- Nithya Raman Leapfrogs Spencer Pratt, Projected to Advance in LA Mayor’s Race
(Photos: Jill Connelly and Jae C. Hong) Spencer Pratt’s (R) seemingly cozy lead on Los Angeles city council member Nithya Raman (D) in the city’s mayoral race has been erased. Raman jumped ahead of Pratt on Sunday, after the latest batch of counted ballots showed the democratic socialist now has a roughly 3,000 vote edge on the ex-reality TV star. Decision Desk HQ projected Raman will now advance in the race and face incumbent Mayor Karen Bass (D) in November.

The party got pretty lively as the margaritas were flowing at Pratt HQ last week. Even Raman seemed pessimistic about her odds when she teared up while addressing her supporters on Election Night. But the late arriving ballots that have been counted in the days since then have largely favored her over Pratt and helped her leapfrog him. Pratt on Sunday suggested there is something rotten in the state of Denmark — or in the city of LA, more accurately. Pratt posted an article saying there were 43,699 homeless people in LA, along with the following caption: “A net swing of more than 43,000 votes since Tuesday..” 43,000, huh? Where have I seen that number before… ? Probably nothing. "A net swing of more than 43,000 votes since Tuesday.." 43,000, huh? Where have I seen that number before…?

Fox News host Mark Levin questioned why President Donald Trump was “turning” on Israel by reportedly telling Benjamin Netanyahu by phone on Sunday not to retaliate against Iran. Levin is a staunch supporter of Israel who has pushed for aggressive U.S. actions against Iran. He was highly critical of Trump’s leaked phone call this week where the president berated Netanyahu over Israel’s threats to resume airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, which is exactly what Netanyahu did. Sunday’s Iranian strikes against Israel was in direct response to its hits on Hezbollah in Lebanon. Trump told Axios reporter Barak Ravid after Iran shot waves of ballistic missiles toward Israel on Sunday, “I am going to call Netanyahu right now and tell him not to strike back.” Ravid shared more quotes from his phone call with Trump saying, “The Iranian missile fire didn’t hit anyone. I hope Israel doesn’t respond. If Bibi attacks them back, it’ll just drag on like it has for the past 47 years, or the past 3,000 years.’” “Trump added: ‘We’re very close to a final deal with Iran. It’ll be a good deal. I don’t want it to blow up because of what’s happening now,'” Ravid wrote on X. More quotes from my phone call with president Trump: “The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody.

That’s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.” Levin, a staunch zionist who has called Trump “The First Jewish President” due to his close ties with Netanyahu, appeared to view Trump’s desire for Bibi to hold fire as a betrayal. “Why are we turning on Israel and Netanyahu tonight? Wow,” Levin posted. Why are we turning on Israel and Netanyahu tonight? Wow. — Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) June 7, 2026 Levin also shared a clip on Sunday of Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously stating, “Only stupid countries don’t shoot back when you’re shot at.” That answer initially justified the U.S. military’s retaliation against Iranian forces in the Strait of Hormuz following strikes on U.S.… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Trump Declares Israel Has ‘No Choice’ But to Accept Any Iran Deal He Makes: ...
President Donald Trump said Israel has “no choice” but to accept whatever peace deal he strikes with Iran during an interview with the Financial Times on Sunday. The president said Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu — his longtime ally and friend — has no say in the matter, either. “I call the shots. I call all the shots,” Trump told FT. “[Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.” That interview came soon after Iran hit Israel with missiles for the first time since the fragile ceasefire has been in place. Axios reporter Barak Ravid posted to X that Trump told him “I am going to call Netanyahu right now and tell him not to strike back.” Trump also lamented to Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst that “this takes place” — meaning the missile attacks — right as a deal is on the verge of being agreed to. The president told Yingst he believed a deal could happen as soon as Monday. Yingst reported: As I was speaking with the president, out the window I could see some incoming missiles headed toward the northern part of this country. The IDF says they were down the majority of incoming fire, but the president telling Fox News it is certainly not going to help negotiations. I asked him if he had a message for the Iranian regime. He said, “What I would suggest to Iran, you’ve shot your missiles. That’s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.” Trump told FT the strikes on Israel will not sabotage any deal progress he’s made. “It’s not going to have any impact on the deal,” Trump said. “We’ll see how it ends up. But [the strikes] were attacks that did not kick at all. It’s one of those things that’s been going for 3,000 years, or 47 years, depending on how you count.” Trump’s comments about Israel and Netanyahu come after many critics have claimed Israel forced the U.S. to go to war against Iran. For example, Tucker Carlson claimed Israel was “in charge” of the U.S., and that the war was being “waged” strictly on behalf Israel; Megyn Kelly similarly argued American troops had died in “Israel’s war” against Iran. The president has scoffed at those claims. “If anything, I might’ve forced Israel’s hand,” Trump said in March.

(AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson) President Donald Trump’s planned UFC fight on the White House South Lawn to mark his 80th birthday — as well as America’s 250th — could be K.O.’d if some Virginia residents get their way. UFC chief Dana White is reportedly footing the bill for the $60 million octagon extravaganza that’s currently being built on the lawn of the People’s House. “This will be one of the greatest and most historic sports events in history, and President Trump hosting it at the White House is a testament to his vision to celebrate America’s monumental 250th anniversary,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle told The Hollywood Reporter. But a last-minute federal lawsuit filed Saturday by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of two Virginia residents is seeking to put the June 14th mixed martial arts event on ice. Politico reported that the Trump administration’s approval of the event “violated National Park Service regulations prohibiting sporting events on federal parklands.” In addition, the filing argues that Congress “did not consent to the towering arch overlooking the event space,” and that “no environmental review was conducted before the construction.” A lawyer for the plaintiffs called the event “fundamentally a private, commercial, corrupt use of our most sacred national monuments for private gain. And that is what is motivating this lawsuit.” In a statement, The White House claimed the the legal challenge was “an obstructionist, baseless, and dilatory” attempt to prevent the fight, arguing that it’s “no different than the various other White House-hosted events on the South Lawn and properly permitted events on the Ellipse and National Mall throughout the year.” Neither White nor UFC immediately responded to Politico’s request for comment Sunday. Meanwhile, crews have been erecting the octagon-shaped cage that Trump has said will feature “a 5,000-seat arena right outside the front door of the White House.” Crews are also placing large screens at the nearby Ellipse for overflow viewing. The UFC has said it plans to issue 85,000 free tickets to accommodate what they expect to be a large influx of spectators.The post Last-Minute Lawsuit Tries to Knock Out Trump’s UFC Event at White House first appeared on Mediaite.

Correspondent Gloria Pazmino reported she spoke to a number of fans who were “very disappointed” they will not be able to watch the game on a giant screen outside MSG on Monday, with the watch party getting canceled due to security concerns. CNN then rolled footage of her woman-on-the-street interviews. “He could say he’s a native New Yorker, but he doesn’t live here and he’s kind of pooped on us for a while,” fan Ross Meyerson said, while donning an orange Knicks shirt and hat. “I think this is our time and he’s distracting from our time.” NYK fan Janay Sanders then griped “we don’t need that negativity. We need nothing but positive vibes.” That followed another Knicks fan named Lance Thompson telling CNN it was a “shame” Trump’s attendance meant the watch party was scrapped. One fan at least had a positive attitude about it. Mally Wiggerton said it was a “monumental day” for NYC and that “real New Yorkers” would “find a way” to enjoy the game, one way or another. Those fans weren’t the only New Yorkers who have complained about Trump going to the game, either. ESPN star Stephen A. Smith vented he didn’t want Trump there because he could ruin “the vibe” around the city and team. Trump’s announcement that he will attend the third NBA Finals game has drawn a fair amount of attention. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) attempted to mock Trump’s Knicks fandom recently — only to brick her quip. Hochul said she’d like to see Trump name the starting lineup “from the 1993 championship team”… but the problem is the Knicks did not win the title that year. Any semi-knowledgable hoops fan — and especially a Knicks fan — could tell you the last time New York won the championship was in 1973. Trump later posted an AI-generated picture of him donning a Knicks jersey and dunking all over Hochul. And Mamdani was asked this week whether or not Knicks fans should boo Trump at the Garden; Mamdani dodged the question. “I think one of the things that I’ve learned is don’t give advice to other Knicks fans. they will make their own decisions,” Mamdani said. “I haven’t given anybody advice on how to respond… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago
- Trump Reacts to Iran Firing Missiles Into Israel in Phoner With Fox’s Yingst: ...President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Fox News reporter Trey Yingst Sunday, shortly after Iran began firing waves of ballistic missiles toward Israel. “I just got off the phone with President Trump to get his reaction to the ongoing missile attack,” Yingst said. “As I was speaking with the president, out the window I could see some incoming missiles headed toward the northern part of this country. The IDF says they were down the majority of incoming fire, but the president telling Fox News it is certainly not going to help negotiations. I asked him if he had a message for the Iranian regime. He said, ‘What I would suggest to Iran, you’ve shot your missiles. That’s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.'” Yingst continued: And President Trump indicated in our conversation that negotiations with Iran were progressing toward a possible deal as early as Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming week. He told me, “And now, this takes place.” The president will likely be briefed in the hours ahead bout what is happening right now, this exchange of fire at that again started earlier today with the Israelis striking the Lebanese capital of Beirut in response to Hezbollah attacks against their country. So, there’s been this back-and-forth taking place. But I asked President Trump if there was coordination with the Israelis regarding the strikes in…southern Beirut today. He told me there’s not coordination with Israel and added he was not happy about it. Yingst also posted to social media about his conversation with Trump. As I was speaking with President Trump, I could see incoming Iranian missiles out the window soaring toward northern Israel.
