Newsom rebukes ‘deranged’ Hegseth over threat to deploy Marines to Los Angeles

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was acting “deranged” over his threat to deploy active-duty Marines to the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

“The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens,” Newsom wrote on X. “This is deranged behavior.”

Newsom was responding to
Hegseth’s post
on Saturday, in which the defense secretary wrote that the Pentagon is mobilizing the National Guard to respond to anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles and warned that active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton may also be deployed “if violence continues.”

“Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated. It’s COMMON SENSE,” Hegseth wrote. “The @DeptofDefense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.”

Sen. Alex Padilla says Trump ‘sowing more chaos and division’ by deploying National Guard in LA

U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., said President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles to respond to anti-ICE protests was “completely inappropriate and misguided.”

“Using the National Guard this way is a completely inappropriate and misguided mission,” Padilla wrote on X.

“The Trump Administration is just sowing more chaos and division in our communities,” he continued.

This comes after the Trump administration took over the California National Guard and deployed 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles.

Trump thanks National Guard for response in LA, says masks will not be allowed at protests

President Donald Trump on Sunday morning thanked the National Guard “for a job well done” in responding to anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles, California, and said masks will not be allowed at protests.

Trump took jabs at California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, both Democrats, as he gave high praise to the National Guard.

“Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED,” he continued. “Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!”

Newsom says Trump admin taking over National Guard for a ‘spectacle,’ prompting White House response

California Gov. Gavin Newsom
, a Democrat, said Saturday that the Trump administration is taking over the state’s National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles because it wants a “spectacle,” leading the White House to shoot back that the governor has done “nothing” to stop the violence at the anti-ICE protests.

“The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle,” Newsom wrote on X. “Don’t give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded that Newsom has “done nothing to stop this violence” and “should be thanking President Trump for bringing law and order to California.”

“Illegal criminal aliens and violent mobs have been committing arson, throwing rocks at vehicles, and attacking federal law enforcement for days,” she wrote. “Gavin Newsom has done nothing to stop this violence.”

“He should be thanking President Trump for bringing law and order to California — a basic value that Newsom and his fellow Democrats have failed to uphold,” she added.

Hegseth says DOD mobilizing National Guard, active duty Marines ‘on high alert’

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Saturday that the Pentagon is mobilizing the National Guard to respond to anti-ICE protests in California
and warned that active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton may be deployed as well “if violence continues.”

“The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK,” Hegseth wrote on X.

The secretary said that under the Trump administration, violence and destruction against federal agents and federal facilities “will NOT be tolerated,” adding: “It’s COMMON SENSE.”

“The @DeptofDefense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles,” he wrote. “And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.”

Patel promises FBI coming for anyone assaulting cops as Los Angeles erupts over ICE raids

Following violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles on Saturday night, FBI Director Kash Patel warned “if you assault a law enforcement officer, you’re going to jail—period.”

“It doesn’t matter where you came from, how you got here, or what cause you claim to represent,” Patel told Fox News Digital. “If local jurisdictions won’t stand behind the men and women who wear the badge, the FBI will.”

President Donald Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to Paramount, California after immigration authorities driving in the area were pelted with rocks, stones, and concrete — shattering government vehicle windshields.

“Doesn’t matter where you came from, how you got here, or what movement speaks to you. If the local police force won’t back our men and women on the thin blue line, we @FBI will,” Patel wrote on X.

LA mayor Bass says ‘violence and destruction are unacceptable’ amid anti-ICE protests

Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass said Saturday that violence and destruction are “unacceptable” and that anyone responsible will be held accountable, as protests continue against immigration authorities conducting raids at businesses in Southern California.

“This is a difficult time for our city,” Bass wrote on X. “As we recover from an unprecedented natural disaster, many in our community are feeling fear following recent federal immigration enforcement actions across Los Angeles County.”

“Reports of unrest outside the city, including in Paramount, are deeply concerning,” she continued. “We’ve been in direct contact with officials in Washington, D.C., and are working closely with law enforcement to find the best path forward.”

“Everyone has the right to peacefully protest, but let me be clear: violence and destruction are unacceptable, and those responsible will be held accountable,” the mayor added.

National Guard to be deployed in Los Angeles County as anti-ICE protests rage: border czar Tom Homan

The National Guard will be deployed to Los Angeles County after anti-ICE protests
continued to escalate Saturday afternoon, Trump administration border czar Tom Homan told Fox News Saturday.

On Saturday, tear gas was deployed near Home Depot in Paramount, California, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were allegedly conducting a raid.

Following the raid, a violent protest broke out and several arrests were made for assault on a federal agent, according to U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael W. Banks.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to call out state and local leadership’s inaction.

“If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!” Trump wrote.

Newsom responded on X, claiming the federal government “is moving to take over the California National Guard” and deploy 2,000 soldiers.

“That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,” Newsom wrote. “LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need. The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.”

Famed filmmaker exposes Democratic Party lies after dramatic political shift

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

One famed filmmaker and playwright spoke to Fox News about his transformation from a “brain-dead liberal” to his journey into constitutional conservatism.

Film director and playwright David Mamet, known for writing the stage play “Glengarry Glen Ross” and its film adaptation, opened up about his political values during a Thursday interview on the “Brian Kilmeade Show.”

BIDEN FUNDRAISER CALLS TRUMP A ‘F—ING GENIUS’ AS DEMOCRATS WONDER IF THEIR BRAND IS BROKEN

Mamet discussed how he got “kicked out of the left” about 25 years ago and what led him to discover his right-leaning values. He noted his past comments referring to himself as a “brain-dead liberal” and urging for political civility in an article he wrote, resulting in many of his leftist peers losing contact with him.

“I didn’t know any Republicans, so I didn’t understand what conservatism was,” he said. “Then I got kicked out of the left, and I started researching what the constitutional conservatism was about, and I got very, very interested and very excited about it — here I am now.”

BILLY JOEL OPENS UP ABOUT AFFAIR THAT LED TO TWO SUICIDE ATTEMPTS

Mamet noted that he became disillusioned with the Democratic Party and its values, explaining how he thought that the party did not best represent American workers and had become the “party of the elites.” 

“I discovered my conservative beliefs because I discovered everything I thought and believed about the Democratic Party was false,” he said. 

Amid a tumultuous period in American politics, Mamet expressed optimism about the future following President Donald Trump‘s election victory in November 2024. 

“America is self-correcting again, as we saw in the election,” Mamet said.  “And the red states are thriving.” 

Referring to his vast theater experience, Mamet also touched upon the media and entertainment’s focus on “social consciousness.” 

TRUMP’S PARDON OF CHRISLEYS PRAISED BY JOE GIUDICE AS ‘THE ONLY WAY’ AFTER ‘HARSH’ PRISON SENTENCES

“Black people are people too, gay people are people too, but the problem with that is, everybody knows that,” he said. “So we don’t want to come to a theater or a movie to get lectured to, right? Our wives will do that — so in order to keep their place, the idea of a meritocracy crumbled in the media, so the awards and safety, or the illusion… was awarded to those who could scream the loudest.”

Mamet released his book “The Disenlightenment: Politics, Horror, and Entertainment” on June 3, which details his musings about politics and culture. 

Bombshell Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial testimony drops Hollywood A-list names

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Explosive testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial featured a few A-list names during the fourth week.

Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio and Beyoncé are a few of the celebrities who came up as the prosecution witnesses continued to take the stand and testify against the rapper in his sex trafficking and racketeering case.

Diddy’s trial began May 12 with opening statements. Throughout the fourth week of testimony, the jury heard from the disgraced music mogul’s ex-assistant “Mia,” former Bad Boy Entertainment CFO Derek Ferguson, Cassie’s friend Bryana Bongolan and Diddy’s ex-girlfriend “Jane.”

CASSIE’S FRIEND ADMITS SHE CAN’T REMEMBER DETAILS OF BOMBSHELL CLAIMS AGAINST DIDDY

Here’s a look at the celebrities mentioned in court this week.

Madonna

After Diddy’s assistant, who testified under the pseudonym Mia, was let go in March 2017, she was hired by pop star Madonna.

The rapper’s defense team had questioned Mia  aboutwhether she’d worked in the “same industry” as before after being fired.

When asked what the ex-assistant did for Madonna, Mia replied, “A myriad of things.”

“I was hired to help lead her film division,” Diddy’s former employee claimed on the stand. “She also needed help restructuring her internal executive team, then it morphed into multiple roles.”

DIDDY’S ‘DREAM TEAM’ DEFENSE COULD COST HIM $15M: EXPERT

Leonardo DiCaprio and Mick Jagger

Diddy’s ex-assistant Mia mentioned both Leonardo DiCaprio and Mick Jagger in a text to her former boss that was read in court Monday.

During her cross-examination, the disgraced music mogul’s defense zeroed in on text messages Mia sent after she experienced alleged physical and sexual abuse by Combs. The former ex-assistant admitted the text messages she sent to Diddy after being terminated from her job were all positive.

“Love you, too. And the only things to remember are the good times, and those are the only memories I have!! Ha ha ha, like f—— hysterical ones! I’ll send you everything I’ve got! I remember even before you had videographers with us, I carried around the little iVid thing. I found those, too. Completely forgot about them.

“So many magical hilarious things, like drinking 1942 on the Parrot Cay Beach and champagne under the Eiffel Tower at 4:00 a.m. in the dark; and singing with Jimmy at Interscope; and Mick Jagger trying to take me home, but I ran away; and Ibiza caves, where I got a seven-inch scar; and Hawaii 5.0, when you punched that d— f— for talking s— to me; and launching Revolt; and that random underground Baccarat game where Jlolo wouldn’t pay out and I stayed only, and you won 650 grand, and that little prick ran away from me, and Leo [DiCaprio] grabbed my pink bedazzled BlackBerry, and you said that Titanic mother f—– doesn’t know s—. He won 10K, I won 650K. Ha ha ha. Gosh, there are trillions of stories that are amazing.”

USHER, OBAMA NAME-DROPPED IN DIDDY’S TRIAL AS SEX TRAFFICKING CASE HEATS UP

Beyoncé and Rihanna

Rihanna and Beyoncé were mentioned during Bryana Bongolan’s testimony Wednesday. Cassie Ventura’s friend claimed the two had been working on a clothing line with Diamond Supply Company.

According to Bongolan, the two got out a few collections during a two-year period. However, the clothing lines didn’t work out due to “internal” reasons at Diamond Supply Company.

Cassie’s friend agreed with Diddy’s defense lawyer that the clothing lines didn’t work out because the two were competing with Rihanna and Beyoncé.

Judd Apatow

Film producer Judd Apatow was mentioned during testimony in Diddy’s trial while the defense was showing text messages from the rapper’s ex-assistant. The defense noted Mia sent the texts after the “Last Night” rapper had been violent with her for years. Mia left her job working for Diddy in 2017.

On March 8, 2019, five months after the death of Diddy’s longtime partner, Kim Porter, Mia reached out. 

“Just sending you all the love in the world,” she wrote, adding a heart emoji.

“Speaking of, you should watch Love on Netflix. Judd Apatow created it,” she added in a separate text that same day. “It’s superbad-esque funny.”

Chadwick Boseman

In another text message Diddy’s ex-assistant sent to the rapper after he allegedly abused her, Mia mentioned actor Chadwick Boseman.

“Thinking of you since I heard about Chad Boseman and our sick James Brown auditions,” she wrote to Combs in 2020, years after she stopped working for him.

The “Black Panther” star died from colon cancer at the age of 43.

“Chad Boseman passed away, and we had done this – I don’t know how to explain it,” Mia further explained during her testimony. “He was auditioning for this role for the James Brown movie that Chad Boseman got, and, essentially, he put on his own production that was – or we put on his own production for, like, a week, and it was really intense. Yeah, that’s it.”

Diddy then asked Mia if she had a copy of the James Brown audition tape.

Liberal justices side with Thomas in landmark ruling that puts DEI programs at risk

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Clarence Thomas has spent his professional life trying to return American law to the Declaration of Independence’s founding promise that individuals should be judged as individuals rather than as members of racial, gender, or ethnic groups. It seems that his peers on the high court have been listening.

Thomas’ belief in individual rights precedes his time on the court. For example, in a 1985 law review article, Thomas discussed his daily responsibilities of enforcing the nation’s civil rights laws as chairman of the EEOC. He wrote: “I intend to take EEO enforcement back to where it started by defending the rights of individuals who are hurt by discriminatory practices. … Those who insist on arguing that the principle of equal opportunity, the cornerstone of civil rights, means preferences for certain groups have relinquished their roles as moral and ethical leaders in this area.”

SUPREME COURT RULES UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOR OF STRAIGHT OHIO WOMAN WHO CLAIMED DISCRIMINATION

Justice Thomas has reiterated that American law protects individual rather than groups rights throughout his three-and-a-half decades on the nation’s highest court. In 1995’s Missouri v. Jenkins, for instance, Thomas became the first Supreme Court justice to directly criticize Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Although he called state-mandated segregation “despicable,” he said that the Court was wrong in 1954 to rely on disputable social science evidence to declare segregation unconstitutional rather than invoking the “constitutional principle” that “the government must treat citizens as individuals, and not as members of racial, ethnic or religious groups.”

Justice Thomas has made similar pronouncements in many other judicial opinions. His concurring opinion in 2007’s Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 is perhaps the strongest articulation of his conception of equality: “The dissent attempts to marginalize the notion of a colorblind Constitution by consigning it to me and Members of today’s plurality. … But I am quite comfortable in the company I keep. My view of the Constitution is Justice Harlan’s view in Plessy: ‘Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens.’” 

More recently, Justice Thomas wrote in a concurring opinion in the Supreme Court’s 2023 decisions holding that colleges and universities cannot consider race in admissions decisions that “While I am painfully aware of the social and economic ravages which have befallen my race and all who suffer discrimination, I hold out enduring hope that this country will live up to its principles so clearly enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States: that all men are created equal, are equal citizens, and must be treated equally before the law.”

Last week’s Supreme Court decision in Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services signals that proponents of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs should stop pretending that they are complying with the law. After all, one of the most liberal members of the Court, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, wrote in an  opinion for a unanimous Court that the “background circumstances” rule imposed by several lower courts of appeal requiring members of a majority group to satisfy a heightened evidentiary standard to prevail on a Title VII discrimination claim is inconsistent with the text of Title VII and the Supreme Court’s anti-discrimination precedents.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION

Justice Jackson’s opinion for the Court reversing the lower courts might as well have been penned by Justice Thomas himself. Justice Jackson quoted the text of Title VII that makes it illegal to take an adverse employment action against “any individual.” She further quoted a 2020 Supreme Court decision, Bostock v. Clayton County, that held that the “law’s focus on individuals rather than groups [is] anything but academic.” She added: “By establishing the same protections for every ‘individual’—without regard to that individual’s membership in a minority or majority group—Congress left no room for courts to impose special requirements on majority-group plaintiffs alone.”

Justice Thomas joined Justice Jackson’s opinion for the Court “in full.” But he also issued a concurring opinion in which he suggested that the “background circumstances” rule is not only inconsistent with the statutory text of Title VII but is “plainly at odds with the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection.” Most important for present purposes, Thomas made clear that if proponents of DEI are hoping that the Ames decision has nothing to do with their DEI programs, they are sorely mistaken. “American employers have long been ‘obsessed’ with ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ initiatives and affirmative action plans,” he wrote. “Initiatives of this kind have often led to overt discrimination against those perceived to be in the majority.”

When Justice Antonin Scalia died in 2016, Court watchers openly speculated about who would replace him as the intellectual leader of the conservative legal movement. Clarence Thomas has unquestionably filled that role. After all, in Ames even Justice Thomas’s liberal colleagues on the nation’s highest court conceded that American law protects individual rather than group rights.

Gaines responds after Biles suggests she ‘bully someone your own size’ on social media

Simone Biles surprisingly sparred on social media with OutKick host Riley Gaines Friday, and Gaines has responded. 

Biles took offense to Gaines calling out a Minnesota high school whose softball team won a state championship Friday with a transgender pitcher. 

Marissa Rothenberger, a transgender athlete, threw a shutout to help Champlin Park High School win a state title.

Gaines, the host of the “Gaines for Girls” podcast, noted that comments on X were turned off on the Minnesota State High School League’s post with a photo of the team on social media. 

“To be expected when your star player is a boy,” Gaines wrote. 

OLYMPIAN SIMONE BILES FACES FIERCE BACKLASH AFTER CLASH WITH RILEY GAINES OVER TRANS ATHLETES DEBATE

Biles responded, calling Gaines “truly sick” for her comment and saying Gaines should be “uplifting” transgender athletes.

Gaines responded with a video on social media. 

“Yesterday, Simone Biles — the Olympic gymnast, the best of the best, bar none; there is no one even remotely in her league — I guess, in an attempt to be inclusive and virtuous, decided to sell out all girls who have dreams to achieve and to succeed, and to specifically personally attack and body shame me,” Gaines said.

“Let’s get this straight. It’s my job. It’s the women’s job. This is what Simone Biles is saying: It’s the women’s job to find a way for the men’s feelings to be validated, for their identity to be affirmed. That’s not my job, actually, at all. So, to say I should be doing this is insane. 

“If she wants to use her platform to uplift men and women’s sports, then, by all means. But it’s certainly not my job. And I don’t believe it’s the job of any woman to do this.”

Biles’ comments to Gaines included a dig at the former college swimmer losing to Lia Thomas, a trans swimmer, in 2022. 

“All of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser,” Biles wrote. 

“You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!! But instead… You bully them… One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!”

Gaines also addressed a second post from Biles, which told Gaines to “bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.”

“Number one, she’s acknowledging there are differences, like physiological, biological differences, between men and women in saying this,” Gaines responded. “Secondly, I’m 5-foot-5, which might seem like a giant to someone who’s like, 4-foot-7, 4-foot-8, but I’m pretty standard size for a woman, just, like, relatively muscular, right? Being an athlete, I would imagine Simone would understand that. 

“But I weigh like 135 pounds, 5-foot-5 of pretty much pure muscle. Again, if anyone would understand that, you would think it’s Simone Biles, a woman who has historically been scrutinized for having a very muscular, masculine-looking body.”

Finally, Gaines commended Biles for calling out the horrible sexual abuse acts committed by former Team USA gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar. However, Gaines believes there’s a contradiction.

“This is a woman who has been incredibly brave in calling out and witnessing the horrific sexual abuse that she and hundreds of other female gymnasts faced at the hands of one sexual predator — that predator being Larry Nassar — in the same breath, believing that vulnerable women should be forced to strip down naked in front of men and locker rooms, so long as it makes the man feel happy,” Gaines said. 

“If Larry Nassar came out as trans, I don’t think it’s responsible or safe for him to be housed in a women’s prison.”

Studies have shown that nearly 80% of people believe that biological males should stay out of girls and women’s sports.

Baseball mishap floors Marlins starter after catcher’s throw goes terribly wrong

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Marlins starter Ryan Weathers was drilled in the head by a throw down to second base after tossing his final warmup pitch between innings during a Miami Marlins-Tampa Bay Rays game Saturday.

As is customary between innings, the catcher will throw the ball down to second base to practice for a potential steal situation during the frame. 

But Marlins catcher Nick Fortes’ throw to second caught Weathers right in the head, and Weathers dropped quickly to the mound. 

Weathers was clearly in pain, and trainers emerged to examine the left-hander.

Weathers shook off the blow and stayed in the game. He threw a clean first inning with just eight pitches. 

However, Weathers was removed from his start after three innings for “precautionary reasons” after throwing just 57 pitches.

The Marlins said Weathers would be further evaluated.

Miami has struggled so far this season with a 24-38 record despite an 11-10 win over Tampa Bay Saturday. 

They were just swept by the Colorado Rockies, who have the worst record in MLB by far (12-51 as of Saturday).

Weathers has a 2.49 ERA over four starts (21⅔ innings pitched), giving up just 15 hits over those starts and six earned runs with 22 strikeouts and seven walks. 

This is Weathers’ fifth MLB season after beginning his career with the San Diego Padres. He struggled to start his career before being traded to Miami during the 2023 campaign.

Crowd goes berserk as President Trump enters UFC 316 in New Jersey

President Donald Trump was back at UFC, and the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, didn’t disappoint with the welcome. 

A thunderous roar befell the sold-out crowd at “The Rock” on Saturday night, as Trump walked into the building with UFC CEO Dana White ahead of a UFC 316 stacked main card.

Trump did his signature dance as he walked along the arena floor, greeting UFC fans as he made his way to his seat ringside.

This was a similar welcome he got at the Kaseya Center in Miami at UFC 314, where he had a large entourage with him, including his granddaughter Kai Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel, among others. 

While Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ivanka Trump were among those with him in New Jersey on Saturday night, someone who has been there at past events wasn’t. 

Elon Musk, who was with Trump in Miami, didn’t walk out with him this time as their feud continues. Trump and Musk have spent the past few days quarreling on social media after the feud began after Musk started “wearing thin” on the 47th president for about a month, Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy reported on Friday. 

The sparring on social media led many to offer their opinion on the matter, including some in the sports world, like boxer Jake Paul.

“One of the problems with the Republican Party is on display today (As a current Republican) We unfortunately have these Alpha male egos and leaders who aren’t mature enough sometimes. They’re 50+ years old and diss tweeting each other Elon and Trump are great but they need to work together and not make America look bad,” Paul wrote on X. 

His older brother, Logan Paul, even teased a WWE-style showdown between Trump and Musk on his social platforms. The elder Paul is a star in WWE now. 

Trump was already in New Jersey ahead of Saturday night’s fight at his golf course in Bedminster. He also commented on Truth Social about New Jersey’s Primary coming up on Tuesday, where he endorsed Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli for governor. 

“The Great State of New Jersey has a very important Primary coming up on Tuesday. Get Out and Vote for Jack Ciattarelli, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement! His Opponents are going around saying they have my Endorsement, which is not true, I don’t even know who they are! We can’t play games when it comes to Elections, and New Jersey is a very important State that we must WIN. The whole World is watching. Vote for Jack Ciattarelli to, MAKE NEW JERSEY GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote. 

When it was time to watch some fights, California’s Kevin Holland defeated Brazil’s Vicente Luque by submission, and he jumped out of the octagon to shake hands with a few including Trump. They exchanged some words before Holland continued his celebration.

“I don’t judge whatever makes anyone look or feel their best,” she said. “I haven’t needed it yet, but I can’t say that I haven’t said to doctors before, ‘Do I need to do this?’”

“And I’ve had really nice doctors who have just been like, ‘No,'” Garner recalled.

However, Garner admitted that she hasn’t ruled out potentially going under the knife in the future. 

“God only knows 10 years from now what the conversation will be. I’m not there yet,” she said. 

The “Daredevil” actress explained that she believes sunscreen is crucial to maintaining a youthful appearance, noting that she was glad that she began protecting herself from the sun early in life. 

“As someone who was not a sunbather in my 20s — I just didn’t have that patience — I luckily did wear sunscreen. I can tell you, the products have only gotten better, every single iteration, every single year, and I’m grateful for them now that I’m in my 50s,” Garner said.

During her interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Garner also reflected on whether there is a part of her appearance she has come to love more as she has aged.

“Part of the gift of being my mother’s daughter is that I haven’t spent a lot of time stressing about my physical appearance,” the actress said. “I don’t spend a lot of time in the mirror.”

“Sometimes I could spend more time in the mirror; I’m sure I’ve had things in my teeth or a bump in my hair,” Garner acknowledged.. “So there are pluses and minuses to it.”

“If you look through, like, the last 20-plus years of paparazzi pictures of me, you would see images and say, ‘You would be best served by spending more time thinking about what you look like,’” she joked.

“But the flip side of that is that I’m not really that stressed about aging or things changing,” she continued. “I have my moments, of course, where I’ll look in the monitor at work and be like, ‘Who is that? Ah, that’s me!’” 

“But I think less is more, as far as focusing on yourself too much in that way. What are you going to do? I want to age. I want to live to be 100. I don’t expect to look at 100 like I look today. I want to wear every single bit of those 100 years and feel great about them.”

While speaking with the outlet, Garner shared that she is content with being her age and does not wish that she was younger.

“I’m very grateful to be exactly this age,” the mother of three said. “I’m trying to soak it up. I feel like I’m living in my power. I’m living in my wisdom. I’m living in my joy and my capacity to do and get things done. So I’m just very aware of my luck and the grace that’s been shown to me.”

During a 2022 interview with Elle, Garner shared words of caution for young women who were considering getting fillers.

“My advice is to look at the mirror less and be cautious when it comes to injecting anything into your face,” she said. “Be very, very incredibly judicious and wait as absolutely long as possible to add anything. Don’t think that you’re 37 and you need to be shooting up your face.”

While speaking with People magazine in March 2024, the Golden Globe Award winner opened up about how she embraces aging.

“Honestly, mostly, I am grateful just to be alive,” Garner said. “And I’m grateful for the wisdom that I’ve gleaned out of these years and really grateful to be able to watch other women go through this process of life so gracefully.”
