New Rules

Finally;

Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was charged in a two-count federal indictment that alleges she obstructed official Department of Homeland Security removal proceedings and knowingly concealed the man from immigration authorities at a courthouse in April.

Dugan was found guilty of obstructing federal agents and not guilty of concealing an undocumented immigrant from arrest during the courthouse incident.

The jury reached the mixed verdict after deliberating for approximately six hours on Thursday, according to WISN.

Dugan, who pleaded not guilty, faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. The judge has not yet set a sentencing date.

Wisconsin Republicans threatened Friday to impeach embattled judge Hannah Dugan if she doesn’t resign immediately

Embrace Pallywood!

If you can find them: @elonmusk just turned on the location spotlight and the entire “Gaza resident” influencer industry & fake IDF soldier industry just imploded.

Turns out the “eyewitness in Rafah living under bombardment” has been live-tweeting from a comfy flat in Islamabad while the only thing exploding is his mum’s pressure cooker.

The “Khan Younis nurse who hasn’t slept in 400 days” is apparently posting between shifts at a call centre in Lahore. Babe, the only IV drip you’ve seen is the chai one.

Congratulations to the “Gaza dad of six hiding in a tent” who’s been rage-sobbing for donations from a rooftop in Dhaka with better Wi-Fi than most of London. Your ‘link in bio’ days are over.

Shout-out to the “Deir al-Balah poet writing by candlelight” who’s actually in Chelyabinsk, Russia, typing manifestos next to a radiator that’s warmer than the entire sob story.

“…a sweeping criminal enterprise that envelopes both the NBA and La Cosa Nostra”

Fox News;

Kash Patel names multiple high-profile NBA arrests in an alleged illegal gambling ring that spanned years.

More than 30 people were arrested in the case — including current and former NBA stars and suspected members of the American branch of the Sicilian Mafia, La Cosa Nostra.

Patel says the FBI “entered and executed justice” against the crime families including the Bonanno crime family, Gambino crime family, Genovese crime family and Lucchese crime family.

Transcript here.

“I’ll just highlight some of the some of the details in the case and the FBI work, and then you’ll hear from the others. But as you now know, individuals such as Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones and Terry Rozier were taken into custody today, former, current NBA players and coaches. What you don’t know is that this is an illegal gambling operation and sports rigging operation that spanned the course of years. The FBI led a coordinated takedown across 11 states to arrest over 30 individuals today responsible for this case, which is very much ongoing. Not only did we crack into the fraud that these perpetrators committed on the grand stage of the NBA, but we also entered and executed a system of justice against La Cosa Nostra to include the Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese crime families. And you’ll hear more about those details today.”

John Bolton Indicted

John Bolton indicted by a federal grand jury on 18 counts under the Espionage Act.

The indictment in Greenbelt, Md., federal court alleges that Bolton transmitted classified national security documents through a personal AOL email account and knowingly sent secret materials to outside contacts while serving in the first Trump administration.

Prosecutors allege that Bolton, 76, used email and various messaging apps to send documents classified as high as “top secret” that revealed intelligence about future US attacks, foreign adversaries and international relations.

The former US ambassador to the United Nations also kept diary-like notes of his daily activities and assessments, more than 1,000 pages of which he shared with two relatives — believed to be his wife and daughter — who did not have security clearances and were not authorized to see the information Bolton shared. […]

Federal agents searched Bolton’s Maryland home and Washington, DC, office on Aug. 22 in connection with the long-running investigation, which FBI sources told The Post was mysteriously “shelved” during the administration of Trump’s predecessor, former President Joe Biden.

During those searches, investigators retrieved documents related to weapons of mass destruction, the US mission to the United Nations, strategic government communications and secret travel memos, according to court records.

Even if Bolton had no intention of releasing the information, he could be held liable if sensitive documents were left lying around where others could get to it — a legal provision that applies to his personal email account as well.

“They are very difficult cases to defend against because it is in essence a simple analysis! Is the document classified? It in your possession? Did you purposefully possess the document in question?”

You be the judge.

Sean Davis: John Bolton is in deep trouble.

Sorry, Jimmy.

These are the new rules.

Eye for an eye, clown for a clown.

Update: Holy Hell.

Good Riddance

One down, one to go.

“For more than 20 years under their ownership, Ben & Jerry’s stood up and spoke out in support of peace, justice and human rights, not as abstract concepts, but in relation to real events happening in our world,” he wrote. “That independence existed in no small part because of the unique merger agreement Ben and I negotiated with Unilever, one that enshrined our social mission and values in the company’s governance structure in perpetuity. It’s profoundly disappointing to come to the conclusion that that independence, the very basis of our sale to Unilever, is gone.”

“Rest assured that the @StateDept has revoked his visa”

Those were the old rules, “Bobby”. Please review the new rules.

The Trump-Rubio U.S. State Department revoked the visa of a punk rapper who viciously and gleefully mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a show.

A clip of Bobby Vylan, aka Pascal Robinson-Foster, the frontman for the English punk rap duo also called Bob Vylan, sparked outrage when he ghoulishly joked and danced on stage after Kirk’s assassination. […]

Landau had already warned visa holders soon after the assassination, “In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country. I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action. Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the @StateDept can protect the American people.”

This is hardly the first time the Bob Vylan duo, which just lost it next gig in the Netherlands over the shocking glorification of violence, has endorsed terrorism…

A brief history of Cancel Culture:

Readers may wish to ponder whether the sins mentioned above – expressing doubts about rioting, or teaching Chinese pronunciation to students of Chinese – exist on the same level of inaptness as, say, a public-school teacher showing ten-year-olds shockingly graphic video of a man being shot in the neck, and killed, in front of his family, and showing that footage repeatedly, “numerous times,” while hectoring those same ten-year-olds on the merits of so-called “anti-fascism.”
