Donald Trump Speaks After Shooter Apprehended at White House Correspondents’ Dinner: ‘These Are Crazy People’

Donald Trump Speaks After Shooter Apprehended at White House Correspondents’ Dinner: ‘These Are Crazy People’

President Donald Trump spoke from the White House Briefing Room after he was rushed from the Washington Hilton ballroom by Secret Service as the sound of gunshots rang out. “This was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties with members of the press and in a certain way, it did,” Trump said. “Very unifying…. In one way it was a very beautiful thing to see.” At one point in the speech, he seemed to suggest that his proposed White House ballroom would be a more secure facility than the Hilton. “Look at all of the conditions that took place tonight, and it’s not a particularly secure building, and I didn’t want to say this but this is why we have to have all the attributes of what we’re planning at the White House,” Donald Trump said. “It’s actually a larger room, drone-proof, bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom.” White House reporters like Steve Doocy of Fox News rushed from the event to the briefing room …

Trump loses it over Iran peace deal failure and orders Navy to ‘shoot and kill’ over Hormuz Strait: ‘CRAZY!’

Trump loses it over Iran peace deal failure and orders Navy to ‘shoot and kill’ over Hormuz Strait: ‘CRAZY!’

President Donald Trump in a pair of raging Truth Social posts Thursday announced he has ordered American naval forces to open fire on any Iranian vessel believed to be laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, something he previously claimed was not happening. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said he had ordered the U.S. Navy to “shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be … that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.” “There is to be no hesitation,” the president added. Trump also claimed American minesweepers are currently clearing the narrow waterway “right now” and said he was ordering the minesweeping efforts to “continue … at a tripled up level.” The president’s threat against any Iranian mine-laying vessels comes over a month after he claimed to have destroyed most of Iran’s mining capacity while simultaneously denying that Iran was placing any mines in the strait, a key transit point for roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply each year. It’s unclear to what extent U.S. forces …

‘The Right Amount of Crazy’ | Fintan O’Toole

‘The Right Amount of Crazy’ | Fintan O’Toole

In January, when The New York Times asked Donald Trump whether there were any limits on his global powers, he replied, “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind.” Since whatever morality he ever possessed has long since departed, the remaining question is whether he has also lost his mind. Given that, in the course of his war on Iran, he has chosen to present himself to the world as a genocidal maniac—posting on Truth Social that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will”—the answer may seem all too obvious. Yet to arrive at it we have to tease out the relationships that are always at the heart of his persona: the complex connections between performance and reality, method and madness, bombast and bombs. With Trump, these oppositions are never absolute. The borders between them are always porous. On the one hand, there’s no doubt that in Trump’s chaotic mind there lurks the Madman Theory, a belief …

Ty Cobb: Trump’s attacks on Pope Leo ‘shows you how crazy this man is

Former White House attorney Ty Cobb suggested Thursday that President Trump’s cognitive decline has “accelerated” since his first term, pointing to his recent attacks against public figures such as Pope Leo XIV.   “When he attacks the pope and tries to insist, fraudulently, to the American people that it’s justified because the pope believes that… Source link

Why I Left A Privileged Life Everyone Thought I’d Be Crazy To Give Up

Why I Left A Privileged Life Everyone Thought I’d Be Crazy To Give Up

All my life, I was obsessed with being “the best” and doing everything “right,” even though my parents never placed any kind of crazy pressure on me to do so. Somehow, I developed that obsession all on my own. I excelled in both athletics and the arts and joined every club I could. Always had straight As and graduated from high school in the top 10 of my class. When it came time for college, scholarships came rolling in. I made sure to maintain a spot on the Dean’s list, and while working, going to school, and doing unpaid internships on the side, I managed to graduate with two majors in 3 1/2 years. In the midst of the 2010 economic crash, I found myself searching for my first job. Out of necessity, I ended up doing direct sales. Even though I hated this job and it couldn’t be further from what I wanted to be doing, I rose to the top, selling cable packages door-to-door. I’d come home at night after 12-hour work days …

Ed Miliband blasted for ‘stupid’ and ‘completely crazy’ wartime policy | Politics | News

Ed Miliband blasted for ‘stupid’ and ‘completely crazy’ wartime policy | Politics | News

Kemi Badenoch will visit an oil rig on Monday as she launches a campaign to “get Britain drilling”. The Tory leader has branded Labour’s refusal to grant new oil and gas drilling licences as “stupid” and “completely crazy” as global markets are rocked by the conflict in Iran. The future of Britain’s remaining oil and gas reserves in the North Sea is now one of the key dividing lines in UK politics, and the Conservative leader is adamant the country should “maximise” domestic production. Mrs Badenoch said the “real reason Labour are refusing new licences is that [Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary] Ed Miliband is now running the government”. In a new advertising campaign, the Tories will claim Labour’s “ban on new oil and gas licences” has “left 2.9billion barrels in the ground and risks 200,000 jobs”. The party is also demanding an end to the energy profits levy – the so-called windfall tax – which it blames for stopping investment. Under its plans a new North Sea Authority would have a “single focus …

Mary Beth, Steven Curtis Chapman unveil crazy stories, hard-won wisdom from 40-year marriage in ‘Still Here’

Mary Beth, Steven Curtis Chapman unveil crazy stories, hard-won wisdom from 40-year marriage in ‘Still Here’

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — New York Times bestselling author Mary Beth Chapman and multi-Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman have two new milestones to celebrate: 40 years of marriage and writing their first book together. “Still Here: Life Together on the Long Way Home” (B&H Publishing Group) reveals, for the first time, behind-the-scenes stories of a couple held together by divine grace and mercy. The Chapmans’ story, which began as young love on a college campus, has aged into a cherished but challenging shared journey through the complexities of life. “Still Here” provides a vulnerable narrative from two imperfect people who love God most—and love each other almost as much. Their book doesn’t sugar coat the difficulties in their 41-year marriage. It goes into candid detail about fights, tragedies and the strain brought by Steven’s career on the road. They forgo quick tips and hot takes, instead offering an authentic recollection of lived lessons and hard-won wisdom earned across four decades. “Until now, we have shied away from writing about our marriage because we thought it …

Gamers Hate Nvidia’s DLSS 5. Developers Aren’t Crazy About It Either

Gamers Hate Nvidia’s DLSS 5. Developers Aren’t Crazy About It Either

After a day of widespread, overwhelming pushback, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang doubled down and said gamers are “completely wrong” about DLSS. (You know how much gamers love being told that they’re wrong.) But developers at Capcom and Ubisoft say they didn’t even know what the tech demo would look like and, according to Insider Gaming, found out about it the same time everyone else did and were just as surprised. (Nvidia, Ubisoft, and Capcom did not immediately get back to our request for comment.) “I think the reaction from gamers is understandable,” Marwan Mahmoud, a game developer at Incrypt, wrote in an email to WIRED. “Some games started relying too heavily on these technologies instead of focusing on proper optimization. From a developer perspective, it feels a bit different, because you see DLSS as a tool that helps rather than a core solution.” The problem for many people, developers included, is the one-size-fits-all approach of a technology that can adjust visuals across various game types. “The artist has a style, the artist has an art …
