President Donald Trump opened a solemn Congressional Medal of Honor ceremony Thursday for three combat veterans by bragging about the stock market. Trump showed up about an hour late to the ceremony, causing the piano player in the room to vamp while the packed room waited. After the opening prayer, Trump began his remarks. “Thank you very much, everybody, and we’ll be seated. We have some very important business to take care of. I just do want to say, though, the stock market just hit a new all-time high. The 401ks has hit a new all-time high, and oil is dropping like a rock. Other than that, it’s another day in paradise.” Trump continued, “Well, thank you very much, chaplain. And I have no higher privilege than serving as the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. I’m so proud of them. A 250-year tradition of the bravest and greatest heroes ever to walk the Earth. But only if you have received our highest military distinction, the Congressional Medal of Honor. I wanted to give it to myself, but I was informed I couldn’t do it, and I couldn’t find anything where I was actually worthy, so here we are.” The three recipients were Marine Corps Major James Capers, the late Marine Corps Colonel John W. Ripley, and Army Major Nicolas Dockery. Trump defended his much-maligned memorandum of understanding with Iran at the G-7 summit in France by saying he wanted to avoid an “economic catastrophe” through market instability and continued high oil prices. “I didn’t want to see economic catastrophe. If you kept this going, that could have happened,” Trump told reporters Wednesday. “All I know is every time we talked about the possibility of peace, the stock market shot up like a rocket ship,” Trump said. “Every time we said something negative, like, guess what, we’re not going to be able to settle, it would go down very big.” Watch the clip above via Fox News.The post Trump Opens Medal of Honor Ceremony by Announcing, ‘The Stock Market Just Hit an All-Time High’ first appeared on Mediaite.

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) President Donald Trump called on Senate Republicans to do away with the filibuster and pass his SAVE America Act, requiring voter I.D. — or he’ll be the very ‘last Republican president’ in history. The SAVE America Act passed the U.S. House of Representatives in February but stalled in the Senate, and now faces being blocked by a Democrat-led filibuster. Democrats have argued that the Act is simply a tactic to make voting harder for married women who change their names, and others who don’t have immediate access to their birth certificates or other forms of identification. “Anybody who doesn’t want to Terminate the Filibuster is a FOOL, a very stupid one, at that!” Trump raged on Truth Social Thursday afternoon. He continued: The Dumocrats will end it within minutes of taking office, and then rapidly proceed to destroy our Country, adding 2 Radical Left States, 4 Dumocrat Senators, many Congressmen/women, their dream of 21 Supreme Court Justices (Not just 13, an unlucky number!), an impossible to beat number of Electoral College Votes (and that’s the Ballgame!), “Popular” Vote Landslides, and so much else. The Republican Party will never win another Election. I will, sadly, be the last Republican President. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and the Republican Senate, must not let this “carnage” happen. They will go down on the wrong side of History, as will all Republicans who just stood by and watched. The Republican Party isn’t at stake, our Country is. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, AND IMMEDIATELY APPROVE THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. President DONALD J. TRUMP” Just over a week ago, Trump directed Republicans to advance a $350 billion Reconciliation Bill that would include the SAVE America Act, as well as huge provisions for the military. Trump wrote, “I am hereby calling on Republicans in Congress to IMMEDIATELY advance and pass the forthcoming $350 Billion Reconciliation Bill (Recon 3.0) — which, at the request of our Great Department of War — will include THE SAVE AMERICA ACT as well. No games, no delays, and no weak compromises! Do this ASAP.” The Senate has been sitting on that bill, and Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) warned that if the GOP was going to pass a third reconciliation bill, Republicans need to “saddle up and ride hard, because we’re running out of time.”The post Trump Warns He Will ‘Be the Last Republican President’ If His… [TheTopNews] Read More.15 hours ago - ‘What An Embarrassment’: Fox News Runs Scathing Supercut of Senators From Bo...
Screenshot via Fox News Fox News put together a scathing supercut of U.S. Senators knocking President Donald Trump’s deal with Iran this week. Fox posted the clip to social media with the caption, “‘What an embarrassment.’ GOP and Democrat senators are casting doubt on President Trump’s Iran peace deal, with lawmakers from both parties criticizing the agreement and raising concerns about its potential impact.” The caption added: “Giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea.” “I think the president unfortunately is receiving bad advice on this deal.” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is the first senator Fox caught up with in the clip, he says, “Giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea. I think the President, unfortunately, is receiving bad advice on his deal.” “I was just going to ask you about the Iran deal, what you think about it?” a Fox reporter is then shown asking Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to comment as he waves them off and walks away. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) appears next and adds, “For this whole nuclear deal now, no better than what we had back in 2015, back when Barack Obama cut the deal. And that’s where Donald Trump winds us up after all of this. What an embarrassment.” The supercut then shows Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) walking away as he’s asked to comment. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) then adds, “We went to war for what? The idea of doing something that straits up our moves. The straits are being used peacefully before our invasion. And now we have to negotiate they’ll be used peacefully in the future.” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is shown next, fuming, “It’s going to get access to his frozen assets. And what is Iran giving up for this? Nothing. Nothing. They’re merely reaffirming what they’ve said before about nuclear weapons.” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) adds, “All I’ve seen is public reporting about it, but the public reporting to me suggests we’re giving up an awful lot more to get a lot less than the JCPOA.” "What an embarrassment."

AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File The Supreme Court issued an opinion Thursday finding that a federal law barring anyone who is “an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance” from having a gun was “inconsistent” with the Second Amendment, at least as far as it was enforced against the plaintiff in the case. The court’s ruling in United States v. Hemani, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, was unanimous on the core points and four separate concurring opinions debating the scope of the constitutional rights in this situation. The case arose from the arrest of Ali Danial Hemani, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Pakistan who was born in Texas and lived in the Dallas area with his parents. In 2022, the FBI searched his family home based on suspicion of terrorist activities. The opinion described Hemani as being “cooperative” during the search process, voluntarily surrendering a gun he had in the house, showing agents where he had some marijuana, and admitting that he “used marijuana about every other day.” The records show that the FBI found 60 grams of marijuana, 4.7 grams of cocaine, and a Glock 19 9mm pistol during their search. No charges were brought against Hemani or any of his relatives on the terrorism charges. However, over six months later, based on Hemani’s admission he used marijuana, he was arrested and prosecuted for a violation of 18 U. S. C. §922(g)(3) for knowingly buying, owning, or possessing a gun while being an “unlawful user of” or “addicted to” a “controlled substance.” This is a felony offense and carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison. That federal statute found itself in news stories a few years ago when Hunter Biden was prosecuted for violating it, initially saying he intended to challenge the constitutionality of the law before pleading guilty and then getting a pardon from his father, President Joe Biden. Hemani filed a motion to dismiss the indictment on Second Amendment grounds, the district court agreed with his argument and granted the motion, the government appealed to the Fifth Circuit, the appellate court again ruled in Hemani’s favor, and then the government petitioned the Supreme Court to review the case. “The government’s prosecution of Mr. Hemani under §922(g)(3)’s unlawful user provision is inconsistent with the Second Amendment,” wrote Gorsuch. To explain his decision, Gorsuch cited a 2022 case, New York State Rifle and… [TheTopNews] Read More.16 hours ago - ‘What Can I Do for the 800 People Watching?’ Tom Hanks Drops Zinger About MS...Tom Hanks took a savage dig at MS NOW during a live segment from the opening ceremony for The Obama Presidential Center, asking what he should do for the “800 people watching.” MS NOW’s Jacob Soboroff was at the star-studded Thursday ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center and talked to supporters of former President Barack Obama as well as some of the celebrities in attendance during his extensive live coverage. At one point, Soboroff ran into Hanks, who gave an interview after having some fun at the network’s expense. “What can I do for the 800 people watching MS NOW?” Hanks asked Soboroff. “Oh, come on. We’re live on MS NOW,” Soboroff responded. “Okay, add a zero to it if you need to,” Hanks joked. “I would say millions now that you’re on our air,” Soboroff said. “Alright, alright,” Hanks said before the proper interview began. Hanks, who is currently starring in Toy Story 5, went on to praise Barack Obama’s words at the event, while also admitting the heat for the outdoor event was so problematic that he was applauding with his fan on his head at one point. The Oscar-winning actor, a longtime supporter of Obama, said: I think he said something beautiful… that this is not about nostalgia. This is not about a magic time, a gauzy time when, oh gosh, we solved all the problems in the world. We made history. A Black man, Black American, was finally in the White House. This is about the work that continues every single day. I love that he said [that], and also the fabulous Michelle [Obama]. Those are about the — I want to get transcripts of those and read them to my kids when I get home. Soboroff circled back to Hanks’s joke about ratings, taking it in stride at the end of the interview. “Thanks for stopping by and for adding the zero to our ratings today, thank you so much,” he said. “I can hear the clicks happening before my very eyes!” Hanks responded. In reality, MS NOW does not get 800 viewers or even 8,000, but in light of Hanks’s ribbing, it should be noted that the network has seen some gains as of late. According to Nielsen data from the month of May, the network averaged around 1.34 million weekday total primetime viewers. Shows like The Weeknight, The Briefing, and Morning… [TheTopNews] Read More.16 hours ago
- ‘Go After Me’: Gavin Newsom Rages At Trump Amid DOJ InvestigationCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) dared President Donald Trump to “go after” him amid an ongoing investigation into Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, by the Department of Justice. On Monday, Newsom announced that Trump’s DOJ had opened the investigation into him and his wife via a post to X and, subsequently, a press release from his office. “Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list,” he wrote in the X post. “He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime – they are simply trying to find one. He isn’t coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President. He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history. We have nothing to hide. Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere. The country is watching.” Newsom doubled down on his call for Trump to “come after” him while speaking to MS Now reporter Jacob Soboroff at the opening of former President Barack Obama‘s Presidential Center in Chicago. “This is stuff that happens in other countries,” Newsom said. “That’s all I’ll say, happens in other countries. He wants to go after me? Go after me.” Soboroff also asked Jennifer Siebel Newsom for her comments on the investigation, which she deflected, offering praise for Obama instead. “I’m just so grateful for this inspiration and leadership,” she said, gesturing to her surroundings at the opening event. “We need more of this!” Newsom and Trump have constantly been at each other’s throats, with Newsom vowing to seek a 100 percent tax on any money California residents may receive from the “anti-weaponization” fund announced by Trump’s DOJ last month. “Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we wanna tax 100 percent of those proceeds,” he said in a video posted to social media. “And that’s an action the state of California can take. It’s an action we look forward to taking. ” Watch above via MS NOW.The post ‘Go After Me’: Gavin Newsom Rages At Trump Amid DOJ Investigation first appeared on Mediaite.
