Elon Musk calls to ban the carnal and sinful homosexual pride flags from all classrooms

Elon Musk Declares: “Pride Flags Should Be Banned from Classrooms, Permanently!” — A Controversial Statement That Ignites Heated Debate Over Inclusivity in Education!

By Edward Era Barbacena 

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of companies like Tesla and SpaceX, has once again stirred public debate with his recent statement asserting that “pride flags should be banned from classrooms, permanently!” This bold proclamation ignited a flurry of reactions from various segments of society, highlighting the increasingly polarized discussions surrounding issues of representation, identity, and education within America’s classrooms. Musk’s commentary reflects his broader perspective on freedom of speech and expression; however, it raises profound questions about the role of educational institutions in fostering inclusivity and promoting diverse identities.

At the heart of Musk’s argument lies a belief that the presence of pride flags in educational settings might compromise the neutrality of schools as safe spaces for all students. He suggests that educational environments should avoid any symbols or representations that could be perceived as politicizing the school atmosphere. Musk’s viewpoint appears to resonate with a segment of the population that feels that the proliferation of identity politics has gone too far, asserting that schools should focus on traditional educational values rather than social or political agendas. His comments propose a vision of classrooms that are devoid of any affiliations that might distract from academic pursuits and foster division among students.

 

Muslim mass shooter of Colorado found guilty of first degree murder of 10 white Americans 

The jury found Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa guilty of shooting and killing 10 people at the South Table Mesa King Soopers on March 22, 2021

By Edward Era Barbacena 

Jurors reached a verdict Monday afternoon in the Boulder grocery store shooting trial. The jury found muslim man Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa guilty of shooting and killing 10 people at the South Table Mesa King Soopers on March 22, 2021, in addition to guilty verdicts on dozens of other charges. 

Jurors had to determine whether Alissa, the gunman who admitted to the shooting, was legally sane at the time of the attack.

In addition to the guilty verdict on 10 counts of first-degree murder, the jury also found the gunman guilty on 38 counts of attempted first-degree murder, guilty of one count of assault in the first degree and guilty on six counts of possession of a large-capacity magazine during the commission of a felony. 

Gov. Jared Polis released the following statement on the guilty verdict, "Three years ago our community felt the unbearable pain of losing ten of our fellow Coloradans in a senseless attack on the Boulder community. That day loved ones, friends, and neighbors were taken from us far too soon by an act of pure evil. Today, justice is served. Though I know this guilty verdict won't heal the pain so many of us feel, or bring back those who were killed,  I hope that it can provide some peace. My thoughts are with the  family members and friends of Eric Talley, Rikki Olds, Teri Leiker, Denny Stong, Suzanne Fountain, Tralona Bartkowiak, Neven Stanisic, Lynn Murray, Jody Waters, and Kevin Mahoney, as well as the entire Boulder community. We are all still Boulder Strong."  

Alissa's brother talked to CBS News Colorado outside of the courthouse. He said that his brother's mental health changed gradually over time, "We know he changed since 2018 to 2021... three years of changing, it's not like overnight."

When asked how he felt about the families of the victims in the shooting, he responded, "I feel bad and sorry for the victims, of course, if I was to put myself in their shoes, I probably would want him dead."

Several family members of those killed in the shooting spoke during the victim impact statement portion of the sentencing hearing on Monday afternoon. 

"I wish the young man behind the gun would have received more love in his life because then maybe none of this would have happened," said Erika Mahoney, Kevin Mahoney's daughter.   

Alissa was arrested at the scene.

Testimony for the prosecution included witnesses who were in the store at the time of the shooting and police officers who were first on scene after reports of the shooting. That witness testimony included one woman who said she heard the gunman saying, "This is fun" while shooting people inside the store. 

Defense attorneys maintained that Alissa was suffering from a mental illness and didn't know right from wrong on the day of the shooting.

Opening statements in the trial began Sept. 5 after several years of delays due to the court working to determine whether the gunman was competent to stand trial.

Alissa pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to all of the charges including 10 counts of first-degree murder.

The verdict was read around 1:25 p.m. Sentencing is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. and will be broadcast live on CBS News Colorado's live stream.

 

American student from North Carolina who went out hiking found dead in South Africa 

Brook Cheuvront, 20, has been found dead after going missing while hiking a mountain in South Africa.

By Edward Era Barbacena 

A North Carolina student has been found dead a day after she went missing while hiking a mountain in South Africa, authorities and her “devastated” family said Monday.

Brook Cheuvront, 20, was reported missing Saturday from Table Mountain in Cape Town — where she was studying — after she stopped responding to friends and couldn’t be located on a tracking app, a rep for SANPark, which manages the mountain,.

Rangers and trail runners searched until late Saturday, when it was no longer practical to continue, spokesperson JP Louw said.

An aircraft joined the search Sunday — and found the American student’s body.

“She was recovered,” confirmed her dad, Steve Cheuvront, who had planned to fly in from North Carolina to help look for his daughter.

“We are devastated. God help me and us,” he wrote.

The cause of Cheuvront’s death is unclear and an investigation has been opened, according to authorities.

Cheuvront was a sophomore at the University of North Carolina who was in South Africa for an internship at the University of Cape Town.

The 20-year-old from of Newland, North Carolina, was also the 2022 valedictorian at Avery County High School, where she was a track runner.

SANParks said suggestions that there are “growing concerns of crime” at Table Mountain are “speculative and may cause unnecessary alarm which undermines worthy and successful efforts,” in a social media post on Monday.

 

Mass shooting in the US leaves four dead and 18 injured in Alabama

BBC: Birmingham Police A police car at the scene of Saturday night's shooting in Birmingham, AlabamaBirmingham Police

At least four people have been killed and 18 injured in a mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, police say.

“Multiple shooters fired multiple shots on a group of people” late on Saturday in the Five Points South area of the city, Birmingham police officer Truman Fitzgerald said.

Officers found the bodies of two men and one woman at the scene, while a third man later died of bullet wounds in hospital, Birmingham Police said

The culprits are believed to have approached the scene in a vehicle before getting out and opening fire. No suspects have been arrested.

He added that they believed the shooting was "not random and stemmed from an isolated incident where multiple victims were caught in the crossfire".

The shooting may have been a result of a murder-of-hire plot, Police Chief Scott Thurmond was quoted as saying by local news outlet Al.com.

The intended target was among those killed, Mr Thurmond said at a news conference on Sunday.

“It wasn’t the location, it was the person, so wherever the person was was where it was going to take place, wherever they can catch that individual,’’ Mr Thurmond said. "That’s just where they happened to catch them.”

The other victims - all of whom were standing outside - are so far believed to have been caught in the gunfire.

Four of the injured suffered life-threatening wounds, according to Mr Fitzgerald.

The BBC has contacted the Birmingham Police Department for comment.

Authorities are also pressing to find the shooters.

The police said in a statement that they are working with the FBI and other federal agencies, are offering a $5,000 reward for information and have opened a web portal for submitting photos and videos of the incident.

The Five Points South district is known for its nightlife. The shooting occurred on Magnolia Avenue, Mr Fitzgerald said.

Witnesses who were queuing outside a hookah and cigar lounge on Magnolia Avenue at the time told local news site Al.com that some of the gunfire sounded as though it came from a gun converted to be fully automatic.

Earlier on Sunday, Mr Fitzgerald had told reporters there were "dozens of gunshot victims" after the incident.

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin blamed "Glock switches" - devices that can be attached to handguns to make them fire automatically - for the violence, posting on social media on Sunday that they "are the number one public safety issue in our city and state".

"Converting a semi-automatic weapon into a fully automatic weapon that discharges all bullets within seconds doesn’t belong on our domestic streets," he wrote, adding that the city does not have the power to outlaw Glock switches, only the state.

There have been more than 400 mass shootings across the US so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people are injured or killed.

The incident in Birmingham is the second mass shooting to place in a two-month period, and the third quadruple homicide of 2024, according to Al.com.

 

Dirty old illegal immigrant sexually assaulted girl, 14, after authorities failed to deport him

Sam Sharma drugged and sexually abused a teenage girl for over a year.

By Edward Era Barbacena 

A filthy and dirty old muslim illegal immigrant paedhopile  managed to drug and sexually assault a “particularly vulnerable” 14-year-old girl after the Home Office “didn’t get round to” deporting him.

Sam Sharma, 34, from India, carried out shocking abuse of the child over more than 12 months after he’d spent 14 months in prison for racially abusing police officers as well as spitting and urinating on them. He also threatened to rape members of the officers’ families.

However, after his release from prison, he was not deported, despite being an illegal immigrant.

Sharma was allowed to roam the streets after his release because the Home Office “probably didn’t get round to it”, according to his defence counsel.

Sheriff Alison McKay has since jailed Sharma for a second time. His term is three years.

He was found guilty by a jury at Perth Sheriff Court of drugging and sexually abusing the teen in Dundee on 26 May 2023.

She said: “If he doesn't have a UK passport and it is correct that he has claimed asylum and been refused then Mr Sharma will be known. They can already deport Mr Sharma if they want to.

“I take the view that you are already within the sights of the Home Office and they will decide whether or not you will be deported.”

 

Baby found dead after being left in truck for hours; mother arrested

25-year-old Andrea Luncsford was taken into custody for endangering the life or health of an infant

By Edward Era Barbacena 

This is not the first time in the United States wherein a helpless infant died after being left in a vehicle during a very hot day.

A mother in Illinois has been arrested after her baby was pronounced dead in a yard Monday night.

According to Peoria police, officers were called to a residence at about 7 p.m. where they found a 1-month-old infant not breathing and unconscious.

The boy, later identified as Grayson, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood said the infant was pulled from a pickup truck and placed into a yard by his grandfather that evening where first responders found the boy.

Authorities said Grayson was left inside the truck for more than four hours.

According to an autopsy, the baby died from hyperthermia and severe dehydration.

Peoria police said Grayson’s mother 25-year-old Andrea Luncsford was taken into custody for endangering the life or health of the infant.

Luncsford has a criminal record dating back to 2019 where she has faced charges of aggravated battery of a peace officer on three previous occasions.

 

The 'Muslim Martin Luther’ Has Been Convicted of Rape

By Edward Era Barbacena 

It is impossible to overstate how shocking this is for those who have praised Ramadan to the skies for so very long. For many years, Tariq Ramadan was the darling of the Western intelligentsia. In 2002, Salon hailed him as “the Muslim Martin Luther.” In 2004, Time Magazine listed him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world today. In 2012, Foreign Policy included him on its list of the top 100 global thinkers “for telling us that Islam and democracy can go together — just when it matters.”

Now those accolades, and the many others that Ramadan received, stand as mute witness to the left’s tendency to shower with honors those who tell it what it wants to hear. Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported Tuesday that Ramadan has been “convicted on appeal of rape and sexual coercion by a Geneva court.” This has been a long time coming, as Ramadan has faced numerous accusations in recent years of “masking violence and radicalism behind a mild facade.”

For years, Ramadan dismissed such allegations as “racism” and “Islamophobia.” In a Dec. 2019 video, he claimed that the accusations against him were all an attempt to discredit him and thereby “neutralize the Muslims.” He added: “We have to be clear that there is discrimination, stigmatization, racism that is at stake in the whole issue. And I was a symbol. To destroy me meant, let the people understand: If you want to be vocal you have to face the reality. It happened to Tariq Ramadan now, it could happen to anyone in the future.”

Even worse, RFI reported in 2020, after two more women accused him of rape, that “supporters of Ramadan, who is a professor of contemporary Islamic studies at Oxford’s St. Anthony’s College, have called the accusations against him part of a ‘international Zionist plot’ to blacken his name.” Of course!

It couldn’t have been that a cosseted Muslim academic, hailed and feted all over Europe and the United States despite the abject vacuity and sinister disingenuousness of his thought, began to indulge his worst impulses, now, could it? He couldn’t have been tempted to do so when it became clear that, in light of his value to Western authorities as a “moderate Muslim” who seemed to prop up their fantasies about the jihad threat, he would be allowed to get away with virtually anything – could he?

“Virtually anything” is actually an understatement. One of his accusers said he subjected her to “blows to the face and body, forced sodomy, rape with an object and various humiliations, including being dragged by the hair to the bathtub and urinated on.” His sadism appears to have been, if one allegation is true, closely intertwined with his celebrated Islamic piety: another one of his accusers said he told her he was raping her because she didn’t wear a hijab. In a similar vein, as more and more women began to accuse him of rape, one of those accusers has already been beaten and threatened.

His public persona was shot through with duplicity. French journalist Caroline Fourest’s illuminating book "Brother Tariq: The Doublespeak of Tariq Ramadan" states that this much-lionized putative “Muslim Martin Luther” was actually anything but a reformer: in reality, Ramadan was “remaining scrupulously faithful to the strategy mapped out by his grandfather, a strategy of advance stage by stage” toward the imposition of Islamic law in the West. Ramadan is the grandson of Hasan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Fourest was the first to reveal, back in 2017, that Ramadan had at least four other victims besides the first woman who came forward, Henda Ayari. “A request for religious advice turned into a compulsive sexual relationship, sometimes consented to, often violent and very humiliating, before ending in threats.”

Fourest had evidence. “I presented it to a judge. But Tariq Ramadan scared him too much…. I am well-placed to know the violence of the networks of the Muslim Brotherhood when one stands up to ‘brother Tariq.’”

“It was a plot,” Ramadan insisted. “It was a political set up. And this could happen to anyone.” The worst part of this duplicitous whining is that even now that Ramadan has been convicted, there are hordes of deluded leftists who will fall for it.
