An illegal immigrant from Venezuela who is accused of killing nursing student Laken Riley near the University of Georgia campus in February was hit with a “peeping Tom” charge Tuesday.

Fox News reported 26-year-old José Antonio Ibarra, who police say beat and suffocated 22-year-old Riley in Athens on Feb. 22, was indicted on 10 charges by a Georgia grand jury Tuesday afternoon.

The Venezuelan national had already been charged with murder, but the 10-count charging document also alleges Ibarra had “spied upon” a UGA staff member through a window on the day of Riley’s brutal killing.

A copy of the inducement obtained by Fox News and signed by District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez laid out the circumstances of the charge.

The indictment said Ibarra “did unlawfully go on the premises of the University of Georgia, University Housing Village Building ‘S’ … for the purpose of becoming a peeping tom.”

(Reminder: Every episode is now in the Unwoke All-Access section of our podcast page. I’ll still be doing teaser blurb posts in Columns as reminders that new episodes are up.)

We’re not big fans of the Never Trump crowd here at “Unwoke.”

Then again, does anybody really like a bunch of diaper-filling crybabies who ruin everything?

FreedomWorks announced on Wednesday that it was closing up shop for good. The organization was a heavy-hitter during the Tea Party movement’s heyday, doing a lot of good work in training conservative political activists. I was a frequent speaker at FreedomWorks events, and helped train some of the new kids as well. The group’s annual BlogCon events were like CPAC but for just the people we wanted to hang out with (Stephen Green will back me up on this). 

I even used to do some serious writing for FreedomWorks. Stuff about policy. And stuff. 

The organization started to lose its way after 2012 and the news of its demise was unfortunate, but expected. 

The Never Trumpers had a big hand in bringing about the end. As always, they blame Trump for everything. 

Because they’re horrible people. 

That’s what we’re talking about in this episode.

Anti-Trump ‘Hush Money’ Prosecutor Was Paid by DNC for ‘Political Consulting’

Bombshell new evidence has just emerged to reveal that one of the lead prosecutors on President Donald Trump’s “hush money” case in New York was paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for “political consulting,” a financial paper trail has revealed.

Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo is working on the team for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s get-Trump case.

Concerns were already raised that Colangelo has left a top position in Democrat President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to help Bragg prosecute the “hush money” case.

Colangelo is one of the lead prosecutors on Democrat Bragg’s case, even delivering the opening statements in the unprecedented criminal trial of Trump.

Colangelo joined Bragg’s office in December 2022 after the resignations of Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne.

Pomerantz and Dunne were prosecutors who were investigating Trump.

The far-left site Jacobin is discovering the fact that Canada’s physician-assisted suicide law isn’t allowing terminally ill people to die with dignity so much as it is enabling the state to pressure tax liabilities to commit suicide to avoid being a burden on society.

The author of the piece, David Moscrop, decried “Canada boasts one of the world’s highest assisted-death rates, supposedly enabling the terminally ill to die with dignity. However, this suicide program increasingly resembles a dystopian replacement for care services, exchanging social welfare for euthanasia…

For want of a mattress, a man is dead. That’s the story, in sum, of a quadriplegic man who chose to end his life in January through medically assisted death. Normand Meunier’s story, as reported by the CBC, began with a visit to a Quebec hospital due to a respiratory virus. Meunier subsequently developed a painful bedsore after being left without access to a mattress to accommodate his needs. Thereafter, he applied to Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program.”

A West Virginia judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing several middle school girls to compete after the school district banned them from competition after refusing to play against a biological male, according to 12 WBOY, a local media outlet.

Five middle school female athletes forfeited their positions at a track meet in April after they were informed that they would have to compete against a biological male, prompting the school district to allegedly bar the girls from future competitions, according to WDTV News. The students sued and Republican Attorney General Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia filed an amicus brief in support of the students.

A Harrison County judge ordered that the school’s decision be temporarily halted while the lawsuit plays out, according to 12 WBOY.

“I want to say to these students and their parents: I have your backs,” Morrisey said in a press release. “You saw unfairness and you expressed your disappointment and sacrificed your personal performances in a sport that you love; exercised your constitutionally protected freedom of speech and expression.”

BREAKING: The WV AG issued the a statement after a judge on Thursday heard a case involving the female middle school students who protested a recent appeals court ruling against West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act.

Progressives tend to not like this little thing called “state law.” That is why we often see them admittedly oppose legislation to the point that an entire city or state has dubbed itself a “sanctuary” to defy that law. Subsequently, we now have another city declaring itself a trans sanctuary for minors, with emphasis on the part that is dedicated to children.

The Austin City Council passed a resolution that would de facto stop the enforcement of SB 14, which essentially bans gender-affirming care for minors.

According to the National Review:

Texas attorney general Ken Paxton is threatening to hold the city of Austin’s leaders accountable for openly defying the state’s law prohibiting health-care providers from performing irreversible transgender medical procedures on children.

The Austin City Council voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to pass a resolution offering protections for minors who identify as transgender and instructing police not to prioritize enforcement of SB 14, a law signed by Republican governor Greg Abbott last year banning hormonal and surgical interventions meant to facilitate a minor’s gender transition.

“If the City of Austin refuses to follow the law and protect children, my office will consider every possible response to ensure compliance,” Paxton, a Republican, said upon the resolution’s passage. “Texas municipalities do not have the authority to pick and choose which state laws they will or will not abide by. The people of Texas have spoken, and Austin City Council must listen.”

The massive failures of Bidenomics is pushing more banks to the verge of insolvency, a report finds.

Inflation, sky-high interest rates, and crashing economic growth is sending many smaller banks past the breaking point.

Worries of a possible new wave of bank failures comes on the heels of bank regulators seizing Republic First Bancorp to set up its sale to Fulton Bank.

Per Just the News::

The bank reportedly had a total of $6 billion in total assets and $4 billion in total deposits, according to Yahoo Finance. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp estimated the cost of the failure to its fund would be about $667 million.

Republic Bank has 32 branches in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York that are reopening as branches of Fulton Bank by this Monday.

Just the News added, “According to recent reports, hundreds of banks face the potential of failing just like Republic First Bancorp.”

Consulting firm Klaros Group analyzed roughly 4,000 U.S. banks and found that the banks face a threat of losses due to “secular changes in social patterns accelerated by the COVID pandemic (such as work-from-home, which has materially impacted demand for office space) and to the impacts of higher interest rates and related inflation.”

In a recent segment on Tuesday’s WarRoom with Steve Bannon, the spotlight fell on the growing demand among supporters of President Donald J. Trump for the removal of Republican Speaker Mike Johnson. The consensus among three distinct voices—Dr. Monica Crowley, Mike Lindell, and Jim Rickards—was resounding: Johnson must go, one way or another, to make room for the advancement of Trump’s agenda.

At the center of this fervor is US Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has emerged as a vocal advocate for what she perceives as a betrayal of Republican values by Speaker Johnson. Greene’s insistence on forcing a House vote on a motion to vacate has put her at odds with some in her party, who view her demands as too extreme. However, for Crowley, Lindell, and Rickards, Greene doesn’t represent a lone voice but a voice of courage in Washington, championing a cause they believe is essential for the future of the GOP and the American people.

Dr. Monica Crowley, a seasoned political commentator and former Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Trump administration, brings her expertise to the table. With a background in both government and media, Crowley’s support for Greene’s stance underscores the depth of concern among Trump loyalists regarding Johnson’s leadership.

Now that the election is only months away the election interference is REALLY beginning as Google has suddenly banned a Trump campaign ad without bothering to explain why.

This is exactly the sort of shadowbanning act that Google and the other far, far left, Big Tech bros have done to every other conservative — including me — by trying to silence conservatives.

As we get closer to the election, we are already seeing these anti-American, democracy-hating leftists working to destroy a national presidential candidate of a major party.

Google claims that Trump’s ad is a “policy violation.”

Google has reportedly taken down this very effective Trump ad for an unspecified “policy violation.” What policy could this possibly violate @Google?? https://t.co/NTrVwSytxT pic.twitter.com/XZ64tADPgM
