CNN’s Michael Smerconish avoided repeating a line from Sen. John Fetterman (R-PA) slamming “Jew-hating sh*theads” who are planning an antisemitic protest ride against various Philadelphia businesses own by Jewish people. Smerconish noted on his Saturday show that the bike ride, which is mainly organized by Philly Bike On Your Left, is being done on the eve of the 88th anniversary of “Kristallnacht” or the “Night of Broken Glass,” a night in which Jewish citizens in Germany saw their businesses and synagogues torched while tens of thousands were taken to concentration camps. The organizers behind this bike ride claim they are not antisemitic, but “anti-zionist.” A flyer for their bike ride includes the names of multiple Jewish-owned businesses, including a mac and cheese shop and a deli, with those names crossed out. The organizers said these “zionist establishments must go.” Smerconish said: The organizers say this is about zionism, not Judaism. Fine, then explain what a pastrami sandwich has to do with Gaza. As one local jewish leader put it, the only thing these owners have in common is that they’re jewish. The first amendment protects plenty of ugly speech. This is some of the ugliest that I’ve seen. But I’m not asking anybody to stop them. While the law may let them ride, it doesn’t require the rest of us to stayuiet while they do. And by the way, I predict the counter-protesters will outnumber the riders. One can hope. Smerconish later read a statement from Fetterman when running through social media reactions to the show. “Hamas lovin’, Jew-hating sh*theads on wheels,” Fetterman wrote. Smerconish showed the comment and chuckled, but avoided throwing out such language himself on the air. “Do I need to read it? I’m happy to read it, but there it is from Sen. Fetterman. Thank you, senator,” the CNN host said. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) and other state officials have slammed the bike rise as blatantly antisemitic. “The bike ride, masquerading as a protest to advance the cause of justice, is nothing more than blatant antisemitism designed to intimidate and drive Jewish businesses out of our communities,” the governor said in a statement. “There is no place for that in our Commonwealth.” Watch above via CNN.The post ‘Do I Need to Read It?’ Smerconish Avoids Repeating Fetterman’s ‘Jew-Hating Sh*theads’ Viewer Comment on Air first appeared on Mediaite.

(AP Photo/Lindsey Wasson) President Donald Trump declared Saturday that the Alaska Senate race was over, when it clearly was not, due to the state’s ranked-choice voting. Trump posted to Truth Social, “Daniel Sullivan is leading substantially in the Alaska Senatorial Race. When you add Daniel (3,600, 1.68%) into Dan, and Gerald Heikes (4,846, 2.27%), Senator Dan Sullivan is up by thousands of Votes.” “Remember, Heikes was also fraudulently put into the Race,” Trump continued. I don’t know what takes so long to announce his win. This should be immediate! Anyone voting for Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr., a man who tried to change his middle initial, but was unable to get it done in time, and who was otherwise nonpolitical – Never even voted – is a vote for Senator Dan Sullivan. The Alaska Race is OVER. Dan Sullivan WON, BY A LOT! President DONALD J. TRUMP Trump’s declaration of victory was premature. As of Saturday, the Alaska Senate race has not been called and Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), has not been declared the winner. As of Saturday afternoon, Rep. (D-AK), led Sullivan 48.17% to 47.88%. Tens of thousands of ballots still remain outstanding, according to Alaska Public Media, because the state accepts absentee ballots that arrive after Election Day. In addition, Alaska uses ranked-choice voting that requires a candidate to receive more than 50% of the vote before second and third choices are factored in. The ranked-choice tabulation is scheduled for November 18, which means the final outcome may not be known for another 11 days. Prior to the election, the Trump administration tried to keep Alaska from certifying the election if Peltola wins, arguing that Democrats cheated by finding a second “Dan Sullivan” to put on the ballot to “confuse” voters, but a judge dismissed the suit. On Thursday, Trump also declared that incumbent Sen. Daniel Sullivan (R-AK) should be named the winner. “The vote totals for the Fake Dan Sullivan, plus the other ‘slug’ that the Dems put on the Ballot, should be immediately given to the REAL Dan Sullivan, and the Election is over – He easily wins,” Trump wrote. “There is no other fair solution!”The post Donald Trump Claims ‘The Alaska Race is OVER’ And ‘Dan Sullivan WON, BY A LOT!’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Eisenkot and Netanyahu ran neck-and-neck in the recent elections, and Israel’s President Isaac Herzog has now chosen Eisenkot to form the next government. CNN’s Aaron David Miller explained why that’s easier said than done: This isn’t too much of a surprise announcement — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s main rival, Gadi Eisenkot, had a majority of the incoming Knesset support of him — but it still is a major development here. It puts Netanyahu essentially going second, and only if Eisenkot, the former military chief of staff, cannot form a government. Now, that’s not a definite thing. That is the challenge ahead for Gadi Eisenkot. He has 67 out of 120 seats backing him. On paper, this shouldn’t be all that difficult. In reality, it will be very difficult, and that’s because of the diversity of the block and the parties supporting him. Its left-wing parties, right-wing parties, centrist parties, and then a third of that 67, 19 seats, is Arab parties that had record voter turnout and record representation. And that’s what he has to figure out how to make work. One of the key parties here, the right-wing Yisrael Beiteinu party, has said they don’t want a minority government supported by the Arab parties, and that creates difficulties and complications for Gadi Eisenkot if he wants to oust Netanyahu. Miller said that Eisenkot has up to six weeks to form his government, and the clock starts tomorrow. Netanyahu had asked U.S. President Donald Trump to be more vocal in his support of the Israeli prime minister, but Trump’s best effort was a Truth Social post, in which he wrote, “Please let this Letter serve to represent my Complete and Total Endorsement of Bibi Netanyahu in his upcoming Race for Re-Election as Prime Minister of Israel. BIBI NETANYAHU WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post Netanyahu Rival Gadi Eisenkot Tasked With Forming a New Coalition Government in Israel first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot via HBO Bill Maher had to assure his audience he wasn’t making anything up when sharing a story about a busted sex trafficking ring that included a Mickey Mouse Disney actor with a “diaper fetish.” On Friday’s Real Time, Maher took a small break from politics in the middle of the show to share some news about his former employer, Disney (his show Politically Incorrect was dropped by Disney-owned ABC in 2022). “I take no joy in this just because they fired me once,” Maher said. He first noted that in May, 27 cruise ship workers, some of them working for Disney, were arrested for child pornography. He then assured his stunned audience he wasn’t making things up when he shared the story of new sex trafficking arrests involving Disney. Maher continued: This is just last week, 13 Disney World workers arrested for human trafficking, child predator operation…one was dressed as Mickey. He was a Mickey in the park and he had a diaper fetish. I’m not making this up. It’s always the people who are most wholesome who…you know…Mormons is what I’m saying. Anyway, I don’t know what’s going on at Disney, but it looks like it might have affected the movie division because we see some of the new slate of movies and it’s a little oversexualized. He then ran through a number of joke titles to movies like Seeping Booty instead of Sleeping Beauty. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd announced this week that 281 people were arrested in an undercover investigation into sex trafficking, and a total of 17 worked for either Disney World or Universal Studios. The investigation led to 239 arrests related to prostitution, 31 arrests related to child sexual predators, and more, according to police. One of the arrests was that of Collin Klaco, a former Walt Disney World Mickey Mouse character actor, who exchanged lewd messages with an undercover detective. When he was arrested he was found with multiple backpacks full of diapers and he was described as having a “diaper fetish.” He did not work for Disney at the time of his arrest.The post Bill Maher Assures Audience ‘I’m Not Making This Up’ as He Reveals ‘Diaper Fetish’ Mickey Mouse Actor Caught in Disney Trafficking Sting first appeared on Mediaite.

(AP Photo/Vahid Salemi, File) A top Iranian security officially mercilessly mocked several members of the Trump administration in a scathing social media post, rattling them off one by one before pointedly asking who in Washington they should speak to about ending the conflict. Mohsen Rezaei, Iran’s secretary of its Supreme National Security Council, took to X to mock Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Centcom commander U.S. Admiral Brad Cooper. “You lost the war and the election,” Rezaei wrote Saturday on the social media platform. “Vance has conceded, Rubio is heading for the exit, Hegseth is about to be fired, and the CENTCOM commander is now a podcaster!” he quipped. “So٫Who exactly in Washington do we need to get this message across to? Start a war, and you’ll face a devastating response.” Vance made headlines this week when he followed up on the Republican party’s absolutely disastrous showing in the Tuesday midterm elections with a lengthy social media post blaming the unpopular war in Iran for the GOP’s horrific results. Hegseth has been repeatedly mentioned as a target for either impeachment once the Democrats, who notched sweeping victories from coast to coast, or firing by President Donald Trump. Rubio has been forced to deny a report he was leaving the administration. And Cooper’s podcast, Inside Centcom, launched this week despite the incredibly unpopular Iran war being listed as a main reason the Republicans lost the elections so badly. Meanwhile, another Iranian official insisted Saturday the country’s military — which Trump insists at every turn for months has been “destroyed” — is “stronger” since the United States and Israel launched airstrikes against them more than eight months ago, on Feb. 28. Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said Iran’s forces “are on higher alert and are stronger than they were at the beginning of the war,” according to the Agence France Press. The boasting comes as the United States has made moves critics say are at odds with the confidence Trump projects about the conflict. While Trump has dismissed Iran as devastated and lacking military resources since Operation Epic Fury began, on Friday the State Department announced a $20 million reward for information about Iran’s nuclear program, offering “possible relocation” to those who gave information. The move was mocked by critics quick to point out Trump’s repeated claims. “WTF???” Piers Morgan wrote on X.… [TheTopNews] Read More.17 hours ago - JUST IN: Trump Says He’s Offered White House Press Secretary Job to UFC Head D...
Screenshot President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Saturday that he’s offered the role of White House press secretary to UFC head Dana White. Trump described White, a longtime friend and ally, as a “violent fighter and warrior” and included an image of him in the White House press room. He also joked White should bring his “assistants” with him, meaning mixed martial artists. The president wrote: I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States. I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris. We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job! President DONALD J. TRUMP The administration has been without a White House press secretary since Karoline Leavitt left the position at the end of August except for a brief five day stint with Katie Zacharia. Reports have suggested names like CNN’s Scott Jennings as a replacement, but no one has replaced Zacharia. White, who organized a UFC fight event over the summer at the White House, has long described Trump as a friend and an early supporter of the UFC sports league. White told Katie Miller, wife of House House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, in May that he doesn’t “give a sh*t” if his close association to Trump has lost him any business. “You’ve been openly supportive of President Trump for a long time. Has that ever cost UFC any business either domestically or abroad?” Miller asked White. “I don’t give a sh*t,” he declared, adding he only wants to do business with “people that I’m aligned with.” This is a breaking story and it has been updated.The post JUST IN: Trump Says He’s Offered White House Press Secretary Job to UFC Head Dana White first appeared on Mediaite.
