<div id="utm_campaign"></div><div class="body js-expandable clearfix js-listicle-body css-listicle-body-2649549490"><div class="body-description"><p>As Inauguration Day approaches, Donald Trump's team is reportedly having such a hard time attracting celebrity performers that the President-elect has ordered a "Hail Mary" shakeup, according to the <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/trump-inauguration-panic-mark-burnett-irving-azoff-garth-brooks-celine-dion/">Wrap</a>. Susan Bender, formerly a booker for Dancing with the Stars, will now have her talents tested in the task of securing A-list talent. So far, the only confirmed performers are a 16-year-old America's Got Talent contestant and the Mormon Tabernacle.</p><hr><p>Which celebrities have reportedly turned down the chance to celebrate the new President-elect? Here's a list so far.</p><p><strong>Elton John </strong></p><p>When a member of Trump's transition team announced that Elton John would be performing at the inauguration, the singer's representatives swiftly <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/23/arts/music/no-elton-john-will-not-perform-at-the-trump-inauguration.html">shut down</a> his claim.</p><p>“This will be the first American president in U.S. history that enters the White House with a pro-gay-rights stance,” investment banker Anthony Scaramucci said on the BBC, according to the <em><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/23/arts/music/no-elton-john-will-not-perform-at-the-trump-inauguration.html">New York Times</a>.</em></p><p>“Incorrect. He will not be performing," Elton John's publicist retorted.</p><p><strong>Garth Brooks</strong></p><p>Asked if he would perform at the inauguration, the country star replied with the vaguely patriotic, “It’s always about serving. It’s what you do.” But after weeks of speculation, the Wrap <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/the-wrap/article/Garth-Brooks-Will-Not-Perform-at-Trump-10794551.php">reports</a> that Brooks will not be performing.</p><p><strong>Celine Dion </strong></p><p>Steve Wynn, Donald Trump's hotelier buddy, reportedly pledged to deliver up Celine Dion. He failed. Dion is <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/celine-dion-declines-trumps-invite-to-perform-at-inauguration-report-w457438">refusing</a> to take part.</p><p><strong>Andrea Bocelli</strong></p><p>The Trump team claimed that they had turned down Andrea Bocelli, but other <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/20/arts/andrea-bocelli-wont-be-singing-at-the-trump-inauguration.html?smid=tw-nytimesarts&smtyp=cur&mtrref=t.co&_r=1&mtrref=www.rollingstone.com&gwh=9678E3C318959047A09A4A30DFD897EA&gwt=pay">reports </a>suggest the singer decided against performing on January 20th because of potential backlash and bad press.</p><p><strong>John Legend</strong></p><p>We don't know if John Legend has been asked, but the singer made his position pretty clear nevertheless.</p><p>"Creative people tend to reject bigotry and hate," Legend <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-38298215">told</a> the BBC. "We tend to be more liberal-minded. When we see somebody that's preaching division and hate and bigotry, it's unlikely he'll get a lot of creative people that want to be associated with him."</p><p><strong>KISS</strong></p><p>When TMZ <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2016/12/22/gene-simmons-kiss-trump-inauguration/">asked</a> Gene Simmons if KISS would play the inauguration, Simmons tried to answer only to be shouted down by his wife and daughter, who yelled loud "No's!" Once Simmons was able to speak, he diplomatically offered that the band would be touring Europe then, but his family continued making it quite clear that was not the reason.</p><p>The Wrap reports that the team is offering to pay A-listers "anything" to get them on board.</p><p>Given his successful run on Dancing with the Stars, perhaps Rick Perry can pull double duty as Inauguration performer and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/us/politics/rick-perry-energy-secretary-trump.html">incoming</a> Energy Secretary.</p></div>

Ron DeSantis, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin all put out statements calling the raid "unprecedented," a "weaponization" of federal agencies, and politically motivated. </p><p>But former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, had a different take. Speaking to SiriusXM’s Julie Mason, Christie said the raid was "fair game" if the “factual underpinnings” that led to the FBI’s search are true. </p><p><strong><em>RELATED: <a href="https://www.rawstory.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-gut-doj/" target="_self">Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to 'totally gut' FBI over 'communist' raid on Mar-a-Lago</a></em></strong></p><p>South Carolina GOP Sen. Tim Scott also was willing to wholeheartedly defend Trump, saying Americans need to let the situation “play out” and see what happens. </p><p>But according to Shiree Verdone, co-chair of both of Trump’s Arizona campaigns, the raids may have breathed new life into support for Trump in areas where it may have been diminishing. </p><p>“I had gotten calls from people last night that were getting kind of tired of Trump, not so much they wanted to move on from him, but more that they were sick of the drama. Well, that’s over,” Verdone said. “Just talking to people now, they are irate, and they are ready to support Trump. Even some people who were not full Trumpers, but are so upset with what happened [FBI search]. It seems this is really going to elevate Trump.”</p><p>The FBI declined to comment on whether the search was happening or what it might be for, nor did Trump give any indication of why federal agents were at his home.</p><p><strong><em>WATCH: <a href="https://www.rawstory.com/sarah-huckabee-sanders-fbi-tweet/" target="_self">‘Just laughable’: Morning Joe busts Sarah Huckabee Sanders for flip-flopping on FBI after Mar-a-Lago raid</a></em></strong></p><p>But multiple media outlets cited sources close to the investigation as saying that agents were conducting a court-authorized search related to the potential mishandling of classified documents that had been sent to Mar-a-Lago.</p><p>The National Archives said in February it had recovered 15 boxes of documents from Trump's Florida estate, which the Washington Post reported included highly classified texts, taken with him when he left Washington following his reelection defeat.</p><p>The documents and mementos -- which also included correspondence from ex-US president Barack Obama -- should by law have been turned over at the end of Trump's presidency but instead ended up at his Mar-a-Lago resort.</p><p>The recovery of the boxes raised questions about Trump's adherence to presidential records laws enacted after the 1970s Watergate scandal that require Oval Office occupants to preserve records related to administration activity.</p><p>The Archives had requested then that the Justice Department open a probe into Trump's practices.</p><p><br></p><p><em>With additional reporting by AFP</em></p></template></div>

Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are under increased scrutiny as his portrayal in best-selling books on the Trump administration appear to contract his record in office, according to a new analysis.</p><p>Writing in Slate, Fred Kaplan analyzed an <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/15/inside-the-war-between-trump-and-his-generals" target="_blank">excerpt</a> from forthcoming Susan Glasser and Peter Baker book <em>The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021</em>.</p></div>

<div class="js-appear-on-expand"><template><p>Kaplan <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/08/trump-vs-military-mark-milley-image-laundering.html" target="_blank">wrote</a>, "most of the excerpt is given over to a glorification of Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who is portrayed as the main source of resistance to Trump’s assault on American democracy. We’ve seen this before, in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1982182911/?tag=slatmaga-20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Peril</em></a>, the final volume of Bob Woodward’s Trump trilogy (co-authored by Robert Costa). The account by Glasser and Baker is more credible, in that they quote reliable witnesses—former defense secretary Robert Gates, Rep. Adam Smith, and Sen. Angus King—confirming key aspects of Milley’s tale. (Woodward never identifies sources, but Milley is clearly the source of his stories about Milley; <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/09/trump-woodward-book-review-scoops-analysis.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">most of his books’ heroes</a> are the characters who cooperate with him most fully.)"</p><p>Kaplan claimed the description of Milley did not match his actions.</p><p><strong><em>IN OTHER NEWS: <a href="https://www.rawstory.com/maga-rage-over-mar-a-lago-fbi-search-stokes-gops-civil-war/" target="_self">MAGA rage over Mar-a-Lago FBI search stokes GOP’s civil war</a></em></strong></p><p>"The most remarkable item in the Glasser-Baker portrait is the full reproduction of a long letter of resignation that Milley wrote a week after Trump’s June 1, 2020, photo op outside the church on Lafayette Square, after Black Lives Matter protesters had just been violently removed by national guard and federal officers. It’s a harsh letter," Kaplan wrote. "But here’s the thing: Milley never sent this letter. In fact, Glasser and Baker note that this was merely one of several drafts of a resignation letter—the others were shorter (and, I would guess, less contentious). Had he resigned, would he have sent this one? Given the reluctance of many officers—active-duty or retired—to reproach the commander-in-chief in public, and given the paucity of evidence that Milley ever confronted Trump so directly in private, I doubt it. This was probably his getting-it-out-of-my-system draft—meant to be saved for the personal files, then deleted."</p><p>Kaplan wondered how much of what Milley is saying is meant as public relations as he continues to lead the Joint Chiefs in the Biden administration.</p><p>"Nonetheless, Milley is now working overtime to dissociate himself from Trump as much as possible and thus rehabilitate his reputation. At least Milley did speak out a bit, to the degree he felt he could, while still on his job," he wrote. "Still, judging from the excerpt, the Glasser-Baker book is probably a good read. Then, of course, Maggie Haberman, the most seasoned Trump chronicler, has her 600-page tome, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Confidence-Man-Making-Breaking-America/dp/0593297342/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1660062760&sr=1-1" target="_blank"><em>Confidence Man</em></a>, coming out in October. And as the Trump scandal machine keeps churning—the Jan 6 revelations, the Mar-A-Lago raid this week, who knows what curveball next week—all of these authors will need to write afterwords, if not wholly revised chapters, for the paperback editions."</p><p>Read the <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/08/trump-vs-military-mark-milley-image-laundering.html" target="_blank">full report</a>.</p></template></div>

</p><p>Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press that the situation is getting more perilous every day at the Zaporizhzhya plant. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is Europe’s largest atomic energy station. </p><p>Concerns over the stability of the physical integrity of the plant and the recent shelling in the region may be the least of Ukraine’s worries. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6tgXcL1hC9gItUIgiDvMQ/?sub_confirmation=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Enjoy short breaking news videos?

"The enemy knows that the station will be either Russian or nobody's. We are ready for the consequences of this step. And you, the liberating warriors, must understand that we do not have a second way. And if there is the most severe order - we must fulfill it with honor!" </p><p>Leaders around the world are speaking out about the emerging nuclear crisis. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his concerns over the deteriorating situation on Sunday. </p><p>Then, on Monday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attacks on and around Zaporizhzhia. </p><p>A spokesperson for the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov said the shelling of the plant by “Ukrainian armed forces” was “fraught with catastrophic consequences” for Europe. Officials in Ukraine and Russia continue to exchange blame for the bombardment.</p><p> Tuesday marked the 77th anniversary of the atomic bomb attack on Nagasaki, Japan. It seems that unfortunately, the prospect of nuclear conflict is no longer in our past, but once again in our conceivable future.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6tgXcL1hC9gItUIgiDvMQ/?sub_confirmation=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Enjoy short breaking news videos?
