President Donald Trump is finally revealing why he frequents his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club so often.
Trump, 71, reportedly told a group of members at the club that the reason he visited there so often was because “that White House is a real dump,” according to Golf.com.
A White House spokesperson later denied to the publication that the statement was said. Trump is scheduled to leave Thursday for a two-week vacation at his Bedminster club.

It’s been just over a week since Anthony Scaramucci began his role as Trump’s new White House communications director, and his tenure has already been capped.
The 53-year-old has been removed from the position, and though Scaramucci’s White House reign was short, he left his mark with a jaw-dropping interview and some personal drama.
As usual, social media users had a lot to say about the short-lived “Mooch” era, quickly sharing jokes and memes to commemorate Scaramucci’s removal.
Joked Scandal star Josh Malina, “@Scaramucci Chin up! You accomplished a lot in your first 100 seconds.”

Donald Trump won't be attending D.C.'s "Nerd Prom" on April 30 - but it's not because he wasn't invited. "I was asked by every single group of media available to mankind [to attend this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner]," the Gop front-runner tells The Hill. "But I've decided not to go. Do you know why? I would have a good time and the press would say I look like I wasn't having a good time." Trump attended last year's dinner, before he announced his presidential bid, as well as the 2011 dinner, where President Obama famously roasted the billionaire businessman in a comedy routine.

Cable news networks are censoring coverage of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons that led gunmen to attack the satirical Paris-based newspaper Wednesday. Both CNN and MSNBC admit to limiting use of the original cartoons depicting, among other subjects, the Prophet Muhammad per their respective corporate policies.
The networks — along with many other media outlets, including TheWrap — have been heavily covering the terror attack that killed 12 people, including journalists from the weekly paper as well as two police officers.

St. Louis police officers shot dead a 23-year-old black man who had brandished a knife. The shooting, just 2.5 miles from Ferguson, is already inciting new tensions in the area.
Police Shoot Man 2.5 Miles From Ferguson
The St. Louis man who was shot and killed by police had allegedly stolen energy drinks and pastries from a nearby convenience store, reported NBC News. Police, responding to a call about the incident, found the man “acting erratically” while walking down the street. Eventually, the man took out a knife. When the two police officers told him to drop it, he did not, which ultimately lead to his shooting.
“The suspect, who right now is described as a 23-year-old African American, was acting erratically — walking back and forth up and down the street," St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson told reporters, according to CNN.
"As officers arrived, the suspect turned towards the officers and...

From the group that brought you last summer's hit "Hot Cheetos & Takis" comes another song on a subject hip-hop has heretofore seldom considered: school uniform swag.
The song, "Khaki Pants," which dropped earlier this month, is an ode to school uniform bottom wear, and it comes complete with its own accompanying dance.
"Walking through the school in my khaki pants, when they see how I be fresh, they do the khaki dance," raps one member the rap group Y.N. Rich Kids.
"Yeah, we got 'Hot Cheetos & Taki' fans, but after this, you gon' wanna do the khaki dance," raps another member.
The video, which has more than 89,000 views on YouTube as of this writing, already has at least one high-profile fan. Chris Hayes, host of the MSNBC show "All In With Chris Hayes," tweeted a link to the song yesterday:
"Swag ain't what you wear, swag is the mentality.

The cast of Pretty Little Liars is managing to get even hunkier, according to TV Guide with the addition of Sean Faris as an investigator from outside of Rosewood.
Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson tells EW that he would like to direct an episode of Doctor Who, providing the iconic series is willing to meet his fee — a Dalek.
My Name is Earl alum Nadine Velaquez is joining the cast of Major Crime in its second season, according to Deadline. Velaquez will play a D.A. working on the Phillip Stroh case who clashes with Captain Raydor.
I guess Fox News was having a slow news day. Have there been any national stories they've been trying to ignore this week? Any anniversaries?...

Wayne Lapierre, the president of the National Rifle Association, did not take questions after his press conference today, the first public response from the powerful gun lobby after the horrific school shooting in Newtown, Conn. one week ago. But the public reaction during and immediately after his speech was loud, especially from celebrities, who couldn’t help but weigh in on Twitter about the National Rifle Association’s response.

What did we learn from the debt crisis last month, apart from the fact that Republicans are willing to destroy the entire country if they don't get their way, and the United States has basically become ungovernable?
Well, in a slightly more optimistic take on the whole affair,, I also learned that a bunch of the nation's political reporters are extremely hot!

Take Ezra Klein, who is currently my number one favorite blogger/pundit/political writer (for the Washington Post and Newsweek) — and truthfully, the fact that he is so completely, utterly adorable is the least of what I like so much about him.
The 27-year-old Klein, who came by his current position of influence by working his way up from the ranks of the "citizen bloggers," is a wonk's wonk extraordinaire: wry and insightful, incredibly smart, but never hysterical. The fact that he successfully defeats his rhetorical opponents through sheer intellect,...

Last night on MSNBC's Countdown, substitute host Christopher Hayes and guest representative from Media Matters Ari Rabin-Havt discussed the results of the University of Maryland poll that concluded Fox News viewers to be the most misinformed of all news consumers. After playing some clips of Fox News hosts promoting what Hayes implied to be half-truths, the discussion morphed into a full on attack of Fox News, its viewers and its management, rather than attempting to resemble a credible critique to be taken with much seriousness.

AfterElton.com editor Michael Jensen posted his Hot 100 picks a few weeks ago in the Best Gay Week Ever column, but it turns out that the other writers around here have very different tastes in men. We didn't want you thinking Michael's picks were the de facto "official" AfterElton.com selections or anything. Michael's drunk enough with power already.
So we rounded up the Hot 100 selections from all the peons as well. There are some surprises here – and very little overlap. Several of us went for unadulterated beefcake, but a few of our writers (no doubt the more insecure ones!) are clearly trying to impress you with a few highbrow and cerebral choices thrown in.
Check 'em out and see what you think. Who's list comes closest to your own?

In the past decade, nearly every pillar institution in American society -- whether it's General Motors, Congress, Wall Street, Major League Baseball, the Catholic Church or the mainstream media -- has revealed itself to be corrupt, incompetent or both. And at the root of these failures are the people who run these institutions, the bright and industrious minds who occupy the commanding heights of our meritocratic order. In exchange for their power, status and remuneration, they are supposed to make sure everything operates smoothly. But after a cascade of scandals and catastrophes, that implicit social contract lies in ruins, replaced by mass skepticism, contempt and disillusionment. - Christopher Hayes, Time Magazine, 3/11/10 This is an age of idiocy. Iq's have not precipitously dropped; we needn't seek a culprit in the water. It's just that our technological crutches make our idiocy...
