- Enough Is Enough
(Photo by Krisztian Elek / SOPA Images/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) Last week, the United States extracted a foreign leader by military force without congressional authorization, federal agents shot a protester and were immediately defended before investigation, and the president threatened additional unilateral military action. Taken together, they describe a presidency operating on the assumption that no one will intervene. That expectation is the point. The Venezuela operation raised clear constitutional questions about war powers, but its significance goes beyond process. For decades, American foreign policy has rested on the idea that power is constrained by law, alliances, and institutional consent. Acting unilaterally, extracting foreign leaders by force, and threatening further military action without congressional involvement replaces that framework with something more destabilizing. It signals that force, rather than legitimacy, is becoming the organizing principle. That shift undermines U.S. credibility with allies and accelerates a global environment in which restraint… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.44 mins ago - ‘A New Low’: Viewers Trash Golden Globes for Displaying Polymarket Odds Throughout Award Show
(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello) Many viewers of Sunday’s Golden Globes were left irate as the award show displayed Polymarket odds on potential winners throughout the night. Two days earlier, it was reported that the Golden Globes signed a partnership with the prediction market. As part of that deal, the show would broadcast “real-time market-driven insights.” On Sunday, it became the first live program to include prediction odds. During the show, the emcees periodically brought up live odds for upcoming awards. This was accompanied by on-screen data showing nominees for a specific award and their respective chances to win that award. Those percentages were based largely on user predictions, and those predictions were also displayed at the venue. #sponsored | Make your @GoldenGlobes predictions now on @Polymarket #polymarketpartner pic.twitter.com/9n4A1Fq4Z9 — Variety (@Variety) January 12, 2026 For those growing tired of the rise of online betting, the sight of live prediction… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.55 mins ago - Trump Shouts Out Mark Zuckerberg for Handing His Ex-NatSec Adviser a Top Job at Meta
(Photo by Tony Behar/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) (AP/Alex Brandon) President Donald Trump was quick to applaud Mark Zuckerberg after Meta appointed one of his former national security advisers to a top role in the company – the second high-profile hire from Trump’s orbit in just a few weeks. Meta announced on Monday that Dina Powell McCormick will become its new president and vice chair, placing her inside the company’s senior management team with a remit to help steer corporate strategy and execution. Trump swiftly welcomed the move and celebrated on Truth Social: Congratulations to DINA POWELL MCCORMICK, WHO HAS JUST BEEN NAMED THE NEW PRESIDENT OF META. A great choice by Mark Z!!! She is a fantastic, and very talented, person, who served the Trump Administration with strength and distinction! President DJT Powell McCormick previously served as deputy national security adviser during Trump’s first administration after having held senior… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - ‘I Love You for Not Being Here’: Wanda Sykes Shades Ricky Gervais Over Anti-Trans Jokes While Ac...
Comedian Wanda Sykes threw shade at comedian Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes on Sunday, accepting his award for best performance in stand-up comedy on his behalf while thanking “God and the trans community.” Sykes presented the award while sporting a pin that read “Be Good” in reference to Renee Good, the U.S. citizen shot to death by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week. Sykes began presenting the award by mocking one the nominees, Bill Maher, who glared up at her from the audience as she told him to “try less.” After ripping a few other contenders for the prize, Sykes turned to her attention to Gervais, a five-time Golden Globes host who chose not to attend the show this year. “Ricky Gervais, I love you for not being here,” Sykes said to the crowd. “No, I love you Ricky but because if you win, I get to accept the award… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Smithsonian Strips Mention of Trump’s Impeachments in New Portrait Display
AP Photo/Rod Lamkey, Jr. The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery removed text referring to President Donald Trump’s impeachments when it replaced his portrait in an exhibition of U.S. presidents last week. The previous portrait of Trump shown in the gallery’s “America’s Presidents” exhibition included accompanying text describing Trump’s career and time in office– a similar format to the wall text descriptions of other presidential portraits in the gallery. The text included the lines: “Impeached twice, on charges of abuse of power and incitement of insurrection after supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, he was acquitted by the Senate in both trials.” But when the previous portrait was replaced on Thursday with one taken by White House photographer Daniel Torok, all accompanying text was removed, save identifying Trump’s birth year and naming him as the 45th and 47th president. Trump is the only president whose display in the gallery did… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘Do Less!’ Bill Maher Glares at Wanda Sykes as She Mocks Him at Golden GlobesBill Maher glared at comedian Wanda Sykes as she openly mocked him at the Golden Globes on Sunday, telling him to “do less” in 2026. Sykes was presenting the award for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television when she pointedly opened up on some of the nominees. “There’s some people pissed off that a queer Black woman is up here doing the job of two mediocre white guys,” she said, before adding: “But first I want to give them some love.” Maher, nominated for his HBO special Is Anyone Else Seeing This?, was first up as Sykes delivered a cutting line: “You give us so much. But I would love a little less. Just try less.” The camera immediately found Maher, who appeared unimpressed as the room laughed around him. Maher, an outspoken liberal, has spent the past year advocating for the left building bridges with MAGA and… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
