After former presidential candidate Nikki Haley signed an Israeli shell with the contextually-horrific phrase “finish them” last week, the act of “bomb-signing” has come under scrutiny online, and now, Captain America actor Chris Evans is at the center of the conversation.
Specifically, a photo of Evans signing what appears to be a bomb has gone viral, with some suggesting that the pic is related to Israel’s ongoing siege of Gaza. In response, the actor has spoken out against this “misinformation,” clarifying that the photo is not recent, and was actually taken in 2016 when he was on a Uso tour visiting American troops in Turkey.
“I was with a group of actors, athletes, and musicians to show appreciation for our service members,” Evans said in a statement posted to his Instagram story. Addressing the item itself, Evans explained: “The object I was asked to sign is not a bomb, or a missile,...

Chris Evans offered some clarification after a resurfaced photo of him signing what initially appeared to be a missile sparked controversy.
The image taken eight years ago began circulating on social media this week, which led some fans to wrongly criticize the actor for autographing what they claimed to be an Israeli bomb. However, the Captain America star took to his Instagram Story on Thursday to shut down the accusations.
“There’s a lot of misinformation surrounding this picture. Some clarification: This image was taken during a Uso tour in 2016,” Evans wrote. “I went with a group of actors, athletes and musicians to show appreciation for our service members. The object I was asked to sign is not a bomb, or a missile, or a weapon of any kind.”
“It’s an inert object used for training or display purposes only. You can read the quote from the Air Force in the next story,...

In a recent visit to Israel, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley made headlines for a controversial message she wrote on an artillery shell.
Haley, also a former Republican presidential candidate, was photographed signing an artillery shell with the message “Finish them! America Israel always, Nikki Haley” during her visit to an Israeli military post on the northern border. The image was shared on social media by Danny Danon, Israel’s former ambassador to the United Nations and a member of the Israeli Parliament.
Her photo-op and her controversial message followed a global outcry over an Israeli airstrike on Sunday that killed at least 45 people when a blaze ignited in a tent camp in a western district of the southern Gaza city of Rafah. Rafah was a former haven for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians until the Israel Defence Forces began its offensive there more than three weeks ago.

In a local TV interview, former President Donald Trump revealed a list of four people he is considering as vice presidential candidates.
In an interview with News 12 News Jersey, following his campaign rally in The Bronx, New York, political reporter, Tara Rosenblum asked if Trump was considering former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who declared last week that she would vote for him in the 2024 presidential election.
“A big night last night, Nikki Haley making her first public remarks since dropping out of the race,” the reporter asked. “She said that Joe Biden has been a catastrophe, and she’s voting for you. I’m sure those were welcome remarks for you, but they also left a lot of people wondering if there is room for her on your team or, better yet, your ticket.”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized Democrats and women for underestimating the anti-abortion movement and recalled how she felt abandoned by women toward the end of her campaign for president in 2016 because she was not “perfect.”
Clinton called out the double standard against women in politics, claiming voters were more willing to take a risk on former President Donald Trump because was a man.
“They left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me, because as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect,” Clinton told the New York Times. “They were willing to take a risk on [Trump] . . . because he was a man, and they could envision a man as president and commander in chief.”
Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley also faced sexist attacks during her campaign, similar to Clinton. Haley was insulted by Vivek Ramaswamy, another former GOP presidential candidate, who called her “Dick Cheney in three-inch heels.

Nikki Haley, the former Republican presidential candidate, was mocked online by fellow Republicans for declaring that she would vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Haley made this announcement and explained why she chose to back Trump during a Q&a session at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington.
“As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who’s going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, who would secure the border, no more excuses,” she stated.
“A president who would support capitalism and freedom, a president who understands we need less debt, not more debt,” she added.
“Trump has not been perfect on these policies,” the former Republican presidential candidate admitted. “I’ve made that clear many, many times. But [Joe Biden] has been a catastrophe. So, I will be voting for Trump. Having said that, I...

Nikki Haley spent the 2024 primary season railing against Donald Trump, but now she’s pledging her vote to him, tail between her legs.
Haley made the admission during her first speaking event since suspending her campaign Wednesday afternoon at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank where she was recently appointed the Walter P. Stern chair.
Though the event was primarily focused on national security weaknesses and responses to the Middle East, the moderator at one point asked Haley about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the presumptive nominees for president.

Nikki Haley said that she will be voting for Donald Trump in November, ending speculation since she ended her presidential campaign.
“I will be voting for Trump,” she said at an event at the Hudson Institute today.
In a Q&a session after giving a speech, Haley told attendees that Trump “has not been perfect” on foreign policy and debt, among other things, but Biden “has been a catastrophe.”
Haley has posted criticism of Biden on social media since she dropped out of the presidential race in March. Back then, she said that it was up to Trump to “earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support” his presidential bid.
She continued to echo that plea in her remarks today. That is potentially significant, as she has continued to draw a significant share of support in the remaining primaries, even though she has...

During his Monday return to the anchor chair, The Daily Show host Jon Stewart brought up the topic of the so-called cancel culture that is allegedly plaguing the political right. He concluded that while mostly these pundits claim the woke left are coming to get them, the true cancel culture of today only occurs when a Republican speaks ill of former president Donald Trump.
Following some light jabs and gags around Trump’s current criminal trial in New York — one which had Stewart comparing the former president to the cartoon character Mr. Magoo (‘He’s just stumbling around, quid pro quo and metal beams falling all around, gets out completely unscathed”), the host brought up the hot topic of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. The religious pro-athlete gave a commencement speech at Benedictine College last week where he condemned abortion, euthanasia, IVF, surrogacy and the LGBTQ community — and then...

Dr. Bruce A. Aronwald, Donald Trump‘s physician, has raised eyebrows with his unusual reports about the former president’s health. Aronwald is a member of Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
On November 20, 2023, Trump posted a letter from Aronwald to his social media platform, Truth Social, reporting that, after his medical examination on September 13, 2023, he is in “excellent” mental and physical health.
The physician, who has been treating the former president since 2021, wrote that his “physical exams were well within the normal range, and his cognitive exams were exceptional.”
He also mentioned that the recent lab results had been “even more favorable than prior testing on some of the most significant parameters.” The letter, however, did not cite any evidence supporting his claims, including measures of blood pressure or cholesterol levels, and did not contain any test results.

Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate the June 27 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the network said.
Both candidates said today that they had agreed to participate in the event, which will take place at CNN’s studios in Atlanta.
Tapper and Bash were to co-moderate a Republican primary debate this year in New Hampshire, but that was canceled after Nikki Haley and Donald Trump declined to participate, leaving just Ron DeSantis.
CNN has not yet said whether other networks will be offered a feed to simulcast the event. ABC News, which is hosting the second debate on Sept. 10, said that it would provide its coverage for other networks to broadcast and stream. Puck first reported the news on the choice of moderators, about a minute before the network announced it.
This will be the first time that Tapper or Bash has moderated a general election debate.

Judy Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy, is suing the parent company of National Enquirer and InTouch Weekly for defamation after they released a story connecting Sheindlin to the Menendez Brothers.
Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989 after alleged sexual abuse by their father. The brothers were incarcerated in 1990 and continue to serve prison time.
In April, InTouch Weekly published an article titled “Inside Judge Judy’s Quest to Save the Menendez Brothers Nearly 35 Years After Their Parents’ Murder.” A second version of the story was later published in the National Enquirer.
“When you fabricate stories about me in order to make money for yourselves with no regard for the truth or the reputation I’ve spent a lifetime cultivating, it’s going to cost you,” Sheindlin stated. “When you’ve done it multiple times, it’s unconscionable and will be expensive. It has to...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) said that the FBI is investigating a possible hacking of his phone by someone impersonating Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“My phone is in the hands of the FBI now,” Graham said. “I got a message, I think, from Schumer, but it wasn’t from Schumer. The next thing you know, my phone’s… I don’t know what. Anything you can create, apparently, can be hacked.”
The Senate Sergeant At Arms, who manages cybersecurity for the chamber, delivered an advisory warning to Senate offices regarding the phishing scheme effort.
“The Sergeant At Arms is investigating a possible hack of Sen. Graham’s phone,” Taylor Reidy, a spokesperson for the South Carolina senator, stated.
Schumer is famous for using a flip phone and preferring calling over texting. Similar hacking attempts were reported on other Senate staff last week.

Kristi Noem has repeatedly affirmed that yes, she actually did murder her 14-month-old dog — but that doesn’t mean the South Dakota governor’s upcoming memoir, No Going Back, isn’t full of easily disprovable lies.
According to The Dakota Scout, which obtained a copy of the book, Noem claims that as a member of Congress, she met with elusive North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
“Through my tenure on the House Armed Services Committee I had the chance to travel to many countries to meet with world leaders,” Noem wrote.

The Gateway Pundit has been facing litigation by election workers and other people who endured harassment after the site made inaccurate claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Some of these lawsuits were made by people who claim to have received numerous threats after being vilified in fake stories.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley received over 156,000 votes in the Pennsylvania GOP primary election despite dropping out of the race in March, suggesting a significant protest vote among Republicans.
Haley won 16.5% of Pennsylvania’s primary vote on April 23.
She secured twice the number of votes by which Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in 2020.
Both parties are focusing on Pennsylvania since its 19 electoral votes make it a critical battleground state.
Tens of thousands of Republicans refused to vote for Trump even though he is the likely GOP nominee.
He won the primary race in the critical swing state with 83.5% of the vote, amounting to more than 786,000 votes.
Biden gained 90% of the Democratic vote in this primary election.
If the former South Carolina governor’s GOP supporters decide not to back the former president in November, it could swing Pennsylvania in Biden’s favor. This week, the Biden campaign increased outreach...

Poppy Harlow is exiting CNN after a morning show failure and sixteen years with the network. She had experienced a shakeup in 2022 and things just continued to go downhill. Now, she has made the decision to leave. Keep reading for all of the details.
Poppy Harlow Exiting CNN After Morning Show Failure
After sixteen years with CNN, Poppy Harlow is leaving and a lot has to do with a big shakeup that occurred in 2022. She had spent over five years co-hosting CNN Newsroom with Jim Sciutto and they made a great duo. Then, she was moved to an early morning slot alongside Don Lemon and Kaitlan Collins for CNN This Morning. Lemon had come from anchoring his own primetime show whereas Collins was a correspondent. Unfortunately, the match did not light and Lemon was starting to get into trouble. He then made an inappropriate comment about former presidential candidate, Nikki Haley.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) signed a bill allowing state authorities to arrest any migrants who entered the United States illegally. Immigration is typically a federal not a state, issue.
“The Biden administration has failed to enforce our nation’s immigration laws, putting the protection and safety of Iowans at risk,” Reynolds said in a statement, during which she had announced the signing of the legislation, which goes into full effect this July.
“Those who come into our country illegally have broken the law, yet [Biden] refuses to deport them,” she added. “This bill gives Iowa law enforcement the power to do what he is unwilling to do: enforce immigration laws already on the books.”
The Iowa governor is one of many Republican governors who have fiercely criticized Biden’s immigration policies.
She deployed the Iowa National Guard to back Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s anti-migrant measures and made several trips to the U.

Former presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s husband, Michael, returned home after serving in the National Guard for a year.
Haley posted family pictures on X, saying, “That moment when you finally take a breath… It’s been a long year but even longer without each other.”
Thankful for Michael’s safe return and the end of a year-long prayer.”
The pair have been married for almost 30 years and have two children, Rena and Nalin.
Haley’s husband has also been deployed to Afghanistan and with the National Guard since 2006, holding the rank of major.
Recently, Donald Trump antagonized the Haley family, saying at a rally: “What happened to [Nikki Haley’s] husband? Where is he? He’s gone. He knew. He knew.”
Haley clapped back at Trump, “Michael is deployed serving our country, something you know nothing about.”
In a speech she made in South Carolina, Haley made remarks about Trump’s age and cognitive abilities,...

After repeatedly saying Donald Trump is unfit to be president, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) was confronted by ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos about his new support for the former president.
Interviewed on ABC’s This Week, Sununu was questioned for his support of Trump. Sununu previously backed former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley and criticized Trump for contributing to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. In January, Sununu claimed Trump has “no energy” and can “barely read a teleprompter.”
Trump criticized Sununu far before the New Hampshire governor backed his then-presidential campaign opponent. Now, Sununu says he believes Trump should not drop out of the election race even if he is convicted in his classified documents case.
Stephanopoulos: Just to sum up. You support Trump for president even if he's convicted in the classified documents case. You support him for president even though you believe he contributed to an insurrection. You...

Former President Donald Trump’s new joint fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee (RNC) allows donations to the party to be funneled to his campaign and Pac to cover his legal expenses.
Under the arrangement, Republican donors will see a portion of their money go toward helping Trump pay off his staggering legal bills before they are used for the national and state parties during the election season.
The details of the joint fundraising agreement were mentioned in the fine print of an April 6 fundraiser invite.
This invitation mentions that donations to the joint fundraising committee, the Trump 47 Committee, will initially be used to give the maximum amount allowed under Federal Election Commission (Fec) guidelines to the Trump campaign.
The remaining money will go toward the maximum donation to the Save America Pac, and any money left will be granted to the RNC and state political parties.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) is using robotic calls to spread inaccurate information about the 2020 election with scripted calls to voters’ phones on behalf of the new co-chair, Lara Trump, Donald Trump‘s daughter-in-law.
Despite calls from prominent Republicans to focus on the future and win in 2024, the RNC, under Lara’s leadership, continues to propagate baseless claims about massive fraud in the last election.
As a commentator and surrogate for the former president, Lara has consistently supported Trump’s unfounded allegations. The recent call obtained by CNN, estimated to have reached approximately 145,000 recipients between April 1 and 7, echoed Lara’s previous statements.
The scripted call alleged various forms of election fraud, such as the absence of photo IDs, unsecured ballot drop boxes, mass mailing of ballots and voter rolls that contained deceased individuals and non-citizens. It even suggested that Democrats aim to cancel out legitimate votes with those cast by non-citizens.

Just minutes before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was set to get underway in April 2023, New York Post Editor-in-Chief Keith Poole and star columnist Miranda Devine were on a mission to find an extra seat. Inside the Washington Hilton hotel, the pair had a very special guest that they needed to accommodate and their table was oversubscribed. After some musical chairs among staffers, Vivek Ramaswamy spent much of the evening talking with Poole, a Brit feted as a “boy wonder” in Murdoch circles.
Poole, who like all Murdoch editors has a direct line to “the boss,” had already created waves in his handling of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential announcement. “Been There, Don That” was the headline that was tucked away on page 26 of the Nov. 22, 2022 edition of the Post. But it was the teaser at the bottom of the front page that went viral. “Florida man makes announcement.”
Soon, Poole would be in a pickle.

The centrist group No Labels is scrapping its plan to offer a third-party choice in the 2024 election after failing to recruit a credible presidential candidate to lead the ticket.
“Americans remain more open to an independent presidential run, and hungrier for unifying national leadership, than ever before,” the organization said in a statement. “But No Labels has always said we would only offer our ballot line to a ticket if we could identify candidates with a credible path to winning the White House.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, suggested that she might want to leave the Republican Party.
During an interview with CNN’s chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju on March 24, he asked her how Murkowski felt about Trump calling January 6 prisoners “hostages.”
“I don’t think that it can be defended,” she responded.
“What happened on January 6 was an effort by people who stormed the building in an effort to stop an election certification of an election,” she added. “It can’t be defended.”
“I wish that – that as Republicans, we had a – we had a nominee that I could get behind,” the Alaska senator stated. “I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.”
“Are you considering being an independent at this point,” Raju then asked Murkowski.

Trump’s fixation on mental fitness can be traced back to his observations of his father’s deteriorating dementia, a formative period that has had a significant, yet rarely mentioned, impact on his life as it has instilled in him an ever-present fear that he might suffer the same in the future.
In the mid-1990s, Donald Trump invited his extended family to Mar-a-Lago, his Florida estate. Amidst the lavish gathering, Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr., was visibly struggling, according to Trump’s niece Mary L. Trump.
At the event, Fred, then in his late 80s, failed to recognize two of his children and approached Trump with a picture of a Cadillac and asked his son’s permission to make the purchase. Mary’s recollection sheds light on Fred Trump Sr.’s battle with dementia, a condition diagnosed several years prior.

Lemon announced his departure from X with a video to the platform: “Hi, everyone. Elon Musk is mad at me.”
Lemon said that the situation will not change any aspect of his show “except for [his] relationship with Elon and X.” Lemon also said the interview was respectful and covered a broad range of topics, including Musk’s SpaceX company.

Last week, allies of former President Donald Trump officially took over the Republican National Committee (RNC).
Short thereafter, a resolution to ban Trump’s spiraling legal bills was abandoned as a lost cause.
Mississippi’s national committeeman Henry Barbour, son of former RNC Chairman Haley Barbour, confirmed that the resolution that he had drafted is “dead.”
Barbour said he only received co-sponsors from eight out of the ten necessary states to bring the resolution to a vote.
In February, Trump officially endorsed GOP North Carolina Chair Michael Whatley as his preferred successor to lead the committee.
The former president also endorsed Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law, for the position of RNC co-chair. This sparked accusations of nepotism from critics inside and outside of the group.
His chief primary opponent, Nikki Haley, commented on this move, saying there are no “kings in this country.”

Don Lemon, who was fired from CNN last year after 17 years at the network, had been working with Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) to launch a new talk show on the platform.
Now, according to Lemon, Musk has nixed the partnership — coming just a few hours after Lemon interviewed the tech mogul last week.
“Elon Musk has canceled the partnership I had with X, which they announced as part of their public commitment to amplifying more diverse voices on their platform,” Lemon said in a statement posted Wednesday on X. “He informed me of his decision hours after an interview I conducted with him on Friday. That interview will remain the premiere episode of ‘The Don Lemon Show’ on Monday, March 18.”
A rep for Lemon told Variety, “Don has a deal with X and he expects to be paid for it. If we have to go to court, we will.

Updated: The rematch is on.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump each clinched their party’s presidential nominations, after their amassed a majority of delegates in Tuesday’s primaries.
Biden crossed the 1,968 delegates needed for the Democratic nomination with his win of the Georgia primary, according to network projections.
Donald Trump passed the 1,215 delegates needed to secure the Republican nomination after he was projected to win the Washington state primary.
While the milestone was covered across cable news tonight, the Biden vs. Trump rematch has been clear for some time — given the polls and their victories in early primaries.
Biden faced nominal opposition from Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-mn), who have not managed to perform in the double digits in the primary contests so far. After Super Tuesday, Phillips dropped out and endorsed Biden.

This season has included a slew of hosts — some controversial. While the March 2 episode saw Sydney Sweeney in her hosting debut and musical guest Kacey Musgraves, the women followed Shane Gillis — the comedian who was fired from “SNL” in 2019 due to racist, homophobic, Islamophobic and misogynistic jokes he made on his podcast and other media.

After conceding the race to now-presumptive nominee Donald Trump, Haley is now on the clock when it comes to whether or not she will endorse Trump, whom she has called “toxic and lacking “moral clarity.”
“America will never forget you… oooh, I wan’t to say Narky Stanley? Nibbly Snacky? Sticky Hale-Bopp?”

On Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) engaged in a heated verbal altercation with British journalist Emily Maitlis. The confrontation took place at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where Greene was present as a prominent right-wing congressional ally of former President Donald Trump.
Maitlis, who is currently affiliated with The News Agents podcast but gaining recognition for her 2019 BBC interview with Prince Andrew, initially questioned Greene about her message for Republican candidate Nikki Haley following a successful Super Tuesday for Trump.
Maitlis also inquired whether Greene aspired to become Trump’s running mate in the upcoming November election. However, the conversation took a turn when Maitlis broached the topic of conspiracy theories.
Maitlis posed the question, “Can you tell me why so many people who support Donald Trump love conspiracy theories, including yourself?”
Greene promptly fired back with a smile and accused Maitlis of being a conspiracy theorist herself. Greene...

This cycle’s Super Tuesday lacked suspense — and that showed in the viewership numbers.
About 11.4 million viewers tuned into coverage during the peak hour of 10 p.m. Et, when the three major broadcast networks joined with the three major cable networks with live coverage, according to early numbers from Nielsen. That’s far less than the nearly 19 million who tuned in across those networks during the last cycle, in 2020.
But Super Tuesday 2020 featured the surprise showing of Joe Biden against Bernie Sanders, in a race that was still undoubtedly competitive. By contrast, there were few surprises in this year’s results, as Donald Trump and Biden dominated their respective contests. Nikki Haley, Trump’s last remaining rival for the nomination, dropped out earlier today, as did Dean Phillips, who had challenged Biden.

While talking about Venezuela, the former president seemed to refer to the country as “Venezuera.” Later on, he voted to “expel the wall-mongers” instead of the war-mongers, leaving X users to joke that he was promising to get rid of himself.
Trump also continued to cut off his sentences and repeat himself when his syllables were mispronounced.
Trump and President Joe Biden’s age and mental competency have recently come into question, as they are likely to face each other in the 2024 presidential election.
Trump has been known to attack Biden for his verbal flubs, though the president has started to fight back.
“He’s about as old as I am, but he can’t remember his wife’s name,” Biden said during an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers,...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) said that he was backing Donald Trump’s presidential bid, even though he had blamed and blasted the former president for his “disgraceful” role in the January 6th attacks on the Capitol.
Trump also has used racist remarks against McConnell’s wife, former Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao. Trump has called her “coco chow.”
In a statement, McConnell said, per the AP, “It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States. It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support.”
McConnell’s backing is little surprise: he had signaled that he would support the GOP nominee, whoever it was, even after the attack on the Capitol. He made today’s announcement shortly after Nikki Haley dropped out of the presidential race,...

Nikki Haley said that it is up to Donald Trump to “earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support” his presidential bid.
In brief remarks in which she announced that she is suspending her presidential bid, Haley said that “at its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away, and our conservative cause badly needs more people.”
“This is now his time for choosing,” she said.
Trump has previously berated Haley for staying in the race, with his campaign calling her “birdbrain” and the former president mocking her husband, Michael, for being absent on the campaign trail. He’s been serving in the military on a deployment in Africa.
Trump also has threatened Haley’s supporters, writing in January that “Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the Maga camp.
