President Joe Biden has used videos and photos of his visits to military cemeteries in campaign ads against former President Donald Trump, something that Democrats and the mainstream media have criticized Trump for doing when he visited Arlington National Cemetery.Trump was at the military cemetery on Monday to partake in a ceremony to honor the lives of the 13 fallen U.S. service members who were killed during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Trump was invited to Arlington by some of the family members.Since the visit, the media has worked overtime to make a scandal out of the visit by saying Trump used the videos and photos taken during the ceremony and a visit to Section 60 to make campaign ads. Arlington National Cemetery has rules that prohibit use of media from the location to be used for political purposes.'We had given our approval for President Trump's official videographer and photographer to attend the event.'In 2020 and 2024, Biden used media of him at military cemeteries for campaign ads against Trump, including a visit to Arlington. In 2020, Biden used a photo of when he visited Arlington in 2010 for a Memorial Day campaign video. The video ends with Biden's campaign logo and a call to action for people to text his campaign. — (@) When Biden was still the Democrats' nominee for president for this year's election, Biden used videos of his visits to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France to attack Trump on the debunked "suckers and losers" comments. — (@) The Gold Star families who invited Trump to Arlington this week released a statement explaining they were honored to have the former commander in chief spend the third anniversary of the horrific attack with them.“We would like to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to President Donald J. Trump for his presence at the recent section 60 gathering, honoring our children and their fallen brothers and sisters,” the statement said. “On the three-year anniversary of the Abbey Gate Bombing, the president and his team conducted themselves with nothing but the utmost respect and dignity for all of our service members, especially our beloved children."We had given our approval for President Trump's official videographer and photographer to attend the event, ensuring these sacred moments of remembrance were respectfully captured and so we can cherish these memories forever," the statement continued.

Jason Whitlock is an undeniable heavy hitter on all things sports and politics — but the witty host of “Fearless” has never voted in an election. That is, until now. “I’ve never voted,” Whitlock tells Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show.” “I’ve never really believed in politics. Spiritual solutions.” “But I registered to vote this weekend. I’m definitely going to vote, and it just comes down to for me, the only way the January 6 people get out of prison is if Trump is elected. And then the only way we potentially avoid World War III is if Trump is elected,” Whitlock explains. “These are serious, serious consequences, and I can’t sit on the sidelines,” he adds. Wheeler is shocked but happy to have Whitlock on her side. “It shocks me out of my mind that people wouldn’t want to do that. I’m so glad that you’re voting, welcome. It’s an incredibly powerful thing to be a part of self-governance. That’s what your vote counts for, even as the left tries to dilute our votes and steal our votes. It’s still, we don’t want to give that up,” she tells Whitlock. And Wheeler doubts that Whitlock will be the only one registering to vote for the first time. “I am excited to see actually, all the new voters that I think are going to be registering. Probably today, probably tomorrow, based on RFK [Jr.] and Trump’s new alliance,” Wheeler says.

Sometime next year, Verizon says customers will also be able to send text messages via satellite. Verizon says the service, which it is launching in partnership with Skylo, won’t cost extra. “There are no additional costs planned for this service,” according to Verizon spokesperson Karen Schulz. “Capable devices can take advantage of this irrespective of price plan.” Schulz confirmed support for the Pixel 9 Pro,...

If a post is being shared as part of a dogpiling effort, Bluesky users can now limit people from linking to them directly. | Image: Bluesky Bluesky has introduced a bunch of new “anti-toxicity” features that aim to help users protect themselves against harassment and dogpiling. Announced via a recent blog post, version 1.90 of the decentralized social media platform adds tools that can limit exposure to unwelcome interactions with other users, such as an option to detach your post from somebody else’s quote of it. The update allows users to view all the posts that quote a post they’ve made, then detach their original post so it can no longer be seen beneath the other user’s commentary — preventing readers from seeing it and clicking through to engage. You can already cut off engagement by blocking a quote poster, but detachment offers a less drastic option. The downside, as... Continue reading…
