- The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur Banned From Entering United Kingdom
(Photo Credit: The Young Turks on YouTube) The Young Turks’ chief pundit and co-founder Cenk Uygur was barred from entering the United Kingdom over government concerns his presence would not be “conducive to the public good,” The Times reported on Sunday. Uygur was set to appear at the SXSW London festival later this week. But British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood decided the leftist commentator was not fit to enter the country, due in part to his rants against Israel. The Times reported: The decision to block Uygur from travelling to the UK is understood to have been based on several grounds, including fears that his presence would risk exacerbating antisemitism due to his rhetoric since the October 7 attacks in 2023. This has included repeating classic antisemitic tropes, such as the claim that Israel controls America. He falsely claimed on his podcast in July last year that the Israeli lobby gave more to Congress than any other. Uygur confirmed he was banned from entering the UK in an X post on Sunday. He said it was for “criticizing Israel.” “Are we free anymore?” he continued. “This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!” I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country! — Cenk Uygur (@cenkuygur) May 31, 2026 His nephew, popular streamer and former TYT commentator Hasan Piker, said he was banned from entering the UK as well during a livestream on Sunday. “I didn’t want to talk about it, but uh, my visa has also been revoked,” Piker said. “We just found out… I don’t know who to reach-out for this.” Piker has made headlines for a number of claims over the years, including saying America “deserved” to be attacked on September 11. He has also called Hamas “the lesser of two evils” when comparing the terrorist organization and Israel. And last month during an appearance on Pod Save America, Piker branded the Republican Party the “biggest domestic terrorist” organization and the “biggest terrorist internationally.” The post The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur Banned From Entering United Kingdom first appeared on Mediaite.

Independent journalist Nick Shirley said it is too risky for him to report on certain topics now because the “left-wing media” put a “target” on his back following his viral report on suspected widespread fraud in Minnesota last year. Shirley talked about his reporting during an interview on The Big Weekend Show on Fox News on Sunday. Co-host Tomi Lahren said towards the end of the segment that Shirley told her off-camera that it was “too dangerous” for him to report on anti-ICE protests that happened in New Jersey this weekend. Shirley said that was true, since the mainstream press had turned him into Public Enemy Number 1 for liberal activists. “Because of what the left-wing media did to me when I exposed this broad — even Gov. Tim Walz called me a white supremacist and all these other people called me racist, which is completely not true. But the radical left now believes that, so now I have a target on my back.” He added he may have to wear a disguise to hit future protests. Shirley’s report from Minnesota last December came a week after federal prosecutors said a $9 billion “industrial-scale” fraud scheme had rocked the state. It has since been viewed more than 140 million times, per X’s view counter. His report also sparked sharp criticism of Walz, with many asking how he could allow so much taxpayer dough to be stolen right under his nose. Walz said last year federal prosecutors were “speculating” about the massive scope and fueling “sensationalism,” but the scandal ultimately spurred him to not seek reelection this year. The New York Post reported the scheme was pulled off by “dozens of people — the vast majority from Minnesota’s Somali community.” More than 90 people were charged. In April, the FBI raided 22 Minnesota businesses as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on the alleged multi-billion dollar fraud scheme that went unchecked — including hitting the infamous Quality Learning Center, which became a symbol of the alleged scam, as well as a running joke for the childcare center’s misspelled sign reading “Quality Learing Center.” The QLC was perhaps the most memorable part of Shirley’s report; he has sardonically donned sweatshirts with the misspelled name on it since his report went viral.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) Dr. Jonathan Reiner trolled Donald Trump on Sunday after the president once again bragged that the “cognitive test” he has taken four times showed “extreme intelligence.” In a late-night Truth Social screed hours earlier, Trump bragged: Unlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered ‘extreme intelligence. Are the Dumocrats really surprised? In fact, this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT or, 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked! It is very rare that anyone gets a Perfect Score, especially when achieved four times in a row. All people running for President and Vice President should be forced to take high difficulty Cognitive Tests. Congress, and the Dumocrats, should demand it! Reiner, who has been critical of Trump’s doctors for a lack of transparency surrounding the president’s health, sounded off on the true nature of the exam. “I’m glad the president did well on the MOCA exam, but it’s a dementia screening tool, not an IQ test, so a score of 26 or higher represents normal cognitive performance, not extreme intelligence,” Reiner wrote on X. “None of the questions are high difficulty.” I’m glad the president did well on the MOCA exam, but it’s a dementia screening tool, not an IQ test, so a score of 26 or higher represents normal cognitive performance, not extreme intelligence. None of the questions are high difficulty. pic.twitter.com/pSjzUkJ9R2 — Jonathan Reiner (@JReinerMD) May 31, 2026 Reiner posted a list of questions for Dr. Sean Barbabella on Saturday after the president’s doctor finally released the results of Trump’s Walter Reed visit. Barbabella noted that “President Trump remains in excellent health,” and only needed to increase his exercise and continue to lose weight. Barbabella did not address Trump’s chronic venous insufficiency that causes his ankles to swell, or the fact that he appears to nod off during important Oval Office and Cabinet meetings. Of the visible bruising on Trump’s hands, Barbabella called it “consistent with minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking in the setting of aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention.” “I’m glad Dr. Barbabella’s overall assessment is that the president is well. A few questions,” Reiner wrote Saturday. I’m glad Dr. Barbabella’s overall assessment is that the president is well. A few questions.1.

(Photos: Samuel Corum and Alex Brandon) President Donald Trump’s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ignores a “major underlying problem” that will still allow algae to grow and cover up its new “American flag blue” color, according to a new report in The New York Times. The Trump administration awarded a no-bid contract to Virginia firm Atlantic Industrial Coatings that has jacked up the price from the original $1.8 million to $13.1 million in an effort to finish the job before America’s 250th birthday celebrations. But as the Times pointed out, the company was contracted to reseal the expansion joints and add blue-tinted coating to the pool — not to fix the leaky pipes connecting the pool to a treatment plant that filters and purifies the water. “Twelve-inch pipes under the surrounding parkland are responsible for moving large volumes of water from the pool to the treatment plant and back again,” the report said. “When it works, that system is supposed to filter all of the pool’s four million gallons every three days or so. But these pipes often break and leak. The Park Service has said their plastic walls fail under pressure from the surrounding soil.” To deal with broken pipes, the water has to be disconnected from the filtration system, causing the pool to sit stagnant until the individual pipes are fixed, the report said. During Trump’s first term, the Park Service said “the only solution was to replace thousands of feet of pipe. But it has still not done so,” the report said, adding, “The Trump administration has said it plans to have that work begin in the fall, but has declined to give details.” Trump has said that the blue coating will last for 40 or 50 years and “there’ll be no leaks, there’ll be no anything,” but the Times report refuted that statement. Unless the underlying problem with the pipes is fixed, experts told the Times that “the algae could come back.” “If that happens, the pool’s newly waterproofed blue floor could again be invisible under a layer of green murk,” the report said.The post NY Times Reports There is Still a ‘Major Underlying Problem’ With Reflecting Pool — Despite Trump’s Costly Renovation first appeared on Mediaite.

Darrell Issa (D) told Fox News on Sunday it could be “a very long time” before the Iran war comes to an end — but that is because President Donald Trump has all the leverage, he argued. Issa was asked about the war during an interview with Peter Doocy on The Sunday Briefing. “How long until the war is officially, officially over?” Doocy asked. “It could be a very long time,” Issa said. “But you know, when somebody can’t breath and they want to slow down how fast they make a deal, the person who’s breathing just fine says, ‘Okay, I’ll keep you dunked underwater until you’re ready. If you want to last longer, great.'” Issa continued: That’s what President Trump is doing as we speak. He’s taking advantage of the fact that they’re suffering — we’re not. They’re dealing with significant problems, we only have to try to boost our oil and natural gases to help the Europeans. By comparison, we’re dealing only with higher prices for a time. They’re dealing with an existential threat to their regime. His answer comes a week after Trump said the U.S. and Iran’s theocratic regime had made significant progress on a deal — and suggested an agreement was imminent. “Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly,” Trump posted on May 23. “In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” A final agreement still remains in limbo, though. Trump debated a deal towards the end of last week, but ultimately decided the current framework was not good enough. The president has remained steadfast that any deal would guarantee Iran stops pursuing a nuclear weapon, among other details he wants included. Trump told his daughter-in-law Lara Trump on her Fox News program on Saturday night that if negotiations fall apart, he will look to “end it a different way.” Watch above via Fox News.The post GOP Lawmaker Admits Iran Peace Deal Could Take ‘a Very Long Time’ For Trump to Clinch first appeared on Mediaite.
