- CNN’s Kristen Holmes: Trump ‘Completely Ignored’ White House Reporters on ...
President Donald Trump “completely ignored” questions from reporters about the military strikes against Iran after returning to the nation’s capital on Sunday night, according to CNN’s senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes. “He usually stops and talks to the press — he completely ignored us,” Holmes said at 8:14 p.m. ET. “Instead [he] stopped and admired some new statues that were being put into the Rose Garden. We hadn’t seen them before, they appeared to be the Founding Fathers, saying ‘Come look at them, they’re unbelievable.’ And then walked away.” She was referring to statues of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin that were installed outside the White House. You can see those statues below via CBS News associate producer Emma Nicholson: President Trump stopped to inspect two new statues — which seem to be Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson — after returning from Mar-a-Lago tonight. “Unbelievable statues,” he told us. He did not answer shouted questions about Iran or the fallen U.S. service members. @CBSNews pic.twitter.com/da5kN5r8PF — Emma Nicholson (@emmacnicholson) March 2, 2026 Holmes was a bit miffed Trump skipped out on answering questions from the press, one day after joint U.S. and Israeli strikes killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei; dozens of other top leaders from Iran’s theocratic regime were also eliminated. “We were shouting questions,’ What is your message for the families of the service members who were killed? How long are we going to be in this conflict?'” Holmes said. “We have so little answers right now, we don’t what is going to happen next.” Her TV hit came a few hours after Trump appeared on camera for the first time since Operation Epic Fury began. Here is what Trump said about the three American troops and five others who were injured on Saturday: As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives. We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is, likely be more. But we’ll do everything possible where that won’t be the case. But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘Very Ugly’: Federal Judge Who Defied Trump Tells 60 Minutes He’s Never En...Federal Judge John Coughenour — who ruled against President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship — told 60 Minutes Sunday that he has never encountered vitriol and threats to his life as he has from MAGA adherents. In his introduction, CBS News’s Bill Whitaker said he spoke with 26 federal judges for his story — “nine Democratic appointees, 17 Republican, both sitting and retired.” Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, was one of the few who talked on the record. After Coughenour ruled Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship to be “blatantly unconstitutional,” the judge said the threats started pouring in. Coughenour told a story about being confronted by five sheriff’s deputies with long rifles who were called to his home on a tip he had murdered his wife. “It was a cruel hoax,” Whitaker said, adding that the next day, Coughenour received a bomb threat. But, “it didn’t end there,” he said. “There was a congressman that had a ‘wanted’ poster,” Coughenour said. ” It just said ‘wanted’ in big letters at the top, and then a picture of several of us. It said everything except dead or alive.” Coughenour called the intimidation “very, very ugly,” adding that he has received dozens if not hundreds of death threats. “Judge Coughenour told us threats come with the turf,” Whitaker said. “He has sentenced an Al Qaeda bomber and Montana militia members, and needed round-the-clock protection. But he said he’d never had as many death threats as with the birthright citizen case. “I’ve been at this for 44 years,” Coughenour said of his career on the bench. “I have never encountered the hostility toward the judiciary that has existed in this country in the last year. And I don’t think it’s because we’re making bad decisions. I think it’s because there are people who think that they can make a lot of political hay out of criticizing the federal judiciary.” Watch the clip above via 60 Minutes on CBS News.The post ‘Very Ugly’: Federal Judge Who Defied Trump Tells 60 Minutes He’s Never Encountered Vitriol Like MAGA Fury first appeared on Mediaite.

- Fox’s Joey Jones Tells MAGA It’s OK To Ask Questions About Troops Killed In ...Fox News host and combat veteran Joey Jones spoke from experience Sunday when he told MAGA it’s okay for Americans to ask questions whenever U.S. soldiers are killed in battle. President Donald Trump addressed the deaths of three U.S. service members killed by Iranian missiles in a pre-taped video to the American people earlier in the afternoon, and vowed to avenge their deaths. Jones saw combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan, where he lost both legs above the knee and suffered severe damage to his arm and wrists. He urged viewers on Sunday to not lose sight of the ultimate sacrifice those soldiers made a day earlier, as part of a joint U.S.-Israeli mission that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. “It’s incumbent upon me to stop for a moment,” Jones began. “I understand that three is a small number. But three lives lost, three Americans killed in action, is hundreds if not thousands of lives affected — really millions — for every American out there that understands what that is like.” Jones continued: You know, I’ve seen it. I’ve experienced it. But we’ve been at war for less than 24 hours…What’s different here for me is to understand these men and women, whoever died in his counter attack — they didn’t say goodbye to their families contemplating their own mortality the way a lot of us did for 20 years for going to war. They didn’t know they were going to an active war. Of course, when you raise your right hand, when you swear to defend, when you join the military, and you go to somewhere like the Middle East, you know it is a possibility if not a probability. But I think it’s okay for any Americans who are saying, ‘Wait, just a minute. Tell me more. Tell me why we’re at war. Explain to me why this is imminent.’ I don’t think that questions your patronage to the American government are even if you’re MAGA or what have you…It does not question President Trump’s wisdom in this. But, I think that should be a part of the conversation. I would be a hypocrite if I sat here and said, ‘I don’t care who the president is.’ The American people should ask questions and demand answers when our blood is shed. And those three men and/or women are heroes, and their lives matter, and we should want… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- Shia LaBeouf Was Too Busy ‘Chasing A**’ to Care About Epstein Files: ‘Moth... Shia LaBeouf said only losers who “got no life” are wasting time fixating on the release of files tied to Jeffrey Epstein. And the actor said he is certainly not one of them, considering he has been too busy “chasing a**” in New Orleans to spend a minute on the latest documents. LaBeouf was asked if he’s been following the Epstein files saga during an interview on Andrew Callaghan’s Channel 5 YouTube show on Saturday. “Nah bro, I was f*ckin’ chasing a** on Mardi Gras, what you mean? I wasn’t payin’ no attention to Epstein files, nah,” LaBeouf said. “This sh*t is beyond me bro, I don’t get into this sh*t.” “Yeah, I just wondered, it was like the biggest news story in the world for a couple days was Epstein,” Callaghan followed up. LaBeouf made it clear he did not view it the same way. “If you got no life and you just sit in a f*ckin hole all day and not, you know, chasin’ a**,” LaBeouf said. “Motherf*ckers that are in the street don’t give a f*ck about this stupid sh*t.” He added “your life sucks” and “you’re a normie” if you get too caught up in all the Epstein drama. That was one of several answers that stood out from LaBeouf’s interview, which has racked up nearly 1.5 million views in less than two days. One comment in particular that stood out: the “Transformers” star said “big gay people are scary.” “When I’m like standing by myself and three gays are next to me, touching my leg, I get scared,” he said. “I’m sorry. If that’s homophobic, then I’m that. Yeah.” Labeouf’s interview comes shortly after he went viral for getting into a fight at Mardi Gras and going to jail. He resumed partying shortly after getting out, but he was arrested again on Saturday and charged with an additional misdemeanor count of simple battery in connection with the February 17 altercation. The 39-year-old star told Callaghan he does not believe he has a drinking problem, but he did say he had a “small man complex.” Watch above via YouTube.The post Shia LaBeouf Was Too Busy ‘Chasing A**’ to Care About Epstein Files: ‘Motherf*ckers That Are in the Street Don’t Give a F*ck’ first appeared on Mediaite.

[TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago - Trump Says In First Video Since Iran Strikes There Will ‘Likely Be More’ Ame...President Donald Trump released a six-minute video message on Truth Social Sunday in his first address to the nation since he first announced the U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran early Saturday morning. MS NOW aired the video, in which the president confirmed the deaths of three U.S. service members, with five others injured. “Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved,” Trump said, adding, “We have very strong objectives. They could have done something two weeks ago, but they just couldn’t get there.” Trump continued: Earlier today, CENTCOM shared the news that three U.S. Military service members have been killed in action. As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives. We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is, likely be more. But we’ll do everything possible where that won’t be the case. But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against basically civilization. They have waged war against civilization itself. Our resolve, and likewise that of Israel, has never been stronger. America is now again the richest, most powerful nation in the world by far. But the only reason we enjoy the quality of life that we do, and the freedom and security as we have done, things that others are unable to do. But it’s because of warriors who are willing to lay down their lives, to do battle with our enemies, and they do battle better than anybody. An Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear weapons would be a dire threat to every American. Trump added Iranian leaders by the “thousands” are now scrambling to contact the U.S. and request immunity. He also told The Daily Mail in an interview shortly before his video was posted that Operation Epic Fury will “take four weeks — or less.” Watch the clip above via MS NOW.The post Trump Says In First Video Since Iran Strikes There Will ‘Likely Be More’ American Deaths As He Vows To ‘Avenge’ Dead Troops… [TheTopNews] Read More.6 hours ago
