Sacha Baron Cohen paid disgraced actor OJ Simpson £15,000 to appear in a prank for the comedian’s next film, according to a source close to the production. A source told The Mail on Sunday that Baron Cohen wore a curly dark wig and black, thick-rimmed glasses to meet Simpson in a Las Vegas hotel room. The source said: ‘OJ would not even get in the hotel room until he was paid a sackload of cash. There was no way Sacha could have got OJ into the room without paying money.’ Simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole...

The name is a big plus. The number of hispanics in Nevada is a big negative. By not running for the senate where a loss would be political suicide he's running for a statewide office where even the Democrats prefer adults. A good set up for the future. Can Nevada be saved? Only if we keep the Senate seat with either Tark or Heller. I would leave Heller in Trumps hands.

"Yes. The news is out that the government has filed to dismiss the charges against the remaining defendants and our two sons who still have charges pending against them will be truly free men. You may also have read that the government has filed a Motion for the Judge to reconsider the case against Cliven, Ammon, Ryan and Ryan Payne. The government still wants another bite of the apple. I don't know what the judge will do--she's the only one who knows that--but it's clear that the government wants another swing at my family. God granted His blessing and protection...

The Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA), a political fundraising group, touts the AGs as “the first line of defense” against Trump’s agenda. The “sheer volume” of Democratic lawsuits is “staggering,” said Scott Will, executive director of the Republican Attorneys General Association. Throughout 2017, Democratic attorneys generals filed 35 multi-state lawsuits against the Trump administration....By contrast, Republican attorneys general brought 46 multistate legal challenges during ALL of former President Barack Obama’s two terms. Attorney general races are playing out in 32 states in 2018, with 14 seats held by Democrats and 18 by Republicans. Rankin said DAGA is focused chiefly on...

(In Case You Missed It, Links To The Latest Developments) With the new developments coming out late Friday in the pre-trial phase for the FBI agent accused of lying about the shots he fired moments before LaVoy Finicum died, you may missed it all. The 32-page document is a federal government response to a move by Agent W. Joseph Astarita to have the charges against him dismissed. We learned that the FBI had the Oregon State Police SWAT team not wear their body cams as is standard procedure and that the FBI did not want Oregon shooting investigators to record...

Detective Bryan Yant was the face of incompetence at the Metropolitan Police Department: a poster child for wrongful shooting deaths and million-dollar payouts, a driving force behind sweeping reforms to the agency’s deadly force policies. In other cities, an officer who kills an unarmed man under suspicious circumstances and is accused of lying to cover his tracks might be prosecuted. In Las Vegas, Yant kept his job. And he’s taken on a role that will make him more influential at Metro.

The second suspect in the Las Vegas Massacre has been charged. Douglas Haig said in an interview today he had met with Stephen Paddock three times, but in his first interview he said he had nothing to do with him at all. He has changed his tune. Haig is clearly afraid, saying he knew when the Las Vegas police served their warrant they wanted to find some type of link between him and Paddock. I am not accusing Haig, but he did have a connection to Paddock. He sold ammunition to him and met him three different times – one...

Prosecutors say witness testimony, audio and video evidence, plus bullet trajectory analysis yielded one conclusion: FBI agent W. Joseph Astarita lied about firing two shots at the truck of refuge occupation spokesman Robert "LaVoy" Finicum in 2016 after he swerved into a snowbank. The information is detailed in a 32 page government response to Astarita's motion to dismiss the federal indictment against him. He's pleaded not guilty to three counts of obstruction of making false statements and two counts of obstruction of justice. Astarita's lawyer claimed the indictment was based on "junk science". The government response also reveals that Oregon...

Elizondo said. "You DOD, you CIA, you DHS, have the responsibility of protecting us, how did this happen? And yet, here we have the same scenario but there are no flags or numbers on the tail. In fact, there may not even be a tail on some of these things, and yet it's crickets. Nobody wants to have that conversation." ... "The communications in the missile defense installation was shut down. It didn't happen once. It happened more than once," former Senator Harry Reid said. "We have things in ships at sea, things in the water. What is that?"  Reid says he was...

Lifelong Southern Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, recently cleared of federal charges and freed from jail after nearly two years, has turned his sights on state and county government. In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Clark County District Court, Bundy claimed that former resident Barack Obama’s late 2016 establishment of Gold Butte National Monument, which occurred while the rancher was in federal custody, was “as illegal as it is unlawful” and would preclude him from continuing to function on his land and destroy his livelihood. ... “Recognizing that the land is not owned by the United States of America, (Bundy) has...

Federal prosecutors said they needed more time to prepared for a "calendar call" pre-trial hearing scheduled for next Thursday February 8th for the four men set to go on trial February 26th in connection with the Bunkerville Standoff. US District Judge Gloria Navarro so far has indicated that with the massive release of evidence in the third trial, she thinks that Dave Bundy, Mel Bundy, Joe O'Shaughnessy and Jason Woods can get a fair trial. There are motions on the table to dismiss the charges and remove the prosecutors in the case (Steven Myhre, Daniel Scheiss and Nadia Ahmed) because...

The family of Oregon occupation spokesman Robert "LaVoy" Finicum filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the United States, the FBI, Oregon State Police, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Oregon's governor and others on the second anniversary of his death. The complaint claims Finicum was shot "assassination style" by "one or more militarized officers of the Oregon State Police and/or FBI" as he was trying to drive "across the county border" to seek the protection of Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer on Jan. 26, 2016. The suit likened it to what happened to a North Korean soldier who was shot...

Dozens of new photos were just released from the Vegas shooting investigation which provide a chilling look inside the room and vehicle of Stephen Paddock. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department finally released a substantial amount of information this week in the form of 28 crime scene photographs.

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards told white women to “do better” at the Women’s March event in Las Vegas, Nevada Saturday. She was cheered by the crowd and went on to praise women running for office. "All across the country, the Women's March inspired doctors and teachers and mothers to become activists and organizers and, yes, candidates for office," she said. "And from Virginia to Alabama and to last week in Wisconsin, women have beaten the odds to elect our own to office. Women of color, transgender women, rural and urban women." ... Her remarks are likely a reference to...
