The White House Now Has Its Own News Website—And People Are Calling It Out For What It Is
May 02, 2025
Critics called out the Trump administration for running its own propaganda network after the White House publicized "White House Wire," its own news website that features news articles from conservative news outlets like the Daily Caller and Fox News.
The White House Wire (WHWIRE) primarily features positive coverage of the president and administration, with stories mainly sourced from conservative outlets and contributions from government staffers. One early headline, "100 Days Of Hoaxes: Cutting Through The Fake News," was notable but did not include a direct link to a story.
The website resembles the Drudge Report, a well-known political site that functions as a bulletin board for links. While the Drudge Report was initially a conservative-friendly platform, famous for breaking the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal in the 1990s, it has become critical of Trump in recent years.
Nonetheless, the administration bragged that the White House "has its own wire now" in a post via its official X account.
When questioned about the website, a White House official explained that there's a method behind the administration's madness:
“It’s a place for supporters of the president’s agenda to get the real news all in one place in a shareable and readable format. The website will be a one-stop shop for news and is part of the Trump administration’s effort to provide transparency and institute policies that put America first.”
But others have called out the White House for launching what they say amounts to little more than a propaganda arm.
The development follows a press briefing held by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who addressed what she referred to as the “new media,” stating that she was honoring a commitment made at the start of the Trump administration to engage with “all media outlets.”
However, as she acknowledged at the beginning of Monday’s briefing—which she referred to as the "influencer briefing"—these sessions largely serve to allow softball questions and applause lines from MAGA loyalists eager to play reporter in the White House.
True to her approach with the “new media” seat in standard White House briefings, which has been filled predominantly by right-wing figures, Leavitt filled the influencer room with Trump-friendly provocateurs and YouTubers.

People Reveal The Pettiest Reason They Stopped Sleeping With Someone
May 02, 2025
Some sexual encounters you remember for life for the wrong reason.
That's why people should come with warning labels.
It's ok to have to be taught a bit or learn a little more.
But most of the people who need the lessons seem to be the most oblivious.
That's why I've given up and embraced celibacy.
Mama is too tired to teach.
Redditor XposeLLC wanted to hear about the times people had to end sexy time with a certain partner, so they asked:
"What’s the pettiest reason you stopped sleeping with someone?"
RUDE!
"She would enter the metro before the people got out."
- IloveponiesbutnotMLP
"Just like people who enter the elevator before letting others out."

Yuckie!
"I didn't like the smell of her hairspray. In fairness, this was in the late '80s when hairspray ruled the world."
- yakfsh1
"Oh man, I totally get this! I was a kid at the time, but I remember sometimes I’d be near a teenage girl (at the mall, or a girl who lived on my street) who would be very attractive but had this TOXIC hairspray smell that actually irritated my nose/sinuses. I was really young, so I just assumed it was a normal 'girls are yukie' thing, but reading your comment was like a time warp for me!"

Bless your heart...
"He was VERY dumb, and it gave me a guilty conscience. It was almost like I was taking advantage of him or something. I wasn’t, he was just THAT stupid."
- Barfignugen
"Not sleeping with, but I started to date this dude over the summer, and when he visited, we made out a lot and then I realized holy crap this feels wrong. It almost felt like I was taking advantage of him. I’m 18, and he was 20, but I swear he was not a day over 14 in his mannerisms and just everything. It was awful."

"Her breath. I can deal with normal bad breath. This was not normal bad breath. It almost seemed like a reaction to something, like she was taking a new medicine or something, and horrific breath was a side effect. I could see in her mouth while she was talking one night, and I swear the back of her tongue was green."

Crickets
"Gave the worst bridesmaid speech in the world, never looked at her the same way again. Well..she pulled the folded up paper with the speech out of her bra, spent the first half roasting the bride, revealed that when the bride met the groom she said 'Oh no way would I ever marry him,' proceeded to lead into saying the bride was never choosy about the people the she slept with anyways, then tried to make a bunch of bad jokes to save the day, none of which hit."
"Quite literally crickets the entire speech. Bride didn’t smile once, then proceeded to wipe tears away by the end. Then I had to pretend things were all good the rest of the night - was just hoping the whole place would set on fire during the speech so I could run out."
- sexualpeelin
Shut Up!
"When we were having sex anytime she started to feel good she didn't moan. Instead she did this yell that would rise a little then start to crack. It sounded painful and was very grating on the ears. Not to mention she sounded hella distressed like she was being murdered. Couldn't keep it up."
- Master_Thief_789
Clean-up, Aisle 2
"She kept leaving half-drunk cups of coffee around my house."
- Euphoric_Surprise776
"My wife does this."
"I keep falling for it too, stupidly assuming that all of the dirty dishes are located around the kitchen so I fill the dishwasher and turn it on. Then I see a cup in the living room, one in the bedroom, one on the outside table, sometimes one just sitting on the ground in the garden."
"But if that's the worst thing I've got going on in my life then I ain't got no problems."
- BatmansShoelaces
MOVES
"When we hooked up, his 'moves' were comparable to a Chihuahua. Just, short, quick, rapid movements while holding on for dear life."
"Haven't experienced this during sex before, but in a similar vein with kissing. I met a guy at a club and was dancing with him. The conversation was great and I gave my friend the 'thumbs up,' but then he kissed me... It was like a snake tongue darting in and out of my mouth in rapid succession. My thumbs up behind his back immediately became a thumbs down, and my friend quickly snatched me away, LOL."
- tacoslave420
The Rules
"I knew he played Sudoku, which is honestly a plus, but then I learned he didn’t understand it. He would just fill in random numbers and 'try to make it work.' When I tried to explain the rules, he said it was too complicated and he preferred his own way of playing."
- DaintyBadass
"This cracked me up. It’s like on one hand, he was having fun but on the other… Imagine playing a game where it’s like accepted that there’s a less than 1% chance of you solving it and just being ~fine~ with that."
- jady115
Puff Away
"She kept telling me how everything happening in her life was because she was a Hufflepuff."
- Nibblefritz
"I think my stepdad thinks every Harry Potter fan is like this, treating the houses like zodiac signs. My fiancée is a Hufflepuff but doesn't frame her life around it, of course."

"Happened to a friend of mine, she was dating a guy for a couple of months, 30s still living at home, parents were older but were independent. A sister close to his age also lived at home."
"He would come over to her place, have sex but would never sleep over. Was kind or serious, and introduced her to his parents."
"Leading up to Christmas/New Years, she wanted to make plans to go away for New Years, he said ok."
"But he stalled booking, they ended up having a fight, and he finally confessed he could never go away with her because he could never leave his parents, not even overnight."

- PurinMeow
"I try to stay cool when a woman doesn't want fries or whatever and starts eating mine, but I'm absolutely fuming on the inside. It's always me paying. I've offered to get you anything you want, but what you want is on my plate. Grrrr.

Oh Gosh!
"I had a huge crush on him for years. He was gorgeous and pretty shy. Tall and thin with beautiful long hair. He even did some modeling. Well, I finally got to sleep with him, but when he finished, he said, 'Oh gosh,' in a voice that sounded just like Mickey Mouse. I could tell it was involuntary, and it just killed that crush I had on him. The sex was pretty bad, too, but I was trying to convince myself I could work around that and teach him. But the 'oh gosh' was the final nail."

Trump Suggests Kids Will Just Have To Deal With Having A Lot Fewer Toys Due To His Tariffs
May 01, 2025
President Donald Trump was criticized for his response to concerns about empty store shelves due to his tariffs, suggesting that children will just have to settle for "two dolls instead of 30," and that those dolls might cost more than they used to.
U.S. businesses are already canceling orders from China and delaying expansion plans as they brace for the fallout from Trump’s trade policies.
In recent weeks, Trump has disrupted the global economy by imposing steep import taxes—often announcing them abruptly, then modifying or suspending them just as suddenly. While most countries face a 10% tariff, China has been hit with a staggering 145% rate, despite being one of America's largest trading partners, with nearly $439 billion in goods imported from China in 2024.
The new tariffs are expected to trigger major shortages for both businesses and consumers. Online retailers like Temu have already responded with price increases and now show “import charges” at checkout, highlighting the tariff impact—sometimes doubling the original cost of an item.
This means many will have to go without—not that that bothers Trump, who told reporters:
"I told you before they're [China] having tremendous difficulty because their factories are not doing business. They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need."
"Somebody said, 'Oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally."
"They have ships loaded up with stuff, much of it, not all of it, but much of it we don't need."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
He was swiftly called out for his remarks.
The sharp drop in goods coming from China—one of America’s largest trading partners—hasn’t hit most U.S. consumers yet, but that’s expected to change soon.
By mid-May, thousands of businesses will need to restock, and major retailers like Walmart and Target have warned Trump that customers could soon face empty shelves and rising prices. Torsten Slok, chief economist at Apollo Management, has cautioned that the U.S. could face “COVID-like” shortages and widespread layoffs across sectors such as trucking, logistics, and retail.
Although Trump has recently signaled some flexibility on tariffs, experts say it may be too late to prevent a supply shock that could ripple through the economy into the holiday season.
Even if tensions ease, restarting transpacific trade carries its own risks: the freight industry has downsized to reflect lower demand, so a sudden surge in orders could overwhelm shipping networks, leading to costly delays—much like the chaos seen during the pandemic when container prices soared and ports were clogged with cargo ships.

AOC Gives GOP A Blunt Reminder After They Promise Not To Make Cuts To Medicaid
May 01, 2025
Every election cycle since at least the 1980s, Republicans vow to not cut Social Security and Medicaid benefits. Then once elected, they try to cut Social Security and Medicaid.
For some reason, supporters of the GOP are shocked every time it happens.
Endeavoring to once again educate the electorate, New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez( AOC) pointed out Republicans' penchant for breaking promises during a meeting to discuss the budget by the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
You can see her remarks here:
@aocinthehouse Republicans are making empty promises that Medicaid won't be touched —then turning around and trying to cut $880B from Medicaid recipients across the country. They're saying "take our word." I say show us the bill. I introduced an amendment to expose the devastating impact these “non-cuts” would have.
Highlighting Republican promises already broken, Representative Ocasio-Cortez said:
"We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected—that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this."
"But as a woman, the word was given to me that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court—and that wasn’t true."
"As an American, the word was given that our First Amendment protections would be in place for everyone, including green-card holders and people who are lawfully here in this country. That didn’t end up to be true."
AOC—as she's come to be called since being elected to Congress in 2019—addressed her committee colleagues and members of the gallery over the GOP's refusal to add an amendment to their budget proposal which includes $880 billion in cuts to the Medicaid budget.
They claim their funding cuts are all going to involve the undefined, undisclosed "waste" identified by Elon Musk's Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE), so benefits won't be touched. But AOC declared she's heard that song before.
She said:
"We have not heard a single concrete number of the amount of waste and abuse that has been identified. There’s kind of this vague magic wand around waste."
She then referred to comments made by Musk and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about government waste.
She added:
"What’s being suggested is that … people seeing the doctor is a waste."
Republicans pointed to prior oversight plans, but AOC countered:
"DOGE did not exist two years ago. 19-year-olds were not raiding the Treasury two years ago. Elon Musk is not a scientist. He is not an engineer."
"He is a billionaire conman with a lot of money. … These are peoples’ lives that are on the line and we cannot laugh them away."
People agreed with her distrust of Republican promises.

Trump Called Out Using His Own Past Tweet After He Tried To Blame The Economy On Biden
May 01, 2025
After President Donald Trump declared that former President Joe Biden is to blame for for current stock market performance—saying "this is Biden's stock market, not Trump's" in a rant on Truth Social—people quickly fact-checked him for previously taking credit for the stock market when Biden was in office.
A preliminary estimate shows the U.S. economy contracted by 0.3% in the first quarter of Trump’s second term, a sharp contrast to the 2.4% GDP growth recorded during Joe Biden’s final quarter in office.
Economists warn the decline could signal a looming recession, especially as Trump presses forward with aggressive tariffs that risk driving up prices, stalling growth, and increasing unemployment. Despite the downturn occurring under his leadership, Trump declined to accept even "one tiny, itsy-bitsy" bit of responsibility in a post on Truth Social ahead of the market’s open.
He wrote:
"This is Biden's Stock Market, not Trump's. I didn't take over until January 20th. Tariffs will soon start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers. Our Country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden 'Overhang.'"
"This will take a while, has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS, only that he left us with bad numbers, but when the boom begins it will be like no other. BE PATIENT!!!"
But compare those words to what Trump wrote in January 2024, when Biden was very much in office:
"THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN, AND THAT WILL DRIVE THE MARKET UP – EVERYTHING ELSE IS TERRIBLE (WATCH THE MIDDLE EAST!), AND RECORD SETTING INFLATION HAS ALREADY TAKEN ITS TOLL."
"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
You can see Trump's posts below.
@realDonaldTrump/Truth Social
Trump was defensive when questioned by a reporter about not taking credit for the stock market now that it is "not doing so well":
"I'm not taking credit or discredit for the stock market, I'm just saying that we inherited a mess both at the borders and you can look at any one of the people here and no matter who it is they're doing better and are far superior to what took place for four years before us."
"When you look at prisoners being allowed to come into our country at will, people from mental institutions, gang members, drug dealers. ... When you look at that and also what happened with finance, what happened with inflation, we've had the worst inflation probably in the history of our country."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Many have called out Trump in response.
When Biden was in office, Trump infamously said he hoped the stock market would crash "in the next 12 months" because he doesn't want "to be Herbert Hoover," aiming to distance himself from the responsibility of managing a troubled economy:
"When does it crash? I hope it's gonna be during these next 12 months because I don't wanna be Herbert Hoover. The one president I just don’t want to be, Herbert Hoover.”
Trump stands as the sole modern president who, upon concluding his first term, oversaw a decrease in U.S. jobs compared to the start of his presidency.
The global COVID-19 pandemic, which Trump belatedly acknowledged and frequently downplayed or denied during its progression, wreaked havoc on the U.S. economy in his final year in office. The robust job market he anticipated to secure him a second term was obliterated.
In January 2021, just before the conclusion of Trump's term, the Labor Department disclosed that total U.S. employment had plummeted by 140,000 in December, resulting in a total of 142.6 million jobs—approximately 10 million fewer than pre-pandemic levels.
Trump's macabre hopes for the stock market had earlier triggered a strong response from Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, who condemned his comments as "insensitive and grotesque" and expressed disbelief at Trump's apparent lack of understanding of the impact such a crash would have on American working families.
