The House stenographer who made a scene on Wednesday night during the vote to reopen the government and lift the debt ceiling is finally speaking out. Dianne Reidy, who shouted out a religious-fueled rant about Freemasons and God, had this to say about her blow-up: “For the past 2 and 1/2 weeks, the Holy Spirit has been waking me up in the middle of the night and preparing me (through my reluctance and doubt) to deliver a message in the House Chamber. That is what I did last night.” Hmmm. Read about it here…[Fox/Gretawire]
So this happened. Fox News guest and attorney Joseph DiBenedetto weighed in on the case of a Maryville, Missouri teen who was allegedly raped by a classmate and had some interesting things to say. “What did she expect to happen at one in the morning after sneaking out? I’m not saying — assuming that these facts are accurate and this did happen — I’m not saying she deserved to be raped, but knowing the facts as we do here including what the prosecutor has set forth, this case is going nowhere and it’s going nowhere quick.” Oh?

A Chinese couple who sold their baby daughter to raise money for an iPhone and other expensive items are facing many years in jail after authorities caught wind of their actions. The couple, identified only as Miss Zhang and Mr Teng, placed an anonymous advertisement in the newspaper to sell the baby at 50,000 yuan (or a little more than $8,000). Police have charged them with human trafficking for selling the baby, who was said to only have been a few weeks old. [DailyMail]
So this is also happening. The Perfecting Church, home to famed gospel singer and pastor Marvin Winans, is refusing to bless children born out of wedlock in front of the congregation. And unapologetically so. Read about it here… [HuffPost]
