- ‘You F*cking Piece of Sh*t!’ Red Sox Coach Goes Ballistic on Umpire
Boston Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey was ejected after he went ballistic on an umpire on Thursday night. The Red Sox hosted the New York Yankees at Fenway Park and led 6-3 going into the top of the ninth inning. Aroldis Chapman, the former Yankee, came on to try to shut the door on his old team. Leading off the inning, Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe tried to check his swing on a 2-1 slider that was called a ball. Red Sox catcher Carlos Narvaez appealed to first base umpire Tyler Jones, who ruled Volpe did not swing. But a replay indicated the batter clearly offered at the pitch. Jones immediately got an earful from Bailey and Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy from the first base dugout. “That was awful, by the way,” said Red Sox color commentator Will Middlebrooks as the replay appeared on screen. “You rarely see Chad Tracy get that fired up. Look how far out front that bat was. He just flat-out missed it.” Volpe swung and missed on the 3-1, but walked on the next pitch, at which point Bailey got on the top step of the dugout, yelled at Jones, who promptly ejected him. A subsequent, slow-motion replay of Bailey showed the coach yelling at Jones, “You f*cking piece of sh*t! That’s f*cking bullsh*t!” The Yankees proceeded to load the bases but failed to score, and the Red Sox held on to win. Boston remains in last place in the American League East with a 33-46 record. New York leads the division by two games. Watch above via New England Sports Network.The post ‘You F*cking Piece of Sh*t!’ Red Sox Coach Goes Ballistic on Umpire first appeared on Mediaite.

Aiden Clark, an 11-year-old Springfield, Ohio, boy, was killed in a 2023 school bus crash with a car driven by a Haitian immigrant. As his son’s death became a rallying point in anti-immigrant rhetoric, Aiden’s father, Nathan Clark, repeatedly urged people to stop using his son’s memory to spread hate, declaring, “We do not want our son’s name to be associated with hate.” “One case,” emphasized Boykin on Thursday. “You’re gonna kick out 350,000 people because of one case?” “He killed a child,” said Sunshine. “Is that making America better? I don’t think that’s my definition of making America better.” “You’re gonna kick out 350,000 people because of one stereotype? What about all the white people who commit crime in this country? You’re gonna kick them out of this country too?” asked Boykin. “You know what, your comment is just as racist as Donald Trump’s comment. The idea that you focus on one Haitian person and use that as justification for a racist foreign policy is disgusting. It’s abhorrent.” “It’s disgusting that an 11-year-old was killed by a Haitian migrant who rammed his car into a bus,” responded Sunshine. “That is disgusting.” “That shows exactly what MAGA is made of,” concluded Boykin. “It’s made of racism.” Watch the full clip above via CNN.The post ‘Disgusting!’ CNN Guest Slams Conservative’s ‘Abhorrent’ Views on Immigrants first appeared on Mediaite.

- Jesse Watters Insists, ‘It’s Funny That the President’s Middle Name Was Hu...Fox News’ Jesse Watters insisted “it’s funny” that former President Barack Obama’s “middle name was Hussein” in Thursday’s edition of The Five. The subject of discussion was a Wednesday podcast appearance, during which Obama said he finds President Donald Trump’s “obsession” with him to be a “strange” thing. “I obviously have a room in his head. A suite in his head,” the former president said on the All the Smoke podcast. “Trump talks a lot,” said Watters on Thursday. “He says a lot of things. So yeah, he’s gonna mention Barack Hussein Obama. Part of that is just he likes to say ‘Hussein.'” “Why does he like to say Hussein?” interjected co-host Jessica Tarlov. “‘Cause it’s funny that the president’s middle name was Hussein,” responded Watters. “You don’t think that’s hysterical?” “No, I don’t,” said Tarlov. “I think it’s interesting in the context of saying that he’s a Muslim, which is why he says it, so that people still think he’s a Muslim.” “Well, he did say he was Muslim,” said Watters, “and then he cleaned it up. Remember that NBC interview? He said, ‘My Muslim faith.’ I don’t know what he is. I don’t care what he is. He’s probably an atheist.” “You know what he is!” insisted Tarlov. “He is, I know. He’s retired,” conceded Watters. Since the beginning of his political career, Obama has faced questions about his religion. NBC News covered a 2008 campaign rally of his in South Carolina, emphasizing that while “his father and stepfather were Muslim… [Obama] attended secular and Catholic schools.” “I’ve been to the same church — the same Christian church — for almost 20 years,” Obama said at the rally in question. “I was sworn in with my hand on the family Bible. Whenever I’m in the United States Senate, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. So if you get some silly e-mail … send it back to whoever sent it and tell them this is all crazy. Educate.” Watch the full clip above via Fox News.The post Jesse Watters Insists, ‘It’s Funny That the President’s Middle Name Was Hussein’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘It’ll Be an Absolute Shellacking’: Thomas Massie Predicts Republican Wipe...Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said his party will be in a world of hurt in November’s midterm elections “if we don’t wake up.” On Wednesday, President Donald Trump canceled a signing ceremony for the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which aims to lower housing costs and increase the supply of homes. The president has insisted that before he signs the bill, the Senate must pass the SAVE Act, a voter registration law that Trump says will address rampant voter fraud, evidence for which is nonexistent. If Trump does not sign the legislation within 10 days, it will become law, unless Congress is adjourned, in which case, the bill is automatically vetoed. He could also veto the bill outright. The SAVE Act lacks the necessary 60 votes in the Senate to clear a procedural hurdle called cloture, and Trump has urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to eliminate this rule. Doing so would require 51 votes, but Thune has said the votes are not there. On Thursday, Massie, who is serving out his term after losing his primary to a Trump-backed challenger, said Trump’s demand makes no sense. “I think it’s ironic that we control the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the White House, and we’re yelling election fraud?” Massie said outside the Capitol. “I mean, we won all the damn elections and we’re in charge. And what are we doing with it? … The problem is we’re wasting our opportunity that the voters gave us. And the Republicans are going to pay for that in November. It’ll be an absolute shellacking if they don’t wake up.” Massie has already filed to potentially run for House again. “I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race,” Massie announced last month. “This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office. I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.” Watch above via CNN.The post ‘It’ll Be an Absolute Shellacking’: Thomas Massie Predicts Republican Wipeout ‘If They Don’t Wake Up’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- FEMA Official Who Claimed He Teleported To Waffle House Gets Beamed Out of Agenc...
Screenshot via C-SPAN The FEMA official who claimed he once teleported to a Waffle House has been ousted from the agency, CNN reported on Thursday. In March, CNN’s KFile team — Andrew Kaczynski, Em Steck, and Gabe Cohen — reported that Gregg Phillips, the head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery, had a disturbing history of violent political rhetoric and even claims of teleporting to a Waffle House. Phillips wildly recalled in a January 2025 podcast: I was with my boys one time and I was telling them I was gonna go to Waffle House and get Waffle House. And I ended up at a Waffle House – this was in Georgia and I end up at a Waffle House like 50 miles away from where I was. And they said, “where are you?” and I said, “A Waffle House.” And “a Waffle House where?” And I said, “Waffle House in Rome, Georgia.” And they said, “That’s not possible, you just left here a moment ago.” But it was possible. It was real… Teleporting is no fun. It’s no fun because you don’t really know what you’re doing. You don’t really understand it, it’s scary, but yet – but so real. Now, according to CNN’s Kaczynski and Cohen, he’s been “pushed out” of FEMA. While the Department of Homeland Security maintained that Phillips was only “taking leave for personal reasons,” sources told the outlet otherwise. “New DHS leadership had grown weary of the embarrassment surrounding Phillips’ public image and of his periodic clashes with the department’s other leaders,” CNN wrote. Per a FEMA statement to The Washington Post, which first reported on Phillips’ departure, the former official “has played a pivotal role in stabilizing the Office of Response and Recovery and advancing key reforms to strengthen our mission delivery.” Additionally, the Post wrote that a senior official who left FEMA earlier this year, David Arnold, will come back to take Phillips’ post in an acting capacity.The post FEMA Official Who Claimed He Teleported To Waffle House Gets Beamed Out of Agency first appeared on Mediaite. [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago - World Cup Pride Match Scheduled in Seattle Will Be Iran vs. Egypt, And They’re...

When Seattle was granted a World Cup match for this month — June is Pride Month — the host committee made plans to show support for the LGBTQ+ community with a “Pride Match Day.” And then FIFA drew Iran and Egypt for that spot in the schedule. Neither country is happy about it. A spokesperson for the Iran national team voiced loud criticism of the “Pride Match Day” without mentioning it or the LGBTQ+ community by name, issuing a statement to The Athletic that merely referred to “this movement”: The Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran takes this matter seriously and has clearly communicated its position to FIFA. Iran and Egypt are two Muslim countries with deep cultural and religious commonalities, and the views expressed by both federations reflects the values and beliefs shared by the people of both countries. Our position is that no ceremonies, or promotional activities associated with this movement should be present inside the stadium or as part of the match environment. This position has been communicated to FIFA through the appropriate channels. We believe FIFA should take into account the views and concerns of the participating teams when considering matters related to the match environment and stadium presentation. FIFA has been informed of this shared position by both countries and is expected to take the necessary steps to ensure that no related ceremonies or promotional activities take place within the stadium or as part of the official match environment. The Athletic’s report noted that the Iranian spokesperson also said that the government “has relayed to FIFA that it does not wish to see symbols or representations of the ‘movement’ within the stadium,” but FIFA has confirmed that it views the World Cup as an “inclusive event” and will permit rainbow flags at all its matches throughout North America this year. The Egyptian Football Association expressed similar objections in its own statement, declaring it would refuse to participate in “the holding of any activities related to supporting homosexuality” during its match against Iran, because this “directly contradicts with the cultural, religious and social values in the region, especially in the Arabic and Islamic communities.” The plans for Pride Match Day were conceived by the Seattle host committee before Iran and Egypt were named in the draw for the game last December.… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago
