- ‘Hypocritical Crap’: Bruce Springsteen Torched by His Hometown Paper for ‘...

(Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP) New Jersey icon Bruce Springsteen got absolutely pummeled in a major homestate outlet for being a Trump-obsessed rich fraud who masquerades as a champion of the blue-collar worker, while in reality being a greedy hypocrite who does nothing to help the average American and illegal immigrants he says he cares about. NJ.com music and culture reporter Bobby Olivier shredded “The Boss” in a NJ.com column on Tuesday. Olivier reviewed Springsteen’s homecoming show in Newark from the night before, and the title — “Springsteen’s N.J. concert was poisoned by hypocrisy. Anti-Trump final act is a tragic mistake” — let readers know right away he was not going to spare any punches. He wrote Springsteen’s fixation on President Donald Trump has grown trite and tiresome. The rocker’s lecture at the start of the show — where he complains “the America I love… is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous administration” — was a bore, Olivier wrote. He said Springsteen’s preachiness was tough to stomach and square with his everyman persona. “One problem: It’s all hypocritical crap,” Olivier wrote. “Profiteering over legitimate protest. Springsteen’s artistic identity, as a bleeding-heart populist who sings for the destitute and downtrodden, has never been more disconnected from his economic behavior as a touring act or businessman.” He continued: The blue-collar troubadour now charges exorbitant amounts for his tickets — up to $2,900 retail for the best seats in Newark Monday; prices he agreed to despite fan backlash. He’s selling “No Kings” branded flags for $90 in the arena concourse. And last week, his merchandise distributor got an injunction passed to ban bootleg T-shirt sales outside the venue, even as crews of independent sellers — fine examples of working-class people he’s romanticized for 50 years — hawk merch at nearly every other Prudential Center show without issue. At another point, Olivier slammed Springsteen’s “exploitation of American division and outrage in a manner no better than any cable news pundit.” He wrote it was a “damning contradiction” and a “tragic” lapse in judgement that “threatens to tarnish” Springsteen’s last chapters as a performer. “The guy who sold his publishing catalog for $550 million singing to a room of almost exclusively white fans in defense of immigrants, who couldn’t afford get… [TheTopNews] Read More.39 mins ago - Monday Night Football Announcer Joe Buck to Host Upcoming Jeopardy Spin-Off on E...

(Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP) Monday Night Football play-by-play announcer Joe Buck will reportedly host a spin-off of the game show Jeopardy! being made for ESPN. According to a Tuesday morning report from Front Office Sports, ESPN Jeopardy! is expected to premiere this summer on Hulu and Disney+. The show will consist of celebrity guests, with “multiple ESPN talents” set to appear. The FOS report continued: Buck is the venerable lead play-by-play broadcaster for ESPN’s Monday Night Football package and will be on the call alongside Troy Aikman for the network’s Super Bowl coverage this upcoming season. He previously guest-hosted a week of Jeopardy! in Aug. 2021 following Alex Trebek’s death. Sony owns and produces Jeopardy! and has been looking for ways to expand the franchise. This will not be the first time the Jeopardy! franchise has had an offshoot dedicated to sports trivia. Sports Jeopardy! previously aired on Crackle from 2014 through 2016, and was hosted by Dan Patrick. Should ESPN talent fill out the roster of contestants, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see NFL analyst Mina Kimes make regular appearances on the show. She appeared and even won Celebrity Jeopardy! in the past, and even returned to the show a few days ago for the latest edition of Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars.The post Monday Night Football Announcer Joe Buck to Host Upcoming Jeopardy Spin-Off on ESPN: Report first appeared on Mediaite.

President Donald Trump was flattered by the idea that major corporations like Apple or Amazon might avoid asking for tariff refunds because they are afraid of “offending” him. Trump called into CNBC’s Squawk Box on Tuesday for an interview when, upon being asked about whether he would support a rise in interest rates, he railed against the Supreme Court’s February ruling that his emergency tariffs regime was illegal, which he called a “little setback.” Lambasting the Supreme Court justices, Trump said: “Because of what they did, we have to pay back $160 billion. All they had to do was add one sentence, just one sentence, and that’s, ‘You don’t have to pay anything taken in thus far back.’” “And by the way, it was a close call, too. There were justices that were powerful that I was right on the tariffs. But because we lost by just two votes, you know, just little vote, two votes, we have to pay back $165 billion. They could have with a little one sentence: ‘You don’t have to pay back tariffs that have already been received. You start from this point, and you do it a different way,’” he repeated. After he promised that his administration would bring in “bigger numbers” by implementing the tariffs a “different way,” co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin cut in to press the president further on the refunds. Sorkin began: “Mr. President, on that topic, there’s a whole number of very large companies, including Apple and Amazon and others that have not sought reimbursements yet for the tariffs, meaning they haven’t tried to collect refunds.” “And from what I understand, part of the reason that they have waited is because there is a worry about, frankly, offending you. Would you find it offensive for them to try to collect a refund?” he asked. Trump replied: “I think it’s brilliant that they don’t do that.” Laughing to himself, the president followed: “I actually think if they don’t do that, they’ve got to know me very well. I’m very honored by what you just said. If they don’t do that, I’ll remember them. I will tell you that.” Watch above via CNBC.The post Trump Flattered as CNBC’s Sorkin Asks If Amazon and Others May Abandon Tariff Refunds to Avoid ‘Offending’ Him first appeared on Mediaite.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper took a shot at President Donald Trump and his administration as he gave late-night host Stephen Colbert a protest gift that will be featured quietly at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Trump will attend his first WHCD in office this year, as will frequent press attackers like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and FCC Chair Brendan Carr. In response, the White House Correspondents’ Association members have settled on a silent protest involving First Amendment-themed accessories like pocket squares and lapel pins. On Monday night’s edition of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Tapper showed off his 1A paraphernalia and gifted Colbert with an accessory as he made a pointed reference to Trump administration guests who might be “unfamiliar”: STEPHEN COLBERT: Nice to see you again. You know, I enjoy your work, but what I forget when I haven’t seen you in a while is how damn handsome you are. CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: Oh, you’re so kind. STEPHEN COLBERT: Thank you. And dapper. And dappper. I like the pocket square. CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: Thank you. Oh, yeah. So this is a special freedom of the press and freedom of speech pocket square. (AUDIENCE CHEERS WILDLY). STEPHEN COLBERT: What’s it say? Show them the– That’s very nice. CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: Yeah, and we’re, I’m gonna be, you know, Saturday night’s the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. STEPHEN COLBERT: I did not know. CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: And there are a bunch of us that are gonna be wearing these. These are from the Reporters Committee for the Free Press. Oh, okay. And, cause there might be some guests there that are unfamiliar with, uh–. STEPHEN COLBERT: Oh, this is the first time that the president is going to be attending, right? CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: Now that you say so, yes! By the way, I brought you one. STEPHEN COLBERT: Oh, that’s so lovely. CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: And this is for Evie.

(Screenshot) President Donald Trump unleashed on the media and Democratic leadership for demeaning one of the signature achievements of his second term to date on Tuesday. “Never allow the Traitor Democrats like Low IQ person Hakeem Jeffries, or Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, or the totally corrupt Fake News Media such as the phony and decaying Wall Street Journal, the Failing New York Times (Subscriptions way down!), or dying ’60 Minutes,’ to demean or criticize Operation Midnight Hammer, which totally obliterated the Nuclear Dust locations to the point where bloodthirsty Iran has been unable to get to it, or dig it out,” wrote the president on Truth Social. “Space Force has cameras on every inch of the 3 sites that were so brilliantly hit last June! Thank you for your attention to this matter!” The post came a few hours after Trump raged at CNN over a segment during which Anderson Cooper questioned the feasibility of an operation to retrieve the enriched uranium buried at the three Iranian nuclear sites the United States struck last June. “Operation Midnight Hammer was a complete and total obliteration of the Nuclear Dust sites in Iran. Therefore, digging it out will be a long and difficult process,” declared Trump in his earlier post. “Fake News CNN, and other corrupt Media Networks and Platforms, fail to give our great aviators the credit they deserve – Always trying to demean and belittle – LOSERS!!!” The president had insisted last Friday that the Iranians had “agreed to everything” — including handing over the enriched uranium in question. “We’ll go down and get it with them, and then we’ll take it. We’ll be getting it together because by that time, we’ll have an agreement and there’s no need for fighting when there’s an agreement. Nice right? That’s better. We would have done it the other way if we had to,” said the president at the time. “Our people, together with the Iranians, are going to work together to go get it. And then we’ll take it to the United States.”The post Trump Rages at ‘Traitor Democrats’ and ‘Decaying’ WSJ for Demeaning Signature 2nd Term Achievement first appeared on Mediaite.

They said I can charge tariffs, but I have to do it a different way. And because of what they did, we have to pay back $160 billion. All they had to do is add one sentence, just one sentence. And that’s: you don’t have to pay anything taken in thus far back. But because they didn’t add — and by the way, it was a close call too. There were justices that were powerful that I was right on the tariffs. But because we lost by just two votes, you know, just little vote, two votes, we have to pay back $165 billion. They could have, with a little one sentence — you don’t have to paid back tariffs that have already been received, you start from this point, and you do it a different way. So we’re doing it a different, we’re going to end up with the same,” began Trump, referencing the Court’s 6-3 decision to strike down the tariffs Trump imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. “Actually, we’ll end up with bigger numbers, actually, but it’s a little more unwieldy, but it’s the way it’s been done. But it’s so sad that the Supreme Court didn’t want to save our country with one sentence, $165 billion. And we’re giving a lot of that money back to people that hate our country, so I’m not happy with the Supreme Court. I’ll be honest with you, OK?” After co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin followed up by asking whether some companies might not be seeking tariff refunds because they’re afraid of “offending” the president, Trump professed to be “honored” by the sentiment before turning his attention back to the Court. “I’m looking to make this country strong. Supreme Court could have helped us. Now they have birthright citizenship, they’ll probably rule against us. No country in the world has it. It’s horrible for our country, and I just see it, you know. I see some of these Republicans that are nominated by me asking real bad questions — and looks like maybe we’re gonna lose that one too,” mused Trump, who proceeded to launch into an extended riff about college sports before again… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
