Kyrsten Sinema: Yes, I Banged My Bodyguard in Lots o' Places ...

I seriously never liked this woman

https://www.tmz.com/2026/03/13/kyrsten-sinema-confirms-affair-with-bodyguard/

Kyrsten Sinema says she did in fact sleep with her bodyguard while he was still married ... admitting as much in legal docs -- though she says his estranged wife shouldn't be allowed to sue her in North Carolina for it.

The former Arizona senator filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit in which she's being sued by her lover's estranged wife in North Carolina Thursday. In the papers, she admits she and Matthew Ammel began an affair about five months before he separated from his wife, Heather Ammel.

The 'TrumpKennedyCenter.org' website is taken. This comedian owns it.

Now THIS is how it's done

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/trumpkennedycenter-org-website-taken-comedian-174317463.html

“As soon as Trump began gutting the Kennedy Center board earlier this year, I thought, ‘Yep, that name’s going on the building,’” explains Toby Morton, a comedy writer with “South Park” and “Mad TV” credits who buys political domains and turns them into satirical websites as a form of activism. All year, Morton followed news of Trump’s takeover of the institution - how the president purged many of its existing board members, replaced them with loyalists, then announced plans to personally host the Kennedy Center Honors - and in August he snapped up the rights to both trumpkennedycenter.org and trumpkennedycenter.com.

“The rest,” he writes in an email interview with The Post, “followed on schedule.”

It’s not uncommon for people to speculatively buy website domains that could be valuable one day, often in an attempt to turn a profit. Registering a new domain usually costs around $15 to $30. But if you want one that’s already been purchased, the owner could jack up the price significantly.

Morton isn’t in the game to sell off his domains; he’s got websites for about 50 of them. Instead, he buys them with the express purpose of turning them into seemingly legit websites that, upon closer inspection, often skewer their namesakes.

Trump to ask DOJ to probe Jeffrey Epstein involvement with Clinton, JPMorgan, Summers

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/14/trump-doj-jeffrey-epstein-clinton-jpmorgan-summers.html

President Donald Trump on Friday said that he is asking the Department of Justice to investigate relationships between notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and former President Bill Clinton, JPMorgan Chase
, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, billionaire tech investor Reid Hoffman and others.

Trump’s statement comes as he faces renewed pressure over his own past friendship with Epstein, who killed himself in August 2019 after being arrested on child sex trafficking charges.

“Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him,” Trump wrote Friday in a Truth Social post.
