Room behind bathroom mirror led to Ruthie Mae McCoy’s 1987 murder
A TikTok video that went viral this week for revealing an eerie portal between two apartments has prompted another chilling revelation involving bathroom mirrors and murder.
In the creepy clip posted on Thursday, the New York City renter Samantha Hartsoe shares that she felt a cool draft from behind her bathroom mirror. Intrigued, she decided to take down the mirror to investigate the breeze, and found a gaping hole leading into a mysteriously empty room.
“Seriously never would I have expected to find this … and I documented all of it,” Hartsoe wrote in a caption for the first clip, which has drawn 9 million views so far.
In a four-part series on Hartsoe’s TikTok channel, she is seen gearing up with a face mask and head lamp for an expedition into the dilapidated space — bringing a hammer with her for protection. When a friend, heard in the background of one video, tells Hartsoe she’s “holding it wrong,” she retorts, “Is there a wrong way to hold a hammer to kill somebody? No.”
Thankfully, the hammer wasn’t needed on this occasion; Hartsoe made it out of the apparently deserted adjacent apartment alive and unscathed. But a similar story dating back to the 1980s tells of a tragic ending to a mirror mystery, as followers of the spooky saga have since revealed.
“A woman named ruthie mae mccoy was murdered in chicago in the 80s by someone who came into her apartment through her bathroom mirror, the candyman movie is allegedly loosely based on it. lawsuit!!!” said @afroelven on Twitter, followed by a link to a 1987 article found on the Chicago Reader, which tells the complete story of McCoy: a woman who was murdered by someone who crawled through her bathroom mirror.
Journalist Steve Bogira, who wrote the original piece, has also suggested that the McCoy murder inspired the 1992 “Candyman” film.
Indeed, there are several parallel elements between McCoy’s murder and “Candyman,” such as the fact that the film also takes place in Chicago, in a public housing complex of a similar layout and demographic as McCoy’s. While the horror flick references the notorious Cabrini-Green complex in Chi-town, the real-life mirror murder took place at the Grace Abbott Homes, not far from Cabrini-Green.
The “Candyman” protagonist, who investigates the site of the bathroom-based killings in the movie, also befriends a women bearing a familiar name: Anne-Marie McCoy.
Whether or not our TikTok heroine is in grave danger is unclear, but Hartsoe stated in her final installment that she plans to have a “really fun phone call” with her landlord.
In the meantime, godspeed ye bathroom defenders!

Trump Criticizes Biden as Border Crisis Escalates
Former President Donald Trump excoriated President Joe Biden on Friday over the worsening crisis on the southern border, calling his successor’s leadership “disastrous.”
“Our border is now totally out of control thanks to the disastrous leadership of Joe Biden,” Trump wrote in a statement released on March 5 through an intermediary.
“Our great Border Patrol and ICE agents have been disrespected, demeaned, and mocked by the Biden Administration,” Trump added, referring to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
“A mass incursion into the country by people who should not be here is happening on an hourly basis, getting worse by the minute. Many have criminal records, and many others have and are spreading covid,” he wrote, referring to COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
Trump issued that statement as the Biden administration struggles to contain a deepening crisis on the border. The latest illegal alien influx was triggered by the undoing of several key Trump immigration policies designed to discourage border crossings.
“We don’t take our advice or counsel from former President Trump on immigration policy, which was not only inhumane but ineffective over the last four years. We will chart our own path forward including treating children with humanity and respect and ensuring their safety when they cross our borders,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday.
Biden told reporters on Tuesday that the border situation did not amount to a crisis.
“We’ll be able to handle it, God willing,” the president said.
The number of illegal crossings has steadily increased since the presidential election in November, particularly by unaccompanied minors. The Biden administration opened overflow shelters to handle the influx and has begun to release minors to relatives and sponsors in the United States to clear space.
The Trump administration used its public health authority to expel crossing minors, a policy that both stemmed the tide of illegal aliens and deterred further crossings. The Biden administration said it would discontinue the practice. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on March 1, questioning the rationale for axing the policy, citing recent reports about illegal aliens who tested positive for the CCP virus after crossing the border into the United States.
“Refusing to use the authorities available to law enforcement during a global pandemic creates unsafe conditions for Border Patrol agents and the broader public, as well as for the children traveling to the border,” Johnson wrote. “Not surprisingly, it is also resulting in a surge at the southwest border that our facilities and infrastructure are not able to handle.”
In the brief statement, Trump also decried the temporary enforcement freeze which has suspended nearly all deportation proceedings, including those for aliens with criminal records.
“Interior enforcement has been shut down—criminals that were once promptly removed by our Administration are now being released back onto the street to commit heinous and violent crimes,” Trump said. “ICE officers are desperate to remove these convicted criminals, but Biden won’t let them.”

Number of migrant children crossing the border on pace to shatter all-time record
Members of the Domestic Policy Council were set to tell President Biden Tuesday that the number of migrant children who cross the southern border this year is on pace to exceed an all-time record — by 45 percent — citing unreleased data from the Department of Homeland Security.
In a presentation made up of nearly 40 slides obtained by Axios, the DPC cites data from DHS and the Department of Health and Human Services to warn that the Biden administration is 20,000 beds short of what it needs to properly house the 117,000 unaccompanied child migrants expected to cross the border this year.
Despite establishing multiple new tent-style shelters and loosening COVID-19 restrictions, the DCP is telling Biden that the administration will fall short of its needs by a couple thousand.
The replacement of former President Donald Trump, who maintained a hard line on immigration, with Biden, who has undone some of his predecessor’s key border initiatives, has set off a new caravan to the US border of Central American and Mexican migrants, including thousands of unescorted children.
In his first month, Biden ended construction of Trump’s signature US-Mexico border wall and began to end the “Remain in Mexico” policy under which about 71,000 Central American asylum applicants were awaiting rulings in Mexico. He issued an order affirming the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which gives work permits and protection from deportation to people brought illegally to the US as minors, and proposed legislation that would create a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the US.
The White House declined to comment Tuesday when reached by The Post. A spokesperson for DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
During Tuesday’s White House press briefing, press secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the numbers, as well as DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ insistence a day earlier that there was not a crisis at the border.
“Well, I’ll leave that to the Secretary of Homeland Security to define,” Psaki began, “He said it was a challenge, it is a challenge.
“We have more than 7,000 unaccompanied kids who have come into the United States, and that is certainly a lot of children that we are trying to treat humanely and safely and processed through the system as quickly as we can,” she continued, calling it “not easy.”
She went on to note that the president was regularly briefed by the DPC.
While claiming that the border was not facing a crisis, Mayorkas said while speaking to reporters Monday that the problems the agency did face should be blamed on the previous administration.
“Let me explain to you why [fixing the broken immigration system] is hard and why it is going take time. I think it is important to understand what we have inherited because it defines the situation as it currently stands. Entire systems are not rebuilt in a day or in a few weeks,” he began. “To put it succinctly, the prior administration dismantled our nation’s immigration system in its entirety.”
Mayorkas’ comments came before reporters had been given the chance to ask any questions, making it clear he was likely expecting questions on the burgeoning crisis at the US-Mexico border, a crisis that has erupted in the month since Biden was sworn in.
When taking questions, he was also asked by an ABC News reporter why he was told members of the press would be not be able to tour migrant facilities in Texas. The reporter had been told the administration would not allow such tours due to coronavirus restrictions.
Mayorkas replied that he would look into the matter.
Pressed by the Daily Caller, the Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) affirmed, “The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is not hosting media tours of unaccompanied children (UC) facilities currently due to the COVID-19 pandemic,. If media tours resume, we will send a media advisory.”

Comment: It is almost impossible to believe that in the first 45 days of the Biden Administration, they have created nothing short of a border crisis. An uncontrolled border of human trafficking & suffering.

Going to share a story
for those who know, be patient for those who may not
it’s a story about a reasonable man driven to do unreasonable things.
Marvin Heemeyer was a man who owned a muffler shop in Granby Colorado. The city council ordained to approve the construction of a concrete factory in the lot across from Marvin’s shop. In the process this blocked the only access road to the muffler shop. Marvin petitioned to stop the construction to no avail. Petitioned to construct a new access road, and even bought the heavy machinery to do so himself. Denied.
The concrete factory went up in disregard to the ramifications on Marvin’s business. To add insult to injury, the factory construction disconnected the muffler shop from the city sewage lines. An indifferent city government then chose to fine Marvin for this.
His business and livelihood were in ruin. Rather than lie down and die, Marvin chose to fight back. Over the course of a year and a half Marvin secretly outfitted the bulldozer he bought to save his business with three foot thick steel and concrete armor, camera systems guarded with bulletproof glass.
On June 4th 2004 Marvin Heemeyer lowered the armored shell over top of himself, entombing himself inside the Killdozer to make his last stand.
He burst fourth from the walls of his muffler shop and straight into the concrete factory that ruined his business. Over the course of the next several hours Marvin drove his Killdozer through 13 buildings owned by those officials that had wronged him, including the city council building itself.
Swat teams swarmed the dozer, but it proved immune to small arms fire and even explosives. Another piece of heavy machinery was even brought out to fight the Killdozer, but it too fell to the dozers righteous fury.
In the end, Marvin’s Killdozer became trapped in one of the buildings it was built to destroy. Marvin chose to take his life, the only life he took that day.
Today we think about Killdozer day and Marvin Heemeyer,
A man driven to the brink who chose to fight back against an indifferent system.
From notes left behind after his passing:
“I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable.”

The Supreme court issued a 5-3 ruling in Pereida v. Wilkinson, a case about whether an immigrant living in the country without authorization can seek relief from deportation for a minor crime. The court ruled that the noncitizen bears the burden to prove he is eligible for relief.
Clemente Pereida entered the United States without authorization nearly 25 years ago. In order to obtain employment at a cleaning company, Pereida allegedly presented a false Social Security card. He was subsequently convicted of a misdemeanor for attempting to commit the Nebraska crime labeled “criminal impersonation.” Pereida was sentenced to a fine of $100 and no jail time.
Illegal aliens who have a long history in the United States and close U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family members are eligible to apply for a benefit that would cancel their deportation based on hardship to these relatives. This benefit, however, is not available to individuals without immigration status who have been convicted of a “crime of moral turpitude” under section 240A(b)(1)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Nebraska’s criminal impersonation law includes several distinct offenses. Those versions that require intent to deceive are considered crimes involving moral turpitude under federal law and trigger immigration consequences. The other versions do not. Pereida’s criminal record, however, does not make clear which version of the offense he was convicted of.
The government argued that the statutory burden of proof placed on the immigrant seeking relief applies to the provision covering disqualifying crimes, and because Pereida could not prove that he was not convicted of a crime of moral turpitude, he was ineligible for relief. Consequently, an immigration judge could not consider the hardship that his deportation would have on his U.S. citizen child. Pereida argued that this rule breaks with the court’s precedent on how to determine whether state criminal convictions trigger immigration consequences under federal law.
Neil Gorsuch, authoring the majority opinion, wrote, “The Immigration and Nationality Act expressly requires individuals seeking relief from lawful removal orders to prove all aspects of their eligibility. That includes proving they do not stand convicted of a disqualifying criminal offense.”
It has been part of American jurisprudence for many years that non-citizens do not enjoy all the same benefits as citizens. This ruling reaffirms that postiton.

Hundreds and hundreds of small boats pulled by countless pickups and SUVs from across the South are headed for Houston. Almost all of them driven by men. They’re using their own property, sacrificing their own time, spending their own money, and risking their own lives for one reason: to help total strangers in desperate need.
Most of them are by themselves. Most are dressed like the redneck duck hunters and bass fisherman they are. Many are veterans. Most are wearing well-used gimme-hats, t-shirts, and jeans; and there’s a preponderance of camo. Most are probably gun owners, and most probably voted for Trump.
These are the people the Left loves to hate, the ones pedo-jo mocks. The ones mad maxine says to get in thier faces the ones who government wants disarmed while

Their reward is the tears and the hugs and the smiles from the terrified people they help. They’ll deliver one boatload, and then go back for more.
When disaster strikes, it’s what men do. Real men. Heroic men. American men. And then they’ll knock back a few shots, or a few beers with like-minded men they’ve never met before, and talk about fish, or ten-point bucks, or the benefits of hollow-point ammo, or their F-150.
the next time they hear someone talk about “the patriarchy”, or “male privilege”
