Report: Iconic Athlete Files Lawsuit Against Mark Wahlberg, Alleges Multi-Million Dollar Loss in Business Deal

/0 Comments/in , /by

David Beckham has initiated legal action against actor Mark Wahlberg and his business partners following a reported dispute over a failed fitness endorsement deal involving the F45 brand, as per Daily Mail’s Saturday report.

The controversy revolves around F45, a fitness franchise in which Wahlberg holds investments. The brand enlisted Beckham to endorse personalized workout programs, with their collaboration commencing in November 2020, featuring Beckham prominently in promotional material and social media campaigns. However, the partnership soured amidst alleged disagreements over equity shares Beckham claims were assured to him.

This legal feud traces its origins back to Beckham’s association with Wahlberg following his move to Los Angeles in 2007 to join LA Galaxy. What began as a friendship evolved into a professional relationship when Beckham endorsed F45. He reportedly anticipated receiving shares in early 2022 but was purportedly met with delays in the disclosure of these shares. Consequently, Beckham alleges substantial financial losses amounting to an estimated $10.5 million, with the shares’ value dropping from around $12 to $3 each.

Initially, Beckham’s company, David Beckham Ventures Ltd (DBVL), sought nearly $19 million in damages from F45 for alleged breach of promises. However, the lawsuit has expanded to include direct claims against Wahlberg’s investment group and F45’s founders, Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch. The fitness franchise, F45, is currently grappling with broader financial challenges, witnessing a sharp decline in its share price from an early high of $16 to just 15 cents, alongside franchise closures across multiple countries.

Wahlberg and his associates have contested Beckham’s accusations of fraudulent behavior, challenging the claims as unsubstantiated.

Who Is the Self-Described ‘Investigative Researcher’ Max Azzarello Who Set Self on Fire Outside Trump Trial After Spewing Conspiracy Theories

/7 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. The Florida man who lit himself on fire outside the Manhattan courthouse where former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial was unfolding Friday is a self-described “investigative researcher” who appeared to become more erratic over the last year and spewed conspiracy theories about the “elites” in a lengthy manifesto.

Max Azzarello, 37, of St. Augustine, Fla., tossed a stack of pamphlets into the air, which included links to a Substack newsletter apparently authored by the self-immolator called “The Ponzi Papers” moments before he doused himself in gasoline and set himself ablaze in Collect Pond Park.

At the top of the site is an article with the headline “I have set myself on fire outside of the Trump Trial,” followed by a rambling manifesto riddled with conspiracy theories on everything from cryptocurrency and Hollywood actors to COVID and former President Bill Clinton.

“My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan,” the nearly 2,700-word posting begins.

“This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery: We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.” (Read more from “Who Is the Self-Described ‘Investigative Researcher’ Max Azzarello Who Set Self on Fire Outside Trump Trial After Spewing Conspiracy Theories” HERE)

‘Very Scary’: Hillary Clinton Suggests ‘What Trump Really Wants’ Is To ‘Kill His Opposition’

/6 Comments/in , /by

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during a podcast released on Friday that she believes former President Donald Trump wants to model himself after dictators like Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump beat Clinton to become president during the 2016 election, and she has alleged that he has connections to Russia. Clinton, on the “Democracy Docket” podcast, accused Trump of modeling himself after Russian President Vladmir Putin and other global dictators, suggesting her former opponent wants to commit heinous acts against those who oppose him.

“Putin does what [Trump] would like to do,” Clinton told election lawyer Marc Elias during the podcast. “Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists into exile, rule without any check or balance. That’s what Trump really wants. And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because in that world, he only sees strong men leaders. He sees Putin, he sees Xi, he sees Kim Jong Un in North Korea. Those are the people he is modeling himself after and we’ve been down this road in our, you know, world history. We sure don’t want to go down that again.” (Read more from “‘Very Scary’: Hillary Clinton Suggests ‘What Trump Really Wants’ Is To ‘Kill His Opposition’” HERE)

‘Kraken’ Lawyer Sidney Powell Wins Unanimous Dismissal of Ethics Case Over ‘Scattershot’ and Incompetent Disciplinary Effort by State Bar of Texas Over 2020 Election Lawsuits

/7 Comments/in , , /by

The so-called “Kraken” of the legal system has won a personal and professional victory in the Lone Star State.

On Thursday, a Dallas-based court of appeals upheld a trial court decision that decided against any form of discipline for attorney Sidney Powell over her November 2020 lawsuits that sought “to prevent the certification of election results in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.”

In early 2023, the case was tossed on a defense motion to dismiss because of mislabeled evidence and several other deficiencies.

A three-judge panel of Democratic Party judges said the problems with the case against Powell were even worse than that.

“By its own admission, the Bar misidentified or failed to include multiple exhibits it claims to have relied on in its Second Amended Response,” the opinion by the Fifth District Court of Appeals reads. “But the deficiencies go far beyond mislabeling exhibits.” (Read more from “‘Kraken’ Lawyer Sidney Powell Wins Unanimous Dismissal of Ethics Case Over ‘Scattershot’ and Incompetent Disciplinary Effort by State Bar of Texas Over 2020 Election Lawsuits” HERE)

Pro-Rape Child Safety Officer for Google Was Just Fired…

/7 Comments/in , /by

Sometimes the trash takes itself out. Case in point: Dr. Kate S., a proud rape apologist who was part of Google’s “child safety” team, has just been shown the door. She made headlines for all the wrong reasons after a past tweet of hers went viral. In it, she chastised “Karens” for holding “men of color” responsible for rape. Yes, you heard that right. This disturbing tweet from the so-called Google “child safety” strategist left decent people absolutely floored. It’s a really frightening reminder of who’s been in charge of what we’re supposed to consider “safety” online.

Here’s what Dr. Kate S. had to say about “Karen” women who complain about being raped:

Racism Worse Than Mass Murder? FBI Enlists the Help of Notorious CIA -Linked Drug Cartel Family to Arrest Reputed White Supremacist

/5 Comments/in , /by

Speaking to MVS Noticias with Luis Cárdenas, journalist Óscar Balmen claimed he was told by an FBI source that El Chapo’s sons, known as Los Chapitos, were involved in Young’s arrest.

He said: “As for El Chapo’s sons, they knew that an American fugitive was hiding in one of their strongholds. They decided they would score points with the FBI and hand him over as a goodwill offering.

The sons of infamous drug lord Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán reportedly caught a wanted FBI fugitive and handed him over as a “goodwill offering”.

David DeWayne Young, known as Khaos, was wanted as part of a massive drug conspiracy case. He is allegedly a member of the Ghostface Gangsters Gang, a whites-only organised crime group that emerged from a jail in Georgia, US, in the early 2000s.

Young was arrested in Hermosillo, Mexico, in March this year in a joint effort between the FBI and Mexican law enforcement. However, now it appears the Sinaloa Cartel may have played a key role in bringing him to justice. (Read more from “Racism Worse Than Mass Murder?

Country Pauses Transgender Medications for Minors

/3 Comments/in , /by

Scotland has paused all new prescriptions of transgender medications such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, the latest in a string of developments in Britain pumping the brakes on transgender medical services for minors.

Scotland’s only youth gender clinic, the Sandyford clinic in Glasgow, which is operated by Scotland’s National Health Service (NHS) made the announcement on Thursday.

New prescriptions for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones have been paused, although children already receiving these drugs will be able to remain on them, the clinic said in a statement. Teenagers must now be 18 before being prescribed cross-sex hormones, the clinic said.

“We are committed to providing the best possible clinical care for young people accessing and understand the distress that gender incongruence can cause,” the clinic said. “While this pause is in place, we will continue to give anyone who is referred into the Young People Gender Service the psychological support that they require while we review the pathways in line with the findings.” (Read more from “Country Pauses Transgender Medications for Minors” HERE)

‘Grotesque … Betrayal of Students’: Critics Blast Biden’s New Title IX Regulations Championing ‘Gender Identity’

/8 Comments/in , /by

On Friday, the Biden administration released its new Title IX regulations, and its strictures engendered anger and outrage for those defending traditional values.

The document, which runs over 1,500 pages, states that the Department of Education “disagrees with the contention that including sexual orientation and gender identity in the scope of §106.10 harms women. Recognizing these bases of sex discrimination under Title IX in no way lessens the force of Title IX’s protections against discrimination that limits educational opportunities for girls and women. Further, discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is typically motivated by the same sex stereotypes that limit opportunities for women regardless of whether they identify as LGBTQI+.” . . .

Nicole Neily, President of Parents Defending Education, also responded to the new regulations:

It is grotesque that the White House has chosen to capitulate to extremists in his party, sacrificing the First Amendment on the altar of Title IX and disregarding clearly established Supreme Court precedent on the definition of sexual harassment. Extending Title IX to cover gender identity means that schools will no longer have discretion over whether – or how – to provide certain services and activities to students on the basis of self-declared gender identity.

Title IX was written in 1972 when “sex” meant male and female, and no amount of interpretive jiujitsu permits a cabinet agency to rewrite the plain language of the law. Efforts to do so have failed repeatedly in Congress for one simple reason: such an expansion of law is deeply unpopular, with opposition to these changes spanning both political and racial lines. This betrayal of students will not soon be forgotten by American parents, and we look forward to suing the Administration over this policy soon.

Trump’s Former Attorney, John Eastman, Calls Out Bank of America and USAA for Closing Accounts

/5 Comments/in , /by

In a recent turn of events, John Eastman, a former attorney for former President Donald Trump has spoken out after Bank of America and USAA closed his accounts without warning.

Eastman told the Daily Caller that he was “de-banked” twice within a few months by these financial giants due to the backlash he faced for advising Trump during the 2020 election. Despite being federally insured and having received billions in taxpayer bailouts during the global financial crisis, both institutions closed his accounts.

In September 2023, Bank of America informed Eastman of their decision to close his accounts, as shown in a letter obtained by the Daily Caller. Shortly after, in November, USAA followed suit, notifying Eastman of the closure of his two bank accounts.

Eastman expressed his frustration, saying, “We had all our automatic payments and deposits set up with USAA, so shifting everything to a new bank was a real hassle.”

USAA justified their action citing their “Depository Agreement,” which states that they can close accounts without advance notice and may require customers to provide a minimum of seven days’ notice to withdraw their funds.
