9+ min ago (237+ words) Two of Donald Trump's closest friends became embroiled in a public feud on Sunday as the MAGA influencers dueled over a third right-wing voice's ties to Qatar. It started when the so-called Trump Whisperer, Laura Loomer, took a shot at ex-Fox News personality Tucker Carlson. She said, "In case you don't see what's happening here, Carlson is getting a place in Qatar because Qatar is now using their financial influence and bribery, in addition to their access to Tucker to change the peace deal organized by President Trump." "You will soon see all of these influencers and Tucker say HAMAS can't abide by any ceasefire unless Israel departs from Gaza entirely," Loomer wrote. But fellow Trump pal Roger Stone, who also served as an adviser to the president, took a shot at Loomer and defended Carlson. Loomer then hit back,…...

11+ min ago (235+ words) President Donald Trump took a moment out of his walk down the red carpet at The Kennedy Center on Sunday to weigh in on how "disappointed" he is in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. "So, we've been speaking to President [Vladimir] Putin and we've been speaking to Ukrainian leaders, including Zelensky, President Zelensky," Trump said. Zelensky posted to social media Sunday, "Ukraine deserves a dignified peace, and whether there will be peace depends entirely on Russia " on our collective pressure on Russia and on the sound negotiating positions of the United States, Europe, and all our other partners." He added, "Russia must be held accountable for what it is doing " for the daily strikes, for the constant terror against our people, and for the war itself."

16+ min ago (154+ words) President Donald Trump made a stunning claim about a mega media merger that was announced last week during a brief question-and-answer session during The Kennedy Center Honors event on Sunday. "What about Netflix and Warner Brothers?" the reporter asked. "Should they be allowed to buy Warner Brothers?" another reporter asked. "They have a very big market share and when they have Warner Brothers you know that share goes up a lot, so, I don't know, that's going to be for some economists," Trump said. "I'll be involved in that decision, too." On Friday, Netflix agreed to buy Warner Brothers' film and streaming businesses for $72 billion, which the company argued would create more opportunities for Hollywood creators, CNN reported. Experts said the deal looks "challengeable" because of the market share the Netflix would own following the merger, CNN reported. ALSO READ:…...

23+ min ago (311+ words) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) claimed President Donald Trump "directly fueled" death threats against her family " and specifically, one of her two sons " after he branded the lawmaker a "traitor." Greene made the bold accusation during an interview on 60 Minutes on Sunday night. Correspondent Lesley Stahl noted Trump and MTG were closely tied until recently, when their relationship "soured," after Greene criticized his handling of files tied to dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. The lawmaker, soon after Trump labeled her a turncoat in November, announced she would be resigning from Congress in early 2026. "You decided not to stay and fight. You decided to give in," Stahl said to her on Sunday. "After President Trump called me a traitor, I got a pipe bomb threat on my house. And then I got several direct death threats on my son," Greene said....

53+ min ago (230+ words) A spokesperson for Russia's Kremlin praised President Donald Trump on Sunday for presenting a vision of the world that is "largely consistent" with Russia, according to a new report. Dmitriy Peskov, the Kremlin's press secretary, said on Sunday that the "adjustments" Trump has made are praiseworthy, according to a report by Politico's European bureau, citing local Russian media. The comments come at a time when Russia and The U.S. continue to negotiate a peace settlement for the war in Ukraine. ""The adjustments we are seeing, I would say, are largely consistent with our vision, and perhaps we can hope that this could be a modest guarantee that we will be able to constructively continue our joint work on finding a peaceful settlement in Ukraine, at the very least," Peskov said, according to the report. Trump has offered starkly different views of…...

55+ min ago (247+ words) Should women be served smaller food portions than men? According to Professor Naveed Sattar, chairman of the Obesity Healthcare Goals programme (the government's obesity initiative): why, yes. We should. In an article for The Lancet, Sattar and his team suggest that "food outlets offer at least two portion sizes for common single-portion ready-to-eat products" " eg pre-packaged sandwiches, ready meals, takeaway pizzas, lattes and cakes in coffee shops " "differing by around 25 per cent " the average difference in energy requirements between men and women." The idea is that, while no woman is to be banned from picking up the bigger portion if she so desires, she should also be presented with the lesser portion as an alternative, one that would be priced more cheaply, and would also be appropriate for consumption by children "and those who are of short stature". Ah, and…...

Trump has succeeded in closing the door to progressive government and in all likelihood his preferred neoliberal candidate " previously trailing in many opinion polls " will be declared president when the count eventually finishes. While Washington's aversion to foreign interference in its domestic elections verges on paranoia, the gross hypocrisy which runs through its foreign policy leaves it free of any compunction when meddling in other countries' elections, especially in Latin America. Perhaps no country has greater recent…...

1+ hour, 7+ min ago (363+ words) Conservative commentator Benny Johnson'appears to be gearing up to sue Milo Yiannopoulos, after the British provocateur claimed Johnson's family man image is bogus and that it is an open secret he has slept with "boys" at political conferences. He then asked for his 4 million followers to "pray for healing for some really sick and delusional people. Jesus is about redemption. The legal system is about justice." Johnson did not reference Yiannopoulos specifically. But it looks like a good bet that is who he was talking about, considering his wife, Kate Johnson, posted a few hours earlier that Yiannopoulos "needs prayer. And a good attorney." I am duty bound to take action to protect my family against those who maliciously defame and attack us. More to come on that soon. " Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) December 7, 2025 The potential lawsuit comes two days after…...
