Jeffrey Toobin‚ a former CNN analyst who continues to make appearances on the liberal network‚ lashed out at U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Tuesday for daring to question the Biden Department of Justice's uneven application of the law. By calling the highly esteemed constitutionalist a &;quot;disgrace‚&;quot; Toobin exposed himself once again to criticism over his less than sterling public record. The case The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in Fischer v. United States‚ which concerns the application of a federal obstruction statute against Jan. 6 protesters. The controversial law in question‚ Section 1512(c)(2)‚ makes it a felony to obstruct or impede an official proceeding and carries a maximum penalty of 20 years. The law has been weaponized by the Biden Department of Justice for use against more than 350 Jan. 6 protesters. CBS News highlighted that the felony charge is among those former President Donald Trump faces in the case brought in Washington‚ D.C.‚ by special counsel Jack Smith in 2023. America's Future and the Conservative Legal Defense and Education Fund noted in their amicus brief on the behalf of the petitioners that the DOJ has &;quot;indicted hundreds‚ including [former police officer Joseph W. Fischer]‚ for a crime that carries a sentence twice what Congress provided for insurrections‚&;quot; on the basis of a &;quot;strained reading&;quot; of an obscure provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and a &;quot;fabricated January 6 narrative.&;quot; &;quot;Allowing this strained reading to stand can be expected to lead to further weaponization of the Justice Department‚&;quot; said the brief. Oral arguments During oral arguments Tuesday‚ Jeffrey Green‚ who represented Fischer‚ noted that the law was created with the intention of addressing acts that impact the &;quot;integrity or availability of evidence‚&;quot; not acts that serve as inconveniences without affecting evidence‚ reported The Hill. Conservative justices appeared interested in the selective and potential expansive application of the law‚ which the DOJ conceded serves as a &;quot;classic catchall.&;quot; Justice Neil Gorsuch asked‚ &;quot;Would a sit-in that disrupts a trial or access to a federal courthouse qualify&;#63; Would a heckler in today's audience qualify or at the State of the Union Address&;#63; Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify&;#63; And for 20 years in federal prison&;#63;&;quot; U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar‚ arguing on behalf of the government‚ suggested the statute would apply in cases of &;quot;meaningful interference&;quot; and that &;quot;minor disruption[s]‚&;quot; determined by partisan prosecutors‚ would be safe. Gorsuch responded with a thinly veiled intimation that New York Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman's fire alarm pull and Portland radicals' sit-in would qualify as federal felonies. Prelogar insinuated that perceived interference or obstruction regarded by partisan prosecutors as &;quot;mostly peaceful protests&;quot; are exempt. Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch nukes Joe Biden's DOJ over January 6th sentences:\n\nGorsuch lists multiple cases of folks who &;quot;obstructed a Congressional proceeding&;quot; without receiving a 20 year sentence.\n\n1. Sit-ins at a trial (Kavanaugh protests)\n2. Pulling a fire alarm (Rep.\u2026 — (@) Justice Thomas also risked the ire of statists and other champions of government overreach‚ highlighting the DOJ's uneven application of the law. &;quot;There have been many violent protests that have interfered with proceedings‚&;quot; said Justice Thomas. &;quot;Has the government applied this provision to other protests in the past‚ and has this been the government's position throughout the lifespan of this statute&;#63;&;quot; Prelogar refrained from answering the question directly‚ prompting Thomas to ask again‚ &;quot;Have you enforced it in that manner&;#63;&;quot; &;quot;I can't give you an example of enforcing it in a situation where people have violently stormed a building in order to prevent an official proceeding‚ a specified one‚&;quot; answered the solicitor general. A stone thrown from a glass house Prickled by Justice Thomas putting questions of substance to the state‚ Toobin denounced the Supreme Court justice online. The frequent CNN guest‚ who once had a job at the network‚ wrote in an X post‚ &;quot;In oral argument today‚ Justice Thomas is minimizing the severity of the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. Perhaps that's because his wife was part of the conspiracy. What a disgrace that he's sitting on this case.&;quot; Toobin quickly learned he was not the only critic on the platform. Megyn Kelly responded‚ &;quot;Hi Toobin - fyi you waived your right to use the term 'disgraced' about other lawyers when you took your dick out of your pants and jerked off in front of your colleagues.&;quot; Hi Toobin - fyi you waived your right to use the term \u201cdisgraced\u201d about other lawyers when you took your dick out of your pants and jerked off in front of your collleagues — (@) Mike Davis of the Article III Project‚ among the many who clearly appreciated Kelly's response‚ said‚ &;quot;Has anyone reported this murder yet&;#63;&;quot; Sean Davis‚ CEO of the Federalist‚ similarly noted‚ &;quot;It always amuses me when a man who got caught beating his meat on a Zoom call thinks he's in a position to call other people disgraceful.&;quot; Toobin worked as a writer at the New Yorker and CNN's chief legal analyst until he exposed himself to colleagues on an October 2020 zoom call. People familiar with the matter told CNN that in a disgraceful display‚ Toobin began masturbating during the call. Toobin acknowledged the incident occurred and claimed‚ &;quot;I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video.&;quot; CNN‚ which initially sidelined the flasher‚ apparently waited until August 2022 to confirm Toobin's departure from the network. While various critics referenced Toobin's 2020 incidents‚ others went for deeper cuts‚ referencing his sordid extramarital affair. The New York Post reported that the father of two had an affair with his former CNN colleague's daughter‚ 14 years his junior. After getting her pregnant‚ Toobin allegedly offered Casey Greenfield &;quot;money if she'd have an abortion.&;quot; Toobin reportedly denied paternity of the baby but was later confirmed by tests to be the father‚ prompting Greenfield to take Toobin to court over custody and financial support issues.

“Free Palestine” protesters connected to the group “A15 Action” have taken a very original‚ never-before-seen approach to protest America’s support for Israel: blocking roads and the Golden Gate Bridge. “Has there ever been an example of this tactic working&;#63;” Stu Burguiere asks Glenn Beck. “Has any person in history ever been convinced by not being able to access the thing that they wanted to go to&;#63;” The good news is that the protesters are being arrested — and then being immediately released. “There’s somebody who’s stepping in to give them bail money and legal support‚” Glenn explains‚ revealing that the person is an “obvious” guess‚ and yes‚ it is George Soros. The group‚ A15 Action‚ is a newly formed group that asks people to donate to their bail and legal defense fund‚ which is hosted through ActBlue — the Democratic party’s online fundraising juggernaut. This group is also the project of the Tides Foundation‚ a network funded by Soros and other liberal billionaires‚ and the protestors have been blocking “economic chokepoints” all over the country in order to “cause as much financial disruption” as possible. A15 protesters have also been photographed wearing Hamas bandanas and flying Hezbollah flags on Wall Street in New York. “You know‚ that’s the kind of thing I really want to be involved with. I go to websites and I’m like‚ I don’t know how we can inflict as much damage on this country fiscally as possible‚ and then I realize I’ve already done my part. I voted for people in Congress‚” Glenn says. “Really‚ that’s all you have to do.” Want more from Glenn Beck&;#63;To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling‚ thought-provoking analysis‚ and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos‚ subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America‚ defend the Constitution‚ and live the American dream.

NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers responded to hit pieces about him and claimed that the mainstream media was afraid that he couldn't be silenced.Speaking on the &;quot;I Can Fly&;quot; podcast‚ Rodgers responded to attacks in the media that circulated when he was rumored to be a running mate for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ahead of the 2024 presidential election.&;quot;I got mentioned as a finalist to be‚ you know‚ vice president on a ticket‚ and they f***ing attacked me with some bizarre story from years ago. There was a third-hand account or something‚&;quot; Rodgers said. The player was referring to claims that he had spread &;quot;false Sandy Hook conspiracy theories.&;quot; CNN said the conspiracy theories were stated in &;quot;private conversations&;quot; in 2013.Rodgers alluded to the fact that despite the hit pieces‚ he cannot be controlled‚ nor is he truly beholden to anyone.&;quot;They’re terrified. They’re terrified of people that think for themselves‚ that aren’t controlled. I’m not beholden to anybody. I have a contract. I can get cut at any point. I have very few sponsors now. They’re all people that I really believe in‚ and there’s some sort of equity investment in it. But I’m not controlled. Nobody controls my messaging. Nobody controlling my social media. Nobody can control me. You know‚ I think for myself. I speak for myself. And that’s dangerous to an establishment that wants more power‚ control‚ and obedience.&;quot;Rodgers stated that he didn't believe that either President Biden or President Trump could bring about actual change and cited &;quot;bums&;quot; in government who have participated in &;quot;insider trading.&;quot; The four-time NFL MVP also pointed to homelessness‚ inflation‚ and employment as other markers that America is headed in the wrong direction. I would much rather have Aaron Rodgers in Congress over a lot of the crooked clowns there now. He can be a modern-day Jack Kemp \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83e\udee1 — (@) &;quot;As we give billions of dollars to Ukraine to fight a proxy war‚ we have a southern border that's being invaded. ... The country's in a bad place‚ and it's not going to get better‚&;quot; he continued. &;quot;It’s not going to get better with 'Weekend at Bernie's' [Biden]‚ who can barely put a sentence together‚ if that’s even him‚&;quot; Rodgers said.&;quot;Why not make a change&;#63;&;quot; he asked. In addition to stating that he would continue to spread Kennedy's message‚ Rodgers said that the current two-party system &;quot;doesn't work&;quot; and that Kennedy is &;quot;putting himself on the line.&;quot;The New York Jets player added that supporting people who have a belief in doing good is what makes America exceptional.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

The Democrat mayor of Los Angeles has claimed that the city cannot afford to fight the homelessness crisis alone. She is now asking wealthy residents and philanthropic organizations to fork over millions more to address the problem.On Monday‚ Mayor Karen Bass gave her State of the City speech. The speech lasted just under 35 minutes‚ but she spent more than 11 minutes — approximately a third of the speech — discussing homelessness and other problems associated with it.Part of the solution to &;quot;ending homelessness‚&;quot; the mayor indicated‚ is to find revenue sources besides taxes. &;quot;We have brought the public sector together‚&;quot; Bass said. &;quot;And now we must prevail on the humanity and generosity of the private sector.&;quot;Bass explained that she needs the help of &;quot;the most fortunate Angelenos&;quot; — many of whom already pay an ample portion of the taxes collected in California — to purchase properties that can then be converted into permanent housing units‚ a program she has dubbed LA4LA.&;quot;The rescue phase of an emergency is always expensive‚&;quot; Bass stated. &;quot;There's no way around it. Motel rooms rented by the night are expensive.&;quot;LA4LA participants will help the city continue purchasing motels and hotels for this endeavor. &;quot;Help us acquire more properties‚ lower the cost of capital‚ and speed up housing‚&;quot; she said. &;quot;This is the mission of ... LA4LA.&;quot;Sarah Dusseault‚ the leading strategist for LA4LA‚ claims the new initiative has already generated significant contributions from area organizations. The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation has already pledged a grant of $3.5 million‚ and the California Community Foundation has promised a loan of $5 million. Stephen J. Cloobeck‚ described by the L.A. Times as a &;quot;Beverly Hills-based investor and philanthropist‚&;quot; has donated $1 million as well. &;quot;There needs to be a pathway for people to get back into society‚ and be proud of themselves and add value to our community‚&;quot; Cloobeck said.Since taking office in December 2022‚ Bass has made addressing the city's 46‚000 homeless residents a priority. Another initiative implemented by Bass‚ Inside Safe‚ which Bass touted during her speech‚ has helped relocate some 2‚600 residents from the streets to &;quot;indoor&;quot; areas‚ the Times reported.However‚ of those 2‚600 &;quot;unhoused&;quot; residents‚ more than 600 have already returned to living on the streets. Another 80 are either dead or in jail‚ the Times said.Still‚ Bass remains optimistic that her administration can achieve the goal of &;quot;preventing and ending homelessness&;quot; — not just &;quot;hiding&;quot; or &;quot;managing&;quot; it.&;quot;LA4LA can be a sea change for Los Angles‚ an unprecedented partnership to confront this emergency‚ an example of disrupting the status quo to build a new system to save lives‚&;quot; she said.You can watch Bass' full speech below. The topic of homelessness begins around the 15:25 mark.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here&;#33;

A Brooklyn preteen has been found safe days after running away from home‚ thanks in small part to an Apple AirTag attached to her keys.On the afternoon of April 9‚ Eliana Perozo monitored the AirTag on the keychain of younger sister Victorious &;quot;Tori&;quot; Perozo. According to the AirTag activity‚ 12-year-old Tori left the Baccalaureate School for Global Education in Queens at the appropriate time and hopped on the correct subway train to return to her home in Prospect Lefferts Gardens in Brooklyn.However‚ Eliana‚ Tori's legal guardian‚ began to worry when the AirTag indicated Tori took a surprise turn and started heading in the wrong direction. &;quot;Once she hit the city‚ I saw her AirTag go up towards the Bronx instead of down towards Brooklyn‚&;quot; Eliana previously stated. &;quot;That’s when I knew that she was at least going somewhere she wasn’t supposed to be going.&;quot;Eliana then alerted a friend that Tori had gone missing‚ and the two women began tracking the movements indicated on the AirTag. The last location where the AirTag pinged was an apartment near St. Ann's Ave and 134th St. in the Bronx‚ nearly 15 miles north of Eliana and Tori's neighborhood. Unfortunately‚ the ping turned out to be a dead end as a man living in the apartment had found the AirTag on the street and brought it home with him. He never saw Tori‚ he claimed.For days‚ Eliana‚ her friend‚ and nearly 30 others continued to search. Eliana had become Tori's legal guardian because their mother has been chronically absent in their lives. According to Eliana‚ their mother has not made contact with her daughters in at least two months.The night before Tori went missing‚ Eliana had caught Tori texting an older boy and swapped out the girl's smartphone for a flip phone‚ a punishment that seemed to anger Tori. While Tori remained missing‚ she never once answered her phone.&;quot;I think she’s a 12-year-old who survived a lot of loss‚&;quot; Eliana explained to reporters at the time. &;quot;And there’s so much support and mental health services and people that love her and support her — but I feel that’s not the case in her 12-year-old mind‚ so she ran away.&;quot;Luckily‚ dogged detectives with the NYPD spotted Tori on surveillance footage at a subway station in the East Village. The timestamp on the surveillance footage when Tori appeared was about 5:45 a.m. on Thursday‚ but police didn't see her on the footage until sometime on Friday. When officers finally found the girl is unclear‚ but she was reunited with Eliana on Sunday — five days after she first ran away.The New York Post reached out to Eliana for comment after Tori was found but did not receive a response.&;quot;She’s a really great kid‚&;quot; Eliana said previously.&;quot;I don’t want this moment to be a defining moment in her life.&;quot;Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Early shooters were easy to get lost in but none were more confusingly laid out than the original Descent games.
