A California judge has delayed the resentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez in a Monday ruling, as the two killer brothers appeared in public for the first time in almost 30 years. 

Trump Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth has broken his silence on the sexual assault accusation made against him back in 2017, which has resurfaced since President-elect Trump tapped Hegseth for the DOD position. A police report concerning the allegation against Hegseth, a decorated combat veteran and former Fox News host, was released last week in response to a public records request. An unnamed woman claims Hegseth sexually assaulted her in a hotel room following a conservative conference. Hegseth said that the encounter was consensual and police decided against any further action. “It’s very simple,” Hegseth told reporters on Thursday. “The matter was fully investigated, and I was completely cleared, and that’s where I’m gonna leave it.” Tim Parlatore, an attorney for Hegseth, told the New York Post on Monday that they are demanding a file from the Monterey County district attorney’s office that they believe will show further exonerating details about the interaction. The memo the legal team is seeking outlines why the district attorney’s office decided not to prosecute, Parlatore said. It allegedly details an earlier allegation of sexual misconduct made by Hegseth’s accuser. “As part of our investigation, we received credible information indicating that she may have made a similar false allegation against another man in the past and the DA may have relied upon this as part of their determination, in addition to other witnesses who contradicted her story,” Parlatore said. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE As highlighted by The Daily Wire, the police report on the incident reveals that a man, presumed to be the accuser’s husband, told authorities that the woman told him she fell asleep in a friend’s hotel room when first explaining why she was out until 4 a.m. According to the report, Hegseth told authorities the woman told him this was the lie she would tell her husband, after panicking to Hegseth about cheating on her spouse. There is also security footage from the hotel and witness accounts that reveal the accuser was not intoxicated and was seen leaving the hotel bar with Hegseth in locked arms and “smiling.” The police report also details how the accuser contracted BV, or bacterial vaginosis, after having relations with Hegseth. This caused contention between the accuser and her husband. At one point, the woman asks her husband “to use a condom” when they had sex, for example.

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk apparently struck a raw nerve, triggering MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Axios’ Jim VandeHei, when he issued a blanket announcement to everyone on his social media platform, X: “You are the media now.” VandeHei and Axios co-founder Mike Allen were honored at the National Press Club’s 2024 Fourth Estate Award Gala, and VandeHei lashed out at Musk directly during his remarks to Gala attendees. “Everything we do is under fire. Elon Musk sits on Twitter every day — or X today — saying like, ‘We are the media,’ ‘You are the media.’ My message to Elon Musk is: Bull****. You are not the media,” VandeHei complained. “You having a blue checkmark, a Twitter handle and 300 words of cleverness doesn’t make you a reporter. … You don’t do that by popping off on Twitter. You don’t do that by having an opinion. You do it by doing the hard work.” WATCH: NEW Axios CEO melts down over @elonmusk telling ? users “You are the media now” — mounts passionate defense of dying legacy media: "My message to Elon Musk is b*llshit.

Fresh off losing the 2024 White House race to President-elect Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris is already getting the word out that she is open to running for office again, according to a new report. POLITICO reported on Monday that Harris has privately told advisers and others about her interest in a potential 2026 campaign for governor in her home state of California or even another presidential run in 2028. “I am staying in the fight,” Harris has declared in phone calls, per the report. Harris, a former California attorney general and U.S. senator, replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s nominee in the 2024 race for the White House after he dropped out earlier this year following a fumbling debate performance against Trump. Trump ended up defeating Harris, coming out on top in all the battleground states and making gains among working-class voters, minority groups, and young people. Last week, after losing the election, Harris traveled with her husband, Doug Emhoff, to Hawaii for a vacation. Citing insider sources, POLITICO noted that Harris will head back to Washington, D.C., and is expected to explore “possible paths forward” with family members over the spend the winter holiday season. “She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” one former Harris campaign aide told the outlet. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.” If Harris were to campaign for governor of California in 2026, she would be competing to replace Gavin Newsom, a fellow Democrat who is term-limited and is seen as yet another potential candidate for president in the 2028 contest. A number of Democrats have already begun campaigns for California governor, including Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, while transgender-identifying celebrity Caitlyn Jenner indicated another GOP bid is possible following a 2021 recall campaign. “If I ran [for governor], and it was ultimately against Harris, I would destroy her,” Jenner said in a post to X on Monday.

Washington Commanders managing partner Josh Harris and the NFL Commanders ownership group have agreed to un-cancel the Redskins (the iconic Blackfoot chief logo) history. In a post on Facebook by Republican Montana Sen. Steve Daines, the Congressman wrote that “The censorship of the former Commanders logo was a classic case of woke gone wrong. I applaud the Commanders & the NFL for their commitment to never censor the logo again.” “And for working with the [Walter ‘Blackie’] Wetzel family to restore the logo to a place of prominence and honor to benefit Indian Country,” he added mentioning the “Native American artist who used Blackfoot chief John Two Guns White Calf as the inspiration for the logo the NFL team used for almost 50 years.” In 2020, the team announced it was removing Redskins from its name and two years later announced the national professional football team would be called the Washington Commanders. The name change came about from pressure from the cancel culture mob following the death of George Floyd and those who claimed that the term was racist and offensive to Native Americans. ?BREAKING: IT APPEARS DISCUSSIONS ARE UNDERWAY ABOUT THE #COMMANDERS POTENTIALLY USING THE REDSKINS’ OLD LOGO. ? Senator Steve Daines says that the proceeds would go to help benefit the tribe. Washington fans have been pushing for this to happen…pic.twitter.com/bHTbGVLZWV — MLFootball (@_MLFootball) November 22, 2024 Speaking to Fox News, Daines called out the “irony” that the woke mob was “canceling Native American culture, as in the DEI [Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion] movement went way too far.” Earlier this year, a local D.C. news station came under fire when it was revealed that it was blurring or removing the logo in archival footage and photographs of the team, Tampa Free Press noted. And in February, the NFL censored the logo on its X account when honoring previous Super Bowl winners, Daines noted during his remarks on the Senate floor. He also pointed out that the team had been selling a shirt that also blocked the logo.  Daines has said he would approve legislation for the building of a new stadium for the Commanders, as long as the team agreed to never censor the logo again or degrade it. That includes the team using the logo again in some shape or form, ie. in historical images, videos, merchandise, even using the logo if the team should want to use it throwback game jersey, etc., the Bozeman Daily Chronicle noted. Un-erasing the logo would also mean that if Wetzel wanted to use the logo in a throwback uniform, or something created to be posted in the stadium, etc. he could, Fox News noted. Wetzel’s grandson Ryan Wetzel said that he feels good that a plan will come about to honor his grandfather’s legacy, the Daily Montanan reported. “It’s exciting to even have that conversation after they said it (the logo) would be gone forever,” Wetzel said. Following what the Senator called good faith talks with the league, he was “proud to say, after speaking with my constituents, that they are satisfied with the ongoing negotiations with the team and feel optimistic about the direction that they are heading. Therefore, I will support the bill and vote in favor of its passage out of committee with the condition that the team follows through on the commitments made to the family.” Related: Native American Group Threatens National Boycott If Washington Football Team Doesn’t Change Name Back To ‘Redskins’

A leftist activist who pushed for defunding the police has been accused of spending charitable donations to pay for “lavish vacations” and designer clothing, according to a lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C.  D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb sued Brandon Anderson and his police “accountability” organization Raheem AI on Monday, alleging violations of the district’s laws governing non-profits. Schwalb said that Anderson used donations given to the charity to go on expensive vacations to Mexico and to buy high-end clothing.  “Brandon Anderson misused charitable donations to fund lavish vacations and shopping sprees, and the Raheem AI Board of Directors let him get away with it,” Schwalb said. “My office will not allow people to masquerade behind noble causes while violating the law, cheating taxpayers, or stealing from their workers.” According to the lawsuit, Anderson used $75,000 of the non-profit’s funds for personal use, including $40,000 on a luxury vacation rental service, $10,000 on hotels and Airbnbs, $10,000 on designer clothing, and $5,000 on emergency veterinary services. The travel costs reportedly included a stay at a Cancun resort and he buying clothes from luxury retailers like Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen, Bloomingdales, Farfetch, and Saks. Schwalb said that Anderson had “unrestricted control” of the organization’s money because there had been no treasurer since 2020 and its board had implemented no oversight precautions.  The lawsuit seeks to dissolve the organization and make Anderson repay funds used for vacations and clothing. It also accuses Anderson of not paying the deputy director of the organization for her work.  “Not only did their financial abuses violate fundamental principles of nonprofit governance, but Anderson and Raheem AI failed to pay their employee the wages they had earned,” Schwalb said.  CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Anderson, who launched his organization in 2017, has promoted “building a world without police” and has lectured on why “defunding the police is an important next step for the country.” The activist wanted to replace 911 calls, telling Vice in 2022 that he wanted to build “a consortium of care that meets the needs of communities during their crises and in conflict.”  His claims about starting the non-profit to honor a fiancé killed by the police have been scrutinized by media outlets like the New York Times, which reported that “no homicide in the entire state of Oklahoma” matched the incident described by Anderson. The nation’s capitol has long been plagued by violent crime even as city leaders have sought to decrease penalties for crimes like carjacking. Efforts to loosen up the city’s criminal code failed last year after the Republican-controlled House blocked the proposal.

The disgusting, corrupt, and anti-Semitic International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. In order to suggest a moral equivalence, they issued an arrest warrant for Mohammed Deif — who is dead. He was the military chief of Hamas killed in an airstrike months ago.  The ICC arrest warrant is ridiculous and disgusting. The claim is that Israel was deliberately attempting to starve the Palestinians. Let me explain how insane that is. Israel has shipped in — I kid you not — 900,000 kilotons of food aid into the Gaza Strip. Kilotons, not pounds. Kilotons. We’re talking about roughly two billion pounds of food aid shipped into the Gaza Strip in the middle of a war in which Hamas, with the help of some civilians, is currently holding Israelis and Americans hostage.  Now, the ICC has decided it is going to move forward with this arrest warrant. It’s possible this is an attempt by the prosecutor of this case to avoid the fact that he’s now been hit with a sexual harassment allegation, apparently by members of both sexes. Thus, he may be attempting to misdirect away from that by issuing an arrest warrant. The ICC arrest warrant doesn’t apply in many places that don’t abide by the ICC. For instance, the United States is not a signatory to the International Criminal Court. Why? Because we are aware that it is, in fact, a repository of evil: dictatorial states and their European dupes. As Americans, what we are concerned about is that they would then attempt to arrest, for example, members of the American military who served in Afghanistan or who served in Iraq. A note: This is something the Trump administration should, indeed, be worried about. If the ICC issues an arrest warrant for any signatory country to the ICC, that signatory country then has a legal duty — under the ICC — to make the arrest. If you think that won’t be attempted against Donald Trump, you’re out of your mind. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show This is why the United States is not a signatory to the ICC. This used to be a bipartisan understanding, as the U.S. knew the ICC is a trash organization that manipulates the very idea of international law — which doesn’t exist in the first place — in order to militarize and weaponize against the opponents of some of the world’s worst regimes.  The proof is in the pudding. They’re not just doing this against Netanyahu. They’re also doing this against Yoav Gallant, his former defense secretary, who was basically fired by Netanyahu and became a sort of opposition figure for a while. Both Argentina and Hungary have said they’re not going to abide by the ICC warrants. The ICC is now signaling it may revoke the arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Galant if there is, what they call, a “credible investigation” into charges of genocide and famine in the Gaza Strip by people inside Israel, which figures. It figures because inside Israel, there are people who are actually allied with organizations like the ICC. The deep state is present in an enormous number of jurisdictions across the globe, whether it be the deep state in Brazil currently targeting Jair Bolsonaro or the deep state in Israel targeting Netanyahu. There are career appointees in a wide variety of administrative agencies across the world who are directly opposed to the elected governments of these particular places and will use their power in order to stifle the agenda of those particular elected governments. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The incoming Trump administration has already said they’re going to take severe measures against the ICC. The fact that Hamas is celebrating the ICC decision says all anyone needs to know about the International Criminal Court. The ICC is clearly so moral. They are so decent.  In the International Court of Justice, another U.N. agency, South Africa — a place of tremendous human rights violations — brought a case against Israel for genocide. They did so almost certainly because Iran was paying them. All these international institutions have been completely weaponized. It will happen to President Trump. I would bet that at some point, the ICC, at the behest of some corrupt state, will bring some sort of prosecution against Donald Trump and will then try to get the Europeans on the hook to arrest Trump if he were to arrive. Frankly, that would be the best thing that ever happened because no European country is going to arrest the sitting president of the United States. All of this shows why this institution should be dismantled wholesale. It’s vile and it’s disgusting.

A trans-identifying male volleyball player will be allowed to continue to play on the San Jose State women’s team, a judge ruled on Monday, just days before the conference tournament begins. Federal Judge S. Kato Crews, a Biden appointee, ruled that Blaire Fleming, a man who identifies as a woman, could continue playing after multiple players for other college teams filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent Fleming from competing against women, The New York Times reported. “San José State University will continue to support its student-athletes and reject discrimination in all forms. All San José State University student-athletes are eligible to participate in their sports under NCAA and Mountain West Conference rules,” the school said in a statement to Outkick. “We are gratified that the Court rejected an eleventh-hour attempt to change those rules.

A win for Fleming and San Jose State on Friday would put the team in the conference championship game on Saturday. A total of four teams in the Mountain West and a team in another conference forfeited against San Jose State during the regular season, opting to take losses instead of forcing female players to compete against a man. After Utah State and Southern Utah forfeited against San Jose State last month, Utah Republican Gov. Spencer Cox wrote, “I stand with the students, coaches and leadership at @SUUtbirds and @USUAggies in their decision to forgo their women’s volleyball matches against San Jose State.” “It is essential that we preserve a space for women to compete fairly and safely,” Cox added. “Our female athletes are left grappling with this difficult issue because the NCAA has failed in its responsibility to protect female athletes and women’s sports. It’s time for the NCAA to take this seriously and protect our female student athletes.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which includes San Jose State co-captain Brooke Slusser, argue that their Title IX rights are being violated as Fleming is allowed to compete with and against them. The lawsuit also alleges that Fleming was given a scholarship over female athletes. San Jose State assistant coach Melissa Batie-Smoose was suspended after filing her own Title IX complaint against the university alleging it was showing favoritism to Fleming, Fox News reported.

Americans are strongly supportive of President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to enact a mass deportation program upon taking office, a recent poll found. The poll of 2,232 adults, conducted by YouGov on behalf of CBS News following the presidential election, found that 45 percent of respondents said that Trump’s effort to “deport immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally” should be “high priority.” Another 28 percent said that it should be “medium priority,” while just 27 percent said it should not be a priority. A majority of respondents said that they would approve of Donald Trump “starting a national program to find and deport all immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally.” A full 57 percent said that they would approve of such a plan. Trump made mass deportations one of his key campaign promises, pledging to “launch the largest deportation program in American history.” Trump has since announced that former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tom Homan will serve as his border czar and be in charge of the deportation agenda. A full 74 percent of white respondents said that deportations should be a high or medium priority of the Trump administration, while 70 percent of black respondents and 69 percent of Hispanic respondents agreed, displaying broad support for the initiative. The results mimic the findings of an earlier post-election poll from Rasmussen, which found 64 percent of American voters approve of the president-elect’s plan to “launch the largest deportation program in American history.” The poll results come as Democrat lawmakers have already come out and indicated that they will not assist attempts by federal law enforcement to enforce immigration law and deport illegal aliens. In Colorado, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, a Democrat, indicated that he may even attempt to use the city’s police to prevent federal law enforcement from entering the city to carry out deportations. His comment came as an illegal alien was arrested after allegedly raping the 14-year-old daughter of his boss. The 20-year-old illegal alien and Venezuelan national is believed to have illegally entered the United States under the Biden-Harris administration. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy, a Democrat, similarly said that she would refuse to allow state police to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement operations. Federal agents based in Boston arrested three illegal aliens who have each been charged with or convicted of raping children.
