Burbank mayor fires back after drag queen spanking video prompts 'vile hate speech'

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:31:16 GMT

Burbank Mayor Konstantine Anthony is facing criticism from largely conservative circles after he was recorded on video being spanked by a drag queen over the weekend, but he's defending his actions and arguing that some of those critics are responding out of anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry.In the video, Anthony can be seen getting spanked, a moment the clip shows synced to the Village People's "Macho Man."Comments on the video, which was posted by the Armenian-American podcast WiseNuts, largely disparaged Anthony and his decision to participate. For its part, the WiseNuts account added the hashtags "#beaman," "#clownshow" and "#embarrassing.""This is an excellent example of the humiliation a man will subject himself to in order to pander to the degenerate alphabet cult crowd. He debases the honor of elected office every time he appears in public," wrote James Clarke, a candidate for state Assembly."I'm so proud of our Mayor in Burbank. He achieved the maximum level of stupidity," added Alex Bad...

Some California inflation relief checks still haven't been sent: Is yours missing?

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:31:16 GMT

Nearly a year after California started issuing the Middle Class Tax Refund, colloquially known as inflation relief checks, a "very small number" of eligible recipients still haven't received their payments, the Franchise Tax Board said. The payments, which range from $200 to $1,050 depending on the recipient, started going out on Oct. 7, 2022. Since then, the FTB says it has issued about 7.2 million direct deposits and mailed about 9.6 million debit cards. The total amount of money sent out tops $9 billion, according to the agency. While the vast majority of those eligible for the tax refund have long received what they are due, about 5,000 new payments are still being processed, the FTB told Nexstar. They should be processed by the end of the month, the agency said. Is it too late to claim your California inflation relief check? If you believe you're eligible, but haven't received your payment yet, the FTB first suggests you review the eligibility requirements and double check y...
