who defended Hilton’s setup and pointed out that her kids were “not strapped into a typical car” and were “fine,” labeling her execution “perfect.” In CA the current law states that “children under 2 years of age shall ride in a rear-facing car seat unless the child weighs 40 or more pounds OR is 40 or more inches tall. The child shall be secured in a manner that complies with the height and weight limits specified by the manufacturer of the car seat.” Last year, Paris made a surprise announcement that she and husband Carter Reum were going to be parents again via surrogacy after they first welcomed their son via a surrogate a year ago. She and Reum tied the knot in 2021. In a post on Instagram, she included a photo of a little pink outfit with heart-shaped sunglasses and a bunny. The name embroidered on the outfit read, “London.” Hilton captioned the post, “Thankful for my baby girl,” along with a pink heart and baby emoji.

A Minnesota teachers union has reportedly expelled one of its members, a school counselor who blew the whistle on the school district’s transgender policies. Elementary student counselor Christina Barton received a letter from her union, the Rochester Education Association informing her that she was being kicked out, according to local newspaper the Post Bulletin. The union accused Barton of violating the National Education Association’s “code of ethics,” saying she “mischaracterized Rochester Public Schools policies and practices regarding LGBTQ+ students, spoke negatively of fellow union members, and spread misinformation about transgender youth.” “REA recognizes that you are free to hold whatever viewpoints you wish regarding LGBTQ+ students or any other matter, but viewpoints are not free from consequences, especially if they cause or contribute to unprofessional behavior,” the letter read. The union’s president, Vince Wagner said the union’s executive board voted to expel Barton earlier this month. “We had a lot of discussion and deliberation,” Wagner told the Post Bulletin. “It wasn’t something we undertook lightly.” Barton previously criticized the school district for not informing parents when their children change their gender identity. She spoke to the school board twice on March 19 and again on May 7, the day before the union expelled her, expressing her concerns about the district’s guidelines on trans-identifying students. “How would a parent know how to request such information if they aren’t aware their child is struggling with gender dysphoria? How would a parent be able to care for and support their student if the school never reached out to them,” she said at one of the board meetings. Last month, Wagner, the union president read a statement during a school board meeting expressing the union’s explicit support for the district’s transgender guidelines. He referenced the staff at Barton’s elementary school but did not mention her by name. Barton also spoke to the media about her concerns. “It seems that in a culture where ‘all are welcome’ and ‘kindness abides and bullying isn’t allowed’ that only those employees who succumb to censorship and intimidation are welcome,” Barton said, according to the group American Experiment, which published a photo of the union’s expulsion letter. “Following my public statement to the school board on March 19, I have experienced countless retaliatory responses that are unprofessional, inaccurate, and very hurtful to me as a person as well as a concerned counselor and parent who is merely trying to advocate in the best interests of kids and on behalf of all parents,” Barton said. “I love my students with all of my heart and soul; always have, always will.”
