Homan was asked to speak at AFPAC, actually showed up, but then bailed at the last minute. What was the nail in the coffin? He Googled Nick Fuente’s name bit.ly/3vWNO9Q
“I asked, you know, ‘Does it give you pause, or does it inspire any self-reflection, that someone like Nick Fuentes would want you at their conference?” says @letsgomathias and Homan’s answer surprised him bit.ly/3vWNO9Q

Ukraine’s capital was meant to fall in a matter of hours, if not days, and Zelensky was meant to be assassinated. And here we are on day 11, and he’s still alive—and a global hero. How? bit.ly/3HVCq0l
“I think the Ukrainians were right about themselves in a way that we were not, meaning that the Western nation has underrated them and underestimated them quite badly,"@michaeldweiss explains on today's @NewAbnormalPod episode bit.ly/3HVCq0l
He also tackles the rise of Zelensky, who “went from being the Jackie Mason of Ukraine into Winston Churchill within the space of that 72 hours,” @michaeldweiss tells @MollyJongFast bit.ly/3HVCq0l

Daily Beast reporters @efmikkelsen and @StefanWeichert made a miraculous escape after they were targeted by automatic gunfire while covering the war in Ukraine.

This is their heart-stopping firsthand account.

It had been quiet near the front lines in the city of Okhtyrka when an artillery shell shook the ground nearby. They tried to make a getaway before a car pulled up behind them. A man carrying what looked like an assault rifle opened fire without warning.

The letters “TV” were taped on the back of the car so there was no question that members of the media were inside but that didn’t stop the shooter.

Stefan said bullets flew so close past his head that he could feel the wind pressure on his ears.

OnlyFans is removing accounts of content creators in both Russia and Belarus, according to some of the site’s stars. “Right now I don’t have any funds to buy food or pay my rent,” one OnlyFans star said. trib.al/xYeyUjf
It is unclear if the apparent changes are a political move or if new sanctions imposed on Russia in the aftermath of the invasion of Ukraine have made it impossible for the women to be paid via the site. thedailybeast.com/russias-blamel…
A cosplay content creator who goes by the handle kanra_cosplay, posted a shot of a message appearing to show that OnlyFans cancelled her account.

The Canadian truckers have seized a conspiracy theory that was debunked ages ago.

“They think that Fidel Castro is actually the biological father of Justin Trudeau,” @HeerJeet tells @MollyJongFast.

But wait—there’s more. Heer explains some of the trucker’s demands, including a plan to dissolve the government and then arrest Trudeau.

@MollyJongFast, naturally, is flabbergasted. “I thought this was pretty stupid, but I had no idea.” bit.ly/3BBmW09
Then! Molly and co-host @andylevy run down the “terrifying” political candidates whom billionaire Peter Thiel is backing, including “another super libertarian, very attractive, zero body fat white guy in Arizona.” bit.ly/3BBmW09

EXCLUSIVE: It is critical evidence in Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s case against Prince Andrew. But the whereabouts of the original photo showing him, her, and Ghislaine Maxwell is a mystery.

Read @royalist's full story trib.al/S7ClqJ5
The picture, which famously shows Giuffre as a smiling 17-year-old, with Prince Andrew’s arm slung around her bare midriff, went missing from her care at some point between 2011 and 2016. thedailybeast.com/epstein-victim…
The picture has been examined as potential evidence against Jeffrey Epstein by the FBI.

And now, according to reports, Prince Andrew’s legal team have asked for access to the original picture, so its authenticity can be evaluated by experts. thedailybeast.com/epstein-victim…
