In the motel room, investigators found condoms, a knife, lubricant, razor blades, bloody tissues, and a boarding pass.Pysher had been grooming the girl for several months after meeting her in a chat room on the Discord app for people suffering from mental illness, according to prosecutors.The girl's mother contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Feb. 10 because she believed her daughter was being coerced into harming herself by a man named Matthew.A suicide note from the girl was found by her family, according to the criminal complaint.Investigators were able to trace Pysher to the motel room, where they found the teenager hiding in the bathroom. She allegedly told them that Pysher had used a knife to repeatedly cut her and that they had engaged in sexual conduct.In the motel room, investigators found condoms, a knife, lubricant, razor blades, bloody tissues, and a boarding pass. They also found near the girl's cell phone a Faraday bag, which is used to block electric transmissions.The girl said he told her they were going to commit suicide together by jumping off the top of a hotel.Investigators said Pysher had groomed the girl to send him material of herself committing sexual acts and also images of herself committing self-harm in the months before flying out to meet her. The criminal complaint had screenshots of texts he allegedly sent her where he explicitly discussed cutting instructions.Pysher was charged with travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.

Britain’s media no longer tells the public what matters — it tells them what is safe to be angry about. A single word can dominate headlines for weeks, while violent crimes that challenge elite dogma quietly fade from view.That imbalance was exposed recently after petrochemicals billionaire and Manchester United chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe came under heavy criticism for saying Britain has been “colonized by immigrants.” After following her home, he stabbed her 23 times, later celebrating with other asylum seekers using a government-issued debit card.Ratcliffe was not referring to a specific crime. He was making a broad claim about mass immigration and national cohesion. Yet the media response to his phrasing was immediate and intense — especially when contrasted with the muted coverage of serious crimes committed by illegal migrants around the same time.Defining issueMass migration is the defining issue in British public life. It has accelerated demographic change, worsened the housing crisis, fueled sectarianism, and introduced de facto blasphemy norms shielding Islam from criticism. More troubling still, it has coincided with the arrival of violent criminals and sexual predators, often housed at public expense in struggling communities.One recent example is Ahmad Mulakhil, an Afghan asylum seeker convicted of abducting and raping a 12-year-old girl. The crime was horrific. The coverage was fleeting. It barely registered in the national conversation.That silence makes the backlash against Ratcliffe revealing.In a Sky News interview, Ratcliffe gave voice to a concern widely shared but rarely permitted: that housing tens of thousands of young men from the developing world — often with minimal scrutiny — has placed women and girls at greater risk.Rather than debate that claim, the media fixated on his language — his use of the word "colonized."Hysterical reactionRatcliffe was branded racist, greedy, and offensive. The BBC treated his remark as a national emergency. Prime Minister Keir Starmer demanded an apology. There was no serious engagement with the substance of his argument — only tone policing and moral posturing.Some critics accused Ratcliffe of hypocrisy because Manchester United employs foreign players. The argument is so stupid it barely needs rebutting. Bruno Fernandes did not arrive illegally via people smugglers. He entered Britain lawfully to perform a skilled role at the highest level. Conflating elite athletes with illegal migrants crossing the Channel is deliberate obfuscation.Misdirected outrageRatcliffe’s comments came amid a series of crimes that underscore the stakes of Britain’s immigration failures. Deng Chol Majek, a Sudanese national who entered the U.K. illegally while posing as a teenager, was sentenced to 29 years for the murder of Rhiannon Whyte. Majek lived in a taxpayer-funded hotel where Whyte worked. After following her home, he stabbed her 23 times, later celebrating with other asylum seekers using a government-issued debit card.As someone who lives in Britain, I can attest that Ratcliffe’s description reflects visible demographic change. In parts of Birmingham, white British population has fallen into the low single digits in terms of percentage, reflecting how sharply local demographics have shifted. According to the 2021 Census, London’s white British population has fallen to 36.8%, with most boroughs now majority non-white British — a dramatic shift from 1961, when it stood at 98%. Similar patterns exist in Leicester, Luton, and Slough. Projections suggest white British people will become a national minority by 2063.RELATED: The Great Replacement is real — and happening to Ireland Paul Faith/Getty Images'Colonize them for life'Against this backdrop, outrage over vocabulary feels grotesquely misplaced.Since the turn of the millennium, Britain has welcomed millions from the developing world, often driven by what can only be described as suicidal empathy. The consequences have been deadly. The past decade alone has seen Islamist terrorists and the children of recent migrants murder British soldiers, concert-goers, schoolchildren, and a sitting member of parliament.Yet we are told the real scandal is a word.The reaction to Ratcliffe’s remark exposes a familiar hypocrisy. Colonization appears regularly on protest signs, in activist poetry, and even on the London Underground. Immigrants themselves use it freely. As one French-Algerian man told Rebel News, “They’ve colonized us for 132 years, and now we’re going to colonize them for life.”As the meme puts it: It’s cool when they do it. Ratcliffe had every right to speak plainly about his country’s decline. The fixation on his phrasing is not a sign of moral seriousness but of moral evasion — and it allows those in power to avoid confronting the real and growing costs of their own policies.

Frida Baby, a top-selling baby and postpartum care brand, came under significant public criticism and backlash early this month for its use of sexual innuendos in its marketing.The controversy erupted in early February 2026 when a now-deleted social media post promoting Frida Baby's rectal thermometer with the caption, “This is the closest your husband's gonna get to a threesome,” sparked intense backlash, prompting the rapid resurfacing and viral spread of other old advertisements, posts, and packaging with similar suggestive phrases on platforms like X and TikTok.“This story is extremely disappointing to me because I and every other mom I know has used the Frida Baby products,” says BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey.On this episode of “Relatable,” Allie breaks down the controversy, exposing what’s really fueling Frida Baby’s “sick campaign.” “You just have to wonder what is going through the mind of someone that is, like, creating the packaging and marketing for something that, you know, detects a fever in your child and thinks threesome,” Allie says of the social media post that triggered the controversy.She also displays other resurfaced controversial Frida Baby marketing examples, including packaging for a touchless thermometer that reads “How about a quickie?”; humidifier instructions titled “I get turned on easily”; and a nasal aspirator box featuring the phrase “I'm a [power] sucker.”But the advertisement Allie finds most “disturbing” comes from an Instagram post promoting the brand’s nose sucker. The since-deleted post features a baby with snot on his/her face with the caption, “What happens when you pull out too early.”“People kind of dug up who their marketing team was. ... It's men and women on this team, but it did seem like it was a male team that was in charge of marketing, which I just think is odd,” says Allie. “Like this is obviously a female brand. I'm not saying that you can't hire men at all, but why would men know what attracts a woman to a particular product?”Frida Baby responded to the backlash, but “they certainly didn’t apologize,” she adds.“I just don't understand when it became acceptable to use kids as fodder for sexual jokes — like publicly, commercially. ... There are just perverts out there who love this kind of stuff, and it just ends up like infesting people's brains, and it changes how we talk about children and how we think about this stuff,” Allie laments.“I really just think it's glossing over one of the biggest evils in the world, which is the sexualization [and] objectification of children.”Christians for the last 2,000 years, Allie says, have been the ones to call out child exploitation for the evil that it is, and she encourages current believers to continue this tradition.“We still have a responsibility to do that,” she urges.“We really shouldn't have any level of tolerance of this kind of stuff, which is really a bummer because some of [Frida Baby’s] products are super effective, and it just wasn't necessary. I think they could have been very successful without this, and unfortunately they've normalized something really wicked.”To learn more, watch the episode above.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Partap Singh, an Indian national who illegally stole into the United States in 2022, reportedly managed to obtain a commercial driver's license from California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom's Department of Motor Vehicles.On June 20, 2024, Singh allegedly caused a multicar pileup that left numerous Americans grievously injured, including then-5-year-old Dalilah Coleman.'Against all odds, she is now in the first grade, learning to walk.'During his State of the Union speech on Tuesday, President Donald Trump recognized Dalilah and her struggle for a normal life after the horrific incident, adding that legislation is in the works that would hopefully spare future Americans from a similar fate."Doctors said Dalilah would never be able to walk or talk have a good life," said the president.According to the Department of Homeland Security, Dalilah suffered a broken femur and skull fractures in the accident; was left in a coma for three weeks; and has since been diagnosed with both diplegic cerebral palsy and global developmental delay for which she will require lifelong therapy."But against all odds, she is now in the first grade, learning to walk — and she's here this evening with her dad, Marcus — a fantastic man."Trump added that Dalilah is a "great inspiration."Dalilah, lifted and kissed by her father, smiled and waved to the president and officials below.RELATED: Watch the State of the Union tonight on BlazeTV's YouTube Channel Department of Homeland Security"Dalilah Coleman’s life was forever changed when an illegal alien driving an 18-wheeler slammed into her and her family. This tragedy was entirely preventable," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in September."How many more innocent people must become victims before Gavin Newsom stops playing games with American lives? DHS is working around the clock to remove dangerous aliens — like Singh — who have no right to be in the U.S.," added Noem.After noting that many of the illegal aliens who have taken to American roads "do not speak English and cannot read even the most basic road signs as to direction, speed, danger, or location," Trump called on congressional lawmakers to "pass what we will call the Dalilah Law, barring any state from granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens."Like Blaze News?

Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas briefly interrupted the State of the Union address Tuesday and was quickly kicked out of the U.S. House of Representatives chamber. The Democrat was ushered out of the chamber, and one Republican grabbed at the sign on his way out. The president later said that he did not see the video before it was posted.Green held up a banner reading, "Black people aren't apes," in an apparent reference to a video depicting former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes that was posted to the president's Truth Social account. "These people are crazy! I am telling you, they're crazy!" the president later said in the address while pointing to Democrats. Green interrupted the president's address last year before Congress and was escorted out at that time as well. "You have no mandate!" he yelled at one point, while shaking his cane at the president. Many Democratic members of Congress later joined Republicans in a vote to censure him for the incident. The resolution passed 224-198. Republicans and Democrats both condemned the anti-Obama video, including Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina. The president later said that he did not see the video before it was posted and blamed a staffer for the incident.RELATED: Rep. Al Green of Texas releases statement on sexual assault allegations from 2008 Photo by Kenny Holston-Pool/Getty Images Green blamed racism for his ejection after the interruption last year. "There is invidious discrimination in the House of Representatives. I’m a son of the segregated South. The rights that the Constitution recognized for me — my friends and neighbors deny it. I had to sit in the back of the bus, the balcony of the movie, drink from a colored water fountain," he said in an interview. "When the speaker decided that I would be removed and then there was this motion," he added, "this resolution to censure me, it became obvious to me that I was not being treated as others were, and candidly speaking, it is invidious discrimination."
