If you haven’t been following the subject closely in recent months, you may not realize how pervasive the use of this tactic has become. Sure, imprisoning the opposition leaders has long been part of the playbook of the worst thugocracies. It’s what you...

Music executive Suge Knight has warned his long-time hip-hop rival P Diddy that his “life’s in danger” after federal agents raided the singer’s Florida and California homes. The clip, obtained by TMZ, was allegedly an outtake from the Death Row Records founder’s podcast “Collect Call,” which he hosts from a California state prison where he’s currently serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter. Knight kicked off the clip praying for Diddy’s “kids” before he blasted the singer, 54, for giving the “culture” of hip-hop a bad image. “I’ll tell you what, Puffy: your life is in danger cause you know...

In the movie The Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne (the Batman) confides to his butler Alfred that he’s having trouble anticipating the psychotic Joker’s next move and figuring out his motives. Alfred blinks his owlish, bespectacled eyes, and then, in his British accent, says, “Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.” So true. And with that excellent answer, Alfred the butler has just educated the rather naïve Master Wayne on the presence of pure evil in our world. Doing bad just...

ormer president Donald Trump is facing a handful of massive trials, including some that are being prosecuted by extremely partisan attorneys. Glenn Beck and Megyn Kelly can’t help but notice that the attack on him is not only unprecedented but completely unfair. While in one case, Trump’s bond was lowered from $464 million to $170 million and his fans across America rejoiced — it still doesn’t make it a win. “It’s still $170 million, which in a victimless crime, I don’t understand,” Glenn says, astonished.

A State Department official resigned Wednesday and has since gone on a media tour blasting President Biden’s “horrific policy” toward Israel, accusing the administration of enabling “a genocide in Gaza.” Annelle Sheline’s resignation from the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor is the most significant public departure from the department since last October, when Josh Paul, a senior official in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, announced he was calling it quits. “For the past year, I worked for the office devoted to promoting human rights in the Middle East. I believe strongly in the mission and in...

The UN's top court has ordered Israel to enable the unhindered flow of aid into Gaza in order to avert a famine. In a unanimous decision, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) said Israel had to act "without delay" to allow the "provision... of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance". This follows warnings that famine could hit Gaza within weeks. Israel has called allegations it is blocking aid "wholly unfounded". Giving its response to the court order, the Israeli foreign ministry said it was continuing "to promote new initiatives, and to expand existing ones" to allow a continuous flow...

Several waves of protesters disrupted President Biden’s grandiose fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall Thursday, where he kicked it with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to raise cash and enthusiasm for his 2024 re-election bid. One demonstrator, a woman blowing a whistle, holding a “war pig” sign and warning of “nuclear war with Russia,” was removed from the lavish New York City event, dubbed by the 81-year-old president as a “grassroots fundraiser.” The first interruption was quickly followed by booing and whistling and two other waves of protests related to Biden’s support for Israel’s war against Hamas. “Shame...

Republicans eked out a narrow win in the 2024 redistricting wars, gaining a single seat before the general election.

Atop Republican donor who previously backed Donald Trump's rivals Tim Scott and Nikki Haley in the GOP primary has now confirmed he will be voting for the former president in the 2024 election. Eric Levine, who has frequently said he wouldn't vote for Trump in the wake of the January 6 attack on the Capitol in 2021, has written a memo which has been shared on social media confirming he is switching allegiances, while stating that "the adage of 'never say never' is a wise one."

Wyoming is a supermajority state, with Republicans making up 86 of the state’s 93 legislators. But uniformity doesn’t mean unity, as the widening chasm between the state’s further-right Freedom Caucus and more moderate establishment Republicans has grown in recent years and begun to mirror GOP infighting nationwide. For much of the Cowboy State, political representation will be decided during the Republican primary on August 20. This year, all of the State’s House and 15 of the State’s Senate seats are up for grabs. And while the candidate filing period does not open until May 16, Wyoming has seen an early...

ABC 7 Eyewitness News investigative reporters Dan Krauth and Nina Pineda detailed the threat that squatters can pose under New York law, where a person can claim squatters' rights if they have lived in a home for more than 30 days.

Participants in the promotion - which has gone viral on social media - receive up to £50, but have to agree to permanently hand over considerable amounts of personal data.
