The 27-year-old Houston, Texas native, who has already won two gold medals in Paris, replied to an X post shared by singer Ricky Davila. "Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job," Davila wrote on Thursday. In response, Biles' X post on Friday morning said, "I love my black job."

VILLEPINTE, France — Boxer Imane Khelif of Algeria clinched a medal at the Paris Olympics in an emotional fight Saturday that followed days of sharp scrutiny and online abuse as misconceptions about her gender exploded into a larger clash about identity in sports. Khelif defeated Anna Luca Hamori of Hungary 5:0 in the quarterfinals of the women’s 66-kilogram division. Khelif will win at least a bronze medal after she comfortably earned the second victory of her tumultuous second trip to the Olympics. Khelif faced outcry fueled by claims from the International Boxing Association, which has been banned from the Olympics
Pennsylvania Governor and potential vice presidential nominee Josh Shapiro tries to distance himself from a recently uncovered op-ed he wrote in college in which he identified as a former volunteer in the IDF and argued that the Palestinians are too “battle-minded” to pursue peace with Israel. “While he was in high school, Josh Shapiro was required to do a service project, which he and several classmates completed through a program that took them to a kibbutz in Israel where he worked on a farm and at a fishery,” Shapiro’s spokesperson Manuel Bonder tells The Times of Israel. “The program also

MAGA mockery 15 replies
The way Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz tells it, the stakes of the coming presidential election are both astronomically high and strikingly simple. On one side, the former high school teacher and congressman says, is Vice President Kamala Harris – a serious, competent and experienced candidate whom he believes is aligned with Americans’ best interests. (Snip) Walz was, again, a swirl of acid and honey during his remark on Monday night to the “White Dudes for Harris” Zoom fundraiser. This time out, though, he also sounded every bit the former high school football coach, first asking supporters to “keep hammering on''

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper issued a statement on Monday night signaling that he's removed himself from contention as a vice presidential running mate for presidential candidate Kamala Harris. "I strongly support Vice President Harris' campaign for President. I know she's going to win and I was honored to be considered for this role. This just wasn't the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket," he said in a post on X. (Snip) Moments after Cooper issued his statement, he delivered remarks on a “White Dudes for Harris" Zoom call, but did
When Vice President Kamala Harris became the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination following President Joe Biden’s dramatic exit from the race on Sunday, the next question was: Who will she select as her running mate? A Harris campaign official told USA TODAY on Thursday that the Vice President is searching for a running mate who has “shared values of fighting for the middle class, protecting democracy and freedoms, treating people with respect and dignity, and creating an America where everyone gets a fair shot,” as she prepares to square off against the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump and

Drivers report being stranded for hours on the 15 Freeway - which snakes from Los Angeles to Las Vegas - after a truck hauling industrial lithium-ion batteries caught fire. Officials shut down northbound lanes after the fire was first reported by the county's fire department near Baker around 6 a.m. Friday. Firefighters said they struggled to contain the truck's fire because of its lithium-ion batteries and were unable to contain the harmful chemicals and fumes. "Due to the lithium-ion, water cannot be added to the fire, the batteries must burn out on their own," the San Bernardino County Fire Department said. "Lithium-ion

WASHINGTON — The Democratic Party plans to push forward with a virtual roll call in which delegates to its convention can choose a presidential nominee before they meet in person next month in Chicago, with Vice President Kamala Harris heavily favored now that President Joe Biden has abandoned his reelection bid. (Snip) The proposal does not list a date for when the virtual roll call begins, but Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison said the process will be completed by Aug. 7. “We can and will be both fast and fair as we execute this nomination,” Harrison on a conference
An exclusive new Free Press poll of likely Michigan voters shows former President Donald Trump has taken a notable 7-percentage-point lead over incumbent President Joe Biden in the state, a result certain to further worry Democrats already pushing for Biden to abandon his reelection bid. "It's only going to add to the pressure on Biden to step aside and have someone replace him," said Bernie Porn, the pollster for EPIC-MRA in Lansing, which conducted the survey of 600 voters for the Free Press and its media partners. "The Democrats are in a difficult position." The poll showed Trump, who held
President Joe Biden feels personally hurt and betrayed by the way so many Democrats, including some of the party’s top leaders, have left him hung out to dry as he faces the biggest crisis of his political career, according to two sources familiar with his thinking.
And privately, many of those leaders have expressed doubts about his path forward. Former President Barack Obama’s only public comment came the day after Biden’s disastrous debate last month, when he tweeted “Bad debate nights happen“ and talked about his former vice president’s virtues. Privately, however, Obama has concerns. Bill and Hillary Clinton have
A photo of an unmasked President Joe Biden in front of reporters after news broke of his COVID-19 diagnosis went viral on social media on Wednesday evening. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Wednesday evening that earlier today, Biden tested positive for COVID-19 after a campaign event in Las Vegas. Minutes after Jean-Pierre's statement was released, CNN White House and politics reporter DJ Judd shared a photo of Biden on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote: "An unmasked President Joe Biden flashes a thumbs up to reporters on the tarmac before boarding Air Force One moments after the

PARIS — The president of the International Olympic Committee has reaffirmed that two boxers competing in the Olympics are women, and have lived and competed as such for their entire lives. Thomas Bach also criticized the boxing federation which suspended both women, and called online harassment of Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Chinese Taipei’s Lin Yu-ting “totally unacceptable.”
Khelif and Lin are at the center of a controversy that has enveloped these Olympics over the past few days, ever since Italian boxer Angela Carini abandoned her bout against Khelif just 46 seconds into their match.

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff acknowledged on Saturday that he had an extramarital affair during his first marriage after the Daily Mail published a report alleging that he impregnated a nanny, CNN reported.
Emhoff admitted that he had an affair while married to his first wife, Kerstin, in a statement provided to CNN, though he did not specifically address who his mistress was. The Daily Mail story alleged that Emhoff was sleeping with a teacher at his then-young daughter’s school who also worked for the family as a nanny, and that the relationship allegedly resulted in a pregnancy.
Kamala Harris’s husband’s first marriage ended after he got his children’s nanny pregnant, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff cheated on his first wife Kerstin with the blonde nanny, who also taught at their children’s pricey private school.
The woman, Najen Naylor, 47, did not deny the story when approached by DailyMail.com at her home in the New York millionaires’ playground, The Hamptons.
She would not comment, except to say, ‘I’m kind of freaked out right now.'
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she thinks President Biden should be added to Mount Rushmore during an interview with CBS News aired on Sunday.
"He was in a good place," she said about Biden. "Top of his game. Such a consequential president of the United States. A Mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States."
"You've got Teddy Roosevelt up there -- and he's wonderful. I'm not saying take him down, but you can add Biden," Pelosi said. Pelosi also denied making any calls to force Biden from power: "He knows that I love him very much."
Donald Trump announced late Friday night that he has accepted an offer from Fox News to debate Kamala Harris in September.
The former president said in a Truth Social post the debate would be held in Pennsylvania on Sept. 4 and hosted by Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
Harris has wanted Trump to stick to the scheduled Sept. 10 debate on ABC News which was originally slated to be a showdown between Trump and President Biden.
The ex-president had previously agreed to the ABC News debate. But following Harris’ ascension to Democratic nominee for president after Biden dropped out of the race,
Less than a year after Judicial Watch reported that the Taliban has established fake nonprofits to steal millions of dollars in U.S. aid to Afghanistan, a new investigation reveals that the terrorist group has also received hundreds of millions in development assistance from Uncle Sam because the State Department fails to properly vet award recipients. At least $239 million have likely filled the coffers of the extremists running the Islamic republic since the 2021 U.S. military withdraw, according to a report published this month by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). The money was disbursed by State Department
A packed roster of Hollywood comedians will hold a virtual fundraiser for Kamala Harris next week, the latest effort by entertainment industry elites to stuff Kamala’s coffers with hard cash.
Ben Stiller, Jason Bateman, Patton Oswalt, Kathy Griffin, and longtime Trump nemesis Rosie O’Donnell are set to make an appearance on the Zoom call, which is set for Monday at 8 p.m. ET, according to a Deadline report.

A group of Black men at a barbershop in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, voiced their skepticism on Kamala’s racial identity.
This comes as Harris has frequently identified as Indian-American throughout her political career and even during her campaign for vice president. (X's Videos) President Donald Trump recently took the stage at the National Association of Black Journalists conference, where he didn’t hold back on addressing questions surrounding Harris’s shifting racial identity.
During a heated exchange with ABC’s nasty and rude reporter Rachel Scott, Trump responded,
As we reported, former President Donald Trump agreed to a presidential debate on Fox, moderated by Bret Baier and Martha McCallum in Pennsylvania. After agreeing to go on CNN, this time, Trump set some terms of his own with Kamala Harris, specifying an audience--something that thQuite frankly, he's gracious to give them any debate at all, given the machinations they've pulled, shoving Joe Biden to the side. As Trump noted in his statement about the debate, what the Democrats did here is the "real threat to democracy."But now comes the response from Harris:
Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Vice President Kamala Harris was “not close” to beating former President Donald Trump in November.
Guest host Michael Steele said, “I want to touch on a little bit of the noise he made earlier this week, which I personally appreciated and wanted to make sure people understood what I thought of what you said, when you caution folks. All the exuberance and all the excitement we are seeing right now in the campaign is good, it’s healthy, it is important, particularly given the campaign for Joe Biden was. Your point is don’t let that exuberance cloud

Kyle Rittenhouse, the conservative campaigner who shot two men during a Black Lives Matter protest nearly four years ago, flip-flopped this week on whether he would be voting for Former President Donald Trump in the November election.
Rittenhouse, 21, took to X on Thursday, to declare his intentions to instead write in former Libertarian presidential nominee Ron Paul, who is not running for president.
“Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors making him bad on the Second Amendment and that is my issue,” said Rittenhouse. “If you cannot be completely uncompromisable on the Second Amendment I will not vote for you.”
