  • China Becoming a ‘Tremendous Threat’ in Space

    China Becoming a ‘Tremendous Threat’ in Space

    The US Space Force is calling out China as a “tremendous threat” in space, saying the country is advancing rapidly.

    US Space Force became the sixth branch of the US military in late 2019, tasked with protecting US interests in space. US Space Force vice chief of space operations, Gen. David Thompson, said the US is still the leader in space, but China is rapidly catching up.

    “China is a tremendous threat…I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion they will be the leader in space at the end of the decade, but they’re on an incredible pace,” Gen. Thompson told Chris Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday.

    “We are still the best in the world in space. Our capabilities are the best in the world of space, but they’re moving aggressively, they’re moving quickly and we need to adapt our approach.”

    The US and China are already competing on multiple fronts, and have engaged in a years-long, costly trade war. It appears space is set to be the next battleground of their rivalry.

  • Megyn Kelly: Donald Trump Doesn’t Want Her Moderating Upcoming Republican Presidential Debate

    Megyn Kelly of Fox’s The Kelly File is set to moderate the upcoming Republican presidential debate alongside Chris Wallace and Bret Baier on January 28 in Iowa.

    Donald Trump is not in favor of this. He tweeted out his opposition to Megyn Kelly’s place as one of the moderators earlier on Saturday–just a couple of hours ago.

    Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly have been at odds with one another since August when Megyn Kelly confronted Trump about comments he’d made against women in the past–calling them “fat pigs” and “slobs.”

    Not long afterward, during a conversation with Don Lemon on CNN, Donald Trump said Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes” and “blood coming out of her whatever” which no doubt insinuated he was referring to her menstrual cycle.

    Following his continued bashing of Megyn Kelly, Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes came to her defense, calling Donald Trump’s actions “unacceptable.”

    Trump later said only a “deviant” would think he was talking about Megyn Kelly’s menstrual cycle. Even though he has toned down his talk to and regarding Kelly a bit, he still gets in digs whenever and wherever he can, and retweets anyone who talks negatively about Megyn Kelly or her show.

    Clearly Donald Trump fears Megyn Kelly to some degree or he wouldn’t have a problem with her serving as one of the moderators for next Thursday night’s debate.

    What do you think Donald Trump fears Megyn Kelly will ask that already has him on the defensive?

  • Kelly Clarkson Ridiculed For Weight Gain, Chris Wallace Apologizes

    Kelly Clarkson received an apology from Fox News anchor Chris Wallace after he body shamed her on talk radio.

    The 67-year-old news anchor was on Mike Gallagher’s radio show on Friday and a discussion on pizza led to the two men poking fun at Clarkson’s weight.

    At first, Gallagher jokingly called Wallace out about fat shaming. “Don’t fat shame me. You do a lot of fat shaming,” the radio host warned before inexplicably moving on to Clarkson.

    “Have you seen Kelly Clarkson? You know the singer, Kelly Clarkson? Holy cow, did she blow up,” said Gallagher.

    Wallace didn’t react at first and even mentioned that the first American Idol had a lovely singing voice, something that the radio host agreed with. But the veteran news anchor later came back to the topic and said “She could stay off the deep-dish pizza for a little while.”

    The comments didn’t escape the ire of listeners, with a lot of them going on social media to criticize the fat shaming. Even Wallace’s Fox News colleague Greta Van Susteren denounced the comments and demanded that he apologize, which he did.

    “I sincerely apologize to Kelly Clarkson for my offensive comment,” the Fox News Sunday host said in a statement. “I admire her remarkable talent and that should have been the focus of any discussion about her.”

    Mike Gallagher also posted his own apology on his personal website. Mocking his own weight issues, the radio host posted that “Tubby Mike is the last person in the world who should bring up anyone’s weight” before adding “I couldn’t possibly feel any worse than I do for making an observation that led to the conclusion that I ‘fat-shamed’ this talented and classy entertainer.”

    “It was a really stupid thing for me to do,” Gallagher confessed.

    Clarkson hasn’t commented yet on the apology.

  • Greta Van Susteren Calls Out Colleague Chris Wallace on His Jab at Kelly Clarkson’s Weight

    Greta Van Susteren, a longtime anchor for Fox news, has no problem calling out her colleague Chris Wallace after he made a rude comment about Kelly Clarkson’s weight.

    On Friday, Van Susteren shared her disgust over Chris Wallace’s comment that singer Kelly Clarkson “could stay off the deep dish pizza.”

    Greta Van Susteren, who hosts On the Record, not only called him out on the faux pas, she practically demanded that he apologize to Clarkson.

    It was on an appearance on Mike Gallagher’s show that the Fox News Sunday host said Clarkson “could stay off the deep dish pizza,” among other things, which Van Susteren thinks is deplorable and should not be tolerated.

    “Have you seen Kelly Clarkson? You know the singer, Kelly Clarkson?” Gallagher asked Wallace. “Holy cow, did she blow up.”

    “At first, it seemed that [Chris] Wallace was going to avoid joining in on this bizarre line of questioning, saying he thinks Clarkson has ‘got a lovely voice.’ But then, he let this comment slip: ‘She could stay off the deep dish pizza for a little while,’” wrote Greta Van Susteren on her blog.

    Kelly Clarkson‘s weight has long been the subject of scrutiny by the media and the public. The pop singer discussed the hurt it causes with Ellen Degeneres on her show Friday.

    “I think what hurts my feelings for people is that I’ll have a meet-and-greet after the show and a girl who’s like bigger than me will be in the meet-and-greet and be like, ‘Wow, if they think you’re big I must be so fat to them.’ And it’s like, you’re just who you are,” said Kelly Clarkson.

    Van Susteren voiced what many are thinking.

    “This ‘guy snickering’ about her weight is obnoxious,” Greta Van Susteren continued. “He should apologize.”

  • Chris Wallace: Fox Anchor Fat Shames Kelly Clarkson, Should Apologize

    Chris Wallace owes Kelly Clarkson a big apology. The Fox News Sunday anchor made a very derogatory comment about the singer during a radio interview on Friday, and now many people are outraged by his rude behavior.

    It was on The Mike Gallagher Show that Mike Wallace got carried away with his mouth. He and the host began dishing on Little Caesar’s bacon-wrapped pizza when the conversation spiraled. Neither of the men behaved in a gentlemanly manner.

    “Have you seen Kelly Clarkson? You know the singer, Kelly Clarkson? Holy cow, did she blow up,” Mike Gallagher said, steering the conversation in an unacceptable direction.

    “Really? Do we want to talk about some of your friends? Kelly Clarkson’s got a lovely voice,” Chris Wallace said.

    And then he got in on the diss.

    “She could stay off the deep dish pizza for a little while,” he said.

    This isn’t the first time Kelly Clarkson has been dissed for her weight since giving birth to daughter River Rose Blackstock back in June. It was about a month ago when British TV personality Katie Hopkins very cruelly said Clarkson looked like she had eaten her backup singers.

    It was while she was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that Kelly Clarkson spoke out about the hurtful comment–the first one.

    “I love that people think [the topic] is new. Like, welcome to the past 13 years,” she said. “I yo-yo. Sometimes I’m more fit and I get into kickboxing and hardcore, and then sometimes I don’t and go, ‘Nope, I’d rather have wine!’”

    Do you think Kelly Clarkson will respond to Chris Wallace and Mike Gallagher’s unkind remarks as well, or does she figure they’re not worth the effort it requires to comment?

    What’s your take on Chris Wallace’s remark? Being a Fox anchor, he surely knows better.

    Do you agree he owes Kelly Clarkson an apology?
