Spawn of Iran’s ruling elite living large in US — and fed-up Iranian-Americans want them deported

The pampered offspring of Iran’s ruling elite are living the American Dream as the country’s brutal regime kills protesters by the thousands — and fed-up Iranians in California and across the US want them out.

Two explosive online petitions have been gaining steam as they call on the US government to immediately deport Eissa Hashemi and Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani — the children of current and onetime prominent Iranian government figures enjoying the comforts of the “Great Satan’’ as opposed to the oppressive streets of Tehran.

Spiky-haired lesbian judge who owns rainbow gun slammed over outrageous courtroom remark to female defendant

A lesbian judge was condemned after telling a female defendant who’d suffered a pregnancy scare to buy a vibrator because it would cause her ‘less trouble’, former staffers said.

Bettors and players fixed dozens of NCAA basketball games, prosecutors say

Sports bettors worked with dozens of players across NCAA men’s basketball to rig the outcome of at least 29 games, federal prosecutors alleged in an indictment unsealed Thursday.

The athletes played for schools across the country, prosecutors claim, including Tulane, St. Louis University, DePaul, Fordham and others.

Among the defendants named by prosecutors are Shane Hennen and Marves Fairley, who were previously charged in a case involving an NBA coach and players. Prosecutors say Hennen and Fairley were at the head of a gambling ring that recruited college basketball players around the country to manipulate their performances in games that Fairley and Hennen bet on.

Mark Carney’s minister’s tepid, late-night response was anything but ‘elbows up’

It reads like the kind of thing that, just a few years ago, would have been unbelievable. But on Elon Musk’s social platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the AI chatbot Grok built into the site is being used to pump out deepfake non-consensual intimate images and even child sexual abuse material (CSAM). In response to international outcry, Musk limited Grok’s ability to create sexualized deepfakes — including sexualized deepfakes of children — to paid subscribers. In other words, the world’s richest man is quite literally profiting off of the generation of CSAM and other non-consensual intimate images — including one of the mothers of his own children.

It took the Canadian government over a week to release a statement on the issue. AI and Digital Innovation Minister Evan Solomon said Canada was going to criminalize sexualized deepfakes, making no mention of Musk, Grok or X.
