I’m taken down by YouTube. I can have that dispute with him since it’s a private firm. So, how about you? Are you going to take a look at that? I often claim that natural protection against illness is on…

After the Supreme Court’s draft judgment emerged on May 2, indicating the court’s determination to overturn Roe v. Wade, Lightfoot stated that LGBTQ+ rights were in danger. “To my LGBTQ+ friends, this same Supreme Court is on its way to us.” This should serve as a rallying point.” It was revealed on Twitter by Lightfoot. “We will not abandon our independence without a fight – a battle to victory!” the Mayor said in regard to her earlier statement.

More than $350 million in secretive “royalty” payments from drug companies and other third parties over a 10-year period were reaped by Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins and other bigwigs at the National Institutes of Health, according to a new report from a watchdog organization. The royalty payments, including at least 23 to Fauci and 14 to his former boss, Collins, were paid out between 2010 and 2020, the report from OpenTheBooks.com said.

Just days before jury selection was to start, a former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney set to go on trial for allegedly lying to the FBI, that notes from a top former FBI official undercut the case against him. In 2016, attorney Michael Sussmann allegedly told James Baker, an FBI attorney, that he was bringing allegations concerning then-presidential candidate Donald Trump to the agency on his own accord, not on behalf of a client. Prosecuting the case in April, Special counsel John Durham, revealed that Sussmann told Baker as much in a text before they met. This is what Sussmann told…

Rachel Maddow, the MSNBC host, reintroduced herself jokingly to her viewers when she returned to her show, after a five-week hiatus. A new contract she signed with the network means that she will be taking more time off, as Maddow will only host her MSNBC show on Monday nights going forward. It will allow her time to work on other projects for MSNBC and NBC, including a film version of her award-winning podcast Bag Man, directed by Ben Stiller. Maddow has hosted her popular show for nearly 14 years, so some would say that it’s the end of an era…

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) issued a curt three-word rebuttal when news leaked that President Biden’s Tuesday speech would include an assault on the GOP, accusing them of having no strategy to battle inflation. “Republicans love to cite inflation as a campaign issue, but does anyone have a notion what their strategy is to drive down prices?” claimed a White House official who requested not to be named, according to Reuters. “Stop…spending…MONEY!!” Cruz said. “Fewer than half of U.S. people – 44 percent approve of Biden’s handling of the president, and they consider the economy as the country’s most critical concern,…

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis takes a small legal victory over Disney when a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit challenging his law that would dissolve Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District. The judge rejected the claims made by a Democrat lawyer who’s running for Senate. A report on the complaint that says at least three residents of the Orange and Osceola counties claimed that S.B. 4-C, the law that would essentially remove Disney’s ability to operate an independent governmental entity, specifically around the Orlando-area theme parks, is unconstitutional and threatens residents with higher taxes while stepping on free speech and violating…

For several years, one of the greatest storylines in Hollywood has been major companies limiting or changing content to satisfy China. However, according to a new claim, at least one amusement organization was not inclined to play this game. Sony Pictures declined to make adjustments to its 2021 blockbuster “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in order to obtain a broadcast in the Middle Kingdom, according to multiple unidentified insiders who spoke to the Hollywood trade journal Puck. “Chinese regulators” (China’s National Film Administration reports to the Chinese Communist Union) were reportedly upset by “patriotic” moments in the film’s final action climax…

Hunter Biden, President Biden’s notoriously troubled son awaits the results of a Delaware grand jury’s investigation into his personal finances, while a big-shot Hollywood lawyer reportedly paid off his delinquent taxes, which reportedly amounted to more than $2 million.

Morris has also been funding the 52-year-old’s lifestyle in Los Angeles, including his rent…

UPDATE: it got fixed to say Amber Heard again. Amber Heard’s surname, if not her face, is soiled amidst the Johnny Depp trial, at least as shown in a Google search and the National Movie Archive itself. Indeed, it looks that AH’s official name has been changed to “Amber Turd” anywhere within IMDb’s CMS, as it displays when you Google her. This is what appeared in the search results on her IMDb page as of Saturday noon. When you visit her profile on the website, though, her surname is spelled correctly. The typo of ‘Turd’ shows on both mobile and…

During Monday’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” a protester outdoors of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s residence threw an f-bomb live on camera, causing presenter & Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson immediately shut off the live shot.

“MAGA is saving America,” Former President Trump said, and slammed President Biden for being “divisive” when he called MAGA the “most extreme political organization that’s existed in recent American history.” “MAGA is saving America. Our country is going to hell. MAGA is saving America,” said Trump. “Inflation, incompetent withdrawals from Afghanistan, leaving hostages horribly wounded, soldiers, $85 billion of military equipment – MAGA is saving America,” continued Trump, adding the U.S. is “no longer respected throughout the world.” MAGA is saving our country,” said Trump again. This was Trump’s response to Biden, who, reacting Wednesday to the leaked draft opinion…

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., not only should Congress pass a law to legalize abortion nationwide, they should increase the size of the Supreme Court and add liberal justices, due to his response to the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade if published. Schiff proposed through a tweet what is commonly known as court-packing, in which he said he is not concerned with how Justice Samuel Alito’s draft leaked to the press, as Republicans have expressed outrage over it. “I don’t care how the draft leaked. That’s a sideshow. What I care about is that a…

The Russian government has suffered a number of setbacks as a result of the conflict in Ukraine. Moscow has had nothing to celebrate in terms of displaying competent military power, from the loss of its Slava-type ship Moskva in April to the notorious 40 miles long Russian army convoy holdup outside Kyiv early in the conflict. A Russian T-90M a new and unique main combat tank has been wrecked on the ground by Ukrainian forces, according to photographic evidence. On May 4, The Kyiv Independent’s defense system correspondent Illia Ponomarenko posted a photo on Twitter that purports to show the…

Madonna is famous for insulting religion rather than practicing it. That’s why the 63-year-old pop singer raised a few eyebrows when she tweeted at the Pope, requesting a meeting. In the message, she also characterized herself as a “devout Catholic.” “Good morning, @Pontifex Francis I am a devout Catholic. I swear! I mean, I never swear! My last confession was a couple of decades ago. Is it feasible to meet up someday to talk about some significant issues? Three times I’ve been excommunicated. It doesn’t appear to be equitable. “With love, Madonna,” the message concluded. Madonna was attacked by the…

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) isn’t very popular among Republicans, having voted twice to convict ex-President Donald Trump during his impeachment. However, the 75-year-old legislator is a realist. Following two dozen Trump-backed contenders winning the Republican primary victory on Tuesday, Romney predicted that Trump will run again in 2024 and that he will win. Romney told Axios, “It’s hard to see anything that would undermine his support.” “So, if he chooses to be the nominee in ’24, I believe he has a good chance of doing so.” Romney also admitted something. He stated, “I don’t mislead myself towards thinking I have…
