House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will “strongly request” that the House Ethics Committee not release a report detailing its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. The ethics panel investigated Matt Gaetz and wants to release all the unfounded allegations. The corrupt Biden DOJ investigated him, and they didn’t find anything. Given that, they shouldn’t […] The post Speaker Johnson Objects to Release of Ethics Report on Gaetz appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Whoopi turned 69 and wanted to celebrate with a New York specialty, Charlotte Russe cakes. That led to her lying about why a bakery said they couldn’t bake the cakes for her.

Internet sensation Peanut the Squirrel’s story got the attention of those in the highest court in the land after Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch gave the animal a shoutout while speaking about government overreach. During Gorsuch’s appearance on Thursday at the Federalist Society’s annual dinner, the conservative SCOTUS justice referenced the story of the little grey squirrel who last month was seized by New York State authorities from his guardian’s home and euthanized, along with his pal Fred the Raccoon, to be “tested for rabies,”  The Hill reported. “I’ve just seen too many cases like that. You have just the other day, some of you might have seen one in the newspaper, if the newspapers are to be believed,” Gorsuch told the crowd at the Washington Hilton’s ballroom. “Yes, I’m speaking of P’nut the squirrel.” Reports have since surfaced that call into question the death of the little animals, showing that the squirrel and raccoon were reportedly marked for euthanasia more than a week before they were seized in a raid at guardian Mark Longo’s home.

DEC officials initially said they had received numerous calls about the animals living in the house. The department then got a warrant to search the home for the animals in what Longo described as a drug dealer-type raid at his home, as previously reported. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ At the time, the Associated Press reported that the DEC took both animals from the Longos’ home. The agency reportedly said it received complaints that wildlife was potentially at risk and being kept illegally. The Longos told TMZ that they have had Peanut for seven years, after rescuing the squirrel when its mother was killed. The DEC also said in a statement that Peanut bit an investigator on the hand while the squirrel was being confiscated, sparking the need to test for rabies and “both animals were euthanized…” according to WETM. In order to test for rabies, decapitation is required so subjects’ heads can be opened and their brains sampled. However, the Post reported that as far back as a week earlier, a timeline for euthanasia doesn’t match up and the animals were advised to be euthanized by state officials before the raid. One email from the DEC dated October 22 said it recommends “these animals be tested for rabies as a precaution for human safety.” The State Department of Health letter to the county on October 23 then read,  “Wildlife cannot be confined like domestic animals, and if there was an exposure, the animals would need to be tested for rabies,” WBNG reported.

Variety magazine says Daily Wire podcaster Matt Walsh is a “hypocrite” for daring to submit his hit documentary “Am I Racist?,” the top-grossing documentary in a decade, for Academy Award consideration. Writer Clayton Davis said the submission of the film, which made $12.3 million at the box office, was nothing but an example of “alt-right commentators” making it their “mission to ridicule the entertainment industry’s awards circuit.” The Variety contributor downplayed the significance of “Am I Racist?” performing well at the box office, citing Marvel movies as examples of why films that do well financially shouldn’t necessarily win or even be considered for awards. “The real story here is the apparent contradiction: conservative voices denounce ‘woke Hollywood,’ while actively seeking its approval,” Davis wrote. “And as award season progresses, if (or when?) ‘Am I Racist?’ doesn’t receive the recognition its backers believe it deserves — or doesn’t appear on Variety’s inevitable ‘snubs and surprises’ list — the outcry will likely follow the same script,” he went on. “In an era where conservatives champion the rhetoric of former president Donald Trump, perhaps they remember his famous line: ‘When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.’ Sorry, baby. You’re not a star.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Walsh shot back at the critic on X, calling it “one of the most insane articles” he’s ever read. “We have the most successful film in its genre this decade, but we are somehow ‘hypocrites’ for suggesting that it deserves any awards recognition at all,” Walsh said. “Conservatives are supposed to stay in their ghettos.” This is one of the most insane articles I’ve ever read. We have the most successful film in its genre this decade, but we are somehow “hypocrites” for suggesting that it deserves any awards recognition at all. Conservatives are supposed to stay in their ghettos. https://t.co/IdrR2Cvt43 — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) November 15, 2024 Walsh announced on October 29 that the film had officially been submitted for Academy Award consideration. The film “Am I Racist?” featured Walsh going undercover in the world of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to expose the grift of the race hustlers profiting off people’s emotions through deception. It has a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes with more than 2,500 verified reviews. Despite the overwhelming popularity of the movie, mainstream critics have largely ignored it.

ABC host Whoopi Goldberg complained during a recent broadcast that she had been unable to get her favorite birthday treat from a local Staten Island bakery — and she claimed that her political views were likely the reason for the alleged snub — but the bakery owner said otherwise. Goldberg had ordered a trifle-like dessert called the Charlotte Russe — with layers of sponge cake, Bavarian cream, and fruit — but Holtermann’s Bakery, a 145-year-old establishment in Staten Island, initially stated that they could not fill the order due to problems with a boiler. Goldberg claimed on the air that her political views were a more likely reason, however, saying so during Wednesday’s broadcast of “The View.” “My birthday dessert today was one of my mom’s favorites from when she was a kid, she talked about these all the time, they’re called Charlotte Russe. It’s a sponge cake with whipped cream and a cherry on top. I should tell you, Charlotte Russe has no political leanings. The place that made these refused to make them for me,” Goldberg began. “No, let me explain. They said that their ovens had gone down, but folks went and got them anyway, which is why I’m not telling you who made them. It’s not … because I’m a woman, but perhaps they did not like my politics. But, that’s okay, because you know what, listen, this is my mother’s celebration. Pick these up and celebrate with me and my mom. Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday today.” Goldberg did not initially reveal the name of the bakery — but Entertainment Weekly tracked down the shop based on the packaging the treats had come in, and reached out to the bakery. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “They’d asked us and we were having trouble with our boilers,” bakery owner Jill Holtermann told the outlet, explaining that she had initially denied Goldberg’s order because her boiler was not working properly, and she did not want to accept an order that she might not be able to fill. “I said to Whoopi, ‘I can’t do it right now,'” she explained, saying that politics had never even entered into her thoughts. “We have so many things going on with my boiler,’ because the building is from 1930, so, when she called me, I had no idea [if we could] be baking everything.” On the day of the broadcast, a staffer from the show went in to the bakery and was able to purchase the treats because Holtermann had been able to bake them after all. Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella gave a press conference in defense of Holtermann’s Bakery, calling on Goldberg — although not by name — to apologize to Jill Holtermann for defaming her on the air. “Not everybody wakes up every day and thinks about politics,” he said. “A good business person doesn’t care about anybody’s politics.” WATCH: Whoopi Goldberg lied, again, claimed a bakery refused her service over leftist views. The bakery’s owner, Jill Holtermann and Staten Island Borough President, Vito Fossella responds. pic.twitter.com/lPYFlzPsCj — Eddie (@Eddies_X) November 15, 2024
