One Crucial Mistake Brought Down Diddy’s ‘Freak Off’ Empire

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs hid in plain sight for years until one critical move seemingly opened Pandora’s Box.

Diddy’s longtime girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, accused Diddy of assault and sexual abuse, and offered Diddy a deal to keep the information away from the press. Diddy pushed back on the offer, according to Variety, which prompted Ventura to file a lawsuit against him.

The rapper’s refusal to comply effectively triggered Ventura to expose a side of the star that the world had never seen before. Within 24 hours of the legal filing, the disgraced rapper settled with Ventura. That singular move set off a tidal wave of legal drama. It ultimately exposed details of his alleged “freak off” parties, inspired over 120 victims to come forward with criminal and civil suits against him, and landed him behind bars, where he currently remains awaiting trial.

Diddy’s own response to the Ventura case could prove to be his undoing.

Lawyer Marc Agnifilo said Ventura offered Diddy $30 million for rights to a tell-all book that would expose her claims against him, but Diddy refused to comply, according to Variety. Ventura doesn’t seem to have been the first person to come forward, and numerous professionals interviewed by the Daily Caller agreed that in all likelihood, other complaints were filed against the star over the course of the past several years.

Kamala Harris Way in Front of 2028 Democrat Presidential Contenders

Kamala Harris leads her closest potential 2028 Democrat presidential contender by 33 points, according to polling from Echelon Insights. . .

On one side of the scenario, you can see why Democrat voters still support her, even after her decisive loss to President-elect Donald Trump two weeks ago. She still has the best name recognition. She’s been vice president for four years. She never worked at McDonald’s. She received 74 million votes. You can also argue that with only a little over 100 days to pull a campaign together, she did pretty well.

On the other side of the argument is the fact that Democrats have a pretty weak field. Newsom has done a terrible job governing California. Buttigieg is a weirdo who failed as transportation secretary. Walz is even weirder. Shapiro is Jewish, and that’s a problem for the pro-Hamas wing of the party.

Above all, who gazes upon Kamala Harris and sees her as ready for another run at a presidential campaign? Her first attempt to become president in 2020 was such a disaster she ended up dropping out before a single vote was cast. And while you can sympathize with Kamala being thrust into the middle of the 2024 campaign without much notice, one fact remains: she never improved as a candidate.

Poll: Majority of Americans Think Sex Change Surgeries for Minors Should Be Illegal

A majority of Americans expressed that sex change surgeries and drugs for minors should be illegal, according to a poll.

In a Napolitan News Service poll conducted on November 13, 2024, that surveyed 1,000 registered voters, 72 percent of respondents expressed that it should be illegal to “provide children” under the age of 18 years old with “puberty blockers, drugs, and/or surgery” so that they can “switch” genders.

Eighteen percent of respondents expressed that it should be legal, while ten percent said they were not sure.

When asked if “biological males who identify as women” should be allowed to compete in women’s sports, 75 percent of respondents said no, 13 percent expressed support for biological men playing in women’s sports, and 11 percent of respondents said they were unsure.

WOKE SPORTS: NBA Star Fined $100,000 for “Derogatory” Homosexual Comment During Interview

The NBA fined Hornets star LaMelo Ball $100,000 after he made an anti-gay comment during an interview following Charlotte’s 115-114 upset win over the struggling Bucks at home Saturday.

Ball had been talking about the last play of the game, where Grant Williams successfully defended Giannis Antetokounmpo at the top of the key and forced a contested jumper for the win — which missed off the front of the rim.

“We loaded up,” Ball said, before adding “no homo” while lowering his voice.

The NBA released a statement with their fine Sunday, saying Ball made “an offensive and derogatory comment” postgame.

Ball, who has dealt with injuries throughout his career after taking the Rookie of the Year award, is in the early stages of a career year, averaging 29.6 points, 6.3 assists and 5.3 rebounds through the first 12 games while helping Charlotte collect a 5-7 record.

MSNBC Guest Who Went After Pete Hegseth Facing Backlash From All Sides

Earlier this week, President-elect Donald Trump selected Pete Hegseth to serve as his Secretary of Defense. The reaction was swift, with the criticism in many cases downright nasty and ugly. MSNBC, which has been taking Trump’s win pretty hard and has suffered from plummeting post-election ratings, had on multiple guests who threw Hegseth under the bus by accusing him of being a “white supremacist.”

During “All In with Chris Hayes,” Sherrilyn Ifill, a lawyer and professor at Howard University, who also served as the former president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, made such a claim.

Ifill also focused on Hegseth’s role as a Fox News host, with Hayes jumping in to clarify that he was a “Fox & Friends Weekend” host, which Ifill called “an important distinction,” rather than mention how Hegseth is also a decorated veteran. “This is someone who, you know, is known to be a white supremacist, known to be an extremist, whose platform, whose book is basically about his opposition to the advancement of black officers to the top brass,” she claimed in a clip that has been circulating. She would later go on to acknowledge that Hegseth is a veteran, but claimed that that “is simply inefficient.”

That book, “War on Warriors,” which came out earlier this year and which we had a chance to review after interviewing Hegseth, specifically addresses the dangers and concerns of a woke military. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) have raised such concerns. The lawmakers’ report also noted that the military is less extreme than the population.

There is also one particularly memorable chapter of Hegseth’s book that focuses on the care and concern he had for his fellow National Guardsmen who were black and were targeted by violent mobs shouting racial slurs while they were defending Washington, DC during the 2020 riots.

Trump Transition Team Compiling List of Current and Former U.S. Military Officers for Possible Courts-Martial

By MSN News. The Trump transition team is compiling a list of senior current and former U.S. military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and exploring whether they could be court-martialed for their involvement, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the plan.

Officials working on the transition are considering creating a commission to investigate the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, including gathering information about who was directly involved in the decision-making for the military, how it was carried out, and whether the military leaders could be eligible for charges as serious as treason, the U.S. official and person with knowledge of the plan said.

“They’re taking it very seriously,” the person with knowledge of the plan said. . .

Matt Flynn, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for counternarcotics and global threats, is helping lead the effort, the sources said. It is being framed as a review of how the U.S. first got into the war in Afghanistan and how the U.S. ultimately withdrew.

“Matt Flynn has nothing to do with the Trump transition team, much less leading any review concerning military justice matters,” said Mark S. Zaid, Flynn’s attorney. In a statement Zaid said that “no one has sought out Mr. Flynn’s views on this hypothetical legal scenario.” (Read more from “Trump Transition Team Compiling List of Current and Former U.S. Military Officers for Possible Courts-Martial” HERE)

Bureaucrats Say Trump’s Plan to Destroy Administrative State Might Trigger Mass Exodus

By Breitbart. Federal bureaucrats might leave their jobs early out of fear that President-elect Donald Trump will follow through on his promise to purge the government of rogue and corrupt actors within the administrative state.

The potential abandonment would greatly help Trump’s incoming cabinet secretaries clean up Washington. Trump transition adviser Mark Paoletta asked members of the administrative state on Wednesday to “leave” the bureaucracy or “be fired.”

The term “administrative state” specifically describes the phenomenon of unaccountable and unelected administrative agencies, including the national security apparatus, exercising power to create and enforce their own rules. The administrative state uses its rule-making ability to essentially usurp the separation of powers between the three branches of government by creating a so-called fourth branch of government not formed by the Constitution.

Many unelected bureaucrats within the administrative state also use their position to inflict their own agenda on citizens. For instance, before the “laptop from hell” story broke in 2020, 51 intel officials signed a letter that insinuated Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation. The letter was peddled by Politico under the title “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.” The 51 signatories, however, seemingly knew the Politico story was false at the time because the FBI had the laptop that Hunter abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop. President Joe Biden cited the story during a 2020 presidential debate with Trump to discredit the laptop’s contents. The story was reportedly planted by Secretary of State Antony Blinken for Biden to use during the event.

DNC Attacks Far-Left Democrats for Election Losses, Does Not Want to Be ‘Freak Show’ Party

The establishment wing of the Democrat party is trying to prevent the radical left from controlling the Democratic National Committee (DNC) after Republicans reclaimed the Senate, White House, and maintained control of the House.

The infighting underscores the lack of leadership among Democrat ranks. The bruising turmoil has reached such a pitch that Democrats have begun to summon enough courage to leak negative comments about Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the once-championed leader of the party.

Democrats will have to elect a new DNC chair in the coming weeks, but that process would appear to demand a consensus on why Trump won in a landslide. A unified consensus does not appear in sight.

Establishment Democrats want their radical left allies to stop pushing the intersectional politics of wokeism, but many on the far left doubled down. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), for example, believes Democrats lost big because Hispanic and black voters are misogynists.

“The progressive wing of the party has to recognize — we all have to recognize — the country’s not progressive, and not to the far left or the far right. They’re in the middle,” Joseph Paolino Jr., DNC committeeman for Rhode Island, told Politico. “I’m going to look for a chair who’s going to be talking to the center and who’s going to be for the guy who drives a truck back home at the end of the day.” (Read more from “DNC Attacks Far-Left Democrats for Election Losses, Does Not Want to Be ‘Freak Show’ Party” HERE)

Gunfire Hits Commercial Airliner Near Cockpit as Plane Taxis Before Takeoff — And Shocked Passengers Speak Out

A bullet hit a Southwest Airlines plane near the cockpit as the flight was taxiing for takeoff at Dallas Love Field on Friday night, KXAS-TV reported.

An airport spokesperson told the station the gunfire forced an evacuation of the flight, and KXAS added that Dallas Police are looking for whoever pulled the trigger.

Flight 2494 was struck around 8:30 p.m., KXAS said, citing the Federal Aviation Administration, which added that the plane — which was taxiing for takeoff to Indianapolis — returned to the gate where passengers deplaned. . .

The station spoke to Shannon and Jamie Lee who were aboard the flight with two of their children; the couple told KXAS everything seemed normal until they heard the pilot on the loudspeaker.

“He said there’s a rattle outside of the plane, and they needed to return back to the gate,” Jamie Lee recalled to the station.

The couple told KXAS the pilot said the plane needed to be checked to determine if it was functional — then added that the front of the plane was damaged, and everyone would have to deplane.

Dems Still in Disarray: Fetterman Tells His Fellow Democrats to Calm Down

Last week, in an interview with POLITICO, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) spoke out against Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blaming President Joe Biden for Democrats’ election losses earlier this month. He’s also weighed in on President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, referring to the selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as “God-tiered kind of trolling,” though he does support Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for Secretary of State and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) as ambassador to the United Nations.

On Sunday, Fetterman also spoke about his party’s reaction to Trump’s win–something he had been warning about for weeks–during his appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

In response to host Jake Tapper reminding Fetterman that he’s said Democrats “shouldn’t be ‘freaking out’ over every single thing that Trump does,” the senator doubled down on how he is “absolutely excited” about Rubio and Stefanik, though he considers picks like Gaetz to be “just absolute trolls.”

“And that’s why Democrats–like, Trump gets the kind of thing–mean, he gets the kind of thing that he wanted, like the freak-out and all of those things. And he hasn’t even been–it’s still not even not even Thanksgiving yet,” Fetterman reminded. “And if we’re having meltdowns every tweet or every appointment or all those things, I mean, it’s going to be four years,” he continued, about four years that hasn’t even begun yet.

Fetterman himself also pointed out that he had been warning not just about a Trump win, but that he had been “warning about the jackpot,” with Republicans also gaining control of the Senate, keeping control of the House, and conservative judges being a majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, something Fetterman called “the real jackpot.”

Medical Examiner Makes Stunning Admission During Daniel Penny Trial

The medical examiner who deemed Jordan Neely’s death was a homicide caused by Daniel Penny placing him in a chokehold made a stunning admission on the witness stand Friday: she didn’t wait for the toxicology report; the viral video alone of Penny subduing Neely on the New York City subway was what convinced her that Penny killed Neely.

“No toxicological result imaginable was going to change my opinion,” the prosecution’s last witness, Dr. Cynthia Harris of the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office, testified during Penny’s trial, per NBC News reporters present in the courtroom.

So, the forensic pathologist based the autopsy report, in part, off of the footage itself of the fatal encounter, which Harris said she saw was clear-cut evidence ruling out that Neely had died of a drug overdose.

“After watching it, I had no further questions as to why he was dead,” Harris said.

Penny’s defense attorneys questioned Harris about her initially writing “inconclusive” for the cause of death on Neely’s death certificate. One day after Neely’s death, the finding on May 2, 2023, said “pending further study.” The doctor said she eventually decided on asphyxiation, consistent with compression of the neck, upon reviewing the video in question depicting Neely “dying.” (Read more from “Medical Examiner Makes Stunning Admission During Daniel Penny Trial” HERE)
