Month: April 2026

Comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla shredded Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, for her woke, bizarre, and factually incorrect take on information she claims boys are exposed to.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Jennifer recently bragging about the gender nonsense that she is using to fill the minds of her children.

She also expressed concern that ‘sports culture’ is exposing young boys to hate, bigotry, misogyny, and racism.’

During a recent podcast, Carolla noted, “I hate Gavin Newsom, but I think I hate his wife more. She’s a ditz.”

He then played a clip of Jennifer sharing her weird take.

“My sons will watch their favorite athletes on YouTube, or— and then all of a sudden you’ll find this sort of alt-right extreme, you know, Jordan Peterson type speaking to my sons. It’s insane. Connected to the sports culture. That’s not healthy. Are you kidding?”

“So then our boys are learning hate, bigotry, misogyny, racism. So it’s very dangerous, you know? And I think we have to take responsibility.”

Carolla responded, “Jordan Peterson type? Like a Canadian professor…”

Guest Rudy Pavich added, “Who does nothing but just spew out, I don’t know, correct…”

Carolla continued, “Well, correct information. He talks about the Bible and history and stuff like that. That’s what you’re worried about? Your sons finding out about David and Josiah?”

Here’s what I realized, but it drives me nuts, but it’s that thing. It’s all back to that Rob Reiner clip I always play for you guys on Bill Maher. It’s like, ‘well, come on. Rob, you don’t know that Hunter Biden’s laptop—’ ‘I don’t know.’ ‘Do you know?’ ‘I don’t know.’ You don’t know.’ ‘I don’t—’ ‘But Rob, you got to go out and get information.’ ‘And I get information other places.’ ‘You didn’t know this?’ I watch—”

“You have no idea who Jordan Peterson is. You have no f***ing idea.”

“First off, he’s intellectually— he would be a zeppelin, and you would be a little Mylar balloon that says ‘Get well, Nana’ on it that’s stuck in power wires. That’s who you are intellectually.”

“He is so much greater than you intellectually, but also, you’re just basically saying ‘hate merchant, misogynist.’ You have no f***ing idea who this guy is. And it’s also weird that you do this because I would never do that to somebody on the left.”

Pavich added, “Also, Jordan Peterson, when that guy first started making the rounds, everybody was on board with it, but then the right started sharing a few of his clips, and people on the right started having him on their podcast. And now all of a sudden, he becomes this mouthpiece for hatred. How? He’s never wavered.”

“And even stuff that doesn’t line up with right values, he still goes, ‘Yeah, but these are the facts.’”

Carolla continued,”He’s a Canadian professor who was basically told to use pronouns, and he was like, ‘F*** that.’”

“And then, because it’s Canada, Canada is basically California in 5 years, they wanted to punish him because of his thoughts.”

UPDATE: According to fresh developments, Iran has cut off direct communication with the US, but NOT with intermediaries, and ongoing negotiations are ahead of President Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline.

Iran International reported:

The Wall Street Journal, quoting Middle Eastern officials, reports that Iran has only cut off its “direct” communications with the US not its talks with ceasefire mediators.

While the move has temporarily complicated efforts to make a deal by Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline, it hasn’t ended the talks, the report said.

“Iran intended to send a signal of disapproval and defiance by severing communications,” one official was quoted as saying.

Iran’s state-run Tehran Times later reported that “diplomatic and indirect channels of talks with the US are not closed.”

The Tehran-based paper had earlier reported that Iran had cut “all diplomatic and backchannel talks” with the US.

A senior U.S. official told Fox News this morning that they are absolutely in contact with Iran and the talks have been positive.

“We are absolutely in touch with [Iran]. Absolutely. [The talks] have been positive. If we get lucky, we will have something by the end of the day,” the official said.

Trump has given Iran until 8 pm ET to accept an agreement that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

---

The terrorist regime has reportedly severed ALL diplomatic channels with the United States, including back-channel communications that had been kept open with the United States following President Donald Trump’s earth-shaking ultimatum.

The move comes as President Trump delivered one of the most chilling warnings ever issued by a sitting U.S. president, declaring that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran refuses to comply with U.S. demands.

Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday morning:

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.”

Tehran’s decision to sever direct diplomatic channels is a deliberate act of defiance following Trump’s ultimatum.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared an end to any pretense of “restraint” and is now openly threatening direct attacks on U.S.-linked infrastructure across the region.

According to the latest reports, the IRGC signaled it is prepared to unleash strikes on critical energy targets, warning that such actions “could disrupt oil and gas supplies for years” and throw West Asia, and by extension the entire global economy, into chaos.

“From now on, all these considerations have been lifted,” the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned on Tuesday their response to the United States could extend beyond the region and target energy infrastructure, saying previous restraint had ended.

Anadolu Agency reported:

In a statement carried by the state news agency IRNA, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it would retaliate beyond the region if what it called the “red lines” are crossed.

“We will damage the infrastructure of America and its partners, which will deprive the United States and its allies of oil and gas in the region for years,” the IRGC threatened.

The force said Iran has so far exercised restraint in its responses, citing considerations related to good neighborliness.

“But all these considerations may now be canceled,” it added.

The statement stressed that Iran has not initiated attacks on civilian targets but would respond to attacks on its own civilian infrastructure.

Remember, this is the same IRGC that has been losing top commanders left and right under Trump’s watch. Just last week, we reported the elimination of IRGC Intelligence Chief Majid Khademi in a precision strike.

Days earlier, IRGC Commander General Mohammad Ali Fathali-Zadeh was taken out.

Meanwhile, a deepening divide at the highest levels of Iran’s leadership has erupted, with President Masoud Pezeshkian accusing senior Revolutionary Guard commanders of acting unilaterally.

Iran International reported:

Two sources close to the presidential office said a tense exchange took place on Saturday, April 4, between Pezeshkian and Hossein Taeb, a powerful figure close to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Those present described the conversation as unusually difficult and highly charged.

During the meeting, Pezeshkian accused IRGC chief commander Ahmad Vahidi and Ali Abdollahi, commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters – the country’s armed forces’ unified command, of acting unilaterally and driving escalation through attacks on regional countries, especially against their infrastructure.

According to the sources, Pezeshkian said those policies had destroyed any remaining chance of a ceasefire and were steering the Islamic Republic directly toward “a huge catastrophe.”

He also warned that, based on what he described as precise assessments, Iran’s economy would not be able to withstand a prolonged war for much longer and that full economic collapse was inevitable under current conditions.

The confrontation comes amid mounting evidence of a broader power shift inside the Islamic Republic, with military and intelligence networks increasingly displacing both the elected government and the traditional clerical order.

It’s now crystal clear Tucker Carlson has officially contracted Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) after making horrific comments about the President yesterday. And Trump is firing back with even more brutal words.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday to tease a massive operation that is coming today unless Iran finally opens the Strait of Hormuz.

His words echoed across the entire world.

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!

Open the Fu**in’ Strait, you crazy b*stards, or you’ll be living in H*ll – WATCH! Praise be to Allah.

President DONALD J. TRUMP

On Monday, Carlson slammed Trump for “desecrating Easter” in a tweet while warning this was a step toward “nuclear war.”

“Desecrating Easter was the first step toward nuclear war,” Carlos wrote. “Christians need to understand where Trump is taking us.”

Carlson added even harsher rhetoric on his show, calling Trump’s expletive-laden Easter Sunday tweet on Iran “a mockery, not just of Islam but of Christianity.”

Carlson added that tweeting out the F-word while promising to “destroy civilian infrastructure” was “evil on every level.”

When asked by Caitlin Doornbos of the New York Post about Carlson’s remarks on Tuesday, Trump had some devastating words for the former Fox News host.

Trump not only called Carlson a “low-IQ person” but also noted that he regularly ignores the podcaster’s calls.

In other words, Carlson is an unserious person worthy of Trump’s attention. That will damage Carlson’s ego.

“Tucker’s a low-IQ person that has absolutely no idea what’s going on, Trump told The New York Post. “He calls me all the time; I don’t respond to his calls.”

“I don’t deal with him,” he added. “I like dealing with smart people, not fools.”

President Trump went off on Carlson when I asked him about this nonsense this morning.

The United States launched a series of targeted military strikes Tuesday on Iran’s highly strategic Kharg Island, sending a clear message to the Tehran regime as President Donald Trump’s hard deadline rapidly approaches.

U.S. forces hit military targets on the island in early morning operations, carefully avoiding direct damage to Iran’s oil export infrastructure, at least for now.

Kharg Island is no ordinary target. It serves as the backbone of Iran’s economy, handling roughly 90% of the country’s crude oil exports.

According to The New York Post, U.S. officials emphasized the strikes were focused on military installations, including air defenses and storage facilities, not energy production itself.

The New York Post reported:

Roughly 50 strikes were carried out on military targets on the Islamic Republic’s oil-critical stronghold, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing senior US officials.

Kharg Island, which is one-third the size of Manhattan and located in the Persian Gulf, controls roughly 90% of Iranian crude oil exports.

The mission included airstrikes along the northern side of the Island, hitting military bunkers and storage facilities, air defense systems, and other military facilities, an official told NBC News.

When asked about the Kharg Island strikes early Tuesday, Trump told The Post he “can’t comment on that.”

U.S. strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island do not signal any shift in American strategy, Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday while in Budapest.

“We were going to strike some military targets on Kharg Island, and I believe we have done so,” Vance said.

“We’re not going to strike energy and infrastructure targets until the Iranians either make a proposal that we can get behind or don’t make a proposal,” he added. “I don’t think the news in Kharg Island … represents a change in strategy, or represents any change from the President of the United States.”

CNN’s Harry Enton came out with a new pull today that will shock the radical left. According to CNN’s latest numbers, Democrats have a serious favorability problem.

Harry Enton: Democrats are just running behind their previous benchmarks and they need to be running well ahead of them if they want to take back the Republican Senate.

Democrats are seriously in trouble as polls show the GOP leading the favorability months before the 2026 midterms.

Apparently, most Americans are not buying into their ‘Trump is Hitler’ garbage.

President Trump made clear this morning that one of the most destructive military campaigns, perhaps in American history, is set to unfold tonight as Iran has ignored repeated warnings to open the highly critical Strait of Hormuz.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday, hours after celebrating the 2nd F-15 pilot’s rescue, Trump took to Truth Social to tease a massive operation that is coming unless Iran finally opens the Strait of Hormuz:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F**kin’ Strait, you crazy b*stards, or you’ll be living in H*ll – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

In a follow-up post, he hammered the deadline home: “Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!”

Despite these harsh words, combined with the fact that Trump has repeatedly followed through on these threats, the Iranian regime leaders scoffed and mocked at Trump while vowing to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed.

In response, Trump has taken to Truth Social and vowed to wipe out Iran’s entire civilization and bring a permanent end to Iran’s Islamist dictatorship.

Here is Trump’s full blood-curdling announcement on Truth Social:

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.

However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.

47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this morning that Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan signaled that diplomatic efforts are reaching a “critical, sensitive stage.”

Reza Amiri Moghadam, the Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan, took to social media to announce that secret “diplomatic endeavors” to end the current regional war are reaching a “critical, sensitive stage.”

Moghadam is now praising Pakistan for its “Good Will and Good Office” in trying to stop the conflict.

It appears this effort has come too late, however. The world will now witness the full power and might of the United States military.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warns that major international airports in sanctuary cities could lose federal customs operations if local governments continue refusing to cooperate with immigration enforcement.

Sanctuary Cities Face Airport Consequences

Secretary Mullin told Fox News that his department is examining whether cities that refuse to enforce immigration laws should retain their customs processing capabilities. He questioned why federal agents should process international arrivals when local authorities immediately shield those same individuals from immigration enforcement once they leave the airport terminals. The proposal targets major hubs including New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, where local policies prevent police from assisting federal immigration officers.

When pressed on whether major airports could actually lose customs operations, Mullin confirmed the possibility. He explained that Democrats are already pushing to defund Customs and Border Protection, which forces him to make hard decisions about resource allocation. The secretary emphasized he would prioritize cities willing to partner with federal authorities while staying within policies established by Congress.

San Francisco Incident Highlights Conflict

The threat comes after a recent incident at San Francisco International Airport where ICE agents detained an illegal immigrant, only to face interference from far-left activists while local police refused to provide assistance. San Francisco’s sanctuary city policies prevented officers from supporting federal law enforcement, illustrating the conflict Mullin now addresses. The city’s airport handles millions of international passengers annually, making customs operations essential to its economy and transportation infrastructure.

What This Means for Major Cities

Removing customs operations would force international flights to reroute to airports in jurisdictions that cooperate with federal immigration law. This would devastate local economies dependent on international travel and business connections. Mullin argues that sanctuary city policies are unlawful and that federal resources should support communities willing to enforce immigration statutes. The proposal represents a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between federal immigration enforcement and local sanctuary policies that have shielded individuals from deportation for years.

An 84-year-old Canadian woman says she was shocked after being offered medically assisted suicide — before other treatment options — when she visited an emergency room suffering from “excruciating pain” in her back last year.

Miriam Lancaster, a resident of the province of British Columbia, recounted how quickly ER doctors at Vancouver General Hospital offered her Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) in response to the cause of her pain — a fractured sacrum, or a break in a bone at the base of the spine connected to the pelvis.

“I was approached by a young lady doctor whose very first words out of her mouth is, ‘We would like to offer you MAID.’ I was taken aback,” Lancaster recalled in a March 18 post on the social media platform X.

“That’s the last thing on my mind. [I] just wanted to find out why I was in pain and did not want to die.”

After rejecting assisted suicide, Lancaster spent a month in the hospital doing rehab and has since recovered from her injuries.

“[I] recuperated nicely enough that I could take some trips,” the retired piano teacher said.

“So my recovery has been amazing. And there was no need for MAID to even be suggested.”

I met an 84-year-old woman who was offered euthanasia at a Canadian hospital practically upon arrival.

Miriam didn’t want to die. She recovered well and travelled to Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala.

Stop offering death to people who have adventures to lead! pic.twitter.com/ZjEfSaKmix

Six weeks after she fractured her sacrum in April 2025, Lancaster walked her daughter down the aisle at her wedding, according to Canada’s National Post.

“She later travelled to Cuba (before the U.S. oil blockade), Mexico and, most recently, walked and rode on horseback up Guatemala’s Pacaya volcano,” the outlet reported.

Lancaster and her daughter, Jordan Weaver, said committing suicide goes against their Catholic faith.

“My mother and I are practicing Catholics. We would never accept MAID under any circumstances,” Weaver told the National Post.

“The doctor said, ‘Well, you could get rehab, but it will be a long road, and it will be very difficult. We don’t know what to expect,’” Weaver recounted.

Weaver said the hospital did offer other treatment options after she and her mother rejected MAID, but she’s stunned it was presented as a first option.

“My mother is not frail. She climbed a volcano in Guatemala,” she told the National Post. “She’s a dynamo. She reads books. She goes to the theater. She’s alert. She takes the public bus on her own. She’s active.”

“Her life is valuable to the people who care for her,” Weaver underscored.

Assisted death is legal across Canada — with its infamous socialized medicine structure. In the United States, according to the pro-assisted death group Compassion and Choices, it is legal in 13 states, plus the District of Columbia:

• California
• Colorado
• Delaware
• District of Columbia
• Hawaii
• Illinois
• Maine
• Montana
• New Jersey
• New Mexico
• New York
• Oregon
• Vermont
• Washington

MAID is typically offered to terminally ill patients who are in chronic, unmanageable pain.

Lancaster said her husband, who died from metastatic cancer in 2023, was offered assisted death.

“Of course, he turned it down,” Lancaster told the National Post. “We are churchgoers. We both are ready to go when the Lord calls us, and that’s what happened to him.”

While she understands the hospital was required to offer MAID as an option to her terminally ill husband, she said it was premature in her case.

“I had already seen that MAID gets presented pretty quickly, in this day and age. But I was a lot healthier. He had cancer,” Lancaster said.

Lancaster’s daughter agreed that the course of action shouldn’t have been offered to someone who wasn’t dying.

“[To] be offered MAID right off the bat for a non-life-threatening condition? It was a matter of pain management. The bone would eventually heal,” Weaver told the National Post.

“Just because someone is 84 does not mean they’re ready to go on the scrap heap of life. It’s an insult to seniors.”

Sadly, the growing phenomenon of assisted death reflects the disposable, nihilistic mindset of modern society, where human life is viewed through a lens of utility rather than intrinsic worth.

It should come as no surprise that liberals typically support assisted suicide, while conservatives generally oppose it.

Assisted death is increasingly being normalized as a “treatment option” in a strained, single-payer health care systems (such as in Canada) where ongoing medical care costs the government money.

Georgia voters head to the polls for a critical House runoff that will determine the balance of power in Washington, as Republican Clay Fuller faces Democrat Shawn Harris to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene after her dramatic split with President Trump over Iran policy.

Race Holds National Stakes

Republicans currently hold 218 seats in the House, including one independent who caucuses with the party, while Democrats control 214. The Georgia seat becomes pivotal as Fuller and Harris compete to fill the vacancy left by Greene’s departure. Harris narrowly edged Fuller in the March 10 special election, but neither candidate secured the majority needed to avoid a runoff. Political analysts attribute Harris’ slight advantage to a crowded Republican field rather than Democratic momentum in a district Greene consistently won by 30-point margins.

Iran War Divides Candidates

Fuller, a district attorney and Air National Guard veteran, strongly backs Trump’s military action against Iran. He described the Iranian regime as a death cult that cannot be negotiated with, declaring the country safer because of Trump’s Iran decisions. Harris, a retired Army general and farmer, called the conflict a war of choice during their debate last month. He argued Trump should focus on economic recovery instead of foreign intervention. Greene herself has not endorsed either candidate, but her criticism of Trump remains fierce. She accused the president of going insane after he threatened to bomb Iranian infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.

Path Forward Remains Uncertain

Both candidates face potential rematches throughout the year. The runoff winner will serve until January 2027, but Fuller and Harris must first navigate May 19 midterm primaries before a November general election determines who holds the seat through January 2029. Greene first won the district in 2020 by nearly 50 points and maintained 30-point victories in subsequent races. Her break with Trump over America First principles creates unusual dynamics in a traditionally conservative stronghold, though Democrats face steep odds in flipping the seat.

What This Means

The Georgia runoff represents more than a single House seat. It tests whether Trump’s endorsement still carries weight after his split with Greene, and whether voters prioritize foreign policy or economic concerns. The result could signal shifting conservative priorities as the nation grapples with war abroad and economic challenges at home. Both parties watch closely as every seat matters in the narrowly divided chamber.
