‘Almost diabolical’: Haley slammed for ‘ugly lies’ claiming left supports ‘the beheadings'

Former Trump UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, now polling in third place for the Republican presidential nomination, is claiming that "the left" is supporting "the beheadings" of Israeli children and the "1200" Israelis slaughtered by Hamas terrorists.

No elected Democrat has endorsed the terror attack on Israel, and Democrats have strongly supported Israel in the wake of the attacks. Republican 2024 presidential frontrunner Donald Trump Wednesday night "appeared to mock Israel," and "launched personal attacks against" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, according to The Times of Israel.

'Trump couldn't stand for that': MSNBC confirms petty reason for his attacks on Netanyahu

Donald Trump lashed out at Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a speech and Fox News appearance following brutal attacks by Hamas, and MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire confirmed the former president was nursing a personal grudge.

Trump told Fox News that Netanyahu had not been prepared for the attack, which seems to be the case, but boasted Israel would have been safe had he been president, and then alleged in a speech to supporters that the prime minister "let us down" during the 2020 drone strike killing of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani while also praising Hezbollah as "very smart."

Exclusive: Joe Exotic issues a warning to Donald Trump

The “Tiger King” has a warning about the realities of hard time for Donald Trump, who judges could potentially sentence to hundreds of years in prison if the former president is convicted on some or all of the 91 felony charges he faces across four indictments.

“He should know the food sucks, the medical care is pathetic … and if you're lucky you will find a decent man to fall in love with to look out for you! And then when you have the power again you might fix it all,” wrote Joe Exotic — real name Joseph Maldonado — in a hand-written response to an August letter that Raw Story sent to the Federal Medical Center, Fort Worth. Maldonado is serving a 21-year sentence at the Fort Worth, Texas federal prison for two counts of murder-for-hire related to alleged plans to kill his big cat rescue foe, Carole Baskin.

‘One of the dumbest things we’ve ever heard’: Critics blast Pence’s attack on Biden

Former Vice President Mike Pence came under fire Wednesday afternoon as he attacked President Joe Biden by telling Fox News what he claimed he would be doing to respond to the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel if he were President, only to have critics explain to him the Commander in Chief has already done those very things.

Pence, who has never served in the U.S. Armed Forces, declared, "I don’t know why @JoeBiden is doing press conferences in the Rose Garden talking about something other than America’s role as leader of the free world. If I was President of the United States, I’d have the team in the Situation Room and direct the Joint Special Operations Command to stand up special forces and have them immediately be prepared to deploy into Gaza."

Netanyahu's 'back to wall' amid public demand to crush Hamas

Benjamin Netanyahu's government had divided Israel with its controversial judicial reforms, but he now presides over a country which is united in its demand for a definitive reprisal against Hamas.

This sudden change in politics stems directly from the collective trauma caused to Israeli society by the bloody and unprecedented surprise attack by Hamas on Saturday, in which it killed at least 1,200 people and kidnapped dozens more.

'A stash you wouldn't believe': Trump whines media 'forgot' about cocaine in White House

Former President Donald Trump complained that the media is no longer covering the cocaine that was discovered in the White House earlier this summer, during his speech at the "Club 47" gathering in Florida on Wednesday.

Trump called the cocaine "a stash you wouldn't believe" — and sarcastically said he "believes" President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who has struggled with substance abuse, had nothing to do with the drugs, suggesting that White House staff are using the cocaine to make the president alert enough to do speeches and events.
