Trump confessed ear injury was ‘not too bad' at RNC despite wearing oversized bandage, Congressman says
Donald Trump allegedly confessed to GOP colleagues that his ear injury was 'not too bad' at the Republican National Convention, despite wearing his infamous oversized bandage. The then-presidential nominee told Byron Donalds that doctors had advised him to keep the bandage on, the Florida Congressman said, speaking at a GOP conference over the weekend. Trump arrived at the convention in July 2024 wearing the bandage, two days after surviving an attempted assassination while out campaigning in Butler, Pennsylvania, during which a bullet clipped his right ear. Many convention goers decided to mimic the look in solidarity, also sporting bandages of their own. However, Donalds recalled, Trump himself was unenthused about his medical head accessory when the pair met shortly after his convention speech. "I see the bandage, and the second thing [Trump says] is 'what do you think of the bandage?'" Donalds said. "I said, 'I don't like it. Take it off.' That's what I said. 'I don't like it. Take it off.' I said 'let everybody see the ear.'' "He was like, 'you know, it's not too bad. It's not too bad'..."Doc Ronny [Jackson] says, I gotta wear the bandage." 'I'm like 'so what? You're the president just take the thing off,' Donalds added. The president's bandage became the inspiration for many at the RNC, with one Arizona delegate Joe Neglia describing it at the time as 'the newest fashion trend.' 'Everybody in the world is going to be wearing these pretty soon,' Neglia told CBS, while sporting a piece of white tape over his own ear. 'When he came in [to the convention], and there was that eruption of love in the room, I thought, 'what can I do to honor the truth? What can I possibly do?'' 'And then I saw the bandage and I thought, I can do that. So, I put it on simply to honor Trump and to express sympathy with him and unity with him.' At a rally shortly after the convention, Trump appeared to have downgraded his ear bandage, instead sporting a skin-colored band-aid covering the top part of his right ear.

Matt Rife Is Now The Caretaker Of The "Annabelle" Doll, And People Are Rightfully Concerned
Annabelle has a new babysitter! Comedian Matt Rife just announced that he and YouTuber Elton Castee purchased the home of Ed and Lorraine Warren. According to his video, Matt said he is now "the legal guardian for at least the next 5 years" of the Warrens' "haunted collection," which includes the seemingly haunted Annabelle doll. Related: Ed and Lorraine were paranormal investigators depicted in the Conjuring franchise by actors Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. The pair founded the Warren Occult Museum where they housed the allegedly haunted artifacts from their investigations. "We do not legally own the items, but we are the legal guardians and caretakers of the items," Matt said, adding that fans will have a chance to "book a night or weekend" in the Warrens' former home, as an Airbnb. Why on earth anybody in their right mind would want to do that is beyond me. "If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted. You also may know The Conjuring films are my favorite scary movies of all time. So I'm incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history," Matt wrote in a caption alongside several Instagram photos of Ed and Lorraine. "Ed and Lorain[sic] Warren arguably put demonology and paranormal into the mainstream and are the very heart of some of the most famous haunted stories of all time, The Conjuring House, Amityville Horror, et…" Annabelle, which was actually a Raggedy Ann doll, was allegedly moving on its own, according to a student nurse in the '70s. The dramatization with Patrick and Vera led to sequels and other movies about the Warrens and their haunted artifacts. Related: In addition to the overnight stays, Matt and Elton plan to open the house for museum tours to learn of the "haunted history" surrounding the area. According to Tony Spera, the son-in-law of Warrens' said that he and his wife still own the doll and the Warrens' other alleged haunted artifacts but are leasing them to Matt and Elton. While the quirky comedian is obviously stoked to take on this project, his fans are rightfully creeped out given the history of the horrors within that house. One person wrote, "DONT TOUCH ANYTHING!! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT TOUCH ANYTHING!!" "RIP buddy. It's been nice knowing ya," another person wrote. Related: "If you disappear randomly we know why," someone else said. Of course, people couldn't help but find the humor in all this. Somebody said, "Would be very funny if he was very clearly actually possessed during his next special. Doing crowd work like 'Does anyone else here love being an evil doll?'" Republican personality Kimberly Klacik randomly said, "He's too hot to risk his life like this. These are ugly people activities." If you've seen Longlegs than you'll get this joke: Related: Other folks expressed concern that this might not be good for the Warrens' legacy and criticized Matt and Elton's involvement. "This makes me so sad for the doll like no way does she want this," one person wrote. Another person said, "Please honor them and don't turn everthign they've built into a joke." "I hope that people who book stays are respectful to the space." And finally, on a good note, someone said, "Congrats on the purchase. I know you guys are gonna resepct all the items that are in there." What are your thoughts about Matt Rife becoming the caretaker of Annabelle and the house of creepy artifacts?

WWE SummerSlam 2025 Live Results, Winners And Grades On Night 2
WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 2 emanates from MetLife Stadium with almost 55,000 tickets sold. Cody Rhodes will challenge John Cena for the WWE Championship in a rematch of their WrestleMania 41 main event. John Cena shockingly turned babyface out of nowhere this past Friday on SmackDown, but much like Seth Rollins' knee injury, fans are dubious. WWE SummerSlam Night 2 offers up a strong follow-up to Night 1 after a wild ending where Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract after faking a knee injury at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. CM Punk dethroned Gunther in an instant classic of a war during a 30-minute main event, only to be dethroned himself by Rollins. The WWE World Heavyweight Championship has changed hands three times since June 9, 2025. Last night was not without its flaws, however. Sami Zayn's win over Karrion Kross was forgettable to say the least. Kross has an edgy online gimmick going, but unlike Ricochet it has translated to real-life popularity. If MetLife Stadium is chanting your name, you're doing something right. Unfortunately, Kross' matches have left a lot to be desired. In his biggest WWE match to date, Kross underdelivered amid a promising stipulation. WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 2 Match Card And Odds WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 2 Ticket Sales WWE SummerSlam 2025 Start Time And Where To Stream Stay Tuned For WWE SummerSlam 2025 Live Results And Highlights Beginning At 6:00 pm EST WWE SummerSlam Night 2 is headlined by John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight for the WWE Championship. WWE added a wrinkle to this match after a surprise babyface turn from John Cena, leaving the finish even more in doubt. The odds are very close, and for the second night in a row, the main event is setting up for a wild finish. Potential show-stealing matches include the crowded Tag Team TLC match, which basically features the entire SmackDown tag team roster. Lyra Valkyria will attempt to regain her WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship—possibly with a Heel Bayley waiting in the wings. Jacob Fatu looks to regain his US Title against Solo Sikoa inside of a Steel Cage, and Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky and Naomi will try to top last month's masterpiece between Rhea and Iyo. This was considered by many to be the greatest WWE women's match of all time, and Naomi crashed the ending with a Money in the Bank cash-in.
