The school does not want to press charges, but the Archdiocese of Los Angeles said it will be a "complaining party." Sisters Mary Margaret Kreuper and Lana Chang took money from tuition, fees and donations at St. James Catholic School in Torrance, south of Los Angeles. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles said the missing funds were discovered during a routine audit and it is believed the nuns stole...

144
TEXAS - December 7, 2018 Police and law enforcement agencies in Texas earned more than $50 million in 2017 from the confiscation of people's property. Officials call it the fight against crime, but in fact it turns out that crime is generated by the police, where money is obtained fraudulently. In February 2016, one such case occurred with the owner of a Chevrolet Silverado truck when Houston police had seized the vehicle after surveilling its driver, Macario Hernandez, and pulling him over after he left his house. They took the truck to court, hoping to keep it or sell...

203
AUGUSTA, MAINE – December 6, 2018 A rush of transgender propaganda has flooded the media, not just in America and in Canada but all across the world, determined to ram transgenderism down society’s throat. Supporters of this movement are convinced that wishful thinking is above reality, and those who resist transgender mania are constantly attacked. As for us, there’s something intrinsically creepy about the whole transgender idea. Pretend all you want, say all you want, but the idea of a man asking to be castrated, taking hormone shots, and putting on a dress makes one’...

Elementary School Teacher Charged With Sexual Assault of Students in Nebraska
115
OMAHA – December 6, 2018 Pedophilia is a serious problem in the US, and this is fair to say not only about the “traditionally” criminal parts of the country--big cities like New York and Los Angeles, but also in case of quiet rural areas, where everybody basically knows one another. And now Nebraska is another good example of this social disease. You never know who’s going to be teaching your kid in elementary school, but you do expect them to like heroes, opening up the wide world of education to them, to get them interested in the subjects they’ll continue to study as...
