DIY: Fabric Book Covers

DIY 2 Minutes

Supplies for Making Fabric Book Covers

The first thing you need to make fabric book covers is obviously the fabric. It’s the perfect thing for a fabric remnant that’s not big enough for making a pillow but you love enough to put on display. Medium weight fabrics work best (you want a fabric that’s heavy enough that you can’t see through it but also isn’t too bulky). You’ll also need a pair of sharp fabric scissors, a tape measure,  ⅝″ roll of Stitch Witchery, and an iron.

Step 1. Cut and Iron Your Fabric Piece

Measure height of your book and the “wrap-around” width of it from edge to edge with the book closed (19″ in this case):

Next, cut a piece of fabric that’s 1 ½” taller than your height measurement and 8” wider than your width measurement. If you have wrinkles in your fabric, iron them out.

Step 2. Fold & Iron The Long Edges

Lay your fabric out on an ironing board with the unfinished side facing up. Iron a ¾” fold along the entire length of both the top and bottom edges of the fabric:

Once you’re done ironing, your piece of fabric will look like this:

Step 3. Bond the Edges

Next, take a length of the Stitch Witchery and place it under one of the fabric folds that you just created starting 4” in from each end (so your Stitch Witchery piece should be 8″ shorter than the fabric length):

To activate the Stitch Witchery adhesive, place a damp cloth on top of the fold with the Stitch Witchery tucked inside and press with an iron on the “wool” setting for about 20 seconds. Continue bonding the fold down the length of the fabric piece and then repeat on along the length of the second folded edge.

Step 4. Create The Book End “Pockets”

The last step is to create pockets that the book cover can fit into on both ends to keep it in place. To do this, fold your fabric over 4″ from the end and place a 4″ piece of Stitch Witchery inside the t0p of the fold (it’s hard to see the Stitch Witchery but if you look closely you can see a white gauzy area where it’s placed). Bond the fabric using an iron and damp cloth as described above.

Repeat this with three other 4″ Stitch Witchery pieces – one for the top of the fold and one for the bottom of the fold on each end of the book cover. The finished ends of your book cover will look like this when you’re done:

Place the ends of your book into your beautiful new fabric cover – you’re done!

    Federal prosecutors say a Detroit-based middle eastern ring stole 400 cars worth $40M from 2023–2025, shipping them to the Middle East disguised as “auto parts.”

    Those charged are Mohammed Al Hilo (36), Mohammed Al Ali (35), Mohammed Al Abboodi (35), Haydar Al Haydari (41), Karar Alnakash (43), Abbas Al Othman (42), Moustapha Al Felawi (46), Terrill Davis (33), and David Roshinsky William (32).

    MASSIVE NEWS: Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL) is filing legislation to TARGET any judge who releases violent criminals who go on to commit more crime – after the murder of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte. “Those 12+ judges that released Decarlos Brown Jr. should have their day in court too.” LONG OVERDUE. “It’s easy to release criminals when you’re protected by an armed bailiff at all times. The rest of us aren’t so lucky.” This should pass with FLYING COLORS. But we all know how Democrats will vote.

  8. Clearly, there are still Biden holdovers @ DOJ!!!!

    EXCERPT: “The Trump Justice Department is attempting to abandon its previous defenses of the Biden-era prosecution of Peter Navarro — even as the Trump DOJ seeks to appoint an outside lawyer to continue to affirm his conviction on appeal,

    But Navarro, a Trump White House adviser,  doesn’t want to let the DOJ walk away without explaining itself.

    Navarro — a top adviser to Donald Trump during his first administration as well as in his second — was charged by Biden’s Justice Department in 2022 for refusal to comply with a subpoena issued by the Democrat-led House select committee investigating January 6, 2021. 

    Navarro repeatedly asserted claims of executive privilege, but President Joe Biden and his DOJ rejected this assertion, and Navarro was convicted in 2023 and sentenced in 2024, when he spent four months behind bars. The trial judge was Judge Amit P. Mehta, who was appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in 2014 by then-President Barack Obama.

    Trump’s DOJ seeks affirmance of conviction but on other grounds

    Navarro, who is currently an Assistant to President Trump and the Director of the White House’s Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, appealed his conviction in 2024.

    The Biden DOJ filed a lengthy brief defending its prosecution of Navarro last year. The Trump DOJ has now told the appeals court that it wants to abandon the arguments put forward by the Biden DOJ, but that it also wants an outside lawyer to argue to sustain Navarro’s conviction during the ongoing appeals process at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Navarro has objected to the appointment of an outside attorney.

    Navarro doesn’t want to let the DOJ walk away without explaining its own position on the controversy. Navarro first filed his appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in January 2024.

    “I Went To Prison So You Won’t Have To” is not just the title of my new book — it’s why I’ve kept fighting this appeal even after serving my sentence. If I lose, future presidential advisers of either party could face jail for honoring executive privilege and defending the Constitution’s separation of powers,” Navarro told Just the News.

    Navarro added: “This isn’t just a legal duty — it’s a moral one. DOJ opposed my release pending appeal by falsely insisting there were no substantial questions of law. Now, by trying to withdraw its own brief without explanation, it admits those questions exist. I can’t get back the four months I lost in prison to the Democrat’s lawfare, but DOJ can and must explain itself.”  

    DOJ’s lawyer turns out to be donor to Biden, other Democrats …….”

  11. Brownstone Journal, By James Bovard, September 1, 2025

    EXCERPT: “Almost one-third of government schools nationwide are now surveilling the mental health of students. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker recently signed a bill to bring “universal mental health screening” to two million Illinois students as part of his Children’s Behavioral Health Transformation Initiative.

    But this rescue effort will ravage many students and is a warning shot to parents across the nation. Manhattan Institute fellow Abigail Shrier warned that the new Illinois law will mean “tens of thousands of Illinois kids get shoved into the mental health funnel and convinced they are sick. Many or most will be false positives.”

    If politicians want to help kids, they must recognize how government schools systematically undermine students’ mental health. 

    The Covid school lockdowns nuked the mental health of millions of young Americans. A 2024 JAMA Original Investigation found that between 2018 and 2021, young people saw an almost 300% increase in the number of hospital emergency visits for eating disorders and suicidal ideation. Suicide attempts increased 250% during that time. Depression and anxiety skyrocketed among youth from the start of the pandemic, but politicians and policymakers ignored the mental carnage that Covid policies inflicted.

    A 2021 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey found that 44% of high school students said they “persistently felt sad or hopeless in the past year.” Females were almost twice as likely to be depressed, with 57% “persistently felt sad and hopeless” versus 31% of male students. School shutdowns dismally failed to thwart the spread of Covid. After schools reopened, students were hassled to comply with idiotic mask mandates that did nothing except multiply anxiety. 

    Schools are subverting students’ mental health by endlessly hectoring them to doubt or despise their own bodies. These school antics reached epidemic level even before the start of the Covid pandemic. In 2019, the state of Maryland issued regulations to promote “viewing each student’s” “gender identity and expression” as “valuable.” Government officials and political appointees arrogated to themselves the prerogative to redefine gender in the state of Maryland.

    Montgomery County, the largest school system in the state, announced that it would choose books for the curriculum “through an ‘LGBTQ+ Lens’ and ask whether books ‘reinforced or disrupted’ ‘stereotypes,’ ‘cisnormativity,’ and ‘power hierarchies,’” according to a brief filed at the Supreme Court by parents who successfully challenged the school system. That brief also noted that “teachers are told to frame disagreement with [pro-LGBTQ] ideas as ‘hurtful,’ and to counter with examples of ‘men who paint their nails’ or ‘wear dresses.’” The goal is to instill in children “a new perspective not easily contravened by their parents,” as the county school board admitted. 

    The indoctrination produced a 582% increase in the number of kids self-identifying as “non-binary” in Montgomery County schools. “Disrupting children’s thinking” has been so successful that almost half of the students identified themselves as non-binary. But non-binary kids are far more likely to suffer mental illness. One survey found that more than half of transgender and non-binary youth considered committing suicide in 2022. That has not stopped other school systems from openly or covertly campaigning to sway children to repent or revolt from how they were born. 

    Schools have bludgeoned kids with “Chicken Little – The Sky is Falling!” environmental propaganda for decades. The result, according to the American Psychological Association, is that 58% of American youth are “very or extremely worried about climate change” and 43% said “climate change impacted their mental health.” Harvard Medical Magazine reports that for many young people, “worry over threats of future climate change results in panic attacks, insomnia, obsessive thinking, and other symptoms.”

    Schools hold up as a role model Greta Thunberg, the deranged Swedish teenager whose incoherent ravings against the modern world turned her into a saint. It is irrelevant to school masterminds that many of the environmental alarms have proven to be bogus or wildly exaggerated.

    Children have been taught to dread, and they have been taught to implore politicians to rescue them – two very bad outcomes for mental health. Surveys by Eco-America indicate that between 57% and 70% of teens aged 13 to 17 “report anxiety symptoms linked to climate.” Ella Emhoff, the stepdaughter of former Vice President Kamala Harris, recently lamented on TikTok: “I think everything with the environment is really f—ing getting to me, and it is — I experience a lot of climate anxiety, like all of us do.” Turning climate anxiety into virtue signaling guarantees there will be no shortage of angst…..”

  12. “Utilitarian Bioethics, Medical Socialism and the State: Greatest happiness for the greatest number is a path to medical totalitarianism”

    Robert W Malone MD, MS, Sep 08, 2025

    “Leaders create culture. Culture drives behavior. Behavior produces results.” — Urban Meyer

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reorganization efforts are being politicized by the very people and politicians who are accusing their opponents of politicizing the CDC.

    These accusations of politicizing “The Science” are being levied against those attempting to reform a dysfunctional bureaucracy that came off the rails during the Biden administration, driving a wide range of clearly unscientific policies that damaged people’s health, deeply damaged trust in the public health enterprise, damaged the economy, and, in particular, damaged children. An agency that has presided over an extended period of declining health, longevity, and, recently, an increase in childhood mortality.

    Those crying J’Accuse! at the reformers cloak themselves in the vestments of scientism. But underpinning the current CDC reorganization effort are multiple unacknowledged cultural shifts. These shifts have nothing to do with either science or “The Science”. They have everything to do with culture and ethics.

    “Beyond shame there is politics.” — Gerard de Marigny, Joshua’s Country

    At the surface, there is the major cultural and organizational realignment toward merit-based hiring and promotion being forced on uncooperative, unrepentant academia as well as the federal bureaucracy, which are still invested in the primacy of diversity, equity and inclusion hiring and promotion policies (DEI) as a way to correct historic ethnic differences in economic outcomes.

    Merit-based hiring is predicated in equality of opportunity, DEI hiring is based on equality of outcomes. Under the Obama/Biden administration, the public health service, and the CDC in particular, became intensely invested in DEI rather than in merit-based hiring and promotion. The results have been disastrous.

    The most egregious recent example being the hiring and promotion of a proudly public sado-masochist practitioner of satanism to serve as the principle advisor to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on policy matters relating to COVID, and White House Czar on policy matters relating to monkeypox, and played a key role in overseeing vaccine safety monitoring policy and operations, each of which public health challenges were highly politicized and grossly mismanaged.

    Sadomasochism is the giving or receiving of pleasure (including but not exclusively sexual pleasure) from acts involving the receipt or infliction of pain or humiliation. Satanism is the worship or veneration of Satan, a figure from Christian belief who is also commonly known as the Devil or Lucifer and considered the embodiment of evil by those of Christian faith. Suffice to say, the vast majority of American citizens regard both of these as inappropriate fundamental value and belief systems for someone entrusted with protecting the health of the citizenry on behalf of the State. Those with these fundamental philosophical belief structures may be underrepresented in the US public health service (PHS), but being underrepresented is not the same as being qualified.

    If this is not self-evident, then I do not know what is. The decision to hire and promote a person deeply invested in these moral, philosophical and religious beliefs to serve in a public health leadership role fails on the grounds of merit and propriety. This lack of merit has nothing to do with personal private sexual preferences, but the appearance is that the preferential DEI-based employment policies that became normative during the Obama/Biden administration may have taken such matters into account.

    But deeper than DEI is the insidious creep of woke socialist (truth be told, communist) bioethics into CDC, PHS and HHS culture.

    This perverse new strain of academic bioethics is being advanced to justify a wide range of “public health” positions involving official State promulgation of policies ostensibly promoting “the greatest happiness for the greatest number.” This virulent new medical bioethics logic is being used to justify inserting the State, corporations, and non-governmental organizations (such as teachers unions) into what has previously been a private 1:1, individual-focused relationship between medical care providers and their patients. All justified by radicalized socialist utilitarianism.

    As commonly observed in all bureaucracies, mission creep and incremental expansion of what may seem to be a practical initial policy position eventually leads to bureaucratic totalitarian overreach by the State, such as was clearly observed during the COVID crisis. But in the case of the CDC and the “Public Health Service” (PHS) officer core, this overreach extends to asserting that the State has jurisdiction over the physical bodies of individual citizens.

    Furthermore, following the leadership and examples promoted by the CDC and PHS, this logic has pervaded the entire United States medical system down to the level of medical student teaching.”

  13. “New Postal Rule Is An Admission That Mail Voting Is A Mess — This problems with postmarks are more reason why we should limit voting by mail to absentee voting with an excuse.”

    The Federalist, By: Ned Jones, September 08, 2025

    mailboxes

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “The United States Postal Service has announced a proposed new section to its mailing standards that would have a major impact on the return of mail-in ballots, as it would shift the responsibility to the voter to confirm the exact receival date by the postal service.

    USPS realizes that with their new mail processing system, the postmark is no longer proof of the date that it received a piece of mail. Their solution is to make the customer — in the case of ballots the voter — responsible for confirming the receipt date of their piece of mail. It will be up to the voter to obtain proof of date of receipt, or without it, a ballot may not be counted.

    “While the presence of a postmark on a mailpiece confirms that the postal service was in possession of the mailpiece on the date of the postmark’s inscription, the postmark date does not inherently or necessarily align with the date on which USPS first accepted possession of a mailpiece,” the proposal notes.

    Voters can confirm the exact date that the postal service first accepted possession of their ballot in various ways. The customer can hand the ballot or mail to a postal clerk at the post office and request a manual postmark, purchase a “Certificate of Mailing,” or pay extra for registered or certified mail.

    The postal service’s postmark has been considered the mail date for payments by mail, filing taxes, and other legal documents and, in 19 states and Washington, D.C., the mail date for mail-in ballots that are to be mailed by Election Day.Recent Changes to Mail Processing System

    Now, USPS is making a distinction between the postmark and what they are calling the “First Accepted Possession” of a piece of mail. The postmark only confirms that the postal service had possession of the mail on that date, not that it received the mail on that date.

    This proposal is necessitated by the implementation of USPS’s mail stream restructuring, Delivering for America, that was introduced in 2021. Under this system, a piece of mail may have entered the mail stream several days before the postmark is applied. All mail is now being processed at regional postal facilities, where the postmark is applied by machines — not at local post offices. Mail can be held at the local post office or the regional postal facility for a number of days. This delay is exacerbated by weekends, holidays, and rural areas that are far from a regional postal facility.Voters’ New Responsibility

    Delivering for America has been a disaster, as previously reported in The Federalist. Since it began, every USPS Inspector General report about the regional processing facilities, most recently the St. Louis region, has been extremely critical, with reporting about delayed and mishandled mail and other issues.

    President Donald Trump understands the vulnerabilities in voting by mail and recognizes the potential for election fraud. He issued Executive Order 14248 addressing these concerns and has made recent comments going even further, calling for the elimination of voting by mail. Eliminating, or drastically limiting voting by mail, and requiring that all ballots be received by Election Day, as he has suggested, would make USPS’s proposal about the postmark irrelevant.

    The Postal Service has become the largest precinct in our elections and their system is not set up to handle the burden of receiving and delivering millions of ballots.

    This issue with postmarks is just one more reason why we should limit voting by mail to absentee voting with an excuse. Additionally, the 20 states that use the postmark by Election Day to count a ballot should join the other 28 states that require ballots to be received by Election Day, regardless of the postmark.”

  14. “Deporting Illegal Immigrants Is Not Enough: Importing culturally foreign, economically dependent people is destroying the American way of life.”

    The Federalist, By: Breccan F. Thies, September 08, 2025

    uthmeier

    EXCERPT: “WASHINGTON, D.C. — Illegal immigration might be the single strongest issue holding the conservative movement together right now. Everyone wants illegals gone, and no one cares if the migrants have committed other crimes or not — this is about the restoration of American culture for Americans to enjoy.

    National Conservatism (NatCon) had its fifth annual conference in Washington, D.C., this week, where speakers addressed a variety of issues like where the right should be headed on things like gay “marriage,” what America’s relationship with Israel should look like, the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, education, and so on.

    But over the course of the three-day event, immigration seemed to be brought up at every turn. Multiple panels and speakers addressed the issue, and the message was loud and clear: Getting rid of illegals is not enough.

    Border czar Tom Homan gave an update on some of the numbers, telling attendees that Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection have overseen nearly 400,000 deportations so far. “Just wait and see” the kinds of numbers the agencies can do with 10,000 more Homeland Security agents coming on board, Homan added. He also said that the average per-day gotaways at the border have gone from 1,800 during the Biden administration to 16 on the day prior to his speech, while the “historic” amount of death and sex, drug, and human trafficking supported by the Biden regime had diminished significantly.

    Various speakers made absolutely clear the damage that has been done to the country through immigration writ large. Americans have long hated illegal immigration, but many have now woken up to the generational damage both legal and illegal immigration it have caused. Corporate pressure on compliant politicians has led to untold numbers of third-worlders with unrecognizable, inferior cultures fundamentally untethering Americans from their homeland.

    That is why discussion of the H1-B visa program blew up in December and January during the Trump transition. Elon Musk crashed out, essentially claiming every call center jockey is the next Einstein, and Trump weighed in in support of the notoriously abused program. The Trump administration is also in the process of defending an Obama-era rule that allows the spouses of H-1B recipients to receive work permits — despite having zero approval from Congress.

    But Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was correct when he said: “The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire ‘the best and the brightest,’ but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad.”

    An important theme of NatCon was that legal immigration needs to be dramatically lowered and disincentivized. Moreover, allowing more than half a million Chinese into the country with student visas, toying with the idea of mass amnesty, and requiring a measly 1 percent remittances tax on physical money or checks is just not going to cut it.

    The U.S. government needs to simultaneously focus on removing the millions of illegals from our country, while also cycling out the legal migrants, including visa holders, those here on often bogus claims of asylum or refugee status, and perhaps implementing a selective denaturalization process…..”

  21. Just The News: “The Trump administration on Monday asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on an ongoing legal case over President Donald Trump’s efforts to shut down foreign aid.

    The move follows the D.C. Appeals Court upholding a lower court order from U.S. District Judge Amir Ali blocking Trump from rescinding the funds. Aid groups that expected to compete for the funding brought the challenge, Reuters reported.

    Trump previously moved to block roughly $4 billion in funding through a so-called “pocket rescission” after Congress approved roughly $11 billion in aid.

    “To be clear, no one disputes that defendants have significant discretion in how to spend the funds at issue, and the court is not directing defendants to make payments to any particular recipients,” Judge Ali wrote in the earlier decision. “But defendants do not have any discretion as to whether to spend the funds.”

  22. “A “trans-identifying” athlete is backing out of a landmark Supreme Court lawsuit—and is also asking the court to rule against him”

    Not The Bee, Hamilton Porter, Sep 7, 2025

    Image for article: A "trans-identifying" athlete is backing out of a landmark Supreme Court lawsuit—and is also asking the court to rule against him

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Well, I definitely didn’t see this one coming, but I think we can absolutely chalk this up as a major victory:

    Via CNN [with editorial corrections]:

    A [man] who was challenging Idaho’s ban on trans athletes told the Supreme Court on Wednesday that [he] is withdrawing [his] high-profile case, citing intense “negative public scrutiny” because of the litigation and a desire to focus on “academic and personal goals.”

    Lindsay Hecox, a 24-year-old senior at Boise State University told the high court that [he] is dismissing [his] case – and, in an unusual move, [he] asked the justices to throw out a ruling from the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals that was decided in [his] favor.

    A transgender litigant voluntarily backing out of a landmark Supreme Court ruling and asking the court to rule in favor of reality??

    In this case, Hecox, with representation from the ACLU, was challenging Idaho’s ban on men participating in women’s sporting leagues. Two lower courts had ruled in his favor, with the state subsequently appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed earlier this year to hear the case.

    The ACLU’s decision to back out — and to request that the court knock back the earlier favorable rulings — unfortunately doesn’t mean that we’re out of the woods yet on this. As CNN notes, SCOTUS already “granted a second case, involving a transgender student from West Virginia, that raises the same issue.”

    Still: Hecox’s unwillingness to challenge the matter at court suggests a number of encouraging things, chief among them that he knows he is very likely to lose — which is another way of saying that the tide is turning on transgender madness.

    That’s not just idle speculation, either. Kristen Waggoner, the president of Alliance Defending Freedom which has led the charge on rolling back so much of transgender insanity, said the request to withdraw was “a desperate, bad-faith move” meant to avoid a negative ruling from the high court:

    [We] will urge the Supreme Court to thwart the ACLU’s attempt to game the system, and to move forward with hearing the case. …

    The issue of men in women’s sports is an ongoing, nationwide controversy. It deserves its day at America’s highest court.

    Some other thoughts from social media:

    It’s not just about losing at SCOTUS; it’s the leverage it would set for future cases almost guaranteeing immediate dismissal

    They know that they will lose.

    The issue is clearly ripe for adjudication. Purely a defensive move by ACLU as it knows it will lose at SCOTUS.

    They know they are going to lose so they’re desperate to cause confusion & delay.

    Pretty cowardly stuff from the ACLU. Expect to see a resounding defeat on this in the months ahead!”

  23. “One Mark Zuckerberg is suing the other Mark Zuckerberg for banning his Facebook account.”

    Not The Bee, Mister Retrops, Sep 7, 2025

    Image for article: One Mark Zuckerberg is suing the other Mark Zuckerberg for banning his Facebook account.

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “According to WTHR 13, Mark Zuckerberg is suing Mark Zuckerberg because Meta keeps deleting his Facebook page and ads. Mark Zuckerberg is a bankruptcy lawyer from Indiana who happens to have the same name as the famous CEO of Meta, and the company keeps accusing Lawyer Zuckerberg of impersonating their commander and chief.

    So Lawyer Zuckerberg is suing Meta for negligence and breach of contract because Facebook keeps, accusing him of “impersonating a celebrity” and throwing him in Facebook jail.

    ‘And using a false name! Which I’ve had way longer than he has,’ Zuckerberg said.

    Over the last eight years, his business account has been shut down five times, and his personal account has been shut down four times. And all of those have taken 4-6 months to get resolved and turned back on. And he’d probably keep on, keeping on, except he purchased thousands of dollars worth of ads for his law firm.

    Meta accepted his money then deleted his ads because of the whole Mark Zuckerberg thing.

    ‘It’s like buying a billboard on the side of the highway, paying the people for the billboard and then they come and put a giant blanket over it and you don’t get the benefit of what you paid for,’ he said. ‘It’s not fair. it’s not right and they need to stop.’

    And he’s pretty sure he can win, too.

    ‘I’ve got better things to do than sue Facebook. They have more money and more lawyers and more resources than I do. I’d rather not pick a fight with them…

    ‘I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t think I could win,’ he said.

    While the lawsuit is certainly amusing (for those of us not named Mark Zuckerberg), the best part about this story is Lawyer Zuckerberg’s website: iammarkzuckerberg.com where he collects all the mix-ups he’s had thanks to his famous doppelgänger.

    Here are few favorites:

    • I was sued by the state of Washington due to mistaken Identity. They thought I was the founder of FaceBook who was accused of endangering an adult in need of services
    • When a Facebook scam promised money from ‘Mark Zuckerberg,’ I was inundated with calls and emails from strangers, receiving phone calls at all hours of the night.
    • I receive over 100+ friend requests daily from people confusing me with the ‘other’ Mark Zuckerberg.
    • I receive phone calls at my office every day from angry people demanding tech support, or help with Facebook from resets to remove photos to locked accounts.
    • I can’t use my name when making appointments or reservations because people assume it’s a prank call and hang up.
    • I get Venmo payment requests and money solicitations from total strangers.
    • While speaking in Las Vegas, a limo driver was waiting for me at the bottom of the escalator with a sign reading ‘Mark Zuckerberg,’ causing chaos as a large, disappointed crowd had been waiting.
    • On 23andme, I have over 753 ‘relatives,’ many of whom immediately request money or ask for favors.
    • I routinely receive death threats and harassment on the app Messenger directed toward the other Mark Zuckerberg.

    He’s like the real life (but much more boring) version of this old ESPN commercial:

    Despite all that, Lawyer Zuckerberg doesn’t have hard feelings. He’s even offered to represent the other Mark Zuckerberg pro bono should Meta ever tank, and he find himself in need of a good bankruptcy lawyer.”

      1. The truly “moderate” ones are great – the problem is telling the difference since a part of their religion is to lie about their true beliefs.

  31. Just The News: “The House Oversight Committee on Monday confirmed its receipt of documents from the estate of late financier and sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein pursuant to a subpoena from the panel.

    The panel has pursued its own efforts to shed light on the Epstein case in the wake of intense public scrutiny of the Department of Justice and Attorney General Pam Bondi over the issue.

    An aide to the Oversight Committee provided Just the News with the following statement:

    ‘The House Oversight Committee has received the first set of documents from the Epstein Estate in response to Chairman Comer’s subpoena issued on August 25, 2025. Included in the documents received today are the birthday book compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday; the last will and testament of Epstein immediately preceding August 8, 2019; the September 24, 2007 non-prosecution agreement between the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida and Epstein; entries from Epstein’s address/contact books from January 1, 1990 through August 10, 2019; and information about Epstein’s known bank accounts. Committee staff will review these documents and make them public in the near future.’”

  33. Huh! So much for Publisher’s Clearing House! I was wondering why I hadn’t gotten any mailings from them!

    “Oregon man won ‘$5K a week forever’ in 2012, spent cash like he was set for life — but Publishers Clearing House went bankrupt. Now he might lose home”

    MoneyWise, Mike Crisolago, Updated Sep 6, 2025

    Publishers Clearing House's bankruptcy has left winners like John Wyllie without their promised payouts.

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “An old sweepstakes TV commercial once promised, “Only Publishers Clearing House can make you so rich, so fast!” But, as some unlucky winners discovered this year, the opposite is also true: Publishers Clearing House (PCH) can make your fortune disappear just as quickly.

    That’s what happened to John Wyllie, a 61-year-old Oregon man who won $5,000 a week for life from the PCH Prize Patrol in 2012.

    According to NBC affiliate KGW8, Wyllie received an annual check for $260,000 every January. The money let him retire and buy a house on six acres in scenic Bellingham, Washington. But this year, the checks suddenly stopped. A few months later, Wyllie learned why: PCH had filed for bankruptcy without warning him or other winners.

    Wyllie told KGW8 the turn of events “feels like a nightmare,” made worse by the fact that he hasn’t worked in more than a decade and can’t find a job now. With bills piling up, he’s sold off big-ticket items like a jet ski and trailer, but still expects to lose his home.

    For anyone who’s ever daydreamed about a life-changing win, Wyllie’s story is a harsh reminder that easy money isn’t always forever. It’s a reality check that could strike anyone who finds themselves scrambling to offset the loss.”

    DOJ Panel Makes Clear: Illegal Aliens Are Subject to Mandatory Detention

    The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Board of Immigration Appeals, the nation’s top panel for interpreting federal immigration law, is making clear that illegal aliens living in the United States are subject to mandatory detention, as required by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

    Late last week, the Board of Immigration Appeals made the sweeping clarification as part of a ruling in a case involving an illegal alien from Venezuela who made an appeal to the board after he was denied a bond hearing by a federal immigration judge.

    In its review of the matter, the Board of Immigration Appeals made clear that illegal aliens living in the United States are subject to mandatory detention and therefore ineligible for a bond hearing before a federal immigration judge.

    “The issue presented on appeal is one of statutory construction: Does the INA require that all applicants for admission, even those like the respondent who have entered without admission or inspection and have been residing in the United States for years without lawful status, be subject to mandatory detention for the duration of their immigration proceedings, and thus the Immigration Judge lacks authority over a bond request filed by an alien in this category?” the Board of Immigration Appeals wrote.

    The ruling further states:

    In a statement to the Los Angeles Times, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the decision is a “big win for our [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] attorneys securing our ability to detain illegal aliens until they are deported.”

    ICE officials, in July, issued a memo clarifying that illegal aliens are not eligible for bond hearings under the INA because they are subject to mandatory detention.

  39. “Lachlan Murdoch is considered more conservative than his father, Rupert, and his siblings. Multiple sources indicate that Lachlan’s political views are more conservative than Rupert’s, with one describing him as “staunchly more conservative than his dad,” and another stating he is “more conservative than his dad.” Unlike his brother James, who resigned from the board due to disagreements over the network’s conservative editorial content, Lachlan has been supportive of Fox News’ right-wing direction. Rupert reportedly sought to position Lachlan to lead in order to preserve the right-wing slant of Fox News and his other media properties.”

    *********************

    Just The News: “Fox News titan Rupert Murdoch’s media empire will officially be handed down to his oldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, upon Rupert’s death as part of a massive multi-billion dollar agreement, Fox Corp and News Corp announced Monday.

    Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch have been working to legally change a trust that was made with his second wife Anna, that gave power to their three children, Lachlan, Elizabeth and James. The trust initially gave voting shares to the four oldest children, and equal financial stakes to all of Rupert Murdoch’s children.

    The new agreement consolidates the media empire, which includes Fox News, the New York Post and The Wall Street Journal, under Lachlan in exchange for $1.1 billion buyouts to the other three siblings, per the New York Times.

    The agreement ends the legal fight over the trust, and a new trust will be created that includes the two youngest Murdoch children, Chloe and Grace, and Lachlan, who will have controlling stakes in Fox Corp and News Corp.”
