North Carolina man Frank Abrams had no idea what he was getting his hands on when he bought a grainy old picture at a flea market. The photo shows Billy the Kid and his killer Pat Garrett. Experts say the photo could be worth millions.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Frank Abrams had no idea he was getting his hands on a valuable piece of history when he bought a grainy 19 th-century photo for $10 at a North Carolina flea market.

However, high-tech analysis of the group photo has revealed that it shows both Billy the Kid and his killer Pat Garrett, which could potentially mean that it is worth millions of dollars.

"This is completely unknown, that Garrett and Billy are in a picture together," Abrams, an attorney, told Fox News. "This is amazing, everybody is excited."
NEW IMAGE SHOWS BILLY THE KID PLAYING CROQUET
Abrams said that the tintype was in a set of photos that he purchased in Fletcher, North Carolina, in 2011. "It sat on my wall for four years or so," he added.

However, a National Geographic documentary in 2015 about the discovery of another photo showing Billy the Kid playing croquet prompted Abrams to take a closer look at his own photo. "The croquet story came out and I Google 'Billy the Kid' and I see Pat Garrett, and I look at him and I look at the picture and I say 'that's the same person'!"

Garrett, a former friend of Billy's who became a sheriff, famously gunned the outlaw down in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, in 1881. Born Henry McCarty, Billy the Kid also used the alias William Bonney. He was 21 years old when he died.
RARE PHOTO SHOWS JESSE JAMES WITH HIS KILLER, SAYS FORENSIC ARTIST
Abrams consulted a number of experts on the photo, which is dated Aug. 2, 1880. A forensic video expert in Los Angeles used facial recognition software on the image, which indicated that Garrett and Billy the Kid were both in the picture. A handwriting expert also compared a Garrett signature on the image to other documents known to have been signed by him and confirmed that it was the same person.

Abrams thinks that set of pictures once belonged to Pat Garrett's friend Marshall Ashmun Upson, better known as Ash Upson. The journalist and author was the ghostwriter of Garrett's book "The Authentic Life of Billy the Kid."

Another photo, for example, shows Upson on a horse - "ASH" is written on the back of the photo in handwriting identified as Garrett's. A third photo shows Upson's niece Florence Muzzy.
COUPLE DISCOVER 19TH-CENTURY LOG CABIN DURING HOME RENOVATION
There are very few images of Billy the Kid in existence. The photo of Billy playing croquet, for example, was appraised and insured for $5 million.

A portrait of Billy the Kid taken in Fort Sumner, in 1880, sold for $2.3 million in 2011. In that photo, Billy the Kid is packing a Colt revolver and 1873 Winchester Carbine rifle.

Abrams thinks that his group photo shows Billy, Garrett and their companions enjoying themselves. "They are all celebrating - they have cigars, they have booze," he said.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS MAKE 'EXCITING' DISCOVERY IN ALAMO DIG
Intriguingly, Abrams notes that a price tag is also visible on Billy's the Kid's sweater. "It may be that Billy is saying 'there's a price on my head, so here's a price on my sweater'," he said.

Abrams told Fox News that the picture is now stored in a safe deposit box.

"I have never put a price on it, others can speculate from here to kingdom come," he said. "Whether it will be sold in the future will be a decision we will make when the right time comes around."

woman speaking out saying George H.W. Bush groped her

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The woman, now 55, spoke exclusively with CNN and said she was attending a fundraiser for Bush's re-election campaign in Dearborn, Michigan, with her father when the president grabbed her rear end during a photo-op.

"We got closer together for a family photo and it was like 'Holy crap!'" she said, describing the moment Bush touched her buttocks. "It was like a gentle squeeze."

In the moment, the woman said, she just smiled for the camera. There were people all around, including US Secret Service, but she does not believe anyone else noticed. She said she rationalized the moment to herself back then by saying they were moving closer together for the photo and so "it was probably an accident."

Recent reports about groping allegations against the former president, now 93 and in a wheelchair, made her rethink that incident.

"All the focus has been on 'He's old.' OK, but he wasn't old when it happened to me," she told CNN. "I've been debating what to do about it."

Her story -- remarkably similar to the accounts shared by at least six other women who said the former president groped them during photo-ops between 2003 and 2016 -- is significant, because it is the first time a woman has come forward to accuse Bush of unwanted touching while he was in office.

This latest Bush accuser asked that her name not be published to avoid unwanted media attention. However, CNN has spoken with the woman's ex-husband and her best friend, both of whom she told of the incident soon after it occurred.

"I remember her coming home and her saying he (Bush) said (to her father), 'Is that your daughter?' or 'Who's that with you?' and her dad said, 'It's my daughter,' and he said, 'Well, get her in the picture,'" the woman's ex-husband said. "She tried to write it off as 'move in closer' -- but no, it wasn't. The hand definitely was across the butt. It wasn't across the waist."

The woman shared with CNN the photograph of the moment during which she said Bush grabbed her, along with the transcript of his address to the Dearborn fundraiser and recent texts from her ex-husband and a co-worker referring to the 1992 incident in the wake of the groping allegations against Bush that surfaced in October.

Her best friend noted that the woman had a "strange look on her face in the photograph" and she asked her whether that was the moment the president grabbed her.

"I said, 'Is that when it happened?' And she said 'Yes,'" the friend said.

Bush spokesman Jim McGrath declined to comment on this latest allegation.

Earlier allegations

Actress Heather Lind, who appeared in the AMC series "Turn: Washington's Spies," wrote in October that Bush touched her inappropriately a few years ago as they were posing for a photograph, and while she did not get into the specifics of the incident, she referred to it as a sexual assault.

"He didn't shake my hand. He touched me from behind his wheelchair with his wife, Barbara Bush, by his side and told me a dirty joke. And then, all the while being photographed, touched me again," Lind wrote in a now-deleted post on Instagram.

A second actress, Jordana Grolnick, described a 2016 incident in which she said she was groped by Bush.

"He came backstage to take a picture with a group of girls and he was in a wheelchair and he reached his hand around and said to the group ... 'Do you know who my favorite magician is?' And we all said, 'No, who?' and he said, 'David Cop-a-Feel,' and at that moment, I felt him grab my behind," she told CNN in an interview in October.

A third woman who wished to remain anonymous told CNN in October that she met Bush at a VIP event in Houston in 2015. She said he squeezed her buttocks "a couple times. It was unmistakable. It was not just a pat. It was a serious squeeze."

Best-selling author Christina Baker Kline wrote in Slate in October about being groped by the former president in April 2014 when she was invited to Houston as a guest author for the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy fundraiser.

"I had this one moment with this ex-president. He beckons me over and says, 'You're a writer. Do you know what my favorite book is?' I thought, 'This is my one moment with this guy,'" she told CNN. I thought, 'I'm a writer and a reader, and this president is going to tell me his favorite book. What an honor.' I leaned forward thinking this is a moment to remember -- a moment of connection. The joke was on me."

Baker Kline, who said Bush told her a version of the "David Cop-a-Feel" joke as he groped her, had also been reluctant to share her story publicly. But like several of the women CNN spoke to, she was irritated by the explanations being put forward by Bush's team, which she said did not accurately represent what happened and were instead "twisting it around."

"It doesn't happen in a vacuum," she said. "Not every man does this, but if he does it, he usually does it more than once. Someone doesn't just grab a woman's butt out of the blue that hasn't done it before."

Pamela Kruger, a friend of Baker Kline, said the writer told her about the incident in 2016 when the sexual harassment allegations against then-Fox News chief Roger Ailes were emerging.

"What she wrote in Slate captured what she conveyed to me about the experience," Kruger told CNN.

In response to the allegations reported last month, most of which allegedly occurred in the last few years, McGrath issued a statement that cited the former president's age and physical condition.

"At age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures," McGrath wrote. "To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke -- and on occasion, he has patted women's rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner. Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate. To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologizes most sincerely."

McGrath confirmed to CNN at the time that he was referring to the "David Cop-a-Feel" joke mentioned by four of the women who have made allegations against the former president when he wrote last month's statement.

Earlier this week, after allegations surfaced in Time magazine that the former president groped Roslyn Corrigan in 2003, when she was just 16 years old and he was not in a wheelchair, McGrath issued another statement.

"George Bush simply does not have it in his heart to knowingly cause anyone distress, and he again apologizes to anyone he offended during a photo op." he wrote.

The Michigan woman said those explanations bothered her.

"I was starting to get irritated, because they were trying to excuse it like he was just a doddering old man," she said. "He was a sitting president who was running for election."

"He gave a fairly lengthy speech that day and all the big heavy hitters were there, from the Detroit area," said the woman.

Former journalist Liz Allen, 66, shared a Facebook post in late October about a 2004 encounter during which, she said, Bush touched her inappropriately.

"Guess what? He did this to me when we posed for a photo after the Manufacturer and Business Association dinner," she wrote in the post.

"It was cool to be in a photo with a former president. But I remember feeling uncomfortable with that pat or touch on my behind. It didn't traumatize me. I didn't need counseling. I told a couple of friends about it later, but I didn't make a big deal about it then and I'm not making a big deal about it now. It just felt inappropriate," she wrote.

Allen told CNN she wanted to share her story because she wanted people to know "this happened before he was in a wheelchair."

"He wasn't feeble. He gave what I thought was a really good speech that night -- very statesmanlike," she said.

Allen's sister, who was visiting her in Erie, Pennsylvania,during that time, corroborated her story.

"She came home and said she took this photo with George Bush, which she still has," she said. "We kind of laughed at it at the time. We thought it was creepy."

Women's championship basketball team after winning says No to Trump's offer for them to come to the White House.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Women's College Basketball Rob Goldberg Tony Gutierrez/Associated Press Twitter Logo Featured Columnist
The South Carolina women's basketball team will not be attending the White House celebration of collegiate champions Friday.

According to ESPN, President Donald Trump invited South Carolina, among other teams that won titles last year in various sports, but head coach Dawn Staley declined.

"We did hear from the White House about attending tomorrow's event, but we will not be able to attend," Staley said in a statement. "As I've been saying since our practices for this season started, all of our focus is on the season ahead. The only invitation we are thinking about is to the 2018 NCAA tournament."

South Carolina won its first national championship last April with a win over Mississippi State in the title game. Staley, who spent a decade in the WNBA and won three Olympic gold medals as a player, said in May she would have no problem meeting with Trump if given the opportunity.

By September, however, she had still not received the invite.

"We haven't gotten an invitation yet and that in itself speaks volumes," Staley said, per Doug Feinberg of the Associated Press. "We won before those other teams won their championships. I don't know what else has to happen."

With the 2017-18 season now underway, the coach doesn't believe there is time for any more distractions.

The Gamecocks are currently 3-0 and have a home matchup against Wofford on Sunday.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Trump administration's move to reverse a ban on elephant trophies has elicited strong reactions all over social media, including a number of celebrities invested in preservation.

The government is likely to overturn a ban on hunters bringing trophies of elephants they killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia back to the U.S., reversing an Obama administration rule put in place in 2014, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official confirmed to ABC News.

Elephants are officially an endangered species, but the governments of those countries can allow hunting if there is evidence it benefits conservation of the species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official said the Trump administration has new evidence that has emerged to support reversing the ban.

Elephant populations have declined 6 percent in Zimbabwe since 2001, according to the Great Elephant Census study published last year.

Similar questions about using game hunting to generate money for conservation efforts arose after the controversial killing of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe in 2015.

Ellen DeGeneres dedicated a portion of her show to speaking out against the move by the administration, starting a #BeKindtoElephants hashtag.

"Basically by lifting this ban, he is encouraging Americans to kill elephants," Degeneres said. "Elephants show compassion, sympathy, social intelligence, self-awareness, they're excellent at learning abilities -- all the things I have yet to see in this president."

Chelsea Clinton commented on a link to a Humane Society condemnation of the move, calling the lifting of the ban "infuriating."

British comedian Ricky Gervais, who has previously tackled animal rights issues such as the Yulin Dog Festival, also condemned the Trump administration move. Oscar winner Russell Crowe echoed Gervais, saying "Dear people with no soul, stop shooting elephants."

Trump admin. to reverse Obama's ban on elephant trophies from Africa

The Trump administration plans to allow hunters to bring trophies of elephants they killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia back to the United States, reversing a ban put in place by the Obama administration in 2014, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official confirmed for ABC News today.

Even though elephants are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act, a provision in the act allows the government to give permits to import such trophies if there is evidence that the hunting benefits conservation for that species. The official said the administration has new information from officials in Zimbabwe and Zambia to support reversing the ban.

"Legal, well-regulated sport hunting as part of a sound management program can benefit the conservation of certain species by providing incentives to local communities to conserve the species and by putting much-needed revenue back into conservation," a Fish and Wildlife spokesperson said in a statement.

This change applies only to elephants in those two countries. It prompted questions about using game hunting to generate money for conservation efforts, and similar questions arose after the controversial killing of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe in 2015.

The government has not officially announced this policy change yet, but it was reportedly raised at a wildlife forum in South Africa this week, according to Safari Club International, which filed a lawsuit to block the 2014 ban.

It's unclear how the current political situation in Zimbabwe could affect this decision, but a blog post from the president of the Humane Society of the United States points out that poaching has been a problem in Zimbabwe over the years and that the hunting industry there faces corruption issues.

A notice regarding this reversal will be posted in the Federal Register on Friday with specifics on the new information justifying the change.

The permits will apply to elephants hunted in Zimbabwe from Jan. 21, 2016, to Dec. 31, 2018, and elephants hunted in Zambia during 2016, 2017 and 2018 for applications that meet all other applicable requirements, according to the Fish and Wildlife spokesperson.

Savanna elephant populations declined by 30 percent across 18 countries in Africa from 2007 to 2014, according to the Great Elephant Census published last year, which put their remaining numbers at just over 350,000.

The elephant population declined 6 percent overall in Zimbabwe but dropped by 74 percent within one specific region. Elephants saw "substantial declines along the Zambezi River," in Zambia while other areas of that country were stable, according to the census.

The Fish and Wildlife Service has been talking with wildlife officials in Zimbabwe since the ban was announced in 2014. Since then, Zimbabwe officials have stepped up efforts to combat poaching, established a system to report financial benefit from American hunters and provided more information on how officials establish hunting quotas, according to the text of the federal register notice that will be posted Friday.

The census reported about 82,000 elephants in Zimbabwe. Wildlife officials set annual quotas limiting hunting there to 500 elephants in different areas.

Elephant hunting has been banned in Zambia several times over the years because of declining population but was re-established in 2015 after surveys found a larger population in some areas. Zambia is home to some 22,000 elephants, according to the census.

Tourists may hunt elephants on private game ranches or specified areas in Zambia, many of which are on the outskirts of national parks. Zambian officials carry out anti-poaching efforts and manage elephant hunting through permits and quotas, according to the Federal Register notice. In 2016, 30 elephants were allowed to be killed there as trophies, but the government reported that only 12 males were killed, according to the notice.

Fees paid by hunters are used to fund the country's conservation efforts.

As more restrictions are placed on gun ownership, more people -- and criminals -- could start to manufacture their own, law enforcement experts tell

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As more restrictions are placed on gun ownership, more people -- and criminals -- could start to manufacture their own, law enforcement experts tell ABC News.

The issue of "ghost guns" or guns without serial numbers has been thrust into the national spotlight after California authorities revealed that the man who engaged in a string of shootings earlier this week that left five dead had two firearms that he manufactured at home.

Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston told reporters in a press conference Wednesday afternoon that the two semi-automatic rifles with multi-round clips that gunman Kevin Neal was armed with were illegally manufactured at his home and were not registered.

Tehama County Sheriff via AP

Neal was out on bail on an assault charge he was arrested for in January, and his family said he suffered from a history of mental health issues, such as paranoia. But he was able to find a workaround of a court order that prohibited him from having guns by making them himself, The Associated Press reported.

Johnston said that as gun laws become more restrictive, criminals will begin to build their own. ABC News consultants, former NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and former FBI agent Steve Gomez, said they agree with him.

People are already building firearms or modifying existing firearms in an "unlicensed and illegal manner," Gomez said.

"If lawmakers took steps to make the gun laws more restrictive, those unlicensed home-made firearms would be highly sought after by people and criminals who do not care to comply with the law," Gomez said.

These guns are almost impossible to trace, experts say. Tracing the parts of a homemade firearm could be difficult if there are no serial numbers or registered identifiers designated for those parts, Gomez said.

"That typically is the objective of the manufacturer and end user of the [homemade] firearm -- to produce and own a gun that is untraceable by the authorities," Gomez said.

The tagline for the site ghostguns.com includes the words "unserialized" and "unregistered," while a description says the company "specializes in unregistered weapons build."

Ghost guns pose a threat to society because if someone exhibits behavior indicating the potential to commit violence, law enforcement will not be able to determine if the person possesses a firearm and determine whether he or she has the capability to act out on those violent tendencies, Gomez said.

"Without the ability to check a database to determine if a potentially violent person possesses a firearm, law enforcement may have a more difficult time determining if a person poses a threat to the public, unless provided with specific facts that would justify an investigation and/or enforcement action," Gomez said.

Jae C. Hong/AP

Civilians and especially cops should be worried about ghost guns, Kelly said. When responding to a call, there could be "no record that anyone there has a gun." Although, the same case could be made for illegal guns, too, Kelly added.

In addition, unregulated guns may be unsafe and pose a hazard to the user and the surrounding public because they do not meet the same operating standards of regulated firearms, Gomez said.

In order to attempt to trace ghost guns, authorities can look at monitoring or even regulating materials that may be used to build a homemade firearm in the same manner that they use to closely monitor ingredients that can be used to make explosives, Gomez said.

"However, even with increased monitoring and regulations, those individuals intent on having and using an unlicensed and illegal firearm will always seek other alternatives," Gomez said. "Its law enforcement's job, along with the public's help, to anticipate and respond to those alternatives that can lead to a violent incident as we saw in Tehama County."

Jae C. Hong/AP

While Kelly agrees that ghost guns are a "problem," he said he does not believe that lawmakers are currently in an environment to place regulations on gun parts.

"I don't think we're going to get legislation anytime soon that would effectively stop the shipment of ghost weapons," Kelly said.

Lawmakers, law enforcement and mental health professionals must consider implementing procedures to properly integrate information about someone who has the potential to commit violence, which could lead to "a swift and appropriate" response by authorities, Gomez said. This could be done for someone who has a history of violence, exhibits mental health issues or is threatening someone, especially if that person has access to a firearm that can be used to commit a violent act, he added.

"Detection and prevention should always be the goal," Gomez said.

But, since "there's not even an adequate database in regards to mental health issues," Kelly said he does not believe it is "feasible" to keep gun parts away from people who suffer from mental health problems, especially if they have not been adjudicated to having them.

"I don't see an answer to it," Kelly said.

Rev Jesse Jackson is diagnosis with with Parkinson disease,his family was noticing changes in him about three years ago and could no longer ignore

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Rev. Jesse Jackson says he's been seeking outpatient care for two years for Parkinson's disease and plans to "dedicate" himself to physical therapy.

In a Friday letter to supporters, the 76-year-old says family and friends noticed a change in him about three years ago and he could no longer ignore symptoms.

He says the diagnosis isn't a sign to stop working but a "signal" to make "lifestyle changes" to slow progression of the chronic neurological disorder that causes movement difficulties.

The civil rights icon also released a Northwestern Medicine letter saying he was diagnosed in 2015 and has sought outpatient care.

Jackson runs the Chicago-based Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. He's remained a strong voice in anti-discrimination efforts, including advocating for affordable housing, and been a fixture at protests nationwide.

Jackson declined further comment Friday.

Conservatives lost faith in the mainstream of the media

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Believe me, President Donald Trump didn't invent it. Ever since the advent of "the media" as an industrial complex -- large corporate conglomerates based in coastal cities where many of the ad agencies are -- it's been a left-leaning, urban-minded, somewhat elitist outfit with a blind spot for conservative America.

As the media merged with Hollywood, another bastion of cultural liberalism, it grew even bolder in its disregard for the common man -- the commuting salesman, the farmer, the churchgoer, the truck driver. From 1966's "Is God Dead?" Time magazine cover, to a portrayal of the returning Vietnam veteran as a ticking time bomb, to a newspaper's indiscriminate publishing of law-abiding gun owners' home addresses, the media became a decidedly secular and leftist business.

Today, newsrooms and editorial boards tilt independent, but still with a significant left-right imbalance. A 2014 study of the "American journalist" found that 28% of US journalists claimed to be Democrats versus 7% who claimed to be Republican.

This isn't to say conservatives aren't still nestled within the media. In conservatism's intellectual heyday in the 1950s, voices like Irving Kristol, William F. Buckley and Russell Kirk, along with important publications like Human Events and National Review, helped provide an alternative, if not balanced, voice to the liberal landscape. But even this strain of conservative thought often talked far over the heads of every day traditionalists for whom Zionism, utopianism and F.A. Hayek had little to do with their daily lives.

But in the late-1980s and mid-1990s, something extraordinary happened. Rush Limbaugh's talk show was syndicated across America in 1988. The Drudge Report launched as a weekly email in 1995. And Fox News hit the airwaves in 1996.

In the decades since, conservative media has exploded beyond what Buckley or Kirk could have ever imagined. And not only was conservative media competing, it was corporate. It grew beyond television and took over AM radio. As digital media grew, so too did the conservative footprint. Eventually, it got harder and harder to complain, with such a huge place at the table, about the liberal media.

That doesn't mean we didn't, and usually for good reason. When liberal anchors or editorial boards showed their hands or slammed conservatives as backwards Bible-thumpers who don't believe in evolution or abortion, or maligned otherwise wildly popular points of view for those residing in middle America, we called them out. Fox News personalities and groups like the Media Research Center made cottage industries of just this exercise, routinely blasting the New York Times or NBC.

To this day, religion is still an ill- or under-covered subject, despite the majority of the country being religious. In 2010, I wrote a book called "Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity," which explored this very topic, arguing that Christians were misunderstood, misrepresented and mistreated by many in the mainstream media.

But with Drudge, Limbaugh and Fox flexing their considerable muscles, the conservative skepticism of "the media" became a conservative skepticism of the "liberal media," or as Sarah Palin liked to say, the " Lamestream Media."

Enter Trump. As he faced incoming fire from both sides -- dismayed conservatives at buttoned up outfits like the Weekly Standard and National Review, as well as horrified liberals at both establishment and progressive outlets -- being mad at the liberal media wasn't going to cut it. Suddenly, ALL media was bad, and ALL news was fake.

The constant bashing has worked. Trust in the media is at record lows among Republicans especially, according to Gallup. In fact, in 2016, at the height of the campaign, only 14% of Republicans said they had a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media. And that number was down from 32% the year before.

Trump has bragged about that fact that more conservatives trust him than they do the media. But it's nothing to be proud of. It's something that should deeply trouble everyone, but especially the President of the United States.

A free, strong press has always been, for all its imperfections, the watchdog of the state and a pillar of democracy vital to the health of our nation. Sowing distrust in it the way he regularly does not only creates confusion and chaos, it leads to ill-fated uprisings (like white nationalism), needless paranoia, increased hostilities and a collective sense that no one can be trusted.

That's a horrible thing to want. But if you're Trump and you want to be the only voice of record, sowing distrust in all sorts of institutions -- from the press to Congress to the intelligence community to the military -- is how you consolidate power.

It's a dangerous enterprise, and one that is working far too well. Journalists can help themselves by, simply put, being better at our jobs. Giving Trump less ammunition in the form of unforced errors is crucial. The media must prove it is deserving of the trust it desires. Mistakes, which will happen, must be corrected swiftly.

Instead of willing the news to go in a certain direction, we should wait and see if it actually does. Whataboutism isn't journalism. Neither is "look over here!"

Conservative journalism, in particular, must provide clear-eyed commentary and analysis in the era of Trump. While liberalism is united against a common enemy, conservatives are divided. Some like the President, some like him enough and some like him just because he is not the alternative, Hillary Clinton. With no orienting political direction, the uniting principle among conservatives in media must be truth.

Married science teacher, 22, arrested for sex romp with teen boy student

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A married teacher in Oklahoma was arrested Wednesday, accused of having a sexual relationship with an underage student.

Hunter Day, 22, a science teacher at Yukon High School, was arrested by the Canadian County Sheriff's Department on complaints of second-degree rape, facilitating sexual contact with a minor and possession of child pornography, KWTV reported. She is reportedly married to the school's football coach.

Authorities said they investigated the relationship after being notified by the boy's parents and finding explicit photos and messages on his phone, the report said.

On the day of the arrest, the sheriff's department said that Day and the teen had planned to meet at her house, KWTV reported. Deputies arrived at the residence and reportedly texted the teacher from the boy's phone saying he'd arrived. Day responded to the message saying, "The doors [sic] unlocked as usual," the report said.

When investigators entered the home, Day was sitting on the floor of her living room with candles lit and all of the lights off, authorities said. She was also reportedly wearing a Christmas cat T-shirt and workout shorts.

The teacher confessed to sending the boy illicit "bra and panty" photos and said he'd also sent her photos of his genitals, KWTV reported.

"I'm no longer surprised by the people who commit these crimes, because predators come from all walks of life," Canadian County Sheriff Chris West told the outlet.

"This is a classic case of a serious breach of public trust," he said. "Schoolteachers are entrusted to protect and educate our children, not to engage in an unlawful sexual relationship with them."

According to a statement released on Twitter, administrators from the high school said "the safety and well-being of our students is our number one priority," and there was no indication in Day's record that she would make such a "very poor decision."

The school said it was working with authorities in their investigation and couldn't discuss details of the case, according to the post.

Day was incarcerated at the Canadian County Jail and bond was set for $85,000, KWTV reported.
