Former Apprentice Producer Claims Trump Said ‘Would America Buy A N***** Winning?’ — And It’s On Tape
“Ginni Thomas launched her lobbying firm, Liberty Consulting, in 2010. Her firm’s website promoted her work by quoting a client affirming that she is able to “give access to any door in Washington”—which occurs in part thanks to…Leo and his money.”
Leonard Leo Thinks He’s Above the Law, Too
The Senate has subpoenaed him over his lavish gifts to justices. So far, he hasn’t complied. Leo’s brazen defense explaining why he is not complying with the subpoena is that it is “lawless.” In a bit of flagrant projection, he said the Senate Judiciary Committee’s investigation of judicial corruption was nothing but “the left’s dark money effort to silence and cancel political opposition.”

DC attorney discipline board recommends Rudy Giuliani be disbarred for bogus 2020 election fraud claim

“We conclude that disbarment is the only sanction that will protect the public, the courts, and the integrity of the legal profession, and deter other lawyers from launching similarly baseless claims in the pursuit of such wide-ranging yet completely unjustified relief,” the attorney discipline board wrote Friday.

‘Cut funding’: Experts say Congress should ‘make justices’ work conditions miserable’
Legal analysts, however, came up with some ideas that the Senate could implement on the Supreme Court.
“Just a reminder that the markup for the FY’25 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill, which contains the funding for the federal judiciary, is just around the corner!” wrote Georgetown University professor Josh Chafetz. I was thinking more of just cutting funding for air conditioning, clerks, the building, etc.
Strip the court’s budget of all but Justices’ salaries. Make Clarence and Sam scrub the floors, change light bulbs and their own typing and see how long their billionaire-manicured sensibilities hold up then.

A TIMELINE OF THE GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSE ON JAN. 6, 2021
The precise timeline of events on Jan. 6, 2021 — the day that a mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump’s false claims of election fraud stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of the presidential election — has emerged as one of the critical open questions about that day. Even before the rioters left the building, there were already conflicting reports about the sequence of events, who knew what, when they knew it, and what actions they took.
Who are the “supersharers” of fake news on Twitter?
Middle-aged Republican white women living in Arizona, Florida, and Texas.

The authors found that supersharers were disproportionately Republican, middle-aged White women residing in three conservative states, Arizona, Florida, and Texas, which are focus points of contentious abortion and immigration battles. Their neighborhoods were poorly educated but relatively high in income. Supersharers persistently retweeted misinformation manually. These insights are relevant for policymakers developing effective mitigation strategies to curtail misinformation. —Ekeoma Uzogara
Tornado Cash Devs Charged With Helping Hackers Launder $1B, Including Infamous North Korean Attacks
Both Roman Semenov and Roman Storm were charged; Storm was arrested. Roman Storm’s DEEP hidden connection to StormX, the timing of his arrest in August of 2023, and the money laundering sanctions tied to North Korea are very interesting. I wonder who and what led to his arrest.

‘Pastafarian’ allowed to wear spaghetti strainer on her head
08 Sep 2014
* Shawna Hammond was permitted the unusual headgear in Oklahoma
* She said the colander represents her ‘religious freedom’
* Pastafarianism was created in 2005 and has followers across the world
* Members believe an invisible alien made of spaghetti and meatballs created the universe after ‘drinking heavily’
A female driver in Oklahoma was allowed to pose for her driver’s license wearing a spaghetti strainer on her head because it falls under the state’s rules for religious headwear.
Shawna Hammond claims she needs to wear the colander as it is part of her faith as a Pastafarian in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Pastafarianism, which was founded by an atheist in 2005 to protest against the teaching of creationism in school and to poke fun at religion, uses the spaghetti strainer as its symbol.

Ms Hammond explained that she was allowed to take the photo because she obeyed the state’s laws that requires people remove their glasses and wear a religious headpiece that does not cover their face, create shadows, or display text or logos.
‘I asked if I could wear my religious headwear and he said, yes — it just couldn’t have any logos, or any type of writing. I told him it didn’t, and I went out to my car and got my colander.
‘It doesn’t cover my face. I mean, you can still see my face. We have to take off our glasses, so I took off my glasses,’ Ms Hammond told Fox6 Now.

Ms Hammond is an Atheist and believes no one should be forced into certain beliefs.
‘For me the colander represents freedom, our freedom of religion, and to whatever religion that we prefer, or even lack of religion,’ Ms Hammond said.
KFOR reports the Oklahoma Highway Patrol is to review Ms Hammond’s driver’s license photo to ensure it does not violate any rules.
If it is found to be within the guidelines the Highway Patrol says it may consider changing the rule regarding religious headwear because it is more than 10 years old.

Lukas Novy exercising his right to wear a sieve on head for religious grounds in official ID for the Czech Republic
Last year a Czech man was allowed to wear his bizarre headgear on his official identity card after officials ruled that turning down his request would be a breach of the country’s religious equality laws.
In 2011, three years after applying for a new driver’s licence, an Austrian man finally received the laminated card – in which he is pictured with an upturned sieve on his head.
Niko Alm sent his application for a new driver’s licence in 2008 along with a picture of himself with a colander on his head.
The stunt got him an invitation to the doctor’s to check he was mentally fit to drive, but after three years, his efforts finally paid off.
PASTAFARIAN: CHURCH OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER
In 2005, a physics graduate from Oregon State wrote a letter about a ‘Flying Spaghetti Monster’ as a form of protest against the Kansas State Board of Education’s decision to allow the teaching of Intelligent Design as an alternative to evolution in public schools.
By professing belief in a supernatural entity composed of pasta and meatballs, Bobby Henderson, 24, called on ‘Pastafarianism’ to be given equal time in science classrooms alongside Christian theory.
Word rapidly spread and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (CFSM) now has thousands of followers, mainly on college campuses and in Europe.
The central tenet of CFSM is that an invisible Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe ‘after drinking heavily’.
Pastafarians celebrate every Friday as a holy day – and consider pirates ‘absolute divine beings’.
