(Photos via: @Haleybooyah on Instagram and Zeteo) Michigan Senate candidate Haley Stevens (D) on Sunday rejected a call from one of her supporters to kick the “Muslim butt” of her opponent, fellow Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, in the upcoming primary. The Detroit News wrote about the exchange while following Stevens to a “Black church.” Reporter Grant Schwab wrote: “Miss Stevens, we know you’re gonna kick that Muslim’s butt,” a parishioner of Fellowship Chapel in Detroit said to Stevens as she arrived to attend the Sunday service. He was referring to her opponent, former Wayne County public health official Abdul El-Sayed, who has spoken about his faith in recent days. “You know what, we’re here for Michigan,” Stevens said in response, attempting to deflect the comment. “I know you are,” the African American man told Stevens from his car in the parking lot of the church. “But I don’t know about him.” Speaking to a Detroit News reporter immediately after the exchange, Stevens said: “Look, that’s not what my campaign is about. It is about what I just said to him. It’s about Michigan.” “I am proud of the rich diversity in this state,” she later added. “We, you know, are proud of our Lebanese American community, our Yemeni community, and, you know, just all the hopes and dreams for our future in Michigan.” Her response comes two days before the state’s Democratic primary is held on August 4. El-Sayed is leading in 17 of the 32 polls tracked by The New York Times, while Stevens has the edge in 11 of the polls. El-Sayed has been a fixture on cable news over the past few months, including one recent appearance on CNN where he dodged Jake Tapper’s question about why he said a lot of people were upset right after Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed. He also claimed Israel was was just as “evil” as Hamas during an April appearance on CNN, among other gripes he has about the country.The post Democratic Candidate Haley Stevens Rejects Voter’s Plea to Kick Her Opponent’s ‘Muslim Butt’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve took a not-so-subtle shot at Sophie Cunningham by wearing a t-shirt declaring “Trans Kids Belong” on Sunday when her team played Cunningham’s Indiana Fever. The shirt was an obvious dig at Cunningham, who has been both praised and condemned since telling ESPN last month she does not believe biological boys who have transitioned should be allowed to play against girl athletes. Reeve wore the shirt under her sports coat. The shirt was clearly visible on the ESPN broadcast, and play-by-play announcer Ryan Ruocco noted she was wearing it “in support of trans kids.” ESPN then played footage of Cunningham and Reeve in what appeared to be a fairly animated conversation before the game. (Photo Credit: ESPN) ESPN commentator and WNBA legend Rebecca Lobo suggested viewers listen to the “incredibly thoughtful” comments Reeve made on Saturday, where the coach said it was “problematic” some people believe “transgender athletes are the biggest problem in women’s sports.” Reeve continued venting, saying it was “bothersome” there is a “faction of people in our country that are making this a massive issue.” Cunningham has been at the center of a media firestorm since her much-publicized ESPN profile in July. Here is the comment that sparked the whole saga: “I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I’m like, ‘I never once said that,’” [Cunningham] says. “I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She later doubled down on her remarks, following some blowback from players, fans, and pundits. Plenty of other fans have supported Cunningham, and her Adidas shoes became a must-have item for many of them. One of those fans who went to watch Cunningham play last week was berated by Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton, who called the teen fan and her friend “f*cking insane.” Keaton was suspended over the viral incident. Reeve’s shirt (Photo Credit: ESPN) The Cunningham controversy kept rolling into the weekend, with the Fever PR director shutting down a post-game interview on Friday the moment Cunningham’s name was mentioned. A rally in support of Cunningham took place before the game on Sunday, with attendees like Outkick’s Riley Gaines and former NBC Sports reporter (and current Minnesota Republican governor candidate)… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - WATCH: Jim Jordan Sputters When Asked if Alleged Reflecting Pool Vandal Should G...
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) went off the rails Sunday when CNN’s Dana Bash asked if a former Olympian charged with desecrating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool should be compensated for government “weaponization.” During a discussion of Trump’s insistence that a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” be set up, Bash said, “Just kind of looking ahead to who could or should be eligible for the fund, I want to play something that the Interior secretary Doug Burgum told me about the reflecting pool,” Bash said before playing video of Burgum. BURGUM: It didn’t peel off. There was vandalism. There was box box cutters. There have been seven arrests. There were people literally trying to destroy part of the monument. BASH: You’re 100% sure that what happened with the liner was vandalism? You can prove it? BURGUM: Oh, absolutely we can. And as we we drain it, and we’ve got all the photographs. Bash continued addressing Jordan, saying, “As you well know, the U.S. Attorney here in D.C., Jeanine Pirro, said that vandalism did not damage the pool, but it was a hasty and botched contract renovation that did. They dropped their case, a criminal case, that they had against former Olympian David Hearn. Given what he’s gone through, should he be eligible for money from the anti-weaponization fund?” “Well, that would be up to the board. I mean, if what —” Jordan began before Bash interjected, “But, what do you think? “That’s up to, I don’t make the decision. It’s up to —” “I know, but you have an opinion,” Bash shot back. “What I do know is Peter Strzok shouldn’t have got $1.2 million when he tried to undermine President Trump’s election campaign —” “So, you have an opinion on that,” Bash said. “You have an opinion that he shouldn’t have gotten it. What about David Hearn?” “Well, that’ll be up to the board!” Jordan repeated, growing agitated. “I don’t know all the facts, this story just broke, I don’t know all the facts — why the Justice Department dropped the case, why the Department of Interior said that there was something there. I’d have to look at all that. We’d have to look!” “Mr. Chairman, one of the facts now, and this is based on what the president’s own U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who I know you know well, she used to be on Fox, said the ramifications of it… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Bizarre Anthem Performance at Baseball Game Goes Viral: ‘The Flag Looked Embar...
(Photo Credit: WPBL) From “Dancing in the Streets” to “Covering your ears and cringing in the bleachers.” The Women’s Pro Baseball League got a bunch of free press on Saturday when its debut game was overshadowed by an absolutely dreadful rendition of the National Anthem performed by Martha Reeves and two other women. Trying to explain the very pitchy performance is next to impossible; you have to listen to it to believe how off-the-rails it went. Keep an ear out for the screeching “Rockets red glare / the bombs bursting in air” moment midway through, though. Then again, it would be impossible to miss — if you can listen for that long. The 85-year-old Reeves was the lead singer of Martha and the Vandellas back in the ’60s and performed hits like “Dancing in the Streets” and “Nowhere to Run”… but unfortunately for Reeves, she could not run away from the skewering she got on social media. For starters, here’s the initial clip, which has been viewed more than 9.5 million times since Saturday: shoutout to the WPBL anthem performance pic.twitter.com/AO2KGWF2iK — lauren (@wrenicole) August 1, 2026 And now for the reviews. One user said the “off-key mess” was so bad it “made the flag look embarrassed.” Martha Reeves and the backup crew just committed a hate crime against the National Anthem.

(AP Photo/Alastair Grant) President Donald Trump trash-talked members of his Bedminster, NJ golf club after claiming he beat them in Saturday’s senior club championship. In a post to Truth Social on Sunday, the president shared video of what he called “the winning shot” from Saturday’s tournament — a pitch shot from what appeared to be 40-50 yards out which checked up nicely with backspin about three feet away from the hole. “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship!” Trump boasted. “Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, because I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t!” Trump actually seemed to have an off-day, compared to past performances in the event. Back in 2023, the president claimed he fired a 5-under-par 67 — three strokes better than the 2-under 70 he claimed on Saturday. Nonetheless, Trump claimed two more championships in the senior and super senior net categories of the competition. That would seem to give Trump at least 40 club championships — as, last December, he claimed to have won at least 38. “I’ve won 38 golf championships and I don’t get to practice very much,” Trump said. “I beat a 27-year-old kid. I’ve won 38 of them, every one of them legitimately. It has to be legitimate because you have a lot of people following you with club championships.” Of course, Trump’s claims of his golf prowess have been met with enormous skepticism. “He cheats like a mafia accountant,” Sportswriter Rick Reilly — who wrote a book about Trump’s golf game — told CNN back in 2019. “He cheats crazy. He cheats whether you’re watching or not. He cheats whether you like it or not.” ——The post Trump Trashes Members of His Own Golf Club After Claiming Yet Another Championship: ‘It’s Called TALENT, And I Have it, And They Don’t!’ first appeared on Mediaite.
