Ana Navarro, a long-time co-host of The View, posted on her Instagram Thursday an old photo of nude Melania Trump as a way to troll her husband’s supporters, saying: “You wanna go low? ... I’ll happily go 20,000 leagues under the sea.”It was a picture from 2000 featured in British GQ, five years before Donald Trump married her.Navarro also included a picture of both Trumps partying with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, also from 2000. Her explanation for posting these images was that it wa
Barack and Michelle Obama have endorsed Kamala Harris for president, saying in a spot released by her campaign early Friday that they “couldn’t be prouder” to help propel her to victory.The 55-second ad sees Harris taking a call from the Obamas while seemingly walking backstage at a campaign event. Obama’s distinctive voice breaks in over the phone immediately: “Kamala!”After Michelle greets her as well, the video cuts to a title card—“The Obamas Call Kamala”—before shifting to show the vice pre
Israel has assassinated two dozen Hezbollah commanders in Lebanon since last fall amid an intelligence war employing cellphones, drones and fake rocks.
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff joined a Zoom call organized by the Jewish Democratic Council of America and Jewish Women for Kamala where he vowed that Harris would support Israel and ensure the country can defend itself.

Joe Biden said his achievements “merited” a second term in office as he addressed the nation for the first time since stepping back from the presidential race.
Andrew Torba, the founder of the far-right favorite social media site Gab, wrote in a blog post Wednesday that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man who attempted to take former President Donald Trump’s life at a campaign rally earlier this month, may have been a user of the site.“Today Gab learned that Thomas Crooks, the deranged Joe Biden supporter who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump, may have had an account on our platform,” Torba wrote in the post. “We are unable to confirm that the
Obama privately has fully supported Harris' candidacy and has been in regular contact with her, the report said, citing people familiar with the discussions. "Aides to Obama and Harris also have discussed arranging for the two of them to appear together on the campaign trail, though no date has been set," the report said. With no one stepping up to challenge Harris for the nomination, she won the backing of party delegates on Monday, a day after President Joe Biden announced that he was dropping his reelection bid.
Donald Trump baselessly claimed Kamala Harris is “totally against the Jewish people”—apparently either forgetting or ignoring the fact her husband is Jewish.Speaking at a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday night, the Republican nominee slammed his likely presidential election rival for skipping Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress earlier in the day. But Trump seemed completely oblivious to the existence of second gentleman Doug Emhoff,
