Aaron Bushnell claimed he had secret knowledge of US troops fighting in Hamas tunnels under Gaza — just hours before setting himself on fire in an “extreme act of protest” against Israel, a close pal told The Post on Tuesday. The 25-year-old airman — who served in the Air Force’s 70th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing, but also interacted with radical anarchist groups online — ranted that he had “top-secret clearance’’ for military intelligence data in the call to his friend Saturday night, he said.
 

The Night Bill Murray and Chevy Chase Fought Just Before ‘SNL’ Went Live

Saturday Night Live is, by nature and to some extent by design, a pressure cooker. Performers and writers are expected to compete as much as collaborate in the show’s rush toward the inviolable weekly 11:30 p.m. airtime, and, as more than one backstage personality has said over the years, the Saturday Night Live formula is not conducive to anyone’s mental health. Still, the always tension-filled SNL atmosphere only once, as far as the voluminous behind-the-scenes history tells it, ignited into actual physical violence. That was the infamous Feb. 18, 1978, episode, when former cast member Chevy Chase returned to Saturday...

The main entrance to Dodger Stadium was briefly shut down Friday afternoon by a crowd protesting the honoring of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a satirical performance and activist organization considered blasphemous by some Christians, as part of the team’s 10th annual Pride Night.

Several hours before the first pitch was thrown at the Los Angeles Dodgers' Pride Night, a large group of protesters gathered outside the stadium gates. The religious organization Catholics for Catholics, which has previously described The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence as "Godless" and "Christ-mocking," planned to travel to Dodger Stadium Friday in protest of the Dodgers' decision to recognize the charity group. Earlier this week, Catholics for Catholics announced its intention to hold a four-hour "prayerful procession" in the hours leading up to Friday's game. The Sisters will receive the Community Hero Award during a pregame ceremony as part of...

REAL News Michiana has obtained security video showing Democrat St. Joseph County Clerk of the Circuit Court, Rita Glenn, entering the secured absentee ballot area alone after business hours. In the video, Glenn enters the area with a grocery bag, then exits with several documents and throws them away. The video was taken by security cameras in the hallway outside of the secured absentee voting area in the Clerk’s office and appears to show Glenn potentially ripping the documents up prior to shoving them down the sides of a blue disposal bin in an attempt to conceal them. Glenn is...
 

Don v Ron: It's ON! DeSantis finally breaks his silence to take a shot at Trump by telling him to 'check out the scoreboard from Tuesday night' - hours before ex-President's big announcement at Mar-a-Lago

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dismissed Donald Trump's recent spate of angry attacks against him as 'noise' and touted his own strong election record in the 2022 midterms during a press conference on Tuesday. DeSantis fired back at the former president hours before Trump is expected to announce another campaign for the White House at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday night. It's the latest hit in the two GOP giants' Sunshine State turf war, and a larger fight for control of the Republican Party. DeSantis has enraged Trump by refusing to rule out a primary challenge against him in 2024....
 

‘Red wave’ or ‘red mirage’? Preliminary numbers reported on election night might not stand when all votes are counted in Nevada (take a deep breath before reading)

Las Vegas Sun ^
Much like how former President Donald Trump preemptively and falsely proclaimed victory in the wee hours after Election Day in 2020, Republicans who are leading their respective midterm election races may be quick to do the same on Tuesday. Preliminary results on election night could well depict a “red mirage” that would show GOP candidates like gubernatorial hopeful Joe Lombardo and U.S. Senate hopeful Adam Laxalt with commanding leads over their Democratic counterparts, said David Damore, a political science expert at UNLV. But as early votes and mail-in ballots are processed, the script could flip on Republicans as it did...

The last known Pearl Harbor survivor in Nevada died in his sleep this week at the age of 99, but not before joking around with his nurses once last time. Edward 'Ed' Hall died around 2:45 a.m. on Wednesday at the North Las Vegas VA Medical Center, according to his friend Greg Mannarino. Mannarino told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he visited his longtime friend the night before he passed away, and that he was 'full of life' as he joked with the nurses. Hall was in the U.S. Army Air Corps and only 18 years old when Japan launched...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday mocked the GOP's positions on abortion rights after Sen. Lindsey Graham introduced legislation that would ban abortion nationwide after 15 weeks of pregnancy and many of his fellow Republicans dismissed the proposal. "I think what you're seeing there is a conflict within the Republican Party. There are those in the party who think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before," Pelosi told reporters during her press conference when asked about Graham's bill and other Republicans' reactions.
 

I tried the ‘miracle’ hangover pill before a night out – this is what happened

Telegraph ^ | July 9 | By Joe Pinkstone
It’s called Myrkl (pronounced miracle, not Merkel, like the long-serving German chancellor) and a pack of 30 tablets can be bought online for £30 ($36). It works, the company claims, by speeding up the rate at which the body breaks down alcohol over a period of 12 hours. So, in theory, if you take the tablets before an evening’s entertainment then you should wake up the next morning with a clear head. The drink was a pint of lager. Then, on arrival at the event, at 7:30pm, I was greeted with a glass of lovely fizz. I’m reliably informed it...

“I talked to him 13 hours before [Monday’s massacre]. That’s why I guess I’m in such shock. … Like, did he have a psychiatric break or something?” the father said of his son. On Tuesday, Steven Greenberg, who previously represented R. Kelly in the fallen singing superstar’s federal sex-trafficking case out of Brooklyn, announced that Crimo Jr. and his estranged wife, Denise, had retained him in the wake of their son’s arrest. The father, a onetime local mayoral candidate who used to run a neighborhood sandwich shop, has faced a wave of criticism for sponsoring his son’s gun license application,...
 

‘Night of Rage’ Looms After SCOTUS Decision, McCarthy to Biden: Prevent Violence ‘Before It’s Too Late’

Breitbart ^ | June 24, 2022 | Nick Gilbertson
House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is calling on President Biden to direct the “Justice Department to deter and prevent violence against Supreme Court Justices, churches, and pro-life pregnancy centers,” on the heels of the Supreme Court’s landmark Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. A pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge previously announced plans to carry out a “Night of Rage” that would follow the decision. McCarthy issued his calls to the president via Twitter shortly after the Supreme Court announced its ruling on the Dobbs case, overturning the longstanding 1973 Roe V. Wade decision. He implored Biden to act immediately...
