WNBA Investigation Confirms Claims of ‘Monkey Chants’ Targeting Angel Reese Were Another Race Hoax

The WNBA announced on Tuesday that its investigation found no evidence to support claims of “racist fan behavior” at a recent matchup between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever in Indianapolis.

This update comes nine days after the league launched a probe into accusations that Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese had been subjected to “hateful fan comments” during the game.

“We have investigated the report of racist fan behavior in the vicinity of the court during the May 17, 2025 Chicago Sky at Indiana Fever game,” the WNBA said in a statement.

“Based on information gathered to date, including from relevant fans, team and arena staff, as well as audio and video review of the game, we have not substantiated it.”

LOL! Hate Hoaxer Jussie Smollett Continues The Con After Paying $50,000 to Charity in Settlement with Chicago – Still Claims He Didn’t Pay Fake Attackers to Jump Him in Wild Statement

‘Empire’ actor and disgraced race-hoaxer Jussie Smollett announced on Friday that he paid $50,000 to the Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts nonprofit as part of a settlement he entered with the city of Chicago for his infamous 2019 hate crime hoax.

In his announcement of the payout, he continued his con and portrayed himself as a victim of weaponized justice as he continued to peddle his debunked claims that he was targeted and attacked because of the color of his skin.

The City of Chicago previously filed a lawsuit against Smollett after it was revealed he submitted a false police report and was behind the hate hoax crime against himself. Smollett countersued and insisted he did not orchestrate the hate hoax.

Smollett reached a settlement with the city of Chicago last month, 6 years after he orchestrated a hate hoax crime, The Gateway Pundit reported.

In November 2024, the Illinois Supreme Court reversed Jussie Smollett’s conviction after the city had entered a plea deal with Smollett in 2019 in exchange for $10,000 and community service. The Supreme Court did not exonerate Smollett but held that he could not be punished twice and upheld his Fifth Amendment rights against double jeopardy. However, Smollett still contends that he was “exonerated” by the Supreme Court.

The ‘Empire’ actor said the attackers poured bleach on him and put a noose around his neck while verbally abusing him with homophobic and racial slurs.

It turns out Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian brothers over $3,000 to help him pull off the “MAGA Country” hate hoax crime.

Ex-Los Angeles deputy mayor will plead guilty in fake bomb threat to city hall

A former Los Angeles deputy mayor will plead guilty to reporting a bomb had been placed in city hall last year to law enforcement, federal prosecutors said Thursday.

Brian K. Williams, 31, who was employed as the deputy mayor of public safety in October 2024, was charged with one felony count of making an explosives threat. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison.

William’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Williams sent a text message to LA Mayor Karen Bass and other high-ranking city officials on Oct. 3, 2024 that he just received a call from someone who threatened to bomb city hall, prosecutors said.

“The male caller stated that ‘he was tired of the city support of Israel, and he has decided to place a bomb in City Hall. It might be in the rotunda.’,” Williams wrote in the text, according to prosecutors. He said he contacted the Los Angeles Police Department, who sent officers to search the building.

Police did not locate any suspicious packages or devices, prosecutors said.

Williams showed officers a call he received from a blocked number on his city-issued cellphone that he said was from the person who made the bomb threat. The call was made by Williams himself through the Google Voice application on his personal phone, according to prosecutors.

California hiker who fell off cliff and survived three weeks in wilderness hit by shocking claim

A hiker who was found after falling off a cliff and surviving for three weeks in the California wilderness has been called out by skeptics who are questioning if she’s telling the truth about her journey. 

Tiffany Slaton, 28, was reported missing by her family on April 29 after not hearing from her for nine days, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said. 

The department then sent out several alerts about her disappearance and called on the public to look out for her, as one tip confirmed she was last seen at Huntington Lake on April 20. 

Slaton, of Jeffersonville, Georgia was on a solo trip through the Sierra Nevada when she said she suddenly became lost after falling off a cliff. 

After her fall, Slaton said she endured a treacherous three weeks before she was finally found on May 14. 

She was located inside a cabin at the Vermilion Valley Resort near Lake Edison, the sheriff’s office said. 

Despite making it out of the situation alive, many are now wondering if Slaton’s shocking survival journey is truthful and if her family’s fundraising motives were created with the right intentions. 

‘I’m glad to see that other people don’t believe this story. So many things don’t add up, I hope this office investigates fully since resources were used,’ one commenter said. 

‘Something‘s very off about the story. I don’t believe her at all. I think she’s just looking for fame or money,’ wrote another. 

‘It’s embarrassing to think people believe someone fell off a cliff, survived 2 hours unconscious (guess she was timing it), popped her knee back into place, and traveled 20 miles after splinting her leg,’ another wrote. 

While many are unsure if the story is factual or fictional, a lot of people stood up for Slaton after she returned home. 

‘The kid went on an adventure with no reception. It’s not her fault search and rescue crews didn’t listen to the family and found her weeks later,’ someone said. 

Another stated: ‘Tiffany is a true survivor and fighter to the end. Sounds like a movie in the making.’ 

After falling from a cliff, Slaton said  she was unable to return to the main road because she was then hit by an avalanche, causing her to fall unconscious for two hours. 

When she finally woke up, she realized she injured herself and went on to splint one of her legs and pop her knee back into place, she recalled. 

She then proceeded on her journey, where she made it through 13 snowstorms, two landslides, had to eat wild leeks, boil snow melt for drinking water, and also got her tent, electric bike, phone and two sleeping bags stolen, according to the hiker.

Michigan Judge Fights Lipreader Evidence which might prove she Lied to Cops after Assaulting Shopkeeper, Alleging Hate Hoax

In a misconduct saga that’s dragged on longer than most felonies, a Michigan judge accused of faking an assault allegation and charge of racism against a small businessman, wants key evidence thrown out, including silent surveillance footage and expert lip readers that might prove she lied to police.

Judge Demetria Brue of Detroit’s 36th District Court is fighting misconduct charges from the state’s Judicial Tenure Commission over a 2019 dispute with a Mackinac Island bike shop owner that she accused of being a racist. The Commission has said they are upset about two things: 1) that the judges lied about the encounter, and 2) that they attempted to use their status as judges to evade prosecution, both of which are against the rules for judges.

Documents reveal that the significant delay has been caused by repeated motions filed by the two judges challenging the process and power of the commission to censure them.

The shop owner, Ira Green, operates a bike rental business on Michigan’s Mackinac Island, and rented to two judges who were sightseeing during a judicial conference being held on the island.

The JTC says Brue falsely claimed the shop owner assaulted her during what was supposed to be a $23 sightseeing trip along with another Michigan judge, Judge Debra Nance of Southfield, Michigan. The Detroit Judge Brue wanted half off the price of the bike rental because of a complaint about how the bike handled, and then grabbed the receipt after, allegedly, calling the shop owner racist.

After 6 Years and an Overturned Conviction, Jussie Smollett and Chicago Reach Settlement over Hate Crime Hoax

Hate crime hoaxer and actor Jussie Smollett has finally reached a settlement with the city of Chicago six years after the city sued him over his accusations.

Chicago sued Smollett after he was accused of orchestrating a hoax when he claimed in 2019 that he was assaulted by two men in MAGA hats during a freezing Chicago winter. Police later determined that Smollett knew the two men and had organized the “attack” so he could drum up publicity to help his acting career.

City officials sued Smollett to recover the $130,000 in expenses the city incurred investigating his claims of being subjected to a hate crime in the middle of deep blue Chicago.

But Smollett denied orchestrating the assault and counter sued the city for what he said were false accusations.

Now, according to NBC News, Smollett has settled the case, though the city has not reported the details saying they “need more time to finalize documentation.”

Smollett was the focus of a special prosecutor determined that Smollett did commit a hoax and also said Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx committed “substantial abuses of discretion” in her lax conduct of the case. Smollett was also charged with six disorderly conduct counts.

The ‘Maryland Man’ Hoax Is Designed To Criminalize Immigration Enforcement

The propaganda press’s latest manufactured sob story isn’t just another hit piece targeting President Donald Trump — it’s part of a manufactured, strategic campaign to guilt Americans out of supporting immigration enforcement and delegitimize the very concept of national borders.

Last month the Trump administration deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gang member from El Salvador — to a prison in El Salvador.

Abrego Garcia crossed the border illegally in 2011 and was detained in March of 2019. He was charged with removability and was later denied bond when an immigration judge concluded that evidence “show[ed] [Abrego Garcia] is a verified member of MS-13” and found that he failed to prove “that his release from custody would not pose a danger to others.” As explained by Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article 3 Project, Abrego filed an asylum claim six months later. In turn, a judge ruled Abrego Garcia could not be deported to El Salvador. As Chamberlain explained, “Any third country would be sufficient.”

Following legal challenges, “The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a lower court’s decision to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia from an El Salvador prison,” as reported by Fox News.

El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, said he had no plans to send Garcia back to the United States. “How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?” Bukele told reporters on Monday. “I don’t have the power to return him to the United States.”

But reading the headlines from the left-wing media, one would think the administration snatched a soccer dad off the streets of Baltimore.

The Associated Press’s Seung Min Kim and Marcos Alemán wrote, “El Salvador President Bukele says he won’t be releasing a Maryland man back to the US.” Politico’s Myah Ward and Eli Stokols wrote, “El Salvador won’t return wrongly deported Maryland man.” The New York Times’ Zolan Kanno-Youngs wrote, “El Salvador’s Leader Says He Won’t Return Wrongly Deported Maryland Man.” And NBC News ran the headline “El Salvador won’t return Maryland man to the U.S …”

This “reporting” wasn’t sloppy journalism; it was a deliberate reframing designed to erase the distinction between criminal deportation and family separation, between illegal alien and U.S. citizen. And it isn’t just the left-wing legacy media spreading the misinformation — Democrats joined in, treating the alleged MS-13 member like some long-lost neighbor.

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen said he “intend[s] to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s condition and discuss his release.”

“Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump admin. He must be brought home NOW.”

But it was Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s post on X that said the quiet part out loud: “If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next?”

“This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States,” she continued.

And there it is. The entire “Maryland man” hoax isn’t about the single deportation of an illegal alien illegally residing in the United States — it’s simply being exploited by the left in their psychological operation designed to gin up opposition to Trump and terrify Americans into ceding their right to reclaim their sovereignty and deport foreign nationals.

Unsealed Crossfire Hurricane Docs Further Prove Russiagate Was A Hoax All Along

Democrats and their media allies have run a lot of unsubstantiated hoaxes throughout the past several years. And while each is damaging in its own way, one of the biggest and arguably most destructive conspiracies perpetuated by these actors and Americans’ own government was the unsubstantiated narrative that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.

Despite a complete lack of “actual” corroborating evidence, leftists spent years fomenting delusions that the New York-born billionaire, while in cahoots with the Kremlin, had masterminded a scheme to undermine American “democracy” and deny Hillary Clinton the White House. Even worse was many of these conspiracies were aided by U.S. intel agencies like the FBI, which concocted a years-long investigation (“Crossfire Hurricane”) into Trump’s first presidency using baseless “evidence” bought and paid for by a Clinton campaign-hired law firm.

While Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 analysis of the FBI’s antics confirmed what The Federalist had reported for years — that there was no evidenciary basis for the agency’s anti-Trump probe — the damage the conspiracy had done to Americans’ trust in elections was already complete. And now, almost two years after Durham’s bombshell report, newly released documents further prove the baselessness of the scheme.

Obtained by The Federalist late last week, the nearly 700 pages of government records offer an introspective look into the FBI’s efforts to undermine Trump using its crooked Crossfire Hurricane operation.

Islamist Found Guilty of Hate Crime in Bomb Scare Plot Targeting Christian Churches Across the U.S.

A federal jury has found 45-year-old Zimnako Salah of Phoenix, Arizona, guilty on multiple counts after he targeted Christian churches across three states with hoax bomb threats, motivated purely by anti-Christian hatred.

Following an 11-day trial, the jury returned its verdict Thursday, concluding Salah planted a backpack at a Christian church in Roseville, California, in an attempt to simulate a bomb threat.

The device, strapped to a church toilet, was intended to terrorize innocent congregants and obstruct their right to worship.

The jury found that Salah specifically targeted the church because of the Christian faith of its members—legally designating this act as a hate crime.

From September to November 2023, Salah visited four churches across Arizona, California, and Colorado. At two of those houses of worship, he successfully planted suspicious backpacks that caused widespread panic among congregants.

At the other two locations, security thankfully intervened before he could finish his sinister plans.

More disturbingly, this wasn’t just a hoax — it was preparation for something far worse. According to testimony at trial, Salah was also assembling the real thing: a bomb capable of fitting inside one of those backpacks.

An FBI bomb technician seized components for an improvised explosive device (IED) in Salah’s rented storage unit. It wasn’t just intimidation — it was groundwork for domestic terrorism.

Dallas Rabbi Who Spread False Hamas Rape Claims Arrested for Child Molestation

A Dallas zionist rabbi who publicly spread false claims about Hamas raping Israeli women on October 7 has been arrested for sexually abusing a teenage boy.

Rabbi Yizhak Meir Sabo, 43, was charged with indecency with a child, according to Dallas County jail records. Authorities arrested him on April 1 and set his bail at $100,000. The reports surfaced on March 27, prompting the Akiba Yavneh Academy to place him on administrative leave.

According to an affidavit, Sabo repeatedly pulled down a male student’s pants and touched his genitals. The abuse allegedly occurred while the student was in grades 9-12. Sabo also watched the student shower and gave him inappropriate “massages,” the report states.

School officials called the reports “shocking and serious” and banned Sabo from campus and all school-related activities. More families have since come forward with additional concerns. However, investigators have stated that the current case does not involve younger students.
