Sony Pictures’ Bullet Train is projected to reach $30.1 million in revenue in its opening weekend box office through Aug. 7. With a reported $90 million production budget, the Brad Pitt actioner has miles of rails to cover to make profit. No small task considering the movie’s relatively low 41% Rotten Tomatoes ratings score. Regardless, … Continue reading "Sony Pictures’ ‘Bullet Train’ Speeds to $30.1 Million Opening Weekend Box Office"

According to a recent announcement made by the Georgia Department of Revenue, pregnant mothers in the state can now include their unborn child as a dependent on their tax returns.

“In light of the June 24, 2022, U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and the July 20, 2022, 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Sistersong v. Kemp, the Department will recognize any unborn child with a detectable human heartbeat, as eligible for the Georgia individual income tax dependent exemption,” the agency announced on its website Monday.

On individual income tax returns for Tax Year 2022, a taxpayer with an unborn child (or children) with a detectable human heartbeat (which may occur as early as six weeks’ gestation) may claim a $3,000 dependent personal exemption for each unborn child.

“Similar to any other deduction claimed on an income tax return, relevant medical records or other supporting documentation shall be provided to support the dependent deduction claimed if requested by the Department,” the agency said.

More from ABC News:

The new tax guidance from state officials comes just two weeks after a federal appeals court ruled Georgia’s so-called “heartbeat law,” titled the Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act, could take effect immediately following the Supreme Court’s decision in June to overturn Roe v. Wade, giving power back to states to decide abortion access.

The law was previously declared unconstitutional by a federal judge in July 2020, and barred from taking effect.

Under the legislation — which Gov. Brian Kemp originally signed into law in 2019 — abortions in the state are banned after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can happen as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. There are exceptions for medical emergencies, “medically futile” pregnancies and rape and incest, if a police report has been filed.

The law has other implications, including for taxes, because it also redefines “natural person” under Georgia law to mean “any human being including an unborn child” — including an embryo or fetus at any stage of development.

Under that definition, a pregnant person may also request child support, amounting to the “direct medical and pregnancy related expenses of the mother.”

State Legislatures are full of political hacks. We don’t trust them. Unfortunately, at times we trust courts – state or federal – even less.

Take, for instance, the 2020 presidential election.

In the lead-up to the 2020 primaries and general election, Democrat state officials in every battleground state and many others, implemented illegal unilateral decisions that radically enabled illegal voting contrary to established law. These baldly partisan decisions were challenged in courts across the nation, with courts either dismissing the acts as unimportant, refusing to take action, or else upholding the propriety of the acts.

And, of course, we know what happened after the election: bent state and federal courts doubled-down and rubber-stamped election fraud – and even sanctioned lawyers who fought election fraud.

And even the US Supreme Court refused to hear the Texas motion that would have nullified the presidential elections in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin. SCOTUS claimed that Texas had not demonstrated a judicially recognizable interest in the manner.

Over 18 states joined Texas in the lawsuit aginst Pennsylvania.

Texas argued these four states violated the US Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or executive actions. But these states did not make the changes through the state legislatures as spelled out in the US Constitution.

At the time Justice Clarence Thomas argued in dissent that the Court failed to provide clear rules for future elections.

“One wonders what the Court waits for. We failed to settle this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling. By doing nothing, we invite further confusion and erosion of voter confidence. Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us. I respectfully dissent,” Thomas wrote on Monday…

Most Americans assumed that was the end of the 2020 election legal challenges.  But that is not the case.  One case will be argued before the US Supreme Court this fall that could change this formula.

The US Constitution’s “Elections Clause,” Article I, Sec. 4 states:

“The Times, Places, and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of choosing Senators.”

The text makes it clear that the State Legislatures control the specifics of how elections run in their states unless Congress says otherwise. This is known as the “independent state legislature theory.” However, this is not, in fact, how things have been occurring. Gamesmanship by partisan state officials and even decisions of the legislatures have been challenged in state courts, with the states’ highest courts often trumping the will of the legislature.

Surprisingly, the Supreme Court has not, heretofore, explicitly ruled on this issue.

The Supreme Court will hear the Moore v. Harper case this fall.

Scotus Blog reported in June:

The Supreme Court will take up a case from North Carolina next term that could upend federal elections by eliminating virtually all oversight of those elections by state courts. On Thursday, the justices granted review in Moore v. Harper, a dispute arising from the state’s efforts to draw new congressional maps in response to the 2020 census.

The doctrine at the heart of the case is known as the “independent state legislature” theory – the idea that, under the Constitution, only the legislature has the power to regulate federal elections, without interference from state courts. Proponents of the theory point to the Constitution’s elections clause, which gives state legislatures the power to set the “Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives”…

The issue returned to the Supreme Court in 2020, when the justices turned down a request by Pennsylvania Republicans to fast-track their challenge to a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that required state election officials to count mail-in ballots received within three days of Election Day. In an opinion that accompanied the court’s order, Justice Samuel Alito (joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch) suggested that the state supreme court’s decision to extend the deadline for counting ballots likely violated the Constitution.

After the Republican-controlled North Carolina legislature adopted a new congressional map in early November 2021, a group of Democratic voters and non-profits went to state court to challenge the map. They contended among other things that, because the state is roughly divided between Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters, the new map – which likely would have allowed Republicans to pick up two more seats in Congress, giving them as many as 10 of the state’s 14 seats – was a partisan gerrymander that violated the state’s constitution.

In February 2022, the North Carolina Supreme Court blocked the state from using the map in the 2022 elections and ordered the trial court to either approve or adopt a new map before the end of the month. The trial court adopted a new map, drawn by three experts appointed by the court…

…After considering the case at three consecutive conferences, the justices granted review on Thursday. The case will likely be argued in the fall, with a decision to follow sometime early next year.

Last weekend The Gateway Pundit spoke with Oath Keepers founder and president Stewart Rhodes, from his prison cell in Virginia waiting for his upcoming court case, and Attorney Jonathon Moseley, who represents Stewart.

** Please donate to the Stewart Rhodes Legal Defense Fund here if you can.

Stewart Rhodes and Moseley argue in this interview that the upcoming Supreme Court case Moore v. Harper will not only decide state election law in the future but will call into question the legality of the 2020 election.

According to Stewart and John, the Supreme Court feels it is safer today to deal with this issue than it was following the controversial 2020 election.

This is an amazing discussion.

In the Moore v. Harper case – the petitioners argue that the US Supreme Court should determine that the “independent state legislature theory” is correct and that legislatures – not judges – make elections policy in their states.

The petitioners are challenging decisions of their own state supreme courts – in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, respectively – which directly overruled the will of the legislature in redistricting post-census and adopting a new congressional map. In each case, the state supreme courts overruled the legislatures and forced them to adopt new maps.

Late Chief Justice William Rehnquist, along with Late Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Clarence Thomas and possibly Justice Samuel Alito are among recent justices who have openly advocated for the independent state legislature theory – that is, the theory that is actually explained in plain English in the text of the Constitution…sort of like, “the right … to … bear arms shall not be infringed.”

The explosive will be argued this fall, with an opinion of course not coming until after the 2022 election.

Of course. Importantly, SCOTUS could have dealt with these problems previously. The petitioners in these two cases (and scores of others) had previously teed it up, but with the exception of Alito and Thomas, SCOTUS “took a powder.”

Now that the issue is squarely before the Court, we can only hope SCOTUS will do the right thing and simply read the damn text of the Article I, Sec. 4 of the Constitution.

Amazon to acquire Roomba robot vacuum maker for $1.7 billion

Amazon is acquiring the company behind Roombas, adding the robot vacuum product line to its long line of products.

Amazon announced on Friday that it was entering into a definitive merger agreement to acquire iRobot, the maker of Roombas. The Big Tech e-commerce platform will acquire the company for $61 per share, costing Amazon $1.7 billion. The acquisition of the Roomba maker shows increased interest by Amazon in expanding its smart-home market presence, which may offer it access to additional data about its customers.

WINAMP DEBUTS FIRST UPDATE IN YEARS

"We know that saving time matters, and chores take precious time that can be better spent doing something that customers love," said Dave Limp, Amazon's senior vice president of devices and services, in a press statement. "Over many years, the iRobot team has proven its ability to reinvent how people clean with products that are incredibly practical and inventive — from cleaning when and where customers want while avoiding common obstacles in the home, to automatically emptying the collection bin"

"Amazon shares our passion for building thoughtful innovations that empower people to do more at home, and I cannot think of a better place for our team to continue our mission," said Colin Angle, chairman and CEO of iRobot, in a press statement.

Amazon would now have access to data regarding customers' internal home designs via Roomba. It is also likely that Amazon could use Roomba's internal data in synergy with other Amazon home products, such as Alexa and Ring doorbells.

The deal arrives as iRobot reports a 30% decrease in second-quarter sales.

Amazon's acquisition of iRobot comes as the company is under scrutiny from lawmakers over its history of preferring its products in search results. Amazon has been shrinking the number of items it sells under its brands over the last six months, according to the Wall Street Journal. Most products cut from Amazon's product lines were experiencing disappointing sales over several months.

Amazon has also been the target of legislation from Congress on its handling of product preferences. The American Innovation and Choice Online Act, written by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA), is expected to get a vote in the fall. The bill would allow federal antitrust agencies to issue civil penalties to "covered platforms" such as Amazon and Google for unfairly preferencing their products on their platforms.

Amazon has lobbied against the legislation, arguing it would limit popular services such as Amazon Prime's free shipping. The two senators have said that the bill would not do such.

Google bans apps promoting medical misinformation from App Store

Google will now ban apps deemed to be promoting medical misinformation or impersonating government agencies, businesses, or companies from its mobile App Store.

The Big Tech company updated its guidelines on Wednesday for the Android App Store, including additional policies regarding the types of apps allowed on the platform. Most notably, the company is expanding its opposition to apps that it concludes are spreading medical misinformation.

FACEBOOK PARENT META REPORTS FIRST-EVER DECLINE IN REVENUE IN SECOND QUARTER

"We don't allow apps containing misleading health claims that contradict existing medical consensus, or can cause harm to users," the guidelines read. These include apps providing misleading claims about vaccines, apps advocating unapproved treatments, and apps advocating conversion therapy.

The guidelines also restrict app developers from alleging that they are connected to certain companies. For example, the guidelines list a news aggregator app that attempts to claim in its developer title that it is related to Google as an example of what not to do. The guidelines also restrict apps from using national emblems or logos from businesses to suggest it is an official app.

The guidelines also enforced new restrictions on in-app advertising. Google will not allow apps to display full-screen ads that are not closable after 15 seconds.

The new health misinformation and impersonation policies will go into effect on Aug. 31.

President Joe Biden's coronavirus diagnosis may have disrupted his day. But it's not giving the White House any pause about how it's handled the pandemic threat that still looms over his presidency. White House officials on Thursday struck a defiant tone in the face of questions about Biden's health and their own Covid protocols, downplaying the risks facing the president and dismissing fresh concerns about their approach to a virus that's killed more than a million Americans - and is surging across the country once again.

The New Hotness? Robot dog with machine gun hints of a dystopian future.

The design of the robot looks a lot like Go1 robot dog Unitree Robotics makes. For example, the back side of the device in the video exhibits a distinct pattern on a plastic covering between its hind legs. A similar design is visible on devices in Unitree’s promotional material.

The Hangzhou-based company is selling the Go1 model of the robot for $2,700 on its website, a fraction of over $75k that American-made Spot would cost its owner.

While the robot doesn’t seem to handle recoil very well with the gun on ‘burst fire’ mode, switching to a ‘semi-automatic’ setting allows the robot to hit targets without moving around too much.

The robot in the video has patches on its surfaces with insignia associated with the Russian military: a Russian flag on one side and what seems to be a Wolf, which Russian special forces use.

Cкайнет улыбается.

We’ve tried, Emma, let’s give each other that much.

Yet after 18 months of trying, it is time that we recognize that this relationship is not what we had hoped it would be at the start. After our first shy, fumbling yet adequate attempts in early 2021, I hoped for so much more might come of this relationship. I hoped it might become something breathtaking, historic.

Alas, it is clear to us both, I am sure, that it is best we move on. For both of us there are others out there to whom we will be more suited.

Reasons? I will share but two, minimizing them so as to make our parting sweet, and not acrimonious.

Wednesday I spoke to a group including journalists from Reuters and New York Times. I held up two items:•

• the DHS-CISA report (the one I call “Patrick Byrne was right again, again”) wherein the DHS at last acknowledges that there are nine severe security failures in election equipment in widespread use across the USA during November 2020. CISA shifted their position from “the most secure election in history” to one where acknowledge they do not know if those vulnerabilities were exploited in November 2020 (but will say mere that they are not aware of evidence that it was, which is a hell of a lot weaker claim).
• the Mesa County Forensic Report #3 (by Texas A&M Computer Science Professor Emeritus Walter Daugherty and cybersecurity CEO Jeff O’Donnell) which proves that those vulnerabilities were indeed exploited in Mesa County, Colorado in both November 2020, and April 2021 (a city election in Grand Junction, Colorado).

In sum, last month the DHS-CISA confirmed that the election equipment used in 2020 was extremely vulnerable to hacking, and the Mesa Report #3 proves that it was hacked.

Late last week I was in Vegas at the invitation of the Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officers Association . In the audience were reporters from (among other news outlets) both the New York Times and Reuters . I noted publicly that both had parroted the “baseless/Big Lie” claim endlessly, so I thought they would welcome a chance to explain why they either:

• still believed our allegations were baseless;
• would agree that our claims now indeed had a “base” (the DHS report gives overwhelming base to our concerns and the Mesa County Report #3 is decisive on top of that).
  

Given the amount of ink these publications spilled in their now-doomed attempt to maintain that our concerns were baseless, surely a minimal respect for intellectual integrity would cause them to leap at opportunity either to defend or reform their beliefs. So I gave them opportunity.

Instead, as is shown in the video, all the journalists in the audience (New York Times, Reuters, and others) sat staring into their soup without a word. The same people who thought nothing of breaching standards of ordinary journalism by insisting upon a position that has since been retracted by the DHS-CISA and shattered by the Mesa County Report #3, turn out to refuse to open their mouths to provide even the most minimal defense of claims that they repeated endlessly but which have now proven to be erroneous (per DHS-CISA). Like barroom loudmouths who finally got called out and who sat glumly staring into their beers (a tendency I frequently noticed when I was a lad), the best journalists that New York Times and Reuters have to field…. turned out to be able to offer precisely 0 support or defense of the central claim made endlessly in their stories for 18 months, a claim which has now been shattered by the admission of DHS-CISA and the finding of the Mesa County Forensic Report #3.

Later I sat with one such highly regarded (“Pulitzer Prize winning”) journalist privately. We spoke for some time, I answered many of her questions, then I asked this Pulitzer Prize winning journalist:

Me: “I have a quick question. I mean no disrespect, I’m just treating you as an equal, as you are. Here [holding up DHS-CISA report] is the DHS-CISA statement from a month ago saying—”

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “I’ve seen that, yeah.”

Patrick: “Nine serious flaws –“:

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “I think the only issue with that-“

Patrick: “Now we have found [waiving Mesa document] exactly what they [waiving DHS-CISA document] has said-“

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “I don’t want to get into a debate about all this stuff, I’m just really interested in covering-“

Patrick: “But here’s my question: On what basis could one now say that our concerns are ‘baseless’?”

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “This [indicating DHS report] is not related to the 2020 … this is not….”

Patrick: “This says that the machines that the 2020 election was run on have nine serious –“

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “This does not say that there’s a… um… it’s not saying that there’s um…proof that um..”

Patrick: “But 18 months ago-“

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “the 2020 election…”

Patrick: [holding DHS – CISA report] “It says these failures would let people plant malicious software. There’s nine of them. Says ‘it could be done and we don’t know if it was done or not.’ They are no longer saying ‘It wasn’t done.’ They’re saying ‘We don’t know if it was done, ‘we have no evidence if it was done.’ That’s quite different. Now having said that, this [Mesa Report 3] says that it was done. So on that basis, would you agree that it would be inappropriate to use the word ‘baseless’ to describe- ”

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “I have looked at both of those reports carefully and I would not agree with that assessment.”

Me: “But you would agree that it is not ‘baseless’ anymore given that-“

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “I talked to many experts who have some really serious issues with these reports. “

Me: “I am not asking you to agree with the reports. I am just asking if, given these will you agree that it would be inappropriate to use the word ‘baseless’ to-“

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “I am not going to get into a semantic argument with you. I’m really not looking to do that.”

Me: “I’m really just asking you to defend a word that you have used in every article.“

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “No, yeah, I don’t know if I use it. I mean, I am not going to get into a big argument with you.”

Me: “I am just asking you to defend your words… On what grounds now is it ‘baseless,’ why could it possibly be ‘baseless’, [holding up DHS and Mesa] given these two -”

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “Neither of those things do – actually… say anything specific about the 2020 election.”

Me: “This [holding DHS] says it is entirely possible, and this [holding Mesa] says that it did happen.”

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “But the DA has said that [Mesa Report] report is false. Plus that report does not cover, does not say anything about any of the states where you are claiming that Trump won.”

Me: “Actually it does, in this sense. The DHS now says that the machines the 2020 election was run on had these vulnerabilities. While CISA says they have no evidence that they were exploited, wouldn’t a natural question be to ask DHS, ‘Well have you looked? You say there’s no evidence: have you looked? Did you look in any of the six places?’ Yet no journalist has asked them that. Does that seem odd?”

Pulitzer Prize Journalist: “I mean, I’m really just here doing reporting on, what the movement is, what your guys are doing, and one of the things I wanted to talk about is what you guys are doing in the eagle…, what it is…”

Patrick: “Fair enough”[I stopped bayoneting the wounded, and moved on].

That, Emma, is the best that one of your competitors has to offer. The kind of journalist whose Pulitzers and peer recognition are broadly touted by her publication.

Yet, while I cannot quite put my finger on it, Emma, I found my conversation with your journalistic colleague somehow… unsatisfying. Almost like I had been hoping to have tea with an Econ major with whom I expected an intelligent discussion, and ended up with a Policy Studies washout for whom the entire discussion had to be dumbed down then abandoned.

It got me thinking about us, Emma. I reached out and gave you the same opportunity, and you flatly refused to discuss this with me, even more obstinately than she did. You wouldn’t even venture the most minimal defense of your and your paper’s insistence on the “baselessness” of claims that are now fully “based” by the publication of DHS-CIA and Mesa #3 . You refused to make the most minimal defense of language that has appeared in your articles and newspaper for 18 months.

It got me thinking whether this intellectual relationship was really as fulfilling as I had hoped.

I mean no disrespect. I understand that journalism has become about other priorities than the old, tired ones about informing the public of the truth. Still, I began to think about how after all this time, we really have made no progress in our relationship beyond those early, heady days.

Then Friday I saw in your publication another article about me that, from the falsehoods and flat errors of its opening sentences to its repetition of the tired “baseless” narrative, would fail a undergraduate writing assignment in any credible journalism course. It got me, at last, to think about the question of whether, after 18 months, our relationship has progressed as I’d hoped. Or does it leave me with that same vaguely unsatisfying sense that Ms. Pulitzer did above… there must be another out there who is right for me.

Well since you ask, yes there was a second reason.

I am of the school that maintains that best predictor for a stable, long-term relationship is “shared values”. Along those lines, one of the things I liked about you from the start was your book, How to Raise a Boy. It was written from the same pre-analytical worldview your other writing displays, and a more thorough catechism of unfalsiable assertions could scarcely be found this side of a Scientologist’s training manual. Still, I saw you wrestling with issues like those I spent years of my own working through, and I admired you for it. Through your book, I came to like you.

But as you have known for 18 months (“The Bribery & Blackmail of Hillary Clinton & the Drug Rape & Murder of Maria Butina Deep State Stings Finale), I maintain that in 2015-2016 some federal officials not only bribed and blackmailed another federal official, but in addition, in order to complete a crime they were arranging they also buried what they believed to be an aggravated rape-and-murder (though, thankfully, the rape-and-murder was just a sting operation I authorized), then went on to railroad that same woman into 18 months in a windowless box to be fed a bowl of mush three times/day through a mail-slot.

I would have thought that for a woman of such sensibilities as your own, this behavior from federal officials would have drawn a parade of stories from you. Or perhaps one hard-hitting story. Or at least an inquiry. A couple phone calls to the officials involved…?

But Emma, you never even asked a follow-up question. Never asked about other witnesses to talk to or other evidence I suggested you might use to corroborate.

That is to say, you have chosen to take part in a cover-up whereby one woman was bribed and blackmailed, and another woman was (in the eyes of those same officials) manipulated seduced, drugged, and raped by a guy plotting to murder her, and the federal officials just let it ride, so they could continue having the girl manipulated into playing her role in a Russian Collusion Delusion that they were then arranging.

In sum, you and the Washington Post have taken part in covering up the bribery and blackmail of a federal official, and moreover, a rape-and-murder (that never really happened, but that is beside the point), and the railroad-conviction of that same woman. Is that really the right way “to raise a boy”? Is the boy you want to raise the kind who would cover-up things like bribery and blackmail, let alone rape and murder? I hope not.

Sadly, it has become clear that our values are not as aligned as I’d hoped. A relationship such as ours can tolerate a certain difference in worldviews, but when it comes to aggravated rape and murder, I am a purest: I am against it. No room for a woman who would let that slide to fit her political objectives. (There are nights I wondered, Is Emma actually a journalist, that she will not bite on that? Or could just be someone looking for evidence to sustain pre-invented narratives useful to the WaPo? Naw!)

So it is with sadness that your unwillingness to engage with the DHS-CISA statement and Mesa Report #3, along with the willingness of you and your newspaper to cover-up briber and blackmail, and (worse yet) rape and murder, has made me suspect our values are not as aligned as I had hoped.

We have taken this ride as far as we are able to take it together. Let us part with kindness, but let us part.

Most respectfully,

Patrick M. Byrne

PS Yes, it is true that you may have been seeing me around with another of late. And yes, frankly, she does for me those things you would never do. For example, the whole world (including the J6 committee) has realized that it all comes down to what was discussed in the Oval Office the evening of December 18, 2020: since I was one of four people in the room and have no obligations to refrain from speaking, I would have thought my account of that Oval Office meeting might have been interesting to you and your publication. Yet for 18 months you have dodged it. Another has shown up and given me what I sought on our first date.

A man has needs, Emma.

Apparently, they’re still mad, even after an 11-year break.

Rage Against the Machine is touring again, and in a recent show, they took aim at the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that conferred a right to abortion.

During a show Saturday at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin, the band put captions on a large screen behind them that, with one saying “abort the Supreme Court,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

“Forced birth in a country that is the only wealthy country in the world without any guaranteed paid parental leave at the national level,” read one caption. “Forced birth in a country where Black birth-givers experience maternal mortality two to three times higher than that of white birth-givers,” said another.

“Forced birth in a country where gun violence is the number one cause of death among children and teenagers,” said a third caption.

Then in all caps came: “ABORT THE SUPREME COURT.”

Lead singer Zack de La Rocha yelled out “yeah!” and “freedom!” over guitarist Tom Morello’s guitar riffs as the captions were shown.

The band, whose last put out an album in 2000 and hasn’t toured in more than a decade, joined a slew of musicians, artists, and actors who have scorned the high court’s decision. Last month, Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong suggested he plans to relocate, saying “there’s just too much f***ing stupid in the world to go back to that miserable f***ing excuse for a country.”

“I’m … renouncing my citizenship. I’m f***ing coming here,” he said in London while on tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer. “Oh, I’m not kidding, you’re going to get a lot of me in the coming days.”

At the Glastonbury Festival in June, singer Phoebe Bridgers led the crowd in a chant against the Supreme Court. And singer Olivia Rodrigo said on stage, “I’m devastated and terrified. So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this.”
