Wanted to be a pilot

Hollywood star Margot Robbie — As reported by OKMagazine.com, Hollywood star Margot Robbie recently gained a notable new fan.

“Margot Robbie… oh my god, one can only dream,” Hollywood legend John Travolta said. “I just love her, and she was in one of my favorite series called ‘Pan Am.’

Breathtaking — “Instead of defending it, she was much more fascinated with how Quentin would respond to it,” he said. “And she wanted to be a pilot – both of those things made me like her even more – and, she’s gorgeous, just breathtaking.”

A number of critics

We all are DEI hires — At the Emmy Awards, actor John Leguizamo said, “Everyone in this room tonight has dedicated their lives to diligence, excellence and imagination, so we all are DEI hires.”

As reported by OKMagazine.com, Leguizamo has been outspoken in his criticism of conservatives and their effort to undermine DEI standards.

Flag Scandal Influenced Supreme Court Deeper Than Previously Known

Two incidents

Public support — OKMagazine.com has confirmed that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s wife was reported to have flown a “Stop the Steal” flag at their home in 2021, leading to numerous calls for Alito to step down.

The flag was largely associated with Trump supporters’ efforts to contest the 2020 election results. Alito’s wife has previously been caught up in controversy, particularly regarding her public support of right-wing leaders.

A dispute with neighbors — The situation ultimately escalated into a dispute with neighbors, and Alito himself noted that the flag was flown in response to ongoing political conflict in their neighborhood. “It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs,” Alito said.

Chief Justice John Roberts — Just days after the incident was reported on, Chief Justice John Roberts took over the majority opinion in the Fischer v. United States case from Alito.

Significant reason — The change was unusual, OKMagazine.com confirmed, as such a switch typically requires a significant reason. Critics of Alito were quick to note that the change came just days after the New York Times reported on the flag incident.

Majority ruling — Alito remained on the case and was part of the majority ruling, asserting he had no knowledge of the flag’s display and denied any need for recusal.

Two incidents — “The two incidents you cite do not meet the conditions for recusal,” Alito said.

That flag — “As I have stated publicly, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the flying of that flag. I was not even aware of the upside-down flag until it was called to my attention,” Alito pressed.

Outraged Sparked By Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric

The threat

Bomb threats — Elementary schools in Springfield, Ohio, were evacuated for the second day in a row due to bomb threats, as confirmed by OKMagazine.com. The city has faced unfounded allegations regarding Haitian immigrants largely propagated by former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance.

“Three schools in Springfield were evacuated or closed Friday, based on guidance from police, school officials said,” local NBC affiliate reported.

The threats follow inflammatory remarks made by Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, who have spread unsubstantiated claims about Haitian immigrants allegedly stealing and eating pets. The bomb threat specifically referenced these false claims, leading to the evacuation of multiple schools and other public buildings.

Springfield City School District — “Officials with the Springfield City School District said that based on information they got from the Springfield Police Division, students at Perrin Woods and Snowhill Elementary were evacuated and moved to another district location,” the report added.

The threat — “Police Chief Allison Elliott said that due to the seriousness of the threat, officials evacuated multiple buildings in addition to City Hall, including BMV Springfield Driver’s Exam Station, Ohio License Bureau Southside, Springfield Academy of Excellence and Fulton Elementary School.”

The situation — Despite the situation, Trump continued to promote anti-immigrant rhetoric on social media, further inciting fear and criticism from various commentators who condemned the dangerous implications of such rhetoric. Amid the bomb threats, former President Donald Trump wrote to social media about his efforts to help unseat Democratic U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio.

Very good chance — “Bernie Moreno has a very good chance of winning Ohio against a Radical Left Democrat, Sherrod Brown, with what is happening in Springfield, and other parts of the State,” Trump said. “Ohio is being inundated with Illegal Migrants, mostly from Haiti, who are taking over Towns and Villages at a level and rate never seen before.”

Memes of cats — Trump also shared memes of cats, including one with them holding a sign that says, “Don’t let them eat us, vote for Trump.”

His interests — Political science professor Michael McDonald said, “Trump could stop this but he won’t because he believes it serves his interests. It’s the same J6 behavior of spreading false conspiracy theories to inflame his supporters and then sitting back and watching instead of stopping it.”

Haitian migrants — Numerous outlets have debunked the false rumor that Haitian migrants were stealing and eating pets.

The rumor — The rumor was initially popularized through posts from running mate J.D. Vance about his own state.
