Actor and comic Michael Rapaport has done a complete 180 on former president Donald Trump after “talking trash” about him for years. Earlier this year, Rapaport began hinting he was considering voting for Trump. During an appearance on the Sage Steele podcast, Rapaport admitted that he was wrong about Trump, most notably with economic issues and Israel. “I was wrong. ‘Cause. I talked shit about Jared [Kushner] … I was first in line talking shit about Trump. All day, every day,” Rapaport said, adding that he still didn’t like Trump’s “month” or some of his behavior. However, he admitted Trump...

“We will fight for reproductive freedom,” Harris told a crowd of staff, “knowing if Trump gets the chance he will sign a national abortion ban to outlaw abortion in every single state.” Harris’s campaign has abortion rights activists — already desperate to see the Democrats win – electrified and rushing to endorse her. It also puts Republicans into a bind. Fighting against reproductive rights has long been a winner for the GOP. But now, that fight has become the party’s kryptonite... For the first time in a generation, abortion rhetoric was largely absent from the Republican National Convention earlier this...

A top aide to embattled Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard has been fired from one of his jobs. The aide, Keith Freeman, was fired in July for repeatedly not showing up to work. Henyard serves as Dolton’s mayor, but she is also the town supervisor of the neighboring township of Thornton, where Freeman was fired. “Due to the high-ranking position that you hold within the township, this type of misconduct cannot be tolerated,” the Human Resources Department of Thorton wrote in its email notifying Freeman he had been fired. “Your misconduct is a detriment to the smooth functioning of the...

Grab a seat — this is going to be both interesting and horrific. The interesting part is pretty obvious. The horrific part, however, is about how the political party that once brought us Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland, and Harry Truman is now strapped with such a dearth of talent that the best it can offer is a giggling nincompoop for the highest office in the land. Ever since she first achieved statewide office in California, it has been painfully obvious that Ms. Harris was a pathetic lightweight, propped up by a near-monopoly party establishment and its enabling operatives in the...

Oklahoma police arrested and charged a father and his girlfriend after he allegedly tied up his teenage daughter to a tree by a chicken coop for three days, Law & Crime reported. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) arrested Johnny James, the 40-year-old father, and Kayla Clark, his 42-year-old girlfriend, Sunday over this incident, according to the office’s booking records. Authorities were alerted when someone filed a child abuse complaint with the police, Law & Crime reported, citing a probable cause arrest affidavit. A woman reportedly told WCSO deputies that a 15-year-old girl was bound to a tree in a...

So how did the protests - starting in Southport and spreading to London, Hartlepool, Manchester and Aldershot - begin? Merseyside Police have publicly identified the English Defence League (EDL) as a key factor. While there are people who describe themselves as EDL supporters, the organisation ceased to exist in any formal sense after its founder, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - who uses the alias Tommy Robinson - focused on spreading his message on social media platforms, where he has a sizeable following. But its core ideas - in particular an opposition to illegal immigration, mixed with indiscriminate and racist claims about Muslims...

A leading Australian swimming coach has led criticism of Pan Zhanle’s stunning 100m freestyle world record after saying the Chinese swimmer’s performance in the pool was “not humanly possible”. Brett Hawke led the international disbelief among some quarters after the 19-year-old stormed to gold in 46.40 seconds to beat nearest rival Kyle Chalmers by more than a second. Pan destroyed a high-class field to shave almost half a second off his own world record in the biggest winning margin in the men’s 100m freestyle since American Johnny Weissmuller in 1928, but his performance has been overshadowed by ongoing suspicions surrounding...

It’s summertime, which calls to mind the perennial question for parents: where can we take the kids on vacation and learn something along the way? That question sustains our nation’s massive heritage tourism industry. Odds are you already have a list full of destinations with fascinating museums and popular historic sites. But it’s not just about kids and vacations. In the buildup to the nation’s 2026 semiquincentennial birthday celebration, planners everywhere are hoping to leverage history tourism to boost their local economies. Boston’s Freedom Trail—arguably the nation’s most popular American heritage tourism site— appears to offer a prime example for...

Tesla has asked owners to stop wrapping wet towels around handles to speed up the recharging process, warning that this can damage its Supercharger stalls. Responding to a story posted by Inside EVs on X in May that claimed the trick worked, Tesla said placing a wet cloth over Supercharger recharging kit while juicing up "does not increase charging rates," and risks damaging cables because it fools temperature sensors into thinking the charger is cooler than it really is. ... Kyle Conner, founder of EV media network Out of Spec Studios, said in a recent podcast episode that, contrary to...

When former President Donald J. Trump questioned Vice President Kamala Harris’s racial identity on Wednesday, he lifted a longstanding and false line of attack from the fringes of political discourse to the very center of a presidential campaign. For years, rivals and critics have lodged accusations that Ms. Harris shifts her personal identity to her political advantage, and that she is, in fact, not who she claims to be. Those attacks, based on falsehoods, misinformation and conspiratorial notions, have increased dramatically in the week and a half since she emerged as the Democrats’ all-but-certain standard-bearer. Just hours after President Biden...

According to a report, the Biden administration—and who knows who’s in charge anymore since the president abandoned his reelection bid and has largely disappeared from public view—expects the Islamic Republic of Iran to attack Israel any day now in retaliation for the Jewish state’s elimination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran earlier this week (amid their other assassinations of terrorist leaders).

It’s one great big psy-op, don’t fall for it. Recently, podcaster Joe Rogan attempted to predict the results of the 2024 elections. “She’s [Kamala Harris] gonna win,” Rogan told guest Michael Malice on his podcast. He continued, I feel like we are in this very bizarre time where people are giving into the bulls[***] in a way that I never suspected people would before… They just want no Trump, no matter what, and they’re willing to gaslight themselves—and by the way, I think Hillary could win. Everybody forever was like, Kamala Harris is the worst vice president… She’s the least...

Fifty years ago this weekend (July 19 - 21) in Sedalia, every amplifier dial went all the way up. The volume was literal, with once and future guitar heroes such as Joe Perry, Glenn Frey and Jeff Beck plugging in to split the Midwest sky with sound. The event these rock stars played also "amped up the drama" in the modest-sized Missouri city, as one documentary filmmaker put it, with hints of the squalling feedback still discernible today. The Ozark Music Festival, mounted July 19-21, 1974, featured sets from the Eagles, Aerosmith, Blue Öyster Cult, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger and...

Indian-Americans are sounding off on Vice President Kamala Harris’ alleged attempts to downplay her Indian heritage in favor of her Jamaican side of the family. Less than a week ago, as Harris entered the presidential race, the New York Times wrote that the vice president’s Indian heritage is “little advertised.” Harris, with an Indian mother and black Jamaican father, has long been touted as a historic figure breaking glass ceilings. But some Indian-Americans told the Caller they feel Harris’ Indian identity is highlighted only when it’s “convenient” for her. ... “She’s made very clear that she does not look highly...

(KRON) — Intel has announced plans to lay off 15 percent of its global workforce. On Thursday, the semiconductor chip manufacturing giant posted its second-quarter financial results for 2024, including a $10 billion cost reduction plan. (SNIP) Intel’s second-quarter revenue is down 1 percent year-over-year, and the company said it will be suspending dividends in the fourth quarter of 2024. “Our Q2 financial performance was disappointing, even as we hit key product and process technology milestones,” said Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger in a news release. “Second-half trends are more challenging than we previously expected, and we are leveraging our new...
