In another rare public appearance for former First Lady Melania Trump, who appears to have been staying at the family’s New York City residence in Trump Tower in the weeks following the former president’s shocking conviction on all 34 felony counts brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, stunned with her tasteful and beautiful outfit. As background, Melania has not been very present during this election cycle, with Trump saying that she is more of a private person but will do what she can to help the country success. Talking about her private nature and willingness to eschew it for the good of the country, he said,  “It’s funny, she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person. She’s going to be out a lot. Not because she likes doing it, but she likes the results.” Continuing, he added, “She wants to see this country really succeed. She loves the country.” Continuing, Trump re-emphasized Melania’s essentially private nature compared to other First Ladies. He said, “You know, a lot of first ladies would go out — they want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them.” He then continued, “If I… CONTINUE READING…

A luxury Parisian hotel was forced to apologize to Serena Williams and her family after the retired American tennis player was reportedly denied entry to the hotel’s rooftop restaurant. “Yikes @peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first,” Williams wrote on X Monday. Williams, 42, has been in Paris with her husband Alexis Ohanian, and their two daughters Olympia, 6, and Adira, 10 months, since the start of the 2024 Olympics. The four-time Olympic gold medalist was involved in this year’s Olympic torch relay as the torch made its way from the Seine to the Olympic Cauldron. During her segment, she was joined by Rafael Nadal, Carl Lewis, and Nadia Comăneci. Following more than a week of games, Williams attempted to dine at the rooftop restaurant of the Peninsula Paris, a five-star hotel whose restaurant offers a view of the Eiffel Tower. However, when she arrived, Williams claimed she and her family were denied entry despite what she called an “empty restaurant.” As many fans reached out to show their support, so did the Peninsula Paris. “Dear Mrs. Williams, Please accept our deepest apologies for the disappointment you… CONTINUE READING…

Congresswoman and “Squad” member Cori Bush lost big in her primary race on the evening of Tuesday, August 6. Polling from the eve of the election and well before was correct in showing that St. Louis County prosecutor Wesley Bell, a marginally more moderate candidate who had the backing of pro-Israel groups, would blow her out of the water. So, voters in the far-left 1st Congressional District of Missouri voted to unseat her in what appears to be a rebuke of the Squad’s farthest left stances, particularly on Israel. In that respect, it is similar to Rep. Jamal Bowman’s brutal loss in New York, a loss that saw the American Israeli political action committee pour money into his opponent’s race. Victor Wesley Bell released a statement after his victory had been called. In the version of it posted to X (formerly Twitter), the statement began by saying, “Tonight, Wesley Bell defeated incumbent Rep. Cori Bush to win the Democratic primary for Congress for Missouri’s 1st Congressional District.” The statement then quoted Bell as thanking all those who voted and volunteered for him, saying, “I am deeply honored and humbled by the trust the people of this district have placed in me. This victory belongs to every… CONTINUE READING…
