Rapper M.I.A. On P Diddy
Singer M.I.A. has made new claims against Jay-Z and Beyoncé, accusing them of pressuring her to undergo plastic surgery and participate in satanic rituals to boost her career.
According to M.I.A., these rituals included drenching herself in blood, covering herself in black goo, or wearing devil horns—all in the name of selling records.
Declaring she’s had enough, M.I.A. warns, “I’m coming for everyone now.”

The anonymous accuser, identified only as “Jane Doe,” said the assault happened after she was driven to an MTV Video Music Awards after-party.

Diddy, Beyonce, Jay-Z...
These people didn't come up with the ritualistic sex assaults and the satanic ceremonies and all.
I hate to say it, these are the pawns on the chess board.
Even the politicians like the Obammas are not at the top.
Who put these schemes and rituals in place???
Who created such a situation where success was not possible until willingly soiling your self such?
Let's talk about those people.
Quote:University System of Georgia to ban DEI, commit to neutrality, teach Constitution
(The Center Square) – The University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents has recommended a number of new and revised policies for its institutions, such as a commitment to institutional neutrality, the prohibiting of DEI tactics, and a mandatory education in America’s founding documents.
The University System of Georgia (USG) is made up of Georgia’s 26 public colleges and universities as well as Georgia Archives and the Georgia Public Library Service.
“USG institutions shall remain neutral on social and political issues unless such an issue is directly related to the institution’s core mission,” the board’s proposed revisions read.
“Ideological tests, affirmations, and oaths, including diversity statements,” will be banned from admissions processes and decisions, employment processes and decisions, and institution orientation and training for both students and employees.
“No applicant for admission shall be asked to or required to affirmatively ascribe to or opine about political beliefs, affiliations, ideals, or principles, as a condition for admission,” the new policy states.
Additionally, USG will hire based on a person’s qualifications and ability.
“The basis and determining factor” for employment will be “that the individual possesses the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with the role, and is believed to have the ability to successfully perform the essential functions, responsibilities, and duties associated with the position for which the individual is being considered.”
Beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year, the school’s civic instruction will require students to study founding American documents among other things.
USG students will learn from the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, the Articles of Confederation, the Federalist Papers, the Gettysburg Address, the Emancipation Proclamation, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail, as well as the Georgia Constitution and Bill of Rights.
When reached for comment, the Board of Regents told The Center Square that “these proposed updates strengthen USG’s academic communities.”
The recommended policies allow a campus environment “where people have the freedom to share their thoughts and learn from one another through objective scholarship and inquiry,” and “reflect an unyielding obligation to protect freedom, provide quality higher education and promote student success,” the board said.
The board told The Center Square that it proposed strengthening “the requirements for civics instruction” with the inclusion of “foundational primary sources” because of higher education’s duty to students.
Colleges and universities “must prepare [students] to be contributing members of society and to understand the ideals of freedom and democracy that make America so exceptional,” the board said.
As for ditching DEI, the board explained that “equal opportunity and decisions based on merit are fundamental values of USG.”
“The proposed revisions among other things would make clear that student admissions and employee hiring should be based on a person’s qualifications, not his or her beliefs,” the board said.
The Board of Regents also said it wants to “ensure [its] institutions remain neutral on social and political issues while modeling what it looks like to promote viewpoint diversity, create campus cultures where students and faculty engage in civil discourse, and the open exchange of ideas is the norm.”
USG’s Board of Regents recently urged the NCAA to ban transgender-identifying men from participating in women’s sports, in line with the NAIA rules, The Center Square previously reported.

Jay-Z’s legal efforts to dismiss a case accusing him of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 have been denied by a judge in New York, with the judge in the case condemning a lawyer for the hip-hop mogul for aggressive tactics.
Jay-Z, whose given name is Shawn Carter, has denied the allegations, but the judge in the case used strong language in attacking his legal team’s actions.
“Carter’s lawyer’s relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client,” Judge Analisa Torres wrote in the court order.
Carter’s legal team have been pushing for a dismissal of the rape claim. Torres said the court “will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it”.

Thanks, Beejee. Watched all 1:13:02, feel kinda weird about saying that on a Friday night.
Judge me tender,
🎶 judge me true,
Aaaaull my dreams, come true. 🎶
🎶 Am not a felon, that I recall,
but life, it does accrue.
Good guys indeed, and far beyond the Combs thing too. The host spoke of mentoring younger fellow inmates in the 80’s and 90’s. Then after release he spoke to groups of juevie inmates and helped get them support to keep that fire of heart lit.
The guest is as good. Seems like, and seems like a rare combination, a guy both very vigilant and capable, and not a bad bone in his body. Was a pleasure to see and hear him talk.
Hollyweird is indeed experiencing a great awakening ...
How liberals lost comedy − and helped Trump win
Published 17th December 2024 by Nick Marx and Matt Sienkiewicz – The Conversation
https://theconversation.com/how-libe...ump-win-244380
Throughout the 2024 election cycle, reproductive rights were an electoral vulnerability for Donald Trump. Though popular with the Republican base, his appointment of antiabortion judges gave serious pause to many key voting blocs, including undecided young men.
In pursuit of these voters, Trump’s strategy wasn’t demagoguery but comedy.
Trump’s October appearance on comedian Andrew Schulz’s podcast, “Flagrant,” demonstrated his approach to the touchy issue.
Schulz playfully invoked Trump’s youngest son, who’s a student at New York University – “Barron is 18. He’s unleashed in New York City. Are you sure you want to reverse Roe vs. Wade now?” After a beat, Trump laughed, Schulz laughed, and then, presumably, thousands of young male listeners joined in.
Trump continued with boilerplate answers about states rights, but this substance – as is so often the case – was divorced from the strategy. Schulz had helped Trump turn an unpopular position into a frat boy punchline, something to be discarded along with last night’s empties. Trump won that media cycle and, ultimately, a majority of the votes of young men on his way to a second White House win.
Vice President Kamala Harris, by contrast, appeared on mainstream comedy shows with aging, liberal audiences like “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Pundits criticized her failure to engage young voters in online comedy platforms. They also urged liberals to develop a new crop of political comedians to match the influence of Schulz and podcaster Joe Rogan.
However, these criticisms of Harris’ strategy miss the failure of liberal comedians to evolve with media and political trends.
While Jimmy Kimmel cries and Jon Stewart rants, the right wing in the U.S. has successfully depicted itself as the new home for free speech and cutting edge comedy. We explored this development in our book, “That’s Not Funny: How the Right Makes Comedy Work for Them.”
The right has become a home for comedians not by making political arguments through jokes, but by positing that there are funnier things to do than to argue.
A formula goes stale
Liberal comedy and political satire have stuck to the same formula of Stewart’s “The Daily Show” for much of the 21st century.
It goes something like this: A sarcastic, eloquent host uses meticulously researched data to describe a pressing social issue, and then delivers a punchline directed at right-wing hypocrisy. The resultant pairing of righteous laughter and anger has been repeated by “The Colbert Report,” “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” and “Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj,” among other comedy programs.
These satirical shows filled the void left by an increasingly profit-driven news media. However, they have come to prioritize political preaching at the expense of laughs.
Perhaps Stewart’s most successful successor – and the best example of liberal satire’s patronizing tone – is HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” Because the show appears on prestige cable, Oliver has a bigger budget to tackle controversial topics in depth.
Indeed, journalists and academics alike have celebrated the “John Oliver effect,” in which viewers mobilize behind a cause shortly after the host devotes an episode to it, whether it’s vaccines or internet regulation.
Oliver’s long-form lectures can be compelling. However, his appeal is not to young undecided voters who can’t afford HBO, but to college-educated liberals predisposed to support progressive reforms.
Twice in a recent election postmortem episode, he reminded viewers of topics his show has covered in depth, like a professor chiding students for not remembering recent lessons. In one segment about Trump’s disingenuous economic message, Oliver pleaded that his show had already “explained inflation for 24 human minutes.”
While Oliver’s exasperation can be amusing, he’s clearly more upset at – even disdainful of – the American electorate, chastising them for failing the final exam of election night.
For liberals to reconnect with young voters – especially young men – we think they have to reinvent political comedy. Doing so will mean moving beyond the haranguing that has long been its primary delivery style. This will be a challenge, however, as the right fortifies the relationship between its own comedians and political power.
http://images.theconversation.com/fi...fit=crop&dpr=1
Rise of the right-wing comedy complex
Trump’s success with comedy is a result of the new relationship between digital media and the business of joking. For decades, liberals were thought to hold a monopoly on comedy. Moreover, there was little money to be made in comedy acts devoted to right-wing politics.
Since 2016, however, a new crop of right-wing comedians has taken to digital platforms and algorithmically driven audience targeting in order to change this reality.
Libertarian podcasters like Rogan have long danced around the political spectrum, finding diverse positions that intrigue his primary target of young male listeners. He routinely platforms right-leaning cultural and comedic voices, features them as guests, and promotes their shows and products. In doing so, he has helped create a de facto right-wing comedy network.
Although each comedian or show in this network doesn’t have the audience and impact of, say, “The Daily Show” in its prime, their aggregate strength is precisely targeted at coveted young consumers and potential voters.
It is no coincidence that the most heralded stops on Trump’s October podcast tour were shows hosted by three regulars on “The Joe Rogan Experience”: Schulz, comedian Theo Von and libertarian scientist Lex Fridman. Trump also appeared on Rogan’s show for a three-hour episode.
Changing styles and platforms
Importantly, the type of political comedy featured on these programs is distinct from that of liberal satire of the past two decades.
“The Daily Show,” “Last Week” and their ilk dazzle viewers in 30-minute episodes using intricate arguments and sardonic punchlines.
Rogan and his affiliates hang out for hours, and audiences can listen as they go about their daily routines. In the process, podcast hosts shape their audience’s taste in culture, technology and recreation in what’s known as parasocial bonding.
Trump’s appearance on Von’s podcast “This Past Weekend,” for example, featured little in the way of biting jokes and rollicking laughter. Instead, Von and Trump held a meandering conversation full of funny, personal anecdotes about drug use interspersed with gestures to political topics.
Comedy styles are cyclical. In the 1950s, stand-up comedian Mort Sahl would read a newspaper on stage, peppering in sarcastic observations about the day’s headlines. The Smothers Brothers played with yo-yos before they introduced protest songs. The apolitical observational humor of Jerry Seinfeld reigned supreme in the 1980s and ’90s.
The 2000s liberal satire of Stewart and Oliver was driven by cable television industry mandates to court young men. The tastes and media habits of this audience have moved on, but liberal comedy has failed to follow them.

Iconic US filmmaker David Lynch, famous for Twin Peaks, dead at 78
Lynch won acclaim for his strange and dreamlike sequences and was honoured with a lifetime achievement Oscar in 2019.
..
“We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole,’” the post states. “It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.”
Born in Montana in the western United States, the acclaimed filmmaker, writer and artist — who earned three Oscar nominations for best director and one nod for best adapted screenplay — won fame with his unique and captivating visions on screen.
Inspired by a run-down section of Pennsylvania during his time as an art student in the 1960s at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Lynch produced the bizarre, dreamlike film Eraserhead in 1977.
It was his first major feature, and it gained a cult following, with fans including the famed director Stanley Kubrick.
..
His films would come to feature some of the biggest names in Hollywood: Naomi Watts, Dennis Hopper, Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage. In 1990, he branched out into television with the cult classic Twin Peaks, which continued his exploration of the uncanny and neo-noir themes.
Lynch would later earn the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in France for his 1990 romantic comedy Wild at Heart.
Lynch, who was days away from turning 79, was given an honorary Academy Award in 2019 for his lifetime achievements. In 2006, he also received a Golden Lion award for his contributions to cinema at the Venice Film Festival.
Upon his death, tributes poured out across social media. Fellow director Ron Howard, for instance, remembered Lynch as “a gracious man and fearless artist who followed his heart & soul and proved that radical experimentation could yield unforgettable cinema”.
Even journalists chimed in on their experiences interviewing the late director.
“When I interviewed David Lynch, he asked for my address,” Nick Newman, managing editor of the film publication The Film Stage, wrote in a social media post. “A few weeks later this showed up.”
Newman then shared a photo of a coffee mug Lynch had signed.
“He didn’t need to do this. Nobody, among the scores of people I’ve interviewed, has even approached such generosity.”

She had a shock when he first spoke and it rocked her image of who she was about to talk to. She was expecting a defeated man in a cell. That's not what she got.
Long story short, she's going to dig into some aspects of the trials he went through that the MSM blocked out of their reporting.
Here is her first intro, expect more to come. There is no real audio of the phone call (yet) so it's her report of how it went and what started to surface in the conversation.
