I just watched Cuban on Cavuto. Of course Cavuto had tingles running up his ham hocks as Cuban was spouting Kamala’s economic prowess. When Cavuto asked what he likes about Kamala’s economic plan….Cuban said, ”she’s thorough”. WTF Then he said he’d like to be chairman of the SEC.

Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) said Friday on CNN’s “OutFront” that since former President Donald Trump reposted AI-generated images about pop star Taylor Swift, he would lie about the big issues. Guest host Brianna Keilar said, “This is a very different topic I think one that is light, but also there’s something serious about it because you made it clear in your DNC speech, you’re a major Swiftie. The group’s Swifties for Kamala says it raised over $140,000 for her campaign and its virtual rally this week. There was no Taylor Swift there. Trump, though, is claiming the pop star supports...

The Foo Fighters are clarifying that they didn’t approve of one of their songs being played during a Donald Trump rally in Arizona. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the presidential race and the independent politician is now backing the former Republican president. During a rally in Gilbert in the swing stage, the song “My Hero” was played, and now the band, fronted by Dave Grohl, is breaking their silence. “Let us be clear,” the band’s social media account on X/Twitter posted. The band shared a screenshot of an exchange with another X user asking the Foo Fighters if...

Taylor Swift has hit back at Donald Trump's apparent acceptance of her 'support' in his race for the White House, with insiders claiming she believes the Republican has 'lost it.' The Presidential candidate, 78, shared AI-generated posts on his social media platform Truth Social on Sunday night suggesting he has gained the support of the Grammy-winner, 34, and her fans, known as 'Swifties.' Trump wrote 'I accept' alongside deepfake images showing women wearing shirts emblazoned with 'Swifties For Trump,' as well as a poster of the singer dressed like Uncle Sam and urging her fans to vote for the GOP...

Retired federal appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig, a prominent conservative legal scholar put on the bench by President George H.W. Bush, is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump, whose candidacy he describes as an existential threat to American democracy. It will be the first time Luttig, a veteran of two Republican administrations, has voted for a Democrat. “In the presidential election of 2024 there is only one political party and one candidate for the presidency that can claim the mantle of defender and protector of America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law,” Luttig...

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik has resigned, according to the Washington Free Beacon. In a letter to the Columbia community, Shafik wrote that her tenure has been “a period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community.” "This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community,” she added. In recent months, Shafik has come under fire for her handling of anti-Semitism on campus following Hamas’ barbaric attack on Israel that began last October. “I have tried to navigate a path that upholds academic principles and...

A former North Dakota State Senator pleaded guilty today to traveling to Prague, Czech Republic, to have commercial sex with minor boys. According to court documents and facts established in public proceedings, Ray Holmberg, 80, of Grand Forks, took approximately 14 trips to Prague between 2011 and 2021 to engage in commercial sex acts with minor boys. During some of these trips, Holmberg used the alias “Sean Evans” while staying at a brothel where young boys provided commercial sexual services. Holmberg also went to a public park in front of the main train station in Prague to procure sex from...

British singer-songwriter Rod Stewart poked fun at former President Trump for questioning Vice President Harris’s race and ethnicity, saying he never knew Trump “was Orange” until the GOP presidential nominee suddenly “became an Orange person.” “I didn’t know he was Orange until a number of years ago, when he happened to turn Orange,” Stewart wrote in his post, which featured four headshots of Trump, side by side, appearing to show Trump’s skin tone appearing progressively more orange. “I respect either one, but he obviously doesn’t because all of a sudden he made a turn and he went — he became...

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...

Rocker Dave Matthews was seen in the anti-Israel crowd that took to Washington, DC, streets Wednesday to protest against visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. News outlet Al Jazeera found him and did an interview. “It’s a disgusting show of support for someone who doesn’t deserve our support,” Matthews despaired in an on-air exchange with the outlet. At no time did he mention the hostages taken when Hamas terrorists invaded southern Israel last October 7, or consider their fate since. It was the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust — slaughtering babies, raping women, burning whole families alive, and...

The FBI's director has cast doubt on whether Donald Trump was struck by a bullet during the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania political rally. Christopher Wray was updating Congress on the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler on Wednesday when he made the explosive statement. 'There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,' Wray said. Wray was addressing security failures that allowed gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks to open fire. Crooks, 20, killed firefighter Corey Comperatore, 50, and injured two others including Trump during the shooting. The presidential hopeful has since...

Hollywood star John Leguizamo has spread fake news claiming that former President Donald Trump wasn’t injured during Saturday’s assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. John Leguizamo — who has recently filled in as host on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show — re-posted a photo of Trump showing his right ear without any sign of injury . “Not even a scratch! But milk it for all you can!” the actor wrote. However, it turns out the photo was from 2022. Not even a scratch! But milk it for all you can! https://t.co/GRPLkj8ASU — John Leguizamo (@JohnLeguizamo) July 16, 2024 The photo in question...

Tenacious D singer Kyle Gass has been dropped by his talent agency following his tasteless comments about the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. The 64-year-old expressed his wish that Trump's would-be assassin hadn't missed during the band's show in Sydney on Sunday. Fellow member Jack Black brought a birthday cake for him and asked him to make a wish and he replied: 'Don’t miss Trump next time.'

I am a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) expert. Will Trump seize the apparent assassination attempt against him as an opportunity to meaningfully address the epidemic of gun violence in America? Will he deem unacceptable the dangers to which citizens are exposed as they go to schools, places of religious worship, concerts, movie theaters, supermarkets, shopping malls, sporting events, and now, presidential campaign rallies? It’s possible, but unlikely. Butler is less than an hour north of Pittsburgh. It isn’t an urban center. But many big cities in which large numbers of Black Americans reside have long been plagued with inexcusably...

Saturday, shortly after former President Donald Trump evaded an apparent assassination attempt, NBC News national security correspondent Frank Figliuzzi expressed concerns that Trump supporters may seek revenge for the attempt to take the former president’s life. Figliuzzi, who regularly labels the right as a threat to public safety, said it could come in the form of Trump supporters taking on anti-Trump protesters at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next week.

Former President Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday months after House Democrats proposed legislation to remove his Secret Service protection. Democrat Bennie Thompson, the ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, introduced the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act (HR 8081) on April 19.

Trump’s unprecedented 91 felony charges in...

President Joe Biden said he is “grateful” that former President Donald Trump is “safe” and “doing well” after he was wounded at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. The shooter and at least on bystander and are dead, the Associated Press reported Saturday. Biden’s X account posted: I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information. Jill and I are grateful to the Secret...

Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas), who has previously endorsed Florida Governor Ron Desantis, is now seemingly attempting to undermine his own party by proposing a resolution urging Kamala Harris to initiate proceedings under the 25th Amendment to declare Joe Biden unfit for office. .... Snip.... Rep. Roy appears to be on a mission to rescue the Democrat party from what he perceives as a leadership crisis. His proposed resolution seeks to use the 25th Amendment as a tool to declare President Biden unable to perform his duties, a move that some critics are calling the “dumbest thing” to do.

No one asked Nikki Haley to come out of hiding to give her thoughts on Biden’s disastrous Presidential debate and take a veiled shot at Trump, but here we are. .... Snip.... Haley stated during the GOP presidential primary that Trump is experiencing mental “decline.” For ‘evidence’ of this, she claimed Trump confused her with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She explained to the Journal that doctors could administer the tests and should be voluntarily shared by candidates for federal office. “Washington is full of older people, and voters need to know who is up to the challenge and who...
