President Donald Trump and his hopes to be reelected were stifled as he lost a federal lawsuit this weekend during a rare Saturday session in Wisconsin. Trump wanted the court to name him the winner over Joe Biden, but it did not happen. Trump’s latest loss came at the hands of United States District Judge Brett Ludwig who dismissed the federal lawsuit, stating that Trump’s arguments were failing “as a matter of law and fact.” Trump’s attorney during the Wisconsin case was scolded by a liberal justice who claimed his case “smacks of racism” and could cause issues for the…

Cuomo is one of four potential candidates for the position. The others are Alabama Sen. Doug Jones, Merrick Garland who is a federal appeals court judge, and Sally Yates who is a former Deputy Attorney General.

These four candidates are simply a…

YouTube has announced that it will now remove videos that dispute the Joe Biden victory in the 2020 election over President Donald Trump. The video platform will target videos that suggest widespread voter fraud had played a part in the election, causing Biden to win, and in many cases, sharing false statements and false claims without indisputable evidence. YouTube wants to remove misleading videos that make false claims suggesting that President Donald Trump won the election, when the electoral votes were in Joe Biden’s favor, despite some not yet being certified and Trump having several legal challenges in the process.…

Majority Whip and Rep. James Clyburn has now stated on CNN’s “New Day” that claims of President Donald Trump trying to change the results of the election in his favor are an attempt to overthrow the government and an attempted coup.

Clyburn is saying this about Trump trying to take out Biden as the winner. Specifically, Clyburn said the following, as can be seen in the video below, “this is an attempt to…

Jason Bateman was back on Saturday Night Live with a new monologue and he describes the time he hosted SNL and was attacked by a monkey 15 years ago. The Ozark star stated that he was in a weird sketch that involved a real monkey back in 2005 and “things were loose” back then, suggesting that today’s SNL might be using a prop or fake monkey. Bateman says he leaned down to say good job to the monkey while they were on stage taking a bow at the end of the show and that’s where it happened. He says the…

Former President Barack Obama has weighed in on the longtime debate of Die Hard being a Christmas movie and not everyone will agree with his opinion. The former president was being interviewed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and Fallon asked if Die Hard was a Christmas movie. Obama’s said no and suggested that Die Hard is simply an action movie that “happens to involve tangentially Christmas.” Obama also says that It’s a Wonderful Life and Charlie Brown Christmas – are Christmas movies. Despite the popularity of calling the Bruce Willis action movie a Christmas movie, there are many…

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced backlash after posting a Tweet suggesting Republicans couldn’t handle being a waitress. Her Tweet stated the following,  “Republicans like to make fun of the fact that I used to be a waitress, but we all know if they ever had to do a double they’d be the ones found crying in the walk-in fridge halfway through their first shift bc someone yelled at them for bringing seltzer when they wanted sparkling.” Her message on the social media platform sparked thousands of responses from both sides of politics, with some supporting her statement and many others…

A recent poll has found that only 27 congressional Republicans have willingly acknowledged the Joe Biden victory over President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The poll was conducted by the Washington Post who surveyed all of the 249 Republicans in the Senate and House. This survey comes after President Donald Trump released a video accusing “corrupt forces” of stealing the election from him and claiming, incorrectly,  that he won the election. But, Trump did not win the election. The Republicans who were surveyed had gotten either phone calls or emails that asked three questions. They were as follows, per…

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has referred to the upcoming Covid-19 vaccine as the “Trump vaccine” and says it’s the result of having a businessman as president. McEnany said to reporters that the rapid development of the upcoming vaccine is a “tremendous achievement” and suggests there might be up to 40 million doses ready by the end of the year.  However, that’s just a short few weeks away and might be quite the challenge if at all possible. The Press Secretary appeared to credit the Trump administration for the fast efforts made on the immunization. As stated on Bloomberg,…

Taylor Swift has re-recorded a version of her hit song “Love Story” and licensed it to Match for a new ad that will star Ryan Reynolds. This is the first instance of Taylor releasing one of the re-recorded versions of an old tune. From Swift’s Twitter: “OK, so while my new re-records are NOT done, my friend @VancityReynolds asked me if he could use a snippet of one for a LOLsome commercial he wrote.” Taylor told fans that she would be re-recording her first six albums back in August 2019, after news broke about the multi-million-dollar acquisition of her original…

Greedfall recently popped up on Playstation’s PS Now service, and it got me thinking about the game, which I finished on the Xbox One early this year during the initial COVID lockdowns. When I drop money on a game, I fully expect certain things. I want smooth controls, an intuitive interface, slick graphics, and compelling voice acting. Greedfall, a 2019 RPG from the folks at Spiders, doesn’t have any of that. It looks and plays a lot like a last gen game, which would be completely forgivable on last gen hardware. On the Xbox One or PS4 the game will…

A couple months ago I decided that I wanted to re-experience some of the games that helped define my childhood. Specifically, I wanted to explore the Sega Genesis library and revisit games that were attached to some really fond memories. The Genesis was in my sister’s room, while I had the SNES and NES hooked up in mine. As a result I didn’t get to play it as much as I wanted, as my sister wasn’t too keen on me being in her room, especially since I had a tendency to hang her Barbie dolls from the ceiling fan and…

The president was celebrating during a holiday party at the White House when he addressed the crowd and made the mention of it. He stated to his audience, which boasted members of the Republican National Committee, that “it’s been an amazing four years… We’re trying to do another four years. Otherwise, I’ll see you in four years.” Pam Pollard, who supports the Oklahoma GOP, was posting video coverage of the party. Some criticized the party for…

Former President Barack Obama criticized the “defund the police” movement by comparing it to a “snappy slogan” that could cause them to lose a portion of their audience. The statement has the ability to divide and polarize people who support, or do not support, the police. Despite the goal of reforming the police, the “defund the police” statement is often misunderstood as getting rid of the police, rather than creating criminal justice reforms. Obama made these statements during his interview on “Good Luck America” via Snapchat, even comparing the “defund the police” saying to people marketing sneakers or songs, as…

This one will be a collaboration with Eric Clapton called “Stand and Deliver” and is set to release on December 4th in support of Morrison’s campaign “Save Live Music.” Written by Morrison and performed by Eric Clapton, “Stand and Deliver” will be the newest of four tunes he’s written in protest of worldwide Covid-19 lockdowns. In the first three singles “Born to Be Free,” “As I Walked Out” and “No More Lockdown” Morrison accused the U.K. government of “taking our freedom.”According to Variety, proceeds from “Stand and Deliver” will go…

The New York Times reported that Rudy Giuliani and President Donald Trump discussed a preemptive pardon, despite Giuliani not being charged with a crime. Giuliani has vehemently denied this and suggested that the New York Times has lied in their report and said it was based on an anonymous source. Giuliani wrote in his Twitter post, “NYT lies again. Never had the discussion they falsely attribute to an anonymous source. Hard to keep up with all their lies.” The article suggesting a Giuliani pardon was penned by Michael S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman, both well known for their work with…

The results of the election in the state of Arizona have officially been certified in favor of Democrat Joe Biden, sending another loss to President Donald Trump. Arizona has also rejected legal efforts to delay the certification by President Trump and his legal team or associates amid cries of voter fraud. Trump’s legal team has yet to provide any substantial evidence that would have delayed the certification in Arizona, therefore leading to Joe Biden’s victory in the state. Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, stated the following, “despite the unprecedented challenges, Arizonans showed up for our democracy… This election was conducted…

Thanksgiving was definitely different this year, but it also came with quite a surprise for 100 seniors living in this Dallas community when a local church provided them with rental assistance. This took place at the Inspiring Body of Christ Church (IBOC) in Dallas County during their Thanksgiving service, and they were certainly caught off guard as reported by KHOU. Betty Young stated “I was totally surprised” because she was one of the 100 seniors who were invited to a special service provided by the church, and that’s where they were presented with something that surely will help them through…

The CEO of Whole Foods is no fan of socialism. John Mackey suggests that socialism is a failed system and it “impoverishes everything,” further claiming that it really means “trickle up poverty.” Mackey participated in a conversation set up by the American Enterprise Institute and made several notable quotes that are making rounds on social media. A critical quote of his starts out like: “We have to recognize that some of the progressive insights are important and they shouldn’t go away, but we can’t throw out capitalism and replace it with socialism, that will be a disaster… Socialism has been…
