Jon Stewart delivered a fiery warning about Donald Trump, accusing the former president of openly embracing authoritarian rhetoric and urging Americans to take it seriously.

Speaking on The Daily Show, Stewart said Trump’s defenders should stop trying to frame his actions as normal politics.

“You don’t have to bend over backwards trying to make Trump’s authoritarian power grabs seem like the rule of law,” Stewart said. “He does not give a f— anymore. He’s saying it straight up.”

Stewart argued Trump is openly signaling that he wants to punish political opponents and use the power of government against them, telling viewers the country faces a choice: accept it, or “fight like hell for this constitutional republic.”

I asked for speakers with a mixer and he delivered.

Simmons’ comments come amid a growing clash after actor Ben Stiller criticised the White House after a political video used a clip from his 2008 comedy Tropic Thunder, saying he never gave permission for it to be used and didn’t want to be part of what he called a “propaganda machine.”

The KISS rocker delivered a blunt message during a recent interview, saying actors, comedians and entertainers should “shut the f-ck up” about politics and stick to their craft instead of lecturing the public.

“People in America work hard for their living,” Simmons said, arguing that many voters are tired of being told what to think by wealthy celebrities who live in mansions and drive luxury cars.

He even singled out several other Hollywood figures while making his point, including Mark Ruffalo and Kylie Jenner, sarcastically asking why the public should care about their political opinions.

A special moment at the zoo

Utah’s Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City welcomed a healthy male giraffe calf on January 26, 2025. The newborn weighed about 139 pounds and stood 5 feet 8 inches tall at birth. His mother, Minka, a first-time mom, delivered him naturally inside the zoo’s African Savanna barn while the animal care team carefully monitored the birth.

Giraffe calves enter the world in a dramatic way, dropping nearly six feet from their standing mother during birth. To keep the calf safe, the zoo team prepared a cushioned landing area to soften the fall. Soon after landing, the little giraffe found his footing and began walking within minutes, a strong sign of good health.

The father, a bull giraffe named Ja, was later introduced to the newborn. In a touching moment captured on camera, both parents leaned toward their calf, creating a heartwarming scene that quickly went viral online.
