Weinstein Brother Claims He Didn’t ‘Know’ Sibling Was Predator

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Weinstein Co. exec insists he had no idea about “the type of predator that he was” and is sickened by Harvey’s seeming lack of remorse. “I want him to get the justice that he deserves.”

For nearly 30 years, Bob Weinstein has lived in the shadow of his older brother Harvey Weinstein. While Harvey, 65, was the very public face of Miramax and then The Weinstein Company from Sundance to Cannes to Hollywood, palling around with stars and schmoozing Oscar voters, Bob, 62, has served on TWC’s board and tended to Dimension, their genre label, turning out movies like the Scream and Scary Movie franchises, that routinely made more money than all but Harvey’s biggest hits.

Now, in the wake of the dozens of allegations charging Harvey with three decades of sexual harassment, abuse and even rape, Harvey is out, fired from the company he co-founded with Bob in 2005. And Bob, thrust into an unaccustomed limelight, is forced to try to pick up the pieces amid the growing chaos. He insists that the company — which is expected to undergo a name change — can survive. But four of his fellow board members have resigned, and his COO David Glasser and other key members of his 150-employee staff have yet to commit to stay with the company. Amid widespread predictions that the Weinstein Co. will be forced to shut down or sell all or parts, he maintains, “There is a plan to come out on the other side.” (Read more from “Weinstein Brother Claims He Didn’t ‘Know’ Sibling Was Predator” HERE)

Women’s March Taps Rape Fantasy Writer for Speaking Slot

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Women’s March is “so excited.” And rightly so. Because in the first national Women’s Convention in 40 years, the convention managed to bag none other than an old, white male with a history of fantasizing about rape to deliver its opening-night speech.

Yup — they got the Bernie Sanders.

Sanders is expected to address more than 3,000 women and progressive activists, in all their pink pussy-hatted glory, presumably.

When he’s done giving the opening remarks, will he read from his 1972 essay, “Man – And – Women”?

The line about how “A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes about being raped by 3 men simultaneously,” will undoubtedly be a highlight for all.

But seriously — of all people, in the entire world …

It does begin to make more sense, though, when remembering the Women’s March has nothing to do with female empowerment. It’s about advancing Marxism. (For more from the author of “Women’s March Taps Rape Fantasy Writer for Speaking Slot” please click HERE)

Police Fear the Worst When Kindergarten Teacher Goes Missing After Bailing Man out of Jail

/0 Comments/in , /by

It was on Oct. 6, that an Arizona kindergarten teacher, Cathryn Gorospe, went missing after reportedly bailing a man out of the Coconino County Jail in Flagstaff.

It was then discovered that the same man, Charlie Malzahn, 27, was later caught using her credit and debit cards in a different city, suggesting to authorities something fatal may have happened to the woman.

According to reports, Gorospe had left her house to post bail for Malzahn, who had been lingering in jail since Aug. 20 on a litany of charge. She never returned home.

Malzahn was briefly detained by authorities in Tucson the following day for using Gorospe’s credit and debit cards to purchase items from a mall.

Because Gorospe’s roommate had not yet reported her missing, however, they simply confiscated the items and let him go.

However, a day after her roommate had gone to police about Gorospe’s disappearance, authorities spotted her vehicle being driven by Malzahn in Phoenix. After a brief pursuit, he crashed and was taken into custody, KESQ reported.

Though bloodstains were found in the vehicle, suggesting Gorospe had been murdered, authorities continued to refrain from reaching any conclusions due to extenuating circumstances that had muddled the case.

Besides not yet understanding the relationship between Gorospe and Malzahn, authorities were also unsure of whether her sister had been friends with him as well.

Moreover, it was reported that Gorospe is the son of the chief of police in Williams — a nearby town.

What was known for certain was that after Gorospe bailed out Malzahn, the two traveled together until some point in which Malzahn apparently commandeered the vehicle and continued driving on his own, reportedly crisscrossing the state.

It had also beenrevealed that after being bailed out by Gorospe, Malzahn had contacted some of his acquaintances in search of drugs and a gun.

A subsequent report revealed he has a lengthy rap sheet spanning roughly half of his adult life.

“Department of Corrections records show he served a one-year sentence in 2008 for theft and a four-year sentence for a 2012 aggravated assault and resisting arrest — a case he had just finished serving in June,” reported Phoenix station KNXV.

As of Oct. 12, Gorospe’s family had traveled to Arizona from California and were planning to conduct an extensive search for her.

Anyone with information was encouraged to call Flagstaff police at 928-774-1414. (For more from the author of “Police Fear the Worst When Kindergarten Teacher Goes Missing After Bailing Man out of Jail” please click HERE)

‘Scam’ Superintendent Trying to ‘Interest’ Homeschoolers in State Program

/0 Comments/in , /by

A “scam” by a South Dakota school superintendent offering homeschoolers free laptops in exchange for enrolling in his district for one day has been explained.

He was just hoping to interest them in a distance-learning program.

“We thought providing valuable learning tools to our homeschool students while also increasing school revenue was a good idea,” Tri-Valley District Supt. Mike Lodmel said in a letter to the South Dakota Government Operations and Oversight Committee.

The group was assigned to investigate whether or not Lodmel’s scheme was an attempt “to game student headcounts for purposes of garnering more state funds.”

As WND reported last month, Lodmel sent officials to the front doors of families with homeschooled students, presenting the offer. The Argus-Leader in Sioux Falls reported he wanted the children to spend one day in public school “and go home with a new laptop.

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Oxford University student union reportedly barred the Christian Union from setting up a stall at a college freshers’ fair, with a representative calling Christianity “an excuse for homophobia and neo-colonialism.”

Oxford University student newspaper Cherwell reported on Sunday of a leaked email chain, which reveals that the incident involving Christian Union took place at Balliol College, a constituent college of the University of Oxford in England.

Student union Vice President Freddy Potts reportedly said:

“We recognize the wonderful advantages in having CU representatives at the Fresher’s Fair, but are concerned that there is potential for harm to freshers who are already struggling to feel welcome in Oxford. (Read more from “Christian Student Union Banned From University Fair” HERE)

Boy Scouts Will Admit Girls, Allow Them to Earn Eagle Scout Rank

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Boy Scouts of America announced on Wednesday that girls will soon be allowed to become Cub Scouts and to earn the coveted rank of Eagle Scout, the organization’s highest honor.

“We believe it is critical to evolve how our programs meet the needs of families interested in positive and lifelong experiences for their children,” said Michael Surbaugh, chief executive of the Boy Scouts.

The scouting board of directors voted unanimously to make the historic change in an organization that has been primarily for boys since its founding more than 100 years ago.

Starting next year, young girls can join Cub Scout units, known as dens. Local scouting organizations can choose to have dens for girls and dens for boys. “Cub Scout dens will be single-gender — all boys or all girls,” the organization said in a statement.

A separate program for older girls will be available in 2019, the Boy Scouts said, enabling them to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. (Read more from “Boy Scouts Will Admit Girls, Allow Them to Earn Eagle Scout Rank” HERE)

Sara and Charles Rippey lived together for much of their century-long lives.

She was 98; he was 100.

But on Sunday night, they died together in their house in Napa, Calif., when a wind-whipped wildfire engulfed the property, causing the roof to cave in and the windows to explode, leaving the couple trapped inside. (Read more from “Couple Wed 75 Years Among California Wildfire Victims” HERE)

A Florida man who works as a hospital pharmacist was arrested Saturday and charged with sexual battery after he reportedly drugged his Tinder date.

According to a police affidavit, Robert Woods, 27, met the woman on the dating app Tinder and the pair agreed to meet at a bar in downtown Tampa, Fox 35 reported.

The woman reportedly had one beer at the restaurant before Woods suggested they leave and go to his apartment, where he claimed his friends were having a party.

When they arrived, there was reportedly no party. But the pair stayed at the apartment and started to play a drinking game, which led to the victim taking a shot of what she allegedly thought was Absinth liquor. (Read more from “Pharmacist Drugs Woman During Tinder Date” HERE)

Bad Marriage Tied to Bad Health in Men

/0 Comments/in , /by

The ups and downs of married life take their toll on dads’ hearts, a new study found.

The roller-coaster relationship between spouses causes blood pressure, bad cholesterol and weight to rise and fall in men compared to those in stable relationships.

When things are bad and the relationship is deteriorating, men’s blood pressure soars.

But when they got along better with their wives, men saw their bad cholesterol and weight drop and generally saw cholesterol and blood pressure improve. (Read more from “Bad Marriage Tied to Bad Health in Men” HERE)
