Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley is telling the haters he has no time for them after a wave of criticism that flowed onto social media because he went golfing with President Donald Trump. Barkley was seen over the weekend at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., where he hit the links with Trump. The Eagles star was thrilled to tell his fans about his experience, and he even got a ride on the Marine One helicopter in New Jersey. Unsurprisingly, the inevitable haters came out in droves to blast the NFL player for daring to golf with the President...

"I had to take a step back and realize that biological realities are real and competitive advantages will always exist despite the number of years or whatever surgeries and hormones you've done, and then understood that my place is not in women's sports." Nicole Powers, a trans-identified male, used to compete in the women’s division of golf but has backed out over the unfairness of competing against biological women. In an interview with OutKick, Powers said, "I had to take a step back and realize that biological realities are real and competitive advantages will always exist despite the number of...

Former President Donald Trump said that he plans to stay off the campaign rally circuit until after the Democratic National Convention, which ends on Aug. 22. The pace and the plan for the Republican nominee’s August this year is a stark departure from what Trump’s schedule looked like in August of 2016, the last time he campaigned in person for president. Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, — as well Trump’s running mate JD Vance, — have all spent the week barnstorming presidential battleground states.

It’s rare for a mixed-martial arts star to engage in a sporting event with a septuagenarian and come away impressed — unless, of course, that septuagenarian is former President Donald Trump and the sport is golf. At the Republican front-runner’s own golf course. With two Super Bowl champions. During an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan published last week, Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight Bo Nickal described a golf outing with the former president and New York Giants greats Lawrence Taylor and Ottis “O.J.” Anderson. Nickal said that Trump was sitting cage-side with UFC founder and president Dana White, “and he invited...

GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie suggested Tuesday that former President Trump should have “skipped a couple of rounds of golf” to go through boxes containing classified materials after Trump said he did not have time to do so in response to a subpoena. “He said the reason he didn’t give the documents back was because he just so very busy, and he didn’t have time to respond to a grand jury subpoena because he needed to get his golf shirts and pants out of the box,” Christie said on “CBS Mornings.” “I mean, does anybody in America believe this?”

The part of Hawthorne Boulevard where Tiger Woods lost control of his SUV Tuesday and was seriously injured in a rollover crash is a steep, winding road described by locals and officials as a “hotspot” for car crashes. At the intersection where Woods crashed, Hawthorne Boulevard forms the border of Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills Estates — part of the Palos Verdes Peninsula known for tony gated neighborhoods, cliffside vistas and winding seaside roads. One man who lives in the area told KTLA Tuesday that the stretch of road is dangerous if you’re not careful. “The one thing that...

Donald Trump needs to spend less time playing golf and more time listening to experts like Dr. Fauci. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 13, 2020

FLASHBACK VIDEO: Obama Went Golfing as H1N1 Swept Across USA – 60 Million Cases and 12,000 Dead! by Jim Hoft March 23, 2020 Fore! Back in 2009 when the Swine Flu – H1N1 influenza was sweeping across the country Obama went golfing. Funny how the media never brings this up. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that that during the outbreak there were 60.8 million cases in the US, 274,000 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths. There’s video of one reporter asking the White House press secretary about the optics of Obama golfing while Americans were dying.

For the clusters of onlookers, besuited power players and three former presidents who had all traveled to Washington National Cathedral, the muggy day was a historic opportunity to memorialize the life of Senator John McCain, who was remembered as a deeply patriotic war hero, a former Republican presidential candidate and a scrappy, humanly flawed, ultimately idealistic lawmaker. For President Trump, it was Saturday. In the many discussions about how to mark his life that Mr. McCain had with his staff and family before he died, he had made clear he did not want Mr. Trump to participate in anything they...

The Fake News Media worked hard to get Tiger Woods to say something that he didn’t want to say. Tiger wouldn’t play the game - he is very smart. More importantly, he is playing great golf again! 9:37 AM - 27 Aug 2018

The UK Daily Mail expressed shock and horror Sunday at the fact that President Donald Trump waited only 17 hours after the death of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to play a round of golf, as he typically does Sunday (and as President Barack Obama did before him).The Daily Mail reported, with original ALL CAPS: “Donald Trump returns to the golf course just 17 HOURS after the death of John McCain as he faces criticism for failing to properly honor GOP giant’s life and legacy.” According to the article, written by Megan Sheets, Trump was guilty of having merely posted a “meager tweet with...

What we see clearly is how far down to rock bottom CNN’s ‘investigative journalism’ has fallen All it takes to you-know-what CNN is a big white box truck! Talking heads posing as CNN investigative journalists thought they had the scoop of the century when they “CAUGHT” President Donald Trump playing golf on his own golf course over the Christmastime holidays. But their peek-a-boo spying venture was ruined by a box truck cutting off their view.

It is the first Sunday morning in May 2011... It is Barack Obama's 66th round of golf as president, and as usual, the media and the public aren't invited. Like nearly all of Obama's previous outings, the only witnesses are his playing partners -- a trio of White House staffers -- and a platoon of Secret Service agents... The press corps is forbidden from following the president from hole to hole or even taking his photograph on the course... No president has done more to keep his game a secret. During the 104 rounds Obama has played as president, photographers...

A vacationing President Obama received an update Sunday about a night of rioting and gunfire in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, before he headed out for another round of golf. The White House said Mr. Obama was briefed on the unrest by senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, who spoke to Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. The president later departed for a golf course on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, with former NBA star Alonzo Mourning, Washington lawyer Cy Walker and Mercer Cook, a cousin of Ms. Jarrett. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. called for the National Guard to respond to the area where rioters burned

President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton played golf together on Saturday ahead of an evening birthday celebration for a mutual friend - the Washington power broker Vernon Jordan. Jordan, who is turning 80, and former US Trade Representative Ron Kirk rounded out the golf foursome at Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard. Obama has spent much of the past week on the golf course as he vacations with his family on the Massachusetts island.

For a second day, the "pool" of reporters in Florida to cover President Obama's golfing weekend refused to be dismissed by the White House, stationing in a maintenance shed near the super exclusive course the president is golfing at for his 223rd round of golf since taking office. The first "pool report" of the day said that the president's team said he wouldn't be making news or appearing in public, thus declaring a news "lid" and allowing the media to stay at their hotel 15 miles away. But as they did Saturday the reporters opted to stay close to Obama...

William Wingate had been standing on a busy Seattle street corner in July, leaning on a golf club he uses as a cane, when a police cruiser pulled up and the officer inside yelled at Wingate to “put that down.” The resulting exchange — in which the officer claims that Wingate swung the club at her after she asked him to “shut it down” before she arrested him – was captured on the cruiser’s dashboard camera, the footage of which Seattle Police released this week as it apologized for the 2014 incident. The response to that video prompted Seattle Police...

Barack and Michelle Obama, speaking to People Magazine, of all disappointments, shared the disheartening news that they have experienced what they called racism. Barack, for example, apparently has had trouble, before he was president, hailing a cab in Chicago, to which an immediate thought might occur to anyone who has been to Chicago: Who hasn't? Also, Barack, at a black-tie event, when he, too, was in festive livery, apparently was asked by another guest if he would get them a cup of coffee. For her recollection, Michelle came up with a visit to a Target store as first lady. She...

He appeared at the end of a video showing the beheading of US journalist Steven Sotloff earlier this month.Obama went golfing.

....Obama was turned down at several top golf courses in Westchester while he was visiting the area over Labor Day weekend, sources tell NBC 4 New York. The Trump National Golf Club, the Winged Foot and Willow Ridge were among some of the elite courses that rebuffed the president's request to tee off there, according to several sources who were told about the president's advance team's calls to the club managers.
