King Charles took his first trip overseas since his cancer diagnosis. He, Queen Camilla, and Prince William traveled to Normandy in France to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-day at the United Kingdom Department of Defence and the Royal British Legion’s event.
Was A D-Day Turning Point That Helped Facilitate The End Of World War II
D-day was a turning point in history, as it helped to facilitate the defeat of the Nazis in World War II. US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were also in attendance. Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister of the UK, was also there.
Charles paid tribute to the soldiers during a brief speech,
“It’s a near impossible task to imagine the emotion of that day,”
Charles said of the veterans who landed on the coast of Normandy in the 1944 beach invasion.
“We are all eternally in their debt,”
His Majesty declared.

President Joe Biden marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day in a speech with a warning of current perils to democracy, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the risks of a fracturing of the NATO alliance.
Before dozens of surviving veterans, a number of them centenarians who traveled for the Normandy ceremony, Biden said, “We are not far off from the time, the last living voices of those who fought and bled on D-Day will no longer be with us. So we have a special obligation. We cannot let what happened here be lost in the silence of years to come.”
Among those in the crowd were Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, whose Saving Private Ryan and Band Of Brothers helped elevate the stories of D-Day — including the sacrifices and heroism of servicemen — to new generations.

In an interview on ABC’s The View, the first lady offered a glimpse into the administration’s campaign strategy and addressed concerns about the president’s age.
With emphasis on the high stakes of the election, Jill asserted, “This election is not about age. I mean, Donald Trump‘s going to be, what? 78? Joe’s 81. They’re basically the same age, right?

But while viewers lose sleep wondering whether Bobby’s latest brush with death will also be his last, Krause is staying positive, reminding TVLine that there’s an upside to Bobby landing in a coma: “There’s no pressure to remember my lines.

First Lady Jill Biden swatted away suggestions that President Joe Biden is too old for the job, saying on ABC’s The View today that her husband, at 81, is “about the same age” as the assumed challenger Donald Trump, who turns 78 in two weeks.
“This election is not about age,” she said, adding, “This is about character.”
“You have to believe [Trump],” she continued, “when he uses words like ‘dictator,’ ‘bloodbath,’ ‘third term,’ ‘violence.’ We’ve seen it, so when he says these words believe him, don’t think this isn’t going to happen.”
Asked about polls that put Trump ahead of Biden, the First Lady said, “Those polls are going to turn, I’m confident of it, because as time goes on and people start to focus a little bit more about what’s at stake and start to become educated on the issues and the differences between the two men,...

Former President Bill Clinton is debuting a new video today in which he reflects on the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, warning of the threat that toxic political discourse has on democracy.
The video is part of an “Explainer-in-Chief” series that Clinton is doing with Attn:, the Candle Media division that publishes content fusing entertainment and topical issues.
The bombing, which killed 168 people, took place 29 years ago today. “For every president there are certain days in your presidency you will never forget,” Clinton says in the video. “April 19, 1995, the day of the largest domestic terrorist attack in U.S. history is one of those days for me.”

“Where’s Melania” became a consistent question from the press for some months now; however, it looks like she’s allegedly had a change of heart where Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is concerned.
It seems that she’s now “all in” when it comes to his bid to once again become the next U.S. President, and according to one source, everyone will see her on the campaign trail a lot more.
A “Much Different” Melania Trump
Republican Party insiders revealed to Page Six that since the recent Florida fundraiser, a very different Melania Trump has arrived on the scene.
In fact, the inside source notes that Melania surfaced as the main star at the Republican fundraiser that took place at John Paulson’s $100-million Palm Beach house.
They note that her usual “serious” demeanor had vanished, and Melania seemingly never stopped smiling while being talkative and charming to all guests.

In fact, the inside source notes that Melania surfaced as the main star at the Republican fundraiser that took place at John Paulson’s $100-million Palm Beach house.
They note that her usual “serious” demeanor had vanished, and Melania seemingly never stopped smiling while being talkative and charming to all guests.

Sanchez held a sparkly clutch and wore a racy red gown that shined bright, with sleeves only on her upper arms. Bezos wore a classic tux look while holding hands with his date.
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden hosted the dinner for Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida as part of his official state visit.
Sanchez’s cleavage-baring dress sparked a huge debate online, with many calling it “inappropriate.” to wear to the White House.

On Friday, First Lady Jill Biden spoke to voters at the Human Rights Campaign’s “Equality in Action” event in Virginia. At the gathering, Jill claimed former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was a “bully.” The event highlighted advancements for the LGBTQ community during the Biden administration.
“Donald Trump is a bully. He is dangerous to the LGBTQ community, to our families, to our country, and we cannot let him win. We have to fight like hell. Today, tomorrow and all the days after. Until the polls close on November 5. Until Joe and Kamala have won another term. Until all the people in all the places can live freely surrounded by love.”
Jill also said outside forces were undoing “hard-fought gains” in the LGBTQ community, with states passing laws and bills that are “targeting this community” by limiting their rights.
“Yet there are forces outside these walls that...

In a Manhattan courtroom, a Florida woman was sentenced to one month in prison and three years of probation for her involvement in the illicit sale of President Joe Biden’s daughter’s diary to Project Veritas, a right-wing advocacy group, in 2020.
Aimee Harris, 41, was sentenced on Tuesday after she pled guilty to the theft of Ashley Biden’s personal belongings. Harris had moved into a residence in Delray Beach, Florida, where Ashley had previously lived and temporarily stored some of her possessions.
In collaboration with Robert Kurlander, Harris planned to sell the possessions to the highest bidder. They hatched a plan to arrange a sale at a Donald Trump fundraiser they both attended on September 6, 2020, to offer the items to the then-president’s campaign.

At a small White House event Tuesday between President Joe Biden and a group of Muslim American leaders, tensions were high and morale was low.
At one point, one of the six attendees showed Biden printed photos of malnourished Palestinian children, according to NBC News. The president said that he had seen the pictures before, but that was unlikely: The attendee, a doctor, said the photos were from her own phone.

Update: Protesters interrupted President Joe Biden’s conversation with his predecessors, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, a signature feature of the blockbuster fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall.
The disruption isn’t all that surprising, given that many of Biden’s events have seen hecklers calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. This time, according to a pool report, one of the protesters was yelling obscenities about a nuclear war with Russia. Other protesters interrupted over the situation in Gaza.
When one protester interrupted, Obama snapped back, “You can’t just talk and not listen… That’s what the other side does.”
Stephen Colbert, moderating the conversation, first asked what was at stake in the election.
“I think our democracy is at stake, no joke,” Biden said, adding that if “we get by this election,’ then “we’re in a position where we can set the course for the next four or five,...

Joe Biden’s New York fundraiser this evening with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton is expected to raise more than $25 million, an enormous haul for a one-evening event.
Biden’s reelection campaign has heavily promoted the Radio City Music Hall gathering, which will include musical performances by Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, Lizzo, Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele, among others.
Around 5,000 are expected to attend the event, while the campaign also has been raising smaller-dollar contributions via an online contest in which participants could win a trip to New York and a photo with the three presidents. Proceeds go to the Biden Victory Fund, a joint committee of the Biden Campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state parties. The fund accepts individual donations up to $929,600.

The Human Rights Campaign honored Jean Smart and Sterling K. Brown at its 2024 Los Angeles Dinner, held on Saturday night at the Fairmont Century Plaza and featuring a keynote speech by First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.
The night — which toasted those working for LGBTQ+ equality — kicked off with Biden’s speech following a short introduction from both First Daughter Ashley Biden and Hrc president Kelly Robinson. Early into the her address, the first lady was interrupted by protesters shouting, “Ceasefire now.” One person who was escorted out by security held up a sign that read, “Queer Jews Say Ceasefire Now.” Biden momentarily paused her speech, but didn’t directly address the protesters.
Biden spoke about her relationship with the president before jumping into issues the LGBTQ+ are currently facing. “This community is under attack,” Biden told the crowd. “Rights are being stripped away. Freedoms are eroding. More and more state laws are being passed,...

Though the Human Rights Campaign gala on Saturday night in Los Angeles contended with a brief interruption by protestors calling for a Gaza ceasefire, the annual stayed largely on course, serving as a rallying cry for Democratic candidates and the LGBTQ+ community.
In addition to the keynote speech from First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, Jean Smart and Sterling K. Brown were honored with the National Equality Award and the Ally for Equality Award, respectively.

First Lady Jill Biden’s keynote address at the Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles Saturday night was interrupted by protesters of the Israel-Hamas war.
Just as Biden took to the stage at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel and began speaking, a handful of people stood up from their seats and started shouting, “Ceasefire Now.” One person also held up a sign that read, “Queer Jews Say Ceasefire Now.”
Security officials quickly ushered them out of the ballroom as they continued to yell. Other guests in the room also started to counter-chant, “Four more years,” in reference to President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.
While Biden paused her speech during the incident, she didn’t directly address the protesters and just resumed once they left the room.

Kate Middleton stunned everyone with her recent cancer admission, with many thousands sending their well-wishes to her, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Kate revealed that cancer was found after her planned abdominal surgery, and she is now undergoing preventative cancer treatments.
This preventative treatment is chemotherapy, but the Independent reports it isn’t an “official NHS term for a type of treatment.” Kate hasn’t revealed any other details about it.
Kate may have waited to reveal her diagnosis to the world because her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are now on holiday from school and can process the news peacefully.
Everyone is sending their best wishes to Kate, including her father-in-law, King Charles. The Guardian reports that King Charles is “so proud of Catherine (the Princess of Wales) for her courage in speaking as she did.”
