I Fought A War Against Radical Islamists Like The One New York Is About To Elect
Radical Islam has made its way into America. It is already here, and it is spreading. America cannot be consumed by it."The members of the Casey family have from the beginning intended that the principal purpose of the Annie E. Casey Foundation would be to support needy children in foster homes," Jim Casey wrote around 1947. Casey, who founded UPS, was worried about impoverished children, particularly orphans. He set up his foundation in 1948, and as of 2023, the endowment was valued at $3.4 billion.

A Texas mother was arrested for allegedly abusing her 11-year-old autistic son by locking him up in horrific conditions at her mobile home on Homan Street in Baytown.
The Baytown Police Department said a police officer was called to the home of 41-year-old Rachel Nicole Blaylock in May and reported the strong smell of fecal matter and the presence of numerous flies.
The son reportedly had dried fecal matter under his nails and on his face, arms, and hands.
She said the smell was "bad enough she nearly threw up."
Blaylock reportedly told the officer that her son had trouble going to the bathroom and would often toss his "poop" in his room and into the hallway.
The officer said she saw dried fecal matter on the floor of the home.
Blaylock began locking her son in his room after he ran out of the home naked several times. She took the door off his room and replaced it with a screen door so she could keep an eye on him but have him locked away.
The officer reported seeing a mattress described as "filthy" and said there was fecal matter on the screen door and in the room.
The son reportedly had dried fecal matter under his nails and on his face, arms, and hands. He also suffered from rotting teeth and had dried urine on his legs.
The officer recorded Blaylock's response when she told her that her son needed to go to a hospital.
"I just can't drop everything I'm f**king doing and take him to the hospital so a quack-ass doctor can say, 'Oh, I don't know what's wrong with him,' so we can see another one," she reportedly said.

Police also spoke to the boy's grandmother, who said Blaylock was not a good mother and confirmed many of the accusations of neglect.
The boy weighed 46 pounds, according to police, who said a boy of his age should weigh about 88 pounds. Officials said he was placed in foster care.
On Oct. 7, police arrested Blaylock and found that she had a cylinder container with contents inside on her belt. She claimed that they were her "baby daddy's ashes," but police said they determined the contents were actually crystal methamphetamine.
She was charged with injury to a child as well as possession of methamphetamine. She was booked into the Harris County Jail.
Baytown is a city of over 84,000 residents on Galveston Bay about 30 miles east of downtown Houston.

A Texas elementary school teacher has been arrested and accused of grabbing two children by their throats at school, according to reports.
Gail Patterson, 61, was arrested Sept. 15 following a Benbrook Police Department investigation, according to KTVT-TV. Patterson has since been released from jail.
'This is a profound betrayal of trust.'
Patterson is charged with two counts of injury to a child.
Patterson had been a teacher at Westpark Elementary School in Benbrook.
The Fort Worth Independent School District confirmed to Blaze News that Patterson was placed on administrative leave in August and no longer employed by the district "following an incident involving a student."
The school district said it has cooperated fully with law enforcement and child protective services since August.
According to the Benbrook Police Department, the alleged incident against two fourth-grade students occurred Aug. 20 during the school day.
WFAA-TV reported that a mother identified only as Catie said her 9-year-old daughter called her from school "crying, inconsolable, saying a teacher choked her."
According to an arrest affidavit, Patterson removed Catie’s daughter and another student from class after the two fourth-graders were caught talking.
Catie told WFAA that school officials showed her surveillance video capturing the alleged incident in a school hallway.
"Within two seconds, she grabs the first student by the neck, then grabs my daughter, holds them both against the wall for 11 seconds while she's in their face," Catie said.
Authorities have not released the surveillance video.
Catie claimed that nobody from the school contacted her regarding the alleged assault, despite her daughter telling three teachers about it.
What's more, the mother is furious over the school's response, telling WFAA that "I was disgusted. It hurt. Knowing we trusted a school after coming from homeschool. We trusted them to take care of our child, and no teacher in that school took care of my child that day."
Catie's attorney, Ty Stimpson, added, "They don't want to see Ms. Patterson teaching or having any involvement with kids anymore."
Stimpson told KTVT, "This is a profound betrayal of trust. When you send a child to school, you expect them to be nurtured and protected, not victimized by their teacher."
"While it can be a challenge to take on legal action against a school district, Fort Worth ISD has established policies that must be followed," Stimpson continued. "We are guiding these families through this process, ensuring that the students' complaints and grievances are addressed. We have requested that the teacher be terminated and permanently barred from returning to any school in the district."
Attorneys representing the alleged victims are moving forward with a formal complaint through Fort Worth ISD and are "calling for accountability to include safeguards and staff training," according to WFAA. The district has until next week to submit a formal response to the complaint, Stimpson said.
When Patterson was asked for comment, she said, "Go away," according to WFAA.
Benbrook Police did not immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment about the arrest.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that Patterson was listed on the Westpark PTA website as a special-education inclusion teacher in the school’s SPED/RISE program but that "her name has since been removed." An archived version of the website from last November shows Patterson listed as a special-education inclusion teacher in the school's SPED/RISE program.

A 65-year-old male working as a substitute classroom assistant at a Florida elementary school was arrested for child abuse last week, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.
David Jones was assigned to a special-needs classroom at Oakhurst Elementary School in Largo, deputies said.
'As a special-needs mom, I’d probably be in a lot of trouble if that was my kid.'
After lunch on Sept. 15, a 6-year-old — who has autism and is semi-verbal — was hitting and kicking as a sign of communication, deputies said.
Jones swung a lunch box containing a metal canister, striking the victim in the face and causing a welt on the victim’s forehead, deputies said.
On Sept.16, deputies said Jones admitted to the incident and stated it was a “knee-jerk” reaction when dealing with the victim, whom he knew has special needs.
Jones was charged with one count of child abuse and taken to the Pinellas County Jail, deputies said.
Jail records indicate that Jones — who stands 6'1'' and weighs 280 pounds — was booked into jail Sept. 16 and released on his own recognizance Sept. 17.
WTSP-TV said in a Sept. 16 broadcast that Pinellas County Schools fired Jones.
"Pinellas County Schools has zero tolerance for staff behavior that jeopardizes student safety or the integrity of our schools. The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority, and we are committed to ensuring that every child is treated with kindness, dignity, and respect," the district told the station in a statement.
Numerous individuals were livid over the incident. Here's a brief sampling:

The ex-girlfriend of a Delta Air Lines pilot — who was recently arrested on child sex abuse charges after touching down in California on a commercial airliner — has also been charged in the disturbing case that allegedly involves her young daughter, according to officials.
As Blaze News reported on Tuesday, federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations reportedly stormed the cockpit of a Delta Air Lines plane and dragged the co-pilot off the commercial airliner that landed at San Francisco International Airport on July 26.
Court documents said the child sex abuse began when the alleged victim was just 6 years old and continued until she was 11.
The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office said in a statement, "Detectives from the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff Investigation Division have been conducting an investigation since April 2025 after receiving a report of sex crimes against a child."
The pilot — 34-year-old Rustom Bhagwagar of Florida — was arrested and booked into the Martinez Detention Facility. Bhagwagar was initially charged with five counts of oral copulation with a child under 10 years of age.
However, the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office levied a total of 24 felony counts against Bhagwagar on Wednesday. The charges include engaging in a sexual act with a child 10 years old or younger, oral copulation with a child, forceable lewd acts upon a child, and aggravated sexual assault of a child.
A judge raised Bhagwagar's bail from $5 million to $15 million.
'By pursuing these cases vigorously, we not only seek justice for victims but also work to safeguard our entire community from those who would prey on children.'
Law enforcement recently revealed that Bhagwagar's ex-girlfriend is also accused of being involved with the sickening allegations of child sex abuse.
The Contra Costa Sheriff's Office said in a statement that 45-year-old Jennifer Powell was arrested on Wednesday.
Detectives from the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office arrested Powell in "connection with an ongoing investigation into sex crimes against a child."
Police said Powell is the mother of the alleged child sex abuse victim.
The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office said Powell was "charged in a related felony complaint and has been booked into the Martinez Detention Facility."
The DA noted that both Powell and Bhagwagar face sentences of 15 years to life in state prison.

KTVU-TV obtained a probable cause statement, which allegedly stated that Powell was aware that her young daughter was being sexually abused by her then-boyfriend, and that she observed and even participated in the alleged sexual crimes of her child.
Court documents said the child sex abuse began when the alleged victim was just 6 years old and continued until she was 11. Prosecutors noted that the suspected child sex abuse ended when Powell and Bhagwagar broke up.
Prosecutors reportedly said the daughter did not live with her mother.
The Contra Costa District Attorney's Office said the sexual abuse of a minor occurred between 2018 and 2023.
Bhagwagar and Powell did not enter pleas when they appeared in court on Wednesday, according to KTVU. Both suspects are reportedly scheduled to return to Contra Costa County Superior Court in August.
Contra Costa District Attorney Diana Becton stated, "Our office stands firmly committed to protecting children and holding those who cause harm accountable. Every child deserves to feel safe, protected, and heard when an injustice like this occurs. By pursuing these cases vigorously, we not only seek justice for victims but also work to safeguard our entire community from those who would prey on children."
The Contra Costa Sheriff's Office said the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information on the case is urged to contact the Investigation Division at 925-313-2600, email tips@so.cccounty.us, or call 866-846-3592 to leave an anonymous voice message.
Once the appalling accusations surfaced, Delta Air Lines immediately suspended Bhagwagar pending the investigation.
A Delta spokesperson told KTVU, "Delta has zero tolerance for unlawful conduct and will fully cooperate with law enforcement. We are appalled by reports of the charges related to the arrest."
