Disgraced former Biden Energy Department official Samuel Brinton reportedly agreed in court this week to undergo a mental health evaluation as part of an adult diversion program in the felony baggage theft case that he faces in Minnesota.
Brinton was originally charged with felony theft in two separate cases late last year for allegedly stealing luggage from Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport and Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
FOX 9 reported that as part of the adult diversion program, Brinton is required to apologize to the victim, return any stolen property, and complete community service. The program could lead to the case against Brinton being dismissed altogether, the report <a href="https://www.fox9.com/news/fmr-doe-official-who-took-luggage-from-msp-enters-diversion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
Brinton reportedly flew into Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport with American Airlines from Washington, D.C., on September 16. According to the complaint, Brinton traveled without a checked bag, indicating he had no purpose to claim a bag after landing.
The complaint alleges Brinton left the airport in an Uber and checked into the InterContinental St. Paul Riverfront hotel with the blue bag.
Brinton returned to MSP two days later, on September 18, and flew back to Washington, D.C., with the same bag.
Records and video surveillance showed the suitcase belonged to a female passenger who flew into the MSP on a Delta flight from New Orleans. According to a report, she notified law enforcement that her bag and the contents inside — valued at around $2,325 — had gone missing in the baggage claim area on the same day Brinton allegedly took the luggage.
Nearly three weeks later, the criminal complaint alleges, video surveillance footage from Dulles International Airport in Virginia captured Brinton returning from Europe with the bag on October 9.

Authorities contacted Brinton that same day, asking if he “took anything that did not belong” to him.
“Not that I know of,” Brinton allegedly responded, but later admitted he took the bag.
“If I had taken the wrong bag, I am happy to return it, but I don’t have any clothes for another individual. That was my clothes when I opened the bag,” he told police, according to the complaint.
He allegedly called authorities two hours later and apologized for not being “completely honest,” adding he took the bag thinking it was his in a state of exhaustion. The complaint also alleges Brinton realized it wasn’t his bag after opening it up at the hotel, at which point he “got nervous” and “didn’t know what to do.”
It now appears as though he could have the felony charge in Minnesota dropped, which comes after he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disgraced-ex-biden-official-sam-brinton-avoids-jail-time-after-plea-deal-in-luggage-theft-case">pled</a> “no contest” last week after being charged in December for allegedly stealing luggage at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
Eight News Now reported that Brinton agreed to pay the victim more than $3,500 in restitution and received a suspended 180-day jail sentence, meaning that he will serve no time behind bars assuming he can stay out of trouble.

A new development was revealed to the public this week from the 2017 Las Vegas massacre, which left 60 people dead and hundreds more injured, after letters were released allegedly from an ex-convict in Texas written to the man who later went on to carry out the atrocity.
The Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/las-vegas-shooting-letters-paddock-deddc4cdbc5b98452bcaa0126a1bcf21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the FBI released the letters, signed by a man named Jim Nixon, in response to a records request from The Wall Street Journal.
The 75-year-old Vietnam war veteran, who served some time in prison for tax fraud, told local media that he never contacted law enforcement about the shooter, who The Daily Wire is not naming due to company policy about depriving mass killers of the notoriety that they seek.
“He did what he did and I feel bad I couldn’t have stopped him,” Nixon said. “I didn’t know he was going to do what he did.”
Police received the letters two months after the shooting when they were discovered by the new owners of a vacant property in Mesquite, Texas — a place where the shooter had once owned property.
“My friend it sound like you are going to kill or murder someone or some people,” a letter written to the shooter in June 2017 said. “Please don’t go on any shooting rampage like some fool.”
The month prior, another letter was sent to the shooter that said, “I am concern about the way you are talking and believe you are going to do something very bad.”
“Please don’t go out shooting or hurting people who did nothing to you,” the letter said. “Please please don’t do what I think you are going to do.”

The FBI did not comment on the credibility of the letters. The bureau said that the shooter used the money that he got from selling property that he owned in Mesquite to &#8220;buy dozens of weapons that were ultimately used in the shooting.&#8221;
“The FBI does not comment on individual interviews conducted during an investigation and we do not comment on (freedom of information) documents,” the bureau said Friday. “There is no new information that the FBI was not aware or that the FBI has not shared with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in this case. We stand by the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit key findings summary report.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-wahlberg">Mark Wahlberg</a> is one of several celebrities to leave <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood">Hollywood</a> for a different lifestyle, which he says has been beneficial for his children.
&#8220;It&#8217;s really giving the kids a chance to thrive,&#8221; the 51-year-old actor <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/mark-wahlberg-moved-out-hollywood-could-give-children-chance-thrive">told</a> Fox News Digital in an article published Thursday about settling his family in Las Vegas. 
&#8220;It just has the best of both worlds. I know a lot of people, when they think <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/las-vegas">Las Vegas</a>, they think the Strip. But just about 15, 20 minutes away, there&#8217;s a whole lot of other amazing areas that are all about family and community.&#8221;
Wahlberg has four children with wife Rhea Durham. He says daughters Ella, 19, and Grace, 13, and sons Michael, 17, and Brendan, 14, are all doing well after he sold their home in Beverly Hills last April.
&#8220;My daughter&#8217;s an equestrian,” the “Father Stu” star told the publication. &#8220;My son&#8217;s a golfer. My oldest daughter, now she&#8217;s off to college. My son&#8217;s a junior. There&#8217;s lots of opportunity here as well for me. We&#8217;re trying to create a studio. We&#8217;re trying to build the shoe factory. We want to create lots of jobs here.&#8221;
&#8220;I moved to Nevada where, after this gubernatorial election, hopefully it will go to legislation and get a bill passed so we can get a tax credit for the state — build a state-of-the-art studio here and make this Hollywood 2.0,&#8221; Wahlberg added.
The Hollywood veteran went on to say that Vegas has the potential to become a new entertainment hub, but also that his kids’ happiness is his main priority.
&#8220;We&#8217;re always looking for new opportunities and new adventures,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I hope to create a lot of opportunity here. And I moved to California originally to make movies. I&#8217;ve made three movies in the last 15 years in L.A. So, as you know, it&#8217;s been difficult.”
<a class="c-link" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-12760">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Wahlberg concluded: &#8220;The kids are really happy, and it&#8217;s all about them.”
The leading man explained that he convinced other people to move with him, pointing out how much more house they can get for their money outside of California.
&#8220;When I moved here, I brought probably like 15 or 20 people that work with me also moving here,&#8221; Wahlberg told the outlet. &#8220;They went from three-bedroom houses that they were really struggling to pay rent for. And now they have a six-bedroom house. And it&#8217;s, you know, half the cost.&#8221;
&#8220;And, you know, they walk their dogs,&#8221; he went on. &#8220;They&#8217;re in a gated community. They&#8217;ve got the school right there two blocks down the road. It&#8217;s just a much better lifestyle here and more affordable.&#8221;
Multiple other celebrities have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hollywood-is-not-america-why-so-many-celebrities-are-leaving-los-angeles">raved about</a> the benefits of leaving Los Angeles, including Matthew McConaughey, James Van Der Beek, Katy Perry, Chris Hemsworth, Joe Rogan, and Katherine Heigl.

Southwest Airlines officials confirmed Wednesday that an off-duty pilot flying as a passenger on a flight out of Las Vegas helped take control of the aircraft shortly after takeoff when the plane&#8217;s captain suffered a medical emergency.
Southwest Flight 6013 departed Las Vegas, Nevada, around 6:30 a.m., heading to Columbus, Ohio, when the captain fainted from stomach pain, according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/southwest-pilot-suffers-medical-emergency-flight-off-duty/story?id=98073854">ABC</a>. Air traffic control audio obtained by <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/23/us/southwest-airlines-off-duty-pilot-steps-in-medical-emergency/index.html">CNN</a> recorded a flight crew member notifying officials that &#8220;the captain became incapacitated while en route.&#8221;
Chris Perry, a spokesperson for the airline, told <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/03/23/off-duty-pilot-helps-land-jet-after-captain-incapacitated/">The New York Post</a> a credentialed pilot from another airline flying with Southwest entered the cockpit and &#8220;assisted with radio communication while our Southwest Pilot flew the aircraft.&#8221;
According to air traffic audio reported by ABC, the unidentified off-duty pilot notified control tower operators that flight attendants were with the Southwest pilot in the back of the aircraft.
&#8220;But we need to get him on an ambulance immediately,&#8221; the pilot told air traffic controllers, according to air traffic audio.
Airline officials said the pilot re-routed the aircraft to Las Vegas, where emergency health crews stood by to attend to the captain&#8217;s medical needs. Southwest arranged an alternate flight crew to transport the passengers to their destination.
&#8220;We commend the crew for their professionalism and appreciate our customers&#8217; patience and understanding regarding the situation,&#8221; Southwest said in a statement.
Southwest officials did not immediately disclose the pilot&#8217;s condition.

Southwest told The Post it was &#8220;standard procedure&#8221; to &#8220;request assistance from traveling medical personnel during in-flight medical events.&#8221;
&#8220;This situation just so happened to involve one of our Employees,&#8221; the airline said
The <a href="https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-urges-airlines-pilots-and-others-take-key-safety-actions">Federal Aviation Administration</a> (FAA) has begun investigating the incident, reminding flight personnel of the &#8220;need for continued vigilance and attention to mitigation of safety risks.&#8221;
FAA authorities issued a safety alert amid six runway incidents since January, including &#8220;a near miss at JFK Airport in January, and a Southwest jet that recently came within 200 feet of slamming into an ambulance crossing the runway at Baltimore&#8217;s airport,&#8221; The Post reported.
&#8220;While the overall numbers do not reflect an increase in incidents and occurrences, the potential severity of these events is concerning,&#8221; the FAA said.

A former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood">actor</a> who appeared in the 1990 film “Dances With Wolves” was arrested by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/las-vegas">Las Vegas</a> police on Tuesday for allegedly running a sex cult.
Nathan Lee Chasing His Horse, better known as Nathan Chasing Horse, was arrested following a SWAT raid on his home in North Las Vegas, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/01/dances-with-wolves-actor-nathan-chasing-horse-arrested-for-sex-abuse/">reported</a>. Chasing Horse reportedly lived at the home with five wives, with one allegedly given to him as a “gift” when she was just 15 and another becoming his wife after she turned 16.
In a 50-page search warrant <a href="https://apnews.com/article/dances-with-wolves-actor-arrested-1bc3119c6308a0221b7ce1ec18d6d97e">obtained</a> by the Associated Press, authorities alleged that Chasing Horse is the leader of a cult called The Circle, where he used his position to allegedly abuse underage Native American girls. Authorities investigated Chasing Horse for months after receiving a tip in October 2022, though it is alleged that his crimes have been ongoing for about two decades.
Chasing Horse was known for his role as Smiles a Lot, a young Sioux tribe member, in the film “Dances With Wolves.” Following his appearance in the film, Chasing Horse was known as a medicine man among tribes in the U.S. and Canada, and would perform healing ceremonies and spiritual gatherings, the AP reported. It was in this position that Chasing Horse allegedly abused at least six victims, including at least one as young as 13.
“Nathan Chasing Horse used spiritual traditions and their belief system as a tool to sexually assault young girls on numerous occasions,” the search warrant said, according to the AP.
The search warrant added that Chasing Horse’s followers apparently believed he could actually communicate with higher beings, and called him “Medicine Man” or “Holy Person.”
Chasing Horse was arrested for crimes allegedly committed in Clark County, Nevada, but the search warrant reportedly includes information pertaining to crimes committed in other states, including Montana and South Dakota and other parts of Nevada. Chasing Horse is accused of sex trafficking and sexual assault of a child younger than 16, as well as child abuse. In addition, he is alleged to have recorded sexual assaults and arranged for other men to have sex with the victims for a fee.
The warrant also alleged that Chasing Horse was kicked off the Fort Peck Reservation in Poplar, Montana, in 2015 after being accused of human trafficking.
Chasing Horse was born on South Dakota’s Rosebud Reservation and is a member of the Sicangu Sioux tribe, one of the seven tribes of the Lakota nation, the AP reported.

Several players from the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/las-vegas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Las Vegas</a> Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs prayed on the field Saturday evening at the conclusion of the matchup between the two teams following Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin’s medical emergency during a game earlier this week.
Fox Sports <a href="https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/raiders-chiefs-honor-bills-safety-damar-hamlin-as-nfl-resumes-play" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that players from both teams wore athletic gear that featured statements like &#8220;Love for Damar&#8221; and &#8220;Hamlin Strong&#8221; as a way of showing support prior to kickoff.
The report said that the first digit of the 30-yard lines at Allegiant Stadium were painted blue because that was the Buffalo Bills&#8217; color. The stadium announcer also led fans and players to cheer for Hamlin.
&#8220;Putting love into the world comes back 3xs as much… thankful for everyone who has reached out and prayed,&#8221; Hamlin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-bills-safety-damar-hamlin-posts-on-social-media-for-first-time-since-cardiac-arrest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> during the game. &#8220;This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me!&#8221;
At the end of the game, several of the players were spotted praying at the center field.

Hamlin collapsed with about six minutes left in the first quarter of this week’s Monday Night Football game after he tackled Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins following a 13-yard catch. After the tackle, Hamlin got up, took a step backward, and fell to the ground.
Dr. Timothy A. Pritts and Dr. William Knight, two of the doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center treating Hamlin, held a press conference Thursday to give an update on his health status.
The doctors <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doctors-treating-damar-hamlin-give-update-on-his-health-address-question-of-what-caused-cardiac-arrest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that Hamlin was able to move his hands and feet and was able to communicate through writing, but they said it was too early to know if he would make a full recovery.
“When he asked did we win, the answer is, yes, you know, Damar, you won, you’ve won the game of life,” Pritts said.
“We know that he’s home and that appears that all cylinders are firing within his brain,” Pritts said. “Which is greatly gratifying for all of us, for the nurses and respiratory therapists and caregivers as for his family and for everybody else beyond.”
When the doctors were asked about what caused Hamlin to go into cardiac arrest, they said that they do not know, but that answers could emerge in the future.
“The answer to that is that workup is ongoing,” Dr. William Knight answered. “We do not have definitive answers as to the etiology of the arrest at this time and that tests will continue to be ongoing as he continues to progress.”

The Bail Project, an organization that <a href="https://bailproject.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">openly states</a> that it wants to “disrupt the money bail system” and is <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11573851/The-Bail-Project-shuts-Las-Vegas-chapter-releasing-man-went-nearly-kill-waiter.html">backed by celebrities</a> including John Legend, Danny Glover, and Richard Branson, has closed its Las Vegas chapter after being sued for posting bond for a career criminal who shot an Asian waiter six days later.
Rashawn Gaston-Anderson was arrested in November 2021 for burglary and theft, just one day after he had been arrested for carrying a concealed weapon but released without having to pay bail. The Bail Project paid the $3,000 to free him after the burglary and theft arrest. Six days later, he shot Chengyan Wang at the Shanghai Taste restaurant 11 times. Wang miraculously survived and is now suing the Bail Project.
Gaston-Anderson, 24, pleaded guilty and was sentenced earlier this month to seven to 18 years behind bars for the shooting.
The Bail Project used “no due diligence in determining whether Rashawn Gaston-Anderson would be a danger to the community and likely re-offend,” the lawsuit states.
In an interview at the Clark County Detention Center, Anderson <a href="https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/non-profit-that-bailed-out-man-who-shot-chinatown-waiter-ceases-operations-following-backlash-from-critics/">said</a> the public advised him to seek out The Bail Project because he could not co-sign for himself.
Wang told <a href="https://news3lv.com/news/local/man-convicted-in-chinatown-waiter-shooting-gets-prison-sentence-las-vegas-shanghai-taste-rashon-gaston-anderson-lvmpd-metro-police-southern-nevada-clark-county-courts">News 3</a> that his lungs and his stomach had been hit by the hail of bullets.
“I can still vividly remember when the first police officer on the scene immediately helped me stop the bleeding on my neck and helped me put pressure on other ones,” he <a href="https://news3lv.com/news/local/man-who-shot-chinatown-waiter-seven-times-reaches-plea-agreement-las-vegas-southern-nevada-rashawn-gaston-anderson-chengyan-wang-lvmpd-metro-police-courts">recalled</a>.
The regional director for the West for The Bail Project, Cameron Pipe, stated, “It’s an absolute tragedy and The Bail Project, myself speaking for The Bail Project found it absolutely shocking.” Queried as to whether any red flags had been noted regarding Gaston-Anderson before The Bail Project posted his bond, Pipes <a href="https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/non-profit-that-bailed-out-man-who-shot-chinatown-waiter-ceases-operations-following-backlash-from-critics/">replied</a>, “Every single decision that we make at The Bail Project goes through the exact same thorough review.”
A local Las Vegas bail bonds business commented on The Bail Project’s actions vis-à-vis Gaston-Anderson. Manny Ceballos, the owner of Aztec Bail Bonds, asserted, “We pick and choose who we want to do business with. We just don&#8217;t bail out habitual problem cases.” His wife, Lilia, added, “I don&#8217;t think they care and truly don&#8217;t care because some man nearly lost his life.”
“We provide free bail assistance and what we call community release with support which includes rides to and from court, court notifications and we attempt to navigate services in the community based on our clients’ self-identified needs,” Katie Poor, the deputy general counsel for The Bail Project, stated.

A Baltimore woman is now facing multiple charges after being accused of hiding a stolen Rolex watch inside her body on Sunday after previously being arrested in June and accused of stealing a $100,000 watch.
Sara Richards, 33, was in Las Vegas to face charges in court on December 12 for allegedly stealing a wristwatch valued at $100,000 from a man she met in the casinos while she was visiting the city back in June, <a href="https://www.wfsb.com/2022/12/14/woman-charged-with-stealing-12000-rolex-watch-hiding-it-inside-herself-police-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WFSB</a> reported.
However, while Richards was in town to deal with those criminal charges, she allegedly added to that list after being accused of hiding a $12,000 Rolex watch and placing it in an unexpected place — inside her genitals — police shared with the outlet.

In June, a man claimed to police to have been drugged by a woman he met at a Vegas hotel casino and had his Patek Philippe wristwatch, valued at $100,000, stolen, the outlet noted.
He said he fell asleep in his room and woke up the next day to find his expensive watch — which he remembered as being on his wrist — was gone. The woman he met was identified as Richards, the outlet noted.
On Monday, the Baltimore woman was supposed to appear for a preliminary hearing in the case. However, on Sunday, police responded to different hotel after a 911 call came in from a man that his $12,000 Rolex had reportedly been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-biden-official-sam-brinton-out-of-a-job-after-multiple-alleged-luggage-thefts-at-airports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stolen</a> from his room — along with other items — by a woman who was later identified as Richards.
Security located the woman, but couldn&#8217;t find any watch on her. A search of the room by police didn&#8217;t result in finding the watch either. However, a metal detector wand passed over Richards &#8220;kept alarming around her vaginal region,&#8221; police shared.
It was then that Richards finally told police that they &#8220;were going to find it anyways at jail, and she did not want to go through the hassle,&#8221; the outlet noted. She then agreed to remove the watch from inside her body.
The December 12 court hearing was canceled. Richards has since posted bond, and is scheduled to now appear in court Jan. 10. She is facing a host of charges including theft of over $100,000 in value, residential burglary, administering drugs to aid in commission of a felony, and grand larceny between $5,000 to $25,000, the outlet noted.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said that the Oakland Athletics, whose attendance in 2022 plunged to the lowest level of any team in 18 years, would have to consider moving to Las Vegas.
The Athletics’ lease at the RingCentral Coliseum expires in 2024.
Speaking of the A’s and the Tampa Bay Rays, interviewer Chris Russo asked if Las Vegas and Nashville were alternatives for the teams, saying, “You can’t have baseball being played in that ballpark. This has got to end eventually.”
“I do want to say this: I think the mayor in Oakland has made a huge effort to try to get it done in Oakland. It just doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen,” Manfred replied. “I’m not positive about it. I think the A’s have proceeded prudently in terms of exploring the Las Vegas alternative; given the lack of pace in Oakland I think they have to look for an alternative.”
Manfred said that Tampa’s problems could be surmounted even by staying in the same city: “I see Tampa differently; I think a properly located facility in Tampa, that Tampa’s a viable major-league market. I got a lot of faith in Stu Sternberg; I think they will find a place to get a ballpark built and I think baseball can thrive in Tampa.”
“If Oakland does leave, when would that be?” asked Russo.
“Look, Oakland — it’s hard to say,” Manfred admitted.
“Within five years?” Russo pressed.
“Oh yeah, oh yeah. Something has to happen. We can’t go five more years in the Coliseum,” Manfred answered.
“You think at the end of the day Oakland’s going to Vegas,” Russo stated.
“I didn’t say that — what I said is, and I stand by it, is given the lack of pace in Oakland, the lack of certainty, they have to be looking at Las Vegas as an alternative because they can’t continue to play in a facility they’re in,” Manfred concluded.

The storied Athletics franchise, despite its mildly peripatetic history, has been one of the most successful teams in baseball. The team started as one of the American league’s charter franchises as the Philadelphia Athletics in 1901. Legendary owner and manager Connie Mack ran the team for 5o years; they won the World Series in 1910, 1911, and 1913, then fielded one of the greatest teams of all time in their World Series winners of 1929-1930.
In 1955, the team moved to Kansas City, where they experienced 13 lean years before they moved to Oakland in 1968. Their legendary 1972-1974 teams were the last teams to win three consecutive World Series titles. They also won the World Series in 1989, giving the franchise nine World Series titles, trailing only the New York Yankees (27) and the St. Louis Cardinals (11).
As far back as October 2019, Manfred made noise about the Athletics moving to Las Vegas, hinting that the city needed to jettison its <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-s-curveball-City-sues-county-over-14481751.php">lawsuit</a> targeting Alameda County so the county would not sell the Coliseum arena site to the Athletics or the team would move to Las Vegas.
“He kind of laid down the law,” City Councilman Larry Reid stated, according to the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/philmatier/article/The-Las-Vegas-A-s-Baseball-commissioner-tells-14494415.php?utm_campaign=CMS%20Sharing%20Tools%20(Mobile)&amp;utm_source=t.co&amp;utm_medium=referral">San Francisco Chronicle</a>, adding, “The commissioner pointed out that Bay Area fans will soon be going to Las Vegas to see the Raiders and that unless things changed, Bay Area fans may be going to Las Vegas or elsewhere to see the A’s as well.”

The ex of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ocasio-cortez-appears-to-think-that-democrats-have-lost-their-majority-in-the-house-of-representatives/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democrat congressman</a> unleashed on the politician Sunday morning after he and his attorney allegedly tried to get her to keep quiet about his bad behavior during their marriage.
Sonya Douglass, a professor and director of the Black Education Research Center at Columbia University Teachers College, accused ex-husband <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pelosi-silent-as-non-partisan-group-calls-for-investigation-into-democrat-steven-horsfords-sex-scandal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Steven Horsford</a> (D-NV) of trying to strongarm her into silence in a devastating tweet thread.
“I was just minding my business until Steven and his attorney demanded I sign an NDA that would ban me from speaking about my 22-year marriage, his 10-year affair, and our divorce FOREVER,” Douglass wrote. “It includes $10,000 fines for each remark or social post. Even to a therapist! Y’all!

“I had no intention of posting anything and kept quiet the entire campaign,” she continued. “To think I would even want to mention his name is ridiculous. Who looks through the trash after you’ve taken it out? But I don’t respond well to bullying or intimidation so here we are.”
The pair married in 2000, and it is not clear if they are now officially divorced. On Saturday, Douglass <a href="https://twitter.com/drsonyadouglass/status/1586369939811622912" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> that she would be released &#8220;from this never-ending nightmare&#8221; as soon as Horsford signs the divorce papers. In 2020, Horsford, who is seeking a third term representing parts of Las Vegas in the upcoming election, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-congressman-steven-horsford-admits-sex-scandal-with-ex-senate-intern-resignation-calls-grow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted to a more than a decade-long extramarital affair</a> with Gabriela Linder, a former intern of the late Democrat Senate Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid.
<a href="https://www.rollcall.com/2020/05/21/horsfords-extramarital-affair-with-former-senate-staffer-shows-how-narrow-house-rules-are/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Linder claimed</a> Horsford &#8220;offered her financial support, introduced her to political connections and filmed a segment for her young son&#8217;s YouTube show using his congressional staff.&#8221; Horsford admitted paying Linder with funds from a company he controlled.
Horsford, a member of the House Congressional Progressive Caucus, is currently running against Republican challenger Sam Peters, a retired Air Force major and Bronze Star recipient. Pollsters currently categorize the race as “lean Democrat,” but with Republicans building momentum around the nation and a potential “red wave” taking shape, the devastating claim by Douglass comes at a bad time for Horsford.
In the Silver State, incumbent Governor Steve Sisolak is trailing Republican challenger Joe Lombardo and current Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat, is behind in the polls to Republican challenger Adam Laxalt.
“The only thing Steven Horsford does well is lie,” Peters’ campaign tweeted days before Douglass came forward.
Douglass alluded to a possible loss by Horsford in a subsequent tweet that also hinted Horsford had been violent.
“And he’s already blaming me should he lose his race,” she wrote. “Refuses to take responsibility for his own actions. He had hundreds of chances to do the right thing but he chose violence.”
Douglass finished the extraordinary unburdening by assuring followers she is coping with the personal turmoil from her broken marriage.
“But through it all, I am stronger, wiser, and happier than I’ve ever been in my entire adult life,” she wrote. “I pray my journey encourages others to trust God and accept nothing less than the peace, respect, and love we all deserve.”

A group of divers discovered another set of skeletal remains in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lake-mead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lake Mead</a> last week, marking the latest findings as the sixth set recovered since May.
A park service dive team searched the lake after a commercial diver found &#8220;what appeared to be a human bone in the Callville Bay area&#8221; on October 17, the Lake Mead National Park Service told Fox LA.
&#8220;At this time, no foul play is suspected,&#8221; Stefani Dawn, a Park Service spokesperson, told <a href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-nevada/human-remains-found-by-divers-at-lake-mead-2665166/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Las Vegas Review-Journal</a>. &#8220;The Clark County coroner&#8217;s office has been contacted to confirm the identity of the deceased.&#8221;
According to Clark County Public Affairs Officer Stacey Welling, the divers were performing contract work at the marina in Calville Bay when they discovered the initial evidence of the human remains.
While the details of the latest discovery are still unknown, the grim finding comes after five other sets of human remains have been found since May.
Historic drought levels have impacted the shrinking Colorado River reservoir near the Hoover Dam, drying up local waterbeds into deserts.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation <a href="https://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/riverops/hourly7.html#t0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> Lake Mead&#8217;s water levels hit a historic low, roughly 1,046 feet, which has left mountains surrounding the area with an imprint showing how far the levels have dropped.
According to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/historic-lake-mead-drought-leads-disturbing-discoveries-dried/story?id=92124028" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>, D.J. Jenner, the owner of Las Vegas Scuba, said that he had witnessed the water levels sink down to approximately 40 feet after observing the lake for years when he first opened his business.
&#8220;There&#8217;s still plenty of water out here for people to come out and enjoy the lake, but it is going down pretty quickly,&#8221; he said.
Park services officials first announced that a group of boaters discovered the first body with a gunshot wound inside a metal barrel stuck in the mud near the lake&#8217;s Hemenway Harbor on May 1.
Detectives on the case believe the victim may have been murdered sometime between the mid-1970s to the early 1980s based on the clothing and footwear found with the body, a local NBC affiliate reports.
Less than a week later, authorities found a second set of remains that surfaced at Callville Bay, which a local County coroner said she believes belong to someone between 23 and 38 years old.
National Park Service authorities announced nearly two months later that rangers responded to a report on July 25 of the third set of human remains found at the park&#8217;s Swim Beach area in Boulder City, Nevada.
On August 16, park rangers responded to a report of the discovery of human skeletal remains in the Swim Beach area of Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
NASA, which recently released satellite images of the drought&#8217;s impact on Lake Mead, reports that the lake holds the record for the largest reservoir in the U.S. The reservoir supplies water to millions of people across seven states, tribal lands, and northern Mexico.
Lake Mead hit its peak in the 1980s, with levels reaching 1,225 feet above sea level. However, NASA satellite imagery shows a dramatic decrease in water levels as lakeshore areas have mineralized over the past 22 years.
The reservoir hit its lowest drop since April 1937 while the lake was still filling for the first time during the construction of the Hoover Dam.

A Las Vegas woman who reportedly left a restaurant without paying in August, then claimed she was arrested because “officers were perverts and were trying to rape her” as she was so pretty is now accused of murdering her mother.
In August, Hend Bustami, 28, was arrested at the Harry Reid International Airport after reportedly leaving a Chili’s restaurant without paying her bill. After a search, police were notified by TSA that a woman matching the description of the suspect was sleeping near the security checkpoint. The police discovered Bustami in the baggage claim area.
According to the police report, Bustami stated that she was arrested because of her good looks, <a href="https://ktla.com/news/las-vegas-police-woman-tells-officers-she-was-under-arrest-due-to-good-looks/">KTLA</a> reported. She declared “that she was going to spit on all [the officers] and that officers were perverts and were trying to rape her because they [had] never seen anyone as good looking.”

At roughly 2:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, Bustami’s 62-year-old mother’s body was found with “deep lacerations” in a home. Hend Bustami was apprehended at roughly 5 a.m. in Barstow, California.
The Las Vegas Metro Police stated that the department had received a call from someone claiming a person was injured in the residence. When the officers arrived at the scene, they found an unresponsive female “suffering from multiple lacerations.” The police’s homicide department investigated and stated an apparent verbal dispute between Bustami and her mother had occurred.
“Bustami will be charged with open murder and extradited back to Clark County,” the police statement said.
Bustami worked as a DJ under the name Afrodyte. On her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/afrodytemusic/">Facebook page</a>, she wrote in July:
<blockquote>
The choices we make in life, can often lead us down an interesting windy road. A road we often didn’t think we would find ourself walking down alone. It is not a reflection of who you are solely but the places you’ve been and the people you’ve encountered along the way. There’s a lesson in everything we do and often times we must endure the impossible and the most painful of situations even when we feel like we cannot at the moment or aren’t strong enough to withstand yet another blow.
Find confidence in your struggles and let them empower you. Embrace your resilience. You may cry or scream or be in the pain the whole time, just don’t forget to keep going. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/keepswimming?__eep__=6&amp;__cft__%5B0%5D=AZUbPiP6BDwEAOeMK-amcW5AN6vuAw78U1C8ykxo898VmEWR14keNhGazV-QSUzkkwY9j3sQ0A2suNbauL0On7GfFGQTMKoae5pizery69aiv3aVG1T8aIeVnz72Yury5i9a1OcmHiUHBHp4ziUEmgRdLdeKz36-WRu5-W6el9dmkKN5w5_Chg3WuxGuQw5OgxCUjWuSoxYbjVvJxpk6OYrf&amp;__tn__=*NK-R">#keepswimming</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/myfishes?__eep__=6&amp;__cft__%5B0%5D=AZUbPiP6BDwEAOeMK-amcW5AN6vuAw78U1C8ykxo898VmEWR14keNhGazV-QSUzkkwY9j3sQ0A2suNbauL0On7GfFGQTMKoae5pizery69aiv3aVG1T8aIeVnz72Yury5i9a1OcmHiUHBHp4ziUEmgRdLdeKz36-WRu5-W6el9dmkKN5w5_Chg3WuxGuQw5OgxCUjWuSoxYbjVvJxpk6OYrf&amp;__tn__=*NK-R">#myfishes</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/todaysanotherday?__eep__=6&amp;__cft__%5B0%5D=AZUbPiP6BDwEAOeMK-amcW5AN6vuAw78U1C8ykxo898VmEWR14keNhGazV-QSUzkkwY9j3sQ0A2suNbauL0On7GfFGQTMKoae5pizery69aiv3aVG1T8aIeVnz72Yury5i9a1OcmHiUHBHp4ziUEmgRdLdeKz36-WRu5-W6el9dmkKN5w5_Chg3WuxGuQw5OgxCUjWuSoxYbjVvJxpk6OYrf&amp;__tn__=*NK-R">#todaysanotherday</a>
