A second witness came forward with claims that Nathan Wade’s former law partner Terrence Bradley made statements in private conversations that contradicted his testimony under oath, according to a Tuesday court filing. Bradley allegedly divulged details about Wade’s relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to former adjunct professor at Georgia State School of Law Manny Arora in several conversations between September and October 2023, according to a court filing by Trump co-defendant Cathy Latham’s attorneys. On the witness stand, Bradley insisted that he could “not recall” various details about their relationship, such as when it began — a...

A co-defendant in the 2020 Georgia election interference case has filed a notice of proposed testimony following Terrence Bradley's testimony in the disqualification hearing for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office.

The misconduct hearings on efforts to oust Fulton County DA Fani Willis from the Trump RICO case have come to a close. Both sides delivered final arguments Friday, each arguing where the bar should be set for the judge's looming disqualification decision. ... Trump defense attorney Steve Sadow said an "appearance of impropriety" is "enough" to disqualify her under Georgia law. ... Sadow raised rhetorical questions about who has the strongest motive to lie: "Who has the best motive of anyone to lie? They do. Who has the most at stake to lie? They do. Who wants to stay on...

The latest hot spots in commercial real estate aren’t in Manhattan or Miami. Instead of snazzy hotels or glistening office towers, the new property darlings are power-hungry data centers, often in places like Northern Virginia; Columbus, Ohio; and Salt Lake City. Traditionally box style, these buildings are all about function: A place for racks and racks of computers to be stacked up high, kept cool, and girded for the boundless stream of images, videos, chats, text, internet searches and the digital detritus of our lives. Their goal isn’t merely to contain, host and sort data billowing from computers and smart...

Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis and her former lover Nathan Wade are facing two ethics complaints from a conservative government watchdog group based on their court testimony on allegations they had an 'improper' affair. The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) is requesting that the Georgia state bar open disciplinary proceedings against the Fulton County DA and Wade for violations of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct. AAF is alleging Wade lied under oath about his relationship with Willis, and alleging that Willis admitted to keeping campaign money for personal use on the witness stand. "To ensure that the citizens of Fulton County...

In the latest development in Willis' hearing, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee's chambers notified attorneys in the case by email on Monday that certain communications Bradley had with Wade are not protected by attorney-client privilege, as he had previously argued, and called on him to testify again, according to sources speaking to ABC News. If Bradley gives evidence claiming that Wade and Willis' relationship began earlier than they said it did, and it is found they lied under oath, it could significantly impact the case. Law professor Anthony Michael Kreis wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "Terrance Bradley has information from...

BREAKING: Robert Kennedy Jr. has been granted a massive victory in his lawsuit against the Biden administration for colluding with social media companies to censor him and others. RFK Jr. was able to win a preliminary injunction against the White House and several federal agencies as a federal judge ruled that the government was "insinuating themselves into the social-media companies’ private affairs and blurring the line between public and private action." Judge Doughty said Kennedy provided substantial evidence that the Biden administration had coerced the companies into suppressing free speech related to Covid, elections, gas prices, climate change, gender, and...

The second and final day of a court hearing of evidence in allegations that Georgia prosecutor Fani Wills had an "improper" affair with her colleague has concluded, but the judge will still review testimony in a closed-door meeting. After a bombshell admission by the defense's key witness, Terrence Bradley, who avoided answering certain questions citing attorney client privilege, Judge Scott McAfee said he would hold an "in-camera" meeting with Bradley to determine if his privilege assertions are accurate. [...] Bradley had refused to answer some of the questions asked by defense counsel about what he knew about Wade and Wills’...

This needs no description and I don't think any description would do it justice.

UFOs — once a taboo subject that destroyed careers, like Bob Lazar's after he was essentially forced to hide in exile – will have a commercial during the Super Bowl, the grandest of advertising stages, which cost about $7 million per 30-second spot. The commercial includes scenes of oblivious humans with their heads buried in their phones while UFOs make an over-the-top racket and beg for attention with physics-defying maneuvers while real soundbites of congressional hearings and news segments play in the background. In one scene, a woman scrolling through social media flips past a legitimized UFO video with the...

The Babylon Bee is here to help increase your admittedly slim chance of survival by providing you with the following list of red flags to watch for: She listens to podcasts about wives murdering their husbands: Sure, many wives do this, but your wife takes notes.

A new scandal erupted just days before the Iowa Caucus as former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was forced to address fresh revelations that his name had appeared over 50 times in newly unsealed Sizzler documents. In the records provided by the buffet-style steak, seafood, and salad bar restaurant, Christie's now-unredacted name appears dozens of times for violating a variety of buffet line rules. "Scandal is the politest word one can use to describe the Sizzler documents," said political expert Dr. Blake Rumsey. "They say he used to fill drink cups with blue cheese salad dressing and slurp it down...

The Right is reorganizing. Most intelligent conservatives, especially younger conservatives, who joined the political fray at a moment of sweeping ideological change, already recognize that familiar orthodoxies are no longer viable, and that ideas without power are useless. The Right doesn’t need a white paper. What it needs is a spirited new activism with the courage and resolve to win back the language, recapture institutions, and reorient the state toward rightful ends. This essay will introduce the basic principles of this activism: where it begins, how it might work, and what it must do in order to win. It is...

The action on Capitol Hill involving UFOs (or UAP) doesn’t appear to be slowing down, even after a few House Republicans succeeded in blocking important portions of UAP transparency language in the recently signed NDAA for 2024. Following a couple of eye-popping public hearings last fall, members of the House Oversight Committee will soon receive a private, classified hearing regarding precisely what the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies know about “nonhuman intelligence,” recovered craft and biological evidence that is reportedly being kept from the eyes of government oversight and the public....It’s worth noting that the briefing will be provided by...

Predictably, in her resignation statement, she played the victim, offered no apologies and blamed her downfall on those who exposed her misconduct. In a key passage showing that her sense of entitlement remains intact, she wrote that “it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor — two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am — and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.” In another passage, she ignored the elephant in the room by insisting that her appointment let people from...

The Effective Accelerationism movement — a staunchly pro-AI ideology that has Silicon Valley split over how artificial intelligence should be regulated — appears to be walking a razor's edge between being a techno-libertarian philosophy and a nihilistic, even reckless, approach to advancing one of the world's most significant technological developments. ... For e/accs [Effective Accelerationists], the world is simple: AI will solve our problems because we want it to, and we're the ones programming it. Opportunity is endless, and at the end of the AI rainbow is a singularity worth more than gold. A public proponent of Effective Accelerationism who...
