A 38-year-old Chicago man accused of molesting three pre-teen girls told police he is a boy trapped in a man’s body, according to court documents.
Joseph Roman was charged with a long list of sexual molestation charges after three girls between the ages of six and eight came forward alleging they were assaulted during a three-year period.
During a January 24 hearing, Roman reportedly admitted to some of the charges and told the court he felt he was “a nine-year-old trapped in an adult’s body,” according to the Chicago Tribune.
Prosecutors said the attacks began in 2015 after a family moved into a home with the suspect, and they continued until 2017. Roman reportedly began assaulting the first child while the others were asleep. The child was six when the assaults allegedly started.
Roman is also accused of molesting an eight-year-old while her family also stayed with the suspect. During the ten-week period the family stayed in Roman’s home, prosecutors say the suspect repeatedly abused the girl while other members of the family were out of the home. The child’s mother worked nights, and Roman was tasked with minding the children, according to investigators.
Finally, prosecutors allege that Roman assaulted a third child while she slept in his home visiting the other children. This six-year-old girl’s family confronted Roman about the allegations, and the police were called.
Roman reportedly turned in a video confession to the court and was charged with a Class X felony.
It should be clear by now to anyone paying attention to the Mueller witch hunt, the Deep State leaks and lies, the anti-Trump dossier, the corrupt media hacks and hit pieces — That the US has never faced such a menacing threat from the shadow government and Deep State criminals.
Just this week we learned that the phony Russia Dossier was “unverified” and full of ridiculous claims but the Deep State used it to spy on the Trump campaign, the Trump business empire and the Trump Tower.
The phony dossier was used to obtain Trump FISA warrants.
Yet the Deep State knew it was all a lie.
The Deep State knew the DNC and Hillary Campaign funded it.
Now it looks like the Deep State actually had the Russians do the investigation and feed it to them.
So the Russians punked Fusion GPS and Deep State with a crackpot dossier.
Earlier this week we reported that another Fusion GPS expert lied to Congress about his work with the dossier.
And now we find out that Fusion GPS let Putin do the work on the anti-Trump dossier.
Paul Sperry at The New York Post reported:
Virtually all of the credibility of the so-called Steele dossier — and the Trump-Russia collusion narrative and investigations it spawned — hinges on Christopher Steele’s vaunted reputation as a former British intelligence agent who spied on Moscow and still maintains a network of sources inside the Kremlin.
But now we are finding out from newly released transcripts that he never even set foot inside Russia to compile his dossier, and that he relied instead on an ex-journalist-turned-p.r. consultant to do much of his investigating there. In fact, this non-intelligence figure may be his main “Russian source” of information.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina) asked Steele’s Clinton-paid handler Glenn Simpson, during the House Intelligence Committee’s Nov. 14 closed-door hearing, if Steele had gone “to Russia as part of this project,” to which Simpson replied, “No, sir.” Steele, at the time he compiled the dossier, hadn’t been back to Russia in 17 years.
So, Gowdy pressed, “How was he able to accumulate information in Russia if he didn’t go?” Simpson claimed that Steele ran a “network of subsources or subcontractors” who traveled around Russia and gathered information for him.
But it turns out the primary subcontractor worked not for Steele but for Simpson at Washington-based Fusion GPS, and he contributed key material for the investigation of Trump underwritten by the Clinton campaign. His name is Edward Baumgartner, a British national who speaks fluent Russian and runs a p.r. shop out of London (and who spent 2016 tweeting his forceful opposition to Trump’s candidacy).
While Baumgartner was working on the dossier, he was also working for Simpson on another case to smear an anti-Putin whistleblower in an effort to help Putin-tied company Prevezon defend itself against US charges of money laundering.
During that contract, which ran through October 2016, Baumgartner worked closely in Moscow with the Russian lawyer who lobbied Donald Trump Jr. at a now-infamous Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 to help lift US sanctions on Russia. Her talking points were written by Simpson, who also dealt directly with the lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – During a meeting in Davos with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump placed the full responsibility for restarting the peace talks on the Palestinians. President Trump said that peace discussion could never get past the issue of Jerusalem.
TOM FITTON: ‘There’s More Than Enough Evidence, Especially on Classified Info Abuse to Arrest Hillary Clinton Now’ (VIDEO)
January 26, 2018 by Cristina Laila
President of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton says enough is enough, arrest Hillary Clinton now.
President of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton is relentless in his fight to put Hillary Clinton behind bars where she belongs after decades of corruption.
The evidence against Hillary Clinton mishandling classified information is overwhelming. Arrest Hillary Clinton now.
Fitton spoke about Hillary’s classified information being found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. Weiner’s wife and Hillary aide Huma Abedin transmitted classified information and passwords on her Yahoo email accounts.
There are 2,800 government emails on Weiner’s laptop which the State Department is slowly releasing to the public. More emails found on Weiner’s laptop will be released Friday.
Fitton says the Justice Department needs to launch a serious investigation and prosecute Hillary and Huma.
Tom Fitton referred to Comey’s investigation into Hillary Clinton a “sham”.
“You got a Russia scandal, you’ve gotta Bahrain scandal, you gotta China scandal, you gotta Nigeria scandal…you still gotta Benghazi scandal!” Fitton said.
Fitton said, “We’ve known for some time the Clinton investigation was a sham and corrupt. The text messages are further proof. Clinton email investigation should be reopened. More than enough evidence, especially on classified info abuse, to arrest Mrs. Clinton now.”

Google’s Home A.I. assistant refused to define Jesus Christ in an experiment recorded by television producer David Sams, but happily defined Muhammad and Buddha.
When asked who Jesus Christ is, the Google Home replied, “Sorry, I’m not sure how to help” or “My apologies I don’t understand.”
“I even asked Google who is David Sams? Google knew who I was, but Google did not know who Jesus was, Google did not know who Jesus Christ was, and Google did not know who God was,” claimed Sams. “It’s kinda scary, it’s almost like Google has taken Jesus and God out of smart audio.”
“I don’t know if there’s some kind of wizard making these decisions or if it’s some kind of oversight,” he continued. “But whatever it is, they need to address it immediately.”
Despite not being able to tell Sams who Jesus Christ was, it recited biographies of other religious leaders including Muhammad and Buddha.
When Sams asked Amazon’s Alexa A.I. assistant — a competitor to the Google Home, who Jesus Christ was — it promptly recited the Wikipedia page.
President Trump’s proposed deal with the Democrats on legalizing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients in exchange for a border wall, an end to the visa lottery, and an end to chain migration, is drawing some cautions from the right, as Ed Straker’s piece on radio host Mark Levin’s thoughts shows. But I think another radio host, Bill Mitchell, paints what’s going on better. Far from this being a classic Republican cave-in, the DACA proposal probably a clever Trumpian deal to outsmart the Democrats and leave them out on their ear.
After all, while ending illegal immigration and restoring rule of law is important to conservatives, it’s not going to be easy to throw every DACA recipient out. Some after all are valedictorians, and Americans have no stomach for throwing them back to the s-holes. So there is Trump’s deal and it might benefit all sides, including Republicans.
For one thing, it’s bigger than anything the Democrats have laid out – citizenship for 1.8 million DACA and wannabe DACA recipients after a dozen years, which is about the same time as the immigration line for a green card, meaning it doesn’t stiff those waiting legally. Democrats must feel like they have been playing smallball compared to this, and of course Republicans will benefit at least slightly. Trump has taken the lead and stolen their thunder.
Here’s what Mitchell wrote on Twitter:
Remember, Trump’s broader stated goal is “merit-based” immigration. His new “DACA deal” is just that. He brings the illegals out of the shadows by registering them. They screw up once, they’re gone. He just added a “merit-based” filter to illegal immigration. Smart.
A path to citizenship under Trump’s plan would take 12 long years. During that time, “Dreamers” must be PERFECT or they get deported. In the end, the only ones left to achieve citizenship are here on “merit” and will likely vote Republican because they will be prosperous.
It makes sense because studies show that most Dreamers are underachievers, many of whom are just high school graduates, heavy welfare users, have petty crime backgrounds, and do not speak English. It’s almost a given that most won’t make it to the twelve-year finish line without getting into a bar fight, getting caught graffiti-spraying, or be picked up for drunk driving. The only ones who make it will be those with a work ethic and family values. Those actually are the ones who could become Republicans in the long run.
Trump knows this. Democrats don’t. They believe their own propaganda about all DREAMers being valedictorians. All it would take is the course of time for the sheep to sort themselves out from the goats and then we’d see. At the end, we would get the creme de la creme, and based on their values, not on the things Democrats value, such as class or skin color, just values. Trump’s DACA twelve-year test is for them to have a chance to show their values, kind of like Hercules being asked to perform the twelve labors. In the end, we’d get the people who would actually like being Americans and succeed at it. We wouldn’t have to keep the goats. The goats would go back to Mexico, or wherever.
It’s not foolproof, of course. All it takes is one leftwing judge to vacate a conviction on account of the consequences for a DACA recipient’s citizenship prospects, nullifying the entire incentive to be good. What’s more, as Levin points out, another president can ease the time requirements to nothing, and if he is a Democrat, he will. Also, it’s a stretch to say that if DACA recipients get prosperous they’ll vote conservative. Has Mitchell been to any big cities lately?
But it’s a gamble a lot of us can live with. It also has political advantages. Trump can be the champion of DACA, not Nancy Pelosi, and then where would Democrats be? He’d have stolen their thunder. Mitchell thinks it’s political, too.
Democrats do not want amnesty for DACA recipients. They want #IdentityPolitics as a campaign issue for 11/18. Trump gets that and is denying them what they really want. Think strategic. #RedTsunami2018.
If Democrats accept Trump’s DACA deal they alienate their far left base by caving on the wall. If they reject the deal, they alienate everyone else by being #AmericaLast. By sweetening a deal Democrat leadership CANNOT accept, he completely marginalizes them for 11/18. Get it?
Realistically, after all we have seen of Trump in the last year, would he really botch it? He’ rolled Democrats every time they got near him. This tweet from a thoughtful Washington operative, seems to state it best:
Dear liberals:
He bested you in the electoral college, passed a tax cut without you, turned the shutdown against you, and repealed your beloved health care mandate.
He’s unraveling your gains on judges, welfare, and regulation.

Just this week, President Trump called for legalizing some 700,000 “DREAMers,” but today is a new day, and now Trump is also offering citizenship an additional 1.1 million illegal aliens who never even applied to be “DREAMers” in return for a border wall and an end to chain migration…in 10 years. Mark Levin said that Trump’s offer is terrible for the country and an awful bargaining strategy on his radio show last night (largely in the first ten minutes of his show):
This is a bigger number than Barack Obama ever contemplated. Obama is laughing tonight. I know you will be told that this is the greatest act of genius since man walked on two feet. Ladies and gentlemen, we just gave up half the battlefield! And rather than just beginning this process by standing firm on issues that matter to us and make them make their proposal of how many people should get citizenship, we flop down 1.8 million amnesty, which is a starting point to them now. Why would you add another million who never even applied for DACA, who may have fraudulent or criminal backgrounds?
Even Obama didn’t go beyond DACA and talk about 1.8 million. It’s going to be spun as absolute genius. No, it’s not; it’s absolutely pathetic. They’ve upped the number from 700,0000 to 1.8 million, and they’ve gotten nothing for it, absolutely nothing for it. So our starting point is not legalization for 700,000; it’s amnesty [citizenship] for 1.8 million.
That’s an important point. Obama was talking only about legalization; Trump is talking about citizenship, and for a much higher number.
Levin also points out that while Trump claims he will delay citizenship for illegals for ten to twelve years, Trump will not be president in ten to twelve years, and another president can speed up the process of citizenship for illegals. Furthermore, future presidents or future congresses can stop work on the wall. And the president doesn’t even request mandatory E-Verify or an end to birthright citizenship. The only thing we know for sure is that there would be amnesty for millions of illegals, right now.
President Donald Trump’s new “framework” amnesty plan would provide citizenship to at least 1.8 million illegals – but would not allow any beneficial reduction in cheap-labor immigration until 2027. …
[T]he lottery program would be ended, but the 50,000 lottery visas per year would be given to other migrants, so doing nothing to reduce the wage-lowering inflow of cheap labor.
More importantly, chain[ ]migration would formally end immediately, but everyone on the huge waiting list would be allowed into the United States. That pipeline of pending chain[ ]migration immigrants includes roughly 4 million people – many of whom will depend on taxpayer funds because they are either unskilled or too old to work. That population is enough to keep the chain[ ]migration pipeline open for another ten years, which means [that] the public … gains a benefit [only] if the alliance of business groups and progressives somehow fails to expand other areas of the immigration system during the next ten years.
“Everybody gets in,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “It will be eight to 10 years before there’s any reduction in immigration numbers.”
In the 1980s, a similar plan to provide green cards to an estimated population of 400,000 farm[ ]workers eventually provided green cards to 1 million people who claim to be farm[ ]workers, including an Egyptian cabby in New York who used his green card to train overseas for the first bombing attack against the Twin Towers in 1993.
Basically, the deal boils down to massive amnesty now and an end to chain migration and border security years from now, if ever. And if the starting number for amnesty is 1.8 million, plus millions more in chain migration for years to come, you can be sure that the final number will be much, much larger.
I’m still waiting to understand how Trump, who keeps offering concession after concession, who is pushing for amnesty in larger numbers than President Obama’s original DACA program, is still a brilliant negotiator.
He’s not. He’s stabbed his voters in the back. On immigration, Trump is a terrible disappointment.

A former abortion worker is sharing her testimony, from storing aborted babies in milk jugs to learning to sleep in the dark again, in order to tell others like her: “get out.” Her story focuses on one of the most-underreported major crimes in years.
In Washington, D.C. for the March for Life, former abortion worker Adrienne Moton spoke with MRC Culture during a Jan. 18 press conference with And Then There Were None (ATTWN). Led by former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson, the nonprofit helps clinic workers leave the abortion industry. While Moton didn’t work at Planned Parenthood, her place of employment is known by many in the pro-life movement as the “house of horrors,” or, the clinic of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell.
For her part, Moton served two-and-a-half years in prison and three years probation after working under Gosnell. According to a local NBC affiliate, Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore “told the court Moton understood what she was doing at the clinic was wrong, unlike other clinic employees.”
Among other things, Gosnell was convicted May 2013 of first-degree murder of three babies (while the Grand Jury report, The Hollywood Reporter has noted, “alleges Gosnell killed hundreds of infants by sticking scissors into their necks”). But the trial, in which witnesses like Moton described baby abortion survivors “swimming” in toilets “to get out,” attracted a mere 12 – 15 reporters. Only after 56 days, with pressure from both politicians and the public, did the all three broadcast networks report on Gosnell.
Because of the lack of media coverage, filmmaker husband-and-wife team Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney created a movie – and wrote a book – of the case.
At the Family Research Council’s Jan. 19 ProLifeCon, Abby Johnson told the audience that Moton was an answered prayer. When Johnson first heard of Gosnell’s “unspeakable crimes,” she wrote “every person that had been on trial and was in prison for the crimes that they were involved with in Gosnell’s clinic.”
That’s because, Johnson said, she was “appalled” by some pro-lifers who wished that those involved would die or “go to hell.” Instead, she prayed that, one day, she would “be able to speak to one of them, to let them know that what was being said of them was not indicative of the entire pro-life movement.”
Three years later, her phone rang. It was Moton.
Moton shared her story with MRC Culture. When she first began at Gosnell’s clinic, she intended to “just volunteer.” She had recently left her husband and needed “income, to make a couple of dollars.” Video below.
But she stayed, she said, and “next thing I know, it’s [been] three years.”
Before helping with abortions, she was first “trained on doing the instruments,” like ultrasounds, and even “started going to school for it.” She felt she “owed” Gosnell while working under him – she had grown close to the Gosnell family after meeting his niece in high school.
“They helped me through high school, my prom, when my daughter was born, everything,” she stressed. “They’ve been there for me. I just felt like I owed them.”
Furthermore, she said, Gosnell “taught her everything,” even though she “wasn’t licensed.”
“We were a great team,” she recalled. “I became his ace, as they say, ‘right-hand man,’ and made sure everything was set up correctly.”
She also detailed some of the bizarre practices at Gosnell’s clinic. Aborted babies, she said, were stored in “gallon-milk cartons where we had to, we had to cut the top of it, of course, to make the hole big enough.”
“There were milk, the gallon milk jugs,” she continued. “That’s what we stored [them in], and we had to put them in the freezer for the biohazard people to come.”
After experiencing that, she left his clinic in 2008, because she started feeling a “heaviness” or feeling “that I just had to get of there.”
“I came to a point where I knew this is not the place for me,” she urged. “What I was doing was totally wrong, and it took a toll on me physically.”
Then, from January 2011 to May 2013, she served time in prison for her work with Gosnell. When she later turned to a ministry for help, they handed her Johnson’s number. From there, she joined And Then There Were None.
According to Moton, helping with abortions “didn’t bother” her at the start.
“I’ve had two abortions of my own,” she revealed. “So I understood what the ladies were going through. I’ve been in their shoes. So my thing was I have to support them.”
But then, she said, she “became numb with all the craziness that was going on.” She added, “And it was ‘normal.’ It was normal.”
To those still working in abortion clinics, Moton advised “get out.”
“My advice is to get out while you can. Get out while you can,” she urged. “Don’t end up like me, where it’s too late, you end up in prison. Just get out. There’s help out here. There’s resources.”
Staying in the abortion industry comes with consequences, she said.
“I had to learn how to sleep in the dark again,” she admitted. “It takes a toll on you mentally. And people that work in these clinics, they really can’t talk to nobody. They just feel as though they’re going to get judged and everything.”
For Americans who want to help abortion workers leave the industry, Moton stressed that “what you say to a person” and even a smile can make all the difference. Training is also important.
“It’s funny because there’s a Planned Parenthood in my neighborhood. And I always wonder ‘What can I do to get their attention?’” she said. “But I will not do it yet because I’m not trained.” She hoped that, later, she will “be trained to do stuff like that.”
Workers also find difficulty leaving because of their finances: “People got bills, people got kids, it’s hard out here,” she said.
But money isn’t everything. Moton elaborated on what finally pushed her to leave. Running into issues with Mrs. Gosnell, “for no apparent reason,” was just the “icing on the cake,” she said.
“I already had that feeling where I had to get out of here,” she stressed. “It was hard because I thought about income, ‘What am I going to do?’ But I gave him my two weeks [notice].”
She felt better immediately.
“It was the best feeling in the world, the weight was lifted,” she remembered. “I still had little thoughts going on in my head, like I told you, I had to learn how to sleep in the dark again.” But, she added, she was “free from that building,” even if she wasn’t “free mentally.” And that, she said, “was a start.”
Just once she returned “just to say hi to everybody” at the clinic, but then she “stayed away” after that. She commented that that decision “was the best feeling ever.”
Today, she concluded, she’s “going through my healing journey” after working in the abortion industry.
“I’m very, I’m a blessed woman,” she said, with some “powerful women” supporting her, likely referring to the women who are a part of And Then There Were None. “I’m thankful. I’m thankful. And grateful.”
<p>Immediately following President Trump’s speech before business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this morning, CNN had the usual knee-jerk reaction to find something to complain about. Despite the abundance of stories of how Trump’s tax plan has benefitted countless companies who are passing on their saved money to their employees, CNN refused to give Trump credit for the positive economy news.</p>
It is no secret that New York state isn’t a friendly environment for supporters of the Second Amendment or businesses engaged in the firearms industry. This has been made abundantly clear in recent years by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other elected officials.
The consequences of New York’s anti-gun attitude and laws just hit home economically as a premium firearms manufacturer in the state has decided to expand their business into the decidedly pro-Second Amendment state of Alabama instead of continuing to grow their original home in Yonkers, just north of New York City.
Kimber Manufacturing Incorporated, maker of top-end handguns and rifles, will soon open a new production facility in Troy, Alabama, according to AL.com.
The large automated design, engineering and manufacturing plant is expected to be opened in 2019, and will cost about $38 million and provide over 366 jobs over the next several years.
During her State of the State address, Gov. Kay Ivey proudly announced that Alabama “can offer Kimber an ideal business environment and a skilled workforce for its expansion project.”
“Kimber’s investment in Troy will create a significant number of high-paying design, engineering and manufacturing jobs, and we are committed to helping the company find long-lasting success in Alabama,” she added.
The move was welcomed by the state’s Secretary of Commerce Greg Canfield, who stated that Kimber was “a first-class firearms manufacturer with a reputation for precision craftsmanship, dependability and accuracy, which makes it just the kind of high-performance company we want to attract to the state.”
A news release from Kimber noted that the new plant in Alabama will essentially double the manufacturing capacity of the 21-year-old business, which is headquartered in Yonkers and maintains a small facility in Montana.
“We are pleased with the impressive track record that Alabama has with attracting and retaining world-class manufacturing companies,” stated president and CEO Leslie Edelman. “Growing our company intelligently depends significantly on being in the right manufacturing environment, and in Troy, we have a community dedicated to our long-term success.”
Do you think New York’s gun control laws played a role in this move by Kimber?
“We will be building a large, automated, state-of-the-art design engineering and manufacturing facility in Troy to support Kimber’s growth plan and strategy,” said chief operating officer Greg Grogan. “Troy offers us expansion with a passionate workforce, affordable utility costs, a pro-business environment, experienced local training support, and long-term incentives from the State of Alabama and the City of Troy alike.”
“This expansion, in conjunction with our existing manufacturing facilities, talented and experienced employees, and best-in-class products provides for exciting times here at Kimber,” he added.
To be sure, Kimber said nothing in regard to the draconian gun control laws they face in New York in its news release, though the National Shooting Sports Foundation had no problem pointing out various aspects of the state’s anti-gun SAFE Act that quite likely played a role in Kimber’s decision to shift the company southward to a more gun-friendly climate.
On the other hand, Bearing Arms noted that Kimber probably didn’t say anything about the gun control laws since they will still retain their original facility in Yonkers, and most likely don’t want to bring too much negative attention to themselves from anti-gun politicians.
If they really wanted to make a statement against New York’s laws that would grab everybody’s attention, they would have uprooted the entire operation and moved it south, though that likely would have left some of their original employees in a bit of a bind.
Regardless of the reasons behind the move, it is excellent news for Alabama, future employees and the firearms industry. It is not so good news for New York, as they are losing out on new jobs and tax revenue that could have been theirs, if not for their proud anti-gun stance.
