Jimmy Kimmel lashed out at Aaron Rodgers during Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the New York Jets quarterback implied the late-night host’s name would be named as one of Jeffrey Epstein’s associates. “I’m not on the list. I was not on a plane or an island or anything ever, and I suggested that if Aaron wanted to make false and very damaging statements like that, we should do it in court so that he can share his proof with a judge.” Article content Calling him “Karen Rodgers,” and a “hamster-brained man,” Kimmel abused Rodgers relentlessly, making fun of...

When Defence Minister Bill Blair was later asked by reporters if the breakdown was a result of “sabotage,” he gave a non-committal answer. “I’m not going to comment on that,” said Blair. “There are, there are obviously ongoing concerns.” This then prompted a quick clarification by Blair’s press secretary, Daniel Minden, who released a statement saying that Canada has “no reason” to believe it was sabotage, and the aircraft was most likely plagued by a “technical issue.” The exchange was posted to social media by Steven Chase, an investigative reporter with the Globe and Mail. Chase is a minor character...

Welp, just when Kevin McCarthy begins to score high marks among Republican lawmakers who opposed his bid for the Speakership, he does something stupid: the House Speaker on Thursday told CNBC’s Squawk Box that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis should “sit down and negotiate” with Disney and “solve the problem.”“The problem”? The governor of Florida, doing his best to force Disney to follow the same rules as other corporations in the Sunshine State, is a “problem,” Mr. Speaker? How so? Nonetheless, McCarthy opined:Why wouldn’t you sit down and negotiate and talk? If there’s [sic] differences, you can always find ways that...

The daughter of an ultranationalist Russian ideologue believed to have had a strong influence on Vladimir Putin has been killed in a car bomb on the outskirts of Moscow, according to multiple media reports. Darya Dugin, daughter of Russian political commentator Alexander Dugin – dubbed “Putin’s brain” – died when the Toyota Land Cruiser she was driving was ripped apart by a powerful explosion about 20km west of the capital at around 9.30pm local time. The blast occurred near the village of Bolshiye Vyazemy, according to Russian media sites Baza and 112, and state-owned Novaya Gazeta. Witnesses said debris was...

Former President Trump dismissed rumors of a feud with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is seen as a potential contender to become Republican’s 2024 presidential nominee, telling reporters on Wednesday that he has “ a very good relationship” with the Florida Republican. His comments come in the wake of a recent Axios report stating that Trump has privately told confidants the Florida Governor has a “dull personality” and would face an uphill climb in beating him in a primary. Recent surveys show DeSantis has recently seen an uptick in the polls in a hypothetical 2024 primary, tightening the margin between...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is seeking to end his running feud with President Trump, which escalated this weekend when the former president insulted him as a “dumb son of a bitch” and a “stone-cold loser” for not backing his false claims about the election. Trump’s comments were especially stinging as they were widely publicized and came one day after Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), gave Trump a “Champion of Freedom Award" at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

Sen. Joe Manchin took a jab at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s abilities as a lawmaker, describing her as “more active on Twitter than anything else,” amid their ongoing feud. Speaking to the New York Times, Manchin (D-WVa.) made the remarks while discussing his plans as a centrist in a divided government. Manchin specifically responded to AOC posting a photo to Twitter last month in which she could be seen staring daggers at the West Virginia senator as he looked away.

Megyn Kelly on Wednesday revisited her infamous feud with President Trump, discussing whether she’d change anything about how she handled the situation that led to months of attacks from the then-Republican presidential nominee. “Not one word,” the former Fox News anchor told the Daily Caller in a new interview. “I 100 percent stand by the question and by my tweets the other day,” she added referring to tweets from earlier this month addressing the public spat.

Dr. Scott Atlas, one of President Donald Trump’s chief coronavirus advisers, publicly attacked Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday — accusing the nation’s top infectious disease expert of being a “political animal” who adjusted his dire assessments of the pandemic after Election Day.The remarks from Atlas, who has earned the White House’s favor by downplaying the disease’s threat, came on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” after host Laura Ingraham contrasted comments Fauci made last month about a potential vaccine timeline with more optimistic comments he made earlier Tuesday. Of course, in the time between those two interviews by Fauci, drugmaker Pfizer announced that it had found...

Candace Owens isn’t interested in making friends. Instead, the 31-year-old conservative firebrand regularly finds herself in high-profile spats with public figures. Last week, for instance, she got into a social-media tussle with Cardi B, in which the rapper told the Trump-loving Owens, “You’re getting pimped out by white men.” “I love every second of this feud,” Owens told The Post of the bout, which erupted last Sunday when Owens criticized the rapper’s interview with Joe Biden for Elle magazine. “I was playing chess and she was playing checkers,” Owens said. She also accused Cardi B of being used by the...

Pop superstar left-wing activist Taylor Swift has been accused of whipping up her fan base in a calculated way that is endangering the employees of her old recording label, which is currently embroiled in a bitter feud with the singer. Big Machine Records said that it was attempting to privately resolve its ongoing dispute when the singer decided on Thursday to air her grievances to her millions of social media followers. What followed is a war of words that has escalated to dramatic effect in less than a day. “Despite our persistent efforts to find a private and mutually satisfactory...

Prince Harry and his renegade wife, Meghan, threw a tantrum and reportedly threatened to quit the Royal Family during a bitter confrontation with the Queen, insiders said. But if the pair were hoping the 93-year-old monarch would beg them to stay, they were flat-out wrong, RadarOnline.com has learned. “Her Majesty called their bluff. She told them that she was delighted with their decision and couldn’t wait for them to leave,” a high-level palace courtier told Radar. But that wasn’t the Queen’s only payback for the “divisive” couple, who committed the cardinal sin of dissing royal life in public. The source...

The Washington Post on Thursday announced that Stalin has wiped out all memories of his Secret Police chief, Yezhov. Oops! I mean the Democrats have deleted all their recent tweets about the big feud between Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrat leadership with the leftist Squad. This attempt to wipe out the recent past was announced by Mike DeBonis in "House Democrats move to tamp down internal feud, delete tweets that sparked infighting."

House Democrats and their aides are quickly losing patience with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her office's nonstop sparring with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other long-serving members, suggesting the speaker's dismissive comments toward her may represent the view of a growing section of the caucus.

President Donald Trump made a rare appearance at a church last Sunday. It’s a safe bet the sermon was not based on Proverbs 15:1—”A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” If it was, it didn’t appear to have much effect. Before and after church, the president engaged in a tweet storm that insulted several people, including the late Sen. John McCain. Trump accuses McCain of being complicit in the leak of the Steele dossier, a private intelligence report compiled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele for the political research firm Fusion GPS, which, among...

After more than a year of fighting FX and Ryan Murphy over her depiction in Feud, Olivia de Havilland has kept her word and is taking her case to the Supreme Court. “We must persevere and speak truth to power,” the 102-year-old two-time Oscar winner said Friday as her attorneys petitioned SCOTUS in the ongoing legal battle. “The fight is itself important to the principle of honesty, so much in need today in the face of deliberate public confusion for selfish agendas,” she added in a statement from her Paris home (read it in full here). Having suffered a number...

With Senator John McCain's recent passing, the Trump-McCain feud has heated up. It's really a manufactured kerfuffle, as one party is saying little, and the other party has departed from the living, no longer able to participate in the feud, except posthumously via the media. Leave it to the media to resurrect the controversy between the late senator and the U.S. president as a means of bashing President Trump, whom the media detest. It is also a distraction from the stock market breaking records left and right, a new and better trade deal with Mexico, a country that the media...

Olivia de Havilland has a real-life feud brewing with FX and Ryan Murphy. “Gone With the Wind” actress de Havilland has filed a lawsuit against the cable outlet and “Feud” producer Ryan Murphy, alleging that her identity was used without her authorization in the FX miniseries, according to court papers obtained by TheWrap. The suit, filed against FX Networks and Ryan Murphy Productions in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, also alleges that the 100-year-old actress, who was portrayed by Catherine Zeta-Jones in the miniseries, was placed in a false light. In a press release issued Friday, de Havilland’s lawyers...

If I were Elizabeth Warren, I would have to restrain myself to avoid responding in kind to an insult delivered by her own Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer. The Hill reports: Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is dismissing the GOP's efforts to make Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) the face of the Democratic Party. "It's not going to work," Schumer said of the strategy, according to Politico. The publication reported that Republicans are looking for someone to drive their conservative base to donate and turn out to vote. Politico quoted GOP strategists who said Warren is viewed negatively outside the coasts, adding that she could...
