Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent caused Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters to have an all-out meltdown in the middle of questioning during Tuesday’s hearing as she tried and failed to pin inflation squarely on the Trump administration, shifting blame away from Democrats.
Bessent told her the blunt truth…
“What you’re saying is completely nonsense,” Bessent said to Waters, who was shouting into her microphone trying desperately to shut him up.

Bill Maher slams Macklemore, Democrats over “genocide” claims on Gaza
Bill Maher criticized the musician Macklemore for calling the Gaza war a “genocide” during a September concert opening for Ed Sheeran, arguing the characterization is false and that Democrats broadly embracing the term marks one of the party’s worst moments in decades.
What Maher said: “I think Macklemore spoke for all clueless celebrities when he said, ‘I know enough to know this is a genocide,’” Maher continued. “Actually, you don’t know s—. It’s not. It’s not a genocide. It’s a counterattack in a war.”
Maher argued that mislabeling the conflict as genocide has fueled a global rise in antisemitism, saying such rhetoric gives people “permission” to direct hatred at Jews.
PR expert Jason Mudd said Macklemore’s stance represents a “calculated risk” that could alienate segments of his audience, noting the rapper — recently dropped from Sheeran’s tour lineup — should weigh the career and reputational consequences of taking such a polarizing public position.
Kirk family files legal claim against Utah Valley University over security failures
Charlie Kirk’s family filed a notice of claim against Utah Valley University, alleging foreknowledge of security failures, including denying a request for additional officers and failing to secure rooftop access, which led to his assassination during a campus speaking event last September.
The filing claims TPUSA had warned campus police about rooftop access near the shooting location and was told it would be handled, yet the Losee Center roof, where the alleged shooter fired from, remained unsecured despite known student access to the area.
Attorneys argue the university created a “foreseeable danger” by holding the event outdoors surrounded by elevated buildings, understaffing security relative to the roughly 3,000 attendees, and failing to monitor security cameras in real time — factors they say directly contributed to Kirk’s death.
Rep. Brandon Gill shuts down Al Jazeera reporter like a savage
Rep. Brandon Gill shut down reporter Natasha Del Toro, who identified herself only as working for “Fault Lines,” to disclose her employer after she questioned him about deaths in ICE custody; after roughly 30 seconds of repeated questioning and refusal to identify which outlet she worked for, she confirmed her program airs on Al Jazeera English.
Gill told the reporter to “get lost” once she revealed the affiliation, accusing her of trying to obscure it.
The exchange came the same day Gill announced his bid to chair the House Oversight Committee, a move that would significantly expand the 32-year-old freshman congressman’s influence within the GOP.
British village votes to secede from UK over migrant asylum center plan
Piddington, a small Oxfordshire village, voted overwhelmingly (285-26, with 92% turnout) in a symbolic, legally nonbinding referendum to declare itself an independent “Principality” in protest of government plans to convert a nearby former army base into an asylum center housing up to 3,500 migrants.
Villagers previously appealed to President Trump for support and offered to rename the village “Trumpington” if accepted as a 51st U.S. state, holding the vote on Battle of Britain memorial day after announcing it on July 4.
The government defended its policy shift toward placing migrant housing in wealthier areas rather than concentrating it in poorer communities, with Minister Lisa Nandy calling the burden-sharing fair — a stance that drew criticism given Piddington’s local politics have traditionally favored pro-immigration Liberal Democrat representatives.
This is what parliament looked like in England, in Canada, and now in Israel and the US. Yes or no. Yes or no. No discussion. Not able to reply. Lies can be told and are told in such a way so they can say” yes or no” to the defendant. London fell this way. Canada fell this way. Israel and the US will not fall. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.
This is the same BS fake news they listen to on MSNBC every day and now CNN. Most don’t even have enough sense to investigate the lies they just keep mentioning it all across the media and make the Democratic party look like a ship of fools. I finally got sick and tired of the made up press. I’m finally free of those idiots and my family as well. Great to have a president that cares for America.
