News about Jessica Long

Four Team USA swimmers - including Jessica Long, one of the most successful Paralympians of all time - face a ban and loss of earnings after appearing to question the disability of a teammate on social media. Long - who has won 18 career gold medals across six Paralympic Games - was barred from attending the closing ceremony in Paris alongside Gia Pergolini, Julia Gaffney and Anastasia Pagonis. They face several other punishments, too, pending appeal. Long and Co would be barred from competing for the national team until next spring or attending Team USA's trip to Washington DC. Their stipends would also be withheld. 

Team USA celebrated the Olympics being just 100 days out on Wednesday with a lighting ceremony at Empire State Building. Eight athletes gathered at the famous site with barely more than three months until the Paris games, with the skyscraper lit up in red, white and blue in honor of America. Before the Team USA representatives took to the world-famous observation deck, a model of the Empire State Building was also lit up as para archer Matt Stutzman and sailor Daniela Moroz 'flipped the switch.'

Bill 3053 was introduced by Assemblymember Ash Kalra, 52, to encourage children to participate in county fairs without fear of them being sent to death. Children can now withdraw their entries any time before offsite transportation is allowed, and bidders will be allowed to choose their animal winners live rather than as slabs of meat. The plan follows the brutal slaughter of Cedar the goat by Jessica Long's daughter, who tried to enter it into the Shasta District Fair's junior livestock auction but later changed her mind. The fair turned down the family's offer to remove and sell Cedar, but the woman bravely stole the goat back before it was released to the buyer.

The massive balloons were blown up between midday and 6 p.m. along Central Park West, a spectacular display that takes about 90 minutes to complete. Beagle Scout Snoopy, Blue Cat & Chugs, Kung Fu Panda's Po, Leo the lizard, Monkey D Luffy, Pillsbury Doughboy, and Uncle Dan are among the new balloon giants to join the line-up this year.

Michael Schoenfeld and his partner, Det, are residents of Daytona Beach, Florida. Sgt. Jessica Long, who reportedly jailed and handcuffed their 3 1/2-year-old son for two days last October after he pooped his pants, according to a Daytona Beach News-Journal video showing Schoenfeld bragging to the Department of Children and Families about teaching the boy a lesson. It's also unknown if Lt. Michael Schoenfeld and his partner, Det. Sgt. Jessica Long, did not face discipline for the occurrence.

In April 2022, Jessica Long's family purchased Cedar the goat, a seven-month-old white Boer, and the animal soon became a bond to her nine-year-old daughter, who fed and cared for it every day. However, the family sold Cedar into the Shasta District Fair's junior livestock auction on June 24, 2022, where the animals are sold off to be used as meat. However, the Long family had already changed their minds and wanted to remove Cedar from the auction long before it began. The fair denied the request and sold it, but the mother bravely took the goat back before it was handed over to the buyer. What ensued was a wild goat hunt, with officers traveling hundreds of miles around the county to retrieve the bird by a search warrant before handing it to people who are believed to have killed Cedar and roasting him on a barbecue for their guests.
