- Billy Bush Tells Fox That NBC Can and Should ‘Easily’ Pay Reported $6M Ransom for Savannah Guthr...
Billy Bush said the $6 million ransom the suspected kidnappers of Savannah Guthrie’s mom are demanding can and should be “easily” paid by NBC to get 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie back home. Bush talked about the surreal ordeal during an appearance on The Sunday Briefing on Fox News. He said it is obvious Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance has emotionally wrecked his former Today show colleague — but that the demand for a payment gives him reason to “very hopeful and optimistic.” And if that is the case, Bush said NBC should pay ASAP. “The report is that Monday by 5:00 o’clock they want a $6 million bitcoin ransom; that means Nancy Guthrie is well. And $6 million for NBC is, well, a quick-hit send,” Bush said. “They should be able to get that done very easily.” Bush was referring to a local TV station in Tucson, Arizona receiving a message saying… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - GOP Congressman Abruptly Pivots When Asked if Trump Should Apologize For Racist PostRep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) made an abrupt pivot when asked Sunday whether President Donald Trump should apologize for the racist post that appeared on his social media account targeting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama. The video, posted late Thursday night, depicted the Obamas with their heads superimposed on the bodies of apes. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle called out the racist trope for what it was, before the White House finally took it down some 12 hours later. Trump blamed a White House staffer for posting the offensive content. Gonzales told Margaret Brennan with CBS News’s Face The Nation that it was “up to the president” to decide how to handle the fallout — after she asked “Do you think he needs to apologize?” Gonzales added, “There’s no room in this country for racism, anti semitism, socialism — all the ‘isms’… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- ‘He Should Just Resign!’ Massie Calls for Trump Commerce Secretary to Step Down Over Epstein Tie...Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is calling for President Donald Trump’s Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, to resign over his ties to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. In a fiery hit on CNN’s Inside Politics Sunday, the Kentucky Congressman called for Lutnick to step down following the revelations in the latest tranche of Epstein documents released by the DOJ. “Trump’s Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, said that he and his wife decided around 2005 to cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein, but the latest release shows that there was some correspondence after that, even after Epstein pleaded guilty to sex crimes in 2008,” CNN’s Manu Raju told Massie. “What questions do you have about Lutnik’s ties to Epstein and should he come before Congress and testify?” “No, he should just resign!” Massie responded. “I mean, there are three people in Great Britain that have resigned in politics — the ambassador… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago

(Credit: Library of Congress) In the 1920s, if you wanted to become a commercial radio operator or a shipboard radioman, you needed a Commercial Radio License, issued by the Department of Commerce. The best way to achieve this was to attend one of the few radio schools that operated in principal cities around the United States. Two of the most distinguished schools were in Washington, D.C.: the National Radio Institute and the Loomis Radio College. The latter was the only woman-owned radio school in the country. Mary Texanna Loomis was the principal instructor and that rare creature in the 1920s: a female authority on radio. She was a distant cousin to Dr. Mahlon Loomis, who in 1866 had experimented with “stealing current from the atmosphere” using kites and metallic string. In one experiment, he flew kites from two peaks of the… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Trump Trashes Olympic Skier Who Says He Has ‘Mixed Emotions’ Representing US: ‘A Real Loser’

In a blistering post to Truth Social on Sunday morning, the president ripped Hess over remarks he made just prior to Friday’s Opening Ceremony the Olympics in Milan Cortina. “U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics,” Trump wrote. “If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it. Very hard to root for someone like this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” During a Friday press conference, Hess… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - ‘How is That OK?!’ ABC’s Jon Karl Confronts House Republican On Trump Dangling Funds in Exchan...ABC’s Jonathan Karl confronted Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) about President Donald Trump offering to unfreeze $16 billion in infrastructure funds if major landmarks were renamed in his honor. Both Punchbowl News and Karl reported on Friday that Trump told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that he would be willing to unfreeze the billions in funds for a major infrastructure project in New York if Schumer agreed to rename two major transportation landmarks — New York’s Penn Station and Washington’s Dulles Airport — in his honor. “How is that OK?!” Karl asked the New York congressman on Sunday’s edition of ABC’s This Week. Lawler talked about the importance of the project to his district, and argued there was a precedent for Trump’s reported demands. “Ultimately, this is a negotiation between the two of them that I think can get done,” Lawler said. “I recall back… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
