Tensions are flaring and major divisions are forming within the White House over President Donald Trump's comments about how the war in Iran has already been won, according to a new report from MS NOW, with insider sources revealing that he is "getting a little bored with" the war he started.Speaking with MS NOW for a report published Friday morning, sources within the White House expressed frustration over the contradictions in Trump's handling of the Iran

During Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, many MAGA Republicans attacked Democratic nominee Kamala Harris as a warmonger who, if elected, would escalate U.S. intervention in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. One of MAGA's outspoken critics of the Biden Administration's support for military aid to Ukraine was now-Vice President JD Vance, who argued that then-President Joe Biden and then-Vice President Harris needed to spend more time addressing problems in the United States and less time worrying about a far-off country like Ukraine.But President Trump, since his return to the White House, has taken an aggressively interventionist turn — from overthrowing former Venezuela

There is a pall over the Make America Great Again, or MAGA, movement. Donald Trump overpromised. His public support has fallen. Some “America First” die-hards now openly criticize him.Amid war, economic challenges, democratic backsliding, the Epstein files and Americans shot dead in the street by government agents, Trump’s support is softening and his v

Faith Kates, founder of Next Management, one of the modeling industry's most powerful agencies, maintained a nearly 40-year friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and used her position to introduce him to models on her roster, according to a Guardian investigation based on newly released Department of Justice files.The documents contain over 5,000 references to Kates. Email exchanges reveal a relationship far deeper than previously reported—one involving secret business dealings, undisclosed financial arrangements, and what appears to be a deliberate effort to connect young women f

As we near the fourth week of Trump’s war with no end in sight, I want to make sure you are aware of what he said today, and its implications. After Tehran dismissed his 15-point ceasefire plan, Trump claimed today that Iran is “begging to make a deal” and that he wasn’t the one pushing for negotiations. (Earlier, he told Tehran to “get serious soon” about negotiating an end to the war.)“They’ll tell you, ‘We’re not negotiating,’” Trump

President Donald Trump is running an administration of “all madness,” claims a former adviser to a different Republican president — and it can all be traced back to his corruption.“My friends, it is all madness,” former White House aide Steve Schmidt argued in a Thursday Substack post. “The White House is an asylum. The president is deranged. He is a predator and criminal, and he is immoral, abusive and dishonest. He is a liar and charter member of the Epstein class.”Earlier in the same editorial, Schmidt described America under Trump as a “cross between Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch and Disney’s Magic Kingdom, with the main differe

A disgraced MAGA ex-lawmaker used an ableist slur on Thursday during the annual CPAC conference to describe people who disagree with President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda.“I come from the wing of the Republican Party that is only loyal to one nation, and that is the United States of America,” Gaetz declared. After describing the long delays at airports, he denounced Democrats and their supporters for backing the ongoing partial government shutdown.“Not paying TSA and our cybersecurity professionals and those protecting America's networks and critical infrastructure — not paying those people and shutting them down — is not legislative strategy,” Gaetz said. “It is re------”President Donald Trump almost

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice appears to be catching his habit of playing loose with the facts. But the problem for his federal attorneys is they’re delivering their bogus info to judges who appear to take issue with it.U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel wiped DOJ attorneys in a Thursday decision and schooled them on the importance of honesty in research when submitting arguments.As part of “Operation Metro Surge,” Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested thousands of noncitizens transported them to a holding facility, flew them across the country, and pr

President Donald Trump was likely pleased with the statements made by three of America’s premiere conservative thinkers at a Thursday evening panel at CPAC. Even as they denounced so-called persecution of Republicans under Democratic presidents, all three of them — including a Trump administration official —called for former special counsel Jack Smith and former CIA Director John Brennan to be arrested for doing their jobs in ways Trump disliked."Jack Smith is very familiar with 18 USC Section 241, Conspiracy Against Rights,” attorney Mike Davis, founder and president of the far right Article III Project, said to the moderator and TV host Ben Ferguson and Trump’s US special envoy to Belarus, John Coale. “It's one of the bogus charges he brought against President Trump for the non-crime of objecting to a presiden

Conservative Dispatch CEO and editor Steve Hayes visited Bonita Springs, Florida, during campaign season and says he found the kind of political personalities you get in “Trump country.”Former U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn was one of the first personalities Heyes shined a light on trying to nab Florida’s 19th Congressional District. In his article, titled “Meet the Has-Beens, Never-Weres, and Felon Locked in a Trumpy Primary,” he makes clear he is not impressed.“That Cawthorn is a viable candidate — indeed, given his name recog
