So, forget him — which most of us already have. ..... Plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice. Making the music is Barack the orchestra leader.Michelle says she’s “terrified” Trump will win. No casual burp. Was programmed.

As Joe Biden’s poll numbers continue to plummet, and the world falls apart around him; a figure arguably more powerful than he has emerged from the shadows to sound the alarm. Michelle Obama recently went on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast for an interview, which was released Monday, where she made some comments that will likely create speculation about whether she will launch a belated challenge for the most powerful office in the world.

In an exclusive clip obtained by ITK, Shetty asked Obama what being part of the first family at the White House revealed to her about herself. “That I’m pretty strategic and smart and resilient,” Obama, 59, replied. “The White House tests you in ways that you never anticipated,” the mom of two said.

Upon hearing the notion that Michelle Obama may be the presidential candidate for Democrats in 2024, many Republicans reflexively recite the mantra that she is enjoying her life and is not political. Let me make one thing clear: Michelle Obama is a political animal. Republicans must quickly begin to prepare for her candidacy. Michelle grew up as the daughter of a Chicago Democrat party precinct captain. She has written about making the rounds with her father from age 4, visiting homes in her area to get out the black vote for the white liberal Chicago Democrat party machine. Michelle has...

Michelle Obama can predict the future. Well, she can shape it anyway. Back in 2012, she stood before the assembled throng at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, and said words that are still shaping elections a decade later. “Let’s be clear,” Michelle said, “elections aren’t just about who votes but who doesn’t vote.” Today, we finally understand what she meant. Here’s what happened: just a few weeks after Biden moved out of his basement and into the Oval Office, he was handed a piece of paper to sign – a paper that set in motion an extremely...

MARTHA'S VINEYARD — After posting a job listing to fill their vacant personal chef position, former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, were disappointed to learn it had received zero applications. "Why wouldn't anyone want this job?" an exasperated Michelle was heard asking her servant's personal assistant's driver at the Obamas' lavish estate. "Working for us is one of the greatest privileges anyone could experience. As long as you don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong, you'll be well-compensated and you'll get to stay alive! Where's the downside?" In the absence of someone to prepare meals, Barack has...

Everyone in life faces disadvantages of one form or another. Almost all children get called an unpleasant name or two in grade school. Some are oppressed by a drunk, abusive, or absent parent. Others may be trapped in horrific schools or extreme poverty. Still others are simply not gifted with high IQs or the ambition to work hard and succeed. The list of reasons why most people don’t go to Ivy League schools and then on to lucrative careers is long, and “oppression” comes in many forms. If you are the first black White House family, oppression takes the shape...

In a historic ruling, The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the Harvard and UNC race-based affirmative action programs are unconstitutional. Schools nationwide will no longer be able to discriminate against students on the basis of race. How outlandish were Harvard’s affirmative action policies? An African American student placed within the 40th percentile of their academic index is more likely to gain admission than an Asian student who ranks in the topmost, 100th percentile. Similarly, Black students who fall within the 50th percentile have greater chances of acceptance than White students who are at the pinnacle of their academic performance....

Obama, who is credited as the co-founder and strategic partner with Plezi, is pushing these drinks as a healthier alternative to the various sodas, juices and sugary drinks that are all but unavoidable at the grocery store. Plezi’s first products to...

According to this Bloomberg article, Michelle Obama is “a co-founder and strategic partner at Plezi Nutrition, a maker of sweetened beverages for kids ages 6 and up,” which I take to mean that she is profiting directly from the sale of these beverages. Her rationale:Obama says she’s offering a lower-sugar alternative to steer them away from sugary drinks. So, are they healthy for kids?Plezi’s first product is a flavored juice drink blend that, under the very standards Obama championed, could not be served in US schools. Bloomberg News interviewed 12 independent health professionals and organizations and spoke with Plezi Chairman...

Michelle Obama says the world tends to “glamorize marriage,” while the reality is that matrimony “is hard.” “We’ve been married for 30 years,” Obama said of former President Obama during a Thursday interview with Gayle King on “CBS Mornings.” “If I fell out with him for 10 [years,] and we had a great 20 years, I’d take those odds anytime,” the former first lady said in response to a question from King about remarks she made last year that for a decade during their relationship, she “couldn’t stand” her husband. “We glamorize marriage,” Obama, 59, said. “In this day and...

Tucker Carlson believes Michelle Obama is running for President. He had Candace Owens on as a guest and she agreed. They speculate that Michelle Obama appeals to the 'Oprah demographic' = suburban women. They dismiss Gavin Newsom as unappealing because of his record in California and Kamala Harris, just not likable. Do you believe Obama is running and do you think she can win?
