Gunman who Believed He was Jesus Christ Opened Fire on White House Checkpoint, Shot Dead by Secret Service

/0 Comments/in , /by

A crazed gunman who believed he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver and opened fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was quickly taken down by a barrage of shots from the Secret Service, sources said.

Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 p.m. after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St. Northwest, sources told The Post. He only got off a few shots before he was shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers.

At least one bystander was hit and seriously wounded in the fusillade, the sources said.

The sound of shots from the incident terrifed members of the press who were doing their normal reporting at the White House, including one ABC reporter who was seen diving for cover during a live stream.

“I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots,” said Selina Wang, a senior ABC White House correspondent.

White House: Iran Gets Nothing Unless It Gets Rid Of Its Nuclear Stockpile

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Trump administration’s negotiations with Iran do not include any pathway for the country to obtain a nuclear weapon, nor will any potential deal give Iran “billions of dollars” in no-strings-attached handouts, a senior administration official said Sunday, despite some Republican warmongers claiming otherwise.

The senior official said that there will be zero resources to Iranians unless and until they give up highly enriched uranium, stating, “no dust, no dollars.”

When reports about a deal with the Iranians came out last week, some hardline Republicans like Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who appear uninterested in seeing an end to the conflict, quickly took to social media to countersignal the deal.

“I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran ‘deal,’ being pushed by some voices in the administration,” Cruz said. “If the result of all that [military action] is to be an Iranian regime — still run by Islamists who chant ‘death to America’ — now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake.”

“If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate [sic] force requiring a diplomatic solution,” Graham said. “This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability [to] inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel.” (Read more from “White House: Iran Gets Nothing Unless It Gets Rid Of Its Nuclear Stockpile” HERE)

U.S. Secret Service agents scrambled to secure the White House after at least 20 gunshots were heard Saturday evening when a suspect was fatally shot after firing at a security booth outside the campus.

The gunfire took place at an intersection to the immediate west of the campus with the gunman and a civilian down, according to Fox News reporter Chad Pergram.

“Shortly after 6:00 p.m. Saturday, an individual approached a Secret Service checkpoint in the area of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW,” Pergram posted, citing the Secret Service. “A preliminary investigation indicates that as the individual approached, he removed a weapon from his bag and began firing at posted officers. Secret Service police officers returned fire, striking the suspect, who was transported to an area hospital, where he later died.”

The suspect, later identified as Nasire Best, 21, had a history of mental health issues and violated a court order to stay away from the White House after previous encounters with the Secret Service, the New York Post reported. Best notably believed he was Jesus Christ, according to the outlet.

Reporters were rushed into the White House Press Briefing Room, NBC reporter Julie Tsirkin posted on X. ABC News reporter Selina Wang posted video showing her diving to the ground at the apparent sound of the gunshots, and said she’d been moved to the White House press briefing room by the Secret Service.

Trump Administration Reads In Conservative Podcasters On State Of Iran Negotiations

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House briefed multiple conservative media figures on negotiations with Iran over a potential peace deal which could end the nearly three-month-long armed conflict.

Multiple conservative media figures, including Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings, Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany, Daily Caller Editorial Director Vince Coglianese, and Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet took to X to defend President Donald Trump’s efforts following a briefing with a “senior administration official.” Coglianese outlined what the unidentified official told them about progress in the talks, saying there had been one marked shift in the Iranians’ tone, using the phrase “NO DUST, NO DOLLARS” as the “topline.”

The senior administration official told Coglianese and others the Iranians were “clearly talking details about getting rid of the enriched stockpile in a way they never have before” and had agreed to end further uranium enrichment.

“They have acknowledged that is something they’re going to have to give on,” the official added.

“Iran doesn’t get a dime unless they actually produce real results,” Coglianese posted, adding, “The Trump administration believes it is now just days away from a memorandum of understanding with the Iranian regime. It won’t be signed today or tomorrow, the official says, but that’s primarily because communication with Iranian leadership moves very slowly.” (Read more from “Trump Administration Reads In Conservative Podcasters On State Of Iran Negotiations” HERE)

Senior White House Official Placed On Leave After Trashing Trump In Sting Operation

/2 Comments/in , , /by

The White House placed a top administration official on leave after an undercover sting operation revealed his deep disdain for President Donald Trump.

Benjamin Ellisten, a senior budget analyst and funding manager for the White House, told James O’Keefe’s undercover journalist that Trump is a “madman” who is “f*cking it up for everybody.” Ellisten, who has worked at the White House since 2024, according to O’Keefe’s reporting, has since been placed on administrative leave, a White House official told the Daily Caller.

“He has no direct access to the President or Senior Staff, and does not work on the White House campus,” the official told the Caller. “Such views expressed by the individual are not reflective of patriots who admirably serve in the Administration.”

Ellisten was caught telling O’Keefe’s reporter that Trump is a “mess,” saying they “gotta get rid of him.”

“He’s a madman,” Ellisten told the undercover journalist. “Literally. He’s invincible. Nothing can stop him, and that’s dangerous.” (Read more from “Senior White House Official Placed On Leave After Trashing Trump In Sting Operation” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The man arrested for a shooting Monday at the National Mall that led to a White House lockdown has been identified in a federal criminal filing.

Michael Marx, 45, was spotted at about 3:30 p.m. by a plainclothes officer who believed he was carrying a gun. When he was approached by uniformed officers, he fled and allegedly fired a gun at them.

The suspect was shot, captured, and arrested, but a juvenile bystander was also shot during the altercation.

Investigators confirmed an initial report that the motorcade for Vice President JD Vance had just passed by before the shooting.

The gunshot victim was described as a civilian witness who was standing behind an officer and was shot in the leg. The officers returned fire and shot the suspect in the hand, left arm, and upper abdomen.

As he was being transported in an ambulance to a hospital, Marx allegedly said, “F**k the White House,” as well as, “Kill me, kill me, kill me.”

Judge Apologizes to Alleged WHCD Attacker for Treatment in Jail

/12 Comments/in , , /by

A judge issued an apology to Cole Tomas Allen, the alleged White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner attacker, for how he has been treated while being held in jail.

During a hearing on Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui expressed his apologies to Allen, who has been “held in the safe cell,” according to ABC7 News. Faruqui reportedly said the safe cell was “tantamount to solitary confinement.”

The judge also gave the Washington, DC, Department of Corrections a deadline of Tuesday “to notify when the jail’s housing board will” make a decision regarding “which section of the jail” Allen will be placed in, according to the outlet.

Faruqui’s apology to Allen comes after Allen’s attorneys said in court filings that Allen “was placed on suicide watch shortly after arriving at the D.C. jail.”

Due to Allen being placed on suicide watch, he was put in “what’s known as a ‘safe cell,’ a padded room with constant lighting and 24-hour lockdown conditions,” according to the outlet. Allen’s attorneys claimed that he showed “no signs of being a risk.” (Read more from “Judge Apologizes to Alleged WHCD Attacker for Treatment in Jail” HERE)

“And No. 2, I’m a hygiene freak. There was no freaking way I was getting my new tux on the dirty Hilton floor. It was not happening.”

Glantz was captured on CNN sneaked a fork full of salad despite the chaos and commotion at the DC gala Saturday night.

He quickly went viral for his even-keel approach, which he further elaborated on. (Read more from “Guest Caught Casually Munching on Salad as Others Took Cover During Shooting Explains Himself” HERE)

Ex-Jihadist Syrian President Due at White House for Landmark Talks

/2 Comments/in , /by

Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa is to meet US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday for unprecedented talks just days after Washington removed him from a terrorism blacklist.

Sharaa, whose rebel forces ousted longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad late last year, will be the first Syrian leader to visit the White House since the country’s independence in 1946.

Formerly affiliated with Al-Qaeda, Sharaa’s group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), was itself only delisted as a terrorist group by Washington in July.

Since taking power, Syria’s new leaders have sought to break from their violent past and present a more moderate image to ordinary Syrians and foreign powers. (Read more from “Ex-Jihadist Syrian President Due at White House for Landmark Talks” HERE)
