AT&T Confirms A Hacker Got Them!

AT&T got hacked in 2022 and revealed it now.

As much as I despise the stupidity of our country, here comes more.

Winners and losers of 2024.

I can't stand the Kia Boyz. I can't stand hackers.

Hackers are online trolls who steal personal information from victims for diabolical reasons. They often infiltrate organizations and government agencies for exposing state secrets or unethical practices.

The Heritage Foundation was hacked. The Project 2025 issue is really real. The Republicans and former president Donald J. Trump are united in revenge. This plan if enabled will not only rollback President  Joe Biden's agenda, but former presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon's policies.

With the junk food media obsessed with Biden's mental fitness after his bad debate, Democrats are starting to turn on one another. Instead of being united to defeat Trump and Republicans, Democrats are scrambling. 

The fact that Israel and its genocide is no longer mention is frustrating. The regime is still committing acts of genocide on the Palestinians and they continue to reject ceasefire agreements.

The fact that Congress is more lazier than the people they accuse of not working and pillaging from the safety net.

The fact that the Texas power grid failed again after Hurricane Beryl ravaged the state and Republicans delayed federal assistance because of Greg Abbott and his feud with Biden.

The fact that equity firms are destroying businesses. Rite Aid, Kmart, Sears, Applebee's, Walgreens, Burger King and White Castle are fading fast.

The fact Trump said he will be a dictator on day one is not being taken seriously.

The fact that we have more deadlier weather events in the world.

The fact that we have the junk food media more concerned with controversial issues that actual issues.

AT&T has announced that the company believes a hacker stole records of calls and texts from nearly all of AT&T's wireless customers, according to a financial filing from the company.

"The data does not contain the content of calls or texts, personal information such as Social Security numbers, dates of birth, or other personally identifiable information," AT&T said in their statement released early Friday morning. "These records identify the telephone numbers with which an AT&T or MVNO wireless number interacted during these periods, including telephone numbers of AT&T wireline customers and customers of other carriers, counts of those interactions, and aggregate call duration for a day or month."

AT&T says it has taken "additional cybersecurity measures" in response to this incident including closing off the point of unlawful access.

AT&T confirmed that it will provide notice to its current and former impacted customers.

"AT&T is working with law enforcement in its efforts to arrest those involved in the incident," the company said. "Based on information available to AT&T, it understands that at least one person has been apprehended. As of the date of this filing, AT&T does not believe that the data is publicly available."

"The incident was limited to an AT&T workspace on Snowflake's cloud platform and did not impact AT&T's network," the company said.

The Justice Department allowed AT&T two national security exemptions and allowed the company not to report the cyber breach publicly until Friday. For some critical infrastructure companies, the U.S. government mandates that at least 72 hours after a cyber breach, companies must report the nature of the attack to the government.

"Consistent with the Department's public guidance, AT&T notified the FBI upon learning of the incident, but prior to AT&T having made its materiality determination," the Department of Justice said in a statement. "AT&T's cooperation with the Department in this matter, including its timely advance notification to the FBI, benefited the Department's ongoing efforts to investigate the incident."

AT&T says the incident has not had a "material impact on AT&T's operations," and AT&T does not believe that the incident is "reasonably likely to materially impact AT&T's financial condition or results of operations."

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in a statement they are aware of the incident, and are working with AT&T and other government agencies to assess the impact of the breach.

CISA is the cybersecurity arm of the Department of Homeland Security.

"As always, CISA urges all organizations to enforce stringent security measures, including multifactor authentication. We will continue to monitor and provide guidance or assistance, as needed," the statement said.

Just think about how Republicans want to cut regulations and this being a part of the irony of cutbacks and deregulation. I mean how bad has our country gotten!

Biden is not only facing Trump and Republicans but those so called Democratic allies too focused on his age instead of his policies.

Yeah, Biden's support for Israel is infuriating but Trump and Project 2025 is more infuriating.

Columbus Declares War On The Kia Boyz!

Ohio mom dies from carjacking. 

The U.S. Justice Department is about to get involved in curbing the Kia/Hyundai challenge if the car manufacturers refuse to install barriers to stop auto theft.

Suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

I was a victim of a car break in not a car theft. I drive a Kia vehicle and the Kia Boyz struck. The suspects broke the window and tried to break into the ignition. Luckly, I have a push button and it requires a key fob to start the vehicle.

However, the suspects stole property. 

They done it twice to my vehicle.

My insurance provider Allstate has increase the rates of my vehicle. They have pushed a 10% rise in my coverage thanks to the challenge. Kia and Hyundai said they only offered vehicles that require keys to start ignitions an upgrade. It failed.

The companies offered free wheel locks, but somehow it didn't work.

When Kia and Hyundai offered a settlement to victims, the U.S. federal courts delayed it.

They offered stickers and detriment instruments. None of them worked.

TikTok, X and YouTube have failed to pull videos of how they steal vehicles.

Many of the local junk food media told stories of stolen Kia and Hyundai vehicles causing serious accidents. In Philadelphia, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, some incidents this year were deadly.

The Columbus Division of Police are declaring war on repeat offenders and are pushing for offenders to be charged as adults if they are committing serious injury or death while in these vehicles. This vehicle was a Honda CR-V, a vehicle that is on the list of most stolen vehicles in the United States. That ranks No. 5 on theft.

Columbus Police release the diagram of the car's path and the suspects' path.

A woman who made a fatal mistake of leaving her vehicle running with a small child inside died as two suspects tried to steal her vehicle. 

The woman was picking up her 6 year old son from a babysitter on Columbus' Southeast neighborhoods. The woman left the vehicle running for a less than five minute grab while her child was sleeping.

Columbus Police Sgt. Joe Albert said the incident happened in a condominium complex near Gender Road just before 1:30 a.m.

Albert said the mother, identified by police as 29-year-old Alexa Stakely, was at the complex picking up her 6-year-old son from a babysitter. Stakely put the sleeping child in her Honda CR-V, which was left running.

She went back to pick up something from the babysitter when Albert said at least one suspect got inside the SUV and began driving away.

Albert said she got on the vehicle's hood, yelling for the driver to stop. The vehicle was driving erratically through the complex while she was still on the hood.

These idiots will face karma.

Stakely fell off the hood and sustained critical injuries, according to Albert. At some point, the driver stopped and abandoned the vehicle.

She was taken to Mount Carmel East Hospital where she later died. Officers found the SUV in the apartment complex with the 6-year-old boy unharmed and still asleep.

Police say two males were seen running past Stakely while she was lying in the middle of the road. They ran north and were seen jumping a fence before disappearing into a neighboring apartment complex.

Earlier in the morning, police say surveillance video caught a group of males looking into apartments in the area of Castenea Way. When confronted, the males ran eastbound. Two of the males matched the description of the males who ran past Stakely.

Canal Winchester Schools released a statement saying Stakely was a speech-language pathologist in the district.

The suspects are still on the loose. If caught, they face kidnapping, vehicular homicide, receiving stolen property and reckless endangerment. If they are juveniles between the age of 14 to 18, they could be charged as adults.

No Conviction For Alec Baldwin!

Baldwin walks.

Winners and losers of 2024.

Sean "Softball" Hannity thought he was going to have a twofer. Had Alec Baldwin been convicted for involuntary manslaughter he would have went to the iron college for 18 months but no less than 10 years, the annoying far right agitator would have wall to wall coverage of it. 

Andrea Reeb, the Republican special prosecutor who was assisting the case tainted it.

When she went on Fox and gave Baldwin an opportunity to use Reed and special prosecutor Kari Morrissey as partisan hacks.

The tragic shooting of Halyna Hutchins will be a permanent mark on Baldwin's career

While filming Rust in New Mexico, the armorer failed to check the prop that Baldwin used in a scene. The prop had live rounds and it struck cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. She died at the hospital in Santa Fe.

The New Mexico prosecutors decided to criminally charge Baldwin and Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

The incident was investigated by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, the New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney, the New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety Bureau, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In an affidavit, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office stated that neither Baldwin nor first assistant director David Halls knew that the gun in question was loaded. 

No justice for Halyna.

On January 31, 2023, the Santa Fe district attorney charged the two with one count each of involuntary manslaughter. Halls agreed to plead guilty to the charge of the negligent use of a deadly weapon. On February 23, 2023, Baldwin pleaded not guilty, and on April 20, 2023, it was reported that prosecutors had indicated that the charges against him were being dropped. 

Gutierrez-Reed was later charged with tampering with evidence. 

On March 6, 2024, Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Gutierrez-Reed was then remanded into police custody and sentenced to 18 months in prison on April 15, 2024. 

On January 19, 2024, Baldwin was again indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter; he pleaded not guilty. Baldwin's trial began on July 9, 2024, but the charges were dismissed with prejudice three days later.

The incident prompted a public discussion on occupational safety in the film industry, the treatment of its employees, and the use of real guns as props.

“There is no way for the court to right this wrong,” said 1st Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer. “The sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy.” The dismissal was with prejudice, meaning the involuntary manslaughter case against the actor cannot be filed again.

Baldwin, 66, sobbed and put his face in his hands as Sommer announced her decision. He then embraced his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, as lawyers and spectators started filing out of the courtroom.

The judge dismissed the Alec Baldwin trial due to the prosecution's failure to bring credibility.

Baldwin could have been sentenced to up to 18 months in prison if the jurors had unanimously agreed he committed the felony. The actor was rehearsing a scene at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County on Oct. 21, 2021, when the prop revolver he was holding went off, killing Hutchins, 42, and wounding director Joel Souza.

The actor, best known for his role on “30 Rock” and appearances on “Saturday Night Live,” had pleaded not guilty. He claims that he was not aware the revolver contained a live round and that it discharged accidentally after he followed instructions to point it toward Hutchins.

Baldwin’s lawyers asserted that the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office took possession of live rounds of ammunition as evidence but did not record them in the official case file or reveal their existence to the actor’s defense team.

Kari Morrissey, the special prosecutor in the case, insisted the disputed ammunition was not linked to the case or hidden from Baldwin’s lawyers.

Morrissey said after the ruling that she was disappointed by the court’s dismissal and disagreed, but respects the decision.

Alec Baldwin better get anger management treatment.

“I believe the importance of the evidence was misconstrued by the defense attorneys,” Morrissey told reporters outside court.

Asked if she believed she let the Hutchins family down, Morrissey said: “No, we didn’t. We did everything humanly possible to bring justice to Halyna and to her family, and we’re proud of the work that we did.”

The dispute over evidence arose Thursday when Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office crime scene technician Marissa Poppell testified under cross-examination that a “good Samaritan” had come to authorities with ammunition earlier this year.

The Colt .45 rounds were delivered to the sheriff’s office in March by Troy Teske, a former police officer and friend of Thell Reed, the stepfather of “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the same day she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins’ death (She was later sentenced to 18 months behind bars.)

Prosecutor Kari Morrissey blew it.

Baldwin’s attorneys asked the judge to dismiss the case in large part because of that revelation, arguing that they should have been told about the Colt .45 rounds — and given the ability to determine for themselves whether the ammunition brought in by Teske was crucial to the case.

The actor and his team had already won a major legal victory this week when Sommer ruled at a pretrial hearing Monday that his role as a co-producer on “Rust” was not relevant to the trial. The move prevented prosecutors from arguing that he bore a special responsibility on the set.

Baldwin is a three-time Emmy winner known for NBC’s “30 Rock” and his record 17 hosting stints on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” He has appeared in films such as “Beetlejuice,” “The Hunt for Red October,” “Glengarry Glen Ross” and “The Cooler,” the last of which earned him an Oscar nomination.

The road to the trial was paved with twists and turns — including on Friday when fellow co-special prosecutor Erlinda Ocampo Johnson resigned.

Ocampo Johnson told NBC News in an interview later that she disagreed with the decision to hold the hearing in the first place, after the evidence issue came to light.

"I believed that the right decision would have been a dismissal," Ocampo Johnson said. She said she believed in the case against Baldwin but that evidence had not been turned over left the judge with no other option.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted.

Baldwin was originally charged with involuntary manslaughter and a firearm enhancement charge, but the latter charge was eventually dropped. The charges were dismissed altogether in April 2023 as prosecutors cited “new facts in the case.” Then, in January, a grand jury indicted him on an involuntary manslaughter charge once again.

Baldwin’s lawyers asked the judge last month to toss the case, arguing that the firearm was badly damaged during forensic testing at an FBI lab. But that motion was denied.

Jason Bowles, the attorney for Gutierrez-Reed, said after Baldwin’s case was dismissed that he will seek freedom for his client.

“Absolutely shocking the pattern of government misconduct in this case and Hannah Gutierrez-Reed’s case,” Bowles said. “We will be moving for her immediate release.”

Ocampo Johnson, the special prosecutor who resigned, said she did not believe that the evidence was withheld on purpose.

"I don’t think it was intentional. I really do not believe that," Ocampo Johnson said. "I think it was just something that — it wasn’t turned over, and it should have been."

Still Fumbling!

He ain't dropping out.

Three weeks and they still talking about the debate, his age, his gaffes and his fitness for a second term. No talk about his rival trying to overturn his conviction. No talk about Republicans not doing anything to protect Americans from gun violence. No talk about issues like the economy, Israel, Ukraine, Gaza, West Bank, Russia, Project 2025, white nationalism in Nashville and the Texas power grid failure.

President Joe Biden hosted world leaders and took questions on Thursday. Of course, he made gaffes and misquotes about Donald J. Trump, Vladimir Putin and Vice President Kamala Harris.

More white Democrats withdraw support.

Look, I don't care about Biden's age or his issues regarding his mental fitness. The only issue I got with Biden is his unwavering support for Israel. His support of Israel has made me aware of the biases we have when it comes to value of human life. As Israel is committing an active genocide, Biden and Western leaders condemn Russia for doing the very same shit in Ukraine. Russia struck civilian facilities and it got worldwide condemnation. Israel does it and most of the of the world condemned it but the West.

The Democratic donors are concerned.

Again, if Biden drops out, Harris is the candidate. There should not be any other.

The new candidate will not be prepared nor able to win back the support of the Biden supporters. No Bernie Sanders. No Hillary Clinton. No Michelle Obama. No Gavin Newsom. No Dean Phillips. No Marianne Williamson. No Wes Moore.

It's Biden or nothing.

Biden warned Democrats that continuing this will only depress turnout and also affect the fundraising his campaign offshoots to local races. 

Biden might avoid endorsing the Democrats who called for him to step aside.

Many of the critics are old too and certainly not Biden or Trump's age.

So on Thursday, Biden did a presser where he took questions for an hour and the white Democrats are still concerned. 

George Clooney, a longtime backer of Democrats has said for Biden to step aside.

D.L. Hughley slams the junk food media for worrying too much about Biden's age and not the policies. He claims that the polls are bogus and most people of color fear a Trump return.

He also took aim at GCI (greedy, corrupt and incompetent) white men and women who attack Harris for being a "DEI" hire. Totally disqualifying her accomplishments and her preparedness for the job.

This white noise is what Biden should expect from the junk food media.

A Shooting On "Blacks For Trump" Agitator's Property Leads For Calls Of Eviction!

And they say they're not in a cult. Blacks for Trump agitator is getting on his neighbors' nerves.

Michael Symonette (aka Maurice Woodside) is a con artist who is most famously known as the "Blacks for Trump" guy. He used to travel across the U.S. to Donald J. Trump campaign rallies. He was the weird Black man who used to be rooting on Trump's idiotic rants.

We haven't seen much of him at these rallies.

Now we know why.

Winners and losers of 2024.

He is struggling to keep his property and the state of Florida have exhausted the excuses and they serving him an eviction and seizure of his property.

So instead of fixing the issues and maintaining his property in good order, he continues to host pedophile parties where situations escalate into gun violence. A shooting at his property now has neighbors in his northwest Miami-Dade County wanting him gone for good.

Symonette said Sunday’s shooting at “Boss Mansion” was staged by Miami-Dade County officials with the aim of taking away his home.

“They tried to have a stage shooting again,” said Symonette.

According to police, the shooting occurred at the weekly parties, thrown by Symonette’s Boss Group Ministries, after two subjects opened fire on people having a party behind the home on South River Drive, near 150th Street.

The gunfire resulted in one man being rushed to the hospital. He is expected to be OK.

But on Tuesday, verbal fireworks popped off as Symonette said he wanted to clear the air by claiming that the shooting did not happen.

“He shoots in the air. This guy, who was supposed to be shot, guess what’s strange about this guy, I walked over to him and I said ‘Man, you got shot?’ He said ‘No man, I just hurt my hip off the jet ski,’ and he was soaking wet so I believed that. Some girls were trying to act like he was shot and he was pressing his shoulder. I said ‘Where did he get shot at?’ and when they lifted it up, there was no blood, no hole, no nothing.

In exclusive video, obtained by 7News, a group of girls surround a man laying down as they tell him to ‘talk to us. Don’t fall asleep.’ Cellphone video showed people arguing before a man wearing orange grabbed at his waistband. A second man was seen with a gun in full view while the man in orange began running and shooting. The video recorded over 50 shots that rang out at the party.

Still, Symonette said his parties are the safest place one can be.

“This is the safest place you can be. That’s why people wanna come here cause we have a safe haven,” he said.

Also on Tuesday morning, 7News obtained Miami-Dade County eviction papers against the home that was filed in June.

The eviction order is the latest development in a lengthy foreclosure battle that has spanned close to 15 years.

According to the order, it reads “YOU ARE COMMANDED to remove all persons from the following described property in Miami-Dade County, Florida.”

But Symonette said the papers aren’t valid.

This dude is almost 70 years old.

“Just because you want the property, you just gonna come take our property,” he said.

He added that bankruptcy and other legal filings is what’s stopping the county from taking away his home. He said he will stay in the house until the law allows.

When pressed on the facts of the case by 7News, Symonette said he believed that the whole situation was “fake and staged.”

“They tried to lie cause we know that our…” said Symonette before he was pressed by 7News reporter Sheldon Fox.

“Why are you making this political? I don’t understand” said Fox.

“Because I want to. This is my interview,” said Symonette.

“Just give us the facts of the case,” said Fox.

“I just gave you the facts. I don’t need to talk to you. I don’t even know you,” said Symonette.

“You called the news conference,” said Fox.

“OK, let me talk then,” said Symonette. “This is not babbling. I’m telling you what happened.”

Symonette said he tried to go to the hospital on Monday night to see the status of the wounded man.

“I wanna know if he’s OK,” said Symonette.

“So, was it staged and fake or are you trying to go visit him in the hospital?” said Fox.

“Yeah, I wanna see if he’s actually shot,” said Symonette.

Neighbors told 7News that this is not the first shooting that has happened at the home and said that their complaints about their neighbor have not been addressed.

“This neighborhood becomes a mess because of these people here,” said Erika Willingham after this recent shooting. “This is a residential area and it’s not supposed to be like this. I pray they burn it down.”

When asked to comment on his neighbors’ concerns, he said “I sympathize with them.”

In 2022, one person was fatally shot and three others were injured during a party at the home.

According to Miami-Dade Police, a fight broke out between a 22-year-old man and a 24-year-old man during that party.

Symonette also spoke to 7News following the 2022 incident.

“I wasn’t even here last night because I wasn’t throwing a function last night,” said Symonette.

In the last 14 years, Symonette has challenged the foreclosure and other eviction orders.

As of Tuesday evening, no arrests have been made in Sunday’s shooting.

If you have any information on this shooting or the subjects’ whereabouts, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.

Benji Gregory Passed Away!

Benji Gregory, a former child actor best known for his role on ALF passed away from heat illness.

Benji Gregory, a child actor who was best known for his role on the NBC sitcom ALF passed away after he was discovered in his vehicle with his service dog. He was living in Arizona, possibly homeless.

On June 13, 2024, Gregory and his service dog were found dead inside a car at a Chase Bank parking lot in Peoria, Arizona. Gregory was 46. However, news of his his death was not publicly disclosed until July 10, 2024, when the cause of his death was still under investigation. His sister said Gregory had suffered from depression, bipolar disorder and a sleep disorder and said he likely died of a heatstroke after falling asleep in his car.

Gregory, whose legal name was Benjamin Gregory Hertzberg, died on June 13, according to records from the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner. The cause of his death is pending.

Gregory’s sister, Rebecca Pfaffinger, told The New York Times that her brother’s body was found in his car in the parking lot of a bank in Peoria, outside Phoenix. He apparently had gone there to deposit some residual checks, she said. His dog Hans also died in the vehicle.

Gregory and his service dog were found in a vehicle dead from excessive heat.

Because the cause of death is still being investigated, it is unknown whether Arizona’s summer heat played a role. The high temperature in metro Phoenix hit 108 F (42.2 C) the day of Gregory’s death, according to National Weather Service records.

Gregory was 8 when he gained fame playing Brian Tanner on the NBC show about a family that took in “ALF” — a hairy alien life form — after the creature’s spaceship crashed. He also appeared in commercials and other TV shows, including “The A-Team” and “Fantasy Island.”

As an adult, Gregory enlisted in the U.S. Navy and became an aerographer’s mate, tracking the weather for aviation and nautical safety, according to the entertainment database IMDb,

There was no word on additional survivors or a memorial service.

Shelley Duvall Passed Away!

Shelley Duvall, life was troubled. She passed away from diabetes.

The former actress and reclusive has passed away. Best known for her role as Wendy Torrance, the protagonist and scream queen from The Shining, Shelley Duvall has passed away from complications from diabetes. She was 75 years old.

She was driven from Hollywood because of Stanley Kubrick. The director called her ugly, useless and not a good actress while filming the movie. Jack Nicholson defended her and thought of the movie role she had didn't given enough screen time. 

She was diagnosed as schizophrenic and bipolar, a lifelong smoker and a recluse. She was living in Texas with her partner. 

Iconic.

Dr. Phil McGraw, a controversial phony psychologist and media personality tried to exploit her mental illness and hoarding life. More on that later.

She returned to acting briefly after being out of it for nearly 20 years.

Duvall died Thursday in her sleep at home in Blanco, Texas, her longtime partner, Dan Gilroy, announced. The cause was complications from diabetes, said her friend, the publicist Gary Springer.

“My dear, sweet, wonderful life, partner, and friend left us last night,” Gilroy said in a statement. “Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away beautiful Shelley.”

Duvall was attending junior college in Texas when Altman’s crew members, preparing to film “Brewster McCloud,” encountered her at a Houston party in 1970. They introduced the 20-year-old to the director, who cast her in “Brewster McCloud” and made her his protege.

Duvall would go on to appear in Altman films including “Thieves Like Us,” “Nashville,” “Popeye,” “Three Women” and “McCabe & Mrs. Miller.”

Shelley played the protagonist Wendy Torrance. She had to protect Danny and herself from her drunken possessed husband Jack. 

He offers me damn good roles,” Duvall told The New York Times in 1977. “None of them have been alike. He has a great confidence in me, and a trust and respect for me, and he doesn’t put any restrictions on me or intimidate me, and I love him. I remember the first advice he ever gave me: ‘Don’t take yourself seriously.’”

Duvall, gaunt and gawky, was no conventional Hollywood starlet. But she had a beguilingly frank manner and exuded a singular naturalism. The film critic Pauline Kael called her the “female Buster Keaton.”

At her peak, Duvall was a regular star in some of the defining movies of the 1970s. In “The Shining” (1980), she played Wendy Torrance, who watches in horror as her husband, Jack (Jack Nicholson), goes crazy while their family is isolated in the Overlook Hotel. It was Duvall’s screaming face that made up half of the film’s most iconic image, along with Jack’s axe coming through the door.

Kubrick, a famous perfectionist, was notoriously hard on Duvall in making “The Shining.” His methods of pushing her through countless takes in the most anguished scenes took a toll on the actor. One scene was reportedly performed in 127 takes. The entire shoot took 13 months. Duvall, in a 1981 interview with People magazine, said she was crying “12 hours a day for weeks on end” during the film’s production.

“I will never give that much again,” said Duvall. “If you want to get into pain and call it art, go ahead, but not with me.”

The scream queen.

Duvall disappeared from movies almost as quickly as she arrived in them. By the 1990s, she began retiring from acting and retreated from public life.

“How would you feel if people were really nice, and then, suddenly, on a dime, they turn on you?” Duvall told the Times earlier this year. “You would never believe it unless it happens to you. That’s why you get hurt, because you can’t really believe it’s true.”

Duvall, the oldest of four, was born in Fort Worth, Texas, on July 7, 1949. Her father, Robert, was a cattle auctioneer before working in law and her mother, Bobbie, was a real estate agent.

Duvall married the artist Bernard Sampson in 1970. They divorced four years later.

Duvall was in a long-term relationship with the musician Paul Simon in the late ’70s after meeting during the making of Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall.” (Duvall played the rock critic who keeps declaring things “transplendent.”) She also dated Ringo Starr. During the making of the 1990 Disney Channel movie “Mother Goose Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Duvall met the musician Dan Gilroy, of the group Breakfast Club, with whom she remained until her death.

Shelley Duvall plays Olive Oyl and Robin Williams played Popeye.

Duvall’s run in the 1970s was remarkably versatile. In the rugged Western “ McCabe & Mrs. Miller” (1971), she played the mail-order bride Ida. She was a groupie in “Nashville” (1975) and Olive Oyl, opposite Robin Williams, in “Popeye” (1980). In “3 Women,” co-starring Sissy Spacek and Janice Rule, Duvall played Millie Lammoreaux, a Palm Springs health spa worker, and won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival.

In the 1980s, Duvall produced and hosted a number of children’s TV series, among them “Faerie Tale Theatre,” “Tall Tales & Legends” and “Shelley Duvall’s Bedtime Stories.”

Duvall moved back to Texas in the mid-1990s. Around 2002, after making the comedy “Manna from Heaven,” she retreated from Hollywood completely. Her whereabouts became a favorite topic of internet sleuths. A favorite but incorrect theory was that it was residual trauma from the grueling shoot for “The Shining.” Another was that the damage to her home after the 1994 Northridge earthquake was the last straw.

I've lived a good life.

To those living in Texas Hill Country, where Duvall lived for some 30 years, she was neither in “hiding” nor a recluse. But her circumstances were a mystery to both the media and many of her old Hollywood friends. That changed in 2016, when producers for the “Dr. Phil” show tracked her down and aired a controversial hourlong interview with her in which she spoke about her mental health issues. “I’m very sick. I need help,” Duvall said on the program, which was widely criticized for being exploitative.

I found out the kind of person he is the hard way,” Duvall told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021.

THR journalist Seth Abramovitch wrote at the time that he went on a pilgrimage to find her because “it didn’t feel right for McGraw’s insensitive sideshow to be the final word on her legacy.”

Duvall attempted to restart her career, dipping her toe in with the indie horror “The Forest Hills” that filmed in 2022 and premiered quietly in early 2023.

“Acting again — it’s so much fun,” Duvall told People at the time. “It enriches your life.”

Karim A.A. Khan Didn't Trust The Flight!

Israel is plotting an assassination of a world court prosecutor.

The U.S. and Great Britian were asking International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan to travel to Israel and the Gaza Strip to get a hands on look as it was conducting an investigation into actions being committed by both parties.

Khan was about to travel to the Middle East but ended up cancelling it.

The prosecutor decided to fast track the warrants against Israeli and Hamas officials.

Something tells me that Khan had a credible threat on his life and given how many of these "accidents" involve flights, he made the right call. The Guardian had reported that Israeli spies had tried to blackmail ICC prosecutors and some have threaten the lives of their families.

Israel is notorious for carrying out assassination attacks which are illegal.

Khan is being threatened with sanctions by the U.S. government. They said if the prosecutors carry out arrest of Israeli regime official, they will ban Khan and his family.

They will end remaining UNRWA aid and end aid to Palestinians.

The U.S. shows no credibility as they are outraged over Russia conducting strikes on hospitals, schools, shopping centers and refugee camps. But as Israel is conducting strikes on the same, the U.S. is either silent or defending the actions.

The Guardian reported that the Israelis threatened the previous prosecutor and convinced the U.S. to ban her from entry into the country.

The former head of the Mossad, Israel’s incompemptant foreign intelligence agency, allegedly threatened a chief prosecutor of the ICC in a series of secret meetings in which he tried to pressure her into abandoning a war crimes investigation, the Guardian can reveal.

Yossi Cohen’s covert contacts with the ICC’s then prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, took place in the years leading up to her decision to open a formal investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in occupied Palestinian territories.

That investigation, launched in 2021, culminated last week when Bensouda’s successor, Karim Khan, announced that he was seeking an arrest warrant for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, over the country’s conduct in its war in Gaza.

The prosecutor’s decision to apply to the ICC’s pre-trial chamber for arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his defence minister, Yoav Gallant, alongside three Hamas leaders, is an outcome Israel’s military and political establishment has long feared.

You Don't Hear Black Lawmakers Calling For Biden To Step Aside!

When Black lawmakers call for Biden to drop out, then you know you got a problem.

When former president Barack Obama and Black U.S. lawmakers (besides the five Black Republicans) call for President Joe Biden to step aside, then you'll have a problem. The Black Caucus is standing by Biden.

Vice President Kamala Harris is sticking with Biden. Most Black lawmakers are sticking with Biden.

Of all the Democrats that are calling for Biden to step aside, its white lawmakers, white media agitators, Black critics like Van Jones and Charlamagne tha God and of course social media.

All white noise.

To be honest, if we have to replace Biden, it would be Harris. To replace him with someone who is not Harris robs the millions of Democratic voters who backed Biden when he ran against Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson.

The Democratic National Convention will certainly have controversies. There will be protests because of Biden's support of Israel and there are calls for delegates to revolt.

This is all expected but not likely a big issue where it may down turnout.

Republicans are standing by former president Donald J. Trump.

Seriously, they are sticking with a man who is senile, an habitual liar, an adulterer, a sexual predator an instigator of political extremism, a fraudster, a convict felon and a terrible father.

Melania Trump is not on the campaign trail with Trump. She rather be in Florida enjoying retirement. Trump is doing it for political revenge.

Biden warned Democrats who call for him to step aside that he will not back their bids nor push the coffers of donations to the defend them from off primary challenges.

House Democrats had a meeting where the phones were put away, electronics were turned off and the room was swept for listening equipment. The conversation took place Sunday afternoon during a call convened by House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York. During the call, which lasted over an hour, Biden’s future as the leader of the party was heavily called into question, according to the sources.

Each lawmaker was given a chance to speak in order of seniority. Even those who did not explicitly call on Biden to bow out expressed concerns that he is not the strongest candidate to beat former President Donald Trump in November, additional sources said.

There was an overwhelming sense among lawmakers that Vice President Kamala Harris would be a better nominee than Biden and that she would be the obvious choice to replace Biden should he exit the race, the additional sources said.

Jeffries’ office declined to comment on the call.

Polling has indicated that concerns over Biden’s age, 81, have long been a top issue for voters, but his widely panned debate performance on June 27 prompted conversations among lawmakers and donors about whether he was the best candidate to face Trump, 78, in the fall. Democrats in Congress have expressed their concerns both publicly and privately.

Some House Democrats in battleground districts are weighing whether to distance themselves from Biden.

Manipulating Ex-Con Gets The Hollywood Treatment!

Who says murder doesn't pay?

Winners and losers of 2024.

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard spent eight of ten years in the iron college for murdering her mother.

Rather she manipulated a man to do it for her. Now this man spends his life in the iron college while Blanchard is enjoying freedom and getting bank off her murder conviction and the story of being a victim of an abusive mother.

By the way, she is separated from her pedophile milquetoast husband and is dating a man who looks like a convicted felon/sexual predator. He look like he's going to manipulating her. Well she is manipulating as well so it comes as no surprise that shortly after her release, she would take advantage of her husband by cheating on him. She is making millions off her grift and shows little remorse for the actions that led her to the iron college.

Now she is on social media and telling stories about how she wants to start a family and put an end to the drama of her past. Of course, write a book, do cosmetic tips, share vacation photos and get interviews in the junk food media.

All the signs in my honest opinion of a unrepentant murderer.

Oh, she is pregnant as well.

White privilege is real. 

Pregnant by new boyfriend. I guess she once called this creep an ex-fiance.

She is treated like Mary Kay Fualaau (nee Letourneau). The junk food media followed this woman like a rock star at one time. Falaau married with four children, had an affair with a 12 year old and got pregnant by him. She went to the iron college for seven years and gave birth to her second child. Once she got out she married him. He ended up struggling to stay afloat while she was cashing in on her infamy. She and her victim divorced. She died in 2020 of cancer.

Yeah, OJ Simpson was vilified after he was found not guilty of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. He was trying to build his life back. The junk food media and the victim's families did not want that. Simpson, a once charised Golden Boy was labeled a murderer. It followed him to his grave. He died in April 2024 of cancer.

Blanchard should get the OJ Simpson treatment. Or at least fade like Charlie Sheen.

Sheen lost his mind in 2011 after he found out he had HIV. 

Blanchard with estranged husband and her bodyguard.

He ended up losing his television and movie gigs when he revealed in 2015 he was diagnosed with it. The lawsuits from women who said that he had reckless behavior also led to a blacklisting. 

Blanchard should be blacklisted. Not celebrated.

She needs to carry on with her life without the junk food media thrusting her reckless decisions as successes.

I mean if this was a Black woman, you wouldn't expect the celebrity?

Botham Jean's Killer Is Up For Parole!

Amber Guyger could be out if Greg Abbott's racist ass grants her parole.

Amber Guyger, the former Dallas Police officer who murdered Botham Jean was sent to the iron college for 10 years. The involuntary manslaughter conviction was not what the Jean family wanted. Her mandatory five years is required. Now as she is approaching the five year tragedy of his passing, Botham Jean will still never get the justice he deserves.

Guyger, who had a five year stint with Dallas Police was on the phone and not paying attention when she jarred a door belonging to Jean. She entered the home and immediately shot Jean eating ice cream in his underwear. 

Guyger did not render aid. At the time of emergency crews, a witness saw Guyger was sobbing and concocting a story to why the hell she shot a man in his own home. The investigators had come to the conclusion that Guyger was reckless despite her excuse of working a 13.5 hour shift.

Guyger's disregard of the safety of a civilian even if she thought he was a suspect, the Texas Rangers saw that she exercised poor choices and it required an arrest. She was terminated and arrested soon after.

The incident made national headlines. She was convicted and sentenced. Jean's distraught brother and the Dallas judge even embraced her and hugged her.

The sentence was light. It would become a boiling pot for more police shootings and killings. The George Floyd murder became the catalyst of rally cries to do something about police violence. 

Botham Jean was an innocent man. The junk food media tried to make him a villain.

Guyger and many other former police officers got trained through an Israeli-American law enforcement pact. Israel is the primary source of training for American law enforcement. That also came into question.

However, they will have an opportunity to decide whether Guyger deserves parole.

She is in the fifth year of her term. This makes her eligible for parole. In September, Guyger and her attorneys will make a plea for parole seeing that she has not committed any violations while in Gatesville Womens Lockup.

She will put on the sob story about how she missed out her family issues, wanting to start a new life and claims of writing to her pastor or the victim's family pleading for forgiveness. 

I am just using hypothetical words but this is what I expect of her.

September 2024 will be the deciding time for Guyger.

I hope they deny it.

The Supreme Court rejected her appeals after she tried to get the conviction overturned in state courts.

Jay Johnston Is A Washed Up Actor Turned Felon!

Former actor faces a five year bid if the feds throw the book at him

Winners and losers of 2024.

The former Bob's Burgers actor and comedian plead guilty for his part in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He will get a sentence and some federal time out.

Jay Johnston, 55, who played protagonist Jimmy Pesto in Bob's Burgers faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison after pleading guilty to civil disorder, a felony. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols is scheduled to sentence Johnston on Oct. 7.

The estimated sentencing guidelines for Johnston recommend a prison term ranging from eight to 14 months, but the judge isn’t bound by that term of his plea agreement with prosecutors.

Johnston’s attorney, Stanley Woodward, told his client not to comment to reporters as they left the courtroom.

Johnston, who was arrested last June, is one of more than 1,400 people charged with federal crimes stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Your honor, I was just visiting.

Video footage captured Johnston pushing against police and helping rioters who attacked officers guarding an entrance to the Capitol in a tunnel on the Lower West Terrace, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit. Johnston held a stolen police shield over his head and passed it to other rioters during the attack on Jan. 6, 2021, the affidavit says.

Johnston “was close to the entrance to the tunnel, turned back and signaled for other rioters to come towards the entrance,” the agent wrote.

Johnston appeared on “Mr. Show with Bob and David,” an HBO sketch comedy series that starred Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. His credits also include small parts on the television show “Arrested Development” and in the movie “Anchorman,” starring Will Ferrell.

A court filing accompanying Johnston’s plea agreement says he used his cellphone to record rioters as they broke through barricades and sent police officers retreating. Facing the crowd on the Lower West Terrace, Johnston pounded his fist together and pointed. Another rioter handed him a bottle of water, which he used to help others flush out chemicals from their eyes.

After passing the stolen shield, Johnson joined other rioters in collectively pushing against police officers guarding the tunnel entrance. He left the tunnel minutes later, according to the agreement signed by Johnston.

Three current or former associates of Johnston identified him as a riot suspect from photos that the FBI published online, according to the agent. The FBI said one of those associates provided investigators with a text message in which Johnston acknowledged being at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

A career thrown away because of Trump.

“The news has presented it as an attack. It actually wasn’t. Thought it kind of turned into that. It was a mess. Got maced and tear gassed and I found it quite untastic,” Johnston wrote, according to the FBI.

Also on Monday, a Texas woman pleaded guilty to assaulting a Metropolitan Police Department officer during the Jan. 6 riot. Video captured Dana Jean Bell cursing at officers inside the Capitol and grabbing an officer’s baton, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit.

Bell, 65, of Princeton, Texas, also was captured on video assaulting a local television journalist outside the Capitol that day. The FBI affidavit says Bell appeared to reach out and try to push or grab the journalist, who worked for the Fox affiliate in Washington, D.C.

Bell faces a maximum sentence of eight years in prison. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly is scheduled to sentence her on Oct. 17. Her estimated sentencing guidelines recommend a term of imprisonment ranging from two years to two years and six months.

Bell and her attorney, Joe Shearin, declined to comment as they left the courtroom.
