Michael Phelps Approach To Olympic Gold: “Rule Yourself”

Check this awesome video salute to the incredible effort and work ethic that Olympic golden boy Michael Phelps knocks out on a daily basis in this new “Rule Yourself” campaign from Under Armour.

Work, weight room, diet, daily sacrifice are all components of the 23-time Olympic gold medal winner’s incredible investment in his sport.

With an equally inspiring tagline to match: “It’s what you do in the dark, that puts you in the light.”

Trump Campaign Reps Push Back Via Deflection In Sunday Interviews

It was a rough day at the office for Donald Trump spokesmen on the Sunday morning political shows as the Republican nominee’s campaign devolves into disarray.

Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort clashed with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Trump’s non-disclosed tax returns, the Trumpster’s inability to stay on message and more.

Via Mediaite:

Tapper pointed out that Trump was the one who took his message off the rails with that message people interpreted to be a violent warning. Manafort complained to Tapper that he could have been covering pay-for-play allegations surrounding Clinton.

In response, Tapper said he has covered that, and he even told Manafort, “These things, just because you say them, they’re not true! We have been covering the substance!”

Manafort insisted the media’s distracting away from the message. Tapper asked, “And Mr. Trump bears no responsibility for his campaign being off-message?”

CNN’s Brian Stetler asks Trump Senior Communications Advisor Jason Miller about the Trumpster’s attack on the New York Times and the media at large.

Also from Mediaite:

Miller spent the first part of the segment complaining about the New York Times report on internal campaign chaos––a report Trump has trashed––and going so far as to say, “I wish people would cancel their subscriptions to The New York Times.”

Stelter asked him if this isn’t just an example of a true story that’s just “painful to read.” Miller insisted the campaign is unified.

Rio Olympics: Ryan Lochte & 3 Other US Swimmers Robbed At Gun Point

From NBC News:

U.S. Olympic swimmers Ryan Lochte, Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen were robbed at gunpoint while in Rio de Janeiro overnight Saturday, NBC News has confirmed.

Following conflicting reports — including the IOC denying any incident took place — Lochte himself confirmed with TODAY’s Billy Bush that he and the other swimmers were robbed at gunpoint.

“We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over,” Lochte said. “They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground — they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didn’t do anything wrong, so — I’m not getting down on the ground.

“And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, “Get down,” and I put my hands up, I was like ‘whatever.’ He took our money, he took my wallet — he left my cell phone, he left my credentials.”

An IOC spokesman originally denied the story before reversing itself.

Lochte is a 12-time Olympic medalist (six gold), winning gold at the Rio Olympics in the 4×200-meter freestyle relay.

Electoral Map: If Colorado, Virginia, Pennsylvania & New Hampshire Go Blue

Huffington Post’s Sam Stein posits via Twitter that “If you assume that Colo, Va, Pennsylvania and NH are off the board — as #s suggest — then the election’s over.”

Recent polls show Hillary Clinton ahead in those vital swing states by an average of 11%, 8%, 9% and 8% respectively according to Real Clear Politics.

That takes Clinton to 273, past the winning 270 mark, without electoral vote rich states Florida or Ohio.

It’s notable, however, that Clinton currently leads in those states as well by smaller margins of about 3%. The latest CBS News Battleground Tracker poll puts Clinton up by 5% in Florida.

Super-stats guy Nate Silver currently puts Clinton’s odds of winning the White House at almost 89%.

Donald Trump Goes Full Twitter Tirade Against “Corrupt Media”

Beginning with the “failing” New York Times and eventually encompassing all “corrupt media,” Republican Donald Trump went on a Twitter tirade about what he feels is unfair reporting on behalf of his presidential campaign when the media repeats what he says word for word.

It all began with an article by the New York Times which interviewed 20 prominent Republicans who described Trump’s campaign as flailing in “a dire predicament.”

Nearly two months later, the effort to save Mr. Trump from himself has plainly failed. He has repeatedly signaled to his advisers and allies his willingness to change and adapt, but has grown only more volatile and prone to provocation since then, clashing with a Gold Star family, making comments that have been seen as inciting violence and linking his political opponents to terrorism.

Advisers who once hoped a Pygmalion-like transformation would refashion a crudely effective political showman into a plausible American president now increasingly concede that Mr. Trump may be beyond coaching. He has ignored their pleas and counsel as his poll numbers have dropped, boasting to friends about the size of his crowds and maintaining that he can read surveys better than the professionals.

In private, Mr. Trump’s mood is often sullen and erratic, his associates say. He veers from barking at members of his staff to grumbling about how he was better off following his own instincts during the primaries and suggesting he should not have heeded their calls for change.

In now “classic Trump” mode, the GOP nominee began vomiting his bile out into the Twitterverse.

Trump Spokesperson: Obama Started The Afghanistan War

As we all know, the U.S. war in Afghanistan began October 7, 2001, when President George W. Bush launched what was then known as “Operation Enduring Freedom” with the UK.

That war lasted 13 years, 2 months and 3 weeks, until December 28, 2014, NATO formally ended combat operations in Afghanistan.

Now that we have actual history facts out of the way, someone please send this information to Donald Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson who appeared on CNN today and told the world that President Obama “took the U.S. into Afghanistan.”

The comment came as Pierson was trying to explain that Donald Trump’s “sarcastic/not so sarcastic” remarks about Obama being the “founder of ISIS.

From Mediaite:

Remember how Pierson blamed Obama for Captain Humayun Khan‘s death in 2004?

Well, on CNN this morning, as she was arguing with anchor Victor Blackwell about Trump’s “founder of ISIS” remark, Pierson actually said, “Remember, we weren’t even in Afghanistan by this time. Barack Obama went into Afghanistan, creating another problem.”

Blackwell asked, “You’re saying Barack Obama took the country into Afghanistan post-2009?” Pierson said, “That was Obama’s war, yes.”

To be honest, I don’t know which is more shocking – Pierson’s woeful understanding of history or the fact that she actually gets paid to represent a presidential candidate.

Colton Haynes Covers OUT Magazine

Teen Wolf and Arrow star Colton Haynes opens up on several intimately personal topics in a new interview with OUT Magazine plus a new Bruce Weber inspired photo shoot.

Why he took so long to publicly come out:

“I feel really bad that I had to lie for so long. But I was told that was the only way I was going to be successful. When you’re young in this industry, people take advantage of you, and they literally tell you that your dreams are going to come true. If you believe that, you’ll do anything. And you do believe it, especially if you’re from Kansas.”

On his dad’s passing:

“I’m the last person in the world who would say, ‘Oh, my dad—pity me,’” says Haynes, whose father, seven times married, split from Dana and was never close with him. “But I was told that my dad killed himself because he found out I was gay. So, of course, I lost it and was like, ‘How could you say something like that?’ And no one will ever really know the truth. But my brother and my mom went to pick up my dad’s stuff, and the only picture on his fridge was my eighth-grade graduation picture. So I was just like, Fuck.”

Regrets over trying to scrub the internet of his now infamous XY Magazine photo shoot:

“All I remember is, I was so excited to do that photo shoot. ‘This is it! I’m going to be in a magazine!’ I truly thought it was going to be this serious moment in my career, and I knew it would earn me enough money to get to L.A.”

What Haynes didn’t expect was that the XY photo shoot would follow him (“It was everywhere,” he says) and eventually become the most unimpeachable evidence against a closeted celebrity in recent memory. Around the time he landed his breakthrough role on Teen Wolf in 2011, Haynes was taking the heat for efforts by his team to wipe the XY shots from the Internet.

“I looked like I was fucking gay-bashing,” he says. “Like I hated myself or I hated the gays, which was never the intention at all. I was just young and trying to make it in this town and doing what these people were telling me to do.”

The article also covers the launch of Haynes’ new merchandise site and the last time he had sex (or not).
