Serial California Butt Sniffer Arrested Again

A California man with a history of lewd behavior towards women was arrested once again after police received another report of a suspicious individual in a Glendale, California, business on Friday. Police officers arrested 39-year-old Calese Carron Crowder after two separate businesses reported suspicious activity.

Police officers responded to the area at around 3:30 p.m. on Friday. According to a report by mynewsla.com, a witness saw the man “hunkered down” and approaching people to smell them. Police were also dispatched to a nearby clothing store near South Brand Boulevard and East Broadway regarding a similar report. At that location, police reviewed surveillance video and identified Crowder as the suspect in the incident after it showed him allegedly engaged in similar offensive “sniffing” behavior.

As reported by Breitbart Texas, Crowder’s history of arrests for lewd activity is well known among surrounding Los Angeles area municipalities. In July 2025, Crowder was arrested after police received similar reports of a man loitering at a department store in Burbank, California.

On that occasion, according to a Burbank Police Department press release, officers responded to the report of a suspicious individual in the Nordstrom Rack department store at 1601 North Victory Place. Upon arrival, they were informed by store employees that the man had left. Police began searching the surrounding businesses in hopes of locating the man.

During a search of a nearby Walmart, Crowder was located as he moved around the various departments of the big-box retailer. Using the store’s surveillance system, officers monitored the suspect as he walked through the women’s department, where he was observed following a female customer.

Supreme Court Delivers Win to Trump, Allows Construction to Continue on White House Ballroom

The Supreme Court delivered a win to President Donald Trump, ruling that construction on the $400 million White House ballroom can continue.

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court stopped a ruling from a lower court that would have “restricted construction until Congress provided additional approvals,” the Hill reported.

While the ruling from the court “is not a final decision, and the case could ultimately return to the Supreme Court,” construction on the ballroom can move forward, according to the outlet:

It is not a final decision, and the case could ultimately return to the Supreme Court. But in the meantime, construction may proceed unimpeded. A 250-person crew is working on the ballroom 20 hours a day, seven days a week, court records indicate. . .

While Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was reported to have joined Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor in dissenting, Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett “sided with the president, ruling that a preservationist group likely had no right to sue.” (Read more from “Supreme Court Delivers Win to Trump, Allows Construction to Continue on White House Ballroom” HERE)

Federal Judge: Child Sex Abuse Images Are OK As Long As They’re Made With AI

A federal judge ruled this week that possession of images depicting child sexual abuse material (CSAM), otherwise known as child pornography, is protected by the First Amendment so long as the images are created with artificial intelligence (AI) and do not depict real people.

Seventh Circuit Appeals Judge John Z. Lee issued the ruling in a case where defendant Steven Anderegg was charged with producing, distributing, and possessing thousands of photorealistic AI child sex abuse images, as well as sending the materials to a young boy. The 13,000-plus images, many of which depicted nude, prepubescent children touching their genitals and being involved in sexual intercourse with men.

While Lee’s ruling upheld a district court dismissal of the possession charge, it appeared to include an implicit request for the Supreme Court to review its precedent on the matter, which was made well prior to advancements in AI.

“We now live in an age where GenAI models can render images depicting the abuse of virtual children that are virtually indistinguishable from those depicting the abuse of actual children,” Lee wrote. “Given the relentless advancement in artificial intelligence models, we have some concerns about the lines these cases draw, but we are not free to redraw them ourselves.”

Lee noted the controlling precedent in Stanley v. Georgia, a 1969 unanimous Warren Court opinion written by Justice Thurgood Marshall claiming private possession of obscene materials was protected by the First Amendment, and Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, where a 6-3 court in 2002 effectively allowed virtual child pornography. Those cases, Lee wrote, mean “we must affirm.” (Read more from “Federal Judge: Child Sex Abuse Images Are OK As Long As They’re Made With AI” HERE)

Trump Announces ‘Historic’ Deal With Venezuela That ‘MORE THAN DOUBLES’ U.S. Oil Reserves

President Donald Trump announced an historic energy deal with Venezuela in a Truth Social post Friday night.

The president called the deal “THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY.” Trump wrote that the United States secured “majority U.S. control” of over 65 million barrels’ worth of Venezuelan oil reserves.

Trump credited Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez and “a partnership with private business.”

The president stated that the deal more than doubles American reserves and will “substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans.” He added that the deal would strengthen the “already growing relationship” between the two countries.

In a subsequent Truth Social post, Trump wrote that the agreement was “the biggest oil deal, by far, in World history!”

At Least 15 Hikers Missing as Flash Flood Sweeps through Grand Canyon

A desperate search was underway Sunday for at least 15 missing hikers who vanished when a flash flood swept through the Grand Canyon.

The National Park Service (NPS) confirmed 46-year-old man was dead and many others missing as they continued scouring the popular retreats of Bright Angel Canyon and Phantom Ranch after the torrent struck at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

Apocalyptic footage showed a stream of water wiping what appeared to be a building downstream as the wall of mud was surged through the ravine.

Dramatic rescue video also captured helicopter pilots carrying people to safety as the rainstorm battered the chopper and the extent of the devastation could be seen below.

In an update Sunday afternoon, the Grand Canyon National Park Service issued a request for information about 20 missing people, before a spokesman later revised the figure to 15.

It said: “The National Park Service is asking the public to provide information for more than 20 individuals who may be missing or unaccounted for following a significant flash-flood event in Bright Angel Canyon and the Phantom Ranch area on August 29.

GOP Trailing in 8 Battleground Senate Races 2 Months before Election Day: Polling Aggregate

Republicans are trailing in eight of the major battleground Senate races, just two months out from Election Day, the RealClearPolitics aggregate of polling shows.

The GOP had long been widely seen as the underdogs for control of the House due to historical trends against the party in control of the White House, but the Senate map is starting to look increasingly fraught, even in once reliably red states such as Texas and Ohio.

“It points out the obvious that Republicans are in pretty bad shape going into the midterms and that they’re looking at historic losses,” Republican strategist Terry Holt bluntly told The Post about the bleak polling.

“The question is whether some of these races can be saved with some miraculous turnout that apparently is going to be very expensive or whether or not the mood in this country can be changed fundamentally.”

Republicans are down 2 points in Alaska, 7.5 points in Georgia, 2.3 points in Maine, 1.8 points in Michigan, 2.6 points in Ohio, 2 points in New Hampshire, 8 points in North Carolina, and 1.9 points in Texas, according to the latest RCP polling aggregate data of the Senate races.

Hillary Clinton’s Search for Intern with ‘High Level’ of ‘Discretion’ Draws Mockery

Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s search for an intern has drawn criticism because she wants someone who can keep their mouth shut.

The intern, who will not be paid, will work for Clinton’s office in New York City, the New York Post reported Sunday.

The Daybook posting said, “The Office of Hillary Rodham Clinton is seeking Fall Interns from September 9, 2026 — November 13, 2026.”

“Interns will provide support to our staff, assisting on a wide range of projects,” it continued. Most notably, the posting said the office is looking for someone who has a “high level of professionalism and discretion.”

Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton (D), had an affair with a White House intern named Monica Lewinsky, who was 22 years old, during his time in office. However, his wife has since argued he did not abuse his power in the situation, Breitbart News reported in 2018.

At the FBI, a History of Hiring Prostitutes, Bestiality may no Longer be a Barrier to Being Hired

The FBI previously refused to hire job applicants if they admitted to hiring sex workers or stealing from an employer — or engaging in acts of bestiality.

Today, those acts, which are mostly illegal across the country, are no longer automatic deal breakers for applicants to the nation’s top law enforcement agency.

In June, the FBI quietly lowered some of the standards it uses when it conducts background checks on would-be federal agents and other personnel. According to multiple sources briefed on the matter, the FBI did so to facilitate hiring in some cases, even if candidates acknowledged they engaged in sexually deviant activities or stole from an employer.

The move comes as the FBI has lost scores of employees through firings, retirements and resignations since the start of the Trump administration.

Under specific circumstances, the FBI is willing to give candidates a pass on prostitution, as long as they have not hired sex workers three or more times, the sources told CBS News. And the hiring of the sex workers must not have taken place within the last 10 years, several of the sources added.

Donald Trump Threatens to Withdraw Falklands Support as US Issues Andy Burnham Defense Ultimatum

The United States has threatened not to support the UK’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands if Andy Burnham does not commit to an increase in defence spending.

Senior defence officials in the Pentagon are drawing up plans to apply pressure on Nato members that still fail to reach the alliance’s five per cent spending pledge.

A senior US official told The Telegraph that Britain will be examined with “special attention” as Washington assesses its allies’ capability and commitment to increase defence spending.

Describing Sir Keir Starmer’s Defence Investment Plan (Dip) as not enough of a “step in the right direction”, Washington officials’ belief in Britain being a key military partner to the US is wavering.

“I would expect the UK to receive special attention because it has so much potential,” they said. (Read more from “Donald Trump Threatens to Withdraw Falklands Support as US Issues Andy Burnham Defense Ultimatum” HERE)

Disheveled Milo Yiannopoulos Scowls in Mugshot as He’s Detained by ICE after ‘Overstaying His Welcome’

Firebrand right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos looked miserable and disheveled with bags under his eyes in a mugshot taken after he was nabbed by ICE.

The former spokesman for Kanye West is being held in ICE custody in Alexandria, Louisiana, because he “chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a post Friday.

Yiannopoulos, 41, who is British, appeared unshaven and exhausted with messy hair in a mugshot posted by the agency.

The ex-Breitbart News editor entered the country legally through New York City in May 2019, according to officials, who said he skipped an immigration hearing after being issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge on July 22.

“Yiannopoulos legally entered the country on May 14, 2019, through New York City, New York. He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws,” the agency wrote, adding that he was arrested Thursday.

DHS called him “an illegal alien from the United Kingdom,” and warned in the post that “being in detention is a choice” (Read more from “Disheveled Milo Yiannopoulos Scowls in Mugshot as He’s Detained by ICE after ‘Overstaying His Welcome’” HERE)
