(AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) President Donald Trump lavished praise on his team — and himself — on Monday morning over the Great American State Fair taking place on the National Mall this month. Posting to Truth Social just before 6:30 a.m. ET, the president said the event, which began on June 25, was crowded “with happy people,” despite reports of the contrary. “Do you think people appreciate what a fantastic job we did in building and operating the Great American State Fair at the National Mall, packed with happy people, and everybody loving it?” Trump asked in the post. In an attack at both of his predecessors, Trump added: “Ask yourself this simple question, “DO YOU THINK THAT OBUMA OR SLEEPY JOE BIDEN COULD HAVE DONE IT?” THE ANSWER IS NO!” The Washington Post has reported various problems with the fair since it began, including power outages, less-than-desirable crowds, and melted ice cream. The 16-day Great American State Fair, held in conjunction with America’s 250th anniversary, will continue through July 4 weekend and end on July 10.The post Trump Touts ‘Fantastic Job We Did’ on Great American State Fair, Slams Predecessors in Early Morning Social Post first appeared on Mediaite.

Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski slammed Senator Chris Murphy’s (D-CT) apparent refusal to condemn old and now-deleted “deal breaker” tweets by Democratic House nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier as MAGA-like gaslighting. Chevalier, a self-described Democratic socialist endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is facing scrutiny over a series of deleted social media posts made between 2018 and 2022, including posts promoting alternative theories about the origins of Covid-19, referring to former Vice President Kamala Harris with an expletive, and calling former President Joe Biden a “rapist.” Following her victory, she told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi she regretted the posts. On Monday’s Morning Joe, however, Brzezinski slammed Murphy for having pushed back on the controversy when asked about the tweets during an interview on Sunday’s Meet the Press. Murphy said the Democratic Party has to have a “real contest of ideas.” After rolling back the clip of the senator’s comments, the host then profiled a rebuttal of Murphy by her husband, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough, posted to X, in which he urged Democrats to “call out crazy” within their own party. Brzezinski then reacted herself, beginning: “This is going to be an interesting issue, actually, for candidates on both sides of the aisle, because they’re now many of them are old enough to have passed tweets and ridiculous statements, and voters are going to have to decide what the line is. What’s the deal breaker in this case?” “I think it’s pretty clear, some of these statements are complete deal breakers, and it’s not hard to say. It’s just not hard to say,” she said. Rounding on Murphy, comparing his stance to that diehard MAGA supporters’ refusal to criticize President Donald Trump, she continued: “And one of the most frustrating thing about Trump’s first presidency and his second, and folks who chose to vote for Trump the first time and then vote for him a second time, and then act shocked about the cruelty of the mass deportations, or to act shocked about the tariffs, or to say, ‘Well, I haven’t been watching the news. I don’t know about that one!’ That is like the most gaslighting experience one can ever, ever see throughout this entire political cycle or cycles because pretending you haven’t seen it is impossible – it’s an out.” “And now to see a Democrat doing it – and I like, we both love Chris… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - ‘What a Loser!’ Biden Shreds Trump’s ‘Narcissism’ and ‘Corruption’...Former President Joe Biden tore into his successor, President Donald Trump, on Saturday, calling him a “loser” and accusing the current commander in chief of “narcissism” and unprecedented “corruption” in one of his sharpest attacks since leaving office. Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Hanover, Maryland, Biden mocked a series of Trump-backed renovation projects in Washington before escalating into a broader denunciation of the president’s conduct in office. “Look, it’s not just his deliberate distortion and destruction of NATO and his choosing [Russian President Vladimir] Putin over American allies, or the fact that he’s diminished our standing in the eyes of the world, more than any president in history has,” Biden said. Turning to Trump’s construction projects in the nation’s capital, he continued: “It’s not just his vanity projects, tearing down the East Wing of the White House, making room for his ballroom, putting his name on a Kennedy Center. He’s building an arch in his own honor and hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool.” “Whoa! What a loser!” he chirped. The remarks referenced Trump’s renovation of the National Mall’s Reflecting Pool, a multimillion-dollar project that came under scrutiny after algae reportedly returned during a recent heatwave and paint on the pool’s base began peeling. “The Reflecting Pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration,” Biden said. “It’s the corruption, the corruption! The brazen, blatant corruption! Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.” Biden added: “Trump has made billions of dollars in his return to the White House. It’s simply stunning to me. He has no shame. And frankly, it is embarrassing for the country. But Trump? Trump could care less.” Saturday’s speech marked some of Biden’s most direct criticism yet of his successor since leaving office, almost two years after his disastrous debate performance against Trump derailed his bid for a second term and ultimately led him to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. The former president, who is undergoing treatment for advanced prostate cancer, has made only occasional public appearances since leaving office.

- NY Times Bombshell Details How Trump’s Sons Stand to Gain From $1.6B Kazakhsta...
(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) President Donald Trump’s sons stand to benefit from a major U.S.-backed mining venture in Kazakhstan after the Trump administration helped broker an agreement giving an American company access, according to a bombshell investigation by The New York Times. The report details how Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump became financially connected to the Kazakhstan project while the administration was pursuing a strategic agreement with the Central Asian nation to secure supplies of the critical mineral, which is essential for missile warheads, fighter jets, semiconductors, and other defense and industrial applications. The deal comes as Washington races to reduce its dependence on China for critical minerals after Beijing imposed export restrictions on tungsten last year, triggering a surge in prices and renewed efforts to build alternative supply chains. According to the lengthy Times report, published Sunday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trump personally helped secure Kazakhstan’s agreement to grant mining rights to a U.S.-backed company, Kaz Resources. The administration also approved preliminary applications for up to $1.6 billion in federal financing for the project, though the funding still requires additional approvals. Within weeks of those negotiations, investors linked to Dominari Securities, a financial firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, acquired a 20% stake in a corporate entity connected to the Kazakhstan venture. Around the same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, controlled by the Lutnick family and overseen by Howard Lutnick’s sons Brandon and Kyle, helped raise $210 million for a related company involved in the transaction. The agreement was signed on November 6, six days after the investment involving the Trump-linked entity and its partners, according to The Times. The Times reported that at least 14 companies with financial ties to either the Trump family, the Lutnick family or both are actively working with the federal government on critical minerals projects, including the Kazakhstan venture. Collectively, those projects have received or are being considered for more than $8.9 billion in federal support. In a statement to the Times, the White House rejected suggestions of impropriety. “The only special interest guiding the Trump administration’s decision-making is the best interest of the American people,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said. “Securing and reshoring America’s critical supply chains has been a top priority for President Trump, and Secretary Lutnick along with the rest of the administration continue to take historic action to safeguard America’s national and economic security.” Eric… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - WATCH: Sniper-Flanked Trump Ogles Latest DC Renovation in Sunday Stop at Federal...POTUS spotted by press pool getting out of motorcade Sunday morning to visit East Potomac Golf Links, where he reviewed blueprints of likely renovations.

The president has become well-known for his fixation on renovations like his Reflecting Pool project, and is also famously enamored with the game of golf. Those passions intersected on Sunday as pool reporters Gerren Keith Gaynor and Liz Landers captured Trump — in print and in images — making a couple of stops on the way to his own golf course: Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2026 9:00 AM Subject: In-Town Pool #2 – Rolling/POTUS visits Lafayette Park Pool moved to the vans at 7:57 a.m. without getting eyes on POTUS.

- Radio Isn’t the Problem
The author is president/CEO of JVC Broadcasting in Ronkonkoma, N.Y. He issued this comment after we posted our story on the massive layoffs ongoing at iHeartMedia. I am sick of the headlines. Every time I open an industry publication, it’s the same old song: another major radio conglomerate cutting jobs, eliminating local programming and consolidating operations. Another story about an industry trying to shrink its way to success. And frankly, I’m tired of it. Not because these companies are making business decisions — that is their right. And there are a lot of talented people working at those companies. I’m tired because these failing corporate strategies have become the public face of our industry. Every headline tells the world that “radio is dying.” It’s not. As an independent broadcaster, I can tell you that radio is very much alive. It has provided an incredible living for me, my family and hundreds of employees over the years. It continues to generate massive results for advertisers, entertain millions of listeners and serve local communities every single day. So I have to ask: If radio is supposedly broken, why are independent broadcasters across America still investing in stations? Why are we hiring? Why are we creating massive local events? Why are we putting live personalities on the air? Why are we growing our businesses while others are shrinking theirs? Maybe the problem isn’t the medium. Maybe the problem is the model. Wall Street measures radio by quarterly earnings and short-term spreadsheets. Main Street measures radio by community impact, local relationships and long-term viability. At JVC, we still believe in live and local. We believe a morning show should know the mayor, the high school football coach, the local restaurant owner and the family that just lost everything in a house fire. We believe local salespeople should be out on the pavement helping small businesses grow — not sitting behind a screen selling from three states away. We aren’t perfect, but we’ve built a thriving company by investing in people instead of eliminating them. So here is my question to the industry: If one group keeps cutting talent, stripping local content and signaling to everyone radio is in decline … while another group continues to invest, serve its communities and build highly profitable businesses… Who is really doing it wrong? Radio isn’t the problem. The way some companies choose to operate it is. I’ll… [TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago
