Robby Starbuck Sues Google After Company’s AI Reportedly Admits to Defaming Conservatives for Political Reasons
The Tennessee conservative commentator and documentarian Robby Starbuck on Wednesday announced that he filed a lawsuit against Google, claiming its artificial intelligence (AI) knowingly lied about him to millions of users for more than two years, despite his attempts to resolve the issue with the company.
Starbuck said in a video posted to X on Wednesday that he filed the lawsuits after attempting to address the lies produced by Google’s various AI products since at least 2023, and that some of the false claims made about him include, "elaborate rape allegations that Google created, a lengthy criminal record including stalking, drug charges, and resisting arrest, elaborate accusations that I’ve been investigated for murder, and much, much more, including even an accusation that I flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane and sexually assaulted a minor."

National Debt Crosses $38 Trillion for First Time in History
Washington Examiner The total national debt of the United States has hit $38 trillion, an unwelcome milestone that comes as lawmakers grapple with a looming fiscal reckoning. The unwanted achievement comes amid a government shutdown and was reflected in the Treasury Department’s daily updates to the national debt. The federal debt per citizen has now climbed to over $110,000. Republicans and some centrist Democrats have sounded the alarm about the growing debt and deficits, with the debt first crossing the $1 trillion mark in 1981. But lawmakers have done little to reduce debt and deficits, although Republicans have long called for spending cuts. READ THE FULL STORY

House Judiciary Refers Former CIA Director John Brennan to DOJ for Criminal Prosecution
“John Brennan lied to Congress. Today, we referred him to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) announced Tuesday, providing the full content of the referral.
“We write to refer significant evidence that former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan knowingly made false statements during his transcribed interview before the Committee on the Judiciary on May 11, 2023,” Chairman Jordan explains in his letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi:
“While testifying, Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.”
“Making false statements before Congress is a crime that undermines the integrity of the Committee’s constitutional duty to conduct oversight,” Jordan writes.
At issue are Brennan’s comments in testimony regarding the infamous and debunked Steele Dossier used by the CIA and FBI to perpetrate the Trump-Russia Hoax.
The letter introduces three assertions “that support an investigation into whether Brennan made false statements at his transcribed interview”:
“Brennan falsely denied that the CIA relied on the discredited Steele dossier in drafting the post-election Intelligence Community Assessment.”
“Brennan falsely testified when he told the Committee that the CIA opposed including the Steele dossier in the ICA.”
“Brennan falsely denied that the CIA relied on the discredited Steele dossier in drafting the post-election Intelligence Community Assessment.”
In each case, Chairman Jordan cites documents declassified by the Trump Administration that expose Brennan’s claims to be false.
One declassified document quoted by Chairman Jordan reveals Brennan made prejudicial statements and insisted on the use of the discredited dossier:
“According to a CIA memorandum declassified by the Trump Administration, when two CIA mission center leaders confronted Brennan with ‘specific flaws’ in the dossier, Brennan disregarded their concerns, ‘appear[ing] more swayed by the [d]ossier’s general conformity with existing theories than by legitimate tradecraft concerns.’
“Brennan later ‘formalized his position in writing, stating that ‘my bottomline is that I believe that the information warrants inclusion in the report.’
“Similarly, the HPSCI report notes that when senior CIA officers demanded that Brennan remove the Steele dossier from the ICA, Brennan ‘refused to remove it.’ When the officers presented evidence of the dossier’s ‘many flaws,’ Brennan responded, ‘Yes, but doesn’t it ring true?’
“Ultimately, Brennan ‘had to order [the dossier] included over the objections of [CIA] professionals.’”
