The hotly contested race to replace retiring Republican Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) in Washington, D.C., unfolded without Donald Trump backing any particular candidate. Instead, the former president on Monday simply endorsed “Eric,” ensuring he could take credit regardless of whether Schmitt or Greitens prevailed.
Schmitt won the race by netting nearly 46 of the votes with over 95 of precincts reported.

Donald Trump still has the power to make Republicans fight each other for his approval, and he’s enjoying it immensely.
The former president “thought it was a thing of beauty and too goddamn funny” to endorse “Eric” in the Missouri primary and then to watch two Maga candidates — both named “Eric” — scramble to claim his favor, according to a person familiar with the ex-president’s thoughts.
On Monday, Trump wrote in a statement that “Eric” has his “complete and total endorsement” in the Missouri’s Republican primary for Senate.

Democratic Senate candidate Lucas Kunce isn’t running against Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). I was nevertheless curious: Had he seen the news about Hawley’s just-announced forthcoming book, Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs?
Kunce gives a hearty snicker. “This is what we’re running against,” he says. “We’re running against the biggest fakers the world has ever seen.”
The book promises to call on “American men to stand up and embrace their God-given responsibility as husbands, fathers, and citizens.” He’ll draw upon Greek philosophers, Jesus, and Theodore Roosevelt...

Former President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he is endorsing “Eric” in the Missouri Republican Senate primary.
The only problem is that two of the leading candidates to secure the nomination are named Eric. Eric Schmitt, the state’s attorney general, and Eric Greitens, the state’s disgraced former governor in a dead heat with Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), whom the former president had already said he would not endorse.
“I trust the Great People of Missouri, on this one, to make up their own minds, much as they...

“You’re a f*cking disappointment,” a vengeful Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) tells offspring Homelander (Anthony Starr) in the final battle of The Boys’ Season 3 finale.

Conservative Canadian author and psychologist Jordan Peterson, who was temporarily suspended from Twitter for his tweet about “The Umbrella Academy” star Elliot Page, said in a nearly 15-minute video posted to YouTube on Friday that he refuses to apologize, even if it means the suspension becomes a lifetime ban.
His June 22 tweet about Page, who announced he was a transgender man in December 2020, was a reaction to the premiere of the Netflix show’s third season premiere. In the series, Page’s character has also transitioned from female to male.
Reacting to a comment from Page during an appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” that he is proud to introduce a trans character on the series, Peterson tweeted, “Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician,” deliberately deadnaming and misgendering the actor.

The Jan. 6 committee has, for the past few weeks, been reminding Americans about the horrifying “war scene” that unfolded during the attack on the Capitol. Some conservatives are ignoring the panel’s findings and dismissing the hearings as a distraction. Others are doubling down on political violence. Eric Greitens, a scandal-ridden Republican running for Senate in Missouri, released an ad on Monday advocating for “hunting” RINOs, or Republicans In Name Only, a term for conservatives who haven’t veered far enough to the right.
The ad is not subtle. It isn’t even metaphorical.

Eric Greitens resigned as governor of Missouri in 2018 amid a wave of scandals ranging from allegations of sexual misconduct to felony charges for using a veterans charity list to raise campaign cash. Greitens seems to have figured this puts him right at home in the GOP of 2022, and he is currently in the midst of a race to secure the party’s nomination in the race for retiring Sen. Roy Blunt’s seat in Washington. Greitens, however, faces new allegations of extreme abuse. His ex-wife on Monday accused him of physically abusing their children,...

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, a Republican who has emphasized his devotion to his wife and family, admitted to an extramarital affair Wednesday night, but through his lawyer denied a claim that he used nude photos to blackmail his mistress.
Kmov published a report exposing Greitens’ infidelity with his former hairstylist after a months-long investigation on Wednesday, just hours after his second State of the State speech. Greitens and his wife, Sheena, confirmed the affair in a joint statement.
“A few years ago, before Eric was elected Governor, there was a time when he was unfaithful in our marriage,” the statement began.
