The President of the United States’ “personal attorney,” who brokered a “deal” on behalf of his “client” (the president) with a porn star, will assert his 5th Amendment rights with respect to the investigation into his deal with Ms. Daniels, according to NBC News.

Fearless prediction. Look to see Raj Shah behind the White House podium tomorrow, due to the fact that the usual press slug, Sarah Flackabee Slanders had a previously scheduled ethics transplant that she just couldn’t move. Or an early lunch date with Sean Hannity. Or something, anything to keep her from having to step behind […]

Ivana Trump is one of the more skillful trolls in the celebrity-verse these days. Today she told Page Six: that her ex husband shouldn’t seek re-election in 2020. The messages you can find between the lines are priceless. “I’ll tell you something, I don’t think it’s necessary.” “He has a good life and he has […]
