Romanian authorities launched a raid on the home of controversial influencer Andrew Tate, who is awaiting trial over human trafficking and rape charges, as part of a new investigation, officials said.

One of the world’s best-known influencers known for misogynist and sometimes violent maxims, Andrew Tate has been accused of having formed an organised criminal network in early 2021 in Romania and Britain, along with his brother Tristan.

They have denied the charges, and a trial date has not yet been set.

Prosecutors allege that 37-year-old Tate, his 36-year-old brother and two women set up a criminal organisation and sexually exploited several victims.

Early this morning, officers ‘conducted a raid on August 21, 2024, at the residence of the Tate brothers as part of a search related to a new investigation,’ prosecutors said in a statement.

The office for organised crime (DIICOT), said that four search warrants were executed, in connection with ‘the crimes of forming an organised criminal group, trafficking in minors’, ‘sexual relations with a minor’ and ‘money laundering’.

The statement read: ‘Today, the prosecutors of the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism – Central Structure together with police officers from the Ilfov Organized Crime Service have implemented 4 home search warrants within the Ilfov county and the Bucharest municipality, in – a criminal case regarding the commission of the crimes of forming an organized criminal group, trafficking in minors, trafficking in persons, sexual intercourse with a minor, influencing statements and money laundering.

ByteDance Ltd.’s TikTok was sued by a content moderator in the UK alleging disability discrimination and a toxic work environment that caused her stress and pregnancy complications.

Olivia Anton Altamirano worked on TikTok’s Badness Project meant to weed out harmful content from the platform. She was given targets that were “impossible to meet” and was discriminated because she suffered from multiple sclerosis, Altamirano alleged in court filings. TikTok denied all allegations.

TikTok failed to strike out all the claims in the case and a judge allowed the case to proceed to the next stage. “This is not to say this claim has good prospects of success but I cannot say this has no reasonable prospects of success,” judge Mark Emery said after a hearing on Wednesday.

Altamirano continues work at TikTok and was not given unrealistic targets, according to the company’s lawyers. Her team manager ensured appropriate support that she needed because of her medical conditions, they said in the documents prepared for the hearing. Lawyers and spokespeople for TikTok and Altamirano didn’t immediately respond to requests for comments.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once decapitated a dead whale with a chain saw on a beach, according to his daughter Kick Kennedy.

In a resurfaced interview with Town & Country in 2012, Kick Kennedy described the event as "normal."

The story resurfaced over the weekend after Robert F. Kennedy Jr dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed former President Donald Trump.

Kick Kennedy described how her father found a whale that had washed up dead on Squaw Island, a Massachusetts beach.

According to her, RFK Jr ran down the beach with a chain saw, cut off the whale's head and bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan, because he likes studying animal skulls and skeletons.

The family then drove five hours back to Mount Kisco, New York, with the whale on the roof.

"Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet," said Kick Kennedy.

"We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us."

The Kennedy campaign was contacted by email for comment.

This is not the first time Kennedy's encounters with dead animals have caused a stir.

Earlier this month, Kennedy admitted to dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park in Manhattan 10 years earlier, saying that he and his friends who assisted thought the act was "amusing."

The story originally made headlines in 2014 when a woman found the dead cub while walking her dog.

Kennedy announced that he is suspending his campaign for the White House on Friday.

Later that night, Kennedy Jr. joined Trump on stage at a campaign rally in Glendale, Arizona.

When introducing him, Trump called Kennedy Jr. "a man who has been an incredible champion for so many of these values that we all share.

Trump also called the endorsement by Kennedy "very nice."

Georgia’s governor has asked his attorney general if he can remove state election board members after three right-wing members approved a series of alarming new rules.

Republican Governor Brian Kemp asked Attorney General Christopher Carr for “guidance” on whether he can remove members of the state election board, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

This comes after three right-wing members of the five-person board championed and passed a series of new rules that add extra requirements for county election boards to certify their results.

Under the rules passed this month — less than 100 days before election day on November 5 — county boards must make a “reasonable inquiry” before certifying the election. However, the rules do not define what an inquiry should involve or what “reasonable” means, according to the Journal-Constitution.

County election boards are also required to hold a meeting to verify their vote count on the Friday after election day, which is before the ballot return deadline for voters overseas and in the military.

The three right-wing members - Janelle King, Rick Jeffares and Janice Johnston - were recently praised by Donald Trump for championing new rules. The former president called them “pit bulls fighting for honesty, transparency and victory.”

Trump has beem charged in Fulton County, Georgia, alongside his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and others with election interference charges. Trump has claimed that he lost Georgia to President Joe Biden due to widespread election fraud - which there is no evidence of.

Representative Lucy McBath, a Democrat, called the board’s new rules a “concerted effort to subvert democracy and move us backward.”

“With passing this new rule, they are creating barriers to counting votes and certifying the elections so Donald Trump can once again attempt to throw our country into chaos,” she said.

Even after the Republican Supreme Court rigged the deck for Trump and disregarding the Constitution by declaring the President is above the law, the Superseding indictment returned against Trump proves he committed enough crimes where he's still not fully immune to prosecution

https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-brings-new-indictment-against-trump-election-subversion-case-2024-08-27/

WASHINGTON, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Donald Trump was hit by a new federal indictment on Tuesday in his bid to overturn his 2020 election defeat, with prosecutors narrowing their approach after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that former presidents have broad immunity form criminal prosecution.

U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith's team obtained a new indictment in the Washington case.

The revised indictment lays out the same four charges it brought against the Republican former president last year focusing on Trump's role as a political candidate seeking reelection, rather than as the president at the time.

The Supreme Court ruled on July 1 that Trump cannot be prosecuted for actions that were within his constitutional powers as president.
Attorneys for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The revised indictment no longer includes allegations that Trump sought to pressure the U.S. Justice Department in his bid to overturn his election defeat, an apparent effort to keep the prosecution alive after the high court found that Trump could not be prosecuted for that conduct.

This indictment, like the initial one, accuses Trump of a multi-part conspiracy to block the certification of his election defeat to Democratic President Joe Biden.

Trump is again seeking election as the Republican candidate, this time in a race against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. The election takes place on Nov. 5 this year.

The case was presented to a new grand jury, one that had not heard evidence from the original case, said a Justice Department spokesman.

Zuckerberg admits in testimony that Democrats hate the first amendment and stated that senior white house officials working under Biden pressured his business to purge content from his platforms based on discussions people were having regarding COVID.

It has once again been proven that democrats, their ideologies, and their leaders are completely at odds with the core principles of American democracy

Zuckerberg said senior Biden administration officials “repeatedly pressured” Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, to “censor” content in 2021.

“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken,” he wrote to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

“Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction — and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again,” Zuckerberg added.

The Meta CEO also said the company “shouldn’t have demoted” a New York Post story about corruption allegations involving President Biden’s family ahead of the 2020 election while waiting for fact-checkers to review it.

If he wasn't armed he would have been raped, killed, his store looted and burned down. That is what dems want. Dems do not want people using guns to defend against diverse criminals. If you are white or asian, dems want you dead.

Texas GOP doubles down on fraud claims as Trump, Cruz leads shrink
by Saul Elbein - 08/27/24 2:07 PM ET

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4850214-texas-gop-trump-cruz-shrink-lead/

AUSTIN – Texas Republicans are doubling down on claims that Democrats in the state’s biggest cities are attempting to steal the 2024 election – a contest in which the GOP’s leads in the Senate and presidential races are increasingly narrowing.

State GOP leaders like Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton have made the state’s large urban counties a focus of allegations of a grand Democratic conspiracy to steal the 2024 election.

On Tuesday, Abbott announced that his office had removed more than 1 million “ineligible” voters from state rolls, including “more than 6,500 noncitizens,” of which the governor’s office claimed that “almost 2,000 have cast votes.”

Abbott added that those cases would be referred to prosecution to Paxton’s office — which has been on its own campaign against alleged voter fraud as of late.

Paxton falsely told right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck last Thursday that President Biden and Vice President Harris, now at the top of the ticket, had worked to move masses of undocumented voters into critical states to vote illegally — claims he did not back up with any basis.

“This was the plan, tell the cartels, ‘Get people here as fast as possible, as many as possible, we’re not going to make them hide anymore — we’ll get them placed in the right states,’” Paxton said. “They want to fix the election so that we have a one party country that we can’t fix.”

“No one anticipated the federal govt would work around laws to try to get illegals to vote. But here we are,” Paxton added, in a grab from the interview he posted on the social platform X.

“That’s why we have to send a message out from the states: ‘Hey illegals, this is not a free ride. If we catch you, we’re going to prosecute you.’”
