- ‘Jesus Is a Doctor!’ Joe Rogan Cracks Up at Trump’s Excuse for Posting Now...
Joe Rogan got a good laugh out of President Donald Trump’s excuse for why he posted a picture of himself as Jesus Christ healing a sick man during the latest episode of his popular podcast on Tuesday. Trump posted the picture late on Sunday night, following his searing rant against Pope Leo XIV; he then deleted it on Monday morning amid accusations of blasphemy, saying afterwards that he believed it showed him as a doctor, not the messiah. The picture came up when Rogan and his guest, Andy Stumpf, a former Navy SEAL, were joking around about how powerful artificial intelligence is on Tuesday, with Rogan referring to it as “AI God.” He then joked, “AI God — the one that created that Jesus meme that Trump just posted.” “Joe, I told you, he explained it, he was a doctor,” Stumpf said sarcastically. That cracked Rogan up. “That’s what they called him, that’s what AI God calls Jesus — Jesus is a doctor,” Rogan quipped. They then kept the conversation moving. Trump, a day earlier, explained why he deleted the pic after blowback from pundits, politicians, religious leaders, and some MAGA diehards. “I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor — and, had to do with Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there, which we support,” Trump said. “And only the fake news could come up with that one. So I just heard about it, and I said, ‘How do they come up with that?’ It’s supposed to be me as doctor making people better, and I do make people better. I make people a lot better.” Interestingly, Rogan did not talk about his much-publicized handshake with Trump at UFC 327 last weekend in Miami. The president entered the arena and quickly made his way over to the announcing table, where Rogan was calling the event. Trump pointed at Rogan and shook his hand while telling him something for a few seconds; it appeared pretty chummy, with Rogan smiling widely and leaning in as Trump told him something in his ear. Their seemingly warm embrace stood out, considering that Rogan has been fairly critical of the president lately. Rogan slammed Trump last month for launching the Iran war, saying it could spur “World War III.” He also argued Trump has “betrayed” his MAGA base by starting the war — even though polling shows Trump voters overwhelmingly support the president on it.… [TheTopNews] Read More.14 mins ago - House Democrat Accused of Stealing $5 Million in Relief Funds Could Face Expulsi...
(Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images) Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL), who has been accused of stealing $5 million in relief funds for personal use, could face an expulsion vote on Monday. Last month, a House Ethics subcommittee composed of eight bipartisan members found Cherfilus-McCormick guilty of 25 out of 27 counts of ethics violations for embezzling millions from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A committee sanctions hearing is scheduled for Monday, April 21. In November, the Justice Department also charged Cherfilus-McCormick, her brother and two others of stealing the funds and engaging in campaign violations. If convicted of the 15 charges, she could face up to 53 years in federal prison. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told reporters on Tuesday that he believes there is consensus among Congress for Cherfilus-McCormick’s expulsion. “I have been a zealous guardian of due process around here,” Johnson said in a statement shared by The Hill. “I do think certainly on Cherfilus-McCormick, the Ethics Committee has gone through all of its processes, and they found some alarming facts. I think the facts are indisputable at this point, and so I believe it’ll be the consensus of this body that she should be expelled. I mean, that certainly rises to the level that’s needed.” Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) has already filed a resolution to expel her, and it is reportedly set to move to the House floor upon the completion of the sanctions hearing Monday. His resolution is being backed by fellow House members, including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who took to X on Tuesday to warn Cherfilus-McCormick of what is to come. “We have your expulsion vote ready to be called up on the 21st,” she wrote. “Either resign or be expelled. Those are your two options. So America is tracking: Sheila stole $5 million in FEMA funds.” Cherfilus-McCormick has denied the allegations made against her. The push for her expulsion comes amid a major shakeup in Congress after both Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Tony Gonzales (R-TX) resigned amid allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.The post House Democrat Accused of Stealing $5 Million in Relief Funds Could Face Expulsion first appeared on Mediaite.

Cloobeck says he is LEAVING the Democratic Party over the bombshell accusations, and that Swalwell lied to him… pic.twitter.com/fxop7Nu2ed — Fox News (@FoxNews) April 14, 2026 A billionaire Democratic donor who briefly ran for California governor before dropping out and endorsing Eric Swalwell has announced he’s leaving the party after he was betrayed by the embattled former lawmaker — and he’s not going quietly. Speaking to a KTTV reporter on Monday, Stephen Cloobeck said he was shocked by Swalwell, who dropped his gubernatorial bid and resigned from Congress after the disturbing allegations of sexual misconduct and rape surfaced. “I was blown away!” he shouted. “Like blown away. Like, there’s no way I would have endorsed him. It’s such a shock.” Cloobeck added that the betrayal has led him away from Democrats altogether. “I am no longer a Democrat! I’m now a libertarian Republican, because that’s what a blue dog Democrat used to be,” he said. Cloobeck mounted a campaign for governor of the Golden State himself before dropping out in November. He then endorsed Swalwell, saying he was a man of “integrity, focus, and willingness” for the job. But that was then. When asked if he was still friends with Swalwell, Cloobeck unleashed on the ex-congressman. “Eric who?” he said.” Is that clear? Don’t bust the trust. You bust the trust, OK? You don’t exist in my life.”The post Billionaire Donor Goes Absolutely Ballistic on Swalwell, Proclaims He’s Leaving Democratic Party: ‘Don’t Bust the Trust’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- FCC Chair Thinks NFL Puts Too Many Games on Streaming Services as Trump’s DOJ ...FCC Brendan Carr on Tuesday suggested the probe into the NFL’s broadcasting deals stems from the league putting a significant portion of games on streaming services. Last week, the Department of Justice opened a probe into the NFL to take a closer look at the way the league does business with broadcasters. As part of the league’s current media right deal, it has the right to opt out and renegotiate after the 2029 season. The expectation is that the NFL will opt out and ask for even more than the $10 billion it receives annually from broadcasters. Over the last few years, the NFL has given streaming networks — like Peacock and Netflix — exclusive access to a handful of games each season. Amazon Prime is also the home of Thursday Night Football. In a Tuesday morning interview on CNBC, Carr was asked by Sara Eisen what concerned the federal government about the NFL’s broadcasting deals. The FCC chair responded: I think long-term there’s been a great partnership between broadcasters and sports leagues that’s helped them to grow their fan base; and Americans have enjoyed sitting down after the day, turning on TV, and very quickly — and usually for free — finding their favorite team playing, and that experience has become frustrating for lots of Americans over the years. They feel like they’re paying more out of pocket. They’re having to sign up for different streaming services. So we’re looking at this at the FCC from the perspective of the health of the local broadcast market. We want to make sure that there continues to be the ability for local broadcasters to invest in local news and reporting, which is expensive, so they’re paying too much, ultimately, for NFL rights or other sports rights. That’s a problem. Eisen then asked Carr if the federal government was trying to “influence” the NFL to give traditional broadcasters a more favorable deal in the next round of negotiations. Although he didn’t agree with that characterization, he did confirm the Trump administration’s position that too many games were being taken away from cable in favor of streaming. “I don’t know about that,” Carr said, “but I do think there’s a point at which the NFL reaches a tipping point where they’re sticking too many games behind a paywall, in which case it really raises a lot of questions about the scope… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
- BREAKING: New Accuser Alleges Eric Swalwell Drugged and Raped HerA woman named Lonna Drewes accused Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) of drugging and raping her during a press conference in Los Angeles on Tuesday, adding to the weighty allegations of sexual misconduct against the California Democrat. Drewes told reporters she met Swalwell in 2018 while working as a model in Beverly Hills. She said she owned a “fashion software company” at the time and that Swalwell offered to help her with connections. Drewes said they met two times socially and that she believed “he was my friend.” On the third occasion, she said he sexually assaulted her in a hotel room. “I believe he drugged my drink,” Drewes said. “I only had one glass of wine. We were supposed to go to a political event and he said he needed to get paperwork from his hotel room. When I arrived at his hotel room I was already incapacitated and couldn’t move my arms or my body.” She continued, “He raped me and he choked me. And while he was choking me I lost consciousness and I thought I died.” Drewes said she did not undergo a rape kit after the alleged assault, but that she disclosed it to the people closest to her. She said she documented the effects of the rape in a journal and discussed it with sexual assault therapy group in Connecticut. The Oregon native said she knew Swalwell was married to a pregnant wife, and that she also had a boyfriend — two reasons why she said she would never consensually sleep with the lawmaker. Drewes said the alleged rape wrecked her life. “It had a profound impact on my mental health. I self-medicated in an unhealthy way,” Drewes said. “I did not want to live anymore. I cried all the time for years.” Drewes told reporters she will be filing a report on the alleged rape with police “shortly” after the press conference. Her press conference comes after another woman who was a former staffer accused Swalwell of raping her twice in a report from the San Francisco Chronicle on April 10. The woman in the Chronicle report said Swalwell raped her in 2019 and later in 2024 in a New York City hotel room. The Manhattan Defense Attorney’s office announced on April 11 it was launching an investigation into the alleged NYC assault. Several other women accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct in… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
