Gov. Kristi Noem Blasted On Social Media Folks Pissed She Shot & Killed Dog

Governor Kristi Noem's got social media users howling with rage -- 'cause she admitted to shooting and killing her own dog ... something she says had to be done.

South Dakota's political leader tells the harrowing story in her upcoming memoir, "No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward" ... discussing farm life and detailing exactly why she says her young wirehaired pointer had to die.

The Guardian reviewed the book and rehashed this sad chapter. KN owned a 14-month-old pup named Cricket with an untrainable and aggressive personality, and didn't turn out to be the best hunter either. After an attempted hunt, she says she started driving back with Cricket ... only to make a stop at a local family's home, with the dog attacking their chickens.

DR. PHIL TRUMP'S JURY TROUBLING ... For Prosecution, Defense

BEWARE THE WEAPONIZED JUROR
TMZ.com

Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial in NYC could face an unfair playing field based on the jury -- but in terms of who it benefits, it's a crapshoot ... so says Dr. Phil.

The TV personality spoke to "TMZ Live" Friday about the 12 jurors who'll decide DT's fate -- the bios for whom have been released ... including their work backgrounds and their education. As it turns out ... this jury is full of a bunch of smart cookies.

There are two lawyers on the jury ... and Phil says that could both hurt and help Trump and co., depending on how they feel politically. Take a listen ... his analysis is kinda spot-on.

Donald Trump Trial Political Manifesto Surfaces For Man Who Set Himself on Fire

A manifesto has surfaced that's being attributed to the man who set himself on fire -- and if it's legit, which it certainly seems to be, then the guy's motivation was purely political.

The man in question has been ID'd as Max Azzarello -- and he appears to have his own Substack page called The Ponzi Papers ... with his latest post titled "I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial."

The first lines are telling, and you can clearly make out that this man is very anti-governmental. He writes, "My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan. This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery."

The ex-Prez went to a Chick-fil-A in the ATL Wednesday, where his campaign rages on ... and where he popped into the restaurant to chop it up with some of the workers behind the counter ... cracking jokes with them and schmoozing as photogs and press stood around.

Lauren Boebert Drunken Selfies With Trump ... Bartender Cuts Her off

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert reportedly got herself into hot water at a pre-Christmas Republican event in NYC, getting so drunk that she became unruly to the point where she was ordered to stop taking selfies with former President Donald Trump.

Boebert's embarrassing episode took place at the New York Young Republican Club's annual gala on December 9, 2023, according to CNN, citing attendees who witnessed the incident.

Waitstaff first told Boebert they wouldn't serve her any more alcohol after they noticed she was intoxicated inside Cipriani Wall Street, CNN said. A source told the network one waiter was spotted walking up to Boebert and informing her she had been "overserved."

The Rock Will Not Endorse Joe Biden Again ... Unhappy W/ State Of America

WE CAN GET BETTER
Fox News

The Rock isn't pleased with current-day America, and will NOT be endorsing Joe Biden ... as the President vies for a second term in The White House.

Remember, Johnson, with influence over hundreds of millions of fans, threw his support behind Biden ahead of the 2020 election ... a big get at the time for the presidential hopeful.

Biden, who is struggling with approval ratings in the gutter (56% of Americans disapprove of POTUS' job performance) and poor polling numbers, could certainly use the help ... but it ain't coming. At least, not from the WWE legend.

Donald Trump Shows Biden Kidnapped, Hogtied

The 2024 Presidential Election is getting really ugly and nowhere is that more evident than in Donald Trump's new Truth Social post, showing Joe Biden hogtied and restrained in the back of a pickup truck.

TIED UP

The horrific, albeit fake image of the current prez and Democratic presidential nominee was part of a 20-second clip posted Friday to Trump's account on Truth Social -- the platform founded by Trump himself.

The truck labeled "Trump 2024" was rolling down a highway with American flags attached to it and a license plate that read, "Trump4US." Pictured on the back is a photoshopped image of Biden hogtied, made to look like he was in the bed of the truck.

Armando una escena

La recaudación de fondos del presidente Joe Biden en Nueva York junto a los ex presidentes Barack Obama y Bill Clinton fue interrumpida por manifestantes pro-Palestina, quienes hicieron una gran escena en un lugar emblemático.

Joe y compañía estaban en el escenario del Radio City Music Hall el jueves por la noche, con Stephen Colbert como anfitrión, quien les hizo preguntas frente a una audiencia en vivo. Todo, cuyos asientos iban desde un centavo hasta $225 y $500k, en el marco de una recaudación de fondos para la campaña presidencial.

Mientras estaban hablando sobre lo ocurrido el 6 de enero, una mujer que se las había ingeniado para entrar en el edificio de alguna manera comenzó a gritar en voz alta.

While they were talking about Jan. 6, a woman who'd made her way into the building somehow -- mind you, lots of protesters were already outside -- started screaming out loud.

Larry David Trump's a Little Baby, Sociopath, Insane, Sick Man

"He's A Sick Man"
CNN

Larry David ripped into Donald Trump for refusing to accept the results of the 2020 election  ... saying the former Prez has upended 250 years of democracy, as LD explodes in anger.

The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star sounded off on "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?" ... where the accuser could not hide his disdain and contempt for 45.

Larry says  ... "He’s such a sociopath, he’s so insane, he just couldn’t admit to losing. And we know he lost. He knows he lost. And look how he’s fooled everybody, he’s convinced all these people that he didn’t lose. He’s such a sick man. He’s so sick."

Bill Maher Warning to Dems ... Kill Identity Politics, Or You're Gonna Lose

Identity Crisis
HBO

Bill Maher makes a super compelling case that pandering to racial groups is a sure way to lose elections ... because all these identities in America are now blurred beyond recognition.

The 'Real Time' host lasered in on Democrats who try to sell voters on what makes us different, and he says they're barking up the wrong tree because our country has blended.

As BM says, 1 out of 5 newlyweds are now in interracial marriages, which produce multiracial children, and that's just one of many examples he offers.

Beyond that, Bill notes we no longer fit into nice, neat boxes. For example, the #1 country song is Beyonce's. Forty-one percent of Dems live with someone who owns a gun. And, as Maher muses, there's even a "Gays for Trump" org because everybody knows gays love a good drag queen!

Maher says it's no surprise Joe Biden's losing Black voters by the day, because they and other groups generally no longer make identity the trigger for casting ballots.

It's a super interesting take ... have a look.
