- Elon Musk Pumps Immigrant Crime Vigilante Flick From World’s ‘Worst Director...
Screenshot via Quiver Distribution Elon Musk really wants you to watch Citizen Vigilante, the new controversial film starring Armie Hammer and centered around illegal migrant-related crime. Citizen Vigilante dropped in select theaters and on digital platforms on June 19 and it quickly caused controversy. The movie follows an American (played by Hammer) who is living in Europe and targeting both illegal immigrants committing violent crimes as well as government officials handing out light sentences. Musk has been in full-on promotion mode with the flick. He posted the entire film to his X account, offering it free to users for a 48-hour period this week. He’s also teased a sequel while celebrating the movie’s success on digital platforms. Citizen Vigilante 2 will be even better https://t.co/rqMaDWJrV1 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 26, 2026 8M views already from my feed and 5M views directly by morning — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 26, 2026 While posted to Musk’s X account, Citizen Vigilante received more than 15 million views. Hammer adds another level of intrigue and controversy to the picture, as the actor saw his career implode in 2021 when he faced abuse and misconduct accusations. Messages were also released revealing cannibalistic fantasies. Hammer denied any criminal wrongdoing and he’s managed to get acting roles again in the last couple of years. According to writer/director Uwe Boll (more on him in a moment), Citizen Vigilante was essentially banned in Germany after the country’s film certification board refused to offer the movie an age rating, which effectively bars a film from promotion and theater play. “I think they did that on purpose. It was a deliberate censorship decision. I hired a lawyer to complain about it, but we lost in a six-two vote as I was told that the film was inciting violence against migrants,” Boll told The Telegraph. The filmmaker said the film itself was inspired by a 2016 case in Hamburg, in which a 14-year-old girl was raped by a group of teenagers. The teenagers received suspended sentences. Boll is mostly known for his low-budget video game adaptations over the decades, including House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, and Bloodrayne, and has been branded by many critics as the world’s “worst director.” In 2006, Boll, a former amateur boxer, set up a fight with multiple vocal critics of his movies. He fought them all… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Up, Up and Away — to the Grave? Iran Floats Flying Funeral for Supreme Leader ...
(Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader/AP photo) Iranian authorities are contemplating holding an “airborne funeral procession” for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a Saturday report. Khamenei, 86, was killed at his home on Feb. 28 as the United States and Israel launched “Operation Epic Fury” on Iran. The conflict raged for four months before the U.S. and Iran entered an uneasy ceasefire two weeks ago. Roughly 20 million people are expected to attend the extended, six-day funeral ceremonies for the Iranian leader, according to The New York Times. The funeral is set to begin July 4 with a 24-hour funeral ceremony in Tehran, The Times reported. The procession is expected to conclude July 9 in Khamenei’s hometown of Masshad, where he is to be buried, Iran International reported. Details on the proposed flying funeral for Khamenei were scant. The unusual discussions for Khamenei’s final farewell, which were originally slated for March but delayed for months by the hostilities between the U.S. and Iran, were sparked by concerns over security and crowding, the outlet reported: Authorities are considering holding slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s funeral procession airborne to reduce crowding and improve security, the governor of Razavi Khorasan province said on Saturday. Gholamhossein Mozaffari said the proposal, put forward by the provincial security council, was likely to be implemented because it would ease crowd management and provide safer conditions. Officials have announced that Khamenei is due to be buried in the northeastern city of Mashhad on July 9. In addition to Tehran and Masshad, the funeral procession is also set to visit the city of Qom, according to Al-Jazeera. Khamenei, whose son Mojtaba reportedly took over as Supreme Leader but has rarely been seen since taking command, is expected to be buried at the Imam Reza Shrine in Masshad. Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly suffered seriously leg and disfiguring facial injuries in the airstrike which killed his father, Reuters reported.The post Up, Up and Away — to the Grave?

New York Mets mascot Mr. Met went viral by videobombing pregame reporter Steve Gelbs with a hilarious dance as Gelbs broke down some depressing news for fans of the beleaguered team. Hot on the heels of WNBA Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham’s star turn in the finger-pointing memes comes Mr. Met, who livened up a glum pre-game analysis with some Pride-bedecked hoofing behind an oblivious Gelbs: GARY APPLE: That it ended up the way that it did. Try to think back, Steve. It was not too long ago. The Mets were celebrating you were in the clubhouse with the goggles on the National League as they made that run to the National league championship series. And here we are on this night and Carlos Mendoza is out of a job. How did we get here, Steve? STEVE GELBS: Yeah, it’s amazing that it was less than two years ago. It feels like a lifetime ago, to be honest with you. You know, there’s no one easy answer for how the team got here. If there was, you know,. MR. MET: (DANCES GLEEFULLY THROUGH FRAME). STEVE GELBS: They’d fix it. There’s a lot of layers to this, but what I will say is it’s become clear that the Mets simply changed too much this off season at one time. MR. MET: (DANCES BEHIND GELBS). STEVE GELBS: There’s every reason in the world to say that last year’s team collapsed, we’re gonna make some changes. But when you turn over the entire roster, the entire coaching staff. You put the team in a position where, yeah… MR. MET: (PEACES OUT). STEVE GELBS: On paper and in the algorithm and the projections, they may be set up to win, but in reality, they’re not because especially in this city, there’s a ton of scrutiny. And when you lose the types of fan favorites this team lost, there is also going to be a heavy dose of skepticism, of anger from the fan base. They’re not going to give the team the benefit of the doubt and the ability early on to kind of have a malaise and try and snap out of it. And so this team needed to get off to a hot start. And once they didn’t, it just became very, very difficult. It felt like the snowball was constantly rolling downhill. And so I think when you’re David Stearns and… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘They Tried to Kill Him!’ Wild Trump Intro Goes Right Into God Saved Him Ter...Faith and Freedom Coalition Chairman Ralph Reed went over the top in an introduction of President Donald Trump that portrayed him as a besieged but divinely protected leader. Trump spoke at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Policy Conference in Washington, DC, on Friday and delivered several noteworthy rants. But Reed — who made similar remarks at a leaked event this Spring — let it all hang out in his intro: RALPH REED: I know he’s ready. But I’m going to give him a proper introduction, because this man, our next speaker, is no stranger to this conference or this stage. In fact, today marks his 10th appearance at the Faith and Freedom Road to Majority Conference. He has been here as a private citizen, as a candidate, and we are pleased to welcome him back today as President of the United States. With the seal back on the podium where it belongs. Amen. This is a man who alone, among all the leaders that we have had, gave us the most conservative Supreme Court in over a century. This is a man who, after decades of incompetence and criminal negligence, gave us the most secure border the United States has ever had. He signed the largest tax cut in history that is fueling the greatest economy the world has ever seen. He moved the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and he gave us the closest relationship and collaboration with our ally Israel that the nation has ever known. And he alone had the courage and the moral clarity to order and direct military action against Iran to make sure it will never have a nuclear weapon. They impeached him! They indicted him! They tried to imprison him! They tried and knock him off the ballot! And then they tried to kill him! And it all failed because God has a purpose for this man. And it is to save our nation. Please welcome back to this stage the 45th and the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump!

- Barack Obama Scolded Larry David In Meeting for New Show
Screenshot Former President Barack Obama chastised Larry David during a meeting for David’s new show, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, for which Obama is a producer and co-creator. Jeff Schaffer, director and co-creator on the historical sketch comedy series, sat down with Variety to promote the show, which made its debut this week. It marks David’s return to television following a 12-season run on Curb Your Enthusiasm and it’s one of the biggest projects Obama has taken on as a producer. Schaffer told Variety David and Obama have a “good rapport,” but he also shared a tense moment between the two when Obama offered some notes to David. The former president will actually be making an appearance in the HBO series. Schaffer recalled: The president’s input — and [Higher Ground’s] Ethan Lewis and Joe Paulsen’s — was invaluable. From our first meeting, he had read a whole bunch of stuff and was really liking it. He gave a few notes about something and Larry went, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got it.” And the president goes, “I spent a half an hour talking about how funny everything is. I give you one note and you get into a defensive crouch.” The president said, “When I was in the Oval Office, I took advice and listened to my advisors, and I was the president of the United States.” And Larry just goes, “Yeah, but I’m the president of this.” David recently made some waves by slamming the UFC fight card outside the White House, an event meant to celebrate the country’s 250th birthday. David’s show, according to Schaffer, was also inspired by the country’s 250th and the desire to celebrate it. “It was a travesty,” David said about the UFC event. “What else can you say about it? It was embarrassing. I was embarrassed to be an American.”The post Barack Obama Scolded Larry David In Meeting for New Show first appeared on Mediaite.

Comedian and pundit Bill Maher roasted Vice President JD Vance to his face over a much-derided remark about the hosts of The View being tougher to handle than Iranian negotiators. On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the interview guest was Vice President JD Vance, 50th vice president of the United States and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling book “Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis” and the new memoir “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith.” The panel guests were Senator Raphael Warnock, Democratic senator from Georgia, senior pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, and author of the new book “The Crooked Places Made Straight: Reflections on the Moral Meaning of America”; and Larry Wilmore, comedian, writer, and guest star in the new HBO Original limited series “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America,” debuting Friday, June 26. Maher began the interview segment by praising Vance for coming on the show, complaining about all the Democrats who turned him down, and cracking wise about Vance’s gaffe: BILL MAHER: Tthe one that’s out now, Communion, Finding My Way Back to Faith, J.D. Vance, our Vice President. VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: Not bad. BILL MAHER: Do I have the nicest crowd? VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: I’m sure it’s the only applause I’ll get, but I’ll take. BILL MAHER: No, I mean, I’m just glad you’re talking to me, you know. I mean I say it every time when the Republicans come here, they take their beating like a man. The people I vote for, they’re the ones who won’t talk to me. It’s odd, isn’t it? VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: It is very odd. BILL MAHER: I mean, and I… I’m. VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: Like this new woman who was elected to New York. Do you think she’ll come on the show? BILL MAHER: Oh, I know you want… No, I can’t get AOC, I cant get Mandami, I couldn’t get Kamala Harris, you know. Took me eight years to get Obama. Anyway, let’s not talk about my problem. And I promise this is going to be a lot easier than talking to the Iranians. Or even more, The View. VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: The question is whether it’s harder than The View, that’s right.
