A school bus aide in Spotsylvania, Virginia sexually assaulted multiple four- and five-year olds with disabilities on the school bus on Thursday, police said. According to a jail booking from Rappahannock Regional Jail, Miguel Angel Velasquez Velasco was booked for eight counts of aggravated sexual battery of a victim less than 13 years, sodomy, and indecent liberties with a child by a custodian, and is being held without bond. Spotsylvania Police Major Troy Skeba said in a Saturday statement that school authorities notified the police of suspicions that “inappropriate touching of a student” had occurred on a school bus. “Detectives with the ‘Child Victim Unit’ and school administration immediately started an investigation and obtained substantial evidence that Mr. Velasquez Velasco assaulted three separate children on the school bus on the day of September 26th,” Skeba said. “The victims ages range from 4 to 5 years of age who are students with disabilities.” Skeba said Velasquez Velasco is an immigrant who is a legal permanent resident and has no known criminal record. Superintendent Clint M. Mitchell has not informed the community of the incident. The Daily Wire sent Mitchell questions about the incident at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, but, as of this writing, he had not responded.   Spotsylvania Commonwealth’s Attorney Ryan Mehaffey told The Daily Wire that the “case is very important to our community and it has my undivided attention.” He said the charging documents could not be released because it is currently in juvenile court. Spotsylvania is a semi-rural county about 60 miles south of Washington, D.C. Related: Loudoun County Schools Tried To Conceal Sexual Assault Against Daughter In Bathroom, Father Says

“Morning Joe” regular Katty Kay conceded on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris does not poll well with men — across a number of demographics — and she suggested a possible solution the campaign might implement in order to bridge that gap. Kay argued that Harris’ campaign — which has not been terribly forthcoming with regard to answering questions from the press or outlining actual policies that were likely to be implemented in a Harris administration — could have her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), do more from the campaign trail. WATCH: .@KattyKay_: "The real struggle for the Harris campaign is young men, older men, men of color, white men. And they're doing all they can. The debate next week will be really interesting to see how Tim Walz reaches out to that group." pic.twitter.com/mwL41t104d — Morning Joe (@Morning_Joe) September 27, 2024 “Either the concern or the upside, depending on how you look at this from the Harris campaign’s point of view, is that Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin people think will break the same way,” she said of Harris’ focus in the swing states. “That’s what they’ve done traditionally ever since 1980, I think there’s one exception, so if they lose Pennsylvania, what would that then mean for Wisconsin and Michigan? If they win Wisconsin and Michigan, does that then mean they’re going to win Pennsylvania?” Kay then pointed out that the major problem facing the Harris campaign was “men.” “But it’s men, I think the real struggle for the Harris campaign, is young men, old men, men of color, white men — and they are doing all they can, you can see – I think we’ll see the debate next week will be really interesting to see how Tim Walz reaches out to that group. Doug Emhoff … he is making a concerted effort in his own way to reach out to that group. They know that’s where they — they know that’s where they have a weakness.” “No self-respecting man buys Tim Walz’s schmalzy Midwest Dad schtick. Mr Stolen Valor is as phony as his boss and even weirder. (Who gets married on the anniversary of a massacre? The Manchurian candidate.)” Miranda Devine commented via X.

High school seems like so long ago. Back then, we were young and free without a care. Sometimes, we took things seriously, and we just let them slide on other days. Those days in our youth can sometimes come back to haunt us or at least give us a really big laugh. Keith Urban Has A Wild High School Story Of His Own Keith Urban, who just released his newest album, High, on September 20, sat down with Kelly Clarkson and told her an unbelievable story. Kelly wanted to know who Keith’s favorite music teacher was when he was a kid. He didn’t hesitate for a second and said, “Mrs. Grimmer.” Keith was in 10th grade studying music, but much of his final grade was based on his ability to read music. He and many of his friends couldn’t do that, so Mrs. Grimmer came up with a plan. “But we were all gonna fail music because it was all theory-based,” he explained “She wrote an entire play for us to perform, and we were gonna be graded on the play and the performance. Everybody did it.” At the end of the year, the whole class got together and performed this fantastic play, and it went off without a hitch. That was until the principal told them it didn’t qualify as part of the curriculum, and he “failed music,” he said. Kelly chimed in in shock, “Hilarious! That’s like Neil DeGrasse Tyson failing science.” Fans of the show loved seeing Kelly and Keith together, leaving comments on Kelly’s YouTube channel. One wrote, “Well what did it for me is the music staff on a music sheet my brain was like noooooope lol so yeah I can relate to what he is talking about.” “We love Keith Urban and Kelly Clarkson,” a fan cheered.

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 25 years since the world first heard Survivor host Jeff Probst say the iconic phrase, “The tribe has spoken.” The reality competition show captivated audiences who watched as 16 people were left on the island of Borneo. They had very few material things but a huge will to win. Week by week, the contests were played, plotted, and schemed, and one by one, they were picked off at the tribal council as Jeff extinguished their torches. The first season finale boasted 52 million viewers on the edge of their seats. They waited in anticipation to see who would be crowned the inaugural Survivor. Richard Hatch walked away with the title and the $1 million grand prize. He was part of the beginning of a franchise that is now entering its 47th season. “Survivor” Has Seen Many Changes Throughout 47 Seasons To stay on the air for 47 seasons, Survivor continually reinvents itself. There are new locations, games, strategies, and a wild cast of characters. Season after season, avid watchers tune in to see what’s new. For many reasons, a big part of the game we were contestants’ luxury items. They bring something from home that gives them comfort and sometimes also serves as a strategic part of the game. In season 2, contestant Colby Donaldson’s Texas Flag served as sentimental and functional. But as the game changed through the years, so did the use of luxury items. Jeff Probst explained during a recent episode of On Fire: The Official Survivor Podcast,  “In the early seasons, we allowed them to bring one emotional item,” the host and executive producer continued, “Which means it couldn’t be survival related. You’re not going to bring a toothbrush. But then we stopped letting them start the game, and we started using them as rewards. And then we just stopped altogether. But we do still have them. They bring one with them, and we approve them, and then we hold them in case we decide we want to use them in the game for any number of reasons.” Luxury Items Could Be On Their Way Back To Prominence Season 46 runner-up Charlie Davis shared his luxury item story. When a listener said they’d like to see luxury items back in the forefront, Charlie liked it. “It’s an interesting question,” Charlie responds. “How would it affect the game? So if you got your emotional item at the start of the game, it would be an instant way to connect with your tribe mates more. You could tell stories of your loved ones, point to them in a photo, show them your mangled stuffed animal, your favorite place you used to visit back home. And then, if we’re talking as a reward, talking as a part of the family reward, I think it would make people fight that much harder because you’re always looking for a little bit of comfort. But when you have people fighting a little harder, you also have the losers of the family reward feeling a lot worse about being left behind. So maybe some even more tension, if you had that in there.” This story’s featured image is by Michael Tullberg/Getty Images.
