MISSOULA, MONTANA – A Helena man appeared in court Tuesday on allegations of sexually exploiting children and receiving child pornography in Missoula and Lewis and Clark counties

A criminal complaint alleges Joshua Dean Fish, 27, committed the crimes of “sexual exploitation of a child and receipt of child pornography.”

If convicted of the most serious crime, Fish faces 15 years to 40 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and five years to life of supervised release.

Fish was detained pending further proceedings.

According to the complaint and affidavit, an investigation began in January when the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Office received a report of suspicious online activity regarding a minor teenage female victim. The investigation led to additional minor female victims. Victims reported that they were promised monetary payments in exchange for photographs of themselves in various stages of undress and nudity through SnapChat, a social media application. The victims reported that the suspect used PayPal to submit payments to the victims, used the fictitious name, Grant Holman, and liked to be called Mr. Fish or Mr. Fishy.

The investigation led to a search of Fish’s residence in Gilbert, AZ, on June 18. Law enforcement seized a cell phone, a laptop computer and numerous hard drives. After examining the electronics that were seized during the search of Fish’s residence, agents discovered hundreds of thousands of images and videos of child pornography, the complaint and affidavit allege. The complaint and affidavit further allege that Fish used, coerced and exploited the victims into producing sexually explicit images of themselves. Fish lived in Missoula and Helena until about June 2018, when he moved to Arizona.

The FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Office and Gilbert (AZ) Police Department are investigating the case.

Dan Ball’s #GETREAL segment dishes some real talk about cancel culture and the n-word.

In yet another example of the left’s harebrained crusade to erase American history, a statue of Abraham Lincoln in San Francisco was defaced amid innuendo that the president most famous for emancipating slaves was racist.

The vandalism occurred on Dec. 26 at San Francisco’s City Hall. That’s the 158th anniversary of a fateful day in 1862 when 38 Sioux warriors were hanged following a bloody clash with white settlers in Minnesota in an event known as the Sioux Uprising, according to Britannica.

Freelance journalist Christopher Beale posted photos of the defaced statue, which showed Lincoln‘s face spray-painted a blood-red hue.

Why is Lincoln in #SanFrancisco ‘bloody’ today?

It has to do with his role in the largest mass execution in US history. A story that we were not taught in school.

In an accompanying Medium blog post, Beale recounted what he saw. Basically, he felt the vandalism was justified.

“I was walking by City Hall Sunday morning when I saw it — the statue of the 16th president, Abraham Lincoln had its face painted red,” Beale wrote. “The letters of his last name were also painted red. As of yet, we don’t know who vandalized the statue, but history may give us a clue as to why.”

Beale opined that the vandalism of the Lincoln statue was apparent payback for the executions of 38 Sioux men, who were accused of stealing food from a white farmer and then murdering five members of his family during a dispute over the alleged theft, according to History.

The incident escalated into a brutal battle after the Dakota Indian tribe (commonly known as the Sioux) reportedly declared war on the settlement. When the battle was over, 150 Sioux Indians died, while more than 500 white settlers were killed.

Over 300 Sioux warriors were tried, convicted and sentenced to death in 1862 by a military tribunal.

However, thanks to Abraham Lincoln’s intervention, only 38 who were convicted were hanged.

“President Lincoln personally reviewed each case, ultimately providing a reprieve to all but 38 of the condemned, who Lincoln believed were guilty of murder or rape,” Beale wrote.

It was the largest mass execution in U.S. history.

The latest act of vandalism in San Francisco follows a string of similar instances of property destruction perpetrated by antifa and Black Lives Matter activists claiming to be protesting “systemic racism” in a nation that twice elected a black president.

It really doesn’t matter why vandals deface or torch taxpayer-funded property or statues of historical figures like Christopher Columbus or George Washington. You can always find a way to rationalize any crime.

What is alarming is the left’s ongoing attempts to rewrite or erase history by destroying statues or censoring news they don’t like. Ultimately, this reckless cancel culture will backfire on them.

In November, a California school district banned five classic American novels from their classrooms, claiming they espoused “racism.”

The censored books were “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain, “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck, “The Cay” by Theodore Taylor and “Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry” by Mildred D. Taylor

In a comical irony, one of the banned books was written by Mildred Taylor, who’s the great-granddaughter of a former slave.

Let this sink in: The left’s deranged attempts to stamp out “racism” resulted in them canceling a black female author with personal ties to slavery. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
