- Charles Barkley Roasts Cleveland Cavs After Series-Ending Loss Against NY Knicks...
Screenshot Charles Barkley went off on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday after an abysmal first half in the team’s series-ending blowout loss to the New York Knicks. The Cavaliers were down in the series 3-0 heading into Sunday’s win-or-go-home Game 4. Unfortunately for the Cavs, it didn’t take long for the Knicks to begin pulling away. At halftime, the Knicks led 68-49 before eventually winning 130-93. Barkley was incredibly disappointed in the Cavalier’s first-half effort. During Inside the NBA’s halftime show, host Ernie Johnson revealed to viewers that Barkley “requested special time” to begin their breakdown of the action. Barkley then introduced a graphic displaying the definition of the word “quit.” “If you want to see what the word quit means, to give up, the verb of that is Cavaliers.” The “see also” portion of the definition in the graphic read, “Cavaliers in Game 4 vs. Knicks.” Barkley continued with a breakdown of some examples of low-effort plays. “They were down 29, Kenny!” Barkley said to analyst Kenny Smith. “Kenny, look. This is just effort here. Come on, man. This is just effort. Look at this here… No, watch this here! I got a little thing here– Look here. Come on, Kenny.” Chuck teaches the kids at home what the word 'quit' means pic.twitter.com/dLcblwyKxY — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) May 26, 2026 The highlight reel included numerous clips of the Knicks getting defensive rebounds and quickly turning them into uncontested baskets in transition. Shaquille O’Neal pointed out that the Knicks outscored the Cavaliers 26-3 in fast break points. “I believed they were gonna get their ass whooped,” Barkley continued, “and that’s what’s gonna happen.”The post Charles Barkley Roasts Cleveland Cavs After Series-Ending Loss Against NY Knicks: ‘If You Wanna See What the Word Quit Means…’ first appeared on Mediaite.

(Photo by Samuel Corum/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) Katie Miller accused Politico of pushing “anti-American propaganda” about the U.S. Military on Tuesday morning — and pointed out the Washington, D.C.-focused site is owned by a German media giant. Miller — the wife of President Donald Trump’s longtime adviser Stephen Miller – bashed the outlet in an X post. She was responding to an opinion article that said America “has the most powerful military in human history. It also hasn’t won a war in more than 30 years.” She didn’t like that slant. “Politico was purchased by the Germans,” Miller posted. “This is anti-American propaganda pushed by a company once founded in DC.” Politico was purchased by the Germans. This is anti-American propaganda pushed by a company once founded in DC. https://t.co/iVZflmABCL — Katie Miller (@KatieMiller) May 26, 2026 Miller was referring to Axel Springer buying the outlet in 2021. As for the aforementioned article she didn’t like, it was written by Ivo Daalder, who was the U.S. Ambassador to NATO from 2009 to 2013 under ex-President Barack Obama. Daalder is now a senior fellow at Harvard’s Belfer Center. Daalder argued the Iran war is another in a long line of botched military operations by the U.S. “Since 1945, the U.S. has fought major wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran. Among them, only the 1991 Gulf War counts as a genuine success — and even that planted the seeds of future disaster,” he wrote. “Meanwhile, the outcomes of the rest range from stalemate and defeat to strategic catastrophe, with Iran perhaps being the worst strategic blunder the U.S. has made post-World War II.” Daalder later argued that President Donald Trump was the “most extreme expression” of a problem in Washington — where politicians treat “war not as a continuation of policy but as the failure of policy — a last resort that is reached when diplomacy collapses, often with no set political outcome in mind.” His Tuesday article comes after Trump said over the weekend that a peace deal with Iran will “be announced shortly.” The post Stephen Miller’s Wife Slams Politico’s German Owners for ‘Anti-American Propaganda’ on US Military first appeared on Mediaite.

Credit: mpi34/MediaPunch /IPX The Democratic National Committee (DNC) quietly deleted a Memorial Day social media post late Monday that used the occasion to swipe at President Donald Trump for the deaths of 13 U.S. service members killed in the Iran conflict after an public bipartisan backlash. The now-deleted post, published Monday, featured images of troops killed early in the military conflict with Iran and declared: “Today, we honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump’s war with Iran.” (Screengrab via X) The message quickly drew condemnation from within the party, with Democratic lawmakers accusing the DNC of exploiting fallen service members for political messaging on a national day of remembrance. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), a veteran who lost both legs in combat in 2004, publicly rebuked the post as “incredibly distasteful.” It is incredibly distasteful to use our heroic dead for a political attack on Memorial Day. I’m a Democrat and I condemn this post by the DNC. https://t.co/2lqI4jGcnd — Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) May 25, 2026 Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), a former Army Ranger who completed tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, also lashed out at the post as “wrong.” If we want the moral high ground, we have to be better. I fought for our country and served with those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It’s wrong to politicize this day. I won’t hesitate to call out my own team when we fall short. https://t.co/cGNTBbIs9K — Rep. Jason Crow (@RepJasonCrow) May 25, 2026 Republican National Committee chair Joe Gruters called the it the “most disgusting” post he’d “ever seen”: Using Memorial Day to politically exploit fallen service members is appalling and disgraceful. One of the most disgusting posts I have ever seen. https://t.co/lCkIYgGyPc — Chairman Joe Gruters (@ChairmanGruters) May 25, 2026 The Pentagon weighed in: This is one of the most classless, disrespectful, and vile posts using America’s fallen warriors as props to try to score cheap political points against President Trump. Their sacrifice should NEVER be exploited, especially on Memorial Day. pic.twitter.com/Ta5EnaeB8e — DOW Rapid Response (@DOWResponse) May 25, 2026 The post was later removed but, even then, the Republican Party pressed for a public explanation: .@TheDemocrats why’d you delete your post politicizing the deaths of fallen service members? https://t.co/yMMPDLFu20 pic.twitter.com/GDa9Q0STDz — Republicans (@Republicans) May 26, 2026 The… [TheTopNews] Read More.29 mins ago - ‘Don’t Go!’ Joe Scarborough Reveals He Warned Trump Against Going Into Ira...
Joe Scarborough revealed Tuesday that he personally warned President Donald Trump against going into Iran in a private phone call. In a scorching commentary on Morning Joe, Scarborough said that the president was repeatedly advised against an Iran incursion. “Let me tell you what experts told everybody about Iran — don’t go!” Scarborough said. “Don’t go into Iran! Because if you go into Iran, they’ll cut off the strait immediately! … People have been saying it since the early 1980s. You can’t do it because they’ll cut off this strait. And yet they did it anyway. So the so-called experts were warning him — David Ignatius, every day on this show, every day on this show leading up to the war, what did he say? ‘Mr. President, with all due respect, sir, Iran is not Venezuela.'” The Morning Joe host then shared with his MS NOW audience that he actually made a personal appeal to the commander in chief. “I told him on the phone, ‘Iran is not Venezuela!'” Scarborough said. “‘Don’t listen to Lindsey Graham! Don’t do it! Iran is not Venezuela!’ But he thought it was. Experts told him it wasn’t. If he had talked to anybody on the Iran desk in the CIA, they would have said, ‘No, this is a nightmare. You will get entangled in a quagmire there. Don’t go!’ And so, experts… sometimes, actually, you need to pick up the phone and call one or two of them, because they will stop you from getting involved in what Bob Kagan, an expert, says could be one of the greatest military defeats in the past century.” Watch above, via MS NOW.The post ‘Don’t Go!’ Joe Scarborough Reveals He Warned Trump Against Going Into Iran in Phone Call With President first appeared on Mediaite.

Rubio ripped Iran for blocking naval traffic while flying back to the U.S. on Tuesday morning. “The straits have to be open. They’re going to be open one way or the other, so they need to be open,” Rubio said. He continued, “What’s happening there is unlawful, it’s illegal, it’s unsustainable for the world. It’s unacceptable. I don’t know of any country in the world that doesn’t [feel that way].” His remarks come as the complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz has become a key point for President Donald Trump as he negotiates with Iran. The strait’s effective closure has left gas prices surging higher since the start of the Iran war; a barrel of oil cost around $67 on February 27, the day before joint U.S. and Israeli strikes hit Iran and killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Oil barrels have been hovering around $100 since then, although optimism around a possible peace deal led to oil dropping 4% to $92.70 on Tuesday morning. Trump announced last weekend that a deal with Iran would “be announced shortly,” although reports later indicated the agreement could take a week to hammer out. CNN’s Scott Jennings posted on X on Sunday that the deal was “95%” done, but the two sides were still “haggling over some language.” He also posted some key details on the framework, which he said he received after a “briefing” from a senior Trump official. “Iran must turn over nuclear stockpile to get anything. USA position is that failure to meet deal commitments means Iran gets nothing,” Jennings reported. He also said the the U.S. was not giving money to Iran and that the “initial deal point is to re-establish free flow of commerce by reopening Strait of Hormuz.” Watch above via CNN.The post ‘It’s Unacceptable’: Marco Rubio Insists Strait of Hormuz Will Open ‘One Way or the Other’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Spencer Pratt Clashes With Reporter in Feisty Interview on LA’s Homeless Crisi...Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt (R) slammed the city’s approach to handling its homelessness crisis and shared his game plan for fixing the problem in a feisty back-and-forth on local TV that went viral over the weekend. Pratt was prodded about how he would tackle the issue in an interview with ABC 7 reporter Josh Haskell on May 22. The ex-reality TV star contended that the bigger issue is that most of the homeless people are abusing drugs, not a lack of housing. He also called out Mayor Karen Bass (D) for just throwing tax money at the problem, but not doing anything to address the drugs. “What are your plans for the over 40,000 homeless in Los Angeles?” Haskell asked. “Yeah, well, they’re not homeless — they’re drug addicts. Most of these people are addicted to fentanyl and meth. This isn’t Spencer making it up-” Pratt started to say. “Are you saying they don’t have homes?” Haskell jumped in to ask. “There is places for all of these people to sleep in LA. No matter what anybody tells you, we have housing and shelter for everyone living on the street,” Pratt said. “They are choosing to be on the street because they wanna do drugs, they don’t want rules, they want to have animals to abuse. This idea that they’re forced on the street right now is a lie that our city is perpetuating.” He then said the city has spent $24 billion to house the homeless, but that most would rather stay on the streets and “torture” animals and do drugs. When Haskell brought up Pratt’s plan to build treatment facilities for the homeless and said it would take “time to build the facility,” Pratt scoffed. He said it would take just days to do it. Pratt added that LA has been taken advantage of by “scam NGOs” and “scam homeless nonprofits” that bus homeless people into the city. “These are products to a lot of people,” Pratt said. He said if he becomes mayor, they can all go to Seattle, where democratic socialist Mayor Katie Wilson “will welcome them.” Haskell’s conversation with Pratt grabbed a lot of attention on X over the last few days, with one clip racking up 31 million views by Tuesday morning.
