A Byron woman wants answers on why a Peach County deputy apparently shot and killed her five pet pigs.

Cheyenne Fagre says it happened last week near her home on Edgewater Drive. She says a neighbor called the sheriff's office after her five small pigs - Chewy, Petunia, Rusty, Wesley and Yoda -- got loose.

Fagre says the pigs were loose for less than an hour and the neighbor only wanted them rounded up, not killed.

"It was around 8 a.m., we instantly ran out there and started searching in the woods and everywhere around their cage. It was about an hour we were looking back there and then we started driving the neighborhood and asking people outside and no one had seen them," she said.

Police are investigating whether a paedophile killed weeks after his release from prison was gunned down by hitmen hired by the father of his victims.

Giuseppe Matarazzo spent 11 years and six months behind bars after being convicted of sexually abusing two sisters while he was working as a priest in Italy.

One of the victims later hanged herself from a tree aged 15 in 2008, according to local media.

Comment: An ever-growing number of people are taking justice into their own hands when it comes to the scourge of pedophiles:

Generation Z, the generation coming up after Millennials, are proving that they're going to be the next great generation in terms of not being an ungrateful waste of space.

A report from Vice last year pointed out that Gen Z, which consists of those born between the mid-'90s through the early 2000s are attempting to avoid the mistakes of millennials, and focus on getting jobs that pay well without acquiring useless degrees and crushing debt:
For decades, technical and vocational schools have been falling out of favor, as more and more people opt for getting advanced degrees at four-year colleges. But recently, with the job market over-promising and underpaying, the trend has begun to reverse: States have started to reinvest in trade schools. And the generation inheriting volatile job prospects, a gig economy, and contract pay is following suit.

Generation Z-those who were born between the mid-1990s and early 2000s - are more often turning to trade schools to avoid the skyrocketing student debt crisis and hone skills that translate directly into jobs, from electrical engineering to cosmetology. While the power of trade unions has dwindled, and societal value still favors more elite professions, young students are finding themselves drawn to stable paychecks in fields where there's an obvious need.

A prominent New Jersey college is offering its students the chance to learn about "non-human perspectives" on LGBT issues, while also exploring "the third sex," and "the political underpinnings and the transgressive nature of 'queer.'"

Montclair State University, rated New Jersey's best public university by Forbes, offers the course "Queer Identities in a Transforming World: The Trouble with Normal" as part of its "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer Studies" (GLQS) program for 2019.

According to the attentive folks at The College Fix, the course will be taught by Caroline Dadas, whose specializations include "queer online rhetorics" and whose primary research agenda involves "studying the intersections of civic participation-particularly by queer-identified individuals - and digital environments."

Comment: This course and the others in the GLQS program are little more than an expensive indoctrination into the nihilistic, postmodern, social constructionist worldview that is not only wrong but destructive and anti-human:

SOTT Focus: The New War on Comedy, and Free Speech, by the Intolerant Left

Comedy has had a well-understood purpose: to entertain, to push boundaries and to keep us honest. Historically, the court jester was the one person allowed to publicly mock the all-powerful king perched upon the golden throne. It is for this reason that when a storyteller wants to illustrate a ruler's descent into madness, we see him begin to turn his ire towards the lowly jester:

It is worrying then that the ever more powerful social media guns of the Social Justice Left are being aimed squarely at comedians. In December, American comedian Nimesh Patel was pulled off stage by students for doing woke (and funny) jokes about race. A few days later, I made headlines when I refused to sign a "behavioral agreement" to perform at a student comedy gig which insisted that I not joke about religion, atheism and 10 other "isms," as well as demanding that my jokes be "respectful and kind."

Given the public ridicule of the students and widespread support for the comedians in these cases, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the social justice ideologues would use the holiday season to reflect and reconsider. Think again.

A majority want President Trump to declassify documents pertaining to the Russia investigations, according to a new The Hill-HarrisX poll.

Fifty-nine percent of registered voters contacted for the survey said they want Trump to declassify the documents, with 14 percent saying they want the information kept secret and 27 percent not sure.

"Generally speaking, I think Americans view transparency as a good thing, so it's not surprising to me that most Americans want the documents to be declassified," Mallory Newall, research director at the Ipsos Public Affairs polling company, said during Monday's broadcast of Hill.TV's "What America's Thinking."

"Americans approve of [Mueller's] investigation, they want a full and fair investigation and are in favor of transparency at all points throughout," Newall continued.

La Terreur redux? French state arrests two Yellow Vest 'leaders' for 'unauthorized protest'

Shouts of "dictatorship" were heard as one of the leaders of France's anti-government Yellow Vest movement was arrested in Paris late on Wednesday, after authorities charged him with organizing and leading an unauthorized protest.


Comment: We're waiting for the Anglo press to condemn this action as anti-democratic and signs of Macron's authoritarianism. That's what they do whenever Russia does the same thing (for example, arresting Navalny for unauthorized protests), after all.


Eric Drouet was detained by police as some of the movement's supporters gathered in the capital's Place de la Concorde, near the iconic Arc de Triomphe monument. People left candles in remembrance of the movement's wounded in clashes with police.

Drouet was detained while reportedly en-route to the memorial. Footage of the arrest shows several French riot police escort him away from the crowds while supporters chant his name while he is being led away.


Comment: Can you smell it yet? The distinct odeur of... malignant authoritarianism.

Comedian Hasan Minhaj has mocked Netflix over its decision to bow to Saudi Arabia's request to censor his show, which slammed the Kingdom and MBS over the war in Yemen and human rights abuses.

"Clearly, the best way to stop people from watching something is to ban it, make it trend online, and then leave it up on YouTube," Minhaj wrote on Twitter.

Netflix removed an episode of 'Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj' in which Minhaj criticized the Kingdom's war in Yemen and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman over the slaughter of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, from its Saudi Arabian service.

If you're a millennial who's addicted to taking selfies, video gaming or consider yourself a class clown, you could be exactly what the British Army is looking for.

For its 2019 recruitment campaign, "Your Army Needs You," the army is seeking recruits from the "snowflake generation."

The army drew inspiration from the World War I-era "Your Country Needs You" poster featuring Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, and recreated a series of videos and posters to attract people between the ages of 16 and 25.

The British Army campaign features posters of soldiers with stereotype labels.The posters feature six soldiers labeled with stereotypes of younger people, before listing a positive value for each that would be welcomed by the army.

Comment: The war propaganda is more subtle and far-reaching than just some "humorous" poster. It is a battle for the future of Britain's children.
War School trailer expose

War School is a film about the battle for the hearts and minds of Britain's children.

Set against the backdrop of Remembrance the controversial and challenging documentary reveals how, faced with unprecedented opposition to its wars, the British government is using a series of new and targeted strategies to promote support for the military. Armed Forces Day, Uniform to Work Day, Camo Day, National Heroes Day - in the streets, on television, on the web, at sports events, in schools, advertising and fashion - the military presence in civilian life is on the march. The public and ever younger children are being groomed to collude in the increasing militarisation of UK society.

Interweaving the powerful and moving testimonies of veterans of Britain's unbroken century of wars with expert commentary, archive and a redolent score, War School's mosaic of sound and imagery evokes the story of the child soldier who becomes a peace campaigner, challenging the myth of Britain's benign role in world affairs and asking if perpetual war is really what we want for future generations?
