DORIAN. White House pressed NOAA to repudiate weather forecasters who contradicted Trump’s claims on the hurricane’s path. ‘Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, told Wilbur Ross, the commerce secretary, to have the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration publicly disavow the forecasters’ position that Alabama was not at risk. NOAA, which is part of the Commerce Department, issued an unsigned statement last Friday in response, saying that the Birmingham, Ala., office was wrong to dispute the president’s warning.’

With the RuPaul‘s Drag Race franchise not-so-slowly expanding all over the world with spin-offs like Drag Race Thailand and Drag Race U.K., the bicoastal DragCon plus world tour after world tour for the show’s alums, it’s only fitting that the little drag show that could is getting its own Las Vegas residency.

RuPaul’s DragRace Live will kick off (we imagine with an impressive high-kick) at the Flamingo Hotel on the Vegas Strip beginning in January 2020 for an eight-month run, with five shows a week.

RuPaul made the Ruvelation during DragCon in New York over the weekend, saying: “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live is an immersive, interactive thrill-ride for everyone who loves to laugh, dance and sing-along when a fabulous drag queen shakes her padded ass on stage.”

The show will be directed by RuPaul and Jamal Sims, and promises to be “the most sickening eleganza extravaganza in Las Vegas herstory.”

Already confirmed as part of a rotating cast of queens (as in, not every queen will be in every show) are: Aquaria, Asia O’Hara, Coco Montrese, Derrick Barry, Eureka O’Hara, India Ferrah, Kahanna Montrese, Kameron Michaels, Kim Chi, Naomi Smalls, Shannel and Yvie Oddly.

Presale tickets are on sale now at rupaulsdragracelive.com.

Donald Trump’s Spiritual Advisor Dedicates White House as ‘Holy Ground…by the Superior Blood of Jesus’ — WATCH

Donald Trump’s Spiritual Advisor Dedicates White House as ‘Holy Ground…by the Superior Blood of Jesus’ — WATCH

Donald Trump’s closest spiritual advisor Paula White boasted to a crowd at Morris Cerullo’s church in California about what she does when she goes to the White House. The remarks were highlighted by Right Wing Watch.

Said White: “You better believe I’m praying. You better believe I’m up there singing the name of Jesus. You better believe I’m walking around those parameters saying, ‘I lift this up and I dedicate every ounce of this place as holy ground and I dedicate it by the superior blood of Jesus.’ And every door that God opens for me, I invoke the name of Jesus. I release angels right now and the Holy Spirit and walls of fire. I burn up every demonic altar in the name of Jesus and I call it to crumble and any assignment by any principality, power, darkness, and wickedness against this nation, against other nations, is coming down in the name of Jesus. Let it all fall down, let it crumble, by the fire of God, let it be burned right now. I erect the altar of God right now, I renounce every demonic spirit, I renounce every covenant made with Satan.”

Press play for the entire nutty tirade.
