Transgender Substitute Teacher Arrested for Planning Killing Spree

Cole Allen is not the only woke teacher to pose a threat to public safety. Fox News introduces us to Hadyn Dollery:

Dollery, 19, of Chantilly, Virginia, was arrested and charged with making “threats of bodily injury” after local sheriffs received tips through the “Safe2Talk” application that the individual was threatening to commit violence at a high school near Aldie. …

Dollery was a “non-licensed” substitute teacher for the 2025-26 school year…

He identifies as a woman. Aldie is located in the Swamp suburb Loudoun County, which has become well known for transsexual insanity in the context of schools. See for example:

Why They Arrested Loudoun County Parent Scott Smith
Loudoun County Students Push Back Against LGBTism
Devils of Loudoun County
Devils of Loudoun County Outrage Continues

Dollery reportedly planned to commit a “murder spree” at the school and had a kill list.

Fortunately, he was apprehended before becoming featured in the Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors.

North Carolina Schools to Close on Communist Holiday So That Agitators Can Agitate

May Day is the traditional communist holiday. The Soviet Union marked it with massive parades. Today the communist threat comes not from Russia but from institutions subverted by Marxists within our own country. This report from North Carolina’s News & Observer comes as no surprise:

Several school districts have canceled classes on May 1 because so many teachers have requested the day off to join a mass protest in Raleigh organized by the North Carolina Association of Educators.

For example,

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board voted Friday [to] make May 1 an optional teacher workday for traditional-calendar schools because 2,622 teachers had requested the day off.

At least nine North Carolina school districts will close schools on May 1 because leftist agitators will be too busy agitating to indoctrinate children. They want the government to take more money from others and give it to them.

Barks NCAE President Tamika Walker Kelly:

“We will not back down when it comes to ensuring our children receive the education they need and deserve.”

Apparently this is accomplished not by showing up to teach but by taking to the streets to wave placards and shout demands.

The rally in Raleigh is entitled “Kids Over Corporations,” combining the usual “for the children” posturing with more straightforward Marxist hostility to economic freedom. Echoing the communist Bernie Sanders, the website for the rally demands that “billionaires and corporations pay their fair share.” It ominously promises to “Reclaim Our Democracy.” “Our Democracy” is Liberalese for leftist rule.

Tamika Walker Kelly makes her case for squeezing “corporations and the wealthy”:

Libs Try Again

Given the constant drumbeat of outrageously inflammatory rhetoric from the liberal establishment to the effect that having an elected president who is not a Democrat constitutes a threat to Our Democracy, and given the deranged, hysterical, and malevolent nature of the Democrat base, we knew it would not be long before they tried yet again to kill President Trump. The latest accused wannabe assassin is Cole Allen.

Daily Caller reports:

Allen was praised as “Teacher of the Month” by C2 Education of Torrance in a December 2024 Facebook post from the tutoring school. His LinkedIn profile lists him as a part-time teacher with C2 and an independent video game developer.

You can only imagine what kids are taught by someone woke enough to be named a Teacher of the Month in California.

Needless to say, Allen is a Democrat:

Dan Rather ought to be pleased. He was among the 250+ journalists who demanded that the participants at last night’s event “forcefully demonstrate opposition” to Trump. From Wednesday:

This will be the first White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner Trump has attended as president. Liberal media piranhas will try to make it his last.

At least the liberal media piranhas don’t try to blow Trump’s brains out. They just egg on others to do it.

Although they won’t mention it, even journalists must have noticed that all of the political violence is from the left. There is no question who the bad guys are.

Will liberals be shamed into backing down from trying to hype each other into assassinating the president? Not likely.

If you think they are scary now, just wait until they take power.

Illinois Bill to Turn All Parks Into Homeless Encampments

Moonbat plutocrat JB Pritzker wants to be president. That would allow him to do to the whole country what his fellow leftists have been inflicting on Illinois. For example, he might turn all parks and public areas into homeless encampments.

Wirepoints reports on a new bill sponsored exclusively by Democrats:

It’s House Bill 1429, the Local Regulation of Unsheltered Homelessness Act, which says local governments wouldn’t be able to establish or enforce a rule fining or criminally punishing homeless people for participating in “life sustaining activities.”

You know, like taking over public parks to indulge in the activities normally associated with the homeless community, like public defecation, drug use, prostitution, theft, random assault, et cetera.

Explicitly, “life sustaining activities” include sleeping, “protecting oneself from the elements,” and “storing personal property as needed to shelter oneself.”

Cancer that starts in Chicago metastasizes statewide:

Chicago already broadly allows encampments in its parks, many of which have been trashed. Visit some of the parks yourself where encampments are being set up or see pictures here from the Restore Gompers Park Coalition, a group opposing the Illinois bill.

As noted by the Restore Gompers Park Coalition,

“HB-1429 prohibits local park districts, county forest preserves, and municipalities from creating and enforcing their own policies and ordinances as they relate to individuals experiencing homelessness, meaning your local playground or your nature space can become a long-term encampment, and the elected officials in your community will not be able to do anything about it.”

Local radio host Jeanne Ives has more:

Elsewhere on the social engineering front,

Illinois is considering a bill to override local zoning laws to allow multifamily building construction in single-family residential neighborhoods. Gov. JB Pritzker is a strong supporter.

The likely purpose is to pave the way for public housing — a.k.a., government-run slums like Chicago’s Cabrini-Green — which Pritzker has been working to extend into formerly livable suburbs.

From ruined blue states like Illinois, Democrats hope to take their bizarrely sanctimonious malice nationwide, so as to fundamentally transform the USA as promised.

Jimmy Kimmel Gets Peabody Award for Telling Outrageous Lie About Charlie Kirk Assassination

Due to the vileness at the heart of the liberal establishment, well-known awards are no longer a cause for pride but rather a mark of shame. The formerly respected Nobel Peace Prize has been granted to multiple terrorists (Yasser Arafat, Nelson Mandela), a communist dictator (Mikhail Gorbachev), a conman (Al Gore), and even Jimmy Carter. Likewise, the Peabody Award has been awarded to one of the most contemptible people imaginable, for the most contemptible reason imaginable.

NewsBusters reports that Jimmy Kimmel has received the award for telling a bald-faced lie in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination:

To recap, Kimmel declared on September 15 that “we hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

There was no joke. There was no satire. Kimmel made a good, old-fashioned declarative statement about Kirk’s alleged assassin who, even at the time, was known to be on the left.

That is, he lied, exploiting a murder by one of his fellow leftists to score political points while accusing others of doing so.

Peabody reveres him for this, portraying this cockroach as a martyr for free speech because he was momentarily suspended by Disney/ABC for obvious reasons.

For context, watch Kimmel gloat about Trump being censored on social media:

Note that Kimmel was also pleased about Parler being taken offline for serving as a platform for conservatives.

The liberal definition of free speech is “We get to tell twisted lies, and you have to shut up.”

Other 2026 Peabody Awards rewarded propagandists for promoting sexual perversion, Islam, and the Great Replacement. A felony conviction would be less shameful than having won a Peabody Award.

DEI Dunce Fired From Cincinnati Police Chief Post

It doesn’t happen often, but we have good news from moonbattery-addled Cincinnati. Via Fox News:

Cincinnati’s now-former police chief, once sued by subordinates for alleged discrimination against White male officers, has been fired.

A termination announcement says Teresa Theetge was “begged” to put more officers on the streets during a crime-riddled summer last year.

The crime has featured black mobs pummeling disfavored Caucasians in the streets, secure in the knowledge that they have the tacit if not explicit approval of the liberals in charge.

In May of last year, four White male officers filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Theetge, who was the city’s first female police chief, saying that they were passed over for promotions and passed over for preferred assignments because of their race and/or sex.

If Theetge is replaced by a still more unqualified Woman of Color, at least there will be some poetic justice.

Looks like this stern message from Chief Theetge was ineffective:

Her lawyer Stephen Imm remains defiant. Via WLWT:

“We will get justice for Terri Theetge, and those responsible for this disgusting act will be held accountable.”

The “disgusting act” was throwing Theetge overboard.
