Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents busted three illegal aliens accused of raping children in Massachusetts just days after the state’s Democratic governor said she would not be assisting with federal efforts to deport illegal aliens. ICE agents based in Boston, Massachusetts, arrested three illegal aliens, each of whom have been charged or convicted with raping children, just after Democrats in the state voiced their opposition to President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to deport illegal aliens en masse. NEW VIDEO: “No, absolutely not,” @Maura_Healey responded when MSNBC’s anchor Lawrence O’Donnell asked if she would allow the State Police to assist in the deportations. #mapoli pic.twitter.com/k2ou6n3Sch — Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance (@MassFiscal) November 16, 2024 One of those individuals, Alexandre Romao De Oliveira, was previously convicted in his native country of Brazil for raping a child in 2022. He illegally crossed into the United States in 2022 before being arrested this week in Methuen, Massachusetts. ICE also arrested Guatemalan national Mynor Stiven De Paz-Munoz, who was charged with forcibly raping a child and held by the Great Barrington Police Department. ICE says that the detainer placed on Paz-Munoz was ignored and he was not transferred to federal custody. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Mynor Stiven De Paz-Munoz stands accused of horrifically victimizing a Massachusetts child and represents a significant threat to our neighborhoods,” acting Field Office Director Patricia H.

The Berkshire County Jail honored ICE’s detainer for the illegal alien. The arrests come just after Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey said that the state police will “absolutely not” cooperate with federal immigration enforcement agents as they attempt to carry out President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Healey also explained how Democrat states like hers might fight back against Trump’s deportation agenda in the courts. “Some realities need to be noted and that is in 2016, we had a different situation in the courts, and I am sure there may be litigation ahead, there is a lot of other ways people are going to act and need to act for the sake of their states and residents,” the governor stated. “There’s regulatory authority and executive powers and the like, there’s legislation also within our state.” “So I think the key here is that, you know, every tool in the tool box has got to be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents and protect our states and to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law as a basic principle,” Healey added.

It’s hard to believe Dancing With The Stars season 33 is nearly over. We’ve watched some incredible performances this season, celebrated the 500th episode, and watched two Olympians make their way to the finals. It’s been a fun group to watch, and we hate seeing it end. Each season, when the field narrows, it’s hard to see our favorites eliminated. We know that not everyone can win, but it still hurts. It seems the producers have the same feelings as us. In this week’s semi-finals, they announced no one would be eliminated. Five couples will compete in the finals for the second time in DWTS history. It’s exciting but nerve-wracking because everyone will have to dance as if the Mirrorball Trophy Depends on it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dancing With The Stars #DWTS (@dancingwiththestars) Five Couples In The ‘DWTS’ Finals Is Pretty Exciting During the semi-final round, the couples tried their best to score as high as they could. Chandler Kinney, Brandon Armstrong, Joey Graziadei, and Jenna Johnson tied at the top with 58 points. Right behind them were Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten with 57 points. Then came Danny Amendola and Witney Carson with 54 points, which left Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold at the bottom with 53 points. These are all respectable scores and show a tremendous amount of growth. DWTS shared the news about the final episode on Instagram. Some fans can’t wait. Like this person, “Joey and Chandler are deserving of the top two (in no specific order), but I love Stephen because he is just the most genuine joy. I will miss not seeing him perform every week!” And this one, “Sooo happy for Rylee making her first finale!! So excited to cheer on her and Stephen.” But this person thinks five is a lot, “Too many people in the finale. I get that we love them all but it’s a competition! Didn’t it used to be 3 finalists? Then 4…. Now 5? Pretty soon are we just never going to eliminate anyone?” Many fans just want to see them dance. “The more the merrier!!!! All of them have worked so hard & have improved so much.

'This is a sophisticated operation, it’s not some guy that’s going down to the local pawn shop'

The pair pledged to collaborate with Trump’s transition team

'Stop touching child wieners!'

'And the time to fix it is immediately'

John Adams demonstrated what a transfer of power ought to look like in America when he handed over the presidency to his successor, Thomas Jefferson.   The 1800 presidential race between Adams and Jefferson was an intense battle between two friends-turned-adversaries. But despite a contentious press and a heated political climate, neither the Federalists nor the Democratic-Republicans saw the election as the last of its kind.   Democrats today, however, seem to have a much bleaker view on the future of democracy in America. Throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, prominent voices in the Democratic Party asserted that the 2024 election would be the final one the U.S. would see if Republican nominee Donald Trump won.  It is strange, then, that in the election’s aftermath, Democrats keep stressing the importance of a “peaceful transfer of power” come Jan. 20, 2025.   If the Nov. 5 election truly was the last of its kind because Trump defeated Democrat Kamala Harris, then how are Democrats so willing to give up power to the one who supposedly will destroy fundamental features of American democracy? They routinely compared Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, perhaps sparking at least two assassination attempts. In a speech delivered a couple days after Trump’s victory, though, President Joe Biden promised “a peaceful and orderly transition” to the second Trump administration.  Biden did this after months and even years of characterizing Trump as a tyrant or fascist, then dropping out of the race amid discouraging polls so his vice president, Harris, could try to prevent Trump’s return to the White House.  BREAKING – Biden says will ensure 'peaceful and orderly' transition to Trump https://t.co/GZiqFxGfi0 pic.twitter.com/SKHyhPf9Rz— Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) November 7, 2024 “Yesterday, I spoke with President-Elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory,” Biden said Nov. 7. “And I assured him that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That’s what the American people deserve.”  Today I met with President-elect Trump in the Oval Office.I look forward to leading a smooth transition and peaceful transfer of power. As I told the President-elect, my team is committed to doing everything we can to ensure the incoming administration has what they need. pic.twitter.com/vDri4HZFE3— President Biden (@POTUS) November 13, 2024 That’s quite the shift from the alarmist message from Biden, Harris, and other Democrats on the campaign trail.  In an interview on NBC’s “Today” late last year, former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., warned that a dictatorship was imminent if Trump is elected president.  “A vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever get to vote in,” Cheney told co-anchor Savannah Guthrie on Dec. 4, 2023. “A vote for Donald Trump is a vote against the Constitution.”  During a Harris campaign rally Nov. 4, veteran talk show host and personality Oprah Winfrey said: “We don’t get to sit this one out … it is entirely possible that we will never have the opportunity to cast a ballot again.”  Just now: Oprah says that if Trump wins, "it is entirely possible that we will never have the opportunity to cast a ballot again"Friendly reminder that no one voted to make Kamala Harris the democrat party's nominee. Every accusation is a confession. pic.twitter.com/Je79k6Jp1i— Clint Russell (@LibertyLockPod) November 5, 2024 Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk was among Trump’s growing coalition of supporters who said the opposite was true.  “I think this is the last election if Trump doesn’t win,” Musk told host Joe Rogan on the Nov. 4 episode of his popular podcast.  Vote for @realDonaldTrump or the Dems will legalize so many illegals in swing states that this will be the last real election in America. @JoeRogan agrees. pic.twitter.com/AtPVm3lSr2— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 5, 2024 As Inauguration Day approaches, Americans should keep a close watch on what exactly a “peaceful transfer of power” entails. After years of casting Trump as a dangerous bigot, racist, and Nazi, some left-wing leaders and media outlets appear to have altered their course, at least for the time being.  Two of Trump’s most relentless critics, “Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, met with the once and future president last Friday at his Florida estate.  “Many things were discussed, and I very much appreciated the fact that they wanted to have open communication,” Trump told Fox News Digital on Monday, referring to MSNBC’s Scarborough and Brzezinski. “In many ways, it’s too bad that it wasn’t done long ago.”    The media, Trump said, is “very important to the long-term success of the United States of America.”  “The meeting ended in a very positive manner, and we agreed to speak in the future,” he said of his session with Scarborough and Brzezinski.  The question that remains, however, is whether the Left was lying to Americans only about the stakes of the election, or whether the Left is lying now about a peaceful transfer of power.  The post Democrats Sold 2024 as ‘Last Election,’ but Now Promise ‘Peaceful Transfer’ of Power?  appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Penny Trial: Who Woulda Thunk 'Self Medicating' Schizophrenia With Synthetic Pot Was a Bad Thing?

Donald Trump has made an impressive political career of proving the D.C. consultant class wrong. In 2016, he won the presidency by running a campaign nearly the opposite of what the infamous RNC “autopsy” report had prescribed four years earlier. In 2020, he came just 42,000 votes short of winning again, despite facing unprecedented obstacles from a global pandemic and its aftermath.And now, Trump has once again shown his instincts are far better than those who claim to be “professionals.” In an election where most pundits were urging Republicans to hyper-focus on standard issues such as the economy and immigration, Trump instead went on offense on one of Democrats’ greatest vulnerabilities: their far-left stance on transgender issues. That decision has propelled him back to the White House.If you don’t trust the polling, then you should at least trust the results.In the final few weeks, exposing Kamala Harris’ transgender radicalism became the closing message of the Trump campaign. According to AdImpact, Republicans spent at least $215 million total on ads highlighting the radical consequences of the Harris-Walz agenda: male athletes in women’s sports, sex-change surgeries and puberty blockers for minor children, ideological indoctrination in public schools, and, most visibly, taxpayer-funded sex-change operations for prisoners and illegal immigrants. One report suggests Trump focused his ads more on these issues than on the economy, housing, and immigration combined.This strategy flew directly in the face of conventional wisdom. In the run-up to the election, politicos from both parties argued that the transgender issue only catered to the GOP base and wouldn’t resonate with the wider electorate. Yet outside their D.C. bubble, the issue was indeed resonating. For anyone with a pulse on the average American voter, this shouldn’t have come as a surprise.For years, polling has shown that Democrats’ transgender stances are extremely unpopular. For example, a 2023 NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found voters opposed to allowing minors to receive “gender transition-related health care” by 37 points, even if a parent or guardian consents. A Yahoo News survey this month showed Americans believe that the left’s gender-ideology agenda has gone too far by a 24-point margin. And a YouGov poll found voters in swing states agree with the Republican position on gender and bathrooms by margins of 16 points or more.Such lopsided numbers aren’t just driven by Republican respondents, either. Large numbers of independents, young people, suburban women, black voters, and Latinos all side with conservatives on these issues.But if you don’t trust the polling, then you should at least trust the results. The first general election cycle focused this heavily and forthrightly on transgender issues was in 2021. There, the transgender debate helped propel Gov. Glenn Youngkin in the final weeks to his shocking upset in Virginia. Meanwhile around the country, dozens of states were beginning to pass laws to prohibit males in girls’ sports and restrict gender transition procedures for minors. When South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) decided to veto a transgender sports bill early in the year, a massive backlash followed. To Noem’s credit, she changed course and signed a similar bill in the following legislative session.In 2022, opposition to the transgender agenda continued to gain momentum. Yet more states took action, including in Texas, where Gov. Greg Abbott declared gender transitioning children to be child abuse. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis won a resounding re-election after a first term defined in large part by his embrace of cultural conservatism. This set him apart from many other GOP candidates nationwide, most of whom barely used gender issues in ads — to their detriment. In a midterm where Republicans largely underperformed, failing to take advantage of one of the Democrats’ biggest vulnerabilities turned out to be a significant mistake.Of course, that was not the case this year. Beyond Trump’s own campaign, numerous other candidates went on offense on gender issues, spending hundreds of millions of dollars in Senate and House races nationwide. This was a smart strategy, not only to energize the Republican base but also to appeal to persuadable voters. According to data collected by my organization’s political arm, American Principles Project PAC, our own ads on transgender issues we have run in campaigns since 2019 have consistently moved tens of thousands of swing voters from Democratic to GOP candidates.In this year’s election, one can also trace the potential effect these ads had through polling. For example, in Ohio’s U.S. Senate race, the Senate Leadership Fund began running ads highlighting Democrat Sherrod Brown’s record on transgender issues in early September. Around the same time, Republican Bernie Moreno began to rise in the polls, eventually pulling even with Brown after trailing by six points when the ads first started, according to the FiveThirtyEight average. Similar movement can be seen in many other races where such ads were aired.In short, there can be little doubt that Republicans’ culture war offensive was a decisive element of their victory. And with Democrats now on the back foot, the GOP should press its advantage. Force Democrats to take votes in Congress on keeping men out of women’s sports and protecting kids from dangerous transgender medical procedures. Take executive action on these issues and dare Democratic leaders in blue states to sue. As long as the left continues to stick to these unpopular positions, they will continue to be a liability for them.Twice now, Donald Trump has bucked D.C. elites and been rewarded for doing so. Perhaps it’s time for those elites to finally start taking notes.

An underage high school student was sexually assaulted in a bathroom by a knife-wielding 19-year-old who had trespassed onto campus in a suburb of Dallas, according to police. The incident unfolded on Tuesday afternoon on the campus of Mesquite ISD's Horn High School in the city of Mesquite, Texas. 'The mother of the victim had warned police that Elijah had threatened her child before the attack and said that he would show up on the campus.' Mesquite police said that the man was able to enter the school despite security measures because someone inside opened a locked door for him. Once inside, he allegedly sought out a female student whom he had previously had a relationship with and forced her into a bathroom. Police said in a press release that the man assaulted the victim and "used a weapon to force her into a bathroom, where the sexual assault occurred." The suspect ran off from the school after a teacher realized he wasn't a student and was later arrested at his home in Seagoville, police said. They identified him as 19-year-old Synnaiz Elijah. A spokesperson for Mesquite ISD explained the security measures taken at the school. “Exterior doors are locked for a reason. There are only two authorized entrances for visitors to enter Horn High School,” read the statement. “All exterior doors are checked four times every day by campus staff to ensure they are locked and closing properly. There are three full-time School Resource Officers and three security guards on campus every day.” Elijah is charged with aggravated assault of a child. An arrest affidavit said that the mother of the victim had warned police that Elijah had threatened her child before the attack and said that he would show up on the campus. She even went to the school to notify campus police just hours before the assault allegedly occurred. The school said in a letter to parents that the student who allegedly allowed Elijah in to the school would be punished, but some parents were angry that they weren't notified about the incident more quickly. Mesquite has a population of about 150,000 residents. A news video about the arrest can be viewed on the YouTube channel for KDFW-TV. Like Blaze News?
