Video allegedly shows female HS teacher wearing 'Jesus Loves You' shirt while having sex with student: Warrants

2 weeks 2 days ago


A Georgia teacher accused of molesting six high school students allegedly was seen in a cellphone video wearing a "Jesus Loves You" shirt while having sex with a student, newly released warrants reveal.

As Blaze News previously reported, 25-year-old Maris Nichols was arrested May 8. Alexander High School in Douglas County, where Maris was a biology teacher, hired her three years ago.

At least 27 search warrants have been executed in the investigation, and detectives sought evidence from cell phones, Snapchat, Ring camera video, and school-issued technology, WXIA said.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in May that Nichols was hit with 13 charges, including six counts of improper sexual contact, four counts of grooming of a minor for sexual offense, two counts of child molestation, and tampering with evidence.

Nichols was released from jail on a $74,000 bond.

Nichols was arrested a second time on May 21, according to WXIA-TV.

The Times-Georgian reported that a judge ordered Nichols to be held under house arrest except for medical appointments, religious services, and legal consultations. The judge said Nichols also must wear an ankle monitor, undergo a mental evaluation, avoid contact with minors not related to her, and stay away from the school.

Nichols has been accused of committing sex crimes against six alleged victims, all of them teenagers.

WSB-TV said Nichols had sex with students in a classroom, in a closet, and in one student’s truck while parked at a local golf course.

WSB also reported that a warrant was served to collect "genetic evidence and fingerprints" from two teens and obtain surveillance video from St. Andrews Golf Course allegedly showing a "rendezvous" between Nichols and a teen.

The New York Post reported that Nichols "engaged in sexual activity in a Hummer and at a golf course, sent raunchy images to students, and engaged in sexting with teens."

WANF-TV reported that Nichols had sexual intercourse with a student inside a school closet on April 23 and inside a car on May 2.

Fox News reported that Nichols sent text messages to two male students "describing sex acts she wanted them to perform on her, and sent nude photos to a female student and encouraged her to watch the movie 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'"

Nichols — a graduate of the evangelical Christian college Liberty University, the Post said — also allegedly wore a "Jesus Loves You" shirt in a video showing her having sex with a student.

WXIA, citing warrants, reported that state investigators downloaded the cell phone of a student who admitted having sex with Nichols and discovered multiple videos on it. WXIA said one of those videos allegedly shows Nichols wearing a light-yellow sweatshirt with the words "Jesus Loves You" across the back "while engaged in a sexual act."

Investigators added to Atlanta News First that among "inappropriate messages" sent from Nichols’ phone to several students was a "video of the teacher having sex with a student while wearing a sweater that says Jesus loves you." Atlanta News First said video of those sexual encounters began to circulate among several students.

WSB said a “Jesus Loves You” sweater worn by the teacher in a video showing her having sex with a student was requested in a search warrant.

At least 27 search warrants have been executed in the investigation, and detectives sought evidence from cell phones, Snapchat, Ring camera video, and school-issued technology, WXIA said.

In addition, WSB reported that newly filed search warrants suggest some students may have blackmailed Nichols over her allegedly owning and operating an OnlyFans account.

Citing investigators, WAGA-TV indicated students were said to have threatened to expose Nichols' alleged OnlyFans account unless she gave them favorable grades in her class.

The Douglas County School System said it was "deeply troubled by allegations against an individual associated with one of our schools."

WAGA previously reported that Nichols also has been a "player personnel director" for the high school football program.

Nichols was not listed Monday among the staff on the high school's website.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

Liz Wheeler: Alleged LA election fraud is Trump’s chance to deliver ‘justice’

2 weeks 2 days ago


The controversy surrounding the recent Los Angeles mayoral election could become one of the most consequential political battles of President Trump’s second term — and BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler believes it’s time for the president to do something about it.

“The Democrats have in a chokehold the election system. They have taken it away. They have stolen the election system from the people, and it is now in their control. So the outcome of these elections is essentially predetermined,” she begins.

And Republicans, Wheeler says, “have a very big, daunting job to clean up our election systems.”

“The American people voted for Trump because they want justice, because we want justice for all of the things that were done to us,” she explains, pointing out that the stolen election in Los Angeles is now a “golden opportunity” for Trump to take action.


“And you should do that because it’s the right thing to do. You should do that because it’s your constitutional duty to make sure that we have free and fair elections,” she adds.

And if Trump does take action after the outcome of the Los Angeles election, Wheeler predicts his base support will “balloon” and “increase exponentially.”

“That energy will come roaring back if you pursue justice in the L.A. elections. What will happen is, you will have enormous midterm turnout because nothing motivates the base like justice does,” she says.

“And this time, this is different than 2020. This time we have actual evidence that crimes were committed. We have evidence of how the Democrats stole this election,” she continues, explaining that there’s proof of election fraud via video.

In the videos, which Wheeler plays, L.A.'s “homeless” tell reporters that they were paid to cast votes for Democrats.

“This is not speculation. The fact that the majority of the fraud that happened happened on Skid Row with these 43,000 drug addicts who the left calls homeless, but we know they’re addicted, most of them,” Wheeler says.

“What the Democrats did and are doing is wrong,” she says, adding, “but it is also a golden opportunity. And for this, Spencer Pratt seems to understand, and I’m very appreciative of that.”

Jimmy Kimmel picks host to replace him for a bit — and she's a vitriolic Trump-hater

2 weeks 2 days ago


Jimmy Kimmel announced that he will be replaced this summer with a rotating roster of hosts that includes one histrionic hater of President Donald Trump.

Kimmel said Rosie O'Donnell will be one of the hosts to take over the show as he takes a traditional two-month break for the summer.

'It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well.'

"We have assembled a potent group of hosts to fill in for me, beginning with Tiffany Haddish, Colman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, Jelly Roll," said Kimmel on Thursday.

"And as a special treat for our commander in chief, I asked one of his all-time favorites, Rosie O’Donnell, to be here to keep the hits coming," he added.

O'Donnell and Trump have attacked each other verbally since before he became president, and his insults against her have been used by opponents to accuse him of misogyny.

One of his most famous jabs came during the first debate for the presidential Republican primary in 2015, when he interrupted moderator Megyn Kelly.

"You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals," said Kelly.

"Only Rosie O'Donnell!" said Trump to loud applause and laughter.

"For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell," Kelly responded when the laughter subsided.

In March, O'Donnell said she was leaving America for Ireland with her youngest child, Clay, and would return when all citizens have equal rights. She has said that the 12-year-old identifies as nonbinary.

"I was never someone who thought I would move to another country. That's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are," she said.

"It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political," she added. "When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back."

'Game the system': Ilhan Omar's alleged net worth plummets amid intense scrutiny over her finances

2 weeks 2 days ago


Rep. Ilhan Omar, a radical Minnesota Democrat who has in recent years been accused of immigration-related fraud, is facing renewed scrutiny over her finances in the wake of a new filing claiming that she and her current husband, former Democratic consultant Tim Mynett, might have a negative net worth.

Republicans remain dissatisfied with the explanation provided by Omar's office — that the dramatic fluctuations in the congresswoman's alleged net worth is the result of an "accounting error" that has since been rectified.

'Voters see right through the corrupt lies of Ilhan Omar.'

Riches

The Somalia-born ethno-nationalist raised eyebrows last year with a financial disclosure report claiming that in 2024 — the same year that the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C., and the DOJ's public integrity unit reportedly launched an investigation into the congresswoman's finances — she and her husband held assets of between $6 million and $30 million.

The couple's sudden fortune was linked in the filing to Mynett's venture-capital management firm, Rose Lake Capital LLC, as well as to his now-defunct winery, eStCru LLC.

In addition to contradicting Omar's previous assertion that she was "not a millionaire," the May 2025 filing prompted House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (Ky.) and other Republicans to question "how her husband accumulated so much wealth over the past two years."

After all, she reported assets valued at no more than $208,000 in 2023, and a year earlier, Rose Lake Capital reportedly had only $42.44 in its bank account.

"There is no way such wealth could have been accumulated, legally, while being paid the salary of a politician," President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Jan. 22.

The congresswoman subsequently filed an amended disclosure for 2024 claiming that the value of the assets she and her husband held was between $18,004 and $95,000. The Wall Street Journal highlighted that in the amended disclosure filed on March 26, Mynett's businesses were shown as having no value once liabilities were factored in.

"The amended disclosure confirms what we've said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire," Jacklyn Rogers, a spokeswoman for Omar, stated at the time. "The congresswoman amended her disclosures voluntarily as soon as the discrepancy was identified."

Rags

Days before Vice President JD Vance claimed last month that Omar was under investigation by the Justice Department, the foreign-born congresswoman filed her financial disclosure for fiscal year 2025.

According to the new filing first detailed by the New York Post, Mynett made no income last year from Rose Lake Capital.

The only money Mynett allegedly earned last year was $201 to $1,000 from eStCru, which filed for termination in April — roughly one week after Omar filed her amended financial disclosure stating the winery was effectively worthless.

Omar claimed that the total value of her and her husband's assets last year was somewhere in the range of $20,000 to $125,000 and that their liabilities — student loans and credit card debt — were between $30,000 and $100,000. On the basis of Omar's financial allegations, her net worth is between -$80,000 and $95,000.

A spokesperson for Omar told Blaze News in a statement, "The amended disclosure confirms what we've said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire."

"The original filing was based on incomplete information from Mr. Mynett's businesses' accountants in good faith and deference to professional judgment. It listed assets without liabilities, and it significantly overstated her husband’s net worth," the spokesperson continued. "The accounting error created a misleading picture of far greater wealth. The congresswoman amended her disclosures voluntarily as soon as the discrepancy was identified. The amended disclosure is now complete and accurate."

Delanie Bomar, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, told the Post, "Voters see right through the corrupt lies of Ilhan Omar."

"Omar has spent her entire career covering up Democrat-enabled fraud that cost taxpayers billions, so it's no surprise that she would do the same for her husband," Bomar continued.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) stated, "Ilhan Omar and her husband need to be held accountable for their sketchy financial disclosures. They're clearly lying and trying to game the system."
