What I Saw at Trump's Great American State Fair

The opening weekend of the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., was, to put it simply, miserable. It was extremely muggy, with rain pouring down seemingly every hour. A child rolled around in the grass, crying and screaming, "I. WANT. TO. GO. HOME!!!" Creed's "Higher" blared over the loudspeakers, and a sparse crowd milled about the various exhibitions. The bare bones setup-flimsy, fake two-dimensional columns that looked like something Wile E. Coyote would run into while chasing The Road Runner-left much to be desired, as America's 250th anniversary was celebrated with kitsch and...

Trump ally has meltdown over Katy Perry declining MAGA party performance

Pop star Katy Perry turned down an invite to perform at President Donald Trump's America250 celebrations in Brussels — and his MAGA ally had a public meltdown over the snub, The Daily Beast reported on Monday.Ambassador Bill White lashed out at Perry after she declined to appear at the MAGA event at Cinquantenaire Park in Belgium, which featured performances from Zac Brown Band and Alexis Wilkins — FBI Director Kash Patel's girlfriend — at the invite-only celebration. The singer was already scheduled to headline Belgium’s Werchter Boutique festival that weekend, which ended up getting canceled due to bad weather."So we were gonna have Katy Perry. Who cares?" White told the crowd. "Karma is a b----. You know the joke? She was gonna perform last night. She got rained out."White said in February that he knew Perry had a contract for the festival that same weekend in Belgium. Despite that, he said organizers would still try to get her to perform."Her contractual obligations prohibit her from talking about other events in Belgium until that concert is sold out," White told The Bulletin, a Belgian news outlet. "So maybe she will come the next evening, maybe not."

'Which staffer misled you?' Irked GOP senator calls out Trump as key MAGA priority stalls

A Republican senator stepped up to correct President Donald Trump after he became confused over the bill that he has said is the "No. 1 priority."Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) posted the correction on X on Monday after Trump called him out directly as one of five Republican senators blocking the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, Trump's top election-overhaul bill."all Dumocrats, and our five Republican Senate Hold Outs, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, Bill Cassidy, and Mitch McConnell must vote to SAVE OUR COUNTRY," Trump posted on Truth Social after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against him on mail-in ballots."Mr. President, I don't know which version of the SAVE America Act you're referring to, but I am a cosponsor and support the latest version," Cassidy fired back on X."I don't know which staffer misled you, but thank you for your attention to this matter!!""Btw, it's irresponsible to postpone signing the Housing bill due to the SAVE Act," Cassidy added. "We need to start delivering relief to people for the high cost of housing ASAP!!"Trump had told House Republicans in March that passing the SAVE America Act was the "No. 1 priority" for Congress and vowed he would "not sign anything" until it passed — including a bipartisan housing bill already on his desk.That housing bill remains unsigned.
