Desantis Admin Investigates Leftists who Terrorized Christian Family with Fake Abuse Accusations
(LifeSiteNews) — Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is intervening in the case of a Christian military couple who fell victim to an internet harassment campaign that led to false child abuse charges being filed against them.
The Family Freedom Project (FFP) explains that JD and Britney Lott met while serving in the military, and after marrying settled in Lubbock, Texas. Eventually they and their eight children took to traveling the nation, chronicling their travels on Instagram while homeschooling.
Their American Family Road Trip account grew in popularity, but with support also came anonymous online detractors, especially from a Reddit discussion forum called FundieSnarkUncensored, which is dedicated to vitriol against conservative Christians.
On April 29 of this year, while staying in Florida and planning to travel to Georgia, they noticed disturbing comments alleging their one-week-old baby Boone had “severe sunburn, was lethargic, and had jaundice.” After deleting the comment, they proceeded with their trip the next morning until receiving a call from Florida Child Protective Services (CPS).
Reviewing FundieSnarkUncensored revealed that members of the group openly discussed how to report the family to authorities, and even determined their physical location to determine where to send the allegations.
The CPS caseworker “quoted verbatim from the Instagram comment Britney had seen earlier,” explaining that they had obtained her phone number after conducting a welfare check where the family’s RV had been. “The investigator seemed understanding during the call, which ended without further action required,” FFP continues, but later that day, JD had missed a call from Walton County, Florida’s Department of Children & Families (DCF), which was followed up with a text warning threatening to issue a nationwide “Order to Take Into Custody” if the message was not returned.
They reached out to the Texas-based FFP, which found an attorney for them in Florida and arranged a meeting with DCF at a nearby hospital. It eventually determined that the children were not being mistreated, but not before frightening the children with a squad car pulling up behind them, lights flashing. The case was closed with no further danger to the family, but far-left Redditors continued their harassment and police and medical staff alike expressed shock that the situation had gone so far in the first place.
On Thursday, DeSantis spokesman Bryan Griffin told The Daily Wire that “[u]tilizing government entities to make false reports or harass others is unacceptable and will be referred to law enforcement for investigation and ultimately prosecution.”
Florida DCF added that while it is “required to investigate all allegations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment to ensure the safety of children,” it is also the case that “[f]alse reports are reported to law enforcement for criminal investigation and prosecution. Filing a false report is a felony with legal consequences, as outlined in 39.205, F.S., and is also a drain on Department resources dedicated to protecting children from abuse and exploitation.” The agency confirmed that law enforcement is now investigating the false allegations.
In an emailed statement “applauding” the DeSantis administration, FFP vice president Jeremy Newman declared the “time for accountability and reform to Child Protective Services in the United States is long overdue. The Lott family story is just the latest example of a long line of outrageous and unjust cases across the country where a states’ child protective services agency has been weaponized and turned against an innocent and unassuming family.”

UK PM Keir Starmer Uses Riots to Call for Mass Surveillance and Social Media Censorship
The more things change, the more they remain the same, at least in the UK; after many years of Tory governments’ vigorous efforts to extend mass surveillance indiscriminately targeting citizens and enact stringent anti-free speech laws, the new Labour government seems to be picking up right where the previous one left off.
The wake of the Southport riots has elicited the usual medley of reactions: moves to address societal issues with more surveillance, strengthen the police state, blame “misinformation” and unproven, but always handy to bring up, “foreign meddling.”
But the real malady seems to be squarely at home: in fact, in the prime minister’s office. Keir Starmer happens to be sitting there now, but the policy hardly ever changes: he, too, wants more mass surveillance based on facial recognition, and more pressure on social media to ramp up censorship.
If anything does change it is the intensity of these demands that have long since been rejected as “Orwellian” by rights groups like Big Brother Watch.
Here, Starmer told a news conference called after the events branded as far-right riots, that participants in the protests (whom he called “thugs” and compared with football hooligans) are “mobile” and for that reason, police forces will, going forward, be a part of a network of sorts.
The prime minister added that there will be intelligence and data sharing, as well as “wider deployment of facial recognition technology, and preventative action, criminal behavior orders to restrict their movements before they can even board a train, in just the same way that we do with football hooligans.”
Movement restrictions are said to apply only to those with previous convictions, and those who have committed “violence at protests.” But here things get complicated because even those who were charged with relatively minor offenses like disorderly conduct could end up having their movements surveilled and restricted.
Starmer isn’t in favor of enacting new laws; he seems satisfied that all this can be achieved within the existing legislation and announced a “coordinated response” within the police across the country and law enforcement taking advantage of those laws more than before. But he does want more police officers, and it seems that increasing their numbers will be one election campaign promise that will be kept.
Starmer is announcing these measures as a way to deal not with protests – he insists this is about “violent disorder.” And, he blames online platforms for being the places where that is being “whipped up.”
Meaning, that when the authorities decide some online speech can be considered as incitement to violence, that is, in Starmer’s words, “not a matter of free speech. It is a criminal offense.”
But what will the authorities consider incitement to violence? This is particularly important since a number of lawmakers – such as Labour MP Patrick Hurley, Former MI6 chief Richard Dearlove, and former Security Minister Stephen McPartland – blamed “misinformation” and “disinformation” as well as “speculation” regarding the identity of the Southport stabbing attacker.
Therefore if speculation can be considered misinformation, and misinformation incitement to violence – this opens the door wide to censor views expressed online that basically ask questions about something – i.e., “speculate”.
Regarding online platforms, the prime minister suggested that his approach to the police during a meeting that preceded the news conference (namely, “get the relevant people around the table, and fix the problems and meet the challenges that we have as a country”) will apply to internet platforms as well.
It remains to be seen what “work(ing) together to address the challenges” will look like once Starmer gets online platforms and government representatives at the same table.
Meanwhile, the idea of ushering in even more facial recognition-based mass surveillance is seen as terrible by groups like Big Brother Watch, who have campaigned for years against this type of policing.
The group’s director, Silkie Carlo, said in a statement that the pledge regarding facial recognition as response to public disorder was “alarming.”
According to her, democracy is threatened, not protected with this approach, while the type of mass surveillance pushed by Starmer (and previous governments) “turns members of the public into walking ID cards.”
Carlo made a point of the live facial recognition technology being “dangerously inaccurate,” “common” in Russia and China, supported by no clear legal basis in the UK, and, banned elsewhere in Europe
In her opinion, Starmer did not address the causes of the Southport attack (when three girls were murdered), or the reasons for what Carlo calls “violent, racist thuggery” that followed.
Instead, the prime minister promised more AI surveillance. And that, according to Carlo, is “tone deaf in these circumstances.”
“(It) will give the public absolutely no confidence that this government has the competence or conviction to get tough on the causes of these crimes and protect the public,” she concluded.

Justice Gorsuch Warns Democrats about Supreme Court Reform
Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch warned the Biden administration and Democrats to be careful over plans to reform the Supreme Court.
Gorsuch voiced his feelings on political changes to the Supreme Court in an interview on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream. The Supreme Court Justice, one of three Trump appointments, said that the Court serves as the last court of appeal for Americans and matters most of all when “the government’s coming after you.”
Gorsuch said he didn’t think it “would be helpful” to comment on specific proposals by the Biden administration, but instead chose to emphasis the vital role of an independent judiciary in American society.
“[An independent judiciary] means that when you’re unpopular, you can get a fair hearing,” he said.
“If you’re in the majority, you don’t need judges and juries to hear you, to protect your rights, if you’re popular. It’s there for the moment when the spotlight’s on you – when the government’s coming after you. And don’t you want a ferociously independent judge and jury of your peers to make those decisions?”
Justice Neil Gorsuch on proposed reforms for the Supreme Court:
“I just say, be careful.”

The Supreme Court, with its conservative majority, has been a target of Democrats for some time, especially since the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and, more recently, the decision to uphold the notion of presidential immunity with regard to the 6 January case against former president Donald Trump.
Last Monday, the Biden administration announced a raft of measures targeted specifically at the Supreme Court, including term limits and an enforceable code of ethics. Introducing term limits would require a Constitutional amendment.
The Biden administration also wants to challenge presidential immunity.
“This decision today has continued the court’s attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman’s right to choose, to today’s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation,” Biden said in response to that decision, made at the beginning of last month.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has also vowed to make Supreme Court reform a priority of the next Democrat administration if Kamala Harris wins in November.
“It’s a very big priority,” said Schumer this week in an interview with NBC.
“I feel very strongly for the sake of the republic we need reform in the courts.”
Schumer claimed Republicans have devised a “brilliant but destructive” way of getting the courts to pursue a “hard right” agenda without the support of voters.
“They spent three decades trying to take over the courts,” he said.
“They’ve achieved it.”

‘Entire Resistance Axis’ to Retaliate Against Israel for Assassinating Top Hamas Leader
Israel’s assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader responsible for peace negotiations in Gaza, has triggered Iran into threatening a full-scale response from the “entire Resistance Axis.”
After condemning the July 31 killing of Haniyeh, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spewed a mouthful at Israel, calling it a “criminal, murderous, and terrorist Zionist gang” that “disregard[s] international rules and regulations (and) spares no criminal action to cover up its humiliating defeats in the nine-month war in Gaza.”
Israel’s actions, the IRGC continued in a statement, have “resulted in the massacre of tens of thousands of Palestinian women, men, and children.”
The threatening part of the IRGC’s statement came next as Iran promised to meet “this crime by the Zionist regime … with a severe and painful response from the powerful and grand Resistance Axis, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
The IRGC also said that “the Martyr of Jerusalem” will bless Haniyeh’s efforts “in defending the cause and rights of the Palestinian nation.”
Following Haniyeh’s death, Tehran announced a three-day period of mourning.
(Related: Iran continues to warn Israel that if it does not back off, a larger attack will come when they least expect it.)
Tensions between Israel and Iran reach breaking point
Haniyeh’s death occurred just a few hours after Israel conducted an airstrike on a residential building in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon’s capital city. That attack in and of itself triggered a serious escalation that only worsened after Haniyeh was targeted as well.
The residential building attack resulted in three civilians, a woman and two children, dying. Another 70 people were injured. The target in that attack was Fuad Shukr, a top military advisor to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and director of Hezbollah’s military operations.
Shukr’s body was later found under the rubble, he being the orchestrator of the 1983 bombing of a U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut.
A regional flare-up is now likely a given as tensions between Israel and Iran – and Iran’s proxies – reaches a boiling point. Both sides are hellbent on eradicating the other, and Israel is reportedly now opening up bomb shelters in Tel Aviv and Galilee.
“We don’t want war but we are preparing for all possibilities,” said Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant the day of Haniyeh’s death.
As for the situation with Lebanon, IDF (Israel Defense Forces) chief of staff Herzi Halevi claims that his country’s military has maneuvering capabilities that will allow it to prevail in that fight.
“The IDF knows how to operate and reach a certain window in a neighborhood in Beirut; it also knows how to attack at a certain point in the underground, and we also know how to maneuver inside very strongly,” Halevi said.
“We have confidence in our plans to move forward because our intention with Hezbollah is not to return to October 6.”
In the comments, someone suggested that had Israel not successfully assassinated both Haniyeh and Shukr, it likely would have been met with “a barrage of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIC) missiles from Gaza.”
“There have been no reports of any such missiles, which means that the IDF is achieving its objectives there,” this person said.
Another wrote that Halevi and other Israeli leaders still need to be held accountable for allowing the October 7 attack to happen in the first place.
“We have to fix the issues,” he said.
One of our own wrote that he feels as though much of the fighting in the Middle East is just theater aimed at destabilizing the world as part of the chaos theory agenda.
