Billionaire Stephen Deckoff spent $60 million to buy Jeffrey Epstein’s two Caribbean islands, which were the the so-called headquarters of the convicted pedophile’s international sex trafficking ring.
The 57-year old co-founder of private equity firm Black Diamond Capital Management has plans to turn the infamous islets — with the smaller of the two dubbed “Pedophile Island” or “Epstein Island” — into a 25-room luxury resort that’s slated for a 2025 opening. (snip) A significant portion of the sale proceeds will go towards the $105 million sex trafficking case against Epstein’s estate settled by the US Virgin Island’s government, AP reported.

A religious liberty nonprofit is threatening the federal government with a legal battle after a Catholic hospital in Oklahoma was offered the choice of either extinguishing a sacred candle in its chapel or being stripped of its federal funding. (snip) The hospital entreated the agency in vain four times for a waiver regarding the candle, according to the Becket Fund, which noted that similar flames in the building such as pilot lights and those in gas stove heaters did not prove to be a problem.
"The government’s demand is absurd and unlawful — it is targeting Saint Francis’s sincere beliefs without any good reason,"

The largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. continued its downward trend as it hemorrhaged more than 100 churches and 53,000 members while losing 285 ministers last year, according to statistics released this week. The liberal Presbyterian Church (USA) (PCUSA) went from approximately 1.193 million members to approximately 1.14 million members over the past year (snip)
Conservative Presbyterians who spoke to Fox News Digital last fall laid partial blame for the mainline denomination's decline on what they described as a departure from its historical biblical teachings.

The ‘daughter’ of U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA), who identifies as ‘nonbinary,’ has been sentenced to 30 hours of community service and will be required to write an apology letter to the police officer she assaulted during an anti-cop protest in Boston earlier this year.
Jared “Riley” Dowell, who is a biological male, has been given a one-year probation and no jail time for taking part in an Antifa rally on the Boston Common in January. Dowell, 23, spray painted “Stop Cop City” and “ACAB”, an acronym for “all cops are bastards,” on a concrete bandstand and fought officers who placed her under arrest.

“She’s a [expletive] professor”! Those four words screamed by pro-choice protesters could well sum up the issue for the State University of New York at Albany after the arrest of sociology professor Renee Overdyke. At a recent pro-life demonstration, Overdyke unplugged an electric display to prevent students from expressing their opposition to abortion. She then resisted arrest. The question, which we have previously discussed, is where the university should draw the line in the conduct of faculty in preventing free speech.

A student group at the University of Wisconsin Madison called Badger Catholic recently received backlash for hosting an event focused on the intersection of homosexuality and faith.
The April 13 event, “Homosexuality and Life With Christ,” featured Kim Zember, author of the 2020 memoir “Restless Heart: My Struggle with Life & Sexuality,” which explains her struggle with her faith and homosexuality.
“Zember, a California girl born and raised Catholic, found that no matter how much she pursued relationships with women, she was never at peace,” according to the Catholic News Agency.

A Democratic megadonor who is helping bankroll a rape and defamation lawsuit against former president Donald Trump visited the private Caribbean island of Jeffrey Epstein years after Epstein registered as a sex offender for soliciting underage girls.
LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman visited Epstein’s compound in the Virgin Islands in 2014, known as "Pedophile Island" because he allegedly housed young girls there. Hoffman may have also stayed overnight at Epstein’s New York City residence in December 2014, according to the Wall Street Journal. (snip) Hoffman is one of the Democratic party’s largest donors.

The Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has told a Catholic hospital in Oklahoma to put out a sanctuary candle light, a command they say violates their religious beliefs.
The federal government told Saint Francis Health System’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel Michael J. Lissau that the sanctuary candle on their premises was in violation of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’s (CMS) fire safety requirements, the hospital says. The government says that the hospital will no longer be able to accept Medicare and Medicaid funds as long as the flame remains in the chapel.

In February there was a tragic story out of St. Louis. (snip) 21-year-old Daniel Riley came speeding through town. Riley flipped the car and crushed Janae Edmondson’s legs. She survived but both of her legs had to be amputated.
At the time of the crash, driver Daniel Riley was out on bond for a robbery that took place in 2020 but he still hadn’t been tried. The really unbelievable part was that Riley had remained out on bond even though he’d violated the terms more than 50 times. The prosecutor’s office in this case was run by Kim Gardner. (snip) But the first explanation offered turned out to be false.

Elon Musk has suggested that he might reassign National Public Radio’s Twitter account to "another company."
According to the outlet, Musk “in a series of emails” sent to one of its reporters the Twitter CEO “suggested” he would transfer the network's @NPR handle, to another person or organization writing, "So is NPR going to start posting on Twitter again, or should we reassign @NPR to another company?" (snip)
Musk wrote in another email, "Our policy is to recycle handles that are definitively dormant. Same policy applies to all accounts. No special treatment for NPR," according to the outlet.
