Nebraska: Chinese Teaching Assistant Arrested in Sexual Assault Case

Zhijun Xia, 29, a teaching assistant “originally from China” (and likely still a Chinese national) at the University of Nebraska Omaha, has been charged with sexual assault on a child.

The story is at the Omaha World Herald (hat tip: Michelle):

UNO instructor charged with sexual assault; police say he also took photos of 15-year-old girl

A graduate assistant teacher at the University of Nebraska at Omaha has been charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child on allegations that he had sex multiple times with a 15-year-old girl he was tutoring.

Zhijun Xia, $20,000 in cash will spring him. No mention of whether the judge took his passport.

Zhijun Xia, 29, an instructor in UNO’s math department, also has been charged with creating child pornography for taking photos of the girl performing sex acts on him in his UNO office, police say. If convicted, Xia, originally from China, would face a minimum of three years and a maximum of more than 100 years in prison.

According to a warrant for Xia’s arrest, the girl, now 17, went to UNO’s public safety office June 3 and to Omaha police a week later and laid out the following accusations:

The girl went to Xia for tutoring once a month. Xia began texting the girl, then 15, in June 2018.

The two began having sex a month later. The two would meet and engage in sex acts and intercourse in his car at Center Park at 159th and Valley Streets, in the parking lot of a Goodwill retail store near 181st and Q Streets and in Xia’s office on the UNO campus.

Story continues with more details of their encounters.  One wonders what took the girl so long to go to authorities.

Under Nebraska law, it is illegal for anyone 19 or older to have sex with anyone 15 or younger.

 

Boston “Man” Nabbed for Stealing Millions from PPP Program

Reader Tom sent me a story from Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse about how Elijah Majak Buoi has been busy amassing millions of dollars meant to help small businesses survive the Chinese virus crisis.

The Conservative Treehouse story is here.  And the press release from the US Justice Department is here.

There is lots of coverage of the “man” who I am guessing is a ‘new American’ from Africa (Sudan maybe?), but I was searching for a story that might have a photo and found this one at Universal Hub:

Area man charged with $2 million in coronavirus loan fraud

Federal prosecutors today charged a Winchester man with wire fraud for his four applications for federal loans aimed at helping small businesses continue to make payroll despite losses related to Covid-19, alleging he made up employee numbers and that the few employees he does have are all based in India.

According to a federal complaint unsealed today, Elijah Majak Buoi of Winchester was rejected for three of his applications for Paycheck Protection Program loans – which can be converted to grants – but was granted $2 million on the fourth, despite giving different employee and payroll numbers on the applications.

In addition to having Buoi arrested today, the US Attorney’s office is asking a judge to freeze his bank accounts so he cannot transfer the money he received out of the country. At his arraignment, a federal magistrate judge in Worcester set cash bail of $15,000.

[….]

The affidavit*** states that Buoi first filed a PPP application with Bank of America in April for $7.5 million, based on the 353 employees he said he had, all allegedly in Massachusetts. After the bank rejected his request, he tried again with three other lenders, asking each for $2 million, with his employee count on applications ranging from 18 to 96 employees.

The first two lenders also rejected his requests, but the final one, to which he claimed he had 96 US employees, approved his request and he had $2 million deposited in his Bank of America checking account earlier this month.

According to the affidavit, Buoi’s LinkedIn page says he has just five employees, and all are in India, making them ineligible for PPP coverage.

[….]

According to the affidavit, Buoi transferred some $1.2 million of the PPP payment from one Bank of America account to another and has withdrawn $27,000 of it – $20,000 in a wire transfer to India.

The US government was able to get most of our money back.

Candace Owens Asks: What Does Black America Want?

“Do we want to be able to point to the white boogeyman?”

This is required watching today!

I heard Ms. Owens speak in person in 2018 and she is a remarkable woman.

Here she is yesterday in a 17 minute video on the Candace Owens Show at Prager University.  Hat tip: Paul

She says what most of you are thinking, but can’t say!

Help keep Prager U. alive and on the worldwide web by making a donation.

Changing the subject (a little).

Just now when I went to Merriam Webster to confirm the spelling of ‘boogeyman,’ I was stunned to see this sentence example given for the use of the word.

Are on-line dictionaries fueling the left’s narrative?  It seems so.

Here is a screenshot! Far-right fringe groups!

The link sends readers to a story on conspiracy theories surrounding the death of George Floyd. The article’s author and Merriam Webster want to be sure readers get the message that Soros has had nothing to do with the recent anti-police protest riots.

Recent Examples on the Web?  WTH! Now just for fun, search “boogeyman” on the web and see if the Soros reference even comes up.

 

 

‘Dreamers’ Win as Supreme Court Upholds Power of the “Administrative State”, aka the Swamp

Confused about what happened in the Supreme Court this past week on the DACA ‘kids’?

Ken Masugi writing at American Greatness tells us how bad the decision is for us that a President is bound to an illegal decision made by a previous President simply because the new President calling foul didn’t dot all the ‘I’s and cross all the ‘T’s.  (Hat tip: Paul)

(Of course questions remain about whether the Trump Administration was screwed by sloppy legal work on his side, or intentionally sabotaged by government lawyers who crafted its case.)

A New Dred Scott Decision Immortalizing Bureaucracy

 

Just as the infamous Dred Scott case in 1857 would have extended slavery throughout America, so Thursday’s decision in Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California threatens to make the machinations of bureaucratic government supreme and unrepealable.

A great disappointment again: Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts was nominated by President George W. Bush.

Chief Justice John Roberts’ 5-4 court opinion strengthens the grip of the administrative state—the interlocking network of bureaucracy and political correctness—over the democratically elected branches that are supposed to make us a nation of self-governing citizens.

The Supreme Court, in a seeming conspiracy with lower federal courts, has tilted the table against the elected president and his appointees in favor of bureaucratic governance.

As dissenting Justice Alito pointed out, “the Federal Judiciary, without holding that [the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program] cannot be rescinded, has prevented that from occurring during an entire Presidential term. Our constitutional system is not supposed to work that way.” The judiciary, far from clarifying and drawing bright lines, has effectively become part of the bureaucracy.

Admitting that the equal protection or due process rights of the children of illegal residents—a.k.a. “the dreamers”—were never in jeopardy, Roberts nevertheless concluded that the Trump Administration’s repeals of unlawful Obama Administration actions are illegal because the appropriate provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act were not followed.

We need to all pray that Justice Clarence Thomas remains on the court for many years to come.

In his dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas (joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch) noted that as a result of this ruling, the Department of Homeland Security “is not only permitted, but required, to continue administering unlawful programs that it inherited from a previous administration.”

Despite the illegality of DACA and other policies, which were never laws to begin with, there remains the question of how we are to be free of arbitrary and capricious bureaucratic edicts and decrees.

[….]

To repeat: the error is the most basic separation of powers error possible: The court confused itself with the Congress and began making policy demands of the executive…

[….]

Aided by a life-tenured Court, the administrative state may have found its Dred Scott case in DHS v. Regents and thereby the means for making itself the true ruler of America.

Whether this will portend a new civil war over whether Americans are subjects or citizens is an open question. For one thing, it isn’t a war unless citizens recognize they are being fired upon.

More here.

And, if there was only one reason (there are many!) to get out there now and work to assure that President Trump is reelected remember this—the President appoints federal judges and Supreme Court justices!

 

 

 

Minnesota: Machete “Man” Arrested, No Name Provided

***Update*** Machete man identified—white guy named Olson!  Read all about it!  Photo included!

LOL! It was last year’s Minnesota Machete Man I had in mind!  See here.

Move along, nothing to see!

Whoever this “man” is who brandished a machete and chased three children in Waite Park, MN on Thursday, he is 28 years old and no reason to withhold his name. He is not a minor in need of protection.

If anyone still wonders why we have no faith in the media, this is one reason why.

Immediately, and under the present circumstances not just in Minnesota and everywhere in America where racial tension is high, one becomes suspicious when incidents like this occur and we are not given the facts.

I assume if his name was Anderson or Johnson, the 28-year-old would have been named!  I could be wrong, but nevertheless this is news for a blog like this (whoever he is!).

From CBS Minnesota (hat tip: Bob):

Man Accused Of Chasing Children With Machete In Waite Park

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A 28-year-old Waite Park man is in jail accused of chasing children with a machete Thursday.

We have come to expect no photo for alleged attackers like this, but no name for a 28-year-old who was arrested in the crime?

According to Waite Park police, officers were dispatched at 9:18 p.m. to the 200 block of 3rd Street South in Waite Park. They were responding to the report of a “male with a machete who had been chasing kids in the courtyard.”

While en route, officers were advised by dispatch that someone at the same address was reporting that someone pointed a gun at them.

After arriving on the scene, police determined that the suspect had been in the courtyard over the prior few days chopping at a tree with a machete. Police said he was chopping at the tree Thursday when, at some point, he stopped and began chasing three children who were playing nearby.

When one of the children advised a parent of the situation, they confronted the suspect. While the parent was speaking to the suspect, the suspect reached into his pocket, so the parent “became afraid and brandished a gun”, police said.

The suspect allegedly told police at the scene that the parent pointed a gun at his head. However, police said a gun was never pointed at him.

The suspect was then arrested for second-degree assault and taken to Stearns County Jail.

 

As soon as someone finds his name I will report—even if he is a machete-owning Anderson or Johnson!  (LOL!  He is an Olson! See update above!).

Endnote:  Where are the environmentalists?  For Pete’s sake, he was hacking at a tree for days after all!
