Melania Trump is a world-class snubber. She skipped almost every event of Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, only returning to regular political spouse duties late last year, as she had a memoir to plug and a lucrative documentary project to film. Despite suggesting she would be a full-time First Lady in Trump’s second term, she has gone unseen for weeks at a time and even skipped her stepdaughter Tiffany’s baby shower (a People source explained, savagely, that Melania “has her own schedule, even on weekends” and didn’t see “any reason” to attend). Now Melania is getting a small taste of her...

Former NBA guard Craig Hodges, regarded as one of the league’s premier three-point shooters before Steph Curry, painfully understands his career is defined more by a letter he wrote than his ability to knock down shots. As a star reserve with the Chicago Bulls, Hodges joined his teammates in 1991 for a visit to the White House to celebrate the Bulls’ first NBA Championship with President George H.W. Bush. Hodges, an outspoken advocate for social justice and civil rights during his 10-year NBA career, viewed the trip as an opportunity. Near the end of the celebration, Hodges, dressed in a...

Bobby Charles, a lawyer who served under several former Republican presidents, announced Tuesday he will run in the 2026 race to become Maine’s next governor. Although his name is not broadly known in his home state, Charles has increasingly popped up as a rumored gubernatorial candidate in Republican circles while making radio and Fox News appearances. The Maine Republican Party also briefly floated him last year as someone to run against Democratic Attorney General Aaron Frey before lawmakers decided on another candidate. His entrance into the race to succeed Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat termed out of office next year,...

Ex-“Squad” Reps. Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman claimed that Democrats had originally wanted to pass $10 trillion in spending as part of former President Joe Biden’s doomed Build Back Better (BBB) Act. “We were at 10 [trillion] and then it went down to 6 and down to 3 and down to 1.7, I believe,” Bush said on the “Bowman and Bush” podcast on March 14. The two were reflecting on the collapse of Biden’s ambitious Build Back Better Act, which called for hundreds of billions of dollars of investments in “social infrastructure” programs such as universal child care, an expansion...

Washington -- As President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk work to overhaul the federal government, they are forcing out thousands of workers with insider knowledge and connections who now need a job. For Russia, China and other adversaries, the upheaval in Washington as Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency guts government agencies presents an unprecedented opportunity to recruit informants, national security andintelligence experts say. Every former federal worker with knowledge of or access to sensitive information or systems could be a target. When thousands of them leave their jobs at the same time, that creates a lot of targets, as...

The misnamed Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) poses as a nonpartisan government watchdog, but it’s really functioned as a left wing-funded attack dog against Republicans over the past decade. This year, CREW has dialed it up going after the Trump Administration. Earlier this year, CREW sued the President under the foreign emoluments clause of the Constitution, which prohibits the President from receiving gifts from foreign states. CREW argued that Trump’s business ties violated this because foreign entities have leased space in Trump Tower in New York. But federal judge George Daniels—a Bill Clinton appointee—wasn’t buying what CREW...

On Wednesday, January 29 an Army Helicopter collided with an American Airlines plane trying land at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Within a few hours of the crash, Rep. Norma Torres (D-Calif) was able to determine that "President Trump bears the full weight of responsibility for this tragedy. The fact that this crash came so quickly following the Senate's confirmation of the appointment of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense is a telling sign that Trump's cabinet nominees are dreadfully unqualified for the jobs to which they are being appointed." "I am sorry to say that this tragedy is...

A Bethesda teenager pleaded guilty to a felony explosives charge Wednesday, admitting that he had chemicals, switches and igniters in his bedroom that readily could be made into a bomb. "We cannot know for certain what Collin McKenzie-Gude would have done if law enforcement had not acted," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. "What we know for certain is that he made and exploded pipe bombs and had the components to build new explosive devices." The plea was the latest step in a case that captured national attention last year after Montgomery County officials said a map of Camp David,...

Hillary and her campaign continue to try to hold Obama and his campaign to a higher set of standards than they're willing to adhere to. Apparently Hillary and her people can mock and deride Obama all they want to. And what about Hillary's Machiavelian [sic] response to "60-Minutes" Steve Croft's question to her about whether or not she believed Obama was a Muslim? She knows very well he is a Christian. So she could have clearly and finally put an end to the untrue rumor with an unequivocol "No, there's no truth to that rumor". But she purposely chose...
