Father of a one-year-old girl caught a babysitter who didn’t
know her parents were going to return early from a visit to a food
store molesting her. Jayson Newlun, 26, was caught molesting a one-year-old girl by her mother (Picture: Clay County Jail)
Jayson Newlun from Missouri had been babysitting the girl on
the night of June 29th and thought he was alone when the child’s
parents left to get some food.
Metro Uk report says the girl’s mother forgot
something and had to return home to pick it up and noticed that the
babysitter, Newlun, was not on the couch anymore and their daughter’s
bedroom door was open.
She allegedly saw Newlun taking inappropriate photos of her
child before touching her genitals while inappropriately touching
himself when she walked into her room.
According to court documents, Newlun screamed before he was
reportedly punched several times by the girl’s father and hit with a
dresser drawer.
A neighbour had to step in to stop the father continuing the attack on Newlun.
Family members said 26-year-old was a family friend of the child’s parents and that they were only gone for five to ten minutes.
Newlun was charged with statutory sodomy and was detained and taken to the Clay County Detention Center.

Featuring
perks such as subsidized on-site child care and 100 percent
company-paid health coverage, the multi-campus Steven Furtick-led
Elevation Church in North Carolina has made Fortune magazine's list of 100 best places to work for millennials in 2017 and they are hiring.
The United States Census Bureau describes millennials
as America's youth born between 1982 and 2000. With 83.1 million
millennials nationwide, the generation represents more than one quarter
of the population. They are more than the 75.4 million baby boomers and
are also more diverse than the generations that preceded them, with 44.2
percent being part of a minority race or ethnic group.
According to Fortune, Elevation Church, which was previously ranked in 2015, made their list after they surveyed more than 398,000 U.S. employees from Great Place to Work-Certified companies.
The
companies were then ranked by how positively they were rated by
millennials on 50 different metrics including competence of managers and
how much they liked their colleagues. The companies were also ranked on
diversity and how millennials stacked up against other generations.
At the end of that process, Elevation Church was ranked 91 on the list of 100 companies for 2017 and was the only church on the list.
"This
is a very fast-paced, but fun environment. It's honestly the kind of
place where if you try to put just one foot in, and be half-hearted
about your job, you're going to get left behind very quickly. But if you
jump in, it's the best place ever," one survey taker from the church
reported, according to Fortune.
"Families are welcomed and
prioritized every step of the way — from on-site preschooling, to
spouses being able to sit in on all-staff meetings, to quarterly
family-centric staff parties. I think what separates Elevation as a
great place to work is the understanding that culture and commitment to
family are essential to succeeding in the work place," the survey taker
said.
"My family has felt very supported through some tough
seasons, and we've found the kind of support system here that is hard to
find anywhere, much less in the workplace. When you have that, it would
take something earth-shattering to get us to move to another place to
work," the comment ended.
The growing church, which already employs more than 200 people, plans on hiring 40 new staff members in the coming year.
Elevation
Church Staff members get 20 days paid time off after just one year of
full-time employment along with 12 paid sick days.
Along with
their subsidized gym that comes as a part of their health and wellness
program, Elevation church also provides other onsite services.
"Elevation
Church's on-site services include, haircuts by professional stylists,
car detailing, alterations, discounted movie tickets, oil changes, and
financial planning services. All services are scheduled through our
office assistant and billed as a payroll deduction," the 11-year-old
church said, according to fortune.
Employees also compete in recreational sports at a park near the church's headquarter office.
"I've
been here less than a year but I would say my whole experience has been
unique and unusual. Every morning I get to wake up and come to a place
where I can collaborate with a diverse group of people to accomplish one
common goal. People care about my career and about seeing me develop
into a healthy individual mentally, physically, and spiritually. We are
given practical opportunities to grow, whether it's leadership training,
fitness challenges, on-site chiropractic care, healthy vending
machines, Christian mentorship, etc. Elevation Church isn't your normal 9
to 5, we are a family passionate about our calling," one recent
employee said of the church.
Is it too late for America? Are the nation's best days behind us? Can our sickly country be saved?
Michael
Brown holds a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Literatures from New
York University and has served as a professor at a number of seminaries.
He is the author of 25 books and hosts the nationally syndicated, daily
talk radio show, the Line of Fire.On July 1,
2016, conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza sent out an email
titled, "On The Brink Of Losing America Forever," and it certainly
feels that we are that close. But have we passed the point of no return?
We
could all point to a virtual mountain of sins and crimes that are
rampant in our country, including the killing of more than 55 million
babies in the womb. We could all indict America on many fronts. That is
easy to do. But has Almighty God written us off forever?
As we celebrate the 241st anniversary of our nation this July 4th, this is the most important question we can ask. Everything is else is secondary. Can America be saved?
In my first book on revival,
written in 1989, I asked, "Is God through with America? Is He ready to
spew us out of His mouth? Is it too late for revival? Is our country
ready to die?"
Now, almost 40 years later, these questions are much more urgent. Do we realize how much farther we have fallen?
I have asked these questions again in my newest book, Saving a Sick America: A Prescription for Moral and Cultural Reformation,
due out in September. It is a book filled with great hope for our
future. But it is a hope based in realism, since we will never get
healthy unless we realize just how sick we are.
To use a physical analogy, America has cancer, and without radical
treatment, that cancer will soon be terminal. But with major medical
intervention and a total change of lifestyle, the prognosis is
promising. How will we respond? Taking a pill and taking a nap will not
cure our condition. Trying to eat a little better won't reverse a mortal
disease.
In the same way, a nice church service won't turn the
tide, a lovely sermon won't awaken us, and a casual prayer meeting won't
stir us from our stupor. We need a sense of desperation and urgency. Do
we have it? Are we praying and crying out and making changes in our own
lives as if America hung in the balance?
We need another great
awakening – a massive, spiritual revival – but a national awakening will
not come up without national desperation. How hungry are we? How urgent
are our prayers? How intense is our desire for God to visit our nation?
Do we realize how sick we are?
In the introductory chapter to Saving a Sick America,
I wanted to paint a picture of just how far we had fallen, and do so in
just a few pages. How could I drive this home? While giving this
prayerful consideration one day, everything became clear. I would tell
the story of an all-American dad who fell asleep while watching Leave It to Beaver with
his family in 1961, only to wake up in 2017. The changes are stark and
shocking and disturbing. How did we get from there to here?
But my
goal in that chapter (and in the book as a whole) was not to depress us
or discourage us. Instead, my goal was to awaken us to the urgency of
the hour so that we will turn to God with urgency and make urgent
changes in our lives.
It is not too late for America
unless we make it too late by our complacency and carnality and
indifference. But if we will turn to God with all our heart and soul,
our best days could be ahead, as preposterous as that may sound.
That's
why the last chapter of the book is called, "The Church's Great
Opportunity." There I tell the story of an American shoe company that
decided to expand overseas, sending their best salesman to start a new
branch in Africa. Before he arrived, the company spent years in
strategic planning, targeting this particular region as ideal for their
global expansion and shipping thousands of boxes of shoes to their huge
new warehouse. But within hours of the salesman's arrival, he called the
company headquarters in a panic. "Get me out of here!" he exclaimed.
"No one here wears shoes!"
They flew him home immediately,
temporarily halting their plans, then met as leaders to reevaluate their
strategy. After lengthy discussion, they decided that their plan was
sound, sending their second-best salesman.
Once again, within
hours of his arrival, the salesman called headquarters with an urgent
message, but this time his tone was very different. "We need thousands
more boxes of shoes!" he exclaimed. "Nobody here has any shoes!" That is
the mentality we must embrace here in the USA today in the midst of
massive societal decline. Everyone needs what we have to offer.
As I wrote in Saving a Sick America,
"Without a doubt, our nation is desperately sick, on the edge of
spiraling into moral and cultural chaos. And without a doubt, much of
the church is backslidden, having been seduced into apathy, lethargy,
and carnality by a compromised, watered down 'gospel' and by the endless
temptations of the age. In many ways, these are dark days for our
country spiritually and morally, and we must not minimize the urgency of
the hour. But rather than throw our hands up in despair, we should
recognize that this is the perfect opportunity for the church of Jesus
to rise up in the truth and power of the Spirit, bringing the message of
life and transformation to our very sick country. This is the church's
great opportunity. This is our time to stand."
By God's grace, I'm
determined to stand strong, to speak the truth and live the truth,
regardless of cost or consequence, and to turn to God will all my heart.
Can we stand together? Do we really have a choice?
I truly believe that America can still be saved, but only if we do not minimize the urgency of the hour.
A
public university in Oklahoma says that it will halt, for now, its
plans to remove Bibles and other Christian icons, like a cross, from its
chapel.East Central University in Ada announced last Friday that
its administrators responded too quickly when they initially decided to
remove religious icons from the school's Kathryn P. Boswell Memorial
Chapel.
The initial decision to remove the religious iconography
from the chapel and the cross from its steeple came after one of the
nation's leading secularist groups, Americans United for Separation of
Church and State, sent a letter on June 20 to school administrators
arguing that it is unconstitutional for the school to endorse
Christianity by having Christian-related icons in or on the chapel.
"We moved too quickly," ECU president Katricia Pierson said in a statement.
"We regret not taking time to pause and thoughtfully consider the
request and the results of our actions on all of the students, faculty
and community members who we serve."
Pierson said that the school initially
removed items from the chapel in order to show support for all cultures
and religious beliefs, since the chapel is used for various religious
gatherings and secular events.
"This requires a more thoughtful and deliberate approach to the request," Pierson added. "That will be our next step."
Pierson explained that the university is establishing a committee of students, faculty and community members to study the issue.
"ECU
is committed to diversity and welcomes different perspectives. This is
an opportunity to have a thoughtful dialogue," Pierson continued in her
statement. "ECU will not take further action until the committee has had
ample time to discuss and establish policies or guidelines for
religious expressions in the art, history, architecture, study and areas
of worship on campus."
"Any further actions will be taken after
our conversations with the committee and our valued community of
students, faculty, alumni and Ada citizens."
Americans United, a
Washington, D.C.-based organization, has a long record of advocating for
a strict version of separation of church and state.
In its letter
last month, the organization argued that even though it is legal for a
public college to have "space that can be used by students for religious
worship so long as that space is not dedicated solely to that purpose,
it is a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution to display religious iconography on government
property."
Americans United attorney Ian Smith told The Washington Post that the organization does not know of any other public universities that display religious iconography in their chapels.
"Iconography communicates a message," Smith said. "It can't be a room just for religious use." Sen. Greg McCortney praised the school in a statement for halting the removal of religious icons from the chapel.
"I
commend ECU for reviewing the policies, and taking the time to
thoughtfully consider the impacts on everyone in the university and Ada
community," Republican state Sen. Greg McCortney said in a statement.
The
school has also received pressure from another leading secularist
organization, the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation. Tulsa World reports that FFRF sent a letter to ECU last week to complain about its sacred music program.
According
to the school, the sacred music program "includes an in-depth study of
the history and philosophy of sacred music, hymnology and liturgy,
guitar and contemporary worship, sacred music composition, sacred music
practicum, and an internship."
"ECU certainly cannot train
Christian ministers to promote a sectarian religious message. Similarly,
it cannot train choir leaders to promote the same message," FFRF's
letter stated.
The National
Association of Nigerian Traditional Medicine Practitioners has said its
members can cure the ailing President Muhammadu Buhari of any ailment if
consulted.
The Patron of the
NANTMP, Dr. Adesunmiboye Fawawo, said this in an interview with our
correspondent in Osogbo on Tuesday on the sidelines of the inauguration
of the new executives of the association.
He said many
Nigerians died cheaply because the practice of medicinal and therapeutic
use of plants was being looked down upon in the country whereas
orthodox medicine was being promoted.
Fawawo said,
“President Muhammadu Buhari is our national leader and we must guide
him with all jealousy. We are a national body which is recognised by
the Federal Government. The association was established during the reign
of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and he uses our products. You
can see how strong he is even at his age.
“We have been able to treat patients whose families had
lost hope on their recovery. Unfortunately, we have not been consulted
to treat President Buhari. We can treat him and the government must
realise that traveling abroad for treatment may not solve the issue.
“If you get to mortuary many corpse found in the place are
rich people because they don’t trust their health with local treatment.
Many rich people believe expensive drugs and treatment but this will go
a long way to deepen recession.”
Fawawo said those, who were afraid of the potency of herbs
usually frighten the people by saying herbs cause kidney problem and
other issues but he said this was not true if the right dosage was used.
According to him, some herbal products are being exported
to Europe and the United States while some herbal products are in
hospitals including seleru agbo which he said was at the Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.
He said the Nigeria Educational Research Development
Council in partnership with the Osun State Government was working to on
how to teach pupils the use of herbs to cure common ailments like
stomach ache and others.
Also, the Assistant Secretary General, of the
association, Dr. Ade Adeagbo lamented the neglect of traditional
medicine in the country, saying Nigeria was wasting a huge amount on
importation of drugs.
He suggested that government should invest in local
production of herbal mixtures instead of wasting money to import
synthetic drugs which according to him had many negative side effects.
Adeagbo said ” Government should stop investing in
importation of medicine but invest immensely on local product which is
cheap and saver. The Federal Government recently launched ” Change
Begin with me” I believe this change should also start by making sure
that the President is treated locally. It will save fund and reduce and
douse tension.”

National Treasurer of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief George Moghalu has told Igbos
to forget the agitation for secession of Biafra. Moghalu stated that
the Igbos would stand to lose the most if it became a reality
He however called on them to embrace the call for the restructuring of
Nigeria. Speaking at an Anambra Consensus Forum in Awka, Moghalu argued
that 50% of the property in Abuja and Lagos were owned by the Igbo,
wondering where the secessionists would be accommodated in view of the
few states that made up Igboland.
He also said the decision of the Niger Delta states to distance
themselves from the Biafra project, makes it worse. He also added that
he was worried that most of those fighting for Biafra, were also
demanding for Igbo presidency in 2023.
“You can’t be talking about Igbo presidency in 2023 and at the same time
talking about Biafran secession,” he said.
