President Donald Trump was amazed by Olympic speedskater Jordan Stolz’s physique on Thursday, namely his “very strong legs,” wondering, “How do I get my legs to look like that?” The moment came during a White House reception for athletes who competed for Team USA in the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games in Milano Cortina, Italy. The 22-year-old Stolz took home two golds and a silver, even setting Olympic records in the 500-meter and the 1000-meter events. Surrounded by athletes, Trump said from his podium Thursday, “Also with us is the single-most decorated American Olympian from the 2026 games, speedskater Jordan Stolz, and I watched that one too. Legs — strong legs. Very strong legs. I said, ‘How do I get my legs to look like that?’ I don’t have any time to work like that. But you were amazing and historic.” Notably, this isn’t the first time that the president has marveled at the appearances of male athletes. In May, Trump complained that he wished he looked like “beautiful” NFL quarterback Jaxson Dart. “I said, ‘Is he a male model, or what?’ He’s a handsome guy, like a beautiful guy,” the president told Lara Trump in a Fox News interview. Also in May, he told a rally crowd that Dart had “legs like tree trunks.” He also commented on professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau’s body during a May Oval Office presser, remarking, “He looked like a linebacker.” That wasn’t all for the month of May, with the president directing the crowd at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy’s graduation ceremony to “look at the muscles on this guy.” And in June, after accepting a commemorative gold medal from Stolz, Trump lamented, “I forgot to touch his leg… I can tell you one thing: his leg is like a rock.” Watch the full clip above on YouTube.The post Trump Marvels at Olympic Speedskater’s ‘Very Strong Legs’: ‘How Do I Get My Legs to Look Like That?’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Chip Somodevilla/AP Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) issued a relatively weak apology on Thursday after calling for Americans to “stop whining” and “get a job” on social media. Crenshaw’s comments were in response to an online debate, sparked by Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet, who shared that a college student had recently told him about a burrito costing $20, emphasizing, “It just feels like basic things cost too much.” “Just hearing about this dumb $20 burrito debate so just thought I’d make the losers on social media angry before going to bed,” wrote Crenshaw via X on Wednesday evening. “Stop whining, get a job, eat Ramen like the rest of us did in college, on a budget with 4 roommates. The market doesn’t care what you think something ‘should’ cost. Only communists care (they set prices remember? Then everyone starves, remember?) Are you a communist? Or are you an American adult male capable of handling his own sh*t?” he concluded. On Thursday, after setting his own comment section ablaze, Crenshaw addressed the criticism over his words, writing: Okay, I am SORRY for triggering the comment section. Of course the world is objectively harder than EVER, and while a $20 burrito is rare, the fact that it exists anywhere is obviously proof that capitalism has FAILED. lol no just kidding. Remember when the right had principles and made fun of leftists for elevating victimhood as a virtue? Want to tell people the truth? Or just bribe them for their vote in the next election? The Crenshaw story wasn’t the only news broken around this burrito debate. Fox News contributor and Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen responded to Kolvet’s initial social media post, writing, “Cry me a river. The burritos in the college cafeteria are included in your meal plan.” Vice President JD Vance then posted on X, “I’m surprised to hear Mark say this. If you’ve ever met him in person, it’s quite obvious the man has never missed a burrito.” The vice president has since defended his comments, stressing, “You’re allowed to be a little bit humorous.”The post House Republican Offers Half-Hearted Apology After Telling Americans to ‘Stop Whining’ and ‘Get a Job’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images A social media post by Sen. Ruben Gallego (R-AZ) saying he would “likely miss a few votes” sparked anxiety among those hoping to defeat acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s confirmation vote until he wrote a follow-up post reassuring that he would make sure to be present for that one. After several delays, the Senate Judiciary Committee did vote to advance Blanche’s confirmation on a party-line vote, but the GOP majority in the entire Senate is very narrow. With the Democrats unanimously opposing Blanche, Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) ongoing absence for health reasons, and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) announcing she would vote no, the Republicans can afford to lose only one more vote, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. Currently, both Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) have publicly expressed skepticism about Blanche and said they have not yet been persuaded to vote to approve him. If either votes no, his confirmation will fail to pass. But if a Democratic senator isn’t present for the vote, that lets Blanche lose a total of two Republicans. In other words, both holdouts from Louisiana and Alaska can give him the thumbs down and Vance’s tie-breaking vote would get him across the finish line. A tweet by Gallego Thursday, sharing that his wife “underwent an emergency appendectomy,” was met with immediate sympathy and well wishes for her recovery, but also many expressing concerns about the AG confirmation vote. Yesterday, my wife underwent an emergency appendectomy. While she is doing well, I will be home helping with recovery. During this time, I will likely miss a few votes and committee hearings. There’s still work to be done before the Senate departs for August recess, and my… — Ruben Gallego (@RubenGallego) August 6, 2026 “While she is doing well, I will be home helping with recovery,” wrote Gallego. “During this time, I will likely miss a few votes and committee hearings. There’s still work to be done before the Senate departs for August recess, and my office is still hard at work. I will be back on Capitol Hill as soon as I can be.” Punchbowl News congressional reporter Laura Weiss spelled out the math. If Sen. Gallego is out for Todd Blanche's confirmation vote, it significantly changes the math for Senate GOP leaders Right now, with Sen. McConnell out,… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Charlamagne Asks James Talarico Which Political Party ‘Would Be Most Uncomfort...Charlamagne Tha God asked Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) which party “would be most uncomfortable with” Jesus on Wednesday’s edition of The Breakfast Club. Talarico appeared alongside Charlamagne and co-host Angela Rye to discuss his U.S. Senate campaign. Fox News polling from last week shows Talarico leading Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton 51 to 48%, with 24% of non-MAGA Republicans saying they support the Democratic candidate. Throughout his campaign, Talarico has made headlines for his interpretation of his Christian faith, making clear he opposes Christian nationalism, which major figures in President Donald Trump’s administration — like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — subscribe to. On Wednesday, Charlamagne asked the state representative, “If Jesus came back today, which political party do you think would be most uncomfortable with him?” “I think both political parties would be deeply uncomfortable,” Talarico responded. “I think Jesus is far more, um, radical than any political party. And when I say radical, I don’t mean extreme. The word radical comes from the Latin word for ‘root.’ So, Jesus goes to the root of our problems, and he calls us to a deeper love, a deeper justice, a deeper peace, and so I think he would challenge both political parties to keep working toward a more radical vision for democracy — more rights, more opportunities for more of our neighbors.” Trump has been another outspoken critic of the way Talarico chooses to express his religion, telling reporters in May that he thinks Democrats have a “weird, a weird candidate,” in Texas, adding, “Six genders — a real hit on Jesus.” Here, the president is referencing comments circa-2021 from the Senate candidate, in which he claimed that “there are six” biological sexes. Also in 2021, Talarico shared his belief that “God is non-binary,” though he’s since called those remarks “cringey comments,” admitting he has “some” regret about making them.

- JD Vance Has No Regrets About Fat Joke Aimed at Fellow Republican: ‘I Feel Pre...Vice President JD Vance called into Hugh Hewitt’s Salem News Channel show on Thursday and defended his mean-tweet fat joke on Wednesday directed at Fox News contributor and Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen. “Yesterday you took a punch at Marc online from the burrito thing. So I’m curious, do you ever regret that night that you took a punch at a fellow Catholic in your parish?” Hewitt asked in a conversation about Vance’s new book, which is about his conversion to Catholicism. “You know, it was a joke, Hugh. I think there are ways in which you’re allowed to punch back, and you’re allowed to be a little bit humorous. I’m sure it was not as charitable as I should have been, but, you know, one thing is — look, I think he’s a good Catholic,” Vance replied, adding: I certainly wish him the best. I think he’s been a little unfair to me over the last couple of weeks, and so I decided to hit back with a little spice. I will say that if you read the Gospel, you know, Jesus has remarkable humility. He also has a remarkable way with words. And so I’m always going to fall short of that example, but I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with being a little spicy from time to time. And, you know, maybe in two years you’ll look back and say, “I wish I hadn’t said that,” but right now I feel pretty good about that. Vance jabbed Thiessen as part of an ongoing online conversation about the current price of burritos and people’s spending habits. Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet wrote on X to start the exchange, “One of our TPUSA college students gave me his take on affordability: ‘A burrito shouldn’t cost $20.’ Yeah, a lot of this is a hangover from Covid and Biden-era inflation, but the lived experience is the same: It just feels like basic things cost too much.” Thiessen replied, “Cry me a river. The burritos in the college cafeteria are included in your meal plan.” Vance then jumped in. “I’m surprised to hear Mark say this. If you’ve ever met him in person, it’s quite obvious the man has never missed a burrito,” he wrote. Vance’s post drew comments from across the political spectrum, with many on both the right and left arguing it was unbecoming of… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
