    RadioRob got a reaction from Marc in Calif for a story, Trump prosecution under KKK Act has precedent established earlier this year   
    Published by
    Raw Story Anyone looking to historical precedent for successful prosecutions of a Reconstruction era statute under which Donald Trump is reportedly the being targeted shouldn't have to look far. That's according to new reporting from Lawfare, which notes that federal prosecutors earlier this year secured a conviction under Section 241, a criminal statute that's part of the Ku Klux Klan Act. The report notes that Section 241 prohibits a conspiracy to “injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any…

The ‘Last Christmas' singer, who died aged 53 on Christmas Day 2016, realised he was gay or at the very least bisexual aged 19, but said he was left feeling “trapped” when he didn't publicly come out while his band with Andrew Ridgeley, 60, became one of the world's biggest acts.

    RadioRob got a reaction from pubic_assistance for a story, Hugh Hefner’s son is flogging racy content on OnlyFans   
    Published by
    BANG Showbiz English Hugh Hefner’s son Marston Hefner is doing OnlyFans – against his wife’s wishes.
    The 33-year-old heir to the Playboy fortune is expecting his first child with spouse Anna Lambropoulos, and he has started flogging subscriptions to his racy content on the adult site as extra “financial security” for his family – and to fund his Pokémon card obsession.
    His content includes “undressing myself slowly” and engaging in “butt plug play”, but most of it is Pokemon-themed.
    He told The New York Post’s Page Six column: “It is a long-term avenue for further financial security.”
    His late father – who passed away at the age of 91 on September 27, 2017 – made his millions from the X-rated Playboy magazine and brand and his mother, Kimberley Conrad, was a Playboy model.
    Marston – who is bisexual – said: “I believe that there’s nothing wrong with nudity or sexuality.
    “If people have sex and they make money from it, cool. If I end up doing it, cool.”
    Marston even insisted he wouldn’t mind if his wife wanted to have an open relationship or start her own OnlyFans account, though he claims she’s not “crazy” about him selling his kinky content.
    He added: “If she wanted to do an open relationship, we’ll talk about it.
    “If she wanted to do anything sexual, that’s a conversation that we have no matter what, and we are always having it.”
    Hef – who was married three times – was also survived by grown-up children Christie, 70, David, 67, and 31-year-old Cooper.

    RadioRob got a reaction from + sync for a story, Four Colombian children found alive in jungle weeks after plane crash   
    Published by
    Reuters By Luis Jaime Acosta
    BOGOTA (Reuters) – Four children from an Indigenous community in Colombia were found alive in the country’s south on Friday more than five weeks after the plane they were traveling in crashed in thick jungle, Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro said.
    The siblings were rescued by the military near the border between Colombia’s Caqueta and Guaviare provinces, close to where the small plane had crashed.
    The plane – a Cessna 206 – was carrying seven people on a route between Araracuara airport, in Caqueta province, and San Jose del Guaviare, a city in Guaviare province, when it issued a mayday alert due to engine failure in the early hours of May 1.
    Three adults, including the pilot and the children’s mother Magdalena Mucutuy, died as a result of the crash and their bodies were found inside the plane. The four siblings, aged 13, 9, 4, as well as a now 12-month-old baby, survived the impact.
    Narcizo Mucutuy, the grandfather of the three girls and one boy, told reporters he was delighted at the news of their rescue.
    “As the grandfather to my grandchildren who disappeared in the jungles of the Yari, at this moment I am very happy,” he said.
    Photos shared by Colombia’s military showed a group of soldiers with the four children in the middle of the jungle.
    “A joy for the whole country! The four children who were lost … in the Colombian jungle appeared alive,” Petro said in a message via Twitter.
    Petro initially reported that children had been found on May 17 in a message on Twitter but later deleted the post, saying the information was unconfirmed.
    “They were together, they are weak, let’s let the doctors assess them. They found them, it makes me very happy,” Petro told journalists on Friday, adding the children had defended themselves alone in the middle of the jungle.
    Rescuers, supported by search dogs, had previously found discarded fruit the children ate to survive, as well as improvised shelters made with jungle vegetation.
    Airplanes and helicopters from Colombia’s army and air force participated in the rescue operations.
    (This story has been corrected to fix the location of the airport to Caqueta, from Amazonas, in paragraph 3)

    RadioRob got a reaction from + sf westcoaster for a story, Ben Platt engaged to fiancé Noah Galvin – again!   
    Published by
    BANG Showbiz English Ben Platt has got engaged to his fiancé Noah Galvin for the second time.
    ‘The Book of Mormon’ star, 29, showed off a diamond engagement ring on his Instagram Story on Monday (29.05.23) after ‘The Real O’Neals’ sitcom actor Noah, also 29, first proposed to him in November.
    Displaying a sapphire ring that is similar to the one Ben gave Noah in 2022, he said: “He proposed back.”
    He also posted a photo of their dog holding a red rose in his mouth, alongside which Ben wrote: “I said yes.”
    Noah joked on Instagram about their dog, who Ben calls Georgie: “GEORGE DID THE ASKING.”
    The pair also celebrated the second engagement with a cake that said: “Gay marriage is cool.”
    Ben captioned a series of Instagram snaps in November initially announcing their engagement, which happened at a restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn: “He agreed to hang out forever.”
    Noah added on his Instagram: “I said yeehaw and then cried for like 7 hours.”
    In one image, the couple were surrounded by a floral display adorned with candles.
    The pair have each played the lead role in the Broadway show ‘Dear Evan Hansen’, and after Ben stepped down from the part, Noah took over – sparking a friendship that lasted years before they became boyfriends during the Covid pandemic.
    Ben told Kelly Clarkson in an interview: “We were friends for five years, and right before the pandemic, we finally decided to really give it a shot.
    “We kind of skated around it for a long time.”
    The actor added in a chat with Out magazine he had finally found a partner “that I really love”.
    He said: “(Noah) has a really unique ability to help me to… be present where I am and to make the life that’s happening day to day too wonderful to not want to be on the ground for it.”

    Published by
    OK Magazine mega Howard Stern knows who should run for president in 2024: former The Daily Show anchor Jon Stewart.
    “When Jon Stewart hosted The Daily Show, they said that he was the most trusted newsman in the country. Like Walter Cronkite trustworthy,” the talk show host, 69, said during his SiriusXM radio show.
    “The guy is so f****** smart and bright and also witty and really measured when he takes on a debate,” the shock jock added. “He knows how to talk. You know he would work his a** off to be a good president. I’m telling you, he could also win, because people like Jon Stewart.”
    mega Stern first came up with the idea after watching some old videos of Stewart, 60, debating with TV star Bill O’Reilly.
    “Well, he owes it to his country to run. A lot more work, but the guy would be terrific and I think he’d do it,” Stern added.
    Stewart’s name has been brought up before, but it sounds like he has no interest in taking over the White House.
    “Ummm…No thank you,” Stewart tweeted in July 2022 in response to entering the political world.

    OK Magazine mega Howard Stern had some thoughts about Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon‘s recent firings, which both occurred on Monday, April 24.
    “The other big headline was this guy Tucker Carlson, who’s like the biggest thing on Fox News. He got fired, essentially, the speculation is that… not for what he said on air, but someone was– I don’t know, I don’t know what’s going on over there,” Stern said on the Tuesday, April 25, episode of his SiriusXM show, The Howard Stern Show.
    “Don Lemon got fired over at CNN and then some other guy at NBC, Jeff Shell, who’s an executive, got fired. And I’m like, Jeff Shell’s so lucky and so is Don Lemon because Tucker Carlson getting fired on the same day you get fired, you barely make news, like no one will even notice,” Stern added.
    The radio star’s co-host Robin Quivers also weighed in, noting that Carlson’s exit was the most newsworthy. “You’re having the same thought I was. I thought when they heard that Tucker Carlson was fired, they said, ‘Quickly get those firings out there in the public, because it’ll be dwarfed by the Tucker Carlson,’” she said.

    RadioRob got a reaction from + sync for a story, Florida extends ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law to all school years   
    Published by
    AFP Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, won reelection in 2022 and has made battling a supposed progressive 'woke' ideology a central concern of his second term Miami (AFP) – Florida on Wednesday extended its controversial ban on lessons related to gender identity and sexual orientation to all school grades, a move pushed by the southern US state’s Republican governor and likely presidential candidate Ron DeSantis.
    Dubbed by critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” law, the policy was initially limited to kindergarten through third grade, but the state’s Board of Education on Wednesday approved an expansion to grades four through 12.
    The expansion had already been approved by the Department of Education, which like the board is led by DeSantis appointees, and does not need legislative approval to take effect.
    The new rule stipulates that teachers “shall not intentionally provide classroom instruction to students in grades 4 through 12 on sexual orientation or gender identity unless such instruction is … expressly required by state academic standards.”
    It also allows for an exemption if the lesson is “part of a reproductive health course or health lesson for which a student’s parent has the option to have his or her student not attend.”
    Teachers who violate the policy could have their licenses suspended or revoked, according to the text.
    Equality Florida, an LGBTQ rights group, expressed outrage at the move.
    “Shame on the DeSantis Administration for putting a target on the backs of LGBTQ Floridians,” the group said in a statement.
    It accused Republican officials of having a “lust for government censorship.”
    DeSantis, who won reelection in 2022 in a landslide victory, has made battling politicians, teachers and businesses he accuses of wanting to impose a progressive “woke” ideology on others a central concern of his second term.
    He has increasingly courted conservative voters with controversial proposals on education and immigration in recent months, as jockeying for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination heats up.
    A rising star of the American right, DeSantis is widely expected to go toe-to-toe with former president Donald Trump, who has already declared his candidacy.

    Caitlyn made the bizarre remarks when announcing her new PAC, Fairness First, which zones in on “parent rights” and keeping “boys out of women’s sports.”
    Caitlyn ruffled feathers with her latest comments about fellow trans-woman Dylan Mulvaney‘s brand deals with Nike and Bud Light.
    mega Caitlyn spoke about the Fairness First PAC initiative to Breitbart.
    The Olympian, who made an unsuccessful run for California governor in 2021, claimed that “state laws” were needed to “ultimately govern our schools at a state level.”
    “They need to provide state-level guidance to their local school boards, from a legislative perspective, to govern who can compete in what leagues,” Caitlyn told the outlet as she noted that a key issue was boys participating in girls’ sports.

    The outspoken conservative said that “the family unit” was “under assault and looking to be replaced by teachers.”
    In a more direct attack, Caitlyn went after the “radical rainbow mafia.”

    mega Caitlyn boasted about being Fairness First’s spokesperson — and how her exposure as a Fox News contributor helped elect “officials from school boards, the state level and the federal level, to work on policy issues and advocate for our recommendations.”
    The former reality star doubled down on the PAC’s widespread commitment to the “family unit” and its boots-on-the-ground effort to keep teachers out of “parental rights.”
    “We have events and grassroots partnerships in the works to show up to school board meetings, state capitols to testify, LGBT people to testify in congress, to stop the radical rainbow mafia,” Caitlyn stated.
    mega When asked if transgender rights would be a tipping point issue for conservatives, Caitlyn stayed true to her PAC’s “parental rights” core.
    “I think this actually comes down to parental rights. Big government left-wing liberals are all about destroying the family unit, at any cost,” Caitlyn replied. “That means government gets to take the place of the parents and the families.”
    While Caitlyn acknowledged that “trans is not made up or fake,” she claimed that “trans” was “oversaturated due to indoctrination and is the latest way the left is destroying the family unit.”
    The ex-E! star warned that “we won’t see the true impact” of minors transitioning “for years to come.”

    He’s expected to stand before Bragg on Tuesday after the ex-president’s lawyers negotiated his surrender soon after the indictment was announced.
    mega According to Politico, Trump is expected to be photographed and have his fingerprints taken.
    His lawyer Joe Tacopina made it clear that his client “will not be put in handcuffs” when turning over to the authorities.
    Trump vehemently denied any wrongdoing throughout the probe and threatening “death and destruction” if any indictments were to happen.
    In a statement posted on Truth Social Trump wrote, “This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history.”
    “I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it,” Trump continued. “[I will] vigorously fight this political prosecution in court.”
    Trump’s lawyer Chris Kise referred to the indictment as “the lowest point in history for our criminal justice system.”
