Boy George has withdrawn from the West End Jesus Christ Superstar revival just days before he was set to appear in the role of King Herod, apparently as a result of the former Culture Club singer's recent release of a pro-Israel song that disputes the charge of genocide and calls pro-Palestine supporters "sheep." Boy George is the opposite of the late George Michael ("Wham!") who anonymously gave away millions of dollars in charity -- including Palestinians -- or Roger Waters ("Pink Floyd") who is risking imprisonment in the UK for denouncing Israel's ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank. To be on the wrong side of history is forever; see stories of Judas Iscariot, Oswald Mosely, George Wallace, or Andrew Cuomo for more information.
Boy George: "These people are sheep."
The ex-wife of Ohio Rep. Max Miller requested a restraining order against him that would limit his ability to contact her lawyers amid abuse allegations and a legal battle, as she alleges that the politician has not been able to "control himself" during their divorce proceedings. The filing comes amid allegations that Miller held a gun to his ex-wife's head and threatened Sen. Bernie Moreno, Moreno's father and a fellow Ohio Republican. Moreno has previously alleged that Miller was violent toward his estranged wife, claiming that he'd thrown hot water at Moreno and shoved her in the past. Moreno further alleged that Miller grabbed her on Feb. 1, "threw her against the wall" and left her with "an obvious grab mark on her upper arm and bruising to her stomach" while their daughter looked on.

President Donald Trump and his aides rarely go easy on their perceived enemies. But their attacks on the International Criminal Court -- describing it as, among other things, filled with "lunatics" and pledging to destroy it -- are hyperbolic enough that you have to wonder:
Are they afraid the court will prosecute them?

The anti-Trump resistance has settled on its Anthony Fauci narrative. The Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday was a witch hunt. Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who deeply influenced the restrictive guidelines during the Covid pandemic, had no choice. The good doctor had to invoke his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself. It's a nice story, but the camera doesn't lie. More than an hour into the proceedings, Senator Bernie Moreno, a Republican from Ohio, exposed the stone wall strategy. He requested those in the audience to stand up if they had paid a professional, legal, or personal price for dissenting from Covid orthodoxies during the pandemic. The senator then asked Fauci to turn around and look at them. Fauci refused.
