76ers, post Jaylen Brown addition, strong contender in LeBron James sweepstakes
Right
Ever since LeBron James informed the Los Angeles Lakers that he would be signing elsewhere in free agency this offseason, one of the biggest stories in basketball has been which team he’ll sign and end his legendary NBA career with. The Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers are thought to be the two favorites....
LeBron James’ tenure with the Lakers is over after he informed the NBA franchise he’d spent the past eight seasons with that he’ll sign elsewhere in free agency. While both sides have shown each other nothing but respect since James’ decision went public, it is clear that his and the Lakers’ relationship wasn’t perfect. If...
James Carville confessed he's rethinking his most famous phrase because of a new threat posed by Trump.During an episode of Politics War Room, Carville revisited his 1992 quote, "It's the economy, stupid," which he coined during the Bill Clinton campaign to hammer home what issue mattered the most. However, Carville said he now regrets the phrase because the economy doesn't matter anymore in the face of Trump's corruption."I now have come to detest the fact I said that," Carville said. "I listen to people say, 'People don't care about corruption. They care about the economy. As long as their incomes are up, they really don't care what [Trump] does.'"Carville took another look at his quote amid new revelations about how Trump is profiting from deals, like those related to his crypto ventures and foreign mining. Carville explained that he's "afraid" he sold the economy as the top political priority so well that Trump's corruption is being overlooked."When I said it in 1992, you can say what you want about George H.W. Bush," who was running for reelection that year, "he was not corrupt, okay? He was not a corrupt man at all," Carville said.The corruption under Trump is "breathtaking" and "staggering," though, Carville said, adding, "I want to punch him in the f— face." However, people keep turning their attention to the economy."People say, 'Yeah, you know, you're right, that's all people care about is the economy,'" Carville said. "The phrase actually haunts me today."Co-host Al Hunt told Carville, "The bulk of the American electorate, even in this coming election, is going to be driven by economic considerations.""I agree, and it pains me," Carville responded. "We can get over high egg prices, we can get over high gas prices, and we can get over a lot of interest rates. You can't get over systemic, endemic, persuasive corruption. That's everything."
President, in latest AI-generated social media post, targets prominent celebrities who have spoken out against himDonald Trump on Thursday posted an AI-generated social media video portraying himself as a doctor who claims to have cured some of his most prominent celebrity critics – including Rosie O’Donnell – of the fictional condition “Trump derangement syndrome”.Outside the AI fantasy, O’Donnell said her assessment of the president remained unchanged. In a statement, she offered her own diagnosis: “He’s quite ill-and getting worse daily. The 25th amendment exists for exactly this reason. Remove. Impeach. Convict.” Continue reading...
The New York Post is celebrating America's 250th birthday with a look back at the nation's -- and the paper's -- history. We're revisiting 250 notable covers and articles from our archives, including the very first paper Alexander Hamilton published in 1801.
The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language puts "room temperature" somewhere between 68°F and 72°F. Under socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, New Yorkers are expected to adjust to a warmer norm.New York is facing a heatwave with temperatures expected to hover around 100°F on Thursday and Friday. This heat wave, which the National Weather System indicates will impact multiple states and could bring temperatures as high as 115 degrees, threatens the stability of the power grid — which in New York was deprived of 1,040 megawatts of additional nuclear generating capacity in April 2021 when the Indian Point nuclear plant was shut down.'Just say no.'"The power grid is working overtime to keep us cool," Mamdani told New Yorkers on Wednesday. "Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can."The leftist mayor noted further that the city has adopted the "78 degrees rule" in its buildings and will dim or turn off lights during peak electricity demand as well as power down "non-essential equipment.""A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved," said Mamdani. "Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together."Critics blasted Mamdani's 78-degree rule as yet another foretaste of the socialistic nightmare he and his ilk have in store for America.RELATED: Democrat who wants to 'seize the means of production' won't deny she's a commie CHARLY TRIBALLEAU/AFP/Getty Images"This is what socialism looks like, folks," said Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. "The right answer isn't restrictions or mandates. It's drilling, fracking, coal, & nuclear. That's how we'll roll in Ohio."Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) tweeted, "SoCIAlisM WoRKS thO," adding three woozy-face emojis."Turns out socialism actually isn't free," wrote Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R)."This is a retarded post, Malaise. Defeatist. Bad form. Delete," wrote Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet. "Enjoy capitalism while you have it."The Libertarian Party Mises Caucus quipped, "'The warmth of collectivism,' folks."Vickie Paladino, a Republican member of the New York City Council, had a different message than Mamdani's for her fellow New Yorkers."Actually, live your life normally, use your AC in whatever manner keeps you comfortable, and if the grid collapses make them explain why we don’t have power generation capacity sufficient to our needs as a city, and make them fix it by building more capacity," wrote Paladino."Do not acquiesce or normalize any of this," continued the Republican. "Nothing socialists say can be taken in good faith. They want to take away AC permanently (as they have in Europe) and they will do it first by getting you used to the idea that your AC must be turned down for ‘the greater good,’ then by making it more expensive to purchase and operate through higher energy costs (also already happening), and finally by regulating it out of existence. Just say no."Residents looking to beat the heat who are presently without air conditioning can consult New York's "Cool It!" map for directions to the various spray showers, outdoor pools, leafy areas, and drinking fountains available throughout the city.Like Blaze News?

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invoked 'the dark stain of slavery' in an explosive reprimand of fellow Justice Clarence Thomas on Tuesday.
The versatile striker was dangerous in his time on the field on Wednesday, but that time was prematurely ended with a surprising ejectionThe day after the US supreme court upheld birthright citizenship, Folarin Balogun – a player who wouldn’t have even been on the pitch if not for the longstanding, constitutional law – pushed the United States through to the World Cup last 16. Just two days short of his 25th birthday, Balogun scored the opening goal in the US’s 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, his third of the tournament.Then, about 20 minutes later, Balogun was sent off, given a straight red card for what appeared to be inadvertent contact with Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemović. It was a shocking turn of events for the Monaco forward, who was among the US’s best performers on Wednesday, as he has been for the entirety of the tournament. Continue reading...
