If seeing is believing, the recently released video footage showing the attack on Paul Pelosi shouldn’t just make people think twice about conspiracy theories, they should result in a plethora of apologies. But here in the real world, neither of those things happened—even after definitive proof was presented. Consider the case of Brian Claypool , a criminal defense attorney and Fox News talking head who was confronted with the truth on live TV last week. In case you missed it, Claypool was on Fox News to talk about the attack, when he asked, “Where is the evidence of a breaking and entering?” He was interrupted by co-anchor Sandra Smith, who informed Claypool that “There’s video of [the perpetrator] breaking through the house.” The video was then shown on the screen, as co-anchor John Roberts chimed in, saying: “He’s clearly using that [weapon] to break in.” After a few seconds of stunned speechlessness, Claypool stammered: “Yeah, okay, but can’t we talk more … [Read more...] about MAGAs Won’t Let Go of Their Paul Pelosi Conspiracy Theories

Kate Hudson in ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ Was the Original ‘Cool Girl’
It’s hard to forget the searing “Cool Girl” screed from Gillian Flynn ’s novel Gone Girl and the 2015 movie adaptation of the same name. To refresh, it goes something like this: “ Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, shit on me, I don’t mind, I’m the Cool Girl. ” The wild thing is: Barring a few, this list of adjectives reads like the character description of one Andie Anderson, protagonist of 2003’s How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days , which turns 20 years old this week. Can you believe … [Read more...] about Kate Hudson in ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ Was the Original ‘Cool Girl’
Preacher Accused of Enabling Pedophile at Creationist ‘Dino’ Theme Park
Billy Summers had only known Kent Hovind a couple days when Hovind told him about the convicted child sex offender who sometimes visited Hovind’s Christian amusement park. They were in Hovind’s car, picking up supplies for Dinosaur Adventure Land, the creationist theme park that Hovind operates in a quiet pocket of Alabama. Hovind spoke about a longtime friend who had done time for battery and committing lewd acts on children under the age of 14. Hovind claimed the conviction was a sham, and that the friend was actually being persecuted for his work exposing the New World Order . But Summers was alarmed. “In my head, I was like, ‘well, I’m stuck out in the middle of Alabama right now, riding along with him, so I can’t say nothing,’” Summers told The Daily Beast. In interviews with former workers, and recordings from internal Dinosaur Adventure Land (DAL) meetings, people close to the theme park expressed concerns about Hovind’s cavalier attitude toward crime on the compound. … [Read more...] about Preacher Accused of Enabling Pedophile at Creationist ‘Dino’ Theme Park
