Desiree Figueroa‚ 29‚ just pled guilty to helping her own mother‚ Clarisa Figueroa‚ murder 19-year-old Marlen Ochoa-Lopez and cut her baby out of her womb back in 2019. No‚ this isn’t some sort of horror movie - it actually happened. In April 2019‚ Ochoa-Lopez was reportedly promised free baby clothes from the Figueroa family after connecting via a Facebook group for pregnant women in Chicago’s Scottsdale area. All she had to do was go to their home to pick up the clothes.  The first time she visited on April 1‚ she left unharmed after Desiree Figueroa’s boyfriend found out that the Figueroas were planning to kill the teen mom and threatened to call the police‚ the Chicago Sun Times noted. Three weeks later‚ Ochoa-Lopez wasn’t as lucky. Reports indicate that just as Mrs. Figueroa was showing Ochoa-Lopez a family photo album of her recently deceased son‚ Figueroa's daughter‚ Desiree‚ snuck up behind Ochoa-Lopez and strangled her with a cable. Desiree’s job was to keep Ochoa-Lopez from pulling the cable off of her neck. At one point her mom even yelled‚ “You’re not doing your f**king job‚” when Ochoa-Lopez managed to get her hands under the cable. While the two young ladies fought‚ Mrs. Figueroa went to grab a knife. “Clarisa Figueroa allegedly then cut open Ochoa-Lopez’s stomach and removed the baby‚ put the teen’s now-dead body in a plastic bag and carried it to a trash can at the side of the house‚ then called 911 to report having given birth‚” Chicago Sun Times reported.  The child died in the hospital after a few weeks on life support and it was confirmed that the child was not Mrs. Figueroa’s.  Related: 6 Lies From Ms. Magazine Bull S**T Piece on Pro-Life Movement Evidently‚ shortly after Mrs. Figueroa’s older son died of natural causes‚ she began telling her family she was pregnant‚ New York Post reported. She’d been plotting “for months to acquire a newborn‚” and Ochoa-Lopez‚ unfortunately‚ was the perfect target. Desiree‚ the daughter who strangled Ochoa-Lopez‚ even ended up giving birth to her own child while in prison just a few months after helping with the murder. So‚ had she and her mother been patient‚ they would’ve got their family's desired baby after all‚ albeit born into an insane family. Last year‚ Mrs. Figueroa’s boyfriend‚ Piotr Bobak‚ whom Figueroa convinced was the father of the baby that she pretended to give birth to‚ pled guilty to one count of obstruction of justice after he helped cover up the murders. CBS News reported that Bobak was sentenced to four years in prison and has already been released. Now‚ almost four years later‚ the daughter who strangled Ochoa-Lopez has pled guilty to a count of first-degree murder. Her deal with the prosecution “requires that she testify against her own mother in exchange for a 30-year prison sentence‚” New York Post indicated. Clarisa Figueroa's hearing is set for later this month.

MRC President and Founder Brent Bozell rebuked President Joe Biden’s State Department following MRC Free Speech America’s exposé on the government’s plot to brainwash children into becoming leftist activists through taxpayer-funded programs. Bozell drew attention to “Orwellian” MRC findings revealing that the scandal-plagued Department of State used taxpayer money to finance a German censorship effort that trained teachers to “inoculate” U.S. students against conservative ideas. “This is brainwashing at the youngest of an age to believe that conservatives are not to be trusted‚” Bozell told WMAL radio host Larry O’Connor Wednesday. “They are now training teachers how to teach children … to be left-wing activists‚” Bozell added‚ referring to the crux of the taxpayer-funded plan. “For them to actually fund this through the State Dept‚ then brainwash children and teachers about how evil conservatives are‚ that sounds kinda Hitler-y.”@BrentBozell tells @LarryOConnor how the Biden admin pushed German censorship to American teachershttps://t.co/hLWFlP99gy pic.twitter.com/dNSXbEXP5D — Media Research Center (@theMRC) January 10‚ 2024 MRC Free Speech America’s report‚ headlined “How the Biden Administration Pushed German Censorship to American Teachers‚” pulled back the curtain on how a U.S. Embassy to Germany sponsored a year-long series of seminars with over 700 educators involving the University of Rhode Island and the infamous German-based University of Würzburg spanning from 2021 to 2022. The goal? Training teachers how to teach children to stifle free speech. Related Bombshell: How the Biden Administration Pushed German Censorship to American Teachers The scheme involved the use of notoriously leftist media ratings firms that have faced mass scrutiny over their disproportionate hostility against right-leaning media that don’t comport with leftist ideologies. Bozell continued‚ “The tools that they’re using are tools from the companies NewsGuard and Ad Fontes. These are two self-proclaimed judges on what is and what isn’t reliable and believable in media today‚ who insist they’re objective‚ and both of them have an overwhelming left-wing agenda.” You May Also Like: MRC Exposes NewsGuard for Leftist Bias Third Year in a Row // MRC ORIGINAL: Media Literacy Firm Rigged to Favor Left-Wing Media A fired-up Bozell pointed out that this entire scheme is being bought and paid for at the expense of Americans’ tax dollars. “This is all using American tax money. The first question we ask ourselves is: What in the world is it any business of the United States State Department to be doing this?” asked Bozell.  A seemingly shocked O’Connor responded to the MRC Free Speech America findings with grave concern‚ particularly as the taxpayer-funded plan drew parallels to the staunch propaganda operations that had plagued Nazi Germany.  Specifically‚ O’Connor said‚ “I sort of expect this behavior from Germany because I know my history and there was a whole Hitler Youth thing that went on‚ and then there was propaganda going on there. But‚ you know‚ for an administration who likes to spend a lot of time calling their political opponents authoritarians and Nazis‚ for them to actually fund this through the State Department and then brainwash children and teachers about how evil conservatives are. I mean‚ that sounds kinda Hitler-y.” Bozell agreed‚ calling the incestuous relationship between the federal government and the U.S.-based and German universities’ “media literacy” schemes “Orwellian.”  Conservatives are under attack.

Sen. John Kennedy is upset because Sen. Rand Paul wants to limit federal flood insurance. But Paul is right. In my new video‚ Paul says‚ “(It) shouldn’t be for rich people.” That should be obvious. Actually‚ federal flood insurance shouldn’t be for anyone. Government has no business offering it. That’s a job for ... the insurance business. Of course‚ when actual insurance businesses‚ with their own money on the line‚ checked out what some people wanted them to insure‚ they said‚ “Heck no! If you build in a dangerous place‚ risk your own money!” Politically connected homeowners who own property on the edges of rivers and oceans didn’t like that. They whined to congressmen‚ crying‚ “We can’t get insurance! Do something!” Craven politicians obliged. Bureaucrats at the Federal Emergency Management Agency even claim they have to issue government insurance because‚ “There weren’t many affordable options for private flood insurance‚ especially for people living in high-risk places.” But that’s the point! A valuable function of private insurance is to warn people away from high-risk places. But instead of heeding that warning‚ politicians said‚ “Don’t worry. Since private companies won’t insure you‚ we will.” Of course‚ the politicians claimed they’d price the insurance properly so they wouldn’t lose taxpayer money. “We must (do) everything we can to protect taxpayer dollars.” said Colorado Sen. Wayne Allard. But Paul points out‚ “Like most things in government‚ they continue to lose money.” So far‚ the government lost $36 billion of your money. Yet they still insure people who can’t get private insurance. Kennedy thinks that’s fine. “The first role of government is to protect people and property‚” he shouts from the Senate floor. “I thought this is what libertarians believe.” No‚ Senator‚ we believe government should protect our right to life‚ liberty and the pursuit of happiness‚ and then leave us mostly alone. By insuring risky property‚ Paul points out‚ “You’re actually doing the opposite of what you would think government would want to do; you’re promoting bad behavior.” Exactly. Years ago‚ Federal Flood Insurance encouraged my bad behavior. I wanted to build a house on a beach. When I asked my father to help with the mortgage‚ he said‚ “No! Are you crazy? It’s on the edge of an ocean!” Dad was right. It was a dumb place to build. But I built anyway‚ because Federal flood insurance‚ idiotically‚ guaranteed that I wouldn’t lose money. I enjoyed my house for ten years‚ but then‚ as predicted‚ it washed away. It was an upsetting loss‚ but thanks to Uncle Sam‚ I didn’t lose a penny. I’m grateful. But it’s wrong that you were forced to pay for my beach house. Paul is right to say that people with second homes “should not get insurance through the government.” Actually‚ no one should get flood insurance through the government‚ but Paul fears that his irresponsible colleagues won’t approve killing the handout altogether. Instead‚ he just proposes limiting the handout to primary residences. It would be a start. But even this slight reform is too much for Kennedy‚ who says‚ “If you earn enough to buy a second home‚ we shouldn’t discourage that.” No‚ we shouldn’t. But we shouldn’t subsidize it with taxpayer money! Doesn’t he get the difference? Federal flood insurance is like buying drunk drivers new cars. Adding to the idiocy‚ there is no limit on how many times the government will give away your money. “One home in Virginia‚” says Paul‚ “they’ve rebuilt the house 41 times!” I took your money once. I apologize for taking it‚ but when my government offers me a handout‚ I feel stupid not taking it. Let’s get rid of federal flood insurance and all subsidies that encourage people to do foolish things.

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked on Tuesday two of the most important questions about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's secret ICU hospitalization.At the White House press briefing‚ reporters grilled spokesman John Kirby with questions about the cover-up‚ and‚ for the most part‚ Kirby provided satisfactory answers acknowledging the significant problems with the situation.Enter Doocy‚ who confronted Kirby with two blunt — but very necessary — questions."Why should we believe anything that this administration tells us about anything ever again?" he asked.The question left Kirby stuttering."I think we all recognize‚ and I think the Pentagon has been very‚ very honest with themselves about ... uh ... the um ... the challenge to credibility by what has transpired here and by what ... and by ... uh ... uh ... how ... how ... how hard it was for them to be fully transparent with the American people‚" Kirby responded. "We all recognize that this didn't unfold the way it should have."Doocy followed up with the proverbial elephant in the room."But if the administration is going to go to such great lengths to keep secrets about the defense secretary's health‚ how can anybody be certain that the administration would not go to the same lengths to keep secret problems with President Biden's health in the future?" the Fox News reporter asked."If you could logically argue — and you can't — but if you could logically argue —" Kirby began."He's 81 years old!" Doocy interjected."If — if — the administration made some sort of Machiavellian effort across the board to keep this from getting public‚ then I think your question has merit and certainly is a fair one. I don't think it's a fair one because that's not what happened here‚" Kirby responded.Doocy's question is important because‚ despite medical assessments declaring Biden in good health‚ Americans generally believe Biden is too old for the job‚ pointing to several falls and his frequent bouts of appearing verbally incoherent in public. Considering that Biden could win re-election‚ it's critical the American people know their government will be honest if Biden battles health complications. BRUTAL: Fox News' Peter Doocy Mercilessly Grills John Kirby About Lloyd Austin's Hosptilization www.youtube.com Remember‚ when Biden entered office‚ then-press secretary Jen Psaki promised that Biden's administration would "bring transparency and truth back to government." This scandal is the latest example proving the administration has failed to deliver on that promise. Like Blaze News?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Monday that it captured a 21-year-old illegal alien from Honduras charged with raping a Virginia minor and producing child pornography. While U.S. Border Patrol initially caught him in January 2020‚ he was released into a children's facility in New York‚ then later set loose on Virginia. It appears that in the meantime‚ at least one life was destroyed. Deportation officers from the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Washington‚ D.C.‚ team caught up with the criminal noncitizen on Dec. 4 in Springfield‚ Virginia. During the arrest‚ the alleged pedophile viciously attacked a deportation officer. Despite having an accused pedophile prowling its streets for months‚ Deputy Field Office Director Erik Weiss indicated that "Fairfax County refused to honor the ICE detainer lodged against this Honduran noncitizen." Fairfax County boasts on its website that it "does not and will not enforce civil federal immigration laws." The county also provides guidance to foreign nationals hoping to continue flouting the laws of the land‚ including tips on what to do if "immigration or the police come to your door." "When ICE detainers are ignored by local authorities‚ the public is put at risk; unfortunately‚ this time the result was the unnecessary injury of a federal law enforcement officer while prosecuting the arrest of a noncitizen charged with sexually abusing a Virginia minor and producing child sexual abuse material‚" Weiss added. ICE noted that the alleged child rapist had stolen into the country on an unknown date "without being inspected‚ admitted or paroled by an immigration official." While he was off the radar like millions of other gotaways‚ USBP managed to nab him in January 2020 near Clint‚ Texas. Although a military-age foreign national‚ the alleged rapist was treated by border officials as an unaccompanied juvenile. He was provided with a notice to appear before a Biden Department of Justice immigration judge and charged with being in the U.S. without admission or parole. After receiving his notice and charges‚ the alleged child rapist was set loose in Kingston‚ New York‚ under the supposed custody of the Office of Refugee and Resettlement — at the Children's Home of Kingston. One month later‚ USBP released him into the custody of his supposed father in Alexandria‚ Virginia. In July 2023‚ the alleged child rapist was arrested and charged with carnal knowledge of a child between the ages of 13 an 14 without force‚ possession of child porn‚ and producing child sexual abuse material. ICE noted that its Pacific Enforcement Response Center lodged an immigration detainer against the alleged pedophile with the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center on the day of his arrest. However‚ the detention center "did not honor the immigration detainer and released the Honduran noncitizen from custody without notifying ERO Washington‚ D.C." Without the help of Fairfax County‚ ERO Washington's Mobile Criminal Apprehensions Team raided the alleged child rapist's residence on Jan. 4‚ according to ICE. During the arrest‚ the illegal alien reportedly punched an officer. Extra to the child rape and child pornography charges‚ it appears the illegal alien will also be prosecuted for the assault. This suspect's story is eerily similar to that of another Honduran rapist who recently got picked up by ICE. In October‚ ICE revealed it had arrested a Honduran in Herndon‚ Virginia‚ who had been charged with felony rape by force‚ threat‚ or intimidation; abduction by force; and assault on a family member. USBP initially arrested him near Roma‚ Texas‚ in June 2021‚ and issued him a notice to appear before an immigration judge. The antagonist in this second case was arrested by the Herndon Police Department in Virginia on July 20‚ 2023‚ and charged for rape and other crimes. Again‚ ERO Washington‚ D.C.‚ issued an immigration detainer‚ and again the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center cut the foreign rape suspect loose. Finally‚ on Oct. 12‚ ERO officers caught up with him‚ then kept him under lock and key. On Oct. 30‚ ICE was able to send another alleged rapist from Honduras back to his home country before he could reoffend on American soil. Wilian Emilson Castro Bustillo‚ 34‚ illegally entered the country near Eagle Pass‚ Texas‚ on June 11. ERO San Antonio took custody of him days later and learned he was wanted for aggravated sexual assault. An immigration judge ordered his removal from the U.S. on Sept. 1. Blaze News previously reported that only a small percentage of illegal aliens were deported last year — roughly 4.4% of the over 2 million migrants encountered at the border. Of the deportees‚ 49% had criminal histories with an average of 3.8 convictions per criminal. 3‚809 of the criminal convictions catalogued were for rape; 1‚457 were for homicide; 1‚450 were for kidnappings; 26‚714 were for assault; and 2‚760 were for robbery.

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is no stranger to making waves. Ramaswamy’s controversial views on January 6 and vaccines have earned him praise from Americans who feel that government overreach is out of control — and ridicule from those who don’t mind being so heavily controlled. Now‚ he’s going after the FBI. “The FBI has been rotten since its inception‚ and it was designed to actually be rotten to its core‚” he tells Dave Smith on the "Part of the Problem" podcast. “So what you see today isn’t any surprise‚ it isn’t a deviation from the purpose of the institution‚ it’s actually an instantiation of the purpose of the institution‚” he continues‚ adding that it cannot be reformed. “You have to shut it down. I don’t think we need an FBI. I think we patently need to not have an FBI‚” he adds. “I’m going to make Javier Milei‚ I believe‚ look like a moderate.” "He's got guts. He really does‚" admits Pat Gray. However‚ former president Donald Trump is singing a different tune. “The FBI headquarters should not be moved to a far away location‚ but should stay right where it is‚ in a new and spectacular building‚ in the best location in our now crime ridden and filthy dirty‚ graffiti scarred‚ Capital‚” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “They should be involved in bringing back D.C.‚ not running away from it‚ especially the violent crime.” “The FBI should not be fleeing for safer‚ yet much less convenient‚ environs. It should make where they are now the safest place on earth! DON’T MOVE THE FBI‚” Trump finished.
