WATCH: Drag Queens Protest, Boo Trump in Kennedy Center Appearance

Several drag queens protested and booed President Donald Trump as he attended a performance of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday.

The president’s visit marked his first since the inauguration. Video captured the moment several drag queens stood up in the audience as he appeared:

The president has always hailed Les Misérables as his favorite musical. As Consequence recently reported, half the play’s cast decided to boycott the performance due to the president’s visit.

Several cast members of Les Misérables will not be performing “One Day More” at their Kennedy Center concert next month — instead, they’ll be performing one day less in direct protest against Donald Trump’s attendance.

As reported by CNN, between 10 and 12 members of the touring cast of Les Misérables will boycott their June 11th performance at the Kennedy Center, which is set to follow a fundraiser headlined by the president. According to the report, the entire cast was given the choice to sit out, with both lead actors and ensemble members opting to do so.

Poll: Majority Approve Trump Deploying National Guard to Quell Los Angeles Riots

A new poll shows that a majority of Americans approve of President Trump deploying National Guard troops to quell the ongoing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

Surveying 1,000 likely U.S. voters on June 10, the Insider Advantage poll showed roughly 59 percent of Americans support the president sending in the National Guard versus 39 percent opposed.

A recent CNN poll also showed that immigrants have dramatically shifted to the right, with a majority trusting Republicans (a 40-point shift) to handle the ongoing immigration crisis over Democrats.

Trump Issues Stern Warning to Radicals Planning Nationwide June 14 Protests

As President Donald Trump prepares to lead a patriotic parade on June 14—Flag Day and his 79th birthday—left-wing activists are already organizing counterprotests. While Trump supporters plan to celebrate the flag, the country, and a renewed sense of national unity, progressives are mobilizing to disrupt the event with demonstrations rooted in anti-American sentiment. From burning flags to shouting down veterans, the counterprotests will reflect a growing radicalism on the Left that sees patriotism as a threat.

According to reports, large-scale protests are being organized nationwide to counter President Trump’s upcoming military parade. Organizers are calling it the largest single-day anti-Trump demonstration since the start of his political career. . .

However, Trump warned those who plan to participate in the counterprotests, saying, “You will be met with heavy force.”

“This is people who hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday. (Read more from “Trump Issues Stern Warning to Radicals Planning Nationwide June 14 Protests” HERE)

Trump Reveals the Major Holdup in Iran Nuclear Deal

President Trump disclosed Monday that Iran is pushing hard for the right to continue enriching uranium in any new nuclear deal — which the US “can’t have.”

“They’re just asking for things that you can’t do,” Trump, 78, told reporters at the White House.

“They don’t want to give up what they have to give up. You know what that is? They seek enrichment. We can’t have enrichment. We want just the opposite. And so far, they’re not there.”

The president said US officials would meet again with their Iranian counterparts later this week — but indicated that an agreement was not close.

“I hate to say that, because the alternative is a very, very dire one, but they’re not there,” he said. “They have given us their thoughts on the deal, and I said, you know, it’s just not acceptable.”

Trump has expressed hope that Washington and Tehran can reach a new agreement to replace the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), from which the 45th president removed the US in 2018. (Read more from “Trump Reveals the Major Holdup in Iran Nuclear Deal” HERE)

Musk Posts Revealing Reaction in Response to Trump Saying He Wishes Him Well

President Trump’s relationship with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, which appeared to publicly blow up last week as the two feuded in public, took a softer tone on Monday when Musk responded to a clip of the president on X.

“We had a great relationship and I wish him well — very well, actually,” Trump said on Monday in a clip that was posted by conservative influencer ALX.

Musk responded to that post with a heart emoji on Monday evening.

Earlier in the day, Fox News Digital reported that the public spat between the two billionaires appeared to be losing steam after Musk seemingly issued support from Trump’s handling of the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

“Governor Gavin Newscum and ‘Mayor’ Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they’ve done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots,” Trump said late Sunday in the post Musk shared. “These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists.”

Additionally, Musk also re-posted one of Vice President JD Vance’s posts on X about the riots. (Read more from “Musk Posts Revealing Reaction in Response to Trump Saying He Wishes Him Well” HERE)

Trump Directs DHS, DOD to ‘Liberate Los Angeles’ Amid Riots: ‘Illegals Will Be Expelled’

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he has directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense (DOD) to aid in quelling civil unrest as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conduct raids in the city of Los Angeles.

The president said in a post that the directive will “liberate Los Angeles” while pledging to expel migrants in the United States illegally.

“A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve,” the president said.

“I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots. Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free,” he added.

‘It’s OK’: Trump, Musk Edge Toward Truce After Ugly Quarrel

White House aides scrambled to arrange peace talks Thursday after President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s vicious public spat threatened to derail the president’s signature legislative agenda, Politico reported.

Aides had arranged a private call for Friday, according to the outlet, though a senior White House official told The Daily Caller that while Musk “has expressed interest in a phone call, the President does not intend to speak to Musk today.” Staff reportedly prodded Trump to avoid insults and act tactfully, arguing a skirmish with the world’s richest man would only distract Republicans he still needs to muscle the multi-trillion-dollar package across the finish line, while Musk hinted at reconciliation after hedge fund titan Bill Ackman publicly begged the two men to “make peace for the benefit of our country.”

“Oh it’s OK,” Trump told Politico, responding to a question about the spat. “It’s going very well, never done better … the numbers are through the roof, the highest polls I’ve ever had and I have to go.”

The president’s nonchalant response Thursday marked a stark contrast to the ugly, days-long social media exchange that began when Musk blasted the “big beautiful bill’s” projected $2.4 billion price tag as “pork-filled” and a “disgusting abomination” on Tuesday.

The SpaceX founder continued to unleash a barrage of posts attacking the legislation’s fiscal impact, accusing Trump and congressional Republicans of abandoning conservative principles on government spending. Trump initially fired back with characteristic force — branding Musk “CRAZY” and threatening to terminate the many federal subsidies and contracts his companies enjoy — but White House staff successfully convinced him to temper his approach by Thursday afternoon, according to the outlet.

FBI Boss Kash Patel Has This Response to Musk Threat to Expose Trump in Jeffrey Epstein Files

FBI Director Kash Patel was in the middle of a two-hour interview on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Thursday when Elon Musk boldly claimed that President Trump’s presence in the Jeffrey Epstein files is why Attorney General Pam Bondi has yet to release them in full.

“I’m not participating in any of that conversation between Elon and Trump,” a surprised Patel said after learning of the shocking statement by the world’s richest man.

“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk,53, tweeted in the middle of a multi-hour rant against the president.

“[Donald Trump] is in the Epstein files. That’s the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT.”

“Jesus Christ,” Rogan said after reading out the message. “That’s a crazy thing to say. How does he know? Does he know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files? Or does he have access to the Epstein files?”

Patel responded that he didn’t “know how he would” know anything about the contents of the Epstein files, but declined to speak further about the feud. (Read more from “FBI Boss Kash Patel Has This Response to Musk Threat to Expose Trump in Jeffrey Epstein Files” HERE)

Ohr Memo Confirms Clinton Team Had Early Knowledge of Ukrainian Black Ledger

The newly released Nellie Ohr documents from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have already made waves for two major reasons. First, they show the FBI concluded Nellie Ohr lied to Congress and then failed to act on it. Second, they revealed an internal FBI “black hole” filing system designed to bury evidence that contradicted or disproved the Donald Trump-Russia narrative, shielding it not just from the public but from the FBI’s own agents.

Yet there’s more. Buried in the release is also confirmation of another key aspect of how the Russiagate smear unfolded, one that has so far escaped much attention: Clinton campaign operative Ohr appears to have had advance knowledge of the so-called “black ledger” operation by Ukrainian officials.

This operation ultimately led to the political downfall of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort in 2016. This information also provides more evidence that it wasn’t Trump who colluded with foreign powers against domestic opponents — it was Democrats.

While the broad outlines of this connection between the Clinton campaign and Ukraine have been known for some time, the newly released documents reveal the FBI was aware of Ohr’s foreknowledge as early as 2019. That’s when a report on her activities was written — but the FBI took no action.

Notably, this was before the first impeachment of President Trump, which was triggered by his inquiries into corruption in Ukraine. This detail confirms the strong likelihood that the Clinton campaign was more directly involved in the Ukrainian effort to smear Trump than was previously acknowledged.

Donald Trump ‘Very Surprised,’ ‘Disappointed’ by Elon Musk’s Harsh Criticism of Big Beautiful Bill; Trump Accuses Elon Musk of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump on Thursday said he was “very surprised” and “disappointed” by Elon Musk’s sharp criticism of the Big Beautiful Bill.

“I’ve always liked Elon. And so I was very surprised. You saw the words he had for me, and he hasn’t said anything about me that’s bad. I’d rather have him criticize me than the bill. Because the bill is incredible,” Trump said during a White House meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

“Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will any more,” he added.

The 47th president said that the Tesla CEO’s problem with the Big Beautiful Bill revolves mostly around the legislation’s elimination of electric vehicle tax credits, and noted that Musk was aware of the policy “from the beginning.”

“He knew every aspect of this bill. He knew it better than almost anybody. And he never had a problem until right after he left. I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot,” Trump remarked.

Trump Accuses Elon Musk of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’

By Daily Caller. President Donald Trump explained why he thinks Elon Musk is upset with him and his bill, and he hinted at the future of their friendship during his Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz Thursday.

After the House of Representatives passed Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” which incorporates many aspects of his legislative agenda, Elon Musk began repeatedly blasting the act on X. Trump addressed the criticism, telling reporters that Musk is upset because they took the electric vehicle (EV) mandate out of the bill.

“I’m very disappointed, because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here, better than you people, he knew everything about it. He had no problem with it,” Trump said.

“All of a sudden he had a problem, and he only developed the problem when he found out that we’re going to have to cut the EV mandate, because that’s billions and billions of dollars, and it really is unfair We want to have cars of all types, electric. We want to have electric, but we want to have a gasoline combustion we want to have different. We want to have hybrids. We want to have all. We want to be able to sell everything,” he continued.

“And when that was cut, and Congress wanted to cut it, it became a little bit different, and I can understand that, but he knew every aspect of this bill,” he added. (Read more from “Trump Accuses Elon Musk of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’” HERE)
