Tiger Woods' former longtime girlfriend is asking a judge to remove her from a nondisclosure agreement that she claims the 15-time major champion forced her to sign when their relationship started in August 2017, according to court records obtained by ESPN.
The civil complaint filed Monday in the Circuit Court of the 19th Judicial Circuit in Martin County, Florida, is the latest in a monthslong dispute between Erica Herman and the star golfer.
Herman believes that the NDA is "invalid and unenforceable" and that a trust controlled by Woods is wrongfully using it against her. Herman's attorney is citing a federal law(snip)that prevents the enforcement of nondisclosure agreements in
A defendant in the Proud Boys trial over Jan. 6, 2021, charges moved on March 9 to dismiss the case, after some footage from the day of the breach was shown for the first time.
Dominic Pezzola is one of the Proud Boys members on trial for obstruction of an official proceeding and other charges. The newly disclosed footage, shown on Fox News this week, “is plainly exculpatory,” Pezzola’s lawyers said in the new motion.
“It establishes that the Senate chamber was never violently breached, and—in fact—was treated respectfully by January 6 protestors,” the motion reads.

Dr. Redfield's Bombshell Testimony
23 replies
Yesterday, we witnessed the ex-director of the CDC, under oath, directly blame Dr. Fauci and the US Government for the deaths of millions of people. However, if you went to the headlines of Google News - there was nary a news story. I guess Google felt it wasn’t important enough to warrant above-the-fold status. Seems like they had to make room for important news items, like the ones above.
A keyword search of Redfield on Google news did come up with the following stories.(snip) The actual testimony of Dr. Redfield was explosive. Yet, none of these headlines bely the gravity of Dr Redfield’s testimony. Dr. Redfield directly linked gain-of-function research
For two years now, we have heard about an insurrection that everyone knows was bogus. The media deliberately lied in its vain attempt to ruin President Donald John Trump — one in a series of attempts by the real deniers of election results. Tucker Carlson’s revelation that the Capitol Police incited peaceful protesters has been dismissed by a media obsessed with lying. The key to Pravda — the Soviet version of propaganda — was not to get people to believe it, but to get people to stop following the news. Judging by television ratings(snip) it is working. It indoctrinates Americans to believe they are powerless

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration is being sued in federal court for a law declaring California a "sanctuary state" for minors seeking transgender medical procedures.
Our Watch, a California parental rights nonprofit, is to file a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California Western Division against Attorney General Rob Bonta.
The filing, to be submitted by Advocates for Faith and Freedom, demands a jury trial regarding Senate Bill 107, which Newsom signed into law in September. It also seeks injunctive relief, a judicial declaration that the law is unconstitutional, as well as the recovery of attorney fees.
The federal government’s program of releasing many illegal immigrants rather than holding them until their cases are resolved violates federal law, a U.S. judge ruled on March 8.
“The evidence establishes that Defendants have effectively turned the Southwest Border into a meaningless line in the sand and little more than a speedbump for aliens flooding into the country,” U.S. District Judge Judge T. Kent Wetherell, a Trump appointee, said in the ruling.
Wetherell struck down Alternatives to Detention, a program through which President Joe Biden’s administration has released more than one million aliens into the U.S. interior.
Attorney Mike Davis has some good constructive criticism surrounding the current construct and status of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Govt. {Direct Rumble Link}
As Mr. Davis notes the current allocated budget ($2 million) and staffing (5 persons) of the committee itself does not reflect a priority, and the demands of the regular House Judiciary Committee upon Jim Jordan (chairs both) means his time focused on the subcommittee is curtailed.
I’m not sure the issue is as dire as Davis notes; obviously we do not know the background work that might be taking place; but the lack of general urgency -in combination with the history of the GOP in
When it comes to rapid fire righteous indignation, no one does it better than Republican House Representative Jim Jordan {Direct Rumble Link}. This is one of his best.
During the House hearing today, Jordan outlined the suspicious timeline indicating how Anthony Fauci leveraged his position in government to manipulate the origin of the COVID-19 virus. WATCH:
The battle within cyberspace continues, with mainstream media willing to use every sketchy source possible in order to maintain the great pretending.
As many major stories have shown in the past few years, the big battle over human control is taking place on social media platforms as they continue to be manipulated by government agencies. (snip)
It is into this context that the Associated Press now promotes a story (with extremely sketchy sourcing) claiming that too much “pro-Trump” support exists on Twitter, and too much anti-DeSantis activity exists on Twitter, for that to be an authentic representation of reality.
The face of the Jan. 6 incursion—the so-called “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley—was peacefully escorted around the U.S. Capitol by police on Jan. 6, Fox News host Tucker Carlson alleged on March 6 in his first special based on exclusive access to 41,000 previously unseen hours of Capitol security video.
Carlson showed CCTV security video of Chansley walking calmly through the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Not only did the police not try to stop Chansley, they escorted him, Carlson said.
“Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” (snip) Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides.

The crew of HOV Alvin drank in the spectacle of a shipwreck’s haunting bow, recording the historic moment with their vehicle’s underwater video camera. The three researchers were the first humans to lay eyes on the “unsinkable” passenger liner, RMS Titanic, since her ill-fated voyage in 1912.
Their 1986 expedition captured video near the bottom of the North Atlantic, some 400 miles south off the coast of Newfoundland, where the vessel sank nearly 75 years earlier. Much of that footage remained unreleased—until now.
In September 1985, Dr. Robert Ballard of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) led the team that first discovered the ship’s final resting place nearly 12,500 feet below

Kamala Harris may suffer from aphasia
48 replies
Kamala Harris's verbal utterances are bizarre, repetitive, and often not completed. (snip) Aphasics may do this to hide the fact that they can literally not hold onto the meaning of their narrative, to carry it to completion. So, they make up an ending to the story and then perhaps flip into a semantically weird ending. Harris often simply repeats her first sentence.
This is not planned for a rational purpose, and she often solves her semantic confusion by bursting out in stereotypical laughter, with gestures, to encourage her listeners to think she just did a funny.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has announced that her 17-year-old son Tyler and his girlfriend are expecting a child next month.

Former January 6 Chairman Bennie Thompson claimed he never had access to January 6 footage after Fox News host Tucker Carlson released never-before-seen footage.
Bennie Thompson told CNN that he is not aware of any January 6 Committee members having access to the J6 footage.
“I’m actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video,” Bennie Thompson told CNN.
Via CNN: “Bennie Thompson, former chair of the Jan. 6 committee, said lawmakers were never given that type of access to the footage last Congress. “It’s strictly a new policy that the new speaker has put in place,”
Senate Republicans found themselves shaken and disoriented Thursday after finding out their leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.) was in the hospital after tripping at a private event, raising questions about his health and future leadership of the GOP conference. McConnell, who in January became the longest serving party leader in Senate history, has led the Senate GOP conference since 2005 and has helped guide his colleagues through some of the biggest moments in recent history — the 2008 financial collapse, the near default of the U.S. government in 2011, the fiscal cliff of 2012, the two impeachment trials of …

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kapernick accused his adoptive parents of "perpetuating racism" in an interview that aired Thursday.
Kaepernick talked about coming to terms with his racial identity while growing up in a White family in his new graphic novel, "Change the Game." The former football player recalled disagreements with his parents that he attributed to racism, calling his upbringing "problematic."
"I know my parents loved me. But there were still very problematic things that I went through," the biracial quarterback said to CBS News.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough mocked House Republicans' idea of visiting people who are being held in Washington, D.C. for charges relating to the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to assess the conditions of the jail.Scarborough said the GOP "clowns" were being "idiots" for the idea.
"Joe, one more note as we talk about the politics of it and the wisdom or lack thereof of Republicans reopening this wound and talking about it publicly. There is a group of Republicans, led by Marjorie Taylor Greene, planning a visit to the prison where some of these men and women are being held, people who beat up cops,"

(Snip) Doctors caring for him have said Fetterman should limit his exposure to cable television, the internet and social media — a major information detox for someone whose obsession, and occupation, is politics.

Dear Conservatives, I Apologize
29 replies
There is no way to avoid this moment. The formal letter of apology. From me. To Conservatives and to those who “put America first” everywhere.
It’s tempting to sweep this confrontation with my own gullibility under the rug — to “move on” without every acknowledging that I was duped, and that as a result I made mistakes in judgement, and that these mistakes hurt millions of other people like you all, in existential ways. (Snip) The proximate cause of this letter of apology is the airing, two nights ago, of excepts from tens of thousands of hours of security camera footage from the United States Capitol taken on Jan 6, 2021.
A Democratic delegate proposed a law in Maryland that would bar anyone under 25 years of age from being charged with felony murder.
Delegate Charlotte Crutchfield, a Democrat, made the proposition through the Youth Accountability and Safety Act, House Bill 1180, local news outlet WBFF reported. A defendant in Maryland can be charged with felony murder if the person commits a murder during a felony crime, such as robbery.
Crutchfield and supporters of the bill say that the brain is not fully developed before age 25, so issuing so harsh a sentence is unfair. "We don't allow children under 18 to do a myriad of other things under the law," state
