He's a "Christian" musician, and said to be part of the MAGA movement.

A Hendersonville musician on tour in Mississippi is being held on $1.5 million bond and faces more than 150 charges of child sexual abuse.

Hendersonville Police said April 13 that Philip W. Vaught was arrested April 10 after a lengthy investigation on charges of continuous sexual abuse of a child, especially aggravated sexual exploitation, statutory rape by an authority figure and sexual exploitation of a minor.
Assistant District Attorney Nathan Nichols confirmed news reports that Vaught was indicted on 160 counts by a Sumner County Grand Jury. He did not provide any additional details on the case.

Police did not say over what period of time the abuse took place or in what way Vaught was in a position of authority over the victim.

We are now in the future. But one without me having my own personal jet pack, so I'm not a fan.

A Florida couple who accused a fertility clinic of implanting the woman with the wrong embryo has found the biological parents of their daughter, according to their lawyers.

Tiffany Score and Steven Mills filed a lawsuit in Orange County Circuit Court on Jan. 22 against IVF Life, Inc., located in the Orlando area under the Fertility Center of Orlando, and the lead reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Milton McNichol, after learning their daughter, Shea, was not genetically related to either of them.
According to the lawsuit, an embryo was implanted into Score in March 2025, and she gave birth to a “beautiful, healthy female child” in December, but when their daughter appeared to be “racially non-Caucasian,” they ordered genetic testing to see if the baby was theirs.
There's one good thing out of this.
“This ends one chapter in our heartbreaking journey, but it raises new issues that will have to be resolved,” the couple said in a statement issued through their lawyer. “Only one thing is as absolutely certain today as it was on the day our daughter was born — we will love and will be this child’s parents forever.”

The politics of terror Evernote link because FT £wall

Twenty years ago, with fear of terrorism peaking, the security buzzword was “radicalisation”. There were constant stories of confused young people going online, entering echo chambers in which everyone supported violence, and emerging as terrorists. Intelligence services began devoting their time to finding those who had been radicalised. Gradually, the concept became so well known that it was repurposed for other uses, as in: “Fox News radicalised my grandpa”.
We’re now realising that “radicalisation” can also apply to world leaders. This should long have been obvious. “One could describe the entire 20th century as the history of the rise and fall of state extremism,” write Beatrice de Graaf and Niels Drost in their new Dutch book about Vladimir Putin, Poetins tsaristische droom (“Putin’s tsarist dream”). Putin, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are recent case studies of radicalisation towards violence. Individual radicalisations drive history in our current era when the typical major power is ruled by one old man who can radicalise his own followers. Probably nobody since Stalin has wielded as much military force single-handedly as Putin and Trump do today.

We've reached the point where anyone who is overtly boisterous of their Christian faith is immediately suspect.

Last Wednesday, Thank You Jesus Yard Sign founder Lucas Timothy Hunt pleaded guilty to a felony charge of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor in Randolph County, N.C.

Hunt agreed to enter a plea deal and is sentenced to 36 months of supervised probation. He is now required to register as a sex offender and provide a sample of his DNA to law enforcement.
Hunt was arrested in February 2025 on charges of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor after a brief investigation by the Invictus Task Force uncovered a pornographic video of two children in his possession after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Not trans:


Last year, an NBC News investigation found that leaders in the Assemblies of God, the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination, were warned again and again about Savala’s history but failed to cut off his access to students in Texas — even after a 2012 child sex abuse conviction in Alaska. Instead, he remained a revered spiritual figure among pastors in Chi Alpha, who called him “Papa Daniel” and “the holiest man alive” and sent scores of students to his Houston home for guidance.

Savala’s devotees included a pastor from Waco who brought his own sons, ages 11 and 12 at the time, to Savala’s home beginning in 2021. According to court records, the boys were instructed to undress in the sauna, where Savala sexually abused them while their father was present — the conduct at the center of the charges Savala pleaded guilty to Thursday. The criminal case against the boys’ father is pending.
Man, the hits just keep coming.
