- MAGA Cries ‘Christian Discrimination’ Over NBA Player Cut From Team After Co...
Screenshot The MAGA base has rushed to the defense of NBA player Jaden Ivey after he was release following a series of controversial rants about religion. Over the last few days, Ivey posted a handful of lengthy rants on Instagram. Each video was over half an hour, and the rants largely dealt with topics involving religion. In one, Ivey slammed the NBA for celebrating LGBTQ pride and claimed the league was embracing “unrighteousness.” On Monday afternoon, the Chicago Bulls — who traded for Ivey in February — announced that he had been waived from the team. He was shut down for the season days earlier due to injury. pic.twitter.com/nV6zlJ0yOi — Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) March 30, 2026 Conservative Christians were quick to defend Ivey online and accuse the NBA of discrimination. OutKick’s Riley Gaines declared herself a “Jaden Ivey fan” after his release. “We live in a world that hates Christ and those who believe in Him, but that’s to be expected,” Gaines said. “Just as He was persecuted, so will we be. Consider me a Jaden Ivey fan.” We live in a world that hates Christ and those who believe in Him, but that's to be expected. Just as He was persecuted, so will we be. Consider me a Jaden Ivey fan. — Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) March 31, 2026 Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist, claimed Ivey was “fired” for “being Christian.” “The conduct they are claiming is detrimental is Christianity,” he said. “They fired Jaden Ivey for being Christian. “Worth noting the Bulls didn’t fire Ronnie Brewer after he was arrested for DUI. Or Joakim Noah after he was arrested for possession of drugs. When Jameson Curry was arrested for public urination and then resisted arrest, the Bulls suspended him for one game, but also refused to fire him for his conduct. Christianity is apparently where the Chicago Bulls draw the line,” added Davis. Countless others jumped on the Bulls’ tweet. You should be ashamed of yourselves. https://t.co/Eoh55Mowyy — Kevin Sorbo (@ksorbs) March 31, 2026 We need to be VERY clear. The @chicagobulls are kicking Jaden Ivey off the team for being an out and open Christian who lived out his faith by opposing @NBA LGBTQ+ Pride events. EVERY single NBA player needs to speak up for @JadensIV now or their religious freedom could be next. https://t.co/kzs7u28CA5… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - AFP, Getty Images Removed ‘Unflattering’ Photo of Karoline Leavitt After Whi...
AP Photo/Alex Brandon AFP and Getty Images removed an unflattering photo of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt from their image libraries after being made aware that the White House was unhappy. According to Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter, the photo – taken by AFP photographer Andrew Caballero-Reynolds and depicting Leavitt with her son next to a turkey at the White House on Thanksgiving – was removed after AFP was made aware that the White House was displeased with the image. After being removed from AFP’s library, it was then automatically removed from Getty Images, effectively wiping the photo from existence. AFP Director of Communications Gregoire Lemarchand confirmed in a statement that the photo was removed after the agency was “made aware” of the White House’s displeasure. Lemarchand insisted, however, that the decision to remove the photo was “an internal editorial one, based on our standard quality and selection criteria,” and not the result of pressure from the White House. “While we were made aware that White House staff found the photo unflattering, we want to be clear that there was no formal request to remove it, nor was there any external pressure involved,” Lemarchand told Status. He added, “During high-volume events like White House briefings, our desk often receives a large influx of photos directly from the photographer’s camera, which are moved quickly by the editor on duty to ensure timely delivery… Upon a subsequent review of the day’s production, our editor-in-chief determined that this specific image did not meet our editorial standards. The angle was poor and, more importantly, we already had a selection of superior images from the same event available on the wire.” Ironically, after news of the photo’s removal was reported on Tuesday, the image went viral on social media, where it received thousands of likes and shares.

LEFT: The New York Times building (Beata Zawrzel/NurPhoto via AP) RIGHT: Nick Fuentes (Screenshot) The New York Times published the dubious claim that the term “J-pilled” is “far-right slang for skepticism of Israeli influence” on Monday in a news story about the Conservative Political Action Conference written by Nathan Taylor Pemberton. “As the first day of the Conservative Political Action Conference wound to a close, the audience inside the airplane-hangar-size ballroom had dwindled as Nick Shirley, the headline speaker, mumbled his remarks. Mr. Shirley, a 23-year-old content creator and recently minted right-wing celebrity, had been tapped by the conference’s organizers to bring a youthful jolt of energy to the proceedings. But youths themselves, and their conservative energy, were nowhere to be seen among the rows of empty chairs, as Mr. Shirley made halting reference to Theodore Roosevelt’s ‘Man in the Arena’ speech,” wrote Pemberton. “Just outside the hall, 20-somethings in rumpled suits were gathered in clusters, debating the merits of a ground invasion in Iran, the conservative backlash against those who were ‘J-pilled’ (far-right slang for skepticism of Israeli influence), the backbreaking costs of American life, and what they saw as the slow demise of the Trump era.” Pemberton went on to describe Nick Fuentes as a “27-year-old white nationalist known for making racist and antisemitic remarks,” who “has become a pariah within the conservative movement for, among other reasons, his recent declaration that young conservatives should express their displeasure with Mr. Trump’s military strikes on Iran by voting for Democrats.” Fuentes is a Holocaust denier who has submitted that “Hitler was awesome,” “a lot of women want to be raped,” and “Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part.” The curious assertion that “J-pilled” referred to skepticism of Israel rather than anti-Semitism (hence the “J”) caught the attention of some observers online. “How did multiple @nytimes editors look at this story and not ask what the ‘J’ stood for?” wondered Jewish Insider executive editor Melissa Weiss. “Here’s a hint: It isn’t ‘Israel.'” How did multiple @nytimes editors look at this story and not ask what the “J” stood for?

Pro-Trump New York Post writer Lydia Moynihan ripped the “mixed messaging” about President Donald Trump’s war with Iran, and noted that “we are a month into it and still don’t have a clear strategy.” As the Iran war enters its second month, even some of the president’s most fervent supporters have begun to question the conflicting messages that have been a consistent feature of the mission known as Operation Epic Fury. On Monday’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip hosted Moynihan along with Marc Short, Ana Navarro, Charles Blow, and former Iran political prisoner Kian Tajbakhsh. During one segment, Moynihan doubled back to rip what she sees as as signs of “mission creep”: LYDIA MOYNIHAN: I mean, it is interesting, Charles, though, there’s reporting that the Gulf allies actually are pushing Trump now to potentially oust the government, which, frankly, I think is a new thing. This kind of chatter about regime change is not something that I think the base is supportive of or wants to get behind. And I think back to your original question, Abby, we heard initially that it was going to be weeks, not months, with this war and we are a month into it and still don’t have a clear strategy. And that mixed messaging is confusing to the base who has been supportive, if you look at the polling of what Trump wants to do. But as the narrative changes, that seems like an early indication potentially of mission creep. KIAN TAJBAKHSH: But I have something to say about regime change. I think one of the things we have to avoid is assuming that it’s a one-sided game. This is a two-person game. That is to say, the decision for regime change — and, by the way, I don’t think at the beginning there was a claim for regime change. ANA NAVARRO: I know there was. TAJBAKHSH: Well, it’s very clear that what the United States wants is a change of behavior of the regime. Frankly, they don’t particularly care, and I don’t particularly care as an Iranian democracy activist, who is in power in Iran, you know, just so that they stop killing the people inside Iran.

President Donald Trump’s top war leaders were confronted at a briefing over his threat to destroy a desalination plant and the policy of “no quarter,” both of which have been criticized as potential war crimes. In an early-morning rant on Monday, Trump threatened — among other things — “blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!),” which is a potential war crime. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth held a joint press conference on Tuesday morning alongside Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine to update the Pentagon press corps as the Iran war enters its second month. Toward the end of the briefing, a reporter asked Caine about the “legality” of striking the water plant. As he wrapped up his response, another shouted question challenged Hegseth’s declarations of “no quarter” to the enemy — which was ignored: REPORTER: Do you still believe – you said previously that the Iranian leadership would surrender – do you still believe that? And is the United States still committed to Dato’s collective defense? And to Chairman Cain, could you give us a sense of your thinking about the legality of striking desalinization plans if the President were to order that? SECRETARY OF DEFENSE PETE HEGSETH: I would just say that any mission that ends on our terms, go on and call it a surrender, call it defeat, call it what you want, we remain committed to a conflict that ends our terms and the President’s terms. There’s no doubt about that. And as far as NATO’s concerned, that’s a decision that’ll be left to the President, but I’ll just say a lot has been laid bare. A lot has shown to the world about what our allies would be willing to do for the United States of America when we undertake an effort of this scope on behalf of the free world. These are missiles that don’t even range the United States of America. They range allies and others. And yet, when we ask for additional assistance or simple access-facing overflight, we get questions or roadblocks or hesitations. And the President’s pointing out, you don’t have much of an alliance if you have countries that are not willing to stand with you when you need them. He’s simply pointing that out. And ultimately, it’ll be his decision of what that looks… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Trump’s Strait of Hormuz Blame Game Is Shameless. It’s Also Delusional.
AP Photo/Alex Brandon “Just TAKE IT.” That’s how President Donald Trump responded to American allies struggling to secure jet fuel through a Strait of Hormuz that the United States and Israel helped shut down, while gas prices at home have climbed to over a dollar a gallon in a single month, and economists are warning that a prolonged closure could tip an already precarious global economy into recession. The president who ordered the strikes that escalated a conflict now threatening one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints — through which roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply passes — is telling the countries absorbing the damage to figure it out themselves. Gas is approaching four dollars a gallon and climbing. Inflation, which the administration spent two years promising to vanquish, is about to get a second wind from an oil shock entirely of its own making. Global shipping is in chaos. And Trump’s contribution to the moment is a Truth Social post telling the United Kingdom to learn to fight. This isn’t isolationism. It isn’t even transactionalism. It is something more specific and more bizarre: a government actively creating a crisis, watching the damage spread, and then publicly disclaiming responsibility for it — in real time, in writing, with apparent satisfaction. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth offered the same argument in more measured terms, describing the Strait of Hormuz as “not just a United States of America problem set.” That’s true in the narrowest possible sense. But it misses the more relevant point: not every country helped create the conditions that led to its disruption. In fact, no country bears more responsibility for what’s happening in that strait right now than the United States and Israel. There has always been an implicit contract in American leadership of the global commons. The United States secures critical chokepoints and absorbs disproportionate responsibility. Allies align with U.S. policy and accept a system that, for all its imperfections, provides stability. That arrangement works because it’s credible — and because the party with the most leverage also accepts the most accountability. What’s emerging now breaks that logic at both ends. The administration is simultaneously acting as instigator and bystander. Willing to shape events. Unwilling to own what follows. And it isn’t breaking in a vacuum. More than a year of draconian tariffs, public insults, and loudly conditional commitments have already spent down the reservoir… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
