Denzel Washington Once ‘Stormed Out’ of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Party, Screamed ‘You Don’t Respect Anyone’: Report

Denzel Washington had fighting words for Sean “Diddy” Combs at one of the disgraced rapper’s parties back in the early aughts, according to a new report.

The Oscar-winning actor, 69, “screamed” at Combs before he “stormed out” of an all-night party that the music mogul hosted in 2003, an unnamed source told Us Weekly.

The outlet describes the insider as someone who was “friendly” with Diddy “in the early 2000s.”

“Denzel screamed, ‘You don’t respect anyone,’” the source claimed.

“[Denzel and his wife, Pauletta] had been partying until dawn [with Diddy], and they had seen something and stormed out,” the insider continued. (Read more from “Denzel Washington Once ‘Stormed Out’ of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Party, Screamed ‘You Don’t Respect Anyone’: Report” HERE)

In the Days After Hurricane Helene, Not One of the Biden-Harris Cabinet Visited

The death toll for Hurricane Helene has reached more than 160 and hundreds of Americans are still unaccounted for, as massive swaths of the American South are reeling from the natural disaster. The Dossier has found that not a single Biden-Harris administration cabinet official is on the ground in disaster areas, and none have expressed an intention to visit the sites most impacted by the hurricane.

President Biden spent Friday to Sunday at the beach in Delaware, according to his public schedule. On Monday, he was at the White House to celebrate the U.S. Olympic team.

When asked what he’s doing to help with the Helene response, Biden said he “was on the phone for two hours yesterday” while he was in reality just sitting on the beach in Delaware.

Vice President Kamala Harris spent the weekend campaigning and raising money on the West Coast, hosting high-dollar fundraisers and rallies in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas.

After some blowback, her team released a “Veep”-like PR photo Monday on X, showcasing Harris on her plane (with unplugged headphones and blank pieces of paper in front of her), cosplaying a leader who is managing the Helene response.

Philadelphia Man Shot Boyfriend in the Neck and Lit His Body on Fire Then Searched ‘Having Sex With Dead Bodies’ Online

A Philadelphia man has been convicted of shooting his boyfriend to death and then setting his body on fire in order to keep people from finding out about their gay relationship.

Prosecutors said that 23-year-old Kylen Pratt searched online for the phrase “having sex with dead bodies” after looking for news coverage about the victim’s body being found by police. . .

Prosecutors said Johnson was in a relationship with Pratt and that he had gone to his home on Feb. 17, where he was shot in the neck with a 9mm gun. Pratt then transported Johnson’s body to a remote area of a park, where he wrapped it in cloth, plastic, and duct tape before lighting it on fire.

Cell phone data placed the victim at Pratt’s home and also Pratt at the park. It also indicated that he searched for “murdering in cold blood,” “having sex with dead bodies,” and “traits of a psychopath.”

“This is an individual who was killed because he was gay and because the man who killed him didn’t want anyone to find out that he was in a relationship with him or he had sex with other men,” said Assistant District Attorney Cydney Pope. “Plain and simple.” (Read more from “Philadelphia Man Shot Boyfriend in the Neck and Lit His Body on Fire Then Searched ‘Having Sex With Dead Bodies’ Online” HERE)

Despite Skyrocketing Budget, Secret Service Can’t Seem To Find The Money To Protect The President

The U.S. Secret Service’s budget has increased by nearly $1 billion since 2014, but only $200 million of that has gone to protective operations, according to the agency’s budget.

The agency, which is set to get an additional $231 million in funding from Speaker Mike Johnson’s government funding bill, appears to have funneled more resources into administrative personnel than into protective operations, according to budget documents.

The agency’s total approved budget for the fiscal year 2024 is just under $2.8 billion, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget document. Approximately $1.15 billion of that was allocated for “Protective Operations.”

That’s up from a $1.8 billion total budget in 2014, according to NBC News. Of that $1.8 billion, $924 million went to “Protection,” according to a 2014 DHS budget.

The relatively small increase in protection funds — less than $200 million — is dwarfed by the total budget increase, much of which has gone to line items like Professional Development, Professional Training Programs and “Human Capital Strategic Plan Growth,” which had a $42 million outlay in the Secret Service’s 2023 budget.

How Does Tim Walz Explain His Stolen Valor Controversy? CBS Moderators Didn’t Bother Asking

To nobody’s surprise, CBS News’ hack-tivist debate moderators allowed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s myriad lies about his military service to go unaddressed during Tuesday’s 2024 vice-presidential debate.

While finding time to ask dishonest questions about baby-killing and Jan. 6, neither Norah O’Donnell nor Margaret Brennan bothered to ask Walz about how he regularly inflated his rank and lied about details surrounding his time in the Army National Guard to boost his political career.

For example, on numerous occasions the Minnesota Democrat portrayed himself as a retired command sergeant major. While it’s true that Walz was promoted to command sergeant major during the waning years of his service, he did not complete the minimum number of years required to retain the rank when he abandoned his unit before it deployed to Iraq and is actually a lesser-ranked master sergeant.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate has also falsified the circumstances of his overseas deployment. Speaking about gun violence at a campaign event in 2018, Walz said, “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at.”

The problem? Walz never carried so-called “weapons of war” in a combat zone because he was never deployed to one. As The Federalist’s Matt Kittle noted, his Guard unit “was called up early in the war in Iraq — to Italy.” (Read more from “How Does Tim Walz Explain His Stolen Valor Controversy?

Anti-Trump Impeachment Witness Sondland: ‘Yes’ I’m Voting for Trump

Former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, who was a witness in former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that he will vote for Trump because he disagrees with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ policies.

Host Ari Melber said, “Why was it important for you to say no more Trump because of this January 6? Do you stand by that?”

Sondland said, “No. I’ll tell you why. I’ve lived four years under the Biden-Harris policies, and I have to say those policies are not only becoming an existential threat to our country’s way of life but to our allies as well.”

Melber said, “This is striking. You said it was a no for me after January 6. And here we are right now and you’re saying it’s a yes.”

Sondland said, “It is a yes for me. It is an absolute yes for me. That is how badly the Biden-Harris team have prosecuted their job.” (Read more from “Anti-Trump Impeachment Witness Sondland: ‘Yes’ I’m Voting for Trump” HERE)

Judge Releases Jack Smith’s Latest Filing in Trump Election Interference Case

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan Wednesday unsealed special counsel Jack Smith’s latest motion in his salvaged case against Donald Trump for interference in the 2020 election.

Chutkan’s release of the redacted motion – filed last week – follows Trump’s surge in swing state polls and comes the day after Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Trump’s running mate, shined in the vice presidential debate – likely the last debate in the election cycle.

Under local criminal rule 47(e) of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, motions of this type are limited to 45 pages. Yet Chutkan allowed Smith to file a mammoth 165-page motion, which Smith used to rehash – in official court documents – political attacks and Democrat grievances against Trump yet to be proven in court.

Smith’s motion includes one-sided allegations that turn on Trump’s state of mind, repeating that Trump’s claims regarding the election were knowingly false and deceitful without allowing the possibility that Trump believed what he said.

Trump emphatically denies Smith’s charges, and many commentators profess that Trump sincerely believes that he would have won if all relevant laws were faithfully enforced. (Read more from “Judge Releases Jack Smith’s Latest Filing in Trump Election Interference Case” HERE)

Tim Walz Staggered by Cool JD Vance, Admits ‘I’m a Knucklehead’ During Genial VP Debate; Tim Roasted for ‘Uncomfortable’ Appearance During VP Debate: ‘Hard to Watch’

By New York Post. Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz stunned watchers of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate as he nervously fidgeted, frowned and even called himself a “knucklehead” — while his Republican counterpart, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, gave a steady and lawyerly presentation and was widely seen as the victor.

The largely good-natured forum, hosted by CBS News, featured the two candidates agreeing with each other repeatedly and expressing warm personal sentiments — avoiding the blistering personal attacks that were part of both presidential debates earlier this year.

Walz, 60, who has honed a folksy demeanor on the campaign trail, was noticeably nervous and misspoke repeatedly as he wrung his hands, took frantic notes, and his eyes darted around the CBS studio. . .

The Democrat stumbled again, in what will be the most replayed moment of the debate, when he was asked about fresh reporting that he lied about having been in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre in the spring of 1989.

“Look, I will be the first to tell you I have poured my heart into my community,” Walz said in a rambling initial response. “I’ve tried to do the best I can, but I’ve not been perfect, and I’m a knucklehead at times, but it’s always been about that those same people elected me to Congress for 12 years.” (Read more from “Tim Walz Staggered by Cool JD Vance, Admits ‘I’m a Knucklehead’ During Genial VP Debate” HERE)

Tim Walz Roasted for ‘Uncomfortable’ Appearance During VP Debate: ‘Hard to Watch’

By New York Post. Viewers of Tuesday’s vice presidential debate mocked Democrat Tim Walz as “uncomfortable,” fast-talking and struggling to limit his exuberant outbursts common on the campaign trail.

“Walz is so uncomfortable it’s hard to watch,” former “The View” host Meghan McCain posted on X.

Ex-Rolling Stone editor-in-chief Noah Schachtman described the Minnesota governor as “talking like he’s listing the side effects of a heart drug.”

“I’ve never seen a national candidate look as nervous as Tim Walz when he’s not speaking,” noted National Review editor in chief Rich Lowry.

“Walz looks rusty and nervous,” offered Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin. “Maybe he should have done some press interviews to better prepare.” (Read more from “Tim Walz Roasted for ‘Uncomfortable’ Appearance During VP Debate: ‘Hard to Watch’” HERE)

200+ Retired Generals, Admirals Endorse Trump for President

More than 200 retired U.S. generals and admirals signed a letter endorsing former President Donald Trump for president this week.

Flag Officers 4 America posted the letter on Monday from the retired military leaders in which they warned about the dangers of not electing Trump.

“It can be argued easily this is the most important election since our Nation was founded,” they said. “We are at a historic crossroad where we must either choose to stand for our Constitution and its underlying traditional values which have made America great, or we continue down the path the current administration’s top leadership is taking into the deadly abyss of socialism and authoritarian cultural Marxism.”

They said that the Democrat Party has actively worked to divide Americans into conflicting groups, known as intersectionality, even as foreign enemies have stoked anti-American and anti-Semitic extremism on college campuses.

They also warned that assessments on the threat environment that the U.S. faces, including from foreign adversaries, is so high that the country could easily get drawn into a war with a near-peer adversary and could lose.
