"LAUGHIN' KAMALA"

J.D. Vance Haunted Again By Past Remarks ... Calls Childless People Sociopaths

LESS MENTALLY STABLE
The Chris Buskirk Show

J.D. Vance’s "childless cat lady" comment wasn’t a one off … turns out the Republican VP nominee has history of saying offensive things about liberal-minded people, including calling them sociopaths.

CNN just published an article explaining that Vance sat for a November 2020 podcast interview during which he said people in our country's leadership class were "more sociopathic" than those with kids, which makes them "less mentally stable" – seemingly referring to women.

In the podcast, Vance also labeled commenters on X -- formerly Twitter -- as the "most deranged" and "most psychotic" because they're also typically childless, while insinuating they're members of the Democratic party.

R. Kelly Asks U.S. Supreme Court to Overturn Sex Convictions You Can't Try Me for a Law Passed After the Fact

UPDATE

12:03 PM PT -- R. Kelly's attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, came on 'TMZ Live' Tuesday to discuss her client's SCOTUS filing in more depth -- and she made a pretty compelling argument.

OF SUPREME INTEREST
TMZ.com

One other interesting thing ... Bonjean says she actually thinks this current version of the Supreme Court is perfect to hear R. Kelly's case -- and it sounds like believes they'd actually side with him if they were to take it up on their docket ... politics be damned!!!

R. Kelly is asking the United States Supreme Court to throw out his convictions for possession of child porn and inducing minors to have sex – claiming his alleged acts occurred decades ago and the charges were therefore barred by the statute of limitations.

Here's the deal ... when R. Kelly was accused in 2020 of possessing child pornography and engaging in sexual acts with underage girls way back in the mid to late-1990s, he argued the statute of limitations had already run its course.

But, prosecutors argued a 2003 law – called the PROTECT Act – made the statute of limitations indefinite for child sex crimes.

We're told the driver of the car got out to check on Pax, who was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. Police and paramedics arrived on the scene, and witnesses tell us Pax was experiencing hip pain, and had apparently suffered a head injury ... so, he was rushed to an L.A. hospital for treatment.

'OWN' Doc on J.D. Vance Couch Sex Slams Harmful ... To Real Furniture Kink Lovers (Yes, It's a Thing!!!)

Sen. J.D. Vance is getting roasted 'cause people think he had sex with a couch, and while it might sound funny ('cause it is) ... one sex ed expert says all the jokes are shaming folks who do, in fact, like to bang furniture.

COMPLETELY COMMON
TMZ.com

Like we said, nothing like that is really in his book, but the post went viral anyway, and J.D.'s been ridiculed ever since. Thing is ... while most of us might be laughing, the mockery is actually harmful to a community of folks legitimately turned on by sex with objects ... and that's according to renowned doctor, Laura Berman.

'Hawk Tuah' Girl Still Trademarking on That Thang!!! BBQ Sauce, Betting & More

Ya gotta hand it to Haliey Welch ... the Internet's "Hawk Tuah" girl keeps spitting up new ideas to build a merchandising empire, attaching her catchphrase to all sorts of products and, umm ... services.

According to new trademark filings filed by Haliey's company, and obtained by TMZ, the budding entrepreneur's eyeing a couple of new business ventures -- including a sports betting service, which she notably dubs, "Bet on That Thang."

It appears the betting service will also extend to other types of entertainment services and casino gaming. Haliey hasn't really shown herself to be much of a gambler on social media ... but she'd be wise to get some skin in the gaming/wagering industry.
