Cambridge University: We Have Cancelled Our Promised Investigation Into How Unqualified Fabulist Jason Arday Was Hired. Instead We Will Investigate How We Failed to "Support" Him and Other DEI Incompetents and Plagiarists.
Cambridge University has decided against investigating how and why the late professor Jason Arday was hired despite his lack of qualifications and will instead look into whether staff offered him sufficient support after he was accused of plagiarizing large sections of his published work and fabricating a series of personal achievements.
...
The day before Arday's death, Cambridge pledged to investigate "the circumstances around his appointment" in response to evidence that he plagiarized portions of his doctoral thesis and made highly dubious claims about his personal life. "That investigation must be thorough and transparent, and will be carried out independently by senior academics from within and beyond Cambridge," Vice-Chancellor Deborah Prentice wrote.
...
Former prosecutor Nazir Afzal, who is tasked with leading the new investigation, said recently that the probe is "not about the allegations made against Professor Arday or about his academic record" and will instead focus on "his welfare, his care, his well-being."
THE MORNING RANT: The Awful Precedent of the Clancy Trial’s Juror-Harassment
—Buck Throckmorton
A terrifying precedent was set in the Lindsay Clancy trial, as Boston media outlets engaged in a multi-prong hit job on the lone juror who refused to acquit Mrs. Clancy for the murder of her children.
Going forward, any juror who remains true to his conscience and doesn’t submit to the mob knows that the media may dox him. Every negative event in his life could be exposed, and the media has now shown that it will provide identifying information to activists who wish to harass or harm a “wrongthink” juror.
The media has normalized putting jurors themselves on trial if they don’t issue the “correct” verdict.
Can you imaging being a juror in a trial involving a drug cartel? With the Clancy precedent, any juror who convicts a cartel member can have his life and address exposed for convicting a “migrant dreamer” who got a little sideways with the law.
Boston Herald Opinion columnist Wendy Murphy started an editorial with these chilling words: “Now that the holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case is getting the negative attention he deserves…”
”…the negative attention he deserves…” spoken about a juror by a mainstream media outlet is a terrifying thing to read. These are the words you’d expect from a foot soldier for the likes of Mao or Stalin.
Meanwhile, Ryan Kath of “NBC 10” in Boston decided to dig up and publicize criminal “allegations” against the juror, even though there was not an actual criminal record. Mr. Kath also reported on family gossip regarding the juror, and Kath even found it newsworthy that the targeted juror was late in making rent payments. This is juror intimidation, and the message is clear about the punishment that awaits future jurors who won’t betray their conscience to reach the media’s preferred verdict.
The NBC10 Boston Investigators are uncovering new details about the lone holdout juror from the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Court documents and interviews with family members reveal a history of domestic violence allegations. We discovered a pending eviction case tied to months of not paying rent.
A story the @NBC10Boston Investigators have been piecing together all week: Domestic violence allegations and eviction records raise questions about the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial https://t.co/Y6iN9EfoOa
Suffice it to say, NBC 10 Boston did not investigate any criminal allegations or financial delinquency of the jurors who voted “correctly.” Message received. The privacy and anonymity of the jury room has been invaded by the hostile media.
As a young man several decades back, I was on a jury in which we found the defendant guilty of aggravated manslaughter. He and his partner were shoplifting goods for a fencing ring, and when a security guard pursued them into the parking lot and tried to block their panel van from getting away, the defendant (who was driving) ran the security guard over, killing him. (The other shoplifter pleaded out to a lesser charge.) Knowing that the defendant who I sent to jail was part of a larger criminal ring, I was a little concerned for my safety if my name were to be released. The judge assured us jurors that our anonymity would be protected, and the media back in the day respected it. That is clearly not the case any longer.
Jury duty is a necessary act of citizenship – one that too many good people try to avoid. But if honorable people who don’t want the worst day of their lives exposed by the media are made to fear serving on a jury, fair trials will be a thing of the past.
While it is against the law in most states to threaten, intimidate or harass jurors, it is generally not specifically illegal to disclose their names. Therefore, it is effectively legal for the media to dox jurors so that their political allies can inflict street punishment. The next time a Daniel Penny or Kyle Rittenhouse is railroaded into a murder trial, we can expect the full force of the national media to intimidate any juror who won’t convict.
This has to stop. Jurors must not fear retribution for being the target of media opprobrium. Red states need to codify that it is illegal for the media to reveal jurors names and personal information, and if we ever get a Republican Congress that is capable of actually passing laws, it too should pass legislation on a national basis to protect jurors from media doxxing.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the creation of a National Centre for Information Defence, aimed at countering alleged foreign disinformation and “information attacks.” The center will collaborate with intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and social media platforms to address what the government characterizes as threats, using Russia as the main pretext...Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage likened the move to a “Ministry of Truth,” while the Big Brother Watch organization raised concerns over potential targeting of lawful domestic speech under the guise of countering disinformation.
Now, it’s the BBC’s turn. The British broadcasters’ blatant censorship of classic comedy feels straight out of the Summer of Love era.
The BBC confirmed earlier this week that jokes featured in David Mitchell and Robert Webb’s show [“That Mitchell and Webb Look”] had been cut ahead of it being restored to iPlayer for its 20th anniversary.
As many as 11 sketches were removed, including a self-referential skit in which Mitchell and Webb joked about the appropriateness of Blackface while in Blackface. This wasn’t just”blackface” references like the ones Tina Fey personally erased in 2020. This involves several skits now deemed unacceptable to the far-Left BBC.
So comedy legend John Cleese railed against the decision. “If the BBC could prioritise making great programmes ahead of social engineering they might be worth the licence fee,” he wrote.
Massachusetts Man Sentenced to Almost 10 Years in Prison for Threatening to Injure Congressman Randy Fine and His Children
Orlando, Florida – Edwin Guerrero (26, MA) has been sentenced by U.S. District Judge Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe to 9 years and 11 months in federal prison and a $15,000 fine for making interstate threats to injure the person of another. Guerrero pleaded guilty on March 23, 2026. United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe made the announcement...“Looks like I’m taking a little field trip to brevard county Florida let’s play a game @VoteRandyFine” from an IP address in Spain. Attached to the post was a photo of an individual holding what appears to be a firearm.
“@VoteRandyFine when he steps out in Florida don’t worry your 2 little precious. Jewish boys will suffer the same fate.” from an IP address in Spain. Attached to the post was a photo of a deceased male with significant head trauma.
“This is gonna be Randy Fine very very soon … see you in Florida !” from an IP address in Spain. Attached to the post was the same photo of a deceased male with significant head trauma.“Why don’t you show us where you’re at? @VoteRandyFine your scared of getting your brains blown in ?

For many American Jews, Zohran Mamdani’s pledge to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he entered New York did not sound like another campaign promise. It sounded like a perilous threat.
Had the statement been uttered in isolation, it might have been dismissed as political theater. It was not heard in isolation. It came after nearly two years in which the October 7 massacre was followed, not by a sustained moral reckoning with Hamas, but by an extraordinary wave of hostility directed toward Israel and, increasingly, toward Jewish communities themselves. University campuses became sites of intimidation. Synagogues and Jewish institutions strengthened security.
Early Wednesday morning, a man wielding what appears to be a knife chased an identifiably Jewish yeshiva student down a Crown Heights residential street after threatening him and throwing trash cans in his direction. Security footage posted by Crown Heights Shmira Patrol (CHSP) shows the student reaching the safety of his doorway before the assailant, who can be heard shouting, "Now I know where you live" and "Heil f***ing Hitler!," is able to physically assault him. He did, however, allegedly slash the tires of bicycles on the property, according to a COLlive report. NYPD officers eventually arrested the suspect after he had managed to escape from them by jumping over fences. In another incident on Wednesday, a rabbi was not fortunate enough to avoid physical assault, this time in Boro Park, which, like Crown Heights, has a large Hasidic population. The Boro Park Shomrim neighborhood watch group released video of a man beating the rabbi with his fists. The man was later arrested.
Lest you think I'm focusing in on this merely because of the Jewish aspect of it, the Democrat Socialites and the Democrats in general have got every single normal American in their crosshairs. You will bend to their will or be liquidated. Meh, they're hell bent on the liquidation as the means to their end — absolute power, forever.
We should have had a national conversation about Democrat violence back in 2017, when an Illinois Democrat and Bernie Sanders supporter attempted to assassinate an entire baseball team of Republican members of the U.S. House and Senate. While the would-be assassin failed to murder anyone before being neutralized, he did manage to shoot four people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was one of two critically injured. The mass murder attempt could have easily been much worse. Twenty-four Republican congressmen were on the field that day, and had the Democrat assassin been successful, he would have substantially shifted the balance of power in Congress. It was an unprecedented attack on one of the three branches of the federal government.
Instead of acknowledging the seriousness of Democrat violence, Establishment Republicans and Democrats joined hands and pretended that the assassination attempt was the fault of “both parties.” Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake lectured the country to “tone it down” because “discourse” had “gotten out of hand…on all sides” — which was his way of blaming newly-inaugurated President Trump for saying things that might provoke a Democrat to murder two dozen Republican congressmen. . . The FBI’s ludicrous efforts to cover up the partisan nature of the attack reflected Establishment Washington’s similarly ludicrous framing of the assassination attempt as a natural and justified response to President Trump’s political rhetoric. Unofficially, D.C.’s “ruling class” seemed to be saying that President Trump and his MAGA supporters deserved to be attacked.
Jim Copenhaver, 76, a spectator shot at the July 13, 2024 Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, reportedly died on Wednesday. Copenhaver was critically wounded on July 13, 2024, during the assassination attempt of President Donald Trump at the rally... Copenhaver was sitting in bleacher C, two seats away from fellow shooting survivor David Dutch when the shooting started. Corey Comperatore, the 50-year-old volunteer firefighter who was killed shielding his family, was seated in a separate section to the left of the podium. One of the bullets grazed President Trump’s upper right ear, “less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head,” according to former White House physician Ronny Jackson.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed off a state bill to officially recognise September 25, aka 9/25, as a day to celebrate the life, music, philanthropy and legacy of Dolly Parton.
The bill to honour the late late country legend was co-authored by Democratic Senator John Laird, and by Republican Senator Shannon Grove.
"Dolly Parton sparkled on every stage she ever stood on," the pair said in a joint statement, "but her brightest sparkle was the literacy legacy she built through the Imagination Library.

The city of Nashville has also declared September 25 as Dolly Parton Day, and has scheduled a day of celebratory events. Other US cities are also planning celebrations.
CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A local farm is honoring Dolly Parton with a larger-than-life tribute carved into a sunflower field.
Burwinkel Farms has cut a design into its sunflower field featuring Parton’s name, a guitar, titles of her popular songs, and a heart. Bob Burwinkel created the design using only a lawnmower.

A concussion is often described as a “mild” traumatic brain injury. Yet repeated blows to the head rarely feel mild and the impacts — including changes in movement, memory, mood and brain function — may last for months or years.
Athletes, military personnel, people involved in vehicle collisions, older adults who experience falls and people experiencing intimate partner violence are all especially susceptible to repeated head injuries. And these are associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative conditions, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy and Parkinson’s disease.
There is no approved drug that repairs the underlying brain damage from concussions. This therapeutic gap has prompted interest in an unconventional candidate: psilocybin, the psychoactive compound found in “magic mushrooms.”
Would you try this remedy?

The feds have arrested an illegal alien for voting in both the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections. I assume he's innocent, because the communist media tells me this never happens.
Agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested a legal immigrant in New Jersey last week for allegedly voting in multiple federal elections, including the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, Breitbart News has learned.
Sanata Coulibaly, a legal immigrant from Senegal, was arrested on September 17 and charged with procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and voting by an alien.
According to prosecutors, Coulibaly first entered the United States in September 1993 and was given a green card by the Obama administration in November 2009. In 2018, 2020, and 2024, Coulibaly allegedly voted illegally in each of the elections.
"This alien from Senegal has been charged with procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and voting by an alien after allegedly voting in three general elections in New Jersey," Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.

I'm just gonna put it out there: Colin Kaepernick sat on the bench for the national anthem--not kneeling, sitting on the bench, away from his teammates--at the exact time his teammates hated him (a recently demoted backup QB) for dating his teammate's (Aldon Smith's) ex-girlfriend.
It was only after one reporter asked--after his third straight game sitting by himself on the bench during the anthem --why he was doing that, that he came up with the answer about taking a stand against America's "racism."
That transformed him overnight from a spiraling backup QB whose teammates hated him to a left-wing icon.
Arlington's Commonwealth's Attorney testified that her office has a DUI policy specifically for DACA recipients. In a small number of cases, prosecutors have considered changing a DUI to a different first-degree misdemeanor so the defendant can renew DACA status. (We don't have first-degree misdemeanors - they are called Class 1 misdemeanors - surprised an elected prosecutor doesn't know that).
She says the defendant is still held accountable and the original DUI charge remains visible. But DACA status is a factor in the plea resolution, one that an American citizen charged with the same offense cannot invoke.
Should immigration status affect which crime appears on a defendant's record?

Pennsylvania Democrat state Sen. James Malone has written lesbian fan fiction set in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) universe, according to documentation provided to Breitbart News. Malone was elected in a special election in 2025 after serving as Mayor of East Petersburg since 2017.
Malone won by approximately 500 votes in the district despite President Donald Trump winning by 15 points in the 2024 general election.
...
Since at least October 2023, Malone has been writing and publishing on Tumblr a sexually charged lesbian romance story set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons. He has since deleted the account once Breitbart News began investigating.
In October 2023, Malone posted a "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk sleeping together.
Brylint work cuddled up in Zamkk's arms, content and warm. After their time at the Tavern, they had a bath and more, working out there tenuous partnership. *This will work out well, for now.*, Brylint thought to herself. With the light filtering in from the window, she could see her surroundings with clarity. The relatively large area of the room was taken up by the pillows she and her red haired companion were cuddled in....
As she rose, Zamkk grabbed her arm. "It's early.", she said groggily. "I must use the chamber pot and perform my devotions.", Brylint said not unkindly. Zamkk nodded, gently rubbed Brylint's arm then settled back to snoozing. Brylint did her business and cleaned up. She performed her rituals of devotion and stretched a bit.
In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk experiencing "no small amount of arousal" from "a firm wack on the rear."
...
Brylint smirked briefly under her hood, "Perhaps, I will need more lessons."That gained her a firm wack on the rear which evoked a hiss and no small amount of arousal. "Do you understand.", Zamkk asked in Ghukliak. "I will listen and learn."
...
In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk "nibbling" each other's ears.

The event was set to take place at a public library in Lancaster County for an all-ages audience.

Alaska Democrat Senate candidate Mary Peltola was the subject of a devastating New York Times profile on Wednesday, September 23 which described a pattern of angry outbursts, physical abuse, and slurs for years while serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Peltola is now running against Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in November in a contest polling shows continues to be close.
According to the explosive story, former aides describe "angry and profane outbursts." In one instance she is said to have shoved an aide according to a former staffer who was present and two others who were told about it at the time. Additionally, four former staff members said they directly heard her use the word "faggot" over the years, even about her own staff members, which her campaign has denied. She also used the word "retarded," according to former aides and text messages viewed by the newspaper.
The report talked to a total of nine former staffers who were granted anonymity.
Her office amassed one of the highest turnover rates in Congress during her term, and she has missed hundreds of votes throughout her time in elected office.
The campaign issued a statement in response to the story, attributing her behavior to personal tragedy. Peltola's mother and husband died in 2023...
So she's admitting it, with the excuse Muh Hormones and Feelings.
The report states Peltola shoved a male staffer in her office over a missing meeting memo, "causing him to stumble backward, according to a person who was there and two others who heard about the incident soon after, as well as text messages sent at the time." The unnamed aide departed the office soon after.
In another instance, Peltola wrote, "FUCK THOSE BITCHES" about Planned Parenthood after her vote on a defense bill. "I hope Planned Parenthood knows that if we don't win it's more their loss than ours," she added.
She also wrote in a text referring to a woman serving on the board of a local Planned Parenthood chapter, "I hope she dies of a botched abortion." The pro-abortion organization has not endorsed her 2026 campaign.
Peltola additionally texted, "Fuck that retard" after a selfie photo was posted by a commercial fisheries executive with the former representative. She has attempted to make local fishing interests a key part of her campaign despite not sponsoring a single bill related to fishing during her one term in Congress.
...
Senate Leadership Fund Executive Director Alex Latcham said in a statement on the story, "Mary Peltola's closest aides describe a routine history of physical violence, explosive anger, and utter disdain for Alaskans, which makes her entirely unfit for the U.S. Senate. Peltola's deeply offensive and disturbing comments do not represent the Alaska way and she must publicly apologize to her staff and the people of Alaska."
Susan Collins' opponent in the Maine Senate race, Troy Jackson, also has a history of abusing staffers. And banging his second cousin.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) leads Democrat Troy Jackson by 3 points in her bid for a sixth term, according to a new poll.
The New York Times/Siena University survey found Collins leading Jackson, the former president of the Maine Senate, with 49 percent support to the Democrat's 46 percent.
The incumbent's edge was within the roughly 5 point margin of error, while another 5 percent of the 619 respondents were undecided, the results show.
Eric Swalwell's Hotel Prostitute Wingman Reuben Gallego has also been accused of abusing staffers. And banging them. He says the Peltola accusations are no big deal.

...Abdul refused IN HIS FACE.
"WE'RE DYING."
"You said you didn't want to comment on Ayatollah Khamenei's death...that silence left a GAPING HOLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. Do you renounce the people that held vigils that supported this TERRORIST? Do you stand against the Islamic Republic of Iran that killed 50,000 protestors? Please!"
ABDUL: My worry is when one decides we go in and take out the leadership of foreign government... *word salad against Trump's Iran intervention*
STUDENT: YOU STILL HAVEN'T SAID IT. WE'RE DYING.
ABDUL: I want to be careful.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?!
Abdul is an Islamist...he is MORE WORRIED about upsetting radical Islamic voters so he can win the election than standing with the civilians.
You know why? Because he knows that it nets him more votes.
If he tries to stand with the Iranian civilians, the Left would paint him as sympathizing with Trump. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
He hates Trump so much he's willing to stand with the IRGC. Vote for Mike Rogers!

Dozens of United Nations delegates walked out of the hall Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to deliver a speech in.
Addressing the UN's General Assembly in New York, Netanyahu described those walking out as "moral cowards". Those who remained and felt similarly should leave, he said.
...
The war was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
Israel responded by launching a military campaign in Gaza, during which more than 73,920 people have been killed, according to the territory's health ministry.
They say "according to the territory's health ministry" to avoid saying "according to the Hamas health ministry."
"You want to hear the ultimate irony? In defending itself, Israel is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall. In fact...many of their leaders even thank us privately for taking out Iran's nukes! It's hard to imagine more mind-blowing hypocrisy."
"Mr. Mamdani, you tried to STOP ME from coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you CAN'T silence me! You can't silence the truth!" *Applause*
"Mr. Mamdani...it's no wonder, you praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas, you count as friends people like Hasan Piker who said America deserve 9/11!"
"And here's the simple truth -- Israel didn't commit genoc*de. Israel prevented genoc*de! That's what Mamdani's Hamas buddies would've done to us had we not stopped them. They would've k*lled every last one of us."
This comes after Mamdani CAVED on his arrest warrant push for Netanyahu.
Mamdani never had any authority WHATSOEVER to block any foreign leader from New York City, NOR to arrest them. That authority rests entirely with President Trump and Marco Rubio
Which Marco DID do by blocking the "Palestinian" delegation
LOL.
He roasted the UK and France for accusing Israel of "colonialism."
"They accuse Israel -- little Israel -- of colonialism. And who is doing the accusing?
Among others, people in Britain and France.
For goodness sake, they are the ones who invented this concept -- their colonies stretched across the entire world.
Did Sonny Hostin Lie About Being the Holdout Juror in the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park Case?
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Earlier this week, Sonny Hostin bragged that she was the lone holdout that allowed the literal cannibal killer called "The Butcher of Tompkins Square Park" -- a man who murdered someone and then cut up the body and gave it to homeless people to eat to dispose of the evidence -- to beat a murder rap.
WTF - The View host Sunny Hostin, ADMITS that she was the holdout juror who kept the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park out of prison. 🇺🇸Join👉 @SGTnewsNetworkpic.twitter.com/JXSc7g71v8
But now it emerges that she was not the holdout juror -- an unemployed man was.
Why is Sunny Hostin lying about being the hold out juror? According to this article, Asunción "Sunny" Cummings Hostin is actually upset with the holdout juror, saying she believed the cannibal defendant was aware of his actions. She was upset w/the juror pushing for a NGBROI… pic.twitter.com/tzUFqkhhOQ
This is the funniest thing on the internet this morning.
Turns out Sunny Hostin was lying about being the lone holdout juror who got The Butcher of Tompkins Square Park off on murder charges.
The holdout was an unemployed guy who wanted the $15/day juror stipend to continue, and Hostin is quoted as being upset he got off:
"He knew what he was doing."
Earth to Sunny, the truth makes you look far better than the lie!

Unreal. This should drive her off the program.
She blatantly lied about her role as a juror in this case.
She claimed she was a holdout juror who convinced the other 11 who wanted to convict to change their minds.
But this article written at the time reveals her to be lying.
Grok confirms her true name prior to changing it was "Asunción Cummings."
Nicolas Fondacaro of MRC says the evidence isn't as clear as that NY Daily News article makes it seem. He says that Sonny Hostin was reported by one outlet as being one of the two holdout jurors.
But... even so, she would not be the lone holdout as she says, and also, it seems that the unemployed man was the main holdout, and if she eventually voted with him, it was just to reach a "compromise" with him.
Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein groveled for "mercy" during his sentencing in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday -- where prosecutors revealed his alleged plot to pay a podcaster $1.75 million to "instill fear" in his victims.
The decrepit 74-year-old ex-Miramax mogul had no visible reaction as Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber slapped him with 15 years behind bars, calling Weinstein a "sexual predator" who took advantage of his "insatiable appetite for sexual dominance."
...
Weinstein hired private investigators to track her [the victim he was imprisoned fro raping] after she came forward with her allegations, causing her to live with constant paranoia and "questioning every encounter I have," she added.
Prosecutors alleged during the hearing that they had recordings of Weinstein offering a podcaster $1.75 million in a jailhouse phone call to release videos to help his defense by "contaminating the jury pool and reaching the seated jurors before and after the trials."
Weinstein engaged in a "scheme to disrupt the trial and instill fear in his victims," Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg alleged.
Blumberg did not identify the podcaster, but Candace Owens released a podcast series in 2025 called "Harvey Speaks," which featured videos of Weinstein at the notorious city lockup.
Efforts to reach Owens directly Wednesday were unsuccessful. A spokesperson for Owens, Mitchell Jackson, said Wednesday that she was never paid by Weinstein.
Well, that's enough for me. Cavernous Nostrils has never lied or grifted or race-hustled in her entire life.
A Weinstein spokesman denies he paid a podcaster to tamper with a jury -- but does not deny that he paid a podcaster to get his side of the story out to the public.
Weinstein spokesperson Juda Engelmayer denied the jury tampering allegations.
"That characterization is patently untrue. Harvey never offered or paid anyone $1.75 million to influence a jury, and there was no such agreement," Engelmayer said.
"Talking with friends about media coverage or expressing frustration is a very different thing from paying someone to contaminate a jury pool or intimidate witnesses. No money was paid, no such deal was made, and portraying these conversations as a criminal-style 'scheme' is inflammatory and misleading," he said.
Is Candace Owens a "friend," then?
Guys, she really wants to take down the "Epstein Class."
Once she gets done shilling for Harvey Weinstein.
She'll have explosive evidence about Epstein, you guys, in tomorrow's big show. Stay tuned, dum-dums!
Candace Owens (conveniently) leaves out that, according to Candace herself, it was Harvey Weinstein’s team that reached out to her because “they thought I would be THE ONLY PERSON that would look at this fairly.”
Throwback to when Candace Owens really thought she was about to get Harvey Weinstein to implicate Jews and Israel in a massive conspiracy - only for it to BACKFIRE and bring Qatar and the Saudis into the story instead. 😂
A federal judge ordered President Donald Trump early Thursday to restore White House access to CNN, MSNOW and Politico, temporarily blocking his bid to ban them from accessing the executive mansion.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, said the news outlets had met the "high bar" for a preliminary injunction and that White House must "immediately return, reinstate, and restore" their access.
The legacy media outlets, including Fox, protested Trump by refusing to carry the White House pool reporting and footage that all other media rely on. I actually can understand Fox joining the embargo, because -- and strangely the leftwing media has forgotten all about this for some reason -- Obama repeatedly threatened to ban Fox from the White House. Fox thinks, probably wrongly, that if they join with the liberal media in solidarity in boycotting Trump, then they will rush in and boycott a Democrat president when he bans Fox.
I wouldn't count on that. Very much 2003 thinking. These are communists and the only thing that matters to them is the revolution and then the sweet, sweet purges thereafter.
President Donald Trump's ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds last week did more than pick a fight with three newsrooms. It exposed how easily the country's main picture of the presidency can go dark.
...
After the White House blocked CNN from its assigned turn in the five-network television pool, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News declined in solidarity to fill the slot.
As a result, there was no shared network video of Trump boarding Air Force One.
Additionally, at a South Lawn ribbon-cutting for a new Marine One helipad, helicopter noise swallowed his remarks on the White House livestream.
...
But one conservative network, Real America's Voice, a partner of Just the News, is stepping into the void to create competition and a backup plan.
The White House listed RAV as secondary TV crew for the New York trip to the United Nations General Assembly gathering and on Wednesday, RAV said it would offer its pool camera as a free, unbranded feed to any outlet.
"When the traditional television pool chose to stand down, somebody still had to show up, turn the cameras on, and make sure the American public had access to the President," Parker Sigg, RAV's vice president, told Just the News. "RAV was ready to do exactly that. We have the crews, the infrastructure, and the ability to distribute this coverage far beyond our own network.
Hello. Looks like a slow news day.
Yikes on bikes what I wouldn't give for a juicy Lesbian Long Covid story today.
The latest lunacy in western Massachusetts sounded like a parody of the worst excesses of the self-absorbed LGTBBQ activist set that takes literally every human interaction and views it through their own, deeply disturbed lens.
But it was real, and it was spectacular! They couldn't help themselves! They dialed it to 11 and signaled to the rest of the country that the woke left is still around, still bat-shit crazy, and still dangerous.
It is actually important that these disturbed and strange people continue to voice their post-modern blather enough that it goes public. It's the quiet ones working behind the scenes who are dangerous, but their useful idiots like the patrons of this bar simply can't shut the f*ck up about their psychoses, and it keeps the danger in the spotlight.
“Woke 1.0 was craaaazy,” AOC said, laughing off teens getting destroyed for smirking.
For a brief minute it looked like the normies had wrested control of the culture back from the crazies.
I regret to inform you, we did not.
If you thought Woke 1.0 was crazy, Woke 2.0 is psychotic.
I think we ARE wresting control back from the crazies, but they aren't going to give up without a fight, because they are part and parcel of the left, and they never, ever give up.
Their quiet work in the schools was exposed during the Covid debacle, when parents across the country finally got a glimpse of what was really being taught to their kids. And the wannabe Mengeles in our medical establishment became a little too vocal about what they were doing to our children, and what they wanted to do, and they got caught!
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis said, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant," And continuing to expose these anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-Western-culture fiends is vitally important. The worst thing that can happen is if they shut up and continue their work to dismantle our culture, destroy our families, and usher in the supposed nirvana of the progressives.

A federal judge ordered US President Donald Trump on Thursday to restore White House access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, saying his ban on the three media outlets was likely unconstitutional. In a major setback for Trump in one of his biggest battles with the media, US District Judge Tim Kelly issued his order in a lawsuit that the news organizations filed contesting the ban that the Republican president announced on Sept. 18. Kelly ordered the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and blocked officials from enforcing the ban for 14 days.
“The President concluded that [the banned outlets] have failed to maintain basic minimum ‘standards of professionalism and decorum expected of those given access to the White House Complex, including’ by ‘publishing sensitive or classified information… In response, the President has preliminarily revoked their continued access to White House grounds… After all, access to the White House is a privilege—not a right.” – DOJ filing
Yeah, that'll really show 'em! To borrow a quote from Democrat Socialist Numero Uno Joe Stalin How many divisions does the Judiciary have?! If only President Trump and indeed all of us took that to heart and made it our slogan.
A Florida history teacher allegedly tried to “cancel” an eighth-grader enrolled at one of the state’s elite schools for his conservative beliefs – and now she’s facing calls to be fired.
Liz Ballard, a teacher at Pine View School in Osprey, Fla., is accused of singling out the boy as the “conservative perspective” in her classes before describing him as a “misogynist” and spreading the slur around the school, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a letter on Monday.
Ballard allegedly “harassed, disparaged and deliberately tried to ‘cancel’ an eighth-grade student for his conservative views” during her debates — even though he had previously warned her “his parents expressly forbid him to take part,” according to Uthmeier’s letter. She “singled out this student and in defiance of his parents’ express instructions, pressured him to defend political positions… in front of his classmates,” the pol said, engaging in what he described as the “reputational destruction of a child.” Ballard has been the subject of “multiple” HR investigations and at the center of parents’ complaints, according to Uthmeier, who has called for her to be dismissed if the claims are legitimate.
The investigation into the teacher has spanned several months, Jason Means, the President of the Sarasota Classified Teachers Association, said, according to WFLA. . . In 2023, the school was named a National Blue Ribbon School by the Department of Education — an award that recognizes excellence or schools that close achievement gaps among students.

Turns out, they are far more interested in getting Democrats elected and pushing far-left causes.

Trump, on the other hand, has cost China dearly. He has radically reduced China’s inroads into the Western Hemisphere, ousting its agents from Venezuela and the Panama Canal.
With the Cuban dictatorship apparently unable to keep the lights on, and China now permanently shut out of Greenland, Beijing’s losses in the Americas appear certain to keep piling up.
Add to this Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “Economic D-Day” sanctions on Iran.
These are disrupting China’s financial ties with the Islamist regime, even as Iran’s attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and its threat of tolls hammer Beijing’s energy imports: China already pays $25 a barrel more for oil than the rest of the world. China’s leader also has major headaches back home — anemic consumer spending, a collapsing real-estate market, rising unemployment levels, an aging population and a national debt three times larger than our own (thanks, in part, to Trump’s tariffs).
Negotiating with Communists and terrorists (but I repeat myself) only ends one way. As the Xi meeting is being hyped, the People’s Republic of China is taking great care not to offend the United States of America by taking any drastic steps like… openly stealing our military hardware. Chinese authorities are reportedly in possession of F-35 stealth fighter parts after components of the aircraft were “inexplicably diverted to Hong Kong.”
Shipping giant UPS was sending a cockpit canopy and weapons bay door to the U.S. from Australia in late May when it was diverted, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing sources Both parts were coated with a radar absorbing material that enhances their stealth capabilities, the sources said, and it was not clear why the shipment was diverted to Hong Kong. Inexplicably! Were there any Mainland Chinese citizens in the decision loop working at UPS?

Got Nethack Hack ported to my 1980s 10-bit home computer. It didn't fit, though. The binary was 170k on a VAX - I found an original Usenet post reporting that - but compiled to 280k on my microcomputer architecture, and the emulator only gives it 256k. The VAX wasn't particularly fast which is why it was later eclipsed by RISC architectures, but the code was concise.
So I tried reinventing the UCSD p-System to see if that could solve the problem and it shrank the binary to just under 100k. So now I'm building a Pascal compiler written in Pascal that runs in the emulator and produces virtual instructions that are interpreted by a runtime on the emulated processor.

Champagne lovers may find themselves getting tipsy more quickly after French producers have been given the go-ahead to raise the alcohol content in a bottle of bubbly for the first time following this summer's record heatwave.
Winemakers can temporarily produce champagne with an alcohol content of up to 15% - above the 13% cap, industry officials have said.
The extreme heat and drought produced grapes with exceptionally higher sugar levels. Yeast converts sugar into alcohol during fermentation.
The temporary increase in champagne's alcohol content is only expected to affect a small number of wines, a spokeswoman for the Comite Champagne told the BBC.
During the second fermentation process, which gives champagne its bubbles, "a very small number of wines from this harvest could have slightly exceeded the regulatory limit of 13%, reaching around 13.1% or 13.2%."
"Therefore a decision was made to exceptionally and temporarily increase the regulatory limit to 15% - only for this year," she said.
I shouldn't be surprised but I did not know that French regulations set the max for Champagne. That being the case, I'm also surprised at the decision. Only a small number that might possibly go over by a tenth or two, so let's raise the limit by two percent. If you're going over, might as well go big!

Tonight's feature is a YouTube channel called Project Farm. Todd is the YouTube modern day version of Consumer Reports. He takes a product segment, buys the products, evaluates them and shares the results.
The YouTube genre of product comparisons is crowded. "Buy this!" "Avoid this!" "Epic comparison of XYZ tools!" Most come across as shallow and clickbait. Todd has a formula that is not shouty, consistent, and infuses science and objective measures to reach concrete conclusions.
He started nine years ago with videos that mostly asked and answered "Does this work?" type questions. He accepts no sponsorships or promotional items from manufacturers. He relies on YouTube and Patreon for funding.
His niche is the shop and home - hand and power tools, lubricants, batteries, cleaners, flashlights, engine additives, paper shredders, etc. He tries brand names and no-names across the range from expensive to cheap.
The channel has over 3.93 million subscribers. Video counts vary by product, but often approach and exceed a million views each. He typically posts one new video a week.

Feds arrest, indict hundreds in Trump voter fraud crackdown: 'Catching it all over the country'
The Justice Department says its crackdown on noncitizen voting and election fraud has already produced more than 200 arrests and indictments, with that number possibly doubling soon and state election officials themselves now facing potential charges for looking the other way.
Since the Trump Justice Department warned state and local election officials that they could be charged with allowing fraudulent voting activities, more than 200 arrests and indictments have been secured in a crackdown on election fraud and noncitizen voting, and that number could double soon, a top official revealed to Just the News.
"I think there are a lot of nervous election officials because I think some of them know that they've been looking the other way when this is happening, and we're catching it all over the country," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said Monday night in an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show.
Dhillon also hinted at further developments in the coming weeks, suggesting her department has developed evidence calling into question New Jersey's claim that a computer glitch allowed thousands of foreigners to register to vote in that state and about 400 to actually cast ballots in violation of law.
"I'm not sure we have the correct numbers from New Jersey. They're not really cooperating with us, and so we will get to the bottom of what happened there. And you know, New Jersey tried to blame a vendor for a mistake or a glitch, quote unquote. But you know, I think there'll be another side to that story," she said.
The software vendor Dhillon referred to is IDEMIA, which told Just the News in July that it was the responsibility of New Jersey officials to verify voter registration.
...
Dhillon further stated that in the past several weeks, her office has indicted or convicted 67 individuals for election-related crimes, while the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made more than 160 arrests.
...
Left-wing organizations, including the Brookings Institution, the Brennan Center for Justice, and the American Immigration Council, among others, have all claimed that noncitizen voting is either not happening or is incredibly rare.
Recent data suggests otherwise.
Over the weekend, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Fox News that his agency is investigating 1,620 cases of voter fraud involving noncitizens and has made 151 arrests. He said his department is also looking into an additional 300,000 cases based on states' voter rolls.
"We're scrubbing them. We're comparing them to those that are in the country illegally, those that are legal permanent residents and those that are citizens" Mullin told Fox News contributor and former White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany.

Swedish election update.
There's now the possibility of a NEW ELECTION in the affected area after authorities are investigating possible ELECTION FRAUD.
A man from Somalia who got Swedish citizenship 7 months ago was elected to parliament for the Left.
It's reported that people were given money and pre filled ballots and were driven to voting location.
The constituency of Dalarna could see a rerun of the election take place with around 223,000 eligible voters.
With the confirmation that former CIA Director John Brennan received a subpoena to testify in the ongoing "grand conspiracy" weaponization probe based in Florida, prosecutors appear to be zeroing in on how the ex-spy was at the beginning, middle, and aftermath of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
...
According to the filing, government prosecutor Kurt Olsen told Brennan's counsel the probe is "far-reaching" and includes "issues at Mar-a-Lago and beyond." It is aimed at assessing whether Trump's civil rights were violated. The prosecutor reportedly told Brennan's lawyer he was also the "subject" of a separate investigation for alleged false statements to Congress.
...
Brennan's fingerprints were on the opening of the federal probe that became the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump and his campaign. Brennan previously testified to Congress in 2017 that the U.S. Intelligence Community had gathered evidence of contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian government by July 2016 to initiate an investigation. It was at that point, he told lawmakers, that the CIA set up a special group with both the FBI and the NSA to probe alleged Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election.
...
What Brennan did not tell congressional investigators at the time was that he was personally made aware of intelligence that same month that then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton personally approved a project to gin up a bogus Russia scandal against her GOP opponent, according to Special Counsel John Durham. Durham had probed the handling of the Trump-Russia investigation. Brennan even briefed President Barack Obama and senior administration officials on Clinton's plan, but, not only did Obama's team fail to stop it, it allowed the FBI to push the investigation into the same allegations raised by the campaign, Durham noted.
Durham ultimately concluded in his final report that the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened the Crossfire Hurricane probe of President Donald Trump's campaign in the summer of 2016. Durham also found the FBI and Justice Department failed to follow their own standards and allowed the probe to persist with a questionable basis under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
James Talarico's pastor says, on Easter of all days, that Jesus did not literally come back from the dead, which essentially nullifies all of Christianity. Except for the part about having to accept unlimited immigration because Joseph and Mary were Illegal Immigrants, didn't you know that, Bigot?

There is an Army saying you hear dozens of times when you make full colonel: "Congratulations, that's the last promotion you will ever make based solely on merit."
The idea behind that saying is that when it comes time to compete for a 1-star promotion, you need a sponsor, and… https://t.co/hocpfxUJUV

Podcast: CBD is solo and just checking in! Trump's UN speech is a success, the Last Ditch Bar in Western MA keeps their lunacy in the spotlight, and the White House plays hardball with the media and the judiciary...as it should!
Somebody should write a book about the greatest drinking stories of O'Toole, Burton, Harris, and Caine. One of my faves was Richard Harris went on a six week bender in the South of France without telling wifey. Upon return, she's screaming, and he simply replied "why didn't you pay the ransom"?
Podcast: Did the SCOTUS leftists slow-walk the USPS decision, Newsom's mendacious pledge not to run if Harris does, Canada's return to the trade negotiations, AI fear-mongering, The Goo Goo Dolls are adults, and more!

That funny feeling again winding me up inside

So many contacts being made
We've got up-front fanatics
Tearing down the barricade
To reach the stage
Can you feel the rage?
Podcast: Is the Iran situation reaching a steady state? The UK sides with the enemies of the West, Vance the Squish? France and Germany and their coming elections, Canada trade war is one-sided, and Clancy is evil incarnate!
Dear RNC; Go f*ck yourselves. I have gotten 56 texts in the last two weeks...all offensive and sneaky and all begging for money. At this point I would rather donate to AOC. [CBD]
"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."
He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."
from anon2020 So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.
Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too. I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
