Former sniper, 40, quits U.S. Army and moves to Britain to become a woman after falling in love with lesbian student, 29 - Sniper Charles Pontiero changed his name to Alessia
Posted on 20:29 by Unknown
A former military sniper has quit the U.S. army and moved to Britain where she lives as a woman with her lesbian lover.
Former-squaddie Charles Pontiero, 40, is saving up for sex-change surgery after settling down in Coventry, West Midlands, with girlfriend Maria.
After meeting student Maria, 29, online, Charles changed her name by deed poll to Alessia - and swapped a life in the army for a job as an actress.
The blonde claims that she's finally decided to make the change and live openly as a woman
in the UK because it's easier to change sex in Britain than the U.S.
in the UK because it's easier to change sex in Britain than the U.S.
Alessia, who has married three times and has two teenage children, said: 'I always felt more like a girl than a boy, but I felt like I had to hide my female side when I was in the army.
'I didn't feel like I was really being myself.
'My family have a military background, so it felt like it was always the thing that I was going to do - but it wasn't right for me.
'My family have always known that I feel more woman than man, so there were no surprises when I told them that I wanted to live as a woman.

At Boston's Concord-Carlisle High a Muslim poem is read for 9/11, the Pledge of Allegiance is not
Posted on 20:50 by Unknown
The principal of Concord Carlisle High School is apologizing to parents about the school’s opening ceremony on Wednesday - the 12th anniversary of 9/11 - in which a Muslim poem was recited over the intercom but the Pledge of Allegiance was not.
Principal Peter Badalament said in a statement to parents that the poem was meant to promote "cross-cultural understanding," and that the Pledge of Allegiance was not read because of a mixup with the student reader.
The combination of the two has "outraged a small number of members of our community," Badalament said in an email to the Globe, noting that the school has received a handful of calls and about 10 emails from unhappy parents.
"Yesterday was the first Wednesday of the school year; we were unaware that our student Pledge reader had an internship commitment on this day," Badalament said in the statement.. "This was our responsibility to know. We humbly apologize that this oversight and communication gap occurred."
Badalament said officials were only thinking of the well-being of their students when they chose to read the poem, Mohja Kahf's "My Grandmother Washes Her Feet in the Sink of the Bathroom at Sears." The poem recounts a granddaughter's account of watching her grandmother adhere to the religious Muslim custom of washing her feet five times a day, though it puts the pair in an awkward situation at an American department store.
Kahf writes in a section of the poem:
Respectable Sears matrons shake their heads and frown
as they notice what my grandmother is doing,
an affront to American porcelain,
a contamination of American Standards
by something foreign and unhygienic
requiring civic action and possible use of disinfectant spray
They fluster about and flutter their hands and I can see
a clash of civilizations brewing in the Sears bathroom
Badalament said the district will "integrate the feedback that has been offered into our future work with students."
Sad to hear that FOX NEWS is now pandering to ass eating & ass banging faggots - Fox News Raises the Rainbow Flag
Posted on 20:45 by Unknown
“Fox News joins the Pro-Homosexual Media Bandwagon” – so says Peter LaBarbera in a 40,000-word expose that flaunts over 220 footnotes. (Read the full report here: Unfair, Unbalanced and Afraid).
While Sean Hannity chooses silence and John Stossel passive acceptance, rising star Megyn Kelly plays trans-gender advocate for Chaz Bono, then drops the “hate card” on the psychiatrist who disagrees.
Bernie Goldberg pushes “Jesus is just alright with” gay, then implies that the Biblical heroes David and Jonathan were homosexual as were Ruth and Naomi. Sean Hannity? – Still mum.
Bill O’Reilly bashes an ex-gay; Elizabeth Hasselbeck calls pope’s opposition to “gay marriage” – “inhumane.” Stossel? – Still indifferent.
Shep Smith graces the annual report of “Out” magazine’s 50 Most Powerful Homosexuals (he does have dreamy eyes), Fox News Channel fronts tens of thousands of dollars for a Gay and Lesbian Journalists group, and Chris Wallace probes Ron Paul’s homophobia. Stossel? He’s down with gay and thinks polygamy is just groovy.
Five out of five of “The Five” agree with the “evolved” Obama on same-sex marriage; Fox hires “out” lesbian, liberal Sally Kohn – and I think Hannity just blinked.
Do your eyes deceive you? This must be about MSNBC; Fox News is the conservative network, right?
The part that really kicked me in the pants was the Pew Research Study that confirmed that Fox News had a pro “gay marriage” bias and that even liberal NPR was more “Fair and Balanced” on the issue than was Fox.
“Conservatives of all stripes had high hopes for Fox News to offset the overwhelming liberal bias of the dominant “mainstream” media networks,” writes LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH; www.aftah.org), a Chicago-based organization dedicated to exposing and opposing the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) activist movement.
If LaBarbera is anything, he is fair as he is thorough! His report asks some critical questions:
– Is Sean Hannity afraid of the “gay issue”?
– Is Shepard Smith the next Anderson Cooper?
– Is Megyn Kelly the new hero to the gay lobby?
– Will Glenn Beck join the new gay crusade?
– Where is John Stossel, the champion of liberty, on the biggest threat to religious liberty in American history?
– Why is Fox News subsidizing a “gay” journalists association?
– Why does Fox humanize one side of the debate while marginalizing and demonizing the other?
– Why is Fox so averse to having a “fair and balanced” debate, with a real “pro-family” conservative as a counterpoint?
“But Fox, mimicking current trends in the Republican Party with which it is often identified,” LaBarbera continues, “– has increasingly adopted a libertarian brand of ‘conservatism’ that eschews or downplays social issues, especially homosexuality, as too ‘divisive.’ Thus Fox News’ coverage – including conservative advocacy programs like the ‘Sean Hannity Show’– has in recent years tended to downplay homosexual-related issues,” added LaBarbera. “(This is at odds with Ronald Reagan, who advocated social conservatism as one of the three legs of the conservative stool – the others being fiscal responsibility and a strong defense and foreign policy.)”
When a “news” organization decides what stories they will share and which to shelve, they are committing censorship by omission. In contrast to MSNBC’S more overt “in the bag” gayhem, the majority of Fox hosts just pretend the issue doesn’t exist.
Even in the broil of the same-sex “marriage” debate, Hannity rarely raised the issue and when it did come up, he looked like he was auditioning for the role of Chief Inspector Dreyfus in a Pink Panther remake: *Eye-twitch – “Let not your hearts be troubled,” followed by a butt shift and an uncomfortable segue to safer subjects, like treason or Benghazi, then throw the Nerf football to Camera #2. “It’s a wrap!”

UPDATE ON NYPD POLICE SHOOTING WHERE 2 BYSTANDERS GOT SHOT - Crazed black man had 'death wish' before taunting cops near Times Square into shooting two: sources
Posted on 20:33 by Unknown

The deranged, unarmed man whose wild antics Saturday night led cops to open fire near Times Square, wounding two bystanders with stray bullets, had a death wish, a police source said Sunday.
“He told investigators that he wanted to die,” the source said, adding that Glenn Broadnax had been smoking marijuana. “He told police he was off his medication and that he heard voices in his head, that people were talking to him.”
The Bedford-Stuyvesant man, described by cops as emotionally disturbed, had 23 prior arrests for offenses such as assault, robbery and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.
The fracas at busy W. 42nd St. and Eighth Ave. broke out about 9:36 p.m. when Broadnax attempted to evade cops who were trying to stop him from weaving between vehicles, cops said.
"This individual was blocking traffic and appeared to be attempting to be hit by cars when a police officer on foot patrol attempted to take him into custody," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said hours later.
Broadnax, 35, was unharmed in the shooting and unarmed when he was arrested, police said.

Mother of Murdered teen Miguel Delgado wails: ‘Why did he have to kill my son?’ at the Cook County Criminal Court Building - Offender yells back, "Because he was a piece of shit who was shooting at my people!!!!"
Posted on 20:25 by Unknown
The mother of a slain 19-year-old wailed after laying eyes on her son’s alleged killer.
“Why did he have to kill my son?” she cried out Sunday at the Leighton Criminal Court Building.
Just moments before, Manuel Gonzalez’s bond had been set at $1 million in the Wicker Park murder.
Gonzalez, 29, of the 2600 block of North Sacramento, is charged with fatally shooting Miguel Delgado early Saturday in the 1500 block of North Milwaukee, across the street from Nick’s Beer Garden, shortly after closing time about 2:20 a.m., authorities said. Delgado died minutes later.
Gonzalez also is accused of trying to kill two others, a 20-year-old and an 18-year-old, authorities said.
Gonzalez allegedly shot Delgado in the head after he and two others got into an argument with Delgado and two other men “regarding rival gang affiliation,” Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Christina Brewer said in court Sunday.
The verbal argument escalated and Delgado “threw a punch” at one of Gonzalez’s pals, Brewer said. “The defendant pulled out a gun and fatally shot the victim in the head,” she said.

Oops... New York police shoot, injure two bystanders while pursuing man
Posted on 02:01 by Unknown
New York police fired on a man who was acting erratically Saturday night at a busy midtown intersection in Manhattan, wounding two bystanders, according to social media and news media reports.
“OMG just witnessed NYPD gun down a pedestrian in Times Square,” Kerri Ann Nesbeth, a witness to the shooting, wrote on Twitter. She posted a photo of a man, in blue jeans and a white T-shirt, sprawled on his back on the sidewalk, blood apparently staining the fabric around his right knee. The man is reaching up to hold what appears to be a walker.
“This cannot be happening in front of me,” she wrote in another Twitter post.

It's not a black birthday party unless somebody gets shot or killed! Man Killed Woman Trying To Leave His Birthday Party: Prosecutors. Tyrese Orr is up the river without an oar
Posted on 21:51 by Unknown
A North Lawndale man who felt disrespected when a woman called for a ride home from his birthday party and fatally shot her, was finally captured by police more than a year later, according to prosecutors.
Tyrese Orr, 36, of the 1800 block of South Springfield Avenue was charged this week with first-degree murder for the death of 22-year-old Michelle Gregory on April 14, 2012, authorities said.
Gregory was driving around with two female friends after work when one of them received a phone call from two men they worked with inviting them to a house party near 19th and Springfield, according to court documents.
It was a birthday gathering for Orr, whom the women had never met, according to court documents. An unidentified man began flirting with Gregory, which made her uncomfortable because she had a boyfriend, prosecutors said.
NO H8? -- BOMBSHELL BOOK: MATTHEW SHEPARD TORTURED, MURDERED BY FAGGOT GAY LOVER
Posted on 21:47 by Unknown
Almost everything you think you know about the Matthew Shepard narrative is false.
Matthew Shepard was the winsome young homosexual in Laramie, Wyoming who in October 1998 was tortured, killed, and left hanging grotesquely from a fence. He was discovered almost a day later and later died in the hospital from his horrific wounds.
On the night of October 6, Shepard met “two strangers” in the Fireside Lounge in Laramie. The two men offered Shepard a ride home but instead drove him to a remote area, robbed him, beat him with pistols, and left him splayed on a fence.
Cops found the bloody gun along with Shepard’s shoes and wallet in the truck of the two men --- Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson.
McKinney and Henderson claimed the "gay panic" defense, that they freaked out when Shepard came onto them sexually and killed him in a rage. They made other claims, too, but were convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Almost immediately Shepard became a secular saint, and his killing became a kind of gay Passion Play where he suffered and died for the cause of homosexuality against the growing homophobia and hatred of gay America.
Under Pres. Obama's Watch - ICE Released 2,837 Convicted Alien Sex Offenders to Comply With Supreme Court Ruling
Posted on 21:42 by Unknown
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released 2,837 convicted criminal alien sex offenders back into American communities in order to comply with a Supreme Court decision authored by Clinton-appointed Justice Stephen Breyer, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
The 2,837 sex offenders represented five percent of the 59,347 deportable aliens that have been released from detention under the supervision of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to the GAO report, which was released Thursday.
“There are circumstances in which criminal aliens who have been ordered removed from the United States – including those convicted of a sex offense – cannot be removed,” the report states. “For example, a criminal alien may not be removed because the designated country will not accept the alien’s return.”
The GAO report refers to the 2001 Supreme Court case Zadvydas v. Davis to explain why ICE is required to release foreigners who have been convicted of sex crimes. In its 5-4 decision, the court ruled that the indefinite detention of removable aliens for greater than six months is unconstitutional unless there is “significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future.”
“Freedom from imprisonment lies at the heart of the liberty protected by the Due Process Clause,” Associate Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in the majority opinion. Breyer was joined in this opinion by J.P. Stevens (a Gerald Ford apppointee), Sandra Day O'Connor (a Reagan appointee), Ruth Bader Ginsburg (a Clinton appointee), and David Souter (a George H.W. Bush appointee).
But writing for the minority, Justice Antonin Scalia (a Reagan appointee) said: "Insofar as a claimed legal right to release into this country is concerned, an alien under final order of removal stands on an equal footing with an inadmissable alien at the threshold of entry: He has no such right."
Justice Anthony Kennedy (also a Reagan appointee) concurred, noting that "the authority to detain beyond the removal period is to protect the community, not to negotiate the aliens' return... An alien's admission to this country is conditioned upon compliance with our laws, and removal is the consequence of a breach of that understanding."
Justice Clarence Thomas (a George H.W. Bush appointee) and William Rehnquist (a Nixon appointee) also dissented from Breyer's opinion.
The GAO report also revealed that large numbers of convicted alien sex offenders that ICE did in fact manage to deport from the country simply turned around and came back in--and then committed another offense inside the United States.
"According to the data that ICE-ERO provided to us," said the GAO report, "of 4359 alien sex offenders who were removed from the country between January and August 2012, 220 of them (5 percent) had previously been removed but subsequently returned to the United States and were arrested for another offense."
Also, about five percent of released aliens sex offenders did not register as sex offenders in the communities where they settled as required by federal law. “The risk that alien sex offenders will reside in U.S. communities without being registered is increased,” the GAO concluded.

Sheriff Tom Dart off to Paris to see if this man is connected to the rape & murder of his prized Cook County Jail Chicken! Artist arrested after dancing with a chicken tied to his penis at the Eiffel Tower
Posted on 09:14 by Unknown
Tourists at the Eiffel Tower in Paris had a shock on Tuesday when an artist dressed in a garter and tights emerged before them with a rooster tied to his penis with a ribbon.
At around 9.30am, South African artist Steven Cohen emerged from a car and joined the crowds at Place du Trocadero, under the shadow of the world-famous monument, for a spot of breakfast-time performance art. Dressed in a bird outfit, and shuffling over to a prominent spot on the public square, Cohen began dancing about, with a cock tied to his penis with a long ribbon.
ressed in high-heeled platform shoes and wearing a garter, thigh-length tights, and long red gloves, and with long, wild feathers emanating from his head and hands, Cohen began “walking” the chicken up and down before crowds of tourists. “He danced with the cock for around ten minutes, before being arrested by the police,” his lawyer said. Perhaps inevitably, Cohen was held by Paris police on charges of indecent exposure, before being released later in the day.
His lawyer expressed her disgust with the duration of his arrest, saying: “It’s a disgrace. With this performance, Steven Cohen wanted to evoke his situation, split between two countries. South Africa, his native land, and France, where he lives at the moment,” she explained. “France is throwing artists in prison,” she added. Cohen was released after questioning on Tuesday evening and is due to appear in court on December 16th.

Three weeks after Jonathon Brandmeier signed off as morning personality at WGN AM 720, he’s back behind a microphone — and out of control.
Starting today, Brandmeier will be heard live from 6 to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday online at WGN.fm, a virtual station being designed to incorporate audio, video and social media components. Today’s show had been billed as a one-time test, but instead will air each weekday “for the foreseeable future,” according to Jimmy deCastro, president and general manager of the Tribune Broadcasting news/talk station and related media ventures.
“Johnny doesn’t want a lot of hoopla or a whole bunch of publicity,” deCastro said. “He just wants to go on and do his show and connect with his audience.”
It's the most popular place for colored folks to go..... Cook County Jail's inmate population rising
Posted on 03:55 by Unknown
With his burglary case stuck in the court system for the past two years, Reginald Brown has plenty of time to consider his future. Sitting in a mental health unit at Cook County Jail, he gazes at a piece of paper with a cross colored on it that he taped to the bottom of the bunk over his own bed.
“It’s where I pray to God that something good will happen for me, that maybe this time I don’t have to go to prison,” he said in a recent interview.
Brown, who says he has schizophrenia, is one of the mentally ill inmates swelling the jail’s population.
After dipping to 8,900 in 2011, the average annual jail population — primarily inmates awaiting trial — has been on the rise, with the daily count now frequently more than 10,000, the highest totals since 2007. About 5 percent of detainees at the jail have been awaiting trial for more than two years, according to the sheriff’s office.
With that rise in population, Chicago has regained its spot, once held by Houston, as home of the most populous single-site jail in the country — and also effectively Illinois’ largest mental health facility.

Waterspouts over Lake Michigan spotted & captured on camera

Tornadoes over Lake Michigan? Yeah, but call ’em ‘waterspouts’
Two waterspouts that formed over Lake Michigan near Kenosha, Wis., drew looks of awe Thursday afternoon, as well as calls to local police from concerned citizens. “I saw them from an overpass on my way to work,” said Kenosha Police Capt. Tom Hansche. The waterspouts, which are funnel clouds that develop over water, spun southeast and dissipated harmlessly over the lake. They lasted for about 15 minutes beginning just after 1 p.m., causing no damage on land or to boaters. “We did get a number of calls from people who wanted to know what was going on,” Hansche said.
Will County Sheriff Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas ordered a detective to hack his wife's iPhone to see if the little slut was cheating????
Posted on 19:36 by Unknown
A former Will County Sheriff’s Department detective claims he was demoted after he complained that a high-ranking officer who is related to Sheriff Paul Kaupas ordered the computer expert to hack into the officer’s wife’s iPad to find out if she was cheating on him.
In a lawsuit filed today in Will County, former detective Josh Fazio said Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas, a cousin of Sheriff Paul Kaupas, ordered him in 2012 to crack the pass code on his wife’s iPad to investigate “whether she was cheating.” When Fazio asked his superior, Sgt. Dan Troike, if he should do as Ken Kaupas asked, Troike told him yes, the lawsuit states.
“I can’t imagine in what universe that is legitimate police work,” Fazio’s attorney Michael Booher said this afternoon.
Two years earlier, the suit states, Lt. Jeff McKenzie asked Fazio to send him a pornographic DVD while the lieutenant was attending the FBI academy, “because (the lieutenant) apparently had no Internet there.”
Google Jet Fleet Loses a Pentagon Fuel Perk - Questions Raised about Founders Use for Non-Government Flights
Posted on 19:34 by Unknown
Google Inc. GOOG -0.35% founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin may have to dig deeper to operate their fleet of private jets, after the U.S. Department of Defense ended a little-known arrangement that for years allowed the tech billionaires to travel on sharply discounted jet fuel bought from the Pentagon.
The agreement between the Google founders and the government, which started in 2007, ended Aug. 31 after officials at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration—which sponsored the arrangement—opted not to renew it, according to a Pentagon spokeswoman.
Associated Press
Google co-founders Sergey Brin, left, and Larry Page, pictured in 2008.
The move followed discussions earlier this year between the Pentagon and NASA over whether the Google founders may have exceeded contract terms by using fuel for non-government flights, according to a letter from a Pentagon official released by Sen. Charles Grassley.
Sen. Grassley, an Iowa Republican, said he is seeking an audit of the arrangement by the Pentagon's inspector general. "Are some executives getting a special deal on fuel that isn't available to other businesses?" he asked, saying the setup raises concerns about the government's role as a "fair broker with businesses and responsible steward of tax dollars."
The relationship with the Google founders already is part of an ongoing audit by NASA's inspector general, an official in that office said.
The cheap fuel for the Google executives came courtesy of a special agreement with NASA, whose Ames Research Center is based at Moffett Federal Airfield, a former U.S. Navy base that is the most convenient airport to Google's Mountain View, Calif., headquarters, about three miles away.
