- Millionaire Trophy Hunter Crushed To Death by Elephants
Wikimedia Commons An American trophy hunter died in Gabon during a hunting expedition after he was trampled by multiple elephants, The Daily Mail reported on Friday. Collect Africa, the company that organized the $40,000 trip, confirmed the death of 75-year-old Ernie Dosio, a vineyard owner from Northern California. Dosio owned Pacific AgriLands, which boasts a 12,000-acre vineyard in Modesto, California. He lived in Lodi. The Daily Mail said Dosio had amassed quite a collection of animal heads and was looking to bag a yellow-backed duiker, which is a small and elusive antelope. Instead, he and his guide unwittingly stumbled upon five female African forest elephants and a calf: The startled elephant herd immediately charged Mr Dosio and his professional hunter. The elephants were so well hidden in the dense undergrowth that they appeared “as if from nowhere,” and the professional with the high-powered rifle was just flung aside. He was seriously injured and lost his gun in the thick bush as the elephants attacked the terrified hunter with just a shotgun, who was then brutally trampled underfoot. “Ernie has been hunting since he could hold a rifle and has many trophies,” one big game hunter who knew Dosio told The Daily Mail. “Although many disagree with big-game hunting, all Ernie’s hunts were strictly licensed and above board and were registered as conservation in culling animal numbers.” Dosio had two adult sons. In 2017, President Donald Trump created an advisory board meant to help rejigger federal rules regarding the importation of animal heads and hides of African elephants and other animals. The board, which included several big game hunters, was dissolved in 2020 amid lawsuits. During his first term, Trump also rescinded an Obama-era policy that banned hunters from importing keepsakes from elephant hunts in Zambia and Zimbabwe.The post Millionaire Trophy Hunter Crushed To Death by Elephants first appeared on Mediaite.

During a Friday appearance on Fox News, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) defended a U.S. special forces soldier accused of profiting off bets tied to the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, comparing the case to “insider trading” on Capitol Hill. Federal prosecutors allege Gannon Ken Van Dyke, who has since been arrested, used nonpublic knowledge from the planning and execution of the January operation to place a series of bets on the prediction market Polymarket, turning roughly $33,000 into more than $400,000. Speaking with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Luna said, “We have someone in the military who successfully helped plan one of, I would say, the most daring successful missions in U.S. history, and because he placed a bet — in reading the write-up by the Department of Justice, Laura, I did not see that he leaked classified information, so that’s pretty big on this, and I don’t agree with what he did.” She continued: However, I don’t think that this is true justice, and I say that because, as you had stated, this man is facing decades in prison. Meanwhile, every single day on Capitol Hill, there are many members of Congress on both sides that are currently engaging in insider trading, and I actually did, Laura, decide to help champion this cause and try to get a bipartisan bill across the finish line that [Rep.] Hakeem Jeffries [D-NY] then turned around and blocked. So, I do think that Congress as a whole, we have insider trading happening every single day. We have to have legislation to stop it. It’s not right. It’s working against the interest of the American people, and it is corruption. But again, this individual, is it fair for him to be facing decades? “No,” interjected Ingraham. Luna went on, saying, “While [Rep.] Nancy Pelosi [D-CA] walks free? No, it’s not.” Watch the clip above via Fox News.The post Anna Paulina Luna Defends Soldier Indicted in Betting Scandal, Compares Him to Nancy Pelosi first appeared on Mediaite.

Cost overruns were just ridiculous.” “That is not uncommon in Washington writ large,” said CNN’s Kasie Hunt. “How much is the ballroom costing?” “The government got a bid to redo the reflecting pool for, like, $3 billion — some ridiculous amount of money,” said Urban. “So, Trump went down with [Secretary of the Interior Doug] Burgum, and Trump’s pool contractor, and they’re recoating, they recaulk, they’re redoing the entire reflecting pool for like $2 million bucks, and it’s gonna last 40 years.” “Doesn’t President Trump have anything better to do?” questioned Garcia-Navarro. “Oh, my lord.” “He does! He’s a good steward of everyone’s dollars, Lulu,” said Urban. On Friday evening, Trump posted a celebration of the new reflecting pool on Truth Social, writing: “This is the Reflecting Pool at The Lincoln Memorial. Two thousand five hundred feet, the length of the tallest Building in the World. Starting the final phase of Renovation that was supposed to cost 301 Million Dollars, and take three years, and was instead done, with the help of Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, and his entire Department, and a much better final result – 2 Million Dollars in one week! I do many such things for Government and, as President, it is my Honor to do so. This is just one of them. Another, and one far more exciting, is Most Favored Nations for Prescription Drugs, where the United States paid the highest price in the World, and now they are paying the lowest, with a drop of 50, 60, 70, and even 80%! President DONALD J. TRUMP” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post ‘Doesn’t President Trump Have Anything Better To Do?’: CNN Guest Hits POTUS for Fixating on Reflecting Pool first appeared on Mediaite.

- Fox News Guest Warns He’s About to Offer ‘Outlandish’ Idea to Stop Immigra...During a Friday appearance on Fox News, former Mumford & Sons banjoist Winston Marshall warned he was about to offer an “outlandish” idea on how to stop immigration across the English Channel — and he wasn’t kidding. Marshall was on-air with Fox News’ Will Cain, speaking about the recent three-year deal between the U.K. and France, which aims to curb immigration in the area by increasing surveillance and deploying more on-the-ground officers. “It’s a topic I’m pretty angry about,” said Marshall. “We have had tens of thousands coming across the channel. These are military-aged men. They are not refugees. They are not asylum seekers. They are economic migrants, and they are not fleeing a war-torn country — last time I checked. There are lots of reasons to flee France, don’t get me wrong, but war isn’t one of them.” Marshall went on to criticize both Prime Minister Keir Starmer and former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, directing a comment to Starmer on the new deal: “We’ve already tried this,” and “the French have no incentive whatsoever to fulfill on this pledge.” “If the U.K were serious about stopping refugees and illegal immigrants, what would that look like?” asked Cain. “This is an outlandish idea,” said Marshall. “I think it’s actually feasible. We’ve got to build a giant wall across the Channel. This isn’t talked about much. I think if you consider that we’ve spent a billion pounds now for six years trying to deter small boat crossings — it’s not happened — we could build a floating wall that’s mined across the channel.” Cain questioned the idea, responding, “It does sound like an extreme idea — a floating wall. It left me to wonder why don’t you just patrol the English Channel?” “We couldn’t even patrol the channel if we wanted to,” said Marshall. “The Royal Navy Fleet, apart from our nuclear subs, we only have four assets in the entire Navy that are seaworthy.” Watch the full clip above via Fox News.The post Fox News Guest Warns He’s About to Offer ‘Outlandish’ Idea to Stop Immigration first appeared on Mediaite.
