Laura Loomer braying on her hate-cast: "The media will clip my language about Angie Nixon, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and call me RACIST. I don't care. These women are all ghetto, entitled, race-obsessed, destructive black B***HES who are completely unfit for the power they hold. If you campaign with Hasan Piker who said America deserved 9/11, and endorse Angie Nixon after she called supporters of resolutions honoring Charlie Kirk tools of white supremacy,' you have no standing to lecture anyone about offensive language and racism.' I'm so sick of watching Republicans refuse to speak out forcefully because they are terrified of being called racist or Islamophobic by ghetto black and Muslim communist b***hes. You feelz me?"

Several baby goats at a mobile petting zoo in North Carolina were infected with rabies, and authorities are asking anyone who had contact with the animals to reach out to health officials.

The controversial ad for the Good Good Callaway Quantum Driver depicted a man, played by Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark, shoving a woman to the ground as she reaches for one of his golf clubs.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R) was relaxing comfortably at home when D/CIA Leon Panetta telephoned this fabulist that USN SEALs killed UBL in Abbottabad Pakistan, an act of vengeance the Archbishop of Canterbury decried as a miscarriage of justice.

Was the US Marshal Service (USMS) in SDNY ready to receive international fugitive Osama Bin Laden for his mandatory appearance before a USDJ in Manhattan Federal Court on 1 May 2011?


Laura Loomer, the Maga influencer who first reported Mr Yiannopoulos to Homeland Security, said: "For years, I have been warning the American people and the federal government that Milo Yiannopoulos is an illegal alien.

It's a great day for America and our immigration system that a Brit who excused paedophilia is being deported from America."
