A Hollywood producer was arrested Thursday for allegedly running “an extensive and far-reaching” prostitution ring — which he hid for years using his moviemaking company, federal prosecutors said.
Dillon Jordan — who backed the 2018 Maggie Gyllenhaal drama “The Kindergarten Teacher” — is accused of pimping women to Johns across the US for at least seven years, between 2010 and 2017, according to an indictment filed in the Southern District of New York.
Jordan, 49, allegedly used his movie production company and a supposed California-based event-planning firm to hide the proceeds from the sex-sales, according to the court papers
The arrest of a hate-spewing homeless man Thursday for his bloody knife attack on a gay man did nothing to calm the still-terrified victim’s nerves.
Victim Milton Lobos Salguero, 34, said he was both lucky to be alive and plagued by horrifying nightmares after the July 6 attack where a suspect with 90 prior arrests began spouting homophobic slurs before gashing him across the face. Ramon Castro, free at the time of the attack despite a pair of late June arrests, allegedly called the victim a “Latino [expletive]” before slicing Salguero’s face.(Snip)Salguero immigrated 15 years ago from El Salvador, where a childhood rape
President Joe Biden on Tuesday nominated former Sen. Jeff Flake to serve as ambassador to Turkey, extending a high-profile diplomatic post to the anti-Trump Republican.Flake praised the Biden administration’s “strong, experienced and capable team representing U.S. interests abroad,” and nodded to the significance of selecting him for such a strategically important post.“With this nomination, the Biden Administration reaffirms the best tradition of American foreign policy and diplomacy: the credo that partisan politics should stop at the water’s edge,” Flake said in a statement. “U.S. foreign policy can and should be bipartisan. That is my belief as well, and my commitment.”
Inflation has risen substantially since President Joe Biden assumed office in January, but Sean Parnell, a U.S. military vet and candidate for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, says that topic appears to be the next one to fall prey to social media censorship.“Big Tech & their partisan leftwing ‘fact checkers’ don’t care about the truth, they only care about protecting Biden & the Dems,” he posted on Twitter along with a graphic showing price increases for a basket of commodities depicting a “missing context” label.“We’re seeing rising gas prices & record inflation because of Joe’s 2 trillion dollar spending boondoggle & his decision to cripple our energy sector,”

The head of America's second-largest teacher's union walked back her criticism of Florida's governor less than 24 hours after she said 'millions' would die because of his COVID-19 'ignorance.' Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, retweeted a Washington Post article about anti-Dr. Anthony Fauci merchandise being sold on the Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis's official website.'Disgusting. Millions of Floridians are going to die for Ron DeSantis’ ignorance and he’s choosing to profit from it. He doesn’t care about Floridians; he cares about furthering his own cruel agenda,' Weingarten tweeted.
Vladimir Putin personally ordered a top secret spy operation to help a 'mentally unstable' Donald Trump win the 2016 election, according to documents the left-leaning Guardian newspaper says were leaked from the Kremlin – in a report President Trump calls 'disgusting fiction.' The Russian strongman held a meeting with his spy chiefs and senior ministers in January 2016 where they agreed to support Trump - who was then fighting to be the Republican nominee - in order to achieve Moscow's objectives of sowing 'social turmoil' in the US and weakening the American presidency, the papers suggest. Asked for comment, former President Donald Trump tore into the report
German Chancellor Angela Merkel wouldn't take the bait and compare President Joe Biden to his predecessor, President Donald Trump, but she did express relief during a Thursday press conference that the U.S. had again embraced 'multilateralism' and rejoined the Paris climate accord. 'Today it was a very friendly exchange,' she said when asked to talk about her experience going back four American administrations as she'll soon retire from political life. Merkel was especially asked about the differences in working with Trump and Biden. 'Any German chancellor has a vested interest to talk and that's very much in the vested of Germany to work and talk together with any American president,'
Wikipedia can no longer be trusted as a source of unbiased information since the online encyclopedia has left-leaning volunteers cut out any edits meant to provide balance, according to the site’s co-founder.Larry Sanger, 52, co-founded Wikipedia in 2001 alongside Jimmy Wales, said the crowdsourcing project has betrayed its original mission by reflecting the views of the ‘establishment.’He said he agreed with the assessment that ‘teams of Democratic-leaning volunteers’ remove content that isn’t to their liking, including information about scandals linked to President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
Police arrested Congressional Black Caucus chair Joyce Beatty on Thursday afternoon after she led pro-voting rights protesters into a Senate office building. Officers moved in as Beatty, 71, and a handful of other activists, including Women's March co-founders Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, chanted, 'Fight for justice,' and, 'End the filibuster.'Capitol Police later said they had arrested nine people for 'demonstrating in a prohibited area on Capitol Grounds.'Beatty said her arrest was just the start.'I stand in solidarity with Black women and allies across the country in defense of our constitutional right to vote,' she said in a statement.
It is now over a year and a half since we first learned of a new disease that proceeded to spread worldwide and wreak havoc on our civilization. Actually, it wasn't the disease that caused such destruction, but rather the heavy-handed actions by governments across the globe to employ questionable measures they justified as necessary to protect their populations.
We can now employ hindsight to see what worked and what didn't and learn what we can. As serious as the disease itself was, in many ways, the responses were far more severe, with longer-lasting consequences. If we do not learn our lessons now,
The onslaught of tell-all books on the Trump administration has begun, and they are guaranteed to drive the propagandistic news cycle for the foreseeable future as the establishment is now engaged in a ferocious effort to beat back another White House run by the ex-POTUS in 2024.One book in particular is a real doozy, chock full of Democrat lunacy and conspiracy theories that portray Trump as a dangerous megalomaniac.According to ‘I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year’ which was penned by Washington Post smear merchants Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, Speaker Nancy Pelosi went to Joint Chiefs Of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County officials released a new Health Officer Order Thursday requiring masks indoors regardless of vaccination status. The new order will go into effect on Saturday night at 11:59 p.m. According to officials, exceptions will apply similar to masking requirements in place prior to June 15. The move comes as more than 1,000 COVID cases a day have been reported in the county over the last seven days. On Thursday, officials reported an additional 1,537 cases and three deaths. The number of people hospitalized with COVID in L.A. County jumped to 452 on Thursday, up from
Donald Trump reacted to the prelimary findings of the independent election audit team that testified in an update to the Arizona Senate on Thursday.“Arizona Senate hearings on the Maricopa County Election Audit is devastating news to the Radical Left Democrats and the Biden administration,” Trump said.“While this, according to the Senate is preliminary, with results being announced at a later date, it seems that 74,234 Mail-in Ballots were counted with ‘no clear record’ of them being send,” he added. “There were 18,000 voters who were scrubbed from the voter rolls AFTER the election.”

Remember during all the election hullabaloo last year, when people were trying to figure out what had gone down in Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was infuriated that anyone would raise questions about the election in his state. The election in Georgia, Raffensperger assured us was “safe, secure, honest.” (snip ) Now Raffensperger appears to be raising some questions of his own about Fulton County. Fulton County’s continued failures have gone on long enough with no accountability. Rick Barron and Ralph Jones, Fulton’s registration chief, must be fired and removed from Fulton’s elections leadership immediately. Fulton’s voters and the people of Georgia deserve better.

Democratic mega-donor Ed Buck allegedly lured men to his home to satisfy his twisted “party and play” sex fetish—sometimes personally injecting his victims with methamphetamine, prosecutors said this week at his trial.
Buck, 66, was accused of being “obsessed” with the “party and play” encounters Wednesday in Los Angeles court, where he’s on trial for allegedly providing fatal drug doses to two men, running a drug den and persuading others to travel for prostitution.(Snip)Prosecutors claimed Buck had a “fetish” for paying black men he met online to use meth, sometimes to the point of unconsciousness. “Buck’s preference was to personally inject victims, and he pressured
Perhaps no organization over the last half-decade has seen its credibility falter more than the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The once-storied agency, having ostensibly overcome its history of corruption, was exposed for having done anything but during the Donald Trump era.From its illegitimate use of garbage intelligence (the Steele Dossier) to initiate an investigation of the Trump campaign to its lies to garner a FISA warrant targeting Carter Page, there appeared to be no limits to how politicized the FBI was willing to become. That culminated in the current FBI Director’s stonewalling of record requests and the DOJ’s refusal to charge anyone who had clearly broken the law from inside CORRECTION*
Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, said Thursday that U.S. military leaders are "prioritizing woke training over actual war fighting" following lawmakers' investigation into the Navy's culture.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. – along with Crenshaw, a retired Navy SEAL, and fellow Republican Reps. Jim Banks of Indiana and Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin – directed an investigation into Navy culture, following three major incidents between 2016 and 2017 that resulted in the death of 17 sailors. They found that 94% of the sailors interviewed thought the military branch is facing a leadership and culture crisis.
"Unfortunately, the findings of our report aren’t surprising," Crenshaw tweeted. "We’ve known military leaders are prioritizing woke training

A judge rejected the Arizona Senate's motion to dismiss a lawsuit seeking the disclosure of records related to its 2020 election audit in Maricopa County. American Oversight, a left-leaning watchdog group, filed the lawsuit seeking to force compliance with Arizona's Public Records Law. But attorneys for the GOP-led Arizona Senate argued that the various documents and donor information sought in the case are not subject to public disclosure rules because they are held by Cyber Ninjas, a private firm based in Florida, and its subcontractors.
The Biden administration is playing an active role in flagging Facebook posts it considers to be “problematic” or “disinformation,” according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
During a Thursday press conference, Psaki said White House senior staff were engaging with “social media platforms” to combat the spread of “misinformation specifically on the pandemic.”
“In terms of actions we are taking or that we’re working to take, I should say, from the federal government, we’ve increased disinformation research and tracking within the surgeon general’s office. We're flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation," she said.
In remarks reported in a forthcoming book, Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, compared President Donald Trump to the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and his supporters to Nazi brownshirts. Milley said he feared a military coup from Trump, who had decided to contest the results of the 2020 election. Trump responded to the accusation in a blistering statement on Thursday.
“Despite massive Voter Fraud and Irregularities during the 2020 Presidential Election Scam, that we are now seeing play out in very big and important States, I never threatened, or spoke about, to anyone, a coup of our Government. So ridiculous!” the former president wrote.
From January to May, 711,784 migrants were encountered by Customs and Border Protection at the southern border–five times the amount during the same period in 2020–and the Biden administration is on track to encounter 1 million by the end of July.(Snip)The number of crossers already reported by CBP since the start of 2021 surpasses the population of several large U.S. cities, like Boston and Nashville.

Roughly 30 percent of illegal immigrants housed in federal detention centers at the border have refused the coronavirus vaccine, according to a report Thursday. There have been nine COVID deaths and 20,000 coronavirus cases among those detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Axios reported, citing numbers from the agency. ICE did not provide the exact number of illegal immigrants turning down a shot, but the 30 percent figure has been shared internally, the report said.(Snip)Public health officials blamed the high number of cases on the vaccine hesitancy shown by the illegal immigrants.

The NFL reportedly plans on ramping up social justice messaging during the upcoming season.
According to Front Office Sports, the league “will introduce more social justice messaging on fields and player helmets during the upcoming 2021 season, following up on initial efforts from 2020.” FOS reported that the NFL “will promote social justice via on-field signage, decals on player helmets, and in-stadium PSAs.” That’s right, folks!

So are the rats fleeing the ship in Cuba?

The Obama cat has the Biden administration’s tongue as the Communist thugs carry on in Havana, imprisoning anyone who can get the word out on the open air prison they maintain to support the regime.

Minnesota state Sen. Foung Hawj was never a fan of the "Asian carp" label commonly applied to four imported fish species that are wreaking havoc in the U.S. heartland, infesting numerous rivers and bearing down on the Great Lakes.
But the last straw came when an Asian business delegation arriving at the Minneapolis airport encountered a sign reading "Kill Asian Carp." It was a well-intentioned plea to prevent spread of the invasive fish. But the message was off-putting to the visitors.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer addressed rumors of his potential retirement on Thursday. The 82-year-old justice has sat on the bench for nearly 27 years and is under pressure from the far-left to step down so that President Joe Biden can appoint another liberal justice while Democrats hold the majority in the Senate.
Breyer said that his own health, and the court, are the factors behind his decision.
"Primarily, of course, health,” Breyer told CNN of his decision making process. "Second, the court." He added a firm "no," when asked if he was retiring in the immediate future.
Go woke, go broke. Major League Baseball is learning the hard way that catering to the far left isn't remotely helping their desperate attempts to resurrect what once was America's proud pastime.
MLB's All-Star Game, played Tuesday night, predictably tanked in the Nielsen ratings, delivering the second-lowest official total in the sport's history. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the game narrowly avoided "a third straight all-time audience low" with 8.24 million viewers, "about 100,000 more than the 2019 game's 8.14 million."
Except, it's quite possible that this could indeed be the game's lowest ever viewership.
The lead Forest Service investigator of the eco-terrorist plot involving President Biden's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) director nominee sent a letter to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Wednesday pushing back against Tracy Stone-Manning's testimony.
Michael Merkley, a retired criminal investigator for the U.S.D.A. Forest Service with over 28 years of service, said he felt compelled to write the letter to the Senate committee because many of the reports he had seen about the tree-spiking case linked to Stone-Manning were "inaccurate or incomplete" and misrepresented her as a "bystander or a victim."

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee sent a Thursday letter to National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NAID) Director Anthony Fauci demanding answers about a grant to EcoHealth Alliance, which then conferred the taxpayer funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
The Daily Caller first obtained the letter led by the Ranking Member Kentucky Rep. James Comer and signed by every Republican on the committee.
Republican senators are ramping up pressure on President Biden to withdraw Tracy Stone-Manning's nomination for Bureau of Land Management (BLM) director, citing her link to an eco-terrorist plot and her apparently misleading answers to senators about it.
Every Republican on the Senate Energy Committee signed a letter Wednesday urging Biden to pull Stone-Manning's nomination.
"Ms. Stone-Manning has made false and misleading statements in a sworn statement to the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources (Committee) regarding her activities associated with an eco-terrorist cell whose tree spiking in Idaho’s Clearwater National Forest in 1989 put lives at risk," the senators wrote.
The prominent historian C. Vann Woodward saw The Strange Career of Jim Crow through three editions. Originally published in 1955, the book was last updated in a third revised edition published in 1974. I believe it remains a useful book for anyone seeking to understand the phenomenon and its legacy. Indeed, as Woodward sought to keep the book current, I think that each of the three editions of the book is useful for this purpose (and that all of his books are worth reading).
In the preface to the first edition Woodward explained that the lectures were delivered at the University of Virginia in 1954. “They were given before unsegregated
After the 2020 election, Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, compared President Donald Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and Trump’s supporters in the MAGA movement to Nazi brownshirts. This only further underscores conservative fears about President Joe Biden’s efforts to root out “extremism” in the military.
“Milley told his staff that he believed Trump was stoking unrest, possibly in hopes of an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and call out the military,” Washington Post reporters Carol Leaning and Philip Rucker wrote in their forthcoming book I Alone Can Fix It, CNN reported.
Well that didn’t take long.
Just days after it was announced, Biden’s soviet-style intimidation program is in full swing. Video that was released on Wednesday shows vaccine agents peddling the experimental jab in the neighborhood streets of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Senators Grassley and Johnson want to know, among things, what the Justice Department has done to recover missing phones and whether phones were reviewed for evidence of leaks. Republican Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Chuck Grassley of Iowa sent a letter to the Justice Department Wednesday asking for more information regarding missing phones used by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team during the Russian collusion investigation. The senators sent the letter after finding out the Justice Department "could not locate 59 of the 96 phones used by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team," according to Grassley's website.

Black Lives Matter faced fierce criticism late Wednesday after posting a statement that blasted the U.S. and praised Cuba's government while the island was destabilized by historic protests and violent crackdowns. The statement – originally posted on Instagram and later tweeted and retweeted – blamed the U.S. embargo for the country's instability and credited the Cuban government for historically granting "Black revolutionaries" asylum.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, was quick to rebuke an initial tweet that linked to the statement.

I wrote an article in May titled Carville, Axelrod Deliver Blunt Message to ‘Smug,’ ‘Arrogant’ Dems — They’ll Totally Ignore It,’ in which I reported on the frustration of former Clinton official James Carville and former Obama official David Axelrod with the radical agenda of the Democrat Party. In a joint appearance, both veteran Democrats teed off on the party of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and presumably, Joe Biden.

You probably recall a proclamation that President Joe Biden issued on his first day in office. There would be a “pause” in the issuance of new drilling permits on public lands or for offshore sites. Many of us who follow the energy industry closely had a sinking feeling because that “pause” could easily turn into a de facto ban. But not long after that, a strange thing happened. Permits began to quietly be approved again. Unless I missed it, I never saw an official announcement from the White House declaring an end to the pause, but business seemed to be returning to normal in the oil and gas industry.
Facebook executives were terrified of being blamed for a Trump presidential victory, according to a New York Times story. Those same executives later censored the Hunter Biden story that helped Joe Biden win the presidency.

Fidji Simo, the head of the Facebook app at the time, agreed.
