Son of prominent conservative activist found guilty on Jan 6-related charges

Leo Brent Bozell IV, the son of conservative activist and media critic Brent Bozell, was found guilty of 10 charges related to breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6, POLITICO, Kyle Cheney reported on Friday.

In 2021, Bozell, initially faced charges of disorderly conduct, knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, and obstructing an official proceeding.

Judge John D. Bates said Bozell’s testimony was “simply not credible.”

"Bozell pushed past police lines and entered the Capitol, after smashing two windows with a metal object. He was also convicted of two counts of destruction of govt property," Cheney wrote in an X (formerly Twitter) post Friday.

"He later surged to the Senate floor and, while there, forced a C-Span camera to face the floor so it wouldn’t capture rioters’ movements. In run up to Jan. 6 he texted associates about desire to 'take the Capitol and hang those pedo-satanistic traitors,'" Cheney wrote.

His dad is a real RW douche so this comes as no surprise

Well, here they all are.

All 19 co-defendants have turned themselves in to the Fulton County jail ahead of Friday's noon deadline, including former President Donald Trump.

Trump, on Thursday evening, became the 12th of the 19 indicted people to surrender and made history as the first former president to pose for a mugshot.

Five more, including former Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark, were booked overnight. And the final two co-defendants surrendered on Friday morning.

District Attorney Fani Willis has charged all of them with racketeering, alleging they engaged in a 'criminal enterprise' to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 election victory in Georgia.

None of the 19 have yet entered pleas, since the arraignment process is separate from the booking process in Georgia. Arraignments are expected to begin the week of September 5th.

Trevian Kutti, a former publicist for Kayne West, and Stephen Lee, a police chaplain from Illinois, were the final two to surrender.

Melania Is Reportedly 'Seething With Fury' After Donald Broke This Family-Oriented Promise

While Melania Trump may be former US President Donald Trump’s “secret weapon” for battling stress, it seems that dynamic may not apply to this act that has reportedly left Melania “seething with fury.”

In a screenshot obtained by Showbiz411, it shows Donald posted a photoshopped pic of his youngest child Barron Trump, whom he shared with Melania. In the social media post, we see Barron photoshopped as a president, saying: “In an effort to level the playing field, Barron Trump will debate Joe Biden!”

Not only did this shock a lot of his followers, but insiders say Melania is beyond angry for breaking a major promise about keeping Barron out of the public eye as much as possible.

“Melania has been incredibly protective of Barron and has told Donald she would not stand for him to be exploited by anyone, even his father!” an insider said to RadarOnline. “He made a promise to protect their son — and he broke it. There’s a good chance she won’t forgive him, and the next time we see them together may be in divorce court.”

This guy doesn’t know when to shut up…and that makes me so happy! And if Melania is smart, she’ll bail out of this marriage as soon as possible. They’ll be nothing left of his money after all the legal fees so she better grab what she can.

Woman makes bomb threat to Democratic Party office, gets 18 months in jail

Here’s a little appetizer to enjoy before Trump’s next perp walk.

An Elberton woman was sentenced to 18 months in a federal prison this week in U.S. District Court in Macon in connection with a bomb threat made in 2022 to the Athens-Clarke County Democratic Committee headquarters.

Jessica Diane Higginbotham, who also uses the last names of Harriod and Jones, had entered a guilty plea on May 16 to communicating a bomb threat.

Higginbotham, 35, is a former security contractor, hired to provide security for the office in Athens.

The investigation began on Dec. 3, 2022, after federal prosecutors said an employee at the office received a disturbing text message.

“Hello, I am writing this message to you to let you know that I am coming by either tonight or in the morning to set a bomb up. So I can blow all the Democrats up,” the message read. "I have other people going to other offices also. If I can’t stop you by breaking in and destroying the property, then I will blow every one up. So be ready to be blown up. This is going to either happen tonight or in the morning. Hope you like being on the wrong team.”

The U.S. Attorney reported that on Dec. 4, FBI agents located Higginbotham at a coffee shop in Athens with the phone used in the crime in her hand. As agents approached her, the FBI reported she vomited.



While investigating the threat, the FBI also learned a burglary occurred at the campaign headquarters in Athens on Nov. 27 and a laptop was stolen.

The FBI noted that the crime appeared to be staged as tables were turned over, but no forced entry was found. The laptop was later recovered in Higginbotham’s possession.

Man Demands Refund After Seeing Buddha Imagery At Chinese Restaurant Because He's Christian

A man turned a lunch trip into a religious protest after he spotted imagery in the restaurant that did not align with his beliefs. He then demanded a refund on his food order for all of his troubles, but many people disagree with his proclamations.

A video posted to the subreddit, "r/PublicFreakouts" depicts a male customer in a Chinese restaurant picking up a food order. However, after he allegedly spotted a statue of Buddha, an Asian spiritual master associated with the Buddhism religion, he demanded a refund since Buddhist beliefs go against his beliefs as a Christian.

The incident took place in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Rose Garden Chinese restaurant.

In the video, the man and a little boy who is presumed to be his son stand off to the side of the counter and he can be heard arguing with other customers and restaurant staff after asking for a refund.
