Donald was subjected to widespread ridicule after apparently backing out of a with Vice President Kamala Harris.

The party's convention is next month. “I have agreed to the previously agreed upon...

The U.S. State Department on Thursday offered a $10 million bounty for “information leading to the identification or location” of a dangerous North Korean hacker known as Rim Jong-hyok. Federal prosecutors on Thursday indicted Rim for ransomware attacks against American hospitals. The State Department identified Rim as “a national of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) who is associated with a malicious cyber group known as Andariel.” “The Andariel group is controlled by the DPRK’s...

One day before anti-Israel protesters caused mayhem in Washington, D.C., burning an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he spoke to Congress, scrawling graffiti across federal property, and burning American flags, the National Park Service granted the organizing group a public gathering permit. The Washington Examiner obtained a copy of that permit in full from a Biden administration source — providing a key window into the planning of the...

The Department of Veterans Affairs is facing a nearly $15 billion combined budget shortfall this fiscal year and next, and congressional Republicans are crying foul at the last-minute notification about a funding crisis lawmakers have little time to try to fix. VA officials told lawmakers on July 15 that the agency needs $2.9 billion in mandatory spending for veterans pensions and other benefits to cover a gap for the remaining months of the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. And they need another...

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman ended their promotional journey for “Deadpool and Wolverine” truly in the spiciest way possible.The superhero duo appeared in the latest episode of “Hot Ones,” the internet’s favorite interview series where guests eat increasingly spicier hot wings while answering burning questions. And boy, torture never looked so good. At first, each held their own as they discussed how the movie actually began as a fake-out plan. “The original idea with this movie was to shoot a fake movie called 'Alpha Cop,' that was intentionally bad… It was about two guys that were sharing one brain and together they make the perfect cop…and the poster says ‘Alpha Cop: two cops, one brain, all balls,’” Reynolds explained to “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans. “And it was meant to be kind of like horrible. Like 10 people in America would go to see this movie on opening weekend and five minutes into the movie the Marvel logo would flip up and it would actually be ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’”There was also a chat about former jobs, where Jackman (already beginning to tear up from the heat) recalled being a clown-for-hire. “I literally rented a clown outfit…and we had no skills, literally no skills…I broke my rule and I did an 8-year-old’s party. I always knew they were going to find me out and he found me out and this kid yelled to his mom, ‘Mom, this clown is crap.' And I’m like ‘Shut up, kid.'”Then around the halfway point, hilarious chaos ensued. Though both suffered through the latter rounds, poor Jackman was clearly more victimized. Poor fella goes though all the stages of spice grief—tears, sweat, uncontrollable shimmies, delirious laughter…even bargaining. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman Go Claws Out While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones www.youtube.com "It tastes angry," Jackman said of the sixth hot sauce. "You know what I'm gonna eat? A bag of rusty razors that's what I'm gonna eat."Reynolds, on the other hand, was doing far better at keeping his cool. As well as his sarcasm. "Hugh has never felt physical pain so for him as a pampered starlet, this is important, an important rite of passage," he quipped. This dynamic was, undoubtedly, everybody’s favorite aspect of the interview. “The funniest part is watching Ryan provide deep, in-depth responses to Sean's questions and Hugh just fighting for his life in the background,” one viewer said. Another echoed, “Ryan cracking jokes and Hugh just fighting to survive is funnier than it has any right to be. This is one of my favorite ones to date.”Some else astutely wrote, “You know the friendship is real by how much they enjoy seeing each other suffer. Like brothers, really.”But of course, even though Reynolds and Jackman have projected animosity toward each other for laughs, underneath all those jabs is a true friendship. "Most of our conversations are very vulnerable,” Reynolds revealed. Jackman even praised Reynolds as a “great father, great family, great family, loves his job, loves his work.” He continued, “and I don't have anything -- apart from making me do this and he said if you don't I'm gonna just disparage you and make fun of you and tell all of Australia that you just didn't have the guts and Canada is better -- but apart from that, I have nothing. There's nothing [bad to say]."As Evans put it, they bravely “climbed the hot sauce mountain together,” and we love them all the more for it.
