New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced President Trump at a Rockland Community College rally on May 22, and the second-year passer spent the next week as the center of a sports-and-politics storm. On May 29, Dart stood in front of reporters and explained himself. He said he respected the office of the presidency, he loves his teammates, and the team talked through the disagreement instead of letting it fester. President Trump publicly backed the young quarterback, and head coach John Harbaugh said the locker room came out of it stronger. Jaxson Dart issues a detailed statement on his decision to introduce Donald Trump and the impact that it has had on the Giants and his teammates pic.twitter.com/HOdT0rkJdL — SNY Giants (@SNYGiants) May 29, 2026 Dart did not duck the moment or hide behind a publicist’s statement. He took the questions directly. The official New York Giants transcript captured Dart’s opening explanation: JAXSON DART: Appreciate you all being here. I understand that there’s probably going to be questions that involve off-the-field topics, and for that, I have a statement, and I hope I can answer as many of those questions that you all may have. I ask that we can talk about football after that, and I hope that we can understand and respect that from each other. Obviously, this was a unique opportunity, being asked and given the opportunity to introduce the President of the United States. My thinking was pretty simple in the fact of I’ve always loved this country. I have extended family members who have fought in wars. I have two uncles who have retired from the Air Force Academy and served themselves. I even have a great grandfather who served as the Secretary of the Treasury at some point. The President position has always been a position that I’ve respected, regardless of political affiliation, regardless of political party. My intentions were just that. He also made clear the introduction was not a fight with anyone wearing the same uniform. Dart pointed to the bond inside the room when he spoke about his teammates in the New York Giants transcript: I also understand in this world, politics can be a sensitive matter, a sensitive topic. I also understand that I am the quarterback of the New York Giants, and that involves a lot of responsibility. I’m under a microscope, and there’s a lot that comes with it, and it’s something that I’ve embraced. I’ve loved being here. I love the city of New York. I love the (state) of New Jersey, the people that I’ve met here. It’s just been a really amazing experience, and there’s not another place that I’d rather be. Most importantly, the people in this organization, my teammates, the staff, coaches, everybody that has a hand, José (Garcia), you name it, I’ve loved making relationships with them and growing connections. That’s the kind of person that I am. I’m a connector. I love making relationships with people. I love hearing everybody’s stories and being somebody who people can rely on to be there for them. Most importantly, I can honestly say that I love every single one of my brothers, my teammates on this team, regardless of politics, regardless of religious beliefs, regardless of anything that may be different between us. I love them, and they know exactly what kind of person that I am who comes into the facility every day and who lays — I’ll lay my body on the line for my guys each and every week. It’s from the connections that we’ve built, the love that we have for each other. That is the part the outrage cycle tends to skip. The people actually involved talked it out. Outside linebacker Abdul Carter had criticized Dart’s decision, and he addressed it for the first time Friday. Abdul Carter’s first comments since Jaxson Dart introduced President Donald Trump pic.twitter.com/bOTQDBmQ4z — Charlotte Carroll (@charlottecrrll) May 29, 2026 Carter still objected to the choice. He also made clear he was not asking his quarterback to apologize for standing on his own beliefs. The same New York Giants transcript captured Carter’s answer: ABDUL CARTER: Yeah, I’m just going to address this one time because we all want to move past this and get over this, like everybody do. First off, I’m going to say that some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things. Jaxson is one of our leaders. He’s the face of our franchise. He not only represents himself and what he does, but he represents all of us, and that goes for anybody who wears a Giants uniform. But if he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it’s my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I’m against that, but to show the world. That doesn’t mean that we have to spread hate. It doesn’t mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day, every team meeting. We’re close. We talk. As long as we make sure we’ve got the same goal as a team and our goals align, which they do, I feel like that’s all that matters. I just want to move past this, and yeah, that’s it. I’ll take any questions about anything else, but in terms of this, I just want to move past this. Abdul Carter is asked if Jaxson Dart apologized in their conversation: "I don't want him to say he's sorry. Stand on what you believe in, but it can't be a problem if I stand on what I believe in. As long as we have that understanding, it's all good." pic.twitter.com/GvotBBBKZM — SNY Giants (@SNYGiants) May 29, 2026 That is a healthier standard than most of American public life can manage right now. Two men disagree, say so, and keep working. President Trump weighed in on the backlash and stood up for Dart, according to a report from Fox News. Fox reported that President Trump said Dart is loved more when he gets harassed, praised his potential as a quarterback, and called him a handsome, conservative guy. The takeaway is simple. A young quarterback agreed to introduce the sitting President of the United States, got treated like a scandal for it, and refused to apologize for honoring the office. His teammate disagreed and said so without trying to destroy him, and the coach said the team is better for having worked through it. That is how grown men handle a difference, and Dart came out of it standing exactly where he started. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.

The newest viral video for Spencer Pratt’s Los Angeles mayoral run opens in a hospital, where a mother brings in her sick daughter. The diagnosis is the punchline. The girl’s affliction is that she has started to realize Spencer Pratt is the most logical choice for mayor. The doctor’s first question is not about her temperature. It is about how much LA Times she has been consuming. That is the whole genre now, and it is working better than the city’s establishment ever expected. Sick of it? Vote Spencer Pratt? pic.twitter.com/3J8Mgjaeg1 — Gene Parmesan (@dsonoiki) May 29, 2026 The clip was posted to X by Gene Parmesan on May 29, 2026, under the line “Sick of it? Vote Spencer Pratt?” The catch worth noting up front is that these ads are not coming from the official campaign. Supporters are making them, and they are good enough to go viral on their own. The Gateway Pundit walked through the bit: There has been a lot of talk about Spencer Pratt’s AI campaign ads. They’re technically not even from his campaign, they’re being made by supporters, but they’re so well done that they get a lot of attention. The newest one is very funny. In the ad, a mother arrives at a hospital with her daughter who she claims is sick. You soon discover that the ‘sickness’ she is suffering from is that she has realized that Spencer Pratt is the most logical choice for mayor of Los Angeles. The doctor consults with the mother about the daughter’s media consumption habits and hilarity ensues. Watch the whole thing below. Be sure to watch to the end for all of the funny moments: The ad is getting a lot of praise. Less than a month ago, Pratt seemed like a total longshot. Very few people had ever even heard of him. The genius of the thing is that it mocks the exact media diet that keeps deep-blue LA voting the same way every cycle. Riley Gaines flagged the line about a “mild cough” turning into hating the sight of homeless drug addicts shooting up around children. The satire only works because the symptom is just noticing reality. Clay Travis, who knows a thing or two about media, put it bluntly: These Spencer Pratt videos by @dsonoiki are better than 99.9% of political consultant ads. He does it again. pic.twitter.com/hemFACa8xZ — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) May 29, 2026 That is not nothing. Professional political shops spend millions to produce ads people skip, and a supporter with a laptop is outdrawing all of them. Walter Kirn took it a step further and treated the work as actual popular art. There is a sly self-deprecating satirical feel to these ads which goes unappreciated. They make sophisticated subtle fun of LA's own self-deluding superficiality, including that of Pratt's own milieu. This self-awareness is what makes them such striking popular art — and… https://t.co/JT6TDuaAWD — Walter Kirn (@walterkirn) May 29, 2026 His read is that the ads make fun of LA’s self-deluding superficiality, including the world Pratt himself came up in. That self-awareness is the part the city’s serious people keep missing. Pratt’s own pitch is less satirical and more personal. On his official site, he leans on the fire that took his home and the system he says failed his family. Pratt for Mayor frames the candidate this way: I’m not a politician. I’m a husband and father who watched my home burn because the system failed us. We don’t need more government programs. We need common sense, accountability, and a Mayor that shows up for everyone. Spencer Pratt Entrepreneur & Advocate Spencer Pratt is a media entrepreneur, outspoken advocate, and emerging political leader. Spencer first rose to international prominence as the architect of modern reality television, serving as a central figure on MTV’s iconic series The Hills. Following the devastating 2025 Palisades fires that destroyed his family home, Spencer transitioned from a private entrepreneur to a formidable civic force. He has used his massive digital platform to advocate for wildfire victims and displaced families, pushing for transparency, faster relief, and long-term recovery solutions. Unwilling to accept the status quo, Spencer has emerged as one of the most prominent critics of California’s entrenched political establishment Committed to accountability and growth, Spencer Pratt is dedicated to fighting for the communities too often ignored by those in power and ensuring that Los Angeles is once again “camera-ready” for all its citizens. The campaign, paid for by Pratt for Mayor 2026, runs on accountability, public safety, homelessness, emergency readiness, and rebuilding after the 2025 Palisades fires. A month ago almost nobody had heard of him. Now he is surging in polls, and Jimmy Kimmel is taking shots at him on his show. When the late-night LA crowd starts swinging at a reality TV outsider, that tells you the joke already reached the people it was about. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

President Trump made his terms for any Iran deal crystal clear on Friday. No nuclear weapon. The Strait of Hormuz open immediately with no tolls. Mines removed. Trapped ships allowed to head home. Enriched nuclear material unearthed and destroyed. And no money exchanged “until further notice.” Breitbart quoted the red lines Trump posted before convening a White House Situation Room meeting to make what he called a “final determination” on a possible ceasefire extension with Iran: Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions. All water mines (bombs), if any, will be terminated (we have removed, through detonation, numerous such mines with our great underwater mine sweepers. Iran will complete the immediate removal and/or detonation of any mines that are left, which will not be many!). Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of “heading home!” Say HELLO to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite President! The enriched material, sometimes referred to as “Nuclear Dust,” which is buried deep underground with virtually collapsed mountains, caused by our powerful B2 Bomber attack 11 months ago, sitting on top of it, will be unearthed by the United States (which, it is agreed, is the only Country, along with China, with the mechanical capability of doing so!), in close coordination and conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Iran, plus the International Atomic Energy Agency, and DESTROYED. No money will be exchanged, until further notice. Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to. I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP JUST NOW: President Trump Posted: "Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions." The vital Strait of Hormuz — through which 20% of the world’s… pic.twitter.com/pXZu2nGj8S — Donald J Trump Posts TruthSocial (@TruthTrumpPost) May 29, 2026 The meeting lasted roughly two hours. The Associated Press reported Trump had not yet made a final decision after the meeting, and that Iran said the agreement had not been finalized. The tentative agreement would extend the fragile ceasefire by 60 days as new talks proceed on Iran’s disputed nuclear program. Meanwhile, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf posted a defiant response on X. WebIndia published the Iranian response this way: WebIndia/ANI translated Ghalibaf as saying missiles are how Iran seeks concessions, while dialogue only clarifies them, and that Tehran measures actions rather than guarantees or words. ۱-ما امتیازات را نه با گفتگو، بلکه با موشک‌‌ها می‌گیریم، در مذاکره فقط آن‌ها را تفهیم می‌کنیم. ۲- هیچ اعتمادی به تضمین‌ها و حرف‌ها نداریم، فقط رفتارها معیار است. اقدامی پیش از اقدام طرف مقابل انجام نخواهد شد. ۳-پیروز هر توافق، کسی است که از فردای آن بهتر برای جنگ آماده شود. — محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf (@mb_ghalibaf) May 29, 2026 Trump’s terms make clear there will be no weak Obama-style deal. Iran gets nothing until it proves compliance, and the United States keeps the leverage. That is the difference between begging for a deal and negotiating from strength.

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi spent three and half hours on Capitol Hill today testifying on the Epstein files. This is her first public appearance since she was fired from the DOJ and diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Upon her arrival, Bondi was spotted wearing a large bandage on her throat from recent surgery.

She appeared while still undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer, with the dressing from recent surgery visibly present on her neck. As Attorney General, she was placed in an extraordinarily difficult position, dealing with the Epstein files and the intense scrutiny that comes with it. Regardless of where you stand politically, it was a remarkable display of professionalism, resilience, and composure under pressure. I wish you all the best for a full and speedy recovery @PamBondi Still, some people will be disappointed to hear that Bondi’s testimony today was not under oath. It was not aired to the public or even recorded, so we don’t have any footage of her actually answering questions. Fox News provided further coverage in this clip: JUST NOW: Former AG Pam Bondi just TESTIFIED for 3.5 HOURS on the Epstein Files as she recovers from thyroid cancer, seen with a bandage on her throat Pray for Bondi's recovery from cancer "She was not under oath…it was not video-taped." pic.twitter.com/5qrhf5x7eZ — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) May 29, 2026 As for what went on behind closed doors during Bondi’s testimony, we know that she stood by the DOJ’s release of the Epstein files, while admitting “redaction errors” were made. Here’s a summary on Bondi’s opening remarks on Capitol Hill: Expressed pride in the DOJ’s unprecedented transparency under her leadership during the Trump administration, including the production of nearly 3 million pages of Epstein files, thousands of videos, and hundreds of thousands of images. Highlighted that Epstein/Maxwell investigations and document releases only advanced under President Trump across multiple administrations (Bush through Biden). Stated that, to the best of her knowledge, the DOJ produced everything required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act through a diligent, good-faith, comprehensive review process. Noted she delegated oversight to then-Deputy AG (now Acting AG) Todd Blanche and did not personally lead every aspect of the review. Said the review team assured her that withheld materials were only non-responsive, privileged, or duplicative; the DOJ also provided Congress access to unredacted/duplicative materials for maximum transparency. Acknowledged “redaction errors” occurred, but emphasized the Department’s ongoing commitment to accountability, transparency, and pursuing any credible evidence of criminal activity. Reaffirmed her career focus on fighting for victims, expressed sorrow for their suffering, and encouraged them to come forward to the FBI. Concluded that “justice and transparency” on the Epstein files were delivered at the direction of President Trump and his administration. Following her appearance on Capitol Hill, Pam Bondi took to X to correct some lies already being pushed by Democrats in Congress about her testimony. For instance, Rep. Walkinshaw tried to imply that Bondi left it up in the air as to whether or not President Trump knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes early. Here’s that original clip: Rep. Walkinshaw said that Pam Bondi was asked if Trump knew about Epstein’s crimes early, and instead of “he knew nothing” she hits them with “I don’t know… I’m not certain of the extent”pic.twitter.com/BlkToEm1bx https://t.co/SyuI8KieoS — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) May 29, 2026 Bondi shot down his claims as a gigantic “MISREPRESENTATION” in this reply on X: MISREPRESENTATION by Walkinshaw. What the world knows to be true is President Trump banned Epstein from Mar a Lago decades ago bc Epstein was a despicable creep!! https://t.co/x6tCIbTZPK — Pam Bondi (@PamBondi) May 29, 2026 In another instance, Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia claimed that Bondi tried to shove all responsibility onto current Acting AG Todd Blanche. Watch what he said here: .@RepRobertGarcia (D-CA) outside former Attorney General Pam Bondi's deposition in Epstein probe: "She continues to push all of the investigation and the blame on Acting AG Todd Blanche." pic.twitter.com/cqDuXUTbZs — CSPAN (@cspan) May 29, 2026 But, Bondi was quick to correct him on X: NOT TRUE. I praised Acting AG Blanche’s management of this Herculean task. I said his ethics are beyond reproach and that he is an incredible Attorney General. https://t.co/vuzw32KC3k — Pam Bondi (@PamBondi) May 29, 2026 Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon was also present during Bondi’s testimony on Capitol Hill. She revealed more details to the New York Post: Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told The Post following Bondi’s four-hour transcribed interview before the House Oversight Committee that the 60-year-old also declared twice that Maxwell, the accomplice and occasional girlfriend of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, should not receive a presidential pardon. “Females who collaborate with sex offenders are worse because they procure other victims for the sex offender,” Dhillon said Bondi had expressed. The former AG also maintained that the 64-year-old Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence after being convicted in late 2021 on charges including sex trafficking conspiracy and trafficking of a minor, was “very evil” and should not have her sentence commuted. The House Oversight Committee is investigating the Department of Justice’s handling of files related to Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell Aug. 10, 2019, while awaiting his own trial on federal trafficking charges.

With the US turning 250 and President Donald Trump poised to celebrate his 80th birthday, there’s plenty of reason for festivities this summer. But given the blinding animosity many leftists agitators feel toward the president, it’s not surprising that many Americans won’t be wishing him many happy returns. And at least some of the particularly high-strung activists are planning to take to the streets to express their shallow political opinions as part of the tired “No Kings” movement. The Hill provided this report: “The next 250 starts with us. As America approaches its anniversary about what story we tell. We can let strongman politics and corruption define the moment,” the movement’s website states. “Or we can make the story of America about people coming together — across race, background, identity, belief, and community — to defend our rights and build a future rooted in people’s power.” “On June 14, we rise up, we sing out, and we keep organizing.” A 90-minute concert in New York City has been planned to headline the event. The “Rise Up, Sing Out” concert is set to take place at The Town Hall in midtown Manhattan and is scheduled to feature performances and appearances by singers Sasha Allen, Bette Midler, Patti Smith and Rufus Wainwright, along with actor Jane Fonda and liberal commentator Joy Reid.  The retread protest and who’s-who of TDS-stricken celebrities fueled some social media mockery: No Kings Protest #7 : Beating a Dead Horse Now if there were just Kings in the US, maybe it would make sense. — TheNewRedneck (@TheNewRedneck) May 29, 2026 Let them keep making idiots out of themselves. It will make for great content after the protests. — Claire Callahan (@ClairesRadar) May 29, 2026 I love the same group who selected an incompetent presidential candidate, ignoring the will of their own voters want to keep pretending that Trump wants to be a king. Everyone with a brain is laughing at you. — Thats O’Neill with two L’s (@carlphx1) May 29, 2026 Newsweek added these details: “No Kings” organizers are planning events across the U.S. on June 14, the day of Trump’s 80th birthday A national concert-style event, “Rise Up, Sing Out,” will anchor activities with watch parties  Several high-profile public figures and entertainers are listed as participants Organizers say events will focus on nonviolent participation The plans come amid wider attention on competing America 250 celebrationsand performer lineups Here’s a recap of another event being planned for Trump’s birthday: This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.
