How Men Think

Trump’s new press secretary, 41-year-old Katie Zacharia is becoming her own headline after making her debut today in her first press conference. Zacharia looked and sounded nervous in her first outing infront of the White House Press Corps, reading from her notes and only calling on three reporters, all from conservative networks. She shockingly only held a 13 minute press briefing, which left news outlets without the ability to ask any questions and the resulting headlines are now questioning just how long Zacharia will last in the position.

Shortly after Trump’s new press secretary made news by revealing the President asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign her position as U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Guilfoyle kinda sorta made a resignation announcement on X. The former ambassador didn’t use the word “resign”, but instead acknowledged that her “time as Ambassador may be coming to an end.”  Guilfoyle also addressed “the recent allegations” against her, calling them false, saying she intends to vigorously defend her name.  Meantime the Trump donor who Guilfoyle allegedly begged to pay her American Express bill is making the media rounds, saying he intends to sue Guilfoyle for defamation in the coming days.

This is the first time Governor Ron DeSantis has ever canceled a planned execution in his nearly 8 years in office. While DeSantis did not officially give a reason for the stay of William Lee Thompson’s execution, an anti death penalty group describes Thompson as “gravely ill, has dementia” and requires complete assistance for basic activities. Thompson has spent nearly 5 years on death row for the heinous and brutal beating death of 23-year-old Sally Iverson, but according to reports, the 74-year-old lacks the mental capacity to understand his situation and the reason why he’s on death row.

At Noon today, Florida is set to execute a man who killed his cellmate while he was sleeping to upgrade his prison accommodations. 63-year-old James “Chickenhead” Robertson bragged on a Netflix documentary that he planned and premeditated the murder of his cellmate, Frank Hart, so he could be moved to death row. Robertson pleaded guilty to first degree murder, waived his right to appeal, and asked for the death penalty back in 2008, and today Florida is carrying out his requested punishment.

Kelly Clarkson accused a Brooklyn specialty store of treating her like she couldn’t afford its merchandise. Clarkson publicly called out Art of Play in Brooklyn, writing on X “Wow, dude. You’re an idiot and just lost a huge sale” after they wouldn’t sell her a $15,000 singing and dancing bird automaton. Art of Play defended itself saying the mechanical bird she wanted to buy wasn’t for sale, and offered her alternatives.
