Trump: North Korea ‘Will Be Met with Fire and Fury Like the World Has Never Seen’ – WATCH
Donald Trump threatened North Korea during a roundtable at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club.
Said Trump:
“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening – beyond a normal statement – and as I said they will be met with fire, fury and frankly power the likes of which the world has never seen before.”
The statement came following two tweets earlier in the day from Trump regarding North Korea.
The first tweet (a retweet) shared a report on North Korea cruise missiles from FOX & Friends citing anonymous sources in the intelligence community which contained classified information, according to UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
The second read: “After many years of failure,countries are coming together to finally address the dangers posed by North Korea. We must be tough & decisive!”

RIP. Broadway legend Barbara Book dies at 89.
CLIMATE CHANGE. It’s here, and its real: “The average temperature in the United States has risen rapidly and drastically since 1980, and recent decades have been the warmest of the past 1,500 years, according to a sweeping federal climate change report awaiting approval by the Trump administration. The draft report by scientists from 13 federal agencies, which has not yet been made public, concludes that Americans are feeling the effects of climate change right now.”
NO ORIGINAL IDEAS? NBC plotting remakes of The Office, 30 Rock, ER and The West Wing.
NATURE MOMENT. ‘Pink rainbow’ spotted in England.
HUH? U.S. considering airstrikes against ISIS in Philippines.
CYNTHIA NIXON. She won’t deny a run for New York governor.
TEXAS. Anti-transgender bathroom bill falters. “Social conservatives and the state’s powerful lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, have backed the effort. Gay rights groups, business groups and the House speaker, Joe Straus, one of the few powerful moderate voices in the Texas Legislature, have opposed it. But after the State Senate, where Mr. Patrick presides, passed a bill, a narrower one is showing few signs of life in the 150-member House.”
MARWAN KENZARI. The live-action Aladdin remake has a hot new Jafar.
JIM BAKKER. End Times prepper invited to the White House: ‘Bakker revealed on his program today that he and his wife Lori were in the White House on the day that Anthony Scaramucci was fired from his short stint as White House communications director, noting that it was not a coincidence that Scaramucci was let go at the moment when George O. Wood, who heads the General Council of the Assemblies of God, spoke out against “unnecessary swearing” during a meeting with White House staff.’
CLUB CUMMING. Alan Cumming’s new nightlife spot is about to open in NYC’s East Village: “Cumming announced plans to open a cabaret club—he’s experienced in this type of performance; his Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs cabaret show debuted in 2015—back in April, but at that point, Eastern Bloc’s closing date was still up in the air. However, the East Village news blog EV Grieve announced today that Eastern Bloc would officially be shuttering on August 6th after 12 years in the neighborhood.
THE GANGWAY. San Francisco’s oldest gay bar sold: “Based on a pending liquor license transfer, the Tenderloin gay bar — which opened in 1910 and began publicly identifying as a gay bar in 1961 — is in the process of being sold to Sam Young, the man behind the quirky and sometimes controversial bar Kozy Kar several blocks away.”
DEREK HOUGH. You’d be shirtless all the time too looking like this.
TFW. Something is watching you.
THE VOICE. Adam Levine chose Joe Jonas because he’s a beautiful man.
TOO HOT TUESDAY. Kenromil.

With Kayleigh McEnany as RNC Spox, Trumpism Advances within the GOP
With Kayleigh McEnany as RNC Spox, Trumpism Advances within the GOP
The RNC extends Trump’s agenda by continuing to stack the GOP with anti-LGBTQ activists
NEW YORK – GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, today released the following background information on Kayleigh McEnany after the Republican National Committee (RNC) named her as their new national spokesperson. McEnany, who served as a surrogate on the Trump Campaign, appeared in a widely discredited video over the weekend on last month’s jobs report. Also, she has previously dismissed reports of LGBTQ discrimination as “farcical blabber” and used her past platform on CNN to push dangerous and inflammatory myths about the transgender community.
With this appointment, the RNC is now giving a platform to one of the staunchest supporters of President Trump and his administration’s work to erase LGBTQ Americans from the fabric of this nation. This includes appointing the most anti-LGBTQ administration in recent memory, deleting any mention of “LGBTQ” from government websites, and announcing a ban on the transgender Americans from serving “in any capacity” within the U.S. military.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Kayleigh McEnany’s Anti-LGBTQ Record
- Dismissed claims of marriage discrimination prior the Supreme Court’s marriage ruling as nothing more than “farcical blabber.”
- Claimed that the Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality is a threat to “religious rights.”
- Argued against transgender bathroom access in accordance to gender identity on the basis that “that this could be utilized by some men, for instance, to go into female bathrooms, it’s happened at Target, which does have the same policy in place. Voyeurism issues where cameras were put by men taking advantage of the policies, not transgender individuals, men, straight men coming in and really being a predator against women.”
- Used another CNN appearance to frame transgender bathroom access as a threat to women and little girls.
- Dismissed openly gay CNN anchor Don Lemon’s concerns about Mike Pence’s anti-LGBTQ views by saying “Mike Pence loves all people.” (Video starts at 2:00.)
- Said it was “awesome” that late Justice Antonin Scalia criticized a pro-marriage equality ruling.
- Called modern feminism an “embarrassment,” suggesting that “the feminists of today reduce women to their sexuality, and in doing so, set women’s rights back by huge strides.”
- Disputed that having women in active combat is nothing more than the “radical agenda” of feminists; in the same post, she criticized “award shows, where Hollywood was trying to ban gender-based awards.”
