Through Bakery Door, Steals Everything,
Destroys the Place replies
A mob of over 100 looters fresh off a street takeover smashed a Kia Soul through the door of a 48-year-old Compton bakery around 3 a.m. Tuesday and proceeded to rob just about anything they could get their hands on and vandalize the place.
Street takeovers have become a serious problem in recent years in Los Angeles County, which Compton is a part of. At least six people died during or near street takeovers in 2022.
The Kia had been involved in a pursuit earlier in the day.
The mob, which mostly seemed to consist of young people, showed zero concern for the owners of the bakery
Netflix unveiled a movie last month called Leave the World Behind that was about as subtle as an Antifa-thrown brick through a windshield: societal chaos and global disaster are heading our way. Filled with Hollywood heavyweights (Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, and Kevin Bacon — with Ali apparently taking over a role originally meant for Denzel Washington) and directed by Sam Esmail (the auteur behind the award-winning Mr. Robot), the stylish production was certainly meant to get people’s attention. Speaking of production, Barack and Michelle Obama (executive producers)
Where, Prince Andrew, is all your promised help?
The latest document dump in the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking case includes the names of very powerful, prominent people — Bill Clinton among them, of whom Epstein reportedly said, 'Clinton likes them young'.
Clinton himself claims to have no knowledge of Epstein's 'terrible crimes'. Also mentioned in this latest trove: Prince Andrew.
Before we get into all that, let's recall the Prince's statement in 2019, about two months after Epstein's suicide.
'I continue to unequivocally regret my ill-judged association with Jeffrey Epstein', Andrew said — an association that began in 1999, continued long after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting an underage prostitute,
Palm Beach, Florida — Former President Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner for president in 2024, told Breitbart News exclusively during a two-hour-plus interview at Mar-a-Lago last week that the person who gets the nod for vice president will not make much difference in the grand scheme of things regarding winning the election.
“If you study the history of presidential runs, a vice president has never made a difference—which is surprising,” Trump said. “It’s a one-night story, and then they’re back to a regular evening. They’re voting for the president. They’re not voting for the vice president.
Virginia Roberts-Giuffre claimed that Bill Clinton marched into the offices of Vanity Fair and demanded the magazine halt planned publication of a story about Jeffrey Epstein, newly-released court documents show.
Roberts-Giuffre's claim was made in a May 2011 email discussing an interview to promote her planned book.
She said Clinton 'walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend JE'. There is no evidence for her wild claim, and it seems highly unlikely that the former president would intervene in such a public way. He is currently believed to be on vacation in the Mexican city of San Miguel de Allende.
Study Found No ‘Extremism’ Problem

in the Military, Despite Biden Administration’s Narrative replies
A recently released independent study showed that there was no extremism problem in the United States military, despite the Biden Pentagon making it a top priority to root out alleged extremists.
The study, which was commissioned by the Department of Defense, conducted by the Institute for Defense Analyses, and publicly released just four days before Christmas, “found no evidence that the number of violent extremists in the military is disproportionate” to U.S. society.
The report noted that the Pentagon’s own data showed there were fewer than 100 substantiated cases per year of extremist activity by members of the military in recent years.
Nancy Pelosi’s investment portfolio is once again among the top performers on Capitol Hill – and lately she has gotten a major boost from a controversial use of stock options, according to government disclosures.
The 83-year-old, former House speaker – who remains a Democratic congresswoman representing San Francisco – racked up a 65% return on her stocks portfolio in 2023 – more than double the S&P 500’s 24% gain, according to a new analysis from stock-trading data site Unusual Whales.
Pelosi wasn’t alone, with other options-happy members of Congress among the top-performing investors.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faulted Congress for failing to appropriate substantive resources to his department, while appearing to reject the validity of Republicans' forthcoming impeachment proceedings against him.
On Thursday, Mayorkas was grilled on "Special Report" as anchor Bret Baier presented various statistics collectively depicting a burgeoning crisis on the Mexican border.
The secretary, who himself fled the Cuban Revolution for the United States as a toddler, remained steadfast that he has been properly executing the duties of his office.

‘inappropriate relationship’ decisions
involving gay dates replies
First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary, Michael LaRosa, was forced to resign after it surfaced he was taking male dates to his room on a secure floor of the hotel the president was staying at during a NATO summit in Madrid.
This is just one of the many inappropriate relationships involving Democrat staffers happening on government property.
LaRosa, 40, attempted to take a male date to his room on the floor not once, but twice according to sources. He was stopped by the Secret Service, the Daily Mail reported. The gay couple passed through three security checkpoints before getting stopped at approximately 9 p.m. The Secret Service confirmed the incident happened.
Jim Croce famously sang: "You Don't Mess Around With Jim." CNN anchor Jake Tapper learned on Wednesday: "You don't mess around with Mike" — House Speaker Mike Johnson, that is. As Tapper desperately tried to defend Joe Biden's intentional border crisis, Johnson simply kept bringing facts. By the time the segment ended, Tapper and CNN looked exactly like what they are: Biden mouthpieces. Nothing more, nothing less.
Johnson and more than 60 House Republicans traveled to border town Eagle Pass, Texas, on Wednesday to witness the deteriorating crisis firsthand — as Biden continues to seek Republican support for additional aid for Ukraine and Israel in their respective wars.
As I reported on Wednesday, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy blew the doors off a reporter who tried to cast what he was saying as not "condemning white supremacy."Ramaswamy went on not only to condemn all vicious discrimination, but he clapped back at the reporter and the media for utilizing such tactics and he predicted that the reporter would just print what she wanted anyway, regardless of everything he said. It was one heck of a brilliant response that went viral. (X Video) So can you guess what happened next?
Here's how the reporter Meryl Kornfield cast the exchange.
A terrified electric car driver has revealed he was kidnapped by his runaway £30,000 MG ZS EV after the vehicle suffered a 'catastrophic malfunction' in a bizarre case which forced him to dodge red lights and roundabouts before calling police to ram it into their van.
Brian Morrison, 53, claims he was heading home from work at around 10pm on Sunday when his new Chinese-made fully electric car began driving itself at 30mph.
Unable to use the brakes, the Glaswegian - who runs his own social enterprise - called police who stopped the vehicle by allowing it to slowly crash into their van.
Tucker Carlson on Thursday released his interview with Jeffrey Epstein’s only surviving relative – his brother, Mark Epstein.
Noted pedophile of the rich and powerful Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in Manhattan in August 2019 one week after he supposedly attempted suicide.
Many people don’t believe Epstein killed himself in after a number of strange coincidences and inconsistencies were revealed following his death.
Tucker Carlson interviewed Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark Epstein.
Andrew will never return to the royal fold after the release of documents detailing sexual assault allegations, insiders said last night.
Papers released by a New York court in the early hours of yesterday thrust the Duke of York's relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein back into the spotlight with claims that the prince committed 'acts of sexual abuse' and took part in an 'underage orgy'.
Andrew has vehemently and repeatedly denied all allegations against him. Yesterday well-placed sources told the Mail that while the court claims were not a surprise, they will have served to 'crystallise' King Charles's determination to solve the 'Andrew problem' decisively.
Palm Beach, Florida — Former President Donald Trump, the 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner, told Breitbart News exclusively last week that he expects Democrat President Joe Biden would probably pardon his son Hunter Biden if the latter is convicted of crimes on the many criminal charges he faces.
“I think he [Joe Biden] would do anything. I think he’s a guy that would do anything. He probably would do that,” Trump said during a more-than-two-hour-long interview at Mar-a-Lago last Thursday evening when asked if Joe would pardon Hunter Biden if he is convicted of crimes.
The New Hampshire House on Thursday voted in favor of banning doctors from performing gender-related surgeries on minors, but not the proscription of other treatments such as hormone therapy.
The bill passed in a 199-175 vote, according to The Hill. It next heads to the Republican-controlled Senate. The lower chamber also approved a measure requiring that athletes compete on teams in line with their sex.
Twenty-two states have enacted bans on transgender surgeries for minors, according to the pro-LGBT Movement Advancement Project. Twenty-one of those have also banned lesser medical treatments.
Philadelphia Democratic Mayor Cherelle Parker declared crime a public safety emergency her first day in office through an executive order that calls on the city's police department to "vigorously enforce" existing laws and for officials to develop a plan to increase the number of police officers. Parker, Philadelphia's 100th mayor and the first female, took over the office from former Mayor Jim Kenney when she was formally inaugurated Tuesday.
A school shooting occurred in Iowa on Thursday morning. According to reports, the shooter injured at least three people before turning the gun on himself.
We all know how Democrats love to weaponize school shootings and use them as a pretext for passing more gun control, but something tells me that this shooting will be memory-holed rather quickly. Why? Because of the shooter, who has been identified as Dylan Butler.
The suspected Iowa school shooter, who injured three people including the principal before turning the gun on himself, has been identified as a school senior.
Dylan Butler, who is a senior at Perry High School, was named as the suspected gunman
New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday announced a lawsuit against more than a dozen charter bus and transportation companies involved in busing migrants to New York City, seeking hundreds of millions of dollars for the care of migrants in the self-described "sanctuary" city.
"New York City has and will always do our part to manage this humanitarian crisis, but we cannot bear the costs of reckless political ploys from the state of Texas alone," Adams said in a statement . "Today, we are taking legal action against 17 companies that have taken part in Texas Governor Abbott’s scheme to transport tens of thousands of migrants
A transgender woman running for the Ohio House was rejected from the ballot for not listing her former name.
Vanessa Joy was the only Democrat seeking the Ohio House 50th District seat, which forms a U-shape in Stark County and includes Canal Fulton, East Canton, Massillon and Minerva.
Joy had enough valid signatures to qualify. Problem was, Stark County's four-member Board of Elections found a flaw in her petitions because she legally changed her name in 2022 and did not include her former name on the petitions she'd circulated, as required by law.
In a striking paradox, pro-meritocracy conservatives and pro-DEI Democrats alike can revel in the schadenfreude of Claudine Gay’s fall from grace—because her antics are just that ridiculous. In a since-deleted post to X, Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., a Harvard law professor, high-profile criminal defense attorney, and former college dean said Gay’s disgraced resignation was… “Karma.” You might recall the name from headlines a few years back—Sullivan once served as a faculty dean for Harvard’s Winthrop House, a position
from which he was ousted after he agreed to represent Harvey Weinstein, in large part, due to Gay’s influence. Here’s this, from political pundit Wesley Yang:
Iraqi officials on Thursday accused the U.S. of escalating tensions in Iraq after a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad killed the militia leader of an Iranian-backed group.
Iraq’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a “strong condemnation” of what it called a “blatant attack” on an Iraqi military headquarters. “The attack on a security formation linked to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and subject to the authority of the state is a dangerous escalation,” the statement reads, “and we affirm that Iraq reserves its right to take a firm stance and all measures that deter anyone who tries to harm its territory and its security forces.”
Cops who used deadly force to assault non-violent demonstrators, “passive resistors,” on January 6, 2021, escalating the protest into a riot, broke the law in clear violation of the Metropolitan Police Department’s standard operating procedures.
Police indiscriminately fired sting balls and rubber bullets into the massive crowd, often aimed at their heads, scores of protesters were doused in the face with CS gas and were injured by shrapnel flying from the flash grenades. In countless instances uncovered in the CCTV and police body cam footage that Congress has yet to release, police are seen ruthlessly beating protesters with their nightsticks.
As the first documents of the ‘Epstein list’ are being read and digested by writers all over the world, some household names are popping up, like Former President Bill Clinton and his aide Doug Band, Britain’s Prince Andrew, former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, billionaires Glenn and Eva Dubin, magician David Copperfield and the late model scout Jean-Luc Brunel. Some of the names appearing are portrayed in a more tangential aspect, as it appears to be the case of former FBI director Louis Freeh.
President Trump’s attorneys on Thursday asked the Court to hold Special Counsel Jack Smith in contempt for violating Judge Chutkan’s order staying all proceedings in the January 6 case against Trump.
“President Donald J. Trump respectfully moves this Court for an order to show cause why prosecutors Jack Smith, Molly Gaston, and Thomas Windom (collectively, the “prosecutors”) should not be held in contempt for violating the Court’s order “stay[ing] any further proceedings that would move this case towards trial or impose additional burdens of litigation on Defendant.”
At the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama said: "There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there's the United States of America... We are one people..."After announcing his candidacy for president, Sen. Obama appeared on "60 Minutes":
"60 Minutes": "You think the country's ready for a black president?"
Obama: "Yes."
"60 Minutes": "You don't think it's going to hold you back?"
If you were to sum up the last decade of leftist political thought and action you could really break it into two groups. First there are the far left insurgents, the people championing Equity and DEI and anti-racism and white fragility and intersectionality and cancel culture and wokeism and all of the rest of the new think which has dribbled out of higher education/activism over the past decade. And right next to them are the liberals who have spent an increasing amount of their time over the past decade simply denying that the other group exists, or at least that it has any real significance.
As an outside observer
I don’t write much about the myriad of sick and twisted stories that surround Jeffrey Epstein, because everything in that rabbit hole is a matrix of perversion and manipulation by sick people, sick government officials, and blackmail material in a world of darkness and evil.
Additionally, all of the previous claims about Donald Trump being associated with that perverse industry and assembly are false {Citation Here}. However, I can understand how the merge of exploitation, sex trafficking of young women, sexual blackmail and politics can hold ramifications for our current state of affairs.
Dozens of high-profile names — including royalty, politicians and famous scientists — appeared in an avalanche of previously sealed court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that were released late Wednesday.
The trove of papers filed in Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 defamation suit against the dead sex offender’s “madam” Ghislaine Maxwell included references to Prince Andrew, former President Bill Clinton and Stephen Hawking, among other major figures.
The lengthy list of boldface names paints a troubling picture of Epstein’s double life as an ace financier who used his wealth and connections to victimize dozens of young women.
Former President Trump privately met with a top union boss on Wednesday, less than two weeks before the critical Iowa caucus. Teamsters President Sean O’Brien thanked Trump for the sit-down in a statement the union posted late Wednesday night. "There are serious issues that need to [be] addressed to improve the lives of working people across the country, and the Teamsters Union is making sure our members’ voices are heard as we head into a critical election year," O’Brien said.
Let me make it clear from the beginning that I think Nikki Haley (R-Boeing) is a vapid establishment automaton who is basically the Kamala Harris of the Republican Party, a Bushesque mediocrity who represents a dying ideology that peaked in 2005, and good riddance to it. She’s the worst – self-righteous, annoying, always spewing grrrl-power nonsense and hack clichés salvaged from the back catalog of the Weekly Standard. She’s a disaster on every level, one of those people who is both very aggressive and always wrong, the worst possible combination. That being said, should he win the nomination, Nikki! should absolutely be Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick
The popular AI chatbot ChatGPT won’t generate jokes about Muslims – but Jews, Christians, and atheists are all fair game, a University of Chicago professor found.
Emeritus ecology Professor Jerry Coyne’s discovery is just one of many examples of bias in the artificial intelligence program. A study by British researchers, published earlier this year, found ChatGPT has a “systematic political bias” toward the left.
The resignation of Harvard president Claudine Gay has sent shockwaves through America’s elite institutions. Commentators across the political spectrum, habituated to years of submission to DEI orthodoxy, have been asking: How did it happen?
Yesterday, reporter Ian Ward of Politico reached out to ask me precisely this question. As one of the journalists and activists who worked on this campaign and watched it develop from the inside, I was happy to oblige.
The following is a reprint of our interview, first published at Politico under the headline, “We Sat Down With the Conservative Mastermind Behind Claudine Gay’s Ouster.”
Politico: How much credit do you think you deserve for Gay’s resignation?

to expand computer chip factories in Colorado

The Biden administration is providing $162 million to Microchip Technology to support the domestic production of computer chips — the second funding announcement tied to a 2022 law designed to revive U.S. semiconductor manufacturing.
The incentives announced Thursday include $90 million to improve a plant in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and $72 million to expand a factory in Gresham, Oregon, the Commerce Department said. The investments would enable Microchip Technology Inc., which is based in Chandler, Arizona, to triple its domestic production and reduce its dependence on foreign factories.
"Dumbs" is my favorite new word because I have to keep my posts clean and family-friendly (snip) Sir, why did the border patrol encounter over 302,000 migrants in December, setting a new monthly record?
Mayorkas: (snip) "We have the effects of climate change, poverty, increasing level of authoritarianism, the very many challenges that are at the root cause of the displacement of people around the world.”
The dude listed climate change before anything else. Climate change shouldn’t even be on the list, my man.
An armed attacker opened fire inside a rural Iowa high school on the first day back from winter break Thursday morning, shooting “multiple” people before reportedly turning the gun on themself.
The principal of Perry High School, 40 miles northwest of Des Moines, was reportedly among what police said were “multiple gunshot victims” as the mass shooting unfolded at 7:47 a.m.
The rampage came before the opening bell when “very few students and faculty” were in the building “which contributed to a good outcome in that sense,” Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante said at a press conference later in the morning.
ISIS claims responsibility for a pair of explosions that killed at least 84 people near the grave of General Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force who was killed in a US drone strike in Iraq four years ago.
Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber accused Israel of having a hand in the attack, saying that “the representatives of the Zionist regime” had spilled blood with the blast.
But the US already indicated yesterday that the explosions appeared to be the modus operandi of ISIS. ISIS has gone on to take responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on its affiliate Telegram channels.
We are about to embark on what might be one of the wildest years in the history of American politics, and it may end up merely a prelude.
If 2024 is set to be tumultuous and unpredictable, just wait until 2025 if Donald Trump wins the presidency again this year.
His adversaries don’t have a history of accepting his victories with equanimity.
Trump’s unexpected victory in 2016 launched conspiracy theories about how Russia had helped him win; catalyzed a years-long law enforcement investigation into him and his campaign based on those theories; and set off protests in the streets.
All that was mild, given what may yet be in the offing.

President Biden was slammed by critics for his comments about doing "something" at America’s southern border, which is facing unprecedented levels of illegal immigrant crossings. Sources with Customs and Border Protection told Fox News Digital that migrant encounters hit a staggering 300,000 incidents in December 2023, reaching a level thought unimaginable just years ago. It is the highest total for a single month ever recorded and also the first time migrant encounters have exceeded 300,000.

Democrats allege replies
WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump unconstitutionally profited from the presidency during his tenure in the White House, reaping millions of dollars for his business empire from foreign governments, House Democrats allege in an extensive report.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a 156-page report Thursday morning accusing Trump of exploiting the presidency to financially benefit himself and members of his family. Trump’s businesses, according to the report, received at least $7.8 million from corrupt and authoritarian governments including China, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The report is the culmination of a nearly seven-year investigation. It says records and documents obtained by House Oversight Democrats reveal "a stunning web
Grace Slick, chanteuse and enchantress of ‘60s San Francisco psychedelic rock stalwarts Jefferson Airplane, is often albeit inaccurately credited with the quip, “If you remember the ‘60s, you really weren’t there.” Many a rock'n'roll star has left any effort to chronicle their life story either entirely to a third party or has leaned heavily on a cowriter or ghostwriter to detail the assorted and often sordid detailings of sex, drugs, and … well, rock'n'roll. While Geddy Lee, bassist/keyboardist/singer of Canadian progressive hard rock trio Rush, used assistance in putting together his autobiography
It’s come to this. The mainstream media is now openly defending the alleged child sex abusers.
The anchor on NBC News defended Bill Clinton on Wednesday night after legal documents were released that show he likes young girls on Epstein Island.
NBC Hews host: I should mention, none of this obviously suggests any wrongdoing by the former president suggests that he was involved in a crime. It’s merely talking about his connections to Epstein, something that has already, again, been out there. But he has obviously maintained his innocence and denied any wrongdoing as it relates to any abuse by people that Epstein exploited.

Not Call Illegal Aliens ‘Criminals’
Because ‘They’re Not’ replies
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R), now running in the Republican presidential primary, previously said Americans should not describe illegal aliens “as criminals,” suggesting that doing so is “disrespectful.”
In July 2015, a month after then-GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump announced his candidacy with a speech centered on stemming illegal immigration, Haley joined a panel with the Aspen Institute moderated by then-CEO Walter Isaacson.
LAS VEGAS — Channel 13 has obtained video of a Clark County District Court judge being violently attacked by a man during a hearing on Wednesday morning. The man involved in the attack is Delone Redden, who was being sentenced for aggravated battery with substantial bodily harm prior to the attack on Judge Mary Kay Holthus. He entered a guilty plea in a previous hearing. The video shows Judge Holthus denying Redden's request for probation due to his criminal history and preparing to sentence him to jail time. Redden can be seen then leaping over the judge's bench to tackle her.
Harvard President Claudine Gay’s recent testimony before the U.S. Congress and subsequent exposure of her academic history have revealed much about the true nature and purpose of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ideology.
The most significant “A-ha!” moment from le affair Gay is that DEI only “works” in noncompetitive environments such as government and academia. The principles of “diversity” and “equity” implicitly assume that entities and organizations will continue along their current trajectory regardless of who’s in charge. DEI discounts merit, ability, and leadership and assumes as a matter of ideological gospel that “diversity” will more than make up for their loss.
Just as President Joe Biden starts showering hundreds of billions more of taxpayers’ money to “electrify” the nation’s fleet of automobiles, the bottom is falling out of the EV market.
The latest indication is the sharp drop in prices for used EVs.
A report from iSeeCars.com, a search engine for auto buyers, found that the average price for all cars declined 5% in 2023 compared with 2022.
But the resale price EVs plunged 33%. While a used EV sold for an average of $52,821 in 2022, it went for less than $35,000 in 2023,
Mayor Eric Adams took a moment to brag Wednesday — that New York City isn’t as bad as Los Angeles.
“This is another city in America,” Hizzoner proclaimed to a room full of reporters Wednesday afternoon, holding up a picture of a packed homeless encampment in LA’s infamous Skid Row neighborhood.
“This is what I saw when I drove around the city January 1st, 2022. This is an example of another city in America.”
Adams flashed the tragic scene while touting the Big Apple’s year-end crime stats, which show overall crime across Gotham dropped slightly in 2023 — down 0.3% — compared to the year prior.
Jeffrey Epstein once said that former President Bill Clinton “likes them young,” a victim of the dead sex offender testified in a deposition unsealed Wednesday — part of a trove of long-sealed court documents that began to be made public.
The files, which name more than 170 Epstein associates — such as Clinton, former President Donald Trump and Prince Andrew — were ordered released by Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska last month and contain a gross accusation of inappropriate touching by the disgraced British royal.
They were filed in a since-settled defamation lawsuit that Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre brought against the late sicko’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 2015.
As the decisions disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election work their way through the courts, a new filing in Pennsylvania seeks the same “ballot cleansing” by barring Rep. Scott Perry.
It’s only the latest effort targeting congressional candidates as Democrats seek to bar opponents as “insurrectionists” for questioning the election of President Biden.
We have become a nation of Madame Defarges — eagerly knitting names of those to be subject to arbitrary justice.
Former congressional candidate Gene Stilp, who’s made headlines by burning MAGA flags with swastikas outside courthouses, filed the challenge.
Using the 14th Amendment to disqualify candidates like Perry is consistent with Stilp’s signature flag-burning stunts.
Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel might be in trouble.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit advised counsels in Smith’s criminal case against Trump to be prepared during previously scheduled January 9 oral arguments to address issues raised in briefs filed by amicus curiae.The court made the announcement after an explosive amicus brief filed by attorneys for former Attorney General Ed Meese arguing that Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is unconstitutional and so the court must reject his prosecution against Trump.
“You broke my heart.”
That’s what former Marvel Entertainment chairman and CEO Ike Perlmutter said to Bob Iger, according to The Wall Street Journal, when Iger made it clear in 2015 that he was not going to name veteran Disney executive and Perlmutter favorite Jay Rasulo as his eventual successor. (He anointed Tom Staggs instead, and Staggs was out the following year. Being a potential successor was hazardous duty at Disney, at least in those days.)
Iger’s relationship with Perlmutter went sharply downhill from there and last March, after incrementally stripping Perlmutter of his duties at Marvel, Iger ejected the contentious billionaire from the company altogether.
A Houston, TX, grand jury has elected not to charge a man who shot and killed a career criminal who tried to hold up a Houston taqueria in January 2023.
On January 5, 2023, 30-year-old Eric Eugene Washington entered El Ranchito taqueria in southwest Houston, brandishing what turned out to be a toy pistol and demanding the customers give him their money. As Washington goes to leave the shop, one of the customers shoots him nine times. If you are squeamish, don't watch this video. (Video) The customer then left the restaurant. Four days later, the 46-year-old shooter, who remains anonymous, contacted Houston homicide detectives via his attorney.
One of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged victims who claimed Prince Andrew groped her testified magician David Copperfield asked if she realized Epstein's 'girls' were encouraged to procure other girls for him.
Newly released court documents show Johanna Sjoberg said during her deposition the famous magician was having dinner at Epstein's house when he asked if she new other girls were getting paid to bring in new girls.
The document said, 'David Copperfield was at a dinner at Epstein’s and there was another girl present who looked young and Johanna asked what school she went to and Johanna did not recognize the school name
Deceased pop legend Michael Jackson is among the powerful figures named in a new tranche of documents related to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Michael Jackson’s name came up during a May 2016 deposition given by Johanna Sjoberg, an apparent alleged victim of Epstein’s, that was among the documents unsealed Wednesday night. SJOBERG DEPOSITION: “Did you ever meet anybody famous when you were with Jeffrey [Epstein]?”
“I met Michael Jackson,” she said.
“Oh, really? And where was that?”
“At his house in Palm Beach. At Jeffrey’s house in Palm Beach,” she specified.“Did you massage him?”
“I did not,” Sjoberg added.
Michael Jackson has been accused of sexual abuse by multiple men as chronicled by HBO’s
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson on Wednesday fellow candidate Nikki Haley is who the “bipartisan system” wants to keep the “war machine humming.”
Ramaswamy appeared on “Tucker Carlson Uncensored” to discuss his run for the upcoming 2024 GOP primary elections. Carlson had asked the GOP presidential candidate what he’s “noticed” regarding the “subtext” of the 2024 race.
Ramaswamy stated the “real puppet” is Haley, claiming the GOP was part of “paying to keep” former President Donald Trump “off of the ballot.”
Wednesday on FNC’s “The Story,” independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. criticized the decisionmakers in Colorado and Maine for removing former President Donald Trump from their presidential primary ballots.
“I just want to ask you one news-of-the-day question before I let you go about the Supreme Court, potentially taking up the issue of taking the former President Trump off the ballot in Colorado and in Maine, where there is also this effort,” FNC host Martha MacCallum said. “What do you think about those efforts to take the former president off the ballot based on an insurrection charge that he has not been charged with?”
On Wednesday, Judge Loretta Preska confirmed the release of the initial names from Jeffrey Epstein’s extensive client list, comprising over 150 individuals. Concurrently, a collection of previously sealed documents was made public.
Following the release, the Court Listener website experienced a crash due to the overwhelming public interest. However, The Gateway Pundit managed to secure a backup of this crucial information.
Three individuals, known in the court documents as Doe 105, Doe 107, and Doe 110, have made appeals. Documents related to Does 105, 107, and 110-110 are being withheld.
