Jay-Z EXPOSED with Diddy for rape allegations
Jay-Z has joined Diddy in the spotlight, as the rapper is now facing allegations that both he and Diddy raped a woman when she was only 13 years old.
According to the woman’s story, she was raped by the rappers while a third female celebrity watched.
“My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle,” Jay-Z wrote in a statement responding to the allegations.
“No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!! These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?” the rapper continued.
He went on to praise his own honor and accuse the lawyer of having a “pattern of these theatrics,” calling him a “deplorable human.”
Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” finds Jay-Z’s statement “laughable.”
“The man has spent his entire rap career bragging about being a drug dealer, and he’s now claiming, ‘We protected children, we had a strict code of honor, don’t you understand that drug dealers we have a strict code of honor and I’m an honorable person?’” Whitlock mocks.
“‘And my music lyrics, even though I know kids are rapping along to the profanity, the debauchery, the degeneracy, the immorality of my music, I’m really looking out and protecting these kids by preparing them for this satanic world that I’m a part of building,’” he adds, joking.
“The man’s statement is laughable,” he continues. “His whole career, his whole life seems to be dedicated towards the exploitation of young people, the stealing of innocence, the promotion of nihilism, and now he wants to run back.”
Whitlock also notes that Jay-Z dated Aaliyah when she was a teenager and met Beyonce, his wife, when she was a teenager.
“‘Those of us in the music industry in general, rap, rock, whatever, have a history of screwing teenage girls, but how could you believe it about me? I’m Jay-Z. Haven’t you listened to my music? Haven’t you listened to all this positive energy that I spread?’” Whitlock says, mocking the rapper again.
“Jay-Z’s a joke to me,” he adds.

Mental health and religion: Why men need God now more than ever
American men have been suffering in silence through an unprecedented mental health and suicide crisis — while women’s rights have taken center stage.
Carrie Sheffield, senior policy analyst for Independent Women’s Voice, believes it’s high time this changes.
“Nationwide, we are experiencing the highest suicide rate, the highest depression rate, ever in recorded American history. And unfortunately, men are hit hardest when it comes to suicide,” Sheffield tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight,” adding that 80% of suicides are committed by men.
“More than 90% of occupational deaths on the job are men. We don’t talk about this. The life span on average of men is far shorter than for women, and so we don’t talk about men. All the left loves to do is to demonize men,” she explains.
However, Sheffield believes there’s an answer for the men suffering in silence.
“Coming to faith, being in faith practice, religious community, religion. This is extremely tied with strong mental health, lower suicide, low substance abuse, and so it was an encouragement to men because men are far more likely to be atheist and agnostic,” Sheffield explains.
“Why aren’t people talking about what men would need in terms of mental health?” Peterson asks.
“In general, I think our culture has become divorced from truth,” Sheffield says. “Postmodern society is truth is whatever the wind is telling us. Whatever is trendy, whatever is hot, whatever is buzzy, and when our society falls away from that, it’s no wonder that then you fall into this situation.”
“I’ve experienced it myself as a recovered agnostic, where if you don’t believe in an eternal truth or purpose, then your mental health suffers. And so, I think for a lot of men, as the quote-unquote ‘feminist movement’ demonized men and tried to sever them from their purpose, which is to serve God, to serve people,” she continues.
“Part of that is this idea that a man could be a provider or a protector or create a family,” she says. “The feminist movement was trying to undermine all of that.”
However, there’s some good news.
“I looked at a headline that came out, I think, last week, and Bible sales are actually up 22% in America,” Savage comments.
“The Bible sales, the 22% increase, which is phenomenal, that you mentioned, this is being driven by first-time Bible-buyers,” Sheffield says. “They’re discovering it by themselves, they’re being, in some ways, pioneers in their own family. And it’s being led by young men.”
“And so that’s a glimmer of hope,” she adds.

Corporate media is crumbling — Americans have had enough
In an ironic twist of fate, some of the best news recently reported is the news that corporate media platforms like MSNBC and CNN are collapsing under the weight of low ratings and biased reporting.
“That is good news because we don’t need propagandists and demagogues,” Mark Levin of “LevinTV” says. “Either you’re an opinion show or you're a news show, but you can’t be both at the same time.”
Comcast owns MSNBC, which it is now going to “spin off.”
“MSNBC, we know what that is. That’s America Pravda and Al Jazeera. It’s about as sleazy and awful as it gets, and their ratings dead, their hosts are maniacal, it’s just terrible,” Levin says, guessing that “spin it off” means they’ll “eventually sell it to get it out from the umbrella corporation.”
“That would be a good thing, but you know, it’ll probably be like garage-sale prices because who wants a losing network of a bunch of Marxists, Islamists, and low-IQ morons,” he continues.
And it isn’t just MSNBC that’s changing things up, as even Jeff Bezos made waves when he refused to allow the Washington Post to endorse Kamala Harris for president.
“Even though he’s a liberal, the newsroom, as they call it, rose up against him, because he didn’t want an editorial endorsing any candidate,” Levin says. “So he says, ‘We’re going to fix this. I’m changing the Washington Post.’”
The owner of the L.A. Times also refused to publish an editorial endorsing Kamala Harris and fired the entire editorial board instead.
“What’s happening here is the American people have had enough. They’re not watching MSNBC. CNN is going to have they said, ‘huge layoffs.’ Why? They have no ratings. MSNBC has no ratings, and they’re not making any money,” Levin explains.
After Trump’s landslide victory, the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” even attempted to make amends with the president-elect in anticipation of what’s to come.
“Mika and Joe Scarborough saw they have a problem as they waddled down to Mar-a-Lago to kiss President Trump’s ring,” Levin says, adding, “‘Hey, Hitler, can we come see you?’”

NBC leaves out CRITICAL context in Trump interview
Unlike Kamala Harris, President-elect Donald Trump isn’t afraid to sit down for conversation with his opposition — and he gave his first sit-down interview since winning the 2024 election to NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
And of course, picking at Trump’s plan for the immigration crisis was at the top of interviewer Kristen Welker’s mind.
“You promised to end birthright citizenship on day one. Is that still your plan?” Welker asked, to which Trump promptly responded, “Yeah, absolutely.”
“The 14th Amendment though says that ‘All persons born in the United States are citizens.’ Can you get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action?” Welker asked again.
“We have to end it. We’re the only country that has it,” Trump said. “You know, if somebody sets a foot, just a foot. One foot. You don’t need two, on our land, congratulations, you are now a citizen of the United States of America. Yes, we’re going to end that because it's ridiculous.”
Welker continued asking if Trump planned to do so through executive action, which he first offered that they would need to “go back to the people.” Finally, he replied again with “if we can.”
Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” can’t help but point out the flaw in Welker’s use of the 14th Amendment. “It was written for slavery. It was written because all citizens could vote.”
“So the Southerners, the Democrats, said, ‘Well, they’re not citizens, they’re from Africa, so they can’t vote,’” he continues. “If you were born here, even if you were born a slave, that’s what that was about. That was not illegal immigration,” Glenn explains.
“We are the only one that has it. And the only reason we do have it is because of slavery. It was a way to make sure the Democrats didn’t just cut blacks out of the vote again. That’s what’s so crazy,” he adds.
Not only does Welker not seem to understand the history behind the 14th Amendment, Stu Burguiere points out that she doesn’t understand what the amendment itself says.
“‘All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the state wherein they reside,’” Burguiere reads from the 14th Amendment. “That phrase, ‘and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,’ means that illegal immigrants are not included.”
“To be subject of that jurisdiction means that you have to have a basis in the country. So it’s not like you just cross the border and, ‘Hey, I’m now a subject of this jurisdiction.’ You’re a visitor,” Burguiere continues.
“Or in this case, a criminal crossing the border. So you would not necessarily get those protections of that 14th Amendment,” he adds.

Daniel Penny’s 'toxic' masculinity saved lives
Daniel Penny was found not guilty by a Manhattan jury and has been cleared of all charges for the death of Jordan Neely. Penny placed Neely in a chokehold on the subway to keep him from harassing passengers in May 2023.
Neely, 30, was a homeless street performer and Michael Jackson impersonator who was shouting, throwing things, and making threats on the F train in SoHo. According to Penny and other witnesses, Neely was yelling that someone was “going to die today.”
The homeless street performer was alive when the police got to him, but the police said that they didn’t want to resuscitate him via mouth to mouth because he was dirty and looked as if he could be carrying diseases.
While Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” believes the police reaction is “very sad,” she’s undeniably pleased with the verdict.
“One woman who was on the train, one witness, thanked Penny for saving her life. Another passenger described this rant as a satanic rant, and many passengers said that Daniel Penny actually kept them safe that day,” she comments, adding, “The fact that he was alive when the police found him, that is very significant here.”
The courage that Penny, who is a former Marine, showed in the situation has become increasingly rare and almost impossible to come by — especially considering the way his life changed following the incident.
“We’ve all seen videos go viral on X where a young woman is being either sexually assaulted, is being sexually harassed, and the men around them do absolutely nothing. Either because they’re cowards, they don’t want to be inconvenienced, or because they know something like this is going to happen to them, especially if you have a black suspect,” Stuckey explains.
“That’s just the case, when you’ve got a white person and a black person and the white person even just appears like the aggressor, you know that you are going to lose in the media. You know that you’re going to lose in the court of public opinion,” she adds.
While Penny didn’t lose in the court of public opinion this time, had Neely’s death occurred four years ago, Stuckey believes we’d have seen a different verdict.
“I think if what happened to Jordan Neely happened four years ago, we would have seen a different verdict,” she says. “Which is actually very sad because verdicts should not depend upon the cultural moment, it should not depend upon social media outrage, it shouldn’t depend upon protest or how loud one side is. It should only depend upon the facts.”

Gavin Newsom's INSANE electric vehicle policy could impact YOU
If your plan was to make cars more expensive for everyone, then you would do exactly what Gov. Gavin Newsom is doing with his extreme emissions regulations.
“No matter where you live,” Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” comments. “We’re talking about impossible quotas, massive fines for automakers, and even a new gas tax. It’s going to make drivers furious.”
Automotive expert and journalist Lauren Fix isn’t thrilled with the plan, either.
“There’s a lot going on,” she tells Savage and Matthew Peterson. “Right now, California currently has from the California Air Resources Board a mandate that by 2026, 35% of all vehicles sold in the state of California should be all electric.”
“By 2030, all electric,” she continues. “No vehicles will be allowed to be sold in the state that are gasoline powered. That’s going to be a problem, considering the cost of electricity there is the highest in the country.”
But it gets worse.
“Every car sold today, as we speak, has a $20,000 fine on top of it for not meeting the California air resources board,” Fix explains. “So every manufacturer is paying a loss of $20,000 on every car that’s sold.”
Starting the first of the year, California will also be adding a 68-cent tax on every car that’s sold.
“That’ll make it even more expensive. So the idea is to incentivize you to give up your gasoline-powered vehicle, but then you have a car payment, higher insurance rates, and no place to charge,” Fix says, noting that it will not only be California affected.
“It’s going to actually affect the whole country, because car manufacturers are not going to build a car just for the state of California. They’re going to build a car for the entire country,” she explains.
While 17 states, including New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, unsurprisingly side with California — Fix believes Trump can stop them.
“If I had his ear, I would tell him to go after the California Air Resources Board, get them to dissipate, because President Obama gave them even more power. So whatever California says, the entire country is forced to follow it,” Fix says.
“Car manufacturers can’t afford to have billions of dollars in fines. Instead, they’re taking millions of dollars in losses, and we’re all paying for it,” she adds.
