Bravo star calls to ban Trump voters from Mexican restaurants
A former Bravo star has been slammed after claiming 'fat [expletive]' Trump voters should be 'banned' from Mexican, Chinese and Indian restaurants. Jennifer Welch, who formerly starred on short-lived reality show, Sweet Home, Oklahoma, took aim at white MAGA voters who support deporting illegal migrants but still have 'the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant.'
Appearing on her I've Had It podcast, Welch ranted: 'I've had it with white people that triple Trumped. that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go to a gay hairdresser. I don't think you should be able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel.' Laying into 'triple Trumpers' - people who voted for Trump in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 elections - she said: 'If you want to triple Trump, if you want to brow beat DEI, if you want to brow beat gay people, you want to brow beat black people as you have been doing for hundreds of years… White people that triple Trumped should be boycotted, banned from enjoying the best thing that America has to offer, which is multiculturalism.'
'Get your fat [expletive] out of the Mexican restaurant. Get your fat [expletive] over at a Cracker Barrel because nobody wants to see your [expletive] smug [expletive], teeny weeny pink arm, big gut around. Nobody wants to see that [expletive], no one.' Fans quickly slammed the 'pompous and arrogant' interior designer - with one writing: 'It's always the most intolerant and hateful pretending to love everyone.' Others wrote: 'Yes listen to this elite rich white woman. What a pompous, arrogant thing to say. Uber Karen. I voted for Trump and I'm having a burrito with chorizo and spinach dip for lunch today. I know a lot of black, Hispanic and Indian people who voted Trump three times as well.'
Back in April Welch had a tense debate with former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (pictured) when he joined I've Had It to discuss the problems within the Democratic Party. Emanuel previously served as Chicago's mayor from 2011 to 2019, was an adviser to President Bill Clinton, served as President Barack Obama 's chief of staff and was an ambassador to Japan under President Joe Biden. The two Democrats struggled to find a consensus on transgender rights and their conversation quickly morphed into a tense debate, hinting at a divide that may cause trouble in 2028.
Welch, a more progressive member of the left, laid into Emanuel during their conversation when he accused Kamala Harris of not prioritizing economic issues, noting that Democrats weren't 'really good about the family room issues.' 'The only room we were doing really well was the bathroom, and that's the smallest room in the house,' he continued, referencing the ongoing debate about allowing transgender individuals to use the bathroom they prefer. The comment set Welch on a tirade, and she quickly responded that his claim was, 'total bull[expletive].'
Emanuel argued that transgender issues were 'tangential,' and not a core value on the left, to which Welch vehemently disagreed. 'I'm so sick of Democrats like you selling out and saying this. You know who talks about trans people more than anybody? MAGA. MAGA is the most genital-obsessed political party I have ever seen,' she said. Welch argued that Harris did have a comprehensive economic plan and even referenced the vice president's proposal to provide up to $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers.
She went on to slam Donald Trump for 'droning on about Hannibal Lecter' and accused Democrats of losing because they're 'playing the game with the rulebook' while Republicans have 'ripped up the rulebook.' Emanuel then threw up his hands and pushed back, saying as mayor, he did deal with the 'bathroom issue' but that transgender rights were not a cornerstone of the Democratic party. 'They're the gender-obsessed weirdos, [Republicans], not us [Democrats]. We're the ones who fight for Social Security. We fight for Medicare, and yeah, we're not gonna bully trans people,' Welch argued.

Starmer to welcome Zelensky to No 10 ahead of Trump meeting with Putin
Starmer to welcome Zelensky to No 10 ahead of Trump meeting with Putin The Prime Minister's meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky comes after he said Britain stands ready to "increase pressure" on Russia if necessary. Prime Minister Keir Starmer (Image: Toby Melville -) Sir Keir Starmer will be joined by the Ukrainian president at Downing Street on Thursday morning, as Europe braces for the outcome of Donald Trump's face-to-face discussions with his Russian counterpart later this week. The Prime Minister's meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky comes after he said Britain stands ready to "increase pressure" on Russia if necessary. Meanwhile, Mr Trump threatened Russia with "severe consequences" if a ceasefire was rejected by its leader. During a call with the US president and European allies on Wednesday, Sir Keir praised Mr Trump for his work to bring forward a "viable" chance of an end to the war. But concerns have been raised over Mr Zelensky's exclusion from the meeting between the Mr Trump and Mr Putin, which is set to take place in Alaska on Friday. Speaking on Wednesday, Sir Keir said: "This meeting on Friday that President Trump is attending is hugely important. Article continues below "As I've said personally to President Trump for the three-and-a-bit years this conflict has been going on, we haven't got anywhere near a prospect of actually a viable solution, a viable way of bringing it to a ceasefire. "And now we do have that chance, because of the work of that the president has put in." Further sanctions could be imposed on Russia should the Kremlin fail to engage, and the UK is already working on its next package of measures targeting Moscow, he said. "We're ready to support this, including from the plans we've already drawn up to deploy a reassurance force once hostilities have ceased," he told allies. "It is important to remind colleagues that we do stand ready also to increase pressure on Russia, particularly the economy, with sanctions and wider measures as may be necessary." Sir Keir and European leaders have repeatedly said discussions about Ukraine should not happen without it, amid concerns the country is being sidelined in negotiations about its own future. Asked if it was his decision to not invite Mr Zelensky to the meeting, Mr Trump said "no just the opposite", before adding that a second meeting with the Ukrainian president could take place afterwards. "We had a very good call, he was on the call, President Zelensky was on the call. I would rate it a 10, you know, very, very friendly," he told reporters in Washington. He added: "There's a very good chance that we're going to have a second meeting which will be more productive than the first, because the first is I'm going to find out where we are and what we're doing." The US president has previously suggested a truce could involve some "swapping" of land. It is believed one of the Russian leader's demands is for Ukraine to cede parts of the Donbas region which it still controls. But Mr Zelensky has already rejected any proposal that would compromise Ukraine's territorial integrity, something that is forbidden by the country's constitution. Article continues below A joint statement from the Coalition of the Willing, which is co-chaired by Sir Keir, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, said "international borders must not be changed by force". It added: "Sanctions and wider economic measures to put pressure on Russia's war economy should be strengthened if Russia does not agree to a ceasefire in Alaska." The Coalition of the Willing is a European-led effort to send a peacekeeping force to Ukraine in the event of truce.

Here's everything we can expect when Starmer and Zelensky meet today
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has had more than his fair share of 'very big weeks' since Russia's invasion in 2022. But this week may prove to be among the most important. Tomorrow, Donald Trump will meet Vladimir Putin in Alaska for what's being described by the White House as a 'listening exercise' with the aim of laying groundwork for peace in Ukraine. Leaders from across Europe were able to press the US President with their arguments for what terms would and would not be acceptable in a virtual call yesterday afternoon. And this morning, Prime Minister Keir Starmer will welcome Zelensky to Downing Street for private talks. They will likely focus on strategies for responding to whatever emerges from the high-stakes Alaska summit – whether it's a solid ceasefire proposal, or something less substantial. Craig Munro breaks down Westminster chaos into easy to follow insight, walking you through what the latest policies mean to you. Sent every Wednesday. Sign up here. No press conference is planned from the pair, so we may end up having to rely on a short description of the meeting from No 10 to learn what was discussed. Both leaders are likely to be in a good mood after the Teams chat yesterday was described in glowing terms by both Europe and the US. Immediately afterwards, Trump rated the meeting as 'a ten' and came out with strong words for Putin, saying the consequences would be 'very severe' if no ceasefire is agreed. During the call, Starmer had praised the US President for his work in creating a 'chance' for a 'viable way of bringing [the conflict] to a ceasefire'. More Trending Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron described it as an 'excellent meeting', and said there was 'strong alignment' on priorities like ensuring no decisions about Ukraine should be taken without the Ukrainians. Friedrich Merz, the German Chancellor, said the Europeans 'are doing everything to set the course for this [Alaska] meeting in the right direction'. When announcing his intention to meet with Putin last week, Trump also mooted a potential subsequent trilateral meeting where Zelensky would join them. In his press conference following the call yesterday, Trump once again raised this possibility, saying: 'We'll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself, if they'd like to have me there.'

Indian Super League in turmoil with domestic game on brink of collapse
Crystal Palace may be disappointed the court of arbitration for sport ruled against them on Monday but at least they now know their fate. Imagine if all Premier League clubs were waiting for a court decision that would, in effect, determine whether the season would go ahead at all. That is the situation the 14 Indian Super League (ISL) teams find themselves in. The whole of football there has been waiting for a ruling from the supreme court. It was expected in mid-July but has still not arrived. The season is due to start in September. Or at least, it was. The ISL, formed in 2013, has grown from eight teams to 14, becoming the top tier along the way. Football Sports Development Ltd (FSDL) runs the competition but put the 2025-26 season on hold on 11 July. At the time, despite the shock, most stakeholders felt it would go ahead but confidence, trust and bank balances have taken a turn for the worse. Sunil Chhetri, the biggest name in the Indian game and the third-highest active international men's goalscorer, summed it up. 'When my phone went off a few weeks ago informing us of a delay in pre-season by a fortnight, I must admit it made me smile,' the 41-year-old wrote on social media. 'And that's because I was on vacation … I had more time than I had bargained to get in shape. 'That 'fortnight' has now changed to 'indefinitely' and that smile's been wiped out … Everybody in the Indian football ecosystem is worried, hurt, scared about the uncertainty we are faced with.' On Monday, the president of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), Kalyan Chaubey, used the c-word. 'It is true that we are going through crisis for which we are not responsible,' he told the Press Trust of India. 'Some self-claimed reformers with vested interests have created this situation. I believe, by the grace of God, we will collectively be able to tide over this crisis.' It all stems from the fact that the 15-year Master Rights Agreement (MRA) between FSDL and the AIFF, which received more than £4m annually from its commercial partner, is due to end in December, before the season's halfway point. There were discussions earlier this year and new proposals from FSDL but no deal was reached. Then the supreme court told the federation not to negotiate until it rules on the AIFF's constitution. So nothing is happening. The AIFF did not comment when contacted by the Guardian. A source close to FSDL said its hands were tied by the court. 'FSDL made a leap of faith in Indian football 15 years ago,' the source said. 'The current structure is atypical in football. Moving forward, there is a requirement to move to a structure in line with global best practices such as the Premier League, where the clubs are full or majority owners of the league themselves. The proposal was that clubs become majority owners of the league, with FSDL and the AIFF still involved as equity holders, so everyone has skin in the game and aligned incentives. AIFF prefers to continue with the fixed fee every year and that was the situation in April when the supreme court said that the AIFF needs to pause.' Limbo, however, can be costly, as people still need to be paid. Even when there is football, most ISL clubs lose money. Revenue from a central broadcasting and sponsorship pool is pretty much cancelled out by the franchise fee that the owners – who range from the City Football Group to cricket stars such as Virat Kohli and Bollywood's John Abraham – have to pay. Discussions on how the league is organised are welcome and necessary but are on the back burner for now. There are more pressing issues. Three clubs have suspended salaries, football operations or both: Bengaluru, Chennaiyin and Odisha. The owner of Odisha, Rohan Sharma, gave his reasons. 'It becomes harder to justify to my stakeholders to sink Crs upon Crs [tens of millions of rupees] with nothing to show for it, and no end in sight,' he wrote on social media. 'We have: no clarity when the League will Start, nowhere to practise/play/work in Odisha, no way to get sponsorship since there's no season, no way to engage investors with an expiring participation agreement. We hoped something would give, but sadly it hasn't.' Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion That applies not only to those who work for the clubs. The Times of India reported that nine concerned match officials had written to the AIFF. 'The lack of certainty regarding continuation of ISL has created uncertainty around our future and could compel us to seek alternative employment,' the referees said. '[This] would not only impact our livelihoods but also affect the continuity and development of professional refereeing in India.' On Friday, 11 ISL clubs wrote to the governing body in New Delhi to urge it to bring the seriousness of the situation to the attention of the supreme court, threatening legal action if this does not happen. It has become a big mess. Ideally, the court rules sooner rather than later and then everything can fall into place. Sources say about six months are needed to play the league, which must finish by the last day of May, so there is some leeway. But with extra time needed for negotiations between the AIFF and FSDL, and then with broadcasters, sponsors, clubs and players, plus international windows, there is not much.
