“The View” host Sara Haines admitted during a recent broadcast that she had actively hidden Donald Trump’s presidency from her children — a feat that she said was made all the more difficult by the fact that they were just learning about presidents and what they did. Haines explained Tuesday on the ABC midday talk show that she had even gone as far as policing what her kids could see on the news‚ refusing to allow her children to watch updates if former President Trump was to be the subject. She avoided any mention of the presidency at all until after President Joe Biden won in November of 2020. WATCH: Sara Haines says she didn't tell her kids who the president was it was Trump."I literally had to hide news for four years while Donald Trump was in. Because as they're learning what a president of the United States is‚ I didn't want to say‚ 'yeah and that's him right there.'" pic.twitter.com/bWQhRbGVRJ — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) January 30‚ 2024 “Do you know what my child can’t watch? News‚” Haines said. “When you turn it on — I literally had to hide news for four years while Donald Trump was in. Because as they’re learning what a President of the United States is‚ I didn’t want to say‚ ‘Yeah‚ and that’s him right there.'” “So I couldn’t even announce the president until Biden and Vice President Harris won‚” she continued. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Haines shares the table at ABC’s “The View” with several women who fall right in line with that perspective — first and foremost being longtime regular host Whoopi Goldberg‚ who refuses to even say Donald Trump’s name aloud on the air. Instead‚ she refers to him in the Harry-Potter-esque terminology: “You Know Who.” Cohost Sunny Hostin rarely mentions Trump without referring to him as the “twice-impeached” president. And newest cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin — who worked in the Trump administration but quit shortly after the 2020 presidential election — has suggested that despite identifying as a Republican‚ she would consider voting for a Democrat if it meant she had an opportunity to vote against Trump.

Journalist and podcast host Megyn Kelly on Monday laid out her issues with the steep $83 million fine former President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay in the defamation case of writer E. Jean Carroll‚ along with the media’s coverage of the case. Kelly suggested Carroll might actually be the “wack job” Trump says she is and that the former president didn’t assault her‚ as Carroll claims. In that case‚ Trump should be permitted to call her a liar and defend himself. “Let’s just entertain for a minute that Trump is the truth-teller‚ here‚” Kelly said‚ “that Trump actually has no memory of this person‚ and certainly didn’t sexually assault her‚ and that she really is some sort of a kook who decided to make up a story about him to get her name in the headlines‚ to potentially get money from a deep-pocketed guy.” She continued‚ “The media has zero appetite for entertaining that possibility.” “She’s a wack job! What’s he supposed to say?” Kelly added‚ while noting that Carroll is going on mainstream airwaves and bashing Trump without consequence. Kelly emphasized that Trump was never criminally convicted for an assault against Carroll‚ but a civil jury decided it was more likely than not that Trump assaulted her. “She couldn’t even remember when it happened‚” Kelly said of the Trump accuser. “She didn’t have a police report; she didn’t have a medical report; she had nothing other than two friends who said‚ ‘yeah she mentioned it at the time.'” Kelly also highlighted that the 30-year gap between the alleged assault and the accusation makes it nearly impossible for Trump‚ or any person for that matter‚ to defend themselves. In one example‚ the journalist explained how difficult it would be to place your whereabouts some 30 years after the fact. Journalist Glenn Greenwald joined Kelly on the episode and lamented the “weaponization of the judicial system.” Some of the judges in the multiple cases against the former president are “just so unabashedly anti-Trump‚” he said. “There’s an attempt to destroy political enemies and one of those weapons is the judicial system.” Megyn Kelly‚ not Donald Trump’s biggest fan‚ has major issues with the defamation lawsuit verdict. pic.twitter.com/WF3JfpcHbk — Big Fish (@BigFish3000) January 30‚ 2024 Trump has maintained that he never assaulted Carroll and didn’t know her. Throughout the trial‚ he published social media posts criticizing the writer. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP In one instance‚ he posted a viral video of Carroll speaking to CNN anchor Anderson Cooper about rape being largely viewed as a “fantasy.” Cooper looks visibly uncomfortable during the exchange and cuts to break. “Can you believe I have to defend myself against this woman’s fake story?” Trump captioned the video. Trump shares the E Jean Carroll clip where she told Anderson Cooper that people "think rape is sexy."

Montana’s Republican governor said Monday that his state followed state law in a case where a trans-identifying teenager was removed from her parents. A Montana couple accused the state of “kidnapping” their teenage daughter after she began identifying as a boy‚ Reduxx reported Monday. Krista and Todd Kolstad said their 14-year-old daughter was removed from their custody and sent to a Wyoming facility‚ where they were unable to contact her directly. 🚨🚨🚨SCOOP The state of Montana has kidnapped a teenage girl from her parents to transition her gender in another state‚ subverting Montana's laws against gender transition for minors. A friend of the family reached out to @GabsClark5 and @AffirmReal for help because a… pic.twitter.com/imUbcFqHat — Karlyn Borysenko‚ the modern day Yuri Bezmenov (@DrKarlynB) January 25‚ 2024 The problems allegedly began in August when the parents got a call that their daughter had expressed suicidal ideations at school. That night‚ a Montana Child and Family Services case worker showed up at their door‚ Reduxx reported. During the case worker’s visit‚ the teen claimed to have ingested painkillers and toilet bowl cleaner to try to kill herself. This led to a hospital visit‚ where her bloodwork showed no evidence of those toxins. However‚ hospital workers noted in paperwork that the teen identified as “male” and wanted to be called “Leo.” Her parents objected‚ but hospital staff told the parents to “respect” their daughter’s new identity‚ they said. Eventually‚ the state removed the teen from her parents’ custody and moved her to a facility in Wyoming‚ the parents said. Police showed up at their home to serve them with custody papers‚ saying the reason was that the teen’s parents were “unable or refusing to provide medical care‚” which her mother said is “just not true.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The parents said they were not allowed to communicate directly with their daughter while she was in Wyoming. In September‚ the teen was returned to Montana and now lives in a group home. However‚ earlier this month‚ Child and Family Services said it planned to place the teen in the care of her birth mother in Canada‚ who has not been a part of the teen’s life‚ and whose children have made allegations of physical abuse against her‚ according to the parents. “Our family has been destroyed by this. We have little to no contact with Jennifer and our rights as her parents have been trampled on‚” Krista told Reduxx. The couple defied a judge’s order to remain silent on the case. “We will continue to fight. We will never give up on our daughter and for what we believe is morally right. We will continue to tell our story‚ even though we are currently in contempt of court‚ and try to keep other families from going through this. Our greatest fear is that our daughter is now going to become a victim of this system and eventually take her own life‚” she said. To give them their best shot at reaching their full potential‚ children deserve to grow up in happy‚ healthy homes with loving families. Sadly‚ this ideal is not always realized. 1/8 — Governor Greg Gianforte (@GovGianforte) January 29‚ 2024 On Monday‚ Montana Governor Greg Gianforte‚ a Republican‚ said the state had reviewed the case and concluded that state policy and law was followed. “To give them their best shot at reaching their full potential‚ children deserve to grow up in happy‚ healthy homes with loving families. Sadly‚ this ideal is not always realized‚” Gianforte posted on X. “Unfortunately‚ our society finds children whose life‚ health‚ and wellbeing are at serious risk from abuse and neglect‚ and only as a last resort‚ should they be removed from their home.” Gianforte said he asked Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras (R)‚ an “experienced attorney‚ constitutional conservative‚ mother‚ and grandmother‚” to review the child welfare case. The lieutenant governor personally examined case documents and consulted with the director of Montana’s Department of Public Health and Human Services. She concluded that the department and the court “have followed state policy and law in their handling of this tragic case‚” Gianforte said. “I have asked the lieutenant governor to continue monitoring the case as it progresses‚” the governor added.

We all go through difficult times in life. That’s the case right now for this man in Macomb County. It’s why‚ while driving‚ he chose to pull over.

A nature photographer has dedicated countless hours to filming sharks and studying their reproduction. No newborn great white sharks have ever been caught on camera — until maybe‚ now. Carlos Guana has poured his life’s work as a wildlife photographer into videotaping and photographing sharks. Now‚ he may have answered one of the greatest shark mysteries of all time. @jeff_offshore_fishing Extremely rare footage of a newborn Great White shark. #2024 #fishingtiktoks #fishing #sealife #marinebiology #viral #fishingtiktoks #fyp #wildanimals #baby #babyshark #sharkweek #shark ♬ Solas X Interstellar – Gabriel Albuquerqüe This video‚ made by Carlos‚ explains that female sharks gather annually. Many are pregnant when they come‚ but few are pregnant when they leave. He caught a video of a shark moving into the deep sea and‚ some time later‚ a white shark emerged from the depths that had never been seen before. Carlos believes this may be a newborn great white shark. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Carlos Gauna (@themalibuartist) Now‚ the research process takes a long time. In his thoughtful Instagram caption‚ Carlos explained that there are two hypotheses. “One‚ that it is in fact a newborn white shark‚ and two‚ that it may be a shark with a skin condition.” Now‚ Carlos is working with PhD candidate Phillip Sternes to craft a peer-reviewed paper on his potential baby great white shark findings. Good luck‚ Carlos! Thanks for sharing your discoveries with the world. This image is from TikTok. The featured image for this post is from TikTok.
