Disgraced Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell said the women accusing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct "deserve to be heard" during the 2018 confirmation hearings. Now a California woman is accusing Swalwell of raping her that same year. Lonna Drewes has become the fifth woman to accuse Swalwell of sexual misconduct, alleging that the former gubernatorial candidate raped her eight years ago. In a press conference Tuesday, Drewes accused Swalwell of spiking her drink before Swalwell brought her to his hotel and allegedly raped her. 'I did not want to live anymore.'Swalwell infamously demanded every one of Kavanaugh's accusers be heard, saying they "deserve for their allegations to be investigated." Eight years later, Swalwell is saying the allegations against him are false and unfounded, eventually dropping out of the governor's race and resigning from Congress."He raped me, and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness, and I thought I died," Drewes said. "I did not consent to any sexual activity."RELATED: 'Mutually assured destruction': Another disgraced lawmaker to resign from Congress over sex scandalDrewes said she did not report the incident at the time but cited other forms of documentation, like her handwritten calendar and therapy sessions at a sexual assault center, to substantiate the accusations. At the time of the alleged encounter, Drewes was in a "committed" relationship, and Swalwell's wife was pregnant."It had a profound impact on my mental health," Drewes added. "I self-medicated in an unhealthy way. I did not want to live anymore. I cried all the time for years. At the time, I was in a dating relationship with a boyfriend I was fully committed to. I've never cheated in my life, and I would never have engaged in a consensual sexual encounter with Eric Swalwell."Like Blaze News?

A popular Chinese robot is going viral for a video showing it chasing wild boars, but many aren't sure why that happened.The robot itself, nicknamed Edward Warchocki, is a Unitree G1 model available for public purchase that popped up in Poland.'Older ladies or gentlemen love talking with him.'The Chinese-made robots go for a whopping $23,809 for the basic model, all the way up to $58,365 for the "ultimate edition."Recently, this particular model was seen running through the streets of Warsaw, Poland, chasing wild boars. While hilarious, there is actual serious context behind the content.Major Polish cities like Krakow have endured a sprawling wild boar issue — even in city centers — for years, resulting in authorities urging their population to resist feeding the somewhat approachable beasts.Other cities have resorted to planting flowers with vivid colors and sweet scents in order to deter the pigs.Since at least 2019, there have been warnings of disease allegedly spread by the animals, resulting in calls for culls and elimination of thousands of them that have reportedly carried illnesses like African swine fever and Hepatitis E.Enter Edward the robot, who was recently seen shooing the animals away from downtown Warsaw.RELATED: Man vs. machine: Chinese robots will compete against humans in Beijing half-marathon - YouTube As reported by Interesting Engineering, Edward is a Chinese humanoid that operates mostly on its own. It is not controlled remotely and is described as unscripted. Therefore it reacts dynamically to its surroundings and engages in adaptive dialogue in Polish using AI.Edward is most popular with Polish Boomers, its owners say, as they are excited to interact with a robot for the first time.Radosław Grzelaczyk and business partner Bartosz Idzik started in cryptocurrency, but they now try to create viral videos with their robo-friend."Personally, the sight of this robot chasing boars does not surprise me anymore," Grzelaczyk told TVP World."Older ladies or gentlemen love talking with him," Grzelaczyk added. "These people are always delighted that they lived to see times in which robots move through the streets."RELATED: China debuts 'scary' martial arts robots capable of backflips and weapons training Kevin Frayer/Getty ImagesIn China, the robots have been shown to be capable of advanced feats. Last year, they competed in a half-marathon and were showcased in February performing kung-fu, gymnastics, and weapons work.The focus during China's annual CCTV Spring Festival gala was innovation in multi-robot coordination and fault recovery, referring to a robot's ability to get up after tumbling down. China showed the robots in choreographed performances and dancing as well.Definitive warning signs of spying from Chinese robot manufacturers exist too. Axios reported on two security researchers who reported on Unitree Robotics allegedly pre-installing a backdoor on its Go1 robot dogs that allowed for customer surveillance.Other research warned about exploits that allowed for remote takeover of the humanoid bots, among other models.Neither Edward nor his owners responded to Return's request for comment.Like Blaze News?

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom probably regrets trying to pin high gas prices on Chevron after getting nuked by a community note on the X social media platform.Californians are suffering the highest gas prices in the nation as a result of the blowback from the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran as well as high state taxes and overregulation.'Dollar Tree PeeWee and his Playhouse friends weigh in again. And as usual we have to correct them.'On Thursday, Newsom suggested that the pain at the pump was solely due to profiteering by the gas companies."While America suffers, Chevron profits," the governor's press office wrote on social media.The governor's office cited a report from Chevron saying the company expected a windfall between $1.6 billion and $2.2 billion from rising gas prices from the war.The attempt to deflect from Democratic policies was completely undermined by a community note."The State of California collects more in taxes per gallon of gasoline than refineries such as Chevron, Shell or Valero collect in profit per gallon," the note read.The Automobile Association of America showed that, as of Tuesday, Californians are paying $5.88 on average for regular gas while the national average for the same is only $4.12. That comes out to be about 43% more than the national average.The U.S. Oil and Gas Association piled on the left-wing governor."Ah. Dollar Tree PeeWee and his Playhouse friends weigh in again," the organization responded."And as usual we have to correct them. The correct version reads like this. 'While California suffers, Chevron profits props us up.' Fixed it for you."RELATED: Newsom's wife explains how to raise children to 'deconstruct' 'limiting narratives' on gender Newsom is widely considered to be maneuvering to enhance his national profile in anticipation of a run for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.He has tried to redefine California as the foremost opponent of President Donald Trump's policies while admitting that his office has tried to copy the president's success on social media.Like Blaze News?

A Northern California father rushed home to protect his 5-year-old child and pregnant wife from a male stranger who was caught on the Fairfield home's doorbell camera screaming death threats and demanding that the homeowner open the door.Video from last Tuesday's terrifying incident shows the male standing on the porch of the home in the 1700 block of Burbank Court in Fairfield and talking to the homeowner through a Ring doorbell camera and demanding entry, KTVU-TV reported.'Open the door. This is my neighborhood. ... Now. Or I'll f**king end you. Do you understand me?'Fairfield is about 45 minutes southwest of Sacramento."I just want to make sure that everything's OK," the man is heard saying, the station reported. "There seems to be something going on.""What do you mean?" the homeowner replied while repeatedly asking the male to leave.The homeowner had just left his residence minutes before, KTVU said. However, he was able to observe and talk to the male stranger — and immediately returned home, police said.Things only got scarier.The male is seen on video kicking the door and shouting, "Where's your daughter? Who's in there with you? Open this f**king door, or I'm breaking it down!" KTVU said.RELATED: 'I'll kill you in the name of Allah': Knife-wielding male makes death threats in chilling driveway incident; suspect arrested Things also got downright bizarre.At one point, the male identified himself as a fictional wizard and private investigator from an urban fantasy series, the station said."My name is Harry Dresden, motherf**ker," the male is heard saying on camera. "Open the door. This is my neighborhood. ... Now. Or I will f**king end you. Do you understand me?"Soon the male pulled down a decorative doorbell, repeatedly bashed the door with it, and continued to demand to be let inside "or I'll f**king kill you," KTVU said.All the while, the homeowner's pregnant wife and 5-year-old child were inside the home, but they managed to hide in the garage, the station said.Unable to get in through the front door, the male stranger soon broke a gate and entered the home through a sliding glass door, KTVU reported.Video from inside the home shows the intruder moving through rooms and yelling, "Where the f**k is she?" the station said.But soon the homeowner is seen on video back inside his residence — and armed with a shovel. KTVU said that while video doesn't show the physical altercation between the homeowner and the intruder, a commotion can be heard.The homeowner is heard telling the intruder, "I'm giving you a chance — get the f**k out of my house," the station reported.Authorities confirmed to KTVU that a physical confrontation occurred between the intruder and the homeowner, and both sustained head injuries.Arriving officers found the intruder outside the home, and the station said he was taken to NorthBay Medical Center for treatment and later booked into the Solano County Jail.Police said they "want to recognize the actions of the homeowner, who worked to protect his family while officers were responding to the scene."Jason Nichols, 30, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, vandalism, and making criminal threats, KTVU reported, adding that police on Monday added a charge of annoying or molesting a child.The station said that during Nichols' court appearance Monday, he seemed to take issue with some of the charges as Superior Court Judge William Pendergast read the complaint.Nichols did not enter a plea, KTVU reported.Authorities would not say if Nichols was targeting any child related to the homeowner, the station said, but they did say Nichols lives behind the family's home, although the family does not know him.Nichols' bail was set at $250,000. While jail records indicate Nichols remained behind bars Tuesday afternoon, the charge of annoying or molesting a child was no longer listed among the charges against him. Nichols' next court date is scheduled for April 23.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
