During the State of the Union on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump paid tribute to the late right-wing political advocate Charlie Kirk, who was publicly killed last year ... saying there should be no political violence of any kind as Charlie's wife, Erika Kirk, is seen getting emotional in the audience.

While Trump was honoring those whose stories have impacted our country recently, he took a moment to honor who he called his "great friend, Charlie Kirk." As the broadcast panned to Erika in the audience, tears filled her eyes as the president described the fatal last moments Charlie lived.

Erika wiped away tears as members of the audience took to their feet and applauded for her late husband. Trump addressed the nation in regards to Charlie's death, saying we must remember we are "one nation, under God" and must "totally reject political violence of any kind."

Donald Trump turned his State of the Union into an all-out brawl Tuesday night as he attacked Democrats, calling them "crazy" and accusing them of cheating elections.

Trump severely divided the room by asking the audience to stand if they believed America's first mission was to protect American citizens. Many Democrats remained seated while Trump scowled at them.

"You should be ashamed of yourselves," he said.

Texas Democratic Congressman Al Green got kicked out of the State of the Union on Tuesday after appearing to protest one of President Donald Trump's racist social media posts.

Green held a sign which read "Black People Aren't Apes" as he was escorted from the event. Watch the video to see the tussle he gets into as he exits.

As you know ... Trump posted a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes earlier this month. The post has since been removed from Trump's Truth Social page.

Gavin Newsom wasn't making racist remarks during a recent event -- since it looked like he was the intermission entertainment at a Coldplay concert -- so says our own Harvey Levin.

The TMZ executive producer tore into the misinformed outrage directed at the Governor of California after he related his own education and background to the audience at a book event in Atlanta, Georgia.

If you haven't seen the clip ... Governor Newsom basically says he had a mediocre SAT score and he can't read well due to his severe dyslexia ... so he's no better than anyone in the audience.

Nicki Minaj has been using her voice to prop up the MAGA movement ... but a new study finds that her platforms have been reportedly boosted by an coordinated army of more than 18,000 bots.

Politico shared the report, which was compiled by the disinformation detection company Cyabra ... in it, analysis of Nicki's social media activity from November 11 to December 28 found that thousands of fake accounts used similar language to praise Nicki's posts and attack authentic accounts who were critical of Nicki.

According to Cyabra, there was one day in December where 56 percent of all comments on Nicki's political posts were fake.

Nicki Minaj is going OFF on California Governor Gavin Newsom after a speaking engagement in Georgia ... she thinks he was telling black voters they're "probably stupid" to their faces.

In a tirade posted to X, the "Super Bass" rapper wrote, "His way of bonding with black ppl is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can't read."

She continued ... "He's not just TELLING them that they're probably stupid & probably can't read, he's LITERALLY SLOW-ING-DOWN-HIS-SPEECH to make them understand the words that are coming out of his mouth!!!!"

Disgraced ex-Prince Andrew had his portrait hung inside the world famous Louvre Museum in Paris, France ... but, trust us, it's not what you think.

A UK-based activist group called "People Vs Elon" poked fun at Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest last week by framing a now famous photo of the former prince slumped in the backseat of a car with a horrified look on his face and hanging it against a wall inside the Louvre on Sunday.

The activist group even filmed their prank and posted the video on Tik Tok with a caption that read “He’s Sweating Now," which refers to a comment once made by Andrew who said he would never sweat. The activists also wrote, “they say 'hang it in the louvre'. So we did #princeandrew." It's unclear if the Louvre removed Andrew's picture frame.

9:22 AM PT -- Authorities have identified the Mar-a-Lago man who was shot and killed by Secret Service as 21-year-old North Carolina resident Austin Tucker Martin.

A man in his early 20s was shot and killed by U.S. Secret Service agents after breaching the secure perimeter at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property early Sunday morning.

The U.S. Secret Service says the incident unfolded around 1:30 AM near the north gate of the Palm Beach estate.

According to officials, the man was observed near the property carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can. Secret Service agents, along with a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, confronted him and shots were fired during the encounter.

The President was not at Mar-a-Lago when the incident occurred. He's currently in Washington, D.C.

President Trump says Barack Obama would be wise to keep his mouth shut about aliens ... 'cause he says Obama gave out top secret information on a podcast where Obama said extraterrestrials were real.

Check out this exchange between Trump and FOX News' Peter Doocy Thursday aboard Air Force One.

Peter asks POTUS if he's "seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth" given that Obama recently came out and said aliens were real.

Trump shoots back ... "Well, he gave classified information, he's not supposed to be doing that."

President Trump says former Prince Andrew's arrest in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein Files is bad for the British royal family.

Trump was asked about Andrew's Thursday arrest during a scrum with reporters on Air Force One and said he thinks "it's a shame."

POTUS went on to say the whole situation was "very sad" and "so bad" for the Royals.

Savannah Chrisley says President Trump is NOT a racist ... but the women on "The View" beg to differ ... and they confronted her right to her face!!!

Check out this clip from Savannah's guest host appearance on the ABC daytime talk show ... during the hot topics discussion today, she says it's hard for her to reckon with people calling Trump a racist.

Savannah goes on to say Trump can't be a racist because "he saved one of my best friends' lives, a Black woman who has been with him for 18 years."

Sunny Hostin quickly fired back that just because Trump has a Black friend doesn't mean he's not a racist.

Hours after Reverend Jesse Jackson's death, President Donald Trump memorialized the civil rights pioneer in a way only Trump could ... by making it all about Trump -- and he threw in a jab at former President Barack Obama for good measure.

POTUS shared a tribute to Jackson on Truth Social, listing all the ways he helped the late minister. Trump says he gave Jackson office space in one of his buildings, responded to Jackson's requests for criminal justice reform, and passed long-term funding for HBCUs ... "despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a Racist."

Then he inexplicably throws shade at Obama, writing, "He had much to do with the election, without acknowledgment or credit, of Barack Hussein Obama, a man who Jesse could not stand."

ChatDJT has entered the chat .... Nicki Minaj honored her new favorite POTUS this Presidents Day with A.I.-generated photos of Donald J. Trump riding shotgun with her.

Check out the pics ... the fake DJT is swagged out in gear fit for a Barbz -- pink jacket and bedazzled jeans with a lot of bling hanging from his neck.

If you look closely, you can see that the original image appears to have featured Nicki's husband, Kenneth Petty. A reflection that looks a lot like Kenneth is seen in the window behind the A.I. Trump's head.

Donald Trump might’ve been celebrating Presidents Day stateside ... but over in Germany, they were dragging him through the streets -- literally.

Düsseldorf’s infamous "Rose Monday" carnival parade unleashed a brutal procession of Trump mockery ... with massive floats showing Trump caricatures punching Jesus, cozying up to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and even dancing pants-less with a gagged Statue of Liberty with his tongue hanging out.

They did not hold back on the visuals -- another Trump model had his naked rear in the air, with lipstick kisses labeled with various names and organizations -- all exaggerated for maximum effect in front of massive crowds.

Congressman Eric Swalwell was evidently a big fan of erotica in college ... and now we're getting a glimpse of some of what he wrote!

The Daily Mail uncovered a sexually graphic poem penned by the Democrat from California apparently written when he was 19 years old ... and it is wild! Titled "Hungover From Burgundy," the poem describes two lovers who meet at the top of a hotel for "formless and magnificent" sex.

What kind of sex is "formless and magnificent"? Well, in Swalwell's vivid imagination it includes engorged vessels, a "flurry of limbs and nails" ... and a little bit of blood. He's apparently got a thing for biting!

Barack Obama sent the internet into a frenzy after saying aliens are real during a recent podcast appearance ... but now the former prez is walking it back, saying he's never seen any evidence of extraterrestrials while in office.

ICYMI ... 44 sat down with Bryan Tyler Cohen, who asked him point blank whether aliens are real. Obama replied, "They’re real, but I haven’t seen them," before joking they're not being kept at Area 51 -- adding there's no underground facility ... unless there was some "enormous conspiracy" being kept from him.

Obama's comments spread like wildfire ... leading to him issuing a follow-up statement softening any definitive claim. He explains, "I was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round, but since it’s gotten attention, let me clarify. Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there."
