Must Watch: New Hampshire State Rep. Erica Layon’s Firey Speech Advocating for Women Too Much for Petulant Dems Who Storm Out of Room (Video)

New Hampshire State Rep. Erica Layon

On Thursday, New Hampshire State Rep. Erica Layon (R) gave an impassioned and powerful speech against gender ideology and advocating for protecting women and girls.

Her Democrat colleagues were so offended by her pro-woman stance that they threw a tantrum and stormed out of the room after failing to silence her through a vote.

During her remarks, Layon shared, “Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor Women’s History Month. In March 1911, a fire started inside the Triangle Shirtwaste factory in New York City. And as the 146 women working inside rushed to exit, they realized the doors were locked to keep them inside and working. They all died.”

“These women silenced in life, spoke loudly in death, leading to greater protection from workers. This tragedy also added to the momentum for the women’s suffrage movement. Just nine years later, women gained the right to vote. We gained our voice.”

“While today, we have our voice at the ballot box and in the legislature, too often, women still stay silent to keep the peace or out of fear. A woman forced to keep quiet in potentially dangerous situations is encouraged to become a victim through inaction.”

“How often do we ask women to speak out in cases of domestic abuse, yet they are still afraid that they will be ignored, so they suffer in silence. 105 years ago, women gained the right to vote. Some 140 of us in this chamber have a strong voice to stand, vote, and speak for those who elected us.”

“When women are silenced, it hurts all of us.”

“We stand today at a pivotal moment. Women who have been silenced are gaining back their voices. And indeed, in 2011, on the 100th anniversary of the Women’s History Month, President Barack Obama said that there is still work to be done before women achieve true parity.”

“But what is parity? Is it the equal opportunity to speak up for yourself, your safety, your emotional needs? Or is parity the erasing of women, women’s spaces, women’s sports, and women’s voices?”

“Women thought that the kind thing to do was to make space and hold their tongues, but rather than finding a tolerable compromise, they were pushed another foot for every inch they gave.”

“They had to violate their boundaries and yield to men in their self-esteem while forsaking their own.”

“Women were on a path to become history, not to make history. 114 years ago, women across the nation let the women working in garment shops know they were not alone, that they need not be silent, that they need not accept danger just to make men more comfortable. We have a choice to make. Our children and grandchildren are watching.”

Layon continued after repeated outbursts from Democrats.

“Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I was saying, the women working in the garment shops were placed in danger by the men who owned and operated those garment shops. Now, we have a choice to make. Our children and grandchildren are watching.”

“Will we stand with these women…. will we stand with these women and girls who are reclaiming their voices, reclaiming their spaces, and reclaiming their right to succeed or fail on their own merits?”

“Or will we roll over and make this the first… Give yourself cool. Will we instead roll over and make this the first “Women Are History” Month?

“I ask you to stand with me with the President who just signed a proclamation declaring March 2025, Women’s History Month for women’s rights, to tell women and girls that they matter, that their voices matter, and that their boundaries matter.”

“We must overcome the campaign to silence women, or women ourselves will become history.”

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I look forward to the day when we can also celebrate men who have been demonized and villainized for too long.”

Watch:

Honoring and advocating for women was simply too much for Democrats, who repeatedly shouted at Layon before storming out of the room.

Rep. Layon joined Grant Stinchfield on RAV to share her reaction to the latest Democrat public tantrum.

“It’s Women’s History Month, and women are being silenced to make other people feel comfortable.”

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

Published

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
