“Rest in Piss” – Twitter is flooded with negative comments following the passing of conservative host Rush Limbaugh

We all know that we should never speak ill of the dead, but it looks like that a huge number of people forgot about this after the news of Rush Limbaugh spread around.

Limbaugh was considered a conservative and very provocative man best known as the host of his radio show The Rush Limbaugh Show. Now, after he’s no longer around, many opted to highlight the mean words he used to speak. The Hollywood Reporter reported president Biden describing Limbaugh as “a conservative media personality who has done as much as Trump himself to divide our nation,” during one occasion.

Many spared no words of hatred to describe how they felt about Limbaugh passing, with some feeling sorry for the devil himself for having to share the hell with him.

Others condemned him for everything he stood for while he was alive.

In 2020, Rush Limbaugh was given a Presidential Medal of Freedom by former president Trump who thanked the host during his speech for “decades of tireless devotion to our country.” People seemed not to like the fact the host was a recipient of such honorable medal.

Limbaugh offended many during his career behind the mic and people were not afraid to remind everyone of the vicious things he used to do and say.

Limbaugh, who died at 70 of lung cancer, was very opinionated. Speaking of feminism, he once said it “allows unattractive women access to the mainstream of society” adding “I love the women’s movement, especially when walking behind it.”

In the book The Most Dangerous Man in America: Rush Limbaugh’s Assault on Reason, author John K. Wilson speaks of the “ideologies of America’s most notorious conservative radio talk show icon,” and his homophobic, sexist, and cruel statements. In it, Limbaugh was quoted saying: “When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it’s an invitation.”

Of course, there are also those who mourn the loss of Rush Limbaugh.

Mom of two justifies wearing designer outfits while her kids wear cheap clothes

Don’t you think that most new moms face the pressure others impose on them regarding how they raise their kids? I don’t really understand how people give themselves the right to tell a mom how she should dress her little ones, or what food to feed them. At the end of the day each kid is different and there isn’t a unique parenting formula that works equally for each and every one of them.

Caitlin Fladager is a devoted mom of two from Vancouver, Canada who is tired of people criticizing her choices.

She is always well dressed in designer clothes while her young son and daughter wear pieces bought mainly at Walmart. This seems to be something that bothered some of the followers of the blog she runs, so she decided to answer back and justify her decisions.

She starts her post writing: “Your kids only wear clothes from Walmart, while you get dressed up a lot. Not a good look for you as a mom..” and then continues: “Because I am not constantly outgrowing them, like my kids are. ⁣ ⁣I am not constantly spilling food and dirt all over my brand new clothes.”

Honestly, I totally agree with her as she’s got a point. Kids grow really fast and buying designer clothes for them that cost an arm and a leg seems like a waste of money. On top of that, the clothes she buys are new and look awesome on her kids.

“I strive to be the mom who sees them spill, and says ‘oh no big deal!’⁣ I strive to be the mom who sees them playing in the dirt, not caring that they are ruining a brand new outfit,” Fladager adds. “The dirt, the smiles, and the ice cream makes me way more happier than a photo of them dressed in clothes they hate, that they will outgrow in a week,” she concludes.

Her kids are loved and happy, and she’s an awesome mom, and the choice over how she dresses her little ones and how much money she spends on clothes is her own decision.

Politician defends his 33 year old son arrested for raping a 12-year-old child – Blames the girl for having “a woman’s body”

Ivan Roca, a right-wing politician in Chile, triggered the rage of the Chileans and literally people from all around the world as he pointed his finger to the 12-year-old girl raped by his 33-year-old son, accusing her of having a “woman’s body” thus defending his rapist son’s act.

The wrongdoer, Jurgen Roca Aguayo, is in custody awaiting his trial as his dad is doing his best to portray him as the victim, although he raped a minor.

According to The Sun, Roca took to Facebook to explain how parents of girls must escort their daughters around whenever they want to go out and “control” them if they don’t want them to end up being raped.

Fury at Chilean politician for DEFENDING his 33-year-old son who raped a 12-year-old girl and blaming the victim’s ‘…

Posted by Schengen Story News on Tuesday, 16 February 2021

After he was condemned by the wide public and a number of politicians, Roca simply said it was a “shame that it was always the man that paid the price.”

The ex-vice president of Roca’s political party, UDI, Isabel Pla Jarufe said of her former colleague: “He has a public responsibility as an official and his statements are unacceptable. He has attempted to make his 33-year old son a victim in a case where he raped a 12-year old girl.”

After Roca realized that no one supported his outrageous beliefs, he claimed his words were “taken out of context,” but instead offering an apology, he explained how he didn’t mean to say that female children should be “controlled” by their parents, but offered “guidance,” once again placing the blame on the parents of the girl his son raped.

Further, he gave an interview for Eldesconcierto during which he once again did his best to make his son the victim. As quoted by The Daily Mail, Roca said “It’s a shame what happened to my son,” and added, “I just visited him in jail and it was full of young men just like him, detained for being with minors without thinking of the consequences beforehand. This feels very wrong to me regardless of whether the minor appeared older or not.”

Despite being criticized by the public for defending his son, Roca believes it is the raped person who is at fault and not the rapist.

This is shocking!

Danielle Hopton, an 18-year-old teenager from Colorado, was found beaten in the parking lot of 525 East Drake Road. Unfortunately, she died as a result of the severity of her injuries.

Hopton was described as “a gorgeous, loving, kind and caring young woman” who was a huge animal lover. Her family says she spent most of her free time volunteering at a local shelter in Fort Collins and was helping her dad raise guide dogs for the blind.

The tragic incident took place on February 6, and the police already made an arrest. The suspect is identified as 20-year-old Stephen McNeil. He and Hopton were attending the same school and were allegedly dating in the past.

The beating was reported by McNeil’s friends who saw him fleeing the scene after a group of them were hanging together at an apartment complex near the parking lot where Hopton was found.

McNeil was arrested the following day and was booked into the Larimer County Jail on charges of first-degree murder, a felony, domestic violence, violation of a protection order, and violation of bail bond conditions. One of McNeil’s friends who was with him and Hopton that day, Ian Rayas, was charged with accessory to a crime and attempt to influence a public servant as he falsely denied knowing what had happened.

This wasn’t McNeil’s first arrest. In December, he was charged with a felony assault involving strangulation and again in January with misdemeanor criminal mischief.

“Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of the victim,” said Investigations Lieutenant Jeremy Yonce. “This heinous act of violence took a woman’s life and forever changed the lives of her loved ones. We will continue working diligently to support her family and seek justice.”

A GoFundMe page was set up on the behalf of the Hopton’s family by Bo Street. It says: “All money raised will be split equally between Guide Dogs for the Blind, Larimer Animal Shelter, and Crossroads Safehouse. This is what Danielle would’ve wanted.”

We are so very sorry for the loss, our thoughts and prayers are with the Hopton family. Rest in peace, Danielle.

Is there anything a parent won’t do for the well being of their children? The answer to this question is a resounding yes, and the dad from this story proves that to be right once again.

Elizabeth Boyd is a 38-year-old woman from Oklahoma who recently warmed the hearts of hundreds of people who stumbled upon her Facebook post.

Namely, as the weather went truly bad and the streets were all icy, her father got worried that she would slip and hurt herself, so he decided to wait for her outside her workplace and pour salt on the way from the building’s front door to her vehicle.

“You guys… THIS IS MY DAD,” she wrote. “He drove to my workplace and waited on me to arrive so he could pour a trail of salt from my vehicle to the front door of my building so that I, his 38 year old daughter, wouldn’t slip and fall on the ice…My heart y’all… Love you daddy.”

She posted this along with the photo of her dad carrying the bad of salt.

People couldn’t help but comment on the touching post.

“Do something extra special for him!” wrote one person. “Definitely give him a HUGE HUG, big enough for all of us who no longer have our dads.”

“This melted my heart!!” another person wrote. “What an amazing Daddy you have. Wish mine was still here.”

“[M]y Dad is just like yours! I’m 39 and married! And he still checks on me every single day! they sure don’t make them like that anymore! We are blessed!”

We also believe that Elizabeth is very lucky for having such an incredible dad.

The Disappearance of Shannon Matthews showed how Shannon’s own mother Karen plotted the kidnapping while portraying herself as a worried parent pleading the police and the public to find her little girl.

And while she was crying crocodile tears on the national TVs and over 250 officers and 60 detectives were searching for her daughter, along with the help of thousands of drivers and hundreds of friends, sweet Shannon was kept inside Michael’s apartment, drugged and tethered.

Over 3,000 places were searched in hopes of finding the girl before Michael’s neighbors called the police saying they had heard tiny steps coming from inside his place.

Detective Constables Nick Townsend and Paul Kettlewell together with their teams went to check on Michael. What they saw inside his home left them in chills. Speaking to The Mirror, Nick said: “There was a deathly silence, then I heard a little girl’s voice. She said, ‘Stop it, you’re frightening me.’ I think Donovan had his hand over her mouth. I knew the voice had come from within the room. I couldn’t work out where it was coming from.”

Shannon was found in the base of a double bed and Michael was there too. He bit one of the officer’s arm and shouted: “Get Karen down here. We’re sharing the money – £50,000.”

As per The Guardian, the prosecutor Julian Goose QC called Karen “a proven, consummate, skillful and convincing liar.”

Both Karen and Michael were sentenced to eight years in prison. Years after she kidnapped her own daughter, Karen was reported to had told The Mirror: “I’m not Britain’s worst mum. I didn’t kill anybody. None of it’s true. I’m on the edge. It makes me want to kill myself but I’d never do that. I’m scared I’ll die lonely and alone.”

As for Shannon, she got a new identity and is living with a new family in an undisclosed location.
