Bill Maher Hilariously Levels Liberals Over Lake America Outrage [WATCH]

Liberals are furious over President Donald Trump changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, but their outrage is avoiding the larger dispute.

Rather than address the trade problems with Canada or what might resolve them, they are using the name change to attack Trump.

That reaction gave Bill Maher an opening on Friday during his HBO show “Real Time.”

With one cutting joke, Maher mocked the liberal response and turned its underlying logic against the people making the complaint.

“Trump is so mad at Canada, he renamed Lake Ontario ‘Lake America,'” Maher said. “Now I have to buy a new globe again!” he joked.

Maher then delivered the sharper punch line. “Liberals are very pissed at this. They say you can’t just go around renaming to suit your political agenda. Just ask any Latinx birthing person.”

WATCH:

The audience loved the joke, and it landed because it highlighted the incoherent and inconsistent liberal beliefs.

Liberals are objecting to a politically motivated name change after spending years promoting their own preferred terminology.

The real question is which issue matters more.

Trump is using Lake America as a jab during trade negotiations with Canada, while liberals have renamed entire categories of people and promoted terms such as LatinX.

The same contradiction appears in the ongoing political dispute over defining what a woman is.

A Supreme Court Justice was cornered on that question during her nomination hearing and avoided saying anything that could conflict with the current political agenda narrative.

Now the Women’s National Basketball Association, also known as the WNBA, is facing chaos because it does not want to challenge that narrative.

The situation reflects the broader consequences of allowing political language to override plainly stated reality.

Immigration offers another example of this pattern.

For years, “illegal alien” was the legally understood term, but it was later treated as “mean” when the liberal political agenda shifted toward downplaying illegal immigration.

That change produced the phrase “undocumented person.”

Yet the objection is that such a person may possess documents while still not being in the country legally, making the newer phrase a misleading substitute for the legal reality.

Stating that someone is not in the country legally is neither evil nor mean.

Rejecting that fact has harmed America, while countless people have been hurt by the way Democrats have handled the wider immigration issue.

The pattern is consistent because liberals use whichever language they believe will advance their political agenda.

Their terminology changes when the political objective changes, even when the replacement language obscures what is actually happening.

That strategy is also visible in current campaigns, where Democrats say, “we’re a big tent,” rather than admitting, “we’re hoping by embracing our radical leftists, we’ll get more people out to vote for us.”

WATCH:

The approach may ultimately hurt them if Americans reject the party because of its extreme positions.

Maher’s joke was therefore more than a quick laugh about buying another globe.

It exposed the contradiction of liberals condemning Trump for politically convenient renaming while repeatedly using politically convenient labels of their own.

That is why his Lake America punch line worked so well with the audience.

Maher used liberal language rules against liberals themselves, making their outrage the target and delivering a fitting response to the controversy.

Garth Brooks’ Daughter Slammed Over Dolly Parton Tribute: ‘An Utterly Ridiculous Comment to Make’

Garth Brooks’ daughter Allie Colleen is facing criticism over the tribute she shared after country music legend Dolly Parton’s death.

Several social media users objected to how the singer and songwriter connected the loss to her own fear of someday losing her famous father, as reported by Page Six.

Colleen, 30, posted the lengthy message on Instagram Tuesday. While mourning Parton, she opened up about the prospect of the world grieving Brooks without knowing him as personally as she does.

“My greatest fear in life is the day my Dad loses his life, and I have to see the world mourn a man they never knew the way I knew him,” Colleen began.

She then directed her condolences toward those who were closest to Parton. “To the personal family and friends of Mrs. Dolly, you have all my love and condolences today and forever going forward,” she continued.

“What a huge, beautiful, special life to have loved and to grieve. Thank you for sharing her with us all.”

Colleen also described mourning as a “beautiful privilege,” explaining that “to grieve is to know you loved deeply and fully.” She ended the tribute by expressing love for Parton and those grieving for her while asking fans to “respect the family and her personal friends.”

A post shared by Allie Colleen (@alliecolleenmusic)

The message quickly drew objections from people who believed Colleen had placed too much emphasis on her relationship with her 64-year-old father.

Critics argued that the tribute should have remained focused on Parton and her loved ones.

“This is the weirdest condolence post I have ever seen. It’s giving how can I make something not about myself, about me. This is nepo baby at its worst.”

Another commenter was similarly blunt, writing, “An utterly ridiculous comment to make. This is not about you or your father.”

A third person suggested Colleen should have sought feedback before publishing the post.

“Allie, just a note. Next time, let someone read your work before you publish it. I know what you meant; however, now was not the time to say it,” the commenter wrote.

Other people questioned what they saw as Colleen’s suggestion that fans could not understand the grief experienced by a celebrity’s family and friends.

One person attempted to reassure her that others may have endured similar pain.

“We will mourn the loss, never in the way you will. Just know that all of us may have gone through that before, and we will understand your pain,” that person commented.

Colleen disagreed with the comparison, replying, “I don’t think you will.. I would never relate to you losing your father – I don’t know how you would relate to mine. Kind of exactly what I am talking about ”

Another follower pushed back on that response. “That’s kinda insinuating like none of us have loved our dads as much as you love yours? Loss is loss. Everyone who has experienced it can relate,” the person wrote.

Colleen then clarified that she was not trying to minimize anyone else’s experience with loss. “I would never act like I understand how much you grieve anyone – that’s all I am saying.”

“I would never act like I understand how you feel the day you lose your person, so I would expect the same respect that you don’t know how I feel the day I lose mine,” she added.

Despite the backlash, Colleen received support from Mackenzie Lynn Adkins, the daughter of country singer Trace Adkins. Mackenzie said the fear Colleen described was both frightening and real for her and her sisters.

“I’m more of an avoidant when it comes to fears like this. But that is very, very scary and real for my sisters and I. Thank you for explaining it better than I could,” Mackenzie commented.

Colleen responded warmly, writing, “I know you understand, babe should the day come— we’ll get through it.”

Parton died Tuesday at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer, leaving behind a $450 million estate. The family of the “Jolene” singer announced her death as tributes arrived from fans and fellow celebrities.

Colleen is the youngest of Brooks’ three daughters with his ex-wife, Sandy Mahl. The former couple also shares daughters Taylor and August.

Following her famous father into country music, Colleen pursued her own recording career. She released her debut album, “Stones,” in 2021.

‘Old Farts and Little Sh*ts’: Bill Maher Goes Off on Democrats’ ‘Big Tent’ [WATCH]

Bill Maher criticized the influence of provocative political voices on both the left and right, arguing that a culture built around generating outrage has increasingly replaced substantive political debate.

Maher said the phenomenon is commonly associated with being an “edgelord,” but he offered a considerably less flattering description of the behavior.

“They call it being an edgelord. Normal people call it being an asshole, and sadly, the fact that so many people can’t tell the difference is not even a new phenomenon,” Maher said.

Drawing on his former show “Politically Incorrect,” Maher distinguished what he considers genuine political irreverence from deliberately saying outrageous things simply to provoke a response.

“It means radical honesty. What it doesn’t mean is just saying the unsayable to get a reaction,” Maher said.

He recalled that the behavior became prevalent enough that his former program created a segment designed to distinguish provocative political commentary from statements that were merely foolish.

“But so many people started doing that back then, we actually had to have a contest called Politically Incorrect or Just Stupid. Today, I don’t think Politically Incorrect would even stand a chance. It’s all just stupid,” Maher said.

Maher criticized provocative rhetoric on the political right before turning his attention to progressive activists and a series of positions associated with the left.

“And on the left: just abolish anything that isn’t working perfectly: police, prisons, borders, shoplifting laws, the Senate, the Supreme Court, huh, globalize the intifada, tampons in the boys room,” Maher said.

Maher argued that such positions are not primarily originating with longtime Democratic politicians.

Instead, he blamed younger political staffers immersed in online progressive politics for pushing the party toward positions that can alienate ordinary voters.

“You know, someone is coming up with this crazy, and it’s not Dick Durbin, age 80. It’s the staffers, the perpetually online, fatwa-curious Social Justice Suicide Squad,” Maher said.

He then offered Democrats a warning about where he believes their political problems originate.

“Hey, memo to Democrats: The call is coming from inside the tent,” Maher said.

Maher used former President Joe Biden’s administration as an example.

He argued that Biden presented himself during the 2020 campaign as a candidate who would restore normalcy but presided over an administration heavily influenced by progressive priorities.

“Democrats never really reckoned with, why didn’t Joe Biden actually give us the return to normal he promised? Biden ran in 2020 as a single-issue candidate: eliminating malarkey,” Maher said.

He contrasted Biden’s personal political image with the policies and priorities pursued by members of his administration.

“He wasn’t obsessing about intersectional queer theory. When Joe heard the word trans, he thought Pontiac,” Maher said.

Maher specifically criticized the Biden administration’s focus on gender identity, attributing that emphasis to younger officials and staffers surrounding the former president.

“But his administration, that is the kids he was too feeble to fight with, they made gender identity the federal government’s day-one top concern,” Maher said.

He then pointed to former Vice President Kamala Harris and the issue of taxpayer-funded sex-change procedures for prisoners as an example of what he viewed as the political influence of those staffers.

“They’re the ones who told Kamala Harris that the answer to Do you support tax-funded sex changes for people in prison? was Fuck, yeah, instead of You’re fucking kidding,” Maher said.

Maher argued that the same political culture he condemns on the right has gained significant influence within Democratic politics.

“Those are the Democrats’ edgelords. And like the ones on the right, they’re low-key running the country now,” Maher said.

His criticism ultimately extended beyond the familiar argument that America’s political leadership simply needs a younger generation of elected officials.

Maher said replacing older politicians with younger ones would not necessarily address the underlying problem if the incoming generation embraces the same provocative political culture.

“So, yes, by all means, let’s elect some younger politicians. But maybe the problem isn’t just the old farts. Maybe it’s also the new little sh*ts.”

‘Kweeeen’ Royce White Arrives at Indiana Fever Game in Blonde Wig Amid WNBA Draft Push [WATCH]

Former NBA player and men’s college basketball star Royce White carried his WNBA Draft campaign into Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday night, arriving in a long blonde wig for the Indiana Fever’s game against the Connecticut Sun.

His appearance came more than a week after he announced plans to pursue a place in the 2027 WNBA Draft.

Photos and video obtained by OutKick showed White inside the arena as the Fever prepared to face Connecticut.

The former first-round NBA pick wore the wig while meeting fans around the venue.

White received a friendly welcome from people in attendance.

Multiple fans stopped to shake his hand and pose for pictures with him before the game.

The appearance followed a separate incident involving former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom, who was thrown out of a game on Sunday night.

Freedom’s ejection drew national attention, and he was later banned from future Chicago Sky games.

WATCH:

Both White and Freedom have declared for the next WNBA Draft as males. White announced his intention earlier this month and used Friday’s Fever game as another public step in that campaign.

Asked by OutKick why he had come to the arena, White said, “All hail Queen Roysha, the queen has arrived, it’s great to be here… I’m here because Black trans lesbians matter, and we’ve always mattered, we’ve always existed… I’m here to participate and scout some of the competition maybe as well.”

WATCH:

OutKick also asked whether fans might see some “fireworks” involving White following Freedom’s ejection and subsequent ban. White said he had come to watch the game and support the league and the Fever.

“I’m just here to spectate. I’m just here to support the WNBA and support the Fever.”

White appeared unconcerned when asked what kind of reception he expected from Fever fans.

He responded by dismissing the importance of any reaction to his appearance.

“Who cares? It’s life, you get one life to live.”

Before arriving at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, White had previewed the blonde wig look on social media. His arena appearance then brought the campaign directly to a WNBA game.

White formally declared for the draft through a letter sent to the WNBA league office by his attorney, former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz.

The declaration said White identified as a transgender woman and claimed he was eligible under the league’s new collective bargaining agreement.

The agreement states that “only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA.”

However, the agreement does not give a more specific definition based on biological sex or gender identity.

White has said his declaration is designed to pressure the WNBA into explicitly stating whether biological males can compete in the league.

He previously explained his position during an interview with OutKick.

“I’m transgender. I’m a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purpose of basketball, professional basketball, so I’ll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well,” White said.

White has also threatened to pursue a discrimination lawsuit if he is not permitted to compete.

His legal team has maintained that it has not received a formal determination from the WNBA about his eligibility.

Multiple outlets reported during the week that neither White nor Freedom would be eligible for the draft.

A league source described their declarations as “publicity stunts,” but White’s legal representatives said the WNBA had not directly delivered a formal ruling to them.

Gaetz responded publicly by warning the league to retain relevant material.

“The WNBA should preserve all records in anticipation of litigation,” he wrote on social media.

White entered the NBA when the Houston Rockets selected him with the 16th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft after he starred at Iowa State.

His NBA career consisted of three appearances, all for the Sacramento Kings in 2014.

Tim McGraw Takes Hard Onstage Tumble at Cincinnati Concert After Arriving 40 Minutes Late [WATCH]

Tim McGraw took a hard fall in the middle of his Cincinnati concert Thursday night, adding another rocky moment to a show that had already started late.

The country icon arrived nearly 45 minutes behind schedule before eventually taking the stage at Riverbend Music Center.

The 59 year old singer was performing “I Like It, I Love It” when his cowboy boot became caught on the flooring.

McGraw lost his balance, tumbled backward and landed on his backside midway through the show.

Despite the dramatic spill, McGraw quickly got himself back on his feet and continued singing.

He was still holding his microphone when he stood up, and he flashed a smile after recovering from the fall.

McGraw addressed the mishap Friday by posting footage from the concert on Instagram. “Cincinnati, you started our weekend off on the right foot even if I couldn’t stay on mine,” he quipped in the caption.

The singer also thanked the audience for attending and joining him throughout the performance.

“We appreciate you coming out and singing along! Detroit, you’re up!”

McGraw did not immediately reveal the fall when followers began moving through his Instagram post.

He first shared four photographs from the Cincinnati concert, saving the footage of his tumble for the fifth slide.

The fifth slide opened with a fitting voiceover that called attention to the awkward position in which he found himself.

“Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.”

The video then showed McGraw losing his footing and falling backward as he performed.

His arms flailed while he tried to regain his balance, but he ultimately landed on his backside before quickly popping back up.

The fall followed a difficult beginning to the evening, as the concert did not start when expected.

McGraw appeared onstage at approximately 9:40 p.m., roughly 40 minutes after the scheduled start, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

When McGraw finally walked onto the stage, he immediately acknowledged that he had made it to the venue.

“I made it!” he told the waiting Cincinnati crowd after his delayed arrival.

The “Live Like You Were Dying” singer also apologized to those in attendance for the late start.

He explained that travel and weather issues were responsible for the delay before moving ahead with the concert.

WATCH:

Thursday night was not the first time McGraw had fallen during a live performance.

He previously collapsed from dehydration while appearing at the Country to Country festival in Dublin, Ireland, in March 2018.

McGraw responded to that earlier incident with another joke on social media.

At the time, he posted a photograph showing himself wearing scuba gear at the bottom of the ocean and simply captioned the image, “Hydrating.”

During the Cincinnati show, McGraw did not deliver a tribute to the late Dolly Parton.

However, he had honored the country legend through a social media post earlier in the week, writing about her influence as both a person and an entertainer.

“She was an icon and showed us all what was possible, not only as a human but as an entertainer,” McGraw wrote on Instagram.

His message described Parton as an example for the performers who followed her.

“She was the blueprint, head and shoulders above anyone that came before her and all those of us that have come after.”

McGraw continued his tribute by praising the kindness, grace, humor and smile that Parton displayed.

“Everything she did, she did it with kindness, grace and that famous wit and smile. It’s been hard to not be in tears all day. There will never be another Dolly Parton,” he added.

Although McGraw did not mention Parton during his Cincinnati appearance, his earlier Instagram tribute made his feelings clear.

Meanwhile, his latest social media post allowed him to laugh at his own rough landing while thanking the Cincinnati audience and turning his attention toward Detroit.

Elon Musk Uses Grok to Roast Billie Eilish’s Woke Virtue-Signaling [WATCH]

In the fast-moving arena of celebrity culture and online discourse, few moments capture the tension between public statements and private lifestyles quite like the recent exchange involving pop star Billie Eilish, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and the AI known as Grok.

On August 27, 2026, Eilish posted a behind-the-scenes video promoting her newest fragrance, Eilish Intense, available through her official store.

The sleek promotional clip featured the singer posing with a radiant gold bottle of the amber gourmand scent, an intensified version of her earlier perfume line that retails for around $88 for the 3.4-ounce bottle.

Within hours, the post drew millions of views and a pointed reply from Musk.

Musk’s message was direct: “@grok please roast Eilish’s hypocrisy in hating on capitalism and ‘stolen land’ while selling perfume and living in luxury on that same land.”

The request referenced two strands of Eilish’s public commentary that critics have long seized upon.

First, her repeated criticisms of extreme wealth and capitalism.

WATCH:

In late 2025, while accepting an award at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards, Eilish told an audience that included billionaires, “If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.”

She has spoken about the need for empathy and redistribution in a “really dark” world, and has directed sharp language at high-profile wealthy individuals, including Musk himself in earlier remarks.

Second, her February 2026 Grammy Awards speech, in which she declared, “No one is illegal on stolen land,” while criticizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and urging continued protest.

Those statements quickly invited scrutiny once Eilish’s real-estate holdings and commercial activities entered the conversation.

Her Los Angeles-area properties sit on land with ancestral ties to the Tongva (Gabrieleno) people.

Tribal representatives noted the location after the Grammys speech, with some online critics asking why the singer had not returned the land or lived more modestly if she viewed the territory as stolen.

Meanwhile, her fragrance business, part of a broader merchandising and branding empire that includes collaborations and product launches, continues to generate significant revenue through capitalist market mechanisms: marketing, retail partnerships with chains like Ulta Beauty, and direct-to-consumer sales.

Grok’s initial response was concise, noting the apparent inconsistency of critiquing capitalism and land ownership while launching a luxury perfume and residing in multi-million-dollar properties funded by the very system under criticism.

Musk pushed for more, asking for something longer, wittier, and a touch more vulgar.

The subsequent roast leaned into the irony with characteristic sharpness: pointing out that the same economic engine Eilish faults produces the wealth that underwrites her lifestyle, creative control, and product lines, while the land she occupies remains firmly under her ownership rather than being returned.

The humor centered on the gap between rhetorical opposition to concentrated wealth and the practical enjoyment of its fruits, perfumes sold as status symbols, homes in exclusive neighborhoods, and the freedom that commercial success affords.

This episode is not isolated. Eilish has faced similar accusations after product restocks and brand deals, with some fans and detractors labeling the pattern “performative.”

Defenders counter that artists can critique systems while operating within them, that she has donated substantial tour proceeds to climate and food equity causes, and that demanding perfect consistency from public figures is often a selective standard.

Critics, including Musk in this instance, argue the gap between speech and action undermines credibility, especially when the rhetoric involves moral claims about illegality, ownership, and economic justice.

The exchange highlights broader cultural dynamics.

Celebrities frequently navigate the contradiction of achieving extraordinary success in market economies while expressing solidarity with critiques of those same economies.

“Stolen land” rhetoric collides with the reality that nearly every inhabited place has layers of conquest and migration stretching back centuries.

Luxury consumer goods, meanwhile, remain popular precisely because capitalism rewards innovation, branding, and desire.

Musk’s decision to enlist Grok turned a product promotion into a public stress test of consistency.

Whether one views the roast as fair accountability or opportunistic needling, it underscored a persistent question: how far can one criticize a system while thriving inside it without inviting charges of hypocrisy?

In the end, Eilish’s perfume continues to sell, her music continues to stream, and the online conversation continues to rage.

The episode serves as a reminder that in an age of permanent digital records, statements about capitalism and land rarely remain abstract when the speaker’s own material circumstances enter the frame.

Musk and Grok simply made the contrast unavoidable, and, for many observers, entertaining.

Harry Styles Surprises Fans with Sweet Dolly Parton Tribute [WATCH]

Harry Styles surprised fans with a heartfelt salute to the late Dolly Parton as he kicked off his Madison Square Garden residency. The tribute unfolded Wednesday night inside the famed New York City venue.

The former One Direction singer paused during the show to recognize the musicians who have influenced him through the years. His words quickly placed Parton at the center of the sold-out evening, as reported by Page Six.

“I wanna say a proper ‘thank you’ to all the musicians over the years that’ve inspired me,” Styles told the crowd. The 32-year-old singer then offered a direct and loving message for Parton.

“Dolly, we love you, thank you so much,” Styles added. Just a few seconds later, Parton’s biggest hit, “I Will Always Love You,” began playing throughout Madison Square Garden.

Styles then asked the sold-out audience to sing along with the song. Fans held up their cell phone lights as the crowd joined together for the musical tribute.

The moment marked a sweet tribute to Parton during the start of Styles’ residency at the New York City venue. It also came only one day after news surfaced that the country star had passed away.

Parton was 80 when she died. The winner of 10 Grammys had secretly been battling cancer before her death, according to the article.

Plans for Parton’s burial were also beginning to emerge following the news. TMZ reported that she will be laid to rest in “a small, private service for immediate family” being planned in Nashville, Tennessee.

Styles was among several musicians who honored Parton after her death. Her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus, also shared a deeply personal tribute to the country star on Instagram Wednesday.

“The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share,” the “Flowers” songstress wrote. Cyrus then explained that some of her most meaningful memories with Parton would remain out of public view.

“Our most sacred moments were private, and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts,” she added.

The message focused on the private connection that Cyrus and Parton shared away from their public lives.

Cyrus, 33, also revealed what she and Parton had discussed during one of their final exchanges. She said one of her “last conversations” with Parton was about “music and metamorphosis.”

The pop star closed her tribute by expressing her enduring love for Parton and acknowledging the grief felt by those closest to her. She also addressed the broader sense of loss surrounding the country star’s death.

“I will always love her and want to make her proud. My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply. We’re in this loss together, and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things. @dollyparton,” Cyrus concluded.

Parton received additional tributes from numerous major figures following her death. Eminem, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Bob Mackie, and many more celebrities also honored her, while Styles brought her music directly to his Madison Square Garden crowd.

Ana Navarro Pushes Back on Hunter Biden’s Claim Trump is ‘Already’ a ‘Dictator’ [WATCH]

“The View” cohost Ana Navarro pushed back after Hunter Biden declared that President Donald Trump is already a dictator. The exchange came during the second half of a two-part interview released Monday on Navarro’s podcast, “Bleep! with Ana Navarro.”

As Fox News reported, Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, argued that the United States has already lost its democracy under Trump. He said that was the case regardless of who wins the midterm elections.

“He is a dictator … in no uncertain terms,” Biden said. “Everybody understands this. He has broken the system. It is gone. It is completely broken.”

Biden pointed to confirmation hearings for Trump’s former personal attorney and accused the president of using his office against journalists.

He also raised the federal prosecution of Don Lemon following Lemon’s coverage of a protest that disrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Trump’s former personal attorney and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was confirmed as attorney general earlier this month.

Lemon has pleaded not guilty to federal civil rights charges stemming from his coverage of the protest and maintains that he was there as a journalist.

“He goes on Air Force One, and he gets a question that he doesn’t like, and he looks at a veteran woman reporter and tells her to ‘Be quiet, piggy,’ and no one says anything,” Biden added.

“We have lost our democracy at this point.”

“Can you imagine if your father had ever done that?” Navarro asked. However, she did not agree with Biden’s declaration that Trump was already a dictator, instead saying that he “would like to be.”

Navarro explained that her own experience shaped her view of the term.

“I fled dictatorship,” she said, noting that she fled the Sandinistas in 1980 and now lives in Miami among Cuban American, Venezuelan American and Haitian American exiles.

“I think he definitely would like to be a dictator and have no guardrails, have no pushback,” Navarro said. Even so, she pointed to the courts, elections and the press as institutions that remain in place.

“I still have some hope in some of the courts. And I think we still have elections. And despite the fact that there’s threats against the free press, we still do have the free press.”

Navarro argued that a larger concern was the lack of congressional oversight from Republicans to balance Trump’s power.

She also questioned whether Democrats would make a meaningful difference if they retook the House and Senate.

“I don’t know that they have the stomach to do some of the s— that Republicans do without any qualms,” Navarro said. Her measured response differed sharply from some of her earlier descriptions of Trump and his conduct.

During a speech at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, Navarro compared Trump with several communist dictators.

She discussed attacks on the free press, government jobs given to relatives and refusals to accept legitimate election losses.

“Let me tell you what communist dictators do, and it’s never just for one day,” Navarro said during that speech. “They attack the free press. They call them the enemy of the people like Ortega does in Nicaragua.”

Navarro continued by referencing the Castros in Cuba and Maduro in Venezuela before asking whether those actions sounded familiar.

“Is there anybody running for president who reminds you of that?” she asked the convention audience.

As recently as May, Navarro again used dictatorial language while discussing Trump on “The View.”

She called him a “wannabe dictator” or said he had “small dictator energy” after a golden statue of Trump was installed at Trump National Doral golf course following the PGA Tour’s Cadillac Championship.

Fox News Digital contacted Navarro for comment but did not immediately receive a response. The White House, meanwhile, rejected Hunter Biden’s claim that Trump was a dictator.

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle also mocked Biden in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

“Just like sleepy Joe, Hunter Biden’s brains are fried potatoes. We wish him and his family well during this difficult time,” Ingle said.

Kylie Jenner Wants ‘Bigger and More Out There’ Implants After Revealing Exact Boob Job Specs [WATCH]

Kylie Jenner is already thinking about changing her chest again. The “Kardashians” star revealed on Wednesday’s episode of the “Better Half With Stas and Vic” podcast that she wants “bigger and more out there” breast implants, as reported by Page Six.

“I do want them bigger,” the 29-year-old makeup mogul told co-hosts Anastasia Karanikolaou and Victoria Villarroel. Emphasizing how often the subject comes up, she added, “I say it every day.”

Jenner then made her desired look especially clear with a blunt declaration. “I want my tits to walk in before I do,” the reality star confirmed during the conversation.

A post shared by ALO (@alo)

Her friends backed up the confession, saying Jenner has discussed increasing her implant size “for the past year.” Karanikolaou, who is also 29, joked, “She has, like, an obsession with big tits.”

However, Jenner apparently is not rushing to schedule the procedure. Karanikolaou noted that her friend originally wanted to have it done before celebrating her 29th birthday earlier this month.

The Kylie Cosmetics creator said she “probably” would not undergo the procedure before turning 30 either. In the meantime, she intends to get her belly button pierced “just to experience it.”

Jenner also has a sparkling vision for that piercing. “I want diamonds dripping from my belly button. Dripping everywhere,” she said while describing what she wants.

Her latest implant remarks arrive one year after she went viral for publicly disclosing the precise details of her boob job. She shared the information in a TikTok comment after a social media user asked how she achieved the “most perfect, natural” chest and got “them to sit like that, respectfully.”

In June 2025, Jenner provided a detailed response about her implants. “445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! … Hope this helps lol,” she wrote.

According to London’s Centre for Surgery, 445 cc is estimated to fall between a D and DD cup, depending on the person’s starting breast size. A moderate profile is intended to create the most natural appearance.

Jenner also publicly identified her surgeon as Dr. Garth Fisher when she shared the specifications. On Wednesday’s podcast episode, she explained that the disclosure has resulted in people calling his office “all the time … asking for [her] information.”

The conversation moved beyond cosmetic procedures as Jenner addressed how she manages her online presence. The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum confirmed that she personally operates her social media accounts without a team handling her posts.

“It’s just me,” Jenner told listeners. “When I post things, I never really run it by anyone. I’m also doing Kylie Cosmetics and Khy, those Instagrams.”

Still, she does not plan to maintain complete control forever. Jenner said she expects to “hand it off” to someone next year so she can “relax,” explaining that managing everything “consumes a lot of [her] time.”

Jenner also responded to rumors that she and Karanikolaou had fallen out after her longtime friend missed her birthday celebration.

Page Six reported last week that the pair are “still friends” and “just haven’t been hanging out as much as they used to.”

The Hulu personality dismissed the speculation about their friendship during Wednesday’s episode. Laughing at the claims that they are no longer close, Jenner said, “I think it’s funny. I just really don’t care.”

Dolly Parton Honored by Royal Family in Deeply Moving Buckingham Palace Tribute [WATCH]

Buckingham Palace honored Dolly Parton with a moving musical tribute on Wednesday morning, one day after the country singer’s death.

During the Changing of the Guard ceremony, the military band performed Parton’s hit song “9 to 5” in remembrance of her, as reported by Page Six.

King Charles and Queen Camilla shared footage from the ceremony on social media, bringing the Buckingham Palace moment to their followers.

A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily)

Their post paired the band’s performance with a message celebrating the joy, comfort and inspiration Parton gave to so many people.

The caption also singled out Parton’s Imagination Library and the millions of children who received free books through the program.

In doing so, the royal message connected her music with the generosity remembered following her death.

The royals concluded their message with a direct reference to another of Parton’s iconic releases, writing, “We will always ❤️ you.”

That brief closing gave the tribute another personal nod to the music associated with the late singer.

Viewers responded warmly in the comments beneath the footage. Social media users called the performance “wonderfully done” and “perfect,” while many wrote that it “brought [them] to tears.”

The reaction reflected the emotional weight of a military band playing “9 to 5” at Buckingham Palace so soon after the announcement. The ceremony offered a royal remembrance centered squarely on Parton’s music.

Parton’s nephew announced her death at 80 in an emotional video on Tuesday. Her representatives later confirmed to Page Six that she had been “bravely facing a brief battle with cancer.”

The representatives’ statement said Parton died surrounded by loved ones. It then emphasized the joy, hope, integrity, and generosity she brought to others throughout her life and career.

“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched,” the statement continued.

It added, “Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand.”

That statement echoed the themes in the royal family’s post, which also emphasized Parton’s joy and the reach of her generosity.

Buckingham Palace specifically noted the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library.

Parton had first hinted at her “health challenges” last year, although she did not give fans additional details at the time. She also made headlines for canceling multiple appearances.

Days before her death, the Grammy winner discussed her health in her final interview with People.

She said, “I am dealing with some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over [my husband], Carl [Thomas Dean].”

Carl Thomas Dean had died in March 2025 at 82 years old following an undisclosed prolonged illness. At the time of his death, he and Parton had been married for nearly 59 years.

Parton later addressed her grief in a May 2025 conversation with “Entertainment Tonight.” Speaking about Dean, the “Hannah Montana” alum said she would “miss him … for the rest of my life.”

She also described the difficulty of adjusting after nearly 59 years with her husband. Parton said, “I’m having to really go through a lot trying to figure out how to be without him because I was with him for so long.”

Those comments gave a candid account of the grief Parton was carrying after Dean’s death. Her final People interview then connected her own health issues with the time she had spent watching over him.

Against that recent history, Wednesday’s ceremony kept its focus on Parton’s music and charitable reach. The band performed “9 to 5,” while the accompanying royal message highlighted the comfort and inspiration she provided.

The result was a concise but emotional remembrance from King Charles and Queen Camilla.

With footage of the Buckingham Palace performance and a loving musical reference in the caption, the royals joined those honoring Parton after her death.
