On the twenty-third anniversary of the attack, she joins MRCTV to share her story. Tune into this special episode to hear what message Uchitel has for her fellow Americans.

The head of the House Judiciary Committee is investigating a potentially major conflict of interest between a lead defense attorney for censorship giant Google and Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), wrote a scathing Sept. 10 letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland as part of his ongoing investigation into the extent to which the Biden-Harris administration “coerced or colluded” with Big Tech to censor Americans. Jordan specifically called for an explanation as to why the lead for Google’s defense team Karen Dunn was reportedly prepping Harris for her debate with former President Donald Trump while simultaneously representing the Big Tech giant in the Department of Justice’s major antitrust lawsuit against it. The debate between Harris and Trump occurred Tuesday night on ABC News. As Jordan noted, “This apparent conflict of interest raises serious concerns about whether Dunn’s relationship with key figures in the Biden-Harris Administration creates a conflict of interest that could inappropriately bias the Department’s approach in United States v. Google LLC.”  Jordan wrote that Attorney General Garland pledged to “‘guarantee[] the independence of the Department from partisan influence.’” But the congressman added that his promise “is hard to square with reporting that Ms. Dunn is leading debate preparations for Vice President Harris while she also leads Google’s defense against a Biden-Harris Administration lawsuit.” Jordan asked for a briefing to occur no later than Sept. 24, 2024, adding that his concern stems from House oversight on “civil liberties” and antitrust issues. The Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government in particular is specifically authorized, Jordan ended, to investigate “issues related to the violation of the civil liberties of citizens of the United States.” MRC revealed in multiple exclusive studies how Google’s search engine consistently suppressedwebsites for GOP presidential candidates, including Donald Trump, and promoted Harris, even when users searched for Trump. Dunn did not respond to MRC Free Speech America’s request for comment or reactions to Jordan’s letter. Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives.

The latest teacher sex scandal involves a former Missouri teacher who pleaded guilty to a child sex crime Friday. As Blaze News reported in January, Hailey Clifton-Carmack was arrested in Garden Ridge, Texas, and then extradited to Missouri and charged with first-degree endangering the welfare of a child, second-degree statutory rape, having sexual contact with a student, fourth-degree child molestation, and seven counts of misdemeanor furnishing pornographic material to a minor.The victim told a fellow student that 'he was the reason' his teacher’s 'divorce was pushed through,' according to the student informant. Clifton-Carmack reportedly accepted a plea deal and pleaded guilty to felony sexual contact with a student.The former teacher will be sentenced Oct. 11. Clifton-Carmack had been a teacher at Laquey (Missouri) High School, and according to court documents, she often would wear "tight or low-cut shirts" and inappropriate leggings that would "show off her body."A student told Pulaski County (Missouri) Detective Sergeant Bryan Gibbs that Clifton-Carmack “has openly discussed her personal life with the class."The school reportedly reprimanded the teacher for being "too close with students."A Laquey school resource officer informed the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department about a possible inappropriate sexual relationship between a teacher and a student. A 16-year-old boy allegedly showed another student photos of scratches on his back. The victim said the teacher left the markings after the two had sex in the driveway of another student's home, according to the probable cause statement obtained by People magazine. Investigators searched the teacher's phone and found “a conversation between her and the confidential victim discussing their relationship,” according to court docs. The victim told a fellow student that "he was the reason" his teacher’s “divorce was pushed through,” according to the student informant. People magazine reported that Clifton-Carmack’s husband filed for divorce from her in August 2023. The couple — who have a child together — were divorced in September 2023, according to a judgment and decree of their dissolution of marriage.An anonymous witness told police she confronted the teen’s father about the child sex abuse. The witness allegedly told the father that she was going to report the abuse, and the father purportedly responded: “They are going to do it behind my back so I may as well let it happen.”The teen’s father was charged with child endangerment in January.Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney Kevin S. Hillman said the father's case is “on hold” until the teacher is sentenced “as he has agreed to assist the state and testify if needed.”Like Blaze News?

SpaceX owner Elon Musk criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and noted that she didn't support a government efficiency commission.The entrepreneur said very early on September 11 that unless there is "significant government reform," laws and regulations will get worse every year until innovation is "effectively illegal."Musk listed "great endeavors" such as "high-speed rail" between cities and "making life multiplanetary."Trump recently announced that if re-elected, he would appoint Musk to head up a government efficiency task force, which appeared to involve an audit of the entire government in terms of regulation.Musk would perform a “complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government,” Trump said at an event in New York. This would also involve Musk making recommendations for "drastic reforms.""Trump supports a government efficiency commission to allow great things to be done, Kamala does not," Musk added. "We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins." — (@) 'If Kamala can do great things, why hasn't she?'Musk also critiqued the presidential debate between Trump and Harris, noting that Harris "exceeded most people's expectations" despite feeling that the debate hosts were unfair to the former president.The billionaire also said however that Harris would not do as good of a job as Trump, beside "saying nice-sounding words."Musk asked, "If Kamala can do great things, why hasn't she? Biden rarely shows up for work, so she's basically in charge already. The question comes down to this: do you want current trends to continue for 4 more years or do you want change?" — (@) As for SpaceX, Musk recently said he planned for a new mission to Mars in 2026 "with the goal of building a self-sustaining city in about 20 years."His plan is to send an uncrewed spacecraft to test the reliability of landing on Mars. If all goes well, the first manned missions would be around 2028. — (@) Musk's Dragon Crew-9 was recently tasked with retrieving Boeing astronauts stranded at the International Space Station since August.

Celebrity political endorsements made headlines after the presidential debate when two female stars made their preferences known.Pop superstar Taylor Swift issued a statement endorsing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris on social media after the debate and that was followed by a "like" from WNBA star Caitlin Clark. 'I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice.' Swift cited abortion rights, IVF, and LGBTQ rights as the issues that made her endorse the Democrat in the presidential election. "I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos," she wrote on Instagram. "I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice," she concluded. "Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make." She signed the message describing herself as a "childless cat lady" in reference to the comments made by Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance about liberal voters. Among the millions who "liked" Swift's post was Clark, who had previously not been public about her political leanings. Other female celebrities who supported the Harris endorsement included Bette Midler, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, and Reese Witherspoon. 'She will probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.' Trump was asked about Swift's endorsement while appearing on Fox News, and he said he preferred the endorsement of Brittany Mahomes, the wife of NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes. “I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. She is a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time. She couldn’t, you couldn’t possibly endorse Biden," said Trump. "You look at Biden. You couldn’t possibly endorse him. But she is a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. She will probably pay a price for it in the marketplace," he warned. "But no. I like Brittany. I think Brittany is great. She got a lot of news last week. She’s a big MAGA fan. That’s the one I like more than Taylor Swift.”Like Blaze News?

San Diego State University and University of California San Diego researchers recently claimed that they have detected dangerously high levels of toxic gas in the Tijuana River Valley.According to the researchers, they discovered high levels of hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfide while conducting air-quality studies in the area, prompting them to temporarily abandon their work over safety concerns and issue a warning to the public. As a result, nearby schools within the South Bay School District have suspended outdoor activities out of "an abundance of caution," citing "heat and high levels of toxins in the air."'These fumes are causing an immediate and serious threat to the health and safety of residents.'The reportedly contaminated air has been linked to the high volume of raw sewage flowing from Mexico into the Tijuana River Valley.Residents have reported an "unbearable" stench in recent weeks, according to the Border Report.A group of local Democratic lawmakers wrote a joint letter to President Joe Biden (D) and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) urging them to initiate a state of emergency over the researchers' findings. "Recent data has made it clear that these fumes are causing an immediate and serious threat to the health and safety of residents of South San Diego, and our community needs additional support," they wrote. San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas (D) pushed back on the findings during a press conference Tuesday morning. She claimed that there is no public safety concern."I want to reassure everyone that this is not an imminent threat, and it's safe to be outside and attend school," Vargas stated, according to KPBS. "Our county experts are actively gathering public health data and conducting research to provide the most accurate information."Dr. Kim Prather, director of the Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the Environment at UC San Diego, responded to Vargas' press conference, claiming that her team discovered "unsafe air quality.""Vargas's claim directly contradicts not only our calibrated, validated hydrogen sulfide (H2S) data but also the numerous health complaints from South Bay residents, including migraines, respiratory issues, and GI problems. It's deeply concerning that a public official trusted by the community to protect their health would make such a misleading statement based on an unverified set of measurements from an unknown location and device with no critical details," Prather wrote on X.In February, Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre called the sewage problem "the worst it's ever been" and "the border crisis nobody is talking about." Aguirre claimed that sewage from Mexico has, at times, forced the temporary closures of some California beaches.Like Blaze News?
