- Joe Scarborough Hammers ‘Numb’ GOP, Press and Evangelicals for ‘Muted’ R...
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough warned that President Donald Trump’s profane post threatening “Hell” on Iran if the regime did not “open the f*cking” Strait of Hormuz was proof that many Republican lawmakers are now “numb” to his “outrageous” statements. The president took to Truth Social early Sunday to express his frustration at the deadlock over the key waterway, which the regime has forced shut since joint U.S.-Israeli attacks began on February 28. He threatened strikes on Iranian infrastructure if his conditions were not met. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump wrote. “There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F*ckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” After earlier scorching the post as “absolutely obscene,” Scarborough doubled down to reflect that what he called the “muted response” to the post and that any previous president would not have gotten away with the same kind of outburst: You know, the muted response to a statement that would have been absolutely shocking and it would have shut down Washington had it been done by Joe Biden, by Barack Obama, by George W Bush, by Bill Clinton, by anybody that sat in the Oval Office before Donald Trump shows you just how numb not only the Republican party, but also a lot of members of the press have become to the most outrageous of statements. This was an outrageous Easter morning post, again, on the most blessed holiday for Christians across the globe. And the message that was being sent out, again, should have been insulting to the evangelicals who line up to support a president who doesn’t support a great deal of what they have at least claimed in the past [are] their values. But also, I think even more importantly for this discussion, he insulted Muslims across the world. And it’s the last thing we want to be doing right now with Iranians who actually at one point wanted America to rescue them from the hell that they’ve been living under since 1979. While some did not comment on Trump’s post, his remarks were, notably, met with pushback and anger from members of the media, like Piers Morgan and pundits from different networks, as well as from key supporters, including Alex Jones, who called the administration a “clown… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘Ready or Not, Let’s Do The News’: Savannah Guthrie Returns to TODAY Show ...NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie returned to the anchor seat on TODAY on Monday after several months away due to the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who remains missing. Signing on to the show for the first time since January 30, Guthrie opened, “Good morning. Welcome to TODAY on this Monday morning. We are so glad you started your week with us, and it is good to be home.” “Yes, it is good to have you back at home,” responded co-anchor Craig Melvin. Guthrie continued, “Well, here we go. Ready or not, let’s do the news.” Melvin then patted Guthrie’s hand and added, “So good to have you back.” Until Monday, Guthrie had been absent from the show for more than two months due to the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother Nancy, who is presumed to have been taken from her home against her will. In an interview last month, Guthrie broke down over the possibility that her mother could have been kidnapped for ransom due to her fame as an anchor at NBC News. “We still don’t know. Honestly, we don’t anything. We don’t know anything. So I don’t know that it’s because she’s my mom, and somebody thought, ‘Oh, that girl, that lady has money. We can make a quick buck.’ I mean, that would make sense, but we don’t know. But yeah, that’s probably–” said Guthrie as she teared up. “Which is too much to bear to think that I brought this to her bedside, that it’s because of me.” Since Nancy Guthrie’s February 1 disappearance, the Guthrie family has received several ransom notes. Law enforcement also released footage of a masked and armed man tampering with the 84-year-old’s doorbell camera in the hours before her disappearance.

- US, Iran Eye Peace Proposal 48-Hours Before Trump’s ‘Hell’ Deadline – Bu...The United States and Iran are weighing a fast-moving peace proposal that could bring a ceasefire within days, just 48-hours ahead of President Donald Trump’s Tuesday deadline for a deal, after which he threatens to unleash “Hell.” The framework, brokered through overnight negotiations involving Pakistan, lays out a two-stage process beginning with an immediate ceasefire followed by intensive talks aimed at a broader settlement within 15 to 20 days, a source familiar with the discussions told Reuters on Monday morning. Behind the scenes, the diplomatic push for a breakthrough is being led by Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, who said he remained in contact “all night long” with Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. The urgency reflects mounting pressure from Washington, where Trump has tied any agreement to the swift reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy supplies. However, Tehran has reportedly rejected any immediate reopening of the Strait as part of a temporary ceasefire. A senior Iranian official said the country would not accept deadlines while it reviews the proposal, adding that Washington lacks the readiness for a permanent ceasefire. Negotiators have explored the 45-day truce as part of a two-phase deal that could eventually end the conflict, Axios also reported. Anwar Gargash, an adviser to the president of the United Arab Emirates, told Reuters that any agreement must ensure access through the Strait, warning that failure to address Iran’s nuclear programme and missile capabilities could lead to “a more dangerous, more volatile Middle East”. Talks continued Monday night against a backdrop of continued violence across the region, with fresh strikes reported on Monday and targets hit on both sides. Israel also killed Iran’s top intelligence chief, Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi, the latest in a series of assassinations of senior Iranian figures.The post US, Iran Eye Peace Proposal 48-Hours Before Trump’s ‘Hell’ Deadline – But Hormuz Standoff Remains first appeared on Mediaite.

- Joe Scarborough Slams Trump’s ‘Absolutely Obscene’ Iran Threat: ‘Insults...Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough slammed President Donald Trump’s Sunday demand that the “crazy b*stards” in the Iranian regime “open the f*cking” Strait of Hormuz or face “Hell” – signing off “Praise Be to Allah” – as an insult to Muslims “across the planet.” In a wild Truth Social post early Sunday, the president demanded the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to attack Iran’s infrastructure. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump wrote. “There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F*ckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” Scarborough’s remarks came as the Morning Joe crew reflected on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as a result of the conflict. The shuttering of the key trade route has been central to how Iran has pressed back against the U.S.-Israel campaign, resulting in spiking oil prices worldwide. After Trump’s threats of more strikes, MS NOW contributor and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius reflected on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could only be achieved by diplomacy, and that further attacks may leave the waterway unstable and “impassable” for decades to come. As Iran continues to resist reopening the strait, Scarborough noted that Trump’s post was evidence of his “frustration” on resolving the issue. “Maybe we saw some of that frustration Easter morning with that absolutely obscene quote that, again, insults every Muslim across the planet and a good number of Christians across the planet,” the host said. Scarborough continued: “And, of course, there are those who would suggest, well, you just don’t understand Trump. Trump is schooling everybody. He plays by different – no, no, it’s not Donald Trump or our people in the media we’re we’re concerned about, it’s what’s the impact on those who consider America their enemies. And the impact is not good.” Speaking to guest David Rhode, who was kidnapped and held by the Taliban in 2008, he followed: “[David], you talk about how far from intimidating jihadists who want nothing more than martyrdom and who want nothing more to bring down America and destroy the West.” “This is not a post that would frighten them, like it might frighten some people in the West who are intimidated by the United States and Donald Trump. But this actually energizes… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Trump Tells SCOTUS to ‘Study’ Mark Levin Show on ‘Money-Making’ Birthrig...
President Donald Trump attacked the Supreme Court in a social media post on Monday morning as he called on justices to rethink birthright citizenship and “study” a segment by his ally at Fox News, Mark Levin. The president branded birthright citizenship a “money-making HOAX” as his administration’s push to restrict the policy faces mounting legal scrutiny. Taking to Truth Social after midnight, the president took aim at both the court and long-standing interpretations of the Constitution, urging justices to rethink the issue just days after they appeared largely skeptical of oral arguments advanced by his lawyer. Trump wrote: It’s too bad that the Supreme Court can’t watch and study the Mark Levin Show tonight on the Birthright Citizenship Scam. If they saw it they would never allow that money making HOAX to continue. THEY SHOULD USE THEIR POWERS OF COMMON SENSE FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY. They failed miserably on Tariffs, needlessly costing the USA Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in potential rebates for the benefit haters and scammers. Why??? Don’t do it again! The Country can only withstand so many bad decisions from a Court that just doesn’t seem to care. (Screengrab via Truth Social) Trump’s post, pointing to the segment, is a further escalation as his administration seeks to challenge a legal principle rooted in the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. The Supreme Court affirmed that interpretation in an 1898 ruling but Trump has repeatedly countered that the provision was never intended to apply broadly. “Birthright Citizenship has to do with the babies of slaves, not Chinese Billionaires who have 56 kids, all of whom ‘become’ American Citizens,” he said in a different post on Tuesday. “One of the many Great Scams of our time!” The dispute has now returned to the Supreme Court, where early oral arguments on Wednesday suggested several justices are wary of narrowing the long-established doctrine. In a highly unusual move, Trump also attended the proceedings in person, becoming the first sitting president in recorded history to observe a Supreme Court case directly tied to one of his own major policy initiatives. During Life, Liberty & Levin on Fox News late Sunday, the host said he felt that the U.S. had “forgotten” the purpose of the 14th Amendment, which he argued “was to ensure that Blacks were treated equally as citizens after the civil war”… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago - Trump Endorses Former Fox News Host to Replace Gavin Newsom as California Govern...
AP Photo/Laure Andrillon President Donald Trump gave former Fox News host Steve Hilton his “COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT” in the 2026 California gubernatorial race on Sunday. “I have known and respected Steve Hilton, who is running for Governor of California, for many years,” wrote Trump in a Truth Social post endorsing Hilton: He is a truly fine man, one who has watched as this once great State has gone to Hell. Gavin Newscum and the Democrats have done an absolutely horrendous job. People are fleeing, crime is increasing, and Taxes are the highest of any State in the Country, maybe the World. Steve can turn it around, before it is too late, and, as President, I will help him to do so! With Federal help, and a Great Governor, like Steve Hilton, California can be better than ever before! Steve Hilton has my COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT. He will be a GREAT Governor and, importantly, WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP. Hilton is just one of more than a dozen Republican candidates seeking the GOP’s nomination in the 2026 California gubernatorial election. His campaign has been endorsed by former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Hollywood star Jon Voight, and the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk – who was assassinated in September. Hilton – a naturalized American citizen who was born in London – previously served as a director of strategy to former UK Prime Minister David Cameron. Hilton also hosted Fox News’ The Next Revolution between 2017 and 2023, and in 2020, demanded an investigation into alleged voter fraud after Trump was defeated by Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Democratic candidates seeking their party’s nomination in the 2026 California gubernatorial election include Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), former congresswoman Katie Porter, and billionaire Democratic donor Tom Steyer. The winner of the election will replace California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is ineligible to run for another term in office.The post Trump Endorses Former Fox News Host to Replace Gavin Newsom as California Governor first appeared on Mediaite.
