Rapper and actor Ice Cube has exited a movie for which he was supposed to be paid $9 million after refusing requests to get the Covid-19 vaccine.

Ice Cube has left the ironically titled 'Oh Hell No' Sony comedy, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter. Cube, known for films like 'Friday' and songs such as 'It Was a Good Day', was set to co-star in the feature with comedic actor Jack Black.

The production was set to kick off in December in Hawaii. Cube, whose real name is O'Shea Jackson, previously joined numerous other celebrities during the coronavirus pandemic and encouraged mask-wearing, even donating thousands of face coverings to an Oklahoma college. He also sold t-shirts during the pandemic encouraging masking and raising funds for healthcare workers.

Comment: When he and other celebrities encouraged mask-wearing, even donated thousands of face coverings when the Corona circus started, nobody said anything about him and he was a "responsible" person back then.

But when he publicly refused the vaccine the same brainwashed celebrities and his colleagues were among the first to attack him.
Ice Cube is one of the few celebrities that we know about that has refused the Covid vaccine.

Another Metropolitan Police officer is in prison facing a rape charge

scotland yard

PC Adam Zaman, 28, who is based on the East Area Command Unit, was charged by the City of London Police.
A Metropolitan Police officer has appeared in court charged with rape.

PC Adam Zaman appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 27 October before district judge Snow.

Zaman was represented by Ricky Blennerhassett. He is accused of raping a woman on Sunday 24 October at the Andaz Hotel in Liverpool Street, central London.

Not an isolated incident

The charges against Zaman are doubly shocking, coming as they do after the brutal abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard. Serving Metropolitan police officer Wayne Couzens used his authority as a police officer to arrest, handcuff and ultimately kill Everard. On 30 September, Couzens was sentenced to life in prison.

Ex-Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, expected to be arrested next week.
Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo was charged Thursday with groping a former aide in Albany's Executive Mansion — a crime that could send him to jail for a year if he's convicted.

A misdemeanor criminal complaint filed in Albany City Court alleges that Cuomo, 63,
"did intentionally, and for no legitimate purpose, forcibly place his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim ... and onto her intimate body part. Specifically, the victims [sic] left breast for the purposes of degrading and satisfying his sexual desire."
The incident allegedly took place on the afternoon of Dec. 7 on the second floor of the Executive Mansion, the governor's official residence.

The name of the alleged victim was redacted from the complaint, but a lawyer representing former Cuomo aide Brittany Commisso, 33, acknowledged it's her. The complaint charges Cuomo with forcible touching, which carries a maximum sentence of one year in jail.

The alleged evidence against him includes: a text message from Cuomo's cellphone, state police aviation records for Dec. 7 and news reports of a press conference that day, state police BlackBerry PIN messages, swipe card records from the state Capitol, and Commisso's testimony to the Attorney General's Office.

Loudoun County sheriff's office rejected school superintendent's insane plan to weaponize police against parents

Loudon County Sheriff Mike Chapman
The Loudon County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) refused to comply with Superintendent Scott Ziegler's request to weaponize law enforcement against parents who wanted to voice their concerns with Loudoun County Public Schools' behavior at school board meetings, documents obtained by Fox News indicate.

Ziegler, who denied there was any record of an assault ever occurring in an LCPS bathroom, sent an email on August 6 to the LCSO asking for a "five-person Quick Reaction Force (QRF)," multiple undercover deputies, and even a special operations team on standby for the district to utilize for school board meetings.

Fox News reported that, according to Sheriff Mike Chapman, there were already security measures in places including "10 armed security personnel and magnetometers for people entering the building."

Sheriff Mike Chapman denied Ziegler's "extraordinary" request and said that the school district was asking for more than was necessary. He replied:
"[Y]our request is extraordinary and would likely constitute LCSO's commitment of a minimum of approximately 65 sworn deputies. Despite this, you fail to provide any justification for such a manpower intensive request."
Chapman told Fox News that he bolded the words "extraordinary" and "any justification" in his original email for emphasis.

Ohio school board head, who penned controversial race and equity resolution, resigns before being ousted by state senators

Former Ohio State Board of Education president Laura Kohler
The head of the Ohio Board of Education has resigned her position just before being voted out by the state Senate. Last year she drafted a resolution that became a flashpoint for a war over how race issues are taught at schools.

Laura Kohler announced her Friday resignation, saying she didn't have a way to keep her position and serve her full term. Another board member, Eric Poklar, is expected to be removed from his office by state senators in a vote later in the day. Both officials imperiled their positions over their support of a controversial resolution on race and equity in education, which critics said was pushing the so-called critical race theory (CRT) on public schools.

The three-page Resolution 20 was passed by the board weeks after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and advised the state education system to fight against racial inequality in various ways. Among other things, it provided for implicit bias training for Ohio Department of Education employees and contractors. That part was met with a strong pushback due to perceived CRT undertones behind the provision.

The CRT framework states that racism in the US is ingrained in certain institutions and benefits all white people. Those who don't hold racist views themselves should still be taught to see their privileges and change their behavior accordingly, the reasoning goes. Opponents say this viewpoint is racist itself and accuse CRT proponents of trying to change the public education system to indoctrinate children in accordance with its tenets under the guise of fighting racism and inequality.

A Wisconsin sheriff claims to have found proof of election fraud in one of the most unusual places: a nursing home.

The Sheriff's Office of Racine County held a press conference on Thursday to reveal a deceased resident at a nursing home voted absentee in the 2020 election. The Ridgewood Care Facility resident, named Shirley, died on Oct. 9, 2020, a month before the election was held. Sgt. Michael Luell said:
"Shirley was on severe cognitive decline, physically she was on decline, and to some degree, she was giving up on life, unfortunately, in her last days. She didn't want to keep on current events. She didn't watch TV, didn't read, and was just at a low point before she passed."
The office investigated the issue further and found the nursing home had an unusual surge in votes from residents during the 2020 election. Of the 42 families with members in Ridgewood Care Facility, eight said their relatives did not have the cognitive ability to vote but allegedly still had ballots cast in their names.

Majid Khan, who has admitted terrorist offences, says: ‘The more I cooperated and told them, the more I was tortured.’
For the first time, a Guantánamo Bay prisoner who went through the brutal US government interrogation program after the 9/11 attacks has described it openly in court, saying he was left terrified and hallucinating from techniques that the CIA long sought to keep secret.

Majid Khan, a former resident of the Baltimore suburbs who became an al-Qaida courier, told jurors considering his sentence for war crimes that he was subjected to days of painful abuse in the clandestine CIA facilities known as "black sites" as interrogators pressed him for information.

It was the first time any of the so-called high-value detainees held at the US base in Cuba have been able to testify about what the US has euphemistically called "enhanced interrogation" but has been widely condemned as torture. "I thought I was going to die," he said.

October 27, 2021: Julian Assange briefly appeared at his court hearing via videolink. Observers said he appeared tired & heavily medicated, often with head in his hands.
Founder of WikiLeaks Julian Assange, who is now awaiting trial in the British maximum security prison in Belmarsh, has lost a lot of weight and looks unhealthy, Assange's fiancée, Stella Moris, told Sputnik on Monday.

"I saw him in Belmarsh prison on Saturday morning, and he looked very unwell. He has lost a lot of weight. Even though I've seen him regularly, this time he was wearing a T-shirt and I could see how thin his arm was. I was very concerned," Moris said.

At the same time, she noted that Assange is a very strong-willed person and has family that visits and comforts him. He also draws extra strength from the public support he gets, Moris added.
