On one channel, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. On the other, a rerun of Celebrity Deathmatch. Or, at least, that’s how it felt. After more than a week of inter-campaign sniping, furious Twitter denouncements, fretful consultations with public health experts, and a last-minute surprise scheduling coup, President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden squared off on dueling town hall stages—one on NBC, the other on ABC. In a matchup that was head-to-head rather than face-to-face, the two presidential contenders did less to paint their pictures of the America they hope to lead than they did exemplify the two sides of the […]
Mary Trump, the president’s niece whose tell-all book has roiled the Trump family, is suing the commander-in-chief and his siblings, accusing them of committing fraud in an attempt to deprive her of millions of dollars associated with the family’s real estate empire. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in a New York court and obtained by The Daily Beast, names Donald Trump, his federal judge sister Maryanne Trump Barry, and their late brother Robert Trump, in the alleged fraud and civil conspiracy. “For Donald J. Trump, his sister Maryanne, and their late brother Robert, fraud was not just the family business—it was a […]
Recent massive protests against racial discrimination and police brutality, which first swept the United States and then the whole world, have made companies re-evaluate their products. Several major companies, such as Unilever, L’Oreal, and Quaker, have already reviewed their products, removing anything that could be perceived as racist. The popular food brand Uncle Ben’s will get a new name and logo after facing accusations of racial stereotyping, said its owner, Mars Inc. “Over several weeks, we have listened to thousands of consumers, our own associates and other stakeholders from around the world. We understand the inequities that were associated with the […]
After a judge ruled that Mary Trump was free to speak openly about the revelations in her new best-selling book about her uncle Donald, Too Much and Never Enough, she has appeared on Good Morning America and The Daily Beast podcast The New Abnormal. On Wednesday night, she made her late-night television debut with Stephen Colbert. “Now before we get started, have you seen my show? Because I talk about your uncle a lot,” Colbert said. When she said yes, he asked, “Do you enjoy it? Are you OK with my show?” “I think it’s amazing, actually,” she replied. The appreciation […]
It was over 10 years ago that Nathaniel Nicco Annan, who goes by Nicco, first read early pages for the play Pussy Valley by Katori Hall, the 2015 debut of which he would go on to star in at the Mixed Blood Theater in Minneapolis. But it was only two weeks ago that Annan’s character, Uncle Clifford, made her fabulous screen debut in the groundbreaking drama series P-Valley, the adaptation of Hall’s play currently airing on Starz. She’s throwing a handsy patron out of her Dirty Delta strip club—a “shake junt,” as she calls it. A cop car’s red and blue […]
Tuesday’s White House press briefing was one of the most disturbing moments of Donald Trump’s slide into madness and desperation. As I write this, hours later, I keep thinking, “What in the actual fuck was that?” Like an addled necromancer with the heavy charnel stench of a dead campaign on him, Trump spent over an hour chanting the old incantations from an eldritch grimoire (The Dark Booke of Bannon, perhaps) only to find that nothing was working. Even his most devoted followers were eyeing the exits and wondering when some apprentice would step forward to lead him off gently off the […]
“It’s ridiculous—absurd allegations that have absolute no bearing in truth. Have yet to see the book, but it is a book of falsehoods,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said of Mary Trump’s memoir about her uncle Don the president, Too Much and Never Enough. Kayleigh didn’t need to read the book in order to dismiss it completely, which in itself might seem a bit ironic from the press secretary who promised not to lie to the American people and then proceeded to immediately lie to the American people. Obviously, Trumpworld is nervous about this memoir by the president’s niece. But […]
Amid the recent trend of tell-all books on US President Donald Trump, drawing anger and legal gambits by the president to block publications, his niece, Mary Trump, has struggled to avoid legal obstacles set up by members of the Trump family who are complaining about her upcoming tome. In an attempt to seek a legal path to publish Mary Trump’s forthcoming book “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man”, her lawyers now claim, cited by The Guardian, that reports regarding Trump’s tax affairs show that the non-disclosure agreement that the Trumps are using as […]
Amazon: In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald’s only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security, and social fabric. Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents’ large, imposing house in the heart of Queens, where Donald and his four siblings grew up. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and […]
Helen Buyniski is an American journalist and political commentator at RT. Follow her on Twitter @velocirapture23 B&G Foods has retired the black ‘chef’ mascot who once graced its Cream of Wheat packaging, the latest character to get the axe as corporations realize they can score easy social-justice points by axing images of nonwhite people. Announcing the packaging change in the kind of self-flagellating press release that has become familiar in recent weeks, B&G stated they were “initiating an immediate review of the Cream of Wheat brand packaging” because of “concerns regarding the Chef image.” The brand promised to “proactively take steps to […]
