Joe Biden Says Dropping Out Of 2024 Race Was ‘Hard’ Because His Presidency Was Just ‘So Successful’
'So successful on our agenda'
Making Canada The 51st State Would Guarantee Democrat Dominance Forever
Carney's win is precisely why the United States cannot afford to integrate far-left Canadians into the homeland.'They look a certain way': Comedian DL Hughley accuses black Philadelphia Eagles players of not caring about black people
Comedian D.L. Hughley said black Philadelphia Eagles players who visited President Trump at the White House are obviously the type of men who do not care about issues that affect other black people.
Hughley launched attacks at the president and called him a racist who is "eroding black history" and rolling black people back to a point of being "nonexistent."
The Philadelphia Eagles recently visited the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl win in February, and media members and commentators were quick to attack running back Saquon Barkley for golfing with the president ahead of the visit.
Hughley, while speaking to TMZ, rejected the idea that the event was a historical formality and criticized Barkley and other Eagles players for honoring a president "who assaults black people" and "insults [black] history on a daily basis."
"I think that it's not just political. What Donald Trump has done and is doing to black history is unsavory and is undeniable. Donald Trump is deliberately trying to erase black people's history, for whatever quest."
'He seems like the type of guy who would do that and be indifferent to what's happening to black people.'
Hughley then launched into a diatribe and claimed he is able to tell that certain black people, simply by observing them, are the type of people who do not care about other black people.
"Any black man that [goes to the White House] is going to obviously catch some level of heat. When a black person does it, when it's a black person, I can always tell what kind of black person. I can always tell what they are."
Hughley continued and claimed that Barkley had a white girlfriend who used the "N-word" in reference to a song, which served as evidence for him that he is the "kind of guy that is indifferent to what black people go through."
"It's just true," Hughley continued. "And I think I've noticed that to be consistent with a lot of black people who show up [to Trump events]. So to me, he seems like the type of guy who would do that and be indifferent to what's happening to black people."
TMZ's Harvey Levin challenged Hughley, saying that in his experience, the president is willing to listen to "the last person in the room" and said surely it is worth it to try to have a conversation with the president on policy rather than not engage him due to his perceived beliefs.
"If you're just out of the game, good luck to you for the next four years," Levin said.
Hughley persisted, though, and said Trump has a "lack of respect for black people" and draws in black people like Barkley.
Barkley recently responded to criticisms by saying, "Maybe I just respect the office," and that he had also recently golfed with President Barack Obama, proving his impartiality on the matter.
However, those remarks sparked even more backlash, particularly from Philadelphia-area sports writer Les Bowen, who took to his X account to say Barkley did not grasp the politics he was getting himself involved in.
"Saquon is a good person & a wonderful player. It’s tricky when people in sports, with huge platforms & good intentions, blunder into stuff they don’t fully grasp," Bowen wrote. "To me, this is 'Reggie White at the Wisconsin legislature' level cluelessness. Not a bad guy, but out of his depth."

Superman surprises at the White House: Steve Deace’s epic chat with Dean Cain
Earlier this week, Steve Deace was in Washington, D.C., at the White House to commemorate President Trump’s first 100 days in office. During his visit, he interviewed a number of key insiders, including Ronald Vitiello, Customs and Border Protection senior adviser; Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency; and Kaelan Dorr, White House deputy communications director.
However, there was another interview he did that wasn’t in the books.
“When you're having lunch in the White House mess hall, you never know who you're going to run into,” says Steve.
Like Superman, for example.
“Being the Superman slappy that I am, I had to carve out time for Dean Cain,” says Steve.
“Why are you here — other than, you know, the future of the country is at stake?” he asked candidly.
Cain explained that he was in D.C. for a film he’s working on called “End the Wait,” which raises awareness about the need for kidney donors.
“We want to partner somehow with the government to say, ‘You can save thousands upon thousands of lives,'" he told Steve.
On the subject of films, Steve then brought up the latest movie he saw, “The Accountant 2,” starring Ben Affleck.
“Here's the plot of the movie: They are cracking a human trafficking ring of a network of drug runners and corporations who claim they really care about illegal aliens but are really just using them for human traffickers and to smuggle drugs into the country,” he explained. “At the end of it, I looked at my wife, and I said, ‘That is not a script that would have been filmed 10 years ago.’"
“There has been some major vibe shift here. Do you sense it as well?” he asked.
“Oh, tremendously!” was Cain’s answer.
“Gavin O'Connor, who directed that, is a friend of mine, a great director, and he's got a good edge to him. It feels like a real truth that's going on. Yeah, the vibes shift is clear,” he added.
He went on to list several of the factors playing into the cultural shift, including “Elon purchasing X and reviving free speech," the exposing of “the prior administration and things they were doing,” and real talk with “podcasters like Joe Rogan.”
“People are waking up,” Cain continued. “They don't control the media anymore, so the real messages are getting out.”
To hear more of Steve and Dean Cain’s conversation, watch the episode above.

Steve Deace in the White House: Unpacking Trump’s first 100 days with key insiders
As part of President Trump's first 100 days commemoration, Steve Deace, Todd Erzen, and Aaron McIntire — hosts of the “Steve Deace Show” — had the immense privilege of visiting the White House.
“The Trump administration came out like a force of nature from day one — basically launched an all-out amphibious land, sea, air assault against the spirit of the age on every issue conceivable,” says Steve, standing in front of the White House.
One issue the administration began tackling just moments after President Trump was sworn into office is immigration. To get more information on the state of the border and what's next in the fight to restore the nation's sovereignty, Steve interviewed Customs and Border Protection Senior Adviser Ronald Vitiello.
Steve’s most pressing question was, “Where’s Congress?” While the Trump administration has made excellent moves to secure the border, if codification doesn’t happen, the next Democrat president could usher in another era of open border policies and undo all the work Trump has accomplished.
Vitiello shared Steve’s frustration at Congress’ slow pace in codifying border security measures and contrasted it with the rapid executive actions taken by President Trump. He argued that not only does Congress need to fill resource gaps in the budget, which is based on Biden's framework, so that they can continue to support Trump’s border priorities, but it also needs to reinforce executive orders, such as ending catch-and-release and limiting district judges’ rulings, to ensure these policies endure beyond the current administration.
Despite delays, he’s hopeful codification is on the horizon.
Another burning question Steve had was, “What’s the endgame?”
Vitiello explained that the overarching goal for the border issue is to maintain and enhance current physical border security and interior immigration enforcement, scaling up efforts with more resources and policies for greater impact. He emphasized sustaining measures like the border wall, which is durable and resists policy reversals by future administrations.”
If the Trump administration can accomplish this, and he’s confident it will, it will be “a win for not just this presidency but for the American people for generations,” he said.
In Steve’s next interview, he met with Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to find out how President Trump is working to make homes affordable again.
“The housing market has taken a major tumble between COVID and the last four years, so how do we rebound that given it's one of the key sectors of our economy?” Steve asked.
“There's probably only one person and that's President Trump who could fix this problem,” said Pulte, noting that what Trump is doing with inflation is “nothing short of miraculous.”
However, as chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Pulte knows he has his work cut out for him, as historically, the companies have been rife with corruption.
“We're turning [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac] around, Steve. ... Basically nobody was working for the most part in these offices. We ordered people back to work,” he said, adding that the agencies are now being “run like businesses” and are utilizing the Department of Government Efficiency to root out waste and abuse.
“The unnecessary redundant bureaucracy is going away, and we're also focused on mortgage fraud — getting rid of fraud in the system,” said Pulte. “We're tightening the whole ship and making sure that we don't ever have a 2008 again.”
Pulte has already signed “over 50 orders” that impact federal housing in Trump’s first 100 days and expects the next 100 days will see the elimination of even more corrupt bureaucracy.
In Steve’s final interview, he met with White House Deputy Communications Director Kaelan Dorr to discuss the multifaceted, flood-the-zone strategy of the communications team and what they’re working on next.
“What you're doing right now and you being here has been really important to us because we've opened up the door to all sorts of alternative media outlets that maybe don't have a day-to-day touch point with the White House,” Dorr told Steve. “For far too long, the American people had to come begging and pleading for scraps of information about what was going on.”
He emphasized the importance of alternative media outlets, like Blaze Media, given mainstream outlets come to press meetings with an agenda and a strong bias, preventing citizens from getting the straight facts.
“We're trying to restore that customer service ethos to everything that we do,” said Dorr.
“What’s the biggest difference here on day 100 compared to day one when you guys came in?” Steve asked.
“The gloves are completely and totally off,” said Dorr. “The social media content we put out — it's a little spicy in all the right ways.”
And it’s paying off.
“On YouTube and some of these other platforms, we've already in 100 days 4-Xed our audiences from the Biden administration,” said Dorr. “We’re going to continue to play offense on everything across the board.”
