Scamfluencers is a weekly podcast from Wondery that takes you along the twists and turns of the most infamous scams of all time, the impact on victims, and what's left once the facade falls away.Scamfluencers recently dove into the story of Richard Bandler, the godfather of modern mental manipulation. He revolutionized the world of self-help, all thanks to an approach he developed called Neuro-Linguistic Programming. But, NLP methods have been criticized for being dangerous in the wrong hands and inspiring some of the most toxic and criminal self-help movements of the last two decades. Throw in Richard's dark past as a cocaine addict and murder suspect, and you can't help but wonder what his true intentions were.This is just a preview of Scamfluencers.

At a time when we're debating where policing is going, we're going to tell you where the police came from. Guided by Peabody award-winning host Chenjerai Kumanyika, Empire City will provide the first accessible narrative history of the American police and its place in popular culture. Who are the police? And why were police departments created in the first place? To find answers, we're going to tell the origin story of the largest police force in the world: The NYPD. We begin in the late 1800's at a moment when the entire police force was on trial. It's the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the NYPD, and it all plays out like a high stakes courtroom drama. What follows is the action-packed account of how the NYPD got to this point and what happened next. It involves Black abolitionists fighting slave patrols in the courts of Gotham; two rival police forces duking it out for power at City Hall; the origins of the true crime genre; and how the NYPD spread their tactics worldwide.Listen to Empire City wherever you get your podcasts: Wondery.fm/Empire_City.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Remember this shocking story from the 2016 election? The Trump campaign gutted Ukraine aid in the official RNC platform. Today this is mainstream for the GOP, with McConnell folding on Ukraine aid. This is catastrophic for the US and the world.  The recent transformation of the GOP into the Party of Putin began gradually, with only a few in Congress, like former Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who the Kremlin considered an asset, according to the FBI. In 2018, current House Speaker Mike Johnson took tens of thousands of dollars in dark money campaign donations linked to a Russian oligarch close to Putin who was part of the larger Kremlin operation exposed in the Mueller Report. The oligarch is Konstantin Nikolaev, who bankrolled Kremlin spy/GOP honeypot Maria Butina, who was arrested as part of the Mueller investigation, after pretending to be in love with NRA/GOP operative Paul Erickson. After Mike Johnson got caught taking donations linked to Nikolaev and other Russians (Oops!), he gave it back. But it was part of a wider operation used by the Russians in countries around the world to entrench their power in, known as “the golden handcuffs.”  Johnson blames other extremists in his party, like concentration camp guard Marjorie Taylor Greene, for "slowing down" Ukraine aid. They're not slowing down aid; they're blocking it, to help their financial backers in the Kremlin win.  Johnson and Trump are part of the Kremlin's long game. They develop their assets, then spread their influence deeper and deeper. This began with a few fringe people, like Rohrabacher. Now it's mainstream. This is state capture. What happens if we lose our country? No place is safe. If you think things are bad now, the entire world will be forced to live under the Kremlin's mafia state: violence and terror win, deciding everything. No more laws and elections. Many Republicans watched in shock as the Kremlin hijacked their party. But it was Republican operations, like Citizens United, that helped Russian dark money entrench the Kremlin's influence in the United States. More Americans must wake up that the loss of Ukraine is also the loss of our democracy. What's happening in Ukraine and the U,S. is an ongoing crime of state capture. The KGB-style operation started decades ago with Trump as a Russian asset. Where will we be if we and our institutions don't stop it?  Call your rep in Congress today to demand aid to Ukraine (202) 224-3121!  This week's bonus episode includes Andrea sharing her own stories of navigating the misogynistic labyrinth of Hollywood, and why, despite some big wins for women and representation (Yay Lily Gladstone and America Ferrera! Boo for no Fantasia nomination for The Color Purple!), why the Barbie Oscar snub matters. Olga Lautman, a Russian mafia expert and the co-host of the Kremlin Files podcast, continues her conversation with Andrea about what America will look like if Trump, and Putin, win the 2024 election.  *** Mark your calendars! Tristan Snell, the prosecutor who led New York State's case against Trump and Trump University and the author of "Taking Down Trump: 12 Rules for Prosecuting Donald Trump by Someone Who Did It Successfully," will join Andrea for a live-taping of Gaslit Nation for our community of listeners on February 12 at noon ET.

Exclusive: Two MPS charged with high treason in Ukraine; Hunter laptop was really data distributed by Giuliani and Bannon, and Mike Johnson's Russian benefactor is Putin's arms supplier. The impeachment proceedings against President Biden that are now ramping up in the House have an alarming origin story - a network of Russian spies. Over the last several years, Russian intelligence agencies like the GRU have been working diligently behind the scenes to craft a narrative about supposed Biden family corruption in Ukraine. Their goal? To damage Biden's presidency and tilt the scales toward a Trump return to power in 2024. Two Ukrainian members of parliament, Andrei Derkach and Oleksandr Dubinsky, were recently arrested on treason charges for running a multi-million dollar election interference campaign to spread allegations about the Bidens on Russia's behalf. Both men met with Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani in 2019 to push claims about Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings. Yet the GOP is still basing its impeachment push on the very same Russian-backed Hunter Biden narrative. They continue lying about "evidence" of Biden wrongdoing that does not actually exist. And it's working - polls find a majority of Americans now wrongly think Biden did something illegal. But here's the kicker: The so-called "laptop" full of Hunter Biden's emails is likely just a sophisticated hack of his iCloud account. Both Giuliani and Steve Bannon disseminated hacked data that intelligence experts believe originated from Russian intelligence to discredit the Bidens. In other words, impeachment is being fueled entirely by a years-long Russian spy plot. Yet Republicans continue perpetuating this propaganda operation because it serves their political interests, no matter the damage done to America's democracy. The man now pushing impeachment in the House, new Speaker Mike Johnson, has suspicious ties to Russia himself. Johnson accepted campaign donations from Russian oligarch Konstantin Nikolayev, who supplies weapons for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and previously handled exposed Russian spy Maria Butina in the U.S. Johnson took Russian money even while accusing Democrats of being soft on Russia. His former ally Liz Cheney labeled him "a collaborator" for his continued perpetuation of Trump's election lies after Jan. 6th. Now we know he's gotten in bed with Kremlin-connected Russians too. By pursuing impeachment based on Russian disinformation, Johnson is serving Putin's interests - not America's. He is undermining our democracy and aiding election interference yet again. The presence of this kind of Russian "collaborator" at the very top ranks of U.S. power is a threat unlike we've ever seen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

When Elon Musk posted a video of himself arriving at Twitter HQ carrying a white sink along with the message “let that sink in!” It marked the end of a dramatic takeover. Musk had gone from Twitter critic to “Chief Twit” in the space of just a few months but his arrival didn't put an end to questions about his motives. Musk had earned a reputation as a business maverick. From PayPal to Tesla to SpaceX, his name was synonymous with big, earth-shattering ideas. So, what did he want with a social media platform? And was this all really in the name of free speech...or was this all in the name of Elon Musk? From Wondery, the makers of WeCrashed and In God We Lust, comes the wild story of how the richest man alive took charge of the world's “digital public square.”Listen to Flipping The Bird: Wondery.fm/FTB_SASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this edition of Parallax Views, legendary journalist James Bamford, known for his books The Puzzle Palace and Body of Secrets that lifted the veil of secrecy around the National Security Agency (NSA) as well as his critical exploration of the Bush-era Iraq War/War on Terror A Pretext for War, joins us to discuss his latest book Spyfail: Foreign Spies, Moles, Saboteurs, and the Collapse of America's Counterintelligence. For those interested in the subject of spycraft and it's implications/consequences this is a wide-ranging and comprehensive conversation that is worth a listen. James and I delve into such subjects as the leak of U.S. cyberweapons by an entity known as The Shadow Brokers (TSB) and how it nearly had apocalyptic consequences, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israeli spying operations in the United States, the stealing of massive amounts of classified materials by former Booz Allen Hamilton contractor Hal Martin, Hollywood movie producer Arnon Milchan and Israeli nuclear smuggling, Russiagate and the Maria Butina affair, and, perhaps most explosively, the portions of Bamford's book dealing with alleged collusion between Israel's Netanyahu government and the Trump campaign during the 2016 election (read more about this specifically in Bamford's The Nation article "The Trump Campaign's Collusion With Israel").

Paul Erickson made headlines in 2017 when it was revealed that his Russian girlfriend, Maria Butina, could've been a spy who was using him to gain access to the highest levels of the Republican Party. Two years later, he was arrested for wire fraud and money laundering. But it seems like this may just be scratching the surface of Paul's life.

From January 8, 2019: The Russian government's recent arrest of American Paul Whelan and its charges against him have many politicians and pundits speculating about the possibility of an intended spy swap for Maria Butina. There's a lot going on here, but there's also a lot of misunderstanding about the history of spy swaps, what they are, and what they aren't.Earlier this week, David Priess sat down with his former CIA colleague John Sipher to talk about it all. They discussed the history of spy swaps, the current case involving Paul Whelan, and prospects for some kind of a release.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast.

This is a podcast we think you'll love. The Secret History of the Estonia is an eight-part documentary series investigating the mystery behind why a passenger ferry sank in the Baltic Sea in 1994 – going down in less than an hour, killing 852 people. This was Europe's worst peacetime shipping disaster since the Titanic, and many people remain convinced the truth behind the sinking has been covered-up. To this day the wreck lies on the seabed; the bodies were never recovered as the authorities declared it a burial site. Laws were introduced to make it illegal to dive to the wreck and attempts were even made to bury it in rubble. This has raised the question of whether there's something down there the authorities don't want found. Journalist Stephen Davis travelled to Sweden and Estonia for the series, to meet those at the centre of the story. Listeners will hear unbelievable eye-witness accounts from survivors of the sinking, heart-wrenching testimonies from victims' families, and detailed inside-information from investigators who've been working on the case for years. The investigation takes Stephen on a journey back to the Cold War, and to a world of secrets, spies and smuggling operations. Binge the entire season now, wherever you get your podcasts.

Happy Tuesday everyone, This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, July 26th, 2022. I just like getting straight into the news, so let’s hop into our first story shall we? https://thepostmillennial.com/female-shooter-stopped-by-police-at-dallas-airport-before-anyone-else-was-injured?utm_campaign=64487 Woman opens fire at Dallas airport before police shoot, detain her A 37-year old woman opened fire at the Love Field Airport in Dallas, Texas on Monday at 10:59am and was immediately stopped by a police officer who returned fire and neutralized the female shooter. Police Chief Eddie Garcia said in a statement that the woman "gets dropped off, goes inside" and heads towards the Southwest ticketing counters. She went into a restroom where she changed her clothing, "put on some kind of hoodie," and then when she walked out " produced a handgun and began firing about this point." A police officer was already in the area and saw the woman, who Garcia said started shooting at the ceiling. The officer shot the suspect and hit her in "the lower extremities." "She's taken into custody and is currently in Parkland Hospital. No other individuals were injured in this event, other than the suspect". Fox News reported that police did originally respond to an active shooter situation but Garcia said this is "not an active situation." Dallas Police told local news that they were called to an "officer assist" at the airport and that crowds and travelers have been removed from the building. "We want to make sure our community knows that there are no other passengers, family members or people in the airport that are victims," Garcia concluded. The Federal Aviation Administration had a ground stop in place at the airport which primarily serves Southwest Airlines, its website states. https://bongino.com/white-house-tries-to-change-widely-used-definition-of-recession-ahead-of-economic-report White House Tries to Change Most Commonly Used Definition of "Recession" Ahead of Upcoming Economic Report Ahead of second quarter gross domestic product (GDP) numbers being released this Thursday, the Biden administration is looking to stray from how recessions are usually defined. The U.S. economy has already suffered negative GDP growth in the first quarter of the year, meaning that the economy is already in recession if Thursdays numbers show negative growth. Ahead of their release, the Biden Administration posted an article to the White House blog answering the question "What is a recession?" where they veer from the traditional definition; "While some maintain that two consecutive quarters of falling real GDP constitute a recession, that is neither the official definition nor the way economists evaluate the state of the business cycle." Naturally, many are interpreting this seemingly out-of-nowhere blog post as being to soften the blow of negative growth numbers this Thursday. It's also possible that the White House is well aware that there will immediately be articles proclaiming a recession on Thursday if growth is negative, and this enables the so-called "fact checkers" to say "not so fast" and limit the spread of that narrative. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the blog post, and if its purpose was to hedge bad economic news. "Is the White House trying to change the common definition of a recession? Because next Thursday, the GDP numbers coming out are going to show that we’ve been in recession," the reporter asked. https://rumble.com/v1djxjp-is-the-white-house-trying-to-change-the-definition-of-a-recession.html - Play Video What a bunch of hogwash… Yes, they’re historic numbers, because our economy was HISTORICALLY shut down by our government… Folks, don’t let woke corporations deal with your payment processing.

Gretchen Whitmer Just Slashed Care For Pregnant Women From Michigan’s Budget Last week, Michigan’s Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed funding for maternity homes, adoption tax credits, and other budget items that assist pregnant women. While post-Dobbs, Whitmer and her fellow Democrats seek to conceal the party’s pro-abortion agenda by pushing state courts to institute the extreme abortion regime they demand, in striking from the budget any spending that has a semblance of supporting the choice of life, Whitmer exposes her party’s abortion-first position. Democrats do not want the people to decide abortion policy, however, because they know the populace does not support their party’s extreme abortion-on-demand position, which is why in Kansas, abortion activists pretend a complete abortion ban is on the ballot. Likewise, in Michigan, rather than debate abortion policy and push for legislation to implement the public’s preferences, Whitmer has instead turned to the state Supreme Court to institute an extreme abortion regime through the Michigan constitution, while she and her fellow Democrats sidestep debates over limits on abortions. In fact, in announcing that she had asked the Michigan Supreme Court to expedite her lawsuit seeking a declaration of a state constitutional right to abortion, Whitmer used nearly identical language to that spoken from the abortion lobby in Kansas. “While politicians in other states rush to ban abortion, even in instances of rape or incest, Michigan must remain a place where a woman’s ability to make her own medical decisions with her trusted health care provider is respected,” Whitmer said in a press release. What Whitmer won’t tell the public, though, and what she and her fellow Democrats don’t want Michiganders to know, is that they want an abortion regime that permits abortion on demand for any reason until the moment of birth, paid for by taxpayers. And that is precisely what will be installed on the populace if the Michigan Supreme Court finds a right to abortion in the state constitution. Further, by using the Michigan Supreme Court to achieve this end, rather than the legislative process, Democrats can avoid the extremist label. But while Whitmer’s rhetoric and her use of the judicial system to achieve her ends may mask Democrats’ intent, her line-item vetoes in last week’s 2022-2023 budget make clear where the party stands on abortion, even if she prefers the courts provide the bottom line: It is not about choice or helping women; it is about abortion first. Whitmer’s stark strike-out from the budget of funds designed to help women choose life or to aid women who have chosen life says it all. The budget items she struck went much beyond assistance to pregnancy resource centers, which since Dobbs have strangely been in Democrats’ crosshairs. Whitmer actually struck $4 million allocated for maternity homes that provide “safe housing and comprehensive support services without charge for pregnant women who are without a safe home and in need.” Whitmer’s line-item vetoes likewise exposed the revolting truth that Democrats prefer abortion to adoption. Here, the Democrat governor struck $2 million in tax credits to adoptive parents and $10 million designed to provide factual information to pregnant women about adoption as an alternative to abortion, including the birth mother’s ability to establish a pre-birth plan. No amount of political posturing can overcome the reality seen in the black lines Whitmer used to cross out care for women and their children. And hide as they might behind activist judges, that budget tells the world Whitmer and her fellow Democrats don’t value women, or choice, or health care. They value abortion. https://www.foxnews.com/us/ghislaine-maxwell-moved-cushy-florida-prison-offers-yoga-pilates Ghislaine Maxwell moved to cushy Florida prison that offers yoga and Pilates Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a cushy low-security federal prison in north Florida to serve out her 20-year sex trafficking sentence for procuring teen girls to be abused by her and late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The news comes after the arrest on back-to-back days of deported sex offenders. The chief reported his agents apprehended two more criminal aliens on back-to-back days in July. Brackettville Station agents arrested one of those, 61-year-old Jose Francisco Perdomo-Amador, a Honduran national, on July 12as he attempted to sneak past an interior checkpoint. During a records check, the agents discovered that a Dallas, Texas, court convicted the Honduran man in October 2017 for sexual assault. After being sentenced to a two-year prison term, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers deported him back to Honduras in 2021. The following day, Carrizo Springs Station agents arrested a Guatemalan migrant who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Texas with a group of four other migrants. During processing, agents conducted a background investigation and found that a court in Orange County, Florida, convicted the man, Henry Oroxco-Miranda, 42, for lewd and lascivious sexual battery upon the elderly/disabled. The court sentenced him to four years in state prison. ICE officers deported him in 2015. The sector accounted for 326,177 of the more than 1.6 million migrants apprehended along the U.S.-Mexico border this fiscal year. Build the wall!!!

The 100-meter hurdler romped to victory in 12.12 seconds to beat Kendra Harrison's 2016 world record by 0.08 seconds at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon Sunday. Johnson took exception to the times recorded in the stadium, in which 12 athletes of 24 in the semi-finals recorded their best ever times. The 54-year-old, who claimed four Olympic golds and eight World Championship golds in a stellar track career, took to Twitter after seeing how many athletes looked shocked at their own times. But he was immediately hit with a backlash, and fumed in response: 'The level of dumbassery coming across my feed right now is truly staggering! 'As a commentator my job is to comment. In questioning the times of 28 athletes (not 1 athlete) by wondering if the timing system malfunctioned. 'I was attacked, accused of racism, and of questioning the talent of an athlete I respect and predicted to win. Unacceptable. I move on.' Initially, the American had written: 'I don't believe 100h (100m hurdles) times are correct. 'World record broken by .08! 12 PBs (personal bests) set. 5 National records set. And Cindy Sember quote after her PB/NR (national record) 'I thought I was running slow!' All athletes looked shocked [sic]. 'Heat 2 we were first shown winning time of 12.53. Few seconds later it shows 12.43. Rounding down by .01 is normal. .10 is not.' Amusan became world champion in an even faster time later in the day at Hayward Field but the time did not count toward records due to a hefty tailwind. But fans on social media were not happy with Johnson for mentioning Amusan's world record, with one accusing him of 'black racism'. The Twitter user, calling himself Slim Daddy, wrote: 'Michael Johnson are you naturally this dumb or do you have to put in effort? 'Why don't you channel your energy to recovering from your stroke you Black racist! One Twitter user claimed Johnson - who now commentates for the BBC - might have been seeking revenge after USA were stripped of the 4x100m Olympic title in 2000 and Nigeria took gold instead. 'The US 4x400m team that had Michael Johnson was stripped of the Sydney 2000 Olympic gold medal because Antonio Pettigrew confessed that he doped during the competition,' the Tweet read. 'The Nigerian team was eventually awarded the gold medal. Do you understand his bitterness now?' Folks, we’re in an age now, where any simple statements, analysis, or facts, will be met with emotional responses like this… I used to want to pursue a career as a sportscaster, but, not in it’s current state I don’t… I do however, look forward to the time where we Christians rise up and conquer it for Jesus, by His will.

"She's taken into custody and is currently in Parkland Hospital. No other individuals were injured in this event, other than the suspect". Fox News reported that police did originally respond to an active shooter situation but Garcia said this is "not an active situation." Dallas Police told local news that they were called to an "officer assist" at the airport and that crowds and travelers have been removed from the building. "We want to make sure our community knows that there are no other passengers, family members or people in the airport that are victims," Garcia concluded. The Federal Aviation Administration had a ground stop in place at the airport which primarily serves Southwest Airlines, its website states. https://bongino.com/white-house-tries-to-change-widely-used-definition-of-recession-ahead-of-economic-report White House Tries to Change Most Commonly Used Definition of "Recession" Ahead of Upcoming Economic Report Ahead of second quarter gross domestic product (GDP) numbers being released this Thursday, the Biden administration is looking to stray from how recessions are usually defined. The U.S. economy has already suffered negative GDP growth in the first quarter of the year, meaning that the economy is already in recession if Thursdays numbers show negative growth. Ahead of their release, the Biden Administration posted an article to the White House blog answering the question "What is a recession?" where they veer from the traditional definition; "While some maintain that two consecutive quarters of falling real GDP constitute a recession, that is neither the official definition nor the way economists evaluate the state of the business cycle." Naturally, many are interpreting this seemingly out-of-nowhere blog post as being to soften the blow of negative growth numbers this Thursday. It's also possible that the White House is well aware that there will immediately be articles proclaiming a recession on Thursday if growth is negative, and this enables the so-called "fact checkers" to say "not so fast" and limit the spread of that narrative. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the blog post, and if its purpose was to hedge bad economic news. "Is the White House trying to change the common definition of a recession? Because next Thursday, the GDP numbers coming out are going to show that we’ve been in recession," the reporter asked. https://rumble.com/v1djxjp-is-the-white-house-trying-to-change-the-definition-of-a-recession.html - Play Video What a bunch of hogwash… Yes, they’re historic numbers, because our economy was HISTORICALLY shut down by our government… Folks, don’t let woke corporations deal with your payment processing.

Gretchen Whitmer Just Slashed Care For Pregnant Women From Michigan’s Budget Last week, Michigan’s Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed funding for maternity homes, adoption tax credits, and other budget items that assist pregnant women. While post-Dobbs, Whitmer and her fellow Democrats seek to conceal the party’s pro-abortion agenda by pushing state courts to institute the extreme abortion regime they demand, in striking from the budget any spending that has a semblance of supporting the choice of life, Whitmer exposes her party’s abortion-first position. Democrats do not want the people to decide abortion policy, however, because they know the populace does not support their party’s extreme abortion-on-demand position, which is why in Kansas, abortion activists pretend a complete abortion ban is on the ballot. Likewise, in Michigan, rather than debate abortion policy and push for legislation to implement the public’s preferences, Whitmer has instead turned to the state Supreme Court to institute an extreme abortion regime through the Michigan constitution, while she and her fellow Democrats sidestep debates over limits on abortions. In fact, in announcing that she had asked the Michigan Supreme Court to expedite her lawsuit seeking a declaration of a state constitutional right to abortion, Whitmer used nearly identical language to that spoken from the abortion lobby in Kansas. “While politicians in other states rush to ban abortion, even in instances of rape or incest, Michigan must remain a place where a woman’s ability to make her own medical decisions with her trusted health care provider is respected,” Whitmer said in a press release. What Whitmer won’t tell the public, though, and what she and her fellow Democrats don’t want Michiganders to know, is that they want an abortion regime that permits abortion on demand for any reason until the moment of birth, paid for by taxpayers. And that is precisely what will be installed on the populace if the Michigan Supreme Court finds a right to abortion in the state constitution. Further, by using the Michigan Supreme Court to achieve this end, rather than the legislative process, Democrats can avoid the extremist label. But while Whitmer’s rhetoric and her use of the judicial system to achieve her ends may mask Democrats’ intent, her line-item vetoes in last week’s 2022-2023 budget make clear where the party stands on abortion, even if she prefers the courts provide the bottom line: It is not about choice or helping women; it is about abortion first. Whitmer’s stark strike-out from the budget of funds designed to help women choose life or to aid women who have chosen life says it all. The budget items she struck went much beyond assistance to pregnancy resource centers, which since Dobbs have strangely been in Democrats’ crosshairs. Whitmer actually struck $4 million allocated for maternity homes that provide “safe housing and comprehensive support services without charge for pregnant women who are without a safe home and in need.” Whitmer’s line-item vetoes likewise exposed the revolting truth that Democrats prefer abortion to adoption. Here, the Democrat governor struck $2 million in tax credits to adoptive parents and $10 million designed to provide factual information to pregnant women about adoption as an alternative to abortion, including the birth mother’s ability to establish a pre-birth plan. No amount of political posturing can overcome the reality seen in the black lines Whitmer used to cross out care for women and their children. And hide as they might behind activist judges, that budget tells the world Whitmer and her fellow Democrats don’t value women, or choice, or health care. They value abortion. https://www.foxnews.com/us/ghislaine-maxwell-moved-cushy-florida-prison-offers-yoga-pilates Ghislaine Maxwell moved to cushy Florida prison that offers yoga and Pilates Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a cushy low-security federal prison in north Florida to serve out her 20-year sex trafficking sentence for procuring teen girls to be abused by her and late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The news comes after the arrest on back-to-back days of deported sex offenders. The chief reported his agents apprehended two more criminal aliens on back-to-back days in July. Brackettville Station agents arrested one of those, 61-year-old Jose Francisco Perdomo-Amador, a Honduran national, on July 12as he attempted to sneak past an interior checkpoint. During a records check, the agents discovered that a Dallas, Texas, court convicted the Honduran man in October 2017 for sexual assault. After being sentenced to a two-year prison term, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers deported him back to Honduras in 2021. The following day, Carrizo Springs Station agents arrested a Guatemalan migrant who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Texas with a group of four other migrants. During processing, agents conducted a background investigation and found that a court in Orange County, Florida, convicted the man, Henry Oroxco-Miranda, 42, for lewd and lascivious sexual battery upon the elderly/disabled. The court sentenced him to four years in state prison. ICE officers deported him in 2015. The sector accounted for 326,177 of the more than 1.6 million migrants apprehended along the U.S.-Mexico border this fiscal year. Build the wall!!!

The 100-meter hurdler romped to victory in 12.12 seconds to beat Kendra Harrison's 2016 world record by 0.08 seconds at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon Sunday. Johnson took exception to the times recorded in the stadium, in which 12 athletes of 24 in the semi-finals recorded their best ever times. The 54-year-old, who claimed four Olympic golds and eight World Championship golds in a stellar track career, took to Twitter after seeing how many athletes looked shocked at their own times. But he was immediately hit with a backlash, and fumed in response: 'The level of dumbassery coming across my feed right now is truly staggering! 'As a commentator my job is to comment. In questioning the times of 28 athletes (not 1 athlete) by wondering if the timing system malfunctioned. 'I was attacked, accused of racism, and of questioning the talent of an athlete I respect and predicted to win. Unacceptable. I move on.' Initially, the American had written: 'I don't believe 100h (100m hurdles) times are correct. 'World record broken by .08! 12 PBs (personal bests) set. 5 National records set. And Cindy Sember quote after her PB/NR (national record) 'I thought I was running slow!' All athletes looked shocked [sic]. 'Heat 2 we were first shown winning time of 12.53. Few seconds later it shows 12.43. Rounding down by .01 is normal. .10 is not.' Amusan became world champion in an even faster time later in the day at Hayward Field but the time did not count toward records due to a hefty tailwind. But fans on social media were not happy with Johnson for mentioning Amusan's world record, with one accusing him of 'black racism'. The Twitter user, calling himself Slim Daddy, wrote: 'Michael Johnson are you naturally this dumb or do you have to put in effort? 'Why don't you channel your energy to recovering from your stroke you Black racist! One Twitter user claimed Johnson - who now commentates for the BBC - might have been seeking revenge after USA were stripped of the 4x100m Olympic title in 2000 and Nigeria took gold instead. 'The US 4x400m team that had Michael Johnson was stripped of the Sydney 2000 Olympic gold medal because Antonio Pettigrew confessed that he doped during the competition,' the Tweet read. 'The Nigerian team was eventually awarded the gold medal. Do you understand his bitterness now?' Folks, we’re in an age now, where any simple statements, analysis, or facts, will be met with emotional responses like this… I used to want to pursue a career as a sportscaster, but, not in it’s current state I don’t… I do however, look forward to the time where we Christians rise up and conquer it for Jesus, by His will.

Today, we're setting up Celia Aniskovich, New York City-based director and producer, well known for her co-production of How to Fix a Drug Scandal and her production of Surviving Jefferey Epstein. In 2021, she released a six-part podcast series for Wondery called the Spy Affair about Maria Butina and is working on a feature length film about disability rights. She recently read and loved How to Stop Time by Matt Haig and A Lesson Before Dying by Earnest Gaines. She considers herself a romantic, and her dream Saturday is a loungey morning with pastries and a long walk. If tattoos only lasted one year, she'd get the line “Do it for the Fat Lady” from her favorite book, Franny and Zooey, though she says she doesn't love classics. She thinks everyone should watch One Tree Hill and she is a snob about snobby people.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Maria Butina, a pro-Putin member of Russia's state Duma. Where does Vladimir Putin's self-styled 'special military operation' in Ukraine go from here? He expected Kyiv to fall quickly; it didn't. Ukraine's determination to resist hasn't crumbled, despite the terrible human cost. Russian losses mount, and its economy is hurting. In the invasion's second month, what do Russians think it is achieving?

Hey Listeners, I want to tell you about a new True Crime mini series from WONDERY called SPY AFFAIR. In 2016 news of Russian interference in the American presidential election shook the nation to its core. Two years later Maria Butina, an alleged Russian operative sent to America to influence US politics, was arrested on charges of being a foreign agent. She quickly found herself and the people around her embroiled in a massive FBI investigation. Maria would be portrayed as a spy and a woman who strung a web of lies, all focused on completing her primary mission - influence government officials in positions of power to benefit her home country - Russia. Wondery's new Mini Series, Spy Affair, is an inside look at the shocking true story of a woman who started her time in America with a trip to Disneyland and ended it as a convicted criminal.

Join us as we go through the murky world of Russian intelligence. In Vladimir Putin's Russia, the old-style KGB tactics didn't go away. Instead, the Russian intelligence apparatus has been empowered. This episode goes through the story of the Russian “illegals” spy ring operating in the U.S., examining the back story of these deep cover Russian agents who would later become the inspiration for the hit television series “The Americans”. We also show how one of the American men recruited by a Russian spy, Carter Page, eventually rose up to become one of Trump's initial foreign policy advisors.In this episode of The Asset, host Max Bergmann, the director of The Moscow Project, an initiative of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, shows how Russia sought to infiltrate and cultivate the far right movement in the United States, locking in on guns and the NRA as the most effective way to do so. It breaks down the story of Maria Butina, a Russian agent currently behind bars.This episode also hones in on Donald Trump's reemergence on the political scene with his embrace of the birther conspiracy theory and shows how that conspiracy mirrors the same sorts of disinformation campaigns that Soviet and Russian intelligence love to push.Lastly, the episode breaks down the idea of kompromat and examines Trump's 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow. This isn't just the trip where that infamous tape took place. It is also where Trump once again was seeking to do business in Russia.The Asset tells the full story of Trump and Russia. Each week, we will examine the colorful characters and dirty deals that populate the story of how Russia helped the son of a shady real estate mogul became President of the United States.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
