Convicted Liar Makes Wild Attempt to Disprove ‘Lies’ About Trump’s Decline

24+ min ago (327+ words) Entertaining that those who lied so convincingly about the fact that Joe Biden was a veritable incoherent vegetable when he was president now insist Trump, who I saw only days ago and who is no different than he has been in the 50 years I have known him, is slipping and near death," Stone wrote. Stone's claims that Trump is no different" now than at any other point in their longstanding relationship come amid widespread alarm over the state of the president's mental health. Recent incidents'like calling a female reporter piggy" and branding Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker a big fat slob'are hardly departures for a leader whose unfiltered ramblings and appetite for controversy have reshaped the political landscape over the past decade. But his recent antics'including nodding off in official meetings, frequent memory lapses, and bouts of verbal confusion'have fueled growing…...

ICE Barbie Short-Circuits When Confronted on Trump Granting D.C. Shooting Suspect Asylum

9+ hour, 54+ min ago (533+ words) Kristi Noem stammered when confronted on air Sunday with the fact that the suspected National Guard shooter's asylum request was approved under the Trump administration. The Homeland Security secretary, dubbed "ICE Barbie" over her penchant for cosplaying as an immigration official, deflected when asked on NBC's Meet the Press whether the Trump administration vetted Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, before approving his request for asylum from Afghanistan earlier this year. Lakanwal is accused of firing on two members of the National Guard near the White House on Wednesday. One of the victims, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, has since died of her injuries. Widely reported to have worked as part of a CIA-backed unit during the war in Afghanistan, the 29-year-old arrived in the U.S. after the embattled Central Asian country fell to the Taliban in 2021. But his asylum application was granted earlier in April, three…...

Trump’s Golf Habit Is Costing Taxpayers a Fortune

11+ hour, 2+ min ago (640+ words) President Donald Trump's love of golf is costing U.S. taxpayers an eye-watering amount that far exceeds his first-term spending. New analysis by HuffPost found that Trump's beloved hobby has already cost American taxpayers nearly $71 million since his return to the Oval Office in January, and is expected to total more than $300 million by the time his second term ends. If that figure turns out to be accurate, it would be nearly double the $151.5 million Trump spent on similar sporting outings while in office between 2017 and 2021. "I really wish I could tell you that it would make anyone in America change their mind about him, but the corruption is so baked in, so endemic, and so ludicrous that it feels like the collective reaction will be a shrug," conservative political consultant Rick Wilson told HuffPost. "It's one more example of Trump defining…...

White House Forced to Correct Childish Anti-Media Site

14+ hour, 35+ min ago (422+ words) The White House has launched a new web page aimed at tracking what it deems "media bias" and inaccuracies'which itself contained inaccuracies. The new "Media Bias" page went live on Friday, with the White House claiming it would help to expose "fake news." "Tired of the Fake News? We've got the place for you," the official White House X account wrote. "Get the FACTS. Track the worst offenders. See the Fake News EXPOSED." However, the site was briefly taken down before reappearing with alterations.

MS NOW Panel Rips Mike Johnson’s Complaints About Vacation Time

18+ hour, 34+ min ago (422+ words) House Speaker Mike Johnson may have been looking for pity while lamenting his busy work schedule, but he became the butt of a joke instead. "I haven't had a vacation day in two years. I haven't been off in two years, literally," he told Katie Miller on her podcast this week. Johnson and his wife Kelly spent much of their podcast appearance grumbling that they were constantly in "survival mode'ordering food in rather than cookingand MS NOW's The Weekend Saturday panel was quick to jokingly "bless his heart" over the complaints. The MS NOW panel began with a clip from the podcast, during which Johnson moaned: "Last Christmas, I was taking calls from members with their drama.

Slain National Guard Victim Was Frustrated by D.C. Deployment

1+ day, 12+ hour ago (585+ words) Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, the 20-year-old National Guard member who was fatally shot while on patrol in Washington D.C. this week, had mixed feelings about her deployment to the nation's capital, according to her former boyfriend. Beckstrom and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe were shot while on patrol on Thanksgiving Eve; Beckstrom died as a result, while Wolfe is still in critical condition. Both were members of the West Virginia National Guard. CNN interviewed Adam Carr, who dated Beckstrom for six years before breaking up last month, and asked how she felt about her deployment to D.C., a controversial move made by President Donald Trump in August. "Did she believe in the mission of being there? Did she think it was important, or did she think they didn't belong there, the West Virginia National Guard?" CNN correspondent Gabe Cohen asked Carr. "It was mixed,…...
