Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) praised the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris, France, as being “imaginative, inventive and memorable.” The opening ceremony featured an opening dance number that showed women being “flung around on poles,” while another dance number showed three dancers, two men and a woman, who had been dancing through the streets, going up the stairs of a building as they began kissing. The dancers then went into a room and began to kiss some more. Lady Gaga also sang French songs in a prerecorded opening, while Celine Dion sang from the Eiffel Tower.

WASHINGTON — The surge of excitement around Kamala Harris has locked in powerful interest groups and unions, cemented titans of Wall Street and Hollywood, and captured "coconut-pilled" progressives and Joe Biden campaign aides alike. But Harris’ rapid ascent to the top of the Democratic ticket is also animating another important coalition of voters: former Republicans more desperate than ever to turn the page on Donald Trump. Already, Harris has notched Republican support from former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan. Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican, endorsed Biden in 2020. After launching a third party in 2022, Whitman...

So much for setting a new tone, huh? Photo of death wish clothingEmbiggen as necessary. That would be a screenshot from Amazon where someone was selling clothing that said 'The Only Good Trump is a Dead One."

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign team backed out of a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, saying it wouldn’t commit to debate details until the Democratic Party chooses its nominee. “Given the continued political chaos surrounding Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee,” the former president’s campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, said in a statement on Thursday.

Former Trump administration communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that if former President Donald Trump keeps calling Vice President Kamala Harris, he will increase her voter base. Scaramucci said, “The sexism and the attacks that worked in 2016 that frankly Baby Boomer voters are used to is not something that the Generation X or Z have a taste for. President Trump can’t land a punch yet. He’s trying to find something that’s going to land on Vice President Harris, but I’ll tell you what, you want to call her dumb as a rock or DEI candidate, if...

Former President Donald Trump missed 12 putts while playing a round of golf alongside Bryson DeChambeau. The 2024 Republican nominee for president appeared on the professional golfer's popular "Break 50" series, where they raised money for charity. Trump, 78, and DeChambeau, 30, played a two-person scramble, a common golf game in which "each player plays from the teeing area on each hole, one of the tee shots is selected and all the players play their second shots from within one club length of that location, no closer to the hole, and in the same height of grass in the general...

And guess what the DNC will champion in August? A major theme of the Republican National Convention was illegal immigration or the invasion of migrants across our nation’s southern border.Speaker after speaker elaborated on the migrant invasion while The New York Times midway into the convention ran an article stating these claims were exaggerated. RNC speakers were also careful to state that they supported legal immigration yet these statements were ignored as critics from the left accused the convention of being anti-immigration. Examples of the anti-immigration charge were common on the PBS show, ‘Democracy Now’ despite host Amy Goodman’s superficial...

What are the chances there will be another attempt on President Trump’s life in the remaining months before the election? Trump supporters cheered when we saw that the former president had survived the assassination attempt and pumped his fist in defiance and heroic resolve. We mourned the death of Corey Comperatore who died heroically protecting his family from harm, and we prayed for David Dutch and James Copenhaver who were seriously wounded by the assassin’s bullets. In the days afterwards, we’ve been overwhelmed with the tumult surrounding the Secret Service’s epic and compounded failures in securing the rally site and...

(KDKA) — The Butler County district attorney is sticking up for two local snipers who were inside the building facing the roof where Thomas Matthew Crooks carried out the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

After an 80-year-old man was struck by an ATV while putting up a Trump sign in his yard in Michigan on Sunday, a 22-year-old called authorities saying he was involved, then killed himself, officials said. The elderly man was run over by an ATV driver in Hancock at 5:45 p.m. following other vandalism incidents appearing to target those expressing support for former President Donald Trump or law enforcement, police there said. On Monday, a 22-year-old man contacted Hancock police and said he wanted to “confess a crime involving an ATV driver within the last 24 hours," the Houghton County Sheriff’s...

When Joe Biden endorsed Kamala Harris to become the Democratic nominee, Donald Trump confidently claimed she’d be even easier to defeat in November than Biden would have been. In reality, the vice president’s arrival in the race on a tidal wave of support from her colleagues and party donors creates a major headache for the Republican’s campaign, which, until Sunday, had been enjoying mutinous disarray among its Democratic opponents. Beyoncé Gives Her Approval for Kamala to Use ‘Freedom’ as Campaign Anthem Now, with Harris already claiming to have enough support to become her party’s nominee, reports suggest the Trump campaign...

American Federation of Teachers boss Randi Weingarten has been ripped as an “unhinged lunatic” after she delivered a wild, political rally-style speech suggesting that former President Donald Trump was an “existential threat” to democracy. The teachers’ union president screamed and shouted at her members as she warned of looming violence and fascism if Trump wins the 2024 election when she took the stage during the AFT’s annual convention in Houston, Texas, on Monday. “The November elections will determine which path we take as a nation. Progress is indeed possible, but so is the eradication of the rights and freedoms we...

After weeks of intense focus on President Biden’s health and age that ended with his withdrawal from the campaign on Sunday, the script has flipped: Former president Donald Trump is now the oldest presidential candidate in history — and one who has been less transparent about his medical condition than his former opponent. Trump, a 78-year-old with a history of heart disease and obesity, according to experts, has not shared any updated bloodwork results or other specific information during this campaign to help experts assess his ongoing medical risks. Instead, he has released a vague, three-paragraph letter from his primary...

Keith Olbermann, who has been hired and fired repeatedly over the years for his unsuitable behavior, is still on X pushing BluAnon conspiracy theories that claim Trump wasn’t shot on July 13. The ex-ESPN personality has pushed out one X post after another, claiming there is “no evidence” that Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt, according to Fox News. On Sunday, the distempered sports man even advised Donald Trump to “flee,” for some reason. Advice to Trump: Flee. Now. — Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) July 22, 2024

Sky News host Paul Murray says when US Vice President Kamala Harris was questioned if she agreed with Joe Biden’s call for a Russian regime change, she offered a “word salad” in a two-minute non-answer.

A TikTok video of Rosie O’Donnell’s meltdown about the upcoming election and her struggle to cope with the potential results has been going viral on social media. In the video that was uploaded on Saturday, O’Donnell put her TDS on full display by calling Donald Trump an “authoritative dictator” while admitting she needs a therapist to help her cope with the fact that Donald Trump may be president once again. “The whole thing is very very unnerving. It’s very unnerving,” she said to kick off the rant before explaining how her Therapist was dismissive of her TDS illness. “My therapist...

With the end of their convention, the Republican Party and Donald Trump have reached what in military theory is called the “culminating point.” “The culminating point of victory,” according to the Modern War Institute at West Point, “is the threshold when military advantages peak and then rapidly turn into disadvantages.” As an infantryman, I was taught that the culminating point is a paradox; it’s a moment of maximum vulnerability at a time when you believe you are at maximum strength. Let’s say your platoon has just taken a hill. Exhausted and jubilant, you’ve achieved your objective. Your troops have sent...

Hollywood star Sharon Stone has revealed that she is considering moving to Europe if former President Donald Trump wins in November. In a red carpet interview at the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily, where she was being honored with a lifetime achievement award, Sharon Stone didn’t mention Trump by name but made her political opinion abundantly clear. “Well I’m certainly considering a house here, and I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time,” the Basic Instinct star told Deadline.
