    A California judge has formally recommended that attorney John Eastman lose his law license for his role in Donald Trump's legal effort to remain in power after losing the 2020 presidential election. Eastman, a prominent figure in conservative legal circles and a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, played a key role in developing and backing a plan for states to send pro-Trump slates of electors to Congress and have then-Vice President Mike Pence unilaterally block or delay the certification of Joe Biden's election victory. "Eastman's wrongdoing constitutes exceptionally serious ethical violations warranting severe professional discipline," wrote California...

    Rivers Cuomo has revealed how a simple trip to the grocery store helped Weezer create their 1994 self-titled debut, commonly referred to as the Blue Album. In hindsight, it’s easy to see why the LP was a success. The Blue Album is chock full of such modern classics as “Buddy Holly,” “Say It Ain’t So” and “Undone (The Sweater Song).” Still, Weezer was an unknown band at the time, and there was no guarantee that anyone would pay attention to them. After signing their record deal, the band wanted to self-produce their debut album. However, the label wasn’t comfortable giving...

    South Carolina has collected about $1.8 billion in a bank account over the past decade and state and private accountants are still trying to figure out where the cash came from and where it was supposed to go. “It's like going into your bank and the bank president tells you we have a lot of money in our vault but we just don't know who it belongs to,” said Republican Sen. Larry Grooms, who is leading a Senate panel investigating the problem. It's the latest trouble with the state's books and the two agencies, typically led by elected officials, that...

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law on Wednesday that empowers residents in the state to have law enforcement immediately evict squatters from homes instead of having the situation devolve into a drawn out legal battle, and increases the criminal penalties against squatters. DeSantis signed the bill at a press conference as recent incidents of home squatters have gone viral in Democrat strongholds like California and New York. “So we’re here today because you assume in America if you purchase a home and own a residence that that’s your residence, that if you happen to maybe split time...

Doctors had to perform a seven-hour operation to remove the tumour after she had a 90-minute seizure. They were able to remove it all and she has...

    When a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, last year, Pete Buttigieg drew criticism for not showing up right away. In responding to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge — a far different crisis, this time at the center of his portfolio — he’s not making that mistake again. On the day the bridge collapsed, Buttigieg had planned a trip to Wyoming and Montana — what would have amounted to his 47th and 48th states visited as Transportation secretary — to tour infrastructure projects. But before leaving from Dulles International Airport on Tuesday, his work cell phone buzzed...

    An airline passenger flying out of New York City captured remarkably clear footage of a saucer-shaped object zipping past the plane at an incredible speed. The tantalizing video was reportedly recorded this past Monday on a flight from NYC to Florida and subsequently popped up on Reddit by way of a friend of the person who filmed the peculiar anomaly. In the footage, as the airliner ascends over the city, there is a split-second moment wherein something strange crosses the sky outside the window of the plane. When the footage is slowed down or paused (as seen in the presentation...
