Indiana taxpayers shelled out more than $100,000 to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/1619-project-creator-raked-in-1m-last-year-for-college-speeches-on-inequality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1619 Project</a> author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/1619-project-writer-demanded-40k-for-45-minute-speech-busting-librarys-budget/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikole Hannah-Jones</a> for just over 24 hours of work, according to a contract obtained by The Daily Wire under public records laws.
The deal between the Trustees of Indiana University and Hannah-Jones&#8217; speakers bureau said the university would pay $101,700 for a &#8220;2022 Themester Lecture on Identity and Identification.&#8221; The &#8220;Themester&#8221; reference meant that for an entire semester, Indiana students were told to focus on the &#8220;theme&#8221; of identity.
&#8220;During the fall of 2022, we invite members of the College and campus community to reflect on identity and all that it entails,&#8221; the university&#8217;s <a href="https://themester.indiana.edu/policies-and-planning/themester-2022/index.html">website</a> says. &#8220;Race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, native language, socio-economic status, and myriad other identities shape our worldview: how we see, how we portray ourselves, and how we are perceived (and received).&#8221;
The &#8220;themester&#8221; is run by an advisory committee that includes a gender studies professor and undergraduates &#8220;majoring in Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance&#8221; and &#8220;Anthropology and Folklore and Ethnomusicology.&#8221;
Indiana is a deep-red state. Its governor, Eric Holcomb, is a Republican, and its state legislature is overwhelmingly Republican. The university did not return a Daily Wire request for comment on whether the six-figure sum was a wise expenditure of taxpayer money or whether it reflects the desires of Indiana&#8217;s electorate.

The lavish paycheck was in return for Hannah-Jones arriving on the afternoon on October 19 and participating in two classroom discussions followed by a &#8220;dinner-party with invited students and Union Board directors involving some discussion, but no prepared remarks from Speaker.&#8221; The next day, she was to participate in two more classroom sessions, followed by a &#8220;30-min public lecture, and 30 minutes of moderated discussion/q&amp;a with the audience. A meet/greet and booksigning will conclude the program.&#8221;
The $101,700 is the largest known sum of taxpayer money paid for a single engagement to the woman who has parlayed her assertions that America is &#8220;one of the most unequal societies in the history of the world&#8221; into a lucrative enterprise. Hannah-Jones was raised in Iowa, the daughter of a mixed-race couple.
The Daily Wire previously obtained records for 11 speeches she made in 2022, averaging $40,000 even though some were made online. She made at least 33 speeches last year, which at that average figure would work out to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/1619-project-creator-raked-in-1m-last-year-for-college-speeches-on-inequality" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$1.2 million</a> in 2022 speaking fees.
Most of the speeches were at universities, despite <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/historians-shred-nyt-1619-project-claiming-slavery-defines-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">historians</a> from across the political spectrum pointing to significant errors in her writing, down to the foundational assertion that America&#8217;s colonists fought for independence from Britain in order to preserve slavery.
The speeches also serve to promote her book, which earned an estimated $2 million in royalties.
Among her other income sources, Hannah-Jones received nearly $75,000 not to work at the University of North Carolina last year as part of a legal settlement. In 2020, Hannah-Jones inked a deal with Oprah Winfrey and Lionsgate to develop 1619 “into an expansive portfolio of feature films, television series and other content,” including a Hulu series that will premier this month.
Despite her heavy speech schedule, the New York Times Magazine writer is employed by Howard University following the Knight Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation and other philanthropists earmarking $25 million.

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> defended his former vice president on Tuesday after news broke that classified documents had been found at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-pence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Pence</a>’s home in Indiana.
“Mike Pence is an innocent man. He never did anything knowingly dishonest in his life. Leave him alone!!!” Trump posted on his social media site, Truth Social.
An attorney for former Vice President Pence <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-classified-documents-found-at-former-vp-mike-pences-home-in-indiana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> about a dozen documents marked classified at his residence last week. The documents have since been handed over to the FBI.
Pence directed his team to search his home in Indiana and office at his political advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom (AAF), following revelations that classified documents had been discovered in President Joe Biden’s former personal office at the Penn Biden Center, a Washington think tank affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, and at his Delaware home. No classified papers turned up in the search of Pence’s offices at AAF, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/vice-president-mike-pence-discovered-classified-documents-indiana-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>.
It’s unclear what sensitivity level the documents found at Pence’s home were marked as, or what information was contained within them.
Trump is under investigation by Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith for boxes of documents marked classified and recovered by the FBI in an August 2022 raid on Trump’s Florida residence at Mar-a-Lago. Biden is also under special counsel investigation for his own handling of classified documents.
Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped attorney Robert Hur to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meet-robert-hur-special-counsel-investigating-bidens-handling-of-classified-docs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serve</a> as special counsel and take over the DOJ’s investigation into Biden earlier this month.
Biden’s personal attorneys first found classified documents at the Penn Biden Center in early November, days before the 2022 midterm elections. Biden&#8217;s team found more documents stored in the garage of the president’s home in Wilmington in December. Subsequent searches of the home revealed more classified documents at the home on at least three occasions.
The latest discovery of sensitive materials at Biden’s home came on Friday after the FBI conducted an official search of the residence. Biden’s personal attorney, Bob Bauer, announced the findings of the search.
“DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President. DOJ also took for further review personally handwritten notes from the vice-presidential years,” Bauer said in a statement.

An attorney for former Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-pence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Pence</a> reportedly found about a dozen documents marked classified at Pence&#8217;s home in Indiana last week.
Pence has since turned the documents over to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI</a>, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/24/politics/pence-classified-documents-fbi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>. The reported discovery comes as the Justice Department has already tapped two special counsels to investigate classified document handling by President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> and former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>.
Pence directed his team to search his home in Indiana and office at his political advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom (AAF), following revelations that classified documents had been discovered in Biden&#8217;s office at the Penn Biden Center, a Washington think tank affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania. No classified papers turned up in the search of Pence&#8217;s offices at AAF, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/vice-president-mike-pence-discovered-classified-documents-indiana-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>.
The former vice president informed the National Archives of the discovery of classified government documents at his home on January 18, Pence&#8217;s team told Fox News. The National Archives then informed the FBI about the discovery.
Pence&#8217;s team found classified documents in two small boxes. Two other boxes contained copies of papers from Pence&#8217;s time as vice president. The FBI collected the documents from Pence&#8217;s home on the evening of January 19. The documents were held in a safe until the FBI&#8217;s arrival, the Pence team told Fox News.
The discovery of classified documents at Pence&#8217;s house comes on the heels of another classified document scandal that has embroiled the White House. Attorneys for Biden found classified documents in Biden&#8217;s office at the Penn Biden Center last year days before the 2022 midterm elections.
Attorneys for Biden found more sensitive papers at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, on three separate occasions. Attorneys found a cache of documents in Biden&#8217;s garage, a group of five documents in his study, and then a lone document in his study again.
The FBI <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/21/politics/white-house-documents/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> more classified documents in a subsequent sweep of Biden&#8217;s home on Friday. Biden&#8217;s personal attorney, Bob Bauer, announced the findings of search.
“DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President. DOJ also took for further review personally handwritten notes from the vice-presidential years,” Bauer said in a statement.

Addressing the wickedness of slavery in 1850, the great American abolitionist Frederick Douglass said the practice “violates the great law of liberty, written on every human heart.” Further, he said, it “contravenes the laws of eternal justice, and tramples in the dust all the humane and heavenly precepts of the New Testament.”
In 1865, America banished chattel slavery, but nowadays — yes, even in 2023 — a modern form of slavery persists in the form of illegal human trafficking. And there are thousands of victims living right here in America.
The crime of human trafficking occurs anytime someone uses force, fraud, or coercion to make another individual provide labor, services, or commercial sex acts. If a person performing commercial sex acts is under 18, the crime of human trafficking <a href="https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">still occurs</a> even without the elements of force, fraud, or coercion.
Because this evil $150 billion global enterprise operates in the dark shadows, compiling statistics on its reach is difficult. To stamp it out, we need the same kind of determination that the 19th-century abolitionists showed in their own fight for justice and liberty.
Human trafficking is enabled by those who choose to look the other way rather than paying attention to signs that someone might be a victim.
It is also enabled and exacerbated by elected leftist leaders (such as the current president) who willfully embrace the porous nature of the U.S.-Mexico border, across which so many victims are trafficked into the United States.
As Indiana’s attorney general, I am committed to promoting greater awareness among the public of human trafficking — and I am committed to forcing our federal government to get serious about border security.
With January being National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, now is a fitting time to remind Hoosiers and all Americans to stay watchful for signs that someone might be a trafficking victim. 
According to the U.S. State Department, those signs include observations that someone:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">lives with their employer.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">lives with multiple people in a cramped space.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">otherwise experiences poor living conditions.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">is prohibited from speaking alone to strangers.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">gives answers that appear to be scripted and rehearsed.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">has an employer holding their identity documents.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">shows signs of physical abuse.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">is submissive or fearful.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">is unpaid or paid very little.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">is under 18 and working in the commercial sex industry.</li>
</ul>
People in certain job roles — such as medical professionals, restaurant workers, teachers, and truck drivers — are particularly likely to come into contact with trafficking victims.
Anyone with suspicions that another person is being trafficked should immediately call local law enforcement. They may also call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888.
My office works with law enforcement to assist crime victims — including administering our <a href="https://www.in.gov/attorneygeneral/about-the-office/appeals/victim-services/address-confidentiality-program/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Address Confidentiality Program</a>. This initiative enables victims of certain crimes, including trafficking, to conceal their residential address from the public — and therefore from their victimizers.
Combating this scourge, however, also requires sealing our nation’s southern border from easy trespass by people with criminal intent.
The criminal cartels operating out of Mexico are responsible for a significant measure of the human trafficking that occurs within the United States.
“In the U.S., immigrants, especially immigrant women, make up the largest portion of trafficking victims,” notes Selene Rodriguez at <a href="https://www.texaspolicy.com/how-porous-borders-fuel-human-trafficking-in-the-united-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TexasPolicy.com</a>. “In fiscal year 2021, there were nearly 2 million migrant apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border, and that number only accounts for the people encountered by border agents.”
Studies done by the Latin American branch of the <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/04/17/how-bidens-border-policy-will-increase-child-sex-trafficking-to-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coalition Against Trafficking International </a>estimates that 60% of Latin American children who set out to cross the border alone or with smugglers “have been caught by the cartels and are being abused in child pornography or drug trafficking.”
As Indiana attorney general, I have filed a <a href="https://events.in.gov/event/attorney_general_todd_rokita_defends_hoosiers_liberty_in_indianas_own_border_security_lawsuit?utm_campaign=widget&amp;utm_medium=widget&amp;utm_source=State+of+Indiana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first-of-its-kind lawsuit</a> aimed at forcing the Biden administration to get serious about securing the border — solely on behalf of Indiana, based on damages unique to our state.
Securing the border would bring relief to millions of Hoosiers and all U.S. citizens who are currently bearing the burdens of runaway illegal immigration. But it also would help prevent the victimization of women and children from Latin American countries who are being trafficked.
We need to talk about these issues not only during National Human Trafficking Awareness Month but indeed all year long.
And beyond the talk, we need action.
Todd Rokita is Indiana’s <a href="https://www.in.gov/attorneygeneral/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attorney general</a>.

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) announced Tuesday that he is running for the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN).
Braun previously announced plans not to seek re-election in 2024 in order to run for governor of Indiana.
&#8220;We NEED conservatives in Washington who aren’t afraid to fight Biden’s radical agenda,&#8221; Banks tweeted alongside a video promoting his Senate run. &#8220;That’s why I am running to represent our great state of Indiana in the United States Senate.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Banks, the first candidate to enter the Senate race, is the former chair of the Republican Study Committee.
&#8220;Radical, socialist Democrats are trying to change America, but I won&#8217;t let them,&#8221; Banks said in the video. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been on the front lines fighting for America first policies in Congress.&#8221;
Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) and former Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-IN) are reportedly also considering a run for the seat, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/indiana-rep-jim-banks-launches-2024-senate-run-highlights-record-conservative-fighter">according</a> to Fox News.
Banks was first elected to the House in 2016 to represent Indiana&#8217;s 3rd District which includes Fort Wayne, one of the state&#8217;s largest cities. He also previously served in the Indiana state Senate and served in Afghanistan as a member of the Navy Reserve.
&#8220;I’m 100% pro-life, pro-family, pro-military, pro-veteran, focused on the issues that the voters care most about today, which is holding the Biden administration accountable and restoring America, fighting for our conservative values, putting America first, and that’s what I want to do in the Senate,&#8221; he told Fox News during a Tuesday interview.
Banks also said during the interview that the $1.7 trillion spending bill supported by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was a key factor in his decision to run.
&#8220;I think we need new conservative voices and leaders in the Senate. That’s why I’m running. There aren’t enough of them, and the omnibus bill is an example of that,&#8221; Banks said. &#8220;There’s lots of other examples where we’ve had Republican senators in the U.S. Senate go along with the Democrats and pass the radical Biden agenda. And I want to go there and fight back against it.&#8221;

Among the top issues Banks highlights on his <a href="https://banksforsenate.com/issues/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">campaign website</a> is border security. Banks says he &#8220;is a strong and vocal advocate for securing our border by implementing the successful policies of the Trump administration, including building a physical barrier along the southern border, and reinstating the &#8216;Remain in Mexico&#8217; program where migrants must wait in Mexico before their asylum claims can be heard in the United States.&#8221;

An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi">FBI</a> surveillance team was tracking the man suspected of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide">killing</a> four University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students">students</a> while the suspect and his father were driving cross-country to Albrightsville, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a>, and reportedly asked <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/indiana">Indiana</a> police to pull him over.
The team requested video images of the suspect, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, as well as his hands, a law enforcement official <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/idaho-murders-fbi-directed-indiana-police-pull-over-bryan-kohberger-seeking-video-images-hands?fbclid=IwAR3_gkjNXXcNfRT-91B2H13DXYemjdOLsiDNZqyOvd_NOGdj31J-_uCQpis">told</a> Fox News. The source said that investigators were still building their case against the suspect when he was pulled over in Indiana on December 15 as he and his father drove from Washington to Pennsylvania.
Bodycam footage released Wednesday showed a Hancock County Sheriff’s deputy pulling the suspect over while driving a white Hyundai Elantra — the same make, model, and color of a car that Moscow police have been searching for over the past few weeks. It is unclear whether this deputy was asked to provide images of the suspect to the FBI.
The sheriff’s office reportedly pulled over the vehicle for following too closely behind another vehicle. The suspect and his father mentioned they had been pulled over by another officer for the same reason and had received a ticket warning, so the officer in the bodycam footage did not take further action. The officer did, however, explain how much space should be between vehicles at certain speeds.
The officer and the suspect’s father chatted about the long drive – from Washington to Pennsylvania – before the officer returned to his vehicle.
Video of the incident can be found <a href="https://www.kxly.com/new-video-moscow-murder-suspect-pulled-over-at-traffic-stop-in-indiana/?fbclid=IwAR0HV6xwqyMaPE9IN2w-WZKCV0tce-5432Wz3XwRxG-OE_hW32HDn50xEU8">here</a>.
The sheriff’s office said they had no information about a suspect wanted for the Idaho murders at the time the traffic stops occurred. The white Hyundai has since been seized by police in Pennsylvania, where the suspect was apprehended on December 29.
The suspect, who is pursuing a Ph.D. in criminal justice and criminology at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, worked as a teacher’s assistant and was reportedly a tough grader. That changed in the weeks after the murders, one former student <a href="https://archive.org/details/CNNW_20230102_130000_CNN_This_Morning">told</a> CNN on Monday.
“Definitely around then, he started grading everybody just 100s. Pretty much if you turned something in, you were getting high marks. He stopped leaving notes. He seemed preoccupied,” the student said. “The couple times that he did come after, or around that time period, he had a little more facial hair, stubble, less well-kept. He was a little quieter.”
The suspect previously studied psychology at DeSales University in Pennsylvania. While at DeSales, the suspect reportedly worked as a student investigator for a survey exploring motives behind crimes. One question in the survey reportedly asked, “Why did you choose that victim or target over others?” Another asked, “After committing the crime, what were you thinking and feeling?”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Police</a> in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/indiana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indiana</a> saved Christmas for one family whose holiday cheer was ruined by a &#8220;true-life Grinch.&#8221;
The South Bend Police Department responded to a breaking and entering report on Christmas Eve morning. A burglar had taken food from the refrigerator and all the family&#8217;s Christmas presents, leaving nothing for the children to open on Christmas. The police responded to the call, then showed up with armfuls of gifts and food to replace the items the thief had stolen.
The SBPD <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SouthBendPD/videos/2410185085795485/">posted</a> a video of the officers to the Department&#8217;s Facebook page. &#8220;Earlier today, day shift officers responded to a Breaking &amp; Entering complaint at a home in South Bend,&#8221; the Department wrote. &#8220;After talking to the homeowner, officers learned that Christmas gifts had been taken, leaving the children with nothing for the holidays. Fortunately, officers were able to get in touch with the organizers of the South Bend FOP Lodge #36 Santa’s Elficers program, who advised they had some leftover gifts to share. Officers then came back to the residence with several boxes of Christmas presents and food for the family. This is what serving our community is all about.&#8221;
In the video, the officers invite the children to come into the room, where a bunch of toys are placed under a small Christmas tree. Two children see the presents and run to the pile, laughing and jumping up and down in fits of excitement. A mother holding a third child also enters the room and gasps when she sees the toys. &#8220;Oh my goodness,&#8221; the mother exclaims, telling her children to tell the officers &#8220;thank you,&#8221; before thanking the officers herself. The children smile and present their new gifts to the officers in delight.
In an interview with local news station <a href="https://www.wndu.com/2022/12/25/how-south-bend-pd-saved-christmas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WNDU</a>, the officers compared the thief to a real-life version of Dr. Seuss&#8217;s &#8220;The Grinch,&#8221; and explained how and why they replaced the stolen items. “They found out that the house had been burglarized, and in the process, the individual had taken all the gifts and even some food out of their refrigerator,” Patrolman Brian Meador told the outlet. “So, they really left this family with nothing much at all.”
“True-life Grinch,” Meador added. &#8220;Yep, cleaned them out. Not even the Who-hash or the Roast Beast (was left). It was all taken.”
Meador works with the &#8220;Santa&#8217;s Elficers&#8221; food and toy drive, which had already delivered toys to more than 400 local families and food to dozens more. The officers who responded to the scene of the crime reached out to him. “They asked if we had anything extra, and we keep items here at the station for just an instance like this,” he said.
“And when you see the kids, this morning I was able to go out and deliver the food and the gifts, and to see those little girl’s faces when they saw the presents under the tree and started playing with them, that’s why we do what we do,” Meador said. “That’s the positive part, and that’s what keeps us going as officers. And so, I hope it’s a memory for them that’ll last a lifetime. Maybe someday, they’ll be in a position to give back.”

Police searching for a kidnapped infant in Indiana found him at a restaurant, moments after they had given up searching.
Five month-old twins Kyair and Kason Thomas went missing last week. Police found Kyair hours later, outside the Dayton International Airport in Ohio. Police in Indianapolis spent most of Thursday searching for the car that Kason was believed to be in; officers gave up the search late Thursday afternoon and stopped at a local restaurant to eat. Right then and there, officers found the car and the boy.
“We stopped to decompress and talk about the day and what happen to Kason so as parents we understand,&#8221; Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Officer Shawn Anderson told local news station <a href="https://www.wishtv.com/news/i-team-8/baby-at-center-of-amber-alert-found-in-car-after-2-days-woman-arrested/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WISH-TV</a>. &#8220;It was time for us to decompress because we were disappointed that we could not find him and then God opened up the heavens to us and almost took him and put him right in our hands.”
According to WISH, the two officers stopped searching for the day and stopped to eat at a restaurant. Across the parking lot from the restaurant at a Papa John&#8217;s pizzeria, the officers spotted the black Honda Accord the kidnapper had used to steal the infant. An employee of the Papa John&#8217;s noticed the car sitting in the parking lot, but said that abandoned cars are fairly common so he thought nothing of it. “Fortunately, they found a baby in the car that had been sitting there for a few days,&#8221; the employee said. &#8220;Thank God he was OK.”
The employee also said that he saw the suspect on Tuesday when she inquired about a job. “She came in Tuesday morning probably around 8 o’ clock and was asking about bus passes and asking if we were hiring. I didn’t think too much about it. She was here for about 20 minutes and left and walked right past the car, and I didn’t see her again.”
Kason and Kyair were <a href="https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/ohio-amber-alert-issued-after-twin-babies-disappear-with-car-from-parking-lot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kidnapped</a> on Monday. Their mother, Wilhelmina, was picking up a DoorDash order from Donato&#8217;s Pizza in the Short North neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. She left the car running while she picked up the order.
The suspect, later identified as Nalah Jackson, reportedly left the restaurant out a side door, got into the running car, and sped away with the twins still inside. According to police, Jackson is homeless and had a previous criminal record that included theft, receiving stolen property, interference with custody, and endangering children.
Kyair was found in the pre-dawn hours Tuesday morning. A traveler walking around the economy parking lot at Dayton International Airport, nearly an hour&#8217;s drive away from Columbus, around 4:15 A.M. Tuesday, when he heard a baby crying. He found Kyair Thomas in a car seat, wrapped in a quilt, in the lot. The traveler called 911, and police arrived on scene and took charge of the infant. He has since been reunited with his parents.
Jackson was charged with two counts of kidnapping by the Franklin County court on Tuesday, and a warrant was issued for her arrest. She was <a href="https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/columbus-police-announce-charges-against-woman-accused-kidnapping-twin-5-month-old-boys/530-475879f4-f0fe-43b0-a4bb-17e5dfcfa407" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> on Wednesday. According to WISH, she faces charges in Ohio, and federal charges for taking Kason Thomas across state lines.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced two lawsuits against TikTok on Wednesday over concerns about data sharing and mature content targeting children.
“The TikTok app is a malicious and menacing threat unleashed on unsuspecting Indiana consumers by a Chinese company that knows full well the harms it inflicts on users,” Rokita said in a <a href="https://events.in.gov/event/attorney_general_todd_rokita_launches_litigation_against_tiktok_to_protect_children_and_combat_threats_from_china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.
“With this pair of lawsuits, we hope to force TikTok to stop its false, deceptive and misleading practices, which violate Indiana law,&#8221; he added.
The first <a href="https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=31323334-50bba2bf-31367a34-4544474f5631-9fd90e5af7e2a544&amp;q=1&amp;e=dcd71c60-170b-438a-80dc-8646d040b3bf&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.govdelivery.com%2Fattachments%2FINAG%2F2022%2F12%2F07%2Ffile_attachments%2F2348727%2F2022.12.06%2520PUBLIC%2520REDACTED%2520IN%2520Complaint%2520-%2520Content%2520vf.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> argues that the social media platform misled users to believe that TikTok is appropriate for children ages 13-17 despite frequent references to sexual content, profanity, drugs, and other mature content.

The second <a href="https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/INAG/2022/12/07/file_attachments/2348729/2022.12.07%20IN%20Complaint%20Final%20-%20CHINA.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> alleges that TikTok has gathered sensitive personal data from Indiana residents while claiming that user information is protected from the Chinese government and Communist Party.
“In multiple ways, TikTok represents a clear and present danger to Hoosiers that is hiding in plain sight in their own pockets,” Rokita said. “At the very least, the company owes consumers the truth about the age-appropriateness of its content and the insecurity of the data it collects on users. We hope these lawsuits force TikTok to come clean and change its ways.”
The lawsuits seek emergency injunctive relief and civil penalties against TikTok.
The Indiana lawsuits add to a growing list of states that have announced plans to ban the Chinese-based app from state devices.
On Wednesday, Texas became the largest state to do so, with Republican Gov. Greg Abbott denouncing TikTok.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
I&#39;ve banned TikTok on state issued devices.
I&#39;m also calling for legislation to make the ban permanent and to broaden the ban.

“TikTok harvests vast amounts of data from its users’ devices—including when, where, and how they conduct Internet activity—and offers this trove of potentially sensitive information to the Chinese government,” he <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-orders-aggressive-action-against-tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in a letter.
“While TikTok has claimed that it stores U.S. data within the U.S., the company admitted in a letter to Congress that China-based employees can have access to U.S. data. It has also been reported that ByteDance planned to use TikTok location information to surveil individual American citizens,&#8221; it added.
The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-governor-bans-tiktok-from-state-devices" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan announced a ban on TikTok from the state’s government devices on Tuesday.
“There may be no greater threat to our personal safety and our national security than the cyber vulnerabilities that support our daily lives,” Hogan <a class="Link" href="https://governor.maryland.gov/2022/12/06/governor-hogan-announces-emergency-directive-to-prohibit-use-of-tiktok-china-and-russia-based-products-and-platforms-in-state-government/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
On Monday, South Carolina Republican Gov. Henry McMaster <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-clear-and-present-danger-to-its-users-south-carolina-gov-bans-state-employees-from-using-tiktok-amid-national-security-concerns">issued</a> an executive order banning TikTok from government devices.

Kristi Noem became the first governor to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/south-dakota-governor-noem-blocks-state-employees-from-downloading-tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ban</a> TikTok from state devices and made it a criminal offense to download the app on a state device.
“South Dakota will have no part in the intelligence gathering operations of nations who hate us,” Noem said in a <a href="https://news.sd.gov/newsitem.aspx?id=31872" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “The Chinese Communist Party uses information that it gathers on TikTok to manipulate the American people, and they gather data off the devices that access the platform.”
At the federal level, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) introduced legislation last month to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-lawmakers-to-introduce-legislation-banning-tiktok-in-u-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ban the app</a> in the U.S.
Concerns about the Chinese-based app reach back to 2020 when then-President Donald Trump signed an executive order that sought to ban the use of TikTok in the U.S.
The order was to take effect 45 days later but was not implemented following a series of legal challenges. President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/06/09/fact-sheet-executive-order-protecting-americans-sensitive-data-from-foreign-adversaries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revoked</a> the executive order in June 2021.

An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/indiana">Indiana</a> coroner’s office is seeking <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dna">DNA</a> samples from relatives of young men who might have been victims of a prolific <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/serial-killer">serial killer</a>.
Jeff Jellison, Hamilton County’s chief deputy coroner and coroner-elect, is looking to identify human remains found on an 18-acre estate in Westfield, Indiana, that once belonged to a man suspected of killing numerous young gay men, the Associated Press <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/indiana-coroner-hopes-dna-can-id-remains-found-suspected-serial-killer-rcna59424?fbclid=IwAR2_iDsKF2HAqDpq6NysTqIi_3cJyoquuZbg_QYhpepanQnKKBzTMyfo0vE">reported</a>. The estate, known as Fox Hollow Farm, was previously owned by businessman Herbert Baumeister, who killed himself in Canada in July 1996 at the age of 49 when police were looking to question him about the remains found on his Indiana property.
More than 10,000 human bones and bone fragments have been found on the land since the mid-1990s, the AP reported.
“Some of them as small as a fingernail, some of them as large as some leg bones,” Jellison said in a press release, <a href="https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/coroner-hoping-to-identify-more-than-a-dozen-potential-serial-killer-victims/">according to Fox 59</a>. “Most of those remains were crushed before they were discarded, a lot of them were also burnt before they were discarded. Those two things right there create huge hurdles.”
Authorities have suggested that Baumeister, a married father of three, would go to gay bars and pick up young men he brought back to his home, where he killed them.
Police have linked Baumeister to the disappearance of at least 16 men since 1980 but believe the bones and bone fragments could belong to at least 25 people. In addition to the remains on his property, several bodies were found in shallow streams in Indiana and Ohio and are also believed to be linked to Baumeister.
Jellison said that 11 human DNA samples had been extracted when the investigation started 30 years ago. Eight of those samples were identified and matched, leaving three remaining. Jellison takes office in January and wants to make identifying the remaining individuals one of his first orders of business.
“These people were on a shelf for 26 years,” Jellison said. “They were forgotten, they’re no longer forgotten.”
Jellison said in the press release that he hopes advances in DNA technology could help identify additional remains but said he needs help from the community.
“If you had a relative, a loved one, that was missing from the mid-80s to middle 90s,” he said. “I need you to come forward and provide us with DNA.”
“It’s just a cheek swab,” he added. “It takes just a few seconds. You can come to us, we’ll come to you, but we need those swabs. Without those, we’re not going to go anywhere with this investigation.”

Republican <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/indiana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indiana</a> Senator Mike Braun announced he is running for governor of Indiana in 2024.
Braun, who was elected to the Senate in 2018, filed campaign finance paperwork to run for the governorship on Tuesday, and made his candidacy public on Wednesday morning. Braun&#8217;s gubernatorial run leaves his Senate seat open, and names are already being floated for the seat, including Republican Congressman Jim Banks.
“Mike Braun has filed his paperwork to run for governor and will be making an official announcement of his candidacy very soon,&#8221; Braun&#8217;s senior political adviser and chief of staff told <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/30/braun-to-run-for-indiana-governor-opening-senate-seat-in-2024-00071339" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Politico</a> Wednesday. Braun himself also confirmed the news to the outlet. “That filing did occur yesterday,” he told Politico. “We’ll talk to you down the road.” Braun&#8217;s <a href="https://campaignfinance.in.gov/PublicSite/SearchPages/CommitteeDetail.aspx?OrgId=7771" target="_blank" rel="noopener">candidate committee filing</a> is publicly available on the Indiana Secretary of State&#8217;s website.
Braun is seeking to replace incumbent governor Eric Holcomb, who is prevented from running for a third term. There are no term limits per se under Indiana state law, but the <a href="https://iga.in.gov/legislative/laws/const/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state constitution</a> prohibits him from holding office for more than eight years out of any 12-year period. Holcomb could run for another term, but he would have to wait at least four years.
Braun will likely face a hotly-contested primary. <a href="https://www.wane.com/news/local-news/eric-doden-kicks-off-campaign-to-be-indianas-next-governor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Doden</a>, a businessman who served as president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation under former Governor Mike Pence, announced he was running for the governor&#8217;s mansion in June of this year, and current Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch is expected to mount a run as well, Politico reported.
Braun was elected to the Senate in 2018; he fought in a tough primary against Reps. Todd Rokita and Luke Messer, then upset incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly in a race that helped Republicans hold the Senate. He previously served in the Indiana House of Representatives. Before that, he was CEO of an auto parts distribution business.
Names already being floated to replace Braun in the Senate in 2024, include Republican Reps. Jim Banks and Victoria Spartz. A spokesman for Banks told the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2022/11/30/mike-braun-run-governor-senate-indiana-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Caller</a> Wednesday that he is mulling a run for Senate. “Rep. Banks’ conservative record and relationships put him in an excellent position to win a statewide race in Indiana,&#8221; the spokesman said. &#8220;Hoosiers deserve principled representatives like Senator Braun who will fight for their values in Washington.&#8221;
“Rep. Banks is strongly considering running if Senator Braun doesn’t seek a second term and over the upcoming holiday will talk to his family and friends around the state about how he can best serve Indiana,” he added.
Banks has served in Congress since 2017, and was just elected to a third term in Congress in the 2022 midterm elections. He currently serves as chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, and mounted an unsuccessful bid to become House GOP whip in the next Congress.
Spartz, meanwhile, was elected in 2020, and was also re-elected to Congress earlier this month. An immigrant from Ukraine who came to the U.S. in 2000, Spartz&#8217;s profile has been raised in recent months due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Authorities in Delphi, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/indiana">Indiana</a>, on Tuesday unsealed the probable cause affidavit that led to the arrest of Richard Allen, 50, for the 2017 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/murder">murders</a> of two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/teenagers">teenagers</a>.
The affidavit, <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23321462-allen-affidavit">published</a> by the Daily Beast, reveals that Allen admitted to being on the Indiana hiking trail where 13-year-old Libby German and her best friend Abby Williams were last seen alive and where their bodies were found on February 14, 2017. Video surveillance from the Hoosier Harvestore, a machine repair company in Delphi, and an unspent bullet found at the scene, all point to Allen as the killer, police say in the affidavit.
After the teens’ bodies were found, police pulled evidence from Libby’s phone, including photos of a potential suspect and an audio recording of a man saying “down the hill.” Multiple witnesses reported seeing a man matching the description of the one seen in the photo on the trail within the timeframe that the girls would have been killed, according to the affidavit.
Other witnesses mentioned seeing an automobile parked near an old building that police believe belonged to Allen, whose vehicle was seen traveling westbound in front of the Hoosier Harvestore at 1:27 p.m. Allen said he arrived at the trails around 1:30 p.m.
Allen said he went to the trails on February 13th and on to the Monon High Bridge to watch the fish. This is the same bridge where the teen girls went for a walk. Allen also told investigators that he owned firearms and knives.
On October 13, 2022, more than five years after the girls were murdered, police executed a search warrant of Allen’s home and found numerous weapons, including a Sig Sauer Model P226 .40 caliber pistol.
&#8220;Between October 14, 2022 and October 19, 2022 the Indiana State Police Laboratory performed an analysis on Allen&#8217;s Sig Sauer Model P226. The Laboratory performed a physical examination and classification of the firearm, function test, barrel and overall length measurement, test firing, ammunition component characterization, microscopic comparison, and [National Integrated Ballistic Information Network],” the affidavit said. “The Laboratory determined the unspent round located within two feet of Victim 2’s body had been cycled through Richard M. Allen&#8217;s Sig Sauer Model P226.&#8221;
Investigators learned that Allen purchased the firearm in 2001, and he told him during a voluntary interview with the Indiana State Police on October 26, 2022, that he “never allowed anyone to use or borrow” that particular weapon. At the time, however, he denied any involvement in the murders of the two teen girls but couldn’t explain how the bullet was found between their bodies.
Definitively proving an unspent bullet came from a particular gun is not as simple as the affidavit makes it seem, according to Stephen Gutowski, a certified firearms instructor and reporter who founded The Reload.
“The forensic techniques used by crime labs to match specific guns to specific bullets have come under heavy scrutiny in recent years,” Gutowski told The Daily Wire. “So, I think it&#8217;s important to examine claims like this with a healthy dose of skepticism. The idea you could match a mark on the rim of a casing to a specific gun&#8217;s extractor seems dubious to me.”
“I could see an argument that an extractor on a certain model of gun could leave a unique marking on an unspent round if the round were cycled through the firearm since the extractor may have dimensions that are different from other firearms,” he added. “However, the Sig Sauer P226 has been an incredibly popular firearm for decades, and it&#8217;s unlikely the mass-produced extractors included on each pistol would leave a marking that&#8217;s obviously distinguishable from another P226.”
The affidavit also highlights the unreliability of witness testimony. Allen said he witnessed three juvenile females while walking the trail, and those three described a man they saw walking alone, believed to be Allen. One of the girls said the man she saw was wearing “like blue jeans a like really light blue jacket.” Another said the man wore a black hoodie, black jeans, and black boots. The third girl described the man as wearing a blue or black windbreaker jacket and baggy jeans.
Witnesses also described seeing a vehicle parked at an old Child Protective Services building near the trails. One witness said he saw a purple PT Cruiser or small SUV backed up to the building. Another witness described it as possibly being a “smart” car.
Allen owned two vehicles in 2017, a 2016 black Ford Focus and a 2006 gray Ford 500, according to the affidavit. Investigators saw a car resembling Allen’s Ford Focus traveling in front of the Hoosier Harvestore store. They also suggest the witness descriptions of the vehicle “are similar in nature to a 2016 Ford Focus.” A Ford Focus is described as a compact vehicle, but it is not small or distinct enough to be confused for a “smart” car. It is also not large or distinct enough to be confused with a PT Cruiser or an SUV.
The affidavit makes multiple notes that Allen was the only male seen in the vicinity of the crime at the time the murders were alleged to have occurred. Yet, last week, prosecutors in court suggested they believe a second person may have been involved, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prosecutors-allege-second-person-involved-in-delphi-murders-of-two-teen-girls">reported</a>.
The news surprised not only those following the case but also Allen’s defense attorney, who said as much to reporters outside the courtroom.
“If you read the probable cause affidavit it does not mention anything about any other person. That was news to us,” defense attorney Andrew Baldwin said.
