JD Vance Responds To Report He Opposes Iran War Behind Closed Doors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President J.D. Vance disputed reports Friday that he quietly opposes the U.S.’ strikes against Iran.

Officials alleged that Vance opposed the U.S. intervention in Iran and expressed skepticism about President Donald Trump’s decision to launch Operation Epic Fury in late February, according to Politico. Vance said while he would not publicly discuss his private conversations on the matter, he ensured that the president and his advisers discussed what actions needed to be taken to “best protect the American people.”

“But imagine the situation, we’re in the Situation Room, where you can’t even take your iPod in there, or your AirPods, I guess what they’re called, you can’t take your iPhone in there, you can’t take anything in there, because it is the most classified space anywhere in the world,” Vance said. “And I sit there with Pete Hegseth and General Kane and Marco Rubio and the entire White House team, and the President and I and the entire senior team are talking about the options and about what we need to do and about how we must best protect the American people.”


“I hate to disappoint you, but I’m not going to show up here in front of God and everybody else and tell you exactly what I said in that classified room, partially because I don’t want to go to prison, and partially because I think it’s important for the president of the United States to be able to talk to his advisers without those advisers running their mouth to the American media,” Vance continued.

One anonymous source told Politico that Vance was “worried about success” and “just opposes” the war in Iran, while another official said Vance is “fully on board” with Trump’s decisions once they are made. Vance defended the U.S.’s military actions in Iran during a March 2 interview with Fox News, saying that the strikes intended to deter Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Dramatic Moment Bessent is Yanked from Interview for Urgent Talks in Situation Room: ‘President wants you right away’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who was in the middle of an interview, to the White House Situation Room as the administration deals with the financial fallout of the Iran war.

Bessent, 63, was speaking with Sky News’ Wilfred Frost of “The Master Investor Podcast” on Thursday inside the Treasury Department’s Cash Room when an aide suddenly interrupted roughly 13 minutes into the conversation.

“The president wants you right away,” the aide told Bessent from off-camera, according to a clip shared on X by the outlet.

A microphone was removed from Bessent’s jacket as he left the building at 10:22 a.m., according to the outlet’s timestamp. The top economic official returned nearly two hours later.

Bessent said he discussed a “plethora of things” during his meeting with Trump. (Read more from “Dramatic Moment Bessent is Yanked from Interview for Urgent Talks in Situation Room: ‘President wants you right away’” HERE)

Joe Rogan Has Knock-Down, Drag-Out Fight With Michael Shellenberger Over Whether Epstein Was Murdered

/0 Comments/in , /by

Podcast host Joe Rogan sparred with journalist Michael Shellenberger over the likelihood that deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in prison during a Tuesday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

Tova Noel, one of Epstein’s prison guards, searched for information on him on Google just minutes before he was discovered deceased and made a strange $5,000 deposit ten days prior to his death, according to Department of Justice records, the New York Post reported on Saturday. Rogan cited the new information on his podcast among other details that made him believe Epstein likely was killed, but Shellenberger was unconvinced, leading to nearly 15 minutes of back-and-forth.

“Epstein’s brother’s examiner said that he broke his hyoid bone and the hyoid bone is not usually broken in hangings, only in strangulations,” Shellenberger said. “Actually, it is broken in hangings, particularly for older people.”

“But it was broken in three places,” Rogan responded. “And it’s low on his neck.”

Shellenberger dismissed Rogan’s pushback. The host then brought up the revelations in the DOJ documents on Noel, which Shellenberger also dismissed. (Read more from “Joe Rogan Has Knock-Down, Drag-Out Fight With Michael Shellenberger Over Whether Epstein Was Murdered” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Claims Trump’s Push For ‘UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER’ From Iran Means Troops Can ‘Rape Your Wife and Daughter’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Tucker Carlson argued President Donald Trump’s call for Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” will require significant military force because historically that has meant troops get to rape the women and children of the conquered nation.

He said the U.S. would “presumably” have to use nuclear weapons to achieve that goal, since the Iranians will likely fight like hell to make sure they are not vulnerable to mass sexual assaults. Carlson made his claim during an interview with Breaking Points co-host Saagar Enjeti on Friday.

“Unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter if they want. And everyone knows that,” Carlson said.

He continued, “If there is one consistent lesson of history it means unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter. Everyone can feel that. That’s like the most atavistic instinct there is. And so to avoid that, people will do anything.”

Carlson continued his argument by saying:

So that’s why it requires that level of force, to get a population subdued to the point of unconditional surrender. That’s why. And so in this case, of course we don’t have the ground force necessary — I don’t think Americans would voluntarily participate in it, I just don’t think we can do that. It would require weapons of mass destruction. It would require, presumably, nuclear weapons. And let’s not lie to ourselves, we’re moving toward that.

‘Ding-Dong Ditch’ Goes Sideways Yet Again as Teen Gets Shot Amid Popular Prank, Officials Say

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Once again, the popular “ding-dong ditch” prank — in which young people bang on front doors of homes, typically late at night, and run away — has ended with a teenager getting shot.

Sheriff Mike McCormick of Garland County, Arkansas, said a 16-year-old male suffered a gunshot wound during a reported “ding-dong ditch” prank in the area of Marion Anderson Road on Feb. 27.

The sheriff said the 911 Communications Center late in the evening received multiple complaints of vehicles in the area with subjects wearing hoods and masks who were kicking and hitting residential doors.

While patrol deputies were performing an initial investigation, officials said they received another report about a subject who suffered a gunshot wound and was at a local hospital.

Sheriff’s office investigators responded in order to collect surveillance, witness statements, and related evidence, officials said, and they determined that reports of subjects kicking and hitting residential doors and the shooting were related incidents.

Iran Warns U.S. Will ‘Bitterly Regret’ Sinking Warship, Calls for Trump’s Blood

/0 Comments/in , , /by

You’ll be sorry. That was the warning from Iran to the U.S. on Thursday as it responded to the torpedoing of an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, with a Muslim leader adding a call for “Trump’s blood.”

As Breitbart News reported, the U.S. Navy sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena Tuesday night in the Indian Ocean which Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has since decried as “an atrocity at sea.”

A U.S. nuclear-powered submarine delivered the fatal blow in international waters off Sri Lanka as part of Operation Epic Fury.

“Frigate Dena, a guest of India’s Navy carrying almost 130 sailors, was struck in international waters without warning,” Abbas Araghchi wrote on social media.

“Mark my words: The U.S. will come to bitterly regret (the) precedent it has set.”

Epstein Deposition Videos Show Bill Clinton Shaking and Furious Hillary Pounding the Table to Storm Off: ‘I’m Done With This’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Dramatic new footage of the Clinton depositions released by the powerful House Oversight Committee shows how a frustrated Hillary Clinton nearly stormed out after firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert snapped an unsanctioned photo of her.

The former Secretary of State got into epic shouting matches with MAGA firebrands during her sworn testimony last week, while her husband, whose hands were shaking throughout his deposition, finally gave answers to longstanding questions about his ties to late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.

“I am done with this if you guys are doing this, I’m done,” a shocked and furious-looking Hillary raged after one of her attorneys raised concerns about a photo of her that appeared online.

“You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home,” she fumed. “This is just typical behavior.”

Boebert copped to taking a photo of Hillary, but claimed to have done so before the hearing kicked off. Hillary vented that “it doesn’t matter, we all are abiding by the same rules.”

She pounded the table with her fist and started to leave. The deposition then went off the record, and Hillary ultimately returned.

Viral Video Shows Kuwaiti Approaching US Air Force Pilot Who Ejected From Fighter Jet

Video of an apparent interaction between a Kuwaiti citizen and a U.S. Air Force pilot who ejected from an F-15 fighter jet went viral online.

Three U.S. military jets were shot down from the sky in Kuwait, and reports initially assumed they were downed by Iran’s military forces. U.S. Central Command later indicated the incidents were the result of “friendly fire” from Kuwaiti air defenses.

The video shows the perspective of the Kuwaiti walking up to the soldier, who smiles as the man greets her and reassures her she is in friendly hands.

“You’re fine? Really? Do you need something to help you?” the man asks.

“No, I’m OK,” she replies.

“No problem, you’re safe, you’re safe. You’re safe,” he repeats. “Everything good? No problem.”

Trump Says He Doesn’t Like Seeing Bill Clinton Deposed By Congress

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said Friday that he did not like seeing former President Bill Clinton be forced to testify before the House Oversight Committee.

Clinton testified before the committee about his past relationship with deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following the Department of Justice (DOJ) releasing files in connection to Epstein. Before he boarded Marine One, Trump told reporters that he did not like seeing Clinton deposed by Congress.

“I don’t like seeing him deposed,” Trump said. “But, you know, they certainly went after me a lot more than that. But I don’t like seeing him deposed. I like him and I don’t like seeing him deposed.”

Clinton said in a Friday statement that he never witnessed any wrongdoing from Epstein and had no knowledge of any wrongdoing. He also criticized the Oversight Committee for deposing former first lady Hillary Clinton, who he assured had never met Epstein, traveled with him or visited any of his properties.

A photograph released by the DOJ in December 2025 showed Clinton in a hot tub next to Epstein and several girls. More photos showed Clinton socializing with Epstein’s former business partners, Ghislaine Maxwell, and smiling with Epstein at what appeared to be a dinner party.

RFK Jr Isn’t Happy With Trump’s Order Backing Notorious Pesticide

/0 Comments/in , /by

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed that he was unhappy with President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to boost the domestic production of glyphosate during a Friday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

White House senior advisor Calley Means said during a Thursday speech that the order was “disappointing” and that Kennedy was similarly “disappointed” about it. Kennedy said on the podcast that he was not “particularly happy” with the order to put it “mildly,” noting he spent decades combating pesticides.

“I’ve spent 40 years fighting pesticides. I was part of the trial team on the Monsanto case, which was the team that won three cases in a row and then got an $11 billion settlement with Monsanto, which is now Bayer … But pesticides are poison,” Kennedy said. “They’re designed to kill all life. It’s not a good thing to have in your food … so it’s not something that I was particularly happy with. Let me put it that way mildly.”

However, Kennedy also defended Trump for signing the order, saying he understood his perspective.

“The president didn’t create this system. He’s dealing with a problem that was created long before, over the past 60 years, when, through federal policies and subsidies and the management of farming in this country — the agricultural management — we have addicted our farmers to these pesticides, and particularly glyphosate,” he said. “Glyphosate is the foundational pesticide of our food production system.” (Read more from “RFK Jr Isn’t Happy With Trump’s Order Backing Notorious Pesticide” HERE)
