Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez touted First Gentleman Doug Emhoff as the ideal representation of masculinity at a Las Vegas campaign event for his wife Kamala Harris on Wednesday. “He’s not afraid to embody and pass on these values of security and this idea that you can, you can let your girl shine,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told a room full of students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, according to the Daily Mail. “And he embodies that really well. We should all be really, really proud of him.” The “squad” member praised Emhoff’s example of masculinity less than a week after a...

After a second negative Daily Mail report about Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff's behavior with women, Emhoff's spokesperson issued a brief statement to Semafor denying one allegation and ignoring another set of allegations. As RedState covered, Emhoff is accused of slapping an ex-girlfriend across the face so hard that she spun around. Emhoff's supposed reason for the assault was his belief that the woman, who the Daily Mail referred to as Jane, was flirting with a valet as the two left a party during the Cannes Film Festival in France in 2012. Of course, the liberal legacy media ignored the story,...

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has denied a shocking report that he slapped his then-girlfriend more than a decade ago after thinking she was flirting with another man. “This report is untrue,” an Emhoff spokesperson told Semafor, adding that “any suggestion that he would or ever hit a woman is false.” The Daily Mail reported Wednesday, citing three friends of the unidentified woman, that Emhoff smacked his then-lover so hard in the face that she was “spun around” after an event at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in France. One of the woman’s friends told the outlet that she called him...

OOF! Kamala's Nanny-Banging Husband Learns the HARD WAY Not to Talk Smack About Trump Protecting Women --- Doug Emhoff is not the kind of guy who should be defining masculinity OR lecturing other men about protecting women. As we all know, Emhoff cheated on his first wife with the NANNY and proceeded to impregnate her. Now, there are conflicting stories out there about his forcing her to have an abortion and her keeping the baby and signing an NDA or something but ultimately what it boils down to is this guy is a skeeze. And Democrats want him to be...

His eyes are trained on a January move to the White House, but right now potential First Gentleman Doug Emhoff is in the doghouse. On Saturday DailyMail.com broke the news that Emhoff's first marriage ended when he got his children's nanny pregnant. Now, we can reveal, life at Number One Observatory Circle – the vice president's official residence – has been frosty to say the least.

The Daily Mail broke the story that Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff knocked up his daughter’s nanny in the course of his first marriage. Relevant facts have yet to be filled in, but the New York Post has already followed up with this story. It is not clear whether the pregnancy ended with abortion, miscarriage, or the birth of a child. The Daily Mail vaguely reports only that nanny Najen Naylor “did not keep the child.” The facts of need to be fleshed out. Emhoff himself has only acknowledged “tough times” in a statement to CNN: “During my first marriage, Kerstin...

...The debate raises the question of how long Hollywood producers and unions will keep the costly and time-consuming measures in place.... “SAG-AFTRA has continued to see a small but vocal minority spread misinformation that certainly makes it harder to do the work of the union,” said one board member, who declined to be identified because they were not authorized to comment. “That has been a challenge for the union overall. The National Board has been consistent. The union has continued to keep people safe and get people back to work.” However, Drescher, by opening the topic to debate, is giving...

BUTLER, Pennsylvania — A longtime nanny to Pennsylvania Republican Sean Parnell’s three children testified on Tuesday that she had never witnessed Parnell abuse his children, an allegation Parnell’s wife leveled against him last week as part of a bitter custody battle. Lori McGoogan said under oath during the final day of custody hearings at the Butler County Courthouse that she has provided child care for the children for about a decade — including in-home care starting about five years ago, overnight care, and completion of household tasks like laundry and dinner preparation — and that she never witnessed Parnell become...

Mary Robertson, an American businesswoman who lived in London in 1980, hired a young woman to be her nanny. She had no clue that her nanny would later be known as Princess Diana. Back in 2017, Inside Edition interviewed Mary Robertson about Lady Diana Spencer's time working for her and what she labeled as the late Princess' "happiest year of her life." At that point, the People's Princess made only $5 an hour taking care of Mary's toddler son, Patrick, and handling several other activities, including doing their laundry, picking up a bunch of toys and washing the dishes. One...

After graduating from Spelman College in 2015, Brieonna Johnson knew she wanted to work with children. She applied for teaching jobs, but the pay was low and she was worried about paying off her student loans. Although she had worked as a part-time nanny in college, she hadn’t considered that she could turn it into a full-blown career. But then she came across a nannying agency in Atlanta. In 2016, Johnson found a live-in position with a family in Atlanta and fell in love with the work and the kids. Being able to live with the family was a major...

President Donald Trump hosted a lively discussion at the White House about the benefits and dangers of vaping flavors. The president spent over an hour listening to supporters for banning vaping flavors as well as vape industry advocates who have sharply criticized the president’s proposed ban.

The sale of foie gras looks set to become illegal in New York City with city council members expected to pass a bill on Wednesday that bans the sale of the fattened liver of a duck or goose at restaurants and grocery stores. Under the bill, vendors and restaurateurs caught selling the French delicacy could be slapped with a $1000 fine and a year behind bars. Animal welfare advocates have long supported banning the sale of foie gras, claiming the practice of force-feeding a bird by sticking a tube down its throat is inhumane. However, farmers who produce the specialty...

To San Franciscan Chris Chin, the owner of a vape shop in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood, the proposed e-cigarette ban being considered by city officials would be tantamount to becoming the ultimate “nanny city.” “I’ve renamed it ‘Ban Francisco’ because you can’t do anything in the city,” said Chin, whose store, Gone With the Smoke, stands to go out of business if the city enacts the proposed ban. “You can’t get a plastic straw or bag, or flavored tobacco. What’s next?” Chin’s sentiments capture an undercurrent of frustration that a city once famous for its free-spirited ethos has strayed so...

Why I want a robot nanny Ruth Margolis I'm a tech-phobic parent — not exactly the sort of person who gets excited about the idea of letting a machine watch my children. But when I heard about the newly developed iPal — a doe-eyed, 3-foot-tall robot companion — I couldn't help but see the potential advantages to struggling parents of young kids. So many of us are crippled by the costs of childcare, sleep deprived and, frankly, bored. (You try coming up with 37 different scenarios for "The Wheels on the Bus" before breakfast...) Is it really so crazy to...

New York City plans to start enforcing a first-of-its-kind requirement for chain restaurants to use icons to warn patrons of salty foods after getting an appeals court's go-ahead Thursday to start issuing fines. But it's not the final word on whether the regulation will stand. The novel rule took effect in December, and some eateries already have added the requisite salt-shaker-like icons to menu items that contain more salt than doctors recommend ingesting in an entire day.

It was the most awkward and divisive of questions that I would ask of other parents, usually new acquaintances, but also of old friends. We’d be on the phone, discussing our young children, laughing, and the subject of play dates would come up. The other mom might say, “Can Chloe come over here tomorrow to play with Maddie?” I would ask, “Do you keep guns in your house?” Always it would lead to the most illuminating of answers, whether yes or no. If the response was negative, the parent would answer immediately, following up with something like, “No, never. We...
