[MAIL] An upcoming documentary is set to expose the hidden underbelly of children's TV as former cast and crew make shocking claims about the 'toxic environment' at Nickelodeon - including accusations of child abuse and 'pedophiles on set.'
Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV promises to 'pull back the curtain on an empire, built by creator Dan Schneider, that had an undeniable grip on popular culture' in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Schneider, who was described as 'Nickelodeon's golden boy,' is said to have 'launched the careers of child actors who became major stars' including Miranda Cosgrove, Jamie Lynn Spears and Ariana Grande.
But there was a much more chilling tale behind the scenes.
Here, FEMAIL digs deeper into the claims as Investigation Discovery gets set to launch its four-part docuseries.

Yea but I liked their veterans in horror movies.
(Won't drink their coffee. Won't drink American coffee. Not so much the roast as the coffee machines need to be cleaned more often)

Trading on military backgrounds or associations is basically a derivative of stolen valor.

ActBlue raised $19 million in its first three years, from 2004 to 2007. In the 2005-2006 campaign, the site raised $17 million for 1500 Democratic candidates, with $15.5 million going to congressional campaigns. By August 2007, the site had raised $25.5 million.
In the 2018 midterms elections, ActBlue raised $1.6 billion for Democratic candidates. Conor Lamb, Beto O'Rourke, and Kyrsten Sinema have worked with ActBlue.

It's brilliant when you step back and look at it. Get conservatives to fund left wing policies by selling them right wing branded coffee. Wish I'd thought of it.

Their behavior started to become contrary to their messaging around the time they were going public.
A coincidence I'm sure.
Was it the NY Times interview, looking back, they sort of poo poo'd as perhaps not entirely sober and were ambushed woopsies so sorry. But never really retracted and leadership behavior continued to change. Perhaps a consulting firm was contracted, or even assigned?

#7 is right - hold on! Link doesn’t work in story but I saw this somewhere else this morning. There were like five donations to a Democrat via ActBlue (ActBlue is like WinRed - fundraising platform for most congresscritters). It did not show the company itself giving, it showed an employee giving. You have to list your employer when you give a donation, it’s the law. Anyway, out of 630 employees they managed to find 5 donations to a Democrat by unnamed BRCC employee(s) There is not a company in the US that has over 500 employees that doesn’t have someone who has given a small amount to a Dem over the years. For what it’s worth, there company is headquartered in Utah. I had a hard time finding all that many donations made by employees (presumably executives live near HQ) to any person or party. I did see that CEO Evan Hafer gave 500 bucks to Tulsi Gabbard. So that’s the closest link I can see to the claim BRCC gives to ActBlue. Preposterous….

Also, the Communist left will do this to all businesses that try to be conservative and support our values. As soon as it gets big enough they will plant a bogus story to demoralize people on our side. I try very hard not to buy from businesses that support Communist Democrats.
[ZERO] Former President Donald Trump has vowed to release individuals imprisoned over the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol if he wins the 2024 election in November.
President Trump made the comments in a statement on Truth Social on March 11, noting that it would be among one of his first acts upon taking office in the White House.
The Republican said shutting down the U.S.-Mexico border and increasing oil drilling as part of efforts to make America more energy independent would also be among his first actions as president.
"My first acts as your next President will be to Close the Border, DRILL, BABY, DRILL, and Free the January 6 Hostages being wrongfully imprisoned!" President Trump said.
President Trump said during a rally in Texas in 2022 that he would consider pardoning those convicted of their involvement in the Jan. 6 breach, noting that his administration would treat them "fairly."
"If it requires pardons, we will give them pardons, because they are being treated so unfairly," he said at the time.
Last year, President Trump told a town hall hosted by CNN at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire that he was inclined to pardon a "large portion" of those charged with crimes relating to the breach.
However, the Republican stressed he would not pardon all of those imprisoned, telling the audience that "a couple of them, probably they got out of control."
[GEO.TV] In a surprising incident, a passenger was taken into custody for carrying weird items, probably used in sorcery, at the Dubai International Airport.
According to the details, the passenger landed at the Dubai airport from an African country. On suspicion, the customs officials conducted a thorough search, uncovering a shocking collection packed inside a plastic box.
The officials of the Dubai Customs recovered a live snake, a monkey's hand, a dead bird and eggs wrapped in cotton from his language, according to a report published in Arabic daily Emarat Al Youm.
The authorities also seized spells, talismans, and various tools containing paper clippings and other things, all believed to be intended for use in sorcery activities.
The items were handed over to the Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities in Dubai for further examination.

[GEO.TV] In a weird occurrence in St John’s course at the Heritage Golf and Country Club in Victoria, Australia, a mob of kangaroos suddenly entered a gold course interrupting the play, CNN reported.
In a video of the incident, posted on X by Golfer Stephen Roche, the mob of kangaroos can be seen hopping along the course without a care in the world.
Roche explained in his post that the kangaroos were traversing the fourth hole. While Kangaroo sightings at the club were nothing new, the sheer number of them was very much a first, he added.
While Roche and his playing partner stood by to let the stream of "roos hop on by, he begged the Kangaroos to not stand on my golf ball”.
When asked whether there was damage to the greens Roche remarked, “surprisingly no”.
The kangaroos’ appearance gathered some fun and humorous reactions on social media.
One user wrote, “Must be members. Not a rake touched,” while another compared it to a scene from Jurassic Park or Jumanji, while another had more simple concerns.

ATLANTA (AP) — The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case on Wednesday dismissed some of the charges against former President Donald Trump, but many other counts in the indictment remain.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee wrote in an order that six of the counts in the indictment must be quashed, including three against Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee. But the order leaves intact other charges, and the judge wrote that prosecutors could seek a new indictment on the charges he dismissed.
The ruling is a blow for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, whose case has already been on shaky ground with an effort to have her removed from the prosecution over her romantic relationship with a colleague. It’s the first time charges in any of Trump’s four criminal cases have been dismissed, with the judge saying prosecutors failed to provide enough detail about the alleged crime.
The six charges in question have to do with soliciting elected officials to violate their oaths of office. That includes two charges related to the phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, on Jan. 2, 2021. "a fellow Rep" whose rabid Democrat Chief of Staff illegally recorded a call and turned it over to Willis.

Ok Judge, you've surely been following the news regarding Willis' trips to D.C. and other crooked shenanigans. You know it's all D.C. and Fulton County political bullshi*.
Don't half-ass it. Finish your foking job and throw this stuff out !
[Outdoor Life] For years, first responders and rescue teams cherished the TactiStaff's unparalleled versatility. Its exceptional utility and durability made it a staple for professionals, but civilians rarely had access.
Thanks to some recent legislative changes, we, the everyday people, can now legally get our hands on this military-grade tool.
With many arguing that civilians should not be allowed to carry such powerful military-grade equipment.
As discussions continue, owning a TactiStaff remains legal, but the future is uncertain. Many recommend seizing this chance to secure one before it's potentially restricted again.
After releasing to the public for the very first time, it's earning high praise from everyday Americans.

Peter Drucker said an organization can have only one mission. As soon as it has more than one it will fail at all of them. So, whatever management at Boeing thinks their job actually is, it ain't airplanes.

/\ Making money for the MIC is their business.
Much of the money made in the auto industry comes from auto finance, not auto fenders.

Moving their HQ to Chiraq was an obvious sop to Bath House Barry. I suspect their thinking was he would gut the military immediately and they wanted to be "supportive."
