Erika Kirk backs JD Vance for 2028 in emotional debut speech
Erika Kirk just threw the full weight of Turning Point USA behind JD Vance for a 2028 presidential run. Speaking at the group's AmericaFest event, she pledged to get her late husband Charlie's friend elected in a resounding way. This gives the Vice President a direct line to one of the most influential conservative youth networks, which was pivotal in past elections. Vance hasn't officially declared yet, saying he'll focus on the midterms first before discussing it with the President. He has credited Charlie Kirk's organizing for much of the current administration's success. The endorsement adds to growing GOP establishment support, with figures like Marco Rubio saying he'd back Vance as the nominee and Donald Trump praising him as a...
Croft sues Buzbee for $25M over alleged smear campaign
A lawyer for Jay Z's charity group is suing attorney Tony Buzbee for twenty-five million dollars. Marcy Croft, who works with Roc Nation's Team Roc, filed a defamation suit in Texas federal court. She claims Buzbee and his Houston firm used social media and legal documents to falsely accuse her of serious crimes like bribery and witness intimidation. The lawsuit states these malicious statements began last December, aiming to ruin her professional reputation. Croft says a former client of Buzbee's, Jose Maldonado, contacted her with concerns about the firm mishandling money. She advised him it might be fraud, but felt there wasn't enough for a civil case. She also thought she heard a recording device during their call. Buzbee's firm...
Shields lands in the Hall of Fame while still throwing pro punches
Boxing champ Claressa Shields just got a huge nod from her home state, making it into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame. The Flint native was recognized specifically for a nearly flawless amateur run that included two Olympic gold medals and only one recorded loss, which she still disputes. She called the honor incredible, especially since her professional career is still going strong. Her deep ties to Michigan are a big part of her story, with many of her pro fights happening in the state and drawing massive crowds. She credits the local fan support for her ability to sell out arenas. Next up is a major rematch for all the belts against Franchón Crews-Dezurn at Detroit's Little Caesars Arena. Shields promised a fire fight, highlighting...
DOJ yanks Epstein files hours after Trump photos surface
A bunch of files from the Jeffrey Epstein case just disappeared from the Justice Department's website a day after they were posted. Officials yanked at least sixteen documents, including photos connected to Donald Trump, without giving a clear reason. They only said they're reviewing materials to redact private info with an abundance of caution. The missing files reportedly included pictures of artwork and a desk with open drawers. One desk photo had two images of Trump, one with him and some women in swimsuits, and another, partly blocked, showing him with Melania Trump, Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell back in 2000. Lawyer Gloria Allred said her team contacted the DOJ after people spotted unredacted names in the release, implying...
50 Cent begs Vlad for Diddy’s secret sex tape
Fifty Cent is back at it, completely obsessed with some new dirt on Diddy. He posted online demanding to see the tape from Vlad's recent interview with an adult performer named Sly Diggler, joking about the described group encounters. This is just his latest move in a long campaign of public mockery against the mogul. The interview itself detailed a specific hotel session. Sly described signing an NDA before Diddy entered a room set up with lights and music. He said Diddy mostly directed the scene from a couch, sometimes getting physically involved. The performer claimed condoms weren't used and that Diddy made a comment about not being able to give a woman what Sly could, allegedly due to his size. Sly also told Vlad he had a phone...
Joshua’s $93M payday shrinks to $50M after brutal tax hit
So Anthony Joshua just flatlined Jake Paul. It wasn't even a contest. The former heavyweight champ used every bit of his size and skill to wreck Paul inside six rounds in Miami. But here's the part that really stings for him. That reported ninety-three million dollar purse is getting absolutely shredded by taxes. Since he lives in London, he gets hit twice. The U.S. feds will take about thirty-seven percent right off the top. Then the U.K. tax authorities come for their cut, plus National Insurance. All together, it's nearly forty-five million gone, leaving him with maybe fifty mil to actually take home. Meanwhile, Jake Paul, as an American resident, gets to skip the whole U.K. tax nightmare entirely. Joshua's massive tax bill shows...
Chappelle revisits Diddy's story with a new, uneasy context
Dave Chappelle is revisiting some awkward history in his new special. He tells a story about hanging out at Diddy's place, saying everything seemed totally normal at the time. He describes a clean house with good floor traction, joking that he saw none of the wild stuff from recent headlines. The vibe shifts when he recalls Diddy asking him what he's into on a back patio. Chappelle now frames his casual answer about books and video games as a missed opportunity, darkly joking that he didn't realize it was his chance to sleep with Cassie. The line gets a tense laugh, given the known allegations and the hotel surveillance video of the assault. He makes a point to say he isn't mocking Cassie Ventura's experience, noting her civil case...
Mom of six gets 20 years for nationwide identity theft spree
A Florida woman is going away for twenty years for a major fraud scheme. Kadesa Sayles, a mother of six, was found guilty on eighteen felony charges, including identity theft and grand theft, with losses over a hundred grand. Unverified online rumors claim she turned down a five-year plea deal before trial, but that's not in any official record. Her scam kicked off when she tricked a seventy-five-year-old man into giving up a verification code, hijacking his phone number. She then tried to raid his bank and online accounts. Cops linked her to the crime through a past record in Virginia and another victim in Las Vegas, whose photos were found on her devices. A search of her place turned up a notebook with over fifty people's personal...
