The expertise and opinions of celebrities are as valid as a drunk spewing politics as he’s falling off his stool at a local burp and fart bar. They’ve been lecturing us for years. When will they finally get the memo that Americans outside their elitist class are too busy trying to put food on the table to care about whatever woke cause they shove down our throats? Tune into this episode of “Woke of the Weak” to watch some of our celebrities’ most insufferable moments.

Tremont City Police Chief Chad Duncan says Springfield, Ohio, has fallen into "absolute turmoil" since the arrival of approximately 20,000 Haitian nationals.Blaze News' Julio Rosas returned to Tremont City, located approximately eight miles outside Springfield, this week to speak with local officials and residents to learn their perspective on the impact of the new arrivals. 'They're allowing them to drive.'Duncan told Rosas that Springfield has descended into lawlessness and that he is concerned it is spreading to nearby towns, including Tremont City."You've got a city that's in absolute turmoil," he said, referring to Springfield. "Everybody's against everybody."One of Duncan's most significant concerns is the increase in traffic accidents caused by Haitian drivers, who often are not licensed to operate vehicles, he said. He told Blaze News that Tremont City law enforcement is doing everything possible to crack down on the potentially deadly crashes but noted that Springfield appears to be protecting Haitian nationals from facing any real consequences for reckless driving."People that shouldn't be driving, they're out there and they're allowing them to drive," Duncan remarked. Duncan told Rosas about a recent traffic stop he conducted involving a Haitian national."He didn't even have a license," he said.According to Duncan, the driver was speeding through Tremont City, going 44 mph in a 25 mph zone.He said it was the second time over a two-week period that he pulled the driver over and had the individual's car towed.Rosas asked Duncan whether Springfield would have towed the vehicle in that instance."No," he replied.Duncan speculated that Springfield may be softening or avoiding reckless driving consequences for Haitian nationals to protect them from deportation."If you get two misdemeanors, you are subject to be deported," he told Blaze News.Duncan added that his access to Springfield's police radio frequency has been cut off since the city started attracting national attention over the impacts of the immigrant crisis."We were able to hear them on the radio. They have decided to go silent. We don't know what's going on in the city," Duncan said.When asked why he believes the city has made it hard to communicate, Duncan speculated that the Springfield police turned off the ability for others to hear their radio communications to obstruct any outside monitoring of their actions and, thereby, having to answer for those actions.Duncan noted that there was reportedly a recent threat at a school that he was unable to hear over the radio."I just caught wind of it from another chief that's right next to the city," he said. Duncan explained that the city's leaders should have handled the influx of Haitian nationals differently."If they had taken the time, instead of worrying about the elites lining their pockets, and just took the time, this could have went so much smoother and been so much more beneficial to everybody involved," Duncan stated.When asked how he believes the situation will turn out, he responded, "I really don't know what the end result will be. But right now, it's not good."Blaze News attempted to reach out to the Springfield Police Division for comment multiple times, but the department did not answer its non-emergency phone line, which provides no option to leave a voicemail.

The Seattle Police Department will no longer send out patrol units in response to security alarm calls unless they are accompanied by "supporting evidence."On September 13, Seattle interim police Chief Sue Rahr issued a letter explaining that the department regularly receives a barrage of calls from alarm monitoring companies, and only a tiny fraction of them correspond to actual criminal activity. The vast majority of cases are simply accidental sensor trips or equipment malfunctions, she said.'There is a better way.'To demonstrate, Rahr claimed that SPD received 13,000 such alarm calls for businesses and residences in 2023 alone. Of them, fewer than 4% "were confirmed to have a crime associated with them that resulted in an arrest or report being written," she wrote.Staffing shortages have forced SPD officials to rethink their response protocols. Beginning October 1, SPD will dispatch a patrol unit only when "supporting evidence" — including audio, video, eyewitnesses, and/or a concomitant panic alarm — indicates that a crime is underway."With depleted resources we cannot prioritize a patrol response when there is a very low probability that criminal activity is taking place," Rahr said."Our highest priority is responding to violent in-progress incidents that threaten the safety of our communities."Rahr's letter clarified that the new policy will not alter existing licensing and reporting requirements for alarm system monitoring companies as defined in the city municipal code.The new policy will affect approximately 75,000 alarm sites, KOMO reported.Representatives from some alarm companies expressed dismay about the policy change, claiming it will especially endanger children and businesses such as banks, pharmacies, and gun stores that carry items coveted by burglars. They were also frustrated that they have been given so little time to prepare for the change."The verified response policy has been tried and rejected numerous times including by cities such as Dallas, Texas, and San Jose, California. It goes against best practices established through a collaborative effort by the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriff’s Association," said a statement from Washington Alarm."Our industry supports the police and agrees that they need to conserve resources. But there is a better way."Steve Autio of ADI Global Distribution agreed that the new policy will "make the city even less safe."He also wishes the department had reached out to the alarm companies before sending the letter. "We can work together with the police department to come up with other ideas," Autio told My Northwest.Members of some companies are expected to attend city council meetings this week to voice their concerns.H/T: The Post MillennialLike Blaze News?

Last week on September 17, Sean "Diddy" Combs, commonly known in the music industry as P. Diddy or Puff Daddy, was arrested and charged with a slew of crimes, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper and producer is widely being referred to as the Epstein of Hollywood because, like Epstein, Diddy threw massive sex parties during which he forced guests to engage in sexual activities with prostitutes while being filmed. Now that Diddy has been denied bail, other Hollywood stars are making suspicious moves, many of them going on a “social media scrubbing spree.” “Blaze News Tonight’s” Jill Savage and “Fearless” host Jason Whitlock discuss the situation. Currently, Diddy is “locked up in a Brooklyn penitentiary where he reportedly was put on suicide watch,” says Jill. Naturally, many are wondering whether or not Diddy will “wind up being Epsteined.” The other big question is: Who are his co-conspirators? Like the mysterious Epstein list, certainly there are a number of elites on the list of those complicit in Diddy’s crimes, but who are they? While no others have been arrested yet, “there are Hollywood heavyweights who are apparently spooked.” One of those people is singer, rapper, and producer Usher, whose “posts vanished off X, only for him to make the excuse later that he was hacked.” Another Hollywood star who scrubbed her social media accounts is punk singer P!nk. Apparently, several of her posts “were 86ed,” says Jill. However, “one of the creepiest moments in the saga” actually occurred back in 2016 when Usher was on “The Howard Stern Show” and recounted his wild days living at Diddy’s. When Usher was just 14, he was apparently sent off to “Puffy Flavor Camp” to “see the lifestyle.” “There were very curious things taking place,” Usher said in the interview before listing specific celebrities he saw at Diddy’s infamous parties, including Biggie Smalls, Lil’ Kim, Craig Mack, Faith Evans, the band Jodeci, and Mary J. Blige, among others. Jason has known that the rap music industry is corrupt to the core for decades now. “It's been my argument for many years — and it's all come to fruition — that the music industry is satanic; it's a sex cult, and as it relates to hip-hop, its role is to instill, impart, make the culture more nihilistic, and Diddy is at the head of that,” he explains. Now that Diddy has been officially arrested and charged, Jason says that “a lot of people should be nervous — a lot of Hollywood people, a lot of athletes, a lot of the A-list celebrities.” Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson can’t help but be suspicious about the timing, however. “Why is he getting in trouble now?” he asks, noting that illegal things happen at debaucherous celebrity parties all the time. According to Jason, Diddy’s downfall is a result of his cockiness. “Diddy started suing people and started challenging the establishment that put him in place,” says Jason, adding that Diddy mistakenly assumed that he was equal to the people who installed him at the top of the music industry. “[He] thought, ‘Hey, I'm a billionaire; I'm the equal of these other people that installed me,’ and the people that installed Diddy are saying, ‘No, you're not; you have a role and a place to stay in; you've gone outside of that, and we will put you down like a sick dog,'” he explains. “Diddy was a tool to bait people to come to his house and participate in things that they would put on camera, and now you have blackmail information on politicians, other celebrities, influencers,” says Jason. “You wonder why all the Hollywood influencer celebrity people think the exact same thing — Kamala Harris is the greatest person in the world … she should be president of the United States, and Donald Trump is racist. You can't convince me that everybody in Hollywood thinks that. They think that because they have no other choice but to think that,” he says. “What’s the next phase? Where do we go from here?” asks Jill. To hear Jason’s answer, watch the clip above.

Apple's iPhone 16 has been available for almost a week now. If you recently upgraded to a new model, there are a ton of tips and tricks to make your iPhone 16 experience even better. Here are some of our favorites: Cable transfer is faster than ever: An iOS 18 hidden feature, iPhone 16 Pro users will especially enjoy faster transfer speeds when setting up their new devices. Ideally, they're upgrading from an iPhone 15 Pro and own a Thunderbolt cable. Still, even if you're coming from a Lightning iPhone, you'll still find faster transfer speeds by cable than using Wi-Fi. Set a shortcut for the Action Button: If you're coming from an iPhone 15 Pro, you might be familiar with the Action Button. However, if you own any other phone, you'll find a new button instead of the mute switch. I'd recommend setting a shortcut for an action you perform regularly. For me, I like to shuffle my downloaded songs. You can try my shortcut here. BGR also has a guide that teaches you how to customize your Action Button. Open third-party Camera apps: With the new Camera Control functionality, you can open third-party Camera apps instead of Apple's own solution. You can open Instagram, Halide, and other options you have installed. Just tweak it in the Settings app. Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR Double-click to open Camera Control: Several users have complained that a single tap to open the Camera app can be annoying. This is why Apple lets you customize this toggle with a double tap instead; with that, you can make sure only to open the Camera when you actually want to. Switch Lock Screen widgets: iOS 18 lets you switch Lock Screen widgets. Since Camera Control can work to open your Camera app, you could switch widgets to a different toggle, such as a third-party app, a connectivity toggle, and more. Customizable Photographic Styles: In order to take advantage of the revamped Photographic Styles, you need to switch your shooting format to HEIF, which is better than JPEG and saves photo information so you can keep tweaking the Photographic Styles option. Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR Cinematic slow-mo shots: iPhone 16 Pro offers a new slow-motion video recording in 4K 120fps. Apple highlighted this feature during its keynote, and you need to open the Settings app, find the Camera tab, and select this quality to enjoy your most cinematic shots yet. Macro mode control: A regular iPhone has a macro mode for the first time. However, this mode might cause some confusion, so you can turn it on or off whenever you need it. In the Camera settings, turn on Macro Control. You'll see a toggle whenever macro mode is turned on. Wrap up These are some of the best iPhone 16 tips and tricks. BGR will keep adding more features as we learn more about them. Below, you can check some hidden iOS 18 features you might not know.
