A 65-year-old man pleaded not guilty to multiple charges Monday after he allegedly drove past a security checkpoint and claimed to have an explosive at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Walker, Michigan, last week. Steven William Nauta was arrested after police say he drove around barricades set up for Trump’s rally and told police that he had a C4 explosive, WOOD TV 8 reported. According to a court document, Nauta “held up a bottle to police and stated that it was ‘C4’ explosive and that it was the ‘real deal.'” After being told to stop by officers, Nauta allegedly “sped off” before stopping and throwing bags of fertilizer on the ground. “When (Nauta) finally stopped, he removed bags of fertilizer from his vehicle and threw them on the ground to make it appear that they were explosives while disobeying officers’ commands,” the court document states. The 65-year-old was eventually detained by police, and the man allegedly told officers that he intended to make them believe that he had explosives. Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker said there was no active bomb in Nauta’s vehicle. Nauta’s virtual court appearance from a jail cell was a bizarre scene as the man took his shirt off at one point and made profane hand gestures, according to WOOD TV 8. Nauta was charged with one felony count each of a false report or threat of terrorism, possession of bombs with unlawful intent, third-degree fleeing a police officer, and resulting, resisting or obstructing a police officer. Kent County, Michigan, District Court Judge Nicholas Christensen set the man’s bond at $1 million, and Nauta replied, “Well, your honor, given my situation, I think I’m better off just staying in here. Very cruel world out there. Probably a lot better off here.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! The judge told Nauta, “It’s not lost on this court here today that your alleged actions were directed to stopping or hindering a fundamental aspect of this country’s democratic process: a political rally.” The Michigan man’s alleged bomb threat came just two weeks after a gunman was arrested by authorities in Florida after he waited near Trump’s South Florida golf course while the former president was golfing. Trump was shot in the right ear by a would-be assassin’s bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. The Republican nominee said on Monday that he has requested more Secret Service agents, but alleged that Democrats are “not giving us the proper number of people within Secret Service that are necessary for Security.” “We need more Secret Service, and we need them NOW,” Trump wrote. “It is ELECTION INTERFERENCE that we have to turn away thousands of people from arenas and venues because it is not being provided to us.”

Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and more blasted former Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry who said during a recent event that the “First Amendment stands as a major block” to stamping out “disinformation” in the United States. Speaking to the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Green Energy, Kerry said “if Democrats” can win the 2024 election the party can “change” the 1st Amendment to fight what he labeled “disinformation.” “But look, if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence,” Kerry said. “So what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern, by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change.” John Kerry is saying he wants to violate the Constitution https://t.co/im1BJNlfNI — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 30, 2024 Reacting to clips of Kerry’s comments, the billionaire owner of X (formerly known as Twitter) Musk, wrote that “John Kerry is saying he wants to violate the Constitution.” He followed it up with a second post agreeing with another person who wrote that, if former President Donald Trump loses the election, “it will be the last one,” adding “And they will destroy the Constitution.” The former Democrat-turned-independent presidential candidate RFK Jr. wrote, “John Kerry is correct. The 1st Amendment DOES stand as a major roadblock to them right now.” Dr. Jordan Peterson added, “I don’t know how @JohnKerry can say such things without bursting into flames.” Another person continued, “John Kerry says the quiet part out loud. ‘The 1st Amendment stands as a major roadblock for us right now.’ The 1A and the entire Bill of Rights was designed as a ‘roadblock’ against a tyrannical government. It’s a feature, not a bug.” While a fifth person wrote, “John Kerry explaining how free speech stands in the way of consensus around the WEF’s preferred narrative, describes how governments will need to stamp out voices that dissent.” Others pointed out that when “a man at the very top of the Democratic Party — a former Democratic presidential candidate — no longer even pretends to believe in the First Amendment. Watch and be afraid.” Related: Elon Musk Reacts To Theater Pulling ‘Am I Racist?’: ‘Far Left Fascists Love Censorship’

When Miami Vice began in 1984, Don Johnson was just 34. He played James “Sunny” Crockett, and women swooned for the good-looking guy in a pastel suit. Now, 40 years later, Don still looks great. At age 74, he credits his wife with helping him stay fit and healthy. Don said his secret is simple: “Marry right!” he told People with a laugh. “A bad marriage will age you.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Don Johnson (@donjohnson) Don Also Stays Active Don, who married Kelley Phleger in 1999, has six children, including actress Dakota Johnson. He joked with People, “You have to exercise, and do it a lot,” he says. “How do you think I got six kids?” He laughed, “That I know of, anyway!” He explained that in the 1980s, many people emulated his style, and he wasn’t always the biggest fan of that. He wanted to be an individual. He also worried that he may end up pigeonholed as Sonny forever. “My goal back then was to not be Sonny Crockett forever,” he says of trying to navigate the popularity of the hit show. “I had seen the peril of the actors who were too identifiable with their character. I felt like I had to separate myself from Sonny so people could eventually see me as other characters.”  Today, he stars in Hulu’s Doctor Odyssey and says his career seems to have gone full circle.  “I’ve always said you go through these stages as an actor: ‘Who’s Don Johnson?’ Then, ‘Get me Don Johnson!’ Then, ‘Get me a Don Johnson type!’ Then, ‘Get me a younger Don Johnson!’ And finally, it’s back to ‘Who’s Don Johnson?'” again.” He admitted to People, “That’s just the way it goes.”  This story’s featured image is by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic.

Sometimes, when we watch our favorite shows, it’s hard to separate what is real from fiction. These beloved characters become such an important part of our lives. We often believe they exist the same way off-screen as they appear on screen. Thankfully, for many actors and actresses, that truly is the case. They are a family in every sense of the word. And while that can bring incredible joy, it also means they share in each other’s grief. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gilmore girls (@gilmoregirls) They May Not Really Be Married, But They Love Each Other Kelly Bishop and Edward Hermann starred together as Emily and Richard Gilmore on Gilmore Girls from 2000 to 2007. They seemed to be the perfect couple and shared an intense love for their daughter Lorelai and granddaughter Rory, played by Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel. During their time on set, Kelly and Edward become close, but he was a private man. Kelly’s new memoir, The Third Gilmore Girl, reveals the star’s heartache at learning Edward was sick with terminal brain cancer in 2014. “I hadn’t even known he was sick until one day a couple of weeks before he died,” she wrote. “I happened to be scanning Page Six of the New York Post… when I noticed a brief article about some trouble between Ed and his business manager. I was just skimming it until I came across the words, ‘Herrmann, 71, who is battling brain cancer…'” Kelly recalled wanting to call Edward’s wife, Star Roman, after learning the news but feeling uncomfortable because they didn’t know each other well. Instead, she contacted Lauren and Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, who were equally shocked. “We struggled to even figure out what to say beyond ‘Oh my God,’ and ‘Please don’t let this be true,'” she wrote. Thankfully for her, Star reached out to Emily and invited her to visit Edward before he passed away. In their final meeting, she whispered to him, “Lauren, Amy, and Alexis sent their love.” She then “kissed him on the forehead, left a lip print, and whispered, ‘Tell them that’s from me.'” This story’s featured image is by Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images.

One of the most common sayings we hear when we’re young is, “Youth is wasted on the young.” But when you’re just 15 or 16 years old, having barely spent a blip of time on this planet, how could you possibly understand these big, life-altering questions? At that age, you haven’t lived long enough to see the full picture. You’re just beginning to grasp who you are and where you’re headed. So, in many ways, of course, you might squander some of your youthful days—it’s not easy to know better when you’re still figuring everything out. But that’s the beauty The post 10 Best Rock Songs About Being Young appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we explain how the Biden-Harris administration was faced with a dilemma—whether they should put time into hurricane relief or Harris-Walz campaign rallies over the weekend, and then we watch in disappointment as Vice President Kamala Harris chose fundraisers over survivors of Hurricane Helene. In what could only be described as a modern iteration of “Catch-22,” the Biden-Harris administration has left itself either a prematurely ended tenure or a dangerous crash landing.

Most importantly, it helps the show grow and drives liberal journalists to tears. The show’s producer, Daniel Elmore, joins us from North Carolina to cover the aftermath of the worst floods some of the Tar Heel State’s towns have ever seen, the heartache and fear of families desperate to find missing loved ones, and the outrage of millions over the millions of dollars sent abroad in foreign aid instead of domestic disaster relief and recovery.  The humiliation of the United States on the global stage intensifies as President Joe Biden is left out of the loop on crucial strikes by Israel against the terrorist organization and Iranian proxy Hezbollah, which now has numerous leadership openings, and there may not be enough terrorists left to apply for the positions. What does that mean for Pax Americana, and what on earth do we do about it? Finally, we look ahead to our five-hour coverage Tuesday night of the vice presidential debate between Republican Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, with special guests, hard-hitting analysis galore, and the steady coverage you can’t get anywhere else.
