Charlamagne tha God‚ co-host of “The Breakfast Club” syndicated radio show‚ said on Sunday that President Joe Biden was an “uninspiring candidate” and that Democrats should lean more on Vice President Kamala Harris for the upcoming election. Charlamagne tha God‚ whose real name is Lenard McKelvey‚ made the remarks during an interview on ABC News’s “This Week” with Jonathan Karl. McKelvey‚ who is on the political Left‚ took numerous shots at Republicans throughout the discussion‚ saying that “the crooks are the Republicans” and that former President Donald Trump was a threat to democracy. When asked why Biden’s messaging was not resonating with voters‚ McKelvey said the president was “just an uninspiring candidate‚ there’s nothing about Joe Biden that makes you want to listen to him.” “That’s why he should be leaning on his vice president‚ Kamala Harris‚ who is way more charismatic than him‚” he continued. “He should be leaning on other surrogates like [California Governor] Gavin Newsom or [Governor Josh] Shapiro in Pennsylvania.” McKelvey said Biden should be “the brains of the operation behind the scenes” because he “has no main character energy at all. None.” When asked if age had anything to do with Biden’s problem‚ McKelvey said: “I don’t think it has anything to do with age‚ I think it has just everything to do with him. Like Donald Trump is four years‚ three years younger than President Biden. But he just comes off a lot more youthful. He comes off‚ you know‚ like he has a lot more energy. And I always say this about him. Donald Trump seems more sincere about his lies than Joe Biden does about his truth.” Charlamagne tha God tells @JonKarl that Joe Biden is an “uninspiring candidate" who has "no main character energy." “That's why he should be leaning on his vice president‚ Kamala Harris‚ who is way more charismatic than him.” https://t.co/YKqlOPjZTV pic.twitter.com/71aPpQpuLj — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) February 18‚ 2024 McKelvey said that one reason that some voters are not taking what he claims would be a dangerous Trump second term seriously is because the political Left has always demonized all Republicans to the point where no one takes the claims seriously anymore. “And the other problem is they’ve always done this with every single Republican candidate‚ since I’ve been alive‚ whoever the Republican presidential candidate has been‚ they’ve demonized‚” he said. “It doesn’t matter who it is‚ it doesn’t matter if it’s John McCain‚ doesn’t matter if it was Mitt Romney‚ it doesn’t matter who it is. They will demonize the Republican candidate. And now that there’s an actual legitimate threat right there in our faces‚ they’re like‚ they’re like the party who cried wolf. Nobody believes them.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Charlamagne Tha God laments on ABC: “Whoever the Republican presidential candidate has been gets demonized….and now that there’s an actual legitimate threat right there in our faces‚ they’re like the party who cried wolf.

Most teachers probably don’t love being pranked by their students‚ but the “fake fight” trend online is one exception! There are countless videos on TikTok that show kids pulling off this hilarious and heartwarming practical joke. It starts with students forming a crowd around what appears to be a fight‚ yelling and egging each other on. However‚ as soon as the teacher steps in to intervene‚ she gets a pleasant surprise instead! In most of these videos‚ the crowd parts to reveal that they were really hiding a big bouquet. Usually‚ there’s also an explosion of celebratory confetti. Teachers have various responses to the “fake fight” trend‚ but almost all of them look touched to receive flowers. @skyline_kit # #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #nigeria #fypã‚·ã‚šviral #goviral ♬ original sound – skyline_real Many of these videos show teachers moved to tears when they see their beautiful bouquets.

NFL legend Joe Montana may have scored a lot of points for his team‚ but one of his gameday rituals scored even more points with his wife! The former quarterback shared a hilarious story about how he started phoning his partner from the sidelines of the stadium just to say‚ “I love you.” While it initially began as a joke‚ the athlete started making the same call whenever he had a free moment during later games. We think this couple’s little tradition is too cute! Apparently‚ it all started with a moment of curiosity while the quarterback was waiting to get back into the game. While on the sidelines‚ he decided to find out if the provided phones would support outside calls. Whiskey Riff tells us that those lines were usually reserved for emergencies or to speak with colleagues elsewhere in the stadium. However‚ Joe Montana wanted to see what would happen if he called his wife. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NFL on ESPN (@espnnfl) When he got through‚ Jennifer Montana was perplexed to hear her husband’s voice on the other line. He adorably told her that he was just calling to tell her he loved her. From then on‚ Joe Montana started calling his wife from every stadium. Screengrab from Instagram One commenter noted that this story should motivate men everywhere to step it up! “If Joe Montana can call from a stadium sideline phone in the middle of a full blown game‚ you can text back‚” they wrote. What a sweet way for this pro athlete to let his partner know he was thinking of her! Joe Montana seems to genuinely adore his wife. We love to see a doting husband!

There are very few bands in heavy metal as influential as Iron Maiden. To many people‚ they are THE band that springs to mind when the genre is mentioned due to their melodic style of guitar playing‚ epic songwriting‚ Bruce Dickinson’s powerful voice‚ and their mascot‚ the undead skeleton Eddie. One of Britain’s finest metal exports‚ all of the biggest bands to have come out after them owe them a debt‚ from Metallica to Cradle of Filth all the way up to the modern stars of the genre such as Slipknot and Trivium.

State Dept Investigation of Biden's Iran Envoy Broadens Into Probe of His Suspension

Eight years ago this week‚ as the nation mourned the loss of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia‚ left-wing pundits unleashed an appalling storm of hateful comments about the longtime conservative jurist‚ slashing him as “regressive‚” “cruel” and “reprehensible.” Then when GOP Leader Mitch McConnell announced that the Senate would not vote on a replacement for Scalia until after the 2016 election‚ the liberal media hissed that it was‚ as the New York Times framed it‚ “another attempt to deny the legitimacy of the country’s first black President.” Scalia‚ who won the support of every Senate Democrat when he was unanimously confirmed in 1986‚ died on February 13‚ 2016. The nastiness began immediately. “So if the news about Scalia is true‚ how long do we have to wait until we can openly not be sad about it?” quickly tweeted Rolling Stone’s David Ehrlich. “Wish I could be a fly on the wall for Scalia’s chat with the Devil‚” The New Yorker’s managing editor Silvia Killingsworth hooted on Twitter that same night. On that night’s CBS Evening News‚ correspondent Jim Axelrod targeted Scalia’s “rigid conservatism‚” and his “caustic attacks on liberal notions.” The next morning‚ an editorial in the New York Times snarled: “From abortion rights to marriage equality and desegregation‚ Justice Scalia opposed much of the social and political progress of the late 20th century and this one.” The Washington Post’s banner headline focused on the feelings of lefty snowflakes: “Supreme Court Conservative Dismayed Liberals.” (Four years later‚ after the death of liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg‚ a very different Post headline celebrated:  “A Pioneer Devoted to Equality.”) “Sometimes it seemed he worked overtime to earn your hate‚” Slate’s Dahlia Lithwick sneered in a February 14 article. “He wrote cruel‚ demeaning things about whole groups of Americans.... As reprehensible as so many of his views were‚ we will be wrestling with him for decades to come.” On MSNBC‚ correspondent Irin Carmon told host Ari Melber that Scalia was “somebody whose jurisprudence certainly left out in the cold‚ as you say‚ many historically-oppressed people.” Over at the Washington Monthly‚ David Atkins derided Scalia: “Particularly toward the end of his career he simply became a reliable tool of retrograde social conservative orthodoxy and corporate power....” The Guardian’s Jessica Valenti hissed that Scalia had “crafted a legacy that was decidedly regressive and anti-woman.” Those tuning in to ABC’s The View heard co-host Michelle Collins promulgate the ludicrous idea that Scalia might have been murdered: “People love a conspiracy theory....My whole thing was‚ you know it wasn’t a Republican that killed him because he would have been riddled with bullet holes. You know what I’m saying?” The bashing continued well past Scalia’s February 20 funeral. “So‚ look‚ you’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead‚” HBO Real Time host Bill Maher began on his February 26 program‚ “[but] Antonin Scalia was put on Earth to remind poor people that the law is not your friend....This idea that he was a brilliant mind — he was just another old white Republican guy living in the bubble.” Writing in the February 29 edition of The New Yorker‚ Jeffrey Toobin was just as dismissive: “[Scalia] devoted his professional life to making the United States a less fair‚ less tolerant‚ and less admirable democracy....Scalia represents a perfect model for everything that President Obama should avoid in a successor.” Liberals like Toobin may have salivated at the idea of a new Justice dismembering Scalia’s accomplishments‚ but GOP leader Mitch McConnell swiftly announced Senate consideration of a new nominee would wait until after the election. Predictably‚ the media screamed “racism.” “In a nation built on slavery‚ white men propose denying the first black president his Constitutional right to name Supreme Court nominee‚” the New York Times’s Brent Staples tweeted on February 14. “By saying he will block a Supreme Court nominee who has not even been named‚ Mr. McConnell is headed toward partisan warfare‚” reporter Jennifer Steinhauer claimed in the February 15 New York Times. Appearing that day on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports‚ Chris Matthews blasted McConnell’s announcement as “almost indecent....It was like a Dickensian scene in A Christmas Carol when Scrooge‚ or somebody’s‚ died‚ dead‚ and they come rushing in to take the sheets off the bed before he’s dead.” “The conservative base has never accepted that a black Democrat could be a legitimately elected President‚ and after 7 years of having to live with a President the majority of white voters voted against‚ Republicans are going to use this [Scalia’s replacement] as a chance to throw a nationwide temper tantrum‚” Salon.com’s Amanda Marcotte wrote in a February 15 post. The Washington Monthly’s Martin Longman went even lower: “Truthfully‚ the Republicans don’t want the President’s Kenyan paws on Scalia’s high seat.” “After years of watching political opponents question the President’s birthplace and his faith‚ and hearing a member of Congress shout ‘You lie!’ at him from the House floor‚ some African Americans saw the move by Senate Republicans as another attempt to deny the legitimacy of the country’s first black President‚” the Times’s Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin argued in a February 18 front-page story. The harshest assault came from TV’s late night comics. TBS’s Samantha Bee seethed at McConnell: “What better way to honor America’s greatest champion of original intent than by wiping your obstructionist ass on the very document he holds so dear....Let’s just have a Supreme Court vacancy for a year because some chinless dildo wants a justice who will use his gavel to plug up your abortion hole.” As for Scalia himself‚ he had sensibly suggested in 2012 that a liberal successor would not be preferred. “I would not like to be replaced by someone who immediately sets about undoing everything that I’ve tried to do for 25 years‚ 26 years.” But of course it was the liberal media’s utter disdain for Scalia and his judicial record that had them yearning for an Obama-appointed replacement — and explained their venom when they failed to get one.

By now it's a familiar scene: a group of seven men walked into a a clothing retailer Thursday wearing face coverings and robbed the place blind in broad daylight‚ walking out with armloads of merchandise while the store was still open. But this wasn't San Francisco or Los Angeles‚ it was in Memphis last week‚ and the retailer says this was one of more than 60 similar incidents to happen in the last year in their Memphis area stores alone. According to WREG-TV‚ police released surveillance video of the alleged shoplifting gang who walked out of a local City Gear store carrying armloads of pilfered merchandise. Police say‚ after reviewing the footage‚ that at least seven individuals participated in the organized theft. Neither police‚ nor City Gear's parent corporation Hibbett have released an exact dollar amount of the merchandise that was stolen‚ but it was described as a "large amount." Mark Gunn‚ the senior vice president and chief human resources officer of Hibbett City Gear‚ told WREG last year that the problem in Memphis was "a bit unusual‚" but that the company remains committed to keeping their stores open in the Memphis area‚ at least for now. Hibbett did not respond to a request for comment about the most recent theft. The extent of so-called "organized retail theft" is a hotly debated topic. While many retailers have warned about what they see as a rise in these incidents‚ others have disputed its prevalence and claimed that only about 5 percent of overall retail theft is done by these gangs. One thing is for certain: this particular group has thus far been successful at evading capture by the police. Anyone with information about the group or who recognizes any of the suspects is asked to contact CrimeStoppers at (901)528-CASH.
