Trump this weekend lashed out at Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) after learning that the lawmaker " whom he had pardoned this week following bribery and conspiracy charges " still plans to run for re-election as a Democrat, decrying it as "such a lack of loyalty." But in doing so, he raised a red flag for political analysts. Liberal political network MeidasTouch said, "Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn't pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a 'lack of LOYALTY.' In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat." Columnist Molly Jong-Fast replied with, "I'm sorry…...

Okay, so the HOA president is the head of the homeowners association, which is a volunteer leader elected by board members to ensure that the bylaws are followed. It's a peak rich mom role, but it's not as glamorous as you'd think. "I'm the head of the homeowners association in our neighborhood," Kunis shared to the Wall Street Journal. "I take the complaints. If you have a complaint about someone's trash or if you have a noise complaint, you complain to me." Despite meeting on the set of That 70s Show when she was 14 and he…...

Kill survivors from an unarmed boat the Navy has bombed in the Caribbean! Turn against Canada, our number one ally! Threaten to take over Greenland! Sell out the Ukrainians to the Russian invaders! And there's a good chance, a very good chance, the worst is yet to come. How did we get a president who says these things, does these things? And what are the Democrats doing about it? Not much. A record speech in the Senate by Sen. Corey Booker (D-NJ). Another in the House by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). And of course there is self-righteous outrage over the Jeffrey Epstein files. The only new substantive issue is "affordability," and it came from New York City mayor-elect Zohran…...

1+ hour, 2+ min ago (274+ words) Irina Shayk and Tom Brady's respective love lives have been full of twists and turns, especially when it comes to their intertwined romance. While many thought their romance was long over, eyewitnesses and insiders are claiming a new story (and it has everyone questioning the timeline). The gossip blog DeuxMoi shared an update on Brady and Shayk's romance, the subject line reading, "Irina Shayk and Tom Brady's Secret Liason." They added, "It's strange because he just spent the last weekend with his extended family at a Michigan Wolverines football game and she wasn't there" (Then insinuating something rather rude about their dynamic that we're going to leave out.) So it seems their on-again-off-again relationship is back on (or at least on the down-low)! For those who don't know, Brady and Shayk met at a wedding in the summer of 2023. TMZ…...

1+ hour, 4+ min ago (656+ words) ]The latest South Park episode nailed it: When "Secretary of War" Pete Hegseth gets wind of a small Colorado town's annual holiday race, he declares it an "Antifa uprising" and calls out the troops to crush it. While armed forces assemble their AK-47s, Hegseth struts around filming himself for well-coiffed social media content, unaware that his obsession with "lethality" looks unhinged. South Park's point, previewed during Hegseth's shameful speech at Quantico, and his sophomoric tome championing war without rules, is that Donald Trump has reduced the US military to an absurdist prop so grotesque it raises questions of insanity. After a series of US strikes in the ocean killed 87 people suspected of trafficking drugs, strikes properly assessed as murder regardless of whether people died in the first, second, or whichever strike, Congress is finally alarmed as calls for Hegseth's impeachment…...

1+ hour, 9+ min ago (1797+ words) Tom Homan, the Trump administration's border czar, seems unfazed by recent viral examples of federal agents targeting American citizens. Over the past week, at least two videos circulated widely online and in the media showing immigration agents detaining or pursuing women as they cried out that they were U.S. citizens. In Louisiana on Thursday, a 23-year-old mother was chased by agents while walking home from a corner store. She repeatedly told them, "I'm a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby's waiting for me." And in Florida on Wednesday, a health care worker was detained during a traffic stop on her way to work. Despite intending to comply, she was threatened and forcibly removed from her car, she said. Footage captured by a Miami Herald reporter shows her being detained, yelling: "I'm a U.S. citizen....

"I asked Karoline to be godmother over my only sister," she said Thursday in a video interview from a remote detention center in Louisiana. "I made a mistake there, in trusting.Why they're creating this narrative is beyond my wildest imagination." Ferreira's arrest has raised the question of if there was personal involvement from the Leavitt family in ICE's actions, a claim that Michael Leavitt, Karoline's brother, has denied. "I had no involvement in her being picked up by ice," he wrote Wednesday to the Post. "I…...
