The most recent obsession from the media claiming that I am a drag Queen or “performed” as a drag Queen is categorically false.
The media continues to make outrageous claims about my life while I am working to deliver results.

‘You won’t keep us out’: Car drove into barricade outside Sam Bankman-Fried’s house
A car rammed into a metal barricade outside the California home where Sam Bankman-Fried is serving out his house arrest in an intentional and malicious crash, his lawyers said Thursday.
Three men hopped out of the car and told a security guard looking after the Palo Alto property, “You won’t be able to keep us out,” Bankman-Fried’s attorneys said in a Manhattan federal court filing.
The trio, who haven’t been identified, got back into the car after making the threat and drove off.

Hillary Has Jewish Roots
In New York, where one of every eight voters is Jewish, it certainly won't hurt that First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton can note the Jewish branch on her family tree.
Mrs. Clinton, who is Methodist, "has very fond childhood memories" of the second husband of her grandmother, Max Rosenberg, a Russian-born Jew, said Howard Wolfson, a spokesman for the first lady's Senate exploratory committee.
Wolfson said Thursday that he doesn't "expect it will have an electoral impact, and we don't see it in that context."
Mrs. Clinton's maternal grandmother, Della, married Rosenberg in 1933, seven years after she and Mrs. Clinton's grandfather, Edwin Howell, divorced, according to a weekly Jewish newspaper, The Forward.
They had filed a petition for Max to adopt Della's children, including Mrs. Clinton's mother, Dorothy, but the attempt failed. Max Rosenberg died in Los Angeles in 1984.
Mrs. Clinton angered potential Jewish voters last year by voicing support for a Palestinian state, but has recently told Jewish leaders she considers Jerusalem "the eternal and indivisible capital" of Israel.
She has also said she favors moving the U.S. Embassy for Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The United States has never recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Penn Biden Center where classified papers were found is a ‘dark-money nightmare’
The Ivy League think tank where lawyers found classified materials linked to the Obama White House is a patronage mill for the Biden administration, raising suspicions among critics that its establishment attracted tens of millions in donations from anonymous Chinese donors.
The Department of Justice is probing how “a small number” of classified documents from President Biden’s years as vice president ended up at the Washington, DC, think tank that bears his name, the White House confirmed Monday. A second batch of papers was found at an additional location, it was reported Wednesday.
The University of Pennsylvania received more than $30 million from Chinese donors shortly after the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, which functioned as an office for Joe Biden before he was elected president, was announced in 2017, according to public records.
“The Penn Biden Center is a dark-money, revolving-door nightmare where foreign competitors like China donated millions of dollars to the university so that they could have access to future high-ranking officials,” said Tom Anderson, director of the Government Integrity Project at the Virginia-based National Legal and Policy Center.
The University of Pennsylvania raked in a total of $54.6 million from 2014 through June 2019 in donations from China, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016, according to public records.
Most of the anonymous donations came after the university officially announced in February 2017 that it would create the academic center named for Biden, whose term as vice president under Barack Obama had just ended. In addition to leading the think tank, Biden was named a professor at the school.
The Ivy League institution received $15.8 million in anonymous Chinese gifts in 2017 and one $14.5 million donation in May 2018, three months after the center opened, records show.
“The Penn Biden Center has never solicited or received any gifts from any Chinese or other foreign entity,” said a spokesman for the University of Pennsylvania. “In fact, the University has never solicited any gifts for the Center. Since its inception in 2017 there have been three unsolicited gifts (from two donors) which combined total $1,100. Both donors are Americans. One hundred percent of the budget for the Penn Biden Center comes from university funds.”
The center does not list any of its fellows or administrators on its website, and does not have separate financial filings. It operates under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania with a mission of engaging “fellow citizens in shaping this world, while ensuring the gains of global engagement are widely shared,” according to its website.
Michael Carpenter, the former managing director of the Penn Biden Center, was named the US ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in 2021.

Biden think tank where secret docs were stashed accused of giving prez, his allies ‘no show’ jobs
A conservative group alleges in a new IRS whistleblower complaint that the University of Pennsylvania’s Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement flouted non-profit rules — in part by giving the future president and his allies “no show” jobs, The Post has learned.
The center burst into the national spotlight Monday with the revelation that classified documents dating from President Biden’s vice presidency were found at its Washington office, ultimately leading to the appointment of special counsel Robert Hur to determine whether Biden or others in his orbit illegally mishandled records.
The America First Legal Foundation, led by former Trump White House official Stephen Miller, submitted an IRS Form 13909 complaint asking tax authorities to look into whether the center illicitly paid Biden and others for no work, among other possible violations.
“As fiscal sponsor, the University of Pennsylvania (‘Penn’) was obligated to conduct appropriate oversight of the Penn Biden Center’s activities,” the filing says. “This obligation included … preventing prohibited private benefits (e.g. ‘no show’ jobs), prohibited campaign intervention activities, unlawful political lobbying, and illegal influence peddling.”
Biden earned nearly $1 million from the University of Pennsylvania from 2017 to 2019, despite just nine reported public engagements with students, some of which appeared to be unrelated to his appointment as “Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor” — such as a November 2017 visit to promote his own book “Promise Me, Dad.”
In addition to employing Biden, current Secretary of State Antony Blinken worked as the center’s managing director in 2018 and top White House adviser Steve Ricchetti served as managing director in 2019.
After Biden took office as president, he tapped Penn’s longtime president, Amy Gutmann, to be the US ambassador to Germany.
“The evidence is that then-former Vice President Biden was paid nearly a million dollars for appearing on campus six times. Other Obama Administration officials, including the current Secretary of State, were also paid by the Penn Biden Center without providing equivalent services for Penn’s students,” the IRS complaint says.
“Penn’s President, Amy Gutmann, allegedly created the Penn Biden Center to benefit Vice President Biden, and, according to emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop, apparently to benefit his family members as well. In exchange, she was nominated to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Germany.”
“Finally,” the complaint concludes, “the evidence is that the creation of the Penn Biden Center immediately led to a massive influx of donations from foreign sources to Penn, including but not limited to tens of millions of dollars from alleged instrumentalities of the Chinese Communist Party. The quid pro quo for these donations has not been disclosed.”
The IRS says that it doesn’t offer updates to complaining parties due to “tax return confidentiality” and it’s unclear what the tax bureau might ultimately do if it determines that violations occurred.
The University of Pennsylvania did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Miller’s group has had prior success with targeted tips about alleged Biden administration misconduct. For example, in October, the Office of Special Counsel determined that White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain violated the Hatch Act with a political retweet from his official account, for which Klain received a warning.
Biden has claimed in public remarks that he was a “full professor” at the Philadelphia university after he left office as vice president, but his critics have noted the irony of him collecting such a large paycheck for so few visits while bemoaning the effects of crippling student debt.
The president’s opponents also note that the Ivy League school received $54.6 million in donations from China from 2014 through June 2019, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016, according to public records.
The influx in Chinese cash to the school came as first son Hunter Biden and first brother James Biden were seeking business from Chinese-government-linked companies — allegedly with Joe Biden’s blessing.
While Biden was still vice president, Hunter Biden co-founded an investment firm called BHR Partners within weeks of joining his dad aboard Air Force Two on an official trip to Beijing, according to the Wall Street Journal.
On that trip, Hunter introduced his father to incoming BHR CEO Jonathan Li in a hotel lobby and Joe Biden later wrote college recommendation letters for Li’s children. Online business records indicate that Hunter Biden still co-owns a 10% stake in BHR.
BHR Partners says it manages $2.1 billion in assets and has taken a prominent role in Chinese state-backed companies acquiring investments overseas. The company’s website says, “We work with China’s industrial leaders, state-owned enterprises, multinational corporations, as well as with start-up visionaries in their international mergers and acquisitions, domestic restructurings and pre-IPO financings.”
BHR has “unique mixed ownership,” the company says, and “combines the resources and platforms of China’s largest financial institutions (including Bank of China, China Development Bank Capital, Harvest Fund, Postal Savings Bank of China, China Life and the National Council of Social Security Fund) and the networks and know-how of our U.S.-based investment fund and advisory firm shareholders.”
In 2016, BHR Partners facilitated a deal in which a Chinese firm bought a Congolese cobalt mine from American and Canadian companies. The transaction gained significant attention in 2021 when it was spotlighted by the New York Times. Cobalt is an important material for making electric vehicle batteries.
Joe Biden allegedly was involved with a second Chinese venture as well. Hunter and first brother Jim Biden earned $4.8 million from CEFC China Energy in 2017 and 2018, according to the Washington Post’s review of Hunter Biden laptop documents.
Former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski says he met with Joe Biden in May 2017 to discuss the CEFC deal and a May 2017 email from another associate, James Gilliar, says the “big guy” was due a 10% cut. Bobulinski and Gilliar have identified Joe Biden as the “big guy.”

Trump Resort to Host Pro-QAnon Speaking Tour
PASS THE ADRENOCHROME
The ReAwaken America tour is a conspiracy-laden road show hosted by Michael Flynn and Clay Clark. And it’s coming to the Trump Doral.
A resort owned by Donald Trump is set to host a conference this spring headlined by QAnon promoters and other conspiracy theorists, marking a new connection between the ex-president and his party’s far-right fringe.
In May, the ReAwaken America tour—a right-wing road tour that has held large events in more than a dozen states—will hold a weekend conference at the Trump Doral hotel in Miami. While it’s not clear yet who will be on the speaker’s list, previous iterations of the tour have featured conservative celebrities ranting about Satanic sexual worship and myriad other conspiracy theories.
Support for Trump has always been at the center of the tour, which is led by former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and right-wing media personality Clay Clark. Launched in the aftermath of Trump’s 2020 defeat, the tour features a blend of Trumpworld figures like Flynn, Trump loyalist Kash Patel, Eric Trump, and hardcore conspiracy theorists pushing QAnon and various shades of COVID-19 denial.

Part 4: What's Jail Like for Two Accused Child Rapists?
Life Behind Bars
Since they're being prosecuted as co-defendants, the adoptive fathers are housed separately while in pre-trial detainment.
An out-of-county transfer placed Zachary "Zack" Jacoby Zulock in Barrow County Detention Center's "maximum" security unit "due to the nature of the charges." Zachary appears to be experiencing what's colloquially called "jail justice," part of an honor code amongst inmates and a brand of justice directed at offenders who would harm children in any way: child murderers, rapists, and molesters, a.k.a. "ChoMos." In terms of the lock-up's pecking order, they're the lowest rung on the hierarchical ladder.
Meanwhile, the most William Dale Zulock Jr. is contending with is his dietary restrictions in Walton County Jail.
Zachary told his relative, who exclusively shared their series of taped jailhouse calls from the fall of 2022 with Townhall, he's fearful that a fellow cellmate laced his drink. "Umm, I think someone put something in my drink," Zachary suspected in an October phone call, elucidating: "There was a comment made to me last night. Someone tried to give me something, and when I didn't, the way [the inmate] said it, like, 'You want another one?' And I was like, 'Another one? I never had another one before.'"
"It made my…arm and everything go numb," Zachary said. "I couldn't move my hands. My fingers were stuck." After experiencing "stroke-like symptoms," he implored the relative to get his lawyer to free him: "I can't have something like this happen again."
"[Haldi] needs to get me out," Zachary texted the family member through JailATM. The family member told Zachary the lawyer said his dilemma won't make any difference in being bonded out and that the judge would "laugh him" out of the courtroom.
A month later, Zachary still begged for his defense attorney John E. Haldi to "work a deal to get me out on some kind of bond."
"tell DA that I want an ankle monitor, and if required, a low bond," Zachary demanded in a message to the relative. "[H]aldi needs to try everything possible to get us out. i dont know if he can try to get William out too with this information, or just me."
"its not my fault that i got drugged," Zachary messaged his family member. "i still need to go to a hospital for stroke evaluation."
He had visited a nurse in the jail's medical wing, where staff took bloodwork, gave Zachary a Benadryl, and placed him on anti-inflammatory medication for several days. Zachary believes he was slipped his cellmate's prescription drug "for nightmares."
After alerting the jail staff of his ordeal, Zachary said he was threatened twice by the cellmate.
"i was just threatened again," Zachary said, "to physically beat me or have someone do it for him."
"I mean, I guess the only thing I can ask for is if you can just pray at least, regardless," Zachary asked of the family member.
At another point in one of the telephone exchanges, Zachary said he bought a Bible from the jail's bookstore:
In the meantime, William—like other jailbirds—has a tablet to text on with a digital library of books to choose from. One time the relative checked in with William, he was looking forward to an origami do-it-yourself book "to keep my mind off of things."
But it's not always a state of zen for William, who's also in maximum security and temporarily let out of the cell block for a four-hour recreation period in the "offenders rec," as it's dubbed. Gang members, drug dealers, and murderers bunk together in William's dormitory, "but they're not allowed in our rec because if they touch us, they get assault charges," he explained. (It just so happens that William is related to one of his cellmates by marriage.) "I'm one of the least troubled ones in here," William claimed. "They don't know how to talk normal. They like to yell," William said, when detainees were shouting in the background of the call.
William, who's lactose intolerant and cannot drink the milk at breakfast-time or any dairy products offered in the slammer, complained about the soy patties and bologna-and-cheese sandwiches for lunch, which he doesn't eat. "I don't even know a dog would eat these bologna sandwiches. That's how low-grade the meat is," fussed William, whose weight is down to 120 pounds.
"This place is a joke," William snickered, grumbling about the jailhouse's "decrepit" housing conditions.
"Pfft, yesterday was miserable," William said after seeing the indictment documents. "They called me up front again for fingerprints, and I saw the new charges that they're putting against—I'm assuming—both of us […]There's 17 charges."
>There's 17 charges
"The public statement mentioned there were [child porn] videos. I can imagine there was more than one video that will be a separate count. Do you think that's what they're doing?" the relative suggested. "I'm assuming so," William conceded, hesitantly.
William said he's "really worried" about his spouse's mental well-being. "I know Zack's a very emotional person, so I know he's probably locking up and shutting down and not talking." William requested from the relative: "Well, tell him I love him when you talk to him. I tell him goodnight and good morning, everytime, everyday. I haven't missed a single day that I tell him goodnight."
"All I can say is, umm, I don't want to say it, but brace yourself for the truth," a choked-up William weeped. "Okay? Just don't give up on us," he exhorted, breaking down in tears. Later on, signing off, William insisted: "If you talk to Zack, tell him I still love him."
The relative relayed William's message to Zachary. "Oh yeah," Zachary dismissed William's love note. "Did you figure out the Instagram thing?" asked Zachary, who wants his Instagram page taken down as rage-filled comments continue to flood his feed.
A week later, William still doted on Zachary. "Please tell him I love him and that he is my husband and I'll always worry about him," William texted the family member from the jail's tablet on inteleMESSAGE, an inmate-messaging application. "Have you talked to him recently? Try and ask him how his day is [and] what did he eat," William fretted. "Just try to keep him sane."
"Doing my best to keep my hope[s] up," William messaged.
William also divulged he voted in the 2022 midterm elections by mailing in an absentee ballot. "Oh, let [Zachary] know I got a letter in the mail for an absuntee baliot [sic]. I mailed it in so I can vote since I'm not convicted yet. See if he got one," he texted.
Zachary, who proudly posted an "I Secured My Vote" sticker after voting in battleground Georgia's critical 2022 midterm primaries, revealed on Facebook that he voted for President Joe Biden during the state's primaries in the 2020 presidential election. He later regretted casting his ballot for Biden and wished he backed far-left socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) instead.
Zachary was a fervent Black Lives Matter supporter during the 2020 violent Antifa-BLM riots, once adding an image of former President Barack Obama with a BLM frame as a temporary Facebook profile picture and making the Obama family as well as a BLM graphic—featuring the Pan-Africa flag, the Pride flag, the bisexual flag, and the trans flag—his Facebook cover photos.
What's Next?
Haldi, the Zulock couple's legal counsel, who waived the preliminary hearing to avoid the judge hearing any more jarring details about the case from the prosecution, has filed a special demurrer and motion to quash the 17-count indictment in November, claiming that the charges don't specify the manner in which the co-defendants allegedly committed the various child sex crimes.
Rather, the counts "simply state the statutory requisites and/or language." The offenses are alleged to have occurred within a 32-month window, the criminal defense lawyer noted, sometime between December 2019 and the July 2022 arrest date. Haldi argued that the prosecution ought to "reasonably narrow" the range of dates and requested an evidentiary hearing on this matter.
If an indictment is dismissed as a result of a successful demurrer, the state does have the ability to re-indict the case. "Very often," however, the dismissal will afford the defense another opportunity to convince the state of the weaknesses in its case in an effort to prevent a second indictment, which can lead to an ultimate dismissal of the charges, according to a Georgia trial lawyer.
Under current Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 17-7-53.1), if two indictments are dismissed as a result of a special demurrer, or any other legal motion, the state will then be barred from any further prosecution of the co-defendants, who then cannot be charged again.
DA Randy McGinley has since filed a motion to disqualify Haldi and moved to sever the Zulocks at trial, since they're jointly indicted as co-defendants. McGinley intends to call upon William and Zachary as witnesses in their separate trials, if severed.
At first, after agreeing to talk to authorities, Zachary initially blamed William for "starting" the child sexual abuse of the Zulock boys, according to court records. But, William pointed fingers back at Zachary during telephone discussions with the relative.
"There's a lot of stuff that went on that I don't know about…" William told the relative, when questioned about his and Zachary's taped confessions. "Yeah, 'cause, I mean, like I said, there was a lot of stuff going on that I had no idea about," he reiterated.
"With Zack?" the family member clarified. "Yeah," William replied.
"When they came to our house, I had no idea what was going on," William claimed.
William also denied knowing Lawless. "I've never even met him. I didn't even know the name until then!" he alleged.
The relative pressed William if he was ever aware of the 2011 child rape case naming Zachary. "2011, I don't know anything about any of that, because that was before me," said William, stressing he didn't start dating Zachary until August of 2013.
In addition, McGinley has requested that Judge Jeffrey L. Foster, the judge presiding over the Zulock case, sign off on orders granting limited immunity to William and Zachary to testify against each other at trial, requiring their respective testimonies, and stipulating that the then-severed defendants "shall not be excused from testifying on the basis of the privilege against self-incrimination." If the request is granted, and the Zulocks refuse to testify, the defendants shall be held in contempt of court.
"Hey, the DA is going to try and put us against each other!" William, reacting to McGinley's motions, messaged the relative:
