Jay Leno said he’s been very lucky and has only good thoughts about his life amid his wife Mavis’ dementia battle. Speaking to Fox News, the 74-year-old former late-night talk show host and comedian said he didn’t focus on the struggles he’s faced over the last few years, after having to be hospitalized with third-degree burns to his hands and face from a car fire and breaking multiple bones in a motorcycle accident, after his wife’s diagnosis was revealed earlier this year. “I got burned in a fire. I got a face full of gas,” Leno said. “A spark jumped. [It’s] not like, ‘How did this happen?’ I mean, people get burned every day.” Leno — who was in the hospital for eight and a half days — said he “missed two days’ work. So it wasn’t bad. It was — that is better than the broken leg, believe me.” “I was on my motorcycle, and the guy had to wire across a driveway, but with no flag on it,” the comedian said. “And I turned, and the sun was in my eyes. And so it tore my face across.” Jay Leno feels ‘very lucky’ despite burn accident, challenges with wife’s dementia battle https://t.co/nNuTN0M93x — Fox News (@FoxNews) October 16, 2024 “I used to look like Abe Lincoln” he jokingly added. “No, I look exactly the same, just a better version … I’m saving face, put it that way. Or I’m a two-faced guy, any way you want to take it.” Later, he opened up about his wife of 44 years and said she was doing good. “It’s OK. You know, it’s life,” Leno said. “Everybody goes through it.” “I’ve been very lucky in my life. I don’t complain about everything,” he added. “We have a lot of fun, and I cook dinner for her every night.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “She’s good. She’s good, you know?” Leno continued. “It’s changes you have to make, but that’s OK. That’s OK.”  In January, the former “The Tonight Show” host filed the paperwork in a Los Angeles courtroom to become the conservator of his wife’s estate following her dementia diagnosis, as previously reported. The documents said that Leno’s wife “presently lacks the necessary capacity” to make her own decisions. “Unfortunately, Mavis has been progressively losing capacity and orientation to space and time for several years,” the filing said. Mavis’ doctor added a capacity declaration confirming that Leno’s spouse “suffers from dementia, major neurocognitive disorder.” Amanda Harding contributed to this piece.

Vice President Kamala Harris exploded during an interview Wednesday night when confronted with her cover-up of President Joe Biden’s serious cognitive decline. Harris made the remarks to Bret Baier during her first real interview of the election cycle in which she was asked difficult questions and repeated follow-ups. “You told many interviewers that Joe Biden was on his game, that [he] ran around circles on his staff,” Baier noted. “When did you first notice that President Biden’s mental faculties appeared diminished?” Baier’s question came after Biden was forced out of the presidential race by the Democrat Party following his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump. Harris flashed a deer-in-the-headlights look when asked the question, and paused for a moment before answering. “Joe Biden, I have watched in — from the Oval Office to the Situation Room, and he has the judgment and the experiment — and experience to do exactly what he has done in making very important decisions on behalf of the American people,” Harris claimed. Baier pushed back: “There were no concerns raised?” Harris snapped back: “Bret, Joe Biden is not on the ballot.” As Baier tried to talk, Harris repeatedly talked over him, saying: “And Donald Trump is.” Baier mentioned that notable figures said that Biden’s decline was blatantly obvious to everyone around him. “Actor George Clooney said within a few minutes of talking to President Biden at a fundraiser that he thought this was not the same Joe Biden,” Baier said. Harris responded: “Donald Trump is on the ballot.” WATCH: BRETT BAIER: “When did you first notice that Joe Biden’s mental faculties appeared diminished?” KAMALA: “Joe Biden is not on the ballot.” pic.twitter.com/rKK7dfgwBz — Conservative War Machine (@WarMachineRR) October 16, 2024

'No, we’re going to prosecute these as felonies'

'I actually don't'

Definitely wasn't expecting to blog about this today

A family thought they would adopt a cat and one of her kittens but walked out with the sweetest outcome possible. ExploitsValleySPCAWhen a striped feline crew arrived at Exploits Valley SPCA, they were full of love and hope, ready to wriggle their way into someone's heart."A beautiful tabby mom came to our shelter with four tabby babies - one boy and three girls," the SPCA shared. "Mama Squirt is the most docile, friendly, easygoing kitty, and she's done the best job raising her kittens to be just like her. They all love attention, people, and playing."The kittens never lacked an ounce of love and quickly outgrew their nursery kennel, ready to explore the world beyond. ExploitsValleySPCAThe moment they moved into their new room at the shelter, they took off, bouncing off the walls and chasing each other with unbridled energy. They zipped around their mom in a flurry of tiny paws and playful chaos, occasionally pouncing on her for added fun.The kittens surrounded their tower of tracks toy, batting at the balls simultaneously while one of them hopped atop the tower for good measure. ExploitsValleySPCAMama Squirt was delighted to have more room to stretch and relax after spending so much time in the kennel. She watched the kittens tear through the place while waiting for the right family to come find them.With a heart of gold, she showered the staff and volunteers with purrs and gentle snuggles. ExploitsValleySPCAAfter raising her last litter, she would never have to worry about food and shelter or go through another pregnancy.When they were ready to find their forever homes, Pikachu, the only boy from the litter, quickly secured a loving family. Meanwhile, his mom and sisters, Mew, Meowth, and Eevee, patiently awaited their turn. ExploitsValleySPCACrystal opened her home and her heart to Pikachu but never stopped thinking about the rest of the tabby crew. She introduced her newly adopted kitten to her dear friends, Harry and Denise Hutchings, and their hearts flipped."Crystal thought they would be the perfect home for the mom and a sibling and convinced them to at least come have a look." ExploitsValleySPCAThey agreed, and Harry visited the shelter shortly after. He didn't intend to adopt that day, but the gazing eyes from the mom and the kittens instantly tugged at his heartstrings, and he wanted to help."He decided to foster the tabby family to give our crowded shelter a break. He took home mom and her remaining three babies." ExploitsValleySPCASquirt and her kittens quickly settled into their foster home, running around as if they had always lived there. From that day on, the house was constantly filled with joy and laughter.The family's hearts swelled as they witnessed the mama's unconditional love and the kittens' endless mischievous antics. Harry and DeniseA few weeks after Harry brought them home, he and his family decided to keep the mom and one of her kittens and "return the others to the shelter to find homes," or so they thought.As the day to return the kittens drew near, they found themselves falling more in love with all of them. "When the fateful day arrived, Harry brought the kittens in, but they never left the carrier." Harry and his family decided to adopt the mom and her three kittensHarry and Denise"Instead of bringing two kittens back for adoption, he left the shelter with four adoption papers.

Kamala Pitches Plan to Buy More Young Black Male Votes

The online headline captured the tone of Monday’s PBS News Hour segment from the dueling Trump and Harris presidential campaigns: “Trump ramps up his dangerous political rhetoric in final weeks of campaign.” Taxpayer-supported PBS even let its gross partisanship show while showcasing the segment on X: "On the campaign trail, Vice President Kamala Harris is working to shore up support from Black voters while former President Donald Trump is increasing his extreme political rhetoric. @lbarronlopez reports." That would be Laura Barron-Lopez, the News Hour’s most partisan reporter. Anchor Amna Nawaz introduced Barron-Lopez’s report from the campaign trail, with Donald Trump stumping in Pennsylvania and Kamala Harris in North Carolina. Laura Barron-Lopez: This afternoon, Kamala Harris jetted off to the country's largest battleground state. The vice president is doing in Pennsylvania as she did in North Carolina over the weekend, energizing black voters. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump increased his extreme rhetoric, describing some American citizens as enemies. Donald Trump: I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Barron-Lopez: In a FOX News interview yesterday, Maria Bartiromo asked Trump whether or not Election Day would be peaceful. Trump: We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they're the -- and it should be very easily handled by -- if necessary, by National Guard or, if really necessary, by the military. New York University professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a recurring PBS favorite, did what she does best: Wax hysterical on anything a Republican says, no matter how unhinged it makes her look. (Remember her 2023 attack on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for sensibly suggesting cellphones be banned from classrooms? She tweeted, then deleted: "He is so dangerous in every way. Truly an authoritarian personality.”) Ruth Ben-Ghiat, NYU History Professor: This kind of terminology is the terminology of dictators. Barron-Lopez: Ruth Ben-Ghiat is an American historian and scholar. Ben-Ghiat: Initially -- and he's been doing anti-immigrant rhetoric since 2015 -- it was keeping people out so that you should militarize the border. But now it's the enemy within. And that enemy can be anywhere, even in the Heartland, such as Aurora or Springfield. And, thus, he's talking about using various types of armed forces, National Guard and, he says, even the military, to go and liberate these territories. And this is very dangerous rhetoric. It's turning armed force against a domestic population, and that's what dictators have done in the past. There was a distinct vibe shift when Barron-Lopez checked in from the Harris campaign. Laura Barron-Lopez: Across the country, at her own rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Harris, who released her own medical records on Saturday, took a swing at the former president's lack of transparency. Note that this comes after the media spent at least four years hiding Joe Biden's clear mental decline. Kamala Harris: He refuses to release his medical records. I have done it. Every other presidential -- every other presidential candidate in the modern era has done it. He is unwilling to do a 60 Minutes interview, like every other major party candidate has done for more than half-a-century. He is unwilling to meet for a second debate. There was no mention of Harris’s notorious reluctance to do interviews before her recent media blitz. This segment was brought to you in part by Raymond James financial advisers. A transcript is available, click “Expand.” PBS News Hour 10/14/24 7:13:39 p.m. (ET) Host Geoff Bennett: Turning our focus now to the 2024 presidential race, over the weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris made stops in North Carolina while out West, former President Donald Trump ratcheted up his political rhetoric. But, tonight, both candidates are in opposite corners of one of the most important states in this election. That's Pennsylvania. Laura Barron-Lopez has our report. Laura Barron-Lopez: This afternoon, Kamala Harris jetted off to the country's largest battleground state. The vice president is doing in Pennsylvania as she did in North Carolina over the weekend, energizing black voters. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump increased his extreme rhetoric, describing some American citizens as enemies. Donald Trump, Former President of the United States (R) and Current U.S. Presidential Candidate: I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Laura Barron-Lopez: In a FOX News interview yesterday, Maria Bartiromo asked Trump whether or not Election Day would be peaceful. Donald Trump: We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they're the — and it should be very easily handled by — if necessary, by National Guard or, if really necessary, by the military. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, NYU History Professional: This kind of terminology is the terminology of dictators. Laura Barron-Lopez: Ruth Ben-Ghiat an American historian and scholar. Ruth Ben-Ghiat: Initially — and he's been doing anti-immigrant rhetoric since 2015 — it was keeping people out so that you should militarize the border. But now it's the enemy within. And that enemy can be anywhere, even in the heartland, such as Aurora or Springfield. And, thus, he's talking about using various types of armed forces, National Guard and, he says, even the military, to go and liberate these territories. And this is very dangerous rhetoric. It's turning armed force against a domestic population, and that's what dictators have done in the past. Laura Barron-Lopez: Trump's choice language didn't stop at FOX News. On Saturday, he described American towns as being invaded at a rally in Coachella, California. Donald Trump: We're like an occupied country. We got people taking over parts of Colorado. We have people taking over other states. November 5, 2024, will be liberation day in America, liberation day. Ruth Ben-Ghiat: This is a strategy. The ultimate goal is to convince Americans that democracy is failing and that strongman leadership to fix everything, and Donald Trump will say, I alone can fix it, is supposed to be the answer. And so as soon as he would take over and go back to the White House, all of our problems would be solved. But this is based on a fictional reality that's been created by disinformation. Laura Barron-Lopez: In Prescott Valley, Arizona, this weekend, Trump made a new immigration pledge, to add 10,000 agents to Border Patrol ranks and bump up their salaries. Donald Trump: After I win, I will be asking Congress immediately to approve a 10 percent raise, haven't had one in a long time, for all agents, at a $10,000 each retention and signing bonus. So we're going to retain them. We're going to retain them. Laura Barron-Lopez: Across the country, at her own rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Harris, who released her own medical records on Saturday, took a swing at the former president's lack of transparency. Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States (D) and U.S. Presidential Candidate: He refuses to release his medical records. I have done it. Every other presidential — every other presidential candidate in the modern era has done it. He is unwilling to do a "60 Minutes" interview, like every other major party candidate has done for more than half-a-century. He is unwilling to meet for a second debate. Laura Barron-Lopez: Back in Pennsylvania where the stakes couldn't be higher, this festival in Greeley described by vendors as three days of God, guns and motorcycles, drew huge crowds of Trump voters. With November 5 just three weeks away, die-hard Trump supporters are counting down the days. Todd Herhart, Voter: We're 23 days away from the election. And the days drag. It's like a 10-year-old waiting for Santa Claus to come. The days just can't get here fast enough. Laura Barron-Lopez: For the "PBS News Hour," I'm Laura Barron-Lopez.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas may already have been impeached, but he’s still dodging critical questions. Namely, questions about the Afghan national recently arrested for planning an Election Day terrorist attack on Americans. In an interview with CBS’ Margaret Brennan, Mayorkas was asked what the status is with the would-be ISIS terrorist’s arrest. “He was in this country; he had immigration status; was he radicalized before he came to the United States?” Brennan asked. “It is an ongoing prosecution, so I won’t speak of the facts, but the viewing public is getting an idea of the breadth and diversity of the missions that we in the Department of Homeland Security tackle,” Mayorkas said in the common avoidance fashion Americans have gotten too used to. “But it gets to the issue of vetting versus whether he was radicalized here,” Brennan interjected. “Remember, the individual came in through parole, an Afghan national, and when we vet, and we do so intensively,” Mayorkas responded. Pat Gray and Keith Malinak of “Pat Gray Unleashed” are horrified by his lack of answer and what this means for American national security. “If it’s such a great screening and vetting process,” Malinak begins, before Gray finishes, “How’d he get in?!” Want more from Pat Gray?To enjoy more of Pat's biting analysis and signature wit as he restores common sense to a senseless world, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

I'm a man, man! That was the bombshell trans "Bachelorette" star Josh Seiter dropped on BlazeTV's "Prime Time with Alex Stein" yesterday.'Any biological man putting on womanface and putting on makeup is pulling a stunt. They are faking being a woman. So what I did was I faked being a faker.' The revelation came mere months after the comely contestant announced he was transitioning from male to female.Lipstick on a fib The sit-down with Stein began as just another act of representation, business as usual for a hirsute and jacked woman determined to live her truth. But the mood quickly shifted from trans joy to "trans? Oy!" as Seiter removed his makeup and addressed Stein transwoman-to-man one last time. "For the last five months I've been conducting a social experiment online to expose how gullible and how delusional the left is," said Seiter as he settled back into the gender he was assigned at birth. Seiter's harsh characterization of the many displays of allyship that greeted his transition struck some as ungrateful. Pink punk'd While acknowledging the impressive effort Seiter put into his ruse, Pink News writer Amelia Hansford asserted that the LGBTQ+ community wasn't even mad. "Seiter spent months posting a total of 131 Instagram posts and 108 reels to convince people he was trans, and for what? To convince people that queer folk accept anyone?" "What he’s missing in all of this is that trans people owe him nothing," continued Hansford indifferently. "Neither do their friends, allies or family who choose to stay in their lives and support them. Seiter’s warped standards for what it means to be a woman, cis or trans, mean nothing. They’re worse than nothing." Meanwhile, Seiter suggested it is the trans ideologues who push "warped standards." Mad about Mulvaney "Any biological man putting on womanface and putting on makeup is pulling a stunt. They are faking being a woman. So what I did was I faked being a faker," said Seiter. It was a performance as stunning in its way as former Bud Light spokesperson Dylan Mulvaney's viral documentation of his "girlhood." In fact, Seiter is the first to admit that Mulvaney was a huge inspiration in conveying his message. "It's very insulting to women to say we have shared experiences," said Seiter — something he found perfectly expressed by Mulvaney's "over-the-top," minstrel-like depiction of femininity. "Autogynephelia is when men are turned on by seeing themselves as women," Seiter added.
