The Left continues digging to find racism. My question is when are people going to stop apologizing to the mob?
The attorneys for Lindsey Clancy continue their harassment of the lone standout juror. A juror we now know.
And we need to listen to stories out of Canada concerning the MAiD program. It’s a very flawed program, an immoral program, and it is coming to the United States.
This is Illegal
According to Fox News:
Lindsay Clancy’s defense has filed a double jeopardy motion seeking to have the three first-degree murder charges she faces for the strangling deaths of her young children dismissed.
Attorney Martin Weinberg, who also represented Karen Read in her double jeopardy claim, filed a motion for Clancy Monday raising claims under the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments. Read’s claim failed, but she was later acquitted of all homicide-related charges in her second trial.
Weinberg argued that there was no “manifest necessity” to declare a mistrial on Sept. 4 “given the absence of judicial inquiry regarding repeated reports that one juror was refusing to apply the Court’s instructions regarding reasonable doubt.”
The jury split 11-1, with only the holdout wanting to find her guilty. The others were in favor of finding her not criminally responsible for the children’s deaths after Clancy’s defense claimed she suffered from postpartum psychosis.
Judge William Sullivan previously overruled a defense motion to have the holdout juror dismissed and replaced with an alternate, saying he felt it was not appropriate for him to get involved in the deliberations.
Weinberg’s motion argued that Sullivan’s decision to declare a mistrial before investigating the holdout is improper, alleging that the jury foreperson accused the holdout of making “statements acknowledging doubt but refus[ing] to apply it to the verdict as the law states.”
Weinberg also argued that there was a legal basis for conducting a probe into the holdout before the mistrial was declared. However, Sullivan did not hold one.
On Friday, Clancy’s trial attorney Kevin Reddington called for an investigation into the holdout juror who wanted to find her guilty of murder charges in connection with the strangling deaths of her three young children.
You Have to be Kidding Me?
According to the Daily Wire:
The shoe brand Converse has apologized after social media users accused the company of putting out a “racist” advertisement.
The ad in question, which shows K-pop singer Karina wearing a skirt and holding a pair of Chuck 70 X sneakers, caused controversy as critics accused the company of promoting the KKK and lynching.
“How any American who is remotely educated can look at this horrifying ad & not see a klan hood and the feet of a hanging body…makes me speechless,” one person said, echoing what many others were saying.
“No, you’re not crazy. Yes, the Converse ad is racist. Yes, it looks like a Klan outfit. Yes, it looks like a lynching. And no, ‘it’s just a shoe ad’ is not a defense,” another popular comment said.
The backlash got so bad that Converse released an apology via social media.
“We’re sorry,” the Boston-based company said in the statement, per ABC 7. “We understand why this image is deeply upsetting and recognize that we got this wrong. We removed it from our channels and are working to remove it everywhere it appeared. This should not have happened and we will do better.”
Karina has yet to release a public statement, but followers have also targeted her for participating in the photo shoot, even though she didn’t know what the final ad would look like. Several users have referenced the original, uncropped photo to defend her involvement.
Plenty of people are wondering what all the fuss is about.
“When you look hard enough, you find racism in everything,” one X commenter observed.
“It’s not about reality. It’s about the reality that the Party tells you exists,” another person agreed.
The Converse brand launched in 1908 and is best known for the popular Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker. Converse is now owned by Nike.
This incident comes on the heels of Target yanking a so-called racist costume from shelves after followers started freaking out about it.
Photos of the costume, which was called “Kids’ Glows under Blacklight Circus Clown,” showed a young black child modeling the outfit. The costume included a black-and-orange printed bodysuit and hood with an oversized smile and a mini top hat.
The listing and photos led customers to compare the costume to blackface performances from the Jim Crow era.
“We removed an offensive Halloween costume that should never have been part of our assortment,” Target wrote in a statement last month, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “It is no longer for sale. As a company, we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry.”

Coming to a Hospital Near You
The Left is a party of death and destruction. I have said this over and over:
- Abortion.
- Trans-ing kids.
- Homelessness.
- Drug legalization.
- Supporting terrorism.
According to the Post Millennial:
Speaking with the Daily Mail, Brigitte Kranendonk said she sat down with her grandmother, Brigitte Stegemann, two days before the procedure took place to make sure she understood what was going to happen.
“I used very frank terms. I said: ‘Do you know that you’re going to die on Friday?’” Kranendonk said her grandmother was in disbelief and cried for 45 minutes upon hearing this. “I’ve made a mistake,” Kranendonk recalled her grandmother saying. “She was bawling. Inconsolable.”
Kranendonk said that in a cognitive test administered to Stegemann, which is designed to determine whether a person seeking MAID is of sound mind to consent, Stegemann “got every question wrong, believing that her two living siblings were dead.
48 hours after Kranendonk spoke with her grandmother, Stegemann was dead. She reportedly died with her hands clasped in prayer and covered in her own blood after the first attempt at connecting the IV, which was allegedly administered by a nurse not wearing gloves, was botched. Stegemann’s death took place on July 10 at The Pearl care home in Cannifton.
Kranendonk alleges that MAID practitioners had taken advantage of her vulnerable grandmother. “She was a vulnerable human being, and they saw an opportunity.” She added, “No one had ever done MAiD at this residential home before: this was their very first MAiD procedure. So I don’t know if they just dropped the ball, because they didn’t know what they were doing.” The care home has maintained that Stegemann had legally consented.
Speaking on that morning, Kranendonk said, “There was a phenomenal amount of blood. She said a nurse had failed to find the correct vein in her grandmother’s right arm for an IV, and switched to her left arm after having “poked her about three or four times with the needle.”
“It is all over my Oma’s arm, it is all over her nightie, soaking through her pillow, all over the sheets, there is so much blood. And throughout all this time, mind you, the nurse is not wearing gloves.”
Kranendonk spoke of a February incident in which her grandmother was fitted with a medical port. Stegemann repeatedly ripped it off, yelling, “I don’t want the death shot!”
Kranendonk had been Stegemann’s caregiver for 12 years and her medical power of attorney for six years. A year and a half before Stegemann’s death, her family made the decision to place her in The Pearl as her cognitive and physical health began to decline. In February of 2026, she was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. Doctors, however, were uncertain about the amount of time she had left to years, with estimates ranging as high as two years.
Kranendonk spoke with her grandmother about all options for the final stages of her life after the diagnosis, including MAID, and remembered her grandmother saying, “No, I don’t want that.” Kranendonk said her grandmother’s religiosity was a large factor in why she didn’t want it.
She was told on July 3 that the care home was booking a MAiD assessment for her grandmother. Kranendonk had been on a 10-day trip, and earlier on the trip, no one had said anything about a dramatic decline in her grandmother’s health.
“I truly believe that one nurse really saw us as an obstacle,” Kranendonk said. “We were getting in the way of her doing MAID on my grandmother. I think she really, truly believes that MAID is the best for people, and shame on me for trying to stop that.”
Kranendonk said she was present for her grandmother’s second MAID assessment. She said the doctor spoke in “really loose terms, never using the words death or dying.”
“She explains MAID to my grandmother by saying: ‘We’re going to give you medicine, you’re going to feel at peace. And I just want you to know that you won’t have a bowel movement.’ She’s saying it in these strange terms, that aren’t literal.” She added, “My Oma’s just kind of nodding. Her first language is not English, she is 83-years old and severely hearing-impaired.”
Kranendonk said she has yet to see the MAID paperwork that a nurse claimed her grandmother signed. Stegemann got questions wrong on her assessment and was confused in the days leading up to her death. Kranendonk said that she felt cornered and rushed in the days leading up to her grandmother’s death. She said that when the doctor arrived to administer the life-ending medication and asked Stegemann if that was ok, Stegemann did not respond. The doctor proceeded.
