Former singer of iconic all-girl rock band The Runaways eviscerates Democrats in scathing takedown: 'They don't give a d**n'



The former lead singer of legendary all-girl rock band The Runaways just ignited a cherry bomb of sorts — to borrow from the band's famous 1976 tune — and lobbed it at Democrats.

Check out what Cherie Currie — now 64 years old and still hitting the stage — posted Wednesday night on X:

— (@)

"It used to be PUNK, R&R to vote Democrat," Currie wrote. "I fell for it. But when your party demands you live in fear, squaller, beyond your means by just buying groceries, gasoline, disrespecting our veterans, our police, our elderly, supporting CRIMINALS, chaos, riots, Hamas, FAILING Israel, demeaning us at every turn! HURTING our CHILDREN! Wasting OUR MONEY. Ineptitude with every policy! Lies and more lies. NO MORE! The Democrat Party can KISS MY A$. They don’t give a damn. That’s true. Voting Dem used to be cool. But now, it just makes you a FOOL."

How are people reacting?

Chris Loesch — husband of conservative commentator Dana Loesch — replied to Currie that "punk to me was always anti-government and 'the man' Democrats were always about more government. That hypocritical dichotomy always bothered me."

Others reacting to Currie's post are with her all the way as well:

  • "Voting D used to mean that you are a free spirit," one user responded. "Now Democrats are the party of control."
  • "The tables turned," another commenter replied. "What the Democratic Party is today, 80s Democrats would have condemned. Trump had much to do with identifying the crooks, or 'The Swamp.' That inflamed the liars. What a mess! lol"
  • "Couldn’t agree more," another user said. "I recoiled in horror during the plandemic watching all my 'Punk/Rock and Roll' friends worship at the altar of fear and big pharma. My 72 -year-old mother asked 'whatever happened to Question Authority?' Dems are a joke now."
  • "I used to think punk and R&R was all about freedom of thought and expression, and keeping the gov't out of your private business and letting people think for themselves and question authority," another commenter acknowledged. "I never saw such a bunch of rule-followers as my group of punk-rock childhood friends during the pandemic. It was crushing how unquestioning and obedient they became. I haven’t been the same since."

Currie's unabashed takedown of Democrats and the left was not the first time she expressed such sentiments:

Anything else?

The Runaways were the brainchild of controversial Los Angeles rock promotor Kim Fowley. Original band member and rhythm guitarist Joan Jett met then-15-year-old Currie at a Hollywood teen disco called the Sugar Shack, and Encyclopedia.com said Currie "had a glam-rock bad-girl image that fit perfectly with the band’s teen-vixen image." While music critics savaged The Runaways, Jett as well as lead guitarist Lita Ford, bassist Jackie Fox, and drummer Sandy West carved out a niche by playing their own instruments.

Currie and Fox left the band in 1977, and The Runaways played their last show on Dec. 31, 1978, in San Francisco. Both Jett and Ford went on to successful solo careers. Currie continued to perform and record music, and she also acted. She also penned a memoir "Neon Angel," which Good Reads says "revolves around her dysfunctional family, her struggles with drugs and alcohol, sexual abuse, and her days with The Runaways."

A major motion picture "The Runaways" was released in 2010. Dakota Fanning portrayed Currie in the movie.

Oh, after one commenter on Currie's latest post asked her how close politically she is with Jett these days, Currie replied, "Last time she was at my home a decade ago she said, 'You ARE a Democrat, right?' Now, I have no f**king clue. Nor do I care."

Ulta Beauty Is Just The Latest Big Business To See Dollar Signs In Pushing Gender-Bending On Minors

Unhappy teen girls become easy prey for the institutions that have welcomed the booming gender-confusion industry.

16-year-old hero jumps into river to save 3 teen girls as their car sinks. He also rescues cop who swam out to help girls but started to struggle.



Corion Evans, 16, is getting major praise after jumping into a river in Mississippi early Sunday morning and rescuing three teenage girls as their car sank — and coming to the aid of a police officer who also jumped in to help but began to struggle.

\u201cHow great is this! 16-year-old Corion Evans jumped into action to save four people when a vehicle drove off a boat launch and into the Pascagoula River! https://t.co/dpn5C0CUVT\u201d
— WLBT 3 On Your Side (@WLBT 3 On Your Side) 1657056610

What are the details?

Authorities said the three girls were in a car on the Interstate 10 boat launch that ended up in the Pascagoula River and began to sink, WLOX-TV reported.

“They drove straight under the water,” Evans told WLOX. “Like, only a little bit of the car was still above the water.”

With that, Evans told the station he tossed off his shoes, shirt, and phone — and jumped into the river.

“I was just like, ‘I can’t let none of these folks die. They need to get out the water.’ So, I just started getting them,” the Pascagoula High student added to WLOX. “I wasn’t even thinking about nothing else.”

Evans added to the station that he was "behind them trying to keep them above water and swim with them at the same time."

He wasn't the only hero of the morning. One of Evans' friends — Karon “KJ” Bradley — jumped in as well and helped get the girls to the top of their vehicle, WLOX reported.

Evans — who's been swimming since he was about three years old — not only helped bring the three girls to shore but also came to the aid of Moss Point Police Officer Gary Mercer who swam out to help, the station said.

“I turned around. I see the police officer,” Evans added to WLOX. “He’s drowning. He’s going underwater, drowning, saying, ‘Help!” So, I went over there. I went and I grabbed the police officer, and I’m like swimming him back until I feel myself I can walk.”

In the aftermath, he told the station the victims were "throwing up because a lot of water had got inside all of them. Twenty five yards [from shore], so it was a lot of swimming. My legs were so tired after. Anything could’ve been in that water, though. But I wasn’t thinking about it.”

Officer Mercer and the three girls were taken to a hospital and are recovering, WLOX said, adding that Mercer is expected to be back on duty later this week.

'Saved my life right before my last breath'

Marquita Evans expressed pride in her son, saying he "wasn’t just thinking about himself. He was trying to really get all those people out the water. I’m glad nothing happened to him while he was trying to save other people’s lives," the station said.

Moss Point Police Chief Brandon Ashley released the following statement to WLOX: “The police department and I commend Mr. Evans’s bravery and selflessness he displayed by risking his own safety to help people in danger. If Mr. Evans had not assisted, it could have possibly turned out tragically instead of all occupants rescued safely.”

One of the rescued girls, Cora Watson, went on Facebook to reveal that Evans “saved my life right before my last breath," the station said.

\u201cHeroic 16 Year Old Mississippi Student Corion Evans saves 3 teenage girls and an officer after the girls drove their car into the River. Corion we salute your efforts and sacrifice! May your compassion & bravery serve as an example to others!\u201d

Report: Facebook knows Instagram is harming teen girls but keeps pushing the app on them anyway



Facebook executives are reportedly well aware that subsidiary photo-sharing app Instagram is harmful to teenage girls, but they keep pushing the platform on them anyway.

What are the details?

Despite consistently downplaying the seriousness of the issue to the public, researchers inside Instagram have known and understood for years the negative mental health effects the social media platform has on teenage girls, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday after reviewing a trove of internal documents.

"Thirty-two percent of teen girls said that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse," researchers reportedly said in a slide presentation posted to Facebook's internal message board in March 2020. "Comparisons on Instagram can change how young women view and describe themselves."

"We make body image issues worse for one in three teen girls," another slide from 2019 said, according to the Journal.

"Teens blame Instagram for increases in the rate of anxiety and depression," another added. "This reaction was unprompted and consistent across all groups."

The Journal reported that one document showed, "Among teens who reported suicidal thoughts, 13% of British users and 6% of American users traced the desire to kill themselves to Instagram."

Why does it matter?

The news that a widely used photo-sharing app is toxic for young girls is not surprising. Mere anecdotal analysis could easily predict that such an app would lead girls to base their self-worth on the number of "followers" their account attracts or the number of "likes" a particular image receives, rather than on their character or capabilities.

It is also not surprising that researchers within the company know full well its negative effects. What is perhaps surprising — or at least notable — is Facebook's response to its own findings. Which, at this point, appears to be acknowledging the harmful effects while continuing to exploit the market.

"Instagram is well positioned to resonate and win with young people," another internal slide said, while yet another stated, "There is a path to growth if Instagram can continue their trajectory."

It's true. Documents show that more than 40% of Instagram's users are individuals 22 and younger, making young people a vital target demographic for the company.

This could explain why Facebook, according to the Journal, "has made minimal efforts to address these issues and plays them down in public."

What else?

It's unclear what legal responsibility Facebook might have in safeguarding teenage girls against its product's harms. But some wholeheartedly believe that action should be taken, drawing an interesting comparison between Facebook and large tobacco companies.

"Facebook seems to be taking a page from the textbook of Big Tobacco — targeting teens with potentially dangerous products while masking the science in public," Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Conn.) wrote in an email to the newspaper.

Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University, added: "If you believe that R.J. Reynolds should have been more truthful about the link between smoking and lung cancer, then you should probably believe that Facebook should be more upfront about links to depression among teen girls."

Teen girls face felony charges after allegedly robbing dead man's body and posting the video to Snapchat



Two teenage girls in Bexar County, Texas, have been charged with felonies for allegedly stealing jewelry from a dead man's body before posting video of the theft on social media.

Investigators said the girls — ages 16 and 17 — discovered the corpse of a 25-year-old man in a drainage ditch in Medina Valley Monday morning, according to KSAT-TV.

The man is believed to have hanged himself from a roadside railing with a shirt. He had discoloration throughout his body when he was found, and the Bexar County medical examiner's office has ruled his death a suicide.

But when the girls discovered his body, they didn't immediately alert authorities. Rather, they called a friend who then called law enforcement. In the meantime, it appears they engaged in the sinister act of stealing right off the dead man's body, according to video evidence later obtained by deputies.

Videos of the theft — which the girls reportedly posted on Snapchat — allegedly showed the girls moving around near the man's body before stealing a chain and medallion from his neck, according to an arrest affidavit viewed by KSAT.

A deputy recognized the girls in the video as witnesses at the original crime scene and brought them in for questioning. During the interviews, the 17-year-old girl, identified as Bethany Martin, allegedly said that she grabbed the jewelry because her friend liked the necklace and pendant the man was wearing.

Martin added that she tossed the chain into the grass and gave the medallion to her friend.

The friend, who is not being named because she is a juvenile, reportedly told deputies that she took the medallion and placed it on her own gold necklace because it "matched her fashion style."

The medallion has now been retrieved by authorities and returned to the man's family.

Both girls have been charged with theft from a human corpse or grave, a felony charge in Texas. Booking records on Bexar County Jail's website show that Martin was arrested Tuesday and then released on a $2,000 bond.
