As Los Angeles voters prepare to head to the polls next week, reality TV star and online influencer-turned-mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has gained surprising momentum in the race for mayor. He's racked up endorsements from fellow reality stars as well as famous actors, musicians and media personalities. Despite a growing list of high-profile supporters, Pratt said in an interview on "Gutfeld!" on Thursday that celebrity endorsements are not a priority for his campaign. "I actually don't want celebrities to come out and endorse me," he said, adding the only endorsements he wants are from "the moms and the animal lovers in L.A."

America’s political and cultural divisions are increasingly finding their way into the nation’s courtrooms. From bitter jury-room disputes to unusually public clashes among Supreme Court justices, the judiciary – long considered the most restrained and deliberate of America’s institutions – is beginning to reflect the same polarization reshaping much of American public life.
Courts were once the federal branch of government least likely to generate headlines for hot tempers or personal attacks. Increasingly, they are starting to look like everything else.
A Warning Sign From the Jury Box
A recent Wall Street Journal report by Corinne Ramey offers a striking introduction to the problem.
At least 19 people were injured when a stampede broke out at a South Carolina beach early Sunday morning, according to officials.
Horry County Fire Rescue officials said a “reported stampede incident” took place just after 1 a.m. near the stage area in Atlantic Beach in South Carolina, 13 miles north of Myrtle Beach.
Nineteen people were evaluated for injuries, which were deemed non-life-threatening. Three others were transported to local hospitals. Officials haven’t ruled out the possibility of additional victims who weren’t checked by first responders.[snip] Atlantic Beach is currently hosting the annual Atlantic Beach Memorial Day Black Pearl Cultural Heritage and Bike Festival

The three victims were hospitalized with minor stab wounds.
Four college students are facing charges after police say they organized a series of rowdy “takeover” events in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
The Rehoboth Beach Police Department confirmed that crowds took over the beach and boardwalk on Tuesday after an ad for the unauthorized “takeover” started circulating online.
Allegedly fueled by underage drinking and illegal drug use, the takeover prompted a heavy police presence with officers making a few arrests.
Delaware State University Students 19-year-old Xander Nicholl, 21-year-old Angelin Clauvil, 21-year-old Eric Barnett and 22-year-old Keyon Scott are all facing charges relating to facilitating a riot, as well as conspiracy in the second degree.
A bill that would ban ingredients used in many of New Jersey’s pizzas, along with other food additives, is making its way through the Legislature and drawing pushback from the food industry.
The measure, S3785, would prohibit the use of certain ingredients based on their classification as potential carcinogens. Among them is potassium bromate, a dough-strengthening agent used in some commercial bread and pizza doughs, though not all pizzerias rely on it. The bill also takes aim at a range of additives and food dyes, and includes restrictions on what can be served in school lunches in an effort to improve children’s health.

Host Kristen Welker said, “You’ve heard about the president’s $1.8 billion fund, the so-called anti-weaponization fund, to pay people who say they were unfairly investigated or prosecuted by the government. It’s tied up in the courts right now. But, Mr. Vice President, should the government, in any instance, compensate people who attacked law enforcement officers on January 6?”
Pence said, “Well, look, I think that the weaponization fund is a bad idea from the start. And, I would encourage the administration just to drop it. Look, the Justice Department has the ability—
America’s most infamous tech company has a bold, potentially risky plan to supposedly reduce the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses, assuming the federal government will sign off on the proposal.
As The New York Post reported, Google wants federal approval to unleash approximately 32 MILLION mosquitoes into the states of California and Florida over the next two years.
This is supposedly part of an effort to halt the spread of several serious mosquito-borne illnesses, including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever.
We reported earlier on Saturday on Jill Biden's remarks about Hunter's pardon, and they truly did beggar belief as she tried to blame President Donald Trump for Joe Biden going back on his word not to pardon his son. Indeed, she claimed he had to do it because they were fearful Hunter would be targeted by Trump. That took some kind of gall, after the lawfare efforts against Trump for years. Jill also got a lot of backlash for saying she had never seen anything like Joe's confusion during the debate before or since, claiming she thought he was having a stroke or medical issue. That's hard to believe,

We often hear and read about men brutalizing women, and it is a national disgrace that so many women live their lives in terror. I’ve written many times about the battering situations I came across as a police officer in NYC.
But there’s another type of battering I’ve witnessed, albeit not nearly as often: women brutalizing men.
While working a tour in Brooklyn one night, my partner and I were summoned to an apartment to handle an assault in progress. When we arrived and climbed a few flights of stairs, we heard moaning sounds coming from behind an open door of one of the rooms. Other occupants
From the jump, we all know the E. Jean Carroll story smelled fishy. It was a very obvious political hit job against President Trump. And it came at a time when Dems were throwing everything they had at him to try and end his political aspirations for 2024(snip)
The issue is all about her testimony… specifically about the funding of the case. She allegedly said no one besides herself was paying her legal fees, even though it later came out that a nonprofit backed by billionaire Dem donor (and Epstein Island fanboy) Reid Hoffman helped fund her entire case.
Hoffman is a major Democrat donor and a big-time Trump hater.
The wife of Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner said she was “deeply hurt” after details of her husband’s extramarital sexting became public Saturday, accusing a former campaign official and confidante of betraying her trust.
The statement from Platner’s wife, Amy Gertner, came after both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported that shortly after Platner announced his Senate campaign last year, Gertner flagged to campaign staff sexual text messages her husband had with other women.
“I know who Graham is,” Gertner said in a statement delivered through Platner’s campaign. “I know the man I married

Did you imagine for a moment that the notion that the most openly diverse, democratic country in the Middle East, which goes to unheard-of lengths to protect citizens in enemy territory, was an "apartheid, genocider” sprung up spontaneously? That this defamation arose all on its own through large grassroots movements? Of course, this is not how so many libels against Israel took root.In an extensively documented report, the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives found that the Biden Administration sent funds to NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) that used them to destabilize the Israeli government and fund anti-American and anti-Israeli activities here. These efforts, unsurprisingly,

Chess champ Magnus Carlsen, 32, lost to 19-year-old Hans Niemann at the 2022 Sinquefield Cup, sparking Carlsen’s cheating claims.
Niemann, who admitted to prior online cheating, faced a wild “anal beads” theory for his win that went viral.
Niemann’s $100 million defamation lawsuit against Carlsen and Chess.com was dismissed, leading to a confidential settlement.
In September of 2022, Magnus Carlsen had won 53 consecutive classical chess matches.Then, he sat down across from Hans Niemann.
Carlsen, then 32 and a five-time World Championship, was widely considered the greatest player in the millennium-and-a-half history of the sport. The Norwegian had an Elo rating — a system that calculates a player’s relative skill level —
Martina McBride was, once upon a time, one of country’s biggest stars. The emphasis there is once upon a time; a long time, unless you’re one of those types who thinks it’s only yesterday that Pearl Jam and the Strokes were on the radio and any large group of people still listened to any of those three. (No shame in that; I’m in your numbers.)
McBride’s last album that appeared in the Billboard 200 was released in 2014. Her last album certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America — for between 500,000 to 1 million sales or equivalent streams — was released in 2007.
CNN’s Michael Smerconish isn’t buying presumptive Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s explanations for once having a Nazi-linked tattoo.
On Saturday, Smerconish opened his show by calling out what he called a “blindspot” for the Democratic Party, which he explained is excusing certain behavior and troublesome candidates simply because they passionately oppose President Donald Trump.
Smerconish pointed to Platner as a prime example of this “blindspot,” citing both a Nazi-linked tattoo that has since been covered and recently-discovered Reddit posts where the candidate mocked a veteran over a video of him overseas in a firefight.
Former Press Secretary for First Lady Jill Biden Michael LaRosa said he has been "shocked" by the amount of Democratic support for Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and that the Platner campaign reveals a line in the sand within the Democratic Party.
"I am shocked at some of the people, some of the Democrats who I consider friends, being so all-or-nothing about this guy, and I don't really understand why," LaRosa told Fox News Digital. "He is not really representative of the values I would expect in a Democratic candidate, even by today's standards. I'm a little surprised at the number of people who are circling
