The holdout juror spoke to a YouTuber. The tweet containing video excerpts is below the fold. Here's some of what he said.

The stuff in the beginning consists of defenses against the smears the left has brought against him. If you're not following that, or you just don't care, skip to the bolded material.

🚨HUGE BREAKING UPDATE - 🚨The holdout juror broke his silence by speaking with an INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST, Fugitive TV Podcast, this evening! 👏👏👏 HERE IS A FULL DETAILED WRITE-UP.

The holdout juror is NOT an immigrant. According to marriage and divorce records, he married a Haitian immigrant. She was illegal. He did not know this when he married her.

He did not show his face. He is keeping to himself since his name was doxxed on X. His life has been threatened, and people have stalked his house. NBC Boston did not give you the full story.

Michael, the juror, is now divorced. He filed for divorce first. The marriage was fraudulent because she was not a citizen. When he did this, everything hit the fan. She didn't want a divorce. His ex-wife filed a counterclaim a couple of months later. He was denied his divorce petition because she was not an American citizen.

The incident with the nephew - according to the juror, there is a lot of information that many do not know. For example, the nephew is 6-foot-2, and Michael is only 5-foot-7. This obviously does not give anyone the right to hit anyone. But I think it is safe to say that we do not know all of the facts of the matter. Michael stated the truth will come out.

None of this matters when it comes to what happened in the courtroom. He filled out his paperwork appropriately. He did not lie on his paperwork. He was asked if he had ever been arrested, and he checked the box "yes" and afterward had to describe what happened.

He even took the stand, and the prosecutor asked him questions. He was questioned about his past arrest. He was then selected. I would like to make it very clear that this is something that happens with all of the potential jurors present. Which means that the jurors who have already been interviewed could have said this at any point, but they chose to keep that information from the public.

Michael told Fugitive TV that from day one, eight of the jurors automatically wanted to go for not guilty.

The eight jurors were "activists," according to Michael. He said every day they voted, and the eight who were convinced that she was not guilty were doing their best to convince the other four that she was not guilty.

At the very end, it was him and another juror. She was also voting guilty. At the last minute, she caved. He said he knew she was guilty based on the EVIDENCE.

He was open about what he believed and what he said. He said the other jurors are telling half-truths or just outright lies.

He's never been convicted of a crime. His past should not matter. He said that the entire time, his ex-wife was just trying to get status and citizenship to live in the U.S.

Michael said that the report on him that went viral, where they said they spoke with his family members, did not report exactly what was actually said. He said that the family members they spoke to were likely family members of his ex-wife, and he does not even speak with them. Therefore, they cannot know what actually happened in the jury room. Who DID NBC Boston speak with? According to Michael, it was not one of his own family members.

Michael stated that he believes he's being targeted because he is a Republican - a Black Republican with conservative values. He believes that he was on a juror panel with a large number of Democratic voters. And he knows exactly what's happening right now, and I think that you all do as well.

A Black Republican stood his ground. It is not surprising that he is now being dragged through the mud.

This is a very bad precedent for people who will serve on a jury in the future for a national case. No one wants to do this when, based on their decision that they say is based on the evidence, they are crucified online for their political beliefs. You have all seen it. You have seen the threats that I get on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what this man is going through.

But for now, I stand with the Black conservative Republican juror.

More: the YouTuber who doxxed the "rogue juror" was enlisted by... Kevin Reddington, Lindsay Clancy's defense lawyer, according to Nate the Lawyer.

Apparently he has a history of stirring the shit in legal cases and Reddington texted him to take an interest in Lindsay Clancy.

The New York Times: Israelis "still largely perceive themselves to be the victims" of the 10/7 terrorist attacks that killed 1,200 and included many terror-rapes, with one woman raped so badly her pelvis was broken, and of course hundreds of kidnappings, with all hostages abused and starved.

That same sentence could be written, and will be written, about Americans and 9/11. Many of us still perceive ourselves of being the victims of 9/11, when the Democrat Media Party will tell you the only real victims of 9/11 were Muslims.

NY Post:

The New York Times came under fire Wednesday over a baffling passage that appeared in an article about an Israeli documentary -- which said the Jewish state "still largely view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7."

The Sept. 14 article, penned by Jerusalem-based reporter Isabel Kershner, covers the controversy over the documentary film "NAZA," which chronicles the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and just won the Special Jury Prize at this year's Venice Film Festival.

...

"But Israelis still largely view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7," she continued, even citing the 1,200 civilian casualties slaughtered that day and the 250 taken hostage in what she called "the deadliest day in Israel's history" in the very same paragraph.

The phrasing, and confusing juxtaposition, quickly sparked bitter outrage on social media.

"No words for this abomination," CNN correspondent Scott Jennings wrote in a post on X sharing a screenshot with the offending passage highlighted, which has already garnered hundreds of angry responses and hundreds of thousands of views.

"If Israel wasn't the Oct 7 victim, who does the NYTimes propose is? The mental gymnastics are at an Olympic level here," wrote one of many confused commenters.

"I cancelled my subscription long ago. The NYT is just the propaganda arm of the DSA," said another, implying the Gray Lady is doing heavy lifting for the Democratic Socialists of America.

"Yes, and equally curiously, Americans overwhelmingly still see themselves as the victim of 9/11. The nerve!" another commenter wrote, sarcastically.

Hey I already said that, asshole.

Antisemite and literal moron Mark Ruffalo loses the Emmy for best actor to Noah Wylie, who is Jewish.

Speaking of antisemites who have been overpromoted into positions of influence:

Abdul El-Sayed Railed Against 'Disturbing' Funding for Breast Cancer Research, Said Disease Affects People With 'Social Power and Privilege'



The Michigan Democrat denounced 'the Pink Ribbon Lobby' in essay published during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Chuck Ross

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in a fiery essay railed against the "breast cancer lobby" and blasted breast cancer advocacy groups for creating the impression that women were "in imminent danger" from the disease.

In a 2012 essay entitled "The Pink Ribbon Lobby and Everyone Else," El-Sayed, who has a medical degree and refers to himself as "Dr. El-Sayed" in political ads, bemoaned the increase in federal funding for breast cancer research, calling it a "disturbing" trend that diverts federal funding to study other serious diseases.

The culprit, according to El-Sayed, was the all-powerful "breast cancer lobby," which he also derided as the "pink ribbon lobby," a reference to the pink ribbons that commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October.

"The breast cancer lobby has done an incredible job raising my 'awareness' of Breast Cancer," El-Sayed wrote for the 2x2 Project, a journal sponsored by Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, where El-Sayed worked as an epidemiologist. El-Sayed noted that the George Washington Bridge in New York City was adorned with pink lights and that his alma mater's football team, the Michigan Wolverines, were decked out "in pink cleats and arm bands."

"If I weren't an epidemiologist, it would have me believing that the women around me were in imminent danger," said El-Sayed, who asserted that the significant funding for breast cancer created problems "for equity in health research allocation" by prioritizing funding for diseases that affect people with "social power and privilege."

El-Sayed's essay relied heavily on an American Sociological Review study on the lobbying of "single-disease interest groups," in particular those dedicated to fighting breast cancer and HIV/AIDS. Curiously, El-Sayed omitted HIV/AIDS organizations from his scathing analysis, even though breast cancer killed more than three times as many Americans as HIV/AIDS in 2012.

Breast cancer will afflict around 1 in 8 women in their lifetimes and is the second leading killer of women in America, after heart disease. According to one estimate, 322,000 Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year, and 42,000 will die.

But, in recent decades, breast cancer deaths have plummeted--amid advances in detection and treatment--even as the number of cases has steadily risen.

El-Sayed's article raises questions about his current views of breast cancer research.

El-Sayed, who last year accused Elon Musk of "gutting" cancer research at the Department of Government Efficiency, has expressed interest in serving on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which oversees the budget for the National Institutes of Health, the main source of federal funding for disease research. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), a longtime El-Sayed ally, serves as ranking member of the committee. Sanders has stirred controversy in the past over his views about breast cancer, linking the disease to "inhibited sexuality" in women.

"The manner in which you bring up your daughter with regard to sexual attitudes may very well determine whether or not she will develop breast cancer, among other things," Sanders wrote in an essay that resurfaced during his 2020 presidential run. "How much guilt, nervousness have you imbued in your daughter with regard to sex?"

First he slaughtered the stray dogs, now he calls for cancer to be unleashed upon the puppies.

Apparently an anonymous donor paid to have the Butler Assassin cremated and feds won't tell Congress who this Mystery Patron is.

Why did it take Senator Chuck Grassley to find this new information about Thomas Crooks? Is he the only person in DC with any investigative powers? The FBI was told by the Crooks' family that an "anonymous donor" paid for the cremation. It's been more than two years. Why has that donor not been identified and questioned? Who was it, what was his/her motivation? What evidence was destroyed?

In fairness, some information may be interesting to the public but if investigators find that it is not germane to the case, they don't report it. They don't put people on blast unless there's a reason for it. People are always making a big deal that "Epstein witnesses" -- people who had almost no connection to Epstein except for him mentioning them in an email, or the like -- and jump to the conclusion that the FBI and DRUMPF!!! must be "protecting" these "Epstein witnesses," when the truth is they're not witnesses to anything and have been cleared by the FBI.

Obviously I don't know what's going on here and whether or not it's germane.

Why do people have such deep suspicions of the FBI?

Who can say, who can say.

Red State says this Deep State Enforcer is now a former FBI agent.

Oof: The Fed raised interest rates to tamp down on inflation.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday hiked rates for the first time in three years, an effort to tamp down inflation that drew a muted rebuke from President Trump as the midterms approach.

In a unanimous vote, the Fed raised rates by a quarter point to the 3.75% to 4% range -- the first move in rates under Warsh, whom Trump hand-picked after lambasting predecessor Jerome Powell for years for not lowering interest rates fast enough.

"The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long," Warsh said at a press conference following the vote.

"Today's action starts to show that we're serious about this."

Hours after the vote, Trump called for rates to be lowered, though he stopped short of attacking Warsh personally.

"Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World -- BY FAR," the president wrote on Truth Social.

"Lower the interest rates for the United States of America, and fast!" he added in all-caps.

Terror in the skies as the cabin of an Iranian jet-liner nearly comes apart in mid-air.

Frightening footage captured the dramatic moment that passengers screamed in terror as their plane appeared to fall apart during a flight across Iran.

The Sepehran Airlines flight had been slated to fly from Mashhad to Kermanshah Sept. 15, Jam Press reported. However, disaster struck shortly after takeoff, when the Boeing 737 suffered a mechanical failure.

In the wild clip, the aircraft is seen shaking violently, causing panels to fall from the ceiling as terrified passengers shout and pray.

Meanwhile, some flyers were reportedly hit by items falling from the cargo bins, although no injuries were reported.

To avert further disaster, the captain turned the aircraft around and ferried the 127 passengers back to Mashhad.
