Drag Kid “Desmond Is Amazing” Does Video with Convicted Murderer
“Desmond Is Amazing”, the 11-year-old drag kid, was featured on a convicted murderer’s YouTube show in 2017.
One of the original leaders of “Club Kids”, Michael Alig, was convicted of murdering his roommate in 1997 where he was sentenced to 10-20 years in prison. With the help of another roommate, Robert “Freeze” Riggs, and Alig murdered Andre “Angel” Melendez due to overdue drug payment. According to Ranker, “After Riggs knocked Melendez unconscious with multiple blows to the head, Alig allegedly wrapped his hand in a sweatshirt and repeatedly punched the incapacitated young man. According to Riggs, Alig then poured drain cleaner down Melendez’s throat and – with Riggs’s help – used duct tape to seal the 25-year-old’s mouth shut. After killing Melendez, Alig and Riggs placed his corpse in the bathtub, uncertain of what to do the young man’s dead body.” Even more grotesque, nine days after the murder, Alig and Riggs dismembered Melendez body and tossed it into the Hudson River. The pair bragged about the murder to friends and the “Club Kid” community before being arrested. Alig served 17 years and was released from prison in 2014.
Just three years after being released from prison, Desmond Is Amazing, 10, was featured in a YouTube video on Michael Alig’s channel, Peeew!, for being the youngest “Club Kid”. This group is known for their “over-the-top outfits, theatrical personas, and outrageous antics.”
Luckily, Desmond’s mother was in the room while he sat next to the convicted murderer and sipped tea out of little pink cups for some lighthearted conversation on his fashion expertise. Ernie Glam, one of the hosts, states: “you’re 10 so it will take 11 years before you can go to a club”, yet Desmond made that happen much sooner as he recently performed at a New York club at just 11-years-old.
Desmond’s mom, Wendy Napole, has received over $2500 on GoFundMe account that is no longer active. Not old enough to run his own Instagram account, Desmond is being exploited for fame and money by none other than his mother.

Virginia School District Stops Celebrating Dr. Seuss on Read Across America Day Because of the “Racial Undertones” in His Books
It’s all so tiresome.
The Loudoun County School District in northern Virginia has stopped celebrating Dr. Seuss during Read Across America Day because of the “strong racial undertones” in some of his books.
“Research in recent years has revealed strong racial undertones in many books written/illustrated by Dr. Seuss. Examples include anti-Japanese American political cartoons and cartoons depicting African Americans for sale captioned with offensive language,” the district wrote in a statement.
“Given this research, and LCPS’ focus on equity and culturally responsive instruction, LCPS provided this guidance to schools during the past couple of years to not connect Read Across America Day exclusively with Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Dr. Seuss and his books are no longer the emphasis of ‘Read Across America Day’ in Loudoun County Public Schools,” the statement added.
To be clear, this does not mean that Loudoun County School District is outright banning Dr. Seuss’ books. They are still available for children to read in their libraries and classrooms.
Read Across America Day is celebrated every year on March 2, the day of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, and many schools across the country celebrate National Reading Month every March.
The National Education Association, which created National Reading Month and Read Across America Day, started to distance themselves from explicit promotion of Dr. Seuss in 2017 and now promotes non-white authors who write books about “racial justice,” “inclusivity,” and so on.
Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel, worked as a political cartoonist in addition to illustrating and writing children’s books. Interestingly enough, Geisel was a passionate supporter of FDR and a lifelong liberal Democrat.
