Bizarre Deposition Shows Trump Is Afraid of Fruit
Deposition transcripts from failed former President Donald Trump have been made public and one moment in particular highlights Trump’s apparent fear of fruit. The deposition is from October 2021 and it’s related to a lawsuit between protesters and members of Trump’s security staff. During Trump’s testimony, he claimed that he feared protesters would throw fruit at him. He said, “I wanted to have people be ready because we were put on alert that they were going to do fruit.” Trump went on to say, “it’s very dangerous. I remember that specific event because everybody was on alert. They were going to hit — they were going to hit hard.” Finally, he remarked, “you can be killed if that happens.” Trump specifically singled out tomatoes as something he was worried about but added “some fruit is a lot worse.” This appears to be an irrational fear from the former president and perhaps it explains why he was always so obsessed with the “oranges” of investigations.
Trump Associate Roger Stone Says White House Has Satanic Portal
Trump confidant and Republican strategist Roger Stone appeared on a religious show called “Elijah Streams,” where he made the claim that the White House has a satanic portal hovering over it. Stone presented a photo of the White House at night with a red circle around a red light that appears to be floating over the building. He argued this is concrete evidence of the “inherent evil” that is going on in the White House and in the country and called for a “prayer assault” from the American people to close the portal. Roger doesn’t typically go down the road of religious nuttery, so it’s doubtful that he actually believes this stuff. What appears to be going on is that he recognizes he’s on a religious program, so he needs to bring some religious quackery of his own in order to appeal to the show’s audience.

Biden Told Obama He's Running for Re-Election in 2024
Last week, a report surfaced that Joe Biden told Barack Obama he plans to run for a second term as president in 2024. This is according to two anonymous sources from the White House. It’s not clear when this conversation took place, however it may have been a few weeks ago when Obama visited the White House to celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act. For most first-term presidents, it would not be surprising or major news to find out that they intend to run for a second term. However, this has always been a question for Biden, as he’ll be 82 on Inauguration Day 2025 and 86 by the time he would leave office in 2029. Biden still has another year or so to determine whether he will launch another run, but assuming this report is true, it looks like he is going to.

Roger Stone's Bizarre Pillow TV Show a Total Train Wreck
Roger Stone has a show now called “The Stone Zone” on the MyPillow guy’s network Lindell TV. So far, the program looks to be a total disaster with tech issues that are completely obvious to the viewers at home. In one clip of the show, while Stone is promoting dog pillows with a special coupon code, the audio become completely unsynced from the video. Making matters worse, the sound engineers can be heard chiming into Stone during the broadcast to get him to fix something, but the audio is broadcast to the public feed and it’s not clear that Stone could hear what he was saying at all. It’s uncertain how long this show will last, but they clearly have plenty of tech issues at “The Stone Zone” to deal with before it can get properly underway.
