The brother of Republican megadonor Harlan Crow must face trial over allegations of financing a 100-person sex trafficking ring, a judge in Texas has ruled - paving the way for a bombshell court case involving one of Texas' richest families. Trammell Crow, a 72-year-old property magnate and environmental philanthropist, is accused by two women of providing 'essential financial assistance' for the network. The women, Julia Hubbard and Kayla Goedinghaus, claim that from 2010 onwards they were drugged by a group of doctors involved in the scheme, and then forced to perform sex acts. They claim the ringleader of the group...

For those who like their turkey on the table and on the tube, Mystery Science Theater 3000 has your Thanksgiving viewing figured out. The series all about riffing on cheesy movies will launch its first “Mega Turkey Day Marathon Telethon,” this year, and the event doubles as a booster for a crowdfunding effort—something it’s had great success with in the past—for MST3K season 14.

For 2023, there will be...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee abruptly adjourned a meeting on Thursday without holding an expected vote on subpoenas for two conservatives who have helped arrange luxury travel and other benefits for Supreme Court justices. The panel’s Democratic chairman, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, gaveled out after Republicans on the committee made clear they would call for subpoena votes on a raft of Democratic officials and others, a protest of the planned subpoenas for Republican megadonor Harlan Crow and conservative activist Leonard Leo. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the panel, warned majority Democrats that...

Tennessee legislator Justin Jones, a pro-gun control activist, tweeted: "We have an obligation to condemn Jason Aldean's heinous song calling for racist violence. What a shameful vision of gun extremism and vigilantism." But fans of Aldean rallied to his defence. One comment on the YouTube video accused the media of celebrating rap songs glorifying violence, "but a video by a country singer about self defense and neighbors looking out for each other is banned".

Sheryl Crow joined the conversation about Jason Aldean’s controversial new song, “Try That in a Small Town,” saying he should know better. Aldean, 46, has been accused of promoting violence with his latest song, which includes the inflammatory lyrics: “Got a gun that my granddad gave me / They say one day they’re gonna round up / Well, that ^%^% might fly in the city, good luck / Try that in a small town.” As a small-town girl herself, Missouri native Crow, 61, called out the country singer for putting out false impressions.

"Happiness my boy, is not to be found in borrowed finery" I love this episode of Fractured Fairy Tales because "The Crow" trying to become a peacock kind of mirrors the Transgender movement. Think about it. The Crow is trying to be something he's not. His friend who is a Crow asks him how he will become a Peacock and Crow says "it's the tail man, the tail" Crow thinks it's the tail that makes a Peacock a Peacock. The Peacocks are laughing at him and sell him a feather duster which he buys and puts on. Then the Crow...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has remained tight-lipped after Special Counsel John Durham’s report showed glaring missteps by the Department of Justice and FBI when it launched the Trump-Russia investigation. Pelosi’s office did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Fox News Digital this past week with regard to her response to Durham’s report that found "the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law" during the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Pelosi’s office also declined to respond to the question of whether she would walk back any of her past...

Singers Sheryl Crow and Amy Grant teamed up to lobby Tennessee lawmakers for more gun control on Tuesday. NewsChannel5 reported Crow saying, “We’re just here to give voice what a lot of, not only artists, musical artists, but also moms, dads, [want].” She added, “We’re Nashvillians, we’re also moms.” Grant said, “Nashville is in a unique position to do this work.” Rolling Stone reported that Crow and Grant are joined by Kacey Musgraves and Jason Isbell. The four artists are part of a new gun control group called Voices for a Safer Tennessee.

The report delves into multiple instances over the years where the conservative justice and his wife, Ginni, were treated to lavish vacations, yacht cruises, and flights on a private jet, all on the dime of billionaire real estate developer [and Republican megadonor] Harlan Crow.

In the Northeast woodlands the most feared and hated nation was the Iroquois — especially the Mohawk and Seneca. The Algonquian speaking nations and Iroquoian speaking Huron were particular enemies of the Iroquois. In the 1640s, the Iroquois unleashed a virtual genocide on the other Nations of the region, one that was not quickly forgotten. The Ojibwa defeated a number of the Iroquois incursions and ran the Sioux out of their forested homeland onto the plains. The Ojibwa (Chippewa and associated bands) occupied more land than any other tribe ever has from Manitoba to Indiana and took over smaller tribes...

With the support of a fandom nearly 35 years in the making, the quirky comedy show "Mystery Science Theater 3000" launched a new season this year of lampooned movies on its own streaming service. The Gizmoplex, as the platform is called, may help ensure the future of the show — in which a janitor, trapped on a satellite orbiting Earth, is forced to watch "bad" movies with his wisecracking robot friends. Joel Hodgson, a Wisconsin native and creator of MST3K, recently appeared on Wisconsin Public Radio’s "The Morning Show" to discuss how the show has endured — and how local...

Singer Sheryl Crow reacted to the U.S. Supreme Court overruling Roe v. Wade on Friday, proclaiming, “I do not recognize my country.” “Don’t know what to even say. I do not recognize my country,” Crow said in an Instagram post. “We fight to hang on to our military grade weapons. We battle over the smallest of steps toward protecting our families from being shot in grocery stores or at concerts. We suggest arming our teachers rather than facing down the political power of the NRA,” the singer continued. “And now, we take away the right of a woman to have...
