During an interview on Monday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that she thought former President Joe Biden’s decision to run for re-election was “a terrible miscalculation.”

The interview with New Yorker editor David Remnick covered a range of topics, including the war in Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration, and the 2024 presidential election.

'He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country.'

The Democratic National Committee recently released an autopsy report on the 2024 election, which Remnick criticized for not mentioning Biden’s decision to run. Asking Clinton if Biden made a mistake by launching another candidacy, she responded, “He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country.”

Clinton went on to say that if Biden had stuck to serving a single term, Democrats “would have had a real contest.”

“I believe whoever emerged from that contest, whether it was the vice president or a governor or a senator or anybody else, would've beaten Donald Trump.”

Despite Biden’s old age and alleged cognitive decline, Clinton claimed that before the CNN presidential debate between Biden and Trump, there was still a strong belief inside the White House that he would emerge victorious in the election. Those who attempted to convince Biden otherwise “were met with total denial” from Biden and those around him, Clinton detailed.

That denial continued even after the debate, Clinton said, with many still believing Biden's performance to be “recoverable” regardless of the renewed push for Biden to suspend his campaign.

Clinton’s account comes only a few weeks after a CBS interview in which former first lady Jill Biden revealed that she thought her husband was experiencing a stroke while on the debate stage.

“I don't know what happened," she said. “As I watched it, I thought, 'Oh, my God, he's having a stroke.' And it scared me to death.”

Biden ultimately dropped his bid for president in July 2024 and immediately backed then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris would go on to lose to Trump in the November general election, receiving 226 electoral votes to Trump’s 312.

"There was no way to convince [Biden]" to step aside "by going public," Clinton said. "And eventually what convinced him was, you know, polling."

Many on the left were disturbed by the appearance of a burning cross at a park in Chicago, but the man who claims he put it up says he is not racist and was protesting President Donald Trump.

Police released video of a man they called a person of interest after someone set up the cross and lit it on fire on June 10 at Grant Park in downtown Chicago.

'I don't wanna wait until he may or may not get impeached. I want him gone right now.'

Community members immediately blamed racism and hatred, and one even mentioned "the South."

"I was horrified; I was angry!" said Rev. Michael Pfleger of the Faith Community of Saint Sabina in an interview with WGN-TV.

"This is a decades-old symbol of hate and supremacy and the Ku Klux Klan. This is their symbol," he added.

"This is something that's been used in the South to harm and scare black Americans, so it was very distasteful," said Keinika Carlton, who saw the cross burning and captured it on video.

"There's no way to explain this nicely, except it's hate!" Pfleger added in another interview with WBBM-TV.

"A burning cross is not a prank. It is not a misunderstanding. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of racial terror in American history," said attorney Benjamin Crump, known for representing many race-related cases.

"Hate cannot be normalized, excused, or ignored. Those responsible must be identified and held accountable," Crump continued.

"This isn't random vandalism. It's a direct message of hate meant to intimidate Black people in the middle of downtown Chicago. How many more times will racists use this symbol of terror in public before it's treated like the hate crime it is?" an anti-racism account said on social media.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said it was also investigating the incident.

A few days later, a 21-year-old Asian man claimed to have set up the cross and said he didn't even know it was a symbol of racism.

"I did know about this historical relevance beforehand, but I didn't know the severity, how racially motivated it may seem from what I did," University of Illinois Chicago senior Merlin Lu said to WMAQ-TV.

Lu said the cross was intended as a protest against Trump's alleged Christian-nationalist supporters and the "Make America Great Again" movement and that he had put a red hat on top of the cross to try to get this message across.

"I put a red hat to signify the MAGA hat, the Make America Great Again hat," he added. "So that was, yeah, that's what I tied on top."

"I don't want to wait till his term ends," Lu said of the president. "I don't wanna wait until he may or may not get impeached. I want him gone right now."

Lu was asked how he came up with the idea for the burning-cross protest.

"Just it came up to my head one day," he said. "I wanted to find something that I could do by myself, like no organization, no friends."

WMAQ said Lu is a native of Naperville.

"He's just scamming people," Lu added about Trump.

"I think that's a great reflection of how this country works right now, where money controls everything. Money has power over health care. Money has power over transportation," he continued.

Lu said he was thinking of surrendering to the police, and WMAQ reported in an update that the police confirmed the arrest of a person of interest.

Former "Top Gear" star Jeremy Clarkson had heartbreaking news for his friends during the season finale of his new show.

After leading "Top Gear" to fantastic ratings over 33 seasons between 2002 and 2022, Clarkson moved on to "Clarkson's Farm," a show about him running a farm in West England.

'Where it is of no concern of anybody.'

Difficult conversation

In the final two episodes of Season 5, Clarkson revealed to his friends and co-stars Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper that his recent disappearance was because he was getting tests done.

The show aired Clarkson having a difficult conversation with his mates, revealing his diagnosis: "I've got cancer," Clarkson said.

Cooper appeared shocked, replying, "No."

Clarkson offered a shrug and a "yep." Cooper asked, "Where?"

"Where is of no concern of anybody," Clarkson firmly stated. "I've known since May."

In the later episode, however, Clarkson confirmed to his co-stars that he has prostate cancer.

'Fingers crossed'

As reported by Variety, Clarkson said he had "disappeared off the other week," had had a biopsy done, and that the cancer is "aggressive," but it's "really early."

He added, "I'll have to go and have an operation, and then — the operation is in and out in no time — but your body's out of action for a little while."

By the final episode, Clarkson had already gone through the procedure, seemingly telling his friend that part of his prostate had been removed.

"10% of it is dead, the 10% where the cancer is," Clarkson explained, per the BBC.

"I had the op, and just fingers crossed it's worked; we don't know yet."

Carry on

Clarkson took to his Instagram page on Tuesday to say that the Season 5 finale was "really, really difficult," but it was his words in the show's last episode that displayed Clarkson's true perseverance and classic English attitude.

The season started "with me in a hospital bed and we are at the end of Season 5 and I'm back in a hospital bed," the 66-year-old said. He noted that if his treatment is "successful, I'll see you for Season 6, and if it isn't, I won't."
