Not everyone in Iran is opposed to the Iranian regime’s authoritarian rule. Videos on X show Iranian police officers opening fire on a U.S. Black Hawk helicopter as it attempted to find pilots that ejected from a F-15E fighter jet that was shot down by Iran. In the video officers are seen firing several rounds at the Black Hawk and in the background you can hear people cheering. CNN provided more details on the officers’ actions: A video shared Friday appears to show a group of Iranian police officers shooting at a pair of helicopters flying at low altitude over the town of Charam, in southwestern Iran. The person filming the video, which was posted on X, says the men are “our police officers” and cheers as they open fire. The car that the men get out of has a green stripe on its side, like Iran’s police cars. The helicopters appear to be a variant of the US-made Black Hawk helicopter, which both the US and Israel operate. Some specialized Black Hawk variants are commonly used in combat search and rescue missions, like the one currently being carried out over southwestern Iran. The pair of helicopters in the video are about 55 miles inside Iran, and nearly 200 miles from the nearest US base. Multiple other videos showing military aircraft operating over Iran on Friday were filmed nearby, apparently taking part in an intense search and rescue effort for the two crew members of an American F-15E which was shot down. One of the crew members has been rescued, sources told CNN, but the status of the other crew member is unclear.

The governor of one of the Islamic Republic’s provinces stated that anyone who captures or kills the crew would receive a special commendation. Video circulating on social media appeared to show a low-flying U.S. Air Force HC-130 refueling a pair of HH-60G Pave Hawks over Iran while conducting a search for the downed crew. What’s your view?

Happy Good Friday everyone! In just two days, we will join with family and friends to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, our Lord and Savior. Ahead of this year’s Easter holiday, President Trump delivered a beautiful, Christ-centered message. He quoted John 3:16, which perfectly sums up the Easter message:  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. In addition to honoring Christ’s resurrection, President Trump noted that we are also celebrating a resurrection of faith in our nation as more and more young Americans come to Christ. We are truly witnessing a Christian revival in our nation under President Trump, and it’s such a wonderful thing! Watch President Trump’s full Easter message here: BREAKING: President Trump just said it PERFECTLY "As I have often said, to be a great nation, you must have religion and you must have God!"

In his death, he modeled true love. And in his resurrection from the tomb, he proved that even death itself will not silence those who place their trust in Almighty God.” “As it says in Gospel of John, for God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, for whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Eternal life, such beautiful words!” “This Easter, millions of Christians all over the globe will be reminded that because of what Jesus did on the cross, all of us can live every day with hope in God’s promise, knowing that in the end, evil and wickedness will not prevail.” “In the spirit of joy and renewal this Easter, we also celebrate the extraordinary resurrection of faith and religion in America.” “In churches across the nation on Sunday, the pews will be fuller, younger, and more faithful than they have at any time in many, many years. Religion is growing again in our country for the first time in decades.” “Happy Easter to all. May God bless you. May God bless the United States of America. Our country is doing so well like never before. Thank you.” Amen, Mr. President! He said it very well. In order to truly Make America Great Again, you’ve got to put God first. It can’t be done without Him. President Trump’s Easter message is resonating with a lot of fellow Christian patriots: Beautiful message, President Trump! Faith in God truly makes America great again. Wishing everyone a joyful Easter filled with hope and love. God bless you and God bless our wonderful nation! ❤️

The details are still emerging following President Trump’s firing of Pam Bondi. But even with the dust still settling, payback and retribution are on the menu. Within the last few hours, photos and reports have started going viral which seem to show some of that payback with bucket loads of poetic irony. To which the DOJ swiftly responded with charges of fake news. I’m talking about Pam Bondi’s official DOJ portrait dropped unceremoniously into a waste basket — we just call them trash cans down here in Texas — after she received her proverbial pink slip from the President. Multiple outlets are running with the story — all based on this single photo offered up without a named source. That’s code for… UNVERIFIED and UNCONFIRMED, and that part will become important in a moment. TMZ wasn’t the first to run with it, but they had a whopping 1.2 million views as of the time of this report with their version of the story: Pam Bondi's portrait was tossed in the trash at the Department of Justice after Trump firing https://t.co/6wOrRC9iJM pic.twitter.com/7qF6Ziz95l — TMZ (@TMZ) April 3, 2026 The initial dustup came from MS Now (formerly MSNBC). MS Now’s Ken Dilanian shared the photo on X, which simultaneously grew legs as a full-fledged story as a result: https://t.co/JTDhqwkXXi pic.twitter.com/NmtVlxFRuT — Ken Dilanian (@KDilanianMSNOW) April 3, 2026 Let me be clear, (yes, I heard Obama’s voice in my head when I wrote that — it’s seared in, and I can’t help it)… There is no confirmation on whether or not that really is Bondi’s official DOJ portrait in the trash can. But the media, excited at the chance of hitting back at the Trump Administration for what they perceive as past injustices, have smelled blood in the water. Now, everyone’s running with the story which purports to show how quickly the tables can turn. Dilanian, who co-wrote MSNOW’s subsequent article, argues that it just shows how much anger there was towards Pam Bondi in the completely bipartisan and a-political Department of Justice. (Yep… dripping with sarcasm there.) That’s according to this coverage of the already infamous Bondi portrait flap, as reported by Huffpost: There doesn’t seem to be a lot of love at the Department of Justice for recently ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi. Shortly after President Donald Trump announced Bondi’s removal from the AG job, images started circulating on social media showing her official DOJ portrait being quickly removed from its previous spot next to photos of the president and Vice President JD Vance, MS NOW reported. One photo that is going viral shows the portrait of Bondi unceremoniously dumped in a trash can. MS NOW’s Ken Dilanian, who co-wrote the article with Carol Leonnig, appeared on the network Friday and said the trashed pic signals how many DOJ employees feel about Bondi. “Look, there’s a lot of anger, especially among the career workforce, about Pam Bondi and what she did to change the Justice Department, more so than any attorney general in modern history,” Dilanian said. He said DOJ employees’ main issue with Bondi is that she incorrectly assumed that the career workforce at DOJ is more sympathetic to Democrats than Republicans. In response, the DOJ posted a side-by-side. On the left… Ken Dilanian’s post is labeled “FAKE NEWS”. And on the right… what the DOJ says is the truth: Fake News vs. Real News pic.twitter.com/rMBJ9cGf5T — DOJ Rapid Response (@DOJRR47) April 3, 2026   Again, let me be clear. I don’t have a clue whether that initial photo was staged or AI-generated to capitalize on Bondi’s ouster, or whether it was real. But I do find it telling that in a world DOMINATED by AI-generated deep fakes… We still often find ourselves at the mercy of a photograph, EITHER of which could be easily faked. I don’t know about you, but that still makes me really nervous. You might have realized by now why the issue of Bondi’s portrait in a trash can is even a thing. If you’ll recall, the DOJ was super slow in changing out the previous Administration’s portraits following President Trump’s swearing in last year. Bondi, at the time, captured the hearts of many… by handling the issue herself — as was reported at the time by Fox News: Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday personally stripped the Justice Department’s walls of portraits of former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and her own predecessor, former Attorney General Merrick Garland, saying it was “ridiculous” for the portraits to still be hanging nearly three weeks into President Donald Trump’s tenure. Bondi’s role in personally removing the portraits, first shared on X by the New York Post’s Miranda Devine, was confirmed to Fox News Digital by a Justice Department official. Bondi “saw portraits of Garland, Biden, Harris were still up, and she took the initiative to take them off the walls herself and stack them in the corner,” the official told Fox News. The actions come after Bondi, who was sworn in earlier this month, vowed during her confirmation hearing in January not to politicize the Justice Department. Bondi, a longtime state prosecutor in Florida and two-time state attorney general, used her roughly five-hour confirmation hearing last month to vow that, if confirmed, the “partisanship, the weaponization” at the Justice Department “will be gone.” Here’s the social media post quoted in that article which broke that story back in February of 2025: Attorney General @PamBondi went into the DOJ in DC today and noticed that on the walls in one wing they still have big framed photos of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Merrick Garland. This is “ridiculous” three weeks into Donald Trump’s presidency. So she took down the photos… — Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) February 12, 2025 Here’s the full text of that historic post for context and convenience: Attorney General @PamBondi went into the DOJ in DC today and noticed that on the walls in one wing they still have big framed photos of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Merrick Garland. This is “ridiculous” three weeks into Donald Trump’s presidency. So she took down the photos off the wall, there and then, on her own, and stacked them in a corner where we hope they will never be seen again. Bravo! It is admittedly a weird world. We have the anti-Trump establishment legacy media (name changes notwithstanding, MSN-Whatever)… Along with a large portion of the pro-Trump base… Both simultaneously excited, for vastly different reasons, that a key Trump Administration official has been removed. And many in BOTH CAMPS are having a laugh at Bondi’s expense right now over that photo — of HER photo — in the trash! If that doesn’t reveal the complexities of DC politics, I don’t know what does! I still don’t know whether or not it was all staged to begin with for social media clicks. But I definitely know what happens when you make promises to an entire voter base and fail to keep those promises. File 13. In many ways, it doesn’t matter whether that photo is real, or AI-generated. It’s one thing for the Democratic Party to hate you and openly mock you; that’s expected. But once you are seen to be the face of empty promises, it’s only a matter of time before your photo ends up in the trash. What’s your take?

This is sure to destroy her reputation. Former child star Mellisa Gilbert is defending her husband actor Timothy Busfield after he was charged with child sex abuse. Gilbert who starred on Little House on the Prairie as Laura Ingalls, defended her husband in an interview with Good Morning America which is set to air soon. NBC New York reported more on Gilbert’s soon to be aired interview: Melissa Gilbert, who is married to actor Timothy Busfield, is speaking out for the first time since her husband was charged with child sex abuse. In a preview of an interview with Gilbert on “Good Morning America,” Gilbert said the past few months have been “the most traumatizing experience of our lives.” The full interview is set to air on “Good Morning America” on Monday. When asked by “GMA” host George Stephanopoulos why she is speaking out now, Gilbert said: “It’s time.” “Our life as we knew it is done. We are grieving what we had. All of our plans, all of our dreams, all of our ideas, all of our projects,” Gilbert said, according to “GMA.” “For Tim, it’s done. He’s canceled … even if he’s exonerated, he will always be that guy. The last person in the world who would hurt a child,” she said. Gilbert continued, “And believe me, if I thought for a second that Tim Busfield hurt a child, he’d have a lot more to worry about than prison.” Busfield and Gilbert, both actors, married in 2013. Busfield is perhaps most well known for his role as Danny Concannon in “The West Wing.” In February, Busfield was indicted by a grand jury in New Mexico on four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child, the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office said in a press release at the time. Melissa Gilbert said her husband being charged for child sex abuse has been "the most traumatizing experience of our lives." https://t.co/vG3dACkyFp — NBC News (@NBCNews) April 3, 2026 US Weekly reported more on Busfield’s alleged crime: A warrant for Busfield’s arrest, obtained by Us, was issued by authorities in New Mexico on January 9, 2026, after he was accused of sexual misconduct involving a minor. The alleged incidents occurred while Busfield was directing The Cleaning Lady, which aired on Fox from 2022 to 2025. Busfield’s accuser and his twin brother worked as child actors on the show. According to the criminal complaint, the child involved claimed that Busfield first touched his “private areas” inappropriately when he was 7 years old. He accused the West Wing alum of touching him three or four times. In a separate incident when the child was 8 years old, Busfield allegedly touched him five or six times. The boy was “very afraid of Tim and was relieved when he was off set,” according to the affidavit. He also stated that he “was afraid to tell anyone because Tim was the director, and he feared Tim would get mad at him.” The child’s mother reported to Child Protective Services that the alleged abuse occurred between late 2022 and the second half of 2024, according to the complaint. The child was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety following the alleged incidents. Care to share your thoughts?

This is a flashback to one of my favorite bits Glenn Beck has ever done….has me laughing hysterically every time I see it! Recently, I covered a new report from Glenn Beck. You can read that here. But I can’t cover Glenn Beck and not show you one of the most hilarious things he’s ever done. This one actually had me literally laughing out loud so I had to share it with you. I actually don’t get to watch Glenn Beck all that often but I always liked him and I happened to click on this video of his today and it had me in stitches. So here’s the background…. Apparently at Dubai Design Week (whatever that is) a new “invention” was released called the “Themis”. Named after the Greek goddess of justice, the “Themis” is designed to sound an alarm when your speech includes something “offensive”. Gee, what could possibly go wrong? This is the “goddess” Themis: And this is the new “invention”: https://twitter.com/newsoneplace/status/1459856380513460230 [censored] https://twitter.com/aspals/status/1460673637632118789 [censored] The DailyMail had more info on the horrific new device: A new trigger-warning detector which sound alarms when it detects offensive speech has been unveiled at Dubai Design Week. The Themis is a lamp-sized device intended to ‘moderate’ debate in classrooms and universities and ‘manifest political correctness’ into a product. The small device could even be used to police language at dinner parties and family gatherings and its developers have said it hopes that Themis will encourage ‘self-critique’. The Themis (pictured) emits irritating sounds when it detects racial slurs and ‘offensive’ jokes +2 The Themis will emit irritating sounds when it detects offensive speech has been said around it Zinah Issa, who unveiled the device in Dubai, told The Telegraph: ‘Through the use of speech recognition and sound sensors we were able to program Themis to detect offensive terms – racial slurs, offensive jokes – through the microphone. ‘Extremely bothersome alarms last approximately two minutes, after which Themis turns off, allowing an open, understanding discussion among people on the possible trigger matter and the potential reasons behind Themis’s activation’. The device is named for Themis, the Greek goddess of justice and social order. Themis is being currently trialled in classrooms and universities with a view to a wider roll-out soon. The design were unveiled at the Global Grad Show where students from across the Middle East and North Africa were invited to share their work. So that’s actually rather disturbing, but the part that had my cracking up was Glenn Beck’s bit he did about it. In a sketch where he pretends to be talking to his co-host Stew, they start talking about the story and then find out that the Themis starts going off on Stew. When Glenn says “Hang on, our Themis has just gone off” I lost it. It’s a good thing I wasn’t drinking something or I would have sprayed it all over my computer screen.

Well done, Glenn and Stew!
