Transgender Woman Who Demanded Access To Girl’s Bathrooms Charged With Molesting Girls and Producing Child Pornography

A transgender woman who campaigned for access to girl’s locker rooms and bathrooms has been arrested for sexually abusing two girls under the age of four and distributing child pornography.

Just seven months ago, Jakob Nieves, who also goes by the name Dakota, urged locals to vote “yes” on a veto referendum enabling transgender women to access girls bathrooms, locker rooms and similar facilities.

19-year-old Nieves, from Lawrence, Massachusetts, “did knowingly employ, use, persuade, induce, entice and coerce” a four-year-old girl “to engage in any sexually explicit conduct” with him “for the purpose of producing any visual depiction of such conduct,” according to court records.

Nieves began exchanging messages with another person in a Kik group created for those interested in trading child pornography. Kik is a mobile messaging app.

As the chat progressed, Nieves allegedly shared images of a small child performing indecent sex acts on his male genitalia.

Unknown to Nieves, the person with whom he was sharing the images was an undercover federal agent.

Social media posts by Dakota Nieves urging locals to vote “yes” in a veto referendum enabling transgender women to access girls bathrooms, locker rooms and similar facilitiesNieve’s transfer of photos showing him engaged in illegal sex acts with a minor sparked a federal investigation, according to the criminal complaint.On August 14, federal agents obtained a warrant to search the home of Mr Nieves, which is located on the 200 block of Lawrence Street.

The search produced a phone, which agents say contains photos and videos of Nieves sexually violating a minor girl in the...

‘I’d refer Biden to his own words’: Kayleigh McEnany makes quick work of Gayle King’s gotcha question

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is good at her job, so much so that sometimes the media seems to be at a disadvantage going up against her.

A graduate of Georgetown University and Harvard University, McEnany is rarely, if ever caught unprepared — McEnany’s briefing binder caught the attention of some in the media, who made a big fuss over it — and that was clear in a Monday appearance on “CBS This Morning.”

CBS anchor Gayle King opened the interview by pointing to polling that showed 52% of Americans say the Supreme Court opening brought about by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg should be filled by whoever wins the election, asking whether President Trump would go along with polling.

“The president is clear in saying that he’ll be nominating someone to the Supreme Court,” McEnany replied. “In fact, 29 times in history a president in their last year of their term has, in fact, nominated someone and been considered by the Senate. The president will be following that precedent, and we believe voters will be supportive of this move as we move forward and they see the quality of our nominee.”

King cited Joe Biden saying the effort to fill the vacancy is “an exercise in raw power,” and Trump’s spokesperson shut that down in a hurry.

“I would refer former Vice President Joe Biden to his own words, when he said, in fact, that he would appoint a Supreme Court nominee if there were even just a few months before an election,” McEnany said. “He said that. So too did President Barack Obama and Sen. Kamala Harris, among other Democrats. I would point them to their own words just a few short years ago.

After a brief discussion on how circumstances are different today than they were in 2016, when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell waited until after the election to...

WATCH: Joe Biden Struggles to Read Scripted Answers off a Teleprompter During An INTERVIEW

The ultimate scripted candidate.

Joe Biden appeared to use a teleprompter during an interview last week. Not a campaign speech- but an interview!

Biden had to turn to a campaign handler who was directing him off screen, saying that he “lost that line.” Is he a candidate running for President of the United States, or an actor repeating his predetermined lines?

In the interview, Biden told Telemundo’s Jose Diaz-Balart that he wouldn’t deport anyone but convicted felons during his presidency, setting up a de facto open borders system within the United States in which the vast majority of illegal aliens would face no legal consequences for violating immigration laws.

The left-wing open borders pledge on the part of Biden may have been a mistake, with the Democratic nominee incorrectly reading something off of his teleprompter.

It’s seemingly unprecedented for a presidential candidate to use a teleprompter during an interview, in which candidates are supposed to be answering questions from media using their own intuition. Biden has proven to be highly dependent on the use of the speech devices, with images from a teleprompter reflecting onto glass screens that he has held in digital campaign appearances.

Almost all of his campaign appearances that don’t seem highly scripted don’t last very long, with Biden often ending speeches after fifteen or twenty minutes. President Trump gives largely off-the-cuff campaign speeches that last over an hour all the time.

Additional photography of the interview all but reveals that Biden was utilizing a teleprompter during it:

How Fast Can Senate Move? 1 Supreme Court Justice Confirmed Same Day Nominated

The Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg focuses attention on an obscure—but very important—process within our system of government; namely, how does such a job opening get filled?

First, there’s no manual, rulebook, or set of instructions. The Constitution, in fact, has very little to say about it.

It gives the power to make nominations to the president and the power of “advice and consent” to the Senate. And the Constitution allows the Senate to determine its own rules for doing business.

That’s the extent of it. The Constitution doesn’t tell either the president or the Senate how to fulfill their responsibilities when it comes to appointing judges.

Second, every vacancy and every nomination is unique. Justices sometimes announce months in advance that they will step aside on a specific date. Others say they won’t leave until their successor is finally confirmed.

Vacancies can occur suddenly, as with the unexpected death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016, or after a long decline in a justice’s health.

Similarly, presidents can make a nomination quickly or take a long while to think about it. President George H.W. Bush announced his nomination of Clarence Thomas in 1991 only a few days after Justice Thurgood Marshall announced his retirement. By contrast, President Bill Clinton took more than three months to nominate Ginsburg to replace Justice Byron White in 1993.

Third, the length and complexity of the Senate’s confirmation process also vary considerably. The Judiciary Committee, for example, held its first hearing on a Supreme Court nomination in 1916, but confirmed at least a dozen nominees after that without a hearing at all.

The committee held a hearing on eight Supreme Court nominees who did not attend, including Earl Warren in 1953. Justices Stanley Reed (1938) and William O. Douglas (1939) attended their hearings, but said nothing and were asked no questions. While Reed’s hearing lasted almost an hour, Douglas’ was over in just five minutes.

The entire confirmation process is sometimes over before virtually anyone knows it has begun. The Senate confirmed James Byrnes in 1941 on the same day that President Franklin Roosevelt nominated him. Four years later, Roosevelt’s nomination of Harold Burton languished longer (for a single day).

In 1962, the Senate confirmed White without even a...

When the former FBI director James Comey closed the Hillary Clinton probe a second time, he certified all of the Anthony Weiner emails on Huma Abedin’s laptop were reviewed. Abedin was and is Hillary Clinton’s top aide. Hundreds of thousands of her emails were discovered on her husband’s laptop with his perverted emails. He’s a convicted pedophile.

THE BIG LIE

James Comey told Congress at that time that “thanks to the wizardry of our technology,” the FBI was able to eliminate the vast majority of messages on the Weiner laptop as “duplicates” of emails they’d previously seen. Tireless agents, he claimed, then worked “night after night after night” to scrutinize the remaining material.

There were hundreds of thousands of emails and no one found his comments believable. As it happens, it was a lie.

“Most of the emails were never examined, even though they made up potentially 10 times the evidence” of what was reviewed in the original year-long case that Comey closed in July 2016, said a law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation, according to Paul Sperry at RealClearInvestigations.

At the time, John Robertson was an FBI special agent assigned to the C-20 squad investigating “crimes against children” at the bureau’s New York field office at 26 Federal Plaza.

Robertson unearthed tens of thousands of Clinton emails in late September 2016 on the laptop belonging to Weiner, the husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, in a sex crimes case involving underage girls, but for weeks after being alerted, top FBI leaders (including fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, fired FBI agent Peter Strzok, and former FBI counterintelligence chief Bill Priestap) took little to no action to investigate.

Robertson wrote a “Letter to Self” in late October after an Oct. 19, 2016, meeting, during which he implored Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Kramer of the Southern District of New York to push FBI leadership to look at the thousands of emails he had unearthed.

They didn’t look at all the emails as they claimed. Now The Washington Post is trying to take credit for the discovery Paul Sperry made in 2016, after ignoring it for...
