GOP Senate Candidates in Arizona Pledge Allegiance to Trump Ahead of His Visit

Ahead of Donald Trump’s visit to the state this weekend, the two leading candidates in the GOP Senate primary in Arizona duked it out in an explosive final debate Wednesday, fighting over who the real “America First” candidate is. Former energy executive Jim Lamon called Blake Masters “a fake” border hawk and accused him of using “California talk, buddy, not Arizona [talk].” But at the end of the day, it’s Masters, not Lamon, who has the former president’s backing and will be promoted at the “Arizona Trump Ticket” rally on Saturday.

Masters, a Silicon Valley egghead plucked out of obscurity by PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel, touted his recently obtained MAGA credentials at length Wednesday. “President Trump endorsed me because he knows that I’ll be the best on the border,” he said. “I’m the only one bold enough to say that I think Joe Biden and [Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro] Mayorkas deserve to be impeached for the dereliction of duty that they’ve shown at the southern border.” After vowing to never give “Biden a damn thing” if elected, Masters taunted Lamon for failing to charm Trump during his unsuccessful visit to Mar-a-Lago, saying, “He met with Jim Lamon, he thought he was a bozo. I’m the ‘America First’ candidate. That’s why I’m endorsed.” Lamon noted that Masters’s campaign and career has been bankrolled by a Big Tech billionaire. “Look no farther than who’s holding the purse for this guy,” Lamon said of Masters, repeating material from attack ads against the Thiel protégé. “$17 million dollars coming out of Big Tech California globalist guy who he will owe that too.”

Trump is visiting Arizona, a state he lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 election, Saturday, with a rally scheduled in a conservative county north of Phoenix, where he’s expected to speak in support of Masters and Kari Lake, the Republican running for governor. The campaigning trip also comes amid reports of Trump’s intentions to run for office again in 2024 (Trump himself told New York magazine as much in a recent interview). Still, his visit will put a spotlight on the Senate contest in Arizona, where Republicans are attempting to oust Democrat Mark Kelly from office.

There was one notable absence from the Republican primary debate: Mark Brnovich, Arizona’s ardently conservative attorney general, was busy fighting “against the Biden administration’s open-border policies,” his office told CBS News. His lack of participation likely came as a disappointment to some conservatives, who saw Brnovich as the GOP’s best chance to defeat Kelly in the general election. After leading polls for months, Brnovich began to steadily bleed support this spring, particularly after Trump endorsed Masters in early June. Trump has also repeatedly disparaged Brnovich, calling him a “disappointment” for not using his power as Arizona’s top prosecutor to overturn Biden’s 2020 victory in the state.

The debate, which was hosted on Newsmax, did feature former Arizona National Guard leader Mick McGuire, a relative non-factor in the race, as a third participant. Though, McGuire did make his presence known by attacking both Masters and Lamon at the same time. “I’m not sure if self-funding from a California billionaire or yourself is better, but the truth of the matter is we’ve never had a self-funder elected statewide in this state in over 100 years,” McGuire said.

Tina Turner reportedly died without ever having met ‘most’ of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The ‘Queen of Rock n Roll’ is survived by two of her four sons, as well as two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Turner died in her Switzerland home on May 24 at the age of 83 from an undisclosed illness.

Now, Page Six claims the mother of four did not let on to her wider family that she was ”seriously ill” in the lead up to her death.

The music icon’s close friend, Cher, confirmed on social media Turner “was really sick and not wanting people to know about it”, after suffering with illness “for a long time”. 

According to Page Six, the River Deep, Mountain High singer never met her grandchildren and great-grandchildren from her biological son Ronald ‘Ronnie’ Turner and her adoptive son Michael Turner. 

Ronald, the biological son of Tina and Ike Turner, who had an infamously tumultuous marriage shared three children from his marriage to wife Afida Turner.

He died in December 2022 at the age of 62, his wife revealing he had suffered a medical emergency after falling ill in the weeks prior to his death.

In a touching tribute, Turner shared her heartbreak to the world on Instagram. 

“Ronnie, you left the world far too early. In sorrow i close my eyes and think of you, my beloved son,” she wrote.

The singer reportedly didn’t get the chance to meet Ronnie’s two children, Raquel and Randy, nor her granddaughter Raquel’s two sons, Tyson and Tyrese. 

The Proud Mary singer was also the grandmother of Tiffany Turner-Dukes, 40, the daughter of Michael Turner – who Turner adopted, alongside Ike Jr., from her marriage to their father Ike Turner in 1962.

Tiffany is the founder of an anti-bullying non-profit and apparently takes after her grandmother as she is also credited as a musician.

Tiffany, nor her three children Marli, Amari and Gianni, ever met their famous relative in person. However, Tiffany posted a sweet tribute to her late grandmother, writing, “Rest in freedom…Uncle Craig and Ronnie are waiting for you.”

The post references Turner’s loss of both her biological sons Ronnie and Craig, who died before their mother.

Turner shared Craig with saxophonist Raymond Hill, who was in Ike’s band Kings of Rhythm. She had Craig when she was 18 and still in high school.

Craig died by suicide in 2018 at the age of 59.

Turner shared on Twitter that losing her firstborn was her “saddest moment as a mother”. 

During a talk with close friend Oprah Winfrey, the singer shared her disbelief and grief over his death.

“During our last talk, he said, ‘I just want to hear your voice and that laugh.’ He had never said something like that. I think that was his goodbye to me, but I didn’t realise it at the time,” Turner recalled.

Neither Craig nor Ike Jr. had any children.

A royal wedding! Prince William and Princess Kate were among many high-profile guests at Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and Rajwa Al Saif‘s nuptials.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, 40 and 41, respectively, looked chic upon their arrival at the Thursday, June 1, ceremony at Zahran Palace. While William sported a suit, white shirt and blue tie, Kate donned a detailed, blush pink dress with long sleeves and a high neckline by designer Elie Saab. She completed the look with large, bejeweled earrings and a gold clutch.

The couple weren’t the only British royals in attendance. William’s cousin Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, were also seen arriving at the wedding. Edoardo, 39, twinned with William in a similar suit ensemble, while Beatrice, 34, matched her husband’s blue tie with an embroidered, pale blue gown featuring a black belt.

William and Kate previously took a trip to Jordan with their children — Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 — in 2021. They featured a photo from the trip on the family’s Christmas card that year.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have many other ties to Jordan. Crown Prince Hussein’s mother, Queen Rania Al Abdullah, serves on the council of William’s Earthshot Prize, which awards environmentalists around the world for helping to make the world a better place. Kate, meanwhile, lived in the country from 1984 to 1986 while her father, Michael Middleton, worked for British Airways.

The couple’s royal wedding attendance comes nearly two months after the pair celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary. “12 years ❤️,” the two captioned a new photo via their joint Instagram account on April 29, featuring them posing for a pic during a bike ride.

William and Kate’s outfits matched the ones they wore in their family’s 2022 Christmas card. Keeping things casual in jeans, William sported a navy blue button-down shirt while Kate wore a lacy white top.

The duo tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in a red military uniform and white, long-sleeved dress in April 2011. The wedding came 10 years after they first met as students at the University of St Andrews. Two years later, they became parents with the birth of George, followed by Charlotte and Louis in 2015 and 2018, respectively.

Three kids seems to be the perfect number for William. “Don’t give my wife any more ideas!” he joked while Kate was holding a baby during a hospital visit in January 2022.

Last month, the family of five stepped out at King Charles III’s coronation on May 6. While George served as one of his grandfather’s Pages of Honor, the parents matched their looks with their younger two children. Louis’ navy outfit complimented William’s blue royal robes, while Kate and Charlotte twinned in white Alexander McQueen dresses and floral headpieces by Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen.
