The hosts of ABC’s “The View” weighed in on what seems to be an increasing probability that the 2024 presidential election will be a rematch of 2020’s Donald Trump versus Joe Biden‚ and what a potential debate between the two might look like. As they went around the table during Monday’s broadcast‚ the cohosts offered a series of suggestions regarding debates — ranging from cohost Sara Haines calling for Trump (but not Biden) to be censored in real time to Whoopi Goldberg wishing that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had kicked Trump in the crotch during their 2016 matchup.

Haines argued that unless the moderators had the ability to cut off the mics after a certain amount of time or in certain circumstances‚ Trump would run away with any debate because “he overtalks‚ gaslights‚ and everything else.” Goldberg responded‚ saying that she wished Clinton had taken the opportunity to kick Trump during one of the 2016 debates: “She should have kicked her foot backwards and hit him where it hurts.” Cohost Joy Behar admitted that the main concern‚ particularly after a number of more recent verbal fumbles on President Biden’s part‚ that he might not be up to the task. Haines admits that Biden has more to lose in a debate because people know he's not mentally fit:"Biden can lose‚ and he can lose in a debate. Trump will not…Biden makes one mistake and the people that are undecided are out." pic.twitter.com/4l9OQLybhC — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 19‚ 2024 Haines rounded out the discussion by suggesting that‚ in a debate scenario‚ Biden was the one who had the most to lose. She claimed that Trump’s base would likely vote for him no matter what happened on the debate stage — but that people who were unsure about Biden would not be convinced if he failed to deliver a strong performance. “Biden can lose‚ and he can lose in a debate. Trump will not … Biden makes one mistake and the people that are undecided are out‚” she said.

A high school girls basketball game ended in a forfeit at halftime after three girls suffered injuries in a match-up against a team that reportedly includes a male player who is six-feet tall and has facial hair. The coach of a Massachusetts high school team‚ Collegiate Charter School of Lowell‚ ended the game early against KIPP Academy after numerous injuries‚ a press release from the charter school says‚ alluding to the school’s commitment to “inclusivity and safety.” “The bench was already depleted going into the game with the 12-player roster having four players unable to play‚” the press release reads. “When the coach saw three more girls go down in the first half leaving him with five players‚ he made the call to end the game early.” “Once the third was injured‚ the remaining five expressed concern to him about continuing to play‚” it continues. “The players feared getting injured and not being able to compete in the playoffs.” The school added that it supports the coach’s decision to call the game‚ notably emphasizing its commitment to “inclusivity” and “equity.” “The Charter School supports this decision and reiterates its values of both inclusivity and safety for all students‚” the release adds. “We take the standards set by the MIAA and our Board of Trustees seriously and strive to uphold them on and off the court. We also follow the guidance from the MIAA and state laws regarding equity and access for all student-athletes.” Video allegedly taken from the game has been posted online‚ showing a tall male appearing to injure a female player from Collegiate Charter. “Trans-identified male player for Kipp Academy in MA injured 3 girls before half time causing Lowell Collegiate Charter School to forfeit‚” Riley Gaines‚ a top collegiate swimmer-turned-girls sports advocate‚ captioned the video. “A man hitting a woman used to be called domestic abuse. Now it’s called brave. Who watches this &; actually thinks this is ‘compassionate‚ kind‚ and inclusive’?” WATCH: Trans-identified male player for Kipp Academy in MA injured 3 girls before half time causing Lowell Collegiate Charter School to forfeit.

Last year‚ Gaines and others testified before Congress about the risks associated with male athletes being permitted to play on girls and women’s teams. “Not only do women have to worry about losing out on opportunities and being exploited in locker rooms‚ allowing men into women’s sports also puts girls at greater risk of injury‚” Gaines testified. “In September of last year‚ North Carolina volleyball player Payton McNabb suffered serious injury after a trans-identified male player spiked a ball at her head‚ rendering her unconscious. Payton experienced extensive trauma to her head and neck and long-term concussion symptoms. Still to this day‚ a year and three-ish months later‚ she is still partially paralyzed on her right side‚ her vision is impaired‚ and she isn’t playing college sports‚ like she had dreamed of.” The Biden administration’s Title IX rewrite is a direct attack on women’s rights.@Riley_Gaines_ has more courage than many of our elected officials‚ who let men compete in women’s sports and invade female-only spaces instead of standing up to pressure from left-wing activists. pic.twitter.com/muptQ768cn — Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) December 5‚ 2023 Related: Trans-Identifying Volleyball Players Take Over Women’s College Game: Reports

The commander of Germany’s military Space Command warned late last week that the purported nuclear weapon that Russia is considering developing for use in space would render space unusable‚ potentially forever. Speaking at an event at the Munich Security Conference‚ Major General Michael Traut weighed in on the recent revelation about the weapon by the U.S. last week. “If somebody dares to explode a nuclear weapon in high atmosphere or even space‚ this would be more or less the end of the usability of that global commons [of orbit]‚” said Traut. “Nobody would survive an action like that — no satellite‚ either Chinese or Russian and American or European. If somebody calculates rationally‚ nobody would employ such a weapon in space.” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH)‚ who drew public attention to the matter last week‚ said during an interview over the weekend that part of the reason that he decided to call attention to the classified issue was because he was concerned that the administration was trying to cover-up their inaction on the issue in the same way that they tried to with the Chinese spy balloon. Lt. Col. “Tony” Vincent‚ an active duty scientist in the United States Air Force (USAF) who is currently the Director of Advanced Physics Courses at the Air Force Academy‚ wrote in a September 2022 piece about the dangers that are posed by a nuclear weapon being detonated in space. Vincent highlighted what happened when the Atomic Energy Commission‚ in collaboration with the Defense Atomic Support Agency‚ detonated a nuclear weapon in low Earth orbit back in the Summer of 1962: The test was codenamed Starfish Prime and it revealed an unfortunate lesson: Even one high altitude nuclear detonation is particularly effective at destroying satellites. Not only were satellites in the line of sight destroyed‚ but even satellites on the other side of Earth were damaged and rendered inoperable. Starfish Prime damaged or destroyed roughly one third of all satellites in low Earth orbit at the time. Vincent said that commercial satellites need to become hardened against radiation to avoid being susceptible to a nuclear space weapon‚ but cautioned that while the cost to do so has fallen‚ “this practice historically drives the component price up by roughly factors of 10 to 100 while potentially increasing size and mass of the total payload.” He warned that there were two primary reasons that a country would want to use a nuclear weapon in space: to devastate America’s economy and/or to disrupt the U.S. Military’s space-based assets that it uses for command and control. “A nuclear explosion in space disproportionately hurts the United States as the largest single investor in space capabilities‚” he wrote. “The United States nets almost $200 billion per year of real gross output from its space assets. Even though military satellites are designed to withstand a harsher charged particle environment‚ radiation hardening is not a magic cloak of invincibility. Military space assets will be degraded over time from the artificially amped radiation belt created from the nuclear detonation‚ meanwhile commercial satellites in low Earth orbit will be the first to fail from continually passing through these particle hot spots. Most satellites with a line of sight to the nuclear detonation will be destroyed from the resulting x-rays. Military space capabilities for command and control along with reconnaissance assets may still function for a period following the detonation‚ but the economic impact of degraded informational space products will be immediate.” Vincent further wrote that the threat that a nuclear space weapon could be used is higher than what most people likely think because a nuclear detonation in space against infrastructure would not necessarily mean that the U.S. would respond with a nuclear strike against the aggressor: Once an adversarial nation with a disadvantage in space capabilities detonates a nuclear weapon in this domain‚ there is no benefit to respond with a similar attack. This act would further degrade space-based assets… The attacked nation‚ then‚ must consider responding with conventional or nuclear weapons on Earth. Targeting cities and military installations with nuclear weapons is not an in-kind response to the initial action of nuking space and represents another significant escalation in the conflict. Space assets are not on par with human lives. Further‚ the attacking nation will also have nuclear weapons in reserve‚ and with the right mix of forces can hold targets at risk. Therefore‚ the attacked nation would have to weigh escalating to nuclear weapons use‚ knowing that it would invite a nuclear response on targets in the homeland. The obvious response is to signal that the use of nuclear weapons in space would be treated as a nuclear attack on Earth‚ but an adversarial nation could consider such a threat non-credible. A nation may also be deterred from acting because every nation in the world is dependent upon space products to some degree. Therefore‚ using a nuclear weapon in space would be “self-harm.” However‚ as the history of war reveals‚ nations choose self-harm‚ such as when they collapse their own bridges and burn fields‚ to prevent an invader from gaining ground. Nuclear weapons are at the pinnacle of threat escalation‚ so the use of one is a sign of desperation with diminishing alternative options.

The new batch of American Idol contestants are proving to be extremely talented‚ especially Odell Bunton Jr.‚ whose soulful voice and story are moving fans to tears. Odell was featured as one of the most promising singers during the premiere of Season 22. But before stepping up to the microphone‚ he shared why he hopes to win this year’s competition. As he explained in his audition video‚ he knew he wanted to be a singer when he was only six years old‚ and he credits his mom for teaching him and his siblings the craft. YouTube Odell’s natural talents helped him excel quickly. He got his first taste of the stage in a church choir‚ and it wasn’t long before he was leading songs‚ praise‚ and worship. By 13‚ he started pursuing music professionally. “I knew—I knew—this is all I wanted to do‚” he said. “This is it.” YouTube Odell Bunton Jr. continued working towards his dreams until his oldest daughter was born 11 years ago. At that time‚ the new dad took a break to focus on his family. “I really just wanted to focus in on being the best father I could possibly be‚” he said. “My kids are definitely the most important things in my life right now. And the second most important thing is proving a great future for them.” As time went on‚ Odell had four more children with his wife‚ Shataniqua. So he locked in a stable job as an overnight security guard at the Austin International Airport. But he admitted that it’s hard to provide for five kids. Odell Bunton Jr. Hopes His Voice Will Give His Family a Better Life. Today‚ Odell and his family are living in a hotel. “I never thought I’d be in a situation like this‚” he said through tears. “Holding my head up‚ keeping it up‚ has been one of the toughest things I’ve ever experienced in my life.” Odell Bunton Jr. hopes his chance on American Idol will help him give his family a more stable life. YouTube “I want better for them‚” he shared. “They deserve it because they’re amazing kids. They encourage me.” Before Odell showed his talents‚ he admitted that the opportunity to audition “means everything.” Odell wowed judges Katy Perry‚ Luke Bryan‚ and Lionel Richie with a powerful rendition of Bring It On Home to Me by Sam Cooke and earned a golden ticket to Hollywood. “I was not expecting all of that‚” Lionel admitted. “… But that was real tight old-school.” Katy jumped in and said Odell is the best soul singer of the season‚ and the other two wholeheartedly agreed.
