Child molesters can now be marched in front of firing squads in Idaho



A month after making firing squads the Gem State's primary method of execution, Idaho Gov. Brad Little (R) passed a law last week granting judges and juries the ability to sentence convicted pedophiles to the death penalty.

Republican Gov. Brad Little said upon ratifying the legislation making child rape a death penalty offense, "Just like capital murder destroys lives, aggravated sexual abuse of a young child devastates victims and families for generations. The sexual abuse of children is sickening and evil, and perpetrators convicted of these crimes deserve the ultimate punishment."

Idaho House Bill 380, sponsored by Republican state Reps. Bruce Skaug and Josh Tanner, sets a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 25 years, with the possibility of life in prison, for the molestation of a minor ages 13-16 by an adult if two of 14 aggravating factors are present.

Aggravating factors include whether:

  • the victim was kidnapped;
  • the pedophile cause great bodily harm to the victim;
  • the pedophile was engaged in human trafficking;
  • the pedophile was already a registered sex offender;
  • the pedophile was in a position of trust, had a supervisory or disciplinary power over the victim, or at the time of the offense had parental/custodial authority over the child;
  • the victim used coercion; and/or
  • the victim was choked during the commission of the lewd conduct.

Alternatively, an adult pedophile found guilty of engaging in aggravated lewd conduct with a child 12 or under shall now be punished by life in prison or by death if a pair of similar factors are present. The list of aggravating factors in such cases also includes any form of penile penetration as well as repeat incidents involving the same victim.

'Idaho will not tolerate these offenses.'

Idaho previously allowed the death penalty only in first-degree murder cases with aggravating factors.

Prior to its passage, Skaug told his colleagues on the Idaho House Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee, "Idaho currently has some of the most lenient statutes for child molestation and child rape in the nation," reported the Idaho Capital Sun.

"This legislation establishes a strong deterrent, making it clear Idaho will not tolerate these offenses," added Skaug.

The legislation passed the state House unopposed. In the state Senate, however, three Democrats — Sens. Alison Rabe, Ron Taylor, and Melissa Wintrow — and two Republicans — Sens. Phil Hart and Daniel Foreman — voted against the bill.

Gov. Little noted in a April 1 statement, "I commend my partners in the Legislature for strengthening Idaho's already powerful 'tough on crime' reputation among the state."

The Idaho Capital Sun noted that Idaho lawmakers expect a legal challenge, given that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 2008 5-4 decision that sentencing a pedophile to death for raping a child is unconstitutional in cases where the victim was not killed.

Former Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion, "The death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child," and added that "in most cases justice is not better served by terminating the life of the perpetrator rather than confining him and preserving the possibility that he and the system will find ways to allow him to understand the enormity of his offense."

Democratic state lawmakers around the country appear keen to soften penalties for those monsters who prey on children.

Colorado Democrats, for instance, voted in 2023 against a bill making indecent exposure to children a felony and killed another piece of legislation last year that would have mandated minimum sentences for predators who buy children for sexual exploitation.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom ratified legislation in 2020 that enabled judges to go easy on non-straight pedophiles convicted of sex crimes against teenage minors.

'We really believe that part of a just society is to have appropriate punishment.'

Last year, California Democrats, state Sen. Scott Wiener in particular, unsuccessfully fought against Republican legislation that would impose harsher penalties against perverts who pay for sex with children. According to CBS News, Wiener, an LGBT activist, figured the legislation "could target the wrong people by punishing young adults in consensual relationships with minors."

In March, Virginia Democrats killed legislation that would prevent sex offenders from loitering within state parks or places where they could find themselves around children, including near playgrounds, athletic field, day-care centers, or gymnasiums.

It's a different story in red states such as Florida, Tennessee, and Idaho, where pedophiles now run the risk of death by acting on their sick desires.

In 2023, Florida passed a law imposing the death penalty for child rapists.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis stated, "We really believe that part of a just society is to have appropriate punishment. And so, if you commit a crime that is really, really heinous, you should have the ultimate punishment."

Despite Democratic opposition, Tennessee Republicans successfully advanced House Bill 1663 last year, enabling trial judges and juries to put child rapists six feet under.

The legislation, ratified in May 2024 by Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R), mandates either a sentence of death, imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole, or life imprisonment for an adult pedophile convicted of rape of a child ages 8-13. A pedophile convicted of aggravated rape of a child 8 or younger must now necessarily receive the death penalty or life imprisonment without parole.

Alabama appears poised to become the next state to add child rape to its list of capital offenses. The state House voted 86-5 in February for a bill that would allow the imposition of the death penalty in cases where an adult convict victimized a child under 12.

Harvard president Larry Summers reportedly tried to get Jeffery Epstein to bankroll his wife's poetry project after the pedophile's conviction



Larry Summers, 68, served as former President Bill Clinton's Treasury secretary and as former President Barack Obama's top economic advisor. He apparently also talked money with another former big wig in Washington, even when others refused to.

According to documents recently obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Summers — touted by Politico last year as a "Democratic hero" — tried hitting up notorious pedophile and child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein for cash after his conviction in 2008 for soliciting sex from little girls.

Harvard University reportedly took tens of millions of dollars from Epstein from 2001 to 2006 while Summers was president. However, when Epstein was convicted in Florida in 2008, the university determined it wouldn't accept any more donations.

Summers, who appears on the flight log for Epstein's so-called Lolita Express numerous times, apparently made no such resolution.

Documents reportedly show that Summers scheduled dozens more meetings with the convicted pedophile from 2013 and 2016.

These were no mere boardroom meetings or chance encounters but dinners and other cozy rendezvous.

While a spokesman for Summers told the Journal that their interactions chiefly concerned "global economic issues," pet projects nevertheless came up on occasion.

Around 2014, Summers' current wife, Elisa New, an American literature professor at Harvard, reportedly wanted to hype her poetry coursework. Summers solicited Epstein — who by that time had been formally recognized as a sex offender for at least six years — for donations.

"I need small scale philanthropy advice. My life will be better if i raise $1m for Lisa," Summers said in an April 2014 email to the convicted pedophile. "Mostly it will go to make it a pbs series and for teacher training. Ideas?"

The duo decided to meet up for an intimate dinner.

Alan M. Dershowitz, also an Epstein friend, told the Harvard Crimson in 2003 that the yet-to-be-convicted pedophile "likes Larry Summers a lot. ... He speaks well of Larry."

It appears that fondness went a long way.

Epstein reportedly went in turn to Barnaby Marsh, then an executive at the charitable fund John Templeton Foundation. The foundation didn't cough up any cash for New's poetry project.

Despite this setback, $110,000 made its way from a nonprofit linked to Epstein over to New's nonprofit.

Summer's spokesman confirmed previous reports that Epstein ultimately funded a nonprofit that produced New's "Poetry in America" TV show.

The Harvard couple's spokesman indicated that the former university president "deeply regrets being in contact with Epstein after his conviction" and his wife "regrets accepting funding from Epstein."

Summers is not the only "Democratic hero" or leftist icon revealed to have stayed close with Epstein after he was exposed as a child-trafficking pedophile.

TheBlaze previously reported that former CIA director William Burns, leftist linguist Noam Chomsky, Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, Bard College President Leon Botstein, and others hobnobbed with Epstein after his 2008 conviction.

The Journal indicated that actor Woody Allen, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, and Israeli politician Ehud Barak were also among those in Epstein's post-conviction orbit.

Transgender Professor At Old Dominion University Rebrands Pedophiles As ‘Minor-Attracted Persons’

In the left's latest attempt to normalize pedophilia, an assistant professor at Old Dominion University made a deliberate attempt to destigmatize pedophilia

Kristie Alley angers many by declaring entertainment is leading us down a road towards accepting pedophilia



Kristie Alley voiced her opinion about children being exposed to "perverse" content on television and on the internet. The Hollywood actress warned that society's open-mindedness will eventually lead us down a road of accepting pedophilia. Alley's comments angered many, including fellow celebrities and an LGBTQ website.

"Was watching TV ...we've gone too far in my opinion. I feel sorry for our children," Alley tweeted on Tuesday morning. "Their exposure to everything perverse on every kind of screen is mind boggling. And even more tragic, it's being hyped as 'normal.'"

"No other generation has had such easy access to the underbelly of humanity," the actress continued. "SO many screens & chronic bombardment of images and concepts. Our current society would have been praising Caligula. Protect your children."

"I'm kinda on a roll but my heart's heavy with the sh** that's being crammed down our kid's throats," Alley proclaimed. "A 'moral code' is not old fashioned. Morals are simply guidelines for better survival. Explicit sexual 'education' and 'select' ideals being forced on kids is NOT better survival."

"People are becoming so 'open minded' that down the road they will support pediphilia as people 'just loving children' You think I'm kidding. I'm not," Alley said. "It's the direction this insanity is headed. You can 'ok boomer' me all you want but this is where we will veer unless we change."

"I love the way the twisty twists twist my fears about CHILDREN's futures into I'm against ADULTS having their choice of partners. Funny how all roads lead to that. I could care less who adults love or sleep with," she continued. "My topic today was children being exposed to dark things."

While thousands of people agreed with Alley, there were many who attacked the former "Cheers" star for her slippery slope stance.

The celebrity gossip website Socialite Life said her remarks were "rambling and incoherent," and mocked Alley by saying, "Scientologist and one-time actress, Kristie Alley, has apparently been listening to too many QAnon theories of late."

The Daily Wire reported, "Meanwhile, LGBTQ publication, Queerty, claimed Alley's concerns were nonsensical. 'Former actress Kirstie Alley took to Twitter this morning to rant incoherently about something she'd just watched on television,' the story said. 'Though she didn't say exactly what she had seen, based on her remarks, it seems to have been about teaching LGBTQ issues and sex ed in schools … God forbid we teach our children to be more kind and accepting of others.'"

Another Hollywood website called Alley's tweets "disturbing."

Singer and left-wing activist Ricky Davila, who is still hurt that Alley blocked him five years ago, targeted the actress, "The ever abhorrent Kirstie Alley is trending because she's obsessed with pedophilia as many of her allies in the GQP cult are and project about aka donor Josh Duggar. She blocked me in 2016, so I'm unable to call her a rabid hateful brainwashed lunatic to her face again. Oh well."

Political pundit Matthew Dowd responded, "Please seek the care of a team of mental health professionals."

Comedian Sarah Silverman replied, "Yes because pedophilia certainly doesn't at all thrive in good old fashioned repressed society like church and catholic school. Keeping kids in the dark is where darkness lives, Ma."

Earlier this week, a Washington Post writer advocated for children to be exposed to "kink" at Pride parades, which prompted many to accuse the writer of promoting pedophilia.
