270,000,000 Americans received the COVID-19 shot, with disastrous results. Beyond the millions who reported severe adverse reactions to the shot to the CDC, tens of millions more have reported prolonged negative symptoms that they just can’t seem to shake off: Brain fog Loss of appetite Anxiety & depression Constant tiredness Joint pain Reproductive problems Digestive issues Sadly, millions of Americans are living with post-vaccine symptoms and accepting them as a new reality. It doesn’t have to be this way. While government health agencies refuse to acknowledge the issue of vaccine damage to the body, freedom-fighting doctors are stepping up to restore health and save lives. Don’t normalize sickness. Dr. Peter McCullough, cardiologist and America’s leading COVID-19 expert, treats hundreds of patients in his clinic with a wide range post-vaccine symptoms. Like millions of others, these patients refuse to “normalize” their symptoms and will stop at nothing to get their health back. Says Dr. McCullough: “Far and away the most common question I get from those who took one of the COVID-19 vaccines is: ‘how do I get this out of my body?’… At three and one half years into the pandemic and two and a half years into the COVID-19 vaccine debacle, myself and my clinic partners formulated a baseline regimen upon which additional drugs or agents can be added.” A simple solution. Dr. McCullough continues, “We searched the literature for all available sources of evidence for products that can aid the human body in breaking down and catabolizing the Spike protein. We found nattokinase, which additionally has fibrinolytic properties which are advantageous in the prothrombotic milieu induced by the persistent Spike protein…  Out of all the available therapies I have used in my practice and among all the proposed detoxification agents, I believe nattokinase and related peptides hold the greatest promise for patients at this time.”  This groundbreaking discovery catalyzed Dr. McCullough to design The Wellness Company’s Spike Support Formula containing nattokinase. To-date, tens of thousands of people have tried Spike Support and the results have been nothing short of miraculous: Feeling so much better! I decided to try Spike Support after talking with a friend that recommended this product. I had 2 Covid shots because my husband has degenerative heart condition and our doctor said to get the shots. He had no side effects but I ended up with an erratic racing heart beat and had problem with ringing ears, tasting and smelling, even though I never had Covid. I have taken this product for 2 months now and noticed a difference in lots of things. No more racing heart beat, I’m smelling and tasting things better and my anxiety has subsided. – Audrey H.  Worked for me: I have taken three of the mRNA vaxxes – I’ll never take another one again. The skin on my hands peeled after the 3rd vax, especially around my nails, to the point where I had deep, bleeding, incredibly painful fissures and cracks… I am sure the vax is what caused my skin problems as well – I’d never had this before being vaxxed. Bought the Spike Support as a desperate measure. Noticed about three weeks after I started taking Spike Support, the peeling, cracks and fissures around my fingertips, and under and around my nails have not only stopped but healed up. My hands are 95% better now. I am sure the Spike Support is what stopped it. – Barbara B.  Spike protein recovery: This product has tremendously help me on recovering my heath and I highly recommend this product anyone that has long Covid or in the vaccine. – Estela M. If you or someone you love needs nattokinase, The Wellness Company’s “Spike Support Formula” contains nattokinase plus other extracts known to help the body detox from spike protein exposure – both from the vaccine and from COVID19.

Talk about a close call! A nerve-racking video that has gone viral on social media shows a young boy walking on a suspended monorail track as visitors watch on in panic. The boy appeared to wander away from his parents and ended up walking on a monorail track nearly 100 feet off the ground. Watch here: A young boy was rescued at Hersheypark theme park in Pennsylvania over the weekend after he was spotted walking along the monorail track. pic.twitter.com/Bxy7n8wT62 — ABC News (@ABC) September 1, 2025 Fox Business reported more details on the frightening incident: A frightening video taken inside Hersheypark in Pennsylvania shows a young boy balancing almost 100 feet above ground on a suspended monorail track, sparking panic among terrified onlookers. The clip, shared on TikTok, captures the small child carefully walking along the slim metal track alone as stunned guests point, shout and wave their arms in an attempt to guide him to safety. Spectators in the video can be heard urging the boy to move toward a nearby building, where a man eventually climbs up and waits on a roof to help him. “Go to him now!” one person shouted, as the man bent down to reach the boy. Confused and panicked voices can be heard in the crowd. “Stop, no—no, keep going?” some said. Eventually, the rescuer pulls the boy to safety and relief spreads through the crowd below as cheers and applause erupt. The boy was said to be later reunited with his parents, per a statement from Hersheypark. Last month, a child lost her life at Hersheypark. Girl, 9, who died at Hersheypark wave pool ID’d: ‘Sophia, brought joy and light to everyone who knew her’ https://t.co/v1cm0xgtjn pic.twitter.com/kuJVOFYRW1 — New York Post (@nypost) July 28, 2025 USA Today reported more on the tragic incident: A Pennsylvania coroner has ruled a 9-year-old girl’s drowning death at Hersheypark earlier in July an accident. “The cause of death was fresh water drowning and the manner of death was accidental,” the Dauphin County coroner said in a statement, noting the child, identified by family as Sophia Subedi, did not have a medical event that led to her death. The incident occurred on Thursday, July 24 at the Boardwalk, a park attraction featuring water slides, a lazy river and a 387,000-gallon wave pool. Lifeguards responded to girl in distress There were 100 lifeguards at the Boardwalk at the time, the park said in a news release, including 10 lifeguards tasked with watching over the wave pool. Lifeguards, first responders and medics noticed the girl was in distress and began performing life-saving measures, the company’s CEO, John Lawn, said in a written statement. A witness at the scene told WGAL one of the lifeguards attempted CPR on her while staff members tried to conceal the traumatic incident from parkgoers. The girl was taken to Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, where she was pronounced deceased. It is the first confirmed guest fatality in the park’s 118-year history.

The rot inside the Department of Justice is slowly but surely getting cleaned up. Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced she has fired a DOJ employee who reportedly flipped off a National Guard member in Washington, D.C. According to a press release, Bondi fired a paralegal at the DOJ after the woman reportedly bragged about giving the middle finger to a member of the National Guard. Fox News reported more on Bondi’s firing of the paralegal: Attorney General Pam Bondi fired another Department of Justice paralegal on Friday, this time for flipping off a member of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., on her way to work earlier this month. Elizabeth Baxter of the department’s environmental division arrived for work just after 8:20 a.m. on Aug. 18 at the DOJ’s “4CON” building in the NoMa district, where she bragged to a security guard that she had just made the gesture at Metro Center Metro Stop and told the guardsman, “F–k the National Guard,” Bondi said, according to the New York Post. “Today, I took action to terminate a DOJ employee for inappropriate conduct towards National Guard service members in DC,” Bondi told the outlet. “This DOJ remains committed to defending President Trump’s agenda and fighting to make America safe again,” she continued. “If you oppose our mission and disrespect law enforcement — you will NO LONGER work at DOJ.” Later that day, Baxter was seen on DOJ security footage sticking up her middle finger at the National Guard and exclaiming, “F–k you!” the outlet reported. She was also allegedly seen demonstrating to a department security guard how she held up her middle finger. On Aug. 25, she allegedly arrived at work and again boasted to the security guard that she hated the National Guard and that she told them to “F–k off!” BREAKING: AG Pam Bondi has terminated another DOJ employee after the paralegal, Elizabeth Baxter, flipped off a National Guard member on her way to work.

He was shortly later taken into custody. #DCCrime pic.twitter.com/DAn2GkgNZf — DMV News Live (@DCNewsLive) August 12, 2025 NBC News provided the latest details on the D.C. sandwich thrower: U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office on Thursday charged a man accused of throwing a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent in Washington, D.C., this month with misdemeanor assault, issuing the charge one day after it failed to persuade a grand jury to return a felony indictment. Sean Dunn, who Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed was a Justice Department employee at the time of the incident, was seen in a now-viral video throwing a salami sub at the immigration agent days after President Donald Trump directed an increased federal law enforcement presence in D.C. Trump framed the move as an effort to address crime in the city, despite data suggesting criminal activity was already trending downward. Prosecutors alleged in a criminal complaint that Dunn, 37, confronted federal agents stationed outside a popular nightlife area. “F— you! You f—ing fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Dunn yelled at officers before he threw a sandwich that struck a Customs and Border Protection agent in the chest, prosecutors said. Dunn tried to run away but was arrested by officers on the scene, the complaint indicated.

A few weeks ago, it was reported that Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who led the Russia collusion witch-hunt, is now living in a memory care facility. Today, his family provided an update on his condition. As it turns out, 81-year-old Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. Due to the progression of the disease, he has recently had trouble speaking. This comes as the House Oversight Committee has issued several subpoenas related to the Russia hoax, including one for Robert Mueller to testify before Congress. His family says he will be unable to testify for his scheduled deposition on September 2nd. Here’s everything we know: BREAKING: Robert Mueller’s family says he has Parkinson’s disease, preventing him from testifying before Congress over his handling of Epstein related investigations as FBI director pic.twitter.com/MTfVXrYP1K — johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) September 1, 2025 Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who led the Russia investigation into Trump’s 2016 campaign, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and cannot comply with a congressional subpoena about the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, his family reportedly says. pic.twitter.com/UuaZVd5akN — Fox News (@FoxNews) September 1, 2025 Recently, Mueller was also unable to comply with a subpoena related Congress’s ongoing Epstein investigation. Mueller’s family released a statement to The New York Times. That NYT report reads: Robert S. Mueller III, the former special counsel who investigated ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russia, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago, his family said in a statement on Sunday. In recent months, Mr. Mueller, a former F.B.I. director, has had difficulty speaking and experienced mobility issues, people familiar with his condition said. As a result, a congressional committee has withdrawn a request for Mr. Mueller to give testimony this week in its inquiry into the government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigations. “Bob was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the summer of 2021,” the family said in a statement to The New York Times. “He retired from the practice of law at the end of that year. He taught at his law school alma mater during the fall of both 2021 and 2022, and he retired at the end of 2022. His family asks that his privacy be respected.” The statement from the family came after the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said it would subpoena him to testify on Tuesday. The committee had sought to question Mr. Mueller, 81, about the F.B.I.’s handling of the Epstein investigation when he served as its director from 2001 to 2013. Now, a lot of people, including Roger Stone, are calling BS: Robert Mueller has received a subpoena to testify before a House committee. Now his family says he’s too sick to testify. This is bullshit. He should either testify or he should be arrested by Peter Navarro. Being mentally incompetent didn’t stop him from being Special Counsel.… pic.twitter.com/OxlZVDzNLW — Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) September 1, 2025 Robert Mueller has received a subpoena to testify before a House committee. Now his family says he’s too sick to testify. This is bullshit. He should either testify or he should be arrested by Peter Navarro. Being mentally incompetent didn’t stop him from being Special Counsel. Why should it stop him from testifying now that he’s busted for seditious conspiracy! While it could be the case that Mueller is just trying to weasel his way out of testifying by claiming mental incompetence, I’m not so sure that’s what’s going on here. Mueller is an old guy and he has been losing his mind for years. Anyone remember his disastrous Congressional testimony in 2019? Here’s a refresher: The New York Post noted: Concerns about Mueller’s health began in 2019 when he delivered stumbling testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill. The former FBI director, then 74, oscillated between steadfastness and mumbling, his microphone at points failing him as he struggled to be heard above the din of spectators and photographers. “I was surprised that Mr. Mueller was so disorientated,” Republican Arizona Rep. Debbie Lesko told The Post after the initial three-hour testimony wrapped up. “He was unable to answer some basic questions, which really surprised me,” she said. His Parkinson’s diagnosis came just two years later, according to his family. The disease, which typically affects people over 60, causes tremors, slowness, and speech difficulties. There is no cure, though early symptoms can be managed. Parkinson’s can advance a lot in just a few years. It’s also possible that, just like Joe Biden, Mueller’s cognition was already declining when he was appointed Special Counsel in the phony Russia investigation. Yet, they used him as the front-man for the hoax anyways. Shameful. BREAKING: The family of Robert Mueller, who furthered the Russia Collusion hoax, says he CANNOT testify to Congress due to Parkinson’s The deep state KNEW he was suffering from memory loss when they made him special counsel DOJ MUST investigate who knew, and ARREST them.… pic.twitter.com/EDLigjPXAS — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) September 1, 2025 BREAKING: The family of Robert Mueller, who furthered the Russia Collusion hoax, says he CANNOT testify to Congress due to Parkinson’s The deep state KNEW he was suffering from memory loss when they made him special counsel DOJ MUST investigate who knew, and ARREST them. Mueller was nothing but a puppet, like Joe Biden. Your thoughts? It sure seems like they are terrified of him testifying. Parkinsons AND dementia….this was just a few weeks ago: Robert Mueller Found Living In Memory Care Facility Remember Bob Mueller? Of course you do. He allegedly looked into "RussiaGate" back in 2019 and cleared the Deep State from any wrongdoing. In other words, a total whitewash of the Deep State BY the Deep State. Now Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi and Congress are unraveling this 10+ years-long criminal conspiracy and they've subpoenaed Mueller to testify before Congress. See here from Rep. James Comer: ?BREAKING?

They've done it time and time again. But in this case, I think it's probably real. Here is Mueller the last time he testified in Congress back in 2019 and he appeared to have advanced symptoms of dementia even back then: There's no way this stooge ran any investigation of any kind in 2019, he appears completely blank in the head even 6 years ago in 2019. Same old game plan every time, just use empty suits like Mueller and Biden and then kick them to the curb when no longer needed or they become a liability. Remember Joe Biden's cancer? Whatever happened to that?

Dems use dementia-ridden fools as their puppets. We saw Mueller’s dementia YEARS ago when he was… pic.twitter.com/VxRyHpEGFY — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) August 6, 2025 Here is Newsweek noting Mueller's obvious signs of dementia way back in 2019: Fox News host Mark Levin suggested, without any evidence, that he believed former special counsel Robert Mueller could have "onset dementia," criticizing his Wednesday testimony before Congress and arguing that the ex-FBI director should have never been appointed to oversee the investigation into Russian election interference. Asked during a Thursday segment of Fox News morning program Fox & Friends whether he found Mueller's reluctance and hesitation to answer questions asked by lawmakers frustrating, Levin placed his glasses on his face and let out a loud breath. "Look, I've seen people with onset dementia," the right-wing commentator said. "I'm not going to mock this man. He obviously shouldn't have been there. He should never have headed this investigation. I'm not making allegations. I'm not trying to be provocative, but the idea that [former Deputy Attorney General] Rod Rosenstein appointed this man to head this office is an outrage and he's the one who ought to be questioned about that." Levin, who hosts the weekly show Life, Liberty & Levin, argued that "everyone around Mueller knew he was incapable of doing what he did." He then attacked the former special counsel's "number two hatchet man [Andrew] Weissmann." The Fox News host accused Weissmann, who had a management role in the special counsel's investigation, of bringing in "a nest of leftists" to work as part of the probe's team. Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt jumped in after Levin finished attempting to discredit the Mueller probe, pointing out that there wasn't any evidence or reports that Mueller was in poor health. "Mark, we haven't confirmed anything about his health," she said. "There hasn't been anything released about that." Levin cut her off, saying he "agreed." However he added: "but he [Mueller] made it quite obvious." Earhardt then responded by saying Mueller wasn't "on his game," suggesting that people should "pray for" the former special counsel and his family. Mueller, 74, testified before the House Judiciary and House Intelligence committees on Wednesday about his 22-month long investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The investigation, which concluded in March, confirmed there was "sweeping and systematic" interference by Russia in an effort to favor President Donald Trump over Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Netflix appears to be following in the footsteps of Cracker Barrel and Bud Light… The streaming platform is getting a lot of backlash after its co-founder, Reed Hastings, gave a whopping $2 million to support California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s redistricting campaign. Reed Hastings, the co-founder and chairman of Netflix, has donated $2 million to back Gavin Newsom’s redistricting campaign in California. pic.twitter.com/X8CSWtrGQm — Victor Bigham (@Ravious101) August 30, 2025 This isn’t the first time Hastings has donated to a Democrat campaign. But, his donation is key to the redistricting push. Politico reported: Netflix co-founder and Democratic megadonor Reed Hastings has given $2 million to help California redraw its House maps in the latest indication of the campaign’s outsize stakes. Hastings is a stalwart supporter of Democratic causes and an ally of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has championed the push to counter Texas’ GOP gerrymander with a new map designed to oust California Republicans. He also spent $3 million to help Newsom beat back a recall attempt in 2021. A Nov. 4 special election will give Californians an up-or-down vote on new House maps, drawn in concert with national Democrats, that would help Democrats flip a half-dozen seats in next year’s midterm elections as the party seeks to neutralize Texas’ new lines. Enormous sums have already poured into both sides of a race that has thrust California into the epicenter of American politics. Labor unions, wealthy Californians and House Democrats’ super PAC have already contributed millions of dollars while an affluent independent redistricting advocate, Charles Munger, Jr., has dropped more than $10 million to defeat the measure. The campaign for Proposition 50 will lean on wealthy Democratic patrons like Hastings. Silicon Valley venture capitalist Ron Conway, a longtime ally of Newsom and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is also lending his support. Now, plenty of MAGA patriots are canceling their Netflix subscriptions in response. Take a look at these replies: After 25+ years Netflix subscription, I cancelled it. — Just Facts (@LanisterIverson) August 31, 2025 Netflix isn’t worth buying anyway. pic.twitter.com/uv5ZoxCsRx — I Love America News (@ILA_NewsX) August 31, 2025 Netflix stock is about to nosedive.

Netflix Junkie says it’s fake news: News Hour, alongside many social media pages, reported recently that Stephen Colbert had signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix, giving the streamer rights to chronicle his rise to fame in Tinseltown through a seven-episode docuseries. The claim, however, is nothing more than a hoax as there has been no confirmation of such a project, nor any indication of Colbert’s next move. The rumor, notably, follows the comedian’s much-discoursed impending farewell from CBS, leaving audiences eager to discover what is truly ensuing for him. What are your thoughts? Will you boycott Netflix for support Newsom’s redistricting plans?

Johnson showed off his weight and muscle loss as he attended the Miu Miu Women’s Tales event on Saturday night in a button-up blue shirt and black pants. He was joined by his co-star, Emily Blunt. Then on Monday, Johnson wore a short-sleeved blue shirt that he tucked into his white pants at the film’s photocall. Johnson’s skinny physique went viral on X where fans jokingly called him “The Pebble.” “He’s so lean,” one fan wrote. “Damn, he’s half of what he was!” another user said. “Wow nice transformation,” a different person wrote. In “The Smashing Machine,” Johnson plays UFC and MMA legend Kerr, who battled prescription drug addiction. Blunt, 42, plays Kerr’s now-ex-wife, Dawn Staples. At the film’s press conference Monday afternoon, Johnson explained that he’s been waiting for a role this rewarding for a long time. “When you’re in Hollywood — as we all know, it had become about box office. And you chase the box office, and the box office can be very loud and it can become very resounding and it can push you into a category and into a corner,” he explained. “This is your lane and this is what you do and this is what Hollywood wants you to do.” “I just had this burning desire and voice that was saying, ‘What if there is more and what if I can?’ A lot of times, it’s harder for us — or at least for me — to know what you’re capable of when you’ve been pigeonholed into something,” the “Jumanji” star continued. “Sometimes it takes people that who you love and respect, like Emily and Benny, to say that you can.” Johnson went on: “I looked around a few years ago and I started to think, you know, am I living my dream or am I living other people’s dreams? You come to that recognition and I think you can either fall in line — ‘Well, it’s status quo, things are good, I don’t want to rock the boat’ — or go, I want to live my dreams now and do what I wanna do and tap into the stuff that I want to tap into and have a place finally to put all this stuff that I’ve experienced in the past that I’ve shied away from.” Nice look and all, happy for him…. But I actually was wondering something else. Where did all that money go that you raised for Maui? Can we get an update on that please? I’m not saying anyone did anything wrong, I’m just saying I never really heard what happened from all of this? Oprah and the Rock Face Outrage Over Misleading Maui Relief Fund Oprah and “The Rock” Need YOUR Money Right Now Please! Oprah Winfrey, who is estimated to have a net worth of around $2.5 BILLION, is asking the public to donate to Maui. The woman who bought over 1,000 acres of land in Maui is asking YOU for money... To kick off her fundraiser with Dwayne Johnson, they have donated $10 million to the relief. Promoting that anyone in Maui who needs it will receive $1,200/month. More from USA Today: "Every adult resident (18 and over) who lives in the affected area and was displaced by the wildfires in Lahaina and Kula is eligible to receive $1,200 per month to help them through this period of recovery," Thursday's announcement read. "All net proceeds will go to those directly impacted in Maui." The iconic show host, a part-time Hawaii resident, and the wrestler-turned-action-star have donated $10 million to the fund. Johnson, who is Samoan, also lived in Hawaii when he was growing up. Winfrey and Johnson announced their effort Thursday on Instagram in a video in which Winfrey shared that the two were texting about what to do. Winfrey said she was inspired by an article about Dolly Parton giving money to her community, and the idea of the fund was born. Winfrey has been giving updates from Maui on her website Oprah Daily. In an Aug. 13 post she wrote of the "incredible people" she's met at shelters, including a man named Julius whose "legs were covered in bandages where he had to run to escape the fire." Listen. I am happy that they are giving this money to the Hawaiian people. But why are they asking Americans? Who are already struggling over a recession? To donate money. It's especially ironic coming from Oprah, who has such a MASSIVE net worth.

Meta billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan pledged a $400,000 donation to the Hawaii Community Foundation. Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancee launched a $100 million fund in support of Maui residents. Bob Parsons’ golf brand previously donated $1 million to a disaster relief organization when news about the wildfires spread. Workday co-founder and CEO emeritus David Duffield is reportedly working with the Maui Humane Society. Billionaire CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang donated to local relief funds, according to The Verge. Billionaire Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff told Yahoo Finance that the company donated $1 million to an organization that provides meals after natural disasters. But real-estate billionaire Neil Bluhm, billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and billionaire investor Peter Thiel—all who own property in Hawaii—have not come forward about any donations for wildfire relief.

Here's one: https://twitter.com/zerodarktony_og/status/1654339967345369088 And here's the other: Heartbreaking news for Dwayne Johnson fans. https://t.co/Tzp3LxIo3Q — DisneyDining.com (@DisDining_com) May 5, 2023 And here's more in this video: https://www.tiktok.com/@rebeliousone1/video/7225736786868227370?q=dwayne%20johnson&t=1683137286086 So....is it true? Well, kind of. This is one of the rare times where I think Snopes gets their "Fact Check" correct. Basically, the lawsuit does appear to be real...but that doesn't make it valid. Not only does the lawsuit name Johnson but it also names 23 other Defendants as co-conspirators, including Eminem, Naomi Campbell, and Michael Jordan. Does that pass your smell test? Here's the full write up from Snopes: In April 2023, claims began to spread online that actor and former wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had been named as a defendant in a $3 billion kidnapping lawsuit. The most prominent post we found about the claims on social media appeared on TikTok on April 24, 2023. It went viral on the platform, with the video receiving over 675,000 views at the time of publication. The person in the video claimed: We also found posts about the lawsuit that mentioned Johnson on Reddit and Twitter. In addition, a post on a Facebook fan page for Johnson was posted the day before the viral TikTok video. The Facebook post had over 3,900 reactions at the time of this writing. It is true that Johnson was named in the lawsuit. We reached out to his manager for comment and will update this fact check if we hear back. Using the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) service, we found the lawsuit was first filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, on Oct. 8, 2022. That court presides over federal cases in the counties of New York, Bronx, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, and Sullivan. (We have included the full court document at the bottom of this fact check.) At the time of this writing, the date of last filing in the case docket was March 1, 2023, when the order that granted In Forma Pauperis (IFP) status was mailed to the plaintiff's address. (A docket is a document that lists all papers filed and actions taken in a legal case. The Latin phrase stands for "in the form of a pauper" and is generally granted when applicants show they do not have the resources to pay the filing fee, according to the District Court's website.) The proceedings calendar for the court during the week of May 1, 2023, did not include the case. When we reached out to the court for comment about any further legal actions, the help desk referred us to the case's docket. In the document, the plaintiff asked for relief in the amount of $3 billion. Johnson was one of hundreds of defendants listed in the lawsuit. In total, the list of defendants spanned 23 pages — including celebrities such as Eminem, Naomi Campbell, and Michael Jordan, as well as companies like Verizon, Bank of America, and Universal Studios, and law-enforcement agencies like the FBI, Dona Ana County New Mexico Sheriff, and Las Cruces Police Department in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The plaintiffs in the court case were listed as a former professional wrestler and her two minor children. The woman previously wrestled for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, a professional wrestling promotion company known as Impact Wrestling at the time of publication. The court documents stated that the plaintiffs were representing themselves pro se, meaning they were legally representing themselves. We reached out to an Instagram account that appeared to belong to the woman for further comment. In a timeline included in the court document, the woman claimed that her ex-husband stalked her and her two children across state lines when he was on active probation for family violence against her. The timeline stated that her ex-husband had the assistance of law enforcement in stalking her, ultimately abducting her and her two children from a New York domestic violence shelter. The timeline also stated that her children had remained kidnapped since 2019. Johnson was not named in the timeline. A statement of facts at the beginning of the lawsuit didn't directly name Johnson, but did claim that the defendants named in the lawsuit collectively conspired to kidnap her and her children. According to Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute, conspiracy is "an agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal act, along with an intent to achieve the agreement's goal." In order to prove conspiracy in most U.S. jurisdictions, an overt act, or an action that shows someone has committed a crime, is also required. Claims Made About Johnson Related to the Lawsuit The TikTok referenced above also included footage that claimed Johnson had appeared on "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) as himself saying he had created a "child molesting robot." The TikTok also claimed Johnson had said that he "ate children" in an interview. Another TiKTok also linked to the SNL sketch and the lawsuit. It is true that Johnson appeared in a "Saturday Night Live" sketch titled "World's Most Evil Invention" that aired on May 20, 2017. In the sketch, he played a mad scientist named Roy who created a child-molesting robot. The other claim (that Johnson said he ate children) came from an interview Johnson did to promote his movie "Skyscraper" with the movie's director Rawson Marshall Thurber, Indonesian entertainer Deddy Corbuzier, and his son in 2018. The Jakarta News reported that Corbuzier asked about what Johnson's secret was after noting his body looked very large. (We translated the article, which was originally in Indonesian, using Google Translate.) Disney blog Inside the Magic also wrote about the lawsuit, publishing a post titled, "Dwayne Johnson Axed From Disney Franchise Amid $3 Billion Lawsuit," linking the lawsuit to the claim that Johnson would not be joining the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. However, there is no evidence that Johnson had ever joined the franchise in the first place, or that the lawsuit had anything to do with his potential participation, or lack thereof. Reputable publications would have reported that news if it had happened, as they did in April 2023 when he announced he would be heavily involved in the "Moana" live-action remake as a producer, as well as reprising his role as Maui from the original film. Also, Inside the Magic's own blog post noted that neither Johnson nor Disney confirmed he was involved in the reboot of the franchise. So, while I think the lawsuit looks fairly bogus, I'm not a big fan either. Nope. Who thinks this is funny? I don't: And why is he always flashing the devil horns? https://twitter.com/invertyoureyes/status/1615180705666834432 https://twitter.com/invertyoureyes/status/1616207706855206913 Do you like him? I'm not a fan.
