In LA – It Is Not Just Anti-Trumpism
In recent weeks a picture is emerging out of Southern California that is actually quite disturbing. I have assumed that all the anti-ICE, open borders nonsense was simply reactionary – that it was born of simply doing the opposite of what Trump wanted because “Orange Man Bad.” I am not so sure anymore.
The post In LA – It Is Not Just Anti-Trumpism appeared first on The Hugh Hewitt Show.
‘The lineup f**king sucks’: Most negative baseball fans in the USA revealed — where does your team rank?
Some fans have a particular reason to heckle, while some do it for the love of the game.
In a study of over 1 million fan comments, the most negative and foul-mouthed MLB fanbases have been tabulated, inversely revealing who is most polite.
The least negative fans, and therefore the most positive fans, may surprise readers.
Judging a book by its cover often doesn’t work, and in this case, it doesn’t work for Aaron Judge’s New York Yankees either. Many baseball fans would assume the Bronx Bomber fanbase to be the most foul-mouthed, but they actually came in fourth in terms of comments containing swear words in an analysis of every team’s fan page on social media site Reddit.
Additionally, Vegas Insider’s research shows that Yankees fans are only the third-most negative in their comments overall.
Negative Nancys
The negativity award actually goes to the home of the Green Monster, with Boston Red Sox fans having the highest percentage of negative comments from their page at 27.6%.
In fact, at the time of this writing, the top thread on the Redsox Reddit page was titled “The F**kin Lineup,” which brought comments like “The lineup f**king sucks and we can only win when the starting pitchers go deep.”
Second on that list are Athletics fans, who are understandably angry given that their team has left Oakland, resides in Sacramento, and will soon move to Las Vegas.
Athletics fans’ remarks also contained the highest frequency of curse words, with over 6% of their comments containing swears, “f**k” being the most popular. Red Sox fans were runners-up on that list.

Who’s positive?
The least negative fans, and therefore the most positive fans, may surprise readers, as Toronto Blue Jays commenters from the typically polite country of Canada are nowhere near the top.
In fact, Jays fans were 20th in terms of positive comments and were 13th in least negative comments. The distinct honor of most positive fanbase actually went to the home of the Rocky Mountains.
“The Colorado Rockies turned out to be the most positive fandom since 46.45% of their comments had a positive sentiment, followed by the St. Louis Cardinals and the Washington Nationals,” a Vegas Insider spokesman told Fearless.

The least frequent negative comments came from the Gateway to the West, though, where St. Louis Cardinals supporters were the only fanbase with less than 20% negative comments.
Yankees fans should not worry though. They still top some of the negativity lists in terms of sheer volume, posting the most comments that contained swear words — five out of every 100 did — and the most negative comments in total.
While this is likely due to the team’s immense fanbase, it is still an accolade to be cherished.

Elderly woman found beaten to death with a hammer after husband talked about suicide pact, police say
Neighbors of an elderly couple in Florida were stunned to find out the wife had been beaten to death with a hammer and her husband had been arrested for the grisly crime.
The Groveland Police Department said officers were called to a residence on Way Point Drive in Lake County on Sunday at about 9 p.m. for a wellness check.
‘Police found that DiFraia made comments about a suicide pact involving pills about a month before the gruesome incident.’
When they entered the home, they found 82-year-old Vincent DiFraia sitting in his living room with a vacant look on his face and bleeding from injuries they determined to be self-inflicted.
He was transported to Orlando Health South Lake Hospital for treatment.
When officers searched the rest of the house, they found his 84-year-old wife covered in blood while lying in bed. A hammer was found next to her, while the walls and ceiling of the bedroom were also splattered with blood, police said.
They also reported finding dried blood on the floor leading to the bathroom and in the bathroom sink.
Police said the woman had a “large impact wound” on the side of her head and had likely died 24 hours before she was found.
They found other bloody items as well.
During their investigation, police found that DiFraia made comments about a suicide pact involving pills about a month before the gruesome incident.
Police believe DiFraia killed his wife with the hammer and later cut his wrists with a knife before police entered the home.
DiFraia is being held at the Lake County jail on a charge of first-degree murder.
Neighbors told WESH-TV that the couple was a nice couple.
“We all still kind of just battling with it, and for the victim too, you know, she was a really nice lady as well,” said one neighbor, who was not identified.
“For the most part, it’s a quiet neighborhood; everybody get along,” he added. “There’s a lot of elderly people that live here, and most of the homeowners have been here since day one. And yeah, this is just sad and unfortunate.”
His wife was identified as Evelyn DiFraia in the grand jury indictment of her husband.

Teen faces horrific rape and murder charges after 2-year-old foster child dies with suspicious injuries
The horrifying death of a 2-year-old boy in foster care is leading to intense scrutiny of local social workers in California.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release that the unidentified suspect was 17 years old at the time of the alleged murder of his foster brother, known as “Baby Jaxon.”
‘Jaxon will never have any way to tell his own story. My office will speak for him and all the lost children as we seek justice.’
Officers of the San Jose Police Department Patrol responded to a report of an unresponsive child at a residence on Otono Court on April 5.
Police found the 2-year-old unresponsive in his crib and immediately transported him to a local hospital in critical condition. When Jaxon was placed on life support, medical personnel reported that the child had suspicious injuries.
After an investigation, detectives said they found evidence that the boy’s foster brother had abused and sexually assaulted the child and placed him under arrest.
On April 9, Jaxon died of his injuries, and police began the investigation as a homicide.
Detectives said they discovered that the child had been placed into the foster care of a 40-year-old caregiver with a criminal history in February. She was arrested and booked but was later released.
The district attorney’s office said it was seeking to charge the murder suspect as an adult.
In addition to numerous counts of sexual abuse and murder, the suspect was also charged with child assault causing death and assault with a hair tie.
The child’s maternal aunt said the child was born premature and likely suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome as well as autism. She also claimed to have raised concerns about the foster family in February.
“Jaxon will never have a chance at life,” a statement from District Attorney Jeff Rosen reads. “Jaxon will never have any way to tell his own story. My office will speak for him and all the lost children as we seek justice.”
Critics are now demanding to know how the child was placed in a situation where he died only two months later. Jaxon reportedly was placed into foster care after his mother died and his father was unable to care for him, according to friends.
A union representing social workers of the Santa Clara County Department of Family and Children’s Services confirmed that seven workers had been placed on administrative leave after the incident.
“This is a terrible and horrific case,” Rosen added.

Glenn Beck’s mind blown: What if aliens are really disembodied Nephilim?
As UFOs, aliens, and disclosure become increasingly popular topics of discussion, a theory is gaining traction among certain Christian circles: that aliens do not exist, and any contact with one is actually an encounter with a demon masquerading as an extraterrestrial.
Glenn Beck has mixed feelings about this theory. While he rejects the notion that any being that comes from another planet is not part of God’s design and is evil, he also believes that many alien and UFO encounters have demonic explanations.
To dive into this subject, Glenn invites Faithwire journalist and supernatural podcast host Billy Hallowell to “The Glenn Beck Program” for a fascinating conversation about several possible explanations.
Hallowell explains that the general consensus, “even among a lot of scientists,” is that “people are seeing something” that is very real. The crux of the alien debate today lies more in what people are seeing: beings from outer space or beings from a spiritual dimension.
The theory that they’re all spiritual beings isn’t without merit, he explains. The Bible “doesn’t just say there’s Satan and demons. It talks about principalities and powers, and there’s some mystery here in what is going on,” he tells Glenn.
Further, it’s plausible to believe that demons can take an alien form when you consider that throughout Scripture, angels “show up in different forms.”
However, the debate gets even more complicated in that not everybody agrees on what demons are.
“Now, the common belief is that demons are fallen angels. … The other theory is that demons are actually the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim,” Hallowell says.
The latter theory, he explains, draws from both Scripture and the book of Enoch and posits that the Nephilim (the giant offspring of human women and fallen angels) whose physical bodies were wiped in the flood went “looking for bodies, and that’s what demons are.”
Glenn is fascinated by this idea. “You’re saying that they didn’t go away, that this might be the explanation for what we’re seeing?” he asks.
Hallowell notes that according to the theories discussed, these entities — whether fallen angels or disembodied Nephilim spirits — can physically manifest, and some believe this explains why people report encountering beings that look like aliens.
This idea, he says, then leads to another question: “Why would they do that? Is there a deception here?”
Glenn isn’t sure what to believe about aliens, but he is certain that where demons are at work, deception is sure to be at play.
“The whole point of the dark side is deception,” he says.
