I’m not sure what’s more damning – that there seems to be more evidence that a tape exists with Donald Trump using the N-word, or that his supplicants publicly denied a conversation took place (that you can now hear with your own ears) where they discuss how to ‘spin’ the incident.
Listen below.
POTUS says former White House staffer @Omarosa lied when she called him a racist who has said the N-word on tape. But a new recording, obtained by @CBSNews overnight, seems to back up Omarosa’s story that several Trump advisers discussed an alleged tape during the 2016 campaign. pic.twitter.com/tV3R6P2TvE
According to the New York Daily News, Donald Trump was uber-angry at his junior namesake for releasing emails about his Trump Tower meeting with a Russian government attorney.
President Trump blasted his firstborn son as a “f–kup” after learning he had released emails about a controversial Trump Tower meeting attended by a Kremlin-connected lawyer who had promised dirt on Hillary Clinton, according to Omarosa Manigault Newman’s forthcoming book.
Manigault Newman, who was unceremoniously fired from the White House last December, says the President erupted in anger after she met with him last July and told him she was “sorry to hear” Donald Trump Jr. had posted screengrabs on Twitter of his email exchanges with British publicist Rob Goldstone.
“He is such a f–kup,” Trump said of his son, according to Manigault Newman’s tell-all book, a copy of which was obtained by the Daily News. “He screwed up again, but this time, he’s screwing us all, big-time!” A White House spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment. A spokesman for Trump Jr. did not immediately respond either.
Just hours after former White House aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman appeared on television playing recorded conversations with the president, Donald Trump lashed out at the woman who he has repeatedly hired over and over since the beginning on his reality TV show, The Apprentice.
Referring to Omarosa as “nasty” and “mean” (then why did he hire her so often?), Trump tweeted that she was “hated” in the White House for being “vicious.”
Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time. She never made it, never will. She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart. I would rarely see her but heard….
…really bad things. Nasty to people & would constantly miss meetings & work. When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems. I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me – until she got fired!
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a former presidential opponent of Donald Trump, recently made some television appearances underscoring the very, very narrow win by Republican Troy Balderson in Ohio’s 12th Congressional District, whom Donald Trump endorsed.
Pointing to Balderson’s less-than-1-percent advantage over Democrat Danny O’Connor, Kasich made the case that the slim margin was due to Trump’s constant “chaos” which has become a turn-off for moderate suburban women in last Tuesday’s special election.
Trump slapped back at Kasich on Twitter, and Kasich didn’t pause to throw some shade of his own with a laughing Putin gif.
The very unpopular Governor of Ohio (and failed presidential candidate) @JohnKasich hurt Troy Balderson’s recent win by tamping down enthusiasm for an otherwise great candidate. Even Kasich’s Lt. Governor lost Gov. race because of his unpopularity. Credit to Troy on the BIG WIN!
After yesterday’s reveal of a conversation where White House Chief of Staff appears to be firing former White House aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman in the Situation Room of the White House, today she shared a telephone conversation with the president himself.
Allegedly recorded the day after she was fired, in the conversation Trump appears to have no knowledge his former reality show star had been fired.
Omarosa Manigault Newman, the former “Apprentice” contestant who became a White House aide, has provided an audio recording that she says is from 2017 and on which President Donald Trump expresses surprise that she’d been fired from his administration. The tape, which was played exclusively Monday on “Today,” appears to show Trump having no idea that Newman had been dismissed by his Chief of Staff John Kelly.
“Omarosa? Omarosa what’s going on? I just saw on the news that you’re thinking about leaving? What happened?” Trump is heard saying on the tape, which Newman said was made one day after her termination in December 2017 when Trump called her. “You know they run a big operation, but I didn’t know it,” Trump is heard saying on the tape. “I didn’t know that. Goddamn it. I don’t love you leaving at all.”

‘Bad Boy On Probation’ is the third installment of the comedy web series that has almost a million views on YouTube.
“Mack (Tony Harth) gets his “Daddy Scott” (Artie O’Daly) to pretend to be his real dad when a probation officer (Alina Bock) comes for a check in. But Scott gets more than he bargained for.”
I’ve previously shared the earlier “Bad Boy” videos here.
Franklin, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2010, turned 76 in March. Her last performance was on November 2, 2017 for the Elton John AID Foundation in New York and her public performance occurred at the Philadelphia’s Mann Center last August.
Franklin has struggled with weight issues throughout her life and has battle alcoholism and was a chain smoker for a large part of it.
Rolling Stone once named Franklin the number 1 singer of all time. The American singer and songwriter began her career while still a child singing gospel music at the New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, where her father was a minister.
In 1960, Franklin was signed to Columbia Records where she only achieved modest success. It wasn’t until she signed with Atlantic Records in 1967 that she acheived commercial success with songs like “Respect,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” and “Think.” By the end of the 1960s, she had become known as the “Queen of Soul.”
In this lip-sync video challenge, viewers get a peek into the music video dreams of the Paris Fire Department in Texas.
From Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” to Imagine Dragons’ “Thunder” (under pouring rain, of course) to Aqua’s 1997 hit “Barbie Girl,” its a fun ride watching hunky firemen live their video dreams.
Former reality show personality and White House aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman has shared that she recorded conversations during her time at the White House including her own firing.
Former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman released an alleged audio recording of her firing by Chief of Staff John Kelly in the White House Situation Room during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday.
While the White House stated that Omarosa resigned back in December, it was an open secret at the time that she had actually been fired by Kelly — allegedly causing a scene upon her departure from the White House grounds.
Omarosa! I hear you mentioned me on Meet The Press. Don’t reference me or use my name. Keep my name out of your mouth. You have done enough. Your lies and crazy behavior are catching up to you. Can you say National Security breach? Lawyer up!
If Omarosa could record the Chief of Staff in one of the most secretive of places in the world, there’s no way career Russian spies haven’t infiltrated the White House or Donald Trump’s unsecured cell phone…
Kathleen Turner, who starred in hit after hit movie in the 80s and 90s – Body Heat, Prizzi’s Honor, Peggy Sue Got Married, The War of the Roses, Romancing the Stone, The Jewel of the Nile – recently shared as only she can in an excellent interview with Vulture.
Along the way, the outspoken actress was asked about her time guesting on the biggest sitcom of all time, Friends, where she played the father of Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry). At the time, the approach was highly criticized by the LGBTQ community as homophobic and transphobic.
Apparently, she didn’t feel the cast was “there” for her.
“I’ll be quite honest, which is my wont: I didn’t feel very welcomed by the cast,” Turner says. “I remember I was wearing this difficult sequined gown — and my high heels were absolutely killing me. I found it odd that none of the actors thought to offer me a seat. Finally it was one of the older crew members that said, ‘Get Miss Turner a chair.’”
“The Friends actors were such a clique — but I don’t think my experience with them was unique,” the actress shared. “I think it was simply that they were such a tight little group that nobody from the outside mattered.”
Asked how she viewed the sitcom stars as actors and actresses: “I won’t comment on that.”
It’s a fabulously unfiltered interview. Highly suggested for your reading pleasure.
