‘Full of S**t’: Obama Loyalist Flips Out as Big Tech CEOs Flock to Trump

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Jon Favreau, a former aide to former President Barack Obama, flipped out at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Friday’s episode of Pod Save America as big tech companies flock to President-elect Donald Trump.

The Pod Save America co-host said Zuckerberg was “full of s**t” for donating $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.

“There are few humans more full of s**t than Mark Zuckerberg for like all of the values he professed that Facebook had and that his company has and all this bulls**t,” Favreau raged.

Zuckerberg’s donation struck a sore spot with Favreau, who took offense at the Facebook founder for “just giving [Trump] money.” He slammed Zuckerberg for trying to get in Trump’s good graces following years of tension between the two, especially relating to social media censorship and 2020 election interference.

“Fine, make peace, whatever. Donate a million dollars to inauguration when Meta has not donated money to any other inauguration? Now you’re like in the Trump business. Now you’re just giving him money,” he said.

Favreau would have rather had Zuckerberg stick to speaking out about Trump, whether he said “nice” or “bad” things. The former Obama aide called Zuckerberg’s financial investment in the incoming Republican president “disgusting.”

“You’re giving him money? A million dollars,” he said. “It’s disgusting.”

Zuckerberg’s donation to Trump was first reported on Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal. The Meta CEO, who did not donate to Trump’s first inauguration, met with the president-elect at Mar-a-Lago in late November.

On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon’s executive chairman, Jeff Bezos, also plans to donate $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund. Amazon will also stream Trump’s indigestion on its Prime Video service.

Trump Doesn’t Deny Potential Political Family Dynasty

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) In his recent interview with Time magazine, President-elect Donald Trump was asked whether there will be a Trump dynasty, and Trump did not automatically reject the idea.

“Well, I hope when I leave office, I’ll be able to also leave people that are extremely competent and get it. And we do have those people. We have far more than you think. We have some great warriors. We have some great people that want to see this country take care of,” Trump said in response to the question of what would happen to the Make America Great movement when he leaves office at the beginning of 2029.

Time interviewer then asked whether some of those people could be his family members.

“I think, yeah, I have some very competent members of my family. My kids are very competent. I don’t know that they’re going to choose to go through this. They’ve been treated very badly,” Trump responded.

He then described in detail how one of his sons, Donald Trump Jr., suffered from the Russia hoax that the Democrats created.

“I mean, my son Don has spent hours and hours in front of, essentially, grand juries and Congress over something he never had anything to do with: Russia. He’d come back and say, ‘Dad, I have nothing to do with Russia.’ He didn’t know anything about Russia, and it would turn out to be a hoax,” Trump said.

When asked whether Trump Jr. was a future in politics, Trump responded positively.

“I think he’d do well, especially in certain areas. I think he’d do very well. I think he’s a very capable guy,” he said.

Trump then mentioned other members of his family: his son, Eric Trump, his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, and his daughter, Ivanka Trump, stating they all could have a future in politics and noting that Ivanka, however, may decide to avoid the world of politics because she is very “family-oriented.”

After that, Trump was asked if he thought there could be a Trump dynasty, and Trump admitted that it could eventually happen.

“I think there could be, yeah,” he said.

Conservatives on Twitter responded positively to the potential creation of a political dynasty.

“The Trumps are the new Kennedys of politics. This is only the beginning of what will undoubtedly be a lasting legacy,” @luvgod wrote.

Others also became excited about another of Trump’s sons, Barron Trump, running for president in the future and pointed out that the first female president maybe not just a Republican but one of Trump’s daughters.

Apple Slammed for Fake News Alert Saying UnitedHealthcare Murder Suspect ‘Shoots Himself’

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Apple was slammed after its artificial intelligence (AI) service sent out a BBC News alert that falsely claimed the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect committed suicide.

Luigi Mangione, the alleged assassin who shot dead UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, was identified and arrested Monday after he was spotted at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The murder suspect, who is very much alive, was incorrectly reported to have shot himself in an AI-generated BBC notification that appeared on some iPhones.

“Luigi Mangione shoots himself; Syrian mother hopes Assad pays the price; South Korea police raid Yoon Suk Yeol’s office,” the AI-generated news alert read on some Apple devices.

The other two news items that appeared after the BBC’s incorrect headline about Mangione were factually accurate.

BBC reportedly complained to Apple after the big tech company’s new AI feature, which launched Wednesday in the U.K., sent out the false headline to iPhones.

“This week, the AI-powered summary falsely made it appear BBC News had published an article claiming Luigi Mangione, the man arrested following the murder of healthcare insurance CEO Brian Thompson in New York, had shot himself. He has not,” BBC wrote in its own report on the issue.

A BBC spokesperson said the news corporation had contacted Apple “to raise this concern and fix the problem,” BBC reported on its own website.

“BBC News is the most trusted news media in the world,” the BBC spokesperson added. “It is essential to us that our audiences can trust any information or journalism published in our name and that includes notifications.”

Apple’s AI-generated notification summaries are only available on the following devices: iPhones using the iOS 18.1 system version or later on recent devices (all iPhone 16 phones, the 15 Pro, and the 15 Pro Max), some iPads and some Macs, according to the outlet.

“Apple Intelligence also helps users prioritize and stay in the moment with notification summaries that allow users to scan long or stacked notifications with key details right on the Lock Screen, such as when a group chat is particularly active. A new Focus, Reduce Interruptions, surfaces only the notifications that might need immediate attention,” a description of the new AI-powered feature in Apple’s press release stated.

‘Are We Allowed to Curse?’: DNC Official Reveals White House Begged Her to ‘Cover for’ Biden

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Lindy Li, a member of the Democratic National Committee’s finance committee, revealed Friday that the White House begged her to “cover for” President Joe Biden when she appeared on Fox News Sunday before he dropped his reelection bid.

Li told 2WAY panelists that she received a call from a worried White House staffer the night before her scheduled July 21 appearance on Fox News.

“The night before, I got a call from the White House,” Li said. “Are we allowed to curse on here? I’m just, I don’t give a blank.”

2WAY TONIGHT host Mark Halperin told Li his show is “pro-cursing” before the DNC official continued her story.

“On July 20, I got a call from the White House saying stuff like, ‘We know that you’re the president’s most loyal supporter. We know you’re gonna stay loyal,'” she disclosed, mentioning that at the time, many Democrats were pressuring Biden to step aside.

Li described herself as “fearless” and said she “told the truth” in her appearance with Shannon Bream by calling for Biden to drop out.

“I bucked what I was told the night before,” she said.

Li mentioned she received “a slew of angry phone calls” after her interview, which aired the same day Biden announced he would not continue his campaign. She said she did not answer any phone calls.

“I’m guessing they were pissed off,” the DNC official told 2WAY panelists.

Li finished her anecdote by saying she was “pressured to say something on air that wasn’t true.” She remarked that she could not believe what she was saying as she reflected on her interactions with a panicked Biden administration.

“They’re going to leave power in a couple of weeks. What are they going to do to me, not invite me to the Christmas party again?” Li quipped.

Internet Cheers Kid’s Christmas Correction to Jill Biden’s ‘Happy Holidays’

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Social media users cheered Friday as video of a kid correcting First Lady Jill Biden saying “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” during a White House event went viral.

The leftist first lady welcomed attendees at the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign by uttering the generic seasonal greeting, but children in the audience had low tolerance for her Christmas erasure.

Standing between brightly lit Christmas trees, Jill Biden, wearing a shimmering blazer, waved and said, “Happy Holidays!”

One child passionately responded by shouting, “Happy Christmas,” prompting the first lady to stop and say, “Happy Christmas” back. Multiple children repeated the celebratory phrase thereafter in an apparent snub to the Democrats’ attempts to avoid explicitly mentioning the Christian holiday.

The Internet rejoiced at the child’s rejection of Jill Biden’s politically correct holiday greeting.

Former NCAA swimmer and Outkick host Riley Gaines wrote, “Even kids get it,” with a laughing emoji.

Pastor Greg Laurie encouraged Americans to say “Merry Christmas” with pride and joy this year.

“I love this kid!” Laurie wrote on X in part. “This reminds me of the verse, ‘From the mouths of children and infants, You have ordained praise’ (Psalm 8:2). Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.”

Journalist Tommy Robinson said, “The Trump effect is already back!”

Conservative communicator Steve Guest called the child’s correction an “epic response.”

X influencer Paul A. Szypula joked that the child educated Jill Biden, who is notorious for emphasizing her career as a teacher.

“We are so back,” conservative Catholic group CatholicVote declared on the social media platform, adding a cross emoji.

Ousted Dem Blames Jews, Not His Own Anti-Semitism, for Electoral Defeat

Ousted Dem Blames Jews, Not His Own Anti-Semitism, for Electoral Defeat

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Accused “anti-Semite” and Rep. Jamaal Bowman has claimed that his district’s Jewish Americans were the sole reason for his loss in the 2024 primary election. 

Bowman is one of the two members of the radical leftist “Squad” who have faced criticism for their controversial anti-Israeli rhetoric, which at times bordered on anti-Semitism.

In an exit interview aired on Spectrum News’s NY1 on Friday, Bowman stated that he was destined to lose his seat due to the religious affiliations of his constituents, even if he had never pulled a fire alarm that landed him in legal trouble. 

When asked by reporter Kevin Frey, “Do you think you’d be preparing for another term right now if it weren’t for that fire alarm?” Bowman nearly shouted, “No! No! Hell no!

Bowman added, “I mean, my district is a super pro-Israel district the minute I called for a ceasefire that was the ‘last straw,’ for many in the district. And I say last straw because I beat Eliot Engel, it was a target from that community since then.” 

Bowman’s comments refer to his vocal and controversial support for the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip following its invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. He was among the first lawmakers to demand a ceasefire while Israel was defending itself and trying to rescue hostages.

He also suggested that the years-long dislike of some constituents with Jewish religious views influenced his defeat. In the 2020 Democratic primaries, he defeated Engel, a Jewish man who had represented the district for 16 terms.

Fast-forward to 2024, Bowman was defeated by George Latimer, a Westchester County executive who received nearly $15 million in funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). 

Following Hamas’s brutal attack on civilians in Israel, Bowman at times aligned his rhetoric with individuals who supported Hamas.

Bowman claimed that substantiated reports indicating Hamas terrorists committed acts of rape and child murder were “lies” and “propaganda,” though he has since walked back those comments.

He described his primary race as a battle against the “Zionist regime we call AIPAC.” 

In October 2023, he pleaded guilty to pulling a false fire alarm, which critics alleged was an attempt to stall a Republican-led session in the House to pass a government funding bill. 

Ph.D. Student Mocked for Elite Degree in the ‘Politics of Smell’

Ph.D. Student Mocked for Elite Degree in the ‘Politics of Smell’

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A woman was recently mocked after she revealed that she got her Ph.D. in English literature by writing a thesis about how racist it is not to like people who smell.

“Thrilled to say I passed my viva with no corrections and am officially PhDone,” Ally Louks wrote on Twitter, posting a photo of herself holding her PhD thesis, Olfactory Ethics: The Politics of Smell In Modern And Contemporary Prose.

After many people became confused about the title of my thesis, Louks published an abstract for her thesis, hoping to “provide more context for anyone interested in learning more about [her] work.”

“To be clear, this abstract was written for experts within my discipline and field. It was not written for a lay audience and this is not how I would communicate my ideas to the average person,” she added.

Conservatives on the platform quickly criticized the woman by pointing out that her degree was useless because it was based on meaningless work.

“I spent half my life pursuing a PhD in biotechnology. I dedicated myself to honest science—running experiments, being critical, and trying to disprove my own hypotheses. Eventually, I earned my degree. It was grueling but meaningful work. Then you see this,” the self-described “most canceled scientist” Dr. Simon Goddek wrote.

Goddek then criticized the “elite” universities that are ready to give someone a degree for writing a thesis “stuffed” with pretentious language and inflated words, in which a person claims that “describing smells is racist.”

“At least this is an eye-opener. Academia is dead. And we can no longer take these so-called ‘elite’ universities seriously,” he wrote.

Other people also criticized Louks, going as far as claiming that she is “the reason why everything is falling apart.”

“She just got the ultimate bulls**t degree: a PhD about why describing smells is racist,” @ItIsHoeMath wrote. “Her thesis statement is basically: ‘If you say someone stinks, people like them less.’ You know, like we all learned from watching cartoons when we were four.”

He then stated that Louks now believes she is entitled to an “extremely high-status lifestyle” because she got a PhD.

“Remember this when they tell you that women are ‘beating’ men at getting an ‘education.’ Good luck to whoever has to pay off those loans! And don’t forget… call her ‘Doctor!'” @ItIsHoeMath added.

Some people also pointed out that, in addition to getting a laughable degree and hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt, she also lost “10 years of childbearing youth that she will never regain.”

Twitter Sleuth Goes Viral Showing Mangione Family’s Ties to Pelosi

Twitter Sleuth Goes Viral Showing Mangione Family’s Ties to Pelosi

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) One of the people on Twitter recently alleged that the family of Luigi Mangione, the suspected murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was connected to former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

“This is a long one… but stay with me… it’s worth it,” @HueyJackNation wrote before writing down the entire timeline to make his point.

At first, he wrote that in October 2023, the Justice Department initiated “a non-public antitrust investigation into UnitedHealth Group concerning potentially unlawful acquisitions,” which resulted in the company’s executives, including CEO Thompson and Chairman Stephen Hemsley, starting to sell “substantial amounts of company stock, totaling $101.5 million by February 2024.”

Then, on Jan. 1, “Vin Roberti, chairman of Roberti Global and a longtime political ally and fundraiser for Nancy Pelosi, is retained as a lobbyist by Palo Alto Networks,” adding that on Feb. 12, Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, purchased “50 call options in Palo Alto Networks, valued between $500,000 and $1 million.”

He then wrote that between Feb. 14 and Feb. 20, Change Healthcare, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, was targeted by a ransomware attack, which resulted in Thompson and other executives selling over $15.1 million worth of UnitedHealth Group stock since Feb. 16.

As a result, Palo Alto Networks experienced a 20% decline on Feb. 20, and, coincidentally, the very next day, Pelosi’s husband “acquires an additional 20 call options in Palo Alto Networks, valued between $100,000 and $250,000.”

Politicians tried prohibiting stock trading between May and October by Congress members like Pelosi.

In October, UnitedHealth Group enhanced the company’s cybersecurity measures following the breach.

He then points out that Mangione boards the bus in Atlanta and arrives in New York City at the end of November.

After that, @HueyJackNation alleged that Mangione boarded the bus two to four days before the public announcement of the UnitedHealth Group’s annual Investor Conference scheduled for Dec. 4., the day when Thompson was murdered.

He then continued the thread by stating that Mangione’s family was connected to Pelosi, pointing out that both families were very prominent in Delaware.

He then described how rich the Mangione family is, mentioning that they became wealthy after founding and still owning a nursing home chain in Maryland that was cited for abuse and health violations, as reported by the New York Post.

@HueyJackNation then stated that Luigi previously volunteered in one of the companies connected to his family’s business, Lorien Health Services.”

“So he has seen the dirty work of insurance companies firsthand… especially when his family owns the company and is trying to get money from the insurance companies,” he wrote.

In another Twitter thread, @HueyJackNation made an even more explicit connection between Mangione and Pelosi families.

George Stephanopoulos Forced to Testify in Trump’s Defamation Lawsuit

George Stephanopoulos Forced to Testify in Trump’s Defamation Lawsuit

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Leftist news anchor George Stephanopoulos has been ordered to participate in a deposition next week regarding President-elect Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against him and ABC News. 

U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisette Reid issued the order on Friday following a discovery hearing on the lawsuit, which Trump filed in March, as reported by The Hill.

Reid has also requested that Trump appear for a deposition, which is likely to take place in Florida. Stephanopoulos may appear virtually.

These legal developments stem from Stephanopoulos’s repeated and false claims that Trump was found “liable for rape” in the civil case brought by E. Jean Carroll. 

Despite Stephanopoulos’s accusations, which lawyers have deemed defamatory, Trump has never been found liable for “rape.” 

Carroll’s lawsuit, funded by anti-Trump figure Reid Hoffman, concluded with a jury finding Trump liable for “abuse.” Critics found the ruling baffling given Trump’s repeated denials and what many view as little public evidence to substantiate the claims. 

Contrary to the facts, Stephanopoulos falsely linked Trump to the rape allegations at least ten times during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., on a March episode of his show This Week. 

“Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape,” Stephanopoulos falsely preached to Mace before questioning her endorsement of the now-president-elect. 

“It was not a criminal court case, number one,” Mace replied, correcting the record. “Number two, I live with shame. And you’re asking me a question about my political choices trying to shame me as a rape victim.” 

Later in the interview, Stephanopoulos repeated his claims: “You’ve endorsed Donald Trump for president. Donald Trump has been found liable for rape by a jury Donald Trump has been found liable for defaming the victim of that rape by a jury. It’s been affirmed by a judge in a criminal court.” 

ABC News attempted to have the case dismissed in June, arguing that it was protected by fair reporting privilege, but U.S. Judge Cecilia Altonaga disagreed. 

“A jury may, upon viewing the segment, find there was sufficient context. But a reasonable jury could conclude Plaintiff was defamed and, as a result, dismissal is inappropriate,” Altonaga ruled in June, according to Fox News.

Musk Addresses Rumors over Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift Attending Trump’s Inauguration

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Will leftist stars Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift perform at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025? Tech mogul Elon Musk may have the answer. 

Musk, who Trump has appointed as the incoming head of the Department of Government Efficiency, responded to an X post claiming that both Gaga and Swift “opted out” of performing at the inauguration.  

Musk said such a case was nearly impossible, as Trump never invited either leftist artist. “There is 0% chance they were asked,” he said after spending several days with the incoming president at his Mar-a-Lago estate. 

Musk’s comments came after rumors circulated on social media about the two well-known Democrats potentially attending Trump’s inaugural address to unite the country following a tumultuous election cycle. 

The speculation likely originated after Fox News host Laura Ingraham urged Swift to seek Trump’s permission to perform at his inauguration, describing it as a potential “great moment of unity.” 

On Thursday’s edition of The Ingraham Angle, Ingraham said, “Speaking of Taylor Swift, The Angle does have some advice for her: call Trump and offer to perform at the inauguration. It would be smart for Taylor Swift and another great moment of unity for the country.” 

Referencing Swift’s 2017 hit “…Ready For It?”, Ingraham added, “Come on, Taylor. Are you ready for it? Absolutely.” 

Americans hoping to see the pop sensation on the inaugural stage on Jan. 20 may be disappointed, as Swift is a notorious Democrat and supporter of leftist causes. 

For the 2024 election, Swift urged her fans, whom she refers to as “Swifties,” to vote for outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris, though to no avail.

Swift also backed then-former Vice President Joe Biden in 2020 and lamented not endorsing twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 cycle. 

Similarly, Gaga has religiously backed Democratic candidates, then-President Barack Obama’s re-election in 2012, Clinton in 2016, Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024.

A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift)

Despite this clear alignment with the Democratic Party, Ingraham remarked, “Anything is possible,” referring to Swift attending the inaugural. 

“It’s almost Christmas. We have seen a lot of miracles this year. Trump barely misses getting killed by an assassin’s bullet. Then he goes on to win the White House,” she added.
