Top Trump Aide Learns Fate After Drink-Fueled Stadium Fight

The Trump administration’s newly added press adviser was caught on camera causing a commotion at an NBA game before being escorted out to boos.

Britt McHenry, the former ESPN reporter-turned-press-adviser at the State Department, can be seen arguing with an unidentified fan in footage from the Washington Wizards-Milwaukee Bucks game on Wednesday night.

McHenry, 40, attended the game at Washington, D.C.’s Capital One Arena seemingly with a male friend, according to Page Six.

The dispute reportedly erupted after a group of men behind McHenry began heckling Bucks player Kyle Kuzma and disparaging his fiancee, model Winnie Harlow.

A source told Page Six that McHenry, who had been drinking, turned around to tell the heckler to “ease up,” kicking off a verbal dispute. (Read more from “Top Trump Aide Learns Fate After Drink-Fueled Stadium Fight” HERE)

Mom Dies Trying to Save Her Children Who were Swept Away Snorkeling in Bahamas on Cruise Stop

A doting mother drowned while desperately trying to rescue her two children who were swept away by a strong current while snorkeling in the Bahamas, according to a report.

The 36-year-old unidentified British woman was on a snorkeling expedition with her husband and two sons south of the island of Bimini when the tragedy occurred on Tuesday, The Tribune reported.

The children were washed up by a strong current — so the mom rushed to save them, but was swept away herself, according to the outlet.

Rescuers pulled her from the water and performed CPR at a ferry dock, but the woman died at the hospital, the spokesperson said.

Linty Stuart, the owner of L&A Water Taxi, captained the boat that saved the boys and pulled the hero mom out of the water, according to the ZNS Network. (Read more from “Mom Dies Trying to Save Her Children Who were Swept Away Snorkeling in Bahamas on Cruise Stop” HERE)

Top Dem Breaks Ranks With Shock Senate Endorsement

Pete Buttigieg has made a shock endorsement in the Montana Senate race.

The former transportation secretary, 44, broke ranks with the Democratic Party to endorse independent candidate Seth Bodnar over Democratic nominee Alani Bankhead.

“The best leaders I’ve served with, in uniform and in government, care more about getting the job done than about who gets the credit, and Seth is one of them,” Buttigieg said in a statement first shared with ABC News. “Seth and I don’t agree on everything, but he has spent his adult life serving this country and the next generation… and he’ll bring that same character to the Senate on behalf of all Montanans.”

“Montana deserves a senator who will fight corruption in Washington, defend reproductive freedom, and work across the aisle to lower costs and actually get things done,” he added. “Seth Bodnar will be that Senator.” (Read more from “Top Dem Breaks Ranks With Shock Senate Endorsement” HERE)

The Deep State Is Leaking Trump’s Most Sensitive Undercover Operations To The Washington Post

Anonymous sources have exposed sensitive details of the Trump administration’s reported plans to establish a clandestine espionage program targeting China to legacy media, potentially revealing American intelligence strategies to foreign adversaries.

The Pentagon is reportedly developing a deep-cover intelligence operation that would embed American operatives within private-sector businesses to gather intelligence on China and other foreign adversaries, according to The Washington Post. Six individuals familiar with the initiative disclosed details about its leadership, capabilities and internal planning despite the program’s sensitive nature and the Pentagon’s denial of its existence. . .

The alleged new “non-official cover officer” program is being headed by Tom Rakusan. Rakusan’s background includes a 39-year career in the CIA in which he held a leadership position during the first Trump administration. Following his 2021 retirement, he worked at a private equity firm co-founded by now Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg, the Washington Post alleges. He has now returned to the Pentagon as Senior Adviser to Feinberg, according to his LinkedIn page.

Several of the leakers appear to be former colleagues with personal grudges against Rakusan. One, a White House official during Trump’s first term, referred to him as a “pipe swinger.”

“Rakusan just wants to build his own CIA down in the Pentagon,” an anonymous former CIA official told The Washington Post. (Read more from “The Deep State Is Leaking Trump’s Most Sensitive Undercover Operations To The Washington Post” HERE)

Lindsey Graham Paid Off 3 Male Escorts, Including One Who Was 17 at the Time — Explosive Documentary Alleges

A explosive documentary put out by the Young Turks and Swamp Watch Studios alleges that the late senator Lindsey Graham paid off several male escorts for sex, one of whom was 17 at the time.

“My name is Kelvin, and I had sex with Lindsey Graham when I was 17,” one of the escorts says in the clip from The CLOSETocracy, shared by The Young Turks on Thursday.

The film features “firsthand accounts from three men who allege paid sexual encounters with the late Sen. Lindsey Graham” and “examines the contrast between his alleged private conduct and his longstanding political opposition to LGBTQ+ rights,” according to a press release put out by The Young Turks.

“These are serious claims that deserve public scrutiny,” Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur said in the statement. TYT believes in giving audiences access to important stories and the opportunity to examine the reporting for themselves. We’re making this documentary available so viewers can hear these accounts firsthand.”

Kelvin said he turned to escort work partly because his family was so poor that he couldn’t even afford clothes.

Boston Dad Convicted of Sexually Abusing Teen Girl on Flight While Traveling with Wife and 4 Kids

A Boston dad has been convicted of repeatedly fondling a teen girl aboard a JetBlue flight.

Jonathan Alan Lefman, 48, was found guilty after a three-day jury trial of sexually abusing a 17-year-old girl seated in front of him on a Boston-bound flight from Puerto Rico on Aug. 30, 2024, the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts announced on Thursday.

Lefman — who was on the plane with his wife and four kids — wedged his hand between the back and bottom of the seat in front of him to touch the girl’s buttocks without her permission, according to prosecutors.

The teen girl saw the creep dad’s reflection leaning between the seats in the seatback monitor in front of her, and was able to take a picture of his fingers protruding between the back and bottom of her seat, officials said.

Ilhan Omar isn’t ‘Squad’ Rep’s Real Name as Feds’ Bombshell Docs give Huge Clue She did Marry Brother

The “real” name of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has been revealed in a federal court filing with an identical surname to that of her ex-husband — and rumored brother, The Post has learned.

Prosecutors referred to the Minnesota Democrat as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar,” in a Wednesday filing in DC federal court, which officials and legal experts said was indicative of the evidence compiled so far in an immigration fraud investigation into the “Squad” rep.

A source familiar with the investigation confirmed that Omar is not the congresswoman’s “real” last name, meaning she was born with the last name of Elmi, just like her alleged brother-husband. It’s unclear what charges could result from her purported use of an alias, which was first reported by Fox News.

Attorney General Todd Blanche also told The Post Thursday, “I don’t think [Assistant United States Attorneys] would make up names,” when asked about using the surname of her former spouse, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who has been rumored to be a blood relation for more than a decade.

“Evidence that’s collected is used in motions,” Blanche said.

Previously, prosecutors and legal experts indicated that the Department of Justice was seeking to bring an indictment alleging immigration fraud that would fall within a 10-year statute of limitations.

Surgeon Claims ‘Botched’ Mar-a-Lago Face is Ultimate Status Symbol Despite Looking ‘Alien’

. . .The past few weeks the internet has bursted into conversation and commentary of the physical appearances of Susan Dell and Babera Thornhill. People have been slamming the appearance of the wife of Dell Technologies founder, 68, and the Ambassador-at-Large to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, 78, calling them “botched” and “alien.” They’re also been a host of memes and Halloween-theme content that has emerged as well.

Dell and Thornhill’s appearances, which compared to previous photos of them, indicate that work has been done on their faces. It has also has called into discussion the plastic surgery aesthetic among Republican and conservative women which has been dubbed the Mar-a-Lago face. Examples of the Mar-a-Lago face are Kimberly Guilofyle, Karoline Leavitt and Laura Loomer. The face can also apply to men as some people have named Matt Gaetz, as an example. . .

Dr. Terry Dubrow, plastic surgeon and TV personality known for being on reality shows like The Swan and Botched, spoke to Vanity Fair about the trend and the recent discussion involving the two philanthropists.

“It’s very fun, particularly when you’re on one political side or another, to aim your criticism weapon at them and say, ‘Oh, look how bad their plastic surgery is,'” the plastic surgeon told the outlet. “But it isn’t bad. From a technical point of view, it’s extraordinarily successful…. The plastic surgery is super well executed.”

Dubrow, who has his own private practice in California, said this particular type of noticeable aesthetic is the ultimate status symbol in certain “East Coast” circles. (Read more from “Surgeon Claims ‘Botched’ Mar-a-Lago Face is Ultimate Status Symbol Despite Looking ‘Alien’” HERE)

Ilhan Omar Gives Head-Scratching Response when Asked if She’s Related to Ex-Husband in First Interview Since DC Raid

By New York Post. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Wednesday called allegations that she married her brother “insane” – but didn’t entirely close the door to the possibility of being related to her ex-husband.

“Not to my knowledge,” Omar responded, when asked by MS NOW’s Chris Hayes if there was any “weird kernel of truth” to the claim that she wed her brother.

The decade-old allegations that Omar and her ex, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, got hitched in a failed effort to get him a green card originated on a “Somali blog,” and spread when “right-wing conspiracy theorists” latched onto it, Omar explained in her first interview since federal agents raided her Washington, DC, home last week.

“Somebody put in there that, you know, he had to have been my brother or something to that effect,” the Minnesota Democrat said.

According to Omar, bloggers “went and like found random people who are like .. ‘She introduced him to us and said he was her brother,’ which is, you know, insane.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar Gives Head-Scratching Response when Asked if She’s Related to Ex-Husband in First Interview Since DC Raid” HERE)

Ilhan Omar finally emerges after DC raid with video pleading for cash to fight Trump

By Fox News. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., re-emerged Tuesday night for the first time following a raid on her Washington, D.C., residence by posting a campaign video to her official social media channels asking supporters for more money.

“Hi everyone, Ilhan here,” Omar said in a selfie video showing her riding in the back seat of a vehicle and wearing a blue campaign shirt. “I just wanted to say thank you so much for the support, to everyone who sent a note of support, for everyone who sent $5, $10, $20.”

Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., was raided by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) last Monday in connection to an investigation into potential immigration fraud. Authorities are probing whether Omar or her father lied on paperwork that helped her gain citizenship. Border czar Tom Homan has said that if the allegations are proven, Omar could be denaturalized.

She closed her video by pleading for more cash. “Please continue to support us. It’s going to be a very expensive and challenging time. So we appreciate whether you’re able to send $5, $10, $20. Thank you.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar finally emerges after DC raid with video pleading for cash to fight Trump” HERE)

Lindsay Clancy’s Lawyer Suffers Major Blow in Fight to Investigate Holdout Juror

The push by Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer to investigate the lone holdout juror who forced a mistrial in her triple-murder case has been stopped in its tracks by the judge.

Clancy’s defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, had asked for an evidentiary hearing at an upcoming Nov. 2 court date to call witnesses to speak about accusations that Michael P. Desronvil lied on his jury questionnaire and used his cellphone during deliberations.

However, Judge William F. Sullivan wasn’t having it, and ruled Wednesday that the mistrial must only be evaluated based on the circumstances known at the time — not allegations after the mistrial.

Additionally, Sullivan ruled that digging further into the juror’s reasoning or the jury’s internal deliberations would be inappropriate under state law.

The defense was trying to prove juror misconduct to argue that the mistrial wasn’t a “manifest necessity,” a key legal avenue to try to stop prosecutors from retrying Clancy under double jeopardy protections.

While the judge blocked the request to call live witnesses or examine the holdout juror, Clancy’s motion to dismiss the charges remains pending and will be argued in court on Nov. 2. (Read more from “Lindsay Clancy’s Lawyer Suffers Major Blow in Fight to Investigate Holdout Juror” HERE)
