VIDEONo, I did NOT photoshop Kasie Hunt's Twitter bio to make her look like an over the top biased flack for the DNC. That Twitter bio you see was created by Kasie Hunt herself (at least until she takes it down out of embarrassment). Yeah, look at how Kasie and Joe Biden hold each other's hands as they smilingly gaze into each other eyes. Love is in the air. For Kasie such a pic on her Twitter bio also acts as a CNN job security virtue signal. And it explains why she so quickly shut down President Trump's National Press...

Anticipation over selection over who President Trump will select as his running-mate reached fever pitch over the weekend as the 45th President proclaimed just before a rally in Philadelphia he had already made the pick in his mind. Now, reports have emerged that the list of contenders for the coveted number two spot has narrowed. NewsNation has learned Trump has finalized his list to three candidates: North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio. CNN and NBC have also revealed the same three names are finalists on Trump’s list. Trump’s original list also included...

During a two-hour hearing Monday morning, the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case pressed government attorneys to provide more information about the funding of special counsel Jack Smith's investigation, at one point remarking that the funding presents a "separation of powers concern." The hearing, conducted by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, was a continuation of Friday's hearing in which defense attorneys sought to have the documents case dismissed on the grounds that Smith was unlawfully appointed as special counsel. Trump pleaded not guilty last year to 40 criminal counts related to his handling of classified materials after...

A dam in south central Minnesota failed Monday morning - leading to fears of flooding for at least 45,000 residents in the valley below. Citizens in low-lying areas of the Minnesota River Valley have now been told to evacuate - as officials continue to monitor whether the Rapidan Dam will fully give in. The 114-year-old dam on the Blue Earth River is about 90 miles southwest of Minneapolis. Aerial footage shows a house just a few feet away from the tributary being completely engulfed by the floodwaters. It was later revealed an Xcel Energy substation located at the dam was...

One angry McDonald's customer was most definitely not loving the packaging of her McChicken sandwich, heading to social media — and back to the fast food chain’s counter — with a theory about the wrapper’s possible hidden meaning. “I thought they gave me the wrong sandwich but conveniently, McDonald’s changed their packaging,” the customer, @mahawi2850, explained in their now-viral (and removed) TikTok, pulling out the blue and white wrapper. “Wow. What does that resemble?” Peeved over the packaging’s apparent resemblance to the Israeli flag, @mahawi2850 took their concerns back to the fast food chain, asking an employee about the offending...

"Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost." "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto...

Jordon Hudson’s 64-year-old ex has come to the defense of her budding romance with former Patriots coach Bill Belichick. Joshua L. Zuckerman, who told TMZ Sports the two met several years ago, is pushing back at critics’ claims she is only with the 72-year-old, six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach for his money. Zuckerman and Hudson, a 23-year-old cheerleader, had an on-and-off again relationship and became an item after finding common interests in talking business, philosophy, psychology and nature, he told the outlet. Her relationship with the businessman ceased not too long before Hudson started seeing Belichick. “She is wise beyond...

Mark Schlereth said Bill Belichick looks like an “absolute clown” dating 23-year-old Jordon Hudson. Schlereth, a former NFL offensive lineman-turned-Fox Sports analyst, didn’t sugarcoat his reaction to the 72-year-old Belichick’s newfound romance with the former cheerleader. “I think he’s a pig,” Schlereth said during a recent installment of his and Mike Evans’ 104.3 The Fan sports radio show in Denver, per Awful Announcing. “That’s disgusting…That’s just awful. What are you doing? “Plus, you just look like an absolute clown.”

Gov. DeSantis signs Florida ban on balloon releases

Have been checking this question out online and not getting very far. Older FR posts from 20 years ago pull up on the search, ostensibly discussing ping lists and offering them, but this gets confusing the deeper I drill down, no guidance as to how to actually identify, access, or even create one. Some of the postings go back to the early 2000's. Looks like they are trying to be helpful but I can't make heads nor tails of the links they offer. Am stumped. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong and how to do it the right...

President Donald Trump suggested President Joe Biden should be drug tested before their debate and agreed to take one himself. Trump and Republicans have long accused Biden of using performance-enhancing drugs to appear more agile, allegations the White House has repeatedly denied. The former president usually limited these suggestions to jokes, but he upped the ante Monday when he suggested that he and Biden should undergo drug tests before their debate Thursday. “DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. The Biden campaign dismissed Trump’s accusation, referring...
