At first glance, the small group assembled outside Pornhub’s L.A. office might have looked like employees. They surrounded the building in black T-shirts with white script, framed by the adult site’s signature orange box. Instead of the standard logo, however, the tees read “Traffickinghub.” The sparse and socially distant protest, which happens every week, had been organized by the West Coast arm of Knock Out Abuse, the domestic violence nonprofit whose annual gala, once called a “designer bachelorette party” by the Washington Post, attracts a roster of D.C. insiders and corporate executives—including Hillary Clinton, Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, and Wolf Blitzer. The […]

The Kenosha, Wisconsin police officer who shot Jacob Blake seven times feared the man was trying to kidnap a child seated in his SUV, the officer’s lawyer said, also claiming Blake had brandished a knife at police. Officer Rusten Sheskey opened fire on Blake during the August 23 encounter in Kenosha after hearing a distressed woman on the scene shout “He’s got my kid. He’s got my keys,” the attorney, Brendan Matthews, told CNN. He argued that had Sheskey allowed Blake to flee with the child in the vehicle, “the question would have been ‘why didn’t you do something?’” Matthews’ account […]
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called for a harsh crackdown on violent and “disorderly” protests, proposing a bill that would bring steep penalties for rioting. Critics insist the law is a “fascist” ban on free expression. The Republican governor introduced the new law during a Monday press conference – the Combating Violence, Disorder, and Looting and Law Enforcement Protection Act – which, if passed by the state legislature, would make participation in “disorderly assemblies” a third-degree felony, among other measures. Today I announced bold legislation that creates new criminal offenses and increases penalties for those who target law enforcement and participate […]
Trump reportedly asked other world leaders what they thought about Ms. May and told German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron that the prime minister made a mistake when she called for a general election in 2017, which saw the Conservative party lose their majority in the parliament. US President Donald Trump’s tone during negotiations with former British Prime Minister Theresa May was bullying and the US president mansplained his counterpart, the Telegraph reported, citing a cache of leaked notes taken during US-UK meetings and conversations. According to the documents, the phone calls between the two were described as […]
A radical plan currently being debated by the government would see the British Army boost its air and cyber warfare capabilities while mothballing its armored fleet, according to a newspaper report. British defense chiefs have outlined plans to deactivate the Army’s Challenger 2 main battle tanks and Warrior armored fighting vehicles (AFV), as the costs of maintaining them have skyrocketed, the Times newspaper has reported. Costs aside, the armored fleet – which currently consists of 227 Challengers and 388 Warriors – has reportedly been deemed “obsolete.” Some in the military have argued that 21st-century warfare will rely on cyber capabilities, along […]

US actor and martial artist Chuck Norris has made a video address to the incumbent Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko that has been shared on social media. The 80-year-old Walker, Texas Ranger star filmed himself surrounded by the images of weapon-wielding movie characters he portrayed. “You know, when I slice onions, onions cry. So if you don’t stop what you are doing […]
A US House hearing meant by Democrats to excoriate Attorney General William Barr got off to a rocky start Monday as ranking Republican Jim Jordan showed a video montage of violent protests raging across the country. The video began with clips of more than a dozen media outlets and Democrat leaders describing the wave of anti-racism demonstrations as “peaceful protests,” followed by the widow of retired St Louis police captain David Dorn speaking about the murder of her husband by a looter on June 2. Video of rioting, looting and arson then begins to play with the widow’s speech continuing. Immediately […]
A probe into former VP Joe Biden’s dealings in Ukraine is reportedly the ‘foreign interference’ in US elections that prompted Democrats to demand an urgent defensive briefing from the FBI for all members of Congress. “We are gravely concerned, in particular, that Congress appears to be the target of a concerted foreign interference campaign, which seeks to launder and amplify disinformation in order to influence congressional activity, public debate, and the presidential election in November,” says a letter by four Democrats on the congressional ‘Gang of Eight’ that deals with intelligence matters. The letter was dated July 13, but was made […]
There was a triple shooting in Atlanta Sunday that killed one person that took place at the same location as the deadly shooting of an 8-year-old black girl by Black Lives Matter protesters Saturday night. The area of the shootings is near the Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks was shot and killed by police last month as he attacked and fled officers. Since Brooks’ death, protesters torched the Wendy’s and set up armed checkpoints in the area. The 8-year-old girl was killed when the car she was in with her mother came upon a group of armed protesters blocking the road at […]
