Mohammed Sabry Soliman, a native of Egypt, appeared in Colorado court on Monday (June 2) in the wake of the Molotov cocktail attack Soliman carried out over the weekend in Boulder. Soliman, who planned the Molotov cocktail attack for a year, delayed carrying out the act until after his daughter’s high school graduation, according to reports.
As reported by local outlet KMGH-TV, Soliman, 45, has resided in El Paso County for three years with his wife and their five children after living in Kuwait for 17 years. Details are still developing in the matter, but reports state that Soliman planned his attack for a year and arrived at Pearl Street on Sunday with a dozen Molotov cocktail bombs.
According to a filed affidavit, Soliman reportedly yelled at officials and onlookers “Free Palestine” and “You’re killing my people” while expressing a desire to “Kill all Zionist people” and wishing for their death across the board.
It has since come out that Soliman was in the United States illegally after his tourism visa expired and was granted a work permit in 2023. Soliman told the authorities that he had planned his attack for a year and wanted to carry out the bombing earlier, but waited until after his daughter graduated. He also told officials he attempted to buy a firearm, but because of his illegal status, he couldn’t do so.
“The Department of Justice has swiftly charged the illegal alien perpetrator of this heinous attack with a federal hate crime and will hold him accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” Attorney General Pam Bondi stated on Monday. “Our prayers are with the victims and our Jewish community across the world. This vile anti-Semitic violence comes just weeks after the horrific murder of two young Jewish Americans in Washington DC. We will never tolerate this kind of hatred. We refuse to accept a world in which Jewish Americans are targeted for who they are and what they believe.”
Mohammed Sabry Soliman, who encountered the court on Monday, is facing federal and local hate crime charges, which include 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and other charges. He is being held on a $10 million bond.

Cory Booker is shutting down claims he was out here throwing up a Nazi salute.
MAGA Republicans and Elon Musk are losing their sh*t and doing their best to compare a moment where Cory Booker put his hand on his heart and waved goodbye to the crowd at the Democratic National Convention in California to when Musk clearly did a Nazi salute.
Through a spokesperson, Booker shut down those ridiculous claims.
“Cory Booker was obviously just waving to the crowd. Anyone who claims his wave is the same as Elon Musk‘s gesture is operating in bad faith,” Maya Krishna-Rogers, spokesperson for Booker, said to Newsweek in a statement sent via email on Sunday. “The differences between the two are obvious to anyone without an agenda.”
Musk also doubled down on his acceptance of th use of the word “retard” as an insult.

MAGA Republicans going hard trying to make something out of nothing about Cory Booker waving goodbye to the crowd, comes after Musk and Steve Bannon both were both accused doing nazi salutes during events.
Musk was accused of doing a Nazi salute during Trump rally during his second inauguration following his unfortunate election win.

President Donald Trump has demonstrated in times past that he is chronically online, as some have witnessed via his frequent posts on his social media network, Truth Social. Taking to his platform once more, President Donald Trump shared a post promoting a peculiar conspiracy theory alleging that former President Joe Biden was replaced by a clone.
Over the weekend, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social and reshared a post from a user that suggests that President Joe Biden was replaced by robotic clones in 2020. The post itself was replete with hashtags such as “#BlackMen,” “#Blackwomem, “#Blacks,” and “#Jews” along with mentions towards political groups and media outlets.
“There is no #JoeBiden – executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. #Democrats dont know the difference,” read the leading portion of the brief post. The user, who has around 5,000 followers, had the good fortune of getting President Trump’s attention, who reshared the post to his millions of followers.
While there is no proof of this claim, it does appear to be a recent one. Biden has been a favorite target of Trump supporters and the MAGA faithful, who believe the former president’s performance in his first and final term as the nation’s leader left America in worse shape than Trump.
The Truth Social user also shared an article from The Babylon Bee, a fictional news outlet similar to The Onion, which leans into political satire and has fooled former politicians in the past into thinking it is a fact-based news organization.
President Trump and former President Biden have not made any comments about the theory, from what we’ve been able to assess.

It’s been three years since the fourth season of Stranger Things left fans wondering what we could expect from the supernatural saga, and now we’ve gotten an idea of what’s to come as Netflix has finally released their first teaser trailer for the fifth and final season of their franchise series.
Though details about the fifth and final season remain scarce, it looks like the monsters of the Upside Down will be making their way to our reality as our heroes attempt to keep them at bay with what we expect to be many casualties. Our only question is whether or not Eleven’s other super-enhanced friends like Kali (Eight) and the others will finally return to the series or if they’ll just be completely ignored following their appearance in Season 2. We sure hope to see them come back and help Eleven and them save the day.
Releasing in three volumes, the final season of Stranger Things we be premiering Nov. 26, followed by a second installment Dec. 1 and the finale on New Year’s Eve. Netflix is really stretching this one out. It better be worth it.
Check out the teaser trailer to the fifth season of Stranger Things, and let us know what you want to see in the final season in the comments section below.

Megan Thee Stallion is taking her love for anime to another level.
Hitting the stage dressed as Bleach anime character Yoruichi Shihōin, Megan Thee Stallion announced she has an anime series coming to Prime Video.
Thee Stallion also revealed to the crowd in attendance that she will be teaming up with Boondocks’ creator Carl Jones to bring it to television screens everywhere.
“You ain’t never seen an anime like this ever in your life,” Thee Stallion teased.

Megan Thee Stallion’s deep-rooted love for anime has never been a secret; in fact, she has put it on the front street by using the Japanese style of animation in one of her music videos and teaming up with Crunchyroll. This Sony-owned American company distributes anime, for a limited capsule collection.
In an interview with Crunchyroll, Megan Thee Stallion described her growth as akin to that of an anime character.
“I’m half anime character, half rapper,” the “Savage” rapper said. “I like how you see a character, and it starts off, he’s not really the strongest, he might be a little weak, but he has to go through all this training. You grow with the character. You see all the trials and tribulations they go through. Then you meet new people along the way that help them become the person he needs to be. I apply that to my life a lot.”
Megan Thee Stallion Has Been Very Busy
Megan Thee Stallion is also coming off an epic moment in Miami during Swim Week, where she and her teeny weeny bikinis from her swimwear line hit the runway. While Tory Lanez, who was found guilty of shooting her continues to put out useless information to prove his innocence after the fact, to prove his innocence, Thee Stallion continues to branch out and become a whole mogul.
It’s genuinely going to be a hot girl summer at the beach and pool near you.

Allegedly, Diddy is out here trying to get a pardon from Donald Trump while he continues to them hand out like Halloween candy, but 50 Cent wants to make sure that his long-time rival rots in a prison cell.
Using his favorite soapbox, Instagram, in a series of now-deleted posts, 50 Cent is letting his followers know that he’s not playing regarding his hate for Diddy and that he will do whatever it takes to keep Diddy from securing a pardon from Felon 47.
“He said some really bad things about Trump, it’s not ok. Im gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy,” the G-Unit general said in one Instagram post.
In another, he added, “Donald doesn’t take well to disrespect, and doesn’t forget who chooses to go against him. while working tirelessly to make America great again there is no room for distraction. He would consider pardoning anyone who was being mistreated not Puffy Daddy.”
Is Trump Seriously Considering Pardoning Diddy?
Now, it’s unlikely that Trump will grant the disgraced rapper/mogul a pardon, but he was asked about it during a Friday press conference, telling reporters, “People have been very close to asking” regarding a pardon for Diddy. However, he claims that no one has reached out to him yet. “I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody is mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me.”

50 Cent Claims He Wants To Make Trump “Aware” of Diddy
In a hilarious twist, 50 Cent tried to clarify his comments after The Daily Beast reported on him trying to “nuke” Diddy’s chances for a pardon.
In another IG post, sharing a screenshot of the article, 50 Cent wrote, “I didn’t say I would Nuke anything, I simply said I will make sure Trump is aware.”
Welp.
Users on X, formerly Twitter, have been reacting to this latest development in the ongoing saga between 50 Cent and Puff with many applauding his commitment to making Diddy’s life a living hell.

ESPN analyst and podcast host Ryan Clark shared that being slighted by Stephen A. Smith motivated him to professionally match his success. The Pivot Podcast co-host opened up about it during his appearance on the latest episode of the Idea Generation podcast hosted by Noah Callahan-Bever of Complex.
[embedded content]
Clark, a former NFL star safety and Super Bowl Champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, spoke about the moment that changed his motivation for doing media at the 5:10 minute mark of the interview. “I didn’t really have this great reason for getting up and doing it…I told this story maybe once: Stephen A. was asked years ago who are like the next Stephen A.s, who are the athletes who would be the next guys.” Clark said, “And he didn’t mention me. And I was the first player to have a TV contract – first active player.”He continued, “Well, naturally, that’s my trajectory, right? I’m supposed to be a trendsetter.”But you said those two dudes? Aight, bet. I got you. I’ll show you.” Clark stated that the non-mention put him in “competing” mode against the other two Smith named. “And when I walk off this set I want to know and feel in my heart, ‘Man, I killed dude,’” Clark added. “As great as I want him to do, because he might be my friend, he might be my colleague, I want to crush him. And that was kind of how things started to change for me.”Clark has parlayed that moment into becoming one of the top analysts in sports media, becoming a fixture on ESPN’s First Take as well as the network’s NFL coverage and its premier show, NFL Live. Along with former Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder and Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor as co-hosts of The Pivot Podcast, Clark has seen the show attain 1.2 million subscribers on YouTube alone.Clark has also not been one to shy away from confronting certain issues, evidenced by his recent back-and-forth with former ESPN analyst and former Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III over his comments regarding WNBA player Caitlin Clark’s hard foul on Angel Reese. The dispute went viral on social media, and Smith vocalized his support of Clark after he faced numerous attacks from trolls.Check out the entire interview above.

It’s no longer orange and blue skies after the NBA’s “most overrated player,” Tyrese Haliburton, and the Indiana Pacers once again sent New York Knicks, Ben Stiller, Timothee Chalamet, Spike Lee, and the rest of the diehard Knickerbocker fans on summer break.
The New York Knicks and their fans thought their 52-year championship drought was coming to an end, but unfortunately, the Indiana Pacers had other plans.
Last night, in a game that started close, the Pacers eventually cruised to a 125-108 Game 6 win over the Knicks, punching their ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time in 25 years to face the Oklahoma City Thunder, where they hope they can win the franchise’s first NBA title.
Out of the gate, the Knicks didn’t let the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd affect them, keeping the contest close, trailing by only four points at halftime. But it was clear they couldn’t keep pace with the Pacers, who turned it on in the second half, ending the third quarter with an 11-point lead that the Knicks couldn’t overcome.
It didn’t help that the Knicks’ offense was stifled by the Pacers’ defense in the second half. The clutch player of the year and Knicks’ top offensive weapon, Jalen Brunson, was held to just 19 points and shot 4/10 at the half because Andrew Nembhard locked him down.
In Games 1-5, Andrew Nembhard defended Jalen Brunson for 49 match-ups, allowing 51.0 player points per 100 match-ups
In Game 6, Nembhard defended Brunson for 55 match-ups, giving up just 9.1 player points per 100 match-ups
He was sensational. pic.twitter.com/VQNoJSo22x

Turnovers Killed The Knicks’ Chances
The Pacers also forced 18 Knicks turnovers, scoring 25 fastbreak points, a recipe for disaster for any team trying to win an Eastern Conference Finals series.
After being stifled in Game 5, Tyrese Haliburton returned to form, scoring 21 points and dishing out 13 assists. However, it was Pascal Siakam’s 31-point performance that helped put the Knicks away for good, earning him the series MVP award, which also provided a classic meme moment.

Jalen Brunson Still Has Confidence In This Knicks Team
Despite solid offensive efforts from OG Anunoby, who led all Knicks scorers with 24 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns with 22, it just wasn’t enough.
It didn’t help that Josh Hart, who has been reliable all season, didn’t leave his mark on the game, scoring only 4 points.
Following the game, Brunson says he still believes in this Knicks team as it is constructed, telling reporters he has “The most confidence, overconfident, seriously,” Brunson said. “There’s not an ounce of any type of doubt that I’m confident with this group.”
Jalen Brunson was asked if he has confidence that Tom Thibodeau is the right coach for the Knicks moving forward:
“Is that a real question right now? You just asked me if I believe if he’s the right guy. Yes.” pic.twitter.com/FRjCO8genL

A Magical Season Comes To A Bitter End
Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks looked like they were on the verge of a special season after two big playoff series wins, including knocking off the defending champion Boston Celtics.
But it would turn out their biggest test would be the franchise’s longtime rivals, the Indiana Pacers, who have played boogeyman to the Knicks franchise for many years.
Coming into the series, the Knicks had all the momentum, especially after pulling off one of the biggest comebacks in playoff history en route to denying the Celtics the opportunity to defend their 2023-24 NBA championship.
It would turn out that the Knicks would get a taste of their own medicine after they dramatically blew a significant lead in game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, which led to an insane Tyrese Haliburton buzzer-beater to force overtime, where the Knicks came up short, and eventually would go on to lose the series.

On Wednesday (May 28), President Donald Trump issued an order commuting the federal prison sentence of the former leader of the Gangster Disciples, Larry Hoover. The federal sentence of three life terms was given to Hoover for running the Gangster Disciples from his prison cell. However, Hoover remains in jail for state murder charges in Illinois. Advocates are calling on Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker to give Hoover clemency.Hoover’s commutation was part of a group of 26 acts of clemency and pardons issued by Trump. That group includes rapper NBA Youngboy and reality television stars Todd and Julie Christley. It was announced by the White House’s “pardon czar”, Alice Marie Johnson.
In a separate interview with TMZ Hip Hop, she said that she hoped that Governor Pritzker would consider giving Hoover clemency. Ye, aka Kanye West, has also made pleas to Trump to release Hoover, bringing one of his lawyers to the White House during his first term in 2018, saying it was “very important for me to get Hoover out.”The 74-year-old is currently serving a 200-year sentence for his conviction for murdering rival William Young in 1973. In order for him to be freed, a petition has to be approved by the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. Hoover was denied parole in 2022, after letters from Young’s family protested his release.
“I think there’s a mass pressure here for JB to show that he believes in redemption,” said community activist and Hoover friend Ja’mal Green. “If we’re going by what he claims he believes and the policies that he has signed on with his pen then Larry Hoover represents that. This is merely politics if JB Pritzker does not use a stroke of his pen.”“I understand folks on both sides some who quite frankly felt a lot of pain, but also those who can believe in the power of redemption,” said Illinois State Senator Willie Preston, representing the 16th District, to local NBC network News 5 Chicago.
According to a representative for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Hoover remains in custody at the United States Penitentiary Florence ADMAX in Florence, Colorado. There has been no word from Pritzker’s office that signals that they’re open to giving Hoover clemency.

This latest mess involving RFK Jr. and his “Make America Healthy Again” commission report highlights just how dysfunctional and stupid the Trump administration is.
We already know that RFK Jr. is a certified quack and conspiracy theorist who has no business being the head of Health and Human Services, and he continues to show us why.
The MAHA report, which is intended to address the reasons for the decline in US life expectancy, is currently being criticized because all signs indicate that it was generated using AI, specifically ChatGPT.
An investigation by NOTUS revealed that the MAHA report is marred by errors, including broken links, missing or incorrect authors, and incorrect issue numbers.
Other damning revelations highlighted by NOTUS included some studies in the report being misstated to support the report’s claims, as well as studies that didn’t exist.
NOTUS found that at least seven of the cited sources weren’t even real.
But Wait… There’s More
The Washington Post conducted its own investigation and found that 37 of the 522 citations appeared numerous times in the report. URLs in the report were found to contain “oaicite,” a marker used by OpenAI and applied to responses provided by AI models, such as ChatGPT, which is a strong indication that Kennedy and HHS used AI to make the report.
Another giveaway that the MAHA report is nothing more than the product of blatant AI use is the presence of “hallucinations” throughout it, a term used to describe the false information that artificial intelligence models tend to produce.
There is also the fact that RFK Jr. hasn’t been shy about what he describes as the “AI Revolution” and said during a House Committee meeting in May that HHS is “already using these new technologies to manage health care data more efficiently and securely.”
The White House Claims It Was Just “Formatting Issues”
When pressed on the report, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt referred to the errors as “formatting issues,” while avoiding discussion of the use of AI tools.
Leavitt, who has put on a masterclass in lying like her boss since taking on the role of press secretary, also added that the MAHA report is “backed on good science that the federal government has never recognized.”
NOTUS: A NOTUS investigation found that the MAHA commission report cites studies that appear to not exist. Does the WH have confidence that the info coming from HHS can be trusted?
LEAVITT: Yes. I understand there were some formatting issues, but it does not negate the substance… pic.twitter.com/i1d5SMlGYy
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 29, 2025
The Washington Post says the report has since been “updated” with some of the oaicite markers being removed and the nonexistent sources replaced with alternate citations.
In a statement sent to The Washington Post, Department of Health and Human Services spokesman Andrew Nixon said “minor citation and formatting errors have been corrected, but the substance of the MAHA report remains the same — a historic and transformative assessment by the federal government to understand the chronic disease epidemic afflicting our nation’s children.”
Social media isn’t shocked by these developments because of RFK Jr.’s reputation for being a liar and a pusher of medical falsehoods. He also claimed he would find the cause of autism by September.
