Source: Jordan Strauss / Getty It’s already August, but according to Coach Megan Thee Stallion , it’s still a very Hot Girl Summer. So much so that she dropped the namesake track on Friday featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Hot Barb Summer leader, Nicki Minaj . Of course, the Barbz were hype that their Queen teamed up with a upcoming female rapper that’s poppin; and doing her thing. I’m so happy and glad that Nicki keeps on working and supporting other female rappers and whatever happened last year she just left it behind and moved on. Wow —
Source: Win McNamee / Getty Joe Biden Tells Iowa Crowd “Poor Kids Are Just As Bright And Just As Talented As White Kids” Former Vice President Joe Biden is effing up once again . According to NBC News , the Democratic presidential candidate visited a town hall on Thursday with the Asian and Latino Coalition in Des Moines, Iowa. When the conversation came to the discrimination faced by low-income students, Joe had this to say: “We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as White kids.” Then he paused, and clarified with the quickness : “Wealthy kids, Black kids and Asian kids. No, I really mean it, but think how we think about it.” Mhm. *Taps mic for Joe in the back* Not all Black people or people of color are poor! There are a lot of white people who are poor despite White people still being generally more wealthy ! Peep Joe’s clip and some of the backlash below. Understand the inference in what @JoeBiden is saying when comparing “poor kids” (i.e. Black and brown children) to “white kids.” He sets white children as the standard of brilliance and talent. Thus, the benchmark of greatness that nonwhite people need to reach for is whiteness. https://t.co/CLEC4xk5fi — Bishop Talbert Swan (@TalbertSwan) August 9, 2019 Eventually, Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, said that Biden “misspoke and immediately corrected himself during a refrain he often uses to make the point that all children deserve a fair shot, and children born into lower-income circumstances are just as smart as those born to wealthy parents.” Of course Trump hopped on any chance to drag a Democrat, pretending that he cares about poor people or people of color. When asked about Biden’s comments, Trump told a reporter that Biden is “not playing with a full deck.” “He made the comment, I said, ‘Whoa,’” Trump said. Trump on Biden's “poor kids” comment: “Joe Biden is not playing with a full deck. This is not somebody you can have as your president.” https://t.co/idScOroOzN pic.twitter.com/0n8TbU2wSi — CBS News (@CBSNews) August 9, 2019 Yea whatever. Get it together Biden.

If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Troubled eldest son Matt Brown just reconciled his way back onto Alaskan Bush People , but now another family conflict could rock their world. Bam Bam has had it up to here with how his family treats his girlfriend. At this point, there’s only one thing keeping him around. … RadarOnline reports that 34-year-old Bam Bam Brown is “completely fed up” with his family’s weird double standards. Specifically, his girlfriend Allison Kagan seems to get nothing but the cold shoulder from his parents, and he’s had enough. Recent happy relationship news from his brothers has made it impossible for him to ignore how much his parents like everyone else’s girlfriends. “They do not show Bam’s woman Allison the same level of respect,” the insider explains. “And it really just sets him off,” the source explains. The insider adds that he’s so angry “because they’ve known her longer than any of his brother’s new fame-hungry girls.” It’s no huge mystery why Billy and others don’t care for Allie as much as as they do for Rhain or Raquell or Raiven. Unlike those women, Allison used to work on Alaskan Bush People . It looks like his loved ones didn’t enjoy seeing her make the switch from professional to romantic with Bam Bam. Even so, he and Allison headed off and bought a boat, working hard to totally fix it up. An insider at the time made it clear that the couple “had no desire to return to TV, and they didn’t need to.” So what has the two of them spending time in Washington? Money, of course! What else would it be? “They both know what they are doing,” the source points out. “Because they are smart people.” “They are getting paid handsomely,” the insider notes. “And they know how to run the show like a machine,” the source observes. “Because they understand both sides of it.” If any Alaskan Bush People fans are hoping that Bam Bam and Allison will settle down on the 435-acre property Billy bought, think again. They’re there for the cash from the show, and Bam Bam doesn’t want to expose Allie to rudeness unless they’re being paid for their trouble. For now, sure, they’ll play ball when the show is filming. “But,” cautions the insider, “once the program is done, which will happen eventually, they are out of there.” Sad to think of Alaskan Bush People coming to an end, but even the best shows eventually run their course. Honestly, this sounds like a smart, sensible move on Bam Bam’s part. Alaskan Bush People has made his family into millionaires. Bam Bam absolutely deserves a piece of the action — because fans and viewers want to see him, too. While it won’t be easy if Allison continues to get snubbed, being able to swallow your pride for a while is worth it for a hefty paycheck. In the mean time, maybe Billy’s attitude will have softened after Rhain, Raquell, and Raiven. View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know
