Swalwell accuser comes forward with photo evidence

Lonna Drewes and Rep. Eric Swalwell, (D-CA) are shown in a photo presented at Tuesday's news conference. It purports to show her and the congressman in 2018 at the opening of Avra restaurant in Beverly Hills. "Provided by Drewes and attorney Lisa Bloom."

An attorney for Eric Swalwell accuser Lonna Drewes blasted the outgoing congressman's public response Tuesday. She called his comments "blather and spin" and "a slap in the face to the victims."

At Tuesday's Beverly Hills news conference at the law office of attorneys Lisa Bloom and Arick Fudali, the legal team said it would immediately file a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office.

Bloom blasted Swalwell's recent statement in which he said he was "not perfect" and "not a saint" and framed the matter as one between him and his wife.

"Your statement that this is all just a matter between you and your wife is laughable, if not for the fact that it is a slap in the face to the victims," Bloom told reporters. "Your statement [Monday] that you just made, 'mistakes in judgment' is defensive and minimizing.

"Stop it. Own your behavior."

Bloom said her team would provide investigators with evidence including text messages, journal entries, a photograph and witness information.

"We will not rest until we get justice for Lonna," Bloom said.

Dropping out of the gubernatorial race and resigning from Congress is not enough, Bloom added.

"Losing one's job is not a sufficient consequence for these types of allegations," she said. "We feel that the criminal investigations are the priority."Bloom also argued Swalwell's resignation was not an act of accountability, but an effort to avoid further scrutiny.

"I do not, in my opinion, see that as an act of accountability at all," Bloom said. "I see it as an effort to avoid the expulsion hearing that was coming."

Bloom also issued a broader call for other possible accusers or witnesses to come forward. She said she had already received messages from other women and that her firm was available to speak with them confidentially.

"Enough is enough," Bloom said. "I'm sick and tired of women being victimized by men in power."

Kathy Griffin pitifully seeks relevance with anti-Trump image

ready for Halloween

Well, it looks like Kathy Griffin is back at it, reminding us all why she’s the gift that keeps on giving, if by “gift” you mean a migraine that won’t quit. 

This weekend, the former comedian and self-proclaimed provocateur decided to spice up her TikTok with a little arts-and-crafts project: a video showcasing severed heads of four billionaires, including President Donald Trump. Yes, you read that right. Severed heads. Because nothing screams “edgy comedy” like fake blood dripping from the necks of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Trump. 

The video, which I will not show here, ends with Griffin tilting her head, smirking like she just invented irony, and text overhead that reads: “That’s all.” 

Subtle, like Porky Pig subtle, Kathy. The fine folks at Libs of TikTok weren’t exactly popping champagne over this one. They reposted the video and sounded the alarm, writing, “Kathy Griffin apparently posted this video which appears to be decapitated heads including Trump. This should be investigated.@FBI.” 

She really sounds like she's losing it. Perhaps a thorough psych eval would tell us something useful.

I mean, it’s not like depicting the president’s severed head might raise a few red flags or anything. If this feels like déjà vu, it’s because Griffin’s been down this road before. Back in 2017, she thought it would be funny to pose with a mask styled like Trump’s decapitated head, because she's an idiot. 

The backlash was swift, and Griffin ended up issuing a mea culpa after the internet lit her up like a Christmas tree. Her attorney at the time, Lisa Bloom, tried to clean up the mess, saying, “Griffin never imagined that it could be misinterpreted as a threat of violence against Trump. That was never what she intended. She has never threatened or committed an act of violence against anyone.” 

Sure, Lisa, and I never imagined my chocolate bar was actually a laxative, but here we are. 

The fallout was brutal. CNN gave her the boot from their New Year’s Eve gig because nothing says “festive” like a severed-head controversy. And Squatty Potty, a company that sells, uh, toilet stools, decided they didn’t need Griffin’s brand of charm to move product. 

You know you’ve hit rock bottom when the poop-stool people want nothing to do with you--no offense to the poop-stool folks; I'm sure they're decent people.

So, you’d think Griffin might’ve learned her lesson, right? Not one bit. 

Here we are in 2025, and she’s doubling down with this latest stunt. Conservatives, predictably, are losing their minds. One X user summed it up nicely: “How is she still not in jail?” Fair question. Meanwhile, her hypocrite defenders are out here waving the “freedom of expression” flag, because apparently, depicting political violence is just performance art now. 

Newsflash: calls for political violence aren’t protected speech in the U.S., no matter how many TikTok filters you slap on it. Obvioisly, Kathy’s gotta keep the outrage machine humming to stay relevant. But maybe, just maybe, it’s time to retire the severed-head bit. Try juggling, or better still, become a mime.

Hillary backer paid $500G to fund Trump accusers of sexual misconduct

A Hillary Clinton gal pal paid half a million bucks to fund women willing to accuse President Trump of sexual misconduct before the 2016 presidential election and guess what . . . Trump won, Hillary lost and so did ISIS.

The New York Times reported that Susie Tompkins Buell, the founder of Esprit Clothing and a huge Hillary Clinton campaign donor for many years, gave the money to celebrity shyster lawyer Lisa Bloom, daughter of Gloria Allred. She was working with the Trump accusers at the time, according to the report. 

Bloom solicited money donors by saying she was working with women who might "find the courage to speak out" against Trump if they would send money so she could sweeten the deal with security, relocation and possibly a "safe house." 

One woman was offered $750,000 to pay off her mortgage but eventually got cold feet or a warm heart and didn't come forward. 

It sounds as if Bloom believed that Trump is a known 'snuffer-outer' to people who cross him. 

David Brock, the slime ball Clinton propagandist, also donated $200,000 of his own dirty money through a sneaky "nonprofit" group he founded. The Times article describing all of this is titled "Partisans, Wielding Money, Begin Seeking to Exploit Harassment Claims."

Bloom admitted to The Times the effort failed. One woman wanted to be paid a cool $2 million but then decided to 'forget about it' and didn't come forward. 

None of the other women came forward as well, Trump beat Clinton, hundreds of women literally cried, gnashed their teeth, threw themselves to the ground and screamed at the sky weeks later.

Bloom claimed to have refunded "most" of the cash, keeping only a little for herself for expenses, but this is unsubstantiated. She also claimed to have not communicated with Hillary or her campaign "on any of this," but this could also mean that she communicated with Hillary and her campaign "on all of this." Remember, Bloom is a lawyer.

Bloom also claims she represented only those women whose stories she corroborated and she denied that she offered money to coax them to come forward.

Bloom took the focus away from herself and flipped culpability onto the American public saying, "It doesn't cost anything to publicly air allegations. Security and relocation are expensive and were sorely needed in a case of this magnitude, in a country filled with so much anger, hate and violence."

She may have been referring to Antifa, BDS and Black Lives Matter but didn't clarify.

After the article went to print and hundreds of people read it, Brock declined comment, according to the paper.

Clinton campaign representatives claimed that they didn't know anything, didn't see anything and have "no idea who this Bloom lady is."

Buell had no comment on the financial arrangement she made with anyone about anything. But she did admit that she was frustrated that Trump got away with [alleged] sexual misconduct.

Was Buell frustrated enough to offer money to people who would say anything about anyone for a price?

Attorney Lisa Bloom lines up money deals for women Trump victims

Lisa Bloom famous daughter of another famous shyster lawyer Gloria Allred, tried to set up big paydays for women willing to accuse President trump of sexual misconduct during the final months of the 2016 presidential election, according to a recently released report.

According to a report by The Hill on Friday, Bloom worked with campaign donors and media outlets to arrange for alleged victims to be compensated and she would receive a commission for them and offered to sell their stories. 

In one case, Bloom allegedly arranged for a donor to pay off one Trump accuser's mortgage and tried to obtain a six-figure payment for another woman. The former eventually declined to come forward after being offered a cool $750,000, the clients told The Hill. 

The Hill cited contracts, emails and text messages, including texts between one woman and Bloom herself that referred to pro-Hillary Clinton political action committees.

Both Bloom and mommy Allred specialize in representing women in sexual harassment cases. Bloom worked for four women who were considering accusing Trump. Two did go public but two declined.

When Fox News learned of the situation, they attempted to get a statement from Bloom but she did not immediately respond to requests.

Bloom did, however, send a statement to The Hill in which she acknowledge trying to get her clients paid (along with her hefty commission), but said the money was to help the women stay safe, and in some cases relocate. [Or maybe buy a fast sports car for a quick getaway. Or a private jet if the payment was steep enough.]

"Donors reached out to my firm directly to help some of the women I represented," Bloom said, without explaining how donors knew about the pending cases she received.

But Bloom has no qualms about representing the other side of the deal, as long as the deal is a good one. She represented sexual harasser and overall scum wiffer, Harvey Weinstein. The only requirement she has is that they are willing to pay or she will somehow make money from the case, no matter where it comes from.

The not so shy shyster, told The Hill that she had no contact with Clinton or her campaign.

Okay, yeah.

Kathy Griffin's lament

From the planet Dork

Kathy Griffin is still refusing to put her poor judgment aside and is once again on the warpath against her detractors (aka the world).

The so-called comedienne attacked Harvey Levin of TMZ, attorney Lisa Bloom and Hollywood in a video. 

"I'm on Interpol Watch List," she complained and said "Authorities detain me at airports."

Poor baby . . . literally. She's a baby and she isn't getting advert gigs--not that she's really poor, but her judgment certainly is as her Trump beheading photo shows.

On the video, she put on Levin's voicemail he left her which included his phone number--another example of bad judgment and vindictiveness.

She called out people for doxxing her after she did the Trump 'head shot.' Some internet nuts put her family's personal information online which, she said, resulted in death threats to her mother and sister. I suspect the same people who made those threats would be outraged if the shoe was on the other foot.

Then Griffin went after Andy Cohen, her former boss of the show "My Life on the D-List." She said he was a "miserable boss." This is where her crybaby personality exposes itself.

At the end of the video she said she's on Interpol watch list and was on a 'No Fly' list for two months. "I was also on the no fly list. I've been detained alone at every single airport I've gone to," she whined. 

She also said she's on the "5 eyes list," (FVEY) an intelligence alliance between Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and the USA.

Maybe the beheading photo had something to do with that.

Kathy Griffin is a fool who's too stupid to know that she's a fool.
