  • Former President Trump alleged that President Biden couldn't attend sporting events without being jeered.
  • The comments came as the former president ripped into his successor during a Saturday rally in Texas.
  • Trump himself has been booed at sporting events, including a 2019 World Series game in Washington.

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday blasted President Joe Biden's leadership of the country — touching on everything from immigration to the economy — before alleging that his successor couldn't attend a sporting event in the United States without being jeered.

Trump made the assertion during his latest "Save America" rally in Conroe, Texas, speaking to the MAGA faithful about his grievances with the Biden administration as he continues to float a potential White House bid in 2024.

"The incompetence of our leaders can be scarcely believed," the former president said. "It's a disaster and a disgrace what's happened to our country ... nobody can believe it."

He continued: "Remember, there's a reason that Joe Biden can't walk into a sports stadium anywhere in America without being loudly mocked and ridiculed."

Many in the crowd then began to chant the anti-Biden slogan "Let's Go Brandon" while Trump looked on from the stage.

The phrase became a rallying cry among conservatives last October after the NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast said the crowd in the background of her interview with the NASCAR driver Brandon Brown was chanting, "Let's go, Brandon," when the audience could be heard chanting, "Fuck Joe Biden."

Many Republicans have said they feel as though the reporter who used the sanitized language to deflect from the anti-Biden chant was engaging in a form of media bias, rather than an attempt to avoid violating strict Federal Communications Commission rules against swearing during the motorway broadcast.

At last September's Congressional Baseball Game in Washington DC, Biden received a mix of cheers and boos after making an appearance at the matchup.

However, during the fifth game of the 2019 World Series, Trump himself was booed at Nationals Park in Washington, with loud chants of "Lock Him Up!" emanating from some attendees after he was shown on the jumbotron.

The phrase was a riff on one of Trump's signature slogans that he used for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, his Democratic presidential opponent in the 2016 election.

The Nintendo Switch has been the US’s bestselling console for 23 straight months

By
Photo by James Bareham / The Verge It’s been a good two years for the Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, the gaming tablet has been the bestselling console in the US for 23 straight months. And according to data from the NPD Group, it just had its best October ever, moving 735,926 units of both the Switch and Switch Lite in the US. The company says that represents a 136 percent increase compared to last year. To date, the Switch has sold 22.5 million units in the US, and last week Nintendo revealed that more than 68 million units have been sold globally . “We’re excited about our momentum,” says Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing. Chavez puts the company’s big October down to two main factors. One is a better supply of stock; this year in particular, it’s often been hard to find a Switch on store shelves. This has only been exacerbated by increased demand due to a combination of the pandemic and the breakout success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons . ...

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

(Oct. 9, 2026) Flashing the new logo on the big screen, Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum wouldn't say much about the show's plot or characters — perhaps some meta marketing for what is being dubbed a Marvel universe spy drama — but he did hint there was more than meets the eye.
