The Republican National Committee’s head of election security, Christina Bobb, a former attorney of Donald Trump, has been receiving ridiculed on social media following her arraignment for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona by sending a slate of fake electors from the state.
Bobb was a lawyer for Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign. When she worked for One America News, she reported on an audit of the Arizona election results while also raising money for the audit.
From there, the former Trump lawyer became a part of the fake elector plot and the “command center” at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., during the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.
Her mugshot was taken this week after she and ten other people who appeared in court virtually were arraigned at a Maricopa County, Arizona, courthouse. At the same time, she pleaded not guilty to the charges against her.

Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who played a pivotal role in former President Donald Trump’s schemes to steal the 2020 election, was having a blast evading Arizona law enforcement last week.
According to two people who talked to him about it — including during his 80th birthday bash this past Friday — the former top Trump attorney was absolutely jubilant about his success in dodging being served his indictment in the Grand Canyon State’s sprawling election-subversion case. Right up until Friday, Giuliani had even been soliciting additional ideas from...

“
hysicians are now on notice that all abortions, except those necessary to save a woman’s life, are illegal,” the court’s opinion read.

Two decades ago, one jilted heart found its way to Italy as part of the iconic, genre-redefining film “Under the Tuscan Sun.” Starring Diane Lane as Frances, a San Francisco writer who jets to Europe after realizing her soon-to-be ex-husband is cheating on her, the 2003 film cemented the early aughts’ obsession with starting over again. “Under the Tuscan Sun” was based on a real-life Frances, author Frances Mayes to be exact, whose memoir was adapted by late writer-director Audrey Wells for the big screen.
Frances, newly jilted and with the emotional support of her best friend Patti (Sandra Oh), escapes both midlife crises and bad American men by traveling across the globe for a luxury vacation. She falls in love with a Tuscan villa and opts to renovate it while bonding with locals, including the seductive Marcello (Raoul Bova).

Former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich failed to report evidence disproving claims of election fraud in the state, instead releasing a letter in April 2022 alleging “serious vulnerabilities” in the states voting systems, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
Brnovich, then a Republican candidate in the Arizona Republican Senate primary, omitted findings from his office’s investigation refuting claims of election fraud and misconduct in the 2020 election from the version of the report he submitted to the state Senate.

Locked and loaded with a decent screenplay, Michael Winner and Charles Bronson acquit themselves well in this brutal 1974 hit that launched a decade’s worth of nasty vigilante movies. The lynch-mob formula presents crimes so awful that the audience demands violent retribution. The shock is that this incitement to ‘fight back’ is not direct right-wing propaganda — vigilantism is glamorized but not endorsed. A fine supporting cast includes Vincent Gardenia, Steven Keats and unexpected treats like Olympia Dukakis and Jeff Goldblum. “Fill your hand!”

Anna Camp and Rob Mayes have paired up for an emotional project. “5,000 Blankets,” which debuts in theaters for two nights only (Dec. 12 and 13), is inspired by the real events that led to the Phillip’s Wish foundation.
The film follows a determined woman, Cyndi Bunch (Camp), who sets out to find her husband, Bobby (Mayes) after he’s had a mental breakdown and gone missing.
