Deported troll purports to lob legal grenade at Laura Loomer: 'Lets playyyyy'

A deported alt-right provocateur claims he's siccing lawyers on the "proud Islamophobe" conspiracy theorist he blames. On Monday, Milo Yiannopoulos posted on X what appears to be a letter from attorneys at Muslim Legal to Laura Loomer regarding her claim she helped get him deported. "Our office has been retained by Mr. Milo Yiannopoulos in connection with civil claims arising from reported statements, communications, and conduct concerning his immigration status," the letter states. "You have been identified as a potential party to reasonably anticipated litigation."Wrote Yiannopoulos in his post, "Let’s playyyyy." As a reminder, Yiannopoulos is a former Breitbart editor, forced to resign over statements regarding pedophilia, who made a career for himself by publicly calling Black people "apes" and embracing the online bullying of women. Yiannopoulos reappeared in headlines late last month when President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained and deported him back to the United Kingdom.Loomer, whose conspiracy theories include the baseless 2024 claim that Haitian immigrants were eating pets and that 9/11 was "an inside job," has claimed credit for the deportation."I was the first person to report on the fact that Milo was in the US illegally," Loomer wrote on X. "I reported him to ICE and the FBI."On Monday, Yiannopoulos claimed he had retained lawyers who are now demanding Loomer not delete or destroy any communications regarding his immigration status. "Given that litigation concerning this matter is reasonably anticipated, this letter constitutes formal notice of your obligation to preserve potentially relevant evidence," the lawyer's letter states. "You are hereby requested to take immediate and reasonable steps to preserve all documents, communications, electronically stored information ("ESI"), and other evidence within your possession."

Trump official trolled as Labor Day pledge crashes and burns: 'That's not three bucks'

A bold Labor Day prediction made two months ago by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was dredged up Monday and trolled by a smirking MS NOW host.Peter Alexander repeatedly shared a clip of the self-assured member of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet claiming Americans would see the return of $3 gas by Labor Day. "Inflation is going to come back down," Bessent assured Americans in July. "It's largely dominated, as you said, by gasoline. In many states, we're back to around $3.50. I think we can get back to $3.”When a CBS News reporter pressed Bessent to put a date to the pledge, he replied without pause, “Maybe by Labor Day.”After the clip ended, Alexander's eyebrows were raised. “It is Labor Day," he said. "Gas prices, as you are well aware, are nowhere close to $3 than they were a month ago. Right now, the national average is $4.15 per gallon — that's not three bucks. It's way higher than prior to the Iran war, when they were sitting below $3 a gallon.”Alexander noted Vice President JD Vance defended Bessent's comment, putting emphasis on the word "maybe."This did not stop Alexander from sharing some definite facts with his viewers. ”This is the most expensive Labor Day on record," he said, "with travelers facing higher costs on everything from airfare and gas prices.” - YouTube youtu.be

Ex-GOP lawmaker sees dark motive behind Trump's 'bizarre' AI-slop drop: 'Intentional'

President Donald Trump's recent dump of "New America" AI-slop spurred a former GOP House member on Monday to make a surprising claim.Ex-Rep Charlie Dent (R-PA) grimaced on air when MS NOW host Peter Alexander revealed the president had once again posted an image on Truth Social that referred to New Mexico as “New America.”“I think most Americans look at this and they say, ‘What is he doing?’" said Dent.Dent urged Trump to stop slapping America's name on states and lakes and start addressing the issues affecting everyday Americans.“The president of the United States needs to be focusing on the hard issues, resolving this war, dealing with affordability," Dent said. "He continues to obsess over the ballroom and the Kennedy Center and the reflecting pool — I mean, all these sorts of things that are completely irrelevant to Americans' lives.”Dent called Trump's name obsession "bizarre" and then dropped a surprising theory.“These are not helping the president or his party — it's hurting his own team," said Dent. "It's almost like there's an intentional act to undermine your own party's prospects in the midterms.”

Mounting 'mystery meat' threats linked by expert to surprising source — Melania Trump

Americans risk exposure to anti-parasite drugs and banned antibiotics in chunks of years-old, potentially rotten meat after a controversial friend of Melania Trump's was invited for a meeting at the White House, according to a new analysis. Eric Schlosser, the author of “Fast Food Nation," penned an opinion piece for the New York Times on Monday in which he strenuously warned Americans to avoid President Donald Trump's 660 million pounds of inexpensive "mystery meat." "They’re small chunks of frozen meat that could have been kept in cold storage overseas for years," wrote Schlosser. "They are the quintessence of generic industrial meat, imported here to be subsequently processed in massive grinders that combine pieces of tens of thousands of cattle from multiple countries, mainly into fast food hamburgers."Schlosser argued that the mysterious source of this meat presents a risk because of the problematic processing practices of meat exporters abroad. Beef from Uruguay was found to be tainted with an anti-parasitic drug and Argentinian beef has repeatedly tested positive for a banned antibiotic that can cause serious blood disorders, Schlosser reported. Those countries have nothing on Brazil, the world's largest beef exporter. "In 2017, the Brazilian federal police raided nearly 200 meatpacking plants after allegations that government inspectors and politicians were being bribed to allow the sale of contaminated beef," Schlosser wrote. "Rotten meat treated with ascorbic acid and other chemicals to mask the contamination had been sold to hospitals and schools in Brazil and also been exported."In August, Trump announced the U.S. United States would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef into the country, without a usual tariff, for the next 90 days — claiming it would lower prices for American consumers. But Schlosser argued that the economics aren't going to pan out for American cattle ranchers or consumers, but meatpacking companies and fast food chains. This is why Schlosser issued a stark warning to his readers. "If you want to eat a hamburger, I suggest going to your local butcher shop, rather than the supermarket, ordering cuts of American beef, and asking for them to be ground on the premises," he wrote. "Otherwise, there’s really no way of knowing what’s in your meat, or how many international borders it crossed to reach your plate."So why did Trump cut this problematic deal?Schlosser has an interesting theory: it came from a White House meeting between Trump and Joesley Batista, the owner of meatpacking giant JBS, who was jailed in Brazil for paying $186 million in bribes to almost 2,000 politicians."Mr. Batista gained the White House meeting last November...because of his friendship with Melania Trump," wrote Schlosser. "Not long afterward, JBS got approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, a privilege the company had sought for almost a decade."
