Joe Biden said voters deserve to know where he stands on expanding the Supreme Court – reversing a statement he made last week – but he again declined to give a definitive answer on whether he plans to install more liberal judges. Speaking Thursday night at a town hall hosted by ABC News, the Democrat presidential candidate said his view on so-called court packing will be influenced by handling of the ongoing confirmation process for President Donald’s Trump’s current nominee to the court, Amy Coney Barrett. “It depends on how this turns out – not how he wins, but how it’s […]
The issue of court packing – an idea supported by many in the Democratic party – has been one of those most acute for Democratic candidate Joe Biden and his campaign, as he has consistently been reluctant to outline his position on extending the number of Supreme Court judges. During an interview with Las Vegas KTNV anchor Ross DiMattei, Joe Biden was again pressured to reveal his stance on court packing – but rolled out a sharp answer beyond previous moves to dodge the issue. When asked by the reporter “Don’t the voters deserve to know [your position on packing the Supreme […]
The comments were reportedly part of audiotapes recorded by the US first lady’s former senior adviser and best friend, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, author of the newly published tell-all memoir ‘Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of my Friendship with the First Lady’. Wolkoff worked in the White House between 2016 and 2018. The first lady of the US, Melania Trump, referred to American adult-film actress Stormy Daniels as a “porn hooker”, while praising her husband as “the most popular Republican president ever”, according to excerpts of conversations released by FLOTUS’s ex-best friend and senior aide, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, on Monday.

Last year, English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen revealed that Pamela Anderson’s cameo in his 2006 movie about a Kazakh journalist travelling to the US resulted in the Baywatch bombshell’s marriage with American rap star Kid Rock falling apart shortly after the film’s release. The official title for Borat 2 has been revealed after reports that English comedian and actor Sacha Baron Cohen test-screened a sequel to the 2006 comedy hit “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan”, the news outlet Collider reports.

Anyone who’s kept up with Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills over the past three years knows cast member Teddi Mellencamp’s proclivity for holding others accountable. Not just in the “you didn’t come to my event!” or “are you friends with Brandi Glanville?” way but in regard to her actual occupation as an “accountability coach.” The mysterious title refers to Mellencamp’s accountability coaching program called All In by Teddi, a weight-loss system that’s faced scrutiny over the past week for its alleged harmful messaging, minimal diet, expensive fees, inexperienced staff, and hostile manner of holding clients “accountable” for their commitment to […]
The FBI is investigating blundering conservative operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman for a series of possible crimes, according to a document filed by federal prosecutors. Ironically, the document revealing the investigation was filed just days after Wohl and Burkman staged a fake FBI raid on Burkman’s home in a bid for media attention. The FBI investigation centers on Wohl and Burkman’s February release of confidential juror questionnaires from the trial of Trump associate Roger Stone. The FBI is investigating the pair for potential witness harassment, criminal contempt, and obstruction of justice, according to the filing. The case could mark more […]

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a national lockdown on 24 March “to protect the country, and each of its citizens…” in his “decisive fight against the Corona pandemic”. All activities, except certain essential services, were halted to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Exactly six months after India’s national lockdown started, and despite the gradual elimination of the measures, life has still not returned to what it was during the pre-lockdown period amid many curbs and new precautionary rules which are still in place. The latest guidelines issued by the federal Home Ministry on 29 August mandate that schools and colleges remain closed […]
US President Donald Trump said the FBI targeted him for a “coup” after newly released documents showed that federal agents bought liability insurance over fears their handling of the Trump-Russia probe could lead to legal trouble. The new documents were disclosed in a federal court filing on Thursday by Sidney Powell, defense attorney for former Trump adviser Michael Flynn. Seizing on the new release, the president ran a victory lap at a campaign rally in Florida, telling the crowd the FBI had been “caught” attempting a “coup.” “Today a trove of text messages was released from FBI agents involved in the […]
A new report by an Australian research group has identified and mapped more than 380 suspected detention facilities in China’s western Xinjiang region. The Australian Strategic Policy Institute says in its report that these centers have been built and expanded even as Chinese officials claimed most of the people sent to the facilities had “returned to society.” The researchers say they believe their database and map covers most such facilities that exist. ASPI scoured satellite photos for evidence of such facilities, including nighttime imagery that showed evidence of new construction in places where there hadn’t been illumination in the past. Their […]

Alexei Navalny fell gravely ill during a Moscow-bound flight from Tomsk, Siberia on August 20, with his assistant almost immediately suspecting that he was ‘poisoned’. Doctors treating him carried out analyses of blood and urine samples and found no traces of foul play. The opposition politician was transferred to Germany on August 22. Investigators with the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs’ Siberian Federal District Transport Police have established where Alexei Navalny stayed and what he ate before his August 20 flight, with the information released as part of an ongoing pre-investigation probe. Police were able to establish the complete chronology of […]
In early July, the Walt Disney Company reopened parts of two amusement parks: Disney World near Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland in Anaheim, California. The former reopened to house the tightly controlled 13-week experiment known as the NBA Bubble, in which staff, players, coaches, and personnel adhered to strict social distancing guidelines and isolation requirements, paired with regular on-site testing. The latter welcomed back its workers with less grandeur, opening up a sprawling outdoor shopping district called Downtown Disney, with a select staff of several hundred. Though they reopened within days of each other, the two parks worked with wildly different resources. […]
On the night of June 24, 2009, Michael Jackson finished rehearsing for a set of comeback performances and returned to his rented mansion in Holmby Hills, a posh neighborhood on Los Angeles’ Westside. The King of Pop’s personal doctor, Conrad Murray, arrived at the residence shortly after midnight. Around 14 hours later, Jackson was pronounced dead—with no evidence of foul play. Two months later, the Los Angeles County coroner ruled Jackson’s death a homicide owing to the lethal amount of drugs found in his system—mainly propofol, a powerful anesthetic, and lorazepam (also lidocaine, diazepam, ephedrine, and midazolam). And despite his gaunt […]
Two House Democrats are urging the nation’s top intelligence official to make public what they argue is crucial information about the extent to which foreign actors are exploiting recent racial and social unrest in the U.S. to advance their own agendas. In a September 1 letter obtained by The Daily Beast, Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Val Demings (D-FL), members of the House Intelligence Committee, thank the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, for his response to their inquiry on “how foreign adversaries are heightening and exploiting tensions and social unrest in American communities to further foreign interests.” But the response […]
Drug development is a long, costly process. In non-pandemic periods, a new pharmaceutical product could gobble up a billion dollars and a decade from start to finish. So as thousands of people per week die of COVID-19 in the United States, researchers are scrambling to make headway via their only shot at speeding up the process: finding a drug that already exists. The problem is that even if they limit themselves to testing only those drugs that have already been approved by the FDA, researchers still have 20,000 drug possibilities to sort through. That’s where AI comes in. Welcome to Rabbit […]
After a colossal port explosion rocked the capital city of Beirut, the Lebanese government has decided to put all officials who oversaw storage and security there since 2014 under house arrest, until investigations are complete. The country’s Information Minister Manal Abdelsamad said the military will oversee their confinement, until all those responsible among the suspects are found. The port officials will be put under arrest “as soon as possible,” according to Abdelsamad, and the whole procedure is expected to be finished “within the next five days.” It is unclear as yet how many people are going to be arrested. The investigation […]
While we all already knew that the “prosecutors” who ran the sham trial and political persecution of Roger Stone were corrupt Obama political appointees, new documents reveal internal emails showing their meltdown following Attorney General Bill Barr’s recommendation to lessen the sentence for the longtime Trump advisor and New York Times bestseller. “It Seems to Me You’ve Got One Problem – The Judge Disagreed with You” – Rep.

In a new filing made at the US District Court for the Southern District of New York on Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. argues Trump’s legal team is mistaken in claiming that their investigation into the president’s financial records is limited to […]
A new report has detailed the hefty earnings of the first-team squad at Serie A champions Juventus, revealing that star striker Cristiano Ronaldo’s $31 million salary is more than the next four top earners at the club combined. Even with five Ballon d’Orm awards to his name, the discrepancy between Juve top scorer Ronaldo and his multi-millionaire team-mates, including forward partners Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain, is striking in the figures obtained by Gazetta Dello Sport. Ronaldo earns a net salary of more than $36 million, dwarfing the club’s key signing last summer, Netherlands defender Matthijs de Ligt, by a staggering gap of around […]
This “grain mummy” honors the Egyptian god Osiris. (Rambam Health Care Campus) CT Scans Reveal Miniature Mummies’ Surprising Contents by Alex Fox/Smithsonianmag.com For almost half a century, researchers at the Haifa Museums in Israel thought that a pair of miniature Egyptian mummies housed in their collections contained human hearts. But when museum staff brought the sarcophagi to a local hospital for a computerized tomography (CT) scan last month, they realized the ancient wrappings actually concealed the remains of a bird and a wad of grain and mud, reports Rossella Tercatin for the Jerusalem Post. The mummified bird is probably a falcon. Interestingly, it […]
On Friday new documents were released by the Senate Judiciary Comittee on the Russia Collusion hoax. The second set of documents exposes the outlandish New York Times story that the Trump team had “repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials.” The declassified documents reveal The New York Times reporting was transparently dishonest and an attempt to fuel the Russiagate narrative in its early stages. The New York Times along with the Washington Post later won Pulitzer Prizes for their junk Trump-Russia collusion reporting that now is confirmed to be factually inaccurate and misleading.If these outlets had any integrity they’d return their […]

In mid-August 2019, the LIGO and Virgo detectors jointly spotted a merger of objects of markedly different masses – 23 and 2.6 times that of the Sun respectively. This eye-watering mismatch is a real puzzle, researchers believe. Gravitational wave detectors have confirmed a cosmic collision during which a gigantic black hole swallowed up a mystery object that has been deemed as too heavy to be a neutron star, but way too light for a black hole, a study published in The Astrophysical Journal suggested. Estimated to be 2.6 times the mass of the Sun, the object – codenamed GW190814 – falls into a […]
At various points during the Trump campaign and presidency, Jon Stewart would emerge from beneath his old friend Stephen Colbert’s desk to deliver searing diatribes about the state of the political world. He returned to The Late Show Wednesday night ahead of the premiere of his new political satire movie Irresistible. But in the midst of a global pandemic and just a few months away from another presidential election, the mood was noticeably darker. Stewart, who joked that he was going “full Christopher Lloyd” during quarantine, said that the “politicization of basic hygiene” has been “one of the more surprising aspects” […]

In May, the social media networks were flooded with photos and videos allegedly depicting the harsh landing of an extraterrestrial object in Brazil’s eastern forest. However, many of the clips soon disappeared from the feed, leading to speculations about a conspiracy behind the story.

Court documents from 1996 reveal that Tara Reade told her ex-husband about Joe Biden sexually harassing her when she worked in his senate office in 1993. Reade claims that Biden penetrated her with his fingers and kissed her without her consent in his senate office. According to a report from The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, the declaration by Reade’s then-husband Theodore Dronen does not say Biden committed the harassment nor does it mention her allegations of sexual assault, but it does say Reade told him about “a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe […]
