Former Vice-President-turned-perpetual-gaffe-machine Kamala Harris just added another entry to her blooper reel, and this one was apparently so disastrous that even her own handlers begged to deep-six it. TikTok star Kareem Rahma, host of the series Subway Takes, revealed on Forbes’ “Top Creators” show that a 2024 sit-down with Harris was spiked after she unleashed a “really, really bad” hot-take: “Bacon is a spice.” Rahma — a practicing Muslim who doesn’t eat pork — said the remark was so baffling, tone-deaf, and politically radioactive that both sides mutually agreed never to let America see the tape. Kamala Harris gave an...

There is a new trend of voters who chose President Donald Trump on the ballot speaking out against their vote and voicing their regrets now that they’ve had a few months to experience his presidency. These TikTok videos vary from satires to teary-eyed testimonials to cringy confessions that honestly don’t even seem real. However, it is astounding the amount of people — from a variety of backgrounds — who are denouncing the very man they just knew would help them prosper. The ignorance that blinded people from his racist, fascist, money-hungry ideals is beginning to lift slowly but surely.

A popular left-wing Gen-Z TikTok creator with millions of followers praised the deadly shooting of two Israeli diplomats in the U.S. capital, calling the gunman a “resistance fighter” — joining other far-left groups that have justified, excused, or openly celebrated the attack.

While some in the media attempted to portray the bomber of the Palm Springs fertility clinic as a right-wing anti-abortion zealot, the person taking credit for the bombing, Guy Edward Bartkus, 25, of Twentynine Palms, describes himself on X as a “pro-mortalist” which is an ideology that celebrates death and opposes the creation of all new life. Pro-mortalism is the antithesis of the pro-life perspective. Unlike the pro-life viewpoint, which values all life as sacred from conception until natural death, the pro-mortalist believes that it is best for any human being to die as soon as possible. In fact, the...

The big picture: Trump, who attempted to ban TikTok during his first term due to national security concerns, has pushed to keep the app alive in the U.S. despite bipartisan concerns about national security risks due to the app's ties to China.

The list...

VIDEOI was curious to see which TikTokker had the weirdest take on the death of Pope Francis. Although I did see a bunch of strange takes including a 900 year prophecy claiming his death would spark Armageddon, the observation connecting the Pope's death with Mississippi vampires is, if not the weirdest take, definitely the most creative one.

President Donald Trump said on April 17 that China has contacted his administration to negotiate amid an ongoing tariff war, and signaled that a deal on divesting TikTok from its Beijing-based partner company may wait for now. While speaking with reporters during an executive order signing ceremony in the Oval Office, Trump confirmed that top Chinese officials had reached out “a lot” after he raised tariffs on the nation to 145 percent. “I believe we’re going to have a deal with China, and if we don’t, we’re going to have a deal anyway, because we will set a certain target,...

People on social media are outraged over a video reportedly taken at the scene of a fatal mass shooting at Florida State University in Tallahassee, on Thursday, April 17. But it's not just over the alleged shooter, identified by Tallahassee police as 20-year-old FSU student Phoenix Ikner. It's over video that was seemingly shot by someone walking past a wounded, bleeding woman lying face down on the grass. Rather than stopping to help or even running away from an active shooter, as what sounds like two shots are fired in the background, the person walks by while sipping from a...

Amid the escalating US-China trade war, a report in the Glitz says China may give free rein to counterfeiters, particularly those which target luxury brands in America, in retaliation for Trump’s tariffs. Amid this, TikTok is flooded with videos that show how luxury brands manufacture their products in China.
