    On Saturday, we caught Michael Cohen, appearing on Katie Phang's MSNBC show, speaking of Marjorie 'Toilet' Greene.But that was mild compared to the truly vile, misogynistic tweet that Rick Wilson, of the disgraced Lincoln Project, recently made about the anatomy of the Republican congresswoman from Georgia. After traveling to Manhattan for the Trump arraignment, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, Taylor Greene said of NYC: "It was repulsive, it smells bad, and I just I think it’s a terrible place." In response, Wilson tweeted: "But enough about her lady business.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Taiwan said it had detected jets to its east, while China said its Shandong aircraft carrier had taken part. Beijing began the exercises on Saturday after Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen met the US House Speaker in California. After the drills ended, Taiwan's defence ministry said it would not stop strengthening its combat preparedness.

    Bud Light's vice president said she wanted to update its 'fratty' branding with 'inclusivity' days before Dylan Mulvaney's partnership was unveiled. Alissa Heinerscheid spoke on a business podcast on March 30 to claim that the Anheuser-Busch beer had been 'in decline for a really long time' - despite it being America's number one brew with a market share of more than 13 percent. The Harvard graduate stated that it was essential that the brand attract more female and younger drinkers because otherwise 'there will be no future for Bud Light.' Heinerscheid, 39, gave her expertise just three days before a...

    A book about Anne Frank has been removed from a Florida school library after a parent group complained that it was sexually explicit and minimized the Holocaust. The tome titled “Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation” was yanked from the shelves at Vero Beach High School in Indian River County after Moms for Liberty voiced concerns, WPTV reported. “We think true history absolutely needs to be taught, the Holocaust, the Anne Frank diary,” Jennifer Pippin, chairwoman of the group’s local chapter, told the outlet. But she argued that it was inappropriate that the book features illustrations of the girl strolling...

    A simulation based on apocalyptic images designed to highlight “the disastrous effects of climate change” had the opposite impact on those who viewed it and failed to shift attitudes, a study from Singapore Management University details. The work was based on Hong Kong citizens being shown a life-like 3D depiction of a climate-induced six-metre storm surge on their city. It sought to use virtual simulations of future extreme weather events to communicate climate change risk.

    This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

    The Dalai Lama has apologised after an unsettling video appeared on social media in which he kissed a young Indian boy on the lips before asking him to 'suck' his tongue. Footage of the uncomfortable incident showed the moment the Tibetan spiritual leader invited the boy on stage during a charity event at his temple in Dharamshala, India in February. In the video, the boy asks the Dalai Lama 'can I hug you?', to which Tenzin Gyatso responds: 'Okay - come!' The spiritual leader first asks the boy to kiss him on the cheek, before pointing at his lips. He...

    Bruce Springsteen’s veteran E-Street band guitarist Steven Van Zandt issued a call to fans and supporters on social media Sunday to “Exterminate the (Republican) cockroaches.” His rallying cry to target GOP supporters, half of America, came during an expletive-laden exchange on Twitter. It began when the guitarist ventured forth by abusing what he called “Republican White Supremicist scumbag cowards and pussies that need guns to feel like real men” after TN representatives demanded gun controls. Van Zandt was then called out on Twitter by a follower for his abuse, which he quickly resumed.

    CHICAGO — The mother of an 8-year-old boy who took her gun to school and accidentally fired it in a classroom last year has been sentenced to 24 months of probation. Tatanina Kelly, 29, received the sentence after pleading guilty to child endangerment before Judge Megan Goldish, according to court records. Last May, officials said that Kelly’s son took a 9-millimeter Glock from under her bed and took it to class at Walt Disney Magnet School, 4130 North Marine Drive. The gun fired as the boy showed it to a classmate, and a bullet ricocheted off the floor, causing graze...

    Alvin Bragg could face criminal prosecution by the Justice Department if it deems the damages serious enough. the statute of limitations for 18 USC §242 is seven years. He has until April of 2030 to wait for a knock on his door by a friendly federal SWAT team. Is there any chance we'll have a Republican-appointed A.G. sometime before 2030? A consensus has been reached by the legal panels at the alphabet soup media outlets — the people who consider "consensus" to be synonymous with "proof." They've looked at Alvin Bragg's charging document and are less than impressed with the...
