- ‘Nobody Asked for This!’: MS Now Host Rants Against Trump’s ‘Stupid’ A...
MS NOW anchor Ali Velshi absolutely hates the construction projects being spearheaded by President Donald Trump, including the triumphal arch the president is installing in Washington, D.C. Velshi ripped the arch — and several other projects — during his opening segment on his MS NOW program on Sunday morning. Velshi put his arms above his head to mimic the arch Trump is having built between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. “I’m doing this because it’s stupid, just like the arch” Velshi said about his pose. He then seemed to contradict himself a bit by explaining Trump’s arch is being styled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which he said was “lovely.” The 162-foot tall French arch was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 and finished in 1836; Trump’s arch is expected to be 250 feet tall to honor America’s 250th birthday. Velshi then got back to ripping Trump’s version. “Estimated cost: $100 million. Nobody asked for this!” Velshi vented. “Nobody needs this.” He then moved on to complaining about other things Trump has greenlit, like the revamping of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Velshi told his viewers “I really hope you’re sitting down for this,” before telling them the project is costing the taxpayer $13 million. He said that was “alarming,” just like it was alarming that the bid was given to “three guys” who had worked on other Trump pool projects in the past. And another construction calamity, according to Velshi: Trump’s new ballroom. He said “You and I were never going to be invited to that ballroom, but at least we weren’t going to have to pay for it.” But he said that plan has now changed, after a gunman tried to murder Trump and several administration officials at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last month. Velshi said the price tag will now be $1 billion to beef up security for the ballroom — although that proposal was rejected in the Senate this weekend. He summarized Trump’s desire for new buildings by saying “authoritarians throughout history have always understood and exploited the power of spectacle.” Watch above via MS NOW.The post ‘Nobody Asked for This!’: MS Now Host Rants Against Trump’s ‘Stupid’ Arch first appeared on Mediaite.

Buddy Carter (R-GA) Sunday over Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine policies and the measles outbreaks happening in some states. The two lawmakers appeared on CNN’s State Of The Union where they discussed Sen. Bill Cassidy’s (R-LA) primary loss in Louisiana on Saturday after President Donald Trump endorsed one of his opponents. Cassidy ran afoul of Trump when he voted to convict in the president’s second impeachment trial over the J6 insurrection. Cassidy, a medical doctor, also voted to confirm RFK Jr as HHS secretary after receiving assurances the childhood vaccine schedule would remain in tact. “Well, first of all, I don’t think you should ever go against the president and vote for impeachment if you’re going to plan on running, and running for reelection,” Carter said. “Secondly, this is just another example — Donald Trump is going to try to to get rid of anyone who is not helping him with his agenda.” “It’s Donald Trump’s party, as you just heard from my colleague from Georgia — even an insurrection is apparently, to the Republican party, not cause for impeachment,” Auchincloss said. “So it’s not a surprise to anybody that Sen. Cassidy lost.” Auchincloss said it was disappointing that Cassidy was the deciding vote to confirm RFK Jr who is “launching an anti-vax crusade.” “Buddy, you and I are on the Health Subcommittee in Congress. We have to do oversight and investigations before more kids get these preventable infectious diseases,” Auchincloss said to Carter, who agreed. “So, do you agree that RFK Jr. should resign?” Auchincloss asked. “No, I do not agree. Absolutely not. RFK Jr. is doing his job, and I applaud him for doing his job,” Carter argued. “Doing his job, even though measles is spreading throughout the country right now?” “No, no, no! Measles is not spreading throughout the country right now,” Carter said. “We are going to — he’s going to get it under control. This is something that we’ve got.” “We had it under control in the year 2000. And then this guy came back with his pro-measles campaign for public health,” Auchincloss said. “You’re a pharmacist, Buddy — you know better than this! Let’s bring him to Congress. Put the facts on the table and tell him to prevent more children from dying.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
- James Comey Has No Regrets About Reopening Hillary Probe Just Before 2016 Electi...Former FBI Director James Comey said he would not change a thing about his decision to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails less than two weeks before her defeat to President Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Comey was asked if he has any regrets about how he handled the reopened probe during an interview on Meet the Press on Sunday. “Knowing what you know now, would you have made the same, exact decision again?” moderator Kristen Welker asked him. “I think so,” Comey said, before talking about the one thing he has debated whether or not he should’ve done differently. “The only thing I’ve wondered is whether I should’ve dumped that very difficult decision on the attorney general on October the 28th. She declined to speak to me, but I could’ve just sent her a memo saying, ‘Here’s what I think that we have to do,'” Comey said. He said he opted not to push the investigation onto then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch because it would have been a “chicken-blank thing to do.” “It was a decision that I had to make because I had testified all summer that the investigation was done and now it’s not done. Do I really conceal that from the American people, from the Congress? I can’t,” Comey continued. “And it would’ve been a chicken thing to do to dump it on the AG. But sometimes when people are unhappy with me on the street, I think, ‘Hmm, I should’ve left it for Loretta Lynch.'” Welker then asked if Comey felt his decision played a role in electing Trump. “I hope not,” Comey said. He continued: Having seen two elections after that, where as they said, the difference the FBI made was late-deciding voters broke for Trump in ’16, but then they did again in ’20, and then they did again in ’24, when I was home in my pajamas for both elections. So I don’t think so. But again, we made the decision because it was the least-bad option. Both options sucked, honestly. But this was the one most consistent with the values of the department. So as painful as it is, I’d have to do the same thing again. Comey was indicted last year on alleged false statements made to Congress. That case was dropped, but he is now facing a new indictment from a federal grand jury over an Instagram post… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago

Screenshot President Donald Trump issued another stark threat to Iran, on Sunday — warning “there won’t be anything left of them” if their leadership doesn’t agree to a deal soon. In a post to Truth Social Sunday, the president was blunt in his demands. “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them,” Trump wrote. “TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” The latest post follows a Fox News report early Sunday that Iran expects the U.S. to resume military action — and its strategy is to essentially stall for time. Fox’s chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst fleshed out Iran’s thinking in a report on Fox & Friends Sunday. “The prevailing assessment inside Iran is that President Trump may resort to restarting military action, and Tehran is now deliberately pursuing a strategy of ‘deception and delay’ with the hopes that buying time will complicate any potential return to war,” two regional intelligence officials told Fox News,” Yingst wrote on X — sharing a clip of his Fox & Friends hit. Trump, in a phone call with Axios’s Barak Ravid Sunday (as posted by Ravid on X), said that if Iran drags its feet on a deal, the “will get hit hard and won’t have anything left.” ——The post Trump Warns Iran ‘Better Get Moving FAST’ or ‘There Won’t Be Anything Left of Them’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Lindsey Graham (R-SC) compared President Donald Trump’s objective to deny Iran a nuclear weapon to Churchill’s campaign against Nazi Germany as he answered questions on NBC News’s Meet The Press on Sunday. Moderator Kristen Welker played video of Trump saying he did not think about Americans’ financial situations when considering how to respond to Iran. “Financial situation, I don’t think about anybody,” Trump told reporters last week. “I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.” Graham went to bat for Trump’s widely-panned comments. “That’s his Churchill moment,” Graham said. “When Churchill came into power, he promised blood, sweat, toil, heartache, until we deal with the Nazis who are an existential threat to the British way of life. And if Hitler had taken charge of the planet, it would have been the darkest hour in humanity.” Graham continued, “I believe Iran wants a nuclear weapon — they would use it as part of their religious agenda. They would destroy the Jewish state. They would eventually hold us hostage. [Trump’s] audience, the Iranian regime — do I worry about gas prices? Yes. But President Trump’s right: The biggest threat to stability in the world is a nuclear-armed Iran. and whatever price we have to pay, we will pay. What did Churchill say? ‘Whatever price we have to pay to beat Hitler, we will pay.’ Same with Iran.” Welker asked if was worth losing the midterms over dissatisfaction with the economy in order to achieve a non-nuclear Iran. “It’s worth losing my job,” Graham said. “If I had to give my job up to make sure Iran would never have a nuclear weapon, I would do it.” “Would you give up the House and the Senate?” Welker asked. “I would give up — politically, the most important thing I can do with the job I’ve been given is to protect the American people,” Graham said, continuing: Now, you don’t have to agree with me, but I’ve been this way for 20 years. I believe they’re religious Nazis in Iran. If they had a nuclear weapon, they would use it. They’ve been trying to get one, they’ve been cheating. Obama and Biden were jokes when it came to containing Iran. Trump is doing something people should have done a long time ago. But here’s the good news: gas prices will come down when you put… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Trump’s AG Tells Fox’s Bartiromo He Won’t Promise ‘Definitive Answer’ ...Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo that he’s “not going to promise there’s going to be a definitive answer” on whether the 2020 election was stolen — a comment which seems unlikely to endear him to President Donald Trump. In an interview on Sunday Morning Futures, Blanche — in response to a question from Bartiromo — did say “there’s a ton of evidence” to back Trump’s longstanding claims that the 2020 election was “rigged.” But he stopped short of saying he would be able to prove it. “The president says all the time that the election was rigged,” Bartiromo said. “What have you done about that? Do you have any evidence that the elections was rigged?” “Well, there’s a ton of evidence that the election was rigged,” Blanche replied. “That’s not something that DOJ needs to tell you about. There’s been evidence about that for many, many years. What I can tell you is that we have multiple investigations going on in Arizona, in Georgia — in Fulton County, Georgia. And that’s exactly what we’re looking at. By the way, this is very difficult because they’re very good. They’re very good at hiding misconduct, and hiding what they’re doing. And so that’s why we’re very focused on finding out whether the right people voted, whether people who were supposed to vote voted, whether there was one vote cast per voter. And that’s what we’re doing in multiple states.” “I assure the American people that as soon as we have something to say for it, whether it’s charges, whether it’s a report, whether it’s the results of an investigation, the American people will learn about what we uncovered. [00:01:53][68.7] Later in the interview, Bartiromo followed up by asking, “Do you believe there will be, at some point, a definitive answer to whether or not the 2020 election was stolen?” But Blanche wouldn’t commit. “I’m not going to promise there’s going to be a definitive answer,” Blanche said. “That wouldn’t be fair to you or anybody else, but we are looking at it and we’re hoping to get one.” Watch above, via Fox News.The post Trump’s AG Tells Fox’s Bartiromo He Won’t Promise ‘Definitive Answer’ on Whether 2020 Election Was ‘Rigged’— But Insists ‘There’s a Ton of Evidence’ first appeared on Mediaite.
