Washington Post X screenshot A plaque honoring police who defended the U.S. Capitol from January 6 rioters has finally been installed just steps from where the armed crowd broken into the building seeking to overturn Donald Trump’s election loss by force. The memorial plaque, that was approved by Congress and required by law to be installed by March 2023, was finally bolted to the wall of the Capitol by an overnight work crew early Saturday morning. Washington Post reporter Olivia George eloquently described the scene: In the predawn darkness Saturday, around 4 a.m., staff with the Architect of the Capitol bolted the bronze plaque to a granite wall near an entrance on the west front, close to where the armed crowd had amassed and scaled scaffolding set up for the inauguration. They wheeled the plaque, stored in plywood, across the stone basement floor and guided it through the double doors. They raised the tribute with a jack table and began bolting it to the wall, the clang of their tools ringing out through otherwise empty hallways. “Here’s the scene at 4:15am,” George posted to X. “The employees stepped away to get a tool. They checked again & again to get the plaque straight—extra tricky because apparently the floor isn’t level here. Next they added a nearby QR code. It links to names of officers who served. 45 pages of names.” Here’s the scene at 4:15am The employees stepped away to get a tool.

Their heroism will never be forgotten.” The words are followed by the names “of almost two dozen local, state and federal law enforcement agencies including the D.C. police, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Capitol Police, the National Guard and the Maryland and Virginia state police,” George wrote. “The quiet installation…marks the latest turn in the contested effort to remember Jan. 6, as… [TheTopNews] Read More.25 mins ago - Trump Tells UK’s Starmer Thanks But No Thanks on Last-Minute Iran Help: War Is...

(Photo Credit: Stefan Rousseau / Press Association via AP Images) President Donald Trump told British Prime Minister Keir Starmer his help is not needed in the war against Iran on Saturday, saying “We don’t need people that join wars after we’ve already won!” The president essentially told Starmer “thanks, but no thanks” for considering sending the United Kingdom’s two active aircraft carriers to the Middle East to help the U.S. and Israel with Operation Epic Fury. Trump posted the following on Truth Social about it: The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP His post came shortly after the BBC reported the HMS Prince of Wales was “placed on advanced readiness” and could be deployed in a matter of days. The UK has been reluctant to back the U.S. attacks on Iran so far, with British Secretary of State for Defense John Healey declining multiple times to say whether his country supported the U.S. and Israel’s strikes earlier this week. Starmer said his country would allow the U.S. to use certain British military bases, after initially blocking the Trump administration from doing so last week. Trump’s post on Saturday comes a week after joint U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of other leaders from its theocratic regime. The president said on Friday there will be no peace deal with Iran until there is an “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” and the country selects a “GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s).” “Their army is gone, their navy is gone, their communications are gone, their leaders are gone — two sets of leaders are gone, they’re down to their third set,” he said. “Their air force is wiped out entirely… other than that, they’re doing very well.” Israeli President Isaac Herzog told Fox News on Saturday he does not anticipate Israeli troops landing in Iran — and he said he does not expect an American invasion, either.The post Trump Tells UK’s Starmer Thanks But No Thanks on Last-Minute Iran Help: War Is… [TheTopNews] Read More.32 mins ago - Charlamagne tha God Argues ‘Compromised’ Trump Attacked Iran Because He Is â...
Radio star Charlamagne tha God argued President Donald Trump attacked Iran because he is “beholden” to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He made the claim on Saturday while talking about the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of other leaders from Iran’s theocratic regime last week. He was discussing the strikes on the latest episode of his Brilliant Idiots podcast, which he co-hosts alongside comic Andrew Schulz. “What’s sad is when the whole world and Americans are looking at the situation and we know the reason [for the strikes] — because you’re beholden to Bibi Netanyahu,” Charlamagne said. “We don’t know why. We don’t know if it’s because you’re getting paid allegedly. We just know you’re compromised in some way.” He’s not the only public figure who claimed Trump was being forced into war by Israel this week. Tucker Carlson argued the war was being “waged purely because Israel wanted it to be waged,” and Megyn Kelly said it was “clearly Israel’s war.” Trump said it was ridiculous to think Israel forced the U.S. to attack Iran when he was asked about it on Tuesday — and said if anything, it was the other way around. “No, I might’ve forced their hand,” Trump told ABC’s Rachel Scott. “You see, we were having negotiations with these lunatics and it was my opinion that they were going to attack first, they were going to attack first. They were going to attack if we didn’t do it. They were going to attack first, I felt strongly about that.” Trump continued, “If anything, I might’ve forced Israel’s hand.” Both Charlamagne and Schulz were not enthusiastic about Operation Epic Fury on their Saturday show. Schulz said he was he was initially under the impression that “Maybe we are going to prioritize not having boots on the ground in a foreign country and try to bomb them into regime change, which has never happened in the history of the world.” He apparently is not familiar with the U.S. dropping two nuclear bombs on Japan to end World War II. Both hosts felt the Trump administration started the Iran attacks with “no plan,” and Charlamagne said democracy is “very shaky” in the U.S. right now. Schulz quipped Iranians “don’t want this version!” of democracy, if that’s what they get following the ayatollah’s death.

During a press gaggle aboard Air Force One on the way to the Shield of Americas summit in Florida, a reporter asked, “Did the United States bomb a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran in the first day of the war and kill 175 people?” “No, in my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran,” Trump said. The reporter followed up with a question for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, asking “Is that true, Mr. Hegseth, that it was Iran who did that?” “We’re investigating,” Hegseth said, before backing Trump’s assumption. “But, the only the only side that targets civilians is Iran,” Hegseth maintained. Trump interjected, “We figure it was done by Iran, because they’re very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever. It was done by Iran.” Trump’s assertion contradicts both The Wall Street Journal and Reuters reports that U.S. forces were “likely responsible” for the Feb. 28 strike. The Journal reported Friday, “U.S. military investigators think American forces likely were responsible for a strike that killed dozens of children at a girls elementary school in Iran, a U.S. official said. The investigation hasn’t reached a final conclusion, the official said.” The report continued, “Shajarah Tayyebeh Girls’ School, in the town of Minab near the Strait of Hormuz, was hit Saturday on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli air campaign in what appears to be the deadliest strike of the war. Iran said more than 160 people were killed, including many children, a figure that couldn’t be independently verified.” Reuters cited “two U.S. officials,” for its report Thursday, adding, “Reuters was unable to determine more details about the investigation, including what evidence contributed to the tentative assessment, what type of munition was used, who was responsible or why the U.S. might have struck the school.” If true, this is horrific news–and the U.S. military will have to address this publicly. Proximity of military compound obviously a factor, but our weapons also have pinpoint accuracy.

- DHS Blasts Texas Democrat for Complaining About ICE Arresting Immigration Report...The Department of Homeland Security blasted Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) for falling for one of the media’s “obvious hoaxes” on Saturday when he complained about a Univision reporter who was arrested by ICE earlier this week. Castro said the reporter — Estefany Rodriguez — was arrested without a warrant on Wednesday. “She is an asylum seeker, has valid work permits, and is married to a U.S. citizen,” Castro posted on X. “Her detention exposes the Trump Admin’s machine of cruelty that is attacking the free press and violating our rights. This lawlessness and cruelty must end.” DHS responded to Castro with its own X post, saying the Texas Democrat was pushing “FALSE” info. “Here’s the warrant. It’s embarrassing when sanctuary politicians fall for these obvious hoaxes peddled by the media,” the DHS account posted. “We look forward to you correcting the record. Next time ask us and we will get you the facts.” THIS IS FALSE. Here’s the warrant. It’s embarrassing when sanctuary politicians fall for these obvious hoaxes peddled by the media. We look forward to you correcting the record. Next time ask us and we will get you the facts. https://t.co/h3ECpz5NSF pic.twitter.com/ZeHxOZoik5 — Homeland Security (@DHSgov) March 7, 2026 The post included a picture of the warrant. It said there was probable cause to remove Rodriguez for three reasons: The failure to establish admissibility subsequent to deferred inspection Biometric confirmation of the subject’s identity and a records check of federal databases that affirmatively indicate, by themselves or in addition to other reliable information, that the subject either lacks immigration status or notwithstanding such status is removable under U.S. immigration law; and/or Statements made voluntarily by the subject to an immigration officer and/or other reliable evidence that affirmatively indicate the subject either lacks immigration status or notwithstanding such status is removable under U.S. immigration law Several reports — including one local NBC report from WSMV 4 in Nashville that is included at the top of this story — had said there was no warrant for Rodriguez’s arrest. Rodriguez has been covering President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration for Nashville Noticias and Univision 42 Nashville. ICE said Rodriguez is an illegal immigrant from Colombia who entered the U.S. on a two-week tourist visa in March 2021. Rodriguez has no lawful status to remain in the U.S. and has failed… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- ‘Out of Respect’: Networks Play Video of Dignified Transfer For 6 US Soldier...CNN aired pre-taped video of the dignified transfer of six U.S. soldiers killed in Kuwait without additional audio on Saturday, “out of respect for the service members.” The White House did not broadcast the event live in an act of respect to the lost soldiers’ families. CNN’s Jessica Dean introduced the scene at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, saying, “We want to go now to the dignified transfer of the six U.S. Soldiers killed in Kuwait. Each soldier will be transferred to a separate vehicle, and I do want to give you a quick note. There’s not expected to be any audio, but out of respect, I will not be talking…while the service members are being transferred. So let’s watch now. Now again, you’ll be watching this in full and you will not hear me. Out of respect for these service members.” The video showed members of the Trump administration, including President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, First Lady Melania Trump, Second Lady Usha Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Attorney General Pam Bondi saluting the fallen or standing with their hands over their hearts as the flag-draped coffins were escorted past. The service members killed in the March 1 drone strike during Operation Epic Fury have been identified as Maj. Jeffrey R. O’Brien, 45, of Waukee, Iowa; Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, 54, of Sacramento, California; Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; and Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa. Both MS NOW and Fox News gave solemn commentary during the dignified transfer, punctuated with moments of silence. Earlier Saturday at the Shield of Americas Summit in Florida, Trump addressed the fallen soldiers: A very sad situation to greet the families of the heroes coming home from Iran. Coming home in a different manner than they thought they would be coming home. They are great heroes in our country we are going to keep it that way. As always, when it comes to war there is always that.
