Months before Joe Biden stepped out of the presidential race, Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” predicted that would be the exact outcome. Bill Maher, despite claiming he likes Rubin, did not agree in the slightest. “This is a done deal,” Maher told Jillian Michaels in an interview on “Club Random with Bill Maher.” “There’s no serious people running against him and now the primary season is underway.” “The rumors that even Dave Rubin and Megyn Kelly are talking about, that when they get to the Democratic convention, he’s going to quietly be like, ‘Oh you know what, not going to do it,’ and then somebody will slot themselves in,” Michaels argued back. “This is pure conjecture. This is just people making s*** up,” Maher responded, while Michaels continued arguing that “respectable people in the news are suggesting it’s a possibility.” “I like both Megyn and Dave, they’re respectable,” Maher said. “These two have a lot of looney ideas also, right-wing looney ideas.” “This is something just something they pulled out of their a**, and it’s not going to happen,” he added. The old clip has Rubin understandably amused, as shortly after Biden quietly dropped out of the 2024 election. “Pulled it out of my a** man,” Rubin laughs.

Former President Donald Trump secured a free election promotion on NBC following complaints that the network attempted to give opponent Kamala Harris a boost with voters by featuring her on "Saturday Night Live." The network was accused of violating the Federal Communications Commission's "equal time" rule.Trump's advertisement aired on Sunday evening after NASCAR's Xfinity 500 and the NFL's Minnesota Vikings-Indianapolis Colts football game. 'Just remember, Kamala and her friends broke it.'The ad featured a "special message" from Trump to sports fans. "We're two days away from the most important election in the history of our country. We've got to save our country, and it needs saving — it's in very bad shape," Trump stated. "The worst economic numbers in generations were just announced two days ago. We're losing jobs; we're losing everything, including viability."Trump warned viewers that America is currently headed toward an economic depression. "We've never seen anything like it, at least for the last 40 years," he continued.Trump called for closing the borders, lowering taxes, and eliminating inflation. "Just remember, Kamala and her friends broke it," he added. "I'll fix it.""Go and vote," Trump concluded.The ad directed viewers to a webpage with a form to obtain voter location and registration information. NBC was forced to give Trump the free airtime after featuring Harris for a minute and a half in a cold open sketch for "SNL," the show's final episode before Election Day, Blaze News reported.FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr called the skit "a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC's Equal Time rule.""The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct - a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election," Carr continued. "Unless the broadcaster offered Equal Time to other qualifying campaigns."NBC filed an Equal Time notice with the FCC late Sunday after the pushback.Carr told Fox News Digital that the network's filing confirms that it "views the Harris 'SNL' appearance as a free use of their facilities and airwaves within the meaning of the federal Equal Time rule."Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital that Harris' cringeworthy sketch indicated her campaign is desperate to appeal to voters."Kamala Harris has nothing substantive to offer the American people, so that's why she's living out her warped fantasy cosplaying with her elitist friends on 'Saturday Night Leftists' as her campaign spirals down the drain into obscurity. For the last four years, Kamala's destructive policies have led to untold misery and hurt for all Americans. She broke it, and President Trump will fix it," Cheung told the news outlet.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Billionaire Elon Musk gave his 2024 election prediction and is expecting a "crushing defeat" for Vice President Kamala Harris. The Tesla CEO noted that independents voting for former President Donald Trump would sway the 2024 presidential election.Musk — a fervent supporter of Trump — made an observation about a difference between the 2020 election and the 2024 election that could swing the presidential election for Trump. Harris wasn't the only celebrity whom the SpaceX founder called a 'puppet.'"Last election, I didn’t know a single independent/swing voter who was voting for Trump," Musk wrote on his X social media platform on Monday. "This time, I don’t know anyone who isn’t."Musk pointed out that many Trump supporters are silent because of fear of repercussions. Musk added, "And one person after another has confided in me that they’re voting for Trump, but they’re afraid to say so publicly, because it will affect their friends/job/customers."Musk declared, "Crushing defeat is coming for the oppressive, big government machine represented by the Kamala puppet."Harris wasn't the only celebrity whom the SpaceX founder called a "puppet." On Saturday, Musk called rapper Cardi B a "puppet" for stumping for Harris. "Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words," Musk said of Cardi B. "The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy."Cardi B spoke in favor of Kamala at a Harris campaign event in Wisconsin on Friday. However, there was reportedly a teleprompter glitch, which caused the hip-hop star to be paralyzed. "One second guys, one second," Cardi B told the audience, according to Fox News. For nearly two minutes, the rapper attempted to work the crowd until a staffer brought a cell phone to Cardi B so she could regurgitate her speech.Cardi B lashed out at Musk for describing her as a "puppet." "I’m not a puppet Elon. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle," Cardi B wrote on X. As Blaze News reported last November, the "WAP" rapper proclaimed that she would not be endorsing presidential candidates any longer. Cardi B — whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar — slammed President Joe Biden for funding wars as American cities deteriorate."I don’t give a f***, I’m not endorsing no f***ing presidents no more," Cardi B stated. "Because how is that a $100 million budget cut in New York City for f***ing schools, library, police safety, and sanitation? Yet Joe Biden talking about like, ‘Yeah, we can fund two wars. We can fund two wars.' Motherf***ers talking about, ‘We don’t got it but we got it, like we’re the greatest nation.' No, the f*** we’re not. We’re going through some s**t right now.”Cardi B previously endorsed Biden during a softball interview less than three months before the 2020 presidential election.Musk donated more than $118 million to his America PAC that’s helping to elect Trump, according to federal filings.Like Blaze News?

Radio frequency (RF) and microwave power measurements are widely used to support applications across space, defense, and communication. These precise measurements enable engineers to accurately characterize waveforms, components, circuits, and systems.

If Earth's history were a calendar year, humans would not appear until the last few minutes before midnight on Dec. 31. During the Proterozoic Eon—2.5 billion years to 543 million years ago—the sun was still a young star, much dimmer than today, and Earth required a stronger greenhouse effect to compensate and maintain habitable temperatures for the planet's earliest lifeforms.
