‘Fox & Friends’ Hosts Furious With Kamala Harris For Visiting The ‘Meanest Spice Shop In The World’

It seems that to the whiny right-wingers at Fox News, Vice President Kamala Harris could cure cancer, end across the globe, and oversee the strongest economic growth in world history, but it would still not be enough to please the dung spewers who want voters to believe that Harris is a bigger threat than to the United States than Russia and China combined.

The latest fake outrage being manufactured at Fox was on full display Sunday during the weekend edition of “Fox & Friends,” a show that routinely traffics in conspiracy theories, manufactured terror, and lies.

During a segment on the show, co-host Will Cain declared, “Vice President Harris is hunkering down in Pittsburgh as she pushes for unity while visiting a spice shop known for mocking Republicans.”

Cain was referring to a Saturday visit by Harris to Penzeys Spices in Pittsburgh, which co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy dubbed “the meanest spice shop in America.”

“They chose the comfiest, coziest place she could conceivably go, where all of the—the owners and the staff are 100 percent libs who hate Trump,” co-host Pete Hegseth chimed in. “And they not only believe that privately, to your point, Will, they say it publicly.”

The Fox News hosts then quoted a statement found on the website for Penzeys.

“Going forward, we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we’re done pretending the Republican Party’s embrace of cruelty, racism, COVID lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are.”

According to Campos-Duffy, Harris should rename herself “Mean Spice” because “Scary Spice is already taken.”

“This is the strangest event,” she added. “I get it if she goes there, but then to talk about unity while she’s at the meanest spice shop in America, Penzeys Spice.”

Not wanting to be outdone, Hegseth declared, “By the way, this is how the left thinks, by the way. Yes, we need to end divisiveness. And you know how we do that? Everyone needs to think like us.”

“There is no tolerance unless you agree with them,” Campos-Duffy insisted, though she offered zero proof of her thesis.

Fox and other conservative “news” outlets are worried. They know Kamala Harris is ahead in the polls and likely to destroy failed former president Donald Trump in next week’s debate. They can feel it all slipping away from them and they’re terrified the MAGA movement is dying.

MAGA is indeed on life support. And hopefully a decade or two from now it’ll be nothing but a bad memory.

Stephen King Responds After Florida Bans 23 Of His Books

It’s safe to say that Stephen King is one of the most well-known and widely read novelists in the world. Many of his books have been made into blockbuster movies, and he has sold more than 400 million copies of his work across the globe.

But if you happen to be a student in Florida, you may never get to read one of King’s books, because the state has just banned 23 of his most famous tomes from schools in the Sunshine State.

King’s books have been pulled from library shelves as the result of a 2022 law passed by the GOP-controlled state legislature and signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), according to Newsweek.

“The decision was driven by complaints from groups like Moms for Liberty. Republicans, including DeSantis, have said the legislation prevents students from obtaining books that are not age-appropriate, but critics view the law as an attempt to stifle discussion about issues including race and the LGBTQ+ community in public schools, raising concerns that this law may censor many topics.”

King is getting support to overturn the 2022 book-banning law from six book publishers, but he also decided to express his own disdain for what’s taking place in Florida in a post on Twitter/X that has been viewed several million times.

Others also joined the online debate and expressed their outrage over the blatant censorship being imposed by Florida.

Trump Urges GOP To Shut Down The Federal Government Just Weeks Before 2024 Election

Perhaps sensing that he’s on the verge of losing the 2024 presidential election in humiliating fashion to Vice President Kamala Harris, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump is now urging his Republican allies to shut down the federal government shortly before voters go to the polls in November.

Speaking with Monica Crowley on her podcast, HuffPost reports, Trump insisted that the GOP needs to either force Democrats to support legislation barring non-US citizens from voting or refuse to pass funding that would keep the government open.

“I would shut down the government in a heartbeat if they don’t get it and if they don’t get it in the bill,” Trump declared.

Since it’s already a federal crime for noncitizens to vote, it’s unclear why another law is needed.

Trump added that Republicans should also add language to the spending bill that would severely restrict legal immigration to the United States.

“If they don’t get these bills, they should close it down, and Republicans should not approve it.”

Despite the disgraced ex-president’s call for a government shutdown, it doesn’t appear there’s a lot of GOP support for such a move, which could backfire and cause voters to cast their ballots for Democrats in response to government gridlock, the report adds.

“The Freedom Caucus doesn’t have enough members to actually block a clean government funding bill, which would likely pass the House with lots of support from Democrats and Republicans alike. Trump’s support for the SAVE Act could sway some Republicans, but House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who also supports the measure, hasn’t said he would insist on it in a funding bill.”

Additonally, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is also said to be working behind the scenes to get his House GOP colleagues to avoid any sort of government shutdown.

Sounds like Donald Trump is going to lose twice in the coming months. But he should be used to that by now. After all, he’s been a loser his entire life.

Hulk Hogan Flashes Racist Gesture And Threatens To ‘Body-Slam’ Kamala Harris

Washed-up professional wrestler Hulk Hogan made a complete horse’s ass out of himself at last month’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, ripping off his shirt and declaring it was time to “let Trumpmania run wild,” leaving some in the audience to suggest that it was inappropriate to have such a spectacle at a political convention.

And now Hogan could be in serious trouble with the U.S. Secret Service for remarks he made in Ohio on Monday evening, Mediaite reports.

During an event in Medina, Ohio to promote his new Real American Beer, Hogan called out to the crowd, “You want me to body slam somebody? You want me to body-slam Kamala Harris? I said, do you want me to body slam Kamala Harris?! You want me to drop the leg on Kamala?”

He continued, “Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?” before raising his left hand and saying, “How,” in imitation of a stereotypical native American, or “American Indian.”

Seconds later, Hogan admitted his comments might not have been such a good idea.

“I’m gonna get heat for that one, brother. That was not me, that was the beers talking.”

Hogan might want to go ahead and clear some space on his schedule for the next few days because he could be getting a visit from federal authorities, who are already on alert after a man took shots at failed former president Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.

This isn’t the first time Hogan has proven his bigot bonafides.

In 2020, he was banned from All-Elite Wrestling (AEW), according to Forbes.

“Though it wasn’t explicitly expressed in the tweet, Hogan’s banishment from AEW likely stems from a series of racist comments he made on tape in 2015. Hogan was fired from WWE and wiped from its Hall of Fame before awkwardly rejoining the company in 2018. Hogan’s return to WWE was accompanied by an ill-fated plea for forgiveness from the WWE locker room. The stunt did not go well, resulting in public criticism from too-good-for-WWE Superstar and philanthropist Titus O’Neil.”

Twitter users also had some thoughts on Hogan’s latest comments.

Megyn Kelly Gets Dragged Online For Her ‘Racist’ Reaction To DNC Speech

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly found out the hard way Monday evening that sometimes it’s better to remain silent than speak and let the internet know what a racist sack of human dung you are.

Reacting to a speech from Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA) at the opening night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in which Butler noted that both she and Vice President Kamala Harris had graduated from historically black colleges, Kelly posted this on Twitter:

“Laphonza Butler spkg – (she filled Feinstein’s seat) – celebrating that she and Harris both graduated from historically black colleges. Imagine the white person up there: I’m proud to tell you I went to a mostly white university!”

Of course, if Kelly knew a damn thing about American history, she’d know why black colleges and universities were created in the first place, as the Thurgood Marshall College Fund notes on their website:

“Black students were unwelcome at existing public and private institutions of higher education (IHEs), even after the passing of specific legislation, resulting in a lack of higher education opportunities.”

Kelly was then dragged on social media.
