Amazon is in early talks with Walt Disney about working on the streaming version of ESPN it is developing, while possibly also taking a minority stake in the sports network, the Information reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Disney and ESPN are still in the midst of determining an appropriate price for the new service, the report said. ESPN is considering charging between $20 and $35 a month for the new streaming service, which could make it the most expensive streaming service in the US, the report added. Amazon.com, Walt Disney and ESPN did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

Donald Trump has made history by becoming the first former president to pose for a mugshot after his arrest for trying to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia - and he shared the image on X, the platform formally known as Twitter.
The 77-year-old was arrested for the fourth time this year and fingerprinted by authorities at the Fulton County jail.
Unlike with his previous three arrests - in New York City, Miami and Washington DC - on Thursday in Atlanta he had his booking photo taken.

Former President Donald Trump surrendered himself into custody and was booked by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office on charges stemming from District Attorney Fani Willis’s indictment.
Trump announced Thursday morning he would surrender himself around 7:30 p.m. local time Thursday evening. Trump posted on Truth Social:

There has been a lot of speculation about the cause of the Maui fire, which has been called the worst wildfire in a century, with at least 115 dead and more than 1,000 still missing, including many children.
Democratic Gov. Josh Green immediately blamed global warming and then subsequently said climate change played a role.
However, there were witness accounts and videos that show the likely cause was fallen electrical lines and poles that ignited dry grass. Multiple lawsuits have already been filed against Hawaiian Electric. The company allegedly knew that there was a risk from fires for years but then didn't remediate the issues while they were undertaking a "state-mandated

Climate experts hosted a media call Wednesday to discuss the tragedy of the devastating Maui fire—and how government’s negligence and obsession with the “climate change” hoax created a situation ripe for disaster.
The call featured Gregory Wrightstone of the CO2 Coalition, H. Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute’s Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy , and Trump transition team member Steve Milloy of JunkScience. They discussed dishonest media, government negligence, climate change obsessions, and the Lahaina fire. Despite 50 years of failed predictions, climate alarmists are more blinded than ever.
The experts agreed that government accountability, starting with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, is necessary.

The Department of Justice is suing Elon Musk’s SpaceX for not hiring migrants before Americans — but is also ignoring many hiring managers who discriminate against Americans.
President Joe Biden’s deputies are “bullying employers who are trying to do the right thing — avoid hiring illegal workers — and are ignoring employers who are flagrantly discriminating against Americans,” said Jessica Vaughan, the policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies.
“They’re working harder to give illegal aliens access to jobs than they are to give to protect Americans’ access to jobs,” she said, adding,”This is entirely consistent with the approach of the Biden administration to tip the playing field

Former President Trump on Thursday posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, for the first time since January 2021 to share an image of his mugshot following his surrender in Fulton County, Ga., on Thursday evening.
It was the first time Trump posted on the social media platform since his account was suspended shortly after the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol. Trump was known during his 2016 campaign and his first term in the White House for using Twitter prolifically to share everything from jabs at his political opponents and to announcing major decisions out of the White House.

As Donald Trump was being booked and processed for a fourth time on a fourth indictment, this time in Georgia, old social media posts of DA Fani Willis emerged. What they contained provided a view into the rabid partisan nature and hypocrisy of the prosecutor now trying to put the former president behind bars.
Specifically, multiple posts show Willis spreading conspiracy theories about Georgia's elections. She even went so far as to claim there were "water leaks" during the 2020 election counting in Fulton County, suggesting that ballots were being thrown out.

During CNN’s live coverage of Trump’s motorcade to the Fulton County, Georgia jail for the former President’s arraignment on Erin Burnett OutFront, fill-in anchor Kaitlan Collins and correspondent Sara Murray fretted that Trump would use his new mugshot “to his political advantage” and fundraise off the photo to help his presidential campaign.
“Trump himself has been not downplaying this. I mean, he is certainly seeing how he uses these exact moments to his political advantage,” Collins kvetched.
Murray then jumped in to agree that Trump “uses these for fundraising, he uses these to rally his base.” Due to this, she openly regretted the plan to release Trump’s mugshot.

Former President Donald Trump was booked in the Fulton County jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday on felony charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. This is Trump's fourth indictment this year, but it's the first time he's had his mugshot taken. Fulton County authorities are taking mugshots of all 19 people charged in the case, including Trump's lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, and his former chief of staff Mark Meadows. The Fulton County Sheriff’s office released Trump's mugshot not long after he left the jail. The former president was released on a $200,000 bond.

COLUMBIA, S.C.— The first Republican presidential debate provided an opportunity for candidates to make their cases directly to a national audience, and some of that attention is translating into fundraising boosts.
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has taken in $450,000 since Wednesday night’s debate, with an average donation of $38, campaign spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Ramaswamy, a political newcomer who occupied center stage in the absence of current GOP front-runner Donald Trump, scored several memorable moments during the debate, criticizing some rivals as “super PAC puppets” who were using “ready-made, preprepared slogans” to attack him.

Some 20 minutes into the fiery and heated debate, Ramaswamy slammed his opponents, asserting he is the “only person on the stage who isn’t bought and paid for.”
Christie took offense and spoke over the Fox News moderators, Bret Baier and Martha McCallum, to declare he had “had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like Chat GPT standing up here,”

When Congress returns next month, it has little alternative but to launch a long-discussed impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. For House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the case for an inquiry came from a most unlikely source: Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The debacle in the Hunter Biden investigation has left most objective legal analysts in disbelief, with one CNN analyst calling it an "unholy mess."
Even before the collapse of a widely condemned "sweetheart deal" with Hunter, the investigation headed by U.S. Attorney David Weiss was a growing concern for many observers.

Washington — Former President Donald Trump surrendered Thursday at the Fulton County jail, where he was booked on 13 felony counts related to an alleged scheme to overturn the results of the presidential election in Georgia.
His surrender in Georgia marks the fourth time this year the former president has turned himself in after criminal charges were brought against him by federal and state officials. But it's the first time he was subjected to a mug shot, which is expected to soon be made public. It's also routine for defendants in Fulton County to be fingerprinted and have their eyes scanned for biometric identification.

As President Joe Biden continues to slide in the polls, Democrat insiders are allegedly working to convince a former first lady to throw her hat in the ring.
Sources reportedly told RadarOnline that the desperation is building up behind the scenes, with some “begging” Michelle Obama to consider running for the Oval Office. Their efforts are bolstered by a recent poll that shows an announcement by the wife of former President Barack Obama would immediately put her in a hefty lead above the incumbent president.
The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll results indicate that Democrat voters favor Biden when paired up against long-shot candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson,

The original BRICS economic alliance between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa has expanded today. During the summit held in South Africa, the group which is home to about 40% of the world’s population and a quarter of global gross domestic product, voted to accept the applications of Iran, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Ethiopia. What we see forming now is further evidence of the great energy cleaving. As most western nations chase the World Economic Forum’s priority around ‘climate change’, the BRICS alliance hedges for more traditional energy sources (oil, natural gas, coal).

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Wednesday the new BA.2.86 lineage of coronavirus may be more capable than older variants in causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received vaccines.
CDC said it was too soon to know whether this might cause more severe illness compared with previous variants.
But due to the high number of mutations detected in this lineage, there were concerns about its impact on immunity from vaccines and previous infections, the agency said. Scientists are keeping an eye on the BA.2.86 lineage because it has 36 mutations that distinguish it from the currently-dominant XBB.1.5 variant.

There will never be a full accounting of COVID-19 aid fraud in the United States. Part of the reason is that no one in government really wants to know. The fact that the supposed guardians of the public purse got away with such incredible incompetence with few, if any, federal employees losing their jobs is criminal.The best guess regarding losses of taxpayer money to fraud is $300 billion and rising. There’s at least another $125 billion that budget watchdogs considered “wasted.” Whose heads are rolling?
Not Julie Su, the former head of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency whose department doled out $180 billion in unemployment claims during the pandemic.

As flames tore through a West Maui neighborhood, car after car of fleeing residents headed for the only paved road out of town in a desperate race for safety.
And car after car was turned back toward the rapidly spreading wildfire by a barricade blocking access to Highway 30.
One family swerved around the barricade and was safe in a nearby town 48 minutes later, another drove their four-wheel-drive car down a dirt road to escape. One man took a dirt road uphill, climbing above the fire and watching as Lahaina burned. He later picked his way through the flames, smoke and rubble to pull survivors to safety.

Black voters propelled Joe Biden to the Democratic nomination in 2020, but after the dust settled from his general election victory over Donald Trump, members of the party acknowledged that the president needed to do more to shore up support among this core constituency.
As Biden prepares to ask voters for four more years in office, a spate of new polls indicates the problem may have intensified. Biden’s 2020 margin among Black voters was smaller than for any other Democratic presidential nominee over the past two decades, and the latest data suggests that support has eroded since the election.

Last night finally gave us an answer to the big question of 2023: What happens when Republicans have a debate without Donald Trump? Answer: They find other issues to discuss — and for one night, with one exception, manage to offer answers from their own experience rather than engage in petty insults and prepared attack lines.
The one exception? Vivek Ramaswamy, who attempted to steal Donald Trump’s act and spend the evening insulting everyone else on stage. At some point, many expected the other seven candidates to go after the Not-Trump lane leader Ron DeSantis, but instead the only real infighting involved Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, Mike Pence,

Former President Donald Trump has replaced his top Georgia lawyer ahead of his surrender Thursday evening, sources tell CNN.
In replacing Drew Findling with Steven Sadow, an Atlanta-based attorney whose website profile describes him as a “special counsel for white collar and high-profile defense,” Trump is adding an attorney who has previously challenged the state’s broad RICO law, under which Trump and his 18 co-defendants have been charged. Sadow filed paperwork Thursday morning to formally represent the former president in the case.
A Trump source indicated that this was not about Findling’s performance, while another familiar with Sadow called him the “best criminal defense attorney in Georgia.”

Who won the first GOP presidential debate of the cycle? That's obviously going to depend on who you ask and to be sure, many had their talking points ready to go before the event even started. Sometimes, those talking points have to be reshuffled in the aftermath, though, and that offers a clue as to who actually did pretty darn well. For example, before the debate, there was a general consensus among the pro-Trump wing of the party that Vivek Ramaswamy would rhetorically dominate and deliver an embarrassing takedown of Ron DeSantis. Instead, the young rookie found himself on the defensive amidst several major stumbles, including plagiarizing Barack Obama

Rep. Jim Jordan launched a new probe into the Georgia district attorney who indicted Donald Trump over election interference and accused her of profiting off the criminal case.
'It is noteworthy that just four days before this indictment, you launched a new campaign fundraising website that highlighted your investigation into President Trump,' the Judiciary Committee chairman wrote in a letter to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The Democratic district attorney is up for re-election in 2024. Her campaign website does not directly highlight her indictment of Trump. It touts her work to fight gang violence, keep young people out of the criminal justice system and anti-corruption efforts.

The Democrats have an ace in the hole in their relentless war on the Constitution – conservative America’s reverence for the concept of the rule of the law.
Only their steadfast commitment to this traditional ideal explains why conservatives are allowing Democrats to flagrantly corrupt our judicial system to destroy their opponents and protect themselves. For all their huffing and puffing, conservatives have effectively taken a let the system play itself out attitude while Democrats nakedly politicize that system through their partisan indictments of former President Trump and their Potemkin Village probes of the Bidens. These are not statements of opinion. These are facts.

A bit differently from my colleague, Andrea Widburg, I enjoyed the presidential debate.
I found it intelligent, lively, not too destructively argumentive, and well-controlled in content. Bret Baier and Martha McCallum at Fox News did a terrific job of moderating, urging candidates to get their points across within the time so that they could cover all the topics. Right on.
And they called out candidates who were not answering the questions, which was another point in their favor.
All the candidates had their moments, all displayed certain strengths.

In the wake of the Republican presidential debate, it's pretty obvious President Trump will in the end, win the nomination.
I propose a political dream team, which could campaign for President Trump, and indirectly, for their proposed positions in the Trump administration.
The objective here will be to expand Trump’s voter base and mobilize middle class/working class Republicans, prime the general election for crossover Democrats, and bring in independent voters into an overwhelming political force to take back our country.
It is impossible for the GOP to compete against the election fraud machine mastered by the Democrats, with its effectiveness dramatically accelerated by pandemic election law changes orchestrated by them.

At this point in time, no one is surprised when another wave of bad headlines about Prince Andrew hit the newsstands and the web.
So, when it arises that ‘King Charles is concerned that more information will come to light connecting Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein’, we think it’s just another day in fair old United Kingdom.
However, come to think of it, in light of the fact that no new disclosure has come to light recently – although there is an ongoing TV series on Andrew’s scandal – one is left wondering WHY the spin doctors from Buckingham palace would be volunteering this information to the press?

I caught three-fourths of last nights GOP debate. Here are my observations:
* It was a good night for the Republican Party. The candidates generally did well, there were enough sharp exchanges to make it interesting, and the candidates collectively were saying what most Americans want to hear.
* The person who stood out the most, for better or worse, was Vivek Ramaswamy. Quite a few young people think he was the star of the show. I thought some of his answers were over the top, and he was so hopped up that a couple of times, I wondered seriously whether he might be on drugs. In future performances,

Donald Trump's interview with Tucker Carlson reached over 150 million viewers early Thursday morning, giving his bid to steal the spotlight from Fox News' Republican presidential debate a huge boost and earning praise from the ex-president - who calls it a 'BLOCKBUSTER.'
The former president's 45-minute sit-down on X, formerly known as Twitter, aired as his GOP rivals bickered on stage in a crucial night for the 2024 White House race.
The viewing figures are almost certain to eclipse the number of Americans who tuned into Fox to watch Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy and the rest of the GOP field go to battle to try and close the gap with the frontrunner.

Ghoulish scold John Kerry, the White House’s climate hobgoblin, has repeatedly warned that the world is not on track to contain a 1.5-degree Celsius increase in global temperature above the pre-industrial level, and this means disaster is looming. Others have made the same point, and the media just goes along for the ride. Their predictions are worthless, though. We know this because the United Nations told us so.
The rock-solid, undeniable fact is that it’s impossible to make long-term climate predictions, because our climate is ever changing and volatile. It says so in the Third Assessment Report from the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change:

The decision stated that the college had been receiving complaints about Peterson’s remarks since 2018. Those included formal complaints and those aired via Twitter. Many of the issues were regarding race, transgenderism, overpopulation, and COVID-19.

On August 17, Vivek Ramaswamy was interviewed by Tucker Carlson. At the very beginning, Ramaswamy spoke candidly about 9/11: “I didn’t suggest it. I explicitly said that the government absolutely lied to us. The 9/11 Commission lied. The FBI lied to us.”
After dropping that bombshell, Ramaswamy went on to describe a scenario that he says “doesn’t make much sense on the face of it.” He explained how a 42-year-old Saudi Arabian graduate student went to Los Angeles International Airport and, while there, met up with two Saudi nationals who went on to hijack a plane on 9/11, which they then crashed into the Pentagon.

We’re truly living in a Philip K. Dick world. A world in which we’re expected to believe, with the strength of conviction, synthetic constructs without a single grain of truth to them while rejecting and reviling obvious straightforward concepts about the world and its workings that have been accepted since the days of the Serengeti.
This is a world in which one of the rarest personality disorders in existence balloons overnight from a few dozen to nearly a million “victims,” victims whose suffering can be alleviated only by unceasing brutality, viciousness, and insult directed at young women.

The eight Republican presidential hopefuls who participated in Wednesday night’s spirited, and at times unruly debate, went after one another over their ages and qualifications, and their positions on a federal abortion ban and on increasing aid to Ukraine.
They debated whether America has a national identity crisis, whether they would authorize lethal force at the southern border, and whether climate change is a “hoax.”
But the eight candidates were generally loath to delve too deep into one critical subject — the subject that Fox New moderator Bret Baier called the “elephant not in the room”— Donald Trump, the former president who is crushing them all

The interview of former President Donald Trump by Tucker Carlson, which was recorded prior to the August 23 Republican presidential candidates debate but debuted on X (formerly Twitter) at the same time as the debate, covered several topics of interest to all politically-minded people regardless of their thoughts concerning Trump. The interview started with Trump explaining that he felt no need to attend the debate due to his significant lead in the polls. He added there were people there who, in his opinion, did not belong there, mentioning Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie by name. He said Christie had asked him for a job in his administration,

A recent report has cast doubt on the authenticity of Elon Musk’s 153 million followers on Twitter, now rebranded as X. According to researchers, 42 percent of Musk’s followers have zero followers of their own, and 25 percent created their accounts since his October 2022 acquisition of the platform.
According to a recent report from Mashable, new data raises questions about the authenticity and engagement levels of Elon Musk’s massive Twitter/X following, which now exceeds 153 million users on the recently renamed platform. Musk has been a towering figure on social media since long before his acquisition of Twitter in October 2022. However, recent data suggests that the numbers

During the first Republican primary debate Wednesday, Governor DeSantis blasted former vice president Pence for the Trump administration’s record of supporting lockdowns and ushering in invasive public-health mandates during Covid.
“Why are we in this mess?” DeSantis said in response to sparring between Pence and Vivek Ramaswamy on the cause of the runaway federal spending of the last few years.
“Part of it, and a major reason, is how this federal government handled Covid-19 by locking down this economy,” he said. “It was a mistake. It should have never happened. And in Florida, we led the country out of lockdown, kept our state free and open. As your president,
