- Ex-Trump Pal Geraldo Tells CNN Iran ‘Figured Out’ That ‘Trump Always Chick...
Former Trump pal Geraldo Rivera told the CNN Newsnight crew that Iran called President Donald Trump’s bluff because they “figured out” the whole Trump Always Chickens Out “thing.” The Iran war has been characterized by conflicting messages from the beginning, a trend that has escalated since Trump announced a permanent reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, which lasted a matter of hours. Most recently, Trump said Tuesday morning that he didn’t want to extend the ceasefire, then hours later extended the ceasefire when Iran did not respond to a set of U.S. proposals. On Tuesday’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip hosted a panel that included Ashley Allison, Jason Rantz, Justin Pearson, Lauren Wright, and Rivera. The anchor opened the show with a recap of the developments and asked Geraldo what he made of them: ABBY PHILLIP: All of this happened as a second round of peace talks with Iran was expected to get underway with Vice President JD Vance set to travel to Pakistan. But we are learning that as Air Force One idled on the tarmac ahead of Vance’s scheduled departure, Iran essentially ghosted the United States, telling — his officials told CNN that the White House had sent an initial list of broad deal points that it wanted Iran to agree to before negotiations, but they never received a response. And that then raised questions about whether much of anything could be achieved in person. The big question now is, where does this conflict go from here, and what comes next for the all-important Strait of Hormuz? And this new reporting from CNN, Geraldo, that Iran basically did not answer them at all, and the explanation could be that they are fractured, as President Trump said. But the fact that the threat of a resumption of hostilities wasn’t enough for them to scurry something together, what does that tell you about how much leverage the United States has by continuing to use force as a threat here? GERALDO RIVERA: Well, that’s a great question. I think they called his bluff. I think that the Iranians figured out that the whole TACO thing, the whole Trump always chickens out. You know, they estimated that his bluster, at first it shocked them and frightened them, and then the more they, I guess, became familiar with his M.O., the more they saw that he was all talk. And that I think the… [TheTopNews] Read More.28 mins ago - ‘Weak, Stupid, and Bad’: Trump Rages Against Conservative Supreme Court Just...

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) President Donald Trump raged against the Republican appointees to the Supreme Court in a lengthy Wednesday Truth Social post, accusing them of turning “weak, stupid, and bad.” Trump began by blasting liberal Supreme Court judges and accusing them of sticking together like “glue.” Conservative judges meanwhile, he argued, are handing Democrats “win after win.” “How can the Democrats not like how the U.S. Supreme Court votes. The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, NEVER failing to wander from the warped and perverse policies, ideas, and cases put before them. They ALWAYS vote as a group, or BLOCK, even that new, Low IQ person, that somehow found her way to the bench (Sleepy Joe!),” the president wrote, referring to former President Joe Biden nominating Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Trump himself nominated Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett to the nation’s highest court. Trump specifically mentioned birthright citizenship and tariffs as cases he’s upset about. He claimed “virtually” no other country offers birthright citizenship, though dozens actually do. He wrote: The Republican Justices don’t stick together, they give the Democrats win after win, like a 159 Billion Dollar pile of cash on a completely ridiculous Tariff decision, and nasty, one sided questions on the country destroying subject of Birthright Citizenship, something which virtually NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS STUPID ENOUGH TO ALLOW. It was meant for the babies of slaves, not for the babies of Chinese Billionaires. No, certain “Republican” Justices have just gone weak, stupid, and bad, completely violating what they “supposedly” stood for. Handing over 159 Billion Dollars in Tariff refunds to people who have been Ripping Off our Country for years, is unexplainable. One little sentence would have stopped this record setting payment from having to be made. It is a travesty! Their Tariff decision was an unnecessary and expensive slap in the face to the U.S.A., and a giant victory for its opponents. If they rule against our Country on Birthright Citizenship, which they probably will, it will be even worse, if that’s possible. It will cost America massive amounts of money but, more importantly, it will cost America its DIGNITY! No, the Radical Left Democrats don’t need to “Pack the Court,”… [TheTopNews] Read More.35 mins ago - Colorado Avalanche Fans Celebrated So Hard They Shattered the Glass Behind the L...
Screenshot Tuesday’s playoff game between the Colorado Avalanche and the Los Angeles Kings was stopped when fans shattered a pane of glass behind the Kings’ bench. The Avalanche, up 1-0 in the series, hosted the Kings for Game 2 in Denver’s Ball Arena. With the game still scoreless early in the second period, the Kings were awarded a penalty shot. Kings forward Quinton Byfield took the shot. On the attempt, he faked a shot to get Avalanche goalie Scott Wedgewood to drop to his knees before attempting a backhand to the right. Wedgewood, however, extended his body to his left and made a miraculous save with his glove to keep the game tied at 0. BIG GLOVE SAVE ON THE PENALTY SHOT Take a bow, Scott Wedgewood! #StanleyCup : @espn : @Sportsnet & @TVASports pic.twitter.com/e04bRU6ojn — NHL (@NHL) April 22, 2026 The home crowd was understandably thrilled about Edgewood’s save, and the ensuing celebration got so crazy that fans pounding on the glass actually broke it right behind the Kings’ bench. A replay of the incident showed fans repeatedly hitting the glass until a pane suddenly shattered under the pressure. On the other side of that glass was Avalanche coach D.J. Smith, who quickly recoiled as the glass poured over him.

A report from The Denver Post explained: And cue the weirdest of weird playoff delays. The away bench had to be cleared as cleaning and maintenance crews rushed in to sweep up debris. New glass was installed after a 17-minute delay, during which both teams remained on the ice. The Avalanche went on to win the game 2-1 in overtime to take a 2-0 lead in the series.The post Colorado Avalanche Fans Celebrated So Hard They Shattered the Glass Behind the LA Kings’ Bench first appeared on Mediaite.

(Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images) Former Republican congressman Devin Nunes is out as the CEO of Trump Media — the company that owns Truth Social — after the firm recorded a $712 million net loss in 2025. In a press release, Donald Trump Jr. issued the following statement on behalf of the Board of Directors: I want to thank Devin Nunes for his dedicated service to the Company over the past four years, and congratulate Kevin McGurn on his appointment as Interim CEO. Kevin brings deep experience across media, technology, and capital markets, as well as a strong understanding of Trump Media’s operations and strategic priorities. His familiarity with the Company and alignment with our leadership team uniquely position him to guide Trump Media through this important period. McGurn has been a strategic adviser to the company since late 2024, and was described in the press release as “a seasoned executive with more than two decades of leadership experience across digital media, streaming, telecommunications, and advertising technology” who ” has held senior leadership roles at major media and technology companies and has advised organizations on strategic growth, platform development, and corporate transactions.” In addition to being a board member himself, Trump Jr. also “oversees a trust that controls his father’s 115-million-share stake” in the company, per The New York Times. In a statement of his own, Nunes defended his record at the helm, writing, “After I joined Trump Media in 2022, we experienced one of the longest SPAC merger approval processes in history, went public in March 2024, and oversaw the Company’s expansion over the next two years. During that time, the Company grew from a social media start-up into a public company with a multi-billion dollar valuation, increasing its financial assets from approximately $200 million when the merger closed to around $2.5 billion at the end of 2025. Additionally, we achieved positive cash flow for the 2025 calendar year—less than two years after going public. This financial position enabled the Company to implement its mergers and acquisitions strategy.” “Now, having achieved Trump Media’s original mission of giving the American people their voices back, and with the Company’s future secured through our strong balance sheet, it’s an appropriate time for Kevin McGurn, a Trump Media advisor with deep experience in media, mergers, and acquisitions, to take over the Company’s leadership and steer Trump Media through its current transition… [TheTopNews] Read More.52 mins ago - ‘Lies!’ Scott Jennings Sounds Off on Virginia’s Democratic GerrymanderCNN’s Scott Jennings sounded off about the success of Virginia’s ballot question about mid-decade redistricting on Tuesday night that leaves Old Dominion with only one Republican-leaning congressional district. Jennings left no doubt as to his thoughts about the measure after being asked for his take by anchor Kaitlan Collins. “Virginia had — literally had — the fairest maps in the nation. They had a 6-5 map, six Democrats, five Republicans. In terms of proportional representation, they had the fairest map in the nation that was drawn, by the way, by an independent commission that the voters asked for just a few years ago. Now they will have the least fair maps in the nation and I’m not surprised that the yes vote won: they had all the money and all the lies, and sometimes in politics when you got those two things you can put something over the line, even something as egregious as this,” he submitted. “This whole thing has driven [Virginia Governor Abigail] Spanberger’s approval ratings down into the toilet. She lied to the people of Virginia. They had to write a ballot question that was a joke, they drew maps that were a joke. Now you’re going to have huge chunks of rural Virginia represented by five or six Democrats who all live in northern Virginia within about 15 miles of each other.” “It’s a complete joke, everybody knows it, and there’s a reason that all these national Democrats and all their money came into Virginia because, you know, they don’t really care about the people of Virginia, they just care about power,” added Jennings. The ballot question — which prevailed by about three points — read: “Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?” Watch above via CNN.The post ‘Lies!’ Scott Jennings Sounds Off on Virginia’s Democratic Gerrymander first appeared on Mediaite.

- Daily Show Correspondent Struggles as MAGA Supporters Jump Through Hoops to Defe...Jordan Klepper, a correspondent for The Daily Show, struggled through a series of interviews with MAGA supporters on Tuesday as they jumped through hoops to defend President Donald Trump’s image depicting himself as Jesus Christ. “I can see a lot of people being offended by Trump. Trump’s not perfect,” said one woman after Klepper brought up the president’s controversial Jesus post. After Klepper replied, “He’s not perfect, he’s just literally breaking the very first commandment,” the woman shrugged. Another Trump supporter – who wore a T-shirt that read, “Jesus is My Savior, Trump is My President” – told Klepper, “I don’t think Trump thinks he’s Jesus or anything like that. I think he posted it thinking it was a beautiful picture.” “He posted it because he thought he looked like a doctor,” noted Klepper, referencing the president’s explanation for the post, to which the woman replied, “I see a healer. He’s here to heal the sick. He’s beautiful. He looks like a doctor. Look, he’s got his magic hands.” After Klepper asked, “Do doctors traditionally have magic hands?” another Trump supporter argued, “To you and I, they do. Do you know how to carve somebody up in the stomach and cure whatever, if they have like an intestinal ailment? Can you do that?” “I’m poor with the scalpel, you’re correct,” Klepper acknowledged. Klepper also interviewed a Trump supporter about the president’s public feud with Pope Leo XIV – an interview that left The Daily Show correspondent scratching his head: Supporter: Pope needs to stay– just stay religion. Keep politics out. Klepper: Pope should stay out of politics? Supporter: I believe so, yeah. Klepper: Should politics stay out of religion? Supporter: Uh, yeah. Klepper: Should there be the Ten Commandments in schools? Supporter: Yes. There should be pledge of allegiance in school, there should be– Klepper: Prayer? Supporter: There should be prayer. Klepper: But going back to that whole thing about, “pope, stay away from politics; politics, stay away from religion; Ten Commandments, put it in school.” Are you seeing what I’m seeing? Supporter: Yes, I know what you’re saying. Klepper: It makes me feel crazy.
