Tennessee State

Tennessee moves forward with the death penalty for convicted child rapists, as it should be!   I’m Tomi Lahren, more next.    My state of Tennessee has approved legislation to green light the death penalty for those convicted of child rape.    Our Republican-led state legislature made it a point to advance this legislation to send a message to child predators, it will not be coddled in the Volunteer State.    The law goes into effect July 1st, not a moment too soon!!   The great state of Florida and Governor DeSantis approved a similar bill almost a year ago.    All red states should follow suit.    If you are convicted of preying on children- the most innocent among us- your life should be on the line.    California might protect and shield pedophiles and sexual predators, but that doesn’t fly in our red states!   Good for Tennessee!   I’m Tomi Lahren and you watch my show “Tomi Lahren is Fearless” at Outkick.com

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

A series of bone-chilling new photos show the barbarous conditions inside a mega-prison in El Salvador that was built to hold gangbangers from the country’s most violent criminal organizations — and no prisoner who’s ever walked in has breathed the free air ever again.

The photos, released by the government of El Salvador, show scores of shirtless, heavily tattooed inmates being shepherded into the maximum-security center, which...
