Yesterday, the White House Deputy Press Secretary shared the first image, claiming it came from the Epstein files and implying the redacted individuals were victims or minors connected to Jeffrey Epstein.The second image shows the full, publicly available photograph. It was taken on December 19, 2003, at a Democratic fundraiser in Washington, D.C. The children whose faces were blacked out are Michael Jackson’s children, Paris and Prince Jackson, and Diana Ross’s son, Evan Ross. They were not Epstein victims, nor were they connected to Epstein in any way.This post came the same day the Department of Justice failed to comply with the law requiring the full release of the Epstein files. By most estimates, only about 10 percent has been released so far, and roughly half of that information was already publicly available.What do you think about the Press Secretary’s actions and the use of this image in that context? ...

🚨 Former Cheer Coach Convicted of 23 Felonies for Molesting Young Girls 🚨A former cheerleading coach has been convicted of 23 felony counts for sexually abusing at least 10 girls, some as young as 9 years old, in a case that spans multiple years, organizations, and states.According to prosecutors, Erick Joseph Kristianson, 46, abused children while working as a coach and camp counselor in the early 2000s. The crimes occurred while he was affiliated with a competitive cheer club, a high school program, and a YMCA camp. Additional victims later came forward after his arrest in Florida.Kristianson was convicted of multiple serious charges, including lewd acts on minors and sexual penetration with a foreign object. He now faces a potential sentence of up to 165 years to life in prison, plus additional prison time. Sentencing is scheduled for March 19, 2026.The case resurfaced years later after Kristianson was arrested in Daytona Beach, Florida, where he was accused of sexually explicit acts involving children. That arrest prompted more victims to report abuse they say occurred when they were minors but went unreported for years due to fear and shame.This case is another reminder of the long-lasting harm caused by abuse and the importance of survivors being heard, even decades later.If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, help is available. You are not alone. ... See MoreSee Less

In April 2024, a Royal Palm Beach, Florida resident hired Lawrence Hawkins to complete a home renovation. Hawkins presented himself as a licensed contractor and provided paperwork to verify his credentials. A bid and completion date were agreed upon, payment was made, and Hawkins began the renovation. After several months, the work remained incomplete and was determined to be substandard. The victim subsequently retained an attorney to address the matter, at which time it was discovered that Hawkins was not a licensed contractor in the State of Florida. A report was filed with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office in July 2025. Following an extensive investigation, detectives obtained a warrant on October 27, 2025, charging Hawkins with unlicensed contracting. On December 16, 2025, Hawkins was arrested for fraudulently impersonating a contractor. ... See MoreSee Less
