- ‘So Damaging!’ Kinzinger Hammers Trump For Being ‘Eager’ to Back Down On...
CNN anchors Brianna Keilar and Boris Sanches spoke to former GOP Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) on Monday following President Donald Trump announcing on social media that he had canceled a planned attack on Iran meant to happen tomorrow. Keilar introduced Kinzinger and asked, “The president has this habit of making these threats about essentially—not even essentially—about destroying Iran and then not following through on them. There are obviously questions about whether he should have made the threats in the first place, but I wonder what your reaction is to him again finding an off-ramp from his threat?” “Yeah, that’s the whole thing. This is so damaging, you know. Regardless of—let’s just be, you know, agnostic on whether he should attack again or not for the moment—when you make threats and then you’re eager to back down from those threats, which he has been every single time,” Kinzinger replied, adding: I mean, he’s gone from “we will destroy an entire civilization” to “we have a deal,” which we never actually had, by the way. Claiming the Strait’s open, claiming it’s closed, claiming he was gonna pull the trigger on May 19th, and now everybody wants him to deal because we’re about to, like, lose all of your strategic strength. One of the greatest things the United States had is our ability to say we will do something. The enemy knows that. And then hopefully we won’t have to do that. This has just been like: threat, back off, threat, back off. And I haven’t seen the Iranians move in any way here. And we find ourselves in the worst-case scenario, which is a closed strait, this nebulous future. And gas is now having to price in, and futures are pricing in the uncertainty. “I wonder if you think that there is a path for the U.S. to somehow exit this situation in a better position than it went in. Is the only way out of this essentially to have this new Persian Gulf Strait Authority that Iran has installed in the Strait of Hormuz intact and to essentially find some form of concession that Iran will accept in order to reopen the strait to their liking?” followed up Sanchez. “Yeah, I mean, that’s what’s crazy. We did go in with overwhelming military power, and now in the White House, they’re trying to figure out what Iran needs to be… [TheTopNews] Read More.19 mins ago - WATCH: Soccer Player Suffers Awkward Full Moon Wardrobe Malfunction While Fallin...A pro soccer player somehow lost his pants when he fell to the ground and in a very bizarre moment during Premier League play. The awkward moment happened when Arsenal faced Burnley at London’s Emirates Stadium on Monday. In the 77th minute, Arsenal’s Piero Hincapié raced to get to the ball before Burnley defender Axel Tuanzebe. When the two collided, Hincapié fell to the ground. Moments later, Hincapié sat up with his shorts sitting below his butt. He then laid back to pull his shorts up — briefly exposing his rear even more — before getting up and resuming play. A replay of the action showed the two players appeared to simply tangle their legs together before the both fell. When Hincapié hit the ground, however, the force of the fall immediately pulled his pants down and exposed his bare butt to the broadcast. “There’s the touch. Is there anything going on?” USA’s Graham Le Seux said. “Not really.” When the wardrobe malfunction occurred, Le Seux joked, “There’s what’s going on.” “The bare-faced cheek of it!” Colleague Jon Champion fired back.

- Trump Urges DOJ to Launch ‘Immediate Investigation’ of 500,000 ‘Illegal’...
(AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) President Donald Trump said he is going to push Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Justice Department to launch an “immediate investigation” into what he called 500,000 “illegal” mail-in ballots being sent out in Maryland. Trump announced he wants the probe in a Truth Social post on Monday afternoon. “In Maryland, they sent out 500,000 Illegal Mail In Ballots, and they got caught!” Trump posted. “So now, they’re going to send out 500,000 more Mail In Ballots, but nobody knows what’s happening with the first 500,000 they sent. In addition, many of these Ballots went to Democrats, so any Republican running in Maryland doesn’t have a chance!” Trump said the “Corrupt” Gov. Wes Moore (D) “allowed this to happen” to make sure Democrats won. He then accused the state of running rigged elections for a long time. “It never made sense to me that Maryland was considered an automatic Democrat State, but now I see why. I’m sure this has gone on for years,” Trump said. “I’m going to ask the Attorney General of the United States, and the DOJ, to bring an immediate investigation into this situation.” WBAL 1090 AM in Baltimore reported on what Trump was referring to on Monday, saying Maryland was resending more than 565,000 mail-in ballots that were printed with an error. Here are more details from the report: The state of Maryland will replace all of the mail-in ballots sent out so far ahead of next month’s primary election. Elections Administrator Jared DeMarinis said Friday night an error caused by the state’s mail-in ballot vendor led some voters to get the wrong party ballot for the primary. DeMarinis said he did not know how many voters received the wrong ballot, so out of an abundance of caution, the state is sending out new ballots to the more than 565,000 people who requested them as of Thursday. Trump also addressed the issue in a Truth Social post last weekend, saying it showed why the SAVE America Act — which would require proof of citizenship to vote — is necessary. “We cannot, as a country, put up with this any longer!!!” Trump posted.The post Trump Urges DOJ to Launch ‘Immediate Investigation’ of 500,000 ‘Illegal’ Mail-In Ballots in Maryland first appeared on Mediaite.

The Department of Justice announced the $1.7 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” earlier Monday after Trump agreed to drop his $10 billion suit against the Internal Revenue Service. Trump had accused the IRS of leaking his tax returns and those of the Trump Organization to the press while serving his first term in office. During a press conference focused on “Teen Takeovers” in Washington, D.C., a reporter began asking, “Given the weaponization announcement today—” when Pirro turned to a colleague behind her and whispered, “What weaponization?” The reporter continued, “Do you think taxpayer money going to people who rioted in the city—” when Pirro cut him off. “I don’t know anything about this,” she said. When he attempted to clarify, Pirro exclaimed, “Yeah, I’m not involved in this. You always ask these out of the — out of my lane questions!” According to the DOJ press release, “The Fund will have the power to issue formal apologies and monetary relief owed to claimants. Submission of a claim is voluntary. There are no partisan requirements to file a claim. Any money left when the Fund ceases operations will revert to the Federal Government. The Fund will receive $1.776 billion and will come from the judgment fund, which is a perpetual appropriation allowing DOJ to settle and pay cases.” Shortly after the announcement, nearly 100 House Democrats filed an amicus brief objecting to the fund, warning of a “specter of corruption unparalleled in American history.” On X, the House Judiciary Dems announced, “93 House Democrats have filed a motion to block Trump’s self-dealing settlement in his sham $10 billion IRS lawsuit, which would create a $1.7 billion slush fund for Jan. 6 rioters and political allies.” BREAKING: 93 House Democrats have filed a motion to block Trump’s self-dealing settlement in his sham $10 billion IRS lawsuit, which would create a $1.7 billion slush fund for Jan. 6 rioters and political allies. https://t.co/OfRvhjeWat pic.twitter.com/ZBI3RfekKO — House Judiciary Dems (@HouseJudiciary) May 18, 2026 The brief, filed in the Southern District of Florida asked Judge Kathleen Williams to dismiss the president’s IRS lawsuit and “closely scrutinize” any potential… [TheTopNews] Read More.56 mins ago

Officers responded to reports of an active shooter at the Islamic Center of San Diego. According to a report from The Associated Press, a local officer identified as Officer Anthony Carrasco said people reported hearing multiple shots. At the time of writing, the number of victims had not been reporting. MS NOW passed along information reported by local NBC station KNSD revealing that two suspected shooters had been killed. Deadline: White House anchor Nicolle Wallace, joined by former FBI Agent Michael Feinberg, said: Actually, let me interrupt you for one second just to share with you and our viewers what we’re able to report about the status of the situation, and then ask you to help us understand what this means. KNSD, local station, is reporting that two suspects are dead. Does that suggest that they’ve moved from active and contained, to some early resolution? Feinberg explained that the update didn’t necessarily mean the situation was resolved, as police didn’t know if there were other possible shooters. Then, Wallace had another update: So this is coming in as as quickly as our reporting suggests. San Diego Police Department is now reporting this: “The threat at the Islamic Center has been neutralized,” and until we have a briefing, we don’t know if what you’re saying that that’s consistent with the two suspects that are dead or if there were more. But it seems that just since we’ve been on the air in the last 10 minutes, they’ve been able to confirm these two pieces of information. Local KNSD reporting that two suspects are dead and the San Diego Police Department saying that the threat at the Islamic Center has been neutralized.
