- Trump DOJ Uses One Todd Blanche Fox Appearance to Correct Another
(Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images) The Trump Justice Department replied to a court filing from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on Tuesday and indirectly conceded that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche made an inaccurate statement on Laura Ingraham’s April 21st Fox News show. In April, Todd announced an 11-count indictment against the SPLC related to allegations of wire fraud, making false statements to financial institutions, and money laundering. The thrust of the DOJ’s complaint against the SPLC revolves around allegations that the SPLC paid informants inside far-right hate groups for information. The SPLC has been a longtime watchdog monitoring and taking legal action against white supremacist organizations. In late April, the SPLC filed two motions against the DOJ, demanding a transcript of grand jury proceedings that led to the indictment and that Blanche retract statements the SPLC argued were lies – including the statement on Ingraham’s program. “There’s no information that we have that suggests that the money they were paying to these informants and these members of these organizations, they then turned around and shared what they learned with law enforcement,” the group quoted Blanche saying to Ingraham in their motion. The DOJ responded by quoting a statement Blanche made to Fox News Sunday’s Shannon Bream on April 26th. “On April 26, 2026, Acting Attorney General Blanche made the following statement on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream, ‘It is true that over the years they have selectively shared information with law enforcement. That’s well-documented and there’s no dispute there. They aren’t charged with any of that conduct.’ To the extent that any clarification was needed, Acting Attorney General Blanche’s remarks on a major Sunday television program certainly suffice,” wrote the DOJ in its reply, suggesting that Blanche contradicting his previous statement was clarification enough.The post Trump DOJ Uses One Todd Blanche Fox Appearance to Correct Another first appeared on Mediaite.

Billionaire hedge-funder Bill Ackman said the Iran War is “a very good one” in an interview with CNBC’s Money Movers. “Iran has been, I think, a major funder of anti-American protests and kind of otherwise,” Ackman told reporter Sara Eisen. “I think that war is a very good one.” “The war is a very good one?” she repeated. “It’s very unpopular, though.” Ackman responded with uncertainty about the war’s popularity. “I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t know which surveys to trust. Look, I think most Republicans, many, support the president, and it shouldn’t be a bipartisan issue, right? You have a nearly nuclear launch-capable Iran that we’ve set back in a very dramatic way. They’ve been a major driver of terrorism around the world, they’re a fierce enemy of the United States, they’ve threatened global shipping, energy, etc., and now the president and our military are getting that under control. It’s something that was hanging out there for many years. It’s a bit like Fannie and Freddie. The president, he doesn’t let stuff linger. It’s generational what he’s doing.” However, Eisen commented on investors’ concerns. “I do think investors, though, are wondering, how does it end?” she said. “When does it end?” Ackman predicted its near conclusion. “I think we’re almost done,” he said. “I think it’s weeks as opposed to many months, a few months as opposed to — it’s not years. This is towards the tail-end of a war.” On whether the conflict has made Ackman think differently about investment opportunities in the Middle East, he said the Middle East has been “reset in a very positive way. It’s not been good to be a terrorist in the last couple of years. … The greatest enemies of democracy in the United States have been set back in a dramatic way.” “I think the Abraham Accords are going to expand kind of meaningfully,” he continued. “I think Iran has shown itself not just to be an enemy of the United States and Israel, right, the first thing they did was they attacked all the other Gulf countries. I think a piece dividend emerges from this. I think we’re hopefully weeks away from a resolution that is going to be very, very favorable not just to the United States but to the globe.”The post Bill Ackman Calls the Iran War ‘A Very Good One’ first appeared on Mediaite.

(Photo Credits: Secular Talk on YouTube and Tom Williams for AP) Progressive podcaster Kyle Kulinski went off on Americans who support President Donald Trump for being “f*cking mental” and “evil” people who want to wreak carnage on the USA. Kulinski delivered his rant on his Secular Talk show on Tuesday. He argued that while the Make America Great Again coalition is “cracking,” it is still a shame that millions of Americans refuse to jump off the MAGA bandwagon. “There’s a solid 32% of the public that are f*cking mental, bro. They are deranged.They are demented. They have lost their minds,” Kulinski rattled off. “And they actively want pain and hurt and devastation and they want evil. They want bad things to happen to people that they don’t like. He added pro-Trump Americans are “the worst of the worst,” but they will “go down with the ship.” Kyle Kulinski on the MAGA cult: “There’s a solid 32% of the public that are fucking mental.

King said Republicans were now in danger of losing their hold on the state, less than two years into Trump’s second term. Kulinski said the only reason Trump was able to win Ohio and states like it is because he “lied” about NAFTA and the threat of globalism. But when it comes to employment fears, Trump’s “only made it worse!” Kulinski yelped, before pointing to Trump’s pro-AI stance and economic policies. He then continued watching King’s report. CNN showed a Foxconn building that is “mostly idle,” King said, despite Trump’s previous calls to save jobs at the plant, which was built on an old General Motors site. “Conned everybody, bro!” Kulinski chimed in. “Conned everybody.” Watch his anti-MAGA rant above, and you can watch his full review of the CNN segment by clicking here.The post ‘They… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - ‘Why Shouldn’t You Go to Jail?’ Conservative Pundit Suggests Cost Overruns...Anti-MAGA conservative Jonah Goldberg suggested the $1 billion taxpayers will pay to secure President Donald Trump’s new White House ballroom will raise tough legal questions for the president, like whether or not he should go to jail for the ballooning cost. Goldberg shared his thoughts during an appearance on CNN’s The Arena with Kasie Hunt on Tuesday. Trump had touted the ballroom would be funded by private donations from companies like Meta and Amazon, but new legislation from Senate Republicans added $1 billion for security enhancements to the project. Goldberg said that could be a problem for Trump, since he bashed outgoing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for spending too much dough on the Fed building renovation. Trump late last year said he was aiming to sue Powell because the cost was north of $4 billion — about $1.5 billion more than projected. The Justice Department launched a criminal investigation into Powell weeks later; Powell said he was being targeted as a “consequence” for not adhering to the president’s demands to lower rates. That probe was recently dropped. “They just tried to put a guy in jail for construction overruns on the cost of the Federal Reserve building. And now he’s talking about how it’s going up to $1 billion,” Goldberg said on Tuesday. “So like, at some point, those sound bites are going to be the next segment on The Arena where they’re going to say, like, ‘Why shouldn’t you go to jail for cost overruns?’ Host Kasie Hunt found that pretty funny. “My producers are probably working on that right now, actually,” she quipped. Goldberg then went on to say there is a “good argument to build a new State-of-the-art Bat Cave underneath the ballroom.” But he said the problem is Trump “lied” about it, just like he “lied” about the Iran war and the operation that kidnapped Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela. Trump has argued the ballroom must be built, especially after the latest assassination attempt against him at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last month.

- Trump Administration Sues The New York Times Over Alleged Discrimination Against...
Brian Zak/Sipa Press (via AP) President Donald Trump‘s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a federal lawsuit against The New York Times, alleging the outlet has participated in hiring and promotion practices that discriminate against white men. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Tuesday, brings claims on behalf of a white man who alleges that his race and sex factored into his denial for a promotion at the newspaper in early 2025, a violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He had reportedly been working at the paper as an editor since 2014. According to a press release from the EEOC, The New York Times excluded “a white man with extensive experience in real estate journalism, out of its final panel interviews for a vacant Deputy Real Estate Editor position” and “every candidate who advanced through to the final interview process was not a white male.” “The company ultimately hired an outside candidate for the role — a non-white female with little to no experience in real estate journalism, despite such experience being a requirement for the real estate editor position,” the press release states. “Further, the hiring manager greenlit this external candidate for inclusion in the final interview panel without her first going through the standard interview processes for the position. Moreover, The New York Times selected this candidate for the position despite the company’s own final interview panel rating her less favorably than two other final candidates.” EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas said the commission will not “pull punches” in the enforcement of Title VII under her leadership, in a quote shared within the press release. “No one is above the law — including ‘elite’ institutions,” she said. “There is no such thing as ‘reverse discrimination’; all race or sex discrimination is equally unlawful, according to long-established civil rights principles. The EEOC is prepared to root out discrimination anywhere it may rear its head. No matter the size or power of the employer, the EEOC under my leadership will not pull punches in ensuring evenhanded, colorblind enforcement of Title VII to protect America’s workers, including white males. Federal law is clear: making hiring or promotion decisions motivated in whole or in part by race or sex violates federal law. There is no diversity exception to this rule.” In an article about the lawsuit released Tuesday afternoon by The New York Times,… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
