Above Photo: A Block at Alcatraz Prison, 2008. Nonie / Wikimedia Commons. The head of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons was forced to step down last week as scandals swept through the vast U.S. prison system. Michael Carvajal, director of the Justice Department’s Bureau of Prisons (BOP), resigned in disgrace last week after being overwhelmed by scandals, none of which were necessarily of his doing so much as they were a result of his unwillingness or inability to make changes to the Justice Department’s largest and best-funded bureau. The scandals—and his resignation—reinforce the conventional wisdom that the BOP is broken and must be […]

The final debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden will not include foreign policy as a topic, a decision for which the president’s campaign has slammed the commission, especially after the recent Hunter Biden allegations. “Good morning to everyone except Presidential Debate Commission members who changed focus of final debate away from foreign policy,” the Trump campaign’s senior adviser Jason Miller tweeted on Monday morning. Miller theorized the topics were steered away from foreign policy “so Joe Biden wouldn’t have to answer to being compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, supporting endless wars and sending pallets of cash to Iran.” Good […]

Almost four years to the day after the Access Hollywood scandal first broke, Billy Bush is revisiting the moment that almost derailed his career. (Again.) Speaking with Men’s Health, the Extra host discussed his relationship with Matt Lauer—and why he felt “deeply hurt” by the disgraced Today anchor at the time. In the fall of 2016, audio leaked of Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women on the Access Hollywood bus ahead of a 2005 appearance. Bush punctuated Trump’s monologue with peevish snickers—and when the two dismounted the bus, he urged a woman Trump had just been fantasizing about assaulting to give […]
Jersey’s population is no bigger than that of Dover. And yet companies and people on the Channel Island invest more money into the U.K. than those in China or Germany—£112bn ($145bn) a year. It has £1 trillion ($1.3tn) sitting in its trusts, companies, funds and foundations, according to a report commissioned by Jersey’s finance lobby group, and much of this is pumped into London. With so much money under its domain, Jersey has staked its reputation on being a better-regulated and more transparent tax haven than other offshore jurisdictions.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Spain’s Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the left-wing Unidas Podemos political party Pablo Iglesias said on Saturday that the current corruption scandal involving the royal family represents a “historic moment” for Spain to become a republic. “I think that, as republicans, we need to be able to understand the historic moment of crisis faced by the Spanish monarchy and the model of state that embodies the Spanish monarchy itself.

Muslims across the world, including Iran, Indonesia, Pakistan, Yemen, Nigeria, and France have taken to the streets in recent days to protest French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo’s republication of a series of ‘blasphemous’ cartoon depictions of the Prophet Muhammad, the central figure of the Islamic faith. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has weighed in on Charlie Hebdo’s decision to republish a dozen cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, suggesting that the move shows the hostility of Western governments and their allies toward the Muslim world, and dismissing the ‘freedom of expression’ defence made by some French politicians. “The grave and unforgivable […]

In the podcast Whistleblower, which released its first episode on August 27, journalist Tim Livingston takes on a major sports scandal that has mostly been swept under the rug with a mix of savvy PR and media incentives. In 2007, former NBA referee Tim Donaghy was arrested for betting on hundreds of games, including several that he refereed himself. Donaghy was convicted and sentenced to 16 months in jail, but to this day maintains that he never fixed any games by making bogus calls; rather, he used his knowledge of the NBA as more of a league of entertainment than true […]
On Friday night, after several months of filming in his luxuriant backyard, Bill Maher returned to the Real Time studio—sans guests, of course.

Initially, Falwell Jr. blamed his wife for the affair before Granda elaborated on the alleged tryst. […]

The mainstream media doesn’t care about the truth – they only care about promoting liberal lies and lunacy in order to place and keep liberals in power.

LONDON—Britain’s Conservative government never bothered to find out whether the Brexit referendum was influenced by the Kremlin, according to a scathing report by parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee. The extraordinary finding was at the heart of a bombshell report that Boris Johnson has repeatedly sought to delay—despite it being ready for publication nine months ago. Kevan Jones, a Labour member of the committee, said it was a “scandal” that No. 10 had never ordered Britain’s extensive intelligence agencies to look into the safety of British elections despite seeing evidence of interference in the 2014 Scottish election and the leak of Democratic […]

One of the few remaining areas of broad bipartisan consensus on Capitol Hill has been a tough policy toward Russia— a topic that frequently creates a stark contrast to President Trump, who has maintained personally warm ties to its leader, Vladimir Putin, and has generally followed behind Congress on Russia counter-measures.

The report said that Trump was given […]

In 1935, with his marriage to one of Hollywood’s leading ladies on the rocks, Thorpe decided the best plan of action was to search his home for his wife’s diary. Allegedly acting on a tip from one of the family’s housekeepers, he found the book and […]
