Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley received an endorsement on Tuesday from the political network founded by the Koch brothers. Americans for Prosperity Action said that it was time for the country to “turn the page on the past‚” warning that “Donald Trump and Joe Biden will only further perpetuate the country’s downward spiral in politics.” The New York Times noted that Americans for Prosperity Action has been “among the country’s largest spenders on anti-Trump material this year‚ buying online ads and sending mailers to voters in several states‚ including Iowa‚ New Hampshire and South Carolina.” The super PAC released an ad that called Haley a “bold leader” and said that she would “deliver on her promises.” “I’m honored to have the support of @AFPAction ‚ including its millions of grassroots members all across the country‚” Haley wrote on X. “This election is a choice between freedom &; socialism‚ individual liberty &; big government‚ fiscal responsibility &; spiraling debt. We have a country to save.” The vast financial resources that the super PAC has will help boost Haley’s ground operation in early primary states where she “does not have the organizational strength” of her chief opponent‚ Florida Governor Ron DeSantis‚ the report said. The endorsement from the Koch network will give Haley “access to a direct-mail operation‚ field workers to knock on doors and people making phone calls to prospective voters in Iowa and beyond‚” the Times said‚ adding that the group will spend heavily in television ads. The other super PAC backing Haley‚ Stand for America‚ has spent millions attacking DeSantis while avoiding attacking former President Donald Trump‚ who currently leads the primary field. Americans for Prosperity Action mostly promotes libertarian and conservative policies that support limited government and free market economics and generally aligns with more traditional establishment Republicans. The group has taken some heat for their support of criminal justice reform policies and for their opposition to hardline policies cracking down on illegal immigration. The DeSantis Campaign issued a statement “congratulating” Trump over the Koch endorsement of Haley. “Congratulations to Donald Trump on securing the Koch endorsement‚” said Communications Director Andrew Romeo. “Like clockwork‚ the pro-open borders‚ pro-jail break bill establishment is lining up behind a moderate who has no mathematical pathway of defeating the former president. Every dollar spent on Nikki Haley’s candidacy should be reported as an in-kind to the Trump campaign. No one has a stronger record of beating the establishment than Ron DeSantis‚ and this time will be no different.”

The judge overseeing Richard Allen’s murder trial and the Indiana attorney general have asked the state Supreme Court to deny a petition that would reinstate Allen’s original defense attorneys and remove the judge from the case. Judge Fran Gull and Attorney General Todd Rokita‚ a Republican‚ have filed a response to a petition from attorneys not directly affiliated with the case‚ who asked the Indiana Supreme Court to replace Gull. Gull and Rokita argue in their response that the petition should be rejected because it fails to meet proper requirements‚ Scripps News reported. Gull and Rokita wrote that the petition from the attorneys was inappropriate‚ and that Allen should have appealed the withdrawal of his original defense team‚ which he hasn’t done. The judge and AG also argued that Allen didn’t express a “clear and unquestioned” right to reinstate his attorneys‚ while saying his Sixth Amendment rights were not violated. Gull argued that it was those rights she was protecting when she removed Andrew Baldwin and Brad Rozzi as Allen’s original defense attorneys following a leak of sensitive case material from Baldwin’s office. A former employee of Baldwin’s has been charged over that leak. Gull also argued that Rozzi and Baldwin jeopardized the case by failing to report the leak in a timely fashion‚ not safeguarding case materials‚ and making statements that could prejudice the case and providing false information to the court. Earlier this month‚ attorneys Mark Leeman and Cara Wieneke filed a Writ of Mandus arguing that Allen‚ who is accused of killing two teenage girls‚ has had his rights violated by Judge Gull‚ Fox 59 reported. In particular‚ the two point to Allen’s right to a speedy trial and Gull’s alleged bias against the defense. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP Allen‚ 51‚ is accused of murdering 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German in a case that has attracted national attention. Allen’s original court-assigned attorneys‚ Baldwin and Rozzi‚ withdrew from the case in late October – the circumstances of which form part of the basis for Leeman and Wieneke’s filing. Attorneys Leeman and Weineke asked the Supreme Court to install a new judge. In addition‚ Leeman and Weineke argued that replacing the original attorneys violated Allen’s constitutional right to a speedy trial‚ as the trial was initially set to begin in January 2024 but now won’t start until mid-October 2024. Baldwin and Rozzi had already filed a brief with the Indiana Supreme Court to investigate Judge Gull’s handling of the case. For his part‚ Allen wrote in a letter that he wanted Baldwin and Rozzi to represent him. “I want Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Rozzi to continue to represent me until this case is resolved‚ one way or the other. I believe they are acting in a manner that is in my best interest‚” he wrote in his letter to Gull. Allen‚ a CVS worker and father‚ is accused of forcing Abby and Libby off of a trail they were hiking and into a wooded area‚ where he allegedly killed them both. The defense team‚ however‚ said the girls were killed by “[m]embers of a pagan Norse religion‚ called Odinism‚ hijacked by white nationalists.” “Richard Allen has zero connections to any pagan cult or pagan cultists‚ and furthermore no forensic evidence (such as DNA) or electronic evidence links Richard Allen to the girls or to the crime scene – i.e.‚ he is a completely innocent man‚” they wrote.

The Left and Hollywood don’t want any part of films that criticize radical gender theory because transgenderism has become the pinnacle of their religion‚ Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing said Tuesday.  Boreing joined Patrick Bet-David on the PBD Podcast Tuesday morning‚ where they discussed The Daily Wire’s venture into entertainment with the trailer for its first-ever feature-length comedy “Lady Ballers” coming out on Monday. “Lady Ballers” mocks the recent and controversial phenomenon of men competing in women’s sports and is being described as the “most triggering comedy of the year.” Bet-David said the movie looks “very good‚” and Boreing was asked about the possibility of “Lady Ballers” screening in theaters if it has a successful debut on DailyWire+.  Boreing‚ the film’s director‚ said “it won’t” go to theaters because Hollywood doesn’t want to touch a film that criticizes radical gender theory.  “This is the religious issue of our time for the Left‚” The Daily Wire co-founder said. “This represents the culmination of their religious beliefs‚ so when we went to theatrical distributors‚ [they] were not even going to engage in the conversation.”  “I think the film would do very well in theaters; in fact‚ I think that it would outkick its coverage in theaters because right now‚ theaters are in trouble‚” Boreing continued. “Disney bombed at the box office this weekend. Almost every film since the pandemic has done poorly at the box office with precious few exceptions.”  .@patrickbetdavid asks @JeremyDBoreing if #LadyBallers would ever be in theaters Jeremy: "That movie ain't going to no theaters…One of the top agents at UTA came to us years ago…and said‚ 'Hey‚ we'd love to work with you guys…The only thing is‚ you've got to back off this… pic.twitter.com/zgoD4Z8NEB — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) November 28‚ 2023 After The Daily Wire delved into filmmaking‚ Boreing said that a top agent at the United Talent Agency (UTA)‚ which represents actors and artists in the entertainment industry‚ said it was interested in working with The Daily Wire.  Boreing said the agent told him there was a good opportunity to work together‚ but he had one stipulation‚ telling Boreing‚ “You gotta back off this trans issue.” The UTA agent added that he doesn’t care where the company stands of political issues such as abortion‚ taxes‚ and who to vote for‚ but asked The Daily Wire to stop addressing transgenderism‚ according to Boreing.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Lady Ballers” tells the story of one down-on-his-luck former high school basketball coach‚ Rob‚ who will do anything to win — which in this case means teaching his team of men radical modern gender theory and leading them to identify as women in order to brutally dominate multiple women’s sports. The movie will be available to DailyWire+ members beginning this Friday‚ December 1‚ at 8:00 p.m. EST. Hollywood won't make a movie about how laughably absurd it is that we now allow grown men to call themselves women and then dominate women's sports. So we did.

An Australian judge is ordering two media outlets to pay American economist Peter Schiff more than half a million dollars for defaming him. It’s the latest fallout in a bizarre scandal in which the IRS and the governments of five other countries joined together to target Schiff‚ a frequent guest on conservative media‚ with the “biggest tax evasion investigation in the world.” Despite poring over every detail of a bank he ran in Puerto Rico‚ authorities failed to come up with a single charge. But government agents apparently leaked the existence of the investigation to the New York Times and Australian media outlets The Age and 60 Minutes‚ both of which are owned by Australian media giant Nine. The journalists took Schiff’s advocacy for low-tax policies as evidence that he would break existing tax law. The media reporting on the unfounded investigation led to a series of calamities for the bank‚ culminating in it being shuttered by a Puerto Rican regulator — with the IRS falsely taking credit for the closure and suggesting it was because of money laundering and tax evasion‚ even though its investigation substantiated neither of the charges. Tax agents appeared to work closely with the media on that infamous press conference. The New York Times learned that the bank was being shuttered‚ purportedly because of the criminal probe dubbed “Operation Atlantis‚” before Schiff did. Officials may have violated the law by disclosing the existence of a grand jury to reporters. But with little recourse against the U.S. government‚ Schiff sued the journalists who seemed to be in cahoots with the agents in Australian court. He named The Age‚ 60 Minutes‚ as well as two reporters — Charlotte Grieve and Nick McKenzie — who worked on an over-the-top video segment as well as an article. An Australian judge ruled that the television segment was defamatory‚ but the article was not. The Australian journalists strongly suggested that Schiff was guilty of money laundering and tax evasion crimes‚ and that the case showed the need for more financial regulation. The story came as some Australian politicos were pushing a law that would give the government new powers to monitor people’s money — Schiff was made to be the poster-child villain. Discovery in the lawsuit gave insight into the inner workings of major media outlets and suggested that they were determined to make Schiff’s bank‚ Euro Pacific‚ play such a narrative role. Interview notes and transcripts showed that their own sources often told them that Schiff’s bank was rigorously compliant. Then they used fast-cut editing to give the impression the witnesses said the opposite. The Australian 60 Minutes segment suggested that Schiff’s Euro Pacific Bank opened accounts for money launderers‚ tax evaders‚ and criminals‚ and that it was attractive because it did little to vet its clients. But when Grieve asked one confidential source‚ a former customer‚ what opening an account was like‚ he said “it took weeks and weeks and weeks.” “They were just so careful about making sure who they were dealing with‚ I’ve never come across anything like it‚” the source said‚ according to interview notes disclosed in a court filing. Another 60 Minutes source‚ an anonymous former bank employee‚ said “in terms of [anti-money laundering]‚ they seemed to be strong. I personally didn’t experience a situation where something out of place was going on.” Another former employee told her that if a prospective customer told them they wanted to evade taxes‚ it was “good luck with that buddy‚ but you ain’t getting an account at this bank.” The documents also show that Grieve attempted to open an account with a financial services company owned by Schiff‚ and she was rejected as part of the bank’s following of regulations. The journalists secured an interview with Schiff by lying about their intentions‚ then took the existence of an investigation into the bank as proof of its guilt. “I’m putting to you that your bank has accounts for organized crime figures‚” McKenzie told him. “Then I have the basis of a lawsuit against you. So are you in fact telling me right now that you know for a fact that this crime syndicate is utilizing Euro Pacific Bank?” Schiff replied. “I’m the journalist here. I’m asking the questions here‚ sir‚” McKenzie said. “Why is it the tax authorities in Australia‚ the United Kingdom‚ Canada‚ America‚ and the Netherlands all believe your bank is facilitating tax evasion and serious organized crime? … It’s a fact that organized crime‚ tax evaders‚ fraudsters are using your bank‚” he added. The 60 Minutes segment leaned heavily on a former IT employee‚ John Ogilvie‚ who was quoted disparaging the bank. But in the transcript of his full interview‚ it was clear his only grievance was an unrelated personality clash with a manager. “Money laundering‚ links to organized crime. Did you see any?” a journalist asked. “I didn’t see any of that‚” Ogilvie said. The efforts to tie Schiff’s bank to criminals were so weak that the journalists resorted to hounding someone who was once questioned by police in Thailand‚ but was never arrested or charged with anything‚ and who later used an EUP account for prosaic expenses. That’s despite the customer telling them that EUP vetted him thoroughly and there was no reason they would have‚ or should have‚ known about his brief interaction with police in Thailand. Last week‚ the media outlets filed for an emergency injunction to prevent the public from seeing what their interviewees actually said in full. But they withdrew it after the judge hinted that it would cause him to put on the record his view of their journalism ethics‚ and that it would not go well for them‚ a transcript showed. Days after the judge entered the defamation damages order‚ McKenzie was given one of Australia’s top journalism awards‚ with the Walkley Foundation also naming a new investigative journalism award after him. Grieve also won a journalism award for her coverage of Schiff’s bank. Related: ‘The Government Can Destroy Anyone’: How An IRS-Led Global Alliance Ruined An Innocent American Banker In a statement to The Daily Wire‚ Nine Media was unrepentant‚ saying “60 Minutes accepts that the Federal Court found the program conveyed meanings that were not intended by the program‚ noting the barriers posed by the current state of defamation law in Australia to important public interest journalism. The Euro Pacific Bank was the target of the world’s largest tax evasion probe” and “was suspended in 2022 amid catastrophic regulatory failures.” The Puerto Rican regulator said at a bizarre June 2022 press conference that the bank was being taken from Schiff and turned over to a trustee because it was “critically insolvent.” But weeks later‚ the trustee it appointed said that the opposite was true‚ writing “as of June 30‚ 2022‚ Euro Pacific had an excess cash position to cover all deposits.” At the press conference‚ the regulator was forced to clarify that “The action is not based on claims of money laundering or other financial crimes”after the IRS’ Chief of Criminal Investigation‚ Jim Lee‚ flew to Puerto Rico to try to take credit and spin its failed investigation as a success. “In January of 2020‚ each of the J5 countries participated in a global coordinated day of action to put a stop to the suspected facilitation of offshore tax evasion and money laundering by a suspected bank in Puerto Rico‚” Lee said. “The operation from the J5 was dubbed Operation Atlantis‚ and the bank was Euro Pacific Bank.” Despite having just said Schiff’s bank was being investigated‚ he hid behind ethics to refuse to clear Schiff’s name by saying the failed investigation was now closed. When a reporter asked “Is Peter Schiff being investigated?” Lee said. “I’m not at liberty to disclose who’s being investigated.” In an interview‚ Schiff told The Daily Wire that the circus showed how the government works with apparatchik media to destroy those who question its ideology. He said the fact that Lee stated that his bank was the target of an investigation at the press conference bolstered the notion that it was IRS that previously illegally leaked the probe to the media. “If the IRS didn’t leak it or even was mad that it was leaked‚ why did Jim Lee confirm it at a press conference?” he asked. He said that criminal investigators were unable to find a single thing to charge him with‚ then decided to deal a death sentence to the bank through the media anyway. Many customers and business partners fled the bank because of the publicity. “If it’s the subject of the largest tax investigation in history‚ then if they would have found the slightest infraction that normally they would have looked the other way‚ they would have brought that charge. But the bank was so clean that they couldn’t find a single thing‚” he said. The Daily Wire asked the IRS if it could point to any convictions from Operation Atlantis–even of minor customers of the bank–and it declined to say. Schiff said at the moment Puerto Rico shut the bank down‚ he could have refunded all of the bank’s customers on the spot‚ but that nearly 18 months after the government took over — purportedly to look out for those customers — no one has received a dime of the $65 million in deposits. That’s partly because the government of Portugal put a freeze on some assets‚ apparently because of the negative publicity and the ambiguous nature of the press conference. Schiff said the IRS must be held accountable‚ and that if it would do this to someone with his resources‚ it could do it to anyone. But the accountability from media outlets is a good first step‚ he said‚ and people should be shocked at how what they see on TV actually comes together. “All the information at [Nine] had from their own investigation confirmed that our compliance was very strong‚ yet they ignored it‚” he said. “There’s no pushback or questioning from the editors‚ it’s just putting it on the air.”

The body of a missing man has been found in the ventilation system of a Michigan community college after a “foul odor” was reported to authorities. Jason Anthony Thompson‚ 36‚ hadn’t been seen by his family since October 25 and reported him missing to the Sterling Heights Police Department on November 1‚ NBC News reported. On Sunday‚ police found his body in the ventilation system at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts‚ a building on the Macomb Community College’s campus‚ after someone reported a “foul odor” to authorities. “There is no reason to suspect foul play‚” college police Chief William Leavens said‚ according to NBC. “At this point‚ it is important to remember that this an ongoing investigation‚ with the goal to understand the circumstances.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP Thompson was not affiliated with the college‚ and police are investigating how he ended up in the ventilation system‚ the Detroit Free Press reported. Police have so far offered no speculation as to how Thompson died or how long he had been in the ventilation system. College police are waiting on the Macomb County medical examiner to determine a cause of death. “The college community extends heartfelt condolences during this difficult time to Mr. Thompson’s family and friends‚” college spokesperson Jeanne M. Nicol told NBC.

Billionaire venture capitalist Mark Cuban announced he’s leaving the hit ABC reality series‚ “Shark Tank‚” after season 16. The 65-year-old owner of the Dallas Mavericks made the revelation during an episode of the Showtime podcast‚ “All The Smoke‚” per Deadline.  “It’s time‚” Cuban said of his decision to move on from the series. He’s been one of the main investors on the show for most of its run after appearing as a guest star in season 2. “Shark Tank” has been popular since it premiered in 2009. The series‚ which was created by Mark Burnett‚ allows hopeful entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas to the “sharks” in hopes of getting an investment. The other longtime shark investors on the show include Barbara Corcoran‚ Lori Greiner‚ Robert Herjavec‚ Daymond John‚ and Kevin O’Leary.  “I love it because it sends the message the American Dream is alive and well‚” Cuban told the podcast hosts. “I feel like in doing ‘Shark Tank’ all these years‚ we’ve trained multiple generations of entrepreneurs that if somebody can come from Iowa or Sacramento or wherever‚ and show up on the carpet of Shark Tank and show their business and get a deal‚ it’s going to inspire generations of kids.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP He continued‚ “That’s what happens‚ right? Now we’ve got people coming on saying I watched you when I was 10 years old. I’m like‚ f***. But we’re helping them right? I’ve invested in‚ I don’t know how many hundreds of companies. On a cash basis‚ I’m down a little bit‚ but on mark to market meeting‚ the companies are still in operation. I’m way up.” In response to a question about how he determines what makes a good investment on “Shark Tank‚” Cuban said much of it comes down to the person more than the product. “I just listen to them. You can just tell‚” the billionaire businessman said. “Body language matters‚ the harder they have to try to sell‚ the worse the deal … when someone walks in ‘Shark Tank‚’ you can tell if they are trying too hard. I have this rule: the longer the back story‚ the worse the deal. The minute you start telling me how hard it was for you‚ it’s hard for every motherf***ing entrepreneur‚ tell me about your business‚ tell me why you are going to be successful.” “I look for ideas like‚ damn‚ why didn’t I think of that‚” Cuban added.

If you love penguins‚ your bucket list should include a trip to the Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland‚ primarily for their penguin parade. Although many “penguin parades” exist worldwide‚ the original penguin parade began at the Edinburgh Zoo. The year was 1951‚ and a zookeeper accidentally left a gate open. While continuing his duties‚ he noticed a gentoo penguin following him. History Of The Edinburgh Zoo Penguin Parade As an experiment‚ the gate was left open as the zookeeper continued his daily routine. Before long‚ there was a single-file line of penguins following behind. And thus was born the Edinburgh Zoo penguin parade. The penguins enjoy the “escape” from their habitat and a brisk walk around the zoo. Image from YouTube. Participation in the now daily Penguin parade is entirely voluntary. Some days‚ they choose to walk‚ and other days‚ they remain within their enclosure. The Edinburgh Zoo has three types of penguin colonies: King‚ Gentoo‚ and Rockhopper. The zoo has operated since 1913‚ and penguins have always been important to the zoo staff. The zoo also does special occasion parades‚ such as a Star Wars Day parade. On this particular day‚ May 4th‚ the penguins did an “Imperial March” to the Star Wars theme. As technology continues to improve‚ there are more ways to watch the penguins‚ even if you can’t see them in person. A series of webcams allow you to see live activity from several of the animal habitats. The penguin enclosure is Penguin Rock‚ which is currently home to over one hundred penguins. Image from YouTube. Penguins can be mischievous‚ and one penguin is forbidden from participating in the parade. Liz‚ the penguin keeper‚ stated‚ “You may spot Kevin‚ our naughtiest penguin‚ who has a lifetime ban from the penguin parade for pecking at our visitors!” How To Watch The Edinburgh Zoo Penguins Whether you can make an in-person trip or enjoy the penguins on the live webcam‚ we are sure you will be all smiles. These little critters will waddle right into your heart! You can watch the Edinburgh Zoo penguin parade below: You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
