A British woman who falsely accused multiple men of rape and claimed to have been a victim of an Asian grooming gang was <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11857499/Asian-grooming-gang-fantasist-jailed-eight-half-years.html?ico=related-replace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sentenced</a> this week to eight and a half years in prison.
Eleanor Williams, 22, was convicted in January of perverting the course of justice after her claims of victimhood and the pictures she posted to Facebook allegedly showing injuries caused by the grooming gang were proven false, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11854355/Three-men-tried-lives-false-rape-allegations-woman-court-hears.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Williams had previously made false allegations of rape before posting photos of her alleged injuries in May 2020, during the COVID lockdown.
The photos sparked outrage and led to protests in her hometown of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, in England.
During her two-day sentencing hearing, her victims described what life was like after Williams’ false accusations. One of her victims said his life became “hell on earth” after Williams made her allegations.
“I still bear the scars to this day,” the victim, a business owner, said through tears as he admitted to trying to take his own life after he was falsely accused.
The victim added that his property had been damaged and his businesses had been “ruined,” following the allegations.
“I have had countless death threats made over social media from people all over the world because of what they thought I was involved in,” he said.
Williams claimed that the man had groomed her since she was 12 years old and sent her to brothels in Amsterdam, where she was sold at auction. But bank records showed the man was in Barrow-in-Furness while Williams was in Amsterdam. Williams was also shown evidence that she was actually with her sister and her sister’s boyfriend the entire time she was in Amsterdam, casting further doubt on her claims.
Another victim told the court that the word “rapist” had been spray painted on his house and that his window was smashed after Williams’ allegations. That victim was arrested and spent 73 days in prison based on Williams’ false accusation. He also tried to kill himself.
A third man also said he tried to kill himself after Williams accused him of rape.
“This whole period in my life has been totally overwhelming,” he said.
The photos of Williams with bruises on her face and her eye swollen shut were alleged to have been self-inflicted with a hammer, Superintendent Matthew Pearman said in a statement, according to the Daily Mail. Williams had claimed she received the injuries after being taken to a home and raped by members of the grooming gang. Investigators, however, found a hammer in her own home with her blood on it.
She was also accused of sending Facebook messages to herself disguised as sex traffickers or other victims, and allegedly manipulated real people into sending her messages that she then claimed were from her attackers.
Prosecutors at trial said some of the men she accused were real, but others didn’t even exist.
Williams maintained her innocence throughout her trial, with her attorney Louise Blackwell saying she “continues in her allegations against the various people in pretty much the same circumstances.”

Michael Peterson, better known by his fighting name Charles Bronson and Britain’s most notorious prisoner, is up for parole.
A parole board is currently deciding whether Bronson, who changed his name to Charles Salvador in 2014, should be released after spending nearly 50 years behind bars. He is currently serving a life sentence after numerous bouts with prisoners and prison guards while serving time on a robbery charge from 1988.
During his parole hearing, Bronson routinely swore and sighed loudly, the Independent <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/charles-bronson-parole-mailing-list-letters-b2295055.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. He was given 15 minutes to make an opening statement and began by saying, “I could fill 15 hours.”
“First of all, it’s no secret I have had more porridge than Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and I’m sick of it. I’ve had enough of it, I want to go home,” Bronson said.
He added that half of the 738-page dossier on his actions was “crap, absolute rubbish,” arguing that he was “almost an angel now,” compared to how he had previously acted.
“I have not walked on grass for over 30 years and I dream of walking on grass,” he added.
But Bronson also said he was “born to have a rumble” and disparaged a prison governor whom he had attacked and left with post-traumatic stress disorder. Bronson called the man “an a**hole,” saying he would “die an a**hole.”
The chairman of the Parole Board panel argued that Bronson had spent almost the entirety of the past five decades behind bars, except for two brief periods where he was released and quickly committed new crimes.
Born in 1952, Bronson began a life of petty crime at a young age, with juvenile court reprimands for stealing. He served time for smashing parked cars after having an argument with his then-girlfriend’s father, and a suspended sentence for a smash-and-grab raid at age 19.
His first major offense occurred in 1974 when he was convicted of armed robbery at the age of 22 and sentenced to seven years in prison.
While in prison, he attacked prisoners and guards alike, took hostages, and attempted to escape. Though he has never killed anyone, he attempted to kill multiple prisoners, including child rapist and murderer John White.
Bronson changed his name to Charles Bronson in 1987 during one of his prison releases, when he began a short-lived stint as a bare-knuckle boxer. Bronson would return to prison shortly, however, after robbing a jewelry store.
In prison, Bronson became depressed, and used art therapy as a way to cope, eventually changing his name to Charles Salvador in tribute to Salvador Dali. His paintings have been sold and earned him awards, and the Charles Salvador Art Foundation promotes his work and encourages those less fortunate to create art.
He has also written books about his experience as a prisoner and exercising in small spaces.
It is unclear whether he will be granted parole.

Air New Zealand decked Great Britain’s Prince Harry after seeing a claim he made about them in his book “Spare” that they said was demonstrably false.
In the book, Harry claims that his wife, Meghan Markle, bought a first-class ticket on the airline from Mexico to Great Britain for her father Thomas because she was concerned about media harassment.
“We told him, leave Mexico right now: A whole new level of harassment is about to rain down on you, so come to Britain,” Harry, the Duke of Sussex, wrote in the book <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/air-new-zealand-takes-sussexclass-dig-at-prince-harry-meghan-3688205" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to NDTV. “Air New Zealand, first class, booked and paid for by Meg.&#8221;
But Air New Zealand said that it had never operated a flight between Mexico and Great Britain and offers Business Premier service rather than first class. &#8220;We&#8217;ve never had flights between Mexico and the UK. And we only have Business Premier,&#8221; a spokesman told the New Zealand Herald.
The airline then tweaked Harry and his wife, tweeting, “Introducing #SussexClass. Apparently coming soon.”

“As I have said many times, and reiterate now, Harry and Meghan must be stripped of all their remaining titles immediately. And they shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the coronation in May,&#8221; Morgan said. &#8220;They’ve made their treacherous bed, and they can lie in it, just as they lie about everything else.”
Whoever serves as the head of the British monarchy also serves as the sovereign and head of state in New Zealand, which is part of the Commonwealth of Nations, now headed by Great Britain’s King Charles. New Zealand’s status as part of the British Empire was established in 1840 in the Treaty of Waitangi between Queen Victoria and the native Maori chiefs.
The Commonwealth of Nations, formerly the British Commonwealth of Nations, includes 56 independent and equal countries. There are no mutual legal obligations; they are connected through their use of the English language and historical ties. Gabon and Togo are the most recent countries to join the group, in 2022.
Much of how the Commonwealth works was established during a conference in the early 20th century. &#8220;At the 1926 conference, Britain and the Dominions agreed that they were all equal members of a community within the British Empire. They all owed allegiance to the British king or queen, but the United Kingdom did not rule over them. This community was called the British Commonwealth of Nations or just the Commonwealth,&#8221; the Commonwealth of Nations website <a href="https://thecommonwealth.org/history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explains</a>.

Air New Zealand Mocks Prince Harry’s Claim In ‘Spare’

Prince Harry

Spare

Prince Harry&#8217;s new book &#8220;Spare&#8221; was released on Tuesday, so to &#8216;spare&#8217; our DailyWire+  audience from having to read it, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-69-spare-book-review-meghan-markle-is-the-racist-prince-harry-was-looking-for" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here’s a book review</a>.
Prior to “Spare,” the Royal Family was seen by many as unattainable and shrouded in secrecy which, in turn, inspired wonder and awe. Then Prince Harry opened his big mouth.
In short, there are elements in this book that are even below what Kim Kardashian would put on the internet.
To say I hated it is an understatement, but to truly understand why this book deserves so much scorn, I thought it might be best to pull out a few of my favorite (least favorite?) excerpts and provide my reaction to his incessant whining. 
Without further ado, here are some of the worst moments that exposed the pettiness of Prince Harry and Meghan in “Spare.”
Spoiler upfront: The book is about an over-privileged brat who sold out his family for millions and his racist wife — who only decided to be black when she thought it could benefit her. 
<h2>Harry’s Annoying Grievance With His Older Brother … A Theme Throughout </h2>
<blockquote>EXCERPT 1: “All at once something shifted inside of me. I looked at Willy, really looked at him, maybe for the first time since we were boys. I took it all in: his familiar scowl, which had always been his default in dealings with me; his alarming baldness, more advanced than my own; his famous resemblance to Mummy, which was fading with time. With age. In some ways, he was my mirror, in some ways he was my opposite. My beloved brother, my arch nemesis, how had that happened?” </blockquote>
I’m sorry … Prince William’s &#8216;alarming baldness?&#8217; What? He put this in a book because it&#8217;s petty and small. 
Readers will find that &#8216;petty and small&#8217; is what this book is all about 
<h2>Harry Complains About His Childhood Bedroom</h2>
<blockquote>EXCERPT 2: “Balmoral had fifty bedrooms, one of which had been divided for me and Willy. Adults called it the nursery. Willy had the larger half, with a double bed, a good-sized basin, a cupboard with mirrored doors, a beautiful window looking down on the courtyard, the fountain, the bronze statue of a roe deer buck. My half of the room was far smaller, less luxurious. I never asked why. I didn’t care. But I also didn’t need to ask. Two years older than me, Willy was the Heir, whereas I was the Spare.”</blockquote>
What is the big deal here? This is a common occurrence for children throughout the world fortunate enough to have a bedroom. 
When you divide a room, someone gets the better half. Usually, that person is the older sibling. They typically get first dibs. This is not unique to you, Harry. This happens in every family blessed with a home and multiple bedrooms.
My two sisters and I shared a room. My brother had his own room. Were we the three spares? Should I write a book about my life because of that? Of course not. 
<h2>Harry Continues Complaining…Is He Making This Up As He Goes?</h2>
<blockquote>EXCERPT 3: “I was brought into the world in case something happened to Willy. I was summoned to provide backup, distraction, diversion and, if necessary, a spare part. Kidney, perhaps. Blood transfusion. Speck of bone marrow.  This was all made explicitly clear to me from the start of life’s journey and regularly reinforced thereafter.”</blockquote>
Does anyone actually think people made it clear to him that he was here for a “speck of bone marrow?”
Does he know what “explicit” means? This sounds like such a ridiculous lie — but I guess, Harry expects readers to just go with it because he needs you to know that the very mundane things he experienced as a younger brother are so deep.
<h2>Harry Really Doesn’t Understand How Older Siblings Work</h2>
<blockquote>EXCERPT 4: “Willy told me to pretend I didn’t know him.
What?
You don’t know me, Harold. And I don’t know you.
For the last two years, he explained, Eton had been his sanctuary. No kid brother tagging along, pestering him with questions, pushing up on his social circle. He was forging his own life, and he wasn’t willing to give that up.
&#8230;But for Willy it was pure agony to wear the same blazer, the same tight shorts, as me. And now, to attend the same school, was pure murder.
I told him not to worry. I’ll forget I ever knew you.”</blockquote>
Again, this just sounds like a normal family replete with teenage angst and squabbles that happen to siblings close in age. 
My sisters and I went to the same school. At times, we didn’t want to hang with each other. We thought it was embarrassing to dress alike. This sort of thing is even so common that it’s a recurring theme in TV sitcoms and movies because it is so relatable.
Come to think of it, God forbid my sisters wrote a book about their experience — then Harry might see how absolutely normal it was that Willy didn’t want to hang out with his brother at school or wear the same clothes as him.
<h2>It’s Never Harry’s Fault</h2>
<blockquote>EXCERPT 5: &#8220;I was just hoping he’d tell me it would be OK, don’t freak out, keep calm, Harold. Instead, he laughed like the others. I recall him sitting at his desk, bent over a book, chuckling, while I stood before him fingering the nubs on my newly bare scalp.
Harold, what have you done?
What a question. He sounded like Stewie from Family Guy. Wasn’t it obvious?
You shouldn’t have done it, Harold!
So we’re just stating the obvious now?
He said a few more things that were immensely unhelpful and I walked out.&#8221;</blockquote>
Prince Harry is almost 40-years-old. For some reason, he actually thought this was a good idea to put into the book about the time that his brother didn’t comfort him after getting a bad haircut when he was a kid.
Harry thinks that William was supposed to hold him and comfort him.
This incident bothers him to this day, but it also highlights that readers find out that the prince truly believes that whatever he does — it is someone else&#8217;s fault. 
That is how the whole book goes.
<h2>Harry Is Always The Victim </h2>
<blockquote>EXCEPT 6: &#8220;Of course … I had been doing cocaine around this time. At someone’s country house, during a shooting weekend, I’d been offered a line, and I’d done a few more since. It wasn’t much fun, and it didn’t make me particularly happy, as it seemed to make everyone around me, but it did make me feel different, and that was the main goal. Feel. Different. I was a deeply unhappy seventeen-year-old boy willing to try almost anything that would alter the status quo. That was what I told myself anyway. Back then, I could lie to myself as effortlessly as I’d lied to the courtier.”
“But now I realized coke hadn’t been worth the candle. The risk far outweighed the reward. Threatened with exposure, faced with the prospect of fouling up Granny’s Golden Jubilee, walking a knife’s edge with the mad press — nothing was worth any of that.
On the bright side, I’d played the game well.”</blockquote>
Harry somehow still plays the victim. He doesn&#8217;t tell you that he still kept this up until when he met Meghan, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/21/world/prince-harry-oprah-drinking-scli-intl-gbr/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to reports</a>.
Yet again, Harry wants you to believe that no matter what mistakes he has made, it is never his fault.
There is always someone behind his downfall either setting him up to fail or failing to protect him. The main antagonist for Harry is his brother.
<h2>Harry Throws His Sister-In-Law And Niece Under The Bus So He Can Trash The Royal Family</h2>
<blockquote>EXCERPT 7. &#8220;Meg didn’t reply to Kate straightaway. Yes, she had endless wedding-related texts, but mostly she was dealing with the chaos surrounding her father. So the next morning she texted Kate that our tailor was standing by. At the Palace. His name was Ajay.
This wasn’t sufficient.
They set up a time to speak that afternoon.
Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on at home, Kate said.
Right, and I told you the tailor has been standing by since eight a.m. Here. At KP. Can you take Charlotte to have it altered, as the other moms are doing?
No, all the dresses need to be remade.
Her own wedding dress designer agreed, Kate added.
Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father. 
“Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!
Yes, Kate, I know…
And Kate had other problems with the way Meg was planning her wedding. Something about a party for the page boys?
The page boys? Half the kids in the wedding are from North America. They haven’t even arrived yet.
It went back and forth.
I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day.
Fine.
A short time later I arrived home and found Meg on the floor. Sobbing.
I was horrified to see her so upset, but I didn’t think it a catastrophe. Emotions were running high, of course, after the stress of the last week, the last month, the last day. It was intolerable — but temporary. Kate hadn’t meant any harm, I told her.”</blockquote>
My first question is why is Meg on the floor sobbing about a dress because she fumbled the ball?
My second question is where are the editors? Can you believe this made it into the book? He hung his little niece out to dry. This was a private communication and writing about an incident that is so minor is so juvenile. Why would he even want this in the book?
The simple answer, it seems, is that Meghan and Harry just want to make the Royal Family look bad.
Speaking of Meghan, here are all the times that the former actress cried in “Spare.” 
We can’t share the excerpts for each of incident, because then this review might be as long as the book itself:
<ul>
<li>Night Before Oprah Interview</li>
<li>Bridesmaid Dress Incident </li>
<li>After The Royal Household Issued A Denial Of A Negative Story About Prince William</li>
<li>Tyler Perry On Phone</li>
<li>When She Landed In America </li>
<li>Call With Will</li>
</ul>
And here’s one excerpt of Meghan crying that we thought worth sharing so you can see how manipulative she really is. 
<h2>Frogmore Palace When She Said She&#8217;d Kill Herself</h2>
<blockquote>EXCERPT 8: &#8220;I walked home from the office and found Meg sitting on the stairs. She was sobbing. Uncontrollably. My love, what’s happened? I thought for sure we’d lost the baby. I went to her on my knees. She choked out that she didn’t want to do this anymore. Do what? Live. I didn’t catch her meaning at first. I didn’t understand, maybe didn’t want to understand. My mind just didn’t want to process the words. It’s all so painful, she was saying. What is? To be hated like this—for what? What had she done? she asked. She really wanted to know. What sin had she committed to deserve this kind of treatment? She just wanted to make the pain stop, she said. Not only for her, for everyone. For me, for her mother. But she couldn’t make it stop, so she’d decided to disappear. Disappear? Without her, she said, all the press would go away, and then I wouldn’t have to live like this. Our unborn child would never have to live like this. It’s so clear, she kept saying, it’s so clear. Just stop breathing. Stop being. This exists because I exist. I begged her not to talk like that. I promised her we’d get through it, we’d find a way. In the meantime, we’d find her the help she needed. I asked her to be strong, hang on.&#8221;</blockquote>
Somebody needs to say it. Harry is very thick. He isn’t the brightest bulb in the bunch.
He believes everything his wife says.
Based on what we know, does he not see that this is a 40-year-old woman who has manipulated her way from the bottom to the top? 
<h2>Conclusion: Harry Is The Worst Kind Of Person That This Planet Has To Offer</h2>
This book goes on and on with nonstop complaining. 
It is supposed to make you believe that Harry is an unfortunate person who was born just so that he could give a spare kidney to his brother if he never needed it — despite being born into a life of luxury and a literal silver spoon in his mouth.
What the book actually makes you believe is that he is the worst kind of person that this planet has to offer.
He has betrayed his family members for profit. He uses his mother as a shield and is bilking millions from consumers off of her death. Throughout it, he basically says that readers cannot judge him because he has experienced tragedy at a young age and other life experiences.
Well, I will judge him.
After reading the book, he is a bad person and rotten to his core. He is a prostitute of sorts as he goes around slandering his family simply to make money.
He claims he hates the press, but constantly seeks it and speaks to anybody who will listen about his supposedly dreadful existence as a member of the Royal Family.
There is a special place in hell reserved for people like Prince Harry as well as his wife.
My only takeaway from this book, along with everything else I have seen, is that they are both rotten to their core. Perhaps it’s wishful thinking, but somebody should sue them for defamation. It seems obvious they were plotting this while in the Royal Family.
They deserve to be called out for being terrible people, and if you’re interested in reading about an overprivileged whiner as he sells out his family, then “Spare” is for you.

Sajak’s comment came amidst ferociously incessant coverage of the woke couple because of Harry’s new memoir, “Spare.”

Sajak’s point was well-taken, as coverage of the couple has blanketed social media in recent days, with Harry’s claims against the entire royal family in the book engendering incendiary responses.
</div>
<div>
In the book, Harry <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64179164">claimed</a> his older brother Prince William attacked him and also said that William and his wife Kate suggested he wear a Nazi uniform. In an interview with “60 Minutes,” Harry accused Camilla, Queen Consort, of <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/08/entertainment/prince-harry-tom-bradby-anderson-cooper-interviews-intl/index.html">leaking </a>stories about his family.
In the same interview, Harry said he tried to keep conversations and family drama private, but claims that, ultimately, he was forced to go public to protect his reputation.
“Every single time I’ve tried to do it privately there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife,” Harry <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/video/prince-harry-tells-60-minutes-about-his-decision-to-speak-publicly-60-minutes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Anderson Cooper. “You know, the family motto is never complain, never explain, but it’s just a motto.”
“There’s a lot of complaining and a lot of explaining … being done through leaks,” Cooper replied.
“They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent,” the Duke of Sussex went on. “And that correspondent will literally be spoon-fed information and write the story. And at the bottom of it, they will say that they’ve reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.”
</div>
<div>
Sajak has lanced the self-importance of celebrities before. In October 2017, he issued a tweet in the wake of the plethora of uninformed opinions offered by celebrities (in response to the Las Vegas massacre), writing, “OK, let me explain this again: We&#8217;re celebs. We&#8217;re wiser &amp; more empathetic than you. We are famous. Please take our opinions more seriously.”
</div>
<div>
That was not the first time Sajak, a political conservative, had lanced the celebrity bubble of leftism that pervades Hollywood. His resume should prove a warning to leftists that his wit would target them. He has served as an external director for the conservative publishing house Eagle Publishing, serves on the board of trustees at Hillsdale College, and has also served on the board of directors for the Claremont Institute.

A historical artifact that was recently rediscovered may offer a penetrating clue to the identity of the infamous Jack the Ripper, who mutilated and murdered five women in London in 1888 but was never caught.
Many theories have been propounded as to the murderer’s identity, and little if any evidence has been found as to his physical appearance, but the rediscovery of a walking stick that may have his face carved on it has excited some police researchers. It was just found by staff in the archives of the College of Policing in the U.K., who called the face engraved on the cane “the only reported facial composite” of the infamous murderer.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Jack the Ripper may have finally been unmasked after police make bizarre discovery <a href="https://t.co/nc3JP4qoaH">https://t.co/nc3JP4qoaH</a>
&mdash; Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) <a href="https://twitter.com/MailOnline/status/1608776096853409792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“Finding this cane was an exciting moment for us,” Antony Cash of the College of Policing <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/29/how-one-walking-stick-could-unlock-secret-jack-rippers-identity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enthused</a>. “Jack the Ripper is one of the biggest and most infamous murder cases in our history and his crimes were significant in paving the way for modern policing and forensics as it caused police to begin experimenting with and developing new techniques as they attempted to try and solve these murders, such as crime scene preservation, profiling, and photography.&#8221;
The walking stick had originally been presented to then-Chief Inspector Frederick Abberline “as a mark of esteem” by his investigative team after the murders.
“This walking cane is such a fascinating artifact that represents such a historically significant time in policing, and it’s amazing that we can put it out on display here in Ryton, alongside the original newspaper cuttings, so that our officers can see first-hand how far we’ve advanced in policing since then,” Cash added.
The handle of the cane shows a man glaring while wearing a dark cowl, a face that researchers think was supposed to represent Dr. Alexander Pedachenko, whom Abberline suspected of the crimes, which occurred between August 31 and November 9, 1888. Jack the Ripper slashed the throats of five prostitutes: Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly. He reportedly took internal organs from three of the women and removed half a kidney from one and sent it to the police.
A series of notes were sent to the police from someone claiming to be the murderer and calling himself Jack the Ripper. The failure to catch the murderer led to the resignation of the London police commissioner. The removal of organs from the victims has led some to believe that the murderer may have been a doctor, who would have had the requisite knowledge to perform such an action.

Best-selling author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling">J.K. Rowling</a> is one of the few mainstream celebrities willing to stand up to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq">trans activists</a> publicly, and during a recent interview she explained her reasons for doing so. 
The 57-year-old “Harry Potter” writer said it all came down to knowing she had enough funds to withstand the inevitable backlash. 
“It’s going to have to be, me, isn’t it? Because I will always be able to feed my kids, even if everyone boycotts my books for the rest of my life,” Rowling told British journalist Suzanne Moore during a recent <a href="https://suzannemoore.substack.com/p/an-exclusive-interview-with-jk-rowling">interview</a>. “That is a phenomenally privileged position to be in. I consider myself one of the most fortunate people on Earth.”  
“All of us know, who&#8217;ve been in the eye of the storm, that attempts are still made to stop you,” she continued. “And what&#8217;s so interesting is the main thrust of that attempt to silence is to put you into a state of fear.” 
Rowling said that she’s not afraid of being canceled in large part because she can afford to be.
“That’s why it’s important that women like us stand up – people who can afford to take the hit. And yeah, that comes at a cost … The only time I&#8217;ve ever made reference to being canceled, my book sales went up,” she noted.
At another point in the interview, Rowling reiterated that she has no personal vendetta against the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">trans community</a>, a point she made in the past.
“I have no irrational fear of or hatred towards trans people in the slightest – as, God knows, I&#8217;ve said so many times,” the British author reiterated. “But if you&#8217;re going to say it’s &#8216;hate&#8217; not to believe in a gendered soul, then we cannot have a discussion. We can&#8217;t. There&#8217;s nowhere to go. The tactic has been no debate, but it is changing.” 
Rowling goes on to say she considers herself a feminist but that leftists are “so convinced of their moral superiority” that they attempt to silence any objectors. 
“That’s where my brand of feminism splits sharply from third-wave feminism,” she says. “I see so much conflation of femininity with femaleness. We were fighting to stop that conflation, and there they are, in my view, embracing that. &#8221;
“The contradictions drive me crazy: we’re simultaneously told gender is innate and inborn, and that it&#8217;s a choice, a performance. All of these things cannot be true. If it’s a choice, then clearly it’s not innate.”

Meghan Markle was slammed on social media after part of the new Netflix documentary featuring her and her husband Prince Harry showed her making an exaggerated curtsy to imitate how she acted when she met the late Queen Elizabeth, Harry’s grandmother.
Harry prompted Markle’s curtsy as he recalled his conversation with her before they met his grandmother, saying, “How do you explain that you bow to your grandmother? And that you will need to curtsey? Especially to an American, that’s weird.”
“I mean, it&#8217;s surreal,” Markle chimed in, according to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11520013/The-look-Harrys-face-says-Dianas-former-chef-joins-wave-angry-royal-fans.html">the Daily Mail</a>. “There wasn&#8217;t like some big moment of ‘Now you&#8217;re gonna meet my grandmother. I didn&#8217;t know I was going to meet her until moments before. We were in the car and we were going to the Royal Lodge for lunch, and he was like, ‘Oh, my grandmother is here, she&#8217;s gonna be there after church.”
Markle’s exaggerated imitation of her curtsy provoked condemnation.
Tory MP Mark Jenkinson raged, “The ultimate betrayal. And he just sits and watches.”

Darren McGrady, who cooked for Queen Elizabeth, Harry’s mother Princess Diana, Pince William, and Harry for 15 years, chimed in, “The look on his face when his wife laughs about having to curtsey to The Queen says everything for me. &#8230; I&#8217;ve known Harry since I held him as a baby while Princess Diana was eating cereals in the kitchen at Windsor Castle. Prince Harry, with respect, sir, your wife will never be like or similar to your mother. I knew Princess Diana for 15 years. Not even close.”
Royal author Gyles Brandreth added of Harry, “He would know that the bow, as it were, is a brief curtsy. It is just a curtsy to show respect for the sovereign, and in the case of the queen, a lady in her 90s who had actually earned respect through a lifetime of service, and that was it. And to do this sort of mocking thing is uncomfortable.”
In the documentary, Markle referenced the movie “The Princess Diaries,” saying, &#8220;Joining this family I knew that there was a protocol for how things were done. Do you remember that old movie Princess Diaries with Anne Hathaway? &#8230; There is no class and some person who goes, &#8216;Sit like this, cross your legs like this, use this fork, don&#8217;t do this, curtsy then, wear this kind of hat.’ It doesn&#8217;t happen.
“I remember my family first meeting her and being incredibly impressed. Some of them didn&#8217;t quite know what to do with themselves,” Harry recalled, then bragged, “They were surprised that the ginger could land such a beautiful woman. And such an intelligent woman.”

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/great-britain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British</a> Museum is reportedly in talks to give <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/greece" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greece</a> one of the museum&#8217;s most iconic displays, the Elgin Marbles.
According to a <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63846449" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Ta Nea, a Greek newspaper, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and British Museum Chairman George Osborne have been discussing in secret a potential return of the ancient artifacts.
Ta Nea claimed the deal was in an “advanced” stage, with a source telling the outlet that the deal was about 90% completed. The talks have reportedly been going on for over a year.
Following the report, the British Museum has “pledged” to not “dismantle” its collection, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/british-museum-reportedly-talks-parthenon-sculptures-94398422" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Associated Press, but did not directly address whether Osborne and Mitsotakis had been meeting.
“As the chair of trustees said last month, we operate within the law and we’re not going to dismantle our great collection as it tells a unique story of our common humanity,’’ the museum said Saturday. “But we are seeking new positive, long-term partnerships with countries and communities around the world, and that of course includes Greece.”
The Elgin Marbles, also <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Elgin-Marbles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">known</a> as the Parthenon Marbles, are ancient marble statues that were featured throughout the Acropolis of Athens in Greece. Many of the artifacts were from the Parthenon, which was the Greek temple to Athena, the goddess of wisdom. The artifacts were taken to Britain in the early 1800s.
Thomas Bruce, known as Lord Elgin, was a British diplomat who obtained permission from the Ottoman Empire to take away the marble statues now prominently displayed in London. His move was controversial at the time, but Elgin argued it was necessary to preserve the artifacts.
Several pieces Elgin removed were from the Parthenon’s famous massive 520-foot frieze that had been damaged during a <a href="https://greekreporter.com/2017/09/26/september-26-1687-when-the-venetians-bombarded-the-parthenon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">battle</a> between the Ottomans and the Venetians in 1687.
After getting permission to “to take away any pieces of stone with old inscriptions or figures thereon,” he orchestrated the shipping to England from 1801 until 1812. In 1816, he sold the artifacts to the royal authorities at a loss.
Since 1941, Greece has pushed to have the artifacts returned, but Britain has so far declined in part because British law makes it extremely difficult for the museum to sell or give away artifacts.
Mitsotakis, who has been prime minister of Greece since 2019, has pushed for reunification, stating that he thought the two countries could come up with a compromise. “I don’t want to speak publicly about the discussions that we have had,” he said on Monday. “But I think there is a better sense of understanding that maybe a win-win solution can be found that will result in a reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures in Greece, while at the same time also taking into consideration concerns that the British Museum may have.”
The British Museum is also facing demands from Egyptian activists to return the Rosetta Stone, which British soldiers also took during the early 1800s.

Megyn Kelly, who has made no bones about her dislike for Meghan Markle, took another shot at her saying that Markle constantly refers to Prince Harry as &#8220;my husband.”
Kelly made her remarks on her podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show,” where she spoke with Christopher Anderson, the author of “The King: The Life of Charles III.”
“I was always taken by the fact that from the get-go, Meghan Markle said she knew nothing about Harry being the prince, knew nothing about the family, like every other young women of that age, they were all in love with [the Royals],” Anderson recalled. “There were pictures of her at the gates of Buckingham Palace when she was a teenager.”
“For my age, it was JFK Junior,” Kelly remembered. “For her age it was Prince Harry. Let&#8217;s get real, there&#8217;s always that eligible bachelor, and the Kennedys back when I was growing up, they were the closest thing we had to American royalty, even though we don’t like royalty here.”
“And so she was a liar,” Kelly charged. “I mean, that&#8217;s really what we&#8217;re both saying. She lied about it.”
Then Kelly segued to Markle’s habit of referring to her husband in a seemingly proprietary way.
“My producer was pointing out that she was talking about, whatever, her guest mentions Harry and Meghan replies, ‘Oh, my husband? He’s great,’ talking about him helping her get the kids ready in the morning,” she said.
She continued, “My producer, Kelly, says, ‘Is it just me or is it so annoying how she always refers to him as my husband?’”
“It’s not just you, Kelly, it is all of us,” Kelly declared. “&#8217;My husband.’ We get it. You bagged the gorilla. Congratulations, you got the big bear; you want us to know.”
In mid-October, Kelly targeted Markle, saying, &#8220;Meghan Markle lies regularly, more than most people, about a lot. &#8230; She lies so often she&#8217;s had to hire a new publicity team now to help work on her image. And a fact checker for her Spotify podcast. Which is rather amusing when you consider the falsehoods broadcast there so far have all been about her. What&#8217;s the fact checker going to do?&#8221;
Speaking of Markle’s complaints that she had no idea that her job on the game show “Deal or No Deal” was about beauty and not brains, Kelly fired, “She knew exactly what she was getting herself into on that job, and it was no surprise to her that they wanted her to look as good as possible while doing it. What she is trying to con us on now is whether she enjoyed it. She loved every minute of it! She wanted to be objectified! She wanted the adulation.”

A British nurse who has been accused of murdering seven premature babies allegedly sent a condolence card to the parents of one of the babies she is charged with killing.
Lucy Letby, who is also accused of seven murders and the attempts to murder ten more babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016, admitted to police she had sent the card, claiming the action was “not normal.”
In her trial she acknowledged she had an image of the card on her cell phone, according to testimony. The card came after the nurse had allegedly attempted to kill the child three times before succeeding on the fourth attempt.
Although the child was doing well until Letby “got her hands on her,” prosecuting attorney Nick Johnson asserted, after that the baby vomited and exhibited breathing problems. He added, “It was persistent, it was calculated and it was cold-blooded,” as <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11309843/Cold-blooded-nurse-Lucy-Letby-murdered-baby-girl-fourth-attempt-sent-sympathy-card.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail</a> reported.
Letby allegedly injected babies with insulin, air or overfed them with milk at night when the parents were not present.
Johnson also <a href="https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/police-find-note-saying-i-25252240" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showed the jury</a> an image of a yellow Post-it note kept by Letby. He declared that she wrote, “I don&#8217;t deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I&#8217;m not good enough,” “I am a horrible evil person,” and in capital letters, “I AM EVIL I DID THIS.”
Johnson concluded, “Well, ladies and gentlemen, that in a nutshell is your task in this case. Whether or not she did these dreadful things is the decision you will have to make when you have heard all the evidence.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The prosecution at Letby’s trail claimed she tried to kill twins more than once and in June 2016 murdered two babies who were part of triplets while the third baby survived.
In the case of the first child Letby is alleged to have murdered, the prosecution claimed she first injected air into the baby’s stomach before trying twice more. After the third attempt the baby was transferred to another unit, making a substantial recovery, but then was returned to Letby&#8217;s care where the baby collapsed and needed cardiac compressions.
When the parents arrived after the baby’s death, they were asked if they wanted to bathe their baby. Johnson related that as the baby&#8217;s mother “bathed her recently departed child, Letby came into the room and, in the words of the mother, was ‘smiling and kept going on about how she was present at Child I&#8217;s first bath and how much [the child] had loved it.&#8217;’”
“A post mortem revealed that all the loops in the infant&#8217;s bowel were significantly dilated due to increased air content,” The Daily Mail reported.
“We suggest that it is highly significant that children within the orbit of Lucy Letby persistently and consistently suffered unexplained collapses,” Johnson contended.
“Sometimes the evidence of her hand at work is more obvious than others and it is remarkable that on many occasions when children who had suffered unexpected spectacular and life-threatening collapses were removed from her orbit, they had exceptional recoveries,” he asserted.

What the passing of Jim Redmond teaches us about fatherhood and the tragic situation afflicting the millions of suffering American men who are without jobs, families, professions, and most of all, deep meaning. It is not a “them” problem, it is an “us” problem.
In the semifinal heat of the men’s 400 meters race at the 1992 Barcelona Summer Games, British runner Derek Redmond tore his hamstring in the middle of the race. Derek began to hobble to the finish line on one leg. His father, Jim, rushed past track officials to help his son make it to the finish line, dramatically holding him up as his son wept in his arms.
Yesterday, the man who made this moment happen, <a href="https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/34730301/jim-redmond-helped-son-derek-finish-400m-race-1992-olympics-dies-81">Jim Redmond passed away</a>
It is the most poignant moment I have ever witnessed in a sporting event. But what often gets missed is that Jim had to fight to carry his son. Track officials came up to him multiple times as he assisted his son towards the finish line and every time he aggressively waved them off, refusing to abandon his son at the most fragile — and public — moment of his life. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2G8KVzTwfw">Watch it</a> and try not to weep — there is a purity of love and transcendent affection on display that most of us never witness in our everyday lives.
I could not help but feel a personal connection to the timing of Jim’s death. My father passed away a little over a year ago and today is his birthday; he would have been the same age of Mr. Redmond, eighty-one-years-old.
He had a terrible and macabre end — the kind of death one reads about in books or watches in movies that makes a normal person shudder in terror at the prospect of his own end. The doctors discovered the brain cancer first. Then they found out it had originated from the lungs. Just as they his doctors started his treatment, he contracted COVID and was put on an arbitrary and unnecessary twenty-day quarantine. He was already weak and in a precipitous decline.
I knew with the quarantine I would never see him again.
I went outside and sat under the stars and composed the final text I would ever send to him:
&#8220;Dad—I just got off the phone with you. You sound discouraged. And I would be too. I can’t imagine how you are feeling. But whatever happens I just want to tell you one thing, and I really want you to hear it . . . . You were the ABSOLUTE BEST FATHER a baby, and a boy, and a teenager, and a man could have ever had. I am many many things in this life, but nothing makes me prouder than being your son. Always. Forever. I know you prayed over candles when I was about to get born. And I wish I could somehow return the favor now when you need it. If you need ANYTHING, anything at all, please call me. I love you dad!&#8221;
He couldn’t reply with anything other than an emoji heart symbol.
Just fifteen days later he was gone.
There were so many times I needed my own dad’s shoulder in the forty-five years he fathered me. So many times, he was there when I limped through different segments of life.
But now, with three of my own children, I have also discovered the tender splendors of being a father myself. I used to always imagine being a disappointed Derek on the track of life, but now I know and revere the necessity of being a Jim, of acting as a paternal pillar in the tumultuous lives of my children. I know that fatherhood is about more than locking the door at night and putting food on the table — it’s about conditioning our children to embrace the journey of life, the ecstasies and the agonies, the moments of exhilaration and delight along with the pulses of pain and depths of despair. Making no promises along the way except for the presence of unconditional love.
A lot has been written and said in recent weeks about the <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/book/of-boys-and-men/">declining fate of males</a> in American civil society. The widening schism of educational attainment between the sexes. The reality that the labor market is evolving in ways that are far less lucrative for traditional blue-collar jobs than service, female-dominated industries. The anecdotal testimony of teachers across America that the boys are less motivated, less ambitious, less organized and polished.
I cannot imagine what the future must hold for this country — so many young men are ill-equipped to be positive father figures to their children and many will never even try. Talk to American teenagers and for so many of them their fathers are a source of pain, a dysfunctional fantasia of paternal neglect and absence.
Andrew Sullivan and Richard Reeves released <a href="https://andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/richard-reeves-on-struggling-men">an extraordinary podcast</a> last week about Reeves’s new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Boys-Men-Modern-Struggling-Matters/dp/0815739877">Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It</a>. What sticks out about their extraordinary conversation is their own testimonies about the power of male models in their lives — teachers, fathers, friends. 
And because we are beings who learn by example, who are social creatures who need guidance navigating the tricky ecosystems of life, the absence and decline of such models is a national calamity and a personal impoverishment for so many of my students who have almost no adult males in their corner of life.
Everyone suffers when men fail to engage their families and communities. 
That’s why Jim Redmond’s heroic rescue of his injured son is forever etched in my memory as the penultimate embodiment of what a loving father looks like.
