Who Is Iowa School Shooting Suspect Dylan Butler?

/2 Comments/in , /by

Gunman Dylan Butler endured years of relentless bullying that had recently engulfed his sister in the leadup to his violent rampage at his rural Iowa high school Thursday, community members said.

The 17-year-old was armed with a pump-action shotgun, a small-caliber handgun and a makeshift explosive device when he opened fire at Perry High School at 7:47 a.m., police said.

Butler killed a sixth-grader and injured five others, including his principal, before turning the gun on himself.

He had plans to kill many more, however — his body was found with the not-yet-detonated improvised explosive device, which cops described as “pretty rudimentary.” . . .

Sisters Yesenia Roeder and Khamya Hall, both 17, alongside their mother, Alita, told the Associated Press that Butler finally snapped after his younger sister started getting picked on, too. (Read more from “Who Is Iowa School Shooting Suspect Dylan Butler?” HERE)

Trump Accuses Special Counsel of Violating Court Order, Seeks Contempt Charges

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump has accused special counsel Jack Smith of violating a court order that paused proceedings in the case. Trump, through his re-election campaign, is seeking to hold Smith in contempt of court for allegedly defying the stay granted by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.

The controversy revolves around the stay of proceedings that Judge Chutkan had imposed after Trump’s legal team appealed her decision to reject their request to dismiss the case. The appeal, centering on claims of presidential immunity and double jeopardy, is currently under consideration by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. However, Trump’s attorneys claim that Smith’s team continued making submissions despite the ongoing appeal, violating the stay order.

According to a 15-page filing by Trump’s legal team, prosecutors breached the stay almost immediately by serving thousands of pages of discovery and a “purported” draft exhibit list. The filing alleges that despite a warning from Trump regarding potential relief if such conduct persisted, prosecutors filed a motion containing “partisan rhetoric, including false claims.”

The filing further states, “In this manner, the prosecutors seek to weaponize the Stay to spread political propaganda, knowing that President Trump would not fully respond because the Court relieved him of the burdens of litigation during the Stay. Worse, the prosecutors have announced their intention to continue this partisan-driven misconduct indefinitely, effectively converting this Court’s docket into an arm of [President Joe Biden’s re-election] Campaign.”

Trump’s legal team is now requesting the federal court in Washington, D.C., to order prosecutors to show cause for why they should not be held in contempt. They also seek the withdrawal of their filings, a prohibition on future productions without express permission from the court, and monetary sanctions for attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in the response.

As of now, Smith’s team has not issued an immediate reply to the filing, and they have declined to comment to the media. In the original stay order, Judge Chutkan emphasized the temporary pause on proceedings but clarified that deadlines and protective measures, such as the gag order against Trump, have not been permanently vacated.

In response to the recent developments, a spokesperson for Trump, Steven Cheung, stated, “Rather than respect the rule of law, Jack Smith unilaterally decided to disobey the stay order and continue with his harassing litigation, all done to keep parroting the pathetic Biden Campaign’s corrupt talking points in the name of election interference. As a result, President Trump is seeking to hold Deranged Jack in contempt of Court. No prosecutor is above the law.”

/3 Comments/in , /by

North Korea fired more than 200 artillery rounds into the sea on Friday near a tensely defended maritime border with South Korea, a military official said, while residents of two South Korean islands were ordered to evacuate due to an unknown “situation.”

The defense ministry would not confirm if the order was prompted by the North’s artillery firing or South Korean drills in response.

However, a text message sent to residents and confirmed by an island official cited “naval fire” to be conducted by South Korean troops from 3 p.m.(0600 GMT) Friday.

An official on Yeonpyeong island, which sits just south of the disputed Northern Limit Line (NLL) sea border, said the evacuation was ordered at the request of the South Korean military.

The firing by North Korea caused no civilian or military damage in the South, South Korea’s military said in a news briefing. (Read more from “South Korea Evacuates Islands After North Korea Fires More Than 200 Artillery Rounds Nearby” HERE)

/3 Comments/in , /by

“Harry Potter” book profits continued to soar in 2023 despite numerous attempts to cancel the famed author of the book series J.K. Rowling for her support of biological women over trans-indentifying males.

In 2023, Pottermore publishing — a global digital audiobook and eBook publisher of “Harry Potter” books and affiliated Wizarding World titles — experienced a surge in sales, going from approximately $7 million U.S. dollars to more than $11.9 million over the last fiscal year, GB News reported.

Pottermore’s Managing Director released a statement about the increase in revenue and said, “We continue to look for ways to grow partnerships, build our language catalog and reach new audiences with creative and promotional initiatives such as the annual Starting Harry Potter campaign for new readers.”

Rowling — who has faced numerous attacks from leftist activists for her support of biological women — is very outspoken on social media and doesn’t back down when threatened by trans activists.

Lululemon Founder Criticizes the Company’s Push to Feature Overweight, ‘Unhealthy,’ and ‘Sickly’ Models

/1 Comment/in , /by

The founder of Lululemon is blasting the athleisure apparel company’s push to include diversity, equity, and inclusion in its marketing— specifically by featuring overweight, plus-size women to model their clothes.

Billionaire Chip Wilson is taking swings against Lululemon’s DEI programs, saying they are destroying the company he created that once featured fit, healthy women in its ads.

“I think the definition of a brand is that you’re not everything to everybody. You’ve got to be clear that you don’t want certain customers coming in,” Wilson said, adding that the brand is trying to “become like the Gap, everything to everybody.”

Wilson said that the models being used in the ads, who are clearly obese, look “unhealthy,” “sickly,” and “not inspirational.”

Wilson stepped down as CEO in 2013 and left the board two years later after saying that “some women’s bodies just don’t actually work” in Lululemon’s popular yoga pants. The woke media claimed Wilson was “fat-shaming” despite clearly being the size of Lizzo.

Unsealed Docs Seem to Include Claim That Clinton ‘Threatened’ Magazine Not to Write Epstein Sex-Trafficking Articles

/2 Comments/in , /by

After some Jeffrey Epstein-related documents were unsealed on Wednesday, a new batch of documents was unsealed on Thursday, including an email — which appears to be from Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre — that seems to claim former President Bill Clinton “threatened” Vanity Fair not to do sex-trafficking pieces regarding Epstein.

“When i was doing some research into VF yesterday, it does concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B.Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficing articles about his good friend J.E.,” the email reads. While the email’s “From” line indicates that it is from “Virginia Giuffre,” the note appears to be signed “xoxoxoxo Jenna.”

Former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter told the Telegraph, “This categorically did not happen.”

The unsealed documents stem from a 2015 lawsuit lodged by Giuffre, which Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell settled in 2017, according to CNN. The outlet noted that Maxwell was found guilty of sex trafficking in 2021 but that her attorneys had said in a statement, “She has consistently and vehemently maintained her innocence.” (Read more from “Unsealed Docs Seem to Include Claim That Clinton ‘Threatened’ Magazine Not to Write Epstein Sex-Trafficking Articles” HERE)

Epstein’s Brother Breaks Down Billionaire’s Autopsy Report, Tells Tucker ’Nobody Seems To Know’ Where Key Evidence Is (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The brother of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein broke down details of the autopsy report with Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson on The Tucker Carlson Interview, claiming “nobody seems to know” where a piece of key evidence is.

Epstein’s brother, Mark, appeared on Carlson’s Twitter show to discuss the alleged suicide of his brother, breaking down key information he has found over the years. Carlson brought up the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into Epstein’s death, questioning Mark on the information from the case.

Mark said while the case recently came out, they had previously been attempting to find out “what position” Epstein’s body was in during his time of death for the last four years, noting the report allegedly stated he was in a “seated position” with all of body weight on his neck.

“Well, they came out with the report, you know, a few months ago and, uh, for four years we’ve been trying to find out what position his body was in when it was found — and we couldn’t get an answer to that either,” Mark stated.

“But in the report, it described how he was found. It said that he was in a seated position with his legs extended in front of him and he was hanging from the top bunk. So if you picture that, you know, uh, basically all of his body weight, or most of his body weight was hanging by this noose around his neck or the ligature around his neck … And they said when they cut them down or tore him down his buttocks was an inch — an inch and a half — above the ground. Again, which means his body weight was on his neck.”

The 52-year-old pulled no punches in the interview, labeling a number of celebrities as frauds.

“They cancelled me for these things because why would you talk about another black dude? Race is not where the line is drawn, it’s God’s side and the other side,” Williams told Sharpe.

DeSantis: Trump Is Not Pro-Life — He Flip-Flopped on the Sanctity of Life

/2 Comments/in , /by

Republican 2024 presidential hopeful Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said Thursday on a CNN Town Hall that his rival for the nomination, former President Donald Trump, was not pro-life. . .

Host Kaitlan Collins said, “Do you think Donald Trump is not pro-life?”

DeSantis said, “Of course not. I mean, when you’re saying that pro-life protections are a terrible thing, by definition you are not pro-life. When you say that you want to have a federal law at 18 weeks or 20 weeks that would override a state like Iowa that has enacted pro-life protections, that would mean more abortions, not less abortions. Because very few abortions are happening that late anyway. So, he has flip-flopped on this issue. I don’t know if it’s because of political convenience or this is where he always believed in. But here’s the thing, some issues are pretty fundamental. How do you flip-flop on something like the sanctity of life?” (Read more from “DeSantis: Trump Is Not Pro-Life — He Flip-Flopped on the Sanctity of Life” HERE)

New Documents Expose Jeffrey Epstein’s Sick Exploitation Network

/1 Comment/in , /by

A new batch of unsealed documents has shed further light on the disturbing extent of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of teenage girls and the intricate web of connections he used to exploit his victims. The release, which adds several hundred pages to the existing trove of information, details how the financier leveraged his associations with the rich, powerful, and famous to recruit vulnerable girls and conceal his heinous crimes.

The 19 documents, part of a lawsuit filed by one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre, against Ghislaine Maxwell, reveal a sordid pyramid of abuse that spanned three decades, ensnaring dozens of young girls and women. The records implicate Maxwell as Epstein’s former girlfriend, household manager, and chief recruiter, who played a crucial role in facilitating the exploitation.

Many of the documents recount the accounts of Epstein’s victims, high school students enticed with payments of $200 for illicit massages. The victims, some of whom aspired to be models or artists, described how Epstein dropped the names of his famous and influential friends, suggesting that associating with him was their ticket to achieving their dreams.

Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sex-trafficking charges in 2022, was a central figure in Epstein’s criminal network. The documents, released years after the settlement of Giuffre’s lawsuit, expose fresh details about the intricate mechanisms employed by Epstein and Maxwell to perpetrate their crimes.

One victim, whose identity remains sealed, recounted her traumatic experience of being propositioned to Epstein’s house, where she was subjected to non-consensual acts. The documents also revealed a disturbing practice of paying kickbacks to girls who referred others to Epstein, creating a network of exploitation.

The release further implicated well-known figures who had socialized with Epstein, including Bill Clinton, singer Michael Jackson, and magician David Copperfield. Despite their associations, none of these men were accused of wrongdoing. However, the documents reiterated known stories about Britain’s Prince Andrew, who settled a lawsuit filed by Giuffre in 2022, denying the allegations against him.

The records also referenced Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent close to Epstein, who killed himself in a Paris jail in 2022 while awaiting trial on charges of raping underage girls.
