At 9:31 a.m. EDT yesterday, Katy Perry, in full hair and makeup wearing a designer cobalt blue bodysuit, was ready to make history. As she boarded flight NS-31 to make an 11-minute roundtrip journey to the edge of outer space, she endeavored to “put the ass in astronaut.” Which is so cool and brave to admit, given that she’s probably the first person ever to say those words in that particular order.

"We in these hot a-- Texas streets, honey," Crockett said at a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles on Saturday. "Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, come on now! And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot a-- mess, honey!" "It's another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it," Abbott said in an interview on "Hannity." In an X post Tuesday, the Democrat claimed her words were misunderstood "I...

Queen Elizabeth I was known to be an all-powerful monarch, a warrior who defeated the Spanish Armada, a leader loved by her subjects and a muse for Shakespeare. The late Queen of England and Ireland - who ruled from 1558 until her death in 1603 - was so legendary that her reign was officially crowned the Elizabethan era, its very own epoch of the famed Tudor period. But one rumour has threatened to crack her tenable legacy, leading doubters to ask whether the Virgin Queen was the fiercely independent leader that history claims her to be.

They called her Mr. Smith.When the newly installed USAID chief Gayle Smith was at a conference in Africa recently, the local leaders didn't recognize the gender of her name. So they gave her a "Mr. Smith" tag — which she now has on top of a bookshelf in her corner office at the Ronald Reagan building in Washington, D.C.The nameplate on her desk makes things clear. It says: "GIRL BOSS."Being a boss anointed in the final months of a president's term is not an easy job. Three months ago, Smith took the top spot of the federal agency in charge...

The Department of Justice has been ordered to provide information on communications between former special counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis about the prosecution of Donald Trump. The January 28 ruling is the latest development in a lawsuit against the Department of Justice filed by Judicial Watch in 2023. Why It Matters Willis led an investigation into allegations that Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia after losing the state to Joe Biden. The inquiry resulted in indictments against Trump and 18 alleged coconspirators on charges of racketeering and other crimes. Smith...

Remember last year when an activist Delaware judge invalidated Elon Musk's compensation package at Tesla--twice--despite it having been overwhelmingly approved by stockholders--twice? The compensation package was unconventional--he wouldn't get paid unless he delivered extraordinary results. He multiplied the value of the company by 10x. Which is shareholders approved the package--he made them extremely wealthy, and they rewarded him by making him even wealthier. He put it all on the line, performed, and the judge took it all away and gave a bunch of it to lawyers. The judge was, by the way, closely tied to the Biden crime family. Delaware,...

Delaware is facing a further exodus of tech companies amid reports that Meta and Dropbox are moving out of the state. Newsweek has contacted Meta and Dropbox for comment via email. Why It Matters Delaware has long been considered a business-friendly state due to its corporate tax advantages, and is home to multiple large companies. However, backlash against the First State has intensified after Delaware Judge Kathaleen McCormick ruled that Tesla CEO Elon Musk's record-breaking $56 billion compensation package was excessive. Musk, who has become increasingly influential in both the political and corporate world, urged companies to pull out of...

A Delaware judge has reaffirmed her ruling that Tesla must revoke Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick on Monday denied a request by attorneys for Musk and Tesla’s corporate directors to vacate her ruling earlier this year requiring the company to rescind the unprecedented pay package. McCormick also rejected an equally unprecedented and massive fee request by plaintiff attorneys, who argued that they were entitled to legal fees in the form of Tesla stock valued at more than $5 billion. The judge said the attorneys were entitled to a fee award of $345 million. The rulings...

The leader of the Justice Department’s civil rights division, Kristen Clarke, said in an extraordinary personal statement shared with CNN that she was a victim of years-long domestic abuse and chose not to disclose an expunged arrest record from that period during the Senate confirmation process. Clarke’s now-expunged arrest, which reportedly occurred during a domestic dispute, quickly became a cause célèbre among right-wing media and lawmakers who claim she lied during her 2021 Senate confirmation hearing, with some calling for her resignation. “Nearly 2 decades ago, I was subjected to years-long abuse and domestic violence at the hands of my...

Before becoming one of the Justice Department’s top leaders, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke was allegedly involved in a violent domestic dispute, according to court documents, records, and text messages—an incident that ended in her arrest and was ultimately expunged. During her Senate confirmation, Clarke specifically denied ever having been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime. Clarke was nominated by President-elect Joe Biden on Jan. 7, 2021, and later confirmed by the U.S. Senate on May 25, 2021, to lead the DOJ’s “crown jewel,” as former Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. described the Civil Rights Division....

Looks like there's more trouble for Fulton County DA Fani Willis. We reported earlier about the response from Jocelyn Wade to Willis' attempt to get out of a deposition in Wade's divorce case. Wade wants her to talk about the money that she paid Nathan Wade, Jocelyn's husband and Willis' alleged "paramour' (the term used in Jocelyn Wade's filing), so that could help her figure out the marital estate for purposes of the divorce and the spousal support. Willis ridiculously accused Jocelyn Wade of colluding with the parties in the election interference case and trying to harass her. Then Wade...

Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis (D.), accused of hiring her lover to prosecute former president Donald Trump, is the latest anti-Trump icon to embarrass herself and her boosters in the media. Willis allegedly engaged in an improper relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she hired to lead the racketeering case against Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. A court filing in the case last week accused the pair of having a "clandestine" and "improper" relationship and taking vacations together to "Napa Valley, California, Florida and the Caribbean" with some of the $654,000 in legal fees...

Alongside all the hype and chatter about the January 6 anniversary, there was another worthy news story the first week of 2022. On Monday, January 3, a federal jury in California convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes on three counts of wire fraud and one of conspiracy to defraud investors. Holmes, six years removed from being the richest self-made woman in the world, now faces as many as twenty years in prison, though she will likely receive less. While it’s always good to see criminals receive their just desserts, there is another upbeat aspect to the Holmes saga. The conviction of...
