THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1981 — Sandra Day O’Connor was sworn in as the first woman on the U.S. Supreme Court. ----- I IDENTIFY! (NEW YORK POST) Philadelphia teacher and activist Hannah Gann has admitted she lied for years about being Palestinian and Black.

Activists who worked alongside her confronted Gann about her background and have since severed ties with her. ----- J CREW OVERRULED (NEW YORK POST) Texas defense attorney Mariah Medina says a Bexar County judge publicly criticized the sleeveless gray J.Crew shift dress she wore to court, calling it inappropriate and asking whether she had a blazer in her car. Medina says the dress complied with posted rules and had previously been worn in court without objection. The dispute has since turned into a viral courtroom-dress-code debate. ----- AMY! WHAT YOU GONNA DO... (NEW YORK POST) Amy's Kitchen is closing its Santa Rosa manufacturing plant and shifting production to facilities in Oregon and Idaho. About 207 Santa Rosa jobs are affected, while companywide manufacturing cuts total roughly 260 positions when reductions in Idaho are included.

The change triggered hundreds of comments, accusations of ableism and even a call for the venue to be firebombed. The bar apologized, only to face another backlash because its apology lacked alt-text. ----- CAN’T HACK IT (NEW YORK POST) A young California man once described as a hacking prodigy has reportedly been arrested years later in connection with an alleged antisemitic graffiti spree. The New York Post published the report September 23, but independent details remain limited this morning, so the allegations should be treated as allegations unless additional law-enforcement information becomes available. ----- XSHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

She estimates more than $5 million in taxpayer funding is connected to the locations examined. Her observations raise oversight questions, but they do not by themselves establish that the operators committed fraud. ----- MAD MAN MAMDANI (NEW YORK POST) New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is again calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal" and saying he wants Netanyahu arrested when he visits New York for the UN General Assembly.

(FOX NEWS) After the House moved to restrict congressional stock purchases, Rep. Young Kim is targeting another potential path to self-enrichment: earmarks that could indirectly increase the value of property or other financial interests held by lawmakers or their families.

Managers also average more than 15 years with the burger chain. ----- TOSSING SALAD (FOX NEWS) Hoboken’s Tim Donohue tried a modern-day “Super Size Me” experiment by eating exclusively from Sweetgreen for 25 days.

Councilwoman Traci Park later shared the clip, called the idea “public sex huts,” and flatly rejected it. Important distinction: this was a citizen’s public-comment proposal, not a council-sponsored plan or adopted city policy. ------ KEEP PARENTS OUT OF YOUTH SPORTS (Fox News / OutKick) A 41-year-old parent ran onto the field during a U-10 football game in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, and tripped a 9-year-old Case Eagles player who was running toward the end zone. Mount Pleasant police later stopped the man, who admitted tripping the child and was cited for disorderly conduct. The Milwaukee Colts reportedly banned the parent from games, while the boy’s coach said the child was doing fine. ------ NAKED AND NOT AFRAID (New York Post) Houston father Kiante Matlock says a DoorDash driver delivered food to his home completely naked while Matlock’s daughter was also inside. The August 24 delivery was captured on the family’s Ring camera. Matlock discarded the food and reported the incident. DoorDash refunded the order, permanently removed the driver from its platform and called the behavior vulgar and completely unacceptable.----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

NATIONAL DAY: National Red Wine Day — Raise a glass of red wine. BIRTHDAY: Jennifer Coolidge (born 1961) — Actress known for Legally Blonde, The White Lotus, and (Stiffler’s Mom) American Pie. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1963 — Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. ----- GOOD OBSESSION? (OutKick / Fox News) Good Good Golf and Callaway released a driver ad showing co-founder Garrett Clark shoving Good Good member Alexis Miestowski to the ground after she reached for the club. The ad was deleted and Good Good apologized. Callaway later acknowledged that it had approved the ad before publication. The backlash spread beyond social media: retailers reportedly pulled Good Good merchandise, the Big Break X Good Good premiere was delayed, and the future of the November Good Good Championship became a "fluid situation." By Aug. 27, Callaway announced it was cutting ties with Good Good and donating $1 million to programs addressing violence against women. ----- MORON MOURNING (New York Post) NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani publicly mourned the death of Rikers Island inmate Clarence Woodward, who was awaiting trial in the 2024 killing of Jose Miranda. The Post reports Woodward had nearly 30 prior arrests. Miranda's family blasted Mamdani's remarks as insensitive because the mayor's message did not acknowledge their murdered relative. ----- BUT DAD!? (New York Post) San Bernardino-area teens were arrested after an alleged attack connected to a TikTok-driven confrontation involving a father and a jacuzzi.

SCAM LIKELY
Colokum Craft Coffee USE THE PROMO CODE "WSMG15" FOR 15% OFF YOUR COFFEE PURCHASE Boomer Bunker Dischord Become a Bunker Dweller 24 SCAM LIKELY NATIONAL DAY: National Just Because Day — A day to do something kind or fun for no particular reason. BIRTHDAY: Aaron Paul (born 1979) — Actor best known for Breaking Bad. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 2003 — Mars made its closest approach to Earth in nearly 60,000 years. ----- SCAM LIKELY (FTC / Consumer Protection) Your phone used to ring because somebody had your number. Now a scammer can arrive with your number, your relatives, your habits — and maybe a cloned voice that sounds like somebody you love. • AI voice cloning can turn short public audio clips into convincing impersonations. • Caller-ID spoofing and cheap internet calling make mass scam attempts easy to launch and hard to trace. • FTC: consumers reported $3.5 billion lost to imposter scams in 2025. ------ THE NEW PHONE BOOK’S HERE! (FTC / Data Brokers) The old phone book gave strangers a name, address and number. The modern version can assemble far more — public records, online activity, relatives, location information and commercially collected data. • People-search sites are data brokers: they compile information from public records, public profiles and other brokers, then sell or share reports. • The FTC has pursued cases involving sensitive location data and has warned brokers about restrictions on transferring sensitive American data to foreign adversaries. • The punchline: an industry profits from collecting the data, while another industry sells us blocking, monitoring, removal and identity-protection services. ----- THE CLOUD HAS A POWER BILL (U.S. Department of Energy) The scammer is not sitting inside a data center — but the digital economy that makes massive-scale data collection, AI, automation and cloud computing possible lives on physical infrastructure. • AI growth is one driver of rapidly rising data-center electricity demand. • DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scenarios estimate data centers could account for roughly 9.5%–15.3% of U.S. electricity use by 2030. • The Road Rage question: we eliminated the phone book, automated the middleman, monetized the information — and now we need enormous buildings and enormous amounts of electricity to keep the digital machine running. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

BIRTHDAY: Melissa McCarthy (born 1970) — Actress and comedian (Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters, Mike & Molly). THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1968 — The Beatles released the single “Hey Jude.” ----- LEAD STORY — CHEAP THRILLS (New York Post) San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested in Ohio after allegedly responding to an online prostitution ad and agreeing to pay $140 for sex. Reporting says the encounter led him to a mobile-home park, where police arrested him; he later pleaded no contest to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. The NFL said it is reviewing the matter under its personal conduct policy. ----- SECOND STORY — 911 ON TRIAL (Fox News) Fox News reports that the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, a Smithsonian affiliate, uses its 9/11 exhibit and anniversary programming to emphasize discrimination and government actions affecting Arab and Muslim communities after the attacks. The museum has received federal grant funding. The report contrasts that emphasis with the 2,977 people killed on September 11, 2001 and notes continuing political scrutiny over how federally connected museums present American history. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com
