Marjorie Taylor Greene: Transgender women 'need to stay out of our rape crisis centers'

David Edwards
June 24, 2021

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Thursday called for transgender women to be banned from rape crisis centers.

During an appearance on Real America's Voice, host Steve Bannon asked Greene to speak out against transgender rights, which he called a "war on women."

Greene accused Democrats of "separating" people by their identities "whether it's transgenders, Blacks, Hispanics."

"They want everybody to be a victim and then they need them to be dependent on the Democrats and their policies and their plans and goals in order to be able to survive," she charged. "Now we have the Democrat [sic] Party that claims to be the champion for women. They claim that abortion is pregnancy rights but instead that's killing a baby in a woman's womb. It's actually the worst scar a woman can carry for the rest of her life."

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been suspended from practicing law in New York, according to the Supreme Court of New York Appellate Division, First Judicial Department. The suspension will continue as the Attorney Grievance Committees continue an investigation into Giuliani.

The court ruled that they found "there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump's failed effort at reelection in 2020."

They explained that the false statements bolstered Giuliani's narrative that there was widespread voter fraud and that the 2020 election was stolen from his client.

"Once the investigation is complete, the Committee may commence a formal proceeding in which the attorney has the right to be heard. If the Committee concludes that the attorney may face public discipline, then, consistent with the objective of 'protect[ing] the public, maintain[ing] the integrity and honor of the profession, or deter[ing] others from committing similar misconduct,' the matter is brought before the Appellate Division," the court said.

Hundreds of unmarked graves have been found near a former Catholic residential school for indigenous children in western Canada, local media reported late Wednesday.

Excavations at the site around the former school in Marieval, Saskatchewan began at the end of May. They followed the discovery of the remains of 215 schoolchildren at another former indigenous residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia, which sent shock waves through Canada.

The finds revived calls on the Pope and the Catholic church to apologize for the abuse and violence suffered by the students at these boarding schools, where they were forcibly assimilated into the dominant culture.

In a statement quoted by several Canadian media, including CBC and CTV, the native Cowessess community said it had made "the horrific and shocking discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves" during excavations at former Marieval boarding school.

BREAKING: Shocking Photos From DC Pedestrian Bridge Collapse That Hospitalized 4

By Ken Meyer Jun 23rd, 2021, 1:42 pm

A pedestrian bridge collapsed into the highway in Northeast Washington, D.C, resulting in several injuries and bringing traffic to a standstill in both directions.

The incident happened around noon when the bridge, located at Kenilworth Avenue and Polk Street NE, fell into the Interstate 295. Emergency services are on the scene and according to the official D.C. Fire and EMS Twitter account, 6 people have been checked out for injuries with 4 of them being transported to a hospital.

Photos and footage from the area show a major pile of concrete and twisted metal on both sides of the highway. It’s unclear how many vehicles got pinned underneath the bridge, but multiple reports corroborate that emergency personnel are addressing a fuel leak from a diesel truck caught in the collapse.

I can't forgive the people who won't admit my partner, Brian Sicknick, was a hero

Opinion by Sandra Garza

Updated 12:33 PM ET, Wed June 23, 2021

Editor's Note: Sandra Garza is a licensed clinical social worker and was the long-time partner of Brian Sicknick, the Capitol Police Officer who protected the US Capitol from pro-Trump rioters during the Jan. 6 insurrection and later died. The opinions expressed in this commentary are those of the author. Read more opinion on CNN. Watch Garza in conversation with Anderson Cooper on AC360 Wednesday at 8 PM ET.

(CNN) - In late 2008, while on a popular dating site, I received a message in my inbox from a good-looking, dark-haired man with gorgeous blue eyes saying, "Hi, how are you?" I responded, and before I knew it, we were chatting regularly for weeks. He told me that he used to be in the Air National Guard, was originally from New Jersey, and was nearing the end of his training to be a US Capitol Police Officer. It was Brian D. Sicknick.

When we finally were ready to meet for our first date, he made an odd request. Meet for breakfast? I came to learn that breakfast was his favorite meal of the day, particularly blueberry pancakes. Brian was very quiet, shy almost, and had an innocence about him that was incredibly endearing. We bonded over our love of animals, our military experience, and our passion for helping others -- he as an officer, me as a clinical social worker.

Soon, we moved in together — for 11 years, through the good, the bad and the ugly, the belly laughs, birthdays, Thanksgivings, Christmases, road trips, vacations, heartbreaking losses and moves to new homes. Last July we took a break from our relationship to figure out our futures. He kept our dachshunds; I babysat them when he worked late. We remained incredibly close.

On the morning of January 6, 2021, Brian reminded me that I needed to stay overnight to be with the dachshunds because there were pro-Trump protests happening over the outcome of the election. He said he would not be coming home until late the following day.

Republican official in Ohio faces charge for voting twice in November election

Source: NBC News


"I was simply trying to execute a dying man’s wishes," Ed Snodgrass said.

June 22, 2021, 5:23 PM EDT

By Corky Siemaszko

Republican lawmakers in Ohio pushing for more “safety and security” at the ballot box can now point to a clear example of voter fraud in the November 2020 presidential election.

Unfortunately for them, it involves another Republican.

Edward Snodgrass, who is a Porter Township trustee, has admitted to forging his dead father’s signature on an absentee ballot and then voting again as himself, court records and other sources revealed.

Snodgrass was busted after a Delaware County election worker questioned the signature on his father’s ballot. A subsequent investigation revealed the ballot had been mailed to H. Edward Snodgrass on Oct. 6 — a day after the 78-year-old retired businessman died.
