Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene offered a new solution to deal with the mysterious drones flying over New Jersey. “I’ll shoot the drones down myself along with every other red blooded freedom loving American,” Greene said on Truth Social Tuesday. “I’m going to tell you right now that if they try to tell us all to stay inside, stay home, shelter in place ‘FOR OUR SAFETY’ from the drones, there is no way in hell I will comply with that absolute bulls–t,” she added. Though the Georgia lawmaker is a known conspiracy theorist, the drones spotted flying over New Jersey and other East Coast states have sparked fear and confusion from residents. In response, several government agencies, including the FBI and the DoD, released a statement Tuesday saying that the drones do not pose a risk to the public and “include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones.”

Elon Musk is close to opening his anti-woke preschool in Texas after authorities cleared the way for it to operate with 21 pupils, according to official documents. The Montessori school outside Bastrop, part of the Greater Austin metropolitan area, will be called Ad Astra, according to Bloomberg, citing documents filed with state authorities. Its website says it’s “currently open to all children ages 3 to 9,” while the official X page is currently displaying job listings. Bloomberg reported that the proposed schedule seemed “fairly typical.” It includes “thematic, STEM-based activities and projects” as well as outdoor play and nap time. “Ad Astra’s mission is to foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking in the next generation of problem solvers and builders,” reads the school’s website. Musk also has a school in Los Angeles, California that teaches an “Elon style curriculum,” according to Mirror U.S. He has railed against “regular schools” and curriculums in the past.

The culprit behind Jamie Foxx’s birthday dinner injury has been revealed, per TMZ. According to the site, a disagreement began when crew members from the Jack--- franchise pointed a laser image in the shape of a penis at Foxx’s table, as he dined with 50 guests to celebrate his big day, including his two daughters. Sources tell the site the prank may have been in retaliation for Foxx not accepting a drink or waving back at the 12 crew members, who’d tried to get his attention earlier in the night. Reportedly offended by the move because his teenage children were present, Foxx (with a few friends) went to address the matter with the Jack--- crew, who were dining in an area above Foxx’s table. The resulting confrontation led to one of the crew members throwing the glass, which hit him in the face, interrupting his birthday celebration with a trip to the hospital for stitches. None of the famous faces of Jack--- were present, TMZ reports, but the VIP room where they dined was rented by Dickhouse Productions, which is owned and operated by Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine, and Spike Jonze.

Below Deck Down Under star Jason Chambers, 52, has been diagnosed with melanoma, he revealed in a video Tuesday. “Look Australia, two out of three people suffer from melanoma. It’s a big thing,” he said. “I never used to wear sunscreen when I was on the boat. I used to put zinc on my nose, the reason being the chemicals.” Below Deck follows the lives of the crew on a superyacht. Chambers joined the spinoff show Below Deck Down Under when it premiered in 2022. The reality star said he’s currently waiting for more biopsy results from Bali, where he underwent additional testing under the advice of his doctors. “They weren’t happy with what the indications told them,” Chambers said. He added that now that there are more chemical-free sunscreen options, he’s sure to put it on. “So, make sure you throw on some sunscreen, get some shade and cover yourself up and enjoy your day out in the sun,” he advised.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was until recently staying with Dr. Mehmet Oz in the latter’s $36 million beachfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. Puck News reported that the two men—both controversial picks in Donald Trump’s incoming presidential administration—were bunking together until Kennedy was relegated to a nearby luxury hotel when the TV doctor’s kids came for a visit. Kennedy is set to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, while Oz was tapped to oversee the country’s Medicare and Medicaid programs. Based on Kennedy’s social media accounts, the two men took their cohabitation as a bonding opportunity. A since-deleted post from last week shows the pair working together to wrangle a copperhead snake into a glass jar. Kennedy, who will need to be confirmed by the Senate to assume his post, has headed from Florida to Washington, D.C. for his first round of meetings with Congress members. Already, he has faced opposition from the Senate. Kennedy had been pushing Trump to name his daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, as deputy director of the FBI, but pressure from senators, especially Republican Tom Cotton, convinced the president-elect to look elsewhere, according to The Washington Post.

The suspected Gilgo Beach killer has been charged in yet another slaying, bringing the total up to seven women, prosecutors said. Rex Heuermann, 61, was set to appear before a court in Riverhead at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday to be indicted on a murder charge in the death of Valerie Mack in November 2000, according to ABC News, citing law enforcement sources. Prosecutors said that, like the other alleged victims of Heuermann, Mack was involved in sex work. Her remains were discovered in Manorville and Gilgo Beach, Long Island, New York. Mack’s remains were found alongside those of Jessica Taylor in 2000 and 2003. Their remains were dismembered, mixed, and scattered along a road in Manorville and at Gilgo Beach. The architect is accused of a series of murders in the area from the early 1990s to 2011. Prosecutors named him a suspect in the latest death in June, based on evidence allegedly found on an electronic device seized from his home in Massapequa Park on Long Island. He pleaded not guilty to previous charges linked to the other six deaths.

A judge in Brazil has ruled that Adele’s 2015 song “Million Years Ago” must be pulled from global distribution—including on streaming platforms—amid an ongoing plagiarism lawsuit. A claim filed by Brazilian composer Toninho Geraes, 62, alleges that Adele copied his samba classic “Mulheres” (“Women”) and has asked for royalties, moral damages, and a songwriting credit on the track, the Independent reported. A judge issued an injunction against the Brazilian subsidies of Sony and Universal, Adele’s labels, banning them from distributing or reproducing the song. The injunction covers all global use and imposes an $8,000 fine for every “act of non-compliance.” The labels have the option to appeal the decision. Adele told the BBC in 2015 she was inspired to pen “Million Years Ago,” an acoustic tune accompanied only by guitar, after driving past Brockwell Park in south London near where she grew up. It appears on her third studio album, 25, has also been accused by fans of Ahmet Kaya of copying the Kurdish singer’s 1985 Turkish hit “Acilara Tutunmak” (“Clinging to Pain”).

Sex toys are a fun and spicy way to add more excitement to the bedroom. However, most are designed for solo pleasure—which is a lot less exciting.MysteryVibe solved this issue with its Tenuto 2 vibrator. Now, MysteryVibe has improved its design and effectiveness in the new Tenuto Mini.

The secret to the Tenuto Mini is the three robust motors that deliver powerful vibrations on key erogenous zones at the head or base of the penis. It’s made with a water-resistant and flexible silicone that fits most penis sizes, soft or hard. The vibrations stimulate the penis to increase blood flow and arousal for harder erections.

However, that’s not all this small-yet-mighty vibrator can do. The Tenuto Mini keeps men harder longer. Slide the vibrator down to the base of the penis to gently constrict blood flow, extending performance and pleasure. Plus, those powerful motors don’t forget the clit exists, stimulating it as well for mind-blowing pleasure.

Everything can be controlled via buttons on the vibrator itself or Bluetooth with the free companion app—opening up a whole new avenue of pleasure and play. With the app, you or your partner can explore and control 16 different vibrational intensity levels, fine-tuning the vibrator to both of your likings. Once you nailed it, save the vibration patterns for quick access for the next time. The only limitation is your imagination. Worried about privacy? MysteryVibe thought of that. The packaging is discreet and—as a bonus—the shipping is free.

A second grader at Abundant Life Christian School first alerted police about the school shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday, according to Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes. Speaking to reporters at a news conference Monday night, Barnes said, “Let that soak in for a minute… A second grade student called 911 at 10:57 a.m. to report a shooting at school.” A 15-year-old girl, who’s since been identified by authorities as Natalie Rupnow—preferred name, “Samantha”—is believed to have opened fire at the private Christian school Monday morning, killing a teacher and another classmate. “The shooting happened inside a classroom in a study hall of students from mixed grades,” Barnes noted. Police also found evidence that suggests the shooter died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Barnes added that police are so far not looking to charge the suspect’s parents, sharing, “The parents are fully cooperating, we have no reason to believe that they have committed a crime at this time.”

Judge Rules Against Trump’s Presidential Immunity in Hush Money Case
IT’S A NO

New York Judge Juan Merchan ruled Monday that President-elect Donald Trump’s hush money case should not be dismissed because of the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity. After Trump was found guilty in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records, his lawyers have pursued several avenues in hopes of tossing the case, including a formal motion to dismiss the case altogether now that he’s been elected president, which Merchan has yet to rule on. In his 41-page decision, Merchan honed in on Trump’s argument of presidential immunity and said that the evidence presented during the trial was related “entirely to unofficial conduct” and should therefore receive “no immunity protections.” Trump’s campaign spokesman Steve Cheung said in a statement that Merchan’s decision is a “direct violation of the Supreme Court’s decision on immunity, and other longstanding jurisprudence.” Trump’s lawyers are expected to appeal the decision, per CNN. Trump has yet to be sentenced, with prosecutors previously agreeing that the president-elect would not be sentenced while he is in office.
