A Netflix reality star has avoided jail after she was caught trying to smuggle £150,000 worth of drugs into the UK on a flight back from Thailand. Olga Bednarska, 27, was arrested in October after being stopped by customs officers at Manchester Airport with two large suitcases containing 40kg of cannabis. According to The Manchester Evening News, the Too Hot to Handle star claimed she was given the bags by a friend called 'Tex'. The influencer, who appeared in series three of the hit Netflix show, claimed this person paid for her flights and wanted her to bring back designer...

The actress Sharon Stone (who, in my opinion, Looks Like Death Warmed Over) has blamed Donald Trump’s stunning election victory on “uneducated” Americans who cannot afford to travel abroad. Speaking at a press conference at the Torino Film Festival in Italy, Stone went on a rant about how America would soon become like Italy under fascism because of “uneducated” people who voted for Trump.

As is well-known, politics is the art of influencing behavior. As is also well-known, America’s institutions of higher education uniformly behave with a political orientation that renders them exponents of leftism, socialism, communism, and antisemitism. President-Elect Donald Trump is determined to extinguish that behavior. He’s identified a vehicle for doing so, too: The role played by educational accreditation agencies for colleges and universities under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Public Law 89-329). Under the HEA, the Department of Education approves accrediting agencies that the Secretary of Education determines to be reliable authorities regarding the quality of education or training...

DOGE cannot come soon enough! RFK Jr cannot come soon enough! Health and Human Services, which has been led by Xavier Becerra under the Biden Administration, has reportedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in university grants to interview trans Indians.

Jeffrey Epstein Island visitors tracked directly to their homes WIRED “Investigation that uncovered the data of almost 200 mobile phones belonging to visitors to his infamous pedophile island. The data was so precise, we were able to map the paths of these visitors to within centimeters, including their neighborhoods, buildings of origin, and the paths they took to get to the island. These digital trails document the numerous trips of wealthy and influential individuals seemingly undeterred by Epstein's status as a convicted sex offender.” (SEE VIDEO) “This is Little St. James, AKA Epstein Island. These red dots on the map...

The 2020 Presidential election shared a problem with the 1998 MLB home run race: the winning candidate did too well. In 1998, steroid juicer Mark McGwire broke Roger Maris’s home run record by nine home runs or roughly 15 percent. In 2020, Joe Biden’s 81 million votes broke Barack Obama’s 2008 record 69 million votes by 12 million votes or roughly 17 percent. Obama’s 2008 numbers were anomalous. Hillary Clinton’s 2016 numbers were closer to the norm, and Biden got nearly 25 percent more votes than she did, a cool 16 million additional votes when finally counted. Campaigning from his...

Audit results reveal that the City of Denver, Colorado, lost track of nearly $150 MILLION they spent between January 2022 and March 2024 on homeless shelters And they wonder why we voted for @DOGE ? By the way, it's now clear & obvious that Democrats use homelessness to launder money back to themselves. This is why the crisis will never be cured. You don't write checks totaling $150 million without knowing exactly where it'll end up. Not only should Mayor Mike Johnston get arrested for planning to harbor illegals, but he should now get arrested for laundering money. ... They...

President-elect Donald Trump won Miami-Dade County in a landslide, but will that be enough to get a street named after him? Hialeah wants Miami-Dade to recognize the city’s creation of President Donald J. Trump Avenue, a request that’s on the County Commission’s Dec. 3 agenda. The item would force Democrats on the County Commission, which is officially nonpartisan, to decide whether to support honoring the incoming Republican president. Democrats hold seven of the 13 commission seats, but Trump won 10 of the commission districts in November on his way to an overall victory in Miami-Dade. After losing Miami-Dade in 2016...

Just some of the reasons to think the feds were trying to cap Trump: — As below, Thomas Crooks was in regular contact with someone who was also spending time around the FBI — Crooks practiced shooting at a range popular with feds — Crooks was using a sophisticated messaging system associated with intelligence — Crooks had built a pipe bomb, which at this point, as @MikeBenzCyber notes, is basically a feds-only contraption — Researcher @I_Am_JohnCullen has provided very compelling ballistics evidence indicating there were at least two assassins in Butler — The Secret Service refused to clear Crooks before...

Russia has seen a huge spike in butter theft as inflation and Western sanctions send Moscow's economy into crisis. The BBC's Russia Editor, Steve Rosenberg, highlighted reports in Russian media outlining how "people are stealing butter because of high prices."

The paper warns they could rise to 23% in December.

Has the archbishop ever heard of Islamic jihad? ...His people live among Muslims, and he knows they’ll be attacked if he says anything about jihad. He also knows that he can criticize Zionism all day long and he will not be in any danger for doing so. And so he lambastes Israel freely while never uttering a critical word against the most successful and far-reaching colonialist project in history, the jihad that conquered, Islamized, and Arabized the entire Middle East, North Africa, and more. And as for the good archbishop’s charge of “genocide,” why is he accepting Hamas’ casualty figures?...

Since my strong warning yesterday of the stupidity and insanity of Western leaders who are without any doubt driving the world to nuclear Armageddon, the hyper dangerous situation has further deteriorated. While we all look forward to Thanksgiving holiday, the leadership of the Western world is setting us up for death. The insanity of the West is so extreme as to be incomprehensible. Not satisfied by taking the US and Europe to war with Russia by firing missiles into Russia, the NATO military committee is openly discussing preemptive missile strikes on Russia. This is extraordinary. At the present moment it...

North Carolina residents, including families with small children, are sleeping in snow-surrounded tents as post-hurricane recovery remains slow and federal aid even slower. This week, up to six inches of snow were predicted for western North Carolina. For hurricane victims still living in tents, that’s yet another natural disaster. A Fox News reporter recently went down to the area affected by snowstorms in North Carolina to talk to some of the Americans living in tents. Meanwhile, the U.S. taxpayer funds hotel rooms, flights, and other freebies for illegal immigrants across the country, to the tune of millions of dollars. ......

Reporters attending the Mountain West Conference volleyball tournament in Las Vegas will not be permitted to speak with Blaire Fleming, the reportedly transgender San Jose State star at the center of an ongoing gender controversy within the sport.

@tunguz It was far from obvious at the time, but this was one of the major inflection points of human history.

Kamala Harris’ failure to win the presidential election despite a war chest of $1.5 billion “disqualifies” her from ever running for office again, one Democratic megadonor claimed in a new interview. The 60-year-old vice president’s failed campaign burned through the reported massive amount in just over 100 days, including millions spent on advertisements and events attended by celebrities. “I think this disqualifies her forever,” megadonor John Morgan told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Monday. “If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run America.” “The same thing is going to follow Harris for the rest of her career. She cannot be...
