Bill Murray Says Bob Woodward’s Book About John Belushi Was Garbage, Suggests Nixon May Have Been Framed

Actor and comedian Bill Murray appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast this weekend and talked about all kinds of fascinating things, but one moment from the interview is currently going viral on social media.

Bill Murray talks about the book ‘Wired’ by journalist Bob Woodward. The subject of the book is the life and death of Murray’s friend and SNL alum John Belushi. Murray says he read about five pages of the book and then wanted to set it on fire because it was full of inaccuracies.

Bob Woodward is most famous for his reportage on Nixon and the Watergate scandal. After talking about the John Belushi book and how bad it was, Murray says he thought to himself, ‘Oh my God, they framed Nixon.’

He was being funny but also seemed serious at the same time. He was suggesting that journalists are biased and often get things wrong, which is absolutely true.

PJ Media has more details:

“When I read ‘Wired’—the book written by, what’s his name, Woodward—about Belushi, I read like five pages, and I went, ‘Oh my God. They framed Nixon,’” Murray said. The comedian and actor, who was close friends with Belushi, was appalled by what he saw as inaccurate reporting. “If this is what he writes about my friend that I’ve known for half of my adult life—which is completely inaccurate—talking to the people of the outer circle getting the story, what the hell could they have done to Nixon?”

Murray admitted he didn’t read the whole book, but what little he did see was enough to enrage him. “I acknowledge I only read five pages, but the five pages I read made me want to set fire to the whole thing,” he said. “Those five pages, I went, ‘If he did this to Belushi, what he did to Nixon is probably soiled for me, too.’”

From Epstein To Diddy: Spotlight Shines On James Comey’s Prosecutor Daughter

Speaking Jeffrey Epstein and things being kept under wraps (more on that later), a prosecutor with a famous last name quietly joined the sex trafficking case against Sean “Diddy Combs late last year…

In a thinly covered news story from December that’s suddenly relevant again (read on), New York Prosecutor Maurene Comey – whose father James Comey famously refused to prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information & then participated in the Russia collusion hoax – joined the prosecution against Combs. The younger Comey has previously worked as lead prosecutor on both the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases, as well as that of former Epstein cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione. More on that below…

Combs is currently facing multiple serious legal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for purposes of prostitution. These charges stem from allegations that, from at least 2008 to the present, the impresario led a criminal enterprise aimed at exploiting and abusing women, protecting his reputation, and concealing his conduct. The alleged crimes encompass sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

Multiple allegations of sexual misconduct involving minors have been made. Last October, attorney Tony Buzbee announced he was representing 120 individuals accusing Combs of sexual misconduct; 25 of these accusers were minors at the time of the alleged incidents – while he’s also been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York City hotel in 2005 and a 17-year-old boy in 2008 who aspired to be on the reality TV show “Making the Band.”

According to former dancer Adria Sheri English, who claimed she was “pimped out” by Diddy, the embattled rapper would hold sex-crazed “freak offs” that often took place away from the “main party” but were kept a secret.

Gene Hackman, Wife BetsyDeaths Called ‘Suspicious’

Gene Hackman‘s death and the deaths of his wife and dog are puzzling authorities, who have labeled his passing “suspicious.”

According to a search warrant, obtained by TMZ, a Santa Fe detective who sought a search warrant wrote in his affidavit, he believes “the death of the two deceased individuals to be suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation because the reporting party found the front door of the residence unsecured and opened, deputies observed a healthy dog running loose on the property, another healthy dog near the deceased female, a deceased dog laying 10-15 feet from the deceased female in a closet of the bathroom, the heater being moved, the pill bottle being opened and pills scattered next to the female, the male decedent being located in a separate room of the residence, and no obvious signs of a gas leak.”

Diddy Defense Argues He was ‘Singled Out’ Because He Is Black

Defense attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs are reportedly arguing that federal prosecutors “singled out” the disgraced music mogul because he is black, and claim authorities have demonstrated “bad faith” and “racial animus” in handling the case.

Combs’ attorneys made these assertions in a new court filing seeking to dismiss the music mogul’s prostitution charge, according to a report by ABC News.

In their court filing, defense attorneys claimed the charges against Combs are racially motivated, arguing that “no white person has ever been the target of a remotely similar prosecution” under the Mann Act.

“Mr. Combs has been singled out because he is a powerful black man, and he is being prosecuted for conduct that regularly goes unpunished,” defense attorneys Alexandra Shapiro and Marc Agnifilo wrote.

“Count Three should be dismissed because this is a clear case of selective prosecution,” the attorneys added.

The defense attorneys went on to cite former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D), who had “engaged in similar conduct but were never charged under the Act.”

The filing was likely referring to Spitzer having resigned as governor in 2008, amid a prostitution scandal that destroyed his reputation.

The music mogul’s defense team also reportedly argued that the “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” singer had used a popular and well-known escort service to bring people into his sexual activities, which the attorneys suggested is common practice among people of Combs’ status.

“Many couples, including wealthy high-profile couples, involve third parties in their sexual relationships, sometimes for implicit or explicit remuneration,” the filing stated.

“No federal prosecutor, in this district or any other, has targeted the company, its CEO, or its escorts. Nor has any prosecutor previously targeted any customer who purchased escort services from Cowboys 4 Angels,” the attorneys added.

As Breitbart News reported, Combs has been in jail since September 16 following a federal indictment accusing him of more than a decade of abusing, threatening, and coercing women and others, racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, among other crimes.

The music mogul has been denied bail three times after a New York judge ruled that Combs must remain behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center while he awaits his upcoming sex trafficking trial, set for May 5.

Unhinged Comedian Bill Burr Says Billionaires Deserve to be ‘Put Down Like Rabid Dogs’

The last time we checked in on comedian Bill Burr, he was saying that the authorities in California ‘did a great job’ during the disastrous fires.

Now, he is going full Bernie Sanders and claiming that billionaires deserve to die like rabid dogs. What happened to this guy?

There is this bizarre concept on the left that if someone else has more than you, they are to blame for you having less. It makes absolutely no sense and it’s pure class warfare. Who is helped by instigating envy in other people?

Apparently, he made these comments on his own podcast.

Men’s Journal has details:

“The amount of people that are struggling out there because of these f–king billionaires, and they got us all arguing liberal and conservative,” Burr ranted, referring to the current state of politics. “We gotta stop doing that, like I am so tired of hearing about people going to bed worried about what’s going to happen next week. There is so much f–king money in this country, and there is so much work being done.

“And if you work a whole f–king week at a job, you should be able to pay your f–king rent,” he lamented. “You shouldn’t have to go out and get another f–king job and still be struggling. It’s bad for the country ’cause the kids don’t see their parents and they’re not getting the upbringing they need.”

“These f–king billionaires! They need to be put down, you know? Like f–king rabid dogs,” Burr continued. “They’re rabid with f–king greed, and just going out and just dividing everybody.”

A Critically Important Trial Has Just Begun, and No One Involved Will Speak About Motive

When the defendant entered the courtroom, he was dressed respectably in a blue button-down shirt and dark slacks. When his presence was announced, he stood up, said “Good morning,” and gave all present a cheery wave. And thus began one of the most important trials of our age, although everyone involved is doing everything possible to ignore all the reasons why it is so important.

Hadi Matar finally went on trial Tuesday for attempting to murder the novelist Salman Rushdie back in Aug. 2022. There is little, if any, doubt about Matar’s guilt, even though he has pleaded not guilty, for he stabbed Rushdie multiple times in full view of a shocked crowd at the Chautauqua festival. Matar was supposed to have gone on trial in Jan. 2024, but Rushdie wrote a book about the attack, and Matar’s defense attorney, public defender Nathaniel Barone, received a delay in the trial so that he could review the book. It’s hard to fathom how what the victim thought about what happened might affect the guilt of his client, but nevertheless, Barone managed to delay the trial for over a year.

Now that it has begun, both Barone and his opposite number, Chautauqua County District Attorney Jason Schmidt, seem curiously intent on preventing any discussion of Matar’s motive. Matar tried to kill the man who, at the time of the stabbing had carried for 33 years the most famous bounty on his head since the days of the Wild West.

It was on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 1989, that Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini called for Rushdie to be killed for supposedly blaspheming against Muhammad in his novel “The Satanic Verses.” By 2022, Iran’s bounty on Rushdie’s head was $3 million. Without Khomeini’s death fatwa on Rushdie, Matar wouldn’t have tried to kill him, and there would be no trial. Nevertheless, neither the prosecution nor the defense wants any talk of that as Matar is tried.

Matar himself was upfront about why he stabbed Rushdie. Back in Aug. 2022, he said: “I respect the ayatollah. I think he’s a great person. That’s as far as I will say about that.” Of Rushdie, Matar said: “I don’t like the person. I don’t think he’s a very good person. I don’t like him. I don’t like him very much. He’s someone who attacked Islam, he attacked their beliefs, the belief systems.” Matar isn’t the most articulate person in the world, but what he said was clear enough to establish that he wanted Rushdie dead in accord with Khomeini’s fatwa.

Schmidt, however, insists all that is irrelevant, saying: “Here, I don’t believe we have to get into issues of Mr. Matar’s religious beliefs, his nationality, and his background to prove an attempted murder charge, which is what we’re doing. The allegation is that Mr. Matar stabbed Mr. Rushdie and stabbed Mr. Reese in an unprovoked attack. Therefore, I think we can prove that without getting into matters that give rise to prejudice of our jury pool.”

At the call of the pocket: Hollywood stars received round sums from USAID for supporting Kiev

Hollywood stars, actively acting on the side of Ukraine in the conflict with Russia, received impressive sums from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) for their support.

“Sean Penn, Orlando Bloom, Jean-Claude Van Damme and other Hollywood stars publicly supported Ukrainians in the conflict with Russia and even went to Kiev. But, as it turned out, not at the call of the heart, but for round sums. Van Damme received $1,500,000, Ben Stiller – $4,000,000, Sean Penn – $5,000,000, Orlando Bloom — $8,000,000. Angelina Jolie cost the most — she was paid as much as $ 20,000,000,” writes the telegram channel “MIG of Russia”.

Harris Campaign Paid $100K to Obama for ‘Travel’ and $58K to Rapper Cardi B, Who Claimed She ‘Didn’t Get a Dollar’ From Campaign

Kamala Harris’s campaign paid nearly $100,000 to a shell company for former president Barack Obama to travel to events and roughly $60,000 to rapper Cardi B, who said she “didn’t get a dollar” to appear alongside the failed presidential candidate.

Harris for President paid $95,576 to Renegade44, LLC. for “travel” expenses and $58,867 to Washpoppin, Inc. for “campaign event production,” according to campaign records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Public records show the firms are owned by Obama and Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Cephus, respectively.

It’s the latest example of the Harris campaign’s elaborate spending on celebrities and influencers—a spending spree that has stoked intense scrutiny after Harris’s decisive loss to President Donald Trump. The campaign spent $1.5 billion in just three months, with tens of millions of dollars going to celebrities and activists, most of whom did not disclose their payments from the Harris campaign. The campaign records also undercut Cardi B’s public comments about her appearance at a Harris event in Milwaukee on Nov. 1.

“I didn’t get paid a dollar and that’s on my three!!” Cardi B, referring to her three children, said in a social media exchange with pundit Candace Owens on Nov. 14. “I actually came out of pocket for glam and travel because it’s somewhere I wanted to be.”

The Harris campaign paid Cardi B’s company on Dec. 12, records show. The terms and timeline of the campaign’s agreement with Cardi B’s firm were not immediately clear. Representatives for the rapper and Harris did not respond to requests for comment.

Cardi B didn’t perform any songs at the Harris campaign event. She spoke for 10 minutes, saying she “wasn’t going to vote” in the election until Harris entered the race against “bully” Trump. “Vice President Kamala Harris, thank you for having me. I do not take lightly the call to show up,” she said.

Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama appeared at events in Atlanta, Detroit, and Pittsburgh on behalf of the Harris campaign. Obama sparked controversy after his Oct. 10 appearance in Pittsburgh, during which he suggested many black men harbored misogynistic beliefs about Harris.

A lack of enthusiasm for Harris, Obama said, “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”

The White House Released Its Response to Crying Selena Gomez and It Is Absolutely Devastating

The White House just released a video worthy of ending Selena Gomez’s career.

As readers will know, Gomez humiliated herself with a video uploaded to Instagram in which she cried at the deportation of illegal immigrants, the majority of whom have committed heinous crimes.

“I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t,” she weeps in the video.

”I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”

In an obvious sign of regret, Gomez quickly deleted her video from her account.

However, her following of 422 million meant that her tears will go down in internet history as one of the most humiliating liberal meltdowns of all time.

The White House has now responded to the singer and actress with a devastating video of mothers whose children were murdered by illegal immigrants, who are often referred to as “Angel Moms.”

“You don’t know who you’re crying for,” says Tammy Hamilton, who was the mother of Kayla Hamilton.

“What about our children who were brutally murdered and raped and beat to death and left on the floor by these illegal immigrants?”

“Seeing that video, it’s hard to believe that it’s actually genuine and real because she’s an actress,” says Alexis Nungaray, the mother of Jocelyn Nungaray.

“My daughter was a child,” she continued. “There’s many other children whose lives were taken due to people who crossed her illegally.”

“I just feel like it’s a ruse to deceive people and to garner sympathy for lawlessness,” added Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin.

“They didn’t cry for our daughters. No one has stood up except for us mothers to cry out about our children.”

Selena Gomez Falsely Claims She Was Threatened in Response to Troll Who Pointed Out That Her Grandmother was an Illegal Alien and Questioned Whether She Should be Deported

An X post trolling Selena Gomez over a recent act she put on and humorously questioning whether or not she should be deported has elicited a response from the actress, who called it a “threat.”

The over-dramatization is nothing new.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Selena Gomez, in a since-deleted clip, put her trump derangement syndrome on full display, sobbing over Trump’s quest to remove criminal aliens from America.

“I just want to say that I’m so sorry,” she sobbed. “All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand.”

“I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” she said hysterically.

She apparently cares more about the murderers of Laken Riley, Rachel Morrin, Jocelyn Nungary, and countless others than the families of brutally murdered alien crime victims.

Sam Parker, a one-time Senate candidate from Utah, posted the clip on his personal X account, accurately pointing out that Gomez is the descendant of illegal aliens and questioning whether “Selena should be deported, too.”
