An infamous internet troll and a disbarred lawyer will be forced to pay the United States government a hefty sum after they violated the Federal Communications Commission rule on unsolicited calls and doxing.
The FCC proposed a $5.1 million fine against conservative activists Karen Wohl and Karen Burkman and J.M. Burkman & Associates for making 1,141 unlawful robocalls that made false claims about mail voting, the agency said Tuesday.
“Did you know that if you vote by mail, your personal information will be part of a public database that will be used by police departments to track down old warrants and be used by credit card companies to collect outstanding debts?” the call said, before also erroneously claiming the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention might use such data to enforce mandatory vaccinations.
The internet pranksters are facing a federal sandwich.
Thousands of voters received such calls in New York, Ohio and Michigan, according to state prosecutors, who say it was an attempt to suppress Black voters. The activists face criminal charges for their role in spreading the disinformation, and New York Attorney General Letitia James is attempting to force the men to pay up to $2.7 million in penalties for the calls.
The FCC said the calls in question were made between Aug. 26 and Sept. 14, 2020, to 1,141 wireless cellphone users who had not expressly consented to the calls, which is a violation of federal law.
This is the largest robocall fine ever proposed by the FCC for violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the agency said. Wohl and Burkman identified themselves on the call, used Burkman’s cellphone number as caller ID and admitted under oath that they created the calls.
The men are notorious for several failed schemes to smear the political rivals of Washed Up 45.
Many states expanded mail voting to keep voters safe during a deadly pandemic, but Washed Up 45 and other conservatives baselessly condemned it as ripe for widespread fraud and discouraged it.

New England Patriots cut Cam Newton. The legendary quarterback decided to play with fire and he got burned. The team had no comment on why they cut the NFL star but it may have something to do with his decision to not comply with the League's guidelines to preventing COVID-19.
Newton said he will not get vaccinated.
Many NFL players are gambling their careers because of their views on vaccinations.
Newton was selected to represent the New England Patriots after longtime veteran Tom Brady left the team for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Mac Jones will now be the team's top quarterback.
The 32-year old Newton started New England's three preseason games, but missed practice time due to what the team described as a "misunderstanding" about the NFL's COVID-19 protocols.
NFL players who got vaccinated will not be required to follow the COVID-19 protocols implicated by the League. The mandatory five-day quarantines are still applying if any person test positive. Newton's actions were becoming a distraction to the team morale.
Bill Belichick denies he cutting Newton over the player's refusal to get vaccinated.
The team said that any issues are strictly a business matter and that's all.
Newton signed a reportedly one-year, $5 million contract with the team in March after going 7-8 as a starter in 2020 while throwing more interceptions than touchdowns.
The issue is getting the attention of the NFL Players Association. The union is investigating the new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Former Ohio State University coach Urban Meyer was picked to be the coach of the struggling Jaguars.
His mission is to turn around the team and bring it at least into the League's finals.
He admitted that players' vaccination statuses were factored into final roster cuts.
Former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones who led the team to its 2020-21 NCAA-I College Football Playoff Championship against Ohio State. He was selected by New England in a bid to get the team back on the winning streak. They believe Mac is going to turn the team around.

Three cops and two paramedics are indicted for murder. The Aurora, Colorado Police is under the federal radar. It has a history of deadly confrontations with Black and Brown residents. It has five known incidents where cops either used deadly force or abuse of power towards suspects of color.
This incident involving Elijah McClain has now taken another turn. These cops and two paramedics are being indicted on manslaughter and other charges. McClain, a Black man who had no criminal history was put in a chokehold and injected with a powerful sedative two years ago, Colorado's attorney general said Wednesday.
The 23-year old's death gained widespread attention during last year's protests against racial injustice and police brutality following the death of George Floyd.
McClain's pleading words were captured on body camera. "I'm just different" -- were posted on signs at protests and spoken by celebrities who joined in the calls to indict these dirty cops.
Some Karen called 9-1-1 to report a suspicious man walking down the street and the cops confronted him. He was wearing a scarf over his face and walking home with a bag.
The dirty cop immediately gets aggressive with Elijah.
The family described McClain as a gentle and kind introvert, filled social media, including how he volunteered to play his violin to confront cats at an animal shelter.
The Aurora Police Department has been plagued by allegations of misconduct against people of color, including an officer charged this year for pistol whipping a Black man. The department was in the news for holding a Black woman and children at gunpoint because of a mistaken license plate.
All the suspects, who are white are being criminally charged with negligent homicide. The charges carry up to 30 years in the iron college if convicted in Colorado.
The Associated Press has sought comment from lawyers for the defendants. The Aurora Police Association said there was no evidence the officers caused McClain’s death.
“The hysterical overreaction to this case has severely damaged the police department,” the union said in a statement.
At a brief news conference, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said the goal was to seek justice for McClain and his loved ones.
“He was a son, a nephew, a brother, a friend,” Weiser said. “He had his whole life ahead of him.”
Mother Sheneen McClain “is overwhelmed emotionally by this news and appreciates the hard work of Phil Weiser and the rest of his team. There is not a day that goes by that she does not think of her son Elijah,” according to a statement from her lawyer, Qusair Mohamedbhai.
It’s very rare for officers to face criminal charges in on-duty deaths, and it's almost unheard of for paramedics to be charged, said Alex Piquero, a criminologist at the University of Miami.
“It’s a pretty big deal,” he said. The fact that a grand jury saw the evidence and decided what charges to file is an indication of a strong case, Piquero said.
Facing pressure during nationwide protests last year, Democratic Gov. Jared Polis ordered Weiser to open a new criminal investigation. In 2019, a district attorney said he could not charge the officers because an autopsy could not determine how McClain died.
The Aurora Police literally killed a man on camera.
It's one of several investigations, including separate reviews of McClain's arrest commissioned by the city and a comprehensive review of the Police Department. The U.S. Justice Department and the FBI also announced a civil rights investigation into McClain’s death, while Weiser’s office is conducting a similar probe into the agency, the first under a new Colorado police accountability law.
Aurora’s highly critical review did not find any evidence to justify officers stopping McClain as he walked home from the store on Aug. 24, 2019, after a 911 caller had reported a man wearing a ski mask and waving his hands who seemed “sketchy.” His family said McClain wore the mask because he had anemia that caused him to get cold easily.
Police body camera video shows an officer approaching McClain on the sidewalk and saying, “I have a right to stop you because you’re being suspicious.”
The officer turns McClain around and says, “Relax, or I’m going to have to change this situation." As other officers help restrain McClain, he asks them to let go, saying, “You guys started to arrest me, and I was stopping my music to listen.”
The officers’ body cameras come off as they move McClain to the grass, but an officer can be heard saying McClain grabbed one of their guns. McClain tries to explain and sometimes cries out or sobs. He says he can’t breathe and was just on his way home.
“I’m just different. I’m just different, that’s all. That’s all I was doing. I’m so sorry. I have no gun. I don’t do that stuff. I don’t do any fighting. Why were you attacking me? I don’t do guns. I don’t even kill flies,” he said.
One officer eventually retrieves his camera, which shows McClain handcuffed, lying on his side and periodically vomiting as another officer leans on him.
Paramedics arrived and injected the 140-pound (63.5-kilogram) McClain with 500 milligrams of ketamine — more than 1 1/2 times the dose for his weight. The fire department is allowed to use the drug to sedate combative or aggressive people, but there’s a lack of police training, conflicting medical standards and nonexistent protocols that have resulted in hospitalizations and even deaths when it’s used during police encounters.
Within five minutes, according to a federal lawsuit from McClain’s family, he stopped breathing. He was later declared brain dead and taken off life support.
A pathologist who conducted an autopsy said a combination of a narrowed coronary artery and physical exertion contributed to McClain’s death. Dr. Stephen Cina found no evidence of a ketamine overdose and said several other possibilities could not be ruled out, including an unexpected reaction to ketamine or the chokehold causing an irregular heartbeat.
The family's lawsuit alleges McClain died as a result of a dramatic increase of lactic acid in his blood caused by excessive force used by police over about 18 minutes, combined with the effects of the ketamine. They claim that police continued to “torture” McClain after he was restrained, a result of the department’s history of “unconstitutional racist brutality.”
The chokehold used on McClain has been banned by police departments and some states, including Colorado, following Floyd’s killing.
The attorney general’s announcement comes after three Aurora officers, including Rosenblatt — one of those charged in McClain's death — were fired and one resigned last year over photos mimicking the chokehold used on the 23-year-old.
Police Chief Vanessa Wilson vowed change but spent her first days in the job last year apologizing after officers put four Black girls on the ground and handcuffed two of them next to a car that police suspected was stolen but turned out not to be.
In July, an Aurora police officer was charged with assault after being captured on body camera video pistol-whipping and choking a Black man during an arrest. Another officer was charged with not intervening as required under the new police accountability law.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

This guy who interrupted a live feed on MSNBC is going to face criminal charges. On top of that he's also going through some things in Ohio.
Here's our write-up of the scary incident of some deranged guy accosting NBC News correspondent @shaqbrewster during a live report from Mississippi.
The guy who was shouting at MSNBC reporter and progressive agitator Shaquille Brewster while he covering Hurricane Ida in Gulfport, Mississippi. Craig Melvin, MSNBC and Today host had to end the feed due to the interruption.
The man is from Wooster, Ohio and will be charged with two counts of simple assault, one count of disturbing the peace and one count of violating an emergency curfew.
He violated his terms of an in-house in Cuyahoga County. He left the state without telling his probation officer.
His family is ashamed at his behavior.
Why did a guy from Ohio on probation travel to Mississippi during a hurricane?
Court documents in Ohio showed that the 54-year old white nationalist once pleaded guilty to vandalism, inducing panic and attempted assault.
He was arrested on suspicion of drilling holes into tanks of dangerous chemicals in 2017. The break-in occurred at Cleveland Plating, an electroplating company that the guy once owned. The Cleveland Police and Cuyahoga County prosecutors could not be reached for comment.
The guy traveled over 1,000 miles to Gulfport in the wake of a deadly storm. What the hell was he doing?
Brewsters was doing a live feed on MSNBC from Gulfport.
The man got in Brewster's face before the reporter moved away. The guy was shouting "report accurately."
Appreciate the concern guys. The team and I are all good!

Earlier this year, the far right was livid over the Montero shoe line which had the shape of a drop of blood on sole. Lil Nas X was hammered for being an alleged Satanist. The Nike Shoe Company had stopped the project due to possible trademark infringement.
Lil Nas X called out double standards in Hollywood after Tony Hawk’s blood-infused skateboards failed to cause an uproar like the rapper’s “Satan Shoes” did.
damn this lowkey blew up. i’m an upcoming artist from atlanta. presave my album here: https://t.co/vTbEdkHg25
“Now that tony hawk has released skateboards with his blood painted on them, and there was no public outrage, are y’all ready to admit y’all were never actually upset over the blood in the shoes? and maybe u were mad for some other reason?” the “Industry Baby” performer, 22, tweeted.
Tony Hawk donated a portion of his blood for a new skateboard.
After nearly 500,000 people “liked” his tweet, Lil Nas X seized an opportunity to promote his upcoming album, “Montero,” in a follow-up post.
“damn this lowkey blew up,” he wrote. “i’m an upcoming artist from atlanta. presave my album here.”
Hawk, 53, announced Tuesday that his blood had been put into 100 skateboards by Liquid Death and would be sold to fans for $500 apiece.
The news came just months after Lil Nas X faced immense backlash for selling sneakers with blood in their soles.
While the Grammy nominee caught more heat for his product, CNN reported Thursday that his kicks sold out in just minutes while Hawk’s skateboards took a bit longer, selling over the course of a night.
Lil Nas X teamed up with Brooklyn-based company MSCHF in March to design custom Air Max 97s that featured demonic imagery and a real drop of human blood.
All 666 pairs sold out within minutes, but Nike wanted the shoes destroyed and filed a federal lawsuit as people expressed their disdain on social media.
It reached to Tony Hawk and the two worked out the issue. Lil Nas X posted on his official TikTok a tutorial video of skateboarding. It showed the two engaging in skateboarding.

The fallout continues. Just weeks after he accepted the job as Jeopardy! host, Mike Richards now is fired out the cannon at Sony Pictures Television. Richards time as a executive producer and host have come to an end. He was the executive producer for Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune.
When Alex Trebek died in November 2020, the search for a replacement started. Many petitioned for Star Trek and Reading Rainbow alumni LeVar Burton to replace Trebek. That decision was turned down.
Richards who was the second host after Ken Jennings was in the running to be replacement host. But a series of disparaging remarks on an old podcast came back to haunt him. Allegations of sexism and offensive remarks about the poor were the nail in the coffin.
He made comments about Jews, women and those living in Haiti.
The news of his cannon firing came in an internal memo by Sony.
Suzanne Prete sent the message in an email.
"I'm writing to let you know that Mike will no longer be serving as EP of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! effective immediately.
Alex Trebek was an iconic game show host.
"We had hoped that when Mike stepped down from the host position at Jeopardy! it would have minimized the disruption and internal difficulties we have all experienced these last few weeks," she added. "That clearly has not happened."
Embassy Row's Michael Davies has agreed to step in as the interim executive producer.
Prete added in the email, "I know this has been a challenging time for the entire team, and I want to thank you all for your cooperation and professionalism over these last few weeks. [I promise our duties are ongoing and we will] work together with all of you in the weeks ahead to ensure that production remains on schedule and we do not miss a beat as we head into the new season."
Actress and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik has been chosen to be the primetime Jeopardy! and fill-in host when the official host goes on vacation. Bialik has not being fired out the cannon.
Fans were not happy about the decision to appoint them. On top of that, some believe that Richards' promotion to hosting duties was considered distasteful.
Trebek is an iconic game show host. He has made an impact on American and Canadian television.
It's gong to be hard to replace a legend. It took time for people to cope over the loss. Trust me, when they saw Bob Barker retire, the fans of The Price is Right were skeptical of Drew Carey. Now Carey has hosted the program for 15 years. Trevor Noah became the new host of The Daily Show and replaced Jon Stewart after he "retired" from the hosting duties. Now Noah has became a major factor in getting young voters out to the polls.

I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"
If you want to be a thrill seeker, you might want to get life insurance.
The Americans who chose to stay when Hurricane Ida found out that the Category 4 storm now are stuck in a trap. With the electric grid collapsing in Louisiana, Mississippi and parts of Arkansas, it's going to take time for infrastructure back to operational.
Folks who stayed are subject to dangerous conditions from roofs being ripped off homes and businesses, no cell phone service, no 9-1-1 service and dangerous animals lurking in the distance. On top of that we have the coronavirus pandemic which has affected thousands of American living in the South.
A man who chose to stay became the latest victim of a chomp.
A 71-year-old Louisiana man was presumed dead after a large alligator attacked him in an area flooded by Hurricane Ida, officials say. https://t.co/0l7Sy1h6vw

A 71-year old man is missing and presumed dead after being attack by an alligator on Monday.
St. Tammany's Fire Department told the local junk food media, that a 71-year old man lost his arm in the attack and his body was swept away by the floodwaters.
The man's wife tired to pull her husband up the steps during the attack but he drifted away when she went to get medical aid.
Alligators are known to be existing in the South. Areas where they're known are North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Some sightings are in Virginia.
Alligators are very common in Louisiana and especially in Slidell and New Orleans. Folks who live near canals and storm drains are likely to find them in the area. It's like I've said before, don't feed the wildlife. The wildlife will make your neighbor your home.
Small children, pets and older Americans are likely victims of alligator attacks.
Highway in Mississippi collapses killing two.
Avoid ponds, marshes, lakes, rivers where alligators are known to frequent. Alligators are mostly likely active at night. Do not be around alligators during mating or attending its young.
If the alligator is hissing or trying to lunge at you, back away slowly. Do not turn your back on it.
If the alligator charges at you, run in a straight line but do not turn your back on it.
If you are attacked by an alligator, you have less than five minutes to survive. First things first, don't try to wrestle your body out of an alligator. It's powerful jaws will cling and it will roll to drown you. Fight for your life if you're being attack by an alligator. Make sure you try to get into its eyes. The alligator's eyes are very sensitive to lights and debris. If you slam your fist down on the tip of the snout, it could let go of you.
If you can attack its eyes, it may let go. If you are bitten severely, you are likely to lose the body part. But if you're mildly biten, make sure you wrap the wound and try to get medical assistance.

Two people are dead and 10 injured after Highway 26 in George County washed away late Monday night following heaving rains from Hurricane Ida. Three of those hurt were injured critically, including a student at George County High.
Jerry Lee, 49 of Lucedale, has been identified by the coroner as one of the victims killed in the collapse. The second was identified as 49-year-old Kent Brown of Leakesville.
One of the people who is in critical condition is George County High senior Layla Jamison. The high school posted on its Facebook page saying she is in critical condition at USA Medical Center in Mobile.
The highway is a main thoroughfare, connecting Lucedale to Wiggins and several other cities in South Mississippi. Officials say it was raining as the vehicles drove on the highway, not knowing the danger they were driving into after the road washed out ahead of them.
Highway 26 between Highway 57 and Highway 63 will be closed until further notice.

The president speaks on the aftermath of the Afghanistan war. As expected, he will address the 13 troops killed at the Kabul airport. He will address the reasons to why he honored the pullout. He will put some of the blame on Washed Up 45 for making the decision to allow the Taliban retake Afghanistan.
He said that we've spent 20 years in Afghanistan. He will say that the United States only mission was to stop al-Qaeda from making a base in the country.
Biden will say that we had spent over $300 million a day being in Afghanistan. We have lost 2,500 lives in the 20 year war.
He will address critics on the far-right and some in the Democratic Party. He said he will not allow a forever war or forever exit in Afghanistan.
He said that if we continue to dishonored the agreement to leave Afghanistan, the Taliban start its assault on the American troops.
He said that wars were never easy. He said that the United States cannot be putting troops in every country to stop terrorism.
Most Americans are tired of the war in Afghanistan. But if you put it in the partisan lens, Republicans strongly disapprove of the withdrawal and handling. Democrats approve of the withdrawal and handling.
Independents are disapproving of the withdrawal and handling.
Biden decision to pullout will continue to be a talking point for the next three weeks.
A war that was barely covered during Washed Up 45's term is now in the spotlight now that Biden has said that time was now to close the door on a chapter that's been long. A 20 year war that had no end game.
The mission was for the United States to find those who sponsored and funded the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Biden, in defending a decision that has drawn scrutiny for its execution, said the real decision in Afghanistan was "between leaving and escalating," framing his choice to withdraw troops as the only option aside from surging more forces to the country.
"I was not going to extend this forever war, and I was not extending a forever exit," he said.
The US withdrawal was rocked by the Taliban's unexpectedly swift takeover of Afghanistan's capital. Snapshots of people trying to flee the Taliban by congregating outside the gates of Kabul's airport, along with images from inside American military planes filled with evacuees, were broadcast around the world. More than 150 Americans struggling to get to the airport were airlifted by helicopter off the roof of a nearby hotel. Thirteen US service members were killed in a terrorist attack last week outside the airport's gates and more than 170 other people died in the suicide blast. And on Sunday, American forces carried out a deadly defensive strike targeting a suspected ISIS-K suicide bomber who posed an "imminent" threat to the airport.
The President contended that the US military was prepared to deal with all those events, even though he himself has admitted that the US was caught off-guard by the quick collapse of the Afghan army.
The Taliban remains constant to trying to improve its image.
"This is the way the mission was designed. It was designed to operate under severe stress and attack, and that's what it did," Biden said.
A day after leaving Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Central Command Commander Gen. Kenneth "Frank" McKenzie to speak in the hours after the final military plane left the country, Biden addressed the American people about his decision not to extend the US military presence in Afghanistan past the end of the month. Earlier on Tuesday morning, the President first met with his national security team for a briefing on Afghanistan in the Situation Room.
Biden paid tribute to the service members who were deployed to handle the withdrawal, including the 13 who died in the terrorist strike and praised their comrades who finished the mission.
"For weeks they risked their lives to get American citizens, Afghans who helped us, citizens of our allies and partners and others on board planes and out of the country. And they did it facing the crush of enormous crowds seeking to leave the country," Biden said.
The President, who faces a political reckoning for the US' handling of the withdrawal, said in a statement Monday that "it was the unanimous recommendation of the Joint Chiefs and of all of our commanders on the ground to end our airlift mission as planned." He's also argued that he thought chaos in the country was inevitable when US troops departed.
"Their view was that ending our military mission was the best way to protect the lives of our troops, and secure the prospects of civilian departures for those who want to leave Afghanistan in the weeks and months ahead," Biden added.
He thanked the final US forces serving in the country for executing the "dangerous retrograde from Afghanistan as scheduled," with no further loss of American lives.
While the President delivered an address to announce the initiation of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan earlier this year, the Biden administration left Monday's full withdrawal announcement to McKenzie.
The CENTCOM commander on Monday acknowledged that the US military "did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out."
"But I think if we'd stayed another 10 days, we wouldn't have gotten everybody out that we wanted to get out and there still would've been people who would've been disappointed with that. It's a tough situation," he added.
As of Monday, more than 122,000 people had been airlifted from Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul since July, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters, including 5,400 Americans.
And in the 24 hours leading up to Monday morning, 26 military C-17 aircraft lifted off from Kabul carrying 1,200 evacuees, according to Gen. Hank Taylor, the deputy director of the Joint Staff for Regional Operations. In total, 28 flights departed from Kabul airport in that 24-hour window, Taylor said.
A senior State Department official said the department believes there are fewer than 250 American citizens currently in Afghanistan -- and Blinken said Monday that number may be closer to 100 -- who may wish to leave, as US officials stressed a Taliban commitment to let Afghans leave the country after the US and allies left. The State Department official put the number of American citizens who have left the country through evacuation flights or other means closer to 6,000.
"We're trying to determine exactly how many. We're going through manifests and calling and texting through our lists," Blinken said in remarks at the State Department.
The State Department no longer has any diplomats in Afghanistan and has moved its diplomatic mission in the country to Doha, Qatar, Blnken said. He added that the diminished US presence in Afghanistan is not necessarily the end of US commitment there.
The top US diplomat noted that there are residents of Afghanistan who have US passports who are trying to determine if they should leave.
"Our commitment to them, and to all Americans in Afghanistan, and everywhere in the world, continues," Blinken said.
Biden has said he intends to hold the Taliban accountable to their commitment that those seeking to leave the country will be able to do so safely.
On Monday, White House officials said the President is continuing the hunt for terrorists in Afghanistan, telling his military commanders to "stop at nothing" to avenge the deaths of the 13 US service members at Kabul airport.
The US also carried out a defensive airstrike on Sunday targeting a suspected car bomb headed to the airport. The strike killed nine members of one family, including six children, according to a relative of those killed who spoke to a local journalist working with CNN.
