  2. As the world woke up to Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, Billie Eilish summed up her thoughts in five simple words. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday morning (Nov. 6), the “Birds of a Feather” singer posted her message over a black background to her audience of 120 million followers. “It’s a war on women,” she wrote. The singer’s reaction comes within the context of Trump’s chilling promises when it comes to reproductive rights in the United States. When asked directly in the September presidential debate if he would support a national abor**on ban, the president-elect repeatedly dodged the question. His running mate, JD Vance, has said that Trump would veto such a ban, but Trump has repeatedly applauded the Supreme Court and other federally appointed judges who upheld abor**on bans in states across the U.S. While Trump won the presidency — Republicans took control of the Senate and could still win control of the House of Representatives — seven states (Arizona, Colorado, New York, Maryland, Missouri, Montana and Nevada) passed measures to protect abor**on access, while three states (Florida, South Dakota and Nebraska) voted to further restrict access to abor**on. Eilish’s comments come after the singer spent the last two months vocally advocating for Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the presidency. During a Sunday concert in Atlanta, Eilish paused her show to urge concertgoers to vote for Harris. “Times are really scary and a lot is at stake and I know that if you’re in this room and you support me, you support women,” Eilish said. “I hope that you will vote for Kamala Harris.” Billie Eilish Calls Out the ‘War on Women’ After Trump’s Victory WWW.BILLBOARD.COM Billie Eilish reacts to Donald Trump winning in the 2024 presidential election.

  3. JK Rowling made the subject popular yesterday when she accuses one of the female boxers of not being enoughly classified as a woman (apparently because of one of the evaluations) to be fighting against each other. See the tweets below. What is behind this story? Imane Khelif remained in the ring for just 46 seconds before Italian Angela Carini, claiming severe pain in her nose, abandoned the fight. It might have gone unnoticed among the dozens of simultaneous events at the Games, were it not for the context: Imane is one of the boxers who failed the IBA tests and was authorized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to compete. Khelif lost her chance to compete for the gold medal at the 2023 World Boxing Championships after being eliminated on the eve of the match for "failing to meet the eligibility criteria" for the competition. The IBA - the International Boxing Association that organizes the World Championships - said the reason would not be disclosed for reasons of medical confidentiality, and it maintains that position to this day. The organization's president, Umar Kremlev, however, told Russian news outlets at the time that "DNA tests on two female boxers proved that they have XY (male) chromosomes and that is why they were excluded." Those test results have never been published. According to the IOC report, Khelif was removed from the World Championships for exceeding the limit for testosterone levels in her body. The IBA denies this information. Yu-Ting, in a similar situation, lost her bronze medal. Khelif also appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but later withdrew the case, leaving the IBA decision in force. Both boxers, however, have been cleared by the International Olympic Committee to compete in the Games. The IOC uses different rules to the IBA, based on the Tokyo criteria, and has confirmed that they meet the necessary medical criteria. This scenario has sparked criticism in comments on social media, with many wrongly calling her a transgender athlete and calling for Khelif to be expelled from the competition. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni spoke about the case upon her arrival at Casa Italia: – I did not agree with the choice of 2021 when the IOC changed the regulations on this matter, I do not agree today – said Meloni. – I thank Angela for the way she fought. I regret that she gave up. I was moved when she wrote: "I will fight" because in these things what counts is head and dedication, but it also counts to be able to compete on equal terms. And this was not a challenge on equal terms – he said. Khelif, however, was born a girl and grew up a cis woman - identifying with the gender she was assigned at birth. As a child, she was raised in a rural village and was unable to participate in sports because her father "did not approve of boxing for girls." It is therefore not a question of transgender athletes, something that the IOC itself is keen to emphasize. “They have lost and won against other women over time and we need to make it very clear, this is not a transgender issue. I know you know that, but there have been some reporting errors, it is very important to say this is not a transgender issue,” said IOC spokesman Mark Adams. – Many women can have testosterone levels at what are called “male” levels and still be women, can still compete as women – she continued. – This idea that you can do a testosterone test and that will solve everything, that is not the case, I believe. But each sport needs to deal with its own issues. They know their sports and disciplines best and need to seek and adapt their tests. But I think we agree that we do not want to go back to the days of the battle of s** tests, which were a horrible thing to do – he adds. Why does the IOC use different rules than the IBA? The IOC withdrew its recognition of the IBA as boxing's governing body for failing to complete reforms to the body's governance, finances and ethics. The IBA appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport but its appeal was rejected. In Paris, therefore, the boxing competition is being organized by the Paris Boxing Unit, which has developed its own medical and qualification rules. The PBU allowed both athletes to participate based on the Tokyo rules, which had fewer restrictions than the IBA's - based on the post-Rio 2016 rules that were in place before the federation's suspension. IOC spokesman Mark Adams said the organization was completely comfortable with the rules in place. In order to keep boxing in the next Olympics, the IOC has asked national boxing federations and national Olympic committees to find a replacement for the IBA from 2025 onwards. What does the IBA say? The IBA said this week that Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif had been disqualified from the 2023 World Championships as a "result of a failure to meet the eligibility criteria to participate in the women's competition" , as it said at the time. It called it "an extremely important decision and necessary to maintain the level of fairness and integrity of the competition". It adds that the athletes "were not tested for testosterone but underwent a separate, recognised test, the details of which remain confidential". It says the test indicated that both did not meet the necessary eligibility criteria and were considered to have competitive advantages over other competitors. The disqualification was based on two tests carried out: Test during the 2022 Istanbul World Cup Test during the 2023 New Delhi World Cup Why were they only disqualified at the end of the competition in 2023? This was a question from the Boxing Council, which ended up approving the exclusion of the athletes in a meeting on March 25, 2023, since they had gone through different phases of the competition without questioning. The meeting was reported in a document to which ge had access. On the occasion, the IBA Secretary General and CEO, who led the negotiations, said that the test took place at the request of the Technical Delegate and Medical Jury of the Championships, which came out seven days after the request, and that the athletes were notified to appeal the decision to the CAS. A similar test had been carried out on the athletes by another laboratory in the previous edition of the World Cup, but the results were only released after the event. The proposal to rectify the decision to disqualify them - taken by the Secretary and CEO - was approved by the majority, with one abstention and one vote against. The IOC understands this as a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA, without due process. source (in brazilian portuguese) Entenda por que boxeadora reprovada pela IBA foi liberada pelo COI para lutar em Paris GE.GLOBO.COM Reprovada em testes da IBA e liberada pelo COI para os Jogos, Imane Khelif, da Argélia, torna-se centro de debate após italiana abandonar luta com dores no nariz; veja o que dizem as entidades

  6. I genuinely am not one to speculate or fixate on someone’s looks. It’s none of my business however I have to say something…. she looks different than she did in the 2008 news release when she first made it on the scene away from her 3 sports person roster. Prior to this it was alleged that she stalked Britney, prior to entering her life in alleged emails sent to (and leaked by) Sam Lutfi where she asks why he is letting Lou into her life and why he isn’t protecting her (because he wasn’t) She objectively looks more fresh faced these days……… and different tbh Am I rude for making this topic I legitimately would never shame anyone, I think it’s fine tbh. I am just perhaps seeing things

  8. Poor criminal rat F.B.I. Searches Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Residence in Florida - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM The former president called the search an “assault” and complained that authorities had broken into a safe. The news appeared to come as a surprise to top aides at the White House. Former President Donald J. Trump said on Monday that the F.B.I. had searched his Palm Beach, Fla., home and had broken open a safe — an account signaling a major escalation in the various investigations into the final stages of his presidency. The search, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation, appeared to be focused on material that Mr. Trump had brought with him to Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence, when he left the White House. Those boxes contained many pages of classified documents, according to a person familiar with their contents. Mr. Trump delayed returning 15 boxes of material requested by officials with the National Archives for many months, only doing so when there became a threat of action to retrieve them. The case was referred to the Justice Department by the archives early this year. The search marked the latest remarkable turn in the long-running investigations into Mr. Trump’s actions before, during and after his presidency — and even as he weighs announcing another candidacy for the White House. It came as the Justice Department has stepped up its separate inquiry into Mr. Trump’s efforts to remain in office after his defeat at the polls in the 2020 election and as the former president also faces an accelerating criminal inquiry in Georgia and civil actions in New York. Mr. Trump has long cast the F.B.I. as a tool of Democrats who have been out to get him, and the search set off a furious reaction among his supporters in the Republican Party and on the far right of American politics. Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the Republican leader in the House, suggested that he intended to investigate Attorney General Merrick B. Garland if Republicans took control of the House in November. The F.B.I. would have needed to convince a judge that it had probable cause that a crime had been committed, and that agents might find evidence at Mar-a-Lago, to get a search warrant. Proceeding with a search on a former president’s home would almost surely have required sign-off from top officials at the bureau and the Justice Department. The search, however, does not mean prosecutors have determined that Mr. Trump committed a crime. An F.B.I. representative declined to comment, as did Justice Department officials. The F.B.I. director, Christopher A. Wray, was appointed by Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump was in the New York area at the time of the search. “Another day in paradise,” he said Monday night during a telephone rally for Sarah Palin, who is running for a congressional seat in Alaska. Eric Trump, one of his sons, told Fox News that he was the one who informed his father that the search was taking place, and he said the search warrant was related to presidential documents. Mr. Trump, who campaigned for president in 2016 criticizing Hillary Clinton’s practice of maintaining a private email server for government-related messages while she was secretary of state, was known throughout his term to rip up official material that was intended to be held for presidential archives. One person familiar with his habits said that included classified material that was shredded in his bedroom and elsewhere. The search was at least in part for whether any records remained at the club, a person familiar with it said. It took place on Monday morning, the person said, although Mr. Trump said agents were still there many hours later. “After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Mr. Trump said, maintaining it was an effort to stop him from running for president in 2024. “Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries.” “They even broke into my safe!” he wrote. Mr. Trump did not share any details about what the F.B.I. agents said they were searching for. Aides to President Biden said they were stunned by the development and learned of it from Twitter. The search came as the Justice Department has also been stepping up questioning of former Trump aides who had been witnesses to discussions and planning in the White House of Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn his election loss. Mr. Trump has been the focus of questions asked by federal prosecutors in connection with a scheme to send “fake” electors to Congress for the certification of the Electoral College. The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol also continues its work and is interviewing witnesses this week. The law governing the preservation of White House materials, the Presidential Records Act, lacks teeth, but criminal statutes can come into play, especially in the case of classified material. Criminal codes, which carry jail time, can be used to prosecute anyone who “willfully injures or commits any depredation against any property of the United States” and anyone who “willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates or destroys” government documents. Samuel R. Berger, a national security adviser to President Bill Clinton, pleaded guilty in 2015 to a misdemeanor charge for removing classified material from a government archive. In 2007, Donald Keyser, an Asia expert and former senior State Department official, was sentenced to prison after he confessed to keeping more than 3,000 sensitive documents — ranging from the classified to the top secret — in his basement. In 1999, the C.I.A. announced it had suspended the security clearance of its former director, John M. Deutch, after concluding that he had improperly handled national secrets on a desktop computer at his home. In January of this year, the archives retrieved 15 boxes that Mr. Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago from the White House residence when his term ended. The boxes included material subject to the Presidential Records Act, which requires that all documents and records pertaining to official business be turned over to the archives. The items in the boxes included documents, mementos, gifts and letters. The archives did not describe the classified material it found other than to say that it was “classified national security information.” Because the National Archives “identified classified information in the boxes,” the agency “has been in communication with the Department of Justice,” David S. Ferriero, the national archivist, told Congress at the time. Federal prosecutors subsequently began a grand jury investigation, according to two people briefed on the matter. Prosecutors issued a subpoena earlier this year to the archives to obtain the boxes of classified documents, according to the two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation. The authorities also made interview requests to people who worked in the White House in the final days of Mr. Trump’s presidency, according to one of the people. In the spring, a small coterie of federal agents visited Mar-a-Lago in search of some documents, according to a person familiar with the meeting. At least one of the agents was involved in counterintelligence, according to the person. The question of how Mr. Trump has handled sensitive material and documents he received as president loomed throughout his time in the White House, and beyond. He was known to rip up pieces of official paper that he was handed, forcing officials to tape them back together. And an upcoming book by a New York Times reporter reveals that staff members would find clumps of torn-up paper clogging a toilet, and believed he had thrown them in. The question of how Mr. Trump handled classified material is complicated because as president he had the authority to declassify any government information. It is unclear whether Mr. Trump, before leaving office, had declassified materials the archives discovered in the boxes. Under federal law, he no longer maintains the ability to declassify documents after leaving office. While in office, he invoked the power to declassify information several times as his administration publicly released materials that helped him politically, particularly on issues like the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. Toward the end of the administration, Mr. Trump ripped pictures that intrigued him out of the President’s Daily Brief — a compendium of often classified information about potential national security threats — but it is unclear whether he took them to the residence with him. In one prominent example of how he dealt with classified material, Mr. Trump in 2019 took a highly classified spy satellite image of an Iranian missile launch site, declassified it and then released the photo on Twitter. Earlier this year, Kash Patel, a former Defense Department senior official and Trump loyalist whom Mr. Trump named as one of his representatives to engage with the National Archives, suggested to the right-wing website Breitbart that Mr. Trump had declassified the documents before leaving the White House and that the proper markings simply had not been adjusted. “Trump declassified whole sets of materials in anticipation of leaving government that he thought the American public should have the right to read themselves,” he said, according to Breitbart. Local television crews showed supporters of Mr. Trump gathering near Mar-a-Lago, some of them being aggressive toward reporters. Mr. Trump made clear in his statement that he sees potential political value in the search, something some of his advisers echoed, depending on what any investigation produces. His political team began sending fund-raising solicitations about the search late on Monday evening.

  15. The first Earth Day was recognized on April 22, 1970 as a series of protests swept across the United States demanding action be taken to stop environmental degradation, limit pollution, and protect resources we rely on to survive as a species. Since then, it’s become more clear that human behaviors, corporate and governmental policies, and other actions have contributed to a rapidly changing climate, and drastic shifts need to happen to stave off the worst impacts of climate change. So, what ways do you care for the Earth on this day and everyday? Do you join local protests, participate in local events, or something else? How have you seen the climate change around you? Do you have any favorite music or art that honors the Earth? Discuss.

  20. Anybody hoping for a reboot of the original Charmed, that ain't gonna happen. Allysa Milano and Rose McGowan are forever enemies, and while skull dragging Alyssa, she wants to remind the world, while her movement was stolen from her, Rose was gaslighted by her Charmed Co star, Mocked and Humiliated and basically exiled from Hollywood. With the news of The investigation of Governor Cuomo coming out to reveal it's much worse than anybody thought, Rose wants everybody to Know Hollywood is all fake and so is all these feminists and so called male feminists who supported Me too, it was all paid for, cos Hollywood pays celebs to Be activists to causes to stuff that they are doing to their clients just for their clients they represent to keep working. Like rose said stay woke to real situation. Which kinda makes me wonder are artists and supporters being paid to say they support other grass roots moments like Free Britney, the way Rose explains Hollywood all signs point to yes and a may be. And I don't believe Rose will ever get the credit for revealing the monster that Is Harvey Weinstein, that also went to Alyssa Milano. Side note: Britney Jean and I'm positive all team con album are represented by. Seth, Ken, Rob and Jeffrey Azoff and my entire team at CAA!!! (They're involved with the conservatorship as well!!!!) Times up indeed. @Style. nicki is silent cos of her manager is part of a major organization that's involved with team con. @Jordan Miller @Slayer @I Always Sing Live the agency Rose called out represents Britney as well per her thank yous on albums beginning with Circus.
  21. The country of Canada is in revolt. As of right now over 150,000 truckers and 2.5 million people have descended onto the parliament building in Ottawa, Ontario to fight against the totalitarian lockdowns and useless mandates. They are now proven not to work and is causing more problems than they are fixing. Mental health problems, suicide have gone way up and over 50% of small businesses are gone forever. The media in Canada is 100% owned by the government and is censoring all information and news coming from the protest. They are actively painting it as a white supremacist movement. People are so fed up even the large aboriginal community has come out in full force to support the movement. This is a peaceful protest. This is not an anti vaccine protest, actually more than 90% of truckers are double or triple vaccinated. So are many of the people there. For the first time in a long time I have been proud of my country and the people. It’s beautiful to see people coming together to fight against a tyrannical government. This post is not for preaching some sort of rhetoric but for information purposes only about something going on in the world. These people will not leave Ottawa until all mandates in Canada are lifted and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigns.
  22. ''Novak Djokovic will not be able to defend his Australian Open title after authorities revoked his visa and decided to deport him. The Australian government made the decision last year that all players must be fully vaccinated to enter the country, although they would make some medical examptions available in sepcial cases. Djokovic travelled to Australia on Wednesday believing he was one such case, but he found himself detained at the airport for hours while the legitimacy of his claims were checked. Ultimately, it was decided the world number one had not provided sufficient evidence to support his medical exemption and his visa was cancelled. "The Australian Border Force will continue to ensure that those who arrive at our border comply with our laws and entry requirements." an ABF statement read. "The ABF can confirm that Mr Djokovic failed to provide appropriate evidence to meet the entry requirements to Australia, and his visa has been subsequently cancelled. "Non-citizens who do not hold a valid visa on entry or who have had their visa cancelled will be detained and removed from Australia. "The ABF can confirm Mr Djokovic had access to his phone." Djokovic was then taken to a quarantine hotel while arrangements for made to remove him from the country, atlthough reports claim he will appeal the decision.'' Djokovic is a nine-time Australian Open champion and another victory in Melbourne this year would have seen him surpass Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the race for the most career major titles. So basically Novak did not get the vaccine due to medical condition (it's known he has asthma and celiac disease), he got the medical pass and went to Australia. There, he couldn't exit the plane when he landed. He was taken by the police and he was under surveillance and with his phone taken away for more than 6 hours. After Serbian and Australian ambacies got their **** together, he was sent back home. The reason: his visa was filled the wrong way and the medical pass does not count (according to Australian prime minister- EVERYONE has to get the vaxx.) https://www.planetsport.com/tennis/news/rules-rules-novak-djokovic-deported-leave-australian-open-hopes-tatters Also, all this happened exactly 2 years after Dokovic made donations to Australia during the 2019s wildfires. UPDATE 01/10/22- Hearing has been postponed. Dokovic lawyers are still trying to appeal UPDATE- '' Novak Djokovic Can Remain in Australia, Judge Rules The court ordered the government to release him from detention and restore a visa. But Australian officials suggested they may make a new attempt to cancel it.'' https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/09/sports/tennis/novak-djokovic-australian-open-vaccine.html FINAL FOR NOW-
