Back when Kari Lake was a candidate for Arizona governor, she had some choice things to say about the late John McCain. He was an arch-nemesis of Donald Trump and Lake, running as Trump in high heels, went after Arizona’s longtime Republican senator with a vengeance.“We drove a stake through the heart of the McCain machine,” Lake told cheering supporters after winning the 2022 GOP primary, her jaw clenched as she pantomimed the fatal thrust.She called McCain, who died of brain cancer in 2018, a loser and told his backers…

Ever since her clear and unequivocal loss in the race for Arizona governor, Kari Lake has traveled the country posing and strutting like a conquering hero.As a candidate, the former Fox TV anchorwoman was all in on former President Trump and his Big Lie about the 2020 election being stolen.

K.R.I.T., meanwhile, delivers a brief verse that serves as an excellent reminder of why he’s still one of the most consistent southern rappers out. “Turnin’ Heads” follows the release of “Me First,” which Faux shared alongside a slick C.T.…

Hobbs led by 26,000 votes, a 1 point margin, down about 10,000 votes from a day earlier.
