MAGA Thoroughly Flips Out Over ‘Satanic' Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Show
Some of President Donald Trump's MAGA acolytes said they couldn't understand what the Grammy Award-winning musician was rapping about during his set. Others suggested he was somehow in league with the devil.
Ben Shapiro referenced Trump's response last week to an Afghan reporter, whose accent the president purportedly didn't understand, when he wrote on social media: 'Actually, it's a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. The only problem is, I can't understand a word you're saying. But I just say this: good luck, live in peace.'
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) asked if she was 'the only one needing subtitles for this!!' Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) called the show 'absolute TRASH.'
Commentators Eric Daugherty and Benny Johnson, meanwhile, called the show 'Black nationalist' and Lamar a 'mumbling pagan Satanic cultist.'
The halftime show you just watched is clearly the regime's response to Trump's historic gains with black men.

My halftime show review: Actually, it's a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. The only problem is, I can't understand a word you're saying. But I just say this: good luck, live in peace.

10 seconds into halftime show….Already horrible and it's falling fast.Yep… crash and burn…Entertainment is at its lowest point of acceptability in history. Put a band like Tool out there. This music is garbage. It's isn't even music. Just noise.

Mike Johnson on the Epstein case: "It's not a hoax"
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday he wants "full transparency" in the Jeffrey Epstein files and the case is "not a hoax." Why it matters: Johnson's comments to CBS News on the late convicted child sex offender's case are in notable contrast to President Trump's position on the matter. The president has repeatedly described the case as a "hoax," as pressure builds on his administration to release more files after it concluded there's no evidence of an Epstein "client list" nor that the disgraced financier's 2019 death in a New York prison cell was anything other than suicide. Driving the news: "It's not a hoax. Of course not," Johnson said after CBS' Major Garrett asked him to clarify the matter. "There are real victims here," said Johnson, noting the issue was a delicate one. "I tried to explain in my press conference this week, man, we want full disclosure. If I had these things in my possession, I would have put them out a long time ago, but I would also have been very careful to protect the innocent," he added. State of play: Johnson last week joined the chorus of Trump-friendly voices urging the administration to release the Epstein files. The speaker has also faced scrutiny after the House left a day early for a five-week summer recess after tensions erupted over efforts to force the release of the files. Just before the recess, a Republican-led House subcommittee on Wednesday passed a Democrat's motion to subpoena the DOJ's documents on Epstein. "We want full transparency," Johnson said on CBS' "The Takeout with Major Garrett." "We want everybody who is involved in any way with the Epstein evils — let's call it what it was — to be brought to justice as quickly as possible. We want the full weight of the law on their heads."

Trump backs Joe Gruters of Florida as next RNC chair
President Trump on Thursday threw his support behind Florida state Sen. Joe Gruters (R) to serve as the next head of the Republican National Committee (RNC) with current chairman Michael Whatley set to announce a Senate bid in the coming days. Trump in a Truth Social post endorsed Whatley to run for Senate in North Carolina to replace Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who will not seek reelection. A source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill earlier Thursday that Whatley was expected to run for the seat, with Trump's blessing. 'Mike would make an unbelievable Senator from North Carolina,' Trump said of Whatley, who previously led the North Carolina GOP. 'He is fantastic at everything he does, and he was certainly great at the RNC where, in the Presidential Election, we won every Swing State, the Popular Vote, and the Electoral College by a landslide!' 2024 Election Coverage 'Fortunately, I have somebody who will do a wonderful job as the Chairman of the RNC,' Trump added. 'His name is, Joe Gruters, and he will have my Complete and Total Endorsement. So, should Michael Whatley run for the Senate, please let this notification represent my Complete and Total Endorsement.' Gruters is a Trump ally who has served in the Florida Senate since 2018 and as RNC treasurer since earlier this year. Gruters has clashed with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who was a bitter rival of Trump during the 2024 presidential primary. Gruters would need to be elected by RNC members to lead the organization, but would likely face no competition with Trump's backing.

‘South Park' co-creator jokes he's ‘terribly sorry' over premiere that drew White House anger
Earlier in the day, the White House issued a statement on the 27th season premiere, which aired Wednesday night. 'This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in the statement. 'President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak.' Later in the panel, Parker said they did get a note from their producers on Tuesday night's episode. Advertisement 'They said, 'OK, but we're gonna blur the penis,' and I said, 'No you're not gonna blur the penis,'' Parker said. The premiere also took aim at Paramount and its $16 million recent settlement with Trump just hours after Parker and Stone signed a five-year deal with the company for 50 new episodes and streaming rights to previous seasons. The Los Angeles Times and other outlets report the deal was worth $1.5 billion. Advertisement In the episode, Trump sues the town of South Park when its residents challenge the presence of Jesus Christ – the actual person – in its elementary school. Jesus tells them they ought to settle. 'You guys saw what happened to CBS? Yeah, well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount,' Jesus says. 'Do you really want to end up like Colbert?' CBS and parent Paramount Global canceled Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' last week, days after Colbert sharply criticized Paramount's settlement of Trump's lawsuit over a '60 Minutes' interview. CBS and Paramount executives said it was a financial decision to axe 'The Late Show.' The efficiency of 'South Park' production, and the brinksmanship of its creators, allow it to stay incredibly current for an animated series. 'I don't know what next week's episode is going to be,' Parker said at Comic-Con. 'Even just three days ago, we were like, 'I don't know if people are going to like this.''
