- David Axelrod Agrees With Trump After Reported Outburst at Netanyahu: ‘Not Wro...
Democratic strategist David Axelrod said President Donald Trump is “not wrong” after Trump reportedly lost it on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On Monday, Axios reported that the two leaders had a tense phone call in which Trump berated Netanyahu over Israel’s continued war in Lebanon. U.S. and Iranian officials have been trying to negotiate an end to the war on Iran, which began in February. Iran has insisted that any deal must include the cessation of Israeli military action in Lebanon, which Israel invaded again in March. Netanyahu has escalated the war in recent days by ordering bombings on the suburbs of Beirut. Citing two U.S. officials familiar with the call, Axios reported that Trump went on a tirade against the prime minister. “You’re f***ing crazy,” Trump reportedly told the prime minister. “Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.'” A second source said Trump was “pissed” and asked Netanyahu, “What the f*** are you doing?” On Monday’s OutFront on CNN, Erin Burnett read from the report before asking Axelrod, “What do you read into that?” “It doesn’t sound like a very friendly call,” Axelrod replied. “Look, I think that the president, his analysis is not wrong. You know, Bibi Netanyahu has done tremendous damage, in my view, to Israel and to Israel’s standing in the world.” Axelrod went on to reference a New York Times report from April in which the paper said Netanyahu gave a briefing to Trump and top U.S. officials in the White House Situation Room on February 11. The prime minister portrayed Iran as being ripe for a regime change and claimed that a sustained bombing campaign could achieve it. Seventeen days later, the U.S. and Israel began a joint bombing campaign. “Bibi had a lot to do with talking the president into thinking this was a good idea,” Axelrod continued. “And that’s what he’s really mad about. What he’s mad about is Bibi has created a huge political problem for him because the economy is the thing that is on the minds of Americans, and he has made it worse. And he promised to make it better. And that was his calling card. He was Mr. Economy, and now their costs are going up, and we’re mired in this war.” Shortly after the Axios report came out, Trump said he asked Netanyahu “not to go into a major raid… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - ‘What the F*** Are You Doing?’ Trump Rages at Netanyahu During Phone Call: R...
Samuel Corum/Sipa USA via AP Images President Donald Trump reportedly raged against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a profanity-laden call on Monday, demanding to know, “What the f*** are you doing?” Axios reported on the call, citing two unnamed U.S. officials and a third anonymous source. Earlier in the day on Monday, Iranian state media claimed Iran has suspended negotiations with the United States as a result of Israel’s actions in Lebanon, in response to rocket fire into Israel from Hezbollah. On his call with Netanyahu, Axios reports Trump accused the prime minister of “ingratitude” and called him “crazy,” citing two of its sources. The outlet also reported Trump said he kept Netanyahu out of jail, likely a reference to his intervention in Netanyahu’s ongoing, though currently paused, corruption trial. Trump has repeatedly denounced the trial and urged Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Netanyahu. One U.S. official summarized Trump’s phone comments to Axios as, “You’re f***ing crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your a**. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.” Trump made a lighter post to Truth Social after the phone call, even thanking Netanyahu for the productive dialogue. “I had a conversation with Bibi Netanyahu today, asking him not to go into a major raid of Beirut, Lebanon,” Trump wrote. “He turned his Troops around. Thank you Bibi! I also had a conversation with Representatives of the Leaders of Hezbollah, and they agreed to stop shooting at Israel, and its soldiers. Likewise, Israel agreed to stop shooting at them. Let’s see how long that lasts — Hopefully it will be for ETERNITY!” Lebanon has also announced Hezbollah’s alleged acceptance of a U.S. plan for a ceasefire, with the Lebanese embassy in the US saying it “received confirmation of Hezbollah’s acceptance of the US proposal for a mutual cessation of attacks.” For his part, Netanyahu took to X to emphasize that Israel will continue its operations in southern Lebanon and that its approach to Beirut hinges on what Hezbollah does next. “Tonight, I spoke with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not cease attacking our cities and citizens—Israel will attack terror targets in Beirut,” he wrote. “This stance of ours remains unchanged. In parallel, the IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon.”The post ‘What the F*** Are You Doing?’ Trump Rages at Netanyahu During… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Court Rules Protest Group’s ’86 47′ Flag Is Not Threat of Violence Against...
Screenshot via anow.usa on Instagram. A federal court ruled that the National Parks Service (NPS) cannot block a protest by a group that has been displaying a flag that said “86 47” — the same phrase at the heart of the Department of Justice’s prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey — specifically finding the evidence showed it was unreasonable to interpret it as a “call to violence” against President Donald Trump. Judge Randolph D. Moss with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, an Obama appointee, issued the 21-page order Monday, granting a temporary injunction to Accountability NOW USA (“Accountability Now”), a group that has been maintaining a 24-7 protest against the Trump administration on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C. The group applied for and was granted a permit on April 13, 2026 that was dated as valid through August 12, 2026. Accountability Now has previously sparred with the NPS over two signs they displayed related to the Epstein Files that had messages saying “TRUMP RAPED LITTLE GIRLS” and “KIDS, IF YOUR PARENTS ARE MAGA, THEY LOVE CHILD RAPISTS.” The group is represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia and filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in April, arguing that their First Amendment rights were being infringed and seeking a preliminary injunction to allow them to continue to display the signs while the litigation proceeded. According to the ACLU’s legal filings, Accountability Now “temporarily removed the signs” to “forestall” any “enforcement action” being taken against them, “including revocation of Plaintiff’s demonstration permit or seizure of [the] signs.” At some point after filing the lawsuit, Accountability Now’s volunteers began displaying a flag purchased on Amazon that said “86 47” on it. On April 28, the DOJ indicted Comey for a photo he posted on Instagram with seashells spelling out “86 47.” Legal experts across the political spectrum have panned the case as fundamentally “weak” on both the facts and law. Moss’ opinion does not mention Comey’s case but does point to the common definitions of “86” and similar arguments that have been made to criticize the DOJ’s prosecution. Moss’ opinion describes a May 12 conversation between a group volunteer holding that flag and a Secret Service officer. The volunteer recorded the conversation; the transcript includes the officer saying that was “fine.” When the officer asked about the phrase “and what it can… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Melissa DeRosa Rips LA Mayor Karen Bass — Marking Third Time in Less Than a We...Democratic strategist Melissa DeRosa ripped Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) Monday for not understanding why Angelenos are fed up with her brand of government. On Monday’s The Story on Fox News, Martha MacCallum played video of Bass saying of opponent Spencer Pratt, “It’s not just that he has no experience in city government, but I don’t know if he’s ever held a job in his life other than to be a reality TV star. And I think that he doesn’t know the issues. He’s operating out of anger. And what our city needs is to move forward, and a city where people can live their lives without the fear of crime.” DeRosa told MacCallum, “Karen Bass is a Democrat with all of the establishment behind her. She has the union, and the governor, and Kamala Harris, but she can’t crack 26 or 27%.” “So, that is not about Spencer Pratt, that is about her,” DeRosa said. “When you have a ceiling that low and you are the incumbent mayor, that is your constituents telling you, ‘You’re fired.’ So, Spencer Pratt — it’s fascinating to watch. A Republican has not been mayor in Los Angeles since 2001, so it’s been 25 years, and I think if he gets elected, he will get elected, yes, because people are angry, because they feel that the government has failed them.” MacCallum asked if DeRosa thought there would be a runoff due to the presence of a third candidate, Councilmember Nithya Raman (D). “I think it’s gonna be a runoff between Bass and Pratt,” DeRosa said. “And then in a runoff, head-to-head, I actually think he can consolidate the anti-establishment vote, and he could come over the top, because she has a terrible record that she will defend for the next five months.” DeRosa’s comments on Bass mark the third time in less than a week that the Democratic strategist has attacked her own party on Fox News.

- Scott Pelley’s Embarrassing Tantrum Proves Bari Weiss’s Point
LEFT: Bari Weiss (Photo by Alberto E. Tamargo/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) RIGHT: Scott Pelley (Photo by Paul Hennessy / SOPA Images/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) When a child throws a tantrum, they’re punished. When a journalist throws a tantrum, they wait to be called stunning and brave. On Monday, 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley reportedly flipped his sippy cup during a show-wide meeting, excoriating both his immediate (newly-installed executive producer Nick Bilton) and big boss (CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss). “She’s murdering 60 Minutes,” raged Pelley about the latter, per The Guardian‘s Jeremy Barr. “She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that.” According to Puck’s Dylan Byers, the former suffered the insult of being lectured about his “slender qualifications,” and then the indignity of having Pelley shoot down Bilton’s suggestion that they continue the conversation privately. Just how many Americans would keep their job after such an unprofessional outburst? At issue is CBS’s direction since the Ellison family took the reins at the network’s parent company and tapped Weiss to lead its newsroom. The Ellisons enjoy a close relationship with President Donald Trump, and Weiss is a moderate with conventionally conservative views on some topics and conventionally liberal ones on others. Quelle horreur. The months since Weiss took over have seen no shortage of pseudo-events breathlessly reported on by the media industry’s resident navel-gazers. There was the time she chose Tony Dokoupil, the MSNBC alum who once had the temerity to ask a tough question or two of the sainted Ta-Nehisi Coates, to helm CBS Evening News. And the time she briefly held a story from Sharyn Alfonsi — the ex-60 Minutes correspondent who once embarrassed her colleagues with a clumsy, botched hit on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) — in the hope that she might want to better it. And there was, of course, the garment-rending over the departures of beloved Democratic-operatives-in-disguise like Scott McFarlane, who fled for the bluer waters of MeidasTouch. But while the moral panic over CBS transforming into some Newsmax-OANN Frankenstein continues apace, so too does the network’s critical coverage of the Trump and the right more generally. In just the last eight months, 60 Minutes has seen segments about the president’s attacks on the judicial branch, the consequences of his One Big Beautiful Bill’s cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the maleffects of his sweeping imposition of tariffs,… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Fox Reporter Notes ‘No Sitting President’ Has Ever Spoken With Hezbollah —...Fox Business Network host Larry Kudlow spoke to Fox News foreign correspondent Lucas Tomlinson on Monday, following President Donald Trump’s claim he spoke to Hezbollah leaders and convinced both them and Israel to stop exchanging fire across the Israel-Lebanon border. “The president putting it on Truth Social that he spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and then through intermediaries, leaders of Hezbollah, the president posting, quote: ‘I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu of Israel, and there will be no troops going to Beirut, and any troops that are on their way have already been turned back. Likewise, through very highly placed representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop, that Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel,’” began Tomlinson, adding: Late last night, U.S. Central Command says American forces shot down two Iranian ballistic missiles heading to a base in Kuwait housing U.S. troops. It’s the second attack on Kuwait in recent days, Larry. The latest missile attack took place one day after U.S. forces disabled another ship trying to run the blockade and sail to an Iranian port. Iranian forces also shot down an American Predator drone over the weekend, drawing a counterattack by U.S. forces. Now, many have said these types of attacks over the weekend are proof, Larry, that the ceasefire is not holding — perhaps your next guest agrees. Of course, President Trump speaking to leaders of Hezbollah through intermediaries is very rare. Of course, no sitting president has ever spoken directly with the leaders of Hezbollah since they took power. But these attacks — some people would like to see a more muscular response, Larry. For every ship attacked going through the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. military would then attack an oil refinery in a tit-for-tat, Larry. So we’ll see. Kudlow added, “Lucas, thank you for that wrap-up. It sounds like — you know, and I try to listen to you and I’m reading what I can read — it just sounds like we’re… there’s no deadline right now. They’re talking, they’re not talking, the red lines aren’t changing. And we can go on like this with an economic blockade standing behind it. The embargo continues, you know, drilling their economy into the ground. I mean, that seems like the state of play… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
