Several people reportedly wrote on social networks that this was one of the worst performances of the American national anthem in a very long time. Others described the performance as brutal.
The day after her disastrous performance, the young woman posted on her social networks that the cause of this collection of false notes was alcohol. Indeed, she mentioned being completely drunk and heading to a rehab center for therapy to deal with her problem.

“I should not be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” he said in the interview.

Trump explained how he narrowly escaped, turning his head to read a chart about illegal immigrants at the start of his speech. According to him, that’s why the bullet missed.
In fact, the bullet only grazed his ear. He claimed that he should have died then, but that either by luck or divine intervention he was still alive: “By luck or by God, a lot of people say it’s by God, I’m still here.”

According to the New York Post, Trump was quoted as saying that the doctor who treated him at the local hospital also described his survival as miraculous, adding that it was almost impossible to see anyone survive a head wound from an AR-15.

Whether the charges against the former president will be reissued in this case is impossible to know at this time. This unexpected victory certainly took everyone by surprise.

Doherty’s legacy goes beyond acting. Olivia Munn, who had herself been diagnosed with cancer, had received Shannen’s immediate support.
JD Vance will celebrate his 40th birthday in August. He contrasts with Trump (78) and Joe Biden (81).
If elected, JD Vance will be the third-youngest vice president in U.S. history.

Vance’s youth and background as a Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War bring both vigor, as well as military experience, to the ticket. Vance, who is known for his populist views, aligns himself with Trump’s “America First” ideology.
He opposed U.S. aid to Ukraine and, in protest, filibustered Biden’s judicial nominations confirmation process.
Vance’s inclusion on the ticket represents the culmination of months of speculation. The initial list of candidates was reduced from a dozen to just six. The likes of North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and Florida Senator Marco Rubio were the final two candidates. Vance’s ideological commitment and relationship with the Trump family were decisive.
Vance’s candidacy was also supported by influential figures such as Donald Trump Jr.
Vance’s relationship with Mr. Trump got off to a rocky start.
Mr. Vance, who initially criticized Mr. Trump, later joined him.

Donald Trump relaunched his campaign at a rally in Florida, where he took the opportunity to criticize the Biden administration in his latest speech. He made it clear that his criticism was not aimed solely at Joe Biden, but also at Vice President Kamala Harris.

With the current uncertainty surrounding Biden’s ability to continue his campaign, Trump’s new approach seems to indicate that he sees Kamala Harris as a real potential opponent in this presidential race… and with good reason.
Getty Images
Trump has adopted the moniker “Biden and Harris” to refer to the Democratic administration, underscoring a change in tactics in his campaign.
Trump also criticized Harris for her lack of leadership in the responsibilities assigned to her, while falsely claiming that Kamala Harris had never visited the U.S.-Mexico border, when in fact the vice president made a visit to the border in June 2021.
Getty Images
After several days of silence following Biden’s disastrous debate, Trump finally found his angle, accusing the Democrats of being involved in the biggest information withholding scandal in history.
He insinuated that Biden’s state of health was being hidden from the public by his party.
The White House issued a statement earlier this week detailing the president’s doctor’s medical visits.

Kamala Harris embarked on a series of events to shore up support for Biden, highlighting the Democrats’ positive record and highlighting the successes of his administration during his first term. Conversely, she didn’t forget to mention Trump’s dangerous policies and Project 2025, a worrying plan from the Republican right that proposes ultra-conservative (and sometimes downright deranged) policies for Donald Trump’s potential second term.

Although Trump’s entourage hopes that Biden will remain in the race, Trump’s choice to target Kamala Harris suggests that his campaign strategy is slightly affected by the recent turn of events.
Apparently irritated at not being the center of attention, or perhaps frightened at the idea of facing another candidate, Donald Trump reacted sharply against George Clooney following the publication of an op-ed by the actor in the New York Times… yet against Joe Biden.
Donald Trump Fires Back at George Clooney Over Biden Op-Ed: He ‘Should Get Out of Politics and Go Back to TV. Movies Never Really Worked Out’ https://t.co/Nr0wnqmLrt
In the article, which had the effect of a small political bombshell, Clooney advised President Joe Biden to drop his bid for the 2024 presidential election, the actor’s opinions apparently didn’t sit well with Trump.
On Truth Social, Trump criticized George Clooney, calling him a “fake movie actor” and claiming he’d never come close to starring in a major motion picture.
Getty Images
George Clooney, famous for his support of the Democratic Party and having recently helped raise $30 million for Joe Biden’s campaign, said in an op-ed that age had changed Biden and it was time to choose another candidate.
Trump attacked Clooney, accusing him of turning his back on Biden like a rat, while adding that he and Biden were similar. Trump questioned Clooney’s competence on any subject and criticized the actor for taking up the Democratic argument that Biden, whom he called the worst president in US history, had saved democracy.
Getty Images
It’s worth remembering that in his New York Times article earlier this week, George Clooney expressed his admiration and respect for Joe Biden, as Senator, Vice President and President. He emphasized their friendship and his confidence in Biden, affirming his belief in the latter’s morality and character.
However, Clooney expressed concern about Biden’s abilities, observing a notable decline since the last election. He cited Biden’s disappointing performance in a recent debate with Trump to support his view that Biden is no longer the dynamic leader he once supported. Clooney claimed to have observed Biden’s weaknesses himself a few weeks earlier, at a fundraising event for Biden’s campaign.

In his complaints against the actor, Trump ultimately suggests that Clooney should give up politics and return to television.
Advice that could also apply to himself, when you think about it.
Elon Musk wins a legal victory in the face of a lawsuit filed by former employees of Twitter, now renamed X. A federal court in San Francisco has dismissed the suit by former Twitter employees seeking $500 million in compensation.
Elon Musk was accused of failing to pay $500 million to more than 6,000 laid-off employees following his acquisition of Twitter, a transaction valued at $44 billion and finalized on October 27, 2022.
Getty Images
The judge in charge of the case determined that the fired employees were not entitled to severance pay under the federal Employee Retirement Insurance Security Act.
Getty Images
Among his first measures after acquiring Twitter in 2022, Musk had made a significant reduction in the company’s workforce. In response, laid-off employees filed several lawsuits seeking financial compensation.
Elon Musk announced at the time that all employees leaving the company would receive severance pay equivalent to three months’ salary.
Getty Images
However, the plaintiffs alleged that some employees had received only one month’s salary or no severance pay at all.
