- Ken Paxton Drowned Out By Protesters During Campaign Event
Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton was drowned out as protesters disrupted a campaign event where he was speaking about lowering costs for Texans. Paxton was speaking to a crowd about “Paxton’s Protecting Texas, the Texas Promise Plan” when loud boos forced him to stop. As he was being booed, the Republican candidate joked, “It’s okay. I don’t think she’s gonna like the plan.” After a few seconds of silently listening to the boos, Paxton supporters eventually drowned them out and Paxton continued. He said: Let me tell you a little bit about the plan. So the first thing we want to do is we want to give a $25,000 tax deduction for all medical expenses and premiums, and that includes for all dependents. So we all know that Texans and Americans are struggling with expenses, including medical expenses, and I want to make it easier for people to pay those expenses. We also want to offer a first-time home buyer a $50,000 tax deduction. And if you buy another residence that’s your primary residence, another $50,000 tax deduction, so you have two bites of the apple. A poll of 1,200 voters by the Barbara Jordan Public Policy Research and Survey Center at Texas Southern University found Talarico leading 47% to Paxton’s 45%. A Fox News poll also found him with a similarly tight three-point lead. Paxton is facing Democratic candidate James Talarico in his Senate race. Talarico has been showing some slim leads over Paxton despite being a Democrat running in heavily red Texas. CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten declared this week that Talarico has a very real shot at winning a Senate seat, noting Paxton, who has the backing of President Donald Trump, has struggled to connect with independents. “Take a look here, the GOP nominee’s net favorability, in July of 2018, Ted Cruz was eight points above water,” Enten reported. “Look at this side of the screen — very different indeed. Ken Paxton, six points underwater with — get this — among Independents, 47 point under water. No wonder, no wonder that you’re seeing major issues for Ken Paxton in this race so far.” Watch above via CSPAN.The post Ken Paxton Drowned Out By Protesters During Campaign Event first appeared on Mediaite.

Max Miller’s (R-OH) CNN appearance left him with “no reason” to believe the embattled congressman should remain in office. Miller joined Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s The Lead, where host Jake Tapper asked him about the abuse allegations from his ex-wife and Sen. Bernie Moreno’s (R-OH) daughter, Emily Moreno, who said Miller pointed a gun at her head, threw scalding hot water at her, pushed her into a wall, and fractured their two-year-old daughter’s collarbone. Miller denies the accusations. “First of all, my heart goes out to the family,” said Jennings on CNN. “I mean, you’ve got a mother, a young child. Bernie Moreno, who I know and have been very fond of — a great new senator from Ohio. I mean, I believe them when they say they have gone through what Bernie Moreno called ‘the seventh level of hell.'” Here, Jennings is referring to Tuesday comments made by Moreno to reporters, in which he said, “What my daughter has been through, what my wife is going through, this is truly the seventh level of hell. This has been a horrific experience for my entire family.” Jennings continued on Miller’s CNN interview: This interview today was remarkable. It was long. It was full of deflection. Um, I found no reason, just as a Republican watching it, why I would want that person, above all other Republicans who live in that district, to serve in the U.S. Congress. Even if you’re Max Miller and you want to argue, “All of these things are not true,” or “it’s made up,” or whatever, don’t you have to ask yourself, “What’s the best thing for my family?” You know, we’ve got a broken family here. We’ve got a little girl. He strikes me as someone who needs some personal healing. That family obviously needs some healing, and is the best way to do that to fight it out in a congressional campaign? In the middle of American politics, the way it is right now, obviously the answer to that question is no. I would think it’d be a pretty easy call for Republicans to say, “We can do better than this in Ohio.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post Scott Jennings Admits He ‘Found No Reason’ to Want Max Miller in Congress After CNN Interview first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘Shame on You’: Pete Hegseth Declares CNN Reporting on Iran Is ‘NOT TRUEâ€...
AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at CNN on Tuesday over the network’s reporting that U.S. military stockpiles had fallen to “dangerously low” levels following strikes on Iran, declaring on X, “Shame on you.” Hegseth’s post focused on a Tuesday chyron, covered on-air by CNN’s Kasie Hunt, that read, “Sources: U.S. has used nearly 80% of key missile interceptors in Iran war, top commanders warn stockpiles ‘dangerously low.'” “That banner is NOT TRUE,” wrote Hegseth. “Shame on you. We don’t hate the Fake News media enough.” That banner is NOT TRUE, @CNN. Shame on you. We don’t hate the Fake News media enough. pic.twitter.com/QCwEoykQZR — Pete Hegseth (@PeteHegseth) August 4, 2026 In the network’s written story on the matter, CNN’s Zachary Cohen, Jim Sciutto, and Haley Britzky cited multiple sources familiar with Pentagon assessments who said the U.S. has depleted large portions of its missile inventory during the Iran conflict, including nearly 80% of its THAAD interceptors and about half of its Patriot missiles. The sources added that senior military leaders have warned President Donald Trump’s administration that stockpiles are “dangerously low.” The report mentions that these concerns were voiced before Trump’s Saturday announcement that he plans “to hold off any attack” because “the perimeters of a deal ha[ve] been agreed to,” while still promising, “The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II.” Also on Tuesday, seemingly backing up CNN’s reporting, Reuters cited multiple sources who said the U.S. has burned through “virtually all” of its inventory of Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM). The White House pushed back on concerns, telling Reuters the U.S. has “far more munitions than anyone in the world” and “far more than we need.” They gave a similar statement to CNN, with White House spokesperson Anna Kelly telling the network that the U.S. military “has more than enough munitions, ammo, and stockpiles to serve all of President Trump’s strategic goals and beyond.” CNN declined to comment for this story.The post ‘Shame on You’: Pete Hegseth Declares CNN Reporting on Iran Is ‘NOT TRUE’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Goldberg joined Palmer on the Baby, This Is Keke Palmer podcast, where she revealed one of her favorite things about hosting The View is the paycheck. “I love the check,” she said. Goldberg then insisted the number would surprise people and they couldn’t imagine what she brings in. “Trust me. You can’t. You would be shocked,” she said. The actress added, “As soon as they showed you that check, you’d be like, ‘What the!?’” Goldberg said she appreciates having the steady gig as an artist — one who has taken home Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards, completing the coveted EGOT sequence — saying she’s “lucky.” “A lot of people don’t have jobs, so I’m lucky. I like to talk, I like talking about stuff, I like people. And I’m okay with what I think I believe. I don’t mind doing that. Even when it irritates people? That’s what the show is. It’s not irritation, necessarily, but it is called The View,” she said. Goldberg recalled the late Barbara Walters offering her the gig when she needed a job. Goldberg joined the table in 2007, and she now co-hosts with Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, though she takes most Fridays off from the show. “She said, ‘We just lost one of the people on the show, would you consider coming over?’ And I’d been doing a radio show, and I said, ‘Absolutely, yeah!’ She brought me over, and it’s like I’ve been crazy-glued to that chair!” Goldberg said. Her exact income isn’t publicly known, but reports have indicted reports have suggested it’s mid-seven figures. Journalist Yashar Ali reported on X, citing people familiar with the matter, that it stands at an annual $6 million. The last story I did on The View, I was told by three people familiar with her contract that Whoopi was being paid $6 million a year. That is obviously a lot of money to a lot of people, but she’s talking about it as if she’s making Oprah money.

- House Republican Hints at Having ‘Deeply… Embarrassing’ Dirt on GOP Senato...Representative Max Miller (R-OH) appeared to argue that his former father-in-law Sen. Bernie Moreno “waited” to acknowledge his daughter’s claims of abuse because he was “afraid a livestream was going to expose deeply personal and embarrassing matter.” Miller’s ex-wife Emily Moreno, the daughter of Bernie Moreno, accused him of abusing herself and their two-year-old daughter. Emily’s claims were detailed in a report by The New York Times in which she said he “scalded her chest and stomach by throwing hot water from a skillet at her body; held a gun to her head; pushed her against a wall and hit her head; and fractured their daughter’s collarbone and bruised her shoulder.” While speaking to Jake Tapper on The Lead Tuesday, Miller denied Bernie’s claim he kept a stuffed blue bunny from his daughter for several days. “If that were true, that would be incredibly disturbing and the Senator would be right. However, he has taken two years to publicly acknowledge—for me to resign from my seat. Why is that, Jake?” He continued, “If he truly believed… I’m a father to a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. I believe that you’re also a father to children. And I don’t know if you’re actually a father to a daughter … what I can tell you is, is that if my daughter came to me and she said, my ex-husband did X, Y, and Z, and then I waited because I was nervous that a political livestream was going to expose a deeply personal and embarrassing matter for him to take that action. Sadly, this has nothing to do with my daughter, Jake, and that’s what this entire thing is about.” After Tapper posited it is “possible” Bernie didn’t say anything “because his daughter didn’t want him to say anything because he didn’t want this to become any more of a spectacle than it’s become,” to which Miller said, “You could say that.” Miller added, “But also, dealing with this as a private family matter, why couldn’t we have had a conversation about this a year ago, if Mr. Moreno felt this was the case?” “Why do we now have to be here on national TV, exposing all of our personal family drama? Why didn’t he come to me privately and say, ‘Max, I don’t believe that you should be in the United States Congress?'” Tapper countered: “I don’t know, but it’s not really… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- Amazon Is Reportedly Doubling Down on Melania Trump With a New DocuseriesFirst Lady Melania Trump will be the subject of a new Amazon Prime docuseries, senior adviser Marc Beckman announced Tuesday, following Amazon MGM Studios’ documentary film Melania, released earlier this year. Speaking on-air with Real America’s Voice host Eric Bolling about the upcoming project, Beckman said, “This fall, we are following the film with a docuseries surrounding the first lady, surrounding Melania Trump. It’s a completely different look at her world” than Melania. The Brett Ratner-directed film was released on Jan. 30 and ultimately earned $16.6 million worldwide. Wildly, it cost $75 million to make. Beckman continued, “It gives the viewers a little bit of a peek as to what happens right at the beginning of the new 47th presidential administration” of President Donald Trump. “You might remember, if you saw the film [Melania], we only captured 20 days of the first lady’s life. We open the window, a little bit, into her private life, her marriage, her family. We open a little deeper into her career, as well as her philanthropy, but with the docuseries, it’s a little bit different. It’s shot different. It’s a different story. It’s a full new experience for the viewers,” he explained. Calling her “the most consequential first lady in history,” Beckman vowed that the docuseries will show the first lady’s “work ethic, that high level, that standard of being impactful.” The show will premiere “exclusively” on Amazon Prime “this fall,” Beckman said, adding, “I hope everybody tunes in because it’s gonna show a part of the first lady that hasn’t been seen yet.” In May, during an interview with CNBC, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos defended Melania’s $75 million price tag, calling the documentary a “good business decision,” but denying he had anything to do with it or that it was made to buy favor with Trump.
