Nikki Haley's son accuses Ohio Republican of 'sleazy' long con

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's son took to X on Tuesday to lash out at Vivek Ramaswamy, the biotech businessman turned Department of Government Efficiency adviser who is now running for governor of Ohio as a Republican with President Donald Trump's endorsement.

Both Haley and Ramaswamy are American-born citizens of Indian ancestry, and both ran for president against Trump in 2024 before falling in line behind his campaign. Haley's son Nalin has positioned himself even farther to the right of his mother, calling for the H-1B visa program to be severely curtailed and even advocating naturalized citizens be barred from public office.

Trump has painted himself into a corner with his Fed demands: WSJ

Donald Trump has delayed announcing his Federal Reserve chair nominee, creating complications for Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's search process.

According to the Wall Street Journal reporters Nick Timiraos and Meridith McGraw, Bessent faces constraints because Trump seeks "a new chair who will pursue his demands for lower interest rates while still commanding enough credibility on Wall Street and from his colleagues to deliver them."

Fox News buried in mockery as panel bizarrely defends villain in 'A Few Good Men'

Internet observers on Thursday mocked a bizarre Fox News meltdown in which a panel of co-hosts complained that Hollywood decided to portray Jack Nicholson's character in "A Few Good Men" as the antagonist.

Nicholson's Colonel Nathan Jessup is the main antagonist in the film, serving as a commanding officer at Guantanamo Bay whose order leads to a Marine's death, triggering the central court-martial plot. Jessup dominates key scenes, including an iconic courtroom outburst in which Nicholson blurts out, "You can't handle the truth!"

GOP insider fears Trump's struggling 'brand' may never recover

Although President Donald Trump has been a very divisive figure in U.S. politics, he has also been incredibly resilient politically. Trump, in 2024, was facing four criminal indictments, one of which found him being convicted on 34 felony counts. Yet he handily defeated a long list of prominent Republicans in the 2024 GOP presidential primary —including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley — before enjoying a narrow victory over Democratic then-Vice President Kamala Harris in the general election.

Trump's victory wasn't the "landslide" he claims it is; it was a close election, and he won the popular vote by roughly 1.5 percent. Nonetheless, 2024 underscored his ability to bounce back politically when critics are writing his political obituary.
