Ever since Roe v. Wade was overturned and abortion was returned to the states, the media has been searching for stories of pregnant women to use as pawns to demonize those against abortion. This week, The Washington Post published a story about a Nevada woman who had a miscarriage and was arrested and charged with manslaughter. The story was widely shared on social media, with New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof amplifying that narrative. “A struggling Nevada mom suffers a miscarriage,” Kristof wrote on X. “Then the police show up and arrest her for manslaughter, and she’s sentenced to 2.5-8 years in prison. Only when a pro bono lawyer steps up and appeals does a judge reverse the conviction and set her free to return to her children. This is family values? Think about that as you vote.” A struggling Nevada mom suffers a miscarriage. Then the police show up and arrest her for manslaughter, and she’s sentenced to 2.5-8 years in prison. Only when a pro bono lawyer steps up and appeals does a judge reverse the conviction and set her free to return to her children.… — Nicholas Kristof (@NickKristof) October 29, 2024 It appears Kristof, like many others, didn’t read the full Post story, which explains – albeit while attempting to downplay the situation – that Patience Frazier did things intended to end her pregnancy and admitted as much to law enforcement. For starters, Frazier’s arrest took place in 2018, four years before Roe was overturned. Abortion is also legal in Nevada, even now that Roe is no longer in place. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ When Frazier first learned she was pregnant, she knew she was in trouble because the baby was not her boyfriend’s and she feared being kicked out of his home. A few days later, she scheduled an abortion, but she didn’t have a working car and couldn’t find a ride to the abortion facility before she was 24 weeks pregnant – which is when the baby would be viable and Nevada law bans abortion. At that point, Frazier would have been in her third trimester. She didn’t see any doctors about her pregnancy and told police she didn’t know how far along she really was. She purchased cinnamon capsules after learning they could help end her pregnancy and took twice the recommended amount to do so. Medical experts later testified there was no evidence to suggest cinnamon could end a pregnancy. On April 21, 2018, Frazier says she miscarried her son and tried to give him CPR when she noticed that she could see his facial features. She said she cradled her son’s body and then buried him in the yard, crying all the while. A month later, a woman who babysat for Frazier and sheriff’s deputy Jaqueline Mitcham told Mitcham she believed Frazier “got rid of her baby.” Mitcham believed Frazier’s baby was born alive and then killed, but the medical examiner testified that there was no evidence the baby was born alive. The toxicology report did, however, find marijuana and methamphetamine in the baby’s system. Believing Frazier had done something wrong, Mitcham investigated the case, even as her male colleagues told her there was nothing she could do. Frazier’s own mother told police that her daughter had attempted to end her previous pregnancies by drinking bleach (which Frazier denied to the Post), taking meth, and “doing all kinds of pills.” Frazier’s mother even showed investigators text messages from a previous pregnancy where Frazier said she “tried to miscarry the whole time I knew I was pregnant” by taking pills and lifting heavy objects. Frazier admitted to taking cinnamon and lifting heavy objects to try and end her pregnancy, and, due to her mother’s statements and the drugs found in the baby’s body, she was charged with taking drugs to end a pregnancy and a lesser charge of concealing a birth. Though Frazier cried when she was arrested, Mitcham would later say it seemed like a child pretending to cry so they could get out of trouble. Frazier’s public defender worked out a deal for probation, but a Nevada Division of Parole and Probation employee recommended up to 10 years in prison. The employee had noted that, while Frazier’s attorney kept using the word “fetus,” the autopsy report referred to the baby as an “infant” who was between 28 and 32 weeks old. The judge sentenced Frazier to 30 months to eight years in prison, but that sentence was later set aside due to ineffective assistance of counsel.

The Trump campaign is demanding action after the Colorado Secretary of State’s office said it had accidentally posted county voting system passwords publicly on its website for months. Lawyers for former President Donald Trump told Secretary of State Jena Griswold on Wednesday to order county clerks to temporarily stop processing mail-in ballots until county election systems can be reconfigured after the password leak was discovered. The voting system passwords from nearly every Colorado county, for equipment like vote tabulating machines, were posted to the Secretary of State’s office website in June and could be viewed by clicking “unhide,” according to The Denver Post.  Griswold, who is facing calls to resign from Republicans over the security breach, has said that the password leak did not compromise election security because the state’s voting system had multiple safeguards in place. Still, Trump’s campaign is pushing for further transparency.  “We are particularly concerned because your office knew of this security breach at least as early as October 24, yet concealed the problem by failing to notify anyone,” Trump lawyer Scott Gessler wrote on Wednesday. Gessler asked Griswold to order impacted counties to take steps to reprogram the election machines and said that it was “essential that you act immediately to protect the integrity of Colorado’s general election.” “We recognize these steps may be an inconvenience for your office and for the affected counties. But this inconvenience is necessary because it is the only way to guarantee that the elections equipment in those counties whose current BIOS [basic input/output system] passwords were disclosed by your office are secure and that the chain-of-custody for that equipment required by Colorado law and regulations is unbroken,” he wrote.  In a Thursday response to Trump and the Colorado Republican Party, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Beall wrote that officials became aware of the breach last week.  “It was quickly determined that the spreadsheet presented no immediate threat to the security of Colorado’s voting systems or the 2024 General Election,” Beall wrote. “The Department determined that because Colorado’s voting systems are protected by layers of security and redundancies, no single error can compromise the integrity of the system.” Beall said state cybersecurity experts would go to impacted counties to update voting systems’ passwords. CBS reported that Griswold’s office did not immediately inform county election officials after discovering the security lapse.  “Unfortunately, clerks found out about it from an email that came from the state GOP, which was incredibly disappointing,” Colorado County Clerks’ Association Matt Crane told CBS Colorado. “If a mistake happens in a county, counties have to report that out to the state immediately. And so with something like this, when it is such so severe in nature, potentially severe, we think that the first call should have been to the county, so that we could have taken a look at our systems and at our security processes and make sure that everything was okay.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Griswold’s handling of the incident has drawn criticism from Republicans in Colorado, including former Deputy Secretary of State Suzanne Taheri. Taheri said that Griswold was trying to downplay the mass posting of the passwords.  “She’s trying to say that in order to get in, you need both passwords,” Taheri told CBS. “Well, not really. The first password, as long as you’re physically there, you could then plug a USB into the computer, bypass the system password and get in and start doing whatever you wanted with the software.” Griswold has so far resisted calls to resign, saying there were no serious consequences from the breach.  “No, I’m not going to resign,” Griswold told Denver7. “A civil servant in the department made a serious mistake that we have actively taken action to remedy. Humans make mistakes. And that’s why I’ve been so focused on adding more layers of security to our elections.”

CNN, over the past week, has made it clear what kind of attacks will and will not be allowed to pass unchallenged on the network’s airwaves. Guest panelist and radio host Tavis Smiley got a pass on Thursday when he claimed that Republican vice presidential nominee and sitting U.S. Senator JD Vance had “mommy issues” — despite the highly public nature of Vance’s childhood with a mother who struggled with opioid addiction. WATCH: A guest on CNN just said that @JDVance has "mommy issues" to the laughter of host @abbydphillip. JD Vance's mother, Beverly, struggled with drug addiction in his early life. What a gross and disgusting thing to joke about. pic.twitter.com/LDM7PT8GmM — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) November 1, 2024 Smiley, responding to something host Abby Phillip had said about Vance “coming after the men,” said, “When you said he’s ‘coming after the men too,’ I think JD Vance has mommy issues, and it’s been fascinating for me to watch the way this has played out on the campaign trail.” Phillip made no move to stop Smiley but simply raised an eyebrow at his comment. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “And because of those issues, he has subjected women across the country to all his bad ideas and all his bad policy,” Smiley said, and he appeared to suggest then that Vance should have spent some time in therapy, and that would have helped him to not inflict his “issues” on others. “Maya Angelou once told me that processing pain without perpetuating pain is rough business,” he continued. “So if you got mommy issues and you make everybody else in the country subject to that, that’s a real problem.” “CNN guest Tavis Smiley just said that JD Vance has “mommy issues” — About a guy who wrote extensively about growing up with a mother who struggled with drug addiction and how they overcame it. Host @abbydphillip responds by laughing,” conservative communications strategist Greg Price posted in response.

Girdusky referenced the recent Israeli attack using pagers to target Hezbollah terrorists and said he hoped Hasan’s pager didn’t “go off.” Phillip immediately jumped in, telling Girdusky that he had gone too far and within hours, had offered a second apology both to Hasan and viewers via X. Girdusky has since been banned from the network. At no point did she address the fact that Hasan was accusing Girdusky — and other Trump supporters — of being a Nazi.

Donald Trump has launched a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News, raising questions about media bias and election integrity just before the 2024 election. CBS clearly showed its political bias in the editing of a recent interview with Harris. The network literally cut her actual answer to a question and spliced in another answer from another question. Trump’s Legal Allegations Donald Trump and his legal team have accused CBS News of manipulating the “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris to benefit the Democratic Party. Trump’s lawyers claim that CBS’s actions violated journalistic integrity by “lying in a thoughtful and malevolent way,” causing confusion and misunderstanding among millions of Americans. The lawsuit seeks a jury trial, $10 billion in damages, and coverage of legal fees. The lawsuit alleges that CBS selectively edited Harris’s responses about Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Lawyers argue these edits were designed to portray Harris as more coherent and influential than she was, potentially swaying voter opinions. Trump’s attorneys assert that CBS engaged in election interference by presenting a distorted view of Harris just as the 2024 election heated up.

This refusal has intensified Republican calls for a CBS boycott and further fueled debates over media impartiality. In light of these events, former President Trump’s legal team criticizes the role broadcasters play in representing political figures, arguing their duty is to report truthfully rather than distorting interviews. Public reactions have varied. Some view Trump’s lawsuit as a justifiable action against perceived media bias, while others see it as a political maneuver. Debates surrounding journalistic ethics and election interference remain at the forefront, suggesting that the lawsuit could have far-reaching implications beyond a simple legal battle.

The incident raises questions about the impartiality of major news outlets and their influence on public perception, especially during critical election periods. As the lawsuit progresses, it will likely deepen divides over media accountability and the proper role of the press in political discourse. The outcome of Trump’s legal action against CBS News might influence future interactions between politicians and the media. The case centers on broader issues of media responsibility and portrays how dynamics between media and political entities can shape public discourse.

On Halloween night in Orlando, folks gathered downtown for what they thought would be a night of celebration. Somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 people showed up. They were looking forward to fun activities, including a contest for the best costumes. Tragically, the festivities in Orlando were cut short due to a mass shooting. Jalen Dwayne Edgar, a 17-year-old, opened fire into the packed crowds twice. As soon as local police officers caught wind of what was happening, they made their way through the sea of people. Eventually, they were able to spot the shooter. One police officer managed to sweep the teen’s legs out from under him, allowing the officer to tackle him in a way that kept him from getting back up. See this harrowing moment for yourself in the video below. @dailymail Two people have been killed and six injured after a gunman opened fire in Orlando while thousands of people were out celebrating Halloween. A 17-year-old suspect, Jaylen Dwayne Edgar, has been arrested after gunshots were heard in two different locations, and he was tackled by police, according to Police Chief Eric Smith. #orlando #halloween #news ♬ Breaking News Background Music (Basic A)(1001538) – LEOPARD Orland Shooting Ends Quickly Thanks to Brave Police Officers Who Took Immediate Action “They’re always trained, and they’re always ready to act,” Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith said during a press conference. “As soon as they heard the shots fired, none of the officers went the other way, they didn’t go with the crowd.” We’re sad to report that at least two people were killed in this shooting. Six others were wounded and immediately taken to local hospitals. Thanks to the quick actions of these officers, there weren’t any more casualties. “Most of them [the police officers] got a little cover between them, they started scanning to see what was going on and then they moved, they took action to keep everyone else safe and that’s what these officers do,” Eric continued, “and I’m very proud of them.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
