[TheBlaze] Inmate sentenced to 24 years for brutal murder of leader of international child porn ring in Michigan prison.
An inmate was sentenced to 24 more years in prison after admitting to ruthlessly killing a fellow prisoner – who was a convicted child predator.
Adam Taylor Wright pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the 2019 death of Christian Maire at the Milan Correctional Facility in Milan, Michigan. On Wednesday, United States District Court Judge Paul D. Borman sentenced Wright to 24 years and four months for the brutal murder. Wright's sentence will run concurrently/consecutively to the sentences of imprisonment he is serving for other crimes.
On Jan. 2, 2019, Wright and his co-inmates Alex Albert Castro, 42, and Jason Dale Kechego, 41, killed fellow prisoner Maire, according to court documents.
"Specifically, Wright and Kechego repeatedly kicked and stomped Maire in the head, and Wright prevented corrections officers from intervening while Castro repeatedly stabbed Maire," according to the Department of Justice. "Wright, along with his two co-defendants, then worked together to throw Maire’s body down a flight of stairs. Maire died from multiple stab wounds (28 total) and blunt force trauma to the head." So Maire finished his life sentence?

The unsaid background to this is that an awful lot of the guys in the joint have history of being on the receiving end of child abuse.
Karma's a bitch.

[FoxNews] 74% of the arrests involved alleged crimes against students.
Nearly 270 public educators were arrested on child sex-related crimes in the U.S. in the first nine months of this year, ranging from grooming to raping underage students.
An analysis conducted by Fox News Digital found that from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, at least 269 educators were arrested, which works out to roughly one arrest a day.
The 269 educators included four principals, two assistant principals, 226 teachers, 20 teacher's aides and 17 substitute teachers.
At least 199 of the arrests, or 74%, involved alleged crimes against students.
"According to that research, the scale of sexual abuse in the public schools is nearly 100 times greater than that of the Catholic Church," Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said.
The analysis looked at local news stories week by week featuring arrests of K-12 principals, assistant principals, teachers, substitute teachers and teachers’ aides on child sex-related crimes in school districts across the country. Arrests that weren't publicized were not counted in the analysis, meaning the true number may well be higher.
Only 43 of the alleged crimes, or 16%, did not involve students. It is not known whether another 10% of the alleged crimes involved students.
Men also made up the vast majority, with over 80% of the arrests.
There are an estimated 3.2 million public school teachers in the country, meaning the arrests compiled by Fox News Digital make up only 0.0084%.
"The number of teachers arrested for child sex abuse is just the tip of the iceberg — much as it was for the Catholic Church prior to widespread exposure and investigation in the early 2000s," Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The best available academic research, published by the Department of Education, suggests that nearly 10% of public school students suffer from physical abuse between kindergarten and twelfth grade."
"According to that research, the scale of sexual abuse in the public schools is nearly 100 times greater than that of the Catholic Church," he said. "The question for critics who seek to downplay the extent of public-school sexual abuse is this: How many arrests need to happen before you consider it a problem? How many children need to be sexually abused by teachers before you consider it a crisis?"
Many of the arrests in Fox News Digital’s latest analysis involved especially heinous allegations.

Yeah, but, but Catholic Priests! Modern 'journalism' is about covering stories with a pillow till they kill them when they don't support the party or its agents.

So the women numbers are low because boys dont report it as much. These numbers, totals, seem a little low. Pedo's go to where the children are, the church, the schools, day care, etc.

The main reason that you always hear about Catholic priests when they're caught, and not about teachers: the teachers have a union willing to cover for them.
Of course, the anti-Catholic press doesn't help.
NOTE: I am in no way defending priests who commit crimes. But anti-Catholicism is about the only acceptable prejudice these days.

[FOX] A decade after the Army ended a recruiting program embroiled in accusations of fraud and mismanagement, more than 2,400 soldiers who were never charged with wrongdoing are likely shackled by a misleading flag on their criminal records.
"We are branded as criminals," Army Capt. Gilberto De Leon told Fox News. "There was times where I broke down on my knees ... My career ruined, about to lose my pension. How am I gonna support my family of eight?"
Soldiers and veterans say they’ve lost jobs, been denied bank loans or weapons permits, and suffered other consequences because of an obscure Army process that treats anyone who is merely investigated for wrongdoing as guilty.
"I did nothing wrong," said South Carolina Army National Guard Capt. Benjamin Sternemann, who was several years into a career as a police officer when the flag popped up on his background check. "I was never arrested and never charged. And I lost my job anyway."

...Well, one can't possibly expect the 0's who approved and oversaw the program to be held responsible now, can you...?

Shortly after the first Gulf War the question of what would be Gulf War Syndrome surfaced. The Army was tasked to investigate. They appointed a board/team to do the work. They did it with Temporary Duty (TDY) assignment. In service terms that meant it had to be done in 180 days. Working backward from day 180 and calculating all the organizing and staffing of the team, collecting data, sending out the preliminary report, getting feedback and then do a second rewrite and staffing with everyone who gets a say as in 'Mother May I', left about 30 days to do actual work. Totally insufficient as it required subsequent follow ups to CYWP. Anyone mindful of the Agent Orange debacle should have known not to do that, but they did. It's the damn bureaucracy of the institution.
[Garowe] The United States has yet again expressed concerns about the ongoing war within the Tigray region, noting that the offensive by Æthiopian and Eritrea ...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age... n troops should be immediately stopped to avoid further destruction in the northern region of the country.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in yet another letter, has asked Addis Ababa and Asmara to abide by previous agreements which he said were binding, noting that the Shire region has been persistently targeted by the forces, leading to loss of lives, particularly the civilian population.
"The United States is deeply concerned over reports of increasing violence, loss of life, indiscriminate targeting of civilians, and destruction in the conflict in northern Æthiopia, particularly around the Shire in the Tigray region," Blinken said in a statement.
"We call on the Æthiopian National Defense Forces and Eritrean Defense Forces to immediately halt their joint military offensive and for Eritrea to withdraw its forces from northern Æthiopia," added the statement, which comes at the time the country is struggling with the second wave of offensive.
Since August, renewed hostilities have left over 50 people dead mainly children and women, with the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Human Rights body saying it has evidence to show that atrocities have been committed in the region. The Right's body maintained that national troops have caused mass murder.
To this end, the United States wants the warring parties to respect human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. especially by halting the ongoing offensive under the pretext of targeting the Tigray People's Liberation Front [TPLF]. The TPLF, which expressed interest to participate in talks, has been accusing Eritreans of committing war crimes in the country.
"We further call on the Tigrayan Defense Forces to cease provocative actions. The fighting since the August 24 operation by the Tigrayan Defense Forces near Kobo in the Amhara Region contributed to the return to hostilities, which greatly increases the risk of atrocities and further human rights abuses," Blinken said.
"It is incumbent on all armed actors to respect and protect civilians, and we call on them to allow unhindered humanitarian access to all Æthiopians in need."
The US further revealed that it's in talks with Tigray and Addis Ababa to push for African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... -led mediation, which was postponed last week. The talks were supposed to take place in South Africa, but Tigray officials and other stakeholders decried of lack of preparedness.
"We reiterate that the government of Æthiopia and Tigray regional authorities should immediately cease all hostilities and participate seriously in the forthcoming African Union-led peace talks," the US noted.
"The United States is fully engaged with the African Union, the governments of Kenya and South Africa, and other international and regional partners to organize and mediate peace talks as soon as possible."
Washington has been pushing for a ceasefire in the two-year-old conflict which has left thousands of people dead and millions displaced. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has been accused of perpetuating the war at the expense of civilians.

Our infamous Russian stooge badanov used to report extensively on the activities of the Mexican Marines. As I recall, the Marines were regarded as both honest and effective which, Mexico being Mexico, made them both rare and useful.

To the right of the Bloid of Page 1 (and similarly placed on pages 2-6) badanov’s Mexican dispatches are collected for sale under the title The Wounded Eagle: Three Years in the Mexican Drug War 2010-2013. Highly recommended.

[ZERO] A group of leading Congressional Democrats are seeking to punish longtime US ally Saudi Arabia for the latest "shock" oil output cuts recently announced by OPEC, which was taken by the Biden administration as a direct slap in the face and shot across the bow.
Senator Chris Murphy and Rep. Ro Khanna are leading the charge to get advanced anti-air missile systems which the Pentagon has stationed in Saudi Arabia removed and transferred to Ukraine. The systems were sent there over the past several years following an uptick in missile and drone attacks by Yemeni Houthi rebel attacks on Saudi cities and energy infrastructure coming from the south. Using US Power to achieve Democrat party success in the Midterm election should be an impeachable offense. Do it
Murphy announced in a Thursday statement, "For several years, the US military has deployed Patriot missile defense batteries to Saudi Arabia to help defend oil infrastructure against missile and drone attacks. These advanced air and missile defense systems should be re-deployed to bolster the defenses of eastern flank NATO allies like Poland and Romania — or transferred to our Ukrainian partners."
As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Murphy also lent his voice to ongoing calls to "freeze new military aid to Saudi Arabia" - which would possibly impact the pending sale and transfer of Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) to Riyadh based on a previously approved contract of $650 million
"Policy decisions have consequences, and these steps would right-size [the] relationship with Saudi Arabia and help Ukraine," he said this week. The Congressional movement to drastically reevaluate and change the US-Saudi arms relationship has gained traction ever since the October 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, as well as growing alarm over Saudi massacres in Yemen and the dire humanitarian situation.
