PJ Media cameras recorded a press conference on Tuesday in St. Louis Missouri in front of the 21st Judicial Circuit Court, where parents spoke out about what they call an egregious abuse of power in the family courts, and especially the guardian ad litem (GAL) program. Three former child victims also came forward to talk about the abuse they suffered at the hands of molesters, abusers, and court guardians. PJM has reported on this developing scandal doggedly over the last few months. The St. Louis press, on the other hand, has erected a wall of silence around this story, and though every one of the city’s major channels was in attendance at the event, not a single local channel aired one bit of the footage. Instead of reporting on local parents and children who say the judiciary and guardians ad litem are conspiring to place children in danger with abusers for money, KMOV and KPLR ran stories about a dog pulling another dog out of a swimming pool, pothole

The divorce industry has a lot of experts. Some of them are convinced there’s an epidemic of “parental alienation syndrome” that they say is akin to child abuse and caused by mentally-ill parents. Others say there’s no such thing and that it’s a bogus diagnosis meant to muddy the waters and allow greedy and corrupt court actors to place children in danger for money.
Meanwhile, father’s rights groups are fighting for shared parenting laws known as “presumed 50/50,” sparking another flaming-hot controversy. Domestic abuse victims say that shared parenting forces abuse victims to continue being abused. Who is right? Can anything be done to bridge the gap and help the children who are suffering from what looks like a breakdown of the entire system set up to help them?
As more and more Americans identify themselves as independents, and reject the two major party labels, the choices for third parties here in New York have been cut in half, from 8 political parties to 4. The reason? A political war between Governor Andrew Cuomo and actress Cynthia Nixon dating back to 2018 that resulted in the ‘cancellation’ of my political party earlier this year (2021).
My last vote for a major party Presidential candidate was in 2008, when I vote for John McCain. Since then I have voted third party, and had hoped that someone with the financial resources and gravitas would step forward and run as an Independent for President. I’m still waiting.
A St. Louis, Mo., family court judge, Nicole Zellweger, has launched an all-out judicial assault on Angela Freiner and her minor daughter, who are refusing her order to make the 14-year-old girl return to the man who she says sexually molested her. The minor at the center of the controversy recorded a hearing on her smartphone, which got into the hands of investigative journalist Michael Volpe, who posted it on YouTube. In the video, the minor child begs the judge not to send her to live with the man she says is a child molester.
The audio is hard to hear, but it’s very plain that the minor child is in distress and begging the adults around her to take her concerns seriously. In return, Zellweger tried to coerce the daughter to comply, threatening to jail her mother for contempt. In the recording above, Zellweger can be heard telling the minor child that Freiner’s freedom is at stake if the child doesn’t cooperate. “She has free will but her free will can end up putting her

And Lucky can help his Spiders teammates Eli DeCubellis, Sam Cochran and Jackson Moon claim gold in the 200 freestyle relay.
Yet when he was asked about the upcoming championships, Lucky spoke in measured, calm tones. He talk much about winning; instead, he talked about simply doing his best, having fun, and lifting his schoolâs swimming profile.
