Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced Saturday afternoon that he’s entering New York City’s mayoral race, adding a big name to the already busy Democratic primary challenging Mayor Eric Adams (D). “Our city is in crisis. That’s why I am running to be Mayor of New York City,” he wrote on social platform X, along with a video. “We need government to work. We need effective leadership.” He also included a link to his campaign website. Cuomo’s entrance comes as little surprise after months of speculation that he would attempt a political comeback years after resigning as governor...

Jamie Lee Curtis said it best upon being nominated for her 2023 Oscar for Everything Everywhere All At Once: “I’m 64 years old. I’ve been an actor since I was 19. I made horror films and sold yogurt that makes you shit. I never thought I would hear my name at the Oscars.” This year, after winning the award and enjoying a career renaissance, Curtis is back in the headlines for her work on The Last Showgirl. That film stars Pamela Anderson… One of the prevailing narratives of this year’s awards season leading up to the Oscars has been that...

Monday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Hannity,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich likened President-elect Donald Trump to Beowulf, given all of the efforts, including impeachment and assassination, to thwart his rise over the past nine years. “Isn’t it really rooted in this that there is a fear—a healthy fear, a healthy respect for Donald Trump, that he’s strong and tough, and that without even taking the oath of office, he almost single-handedly—his election has reestablished America as the world’s leader?” host Sean Hannity asked. “Look, if you’re a relatively sophisticated leader around the world, and you watch nine years of...

While leftist media networks prepare to embark on one of the most epic meltdowns in history, Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper over at CNN admitted Donald Trump‘s election victory was the “greatest comeback in history.” Trump declared victory in the early hours of Wednesday morning after the media called the 2024 presidential race for him. Tapper responded to Trump’s historic election win, saying, “It is hard to think of a political comeback that is actually more significant than this one. I’m tempted to say Richard Nixon, but that really falls short of what Donald Trump has achieved.”

New polling of eight battlegrounds shows Donald Trump on the verge of completing a political comeback the cynics said was impossible after the 2020 election. But he’s not quite there, per the Redfield & Wilton survey of 8,533 likely voters in the octet of battlegrounds, though the state-level data are encouraging. Trump leads by 3 points in Arizona, 49% to 46%. He’s up by 4 in Florida, 49% to 45%. In Georgia, the ex-prez leads 48% to 47%. Nevada shows another 1-point lead: 47% to 46%. And it’s 48% to 45% for Trump in North Carolina. This gets him to...

Former Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX), who won a special election last year and then lost in the general election in November, is launching a comeback bid for her old congressional seat. Flores shocked the political world when last year she won a special election in Texas’s 34th congressional district–traditionally it has been a Democrat stronghold–winning outright and avoiding a runoff in June last year.

Roseanne Barr unleashes on those who took the vaccine and tells the truth in some brilliant stand up comedy.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared well placed to return to power after exit polls following Tuesday’s election showed his right-wing bloc heading for a narrow majority lifted by a strong showing from his far-right allies. Israel’s longest-serving premier, on trial over corruption charges which he denies, was poised to take 61-62 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, according to Israeli television exit polls. The campaign, which opened weeks after a brief conflict with the militant Islamic Jihad group in Gaza in August, has also unrolled against a backdrop of increasing violence in the occupied West Bank, with near-daily raids...

At first, the idea of a Boris Johnson Restoration looked remote after his “hasta la vista” two months ago from 10 Downing Street. After the leadership collapse this week, rumors began circulating that Johnson wanted to change that Schwarzeneggerian valediction for a Terminator reminder — “I’ll be back,” the New York Times reported this morning, although skeptically:For all of his charisma, it is also not clear that Mr. Johnson retains the same power to turn out voters that he did three years ago. The scandals that brought him down eroded his popularity with many Britons, and it was under his...

Is it a comeback, or just a fantasy? Is it in the “national interest,” or in personal ambition only momentarily thwarted?Whatever it is, it’s apparently on like Donkey Kong now that Liz Truss has resigned as UK PM, according to the Times of London’s Ragip Soylu. Once-and-future-PM Boris Johnson is already taking “soundings” and lining up support now that Truss’ government has collapsed:BREAKING: Boris Johnson is expected to stand in the contest to replace Liz Truss as PM and believes it is a matter of “national interest” — The Times— Ragıp Soylu (@ragipsoylu) October 20, 2022Boris Johnson is expected to...

FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he was not “buying” former Gov. Sarah Palin’s political comeback bid for her state’s sole seat on the U.S. House of Representatives. Anchor Jon Karl said, “Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is attempting a political comeback nearly 14 years after Sen. John McCain made her the Republican Party’s first female candidate for vice president. She’s running for Alaska’s lone House seat following the death of longtime Congressman Don Young. Donald Trump has already endorsed her but does she have a shot at winning? Here’s FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver.

Andrew Cuomo has New York Democrats biting their nails as he considers a disruptive entry into the state’s gubernatorial race, threatening to turn it into one of the nation’s most acrimonious midterm contests.

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday promised that he would be staging a “comeback,” his clearest indication yet that he plans to run for the White House in 2024. He said it would be a “comeback the likes of which nobody has ever seen.” He made the pledge at his first rally speech of the 2022 election season. He also blasted “tyrannical” vaccine mandates, runaway inflation and a national crime wave in a brick-by-brick takedown of President Biden’s first years in office. In the nearly two-hour speech in Florence, Arizona, he piled on top of the mounting defeats for Mr....

Jussie Smollett is already desperately trying to revive his showbiz career even as he waits for a verdict on charges that he staged his race-hate attack for publicity. In the nearly two years since his scandal broke, the 39-year-old actor was dumped from TV hit “Empire,” dropped by his talent agency and has failed to get any other acting gigs, The Hollywood Reporter noted. But he still managed to finance his directorial debut, “B-Boy Blues,” which was shot over 12 days last year in the Big Apple — but has yet to be bought, the industry outlet noted. Key backer...

August was a cruel month for President Biden. The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was messy, while here at home the Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report was far below expectations. Cases of COVID-19 hit the 40 million mark, and more than 650,000 people have died of the virus. A Washington Post/ABC News poll found Biden’s disapproval rating rising to 51 percent, up from 42 percent in April. Afghanistan has certainly contributed to Biden’s downward slide, with 60 percent of Americans disliking how he handled the withdrawal. Biden also experienced serious erosion on two other key concerns. Since April, approval of...

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reportedly launching a comeback tour — and insists Donald Trump will have no impact on his decision as he continues to weigh a 2024 presidential bid. The 59-year-old is giving a speech at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California Thursday night as part of a series on the future of the Republican Party, Politico reports. The library has already hosted speeches from a number of potential GOP presidential candidates this year, including former Vice President Mike Pence. Other would-be candidates – such as former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Tim Scott...

Wow! Democrats are Truly Terrified of a Trump Comeback Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. Its to the point that new laws are being constructed to specifically target Donald Trump. Doubt me? Follow this stream of consciousness because maybe I’m the crazy one. Rumors have been circulating that Trump would be interested in being Speaker of the House, something he did not dispel when he talked to conservative radio host Wayne Allen Root. Radio host Wayne Allen Root suggested Trump campaigning for a spot in the House of Representatives before taking on the challenge of winning back the White House in...

By | fburns@mlive.com Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and departing President Donald Trump share some traits in common. Both left divided communities in their political wake, enlisting devout supporters who engaged in emotional faceoffs with disgusted opposition along the way. Kilpatrick, now 50 and one of Michigan’s most notorious taxpayer-funded convicted conmen, is set to be released from prison after serving seven years of his 28-year federal prison sentence. He was originally slated to live behind prison walls until age 67 with an earliest release date of Jan. 18, 2037. That changed when the Trump administration announced Kilpatrick’s sentence will...

Following a chaotic week in national politics with the deadly Capitol riots and the brutal Georgia runoffs, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel was unanimously reelected Friday for another two years at the top of the Republican Party. Her reelection comes days after Democrats swept both of Georgia’s U.S. Senate seats in the twin runoff elections this past Tuesday that was a stinging defeat for the GOP. Democrats now hold a razor-thin majority in the upper congressional chamber and have gained the last piece of the trifecta after winning the White House in November and the House back in...
