When asked if it was wrong for Chinese leadership to be placing pressure on the NBA, Trump quickly turned his focus to Kerr and Popovich. “I watch this guy, Steve Kerr, and he was like a little boy,” Trump said. “He was so scared to be even answering the question. He couldn’t answer the question. He was shaking. ‘Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know.’ He didn’t know how to answer the question, and yet, he’ll talk about the United States very badly....

Trump said stimulus checks should be $2,000 per person and $4,000 per couple. The president released this video on Twitter around 7:30 p.m. Monday. Trump has also asked Congress to “get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items” and to send him a “suitable bill.” “Throughout the summer, Democrats cruelly blocked COVID relief legislation in an effort to advance their their extreme, left-wing agenda, and influence the election,” Trump said....

Hicks, who resigned as White House Communications Director in March 2018, comes up in an excerpt of New York Times TV critic James Poniewozik’s book Audience of One: Donald Trump, Television, and the Fracturing of America, set to be released on Tuesday. In the excerpt, published by Vanity Fair on Wednesday, Poniewozik references journalist Michael Wolff’s account of Trump in his 2018 book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House....

“According to Facebook’s ad archive, Trump has run around 2,200 FB ads since May 2018 mentioning the word ‘invasion.’ Scrolling through, all of them seem to be about immigration,” Natalie Martinez, an extremism & social media researcher for Media Matters, a progressive media watchdog, tweeted on Sunday, alongside screenshots of the president’s advertisements. “We have an INVASION! So we are BUILDING THE WALL to STOP IT! Dems will sue us....

The ex-president is appearing with the former Fox News host in four events dubbed “The History Tour.” They kicked off at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, on Saturday, before heading to Orlando’s Amway Center on Sunday. The tour will continue at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, on December 18, with the closing event held at the American Airlines Center in Dallas the following day. But according to the Ticketmaster website, hundreds of tickets remain available for the remaining two dates of the tour with just days to go....

The $25 shirts reading “Where’s Hunter?” are part of the campaign pushed by the commander-in-chief to insist that Trump has not acted inappropriately–and that Joe Biden, not Trump, should be investigated for his conduct while representing the country. As vice president, Joe Biden pushed for the dismissal of a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into Burisma, a Cyprus-registered natural gas company. Hunter Biden was a board member of Burisma who earned $50,000 per month....

Ryan, who currently serves as a U.S. congressman for Ohio’s 13th District, is set to face off against Republican J.D. Vance, an author and venture capitalist, on Tuesday in one of the most closely watched Senate races of the midterms. Despite Ohio shifting toward Republicans in recent election cycles, Ryan has managed to keep his GOP opponent in a tight race. He has sought to appeal to voters who backed former President Donald Trump in 2020 by highlighting times he has bucked the more liberal faction of the Democratic Party....

“They’ve never actually had that hustle,” Trump Jr. told House Speaker Kevin McCarthy during a Thursday episode of his “Triggered” podcast. “I understand where I come from and my background—I get it. But my father made sure I worked minimum wage jobs….I also worked for tips, which is something that’s really important that everybody should understand.” Celebrity Net Worth estimates that the eldest Trump son has a net worth of $350 million, with the bulk of that money coming from his salary as executive vice president at the Trump Organization....

During a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, Trump followed his well-worn script in casting doubt on Biden’s mental agility, telling his supporters that a decline with age was inevitable for everyone. “Joe is shot, OK, whether you like it or not. We can all be nice, it’s going to be my turn some day. It’s even going to be your turn some day, my friends,” Trump said on Wednesday, “but you know when it is your turn, you can’t be president....

Trump boasted that he had purchased “billions and billions of dollars” worth of vaccine doses in advance while serving as president and gently urged his followers to take the vaccine during a Wednesday interview on Newsmax TV’s Greg Kelly Tonight. The former president said that the vaccine had prevented the COVID-19 pandemic death toll, which currently stands at over 4.3 million worldwide, from matching the even worse toll of up to 100 million people who died during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 to 1920....

Green only recently parted ways with Zverev for undisclosed reasons, and Dominic Thiem has since roped him into his own team with the help of his management agency Kosmos. Green’s addition to Thiem’s team comes at a great time for the Austrian. The Brit is known to be a hard taskmaster and could be the right man to guide the 27-year-old back to top physical shape as he continues his recovery from a wrist injury....

The injury forced him to withdraw from Wimbledon, the Tokyo Olympics, and Masters 1000 events in Toronto and Cincinnati. His participation at the US Open, where he is the defending champion, is also in doubt. In a recent interview with tennisnet.com, the 27-year-old’s coach and father Wolfgang Thiem spoke about the Austrian’s recovery. According to Wolfgang, Dominic Thiem returned to training a few weeks ago and is motivated to start playing competitive tennis once again....

Earlier today, the Twitter account for the Domino’s Pizza UK branch posted an image questioning the potential of next-generation graphics by pixelating half a pizza, with very pointed text using the Halo: Infinite hashtag that says, “Don’t worry Chief, Domino’s always delivers.” The company’s Malaysian branch has drawn attention on social media as of late by using pizza to make fun of Sony’s PlayStation 5 reveal and posting other video game references, so it seems other facets of Domino’s are following suit....

To cite just two examples, a recent headline in The New Republic claimed “Women Wouldn’t Lose Their Right To Choose If We Elected Presidents By Popular Vote” while an article in The American Prospect stated that “four of the five justices who’ve signed on to the Roe repeal were appointed by Republican presidents who received fewer popular votes than their Democratic opponents.” While Save Our States, the leading organization in the country defending the Electoral College, does not take a position on Roe and whether it should have been upheld or overruled, we do have thoughts on the irrational and simplistic idea that the Electoral College’s existence and operation is what led to the recent decision....

While both teams have moved on from the February blockbuster, Simmons has yet to play against his old team at Wells Fargo Center, and the Aussie is expecting plenty of noise from the Philly faithful. “Come on now, I know what’s coming. It’s a part of the game,” Simmons said ahead of the matchup. “One thing about Philly fans [is] they’re incredible. They’re die-hard Philly — everything Philly, whatever it is....

Nagatoro overhears it as she approaches the clubroom and gets pretty excited. After the president leaves, she bursts into the room and catches Senpai off guard, then strikes up a bit of small talk, waiting for him to ask and acting completely aloof to the situation. As Senpai nervously ponders inviting Nagatoro to the zoo, he gets nervous. Then, he thinks back to the festival, when she told him if he wants to spend time with someone, then to just invite them somewhere, and it steels his resolve....

In a head-to-head with the former secretary of state ahead of the 2016 presidential election, President Trump said the effect of stop-and-frisk had been “tremendous beyond belief” under former New York City Mayor Bloomberg. It was also widely reported during the race that the New York real estate mogul said he would implement or support stop-and-frisk as commander-in-chief. MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber re-broadcast a clip of Trump’s defense of stop-and-frisk last night as Bloomberg faced criticism for his justification of the policy at a 2015 talk....

Trump appeared alongside first lady Melania Trump at the White House to offer a pardon to this year’s turkeys, “Butter,” and alternate “Bread,” for the tradition which dates back to Abraham Lincoln saving a turkey at the request of his son, Tad. Trump noted that former President George H.W. Bush made the pardon an official event before taking a few jocular swipes at Democratic congressman Adam Schiff and the ongoing impeachment inquiry....

“If I don’t win, I don’t win. We’ll go on and do other things,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News that aired Friday afternoon. Trump, who still has hotel, golf and other businesses throughout the country, didn’t elaborate on what his post-White House plans would include if he loses. He’s currently spending the weekend at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden said this week that his “single greatest concern” is that Trump will “try to steal this election” and Biden is “absolutely convinced” the military would have to force Trump from the White House if he loses the election but won’t leave....
