3rd-strike 'trans' rape suspect prompts rebellion against CA law after attack in women's prison
[FoxNews] Tremaine 'Treymane' Deon Carroll transferred out of women's prison after being indicted on 2 rape counts

A transgender-identified California convict with a lengthy record of criminal violence has been transferred out of a women's correctional facility and back to a men's prison after being indicted for rape.

Tremaine "Tremayne" Deon Carroll, 51, is an incarcerated biological male who identifies as a woman and faces two charges of forcible rape and one of "dissuading a witness from testifying" in Madera County, according to a criminal complaint first obtained by Reduxx, a feminist news and opinion website, and later reported by JustTheNews.com.

One of the alleged victims of the Jan. 30 incident is a biological female, identified as Jane Doe in court documents, who said Carroll attacked her in the shower at the Central California Women’s Facility and raped her. The complaint also mentions another unidentified victim. Carroll has since been transferred to Kern Valley State Prison, a male-only facility in Delano, online records show.

Women's rights activists tell Fox News Digital that Carroll, who was the public face of a campaign to support California law SB 132, which allows transgender prisoners to be housed in a facility consistent with their gender identity, is a case in point why the law harms incarcerated women.

"Previous to SB 132, biological male inmates were allowed to, on a case-by-case individualized basis, be placed in women's facilities. But not if they hadn't had surgery, and it was always very individualized. What the bill did, what SB 132 did is it took away all of that safeguarding," said Lauren Bone, legal director of the Women's Liberation Front (WoLF).

WoLF is a self-described radical feminist organization that opposes policies that permit biological males in women-only spaces. The group currently represents four female inmates in a lawsuit against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations (CDCR) that seeks to have SB 132, which is called the Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act, declared unconstitutional.

"[SB 132] took away the ability to make individualized case assessments. It made it illegal to discriminate on the basis of anatomy and including things like hormones," Bone said. "You don't have to identify as a woman anymore. You can identify as non-binary or many other things. And so, what the results are is that there's 50 men who are housed there. There are hundreds more on a wait list, who are still being processed. Nearly all of them have penises."

Carroll is one of several female-identifying biological males represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, Transgender Law Center and Lambda Legal who intervened to oppose WoLF's lawsuit in August 2023. In sworn testimony, Carroll stated, "I know what it feels like to live in fear and to carry the weight of the past abuse by men. But I am not a threat."

Less than a year later, Carroll would be accused of rape.

Amie Ichikawa, founder and executive director of Women II Women and a former inmate who has closely followed Carroll's case, told Fox News Digital there is no history of Carroll identifying as any kind of LGBTQ+ person until SB 132 passed.

"This is somebody that I did keep a close eye on because of their history, their background, their habitual manipulation, frivolous lawsuit after frivolous lawsuit, constantly filing complaints against everyone. I knew this was going to be an issue," Ichikawa said.

Official US Navy Special Forces page draws backlash for ringing in Pride month: 'Navy SEALs have gone woke'
[FoxNews] The official Facebook page for the U.S. Navy SEALs and Naval Special Warfare Command was mocked this weekend for marking the start of "pride month."

Backlash to the post surged when it was highlighted on the popular "Libs of TikTok" page on X, formerly known as Twitter. The post had no caption and included a photo with rainbow designs that read, "NSW. Dignity. Service. Respect. Equality. Pride."

Libs of TikTok shared the post to X on Saturday, writing, "The Navy SEALs have gone woke. Our elite special forces. This is terrifying."

The special warfare account took steps to limit the accounts that can comment on their post, suggesting administrators knew it would be controversial.

The comment section was nevertheless full of criticism.

"This is a slap in the face of every special warfare operator that has put their lives on the line for our nation," one person wrote.

"Man this woke s--- is like a cancer and needs to be handled and dealt with as a threat to national security. Gone way too far," another person said.

Not every comment was critical, however, with some users saying the post was positive.

"Fantastic!! Thanks for recognizing our strength is in our differences!" one person wrote.

Social media accounts for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Space Force made no mention of Pride month on Saturday.

The incident comes after the Department of Defense (DoD) appeared to mix up Pride Month and PTSD Awareness Month in a social media post on Saturday.

In an X post published on Saturday afternoon, the Pentagon explained that June marks PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Awareness Month. The commemorative month was first recognized by the U.S. government in June 2014, a year before June also officially became Pride Month.

"June is PTSD Awareness Month and the DoD is committed to supporting service members and veterans affected by PTSD," the post read.

"If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available," the DoD added. "You are not alone."

But the picture attached to the post read "Celebrate Pride Month 2024" with a Progress Pride Flag graphic. The tweet was later deleted and replaced with a PTSD Awareness Month graphic.

Stealing Our Childrens Future-Biden admin offers ‘mass amnesty' to migrants as it quietly terminates 350,000 asylum cases: sources
[NYPost] While the Biden administration is attempting to look like it’s getting tough on the border, behind the scenes it’s operating a program of a “mass amnesty” for migrants, The Post can reveal.

Data shows that since 2022, more than 350,000 asylum cases filed by migrants have been closed by the US government if the applicants don’t have a criminal record or are otherwise not deemed a threat to the country.

This means that while the migrants are not granted or denied asylum — their cases are “terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim” — they are removed from the legal system and no longer required to check in with authorities.

The move allows them to legally, indefinitely roam about the US without fear of deportation, effectively letting them slip through the cracks.

“This is just a massive amnesty under the guise of prosecutorial discretion,” according to Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge who now works for the Center for Immigration Studies.

“You’re basically allowing people who don’t have a right to be in the United States to be here indefinitely,” he added to The Post.

ICE officers add that they have seen an increase in cases of such migrants committing crimes after their asylum cases have been dismissed, forcing agents to restart removal proceedings — which typically take years.

“Please let everyone know what’s really going on,” an ICE officer told The Post.

In 2020, during the Trump administration, 48,000 migrants were ordered removed from the US by immigration court judges. Fewer than 20,000 people were granted asylum, and 4,700 people had their cases closed or were otherwise allowed to remain in the country, according to data collected by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

In 2022, under Biden, a memo issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s principal legal adviser, Kerry Doyle, and seen by The Post instructed prosecutors at the agency to allow cases to be dismissed for migrants who aren’t deemed national security threats.

That year, 36,000 were ordered removed, 32,000 were awarded asylum, and 102,550 had their cases dismissed or otherwise taken off the books – 10 times the number in 2014.

In 2023, there were 149,000 cases in this latter category, and so far in financial year 2024 — which ends Sept. 30 — the data is certain to surpass that, with 114,000 cases closed already.

Since Biden assumed office, 77% of asylum seekers have been allowed to remain in the country, according to TRAC. That equates to 499,000 of the 648,000 who applied for asylum in the US in that time.

The current backlog of asylum cases stands at 3.5 million, and shaving more than 100,000 people a year off it makes the administration look better, sources told The Post.

Once cases are closed, migrants are no longer in “removal proceedings” and subject to deportation – the government’s default position for all migrants admitted at the border.

The migrants are under no obligation to leave the US, and once cases are dismissed, the person is no longer monitored by ICE and required to regularly check in with them, unlike those still pursuing asylum claims.

“If the case gets dismissed, you’re basically back to nothing,” Washington-based immigration lawyer Hector Quiroga told The Post, clarifying that migrants with dismissed cases can’t receive benefits or a work permit.

Quioga said for clients with “horrible” cases – ones where they are unlikely to ultimately prove they need asylum – “that’s better than having a deportation order.”

Once a migrant’s case is terminated, the person can re-apply for asylum or seek other forms of legal status in the US.

Bring the illegals in; feed, house, care for, and give a monthly check.

Issues a White House Pardon, then grant them USA Citizenship. Thus, having bought about 7+ Millions using Taxpayer $$$$$, he could use in Nov.

BTW: Some deeper Age and etc Demographics of the 11 Million Illegals already here in 2019.... Using the 2019 data for 2024 percentage base calculations.

Add Biden's estimated 14 Million Illegals in on top of the 11 million.

He may have actually ended up trying to buy, not 7 million, but 14+ Million Votes come Nov.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee says she has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer
[FoxNews] Jackson Lee previously battled breast cancer in 2011

U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, announced Sunday night that she is being treated for pancreatic cancer, but assured her constituents that she will soon be back at full strength.

Jackson Lee, 74, has been representing Texas' 18th congressional district for 30 years.

The congresswoman said she will "likely be occasionally absent from Congress" as she undergoes treatment, but emphasized that her office will continue to deliver the constituent services they "deserve and expect."
* A human pancreas transplant is incompatible. Perhaps a Rodent?
Jackson Lee previously battled breast cancer, having been diagnosed in 2011 before announcing the following year she was cancer free.

The Democrat served as a judge before she was elected to an at-large Houston City Council seat in 1989.

"Please keep me and my family in your prayers as you have always done. Know that you will remain in mine," she concluded. "As always, God bless you and God bless the United States of America."

Squalid wooden 'shantytown' springs up in Dem-run Oakland
Lots of the usual Daily Mail photos.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Shocking footage has emerged showing a gigantic 'shantytown' that has sprung up in Oakland, as the California city's slide into crime-ravaged squalor continues.

Michael Oxford, the host of CaliBased, posted a video on May 31 of massive temporary houses built along service roads that open up into main roads in Hooverville, Oakland.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
[Zelensky Campaigns for Biden]: Trump Would Be a 'Loser' President if He Forces a Peace Deal
[Breitbart] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed that if Donald Trump tries to force Kyiv into accepting a peace deal with Russia he would become a “loser” president and would risk sparking a Third World War.

While asserting that he has “no strategy yet” if former President Trump returns to the White House, Zelensky appeared to set out his opening negotiating position in case the presumptive Republican nominee and current frontrunner defeats 81-year-old Democrat President Joe Biden in November.

Speaking with Britain’s left-wing Guardian newspaper, Zelensky said of Trump’s desire to end the war: “Does he want to become a loser president? Do you understand what can happen?”

“This is not about him [Trump], as a person but about the institutions of the United States. They will become very weak. The US will not be the leader of the world any more. Yes, it will be powerful, first of all, in the domestic economy because it has a powerful economy without a doubt. But in terms of international influence, it will be equal to zero.”

Government Corruption
Biden Campaign Spokesman: Donald Trump is a Threat Joe Biden Will End
[Gateway] A member of Joe Biden’s campaign team went on television today and made an unhinged statement that could be construed as a nasty threat against President Trump.

As Gateway Pundit readers know, a rigged New York City jury convicted Trump on ALL 34 COUNTS in Alvin Bragg and corrupt Judge Juan Merchan’s lawfare case Thursday afternoon.

This outrageous travesty of justice was made possible by the Biden regime. They sicced Michael Colangelo, who previously worked in the Justice Department, to NYC to collude with Bragg to convict Trump on non-existent crimes.

The Biden campaign then openly celebrated the verdict and released a statement begging for donations following the success of their sinister operation.

Junior Biden campaign spokesman Michael Tyler appeared on Fox News’s MediaBuzz to discuss the garbage Trump verdict and his boss’s reaction to it. After whining that the 2024 Presidential Election was not a normal one because of Trump’s supposed threat to democracy, he stated that Joe Biden will end the threat of Donald Trump "once and for all."
Tyler is the Sub-Genius that brought DeNiro to speak
While some will say Tyler was speaking from a political standpoint, Trump supporters might draw a different conclusion.

#6  If Trump goes to prison after guilty verdict, Secret Service would have to go with him

But it seems the Democrats would like to remove that protection. Well, of course they would. From the link:

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, introduced the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act.

"Unfortunately, current law doesn’t anticipate how Secret Service protection would impact the felony prison sentence of a protectee — even a former President," Thompson said in a statement. "It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality."

#7  the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act.

As a general rule, if a bill or law has a clever acronym for a name, it is useless posturing and should never be passed.

While it pains me greatly to see America turning into a banana republic, the idea of President Trump running the country from jail like a Mexican drug lord appeals to my sense of the absurd. My only question, given the decay of so many of our institutions like the IRS and the FBI, is can the Secret Service be trusted? Maybe Blackwater could infiltrate the federal penitentiary system...

Home Front: Politix
DOJ claims it can't release Biden-Hur interview due to threat of AI deepfakes
[FoxNews] The Justice Department cannot release audio from President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur due to the threat of potential deepfakes, the DOJ argued in a Friday court filing.

The filing came as part of a legal challenge against Biden's efforts to exercise executive privilege over the recording to keep it from the public. The DOJ acknowledged in its Friday filing that there is already enough public audio available to create AI deepfakes of both Biden and Hur, but it said releasing the true recording would make it more difficult to disprove any false versions.

"The passage of time and advancements in audio, artificial intelligence, and ‘deep fake’ technologies only amplify concerns about malicious manipulation of audio files. If the audio recording is released here, it is easy to foresee that it could be improperly altered, and that the altered file could be passed off as an authentic recording and widely distributed," the department wrote.

Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer wrote in the filing that releasing the tape would "make it far more likely that malicious actors could pass off a deepfake as the authentic recording."

#9  Re #8: Back when I had a clearance, I was always taught that things were supposed to be classified because of the harm that they would do to the UNITED STATES. They were not supposed to because they would cause embarrassment to someone.
I realize that principal was not always followed.

#10  Well here's the news, Jack, he's setting up a scrum from his professional Rugby days.

I have been told, specifically, that if handed a FOIA Request it can't be refused because it may be embarrassing to the organization.

And I'll put a dollar down that if there were to be a 'Deep Fake' from the footage, it will be to make Brandon look better.

Donald Trump makes major statements after hush money conviction
[GEO.TV] Former US president Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
has made major revelations about himself and the case after hush money conviction in which the 12-member jury found him guilty on Thursday.

While speaking in an interview with Fox News Sunday, the 77-year-old Trump called himself opposite to what President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
and his Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
call the former president a threat to US democracy.

It is the first time that the business mogul has sat down with a popular US TV channel for an interview.

"Now I’m leading over this guy [Joe Biden].... who can’t put two sentences together, that’s destroying our country. Look, he’s the worst president in the history of this country, and he’s a danger to the country."

"And you know, they have misinformation — ’Donald Trump is a threat to democracy’ — it’s just words. He doesn’t even know what it means. But it’s like their slogan, ’I’m a threat to democracy.’ I’m the opposite. They’re the threat to democracy," the Republican presumptive nominee said.

President Joe Biden repeatedly called Trump a major threat to US democracy underlining the former commander-in-chief’s cases, unsubstantiated claims about elections, and his impeachments.

Thursday’s verdict marked history in the US in which Trump became the first former president to be convicted of a crime in New York City, for falsifying business records to pay hush money to an adult film star Stormy Daniels.
