2024 Presidential Election

El presidente Joe Biden no está guardando tanta privacidad para expresar su frustración con Benjamin Netanyahu y la forma en que está manejando la guerra en el Medio Oriente, diciendo que el primer ministro de Israel tiene que ver la luz.

El Presidente estuvo hablando con el senador Michael Bennet de Colorado en la Cámara el jueves después de pronunciar el discurso sobre el Estado de la Unión, y parece que no se dio cuenta de que estaba siendo grabado por un camarógrafo sigiloso.

Se puede decir que Joe estaba tratando de tener una conversación privada, lo que queda en evidencia por lo que dijo, que fue recogido por un micrófono: "Le dije, Bibi, y no repitas esto, pero tú y yo vamos a tener un come to Jesus moment'".

Joe, obviamente, estaba usando una frase que significa llegar a una gran realización acerca de algo, pero la frase está levantando sospechas, pues Benjamin Netanyahu es judío.

Parece que su personal se dio cuenta de que estaba hablando mal porque un ayudante se apresuró y al parecer le dijo al oído que se callara. Joe hizo exactamente eso, o eso parece.

Biden fue presionado sobre esto el viernes cuando se preparaba para abordar el Air Force One para un viaje de campaña en Filadelfia, donde los periodistas le preguntaron por qué hizo ese comentario.

En un primer momento, Biden explicó que no lo dijo en su discurso, pero cuando los periodistas le preguntaron acerca de lo que dijo a los legisladores después del discurso, culpó a los medios de comunicación por "escuchar a escondidas".

En su SOTU, Biden anunció que está dirigiendo el ejército de Estados Unidos para instalar un muelle junto al mar en Gaza que permitirá una afluencia masiva de ayuda para los palestinos. Pero escuchen, suena como que quiere que Netanyahu haga más en términos de ayuda humanitaria también.

President Joe Biden is not-so-privately expressing frustration with Benjamin Netanyahu and how he's handling the war in the Middle East ... saying Israel's PM needs to see the light -- as in Christ.

The Prez was talking to Senator Michael Bennet from Colorado on the House chamber floor Thursday after his State of the Union address -- which he didn't seem to realize was being recorded by a stealthy cameraman.

You can tell Joe was trying to have a private convo -- evidenced by what he said, which got picked up on a hot mic... "I told him, Bibi, and don't repeat this, but you and I are going to have a 'come to Jesus' meeting."

Joe obviously was using a phrase that means coming to some grand realization about something -- but the phrasing is raisin' some eyebrows ... y'know, since BN is Jewish.

It seems like his staff realized he was misspeaking -- 'cause an aide rushed over and got into his ear, seemingly telling him to zip it and move on. Joe did exactly that, or so it seems.

Biden was pressed about this on Friday when he was getting ready to board Air Force One for a campaign trip to Philadelphia ... with reporters asking him why he made the comment.

At first, Biden says he didn't say it in his speech -- but when reporters ask him about what he told lawmakers after the SOTU ... he blamed the media for "eavesdropping."

In his SOTU, Biden announced he's directing the U.S. military to install a seaside pier in Gaza that will allow for a massive influx of aid to Palestinians ... but take a listen, it sounds like he wants Netanyahu to do more in terms of humanitarian aid too.

President Biden invited a bunch of Gen-Z influencers to the White House to watch his State of the Union address -- and one person in the mix has the inside scoop on how it went.

Tiffany Aliche -- an author and renowned financial expert -- came on "TMZ Live" Friday to break down what it was like Thursday evening at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. with all these young whipper-snappers and Tiktokers around ... 'cause there were a crap ton of them.

Aliche -- who's built a massive following on Instagram and TikTok educating people about money -- tells us that she was one of over 60 influencers who attended the highly publicized evening ... and that there was a mix of internet personalities in attendance.

So, no ... it wasn't just political influencers -- fashionistas were there, too, it seems.

The message was clear for those in attendance ... Biden and his staffers wanted to reach Gen Z -- with Tiffany recalling that POTUS praised the content creators as "critical" to his campaign since they have a massive reach. Out with the old, as they say!

On whether this influencer effort will sway young voters to vote for Biden this fall ... Tiffany isn't certain -- but she does think it helped with raising awareness.

As for the vetting process required ... Tiffany says she was surprised that she wasn't asked about her political preference before being invited. The only conditions ... respect the White House as a historical building and a military compound.

She didn't even have to post if she didn't want to -- which sat well with Tiffany.

Other influencers invited to the White House ahead of the State of the Union included strategist Keith Edwards, activist Aaron Parnas, and "The Real Friends of WeHo" star Joey Zauzig.

Donald Trump se burló de Joe Biden después del discurso del Estado de la Unión del jueves, comparándolo con un personaje de dibujos animados en un video que publicó en su plataforma de medios sociales usando algunos filtros.

Como era de esperar, Donald Trump tomó la ruta más infantil para responder al discurso de más de una hora del presidente Biden en el Capitolio, publicando una breve compilación de Joe en el podio, con su Vicepresidenta sentada atrás, con un montón de filtros tontos.

Por extraño que parezca, el clip de 27 segundos subido a Truth Social utiliza imágenes del discurso de Biden del año pasado, ninguna de este año, lo cual es extraño.

En cualquier caso, el video junta cuatro escenas filtradas y animadas de Biden pronunciando el discurso de 2023 con Kamala Harris detrás, y los hizo verse bastante ridículos, como el tipo de cosas que un niño de 14 años podría hacer en su tiempo libre.

Algunas de las imágenes muestran a Biden y Harris con los ojos saltones y sus caras congeladas, así como con trenzas y sombreros. En otra imagen, Biden aparece como un perro greñudo y Pinocho.

Por supuesto, esto es relevante porque Trump se enfrentará a Biden en las elecciones presidenciales de 2024. Si la respuesta de Donald es un indicador, nos espera una gran cantidad de enfrentamientos durante esta campaña, por no hablar de bromas y críticas.

En cuanto al discurso de Biden sobre el Estado de la Unión, la mayoría de la gente del Partido Demócrata pensó que fue apasionado y entusiasta. El 46 Prez habló de una serie de temas, incluyendo la guerra en Gaza, Roe V. Wade, la invasión rusa de Ucrania y las amenazas a la democracia.

Biden también atacó a su rival del Partido Republicano sin nombrarlo. Potus citó a su "predecesor" diciéndole a Vladimir Putin: "Haz lo que te dé la gana" en Ucrania.

Donald Trump mocked Joe Biden after Thursday's State of the Union address ... comparing him to a cartoon character in a filtered video he posted to his social media platform.

Perhaps unsurprisingly ... DT went the juvenile route in response to President Biden's hour-plus speech at The Capitol ... posting a brief compilation of Joe at the podium -- with the Veep sitting behind him -- that featured JB and her with a bunch of goofy filters.

Strangely enough, the 27-second clip DT uploaded to Truth Social used footage from Biden's SOTU address last year ... none from this year, which was weird.

In any case ... the clips Trump threw up spliced together four filtered and animated scenes featuring Biden delivering the 2023 speech with Kamala Harris behind them -- and he made them out to look pretty ridiculous ... the type of thing a 14-year-old might do in his free time.

Some of the images showed Biden and Harris with bulging eyes and frozen faces, as well as braided pigtails and hats. Another visual depicted Biden as a shaggy dog and Pinocchio.

Of course, this is relevant because DT is going toe-to-toe with JB in the 2024 presidential election. If DT's response here was any indicator, we're in for a lot of mudslinging this campaign season ... not to mention sophomoric jokes and jabs.

As for Biden's SOTU speech ...  most people in his Democratic party thought it was passionate and rousing. The 46th Prez talked about a range of issues, including the war in Gaza, Roe V. Wade, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and threats to democracy.

Biden also took a shot at his GOP rival without naming him. POTUS quoted his "predecessor" telling Vladimir Putin, "Do whatever the hell you want," in Ukraine.

Joe Biden is going all out to make sure his State of the Union address resonates with Americans ... 'cause he's taking tips from former Presidents -- albeit, fake ones!

POTUS posted this video Thursday ahead of his SOTU later this evening, and he's zooming with a bunch of actors who've portrayed presidents in film or TV roles -- and yeah, he's got some big names here chatting with him.

Morgan Freeman -- who played President Tom Beck in "Deep Impact," as well as Pres. Trumbull in "Angel Has Fallen" -- reflects on his character having to deal with a looming meteor threat ... saying amid the crisis, people found solace in his message of hope.

Bill Pullman -- known for his role as President Thomas J. Whitmore in 1996's "Independence Day" -- looks back on his character's battle against invaders from outer space ... noting fear and chaos had a unifying effect on people.

As for Tony Goldwyn -- who played President Fitzgerald Grant III in "Scandal" -- he admitted his character behaved pretty badly while in office. But here's the kicker ... he advised Joe that if he just told the general public they made him a better man, they'd eat it up.

Michael Douglas, meanwhile, had some poignant advice to share ... emphasizing that love and compassion are strengths, not weaknesses, and urged Biden to utilize his first lady, Jill, to his advantage. He played President Andrew Shepherd in "The American President."

Geena Davis -- famous for her role as President Mackenzie Allen in the TV show "Commander In Chief" -- revealed that every week her character faced a new crisis, and the number one lesson she learned was that there's no crying in politics.

JB was clearly impressed by GD's portrayal, telling her she did one helluva job. And with a touch of humor, expressed his hope that his politics wouldn't make anyone else cry. The one big actor he was missing from the lineup is obviously Martin Sheen ... 'West Wing' anyone?

Nikki Haley acaba de retirarse de la carrera presidencial después de recibir una paliza de Donald Trump durante el Super Martes, pero si usted piensa que ella va a besar el anillo ahora, te equivocas.

La ex gobernadora de Carolina del Sur, que era la última candidata del Partido Republicano que quedaba tratando de ganar votos contra Trump en las primarias republicanas en los últimos tiempos, acaba de anunciar el miércoles que suspende su campaña por la Casa Blanca después de una decepcionante derrota esta semana.

Hubo un montón de estados que votaron por los candidatos de sus partidos y Nikki solo ganó uno de ellos contra Trump -en Vermont- en todos los demás, el expresidente ganó por goleada.

Durante su discurso de salida, Nikki dijo que estaba agradecida de tener la oportunidad de postularse para Presidente y se comprometió a seguir hablando sobre los temas que le apasionan.

Más interesante, sin embargo, fue el hecho de que ella se negó a apoyar a Trump, incluso ahora.

Ella dice que depende de Trump para ganar los votos de las personas que no lo apoyaron y suena como ella piensa que tiene mucho trabajo que hacer en ese departamento, incluso para ella misma. Nikki dice que Trump debe hacer un mejor trabajo al tratar de sumar más republicanos a su causa.

Nikki Haley just bowed out of the presidential race after taking a licking from Donald Trump during Super Tuesday -- but if you think she's gonna kiss the ring now ... you'd be wrong.

The former South Carolina governor -- who was the last remaining GOP candidate trying to win votes against DT in the Republican primaries as of late -- just announced Wednesday that she's suspending her campaign for the White House following a disappointing loss this week.

There were a lot of states that voted for their party's candidates ... and Nikki only won one of them against Trump, and that would be Vermont. Everywhere else, he won in a landslide.

During her exit speech, Nikki said she was grateful to have the opportunity to run for President ... and vowed to continue speaking on the issues she's passionate about.

More interestingly, though, was the fact she refused to endorse Trump, even now.

She says it's up to Trump to earn the votes of people who didn't back him -- and it sounds like she thinks he has a lot of work to do in that department, including for herself. NH says Trump should do a better job at embracing more Republicans/conservatives into his cause.

A Super Tuesday voter has gone viral for his explicit explanation of why Nikki Haley shouldn't be president -- according to him, it's 'cause she' is missing a scrotum.

Check out this video that features a North Carolina resident -- identified as Emmett Martin -- confessing to NBC News that he never even considered the former governor of South Carolina as a candidate over the simple fact that she's a woman.

The way he puts it is pretty rich in misogyny ... he says, she "has no balls to scratch."

Emmett says that since the ex-Gov. didn't have male private parts ... she shouldn't be a contender in the Republican primary race. We're not sure what genitalia has to do with running a country ... but it's clearly important to this constituent.

BTW, it isn't just Nikki that the voter disapproved of ... it's all women, apparently who he said are only good for "having babies and taking care of the house."

He did backtrack slightly -- suggesting that there are women out there who know what they’re doing ... but added they need a bit of guidance from someone like Donald Trump.

Shaquille Brewster -- the correspondent who interviewed Emmett ... said this isn't the first time that voters have told him they wouldn't vote for Nikki based on her gender. However, it is the first time the response was so bluntly said on camera.

Taylor Swift está saltando en las presidenciales 2024 durante este Super Tuesday, pero se está guardando de entregarle su codiciado respaldo al presidente Joe Biden o a cualquier otro candidato, en este caso.

Taylor dio la voz de alarma el martes por la mañana con un post en sus historias de IG, que decía: "Amigos, quería recordarles que voten por las personas que más los representan en el poder. Si aún no lo han hecho, hagan un plan para votar hoy".

Los expertos en política se han puesto manos a la obra para discutir el potencial de Taylor para influir en esta campaña electoral, después de ver lo extremadamente leales que son sus fans. Basta con preguntarle al comisionado de la NFL, Roger Goodell.

La administración Biden ha sido abierta sobre su deseo de obtener un respaldo de Taylor, como lo hizo en 2020, y el propio Joe se ha inclinado por la posibilidad de que lo respalde.

El equipo de Donald Trump, mientras tanto, le ha declarado la "guerra santa" a la cantante y los Swifties, según han informado algunos medios, insistiendo en que el ex presidente es "más popular" que ella y tiene fans más leales.

Taylor no está respaldando a nadie hoy, y la mayoría de los analistas políticos no esperan que lo haga hasta que nos acerquemos al día de las elecciones en noviembre.

En su llamado a los Swifties en IG, Taylor instó a todos a ir a vote.org para encontrar información sobre los lugares de votación y los tiempos, si están en alguno de los 16 estados o territorios donde se votan primarias hoy.

Taylor Swift is leaping into 2024 presidential politics on Super Tuesday, but she's stopping short of that coveted endorsement of President Joe Biden ... or any candidate, for that matter.

Taylor sounded the alarm early Tuesday morning with a post on her IG story, writing a note that says, "I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power. If you haven't already, make a plan to vote today."

Political pundits have had a field day discussing the potential power of Taylor to swing campaigns this election season, having seen the power of her extremely loyal fan base. Just ask NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about it.

The Biden administration's been open about its desire to get an endorsement from Taylor -- as she did in 2020 -- and Joe himself has leaned into the possibility of her backing him.

Donald Trump's camp, meanwhile, has reportedly declared "holy war" on the singer and Swifties ... insisting the former prez is "more popular" than her, with more loyal fans.

Taylor's not endorsing anyone today, and most political analysts don't expect her to do so until we get closer to election day in November.

In her IG call out to Swifties, Taylor urged everyone to hit up vote.org to find info on polling places and times ... if you're in one of the 16 states or territories voting in today's primaries.

Solid advice.

Donald Trump permanecerá en la boleta electoral en Colorado para las elecciones presidenciales de 2024, y eso va para todos los demás estados. Esto es algo que el Tribunal Supremo acaba de establecer.

Los nueve jueces fallaron por unanimidad el lunes a favor de Trump en su apelación contra el Estado de Colorado, que había tratado de arrancarlo de su boleta electoral de noviembre, citando la cláusula de insurrección en la Constitución y decidir que había participado en una el 6 de enero.

El alto tribunal no se pronunció sobre si eso era cierto o no, lo único que decidió aquí fue sobre si inhabilitar a funcionarios federales por una insurrección le correspondía al Congreso y no a los Estados. En otras palabras, dijeron que Colorado malinterpretó la ley.

Escriben en su opinión: "Por las razones expuestas, la responsabilidad de hacer cumplir la Sección 3 contra los titulares de cargos federales y candidatos corresponde al Congreso y no a los Estados".

Continúa: "La sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de Colorado allí no puede mantenerse". Continúan diciendo que la decisión de Colorado de inhabilitar a Trump ahora es revocada, y que obviamente sentará un precedente con otros estados que también intentaron hacer esto los últimos meses.

Maine e Illinois también le prohibieron a Trump aparecer en sus papeletas, citando la misma cláusula de insurrección.

Donald Trump will remain on the ballot in Colorado for the 2024 presidential election, and that goes for every other state as well ... something the Supreme Court just set in stone.

All nine Justices ruled unanimously Monday in favor of DT in his appeal against the State of Colorado -- which had tried to boot him from their November ballot ... citing the insurrection clause in the Constitution and deciding he had, in fact, participated in one on Jan. 6.

The high court didn't weigh in on whether that was true or not ... all they decided here was this issue of disbarring federal officials from office over an insurrection was for Congress to decide, and not for the States. In other words, they said Colorado misinterpreted the law.

They write in their opinion ... "For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States."

SCOTUS continues, "The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court there cannot stand." They go on to say that Colorado's decision to disqualify Trump is now reversed, and that'll obviously set a precedent with other states that attempted to do this in recent months too.

Maine and Illinois also barred Trump from appearing on their ballots -- citing the same insurrection clause -- but now that the Supreme Court has weighed in ... they lose as well.

Bill Maher was HYSTERICAL Friday night, with a message to Joe Biden ... embrace your old fart self!!!

The 'Real Time' host made a barrage of solid points, in particular -- When the Prez says he's sharper than ever, no one's buyin' what he's selling.

Or, as BM says, Joe's so old his bad kid with a drug problem is 54!

So, Bill says he should stop riding bikes and hopping on TikTok. Hillary tried it and it didn't work for her.  BTW, thanks for the shout-out, Bill!

Fact is, old people vote way more than the youngins. So appeal to the "Matlock" crowd and advertise on CBS.

And then ... Bill had a brainstorm for Thursday's State of the Union, and it's genius. Biden should appear before the joint session of Congress ambling up to the stage with a walker.

Hunter Schafer -- one of the stars of the TV show "Euphoria" -- was taken away in handcuffs Monday while protesting the Israel-Hamas war in NYC ... this during President Joe Biden's visit.

Check out the photo ... Sporting a t-shirt that read "Cease Fire Now" -- obviously calling for an end to the fighting going on in Gaza -- the actress was escorted away by an NYPD officer with her hands cuffed behind her back at Rockefeller Plaza in Midtown Manhattan.

Schafer was one of 33 "Jewish Voice For Peace" protesters arrested Monday afternoon and issued two summonses for trespassing and disorderly conduct. Both charges are less serious violations of the law.

Schafer, who plays Jules on "Euphoria," was protesting the military fight in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas. The two rivals began their latest battle October 7, 2023, after Hamas terrorists invaded the Jewish state, slaughtering 1,200 Israelis during a sneak attack.

Since then, Israel has waged a violent and deadly conflict against the militants, who control Gaza and the Palestinians living under their rule. Many Palestinians have lost their lives, sparking anger and protests around the world, including in the United States.

Yesterday, videos posted to social media showed the "Jewish Voice" group sitting in the lobby of Rockefeller Center while waving banners that read "Jews to Biden: Stop arming genocide” and “Lasting cease-fire."

Hunter Schafer, una de las estrellas de la serie de televisión "Euphoria", fue esposada el lunes mientras protestaba contra la guerra entre Israel-Hamas en Nueva York, durante la visita del Presidente Joe Biden.

Echa un vistazo a la foto, la actriz llevaba una camiseta que decía "Alto al fuego ahora", en alusión al llamado a poner fin a los combates en Gaza. En la imagen se ve cómo es escoltada por un oficial de la policía de Nueva York con las manos esposadas en la espalda en Rockefeller Plaza en el centro de Manhattan.

Schafer fue una de los 33 manifestantes de "Jewish Voice For Peace" detenidos el lunes por la tarde. La actriz recibió dos citaciones por allanamiento y alteración del orden público. Ambos cargos son violaciones menos graves de la ley.

Schafer, quien interpreta a Jules en "Euphoria", protestaba contra la lucha militar en la Franja de Gaza entre Israel y Hamás. Los dos rivales iniciaron su última batalla el 7 de octubre de 2023, después de que terroristas de Hamás invadieran el Estado judío y masacraran a 1.200 israelíes durante un ataque furtivo.

Desde entonces, Israel ha librado un violento y mortífero conflicto contra los militantes, que controlan Gaza y a los palestinos que viven bajo su dominio. Muchos palestinos han perdido la vida, lo que ha desatado la ira y las protestas en todo el mundo, incluido Estados Unidos.

Videos publicados ayer en las redes sociales mostraban al grupo "Jewish Voice" sentado en el vestíbulo del Rockefeller Center mientras ondeaban pancartas en las que se podía leer "Jews to Biden: Stop arming genocide" y "Lasting cease-fire".
