President Donald Trump curiously claimed that pipelines in Texas and Alaska could be “alternatives” to the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East. On Tuesday, the U.S. bombed Iran for a fourth consecutive day after U.S. officials accused the Iranian government of violating the memorandum of understanding that the countries signed last month. Iranian officials insist that Article 5 of the memo states that Iran is to arrange all passages through the vital passageway in Iranian waters. However, some ships have sought to bypass this by traveling along the Omani coast instead. Last week, Iran bombed several tankers, killing one crewmember. In response, the U.S. has resumed its blockade of Iranian ships in the Gulf of Oman, in addition to bombing Iran. Trump and other U.S. officials have claimed that the strait is open. Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst interviewed Trump on Tuesday and noted that traffic through the strait has drastically decreased. “Shipping data trackers indicate that just 10 vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday,” Yingst stated. “Less than 10% of what normally goes through this critical waterway. When you say the strait is open, what do you mean?” “It’s open if people want to go through it,” the president said. “We’re not opening it for Iran. That’s the only one it’s closed for. It’s closed for Iran both in and out. But it’s open now. A lot of things have happened, Trey, in the last few months. Pipelines are being built. We’re coming up with great alternatives, including Texas, including Alaska.” Despite Trump’s claim, the U.S. is not policing which vessels are allowed through the strait. Rather, the U.S. naval blockade is being enforced well outside the strait, in the Gulf of Oman.

On Tuesday’s edition of The Ingraham Angle, the host pointed to a recent survey that asked CEOs which states are the most business-friendly. “Six hundred fifty CEOs were polled, and they rated the best states in which to do business,” Ingraham said. “The top 10, including Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, are Republican. They are run by Republicans, except Virginia, which is at number 10, and North Carolina, kind of a purple state, at number five. So, money and people, resources, are pouring into red states. How do the socialists brush this off? Well, they do so either by ignoring it or distorting the data, or [with] a little help from their friends.” The aforementioned “friends” apparently include CNBC, the famously pro-business news organization. Last week, CNBC released a report titled, “These are America’s 10 worst states to live in for 2026.” Among the factors considered in assessing states’ quality of life were crime rates, air quality, healthcare, worker rights, and civil rights. The 10 states rounding out the bottom were Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Missouri, Utah, Georgia, Louisiana, Indiana, Texas, and Tennessee. With the exception of Georgia in 2020, all 10 states voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024. “This CNBC report just came out,” Ingraham continued. “They listed the 10 worst states to live in for 2026. All the states on this list, ok, Trump won. Every state except Georgia in 2020. And the list included four of the top 10 states for business. How does that make any sense?! They have kind of a weird calculus there, but this is obviously a blatant effort to denigrate more conservative states. But it’s really nothing new.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Laura Ingraham in Disbelief After 10 States That Voted for Trump Are Deemed the Worst To Live In first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘Just Stunning’: CNN’s Erin Burnett Counts the Times Trump’s Talked ‘R...CNN’s Erin Burnett counted all the times President Donald Trump has mentioned “rigged” elections publicly in just a month, calling it “just stunning.” On Tuesday’s OutFront, Burnett noted her team had found Trump mentioned “rigged” elections at least 18 times in speeches and public comments since Bill Pulte was made Acting Director of National Intelligence early last month. Trump is set to address the nation on Thursday, when he will reportedly discuss the 2020 presidential election. Burnett reported: There’s been nothing in six years. And of course, audit after audit after audit and state after state after state. Jamal, on June 4th, Trump said his acting national intelligence director, Bill Pulte, who of course comes from the home building industry, would look into the rigged elections. That was specifically the reason they gave for him in that role as national intelligence director. Since that particular day, June 4th, the best we could find, Jamal, Trump has talked about rigged elections in at least 18 different interviews or speeches. Eighteen Which is just stunning. The president continues to claim that the 2020 election was fraudulent, though there has been no proof of the type of widespread fraud he’s alleged over the years. Pulte’s appointment raised concerns among critics, as he has no military or national security experience, and he faced accusations of targeting Trump’s political enemies through his role as the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. CNN political commentator Jamal Simmons argued on Tuesday that Trump is making specific comments to discourage people from voting. He said: The president of the United States has been using his position to make political statements that are going to make it harder for people to vote. He’s looking not to enable people to vote, which is what we usually expect the Justice Department to do when the Justice Department goes into a community to monitor an election, it’s to help people vote — this looks like he’s trying to keep people from voting. Here’s the thing, the president keeps saying that the election was rigged but rigged against him. Everybody else in the country thinks that the economy is rigged against them. What they’re looking at is a trillionaire friend of the president. They’re looking at people making more and more money at the top of the income ladder, while they’re making less and less. And all the time the… [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago

- Jake Tapper Gobsmacked by Guest’s Wild Trump Theory: ‘Are You Saying He’s ...CNN’s Jake Tapper was surprised by a guest’s take on President Donald Trump and asked if she was suggesting Trump is a secret “Democratic operative.” Tapper brought on Xochitl Hinojosa, a former communications director with the Democratic National Committee, and Mike Dubke, a former White House communications director during Trump’s first term, on Tuesday’s The Lead, and during a discussion about the midterms, Hinojosa argued it looked like Trump was trying to purposefully “sabotage” Republicans. “He’s not talking about the war, he’s not talking about gas prices, he is not talking about prices at the grocery store or all these great things that Mike just talked about. What he is talking about is that potentially two senators from Georgia were illegitimate. He is talking the 2020 election, which, why are we looking back?” Hinojosa said, referring to the president’s scheduled Thursday address to the nation where he will reportedly be discussing the 2020 presidential election. Hinojosa added she hopes networks do not cover Trump’s address live. “These are conspiracy theories. My hope is that it is not covered live on a lot of networks. But it is. It is a joke, I’m sorry, that he is trying to sabotage the midterm elections for Republicans. This is not what he should be talking about,” she said. “Are you saying he’s a Democratic operative?” a surprised Tapper asked. “I think maybe,” Hinojosa joked. “He was once a Democrat,” Tapper responded. “This is a long, long play. That is a long play. That doesn’t make any sense to me.” “Manchurian Candidate territory,” Dubke joked, referring to the 1962 film starring Frank Sinatra or the 1959 novel it’s based on by Richard Condon. “I know. Somebody call Budd Schulberg,” Tapper added, referring to the screenwriter behind films like 1954’s On the Waterfront and 1957’s A Face in the Crowd.
