Hunter Biden’s lawyers are demanding that Fox News stop using the naked and debauched photos that were leaked from his laptop.
“For the last five years, Fox News has relentlessly attacked Hunter Biden and made him a caricature in order to boost ratings and for its financial gain,” Hunter Biden’s attorneys Mark Geragos, Bryan Freedman and Tina Glandian said in a statement, according to CNN.
They threaten litigation if Fox does not cease from publishing the images.
They also accuse Fox of bias because the network has not covered the indictment of FBI whistleblower Alexander Smirnov, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of lying to investigators.
Oh can we sue for the stories the media ignores now? If so, I’ve got a list!
Colombia University ordered students to evacuate the war protests by Monday afternoon but they didn’t so the university has begun suspending students who are still there.
A school spokesperson said that the students will be “placed on suspension, ineligible to complete the semester or graduate, and will be restricted from all academic, residential, and recreational spaces.”
The students say that they will not clear out and that “these repulsive scare tactics mean nothing compared to the deaths of over 34,000 Palestinians.”
In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott said that the students would be arrested.
Universities say that they cannot allow these protests because Jewish students feel threatened and discriminated by them. As Representative Ilhan Omar points out, Arab students feel that way too. What we have here is a problem of our own creation: Students have been taught that their feelings are the most important thing and that they should not have to engage in uncomfortable discourse.
Free speech attorney Alex Morey says that “Part of a liberal education is having that diversity of voices on campus. That's a feature, not a bug!”

AstraZeneca was forced to admit that its Covid vaccine can cause deadly blood clotting. The pharmaceutical company did not disclose this out of goodwill. Oh no. They admitted this because they were being sued.
According to The Daily Mail, the company “acknowledged in a legal document submitted to the High Court in February that its vaccine 'can, in very rare cases, cause TTS'. TTS is short for thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome – a medical condition where a person suffers blood clots along with a low platelet count. Platelets typically help the blood to clot.”
Researchers have known this for two years now but this is the first time the company has admitted it. This could mean that victims will be paid large sums of money but guess who will pay it? Not AstraZeneca! The Daily Mail points out that “Taxpayers will foot the bill of any potential settlement because of an indemnity deal AstraZeneca struck with the Government in the darkest days of Covid to get the jabs produced as quickly as possible while the country was paralysed by lockdowns.”
Teachers in the U.K. have been warned to be on the lookout for “sextortion.” The National Crime Agency says that there has been “a considerable increase in global cases of financially motivated sexual extortion – a type of online blackmail widely known as ‘sextortion’.”
Sextortion is when someone demands money from you because they have nude photos that they can threaten you with.
You would think that young girls are the most vulnerable to sextortion, but surprisingly, the opposite is true. According to the U.K. government, "a large proportion of cases have involved male victims aged between 14-18. Ninety-one percent of victims in UK sextortion cases dealt with by the Internet Watch Foundation in 2023 were male.”
Best practices to avoid this: Teach your children not to take nude photos.
