Clayton Echard isn’t done clearing up rumors about his love life and whether he was set to become a father.
The Bachelor alum was caught up in a second major scandal since his season, arguably one of the worst Bachelor seasons we’ve seen.
But things got way worse after the show, despite how awkward things got when he declared his love to Rachel and Gabby before trying to win Susie back.
Or at least the accusations against him did.
Last summer, Clayton found himself caught up in claims that he had fathered a set of twins with a woman with whom he had a fling.
The woman wanted to remain anonymous and was set to do business with Clayton, who had moved to Arizona and entered real estate.
But before they made a deal, they ended up getting intimate — something The Bachelor star surely regrets now.

Former President Donald Trump is attacking Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s stance on the Covid-19 vaccine in an apparent attempt to divert voters from his independent presidential campaign.
Trump’s stance on the Covid vaccine has shifted from supporting vaccination to anti-vaccination in recent months. The former president claims he will “not give one penny” to schools that require Covid-19 vaccines. However, Trump also boasted about his program to develop the vaccine, Operation Warp Speed, during the pandemic, calling it “one of the greatest miracles” of his time in office.
Political analysts say that Trump’s statements are politically calculated to counter the threat that he views from Kennedy.
Trump seems to be retracting his support for Covid vaccines after Kennedy has been attracting anti-vax voters to his campaign. Trump has reprimanded voters “who want to vote [for Kennedy] because you think he’s an anti-vaxxer.”

In a recent event organized by Turning Point Faith, a right-wing organization, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk made a series of controversial statements regarding women’s rights and health issues.
In an extensive monologue, Kirk blamed birth control for making “young ladies” “angry and bitter.”
He said, “We basically told a great generation of young women’ don’t get married, don’t have kids, go get a corporate job,’ and it’s created mass political hysteria. And then in their early 30s they get really upset because they say, ‘you know, the boys don’t want to date me anymore,’ because they’re not at their prime and people get mad when I say that — well, it’s just true.”
His misogynistic perspective on gender equality was met with much criticism as such comments contribute to the age-old societal pressure on women to prioritize marriage and motherhood and dismiss their personal and professional aspirations.

The ritual surrounding the annual State of the Union is never complete until the president’s opposition has presented its rebuttal — occasionally in an embarrassing manner.
Katie Britt, the junior Republican senator from Alabama, delivered the GOP’s rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s address on Thursday. Her impassioned, breathless speech — delivered at times in an Asmr-esque whisper from what appeared to be her kitchen — ended up feeling more like a rejected audition tape for a supporting role on “Grey’s Anatomy” than the hard-hitting political sparring favored by Biden’s Republican critics.

A majority of states have already legalized cannabis to some degree, and only some 10 percent of Americans believe it should remain prohibited in every form. Yet some Republicans have continued to oppose a decades-long effort to remove the drug from the federal list of Schedule I drugs — those considered to have “a high potential for abuse” and “no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.” And lately, we’ve started to see exactly which voters support this intransigence: religious “trad life” influencers.

Jen Psaki has a message Monday night for conservatives endorsing the conspiracy theory that Taylor Swift is a Democratic plant ahead of the 2024 presidential election: “Shake it off!”
The MSNBC journalist opened an “Inside With Jen Psaki” segment on Swift’s history in politics by breaking down how the biggest pop star in the world went from being “notably and publicly apolitical” in 2018 to a figure that some conservatives, including Fox News’ Jesse Watters and former GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, propose to be a nefarious operative to get President Joe Biden to a second term.
Such theories come not only after her omnipresent popularity in pop culture and beyond with her Eras tour last year, but also in her support of LGBTQ Americans through the Equality Act, her endorsement of Biden in 2020 and her raising the alarm on the impact of overturning Roe vs. Wade in 2022.

Christian nationalists are joining forces to recruit swing-state, Maga-leaning churches to help elect Donald Trump in 2024. It’s a brazen effort to transform religious congregations — which are technically supposed to keep electoral politics out of the pulpit — into a campaign powerhouse for the former president.
During a weekend broadcast of his podcast, the influential Christian nationalist “apostle” Lance Wallnau unveiled a new collaboration with Turning Point USA that aims to get “civically enlightened” pastors to turn out their faithful for the “America First agenda.” The effort will be primarily focused,...

House Republican leader, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-New York), rescinded her endorsement from Craig Riedel, a House of GOP candidate, due to the criticisms he made against former President Donald Trump.
On January 4, Stefanik announced on X that she would no longer endorse Riedel.
“Earlier this week, I informed Craig Riedel (Ohio-9) that I will be withdrawing my endorsement,” she wrote. “I was very disappointed in his inappropriate comments regarding President Trump.”
“As we begin 2024, my focus is on ensuring we nominate the strongest candidates on the ballot who are committed to electing President Trump this November and expanding our House GOP Majority,” Stefanik declared.
Riedel is a GOP former state representative running for Congress.
He made it clear in an audio recording that he would not endorse Trump and noted that his habit of insulting others does not seem presidential.
The recording was posted by the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk on X.

Roseanne Barr Shocks Crowd With Unhinged Rant Against ‘Communists’ & Supporting Trump At AmericaFest
Comedian Roseanne Barr made controversial statements when she appeared at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Arizona.
At the event, described by the conservative group as a celebration of constitutional rights and freedoms, Barr took the stage and expressed her support for former President Donald Trump.
“I just wanna say that I’m just all in,” she started. “Because I know if I ain’t all in, they’re going to put my a– in a gulag. If he loses, I know what they’re gonna do.”
Barr continued, “And I don’t wanna go to a re-education camp and have to give all my money to a bunch of losers that never know how [to] get a job. I don’t care about them.”
“If we don’t stop these horrible communists, do you hear me? I’m asking you to hear me!… Stalinists! Communists! With a huge helping of Nazi fascists thrown in.

Turning Point USA — the far-right, Christian nationalist group run by Charlie Kirk — is kicking off its annual AmericaFest in Phoenix on Saturday. Tpusa bills AmericaFest as a bash for “like-minded” conservatives to celebrate “the greatest country in the world, America.”
But in addition to patriotism, many of the gala’s headliners appear to be of like mind about something much darker: a distrust, distaste, or outright hatred of Jewish people. The celebration comes on the heels of Kirk himself having been called out by prominent conservatives for creating “an anti-Semite problem” for the right.

On Wednesday, Elon Musk retaliated against major advertisers leaving X (formerly Twitter) following his antisemitic remarks on the platform, and told them to “go fuck yourself” during The New York Times’ DealBook Summit. His remarks have since gained cheers from right-winger commentators as the billionaire continues to blame his platform’s decline on anyone but himself.
Turning Point CEO Charlie Kirk took to Truth Social to rally behind Musk, writing, “Elon Musk drops the Hammer on advertisers who bailed on X following antisemitism smears made against him,” before rooting, “Go Elon!

While conventional wisdom has long held that Republicans, and particularly evangelicals, are the staunchest allies of Israel in the U.S., the latest bloody exchanges between the state and Hamas militants have revealed fault lines in that critical base of support. Rather than close ranks to back Israeli attacks on Gaza, some right-wing influencers have turned on each other.
For instance, Islamophobic conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer and pro-Russia Maga influencer Jackson Hinkle, who mere weeks ago appeared to have a friendly relationship on X (formerly Twitter), are now sniping at each other over the conflict.

Amid a bl0w-out commercial and critical response to her $145 million “Barbie” movie, director Greta Gerwig briefly noted the ongoing online bashing taking place amid right-wing circles.
Speaking to “The New York Times” amid a comprehensive conversation about the film, Gerwig was asked if she expected the negative reaction from right-wingers.
“No, I didn’t,” she stated. “Certainly, there’s a lot of passion. My hope for the movie is that it’s an invitation for everybody to be part of the party and let go of the things that aren’t necessarily serving us as either women or men.”
The alleged backlash to “Barbie,” including conservative commentator Ben Shapiro showing up to theaters ironically dressed like Ken and then posting a 43-minute video rant about its alleged sins, is unfortunately par for the course in the modern pop culture landscape.

At first blush, it would seem that the right wing would be just as excited as everyone else for the Barbie movie, which opens in wide release this Friday. There is, to be sure, much for conservatives to love: the doll Margot Robbie’s character is based on is a white woman who hews to conventional feminine beauty standards. She has no reproductive organs, so she can’t have sex out of wedlock or get pregnant; nor does she have any orifices, so both speech and sodomy are out of the question.

Donald Trump promised to make America xenophobic again by bringing back his travel ban, a move that Rolling Stone reported he was considering in May.
“When I return to office, the travel ban is coming back even bigger and much stronger than before,” Trump said Saturday during a speech to the far-right Turning Point Action conference led by Charlie Kirk. “The U.S. will not be condemned for the same fate as countries like France.”

Recently-fired former Fox News host and current Twitter talk show anchor Tucker Carlson shared what he believes it means to be an American: pure unadulterated hate.
“If you’re an American, you have a right to decide who you hate,” Carlson told the audience at the annual Turning Point Action conference on Saturday evening. “You have a fundamental right… If you’re an adult, you get to decide, and you get to decide on the basis of whatever you want.”

If there’s one person who’s not losing sleep over what appears to be a mass exodus of diversity, equity and inclusion executives at Hollywood studios, it’s Megyn Kelly.
Following the news, as reported by The Daily Mail, that Disney has lost $900 million on a string of box office disappointments, and considering that recent weeks have seen Dei execs from Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Netflix and the Academy be laid off or step down from their posts, Kelly concluded in Thursday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show” that the Mouse House’s turn toward “wokeness” is to blame.
“Bit by bit, all these media companies and big tech companies are eliminating their heads of diversity because it’s just a wasted position where somebody just glorifies their wokeness and tries to lecture, so it’s failing,” Kelly said, in conversation with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

News Nation anchor Dan Abrams says conservative commentators’ theories that ESPN is “going down” because of its left-leaning politics ignore some “expensive facts,” suggesting that the network fired 20 high-profile hosts after it overspent on things like Big 12 football games and celebrity sports analyst Pat McAfee.
The “Dan Abrams Live” host said Wednesday highlighted the analysis of Charlie Kirk and other right-leaning commentators who repeated the theory that ESPN’s “woke” politics somehow led to the firing of longtime lead NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy, Jalen Rose, Steve Young, Suzy Kolber, Max Kellerman, Keyshawn Johnson and others.
“So what is driving this at ESPN?,” Kirk said in a clip played by Abrams. “The answer is, ESPN has gone woke, and they’re not as boundary-pushing or as funny or as interesting … this is happening because ESPN has decided to go a political route.”
Abrams acknowledged that the network had, in fact,...

Music Hall of Williamsburg, a popular venue in Brooklyn, has canceled a rental contract with Candace Owens’ group Blexit, which was set to host an event there this weekend.
Owens — the controversial far-right commentator known for her close ties to Kanye West and “documentary” The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM — founded the Blexit Foundation in 2018 in an effort to encourage Black voters to leave the Democratic Party.

While Jamie Foxx continues to recover, his team is shutting down rumours.
Recently, claims have been spreading online that the “Collateral” star’s mysterious medical complication, which sent him to hospital in April, was caused by a Covid-19 vaccine.
Read More: Jamie Foxx’s Daughter Corinne Slams ‘Wild’ Speculation About His Health; Says He’s ‘Been Out Of The Hospital For Weeks’
The rumour caught on after gossip columnist A.J. Benza appeared on the “Ask Dr. Drew” podcast and made the unsubstantiated claim.
Benza claimed that he’d heard Foxx suffered a blood clot due to the vaccine, causing a stroke.
But in a statement to NBC News, reps for the actor called the rumour “completely inaccurate.”
Despite Benza not naming the source of his claims, or responding to NBC News’ request for comment, the rumour has spread online, thanks to personalities like right-wing commentator Candace Owens amplifying the claims on her YouTube show.

Fresh off a siege against Target for the crime of releasing a Pride collection, far-right influencers have been roving the digital countryside looking for the subject of their next meltdown and have landed on a surprising choice: fast food chain Chick-fil-a.
Why are conservative accounts attempting to gin up outrage about Chick-fil-a? Because the company has (gasp) a diversity, equity, and inclusion program. The fervor over the famously Christian chain has reached the point that lawmakers are now getting involved. RawStory pointed out that Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.

Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk is cheerleading the far-right boycott of Target over the retailer’s Pride collection — which included trans-friendly youth apparel and other LGBTQ-positive gear — for what Kirk decries as “their support for grooming kids.”
Kirk’s condemnation of the retailer coincided with Tpusa’s second-annual Pastors Summit in Nashville, Tennessee, this past week, where Kirk also denounced Target, telling a crowd of hundreds of religious leaders: “If you love God, you must hate evil.”
Yet in delivering these fevered messages about morality and child welfare, Kirk had an odd benefactor,...

Turning Point USA — the right-wing powerhouse run by Charlie Kirk — began as a campus crusade for capitalism. Its mission, as recorded with the IRS since 2012, is to enlighten students about “fiscal responsibility” and the virtues of “free markets.”
But in recent months, Tpusa has adopted a cause that’s very different from foisting Milton Friedman on frat boys. The group is putting its cash, and its political cachet, behind Christian nationalism, promising to “restore America’s biblical values.” Indeed, Tpusa has embraced a new crusade to “empower Christians to change the trajectory of our nation.

The sudden ouster of Tucker Carlson from his primetime perch at Fox News is drawing a flood of concern and complaint from Maga world and other conservative voices, both mainstream and extreme.
Former president Donald Trump said he was “shocked” and that Carlson was “a very good person, a very good man and very talented” in reaction to Monday’s news. He added, “I don’t know if it was voluntary or was it somebody fired, but I think Tucker has been terrific. Especially over the last year or so he’s terrific to me.

The Maga preacher Sean Feucht made an unsettling guest appearance in the Tulsa, Oklahoma church of Jackson Lahmeyer, founder of Pastors for Trump, the leading group of evangelicals supporting the former president’s reelection bid.
Standing on stage at Sheridan.Church on Wednesday, Feucht made a direct call for Christian nationalism — declaring that America should be governed according to biblical law for the benefit of believers, as a way to prepare for the second coming of Christ.
“It’s all part of The King coming back,” Feucht told the audience.

During a Tucker Carlson Tonight interview this week, when not talking about the urge to impregnate women, Elon Musk warned the Fox News host that the artificial intelligence tools developed by OpenAI may be “untruthful” if they’re trained to be “politically correct.” He also mused about creating an alternative to their ChatGPT bot, referring to this hypothetical product as “TruthGPT.” (Musk sat on the board of OpenAI when it was a nonprofit research organization but resigned in 2018 — now it’s a for-profit company with heavy investment from Microsoft.)

The Grammys was its usual lavish spectacle featuring scores of styled-out celebrities on Sunday night. The buttoned-up, right-wing political commentariat was not pleased, particularly about Sam Smith and Kim Petras‘ performance of “Unholy” — which featured fire, red lighting, and Smith sporting a pair of horns.
“Don’t fight the culture wars, they say,” griped right-wing commentator Liz Wheeler. “Meanwhile demons are teaching your kids to worship Satan. I could throw up.”
“This…is…evil,” Ted Cruz, a United States senator, responded.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) received House committee assignments on Tuesday after the two representatives were stripped of their roles for suggesting violence against Democratic politicians. McCarthy also indicated that he will allow Rep. George Santos (R-n.Y.), who is currently facing multiple investigations for lying to voters about key aspects of his identity and resume, a committee position.
Greene was removed from the House Education and Labor Committee, and the Budget Committee in Feb. 2021. The move was prompted by backlash over statements she had made before her election into Congress,...

The week of chaos, confusion, and (literal) infighting that preceded Kevin McCarthy’s election as speaker was a pretty strong indication that the Republican Party’s control of the House of Representatives was going to be a shitshow.
They’ve been in control for a week now. Yes, it’s been a shitshow, but the past few days have also served as a reminder that along with all of the antics comes a laser-like focus on derailing the American government.
Republicans have hit the ground running since McCarthy belatedly took up the gavel last Friday.

Update: After five roll call votes and no speaker. the House is adjourning for the night.
When they return, many members will be marking the second anniversary of the attack on the Capitol.
Previously: As expected, Kevin McCarthy fell short on the 11th ballot for speaker of the House.
While there are reports of an imminent deal with at least some of the dissidents, an agreement doesn’t appear to be finalized as McCarthy’s allies plan to seek an adjournment until noon Et/9 Am Pt on Friday.
On the floor, Democrats have been in a large huddle around Hakeem Jeffries and other leaders.
Jeffries received 212 votes in the most recent roll call, McCarthy received 200, Byron Donalds garnered 12, Kevin Hern got 7 and Donald Trump got one. There were some guffaws when the clerk read Trump’s vote total.
