Washington Commanders suspend exec who called team's players anti-gay, 'dumb as hell' in O'Keefe undercover video



The Washington Commanders suspended an executive who called the team's players anti-gay and "dumb as hell" in an undercover video from the O'Keefe Media Group, ESPN reported.

Vice president of content Rael Enteen met an O'Keefe undercover reporter on the dating app Hinge, the sports network said, citing a video from the media group, adding that Enteen and the female met twice at local restaurants. You can view the O'Keefe Media Group video here.

'The language used in the video runs counter to our values at the Commanders organization.'

Enteen told the undercover reporter that "over 50% of our roster is white religious, and God says, 'F*** the gays.' Their interpretation. I don't buy any of that. Another big chunk is low-income African-Americans that comes from a community that is inherently very homophobic," according to ESPN.

The sports network added that Enteen in the video said some players are "dumb as hell" and that smart ones don't stay that way after getting hit in the head too many times. ESPN also said players who "get their heads knocked around a few times" are more susceptible to conspiracy theories.

Enteen also said, "I don't think the commissioner of the NFL [Roger Goodell] hates gay people, hates black people. [Dallas Cowboys owner] Jerry Jones — who really runs the NFL — I think he hates gay people, black people," the sports network reported.

A Commanders' spokesperson said in a statement that "the language used in the video runs counter to our values at the Commanders organization. We have suspended the employee pending an investigation and will reserve further comment at this time," ESPN noted.

Enteen — who has been with the Commanders for four years after a two-year stint with the New York Jets — called the NFL's social justice initiatives "performative," the sports network said.

"It's not done out of the goodness of their heart," Enteen said, according to ESPN. "It's done because George Floyd changed the game. ... It's to make as much money as possible. The NFL cares about the bottom line, like any corporation, above all else."

Enteen added that the NFL "can faux prioritize DEI for the sake of good publicity" because the league makes so much money, the sports network said.

What's more, Enteen told the undercover reporter that "most of the fans are high-school-educated alcoholics"; he also called them "mouth breathers," ESPN reported.

Enteen also characterized his efforts to sell the idea three years ago that only water was leaking from pipes at the Commanders' stadium as akin to "state-run media," the sports network said.

'We need to cut all their throats!' UK official arrested on suspicion of encouraging murder of anti-immigration protesters



A United Kingdom official was arrested after he called for the throats of anti-immigration protesters to be cut, the Independent reported.

Ricky Jones, who sits on the Dartford Borough Council, also was suspended by the Labour Party after his Wednesday outdoor speech before a "cheering crowd" in Walthamstow, east London, the outlet said.

'This horrific man needs arresting, and all those visibly clapping here should have this video sent to their bosses and families. There’s no place for this murderous talk anywhere in our society.'

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage on Thursday posted video on X showing the speech in question. The Daily Mail reported that Jones in his "inflammatory speech" hollered, "They are disgusting, nasty fascists, and we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all!" The clip shows him sliding his finger across his throat as he spoke; he then led a “free, free Palestine!" chant.

In addition, Jones "accused members of the far-right of putting National Front stickers with razor blades hidden behind them on trains," the Daily Mail added.

The Independent said Metropolitan Police posted a statement on X saying "officers have arrested a man aged in his 50s at an address in south-east London. He was held on suspicion of encouraging murder and for an offense under the Public Order Act. He is in custody at a south London police station.”

What's more, a Labour Party spokesperson said “this behavior is completely unacceptable, and it will not be tolerated. The councillor has been suspended from the party," the Independent reported.

Mike Galsworthy, chair of the anti-Brexit European Movement UK, noted on X that "this horrific man needs arresting, and all those visibly clapping here should have this video sent to their bosses and families. There’s no place for this murderous talk anywhere in our society.”

A deadly mass stabbing took place July 29 at a Taylor Swift-themed children's dance class in Southport, England, during which a 17-year-old male was accused of killing three and injuring numerous other victims. Officials initially said there was no evidence that terrorism was a motive, which angered many who accused the government of covering up evidence.

Police identified suspect Axel Rudakubana and charged him with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder. Officials identified him as being from Cardiff but also noted that his parents are Rwandan.

Unrest and violence erupted the day after the stabbings and have spread across the U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer denounced the violence and blamed "far-right thuggery."

Radio host Glenn Beck, co-founder of Blaze Media, on Tuesday opined that "two-tier justice" — in which police more or less ignore Muslim immigrant crime but come down hard on non-Muslims — has been laid bare in the U.K. in the wake of the deadly knife attack.

This week, Austrian authorities arrested a 19-year-old male, accusing him of a terror plot targeting now-canceled Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna. Authorities said he was radicalized by the Islamic State, "thinks it is right to kill infidels," and confessed he wanted to "kill as many people as possible."

Authorities found Islamic State group and al-Qaida material at the home of a second suspect in the terror plot — a 17-year-old male — and added that he was employed just days ago by a company providing services at the concert venue and was arrested by special police forces near the stadium, the Associated Press said.

'I'M BACK!' YouTube restores Trump's ability to post videos



More than two years after blocking then-President Donald Trump from posting new content to his YouTube channel, the platform has reversed course and will once again allow the former president to upload videos.

Axios reported that the video platform's vice president of public policy, Leslie Miller, noted that the channel "is no longer restricted and the ability to upload new content is restored."

"We carefully evaluated the continued risk of real-world violence, balancing that with the importance of preserving the opportunity for voters to hear equally from major national candidates in the run up to an election," she said, according to the outlet. "This channel will continue to be subject to our policies, just like any other channel on YouTube."

Comments had also been disabled on Trump's videos, but that has also apparently been lifted, as people have been leaving comments on Friday.

None

YouTube, like other platforms, took action against Trump's account in January 2021 — but the platforms have been reversing course.

Twitter reinstated Trump last year after billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk acquired the company. Meta announced in January 2023 that it would "be reinstating Mr. Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts in the coming weeks."

Trump, who announced in November 2022 that he is running for president again, has been communicating with supporters by sharing content on Truth Social. While he has not yet posted any content on Twitter since regaining access, he returned to YouTube and Facebook on Friday, sharing a video clip from his 2016 election victory speech along with the message, "I'M BACK!"

I'M BACK! www.youtube.com

Other figures, including Vivek Ramaswamy and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, are challenging Trump for the GOP presidential nomination. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has not announced a presidential run, is widely viewed as a figure who may throw his hat into the ring. Earlier this week, GOP Rep. Chip Roy of Texas issued a full-throated endorsement of the Sunshine State governor: "It's time for Ron DeSantis to be President of the United States," Roy declared.

Radio broadcaster indefinitely suspended for 'illegal aliens' comment



Radio broadcaster Gary Hahn has been indefinitely suspended after mentioning "illegal aliens" during a broadcast.

While covering Duke's Mayo Bowl on Friday, Hahn gave the score of the Sun Bowl, saying that "amongst all the illegal aliens" in El Paso, the game stood at UCLA with 14 and Pittsburgh with 6.

\u201cAUDIO: Here\u2019s the clip that got NC State play-by-play announcer Gary Hahn suspended indefinitely.\n\n\u201cAmongst all the illegal aliens in El Paso,\u201d he says before listing the score of the Sun Bowl.\n\n@WRAL\u201d
— Keenan Willard (@Keenan Willard) 1672437346

"Learfield has suspended Wolfpack Sports Network play-by-play announcer Gary Hahn from his agreement indefinitely following comments made during today’s Duke’s Mayo Bowl radio broadcast," Wolfpack Sports Properties general manager Kyle Winchester noted in a statement relayed by NC State, according to newsobserver.com

El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser declared a state of emergency earlier this month as the area grappled with an influx of migrants, according to CNN.

"The City and OEM continue sending roving teams to the various areas where migrants are congregating to provide transportation services and/or temporary shelter. The City has initiated the use of three (3) hotels to use as emergency shelter hotels to ensure individuals and families are able to get off the streets and out of the freezing temperatures," a December 20 government press release noted. "The City and OEM are also preparing the use of the El Paso Convention Center to expand shelter services later this week."

Sun Bowl Association executive director Bernie Olivas announced that the Fan Fiesta was cancelled, mentioning the use of the convention center for migrants — the festivities had been slated to occur at the El Paso Convention Center.

"As the Tony the Tiger Fan Fiesta presented by El Paso LIVE was cancelled due to the humanitarian efforts that are currently being held in the El Paso Convention Center, the Sun Bowl Association is now hosting the Battle of the Bands and other events from the Fan Fiesta at Freedom Crossing beginning at 4 p.m. (MT) on Thursday, Dec. 29," the Sun Bowl Association noted.

Twitter account suspended after menacing tweet saying Matt Walsh, Chaya Raichik, and others 'should have to fear for their lives more'



A Twitter account has been suspended after suggesting that Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik, conservative commentator Matt Walsh, Gays Against Groomers founder Jaimee Michell, and YouTuber Tim Pool should have to be afraid for their lives.

"Chaya Raichik, Tim Pool, Matt Walsh, Jaimee Michell, et al have been way too comfortable lately. I personally think they should have to fear for their lives more," an account with the handle @hoot_little tweeted, according to a screenshot.

Libs of TikTok posted a screenshot that showed Greg Price retweeting the menacing post and asking Elon Musk whether it is "still against Twitter's terms of service to threaten people's lives?"

Musk responded in the affirmative, tweeting, "Yes."

\u201cThank you, @elonmusk\u201d
— Libs of TikTok (@Libs of TikTok) 1669244286

Since taking over Twitter, Musk has reinstated some previously banned accounts, the most high profile of which was the account of former President Donald Trump. Musk reinstated Trump's account after posting a Twitter poll — a majority of votes in the poll supported restoring the former president's account.

Earlier this year, before acquiring Twitter, Musk was critical of the company's move to banish Trump from the platform and said that if he owned Twitter, he would undo the ban. He also noted that he believes permanent bans should be very "rare" and reserved for targeting illegitimate accounts, like spam and scam accounts. Musk has recently indicated that he will not reinstate Alex Jones, who was permanently suspended from the social media platform in 2018.

Musk posted a poll on Wednesday asking whether Twitter should grant a mass amnesty to suspended accounts.

"Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?" Musk asked. So far, a majority of votes have been cast in favor Musk's proposal.

'F*** you!': School district staffers — reportedly middle school guidance counselors — on leave after apparently flipping off anti-LBGTQ folks in video



A pair of school district employees in Oregon were placed on leave earlier this month after posting a TikTok video — apparently recorded on school property — featuring an F-bomb and the duo from Newberg Public Schools flipping off what some outlets say are people opposed to the LBGTQ agenda.

What are the details?

The pair lip synch a song by Gayle titled "ABCDEFU." The lyrics audible in the clip are: "And I was tryin' to be nice, but nothing's getting through, so let me spell it out ... ABCDEFU ... and your mom and your sister and your job and your broke-ass car and that s**t you call art, f*** you."

Part of the way into the clip they both issue double middle fingers to their targets while standing in front of a rainbow banner that reads, “We believe black lives matter, love is love, feminism is for everyone, no human being is illegal, science is real" — and ironically — "be kind to all." Diagonal text superimposed near the top of video frame reads, “I don’t think that flag should be aloud in schools.”

Content warning: F-bomb and middle fingers:

Newberg School Counselors Flipping the Bird to Parentsyoutu.be

The caption to the right of the video — from the account "crazybulldogs333" — reads as follows: "Our last video got taken down Let's see how long this one will last." Hashtags include "#schoolcounselorsoftiktok," "#dontbeanass," "#equality," "#blacklivesmatter," and "#loveislove."

What else has been reported?

According to the Newberg Graphic, numerous outlets have identified the pair as Mountain View Middle School guidance counselors Annie Bynum and Erin Dobias. The school district has not named the employees responsible for the video, however.

The Newberg School Board last year banned Black Lives Matter and Pride symbols in classrooms — a controversial decision that was later amended to forbid all political symbols in schools, the Graphic said.

What did the school district have to say?

Newberg Public Schools posted a March 14 Facebook message saying the previous week officials were made aware of the "highly offensive video made by two employees. As we stated last week, the employees were placed on administrative leave and the district immediately launched an investigation using a third-party investigator." The message added that the outcome of the probe can't be publicly disclosed.

"Language, gestures, and tone such as what was on display in the video are unprofessional and highly offensive," the message added. "Regardless of personal views, our expectation is for our employees to maintain respectful and professional communication at all times while representing the district and our community. The use of school property, even if outside of school hours, should not be used for personal expression of the type seen in the video."

What was the reaction?

Several commenters took to the "Save Our Schools Newberg" Facebook page and weighed in on the controversy. It appears most weren't happy with the video.

"The vulgarity, the obscenity, the crass, demeaning, degrading message of this 'music' is not something I’d expect professional counselors to parrot," one commenter wrote. "What kind of example is this for children? Is this really the best that public education has to offer?"

Another commenter asked, "As counselors, shouldn't they be striving to set an example to young, impressionable students? Instead, they create garbage like this on tax payer property to display publicly. This is a prime example of why I pulled my kids from NPS. I will not allow people like this to have any influence over my kids."

Not everyone saw things the same way, however. In fact, one commenter argued the following: "I work with these counselors; they are dedicated, compassionate, fun, and engaged in everything that is happening on a daily basis here at MVMS. The TikTok you’re all commenting about was made in response to a viewer who slammed them on the use of the [banner] you see in the background. This was NOT intended against our school board, our students, or our parents AT ALL. They used the middle finger and/or the F word ... lapse in judgment? Sure, but f*** really is just a word. They didn’t GD anyone, nor would they ever. Please give them grace on this ... let’s focus on the good things they’ve done and scroll past all the comments questioning their integrity. I assure you they are very good humans."

Anything else?

Newberg Public Schools made national headlines last September after an employee wore blackface to work. The culprit reportedly was a Mabel Rush Elementary School special education assistant who dressed as Civil Rights icon Rosa Parks and used iodine as a face darkener to protest a statewide vaccine mandate.

Twitter temporarily suspends conservative Matt Walsh for tweets about gender



Twitter has slapped conservative commentator Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire with a 12-hour suspension over tweets he posted that apparently ran afoul of radical leftist gender dogma.

The Daily Wire reported that the clock for the 12-hour penalty will only begin once Walsh deletes the tweets that the social media platform has already censored.

"The greatest female Jeopardy champion of all time is a man. The top female college swimmer is a man. The first female four star admiral in the Public Health Service is a man. Men have dominated female high school track and the female MMA circuit. The patriarchy wins in the end," Walsh tweeted, according to the outlet.

"I am not referring to an individual person as if she is two people. Everyone else can run around sounding like maniacs if they want but I will not be participating. No thank you," he wrote in another tweet, which the Daily Wire said has also been censored.

Walsh, the author of a children's book that takes aim at radical gender ideology, mentioned Twitter's action against him during an appearance on the Fox News program "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

" ... I just got suspended on Twitter because I pointed out that biological males are men," Walsh noted while on the show.

— Daily Wire (@Daily Wire) 1641606490

His tweet was apparently referencing multiple transgender individuals who have captured significant public attention.

Amy Schneider, a biological male who identifies as a female, is being hailed as the first female "Jeopardy!" contestant ever to surpass $1 million in winnings on the show.

Transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, who is also a biological male, has been making waves while winning races against women. In a 1650 free last month, Thomas won by more than 38 seconds, according to Penn Athletics.

And a press release last year described U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine as the "first-ever female four-star admiral" of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. But like the other aforementioned individuals, Levine is a biological man.

HS football player — suspended for game allegedly for saying there are 'only two genders' when he was off campus — is suing school district



A New Hampshire high school football player who was suspended for a game allegedly for saying there are "only two genders" is suing his school district, the Portsmouth Herald reported.

What are the details?

The Exeter High School freshman and his mother filed the Nov. 4 suit in Rockingham Superior Court against New Hampshire School Administrative Unit 16 through attorney Ian Huyett of Cornerstone Action, a nonprofit Christian advocacy organization, the paper said.

The lawsuit says the student's September suspension violated his constitutional free speech rights as well as the state's bill of rights since he voiced his Catholic belief that there are only male and female genders, the Herald said.

According to the lawsuit, the student was speaking with two friends on a bus after school about using Spanish third-person pronouns to refer to themselves when a female student overheard the chat and interjected that there are "more than two genders," the paper said.

The student filing the suit responded that there are "only two genders" — and later actually got a text from the student who confronted him, the Herald said, citing the suit.

"[The student] pressed [the student now suing the school] on the topic of gender, demanding, 'Give me one valid reason why there's only two genders,'" the lawsuit adds, according to the Herald. "The two then had a contentious exchange of texts on the issue."

Texts allegedly turned over to administration

The lawsuit states that those texts were turned over to the school's administration and that Assistant Principal Marcy Dovholuk and Bill Ball — athletic director and varsity football coach — pulled the student filing the suit out of class, the paper said.

"Dovholuk and Ball stated that the texts showed that [the student now suing the school] was 'not respecting pronouns' and that he needed to 'respect how people identify,'" the lawsuit states, according to the Herald.

The paper said Ball then allegedly said he was suspended from playing football for a week, which was later reduced to one game after the student's mother told Ball her son did nothing wrong, the suit says. He also was punished for using "inappropriate language" in his texts such as "bozo" and "stfu" (i.e., "shut the [expletive] up"), the Herald said.

Gender Nonconforming Students policy

Besides seeking nominal damages, the lawsuit also takes issue with the school district's policy regarding gender-nonconforming students, the paper said.

The lawsuit states that the policy penalizes students who, due to their religious beliefs, don't address non-binary students with their chosen gender-identity pronouns, the Herald added.

"[The student] does not deny that he violated the Gender Nonconforming Students policy," the lawsuit states, according to the paper. "He in fact denied, and will continue to deny, that any person can belong to a gender other than that of 'male' or 'female.' … [The student] will never refer to any individual person using plural pronouns such as 'they,' using contrived pronouns such as 'ze,' or with any similar terminology that reflects values which [the student] does not share."

The Herald reported that, according to the policy, a "student has the right to be addressed by a name and pronoun that corresponds to the student's gender identity" and that "the intentional or persistent refusal to respect a student's gender identity … is a violation of this policy."

The lawsuit adds that the high school administration did not have the authority to punish the student in question because the content of the student's text messages were the result of an off-campus conversation initiated by another student, the paper said.

SAU 16 Superintendent David Ryan told the Herald that district officials "are in the process of reviewing this complaint with legal counsel and will be able to share a statement once we have completed that review."

Anything else?

In June, Exeter High School marked the hands of prom attendees according to their COVID-19 vaccination status, which upset a number of parents and students — as well as a state lawmaker — but was defended by Principal Michael Monahan.
