Coldplay concert in Malaysia can be stopped by organizers if the band misbehaves, government says

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Organizers of Wednesday's Coldplay concert in Malaysia can stop the show if the British rock band misbehaves, a minister said as the government rejected Muslim conservatives' calls to cancel the show. Led by the country's opposition bloc, Muslim conservatives have protested the concert over Coldplay’s support for the LGBTQ+ community. Recently, they also pushed for the concert to be halted in solidarity with Palestinians killed in the Israel-Hamas war. Communication and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said he doesn't foresee any problem with Coldplay's first concert in Malaysia later in the night. Security has been beefed up for the show that is expected to draw some 75,000 people at a stadium outside Kuala Lumpur.“Yes, it's one of the things we have discussed with...

We’ve Reached the ‘Perfect Phone Call’ Part of the Biden Bribery Scandal – RedState

Rep. Dan Goldman made the rounds on Sunday again to play clean-up crew. The freshman congressman has spent most of his short tenure operating as a legal apologetic for the Biden family, and often badly. Goldman’s latest gaslighting session happened with Jake Tapper on CNN. In it, not only did the congressman defend Hunter Biden, but he suggested that there was nothing at all questionable about Joe Biden meeting with his son’s business associates. Goldman: "The president saying hello to people when he puts them on the phone is not at all doing anything to influence any policy." pic.twitter.com/wQjDjjqX8j — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 13, 2023 There are really two angles here.

Elon Musk’s New ‘X’ CEO Sets Off a Firestorm With Censorship Comments, Touts Her ‘Autonomy’ – RedState

Elon Musk’s recently appointed X (formerly Twitter) CEO Linda Yaccarino set off a firestorm on Thursday after emphasizing to potential advertisers that a censorship regime would be in place. Touting her “autonomy” from Musk, Yaccarino stated that “lawful but awful” speech will be throttled, labeling the strategy as “freedom of speech, not reach.” Naturally, those who suffered under the censorship tactics of X’s old regime weren’t exactly thrilled with Yaccarino’s statements nor her enthusiasm in delivering them. X CEO Linda Yaccarino: "Lawful but awful" content will be hidden. Can you tell us how "awful" content will be defined, @elonmusk? pic.twitter.com/gUKP210gyX — Ben Swann (@BenSwann_) August 10, 2023 X CEO Linda Yaccarino: "we've introduced a new policy called… 'freedom of spe...

Sikh Man Who Turned the Tables on Shoplifter Facing Criminal Charges – RedState

As RedState reported, a Sikh convenience store owner turned the tables on a shoplifter as he attempted to get away with thousands of dollars of stolen merchandise. The viral scene unfolded in California, showing a man shoveling entire shelves worth of tobacco and other products into a trash can while taunting the owner with proclamations that “there’s nothing you can do.” The shoplifter quickly learned that wasn’t true, though, as he was tackled to the ground and beaten with a rod. Sikh grocery store owner was told that "there ain't nothing you can do" repeatedly and that "ayy, just let him go" as they were being robbed. The Sikhs disagreed. pic.twitter.com/ZIb5CVLMNl — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) August 2, 2023 Apparently, while many California cities have no desire to actually en...

Ukrainian ‘Kamikaze’ Boat Blows Up Russian Tanker – RedState

Footage of what the press has labeled a Ukrainian “kamikaze” boat blowing up a Russian tanker has been released. In it, you see the boat pulling up to seemingly identify the target before turning in a circle and coming back to strike the anchored vessel. That comes on the heels of a similar event that happened a day earlier when the Ukrainians attacked a Russian landing ship in the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk. That boat was heavily damaged and was eventually towed to shore for repairs. It’s important to note that while the term “kamikaze” is being used by many outlets, the boat was actually an unmanned drone. Excellent footage of the strike on the Russian tanker in the Black Sea, which was originally confused for an attack against the illegal bridge. Obviously, this incident was ov...

Hunter Biden’s Legal Team Is ‘Fuming,’ Personally Attacks Judge for Exposing the Plea Deal – RedState

Hunter Biden’s legal team is none too happy about their sweetheart plea deal being blown up, and who can blame them? They thought they had this thing wrapped up after allegedly colluding with the DOJ to garner a wink-and-nod deal for global immunity, protecting the president’s son from future prosecution unrelated to his tax crimes while the investigation technically remained open. But while the two sides expected their deal to be rubber-stamped, Judge Maryellen Noreika had other ideas. She pressed prosecutors on the plea, getting them to admit there was no precedent for it, and after two hours of her questioning exposing the disagreements between the two sides, things finally blew up. According to a new report, that left Hunter Biden’s lawyers “fuming” in the aftermath. Hours after th...

It Sure Looks Like Hunter Biden and the DOJ Were Trying to Pull a Fast One on the Judge During Plea Hearing – RedState

As RedState reported, the judge handling Hunter Biden’s plea agreement threw a wrench in the process on Wednesday morning after it became apparent that there were issues with the sweetheart deal. That revelation came after a night of controversy when someone representing Hunter Biden’s legal team called the court to get an amicus brief removed from the docket. The clerk’s notes indicated some subterfuge was afoot, but after the judge demanded an explanation, Hunter Biden’s lawyers submitted a letter asserting it was a misunderstanding. As the actual hearing began, the judge was immediately skeptical of what the DOJ and Hunter Biden’s team had worked out. Hunter Biden’s lawyers have proclaimed for weeks that their acceptance of the plea deal brings an end to the five-year investigation ...

Kevin McCarthy Says Impeachment Inquiry of Joe Biden Being Prepared – RedState

Is Joe Biden finally about to face the first steps of impeachment? That’s what House Speaker Kevin McCarthy signaled on Monday evening. While appearing on Fox News, McCarthy laid out the case that Joe Biden accepted bribes and funneled money through a variety of shell companies. He then said at the end of the segment with Sean Hannity that “this is rising to the level of an impeachment inquiry.” MCCARTHY: "This is rising to the level of impeachment inquiry…" pic.twitter.com/NmXh6ATrEG — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) July 25, 2023 MCCARTHY: We would know none of this if Republicans had not taken the majority.
