    Gallup ^ | JULY 25, 2024 | JEFFREY M. JONES
    The U.S. viewing audience for the 2024 Paris Games is poised to be the smallest for any prior Summer Olympics Gallup has measured. Thirty-five percent of U.S. adults plan to watch a great deal (10%) or fair amount (25%) of the games, which is down from 48% measured for the 2016 Olympics and figures just shy of 60% from 2000 to 2012. Gallup has measured viewing intentions for each Summer Olympics since 2000, except for the 2020 Olympic Games that were delayed until 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the 35% who plan to watch at least...

    Kamala Harris was all smiles when she arrived at Joe Biden's former Delaware campaign headquarters on Monday. She was there to lift the spirits of blindsided staffers, who after 15 months of toiling to re-elect the president, suddenly found themselves working for her. 'It is my great honor to have Joe's endorsement in this race,' she boasted to cheers from a crowd who were now on her payroll. But as the assembled readily applauded, some must have harbored private concerns. For, behind the recent public self-branding of Harris as a kindly, jovial 'Momala', she has earned a nasty reputation as...

    The 2024 Olympics opening ceremony in Paris has sparked international outrage with drag-queen themed imagery of religious and historical figures. In between listing all the countries participating in the Olympic Games, there have been several performances riffing on France's history and culture, such as a headless Marie Antoinette, the last queen prior to being executed amid French Revolution, singing with her severed head in her hands sporting drag-style makeup. This was part of numerous drag queens that appeared to be a recurring theme throughout the ceremonies. Three drag queens were among the 10,000 torchbearers who relayed the Olympic flame as...

    Lady Gaga put on quite the show at the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony in Paris, but you know what it was missing? Pyrotechnics, headless women in a castle, and a boat carrying an opera singer. Enter: Gojira. The group became the first metal band to ever perform during the opening ceremonies. They were chosen because a) they’re French, and b) they put on a sick show. The band — made up of vocalist Joe Duplantier, drummer Mario Duplantier, lead guitarist Christian Andreu, and bassist Jean-Michel Labadie — played a cover of “Ah! Ca Ira,” a song that was popular during...

Jasmine Clifford, 34, flipped the bird after she was sentenced to one to three years in state prison Thursday for forging as many as 250 fake vaccination cards that she sold on Instagram for $200 each. The mother of two arrived in Manhattan court very late on Thursday wearing tight grey shorts, a black t-shirt, black sneakers and a pair of expensive Loewe sunglasses. She kept the shades on throughout proceedings out the proceedings and even while she...

    CINCINNATI — Multiple teens and an 18-year-old man have been sentenced for their part in a Jan. 23 assault on a man downtown.

    A mega earthquake could rock America's heartland - home to at least 11 million Americans - in the next 50 years. Scientists say a little-known 150-mile-long stretch through Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois, has the conditions to generate a 6.0-plus magnitude quake. The National Guard this week in St Louis conducted earthquake preparation drills that simulated a focused response to an 8.4 magnitude earthquake

    Former first lady Melania Trump’s upcoming memoir will hit bookstores on Sept. 24, her publisher tells CNBC, just weeks before the presidential election on Nov. 5. Her husband, former President Donald Trump, will face the de facto Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris. Titled “Melania,” the book is billed in a press release Thursday as “a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence.” “The former First Lady invites readers into her world, offering an intimate portrait of a woman who has lived an extraordinary life,” the release goes...

    Bystanders armed themselves with anything they could to fend off two pit bull mixes as they brought a boy to the verge of death. A recent court filing disclosed the harrowing detail, as 3-year-old Minnesotan Covil Allen's fate is all but sealed. The court document also revealed the dogs were not full pit bulls, but a mix between a pit and an American bulldog. Known as American bullies, the dog's breed boasts especially powerful jaws that inflict more damage than those of any other breed. This likely proved fatal for Covil, who remains in critical condition. His family has made...

    A military family who lost custody of their autistic son after they refused to transition his gender are suing a major DC hospital. The family said their boy had never shown any desire to become a girl until, at 16, he was hospitalized for self-harming after a bitter breakup with his girlfriend in 2021. Staff at Children's National Hospital informed the family that he wanted to be female and should be referred to using she/her pronouns going forward, the suit claims. His army veteran parents, from Prince George County in Maryland, rejected the suggestion, saying their son was 'impressionable' due...

    The Babylon Bee ^ | July 26, 2024
    The Vice President's campaign for president received a highly sought-after boost this week, as former President Barack Obama reluctantly endorsed Kamala Harris after butt-dialing her. The unintentional endorsement occurred yesterday while Obama was reportedly sitting down to enjoy some chips and salsa and inadvertently called the vice president. A source close to Obama confirmed that the former president improvised the endorsement as a way to cover the embarrassing butt dial. "Ah, shoot, I accidentally called Kamala," Obama was heard whispering as he pulled his phone out of the pocket of his slacks. "What do I say now? How am I...

    Alyssa Milano is crying again — this time, the left-wing activist/actress is crying tears of joy over a largely unaccomplished woman of color who has a habit of falling ass-backward into success. That person would be Vice President Kamala Harris, of course, who was tapped to serve in her current role precisely because of her gender and the color of her skin. And now that President Joe Biden, the man who put her there, has fallen victim to a rumored Obama-Pelosi hatchet job and is standing down in the election, Harris finds herself in the right place at the right...

    The Olympics opening ceremony has been panned by viewers describing it as 'the worst' as rain hampers the audio and urge organisers to 'Stop the boats'. 6,800 athletes covered in plastic ponchos attempted to keep spirits high as they travelled down the river Seine in a huge flotilla of 85 boats. Performances from Lady Gaga and approximately 3,000 dancers, acrobats and actors are hard to hear over the sound of rain, with viewers calling it 'the worst Olympic opening ceremony in memory'. (snip) For the first time in history, the opening ceremony is being held outside of a closed stadium,...
