Fox News The embarrassing gossip that Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance had sex with a couch was alluded to in passing on Fox News Friday night for the first time, making for a bit of an amusing—if not awkward—moment on the right-wing channel. Vance’s rollout as Donald Trump’s running mate has been largely viewed as less than ideal, thanks in part to his controversial comments about women and voting. In addition, scores of memes have imagined Vance’s relationship with furniture, as a result of a joke post on X from July 15 which claimed to quote Vance’s memoir, Hillbilly Elegy ..read more

I remember the day I unboxed my first supremely luxe beauty editor gifting. I’ll never forget how I felt when Valmont’s decadent DetO2x Cream (a product I still love) arrived at my doorstep. I raced to TikTok, as one does, expecting to blow viewers out of the water with such a steep price tag. That price tag, FYI, was $300, a number that La Mer’s Moisturizing Soft Cream rivals by $80. Shortly thereafter, as I’ve dived deeper into the luxury and p ..read more

Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images In the wake of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ record-breaking fundraising numbers, Ben Shapiro has an answer for anyone wondering if Donald Trump would pick J.D. Vance as his running mate again: “I doubt it.” “I think he probably would have picked somebody like Glenn Youngkin from Virginia in an attempt to broaden out his base,” Shapiro said on the latest episode of his self-titled show, according to Media Matters. “Instead, he went with J.D. Vance feeling, because he was right that at the time, he had a very solid advantage in the race against Joe ..read more

X A great Olympics Opening Ceremony should be a profound, stirring celebration of a country’s history and culture. It should also be absolutely batshit. On those metrics, I would consider Friday’s kickoff to the Paris games a rousing success. The spectacle was, from my perspective, very French: I didn’t understand most of what was going on, but kept being aggressively told it was all very cool and so I convinced myself that I loved it. And then there was the Céline Dion of it all. (Not French, but can speak it!) I could never have—even on my most potent cocktail of melatonin, weed gummy, and w ..read more

The clip was taken “at an unspecified event in 2023 ,” according to Mediaite. “We were taught it was a crazy guy with, like, the bullhorns, you know what I’m talking about? He looked like he’d be ..read more

Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/Getty Images Don’t fuck with cats, and certainly don’t fuck with “childless cat ladies.” It’s a truth Republican vice presidential candidate J. D. Vance has been learning the hard way in recent days, after comments he made during a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson resurfaced online. In the interview, he described Democratic politicians and leaders as “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made...the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.” Vanc ..read more

The former president’s right ear returned to public life after being injured during the assassination attempt on the former president on July 13.

Megyn Kelly Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) doubled down on his comments “childless cat ladies” rant during a Friday appearance on the Megyn Kelly Show. In a clip posted by the KamalaHQ X account, Vance tells Kelly “obviously it was a sarcastic comment,” referring to his “childless cat ladies” comment, adding “people are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance, and the substance of what I said, Megyn—I’m sorry, it is true.” The same audio does not appear anywhere in the full interview posted to Megyn Kelly’s YouTube channel. However, Kelly and Vance do reiterate many of Vance’s grievan ..read more
