A man with oversized breasts and wearing freakish makeup held the torch on the first day of the Olympics, claiming he is a trans woman. The West is on board with crazy. A woman and a man are supposed to light the flame. Instead, the Olympics went for two men, one of whom was confused.

Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized for what his representative called a “myriad of health conditions” as he awaits his next sexual assault trial. The 72-year-old former Hollywood mogul — who’s been in prison since a New York jury convicted him of sexual assault, before it was overturned this year — was taken back to Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward where he tested positive for COVID and contracted double pneumonia in his lungs, according to The Hollywood Reporter. His rep and prison consultant Craig Rothfeld said in a statement that Weinstein was treated for a “myriad of health conditions” that still affect him “on a daily basis such as diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, fluid on his heart and lungs, and various other conditions.” “We continue to express our gratitude to the officers, doctors and nurses at DOCS, CHS, and NYC H+H who saw to it that Mr. Weinstein was immediately transferred to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward and will continue working hand in hand with them to ensure Mr. Weinstein receives proper medical treatment,” Weinstein’s rep added. Harvey Weinstein tested positive for COVID-19 and contracted double pneumonia, an authorized representative confirmed Thursday. https://t.co/BNdQ4bkVl0 — CBS News (@CBSNews) July 26, 2024 Weinstein has been in prison since a jury convicted him of rape in his New York sexual assault trial. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison. However, in April, the New York Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein’s rape verdict and a new trial date has been tentatively set for November, the outlet noted. The decision to overturn the 2020 rape conviction of Weinstein was due to the fact that the court failed to give the disgraced movie mogul a fair trial by allowing allegations from accusers not connected to the charges against him to testify, as previously reported. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Following the appeals court announcement, the Silence Breakers, a group of Weinstein survivors, released a statement about the “unjust” decision. “The news today is not only disheartening, but it’s profoundly unjust,” the statement read. “But this ruling does not diminish the validity of our experiences or our truth; it’s merely a setback. The man found guilty continues to serve time in a California prison. When survivors everywhere broke their silence in 2017, the world changed. We continue to stand strong and advocate for that change…” Weinstein was also convicted in 2022 by a jury in Los Angeles of sexual assault. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison. He has since filed an appeal. Related: ‘Horrified’: Oscar Winner And Other Hollywood Stars React To Overturned Weinstein Rape Verdict

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) confirmed on Friday that former President Donald Trump was, in fact, struck in the head by a bullet during an assassination attempt two weeks ago. “What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the FBI said in an official statement. The Bureau’s statement comes after FBI Director Christopher Wray sparked intense controversy this week when he falsely suggested that something other than a bullet may have struck Trump. Wray told the House Judiciary Committee that it was not clear what hit Trump, that there was “some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The New York Times conducted a thorough video, audio, and trajectory analysis this week that found that Trump was hit by a bullet and not any kind of debris. Forensic experts confirmed that the viral photo that captured a bullet passing by Trump’s head, after it struck his ear, was the first shot that was fired. A remarkable photo captured by my former White House Press Corps colleague Doug Mills.

Ghanbari (@HarazGhanbari) July 14, 2024 “He flinches, and his right hand already starts reaching for his right ear during that time between the first audible shot and the second audible shot,” said Rob Maher, an audio forensics expert at Montana State University. As Trump pulled his hand away from his ear, blood can be seen on it, indicating that the bullet that missed his head by only fractions of an inch did, in fact, strike Trump’s ear. Photographs following the shooting that that were taken over the rally site in Pennsylvania showed that the 20-year-old would-be assassin had a clear line of site at the former president and that there was nothing impeding his line of fire.

Justin Timberlake’s attorney, Edward Burke, argued in court that the singer was not intoxicated when he was arrested last month for a DWI (driving while intoxicated) in New York. During a hearing on Friday, Burke appeared in court without Timberlake and claimed that the cops screwed up when they arrested the 43-year-old pop star in Sag Harbor, CNN reported. “The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI,” Burke said in a statement. “The police made a number of very significant errors in this case.” “Justin respects law enforcement and the very important job that they do,” the statement added. “He cooperated with the police officers at all times and treated them with the respect they deserve.” (WATCH) Justin Timberlake’s lawyer Edward D. Burke Jr. addresses the media outside the singer’s DWI hearing today https://t.co/5PQlFcchKa pic.twitter.com/uUAxqigArW — Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) July 26, 2024 “He also respects the entire judicial process including the District Attorney and Judge who were in court today,” Burke continued. “But the fact remains, he was not intoxicated and they made an error in arresting him for it. We are confident that this charge will be dismissed.” Surveillance footage from the night of the arrest shows Timberlake’s 2025 BMW driving down a deserted street near the American Hotel in Sag Harbor in the Hamptons. The arrest report says Timberlake was stopped after a police officer noticed him ignoring a stop sign and “fail[ing] to keep on the right side of the roadway,” People noted. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The officer reported that Timberlake’s “eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.” The report also noted that Timberlake said, “I had one martini and I followed my friends home.” The “Cry Me a River” singer was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated and was given citations for running a stop sign and failure to keep in lane. An arraignment in the case is scheduled to take place in August, CNN noted. Amanda Harding contributed to this piece. Related: Justin Timberlake Arrested In The Hamptons For DWI: Report

A CBS News journalist praised a Palestinian terror group and came into contact with terrorists while serving as a public official in Gaza, a media watchdog reports. Marwan al-Ghoul, who has worked with CBS as a producer based in Gaza for more than two decades, spoke at a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) event back in 2018, according to an investigation by Honest Reporting. ? Exposed: A Gazan Journalist employed by CBS News with deep ties to terrorism. And yes, we can prove it.@CBSNews should be ashamed. pic.twitter.com/3G7CX8piNc — HonestReporting (@HonestReporting) July 26, 2024   CBS News producer Marwan Al Ghoul, who has covered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since 1988 and lives in Gaza, says he hasn’t seen anything like the war between Israel and Hamas: “It’s horrible.” "This is different, completely different of any other war before in Gaza." pic.twitter.com/D3noKpX2tL — Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) October 29, 2023 In his remarks, Al-Ghoul praised his relative, a prominent member of the terror group, for “maintaining the noble national values established by the leading martyrs … and those who followed their path of struggle and martyrdom,” the report said. “The fact that Al-Ghoul was invited to address an official event of the group suggests his (and his family’s) affiliation with it is deep. The effect such an affiliation might have on his ‘journalistic’ work cannot be underestimated,” the investigation stated. The PFLP is a terror group that has been linked to many acts of violence against Israeli military and civilians, including suicide bombings. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Al-Ghoul also reportedly served as a public official, sitting on the Gaza City municipality council, which is controlled by Hamas. As an official, he came into contact with terrorists, according to the investigation. “What’s clear is that such a public role, in an enclave ruled by terrorists and where terrorists are hosted by the mayor, cannot be done without problematic ties. Especially for a journalist who needs to cover political and civilian issues objectively,” the investigation says. CBS has relied on Al-Ghoul’s reporting in the months since October 7, when Hamas launched a brutal and deadly surprise attack on Israeli civilians. Since then, Israel has waged a counteroffensive against Hamas in Gaza. “Israel says that the war is on Hamas,” al-Ghoul said in a CBS interview from January. “But on the ground, it’s completely different. Most of the children or the victims who came to the hospital, I saw them with my eyes, and everyone can see them on TV news, they are children and women.” Al-Ghoul is just the latest member of the media to be accused of having ties to terrorism. A CNN freelancer also based in Gaza once allegedly served in a Hamas-run body and took a picture of himself with a senior Hamas leader, another investigation by Honest Reporting reported earlier this month. Legacy media outlets have also been criticized for have a general anti-Israel bias. CBS News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
