- Dave Portnoy Pours Cold Water on LeBron James’s Blockbuster Signing with 76ers...
Screenshot Dave Portnoy was quick to announce to the world Friday that he had no belief in LeBron James winning a championship with the Philadelphia 76ers. Earlier in the day, James shocked the sports world when he announced he’d end his career in Philadelphia. The 41-year-old signed a two-year, $8 million deal to join the 76ers for what will be his 24th and 25th seasons in the NBA. Moments after the news broke, Portnoy posted a video on X/Twitter to give his immediate reaction. Sitting in what appeared to be a private jet, the Barstool Sports founder explained that he was on his way to Saratoga but wanted to give his initial thoughts on the stunning move. A diehard Boston Celtics fan, Portnoy was elated that James chose Philadelphia and predicted that the team would not have much success. “I actually f*cking love it,” Portnoy said. “He’s trying to go do a super team. This team is not going to win! This team is not going to win! It’s gonna be f*cking delicious! It’s going to be delicious. You know that — what is that GIF of Cartman licking tears? When this team implodes, and there’s only one basketball, and Embiid has one tendonitis left, and LeBron is huffing and puffing and reading books, and being passive-aggressive — he is going to get booed out of Philly. He is! This guy is going to get booed out of Philly. And Philly, you know you hate this guy. You get exactly what you deserve. This impending implosion is going to be delicious!” HOLY SHIT – BRON BRON IN PHILLY….I LOVE IT! Do they know there is only 1 basketball? I cant wait till Sixers fans boo Lebron pic.twitter.com/BvT4HCcP3m — Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) July 24, 2026 With Portnoy being a Celtics fan, his disdain for all parties involved can be explained through multiple angles. Throughout his career, James has routinely run into the Celtics in the playoffs and has a sort of personal rivalry with the team. He now plays for the 76ers, another frequent opponent of the Celtics that actually eliminated them from the playoffs this past season. Once the season concluded, the Sixers then traded for Celtics star Jaylen Brown.The post Dave Portnoy Pours Cold Water on LeBron James’s Blockbuster Signing with 76ers: first appeared on Mediaite.

South Carolina will once again be the first state to host a Democratic presidential primary after winning a DNC committee vote on the issue by a wide margin. The state earned 26 votes in the Friday decision by the Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, video posted to C-SPAN showed, while Nevada earned 19 and New Hampshire four votes. Democratic National Committee panel votes for South Carolina to hold the first 2028 presidential primary contest: “So they will emerge as the first contest in a body of work that will have a plethora of good contests for these candidates to really vie for.” pic.twitter.com/zK89PyZF9z — CSPAN (@cspan) July 24, 2026 “As we stated earlier the majority vote count was to be 25 and it appears South Carolina has 26 so the will emerge as the first contest in a body of work that will have a plethora of good contests for these candidates to really vie for,” Minyon Moore, co-chair of the Rules and Bylaws Committee, said. The selection of South Carolina, which will be considered by the full DNC next month, was bolstered by the Supreme Court’s recent decisions weakening the Voting Rights Act, NBC News reported. The Supreme Court decision was widely criticized as weakening the political power of Black communities in the South. South Carolina became the first Democratic presidential primary contest to be held in 2024 after then President Joe Biden pushed for the move, a decision supported by Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC). The Friday vote was preceded by weeks of campaigning by representatives from South Carolina, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Iowa, who lobbied party leaders for the chance to be first in the nation for the 2028 primary battle, CNN said. The DNC’s Rules Committee also agreed to let three other states — Nevada, Michigan and New Hampshire — hold early primaries and may add two more, the network said.The post DNC Committee Votes to Make South Carolina First Presidential Primary State for 2028 first appeared on Mediaite.

The View’s Sunny Hostin broke with her co-hosts in favor of voter ID requirements as she warned they are a “slippery slope” to blatant racism. On Friday’s The View, the table debated the current push by President Donald Trump and some Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require a valid ID and proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. The legislation would also put new restrictions on mail-in voting. Critics on both sides of the aisle have argued the bill is too broad and would create a major hurdle for many voters ahead of the midterm elections. Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro both blasted the SAVE Act, but argued in favor of requiring ID to vote. Navarro said she lives in Florida, where it is required, and it’s a “non-issue.” Hostin asked how many states require voter ID, saying she believed it was five. Griffin and Navarro informed her in unison that it is “36.” Hostin argued broadly against voter ID laws, saying they remind her of past racist voter suppression efforts, like requiring Black people to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar during the Jim Crow era. She said: The reason I’m not in favor of the SAVE Act, in New York it’s not required to have any sort of ID to vote. I believe that it will disproportionately affect African Americans voters. I believe that in my soul and African Americans fought and died for the right to vote in this country. And I just — I think it’s a very slippery slope. If you know your history, it reminds me of having to count jelly beans in a jar. It reminds me of having to answer citizenship questions for Black people to vote and I am just not — I won’t support it. Navarro pushed back, saying there’s a difference between supporting voter ID and Trump’s legislation. “There’s a difference between Alyssa and I supporting voter ID requirements as opposed to supporting the SAVE Act. They are two different things,” she said. “Yeah, that’s very different,” Sara Haines agreed. “Because there’s a bunch of other stuff they’ve put in the SAVE Act that will make it much more difficult for everyone to vote,” Navarro added. “That’s true,” Hostin said, not compromising on her voter ID stance. “I believe that it’s a slippery slope.” Griffin argued the legislation and voter… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago - Karoline Leavitt Vows Trump’s Rescheduled WHCA Dinner Speech Will Be ‘Unifyi...White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt promised that President Donald Trump’s speech Friday night at the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner would be “unifying, yet vicious.” “The President’s speech will be a combination of unifying yet vicious, and serious yet hilarious, all at the same time, if you can imagine that,” Leavitt said. “One thing I can assure you, it will be entertaining.” On President Trump's remarks tonight at the White House Correspondents' Dinner: “The President’s speech will be a combination of unifying yet vicious, and serious yet hilarious, all at the same time, if you can imagine that. One thing I can assure you, it will be entertaining.”… — Jacqui Heinrich (@JacquiHeinrich) July 24, 2026 CNN played video of Trump’s comments after April’s dinner was nixed after a gunman opened fire in the lobby of the Washington Hilton: I was all set to really rip it, and I said to my people, this would be the most inappropriate speech ever made if I said so, I’ll have to save it. I don’t know if I could ever be as rough as I was going to be tonight. I think I’m going to be probably very nice. I’ll be very boring the next time. “But today’s new official White House preview, a quote ‘combination of unifying, yet vicious,'” CNN anchor Jim Sciutto said as he introduced media reporter Brian Stelter. “I mean, can you be unifying and vicious? I don’t get it.” “I’ve never heard a speech where someone’s unifying and vicious. But maybe we will tonight,” Stelter said. “This is definitely not going to be a ‘kumbaya moment,’ though. There’s no way it can be, because the tension is inescapable. The push and pull between the president and the press. It’s always there, but it’s, of course, much more heightened during Trump 2.0. This is a president who wants attention but rejects accountability. And so it always goes downhill in one way or another.” Stelter added: “Back in April, the president was briefly unifying after that shooting attempt. But the next day he tore into CBS correspondent Norah O’Donnell and called the press ‘terrible people,’ so that unifying moment lasted less than 24 hours. I don’t expect anything different this time around.” Stelter went on to give examples of the Trump administration’s assaults against the Fourth Estate, including the FCC challenging station licenses and… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago
- FCC Cancels California LPFM’s License
KMOB’s logo, from its Facebook page. The Federal Communications Commission has cancelled the license of a low power FM station in Clearlake, Calif., after a complainant alleged the station had ceased operations a decade ago. KMOB(LP) was licensed to Minds of Business, Inc., or MOB. The FCC sent a letter to the licensee this March, seeking information on its operational status. The letter went unanswered, according to the FCC’s notification of license cancellation. (Read the FCC’s cancellation letter sent to KMOB.) Records maintained by the California Secretary of State show that the California Franchise Tax Board suspended MOB on Sept. 2, 2003, according to the FCC. The business had an address in Clearlake, which is located approximately 120 miles north of San Francisco. According to FCC filings, the station’s construction permit was granted in June 2003, with subsequent renewals granted in 2007 and 2013. The most recent license renewal application was filed in 2021. The application was prepared by LPFM engineering consultant John Broomall. The FCC issued a forfeiture order for $1,500 against MOB in 2022 for failing to timely file a license renewal application for KMOB. It’s not clear from FCC records if the forfeiture amount was ever paid. Broomall told Radio World that he fell out of communication with KMOB officials after the 2021 renewal application was filed. The station’s application was subsequently dismissed the same day as the license revocation, according to the FCC database. In its letter of operational status inquiry sent earlier this year, the FCC asked MOB to provide a “narrative statement” to indicate the station’s operational status between Nov. 26, 2021, and the date of the letter, which was March 12, 2026. For the same time period, MOB also was asked to submit copies of all leases (i.e., tower, land or building leases necessary to operate the station), personnel records, engineering records and station records, including EAS logs. In addition, MOB was told to provide copies of monthly accounting records relating to the station’s operation, as well as copies of all utility bills. The FCC also asked for dated pictures of the station’s transmission facilities during that timeframe. The commission asked the licensee to provide an affidavit from the person who took the photographs that describes what is depicted in each photograph, the date and location of each photo. MOB’s failure to respond within 45 days of the FCC’s inquiry triggered… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago - YouTube (Alphabet) exceeds Q2 expectations for ad revenue
