Breaking: Former Congressman SUES Disney, ABC, and Jimmy Kimmel

Former U.S. Rep. George Santos has filed a lawsuit accusing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel of deceiving him into creating videos on the Cameo app that were later used to mock him on the show. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. district court for the southern district of New York, names Kimmel, ABC, and Walt Disney Co. as defendants.

A Disney representative listed as a media contact for the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show has not responded to a request for comment. Santos, who was removed from the House of Representatives last year due to fraud and theft charges, is suing for copyright infringement, fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment.

The lawsuit claims that Kimmel misrepresented himself to convince Santos to make personalized videos that would mock his personality. Through Cameo, Santos received requests for personalized videos, but Kimmel allegedly submitted at least 14 requests with fake names and stories without Santos’ knowledge. These videos were later featured in a segment called “Will Santos Say It?” starting in December.

In a video, Santos extends his congratulations to the alleged champion of a beef-eating competition, praising the accomplishment of devouring 6 pounds (2.7 kilograms) of ground beef in less than 30 minutes as “amazing and impressive.”

“Frankly, Kimmel’s fake requests were funny, but what he did was clear violation of copyright law,” Robert Fantone, an attorney for Santos, said in an email.

Santos is pursuing statutory damages amounting to $750,000 for the five videos he produced that were aired on the program and different social media channels. Additionally, he is requesting for additional damages to be decided during the trial.

Americans ERUPT After Corrupt Judge Targets Donald Trump

On Friday, Judge Arthur Engoron of New York delivered his ruling on the civil “fraud” trial against President Donald Trump, which was unsurprisingly biased and partisan. Engoron held Trump responsible for damages exceeding $350 million and prohibited him from operating his businesses in the state for a duration of three years. However, this decision faced immediate criticism on social media, with many condemning it as “blatantly un-American” and more suitable for a banana republic rather than this country.

The ruling was announced on Friday afternoon, concluding a lengthy civil fraud trial that targeted the 45th president, his family, and the Trump Organization. The case was spearheaded by New York Attorney General Letitia James, a career Democrat who campaigned on a promise to “get-Trump.” In response to Engoron’s ruling, Trump released a statement expressing his stance.

“A crooked New York judge working with the very corrupt attorney general of New York State, who ran on the basis of ‘I will get Trump’ before knowing me — before even knowing anything about me — just ruled that I have to pay a fine of $355 million based on absolutely nothing.”

Trump observed that the case, driven by political motives, was unfairly biased against him right from the start and solely aimed at targeting the primary challenge to Democrat President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign.

“No victims. No damages,” he highlighted.

“Great financial statements, with full disclaimer clauses, only success.”

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) weighted in:

“The New York case against President Trump is a farce.”

“And the continued lawfare isn’t about justice or the law — it’s pure politics,” he added.

“It’s more fitting in a banana republic than America.”

Trump’s attorney went on Newsmax to RIP the ruling to shreds:

Liberal Harvard Student Group Becomes Total Laughingstock

If you are a parent, you have likely encountered a situation where your child throws a tantrum on the floor, refusing to eat dinner. In such instances, it is common for parents to leave the child there until they become hungry enough. However, it seems that some elite Harvard students did not learn this life lesson from their nannies.

On Friday, more than 30 pro-Palestinian Harvard students participated in a hunger strike to express solidarity with 17 Brown University students who had been refusing to eat for eight days.

These Brown students were protesting and demanding that their university divest from companies associated with Israel due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza following the attacks on Israel on October 7. After being denied by the Brown administration, the 17 students ended their strike on February 9, after eight days, while 200 other students completed 32 hours. The Harvard participants also broke their fast alongside them, but only after a mere 12 hours.

The organizers stated that the Harvard students were “committed to a day-long hunger strike to prove to university corporations that we will not back down,” until the universities divest. Or, as it turned out, until dinnertime.

The purpose of a hunger strike is to demonstrate the gravity of the issue at hand.

Gandhi, in his pursuit of Indian independence, is reputed to have abstained from food for 21 days at the age of 74. Scientific American reports that other hunger strikers have documented fasts lasting up to 40 days.

As for the Harvard students, they chose to forgo their midday snack as a testament to their commitment. Although the duration of the Harvard students’ fast may not have been sufficient to experience genuine hunger pangs, numerous individuals on the internet found amusement in clutching their stomachs while laughing.

“If you eat dinner at 8pm and breakfast at 8 am you too can be a brave hunger striker for justice,” one X user wrote.

WATCH: Video Shows Hero Take Down Active Shooter at Super Bowl Parade

A video has surfaced on social media showcasing the courageous actions of the Kansas City Chiefs as they apprehended one of the suspected shooters amidst the chaos of the Super Bowl parade. In the footage, Chiefs fans can be observed chasing down and capturing a suspect following a shooting incident during the team’s celebration of their Super Bowl victory in the city of Missouri.

Tragically, the shooting occurred on Wednesday at the conclusion of the victory parade and rally in downtown Kansas City, resulting in one fatality and nine individuals sustaining injuries. The Kansas City Police Department has successfully detained two suspects in connection with the incident. The police, via a social media post around 2 p.m. Central Time, confirmed that gunshots had been fired in the vicinity of Union Station.

“Shots were fired west of Union Station near the garage and multiple people were struck,” the police said.

“We took two armed people into custody for more investigation.”

In a video shared on X platform, an individual can be observed sprinting amidst a gathering, pursued by two other individuals who eventually apprehend him.

Subsequently, a lady is captured on camera collecting various objects from the ground, potentially including a firearm, in close proximity to the altercation. She proceeds to pass these items to another woman positioned further away from the commotion, who discreetly stashes one of the objects in her coat pocket.

The latter woman then signals for the surrounding individuals to create distance. Finally, law enforcement officers arrive at the scene and detain the suspect, ensuring his confinement until the area is secured.

Just In: Black Voters TURN Against “Racist” Biden

Black voters are increasingly abandoning the Democratic Party due to mounting concerns regarding President Joe Biden’s lack of public presence and mishandling of the economy.

The multitude of problems associated with Biden and the Democrats have led black voters to make a significant shift towards the right, particularly towards President Donald Trump.

Quenton Jordan, a resident of South Chicago and the vice president of the Black Conservative Federation, recently engaged with members of the black community in the Windy City. His objective was to assess their level of support for both Trump and Biden, as these two candidates are expected to compete in the upcoming general election in November.

“Biden ain’t doing sh*t,” one disgruntled voter told Jordan.

“We need to get rid of [Biden].”

On the contrary, the response to Trump was way more positive.

One voter went to expain Trump: “He’s a businessman.

“He’s going to think [in terms of] business, and Biden is a racist.”

A third complained, “I haven’t even seen Biden yet.”

During an interview with Fox News, Jordan discussed the feedback he gathered from black voters during the man-on-the-street interview. He noted that the responses he received overwhelmingly indicated a rising sense of frustration among them towards both the current administration and the Democratic Party in general.

“They don’t see Democrats any other time aside from when it’s time for elections, and they felt as if, although Trump may have not been directly in their communities, he was visible,” he said.

“He’s on the news every day, he’s taking interviews, answering tough questions.

“They just don’t see that from Biden.

“And I don’t think that [frustration is isolated] just where we are in Chicago because we’ve gone across the country, and we’ve had these types of conversations, whether it be like the video style that we did or focus groups in the communities,” he added.

Watch: CNN Anchor PANICS After GOP Congresswoman Schools Her

CNN has adopted a fresh approach in handling guests who speak truths that the network may not be willing to accept. This approach involves interrupting them and then issuing threats to terminate the interview. During a recent interview with Rep. Beth Van Duyne of Texas, CNN anchor Brianna Keilar took her refusal to acknowledge the Biden administration’s mishandling of the border crisis to a new level.

Instead of engaging in a debate about Van Duyne’s claim that the House must pass a border security bill, the interview turned into a one-sided spectacle, with the host monopolizing the conversation and controlling its direction.

Liberal Mayor Sends URGENT Warning As City Descends Into Chaos

Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has recently issued a pressing caution regarding the ongoing national border crisis, highlighting that New York City is currently grappling with an overwhelming number of undocumented immigrants. With a sense of urgency, Adams emphasized that the city has reached its capacity due to the influx of migrants. Furthermore, the mayor is alerting that this escalating border crisis is not only affecting New York City but also other prominent cities throughout the United States.

“Our hearts are endless, but our resources are not,” Adams warned.

“It’s not like New York is not saying we are not a city of immigrants. We are.

“We have a rich history of immigrants, but we can’t take the global problem and it become our problem.

“That is unfair to New Yorkers, and is unfair to migrants.”

Due to the implementation of NYC’s “sanctuary city” policies, Adams is currently facing a challenging situation as the city is becoming overcrowded. Authorities are struggling to find suitable accommodations for all undocumented individuals, resulting in the expenditure of significant amounts of taxpayer money.

However, due to these policies, Adams is unable to transfer repeat offender migrants to I.C.E., leading to a surge in theft and violent crimes within the city. Additionally, Adams is legally obligated to provide shelter for everyone, as mandated by the “right-to-shelter” rule established in the 1980s.

During an interview with Rosanna Scotto from FOX 5 New York, featured on the Fox Nation special “The Sanctuary Trap,” Adams emphasized the strain on NYC’s resources. He disclosed that the city has now reached its maximum capacity for housing and other essential services.

“We’re not just saying we’re out of room as a soundbite,” he continued.

“We’re out of room, literally. People are going to be eventually sleeping on the streets.

“What would it take for you to close the front door?” Scotto asked.

Adams stated that he lacks the jurisdiction to prohibit individuals from entering. Furthermore, he emphasized that even if a migrant engages in multiple criminal activities, the New York authorities are incapable of transferring them to I.C.E.

“The law states that we cannot notify I.C.E.,” he said.

“I cannot break the law and enforce the law. I can’t deport.

“I can’t stop people from coming in, repeated criminal behavior, I can’t report to I.C.E. for deportation.

“So there’s certain things I can’t do.”

Biden RAGES In Anger After GOP Hits Him Where It Hurts

The House of Representatives took a historic step on Tuesday night by impeaching the Homeland Security Secretary, making it the first time in almost 150 years that a Cabinet member has faced impeachment. Democrats, including President Biden, expressed their discontent with this unprecedented event.

One such Democrat, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson’s motives, suggesting that the impeachment was merely an effort to appease former President Donald Trump.

“This sham impeachment effort is another embarrassment for House Republicans,” Schumer told HuffPost after the vote. “The one and only reason for this impeachment is for Speaker Johnson to further appease Donald Trump.”

“Republicans failed to present any evidence of anything resembling an impeachable offense,” he added.

If the actions taken by House Republicans were genuinely embarrassing, there would be no requirement for Schumer to highlight it. Similarly, I believe that President Joe Biden’s reminder about how history would judge their work was unnecessary if it was already evident. Nevertheless, this did not deter him from expressing his viewpoint.

“History will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games,” Biden said in a statement Tuesday evening.

Biden, as is his habit, proceeded to engage in irrelevant arguments that a logic professor would classify as red herrings – arguments designed to divert readers’ attention from the actual issues at hand.

For instance, Biden mentioned that Mayorkas is “a Cuban immigrant who came to the United States with his family as political refugees.” While this statement is true, its relevance to the question of whether House officials should be impeached based on their place of birth is questionable.

If anything, Biden’s statement appears to support the Republican stance – that Mayorkas has failed to enforce immigration laws. It seems logical, at least on an intuitive level, that as an immigrant himself, Mayorkas may possess a bias – conscious or unconscious – in favor of immigrants, which could lead to lenient prosecution of illegal immigrants, ultimately resulting in his impeachment by the House.

Without wasting any time, Biden swiftly moved on to another meaningless argument, asserting that Mayorkas has “spent more than two decades serving America with integrity in a decorated career in law enforcement and public service.”

Even if we accept the truth of this statement without any objections, a history of supposedly honorable past service is largely irrelevant to the question of how much “integrity” Mayorkas brings to his current position.

Nevertheless, Biden, never known for his mastery of logical debate, stubbornly stuck to his reasoning – and I use the term “reasoning” euphemistically – by claiming that his DHS secretary has “upheld the rule of law faithfully and has demonstrated a deep commitment to the values that make our nation great.”

He proceeded to proceed in his statement by requesting that Congress vote to provide his administration with the necessary tools and resources to address the situation at the border. This refers to what he wants the American people to perceive as the bipartisan plan developed in the Senate to tackle the border issue.

However, this plan has already been declared dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled House. Furthermore, it lacks significant Republican support even in the Senate, where it originated.

Additionally, although conservatives generally do not favor government by executive order, it is worth noting that Biden could easily reverse his previous reversal of border policies implemented by Trump. This could help alleviate certain aspects of the border crisis. While this may not be the ideal approach to governing America, it is both legal and evidently effective.

Breaking: Congress Informed Of Severe National Security Threat

House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner has informed all members of Congress about a significant national security concern. Turner is urging President Biden to declassify all relevant information regarding this threat. This will enable Congress, the Administration, and our allies to openly discuss and determine the necessary actions to address this issue.

According to the notice obtained by Fox News Digital, congressional members were alerted on Wednesday about an urgent matter related to a foreign military capability that has the potential to destabilize. It is crucial for all Congressional Policy Makers to be aware of this. In response to the situation, Representative Jim Himes, the ranking Democrat on the committee, reassured Americans that they should not be overly concerned.

“Look, Mike is right to highlight this issue. But it’s so sensitive that [we’re] right now not publicly discussing. And I don’t want people thinking that, you know, Martians are landing or that your Wednesday is going to be ruined. But it’s something that the Congress the administration does need to address in the medium to long run,” Himes told The Hill.

On Wednesday, during the White House press briefing, Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor, announced that he had contacted the Gang of Eight earlier in the week. He offered himself for a personal briefing on the matter. This briefing is scheduled to occur on Thursday.

“I am a bit surprised that Congressman Turner came out publicly today in advance of a meeting on the books for me to go sit with him alongside our intelligence and defense professionals tomorrow. That’s his choice to do that,” Sullivan said.

“All I can tell you is that I’m focused on going to see him, sit with him, as well as the other House members of the Gang of Eight tomorrow, and I’m not in a position to say anything further from this podium at this time, other than to make the broad point that this administration has gone further, and in more creative, more strategic ways, dealt with the declassification of intelligence in the national interest of the United States than any administration in history,” Sullivan continued.

ALERT: Strange New Pox Arises In Alaska

According to the Alaska Department of Health, the orthopoxvirus Alaskapox was first discovered nine years ago. The recent fatality occurred in the Kenai Peninsula, located in the southern region of Alaska, approximately 500 miles away from Fairbanks. It is noteworthy that all previous cases of this disease were concentrated in the northern region of the state.

“I totally appreciate that that’s a new case, that people are surprised. But then, if you know the reality of diseases and the history of diseases, we shouldn’t be surprised,” Falk Huettmann, a University of Alaska Fairbanks biologist said.

“Everything is possible by now,” he said.

According to a state epidemiology bulletin issued on Friday, the deceased individual from the Kenai Peninsula was elderly and had a compromised immune system. Similar to the individuals who fell ill near Fairbanks, he resided in a wooded area where potential contact with small mammals could have occurred. The bulletin did not disclose his identity, nor did the Beacon.

In September, the man noticed lesions in his right armpit, as stated in the bulletin. He was admitted to a hospital in November and unfortunately passed away in January, marking the first fatality of Alaskapox. The bulletin explains that the disease is transmitted by small mammals, particularly Alaska’s red-backed vole. The Kenai Peninsula man mentioned that he had been taking care of a stray cat that had been hunting in the nearby forest, and it had scratched him multiple times.

The bulletin suggests that the disease has likely spread across much of Alaska through the voles and other mammals that carry it. Prior to the man’s death, Alaskapox infections typically only caused fevers and fatigue, as stated by Julia Rogers, a state epidemiologist, according to the Beacon.

“All six prior cases were identified in an outpatient setting and involved mild illnesses that were largely resolved within a few weeks without hospitalization. None of these patients had significant prior medical history, including immunocompromising conditions,” Rogers said.

The disease was detected in a vole specimen from the University of Alaska Museum of the North’s collection, according to Link Olson, the curator of mammals.

“We know this is not a last-10-years-thing,” he said, noting the potential exists for the disease to be found beyond Alaska.

“I fully expect that this will be detected across the boreal forest,” Olson said, describing a region that stretches all the way to Canada’s east coast.

“Orthopox viruses are zoonotic viruses, meaning that they circulate primarily within animal populations with spillover into humans occasionally,” she said.
