Mariah Carey La reina de la Navidad visita la Casa Blanca
El reinado de Mariah Carey como la reina de la Navidad continua, ya que viajó hasta D.C. para contagiar un poco de alegría festiva en la Casa Blanca.
En un post compartido en su cuenta de Instagram el miércoles, la cantante fue vista con el Presidente Joe Biden y sus gemelos de 12 años, Moroccan y Monroe.
Vistiendo un mini vestido brillante y una chaqueta recortada a juego, Mariah estaba en su salsa, ya que también se tomó algunas fotos con Kamala Harris y su marido Doug Emhoff.
En el pie de foto de IG, Mariah habló de la gran decoración festiva que vio durante la visita, que tuvo lugar la semana pasada con sus hijos.
Los gemelos han estado apareciendo mucho últimamente en las aventuras relacionadas con la Navidad de su mamá. Recientemente, también aparecieron en el video musical de la versión actualizada de su clásico, "All I Want For Christmas Is You".
Desde hace años, Mariah se ha comprometido a hacer del periodo previo a la Navidad algo muy especial. Pero su gira festiva terminó el 17 de diciembre y estamos esperando que pueda tomarse un día para relajarse.
MARIAH CAREY QUEEN OF XMAS VISITS THE WHITE HOUSE!!!
Mariah Carey's reign as the Queen of Xmas is only getting stronger ... as she journeyed to D.C. to spread some festive cheer at the White House.
In a post shared to her IG Wednesday, the singer posed with President Joe Biden ... with her 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe in tow.
Wearing a glittering minidress and matching cropped jacket for some extra Christmas flare, Mariah was in her element as she also got snap-happy with Kamala Harris & her hubby Doug Emhoff.
In the caption, Mariah gushed about all the extensive festive decor she saw during the visit ... which took place last week with her brood.
The twins have been popping up a lot lately in their momma's Christmas-related ventures ... most recently in the music vid for the upgraded version of her classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
For years now, Mariah's been committed to making the run-up to Christmas special -- but with her festive tour wrapping on Dec. 17 ... we're hoping she has the day itself to unwind.

Donald Trump Lemonade Jab At Biden's All Fake ... Just An Internet Hoax!!!
Donald Trump's going viral for jabbing President Biden over a couple deaths linked to Panera lemonade ... but someone's putting words in Trump's mouth because it's all bogus.
Here's the deal ... there are a series of screenshots from a recent Trump speech going viral online, and they claim to quote Trump blaming Biden for two deaths linked to a new drink from Panera.
Trump and Biden are easy targets here ... it's not crazy to believe Trump would go after Biden for such a story, but it turns out lots of folks are being duped ... because the quotes are totally fake.
The viral images have made up quotes attributed to Trump, where he's saying ... "Everything is bad under Biden. Even the lemonade is killing people. Did you see that? People drink lemonade and die."
The fake Trump quote is referencing a couple recent deaths linked to Panera's new Charged Lemonade, which is super caffeinated.
Other fake Trump quotes included ... "The lemonade didn't kill you when I was president. It was tasty and fun to drink. We loved the lemonade, didn't we?"
Another falsely quotes as Trump saying ... "We did, but not under Biden. Bacon is more money. Gas is more money. The lemonade is more money and it kills you."
The fourth and final says ... "When life hands you lemons, Joe Biden kills you with them."
The screenshots and fake closed captioning is from Trump's recent speech in Iowa ... but anyone watching the speech will find out there's no mention of lemonade whatsoever.
Social media's rife with fake quotes attributed to politicians, celebs and athletes these days ... but lots of folks haven't caught on yet.

Joe Biden Fundraiser Interrupted By Pro-Palestinian Marchers ... 'No Votes For Mass Murderer'
Joe Biden's L.A. fundraiser was interrupted Friday by screaming pro-Palestinian demonstrators as police in riot gear stood guard, trying to keep the peace.
The 46th Prez arrived by motorcade to last night's political event in Holmby Hills, where dozens of demonstrators had gathered to voice their anger over what they see as the extermination of the Palestinians by Israel.
Scores of Palestinians have been killed since the bloody Israel-Hamas war began in October. At the time, Hamas terrorists invaded the Jewish state and slaughtered 1,400 Israelis, triggering the deadly conflict. Hamas rules over the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
During Friday's fundraiser, demonstrators threw objects at officers and passing vehicles, while holding up signs that read, "No votes for mass murderer," a reference to Biden's 2024 presidential bid. They were also chanting "Free free, Palestine" and "Long Live Palestine."
LAPD Chief Michel Moore said his officers did not have to use force or make any arrests because the demonstrators eventually dispersed.
Meanwhile, Biden delivered a short speech at the celebrity-studded event, calling his 2024 Republican rival, Donald Trump, a threat to democracy. He also talked about his first-term economic successes and the federal judges he has confirmed to the courts.
Among the notable attendees were Jill Biden, Steven Spielberg, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. Rock 'n' roll star Lenny Kravitz also showed up to perform for the crowd.

Joe Biden Evento interrumpido por manifestantes propalestinos "Ningún voto para un asesino"
La recaudación de fondos de Joe Biden en Los Ángeles fue interrumpida el viernes por manifestantes pro-palestinos que gritaban, mientras la policía con equipos antidisturbios montaba guardia y trataba de mantener la paz.
El 46º Presidente llegó en caravana al acto político de anoche en Holmby Hills, donde decenas de manifestantes se habían reunido para expresar su ira por lo que consideran el exterminio de los palestinos por Israel.
Decenas de palestinos han muerto desde que comenzó la sangrienta guerra entre Israel y Hamás en octubre. Entonces, los terroristas de Hamás invadieron el Estado judío y masacraron a 1.400 israelíes, desencadenando el sangriento conflicto.
Durante la recaudación de fondos el viernes, los manifestantes arrojaron objetos a los agentes y a los vehículos que pasaban, y llevaron pancartas que decían "No votes por un asesino (mass murderer)", en referencia a la candidatura presidencial de Biden para 2024. También coreaban "Free free, Palestine" y "Long Live Palestine".
El jefe de la policía de Los Ángeles, Michel Moore, dijo que sus agentes no tuvieron que usar la fuerza ni realizar ningún arresto porque los manifestantes acabaron dispersándose.
Mientras tanto, Biden pronunció un breve discurso en el evento repleto de celebridades, en el que calificó a su rival republicano de 2024, Donald Trump, como una amenaza para la democracia. También habló de los éxitos económicos de su primer mandato, así como de los jueces federales que ha confirmado.
Entre los asistentes destacados estuvieron Jill Biden, Steven Spielberg, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff. La estrella del Rock n Roll Lenny Kravitz también apareció y actuó para la multitud.
Donald Trump I Promise I'll Be a Dictator ... But Only on Day 1
Donald Trump made an ominous promise Tuesday night ... he promises if he's elected President again he will be a dictator ... but only for a short time.
Trump was front and center at a Fox News town hall when Sean Hannity asked him if he had plans to abuse power if elected. Sounds like a crazy question, but you may recall Trump has been talking about retribution against his enemies if he gets back in The White House.
Trump was clear ... yes, he would be a dictator on Day 1, but not thereafter. And, he said, on Day 1, he would unilaterally close the border and create a clear path for oil drilling.
Here's the thing ... if you look at the history of dictators in the world, they generally don't give up power once they attain it.
The other thing ... when Trump says he'd be a dictator for a day, it's not clear what that means in reference to the border and drilling. If he's talking about executive orders -- something presidents have in their toolbox of power -- that's not dictatorial. So it's interesting he embraced the word "dictator."
One more thing ... during the grievance-filled show, Trump said, "I often say Al Capone, he was one of the greatest of all time if you like criminals. He was a mob boss the likes of which -- Scarface they called him -- and he got indicted once. I got indicted 4 times."
Sorry, Donald, Al's got you beat. Capone was indicted 6 times.

Donald Trump Promete que será un dictador ... Pero solo el día 1
Donald Trump hizo una promesa siniestra el martes por la noche. Dijo que si es elegido presidente nuevamente sería un dictador, pero solo por un corto periodo de tiempo.
Trump estaba al frente y al centro de unos de los principales edificios de Fox News cuando Sean Hannity le preguntó si tenía planes de abusar del poder si era elegido. Suena una pregunta descabellada, pero hay que recordar que Trump ha estado hablando de represalias contra sus enemigos si se llega otra vez a la Casa Blanca.
Trump fue claro. Sí, sería un dictador el Día 1, pero no después. Y dijo el Día 1, pues cerraría unilateralmente la frontera y crearía una estrategia clara para la perforación petrolera.
Esta es la cuestión, si nos fijamos en la historia de los dictadores en el mundo, por lo general no renuncian al poder una vez que lo alcanzan.
La otra cosa es que cuando Trump dice que sería un dictador por un día, no está claro lo que eso significaría en lo que se refiere a la frontera y la perforación. Si está hablando de órdenes ejecutivas -algo que los presidentes tienen entre sus potestades- eso no es dictatorial. Así que es interesante que haya abrazado la palabra "dictador".
Algo más, durante el programa -que estuvo lleno de agravios- Trump dijo: "A menudo digo que Al Capone, fue uno de los más grandes de todos los tiempos si te gustan los criminales. Era un jefe de la mafia de la talla de, Scarface lo llamaban, y fue acusado una vez. A mí me han acusado 4 veces".
Lo siento, Donald, pero Al te ganó. Capone fue acusado 6 veces.
Flavor Flav I'm Down to Take Taylor Swift College Course!!!

Flavor Flav is all for Harvard University's Taylor Swift course, noting he's 100% open to enrolling ... and acknowledging he's reached super-fandom.
The Public Enemy rapper spoke to TMZ Hip Hop in NYC outside of ABC Studios Thursday where he listed off the many reasons why the English Department at Harvard will win big with the course, "Taylor Swift and Her World."
Professor Stephanie Burt is prepping the TS coursework to be taught for the upcoming spring semester and Flav tells us it's the perfect course for him and other artists.
Flav says he's actively studied Taylor's lyrics which ultimately birthed his fan club membership card -- which got the platinum stamp during the "Eras" tour in earlier this year.
Flav thinks Taylor's music is completely relatable -- just as much as Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige's -- but he isn't just sizing TS up against other singers.
Flav tells us if Taylor was ever to run for president, neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump would have a chance with her on the ballot ... he's voting Team 1989 all the way!!!

MARK CUBAN ¿SE PRESENTA A PRESIDENTE?
Mark Cuban dice que no hay "ninguna posibilidad" de que esté tratando de hacer campaña para llegar a la Casa Blanca tras las especulaciones de que podría postularse para Presidente en 2024 después de vender una participación mayoritaria en los Dallas Mavericks de la NBA.
Comentarios de la supuesta jugada política inundaron X, aunque el multimillonario le dice a TMZ que una campaña presidencial para el próximo año no está en los planes y añade que "la familia me repudiaría".
Recordemos que después de años de construir su imperio, Mark está poniendo a la familia en primer lugar, anunciando en el podcast de Showtime "All The Smoke" el lunes, que dejaba "Shark Tank" después de 16 temporadas ya que entra en conflicto con su tiempo personal.
Además que convertirse en Presidente —posiblemente el trabajo más ocupado en el mundo— no haría mucho para despejar su agenda.
Sin embargo, ha entretenido la idea antes, divulgando a Harvey en "OBJECTified" en 2017 que se postularía como republicano para desafiar a Donald Trump. En 2019, Mark nos dijo que su familia "votó en contra" de su serio deseo de postularse a la presidencia en 2020.
La renovada charla política ganó tracción después de que TMZ Sports confirmara que Mark estaba vendiendo su participación mayoritaria, supuestamente valorada en $3.5B, a Miriam Adelson, obteniendo un retorno masivo de la inversión después de comprar el equipo en 2000 por $285 millones.
Mark Cuban Sells Majority Stake In NBA's Dallas Mavericks
Él conservará algunas acciones y ser el líder de la toma de decisiones cuando se trata de operaciones de baloncesto, pero la viuda/heredera multimillonaria Adelson, tiene algunos planes propios para los Mavs. Principalmente la construcción de un nuevo estadio y casino, y un proyecto de ley de juego pasa en Texas.
En cuanto a Mark, tendrá mucho más tiempo libre y quién sabe, tal vez el Despacho Oval esté llamando su nombre en 2028.
MARK CUBAN RUN FOR PRESIDENT? THAT'S 'GALAXIES OFF!!!'
Mark Cuban says there's "no chance" he's trying to campaign his way into the White House ... following speculation he might run for President in 2024 after selling a majority stake in the NBA's Dallas Mavericks.
Comments of the supposed political move flooded in on X ... though the billionaire tells TMZ that a presidential campaign trail for next year was "galaxies off" and adding, "family would disown me."
Remember ... after years of building his empire, Mark is putting family first -- announcing on the Showtime podcast "All The Smoke" Monday he was leaving "Shark Tank" after 16 seasons as it conflicts with his personal time.
And of course ... becoming President -- arguably the busiest job in the world -- wouldn't do a whole lot to clear up his schedule.
However, he's entertained the idea before, divulging to Harvey on "OBJECTified" in 2017 that he'd run as a Republican to challenge Donald Trump. In 2019, Mark told us his family "voted down" his serious desire to run for President in 2020.
The renewed political chat gained traction after TMZ Sports confirmed Mark was selling his majority stake, reportedly valued at $3.5B, to Miriam Adelson ... getting a massive return on the investment after buying the team in 2000 for $285 million.
Mark Cuban Sells Majority Stake In NBA's Dallas Mavericks
He'll retain some shares and be the lead decision-maker when it comes to basketball ops -- but billionaire widow/heiress Adelson has some plans of her own for the Mavs ... mainly building a new arena and casino -- if a gambling bill passes in Texas.
As for Mark ... he'll have a lot more free time on his hands ... and who knows, maybe the Oval Office will be calling his name in 2028 ...

LA CASA BLANCA SE CONVIERTE EN UN PARAÍSO INVERNAL … con las decoraciones navideñas de 2023
La Casa Blanca luce cada vez más la Navidad, está completamente adornada con decoraciones tan elaboradas que harían sonrojar al mismísimo Santa Claus
Durante el fin de semana de Acción de Gracias, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue se engalanó por completo… y parece que el Presidente Biden y su equipo están listos para dar la bienvenida a la alegría de diciembre, tomando en cuenta todos los adornos que se instalaron en el edificio y sus alrededores.
Están todos los elementos tradicionales que uno esperaría… árboles de Navidad, coronas, luces y nieve falsa por todas partes, pero también parece haber un tema navideño específico.
La Casa Blanca dice que este año ha optado por un motivo de “Magia, maravilla y alegría”, pero si observas con atención lo que adorna los pasillos en este momento, pareciera que a los Biden les encanta lo dulce, ¡hay un montón de dulces y golosinas falsas colgando del techo!
Siempre es genial ver cómo la Casa del Pueblo se suma al espíritu festivo… y esperan recibir bastantes visitantes durante el próximo mes y algo más, ¡alrededor de 100,000 según los empleados de la Casa Blanca!
Es la temporada de la alegría y la política. Suelen ir de la mano estas dos, ¿verdad?
White House Becomes Winter Wonderland ... In '23 Xmas Decorations
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the White House -- which is completely decked out in decorations ... so elaborate, in fact, they might even make Saint Nick himself blush.
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue got adorned over Thanksgiving weekend ... and it looks like President Biden and co. are ready to welcome December cheer based on all the sparkly ornaments that went up all throughout the building and the rest of the grounds.
There's all the traditional stuff you'd expect ... Xmas trees, wreaths, lights and fake snow all over the place -- but there also seems to be a little bit of a specific holiday theme here.
The White House says they're going with a "Magic, Wonder and Joy" motif this year ... but if you read into what exactly is lining the halls right now -- it would appear the Bidens have a sweet tooth, 'cause there's a bunch of fake candy/treats hanging from the ceilings!
It's always cool to see the People's House get into the spirit of things ... and it also sounds like they're expecting quite a few visitors throughout the next month and change -- upwards of 100,000 or so, according to WH staffers.
'Tis the season ... to be merry and political. Those usually go hand-in-hand, right?

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass Biden Ain't Too Old for Presidency

Exclusive
- 506 shares
Joe Biden's age has come under scrutiny as 2024 approaches, but a fellow Dem is going to bat for him ... none other than Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
Mayor Bass -- who served in Congress before her current gig -- told us Wednesday, all the haters who suggest JB is way too old to give the White House another go need to look no further than what he's already done for the country.
According to Bass, his record speaks for itself ... and she's not sure what else he can do to convince people he's fit to extend his tenure.
Frankly, it's no surprise Bass is backing Biden -- that's the party line, and just about every Democrat will say the exact same thing with a camera in their face. Behind the scenes, however, many Dems are singing a different tune. The polls are ominous ... Trump's beating Biden and the President's approval rating has sunk to 39%.
The mayor's playing good good soldier for her party and President, and when we brought up the prospect of Gavin Newsom coming up to the plate ... she says she won't even talk about that until 5 years from now.
One last thing ... Bass says the alternative to Joe is Trump -- and she sees that as a non-starter, and more than enough reason to pull the lever for POTUS again next year.

La alcaldesa de L.A., Karen Bass Biden no es demasiado viejo para la presidencia

La edad de Joe Biden ha sido objeto del escrutinio conforme nos acercamos al 2024, pero una compañera demócrata va a batear a su favor... nada menos que la alcaldesa de Los Ángeles, Karen Bass.
La alcaldesa Bass -- quien sirvió en el Congreso antes de su actual puesto -- nos dijo el miércoles, todos los enemigos que sugieren que JB es demasiado viejo para volver a la Casa Blanca no tienen que mirar más allá de lo que ya ha hecho para este país.
De acuerdo con Bass, su registro habla por sí mismo... y no está segura de que más deba hacer para convencer a las personas de que está capacitado para extender su mandato.
Para ser francos, no es una sorpresa que Bass respalde a Biden -- esa es la línea del partido, y casi todos los demócratas dirán exactamente lo mismo con una cámara en su cara. Sin embargo, detrás de bambalinas, muchos demócratas cantan una melodía diferente. Las encuestas son ominosas... Trump está venciendo a Biden y el índice de aprobación del Presidente se ha desplomado hasta un 39%.
La alcaldesa está siendo un buen soldado de su partido y del Presidente, y cuando le planteamos la posibilidad de que Gavin Newsom se presente a las elecciones... ella dijo que ni siquiera hablará al respecto hasta dentro de 5 años.
Una última cosa... Bass comentó que la alternativa a Joe es Trump -- y ella ve eso como un fracaso, y una razón más que suficiente para tirar de la palanca para el Presidente de los Estados Unidos de nuevo el próximo año.
President Biden Heckled by Pro-Palestine Crowd ... During Nantucket Getaway
If President Biden thought he could escape the Israel-Palestine noise for the holiday weekend, he was wrong -- 'cause he was met with furious pro-Palestine protesters in New England, but didn't pay them any mind.
Joe was out and about with the rest of the First Family in Nantucket, MA Friday ... just a day after Thanksgiving, where he and the Biden gang were strolling around out in public -- with a crap ton of Secret Service agents all around.

There were some regular folks who stood by and said hi to POTUS ... but just across the street was a different reception to his presence -- namely, angry/rambunctious demonstrators.
Check out the video to see what exactly they were shouting from a distance -- it was a lot of the same stuff we've heard echoed in protests all over the country since this whole conflict kicked off anew ... claims of genocide, and calls to "Free Palestine."
Protestors at a Christmas tree lighting in Nantucket chant and accuse Biden of “genocide.” pic.twitter.com/qXmcoYvNgO
— Jeff Mason (@jeffmason1) November 24, 2023 @jeffmason1
These protests here in Nantucket seem to have dragged on well into the evening too ... but like we said, JB straight up ignored them and pretended like he didn't hear them at all.
Interestingly, Joe's catching heat from both sides right now -- not only are liberals on the left slamming him and his administration for being what they consider too easy on Israel amid their ground operation in Gaza ... but conservatives are pissed over the latest hostage news.
You might've heard ... about 25 hostages were released from Hamas control over the past 48 hours or so, but in that first batch -- none of those people were Americans, a handful of which were captured in the initial Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
There are reports of more hostages being released Saturday, but unclear if any of them are American at this point. And if they aren't, you can expect more outcry against Joe and co.
There's been a pause in the fighting for now ... something a lot of people have been calling for for weeks. The conflict is far from over though -- and there's sure to be more updates.

Presidente Biden Ardiente torta de cumpleaños Suscita memes y bromas!!!
El pastel de cumpleaños del presidente Joe Biden pareció estar en llamas esta semana mientras celebraba su cumpleaños número 81, lo que provocó una tonelada de bromas.
Joe estaba celebrando su cumpleaños el lunes y parece que su equipo decidió encender la fiesta con una tonelada de velas en un pastel bastante pequeño para el presidente de la nación, algo que el Comandante en Jefe pareció apreciar.
Como pueden ver, pareciera que el pastel está ardiendo y la gente no se pudo aguantar las ganas de esparcir memes por todo Internet, bromeando desde que la Casa Blanca está en riesgo de ser quemada hasta que ese es el estado del país bajo la mirada de Joe.
Por muy graciosas que fueran algunas de estas comparaciones varias de las cuales estaban inspiradas en famosos, de hecho, el propio Joe hizo una broma para rematar la situación, escribiendo: "Gracias a todos por los buenos deseos de cumpleaños. Resulta que en tu cumpleaños 146, ¡te quedas sin espacio para las velas!".
Es una forma interesante de aceptar su edad, es decir, con humor irónico, ya que el hecho de que el presidente sea una persona mayor ha sido objeto de un intenso escrutinio, especialmente a medida que se acerca 2024.
Joe Biden mistakes Taylor Swift for Britney Spears in turkey pardoning speech:

Por ejemplo, el otro día confundió a Taylor Swift con Britney Spears. Obviamente, no es un gran problema, ¡¡¡pero vamos, hombre!!!
Y, sin embargo, está tomando sus 81 años con calma, jugando con las bromas y críticas. El tiempo dirá si es una estrategia eficaz de cara a las próximas elecciones presidenciales. En este momento, sus números en las encuestas no andan bien.
En cualquier caso, feliz cumpleaños, presidente Biden. Que sigan llegando contenidos hilarantes, intencionados o no.
