Shock as AP Photo of Shani Louk’s Corpse
Wins ‘Picture of the Year’
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/29/2024 9:30:46 PM
Critics reacted in alarm this week after the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri awarded the Associated Press with a “Pictures of the Year” award for photos including an Israeli victim of Hamas. The most controversial photograph shows the body of 23-year-old Shani Louk, a German-Israeli dual citizen who was kidnapped and murdered by Hamas, on the back of a truck. Video would later show Palestinians abusing her corpse. The Associated Press won “Team Picture Story of the Year” for its coverage of the “Israel and Hamas War.” The accompanying statement by the Reynolds Journalism Institute is riddled with inaccuracies: claiming that Hamas kidnapped

On Wednesday, Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, argued that the tax charges filed against his client in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California should be dismissed. Biden's legal team presented a total of eight different motions to dismiss. RedState's Managing Editor, Jennifer Van Laar, provided a rundown of that hearing.
A total of eight motions to dismiss were filed by the defense to be considered by US District Judge Mark Scarsi. They argue that the nine-count indictment should be dismissed because:
July 2023 Diversion Agreement is in effect, therefore giving Hunter Biden immunity

Former president Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond for his New York State civil fraud case Monday evening through an insurance company.
Trump posted the bond backed by the California-based Knight Speciality Insurance Company, kick-starting the appeals process against the $355 million civil fraud judgment imposed by New York judge Arthur Engoron last month. Trump is on the hook for more than $450 million because he is mandated to pay interest on top of Engoron’s judgment.
Last week, an appellate court granted Trump a ten-day extension to pay the reduced $175 million bond after it appeared
Donald Trump's "extreme and deliberate provocations" in his hush money trial are aimed to undermine the case, the Manhattan district attorney said Monday as he urged a judge to strengthen a gag order on the former president.
Trump's "dangerous, violent, and reprehensible rhetoric fundamentally threatens the integrity of these proceedings and is intended to intimidate witnesses and trial participants alike — including this Court," DA Alvin Bragg said in a blistering filing in New York Supreme Court. Bragg’s request came after Trump, in numerous social media posts, targeted Judge Juan Merchan’s adult daughter over her work for a Democratic political firm.
Florida Supreme Court allows 6-week abortion

ban to take effect, but voters will have
the final say 4 replies
In a pair of significant decisions, the Florida Supreme Court ruled Monday to uphold a 15-week ban on abortion in the state, while also allowing a proposed amendment that would enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution to appear on the November ballot.
The conservative-leaning court's decision on the 15-week ban also means that a six-week abortion ban, with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother, that Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law last year will take effect. But the bench's ruling to allow the constitutional amendment to appear on the ballot this fall means voters will have a chance in just seven months to undo those restrictions.
Speaking to reporters at the White House Monday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre responded to backlash over President Joe Biden's decision to issue a proclamation for "Transgender Visibility Day" on Easter Sunday. Arguing March 31 is always transgender visibility day and that the date for Easter changes every year, Jean Pierre claimed lawmakers and reporters were spreading misinformation about the situation. She also touted Biden's celebration of Easter as a Christian. President Biden has discretion to issue or not issue recurring proclamations, especially when the context or timing is inappropriate -- a fact his press secretary failed to mention.

Republicans, led by Donald Trump, are sounding off on Joe Biden after he issued a statement recognising Trans Visibility Day becasue it happened to coincide with Easter Sunday this year.
Created by a Michigan-based transgender activist, Rachel Crandall, in 2009, International Transgender Day of Visibility (often shortened to Trans Visibility Day) falls on March 31 every year. In 2024, that date coincidentally falls on Easter Sunday, which is determined annually by marking the first Sunday after

Shares of Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group plunged Monday after the company disclosed that it lost more than $58 million and generated very little revenue in 2023.
The figures underscore why some experts warn Trump Media’s multibillion-dollar valuation defies logic and is reminiscent of the meme stock craze. In a regulatory filing on Monday, Trump Media said it lost $58.2 million in 2023, compared with a profit of $50.5 million in 2022. The Truth Social owner generated just $4.1 million in revenue, although that was up from $1.5 million in 2022.
WASHINGTON — The video shared by former President Donald Trump features horror movie music and footage of migrants purportedly entering the U.S. from countries including Cameroon, Afghanistan and China. Shots of men with tattoos and videos of violent crime are set against close-ups of people waving and wrapping themselves in American flags.
“They’re coming by the thousands,” Trump says in the video, posted on his social media site. “We will secure our borders. And we will restore sovereignty.”
In his speeches and online posts, Trump has ramped up anti-immigrant rhetoric as he seeks the White House a third time, casting migrants as dangerous criminals “poisoning the blood” of America.
Google will destroy a vast trove of data as part of a settlement over a lawsuit that accused the search giant of tracking consumers even when they were browsing the web using "incognito" mode, which ostensibly keeps people's online activity private.
The details of the settlement were disclosed Monday in San Francisco federal court, with a legal filing noting that Google will "delete and/or remediate billions of data records that reflect class members' private browsing activities." The value of the settlement is more than $5 billion, according to Monday's filing. The settlement stems from a 2020 lawsuit that claimed Google misled users into believing that it
DAMASCUS, - Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's embassy in Syria on Monday in an escalation of Israel's war against Iran's regional proxies, flattening a building in a strike Tehran said killed a top Revolutionary Guards commander and several diplomats.
Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole in front of the debris. The Syrian foreign minister and interior minister were both spotted at the scene.

Elon Musk’s X/Twitter is testing a new feature that allows users to create and join communities focused on adult or “not safe for work” (NSFW) content. The platform is already plagued with pornbots advertising Onlyfans models and other forms of adult content.
Bloomberg reports that X/Twitter, the social network owned by Elon Musk, is testing a feature that enables users to establish or join communities centered around “adult content” or other “not safe for work” (NSFW) material.

Pre-eminent atheist Richard Dawkins said on Easter Sunday that he identifies as a “cultural Christian” and that he prefers to live in a country based on Christian principles and would not want the UK to become an Islamic nation.
Emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford and God Delusion author Richard Dawkins said that he identifies with Christian society and that he would choose it over other countries based around other faiths, namely Islamic nations.
Speaking to LBC Radio’s Rachel Johnson — the sister of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson — Dawkins said on Sunday that he was “slightly horrified” that Ramadan lights were put up in London instead of Easter ones.

President Joe Biden’s secular deputies kidnapped Christian theology to champion transgenderism on the holiest weekend for Christianity.
On Sunday afternoon, Biden’s X account tweeted: “Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.” (snip) The “made in the image of God” phrase and claim is a theological statement by a government that vigorously enforces secularism outside churches.
The White House moved Sunday to make public its best wishes for Christians in the wake of an earlier furore arising from President Joe Biden embracing Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
A statement from the White House was issued to that effect, saying the power of Christ’s Resurrection is honored in the observance of Easter: Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. Easter reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s Resurrection.
As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus’ sacrifice. We pray for one another and cherish the blessing of the dawn of new possibilities.

RINO Representative Mike Gallagher (WI) announced ten days ago that he will exit the House as early as next month.
Gallagher, who is currently serving as the chairman of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, last month announced that he will not seek reelection.
Instead of serving out the rest of his term, Gallagher will retire early leaving the GOP with a one-vote majority!
But it’s worse than that. Gallagher announced he will leave in mid-April. If Gallagher would have left before April 9th he would have triggered a special election in his district. Because he is leaving after April 9th but still in April,
Canada’s Niagra Falls region has declared a state of emergency to prepare for the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8th.
In a press release, Niagra Regional Chair Jim Bradley said he issued a state of emergency “out of an abundance of caution.”
Bradley continued in the press release, “Declaring a State of Emergency under the EMCPA strengthens the tools the Region has at its disposal to safeguard the health and safety of residents and visitors and protect our critical infrastructure in any scenario that might arise.”
Ontario Mayor Jim Diodati is expecting the Canadian side of Niagra Falls to receive over one million visitors
The next president of United States should be a transgender “woman,” according to comedian Ramy Youssef.
During his opening monologue on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, host Ramy Youssef appeared to be mostly sincere when he said he wants a “trans woman” to occupy the White House. He later mocked Trump supporters and asked God to “free the people of Palestine.” Youssef’s opening coincided with President Joe Biden recently declaring Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
“I really think our next president should be a woman. You know what I mean?” Youssef said to enthusiastic applause from the live audience, adding, “I think our next president should be a trans woman.”

Happy Trans Day of Visibility

For those of you who celebrate this sacred day, Happy Easter. For those who don’t, most Americans appreciate that it is the holiest day of the year for you and treat it with civilized respect.
To the President who claims he is a Catholic in good standing, it’s just another day to poke his fingers in your eyes. Yes, the White House is hosting the traditional easter egg rolling event, but it has banned all religious symbols at the event, and in a proclamation dated, “in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four” announced that this day, March 31, is “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
“Squad” member Rep. Jamaal Bowman blasted Benjamin Netanyahu as a “maniac” on Saturday while branding the Israeli Prime Minister an obstacle to peace in the Gaza Strip and backing Sen. Chuck Schumer’s call for a new election in Israel.
Bowman (D-NY), who has been a steadfast supporter of a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, said he was “100%” behind Schumer amid the Senate Majority Leader’s calls to have Netanyahu removed from office as the Palestinian death count rises.
“There’s a humanitarian crisis. The majority of Gaza has already been destroyed through acts of collective punishment by this maniac, Benjamin Netanyahu,” Bowman told MSNBC on Saturday.
“I’m 100% with Senator Schumer.

Long-time political commentator Chris Matthews said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump was being blasphemous by claiming he is God. Matthews said, “This presidential candidate, Donald Trump, is saying, I am the shepherd. I’m him. I’m God. It’s astounding to me. It’s astounding to me that he can talk like this. It’s blasphemy.” [Snip] Matthews added, “I don’t know if the Democrats have really thought through this campaign and what they’re up against. This guy’s calling himself God. And if he can get away with that, then it is truly a cult.”
