UPenn email account hacked, sends vulgar message to students and alumni

Students and alumni of the University of Pennsylvania were surprised to receive a vulgar email from the university’s account after it was hacked Friday.

The university confirmed that the email came from a security breach and that its incident response team was investigating the incident.

‘This is obviously a fake, and nothing in the highly offensive, hurtful message reflects the mission or actions of Penn or of Penn GSE.’

“The University of Pennsylvania is a dogs**t elitist institution full of woke retards. We have terrible security practices and are completely unmeritocratic,” reads the hacked email, which was posted to social media.

“We hire and admit morons because we love legacies, donors, and unqualified affirmative action admits. We love breaking federal laws like FERPA (all your data will be leaked) and Supreme Court rulings like SFFA,” the email continues. “Please stop giving us money.”

The subject heading reads, “We got hacked (Action Required).”

The hackers referred to the Supreme Court decision in favor of the Students for Fair Admissions in 2023 that forbid race-based affirmative action in admissions to colleges. They also accused the college of violating the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which protects students’ school records data.

A university spokesperson released a statement decrying the email.

“A fraudulent email has been circulated that appears to come from the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education,” the statement reads. “This is obviously a fake, and nothing in the highly offensive, hurtful message reflects the mission or actions of Penn or of Penn GSE.”

Judges rule that food stamp benefits cannot be suspended over shutdown — and Trump responds

The threat to cut food aid benefits was ended by two court rulings that said the Trump administration would need to use contingency plans to keep the money flowing.

Democrats and Republicans have been blaming each other for the U.S. Department of Agriculture plan to cut off Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits on Nov. 1.

‘I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT.’

On Friday, judges in Massachusetts and Rhode Island ruled that SNAP benefits could not be cut.

“There is no doubt and it is beyond argument that irreparable harm will begin to occur, if it hasn’t already occurred in the terror it has caused some people about the availability of funding for food, for their family,” said U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Providence.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston similarly ruled that the “suspension of SNAP payments was based on the erroneous conclusion that the contingency funds could not be used to ensure continuation of SNAP payments.”

Both judges McConnell and Talwani were appointed by former President Joe Biden.

The president responded to the rulings in a post on Truth Social.

“Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do,” the president said.

“I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT,” he added. “Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible.”

He went on to blame Democrats for the shutdown and called on Americans to pressure Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York to reopen the government.

“If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay,” Trump added.

About 42 million Americans depend on the SNAP program for food aid. Polling shows that far more Americans blame Democrats for this shutdown than during the first government shutdown during Trump’s first term.

“If you use SNAP benefits, call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW!” Trump concluded.

Google’s AI called Robby Starbuck a predator. Now he’s suing.

People across the world may often look to artificial intelligence tools for answers, but they’re not always right — and sometimes, they’re so wrong that they get sued for defamation.

Conservative activist Robby Starbuck has taken up arms against Google and is suing the tech giant for defamation after its AI tools allegedly linked him to false accusations of sexual assault, child rape, and financial exploitation.

“How did you even find out that all of these lies were being made up, you know, through AI about you?” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales asks Starbuck.

“So, this actually started two years ago, right? And somebody reached out — somebody I don’t know — and said, ‘Hey, have you seen the stuff that Bard is saying about you?’ And so I go, and I check it out because what they said sounded crazy to me,” Starbuck explains.

“I was like, ‘There’s no way that’s actually happening.’ So, I go to Bard, and I check it out myself. And lo and behold, it’s saying that I was a part of January 6, that I was a supporter of the KKK, all this crazy stuff. … It even made an argument, by the way, for the death penalty for me because I offend some Democrats,” he continues.

When he asked the AI about Democrats like Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), the AI refused to speak ill of the politicians, calling it inappropriate.

“So, at that point, I notified Google. I notified their CEO, notified the people in AI there. And in fact, somebody … who worked at Google, they saw what was going on. They said, ‘Please email me. Tell me everything that’s going on,” Starbuck explains.

However, after emailing this person, he was told the employee was resigning.

“And then my lawyers at Dhillon Law have done multiple cease and desists in this year, in 2025, as they’ve rolled out Gemma and Gemini,” he says, noting that both have also defamed him.

Now, Google is claiming that “AI hallucinates.”

“Their AI didn’t just lie. It lied so meticulously and elaborately. It would create fake therapy records, fake police reports, fake court records. It would have full details on the allegations in first-person form with the, you know, sort of point of view of the, quote, ‘victims.’ And then it would impersonate major media outlets, create a fake link to their website and a fake headline so the person would then believe it,” Starbuck tells Gonzales.

And what has happened to Starbuck can have devastating consequences elsewhere.

“And we’ve already seen the data to see that Google and, you know, what they feed to users can flip votes in elections. This is a serious problem,” he says. “You could decide the next president with enough AI defamation.”

AUTOPEN REPORT: This could undo Joe Biden’s presidency

The House Oversight Committee has released its report on Biden’s autopen use as a cover-up of the former president’s mental decline — and while it’s not good, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales isn’t surprised.

“As you probably already guessed, because you have eyeballs and a working brain, there was a coordinated cover-up of his deterioration from the public … but more importantly, the senior Biden staff exercised presidential authority or facilitated executive actions without direct authorization from President Biden himself,” Gonzales says.

“And now that they’ve found all of this out through their report, they consider that any action that was signed with autopen is null and void if it is discovered that Joe Biden did not know about it, which, of course, is the right call,” she continues.

While hundreds of actions were signed with autopen, the question remains as to which ones he knew about.

“I mean, we had all of these pardons, all of these pre-emptive pardons on the way out the door in the 11th hour. … President Autopen was like, ‘Just to be sure, I’m going to sign pardons for all of my family and for Dr. Fauci and Mark Milley and the January 6th fake committee members, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Adam Kinzinger, Jamie Raskin,’” Gonzales mocks.

BlazeTV contributor Breanna Morello points out that the “first big red flag” regarding the autopen scandal was Joe Biden allegedly giving “clemency to a convicted pedophile” who had “thousands of child pornographic images on his devices” and was a “Chinese national.”

“And then the media covered for it. They didn’t actually cover that story … I think I was the only reporter talking about it initially, and then everyone else caught wind of it afterwards,” Morello says.

“So it’s not surprising. I couldn’t imagine why any president would have wanted their legacy to be freeing a convicted pedophile with over 42,000 child pornographic images on their devices. … And the fact that he pardoned the whole J6 committee when they pretend everything was legitimate tells you everything you need to know about all this,” she adds.

Democratic state senator allegedly secretly recorded 2 critics having sex in order to silence them

A Maryland state senator is denying allegations that she threatened to release highly compromising video of a former political consultant to keep her from making public comments about the senator.

Democratic state Sen. Dalya Attar was indicted on charges related to the alleged extortion plot that included her brother Joseph Attar as well as a Baltimore police officer named Kalman Finkelstein.

‘Stay out of this election, the delegate election, and make sure she doesn’t do anything against Dalya throughout this election … or I’ll share this video with everybody you know.’

The three defendants are accused of hiding audio and video recording equipment in the apartment of the consultant in order to gather evidence of her sexual relationship with a married man in 2022. Finkelstein’s family owned the apartment where the woman was living.

They then allegedly threatened to release the recorded evidence unless the two agreed to refrain from making negative statements about Dalya Attar in public. Attar was running for state House delegate at the time.

Prosecutors said that Joseph Attar said to the married man via messages on WhatsApp, “I have hours of footage of you in bed with (Victim 1). Here’s what I need you to do for this to go away permanently.”

Both Dalya Attar and the consultant are members of the Orthodox Jewish community.

“The only thing you need to do is very simple, is to go to (Victim 1) and say to her, ‘Listen, leave Dalya alone. Don’t bring her up anymore to anyone,'” Joseph Attar is accused of saying. “Stay out of this election, the delegate election, and make sure she doesn’t do anything against Dalya throughout this election … or I’ll share this video with everybody you know, everyone she knows, every rabbi in town, your kids, your wife, her daughters.”

Dalya Attar released a statement denying the allegations.

“I ran for public office because of my strong belief in serving my community that I love, and I would never do anything to knowingly jeopardize my constituents’ trust in me,” she said.

“The case centers on the allegations of my former disgruntled employee. We have yet to see any tangible evidence to support the claim that I knew of any illegal actions taken on my behalf,” Dalya Attar added. “I look forward to sharing my side of the story, and believe the truth will be the arbiter of justice.”

Dalya Attar was indicted on eight counts, including conspiracy, extortion via interstate communications, aiding and abetting, and interception and disclosure of a wire.

Finkelstein has been suspended since 2022, according to Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley.

“He has not had police powers since 2022,” Worley added. “We’re going to cooperate completely with the indictment.”

Dalya Attar represents Baltimore City and was appointed to fill a vacancy in the state Senate in January.
