The ex-diversity program manager for Facebook and Nike who stole more than $5 million from the mega companies to fund her “luxury lifestyle” was sentenced Monday to five years behind bars — and ordered to pay back the hefty sum. Barbara Furlow-Smiles, 38, set up fake business deals, invoices and events — including a Juneteenth celebration — to line her own pockets, the Justice Department said. “Furlow-Smiles shamelessly violated her position of trust as a DEI executive at Facebook to steal millions from the company utilizing a scheme involving fraudulent vendors, fake invoices, and cash kickbacks,” said US Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan said in a statement.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh said Friday that “consistency builds respect” when it comes to trust in the U.S. judicial system Friday, according to The Washington Post. “Individual decisions don’t have to be popular. … The losing party has to respect the decision,” Kavanaugh said at a judicial conference Friday, the Post reported. Consistency builds respect,” Kavanaugh continued. “It’s showing up every day in the courtroom and trying to be respectful to the parties, to write your opinion in a way that’s clear and understandable, to get out when you’re speaking and try to explain, to the bar,

Former President Trump said his 18-year-old son Barron is a “smart one” whom he trusts to advise him on politics. Trump said his youngest son, who will be making his debut in the political sphere at this year’s Republican National Convention, “likes” the industry. November will mark the first presidential election in which Barron is eligible to vote.“He’s seen it. He doesn’t have to hear. He is a smart one. He doesn’t have to hear much. But he’s, he’s a great guy,” Trump told “Kayal and Company” on Philadelphia’s Talk Radio 1210 WPHT on Friday. “He’s a little on the tall side.

Last month, the United States vetoed a UN Security Council bid to recognize a “Palestinian” state. Today, however, the full UN General Assembly backed that same bid, with 143 nations out of the 193 total voting in favor of the idea (25 abstained). Think about that: Seventy-five percent of the UN is in favor of granting nationhood to a people whose raison d'être is to commit genocide against a UN nation. The world’s moral compass is broken and, as always, Jews are the canary in the coalmine. The rest of the civilized world will be next.

Former House speaker Kevin McCarthy said Thursday he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he had made a deal with Democrats to stave off his ouster from House leadership — as Speaker Mike Johnson did this week. The House dismissed a motion to oust Johnson on Wednesday night after Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.) triggered a floor vote on her resolution. A motion to table Greene’s measure won support from 196 Republicans and 163 Democrats. Some Republicans have claimed Johnson won Democrats’ support by negotiating the passage of foreign aid to Ukraine,

Are there any old sci-fi fans in the house? I'm not just talking about the Golden Age of SF or the old recordings of X Minus One, although those are not to be missed. I'm thinking of something more contemporary. Who remembers "Logan's Run?" For those who have never seen the movie or may need a refresher, "Logan's Run" takes place in the 23rd century. Everyone lives in a domed city, where all needs and desires are fulfilled. It is a veritable utopia with just one catch: no one is allowed to live past the age of 30. Once one hits 30,

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said President Biden’s threat to halt weapons to Israel is “deeply misguided.” “Certainly, President Biden has always been a great friend to Israel, but I think that this decision is deeply misguided,” Bennett told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Thursday. What are we being told here,” he continued. “We have a radical jihadist terror organization on our border that’s telling us it’s going to continue trying to murder as many Jews as possible. Obviously, we have to get rid of it. We have no choice.” Bennett said Hamas is hiding behind civilians and that Biden threatening to stop sending weapons to Israel would be a “profound mistake,”

President Biden’s red line against a major Israeli military operation on Rafah has left Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a crossroads: Any major move to crush Hamas in its last stronghold in southern Gaza could trigger an unprecedented break in ties with the U.S., while failing to take decisive action could cause his political coalition to crumble at home. “Israel has to make its decisions,” White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said Thursday. “We understand that, and we’ll have to make ours based on what they do. I think the president was crystal clear last night that if they do smash into Rafah,

New York City Democrats were largely quiet Thursday after President Biden announced he was pausing some military aid for Israel to deter an offensive against Hamas-held Rafah — with members of the left-wing “Squad” of House members openly celebrating and many others saying nothing publicly. Bronx and Westchester Rep. Jamaal Bowman has been an outspoken supporter of anti-Israel protesters. Jack Gruber / USA TODAY NETWORK “Protesting is working. Keep fighting for a #CeasefireNow,” tweeted Bronx and Westchester Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who has been an outspoken supporter of anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University and elsewhere

One of former President Donald Trump’s biggest legal defenders and advisers, Mike Davis, held a meeting last Wednesday with a select group of House Republicans to discuss ways to fight back against President Joe Biden’s lawfare against Trump, the Daily Caller has learned. Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project, met with lawmakers from the House Conservative Opportunity Society, which is chaired by Republican South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman. The group does not share how many members it has or when it holds meetings, which are off the record with no staff or media present.

In a now widely seen CNN interview, President Joe Biden stated that “I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem.” We’re going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks that came out of the Middle East recently,”

Marjorie Taylor Green and Thomas Massive together brought a motion to the House floor to remove Speaker Mike Johnson from office. However, a considerable number of Democrats joined Republicans in a 359-43 vote to table the motion and protect Johnson’s speakership. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) aligned with MTG and Massie. Eight republicans including Andy Biggs, Chip Roy, Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), Eli Crane (R-Ariz.), Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.), Barry Moore (R-Ala.) and Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) all voted to remove Johnson and create an unknown outcome, perhaps even a democrat speakership. After the failed effort to remove him, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson spoke to the media.
