Although former President Donald Trump is still not ruling out an announcement about a 2024 presidential campaign, he is reportedly fuming over the Republican Party’s failure to produce a red wave. In the midterm elections, the twice-impeached former president’s hand-picked GOP candidates largely flopped, and Democrats still have an outside shot at maintaining congressional majorities in both chambers. Jim Acosta from CNN said that leaves Trump and his inner circle pointing fingers at one another. Raw Story reported on what Jim Acosta reported: “’Trump is livid’ and ‘screaming at everyone,’ after last night’s disappointing midterm results for GOP, according to…

Months after the basketball player was arrested in Russia for allegedly possessing cannabis oil, WNBA star Brittney Griner has been moved to a Russian forced labor camp.

Here is what White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in the statement: “Every minute that Brittney Griner must endure wrongful detention in Russia is a minute too long.” The statement continued: “As the Administration continues to work tirelessly to…

Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has won his reelection and offered some encouraging words to his fans, followers, and supporters – all in the face of former President Donald Trump who was trying to bash DeSantis leading up to the midterm elections. It’s unclear what’s going on with Donald Trump, but many Republicans believe it’s in bad faith for him to target people from his own party, especially those who are successful.

Kathy Griffin, a famous comedian, has been banned from Twitter, but she still found a way to circumvent the issue. She used her late mother’s account to tweet some more. The actress was suspended the same day when she changed the profile’s title to Elon Musk. The move was seen as a mockery by many people. Nobody knows if the suspension is a direct result of Griffin’s actions, but it is clear that it happened shortly after Musk stated that accounts impersonating celebrities would be blocked unless marked as parody. Impersonation has never been permitted on Twitter. Although he claims…

A lawsuit was filed by Pennsylvania Democratic lieutenant governor John Fetterman’s U.S. Senate campaign a day before the election, against state election officials, arguing that mail ballots with an incorrect or blank date should be counted. A federal judge was asked by Plaintiffs to, regardless of the date voters pen on the envelope, order all mail ballots to be counted. This lawsuit is coming a week after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that officials should set aside and not count mail ballots with an incorrect or empty date. The lawsuit reads: ”The date [requirement] imposes unnecessary hurdles that eligible Pennsylvanians…

People on Twitter are fuming at Pat Sajak, the longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host, for posing in a photo with Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Apparently, the picture was captured recently, and after it was re-shared by a Twitter account, it went viral on Twitter, and was described as “exposing right-wing extremism and other threats to democracy,” despite it simply being a photo and nothing else that suggests anything further about Sajak in general. https://twitter.com/JohnnyAkzam/status/1571496583610486786 However, critics are bashing Sajak and calling him names despite having zero evidence to back up their claims or even talking to him in person…

A new report was released by the House Republicans, detailing whistleblower allegations of FBI misconduct and politicization at the highest levels of the Department of Justice. The GOP report stated: “The Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the stewardship of Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, is broken.” “The problem lies not with the majority of front-line agents who serve our country, but with the FBI’s politicized bureaucracy,” the GOP report adds. This report is “the first comprehensive accounting of the FBI’s problems to date, which undermine the FBI’s fundamental law-enforcement mission,” Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee said.…

A tweet was deleted by the White House, in which they bragged about a bump in social security checks, after fact checkers called them out for the faulty narrative. “Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership,” the White House Tweeted on November 1st. But a fact check was added by Twitter to the post, noting that while Seniors will receive an increase in their social security benefits, it’s “due to the annual cost of living adjustment, which is based on the inflation rate.” Daniel Dale, CNN’s fact-checker, called the…

During the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s, D-Calif., husband, U.S. Capitol Police had a camera feed showing the outside of their home in San Francisco, but no one was monitoring it at the time, two sources familiar with the situation said. At the Capitol complex and around the country, this camera is just one of about 1,800 that the Capitol Police have the ability to monitor. But no one was actively watching the camera feed when the break-in occurred, the Washington Post first reported. However, when Pelosi is at her home, the house is being monitored full time. One…

The debut episode of CNN’s flashy new morning show, which is co-hosted by Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, has hit rock bottom and completely bombed in the ratings.

During an episode of the wildly popular “Joe Rogan Experience,” the host, Joe Rogan tore into White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre over her “incredible gaslighting.” The remarks by Rogan were made while he was talking to comedian Duncan Trussell as the two men donned their Halloween costumes. Rogan began by saying: “If you’re a lawyer, your job is not to make a judgment in your head. ‘I think maybe this guy’s lying and maybe he did it.’ Your judgment is to try to get your client off. And that’s why a lot of defense attorneys, man, that’s a slippery…

Former President Obama’s comments on Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker were fired back, as Obama recently said that being a good football player does not make him qualified to be a lawmaker. The former NFL running back, Walker, told “Fox & Friends’” Brian Kilmeade that he’s never met Obama, but if he had, it meant he was a celebrity “because all he did was hang out with celebrities.” Walker said: “He forgot to tell people I created one of the largest minority-owned food service companies in the United States of America, so I do sign the front of a…

“It was painful to watch Fetterman,” Dr. Phil said during a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.” The celebrity psychologist Dr. Phil told Joe Rogan that it was clear that there was something wrong with Pennsylvania Democrat U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman.

Rudolph did not look back on the moment in her career fondly, during an interview with WSJ Magazine recently.

And I’m sitting here embarrassed and humiliated. I didn’t know how to handle it. I didn’t know…

Lianna Hutchins, a Bournemouth resident, placed a £45 order for her family at Burger King in Castle Lane East. This sounds like a most usual everyday order, but it left Miss Hutchins “almost in tears” after one bite. She said that she has been a vegetarian all her life and has been vegan for the past three years but when she took a bite out of a nugget that she believed to be vegan – but was in fact chicken, she was left “almost in tears.” “When I ate it and realized, it made me feel sick,” Hutchins said. “I…

Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk looks for new ways to monetize the social media platform, so verified users on the platform may soon have to pay to retain their blue tick badges. The “whole verification process” was being revamped, without providing any details, said the billionaire in a characteristic vague tweet.
