Disgraced BLM co-founder admits she used $6 million mansion for parties

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors denied intentional wrongdoing in an interview with the Associated Press regarding a litany of allegations of personally benefiting off the group's donations.

The Associated Press interview featured Cullors addressing a New York Magazine expose last month that detailed how the Black Lives Matter leader personally benefited from donations.

Cullors addressed the $6 million Los Angeles mansion the group bought in early 2021 saying, "We really wanted to make sure that the global network foundation had an asset that wasn't just financial resources, and we understood that not many black-led organizations have property. They don't own their property."

However, that statement came after admissions from the former BLM leader that she did use the space for personal parties on at least two occasions. Cullors "hosted her son's birthday party and a gathering to celebrate President Biden's inauguration at the six-bedroom property early last year," The New York Post reports

In the interview, Cullors responded to the allegations that her family members were hired to work on the mansion property. Her mother got a cleaning job, while her brother became head of security, and Patrisse justified that by saying they had "skill sets" the organization was looking for.

Members of what has been described as a "family-owned transgender pornography production company" have been sentenced in connection to the sexual abuse of one of the member's children.

One of these members, Marina Volz, a biological male who identifies as a woman, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for forcing "her" 7-year-old daughter to participate in sexual acts, Anna Slatz reported for Reduxx.

Volz, born Matthew, was arrested back in 2019 after the New Jersey Department of Child Protection became aware that Volz was creating pornography in a home where a child lives.

Following the execution of a search warrant, authorities found that the child in question had likely been exposed to sexually explicit material.

The U.S. is acknowledging the large-scale and violent treatment of Indigenous students at more than 400 Indian boarding schools run by the federal government between 1819 and 1969, according to a report released by the Department of Interior on Wednesday.

Over 500 American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children's deaths occurred at 19 of the federal Indian boarding schools, according to the report. In total, 53 marked and unmarked burial sites were identified at these school facilities nationwide. The investigation is ongoing, and the department said it expects "the approximate number of Indian children who died at Federal Indian boarding schools to be in the thousands or tens of thousands."

Beginning in the early 19th century in the U.S., Indigenous children were "selected" from reservation schools and moved away from their families to attend the government-chartered schools, which were often subcontracted to Presbyterian, Catholic and Episcopalian religious organizations to operate, the report said.

Woke racism: Woke female basketball star insulted Nigerian team in Australia - told them to 'go back to your Third World country'

Controversial basketball player Liz Cambage has been accused of verbally abusing members of the Nigerian national team by her former captain for Australia.

Jenna O'Hea captained Team Australia at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, during the build-up to which Cambage had complained that there were too many white players in the Australian Olympic team photo while threatening to boycott the athletics spectacle.

Appearing on ABC Sport Down Under as the WNBA season kicked off in the US last weekend, however, O'Hea was asked whether it was true that Cambage had ignited a brawl by telling her Nigerian rivals to "go back to your Third World country" in a Tokyo 2020 warm-up game in Las Vegas.

"That is all 100% correct," O'Hea confirmed, with Cambage, who eventually withdrew from the Olympics citing mental health struggles and now plays for the Los Angeles Sparks, indirectly responding to the allegations.

"The truth will always come to light, and it ain't even dawn yet," tweeted Cambage.

But some figures such as Andrew Bogut, who has a long-running social media dispute with Cambage, said that the star's "sledging" - as verbal sports provocation is known in Australia - was even worse than what has been reported.

Comment: Scratch the social justice veneer and you'll often find a self-entitled narcissist.

Ukraine's national nuclear power plant operator Energoatom has fired three employees of the Zaporozhye plant for taking part in an Immortal Regiment march during commemorations of the 77th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany on May 9.

The company announced the decision in its Telegram channel on Wednesday, adding that "the three former workers of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant can now make any other institution or organization happy with their presence."

Energoatom stated that while it honors the memory of those who defeated Nazism with "infinite respect" it considers any joint celebrations with "those who are killing Ukrainians today" to be "unacceptable."

Goodwin, 23, died in March of 2021 of a fatal overdose of the powerful opioid fentanyl and xylazine, an animal tranquilizer that is making its way into the illicit drug supply. According to provisional data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday, May 11, 2022, more than 107,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2021, setting another tragic record in the nation’s escalating overdose epidemic.
More than 107,000 Americans died of drug overdoses last year, setting another tragic record in the nation's escalating overdose epidemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated Wednesday.

The provisional 2021 total translates to roughly one U.S. overdose death every 5 minutes. It marked a 15% increase from the previous record, set the year before. The CDC reviews death certificates and then makes an estimate to account for delayed and incomplete reporting.

Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, called the latest numbers "truly staggering."

The White House issued a statement calling the accelerating pace of overdose deaths "unacceptable" and promoting its recently announced national drug control strategy. It calls for measures like connecting more people to treatment, disrupting drug trafficking and expanding access to the overdose-reversing medication naloxone.

Troops and armoured vehicles have been deployed across the city of Colombo and security officials given orders to shoot on sight anyone deemed to be participating in violence as anti-government protests continued to rock Sri Lanka.

The crisis turned volatile earlier this week after pro-government supporters began attacking a camp of peaceful demonstrators who had been protesting against the government and the devastating economic crisis that has engulfed the island of 22 million people.

As footage emerged on Wednesday of armoured military vehicles in Colombo and military checkpoints being set up across the country , fears grew that the path was being laid for a military takeover.

Comment: Sri Lanka is likely to be just the first of many casualties of the looming global economic crisis:

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said he does not believe there should be permanent bans on the platform, with limited exceptions, after Elon Musk said Tuesday he would reverse Twitter's ban of former President Trump following the completion of his acquisition.

Dan Primack, Axios business editor, tweeted on Tuesday:
Dorsey responded in his own tweet, writing:
"I do agree. There are exceptions (CSE, illegal behaviour, spam or network manipulation, etc), but generally permanent bans are a failure of ours and don't work, which I wrote about here after the event (and called for a resilient social media protocol)."

A big-shot Hollywood lawyer reportedly paid off Hunter Biden's delinquent taxes — which a source told The Post amounted to more than $2 million — as President Biden's notoriously troubled son awaits the results of a Delaware grand jury's investigation into his personal finances.

Kevin Morris, an entertainment attorney and novelist who earned a fortune representing the co-creators of South Park and won a Tony Award as the co-producer of The Book of Mormon, footed Hunter Biden's overdue taxes totaling over $2 million — more than twice what was previously reported, a source familiar with conversations between the two told The Post.

Morris, whom Hunter Biden's friends call his latest "sugar brother," has also been funding the 52-year-old's lifestyle in Los Angeles — including his rent and living expenses, the source said.

The attorney has also been advising the president's son on how to structure his art sales, according to the source.

Josh Hawley moves to strip Disney of special copyright protections under 'Mickey Mouse Protection Act'

Senator Josh Hawley has introduced legislation that would strip Disney of it's special long-term copyright protections that had been granted to the entertainment giant by Congress after the company took a stance against Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill.

According to Fox News, the "Copyright Clause Restoration Act of 2022" would cap copyrights granted to corporations by Congress to 56 years, and would retroactively implement this change on corporations, which would include Disney.

Hawley told Fox that "woke corporations" like Disney had raked in billions of dollars due to these special copyright protections. He said:
"The age of Republican handouts to Big Business is over. Thanks to special copyright protections from Congress, woke corporations like Disney have earned billions while increasingly pandering to woke activists. It's time to take away Disney's special privileges and open up a new era of creativity and innovation."
Hawley's office said that Congress had used the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act," which amended the Copyright Act of 1976 in 1998, to extend copyrights for corporations up to 120 years. The act, officially called the "Copyright Term Extension Act," increased the duration of copyrights by 20 years.

Comment: Disney and the US Congress live in fantasyland and that is no amusement park!
