Corrections officers may have falsified reports they checked on Epstein…
August 13, 2019
Multiple sources told CBS News that Epstein's cellmate at the Metropolitan Correctional Center posted bail last Friday, leaving Epstein alone in his cell the day before he died. Another source familiar with the investigation said it appears Epstein had been dead one to two hours before he was found... At least one temporary employee at the detention center was on watch Friday night into Saturday morning, multiple sources said. The replacement employee was not part of the regular detail assigned to Epstein's special housing unit.
Man armed with AR-15 rifle killed in shootout with police near Kansas City outlet mall…
August 13, 2019
Kansas City, Kansas police shot and killed a man they say was heavily armed Tuesday morning and shot at them. Police say the gunman also told a hotel manager he killed his wife and was headed to Legends Outlets with a military-style rifle. A witness told FOX4 that the man who made the threats matched a photo of Charles Roy Pearson, a 51-year-old man from Lenexa... Pearson told a hotel manager before the shootout that he killed his wife, was dangerous and that the manager needed to call police. Then the witness said he went out to a red Maserati and peeled out of the parking lot.
Don Lemonhead has been sued for alleged assault at Hamptons bar…
August 13, 2019
A lawsuit filed in Suffolk County, New York, claims that CNN host Don Lemon inflicted "emotional pain and suffering" on a man during a July 2018 incident. The lawsuit details last summer's incident by alleging that after placing his hands down his own pants and "vigorously rubbing his genitalia," Lemon "intensely pushed his fingers against Plaintiff’s face under Plaintiff’s nose, forcing Plaintiff’s head to thrust backward." He allegedly further harassed the man, Dustin Hice, with aggressive sexual questions.
A statement issued by CNN denies the claims and says Hice had a history of antagonizing CNN and its employees on social media. "The plaintiff in this lawsuit has previously displayed a pattern of contempt for CNN on his social media accounts,” a representative for CNN said to Mediaite. “This claim follows his unsuccessful threats and demands for an exorbitant amount of money from Don Lemon. Don categorically denies these claims and this matter does not merit any further comment at this time."
Jeffrey Epstein’s death was posted on 4chan before it became public…
August 13, 2019
The user made a series of six posts beginning at 8:16 a.m. Saturday — around 40 minutes before news of the convicted pedophile’s death broke. “[D]ont ask me how I know, but Epstein died an hour ago from hanging, cardiac arrest. Screencap this,” the first post reads. The messages included unconfirmed details about the aid first responders rendered. “Pt transported to Lower Manhattan ER and worked for 20 minutes and called,” said one message posted at 8:47 a.m. Saturday said... Without revealing the source, the leaker denied the post was bogus. “let’s just say I know. Dont need a glowie coming to my crib,” the person wrote at 8:31 a.m., referring to the practice of law enforcement agents creating bait posts, known on 4chan as “glowposting.”
The FDNY launched a probe into the incident but said that the messages were not posted by one of its own... Dr. Keith Wesley, who has authored EMS textbooks, said the language in one of the posts “sounds like standard American Heart Association guidelines, which most EMS agencies use,”
Radioactive Dust From An Ancient Supernova Found In Antarctica…
August 13, 2019
Radioactive dust from a supernova landed in Antarctica from a star that exploded into a supernova millions of years ago, where it was eventually buried under untold thousands of pounds of snow. After a massive excavation effort, scientists hope that studying the dust will reveal new secrets about the cosmic environment surrounding our solar system, lead researcher Dominik Koll, a doctoral candidate at the Australian National University, told Gizmodo. By studying the fallout of an ancient cosmic explosion, we have a chance to better understand the history of our galactic neighborhood.
Russian military orders village evacuation, then cancels it…
August 13, 2019
The Russian military on Tuesday told residents of a village near a navy testing range to evacuate, but cancelled the order hours later, adding to the uncertainty and confusion fueled by a missile explosion last week that led to a brief spike in radiation that frightened residents and raised new questions about the military’s weapons program.
Initially the military told residents of Nyonoksa, a village of about 500, to move out temporarily, citing unspecified activities at the range. But a few hours later, it said the planned activities were cancelled and rescinded the request to leave, said Ksenia Yudina, a spokeswoman for the Severodvinsk regional administration.
Senate Dems warn the Supreme Court that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to “heal” the court in the near future…
August 13, 2019
The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a case related to a New York City gun law. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., referenced rulings by the court's conservative majority in claiming it is suffering from some sort of affliction which must be remedied. "The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it," the brief said. "Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be 'restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.'" The last part was quoting language from a Quinnipiac University poll, in which 51 percent favored such restructuring. In the same poll, 55 percent believed the Supreme Court was "motivated by politics" more than by the law.
man arrested after firing shots into an ice field office in san antonio
August 13, 2019
Local law enforcement responded around 3 a.m. CT Tuesday to shots fired at the ICE field office located north of Interstate 410 near Brookhaven Drive. Police told News 4 the man is believed to have fired the shots from across the highway into the windows of the building. The building does not have bulletproof windows, and at least one shot penetrated a window. "They have a 24/7 command center in there so there were people in the building," a former senior ICE official who spoke with an official based at the office told the Washington Examiner.
Tom Steyer will likely become the tenth and final Democrat to make the September debate stage…
August 13, 2019
If you had "Tom Steyer manipulates the DNC's small donor incentives to become the dark horse to make the September debate stage" on your 2019 bingo card, get ready to collect your winnings. After spending more than $7 million on ads, the billionaire has managed to buy — I mean earn — the 130,000 unique donor threshold and meet the requirement for the September Democratic presidential debate stage. Steyer, who entered the race late with the promise of committing $100 million of his own money to his campaign, needs just one more qualifying poll to secure his position... the DNC enacted the unique donor qualification to keep a candidate from buying their way onto the debate stage, yet Steyer did just that, asking for $1 donations that probably caused him to lose money with every transaction... Even better yet, you don't just have to see Steyer on September's stage. Assuming he gets the final poll he requires, the DNC rules dictate that he'll qualify for the October debates too.

Google Whistleblower Turns Over 950 Pages Of Docs And Laptop To DOJ. Alleging serious manipulation of algorithms that could have major repercussions in upcoming 2020 Election…
August 13, 2019
The former Google insider, who has already spoken in to the nonprofit organization Project Veritas, met with SaraACarter.com on several occasions last week... Several weeks prior, the insider mailed a laptop to the DOJ containing the same information delivered on Friday, they said. The former insider is choosing to remain anonymous until Project Verita’s James O’Keefe reveals his identity tomorrow (Wednesday)... on his recent trip to Washington D.C. that the documents he turned over to the Justice Department will provide proof that Google has been manipulating the algorithms and the evidence of how it was done, the insider said... He said he’s asked himself many times if he’s overreacting “and every time I simply look back at the documents and realize that I am not.” “It’s that bad,” he said. “Disclosing Google’s own words to the American public is something I am, must do, if I am to consider myself a good person. The world that google is building is not a place I, or you or our children want to live in.”

Justice Dept. reassigns warden of jail where Epstein died, puts two staffers on leave…
August 13, 2019
The move comes a day after Attorney General William P. Barr decried what he called a “failure” by officials at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan to secure the multimillionaire sex offender. In leveling his criticism, Barr cited unspecified “irregularities” at the facility. On Tuesday, Barr “directed the Bureau of Prisons to temporarily assign” warden Lamine N’Diaye to a regional office, pending the outcome of internal investigations into Epstein’s death, the Justice Department said in a statement. Two staffers who were assigned to Epstein’s unit at the time of his death were placed on administrative leave, the department said.

August 13, 2019
That is similar to the proportion Trump raised during the 2016 election cycle, when 65 percent of donations were under $200. And this is dramatically higher than previous Republican nominees. Mitt Romney raised 26 percent of his direct contributions from small donations in 2012, and John McCain raised 25 percent from small donations in 2008. Campaign finance analysts say the data indicates grassroots enthusiasm for Trump's populist message.
