Donald Trump Drops Crude Line At Kennedy Center Dinner In Bizarre Rant About 2020 Election
President Donald Trump on Monday dropped a vulgar turn of phrase as he talked about how he'd vowed to avenge his 2020 election defeat, which he once again falsely claimed had been rigged against him,
Trump, during a speech at a Kennedy Center board dinner, congratulated himself over the securing during his first term of the 2028 Olympics for Los Angeles and the 2026 FIFA soccer World Cup for North America.
Had the election not been stolen from him by now-former President Joe Biden, Trump lied, he said he'd now be out of office and his role in securing the two major sporting events would be forgotten.
'And then they rigged the election, and then I said, 'You know what I'll do? I'll run again and I'll shove it up their ass,'' he said.
The audience lapped up the line.
Trump, who appointed himself chair of the Kennedy Center earlier this year amid a pro-MAGA purge of the historically bipartisan organization, continued:
'So if they would've left us alone, and wouldn't have cheated on the election, and wouldn't have rigged it, I would've been retired right now. I would've been happily doing something else, and instead they have me for four more years, can you believe that?'
Watch here:
"And then they rigged the election. And then I said, you know what I'll do? I'll run again, and I'll shove it up their ass. And that's what I did.'pic.twitter.com/e6ta0tcFaC

How Sacramento's American River Parkway could be impacted by budget cuts
SACRAMENTO — There are concerns about trash troubles growing in Sacramento County parks. This week, the board of supervisors is trying to balance its $8.9 billion budget, and more than a million dollars could be cut from regional park funding. Sacramento County is facing an $18 million general fund deficit, and the parks department is bracing for more than a million and a half dollars in cuts. Many are concerned that these potential cuts could put the American River Parkway in peril. "We're going to see an increase in pollution in the parkway. We're going to see an increase in transient-type behavior, illegal activity," said David Ingram, co-founder of the River City Waterway Alliance. The proposed reductions include eliminating one park maintenance worker, 14 staff who help with park operations and $500,000 for waterway cleanup. "We're hoping with the staff that we have remaining, will be able to mitigate some of that so that our residents don't feel much of the impact of these potential reductions," said county spokesperson Ken Casparis. Ingram said the funding being cut pays for crews to clear debris from Steelhead Creek, which flows through Discovery Park. "Shopping carts and mattresses and tires, really horrible things that are clogging the channel," Ingram said. Much of that debris comes from homeless encampments. "We're definitely going to see an increase in encampments moving back into the parkway with less personnel," Ingram said. "We're making such great progress right now, to try and curb that and curtail that, we just don't think it's the right time," said Lisa Sanchez, co-founder of the River City Waterway Alliance. Sacramento County says there will be no cuts to park rangers and no planned park closures or reduced hours. But parkway supporters say full funding needs to continue to help protect and maintain the scenic stretch of nature. "The American River Parkway is the crown jewel of the Sacramento region," Ingram said. The board of supervisors will begin budget talks on Wednesday and must approve a recommended budget by June 30.

Trump Says US Won't Agree to Any Uranium Enrichment by Iran
(Bloomberg) -- The US won't allow any uranium enrichment as part of a potential nuclear deal with Iran, President Donald Trump said. Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania At London's New Design Museum, Visitors Get Hands-On Access Trump made the comment in a social media post Monday evening, without elaborating. The US president has regularly signaled that he thinks a deal may be near, and that Iran could face military action if the talks collapse. His post came after an Axios report said US negotiators gave Iran a proposal that would allow limited, low-level enrichment. Iran hasn't commented on the report. Trump has long pledged that Iran won't be allowed a nuclear weapon. He also said last week he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a military strike on Iran — which could lead to the wider war in the Middle East and push up oil prices — would be 'inappropriate' right now because 'we're very close to a solution.' Netanyahu has said Iran — Israel's arch-enemy — shouldn't be allowed to enrich uranium at all, even to the low levels Tehran says its needs for nuclear power plants and other non-military uses. The Islamic Republic has consistently said it won't accept an agreement with the US that doesn't allow it to enrich uranium to a low level. At the moment, it's processing uranium to a much higher point, almost to the level required for atomic weapons. In addition to the issue of enrichment, Iran says it wants clear assurances of how sanctions would be eased as part of any deal with the US. Washington has not yet been willing to specify how sanctions would be lifted, Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, said on Monday. --With assistance from Arsalan Shahla.

Blake Lively pulling 'emotional distress' claims from Justin Baldoni lawsuit
Blake Lively is set to drop claims of emotional distress from her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. In December, the actress sued co-star Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment on the set of the drama It Ends with Us, which he also directed. Lively also claimed the 41-year-old orchestrated a smear campaign against her around the film's release in August 2024. Baldoni, who has denied the allegations, filed a countersuit for alleged defamation and civil extortion against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others. On Monday, editors at Variety reported Lively, 37, is seeking to withdraw her claims of "intentional infliction of emotional distress" and "negligent infliction of emotional distress" from her lawsuit. The update comes after Baldoni's lawyers noted in a filing that they had asked the former Gossip Girl star to sign a form giving them access to her therapy notes and medical records as part of discovery. "In other words, Ms. Lively wants to simultaneously: (a) refuse to disclose the information and documents needed to disprove that she suffered any emotional distress and/or that the Wayfarer Parties were the cause; and (b) maintain the right to re-file her IED Claims at an unknown time in this or some other court after the discovery window has closed," his lawyers wrote in court documents, according to the outlet. "By alleging that she suffered physical and emotional injuries, Ms. Lively has placed her physical and mental condition at issue and, in turn, must produce relevant information and documents (including) psychiatric records. In other words, Ms. Lively has waived any doctor-patient privilege." Representatives for Baldoni have not yet commented further. But responding to the news, Lively's lawyers insisted they were simply "streamlining and focusing" her case. "The Baldoni-Wayfarer strategy of filing retaliatory claims has exposed them to expansive new damages claims under California law, rendering certain of Ms. Lively's original claims no longer necessary," they said in a statement to Us Weekly, referring to Baldoni's Wayfarer Studios production company. "Ms. Lively continues to allege emotional distress, as part of numerous other claims in her lawsuit, such as sexual harassment and retaliation, and massive additional compensatory damages on all of her claims." The trial is slated to begin in March 2026.
