Critics of President Donald Trump have piled on the first lady after discussions with a former aide were leaked, showing her venting frustration about her duties as FLOTUS, including decorating the White House for Christmas. Taped secretly in July 2018 by a former aide and close confidant, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, the recordings also show the first lady was increasingly irritated with hostile media coverage of her husband’s presidency, namely his border policies – which, among other things, separated migrant children from their parents when they entered the country illegally. “I’m working like – my ass off – on Christmas stuff, you […]
First Lady Melania Trump doesn’t much care for the holidays at the White House, according to a newly released recording of a private conversation. In a secretly taped July 2018 exchange shared by her former close friend Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, she said: “I’m working like—my ass off—on Christmas stuff, you know?

Wolkoff has written a book about her friendship with the First Lady and its abrupt ending, Melania and Me. President Trump’s Justice Department and […]

While speaking at an event held by media organisation Tortoise Pascal Soriot said that “it depends on how fast the regulator will review and give approval, so we could still have a vaccine by the end of this year or maybe early next year”. Mr Soriot added that more tests were required […]
Sometimes aspects of life become so royally fucked up, there comes a point when you say, “Eh, screw it, I’ll go along with this for a bit, let’s kick it up to another level.” This country loves the Fourth of July—maybe less at present from the standpoint of proud patriotism, especially with how we’ve been going for a few years now, but certainly because of good times with friends, beers, cookouts, laughs, camaraderie, in-person summer social manna, which for many people is quite different than a chat on the phone. The Twilight Zone has a marathon every year, which is apt […]
