Month: April 2026

Brits are losing it over Ye.

That multi-millionaire recording artist Kanye West is controversial, there’s no disputing it.

Whether he is parading his wife completely in the nude in public events or else making shocking statements only to retract them with a mountain of apologies, Ye is always in the headlines, and seldom for a good reason.

So, the prospect of headlining July’s Wireless Festival in the UK would be a nice opportunity for the entertainer to get back at what he was made famous for: his music.

Except for the fact that the news of his participation has put the UK in turmoil.

So much so that the failing British government finds itself under growing pressure to ban U.S. rapper Kanye West from entering the country.

BREAKING: Ministers are reportedly considering if Kanye West will be allowed in to the UK to perform at a festival.

Reuters reported:

“West, now known as Ye, has been criticized in the past for antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism, which have led on several occasions to his social media accounts, including on X, being barred.

The decision to book Ye prompted several companies to pull their sponsorship of the festival, while ​the main opposition Conservative Party wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, urging her to ban him from coming to Britain.”

Failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who approved late term abortions UP TO BIRTH, and voted for the failed bill for Assisted Suicide, described as ‘deeply concerning’ the decision to book Ye for the London festival.

And today, it has emerged that Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is considering ‘blocking Kanye West from entering Britain over his history of anti-Semitism’.

[It’s never too much to remind our readers that the UK has received and honored Ukrainian Azov fighters who are real-life, present-day Nazis. So, talk about double standards!]

The Telegraph reported:

“Jewish organizations and MPs have urged the Government to ban the musician from entering the UK. Ministers can block the entry of any foreign national if their presence is considered not “conducive to the public good”.

Three companies – Pepsi, Rockstar Energy, and Diageo – have withdrawn their sponsorship of the festival.

[…] The Home Office would not comment on whether West had already applied for an [Electronic Travel Authorization], but Ms. Mahmood would have the ability to block any application.”

BREAKING: Wireless Festival will keep Kanye West as its headliner

Melvin Benn, the Managing Director of Festival Republic, said:

“I am a deeply committed anti-fascist and have been all my adult life. I lived on a kibbutz for many months in the 1970’s that was attacked on…

The Chicago Bulls have reportedly moved to clean house at the top, just days after cutting former top draft pick Jaden Ivey in a controversy that has ignited a nationwide firestorm over faith, free speech, and the league’s political agenda.

According to reports, the Bulls parted ways with both executives after years of mediocrity, including a losing record and just one playoff appearance since 2020.

The team sits near the bottom of the Eastern Conference and has struggled to build a competitive roster despite aggressive trades and roster changes.

Ownership admitted a “new direction” was needed, but the sudden timing came days after the Ivey controversy.

Just seven days ago, the Bulls organization sparked outrage among people of faith by cutting basketball star Jaden Ivey.

The Chicago Bulls have waived guard Jaden Ivey after calling out the NBA for celebrating Pride Month.

Ivey was released for “conduct detrimental to the team” after he released a video of himself calling the NBA decision to celebrate Pride Month “unrighteous.”

Ivey, in a viral video, stated, “They proclaim Pride Month in the NBA. They say come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness. They proclaim it.”

ESPN reported:

In another live stream Monday evening, Ivey questioned why he was waived before speaking again at length about religion.

“[The Bulls] said my conduct is detrimental to the team,” he said. “Why didn’t they just say, ‘We don’t agree with his stance on LGBTQ’? Why didn’t they say that? … How is it conduct detrimental to the team? What did I do to the team? What did I do to the players?”

The Bulls acquired Ivey, 24, from the Detroit Pistons before the trade deadline last month. He was drafted with the No. 5 pick in 2022 and featured early by a rebuilding Pistons team before knee issues limited him to only 30 games in 2024-25 and kept him out for the first 15 games this season. Ivey appeared in only four games for the Bulls and last played Feb. 11 before the All-Star break. The team announced last week that he would be shut down for the season because of a sore left knee.

On Feb. 19 against the Raptors, Ivey did not play because of a coach’s decision, the first time in his young career he had been a healthy scratch. After the game that night, he noted that he “wasn’t the same player as he used to be,” referring to his religion while talking to reporters in the locker room.

“I’m not the J.I. I used to be. The old J.I. is dead,” Ivey said. “I’m alive in Christ no matter what the basketball setting is.”

Now, just days later, the organization itself appears to be imploding.

The Chicago Bulls dismissed executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas and general manager Marc Eversley on Monday.

The Chicago Bulls announced:

MICHAEL REINSDORF: “Artūras and Marc have led with a deep commitment to the Chicago Bulls. These decisions are never easy, especially when they involve people we respect both personally and professionally. We are grateful for their dedication and the work they’ve put in over the past six years. At the same time, we have not had the success our fans deserve, and it’s my responsibility to go in a new direction. This move is about positioning our team for sustained success moving ahead.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday cleared the path for the dismissal of contempt-of-Congress charges against former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon.

Bannon was tormented by the radical left, communists, and deep state actors who targeted thousands of Trump supporters and conservatives following the 2020 stolen election.

Bannon refused to honor a subpoena from the sham committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack and later served a four-month sentence. 

The wildly popular political firebrand served four months behind bars for contempt of Congress after refusing to testify before the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol protest.

He was widely considered to be a political prisoner.

War Room reporter Jayne Zirkle posted this about Steve’s release from prison back in October 2024. Steve’s daughter, Maureen, greeted him upon his release!

On Monday, the Supreme Court paved the way for the dismissal of Steve’s “contempt” case.

The Court did not explain its decision. There were no noted dissents.

ABC News reported:

In a brief order, the Court noted that the Trump Justice Department has moved to drop the indictment against Bannon and returned the case to a lower court for dismissal.

Bannon, who served as President Donald Trump’s chief White House strategist during Trump’s first term, served a four-month prison term after being found guilty on contempt charges following a July 2022 trial.

A jury found Bannon guilty on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena to testify about Jan. 6 before the House select committee that investigated the attack. In addition to serving prison time, Bannon paid a $6,500 fine.

A Democratic activist says a number of women are preparing to accuse California Rep. Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct.

Cheyenne Hunt, an attorney, former congressional candidate, and executive director of Gen Z for Change, said she has been working with multiple individuals who intend to come forward.

In a post on the X platform, Hunt said the allegations involve “DMs and Snapchat messages” and range “from uncomfortable comments to potentially criminal conduct.”

“I got involved because the first victim who approached me is a close friend, but when I saw that there were others whose experiences fit the same pattern of manipulation and abuse of power, I knew I couldn’t stay silent,” Hunt wrote.

She claimed the alleged behavior involved “employees, interns, and fans,” adding that Swalwell acted “as a mentor just to exploit that power.”

“Other women needed to know that they were not alone and that someone had their backs if they came forward.

“After I spoke about my friend’s experience, many brave women came forward and shared their stories with me.”

Hunt said the women preparing to accuse Swalwell have “secured pro bono legal representation” and are “in the process of sharing information with reporters and ensuring that they are physically and legally safe.”

“That process takes time,” she said.

I have been working with a number of women who are in the process of coming forward and sharing their stories of sexual harassment and even alleged abuse at the hands of Eric Swalwell. Here’s why we’re talking about it before mainstream media:

— Cheyenne Hunt (@CheyenneHuntCA) April 6, 2026

In a video posted March 31, Hunt alleged that Swalwell “has a known history of being predatory towards women.”

“And while it may be seen as politically expedient to sweep this under the rug, it is the wrong thing to do, and we know it,” she said.

“I worked on the Hill, I know many women who still do, and this message that I received yesterday is not unique.”

A message she displayed read: “You know Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign NDAs so they don’t speak up, right?”

”And when I was 19, he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs.”

“I am an attorney. I am well aware of the risk I am taking by speaking out publicly and the fact that if I were to lie about a powerful public figure on a platform of my size, I could easily be subject to a defamation lawsuit,” Hunt wrote, adding she has not received any cease-and-desist notice.

Meanwhile, another Democratic strategist named Bhavik Lathia said further allegations may emerge.

“This is real. Take it seriously. Eric Swallwell [sic] cannot be our nominee,” he wrote.

“There is going to be a lot more coming out soon. I can’t say more right now, but stay tuned.”

“And this isn’t some partisan witch hunt. These are real Dem women coming forward. A lot of this shit is going to shock yall.”

CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed the agency executed a sophisticated deception operation to rescue a U.S. airman shot down over Iran, deliberately spreading false information to confuse enemy forces during a 24-hour search-and-rescue mission that left Iranian military officials embarrassed and humiliated.

Deception Campaign Bought Critical Time

The CIA deliberately circulated rumors within Iran that American forces had already located and were actively rescuing the downed pilot, according to senior administration officials. This misinformation campaign created confusion among Iranian military units hunting the airman, buying precious time for intelligence operatives to pinpoint his exact location. The strategy worked. While Iranian forces searched based on false leads, CIA analysts tracked the pilot’s movements and relayed his precise coordinates to the White House and War Department for extraction.

Race Against the Clock for Wounded Pilot

The F-15E Strike Eagle went down April 3 during Operation Epic Fury, the ongoing military campaign against Iran launched February 28. American officials initially knew only where the ejection seat landed and that the pilot had been wounded, adding urgency to the mission. The airman evaded Iranian pursuers for more than 24 hours, eventually climbing a 7,000-foot ridgeline and taking cover in a crevice. Air Force pilots carry beacons and secure communication devices, but are trained to use them sparingly to avoid enemy tracking. The CIA employed specialized technology unique to the agency to locate him, though officials declined to specify the exact methods used.

Mission Success Humiliates Iranian Forces

Ratcliffe called the operation a “race against the clock” during a Monday press conference alongside President Donald Trump. The successful extraction occurred Saturday night, with American forces pulling the pilot to safety. Intelligence assessments revealed Iranian officials felt deeply embarrassed by the audacious rescue operation conducted inside their territory. Ratcliffe credited Trump with tasking him to move past political correctness and focus entirely on mission success. The CIA director acknowledged he could not reveal all operational details but emphasized the complexity and risk involved in executing the rescue under enemy pursuit while wounded American personnel remained in hostile territory during active combat operations.

Singer-songwriter Kid Rock used an Apache flyover of his estate as a chance to take a swing at California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Last Saturday, Rock posted two videos — with explicit language in the caption — showing members of the United States Army flying what the Associated Press has identified as two AH-64 Apache helicopters from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade at Fort Campbell, which is located near the Tennessee-Kentucky border.

Kid Rock can be seen standing on the porch of his Tennessee home with his infinity pool in sight as he cheers for the Apache pilots, obviously enjoying the show.

Per the Associated Press, Kid Rock has made previous comments to pilots welcoming them to fly over his residence.

“I’ve talked to some of these pilots. I’ve told them, ‘You guys see me waving when you come by the house?’ I’m like, ‘You guys are always welcome to cruise by my house, any time,’” he commented.

The musician told his followers on social media platform X about that moment: “This is a level of respect that s**t for brains Governor of California will never know.”

“God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.”

Why use this moment to blast Newsom?

For one thing, he is one of the most incompetent public officials we’ve seen in recent memory, creating an exodus from California that politicians of the future will hopefully use as a case study of what not to do.

For another, despite his term expiring in 2027, Newsom will probably not be exiting public life.

All signs point to him making a run for the presidency in 2028.

With Newsom planning to stay relevant and seeking the highest office in the land, prominent figures like Kid Rock are important in influencing the cultural landscape against him.

Simply put, he’s doing his part to remind voters that Newsom is a poor choice.

We will be inundated with his abysmal record as governor as soon as he announces his candidacy — no stone will be left unturned as former Californians will have testimonies about why they fled his state in terror.

We need a holistic effort to stop Newsom — and the cultural front must support keeping him far away from office.

As one of President Donald Trump’s most outspoken supporters, Rock can fulfill that role.

President Trump on Monday told reporters that Iran could be completely wiped out in “one night” and that he plans to bring “complete demolition” by midnight tomorrow. 

The President held a press conference on Monday following the operation to rescue a downed American flight crew in Iran over the weekend.

This comes as Trump set a deadline for Iran to cease its hostilities or face an overwhelming military response.

“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*ckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the President wrote on Truth Social over the weekend.

To open the press conference, the President declared the rescue mission of the downed pilot was “one of the largest, most complex, most harrowing, combat searches, I guess you would call it a search and rescue mission, ever attempted by the military.” He added that the US is “doing unbelievably well, well at a level that nobody’s ever seen before,” with Operation Epic Fury in Iran.

“The entire country could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night,” Trump continued.

WATCH:

Later, Trump was asked about the targets he was going to hit if Iran does not cede to his demands by 8 pm tomorrow, and Trump threatened that “every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night,” and “every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again.”

“I mean, complete demolition by 12 o’clock, and it will happen over a period of four hours, if we want it to. We don’t want that to happen,” he continued. Trump further pointed to the recent strike on Iran’s B1 bridge in Karaj, the tallest bridge in the Middle East, as an example of what Iran will face if they do not make a deal.

WATCH:

Burns: You said that very little is off limits in Iran, as far as targeting, including power plants, bridges, you’ve mentioned those.

Trump: Very little is off limits.

Burns: Are there certain kinds of civilian targets, though, I’m thinking, schools or hospitals—

Trump: I don’t want to tell you that. I don’t want to tell you that. We have, we have a plan because of the power of our military, where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again. I mean, complete demolition by 12 o’clock, and it will happen over a period of four hours, if we want it to. We don’t want that to happen.

We may even get involved with helping them rebuild their nation. And you know what? If that’s the case, the last thing we want to do is start with power plants, which are among the most expensive thing, and bridges. You saw the bridge, the bridge one. We were very close to a deal. And then I got a call from Mr. Witkoff, Mr. Kushner, and JD, saying, I think they’re breaking the deal.

I said, tell them, “That’s okay. Don’t worry about it,” but tell them to look out their window and watch. And within 45 minutes, I gave the order to knock out the biggest bridge. I gave the order knock out the biggest bridge in, I believe, the Middle East, but the biggest bridge in Iran. And within 10 minutes after I gave that order, that bridge was over.

So, do I want to do that? No. Do I want to destroy their infrastructure? No. It will take them 100 years to rebuild. Right now, if we left today, it would take them 20 years to rebuild their country, and it would never be as good as it was. And the only way they’re going to be able to rebuild their country is to utilize the genius of the United States of America.

This comes after Trump announced the destruction of Iran’s B1 bridge on Thursday, writing on Truth Social, “The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow! IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Video shared by the President shows the bridge collapsing.

Wexner is on the crosshairs of the Epstein victims and their lawyers.

Fashion billionaire Les Wexner is long known to have been, along with Wall Street titan Leon Black, the biggest Jeffrey Epstein ‘clients’, each shelling hundreds of million dollars to the late pedophile and disgraced financier.

And now, Wexner and his Foundation are being sued by several Epstein victims who claim Wexner enabled the sex offender to create ‘an international sex trafficking ring’.

11 Epstein survivors are suing Les Wexner and the Wexner Foundation.

The lawsuit alleges he gave Epstein $200M over the years to fund his international sex trafficking ring.

Wexner claims he was deceived. Survivors say he “knew or should have known.”

Ohio Capital Journal reported:

“’The lawsuit alleges Wexner gave Epstein $200 million or more from 1987 to 2007 ‘that Epstein used to build his sex trafficking network and commit acts of gender-motivated violence’, according to the complaint, which was recently filed in the New York Supreme Court.”

“Each of the eleven plaintiffs accuse Epstein of “gender-motivated violence” against them from 2000 to 2016 at 9 E. 71st St. in Manhattan. Three of the plaintiffs were 17 years old at the time. As a result, the plaintiffs suffered personal injuries, a shock to their nervous system, internal injuries, physical pain, mental anguish, and severe psychological and emotional distress, according to the lawsuit.”

A spokesperson for Wexner said that the claims are based upon ownership of a NY townhouse Mr. Wexner sold years prior to the time of the allegations.

“’Mr. Wexner paid Epstein for wealth management services and had no knowledge of Epstein’s wrongdoing’, a spokesperson for Wexner said.

Wexner, 88, the billionaire founder of L Brands, which created Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works and Abercrombie & Fitch is listed as an alleged co-conspirator of convicted child sex offender and disgraced financier Epstein’s in a 2019 FBI document. The same document listing Wexner as a co-conspirator says there is ‘limited evidence of his involvement’.”
