- Trump Cabinet Member Fawns Over President for Getting Middle Eastern Leaders on ...
Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum offered fawning praise for President Donald Trump during an appearance on Fox Business Tuesday, giving him credit for getting Middle Eastern leaders on the phone “on a holiday weekend” — Memorial Day, which is recognized in the United States and not in any of the other countries involved. Burgum chatted with Maria Bartiromo Tuesday morning about the economic impact of the Iran War, among other topics. The U.S. strikes against Iran have been controversial from the beginning, and the Trump administration has received scathing criticism from the right as well as the left as the war has continued. The massive cost of the war — $29 billion and counting — and the inflationary impact on gas prices have been major points of contention. Bartiromo pointed out that the gas prices have started to ease as ceasefire talks continue, but they are still higher than before the war began. Screenshot via Macrotrends.com (data via U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) Bartiromo introduced Burgum by commenting that he had “been doing a lot to keep up with all this demand” for oil, “whether it be from the war in Iran or from the massive demand on data centers.” “What do you think the impact is on energy this morning, as you watch oil prices come down today?” she asked. “Obviously, President Trump’s two moves ahead of his critics as always, nothing short of aspiration for peace in the Middle East. replied Burgum. “I mean, who on a Saturday afternoon over a holiday weekend can pull together all the world leaders from the Gulf State allies but also Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey — get ’em all in a phone call, and paint a vision, which again, is peace and prosperity in the Middle East, which some people thought never could be achieved. But he’s put all the conditions in place for this to come together, and this is gonna be great for not just for the United States but for the world economy and for peace and prosperity around the world.” Memorial Day in the United States is a designated federal holiday to remember and mourn military personnel who died while serving in the U.S. armed forces. The holiday has its roots in post-Civil War “Decoration Days” that honored soldiers who had died during the conflict and was expanded to recognize all military members who died in… [TheTopNews] Read More.49 mins ago - ‘That’s Nuts!’ Joe Rogan Trashes Trump’s $1.8 Billion ‘Slush Fund’ a...
Joe Rogan found a new reason to take issue with the man he endorsed in the 2024 presidential election, calling President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion IRS settlement fund “crazy.” On Monday’s The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan was joined by fellow comedian Tom Segura and at one point they took a dive into a $1.776 billion fund being set up that has been largely slammed by critics on both sides of the political aisle as a “slush fund.” The fund is reportedly being set up as part of a settlement with the IRS for President Donald Trump to drop a $10 billion lawsuit over a former official leaking past tax returns. Critics fear the fund, which cannot pay the president directly, will be used to reward allies of the president, including January 6 Capitol rioters. The fund would reportedly be used to pay out those with claims that the IRS or Department of Justice wrongly targeted them. Trump has defended the fund, saying the deal would actually mean him giving up “a lot of money.” Rogan did argue he felt there was outside influence of January 6, but made it clear he was not in favor of a large sum of money from the federal government essentially being handed over to the current head of said government. “That is so crazy,” Rogan said about the settlement, which would include Trump not being audited in the future. “Imagine like somebody accused you of murder, yeah, and turns out you weren’t guilty of that murder and then you sue them and you go, ‘You can never prosecute me for murder again.’ And then you just go straight Uday Hussein… That’s nuts.” Uday Houssein was the son of terrorist Saddam Housein and Rogan and Segura had gone down a rabbit hole discussing reports of the man’s long-talked about cruelty, which included everything from rape to torture to much more.

(AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, File) The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division filed a lawsuit against the University of California, Los Angeles on Tuesday for “deliberate indifference” to “race and national origin discrimination against Jewish and Israeli students.” In its complaint, filed in the Central District of California, the DOJ accuses UCLA of violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which “prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin” for any programs receiving federal funding. “After the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, antisemitic hatred against UCLA’s Jewish and Israeli students reached a point where students were physically assaulted, injured, excluded from campus, and deprived of educational opportunities because of their perceived Jewish or Israeli heritage,” the DOJ’s press release reads. “As alleged in the United States’ complaint, UCLA violated Title VI through its deliberate indifference to this pervasive on-campus antisemitism. UCLA also breached its funding contracts and grants with the United States by certifying the school’s compliance with its Title VI duties to protect all students from unlawful discrimination while allowing discrimination against Jewish and Israeli students to infect its campus.” The complaint sites the “flash point” of UCLA’s “tolerance of antisemitism” as April 2024 “when masked demonstrators erected an encampment outside of Royce Hall and slapped, kicked, beat with sticks, doused with pepper spray, and knocked unconscious Jewish and Israeli students.” Demonstrators also erected “human phalanxes” to block Jewish and Israeli students from entering campus buildings. “Universities have an obligation to maintain safe and inclusive campuses for all students,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli for the Central District of California said in the press release. “Universities that violate our nation’s civil rights laws by repeatedly failing to shield Jewish students from antisemitism will be held accountable.” On Feb. 24, 2026, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division filed a separate suit against the University of California for “engaging in a hostile work environment against Jewish and Israeli faculty and staff” at UCLA “in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”The post DOJ Files Lawsuit Accusing UCLA of ‘Deliberate Indifference’ to ‘Discrimination Against Jewish and Israeli Students’ first appeared on Mediaite. [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - The View’s Joy Behar Trashes NY Giants QB Jaxson Dart for Supporting Trump at ...The View co-host Joy Behar took exception to New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart introducing President Donald Trump at a rally last week. During last Friday’s rally in Suffern, NY, Dart took the stage to introduce the president. Later on in Trump’s speech, the president raved about Dart’s physique in a screed about trans athletes and the SAVE America Act. Many progressives on social media did not respond positively to the display — and even one of Dart’s teammates, star defensive player Abdul Carter, publicly criticized the move. On Tuesday’s episode of The View, Behar made it clear she had a problem with Dart publicly supporting Trump. Whoopi Goldberg, on the other hand, argued that Dart was within his right as an American to support him. “I mean, isn’t he entitled to his–” Goldberg began. “It’s America,” Alyssa Farah Griffin added. “I mean, he’s entitled to his thing,” Goldberg continued. Behar, however, contended that it wasn’t that simple given Trump’s history. “But for somebody to back a guy like Trump,” Behar said, “whose history of discrimination and racism goes back to housing discrimination in the ’70s, DEI attacks, and posting pictures of the Obamas as apes — when [Dart’s] on a team that’s 55%-60% of the NFL, that much percentage of black people — that is just the definition of stupidity and racist in my opinion.” Watch above via ABCThe post The View’s Joy Behar Trashes NY Giants QB Jaxson Dart for Supporting Trump at Rally: ‘The Definition of Stupidity and Racist!’ first appeared on Mediaite.
