The Hill:
"It's one of the things that we have in mind, and we may try to arrange for that. I think it's very important for us to show solidarity and support for Israel right now in their time of great struggle, and we certainly stand for that position and well try to advance that in every way that we can."
A drag queen invited to the White House by Kamala Harris as been accused of multiple sexual assaults from 2012 to 2020.
Deb Heine:
A drag star feted by Kamala Harris at the Biden White House and Vice President's residence has been accused of multiple sexual assaults between 2012 to 2020.
Darius Jeremy "DJ" Pierce, better known as "Shangela," has appeared on numerous television series and is best known for competing on RuPaul's "Drag Race" and Dancing With the Stars.
The accusations are described in sordid detail in a Rolling Stone exposé following a 16 month investigation researching the allegations, reviewing court documents, and interviewing several accusers.
The report features five people who accused Pierce of sexually assaulting them or attempting to have sex with them while they were too inebriated to consent. The alleged offenses took place over a period of six years in Louisiana, Texas, California and the United Kingdom, and sometimes involved a second assailant, according to a Rolling Stone investigation. Three of the five accusers, who ranged in age at the time of their alleged assaults from 18 to 23, said they were aspiring drag queens at the time.
In a letter to Rolling Stone, Pierce's lawyer Andrew Brettler denied all accusations of sexual assault, calling the allegations "false and unsupported by any evidence or reliable witness testimony."
It gets gross from there.
Past the gross sexual assault stuff, we get to the gross political stuff:
Dressed in drag, Pierce donned a purple sequin dress and a pink and lilac coat and posed with Harris again for a photo posted on Instagram.
"What an honor to be invited to the White House by our @potus and @drbiden yesterday to witness the signing of the Respect for Marriage Act," Pierce wrote on Instagram. "The weather was chill but the emotions were warm and fuzzy ... and as a drag queen whose community is specifically targeted right now, this type of inclusion meant A LOT. Thank you @vp Harris, President Biden, @speakerpelosi and those involved for always being such a fierce advocate for the LGBTQ+ community."
Harris's first run-in with Pierce occurred in West Hollywood in 2019 while she was campaigning for president and trying to drum up support from LGBTQ voters.
The best evidence that this pyrsyn is innocent is that the charges are being made by the garbage-tier swillsite Rolling Stone.
Wow: A guy in Newark has not one but two boots on the wheels of his nice-looking truck, and actually drives away with the boots still on his tires. The damage he does to his truck must greatly exceed the fines he owes. (Or who knows -- maybe not.)
A former NBC/Universal "senior" executive declares that Barron Trump just turned 18 so he is "now fair game" for media brutalization. Many people point out that he seems to be basing this "18 years old means your fair game" on his dating life.
Texas just withdrew $8.5 billion in funds from BlackRock due to its leftwing findom practices.
Texas will pull some $8.5 billion in investments from BlackRock over its ESG policies, the biggest such divestment after several Republican states have moved to cut ties with firms that conservatives see as privileging liberal goals.
Texas State Board of Education Chairman Aaron Kinsey announced the move on Tuesday. A letter was sent to BlackRock the same day notifying the world's largest money manager. The divestment was done to comply with the state's anti-environmental, social, and governance law, which prohibits state investment in companies like BlackRock that Republicans say boycott energy companies.
"BlackRock's dominant and persistent leadership in the ESG movement immeasurably damages our state's oil and gas economy and the very companies that generate revenues for our [Permanent School Fund]," Kinsey said. "Texas and the PSF have worked hard to grow this fund to build Texas's schools."
"BlackRock's destructive approach towards the energy companies that this state and our world depend on is incompatible with our fiduciary duty to Texans," he added.
BlackRock, though, argues that it is helping millions of Texans and emphasized its investment in the state.

ESG is a financial concept that centers on compelling social change through investment and divestment. It is a corporate model that doesn't solely look at maximizing profit but also incorporates other elements into financial decisions -- for instance, how an investment might affect fossil fuel emissions.
AOC demanded that Tony Bobulinski tell her exactly which crimes Biden had committed.
He said "corruption laws and RICO."
But she kept insisting he hadn't named any crimes.
AOC: Tell me the specific crimes committed by Joe Biden!
Bobulinski: RICO and corruption statutes
AOC: I said tell me the specific crimes!
Bobulinski: I just did
AOC: [SCREAMS]

If you noticed, Congressman Khanna scurried out of here very quickly, and I'm actually disgusted as I sit here that he didn't address me, based on the fact that I'm sitting here in front of the world, trying to testify to the truth.
In October 2020, I have messages I'm willing to produce to both the Democrats and the Republicans that Ro Khanna sent to me, saying, "You have always demonstrated to me that you are nothing but an honest with the highest integrity individual." And I was begging for him to go on CNN and tell the world in October 2020.
I have extensive emails with Congressman Ro Khanna in 2021 and 2022, where I begged him and his staff to sit down with me and look at my Blackberry phones that the Democrats are so focused on, to hire forensics experts and go through all of the factual information I had.
So the fact that he did not even address me and then scurried out of here is disgusting to me.
