President Donald Trump has made another call for $600 stimulus checks to be increased to $2,000. This is at least his second public call for the stimulus amount to be increased for the American people. The president posted his message on Twitter, saying: “Made many calls and had meetings at Trump International in Palm Beach, Florida. Why would politicians not want to give people $2000, rather than only $600? It wasn’t their fault, it was China. Give our people the money!” The bill, which he has not signed, only called for $600 to most Americans, but Trump demanded an increase…

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…

Two comedians have purchased DonaldJTrump2024.com and have created a fake and generic website that looks similar to Trump’s website, and they’re using it to mock the president for losing the 2020 election. The comedians are Davram Stiefler (aka “The Good Liars”) and Jason Selvig and they refer to the president as a “loser” multiple times. They posted fake quotes by the president and even a little donation message that suggests money going to a PAC may not be used to support his legal team,…

Holt said to Biden, “What do you say to those who are wondering if you’re trying to…

The four articles of impeachment against Gov. Whitmer include failing…

While speaking with Holt, from NBC News, Biden said that he “made…

Hollywood actor Kurt Russell might have said the words that many people were thinking. The famous fella suggests that actors should stay away from politics and he had a good reason – that it hurts acting. When actors get too far involved with politics, they can become known for their opinions off the screen more than their performance on the screen. That’s something Russell suggests is hurtful to acting. To make it worse, when actors express too many political opinions, they also have the ability to scare some of their fans away in some form of disconnect. It’s like finding…
