A knife-wielding Sikh named Vickrum Digwa fatally stabbed 18-year-old Englishman Henry Nowak in Portswood, England, on Dec. 3, 2025. Adding insult to injury, police officers from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary treated Nowak as a racist and a criminal in his final moments — handcuffing him as he lay bleeding and brushing off his repeated complaints about having been stabbed and being unable to breathe.

The British public was confronted with some of the horrific details of the murder after Digwa’s murder trial last month and after bodycam footage evidencing Nowak’s mistreatment by police was released earlier this month. They erupted in protest, demanding the resignations and/or prosecution of the police involved and for the justice system to rectify its anti-white protocols.

‘I’m pushing on a f**king stab wound.’

The scandal not only prompted condemnations from British lawmakers but a response by Vice President JD Vance, who stated that “the proper response — the only response — is righteous anger.”

Additional police bodycam footage from the night of Nowak’s death and a full transcript of the encounter released by the Crown Prosecution Service and published by the BBC this week shed more light on the insidious nature of the Sikh’s lies and police officers’ mistreatment of the white victim.

The footage shows Digwa setting the scene after police arrived with a torrent of lies, stating:

He pushed my turban off my head. … So I’m a Sikh, obviously, and he started grabbing on my hair, started dragging me around, and obviously from there, then obviously an altercation’s happened. My brother’s then seen it, stopped it, and that’s when [Nowak] then started stumbling around, started climbing around all these sort of bits and bobs and stuff like that.

Digwa falsely claims further in the footage that Nowak was “obviously drunk”; that Nowak had “just started escalating the situation” and called him a “Paki”; and that the blood on Nowak “must have been [from] when we punched him.”

After Digwa said that he had been “racially attacked,” an officer says, “I know, I know, OK, I know,” adding, “But we don’t know what’s gone on, mate.”

Never once does Digwa mention that he used his eight-inch Sikh blade to stab Nowak five times, including in the chest, face, and twice in the back of the legs.

The footage also shows police arrest Digwa on suspicion of attempted murder — but treating him differently than they treated Nowak. Whereas police handcuffed the dying teen, the police never bothered binding the murderer’s hands.

Mark Nowak, the victim’s father, said earlier this month that unlike his son, the Sikh murderer was curiously “afforded decency. He was believed. He was not handcuffed when arrested. He was not handcuffed when transported to the police station. As far as we understand, he was never handcuffed at all.”

Police confirmed to the BBC that Digwa was “never handcuffed” during his four days in custody prior to being formally charged for murder.

“The contrast is unbearable,” added Mark Nowak.

The BBC highlighted that the officer who spoke politely to Digwa and refrained from handcuffing him is the same individual later heard in bodycam footage saying, “Don’t think you have, mate,” after Nowak says that he has been stabbed.

According to the BBC’s review of the full transcript, it took police officers eight minutes to discover and locate the fatal stab wound in Nowak’s chest after they arrived on the scene.

Nowak told police he could not breathe nine times and said four times he had been stabbed, but the officers initially brushed off those complaints and began taking them seriously only after Nowak became unresponsive, at which point one officer states in the transcript, “I’m not sure he’s breathing.”

After uncuffing the unconscious victim whom they had arrested, police started chest compressions.

Around the five minute and 24 second mark, a female officer asks for a flashlight so she can properly inspect Nowak for a stab wound. Two minutes later, she finally gets around to cutting Nowak’s clothing and states, “Yeah, he’s got a stab … there’s a mark there.”

One officer states, “That makes it worse. He’s got a stab. … I’m pushing on a f**king stab wound.”

The female officer replies, “That’s OK. It’s fine. …. It’s not coming out. It’s fine. Keep going. Keep going. It’s not bleeding out.”

The officers continued chest compressions until a paramedic arrived on the scene, where Nowak was pronounced dead at 12:37 a.m. on Dec. 4.

The officers’ handling of the case is presently under investigation by a watchdog outfit, the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe said earlier this month, “Young, white British men are bleeding to death in the street as a direct result of our racist establishment. I will never forget, and I will never forgive.”

A former middle school teacher in New Jersey — who was already accused of sexually assaulting a student — has been hit with new concerning charges, according to authorities.

Blaze News previously reported that 36-year-old Ashley A. Fisler, who formerly went by her maiden name of Ashley Sulla, was arrested in March.

‘I take the blame for all of this.’

Fisler was charged on March 26 with six counts of first-degree sexual assault of a minor, one count of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, and one count of second-degree official misconduct, according to the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.

The prosecutor’s office stated that Fisler faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in state prison for each of the first-degree charges and 10 years for each of the second-degree charges if convicted.

However, Fisler was indicted on a slew of child sex charges this week.

The Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement released Wednesday that the Gloucester County Grand Jury indicted Fisler on 12 counts, including sexual assault of a minor, manufacturing child sexual abuse material, and pattern of official misconduct.

Citing court documents, the prosecutor’s office said the alleged victim — who is now an adult — informed authorities in January that he had an “unlawful sexual relationship” with Fisler when he was a minor and while she was his teacher at Orchard Valley Middle School.

The alleged victim told investigators he engaged in “multiple sexual encounters occurring in 2021 in Fisler’s vehicle and in her classroom.”

The prosecutor’s office noted that investigators discovered text messages between Fisler and the alleged victim that confirmed the “unlawful sexual nature of their relationship.”

According to WPVI-TV, prosecutors said investigators recovered “approximately 7,500 pages of text messages” between Fisler and the alleged victim.

NJ.com reported in April that Gloucester County Assistant Prosecutor Kylie Finley stated, “These text messages show not only the level of the grooming and manipulation by this defendant, but they also corroborate, multiple times over, the sexual relationship disclosed by this victim, including the specific sexual acts that the victim disclosed to police during his interview.”

In the text messages, Fisler offered to buy a sex toy for the teen and told him to send photos of his genitals to her, the prosecutor claimed.

The assistant prosecutor said, “In December of 2023, the victim confides in the defendant that he’s struggling in school because he’s getting erections more frequently in school. And the defendant’s response was, quote: ‘Oh my God, that’s fantastic.'”

“On January 20th of 2025, the victim told the defendant, quote, ‘I’ve had to try really hard to rebuild the things you broke inside of me. You destroyed things inside of me. You stripped me of my innocence,'” the assistant prosecutor stated.

The assistant prosecutor added, “The defendant admits that she hurt him countless times and says, quote, ‘I take the blame for all of this.'”

The assistant prosecutor continued, “She even admits that she put him in positions that she shouldn’t have and says, ‘I feel like I forced you to grow up abnormally quick.'”

The prosecution said Fisler sent text messages between May 2023 and January 2026 to the alleged victim, reminiscing about sexually assaulting the teen.

Fisler, of Washington Township, continued to contact the alleged victim through January 2026, when he tried to break off communication, officials said.

Defense attorney Rocco Cipparone argued there was a lack of evidence to support the damning accusations and that the “selective, salacious” text messages were “taken out of context.”

Cipparone also claimed that all the text messages prosecutors cited were sent years after the alleged crimes and that there was no evidence from the years the alleged sexual assaults took place.

“What I did not hear the prosecution say is that there are any contemporaneous texts, images, evidence back in 2021 that reveal this alleged conduct,” Cipparone stated.

The assistant prosecutor explained that technical limitations prevented officials from recovering messages during the years when the alleged sexual assaults occurred.

Fisler previously told police that she left her teaching job in 2023 because she “blurred the lines with another student,” according to the assistant prosecutor.

Cipparone contended that his client had done nothing wrong: “Ms. Fisler told the police that the reason she left was because a female student had a hickey on her neck. She asked Ms. Fisler to buy her cover-up makeup so that she wouldn’t get in trouble from her parents.”

Cipparone suggested the alleged victim may have a financial motive for his allegations, noting that he consulted an attorney before contacting police.

Fisler is no longer employed by the Washington Township school district or any other district, prosecutors said.

Eric M. Hibbs, superintendent of Washington Township Public Schools, released the following statement to Patch shortly after Fisler’s arrest:

The district is aware of the charges announced by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office regarding a former middle school teacher. We take matters involving the safety and well-being of our students extremely seriously. The individual referenced is no longer employed by the district and separated from employment in April 2023. We are fully cooperating with law enforcement and will continue to do so. Because this is an active criminal matter, we are unable to comment further at this time.

Fisler was denied bail and is being held in Salem County Jail pending trial, according to jail records.

“Supergirl” star Milly Alcock saved her best woke lines for right before the movie’s release.

Just days ahead of the official drop, Alcock told reporters in London and New York City about how much of an independent woman the Supergirl character is as well as how the film relates to gay pride.

‘What makes this film so beautiful is that it’s not centered around a man.’

Kara chameleon

Although it should be obvious that Superman’s cousin doesn’t really need any help, the Australian actress fell into the age-old trap of spouting progressive dogma on the red carpet at the film’s premier, telling journalists about how the girl from Krypton is actually a strong woman.

In London, Alcock was approached by an Associated Press reporter who bizarrely brought up comments he had seen online about “Kara’s queerness”; Supergirl’s name is Kara Zor-El.

“Was that something that you explored when you were preparing for the role?” the male reporter asked.

Alcock laughed hysterically.

“It wasn’t,” the 26-year-old began, saying she would try to answer “in honor of Pride Month.”

She then praised the film for not having a romantic focus, void of any relationship with a male co-star, while saying her character is probably bisexual.

“I don’t know. I think that what makes this film so beautiful is that it’s not centered around a man, it’s not centered around love at all. … She’d probably go both ways.”

Modern Milly

In New York City, a reporter from Variety again asked the star about how “LGBT” people have related to the character, framing Alcock’s answer as embracing “queer readings” of the film.

“I’ve just had a few people ask me about her because it’s Pride Month and all that, and I think that she’s a really great representation of what a modern woman can be,” she replied.

Alcock then again put focus on how she adores the film for not featuring any romance, before stating that homosexuals can relate to the character’s resiliency.

“She can be strong, she can be tough, she can be messy. And I love how this film doesn’t center around any sort of love … or romance or anything like that at all. She has such resilience — and I think that that community is a community that is so, so resilient. … I’m really honored that they can connect with her.”

Christian Kryptonite

In the lead-up to the film’s release, Alcock has taken issue with male superhero fans multiple times — a near guarantee for a mainstream actress in such a role — telling “Vanity Fair” in March that when she was on “Game of Thrones,” she realized “simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on,” before adding, “We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies. I can’t really stop them. I can only be myself.”

She also took aim at Christian dads in late May, describing “people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts. Or someone’s name and then ‘Dad of four, Christian'” as those who harass her the most.

She concluded, “Which is hilarious to me. But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? If you’re pissing the right kind of people off, you’re doing OK.”

Since her debut in the WNBA in 2024 with the Indiana Fever, women’s basketball superstar Caitlin Clark has been the victim of an unprecedented number of flagrant fouls. In her rookie season alone, she accounted for roughly 17% of all flagrant fouls drawn league-wide that year.

These attacks unfortunately followed her into her second and now third professional season. On Wednesday, June 24, Clark drew one of her most violent fouls to date. In the Fever’s matchup against the Phoenix Mercury, Clark slipped while driving to the basket, leading to a scramble for the loose ball.

Phoenix power forward Alyssa Thomas made contact with a closed fist to Clark’s throat and neck area while Clark was on the floor (also appearing to knee her thigh/groin area), then stepped over her. No foul was called in real time, drawing strong criticism from Fever coach Stephanie White. The WNBA later reviewed it and upgraded it to a flagrant foul 2 for “reckless” contact and suspended Thomas for one game.

On a recent episode of “Pat Gray Unleashed,” Pat and co-hosts Keith Malinak and Jeffy discussed how this latest attack on Clark exposes a dark truth about the WNBA.

“The violence against Caitlin is not going to stop unless she dies on the court,” says Keith, emphasizing the need for Clark to seek another league to play in.

Pat is outraged by the violence consistently waged against Clark as well.

“She’s brought so many eyes to that league, and nobody cared about that league before — nobody!” he emphasizes.

“How are people not being fined, booted out of the league? Suspended, at least? Something,” he asks.

Producer Kris Kruz believes he has the answer — and it reveals the WNBA’s real problem.

Clark, who is widely considered the GOAT of women’s basketball despite being early in her professional career, is “white” and “straight” — a stark contrast to the WNBA’s predominantly black and/or lesbian player base.

To hear more, watch the episode above.

An illegal alien truck driver who is facing homicide charges may be deported before his trial for allegedly causing a crash that killed an American newlywed couple.

On Nov. 24, 2025, Rajinder Kumar, an illegal immigrant from India, allegedly jackknifed his semi-truck and trailer while driving along U.S. Highway 20 in Bend, Oregon, causing his vehicle to collide with a Subaru Outback.

‘If state and local authorities won’t commit to not releasing him, we will remove him from the country.’

The driver and the passenger of the Subaru, William Micah Carter and Jennifer Lynn Lower, who were married only 16 days at the time, died as a result of the collision.

Kumar was arrested and detained at the Deschutes County Jail, facing two counts of manslaughter in the first degree and three counts of recklessly endangering another person.

He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Kumar’s bail was originally set at $500,000 following his arrest, but was later reduced to $250,000, KTVZ reported. Oregon’s security release system typically requires individuals looking to be released to post only 10% of the bail amount.

Despite felony charges, Kumar made bail and was released from local custody on Apr. 2. The Department of Homeland Security claimed: “Oregon sanctuary politicians refused to cooperate with ICE and RELEASED Kumar back onto the streets of Oregon.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed Kumar in federal custody on Apr. 22. He is currently being held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma, Washington, and is awaiting removal proceedings.

Kumar illegally entered the U.S. on Nov. 28, 2022, and was released into the country by the Biden administration, the DHS reported. He reportedly obtained his commercial driver’s license in California after the Biden administration provided him with work authorization.

Carter’s mother, Elizabeth, expressed deep concerns that Kumar would never face justice for allegedly causing the wreck that killed her son and his wife, explaining that he may be deported before his scheduled day in court.

“By deporting him without going through the homicide trial, he is getting a free pass back to his country, his family, and freedom of life. I believe state and federal law should prohibit anyone from being deported before they face serious criminal charges and, if convicted, serve their time and pay the debt they owe to our society on U.S. soil, before they are deported. Especially when that debt is because an American citizen lost their life on American soil,” Elizabeth Carter told Blaze News.

When asked to confirm whether Kumar would be deported before heading to trial for the manslaughter charges, a DHS spokesperson stated, “ICE will work with state and local authorities if they are compliant.”

“We will not turn illegal aliens over to sanctuary politicians who will release these criminals back onto America[’s] streets. If state and local authorities won’t commit to not releasing him, we will remove him from the country,” the spokesperson added.

In response to the DHS statement, Elizabeth Carter said, “What I read in that statement is … if sanctuary politicians are willing to violate the law, then, and only then, is ICE willing to work with them.”

“I’m confused by that,” she continued. “I thought our Constitution protects everybody. And I’m surprised that it’s up for negotiation whether or not the United States gets to try the death of two American citizens on U.S. soil.”

“I think it’s important that Mr. Kumar be given a chance to defend himself. He’s been publicly called a murderer. A trial is the opportunity for him to present a defense,” Elizabeth Carter stated. “I think Billy and Jenny deserve justice, but so does Mr. Kumar. He deserves the opportunity to present a defense, not just be summarily removed from the country and his reputation trashed.”

The Carter family hopes to find a lawmaker who will sponsor a bill that requires individuals facing deportation and serious criminal charges to stand trial before being removed from the U.S.

Democratic socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is quickly emerging as a major force in New York politics after going three-for-three in recent primary races with those three candidates taking out Democrat-establishment incumbents.

“We had a clean sweep for Mamdani, three candidates he endorsed in New York in the primaries,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere explains on “Stu and Dave Do America.”

“These are taking out incumbents in big races, and Zohran Mamdani takes three crazy socialists and goes three for three,” he adds.

Those three candidates are Darializa Avila Chevalier, Claire Valdez, and Brad Lander.

However, these wins don’t come without risk — especially considering one of them seems to be “legitimately nuts.”

“This is a risk for Mamdani in that, like, when you’re coming up, you’re rising in Democratic politics, you can either be the one who plays the game and goes along with everybody who’s got the job already and played this long game, or you can do what Mamdani did here,” Stu says, pointing out that politicians like AOC have tried this in the past.

“You go as far as you can and hope it works out. And so far for Mamdani, I don’t know if this is part of a Knicks hangover or what, but they love this guy,” he continues.

One of the Mamdani-endorsed winning candidates is Avila Chevalier, who is, like Mamdani, a democratic socialist.

“She’s legitimately nuts. She stormed out of a live interview when she was confronted with her old social media posts, which is I guess not a huge surprise considering what her old social media posts were,” Stu explains.

“I forgot to get napkins, so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me,” Avila Chevalier wrote in a now-deleted post on X in 2019.

“These are the people that they’re handpicking for these Democratic jobs,” Stu comments.

In another now-deleted post, she wrote that “black men” and “Arab men” both fetishize “ugly colonizer women.”

“Apparently, white women are all ugly,” Stu says.

“That reads a little jealous,” Dave adds.

While some Democrats have decried a recent Supreme Court ruling that sided with the Trump administration on immigration, socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is going further.

Mamdani responded by suggesting he would defy the order of the highest court of the land and use his mayoral powers to protect migrants who lose protections against deportation.

‘A Supreme Court ruling … just opened the door to fear, instability, and the threat of deportation.’

The ruling said that President Donald Trump could lawfully end the Temporary Protected Status designation for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants. The ruling will likely apply to others protected by TPS, which could be more than a million migrants.

Mamdani directly addressed the migrants in a speech Thursday while he was surrounded by union members and officials.

“I am so proud that each of you has chosen to make your home in New York City,” said the mayor.

“I want to be clear, you are a New Yorker today, tomorrow, and every day, you are a New Yorker. As health care workers, as teachers, as organizers, you have not just made your home in New York City, you have dedicated your lives to New York City,” he added.

He went on to call the ruling “unconscionable” and “unacceptable” and directed immigrants to seek legal help from the city’s resources.

“So hear me when I say this: The people of New York City are going to show up for you as we face down a Supreme Court ruling that just opened the door to fear, instability, and the threat of deportation for so many.”

Opponents of the ruling had argued in court that the president was motivated by racist attitudes against the migrants, but a plurality of justices rejected that argument. Trump and his supporters have accused the Obama and Biden administrations of abusing the TPS program in order to surreptitiously bypass Congress for backdoor amnesty.

RELATED: Supreme Court hands Trump a MAJOR victory on deportation of Haitian and Syrian migrants

Others have argued that the constitutional remedy for those opposed to the president’s policies was to pass a law strengthening the TPS program.

“New York City will do everything in our power to fight back,” Mamdani continued. “This is a city where we look out for our neighbors, where we don’t let those who are afraid of what makes this city great try to divide us.”

The case against Jonathan Rinderknecht, the man accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire in 2025 that resulted in 12 deaths and over 6,800 structures being destroyed, came to a frustrating close on Friday.

Rinderknecht, a 30-year-old former Uber driver, faced three federal charges of destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce, and timber set afire. He was accused of “maliciously” damaging and destroying buildings and property, but a mistrial was ultimately declared in his case.

‘We fully intend to retry this case before a new jury and obtain guilty verdicts on all charged counts.’

Rinderknecht faced up to 45 years in prison. He pleaded not guilty in October.

Prosecutors claimed that several of Rinderknecht’s Uber passengers described him as “angry, intense, driving erratically, and ranting about being ‘pissed off at the world.’” He also allegedly talked about Luigi Mangione, capitalism, and vigilantism.

When asked about why someone might have started the fire, Rinderknecht allegedly responded that it could be “out of resentment of the rich,” according to prosecutors.

After 13 hours of deliberations, the jury was deadlocked, with jurors on both sides “unwilling to change their opinion,” according to a note sent to U.S. District Judge Anne Hwang. The jurors informed Hwang that they were “at a standstill” and unsure of how to proceed after a final vote of 10-2 for acquittal.

Federal prosecutors agreed to a mistrial after the jurors confirmed they could not reach a unanimous decision on any of the three counts in the case.

“The court finds there’s a manifest necessity to declare a mistrial in this case due to a jury deadlock,” Hwang said.

Defense attorney Steve Haney stated, “Ten to two is a pretty resounding indication of what the jury felt about this case, and we felt that way from the very beginning.”

Shortly after the mistrial was announced, first assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli stated that he intends to retry the case.

“The evidence is strong that Jonathan Rinderknecht is responsible for igniting the fire on January 1, 2025, which eventually became the Palisades fire. We fully intend to retry this case before a new jury and obtain guilty verdicts on all charged counts,” Essayli wrote.

Precious Bland of Miami drowned her 15-month-old daughter Emii in a bathtub on Aug. 23, 2021, then proceeded to stab her husband — who attempted to save the infant — in the head and neck. When her stepdaughter tried to grab the drowned toddler, Bland slashed her, then proceeded to cut her own wrists.

According to a police report reviewed by CourtTV, Bland’s husband told police that the killer had been ranting about how “COVID is going to kill us all,” how Christ’s return was imminent, and how she wanted to baptize her family in the bathtub.

‘I’m sure that my family is very vigilant now.’

Bland, who subsequently spent four years in jail and additional time on house arrest while awaiting trial, was initially charged with murder, two counts of attempted second-degree murder, and two counts of aggravated child abuse.

On Tuesday, Miami-Dade Judge Miguel Manuel de la O of the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida found the 43-year-old mother — who admitted to killing her child — not guilty of aggravated manslaughter and first-degree attempted murder by reason of insanity.

This ruling prompted swift backlash from Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (R), who said that de la O’s impeachment is in order.

“This was a bench trial. It’s time to impeach this judge,” Uthmeier stated on Thursday. “My office will be drafting articles of impeachment, and we look forward to working with all legislators who will support.”

RELATED: Florida man allegedly bragged about sexually abusing foster child — cops say he and his husband fostered 23 young boys

Uthmeier added on X, “It’s time to start impeaching judges in this country.”

In response to Uthmeier’s call to action, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis tweeted, “Time for the Florida House to do its duty.”

The Florida House can impeach a circuit court judge for a “misdemeanor in office” by a two-thirds vote. The Florida Constitution states that an impeached judge “shall be disqualified from performing any official duties until acquitted by the Senate, and, unless impeached, the governor may by appointment fill the office until completion of the trial.”

A spokeswoman for the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida told Blaze News that “judicial ethics canons do not permit comment on pending cases.”

During the murder trial, state prosecutors suggested on the basis of remarks Bland allegedly made to investigators that the mother of six killed her baby partly because she believed her husband, Evan Bland, was cheating on her.

Prosecutor Elizabeth Utset further argued that the killer’s insanity claim was bogus — Bland had, after all, allegedly told investigators that she had never heard voices prior to the day of the killing — and that even if genuinely mentally troubled, Bland knew full well what she was doing when she drowned her baby, reported WFOR-TV.

“It’s odd behavior, Judge, it is, but it’s not legal insanity,” said Utset. “The voices and the COVID psychosis are a fabrication and an embellished story.”

Judge de la O evidently couldn’t bring himself to believe that the defendant used insanity as a cover for a horrible and intentional crime, stating, “That theory doesn’t make sense to me that she decided to do all of the things that she did: going to all the neighbors, calling her family members, putting the kids in the water, all of it because she was angry due to some perceived infidelity.”

The defense argued that Bland killed her baby due to a psychotic episode induced by a COVID infection. Utset claimed, however, that there was “no clear and convincing evidence that COVID made this defendant drown her 1-year-old daughter.”

De la O bought the COVID defense, however, stating, “There is zero credible explanation other than her psychotic state.”

“There’s so much we don’t know about COVID,” said Bland’s attorney, Larry Handfield. “And this was the first case in the country to go to trial on COVID being the defense to murder.”

While his client was apparently crazy enough to drown her baby and stab her family members, Handfield doesn’t think her crazy enough to warrant institutionalization.

Handfield said on Monday that he is not looking to put Bland in a mental health facility, citing determinations from a pair of psychological evaluators that such treatment would be unnecessary, reported WFOR. Judge de la O similarly suggested that he didn’t see any need to institutionalize the killer.

After her acquittal, the baby-killer stated, “God is good. This doesn’t bring back my daughter.”

“I’m thankful,” continued Bland. “I love my children.”

When asked about whether she trusts herself around her remaining children, Bland told WPLG-TV, “Absolutely, without a doubt, and I’m sure that my family is very vigilant now as well.”

A group of Democrats identifying as moderate say they are organizing to oppose the extremist policies of the far right as well as those of the socialists on the far left.

The moderate-identifying Democrats are unhappy about the recent victories of far-left extremists in places like New York City, where Democratic incumbents lost in primaries this week. About a dozen moderate-identifying Democrats signed on the pledge at the “Promise to America” website.

‘Americans want safe communities and institutions that solve problems. We believe in building more to lower costs and expand opportunity.’

Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York appeared on Fox News to publicize the effort.

“You know there are certain things that I believe in that are not being reflected in the current environment, especially with some of these races on Tuesday,” said Suozzi.

“As we said in our pledge, we’re for capitalism, not socialism. We’re for safety, not lawlessness. We’re proud of America, not ashamed of America — and we need to be promoting those things,” he added. “The far left and the far right, you know, they’re all very well organized. But those of us that don’t support those far-left or far-right principles need to do a better job organizing and getting our message out.”

“America is stronger than our politics. Politics forces false choices between extremes on right and left. We reject them,” the group said in the pledge.

“Too many Americans have not benefited from the last half-century of economic growth,” they added. “Americans want an economy that lowers costs, expands opportunity, and rewards the people who work hard every day. Americans want safe communities and institutions that solve problems. We believe in building more to lower costs and expand opportunity. We believe Democrats succeed when we speak to the whole country and value persuasion over purity.”

The website asks supporters of the cause to sign the pledge as well.
