Sabal vs ADL  – Stopping Anti-First Amendment Bullies

On December 13, 2024, The Honorable Reed O’Connor, Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, in an 18-page order, dismissed Mr. Sabal’s claims regarding injurious falsehoods, left intact his claims that the ADL defamed him by including him in its “Glossary of Extremism and Hate” and implying that he is a “dangerous, extremist threat, and even a criminal.”

Judge O’Connor also left intact Sabal’s defamation claim regarding the ADL’s “Hate in the Lone Star State” report for similar reasons.

Plaintiff, Mr. John Sabal, a disabled Navy veteran who organizes patriotic festivals and has never been arrested, alleges that the ADL defamed him when it published his name in the ADL Center on Extremism’s “Glossary of Extremism and Hate,” which includes notorious terrorists and mass shooters, and claims as its mission to “monitor, expose and disrupt extremist threats.”

A statement from Warren Norred of Norred Law reads:

Norred Law is honored to represent John Sabal in his defamation suit against the Anti-Defamation League, which ironically has a penchant for defaming anyone with the moniker of “anti-Semite” who doesn’t match their political positions.

This case has been going on for just over a year, and discovery has been completed. We were asked to step in after the ADL sought summary judgment and failed. Judge O’Connor’s order on that motion carefully evaluated Mr. Sabal’s complaint, dismissed his claims regarding injurious falsehoods, left intact his claim that the ADL defamed him by including him in its “Glossary of Extremism and Hate” and implying that he is a “dangerous, extremist threat, and even a criminal.” Judge O’Connor also left intact Sabal’s claim regarding the ADL’s “Hate in the Lone Star State”.

Litigants often try to spin a denial of a motion for summary judgment. Certainly, Mr. Sabal is glad to see his claims remain alive after the full-throated attack on them from the ADL, but no one should see the court’s order and read into it more than what was stated – Mr. Sabal filed a valid complaint and a jury should be the trier of fact next year during trial.

I have been asked why we took this case, and I’m eager to explain. The Anti-Defamation League is a Non-Governmental Organization (“NGO”), one of several which have left their moorings and are nothing more than anti-First Amendment bullies, along with the American Civil Liberties Union, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and Media Matters. All these organizations were, perhaps at one time, honest brokers of information, but now use slash-and-burn name-calling to shut people down, as the ADL attempts to do with its list of alleged “anti-Semitic criminals.”

The left’s war on free speech must be rejected, and cultural critics should be able to offer their opinions without fear of being called heinous names. We mean to help Mr. Sabal in a trial next year and protect him from an ADL that is so perverted in its behavior that it is now practicing behavior that is directly contrary to its name.

In 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported that Sabal, the founder and President of The Patriot Voice, filed a $25M lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) alleging defamation and injurious falsehood.

The ADL listed Sabal in its “Glossary of Extremists” which includes known terrorists Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Dylann Roof, and Brenton Terrant, the Christchurch Shooter

While the organization claims ADL’s goal is to “fight all forms of antisemitism and bias, using innovation and partnerships to drive impact,” it has increasingly been accused of partisanship smears against targets on the political right.

The Patriot Voice hosts events county that brings together dynamic speakers and grassroots activists who love God and this country with a stated goal to “ensure that all who attend will leave the events with new hope for this country and its future, and with a new vigor and passion to go home and get involved in their respective communities.”

Prior featured speakers have included James O’Keefe, General Michael Flynn, Senator Wendy Rogers, Jim Caviezel and more.

The lawsuit alleges Defendant ADL maliciously targeted Mr. Sabal because of his politics and his success as an organizer of conservative Christian festivals and falsely accused him of being an extremist threat and of espousing anti-semitism.

Here We Go Again: California Declares State of Emergency In Response To Bird Flu

Here We Go Again: California Declares State of Emergency In Response To Bird Flu

Here We Go Again: California Declares State of Emergency In Response To Bird Flu
December 21, 2024

The globalists failed at the ballot box in November, but are they preparing a pandemic scare to give them the power the voters denied them? Just weeks before President Trump’s inauguration, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is declaring a State of Emergency in response to the bird flu:

In a move reminiscent of his overreaching COVID-19 policies, California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in response to the recent bird flu outbreak…Governor Newsom’s declaration grants him sweeping powers to impose restrictions and allocate resources without legislative oversight.

Newsom’s declaration came after the first report of a severe case of bird flu in a patient in Louisiana:

“The patient is experiencing severe respiratory illness related to H5N1 infection and is currently hospitalized in critical condition,” said Emma Herrock, a spokeswoman for the Louisiana Department of Health.

 “While an investigation into the source of this infection in Louisiana is ongoing, it is believed that the patient that was reported by Louisiana had exposure to sick or dead birds on their property,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.

Some health experts, like Nicholas Hulscher, believe pandemic fears are being weaponized by globalists who oppose President Trump’s agenda – in particular his nomination of medical freedom hero Robert F. Kennedy Jr to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS):

“it’s not surprising that the Biopharmaceutical Complex wishes to subvert the inauguration and confirmation processes of the Trump-RFK administration by weaponizing pandemic fears in a desperate attempt to retain control. Unfortunately, it appears that this subversion attempt has already begun…”

What We Know

Earlier this summer, Dr. Peter McCullough, gave an update of where we are with the bird flu and what we can do to be prepared.

First, Dr. McCullough says the mass destruction of livestock in order to “eradicate” the virus is “futile” and will only work to constrain our food supply – not end the spread of bird flu.

Second, McCullough believes it is clear at this point that the rapid spread of bird flu to migratory birds and mammals is the result of gain-of-function serial passage research and a lab leak. A set-up that looks eerily like how COVID-19 was released on the globe.

Third, Dr. McCullough rightly points out that the fearmongering around the bird flu is being promulgated by big pharma in order to facilitate mass vaccination of animals and humans all of which will line the pockets of the bio-pharmaceutical complex and their NGO backers.

Finally, and most importantly, Dr. McCullough urges having early prevention and treatment strategies on hand just in case.

Be Prepared – Not Scared

Whether the bird flu is a real pandemic threat or just another big pharma psyop, there is no reason to live in fear. Indeed, that is EXACTLY what they want. They want us afraid. Afraid to speak out. Afraid to say no. Afraid to refuse to comply.

The reality is – there is no reason to live in fear when you can be prepared!

Wisconsin High School Allows Biological Male to Use Girls’ Locker Room – Boy Allegedly Stares at Girls, Exposes P*nis, Rubs Himself With Lotion to “Prevent Chafing” and Threatened to “Shoot up School”

Wisconsin High School Allows Biological Male to Use Girls’ Locker Room – Boy Allegedly Stares at Girls, Exposes P*nis, Rubs Himself With Lotion to “Prevent Chafing” and Threatened to “Shoot up School”

A high school in Wisconsin has come under fire and is facing potential legal action after girls at the school complained of a biological male claiming to be transgender, using their locker rooms, exposing his p*nis, and allegedly masturbating with lotion that he says is to “prevent chafing.”

The school district reportedly voted to allow biological boys to compete in girls’ sports and use girls’ locker rooms and restrooms earlier this month.

Kenosha County Eye, a local media outlet, reported on the allegations from female students’ parents at the Westosha Central High School in Paddock Lake, Wisconsin. One girl claims she was assaulted by the boy, who is reportedly still using the locker room despite the school saying he would no longer be allowed to use the girls’ locker rooms. The student was apparently suspended after pushing a girl who told him to “put [his] d*ck away] and smashing a Chromebook laptop.

The report further details how the student has allegedly made threats to “shoot up the school,” which students say were laughed off by the faculty. Students reportedly said the teachers told them not to be “dramatic.” The student was “also in constant trouble for violent behavior” while attending another school called Salem, reports the outlet.

“I find it unacceptable that a 14-year-old girl is required to change in front of a 16-year-old boy to complete a required class in school… I don’t feel like the district is taking this seriously,” said one concerned father.

Per Kenosha County Eye:

A boy has been using the girls’ locker room to change at Westosha Central High School. He stares at the young girls while they change and that makes them feel very uncomfortable. Some of the girls began to use the stalls to change. When they would exit, the boy would be exposing his penis and rubbing himself with lotion. He claimed to the girls that the lotion was to “prevent chafing.”

Miranda Hopkins – Gym Teacher, Westosha Central High School

The boy changes in the full nude, often exposing his penis and testicles. Many girls, some or most, freshmen approached the gym teacher, Miranda Hopkins. Hopkins told the girls that the boy “identifies” as a girl, so they have to let him have access. (Miranda is of no relation to a local school board member and teacher, Brian Hopkins, nor his father, Salem Lakes Trustee Bill Hopkins.)

There is a family locker room in the school that the girls starting using, but Hopkins told the girls they can’t use it and to stop “stirring up drama.” The girls then stopped changing in the locker room and went to gym class without the proper gym clothes on. The school punished them by marking down their grades and handing out “unexcused absences.”

This is not only happening in Wisconsin schools either. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Liberty High School in Peoria, Arizona, came under fire for allowing a male student to use the girls’ locker rooms and showers alongside the girls. The biological male “had been reprimanded several times for loitering in the [girls’] bathrooms in August of [2022],” one concerned parent told The Gateway Pundit.

This is reminiscent of the biological male NCAA swimmer, William “Lia” Thomas, who decided he was better off competing against women’s competitions and stole the NCAA National Championship title. Thomas’ female teammates were exposed to his male genitalia in the women’s locker room numerous times.

Moms for Liberty Wisconsin activist Scarlett Johnson highlighted the story in an X thread Friday. On Saturday, Johnson announced she is “working with parents in Kenosha who are ready to take legal action.”

She added, “We aren’t going to take it anymore! There will be a way for everyone in the country to help the parents in Kenosha fight back against this gender insanity that is harming our girls!”

This is a developing story.

Britain’s Incoming U.S. Ambassador Called Trump a ‘White Nationalist’ – Trump Campaign Manager Chris LaCivita Says He Should ‘Stay Home’

Britain’s Incoming U.S. Ambassador Called Trump a ‘White Nationalist’ – Trump Campaign Manager Chris LaCivita Says He Should ‘Stay Home’

Peter Mandelson / Sky News

The incoming British ambassador to the United States is already running into difficulty.

Lord Peter Mandelson, who has served in senior roles in multiple Labour governments, was appointed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer to replace the current Ambassador Karen Pierce when Trump takes office.

Back in 2019, Mandelson described then-President Trump as “little short of a white nationalist and racist.”

“What Donald Trump represents and believes is anathema to mainstream British opinion, and the idea that as a result of Brexit we have to kowtow to an American president who holds those views will outrage people in Britain,” he explained at the time.

“Even those who have a sneaking admiration for Donald Trump, because of the strength of his personality, nonetheless regard him as reckless and a danger to the world.”

Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Chris LaCivita, criticized the decision to replace a “universally respected” ambassador with an “absoulute moron.”

“This UK [government] is special replace a professional universally respected Ambo with an absolute moron – he should stay home ! SAD!” LaCivita wrote on the X platform.

Mandelson is far from the only British politician to have talked about Donald Trump in less than flattering terms.

David Lammy, who currently serves as U.K. Foreign Secretary (the British equivalent of Secretary of State), once branded Trump a “neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath”, a “racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser,” and a “tyrant in a toupee”.

However, Lammy has since congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory and pledged to work with him constructively to maintain the special relationship.

THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP? Britain’s New Foreign Secretary Called Donald Trump a ‘Neo-Nazi-Sympathizing Sociopath,’ Joined Protests During His State Visit

It is also not the first time that Britain has been involved in diplomatic spats with the Trump administration.

In 2019, leaked diplomatic cables showed Britain's former U.S. Ambassador, Kim Darroch, describing Trump as "inept" and "insecure."

"We don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction-riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept," Darroch was quoted as saying.

Darroch later resigned from the position, stating that the "current situation is making it impossible for me to carry out my role as I would like"
