The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh reportedly was hit by two drones, causing “minor material damage.” “In his first reaction to the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, President Trump told me, ‘you’ll find out soon,’ what his retaliation will be,” NewsNation White House correspondent Kellie Meyer said.

Three people told Reuters that a loud blast was heard and flames were seen at the embassy, though the Saudi Defence Ministry and one of the sources told the news agency that the fire in the aftermath of the drone attack was small in scale. The embassy building was empty at the time of the attack, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters, and there were no reports of casualties. A source close to the Saudi military, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the AFP news agency that air defences had intercepted four drones targeting Riyadh’s diplomatic quarter in the attack. “The U.S. Mission to Saudi Arabia has issued a shelter in place notification for Jeddah, Riyadh and Dhahran and are limiting non-essential travel to any military installations in the region – we recommend American citizens in the Kingdom to shelter in place immediately and avoid the Embassy until further notice due to an attack on the facility,” U.S. Embassy Riyadh stated. “The U.S. Mission to Saudi Arabia continues to monitor the regional situation. We encourage all travelers to review our most recent Security Alerts, review any travel plans in case of disruptions, and make appropriate decisions to keep themselves and their families safe. We advise all U.S. citizens to maintain a personal safety plan. Crises can happen unexpectedly while traveling or living abroad, and a good plan helps you think through potential scenarios and determine in advance the best course of action,” it added.

Just after midnight local time, Israel’s military said it was working to intercept a large wave of missiles launched from Iran targeting multiple locations, including Jerusalem. The defense ministry of the United Arab Emirates said it was dealing with a barrage of ballistic missiles coming from Iran, while Qatar’s defence ministry said it intercepted two ballistic missiles early Tuesday morning. Fresh explosions were heard later in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Tuesday morning, news agencies report. Saudi Arabia’s defense ministry posted just after 6 a.m. local time (3:00 GMT) on Tuesday that it had “intercepted and destroyed” eight near Riyadh and the city of Al-Kharj, some 100 kilometers (62 miles) southeast of the capital. According to a statement issued by Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, Iran also targeted Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain overnight.

Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) announced on Monday that he will not seek re-election in the 2026 midterms. “It has been my highest honor to serve America and the Great State of Montana. We have secured critical funding for Montana bridges, roads, sewer systems, water infrastructure, public access points, conservation projects, and helped thousands of Montanans successfully navigate through the federal bureaucracy to solve real problems that matter to the people that I am honored to represent,” Zinke said. “Service is a duty that I will always hold sacred, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. As for my service and duty going forward, I have made the decision to leave office at the end of my fourth term and not seek re-election,” he added.

While Zinke said his injuries, sustained from a 22-year career as a Navy SEAL, are not life-threatening, his recovery will require him to spend “considerable time” with his wife, Lola Zinke, and their family. While he said his injuries, sustained from a 22-year career as a Navy SEAL, are not life-threatening, his recovery will require him to spend “considerable time” with his wife, Lola Zinke, and their family. “Ryan Zinke served Montana and our country with honor and distinction for four decades. From 23 years as a Navy SEAL, where he earned the Bronze Star, to his time in the Montana Senate, as Secretary of Interior in the first Trump administration and in the U.S. House, Ryan Zinke fought for Montana values and worked every day to ensure Montana will always be the ‘last best place,'” Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) said. “I have known Ryan since we were in high school. We attended Montana Boys State in Dillon together in 1979. He was a Whitefish Bulldog and I was a Bozeman Hawk. His desire to serve his country was evident back then. Cindy and I thank both he and Lola for their service to our state and our nation and wish him all the best in his retirement,” he continued.

He also issued a press release stating that he had been endorsed by Zinke, Gov. Greg Gianforte, Senator Tim Sheehy and other Republican officials. The listed contact for Flint’s campaign was Zinke’s chief of staff, Heather Swift. Flint, who hosts a three-hour, conservative statewide morning radio show from Billings, staffed Zinke’s office as an employee of the U.S. House Clerk for more than three months in 2017 after the representative resigned his at-large Montana district to become Interior secretary. Flint held the position until Gianforte was elected to replace Zinke in the 2017 special election. Former congressional candidate Dr. Al Olszewski told Montana Free Press that he was filing to run as a Republican in the western district. Olszewski, a former Kalispell state senator, said he had been watching candidate filings to see if Zinke would run. He said that he suspected Zinke wouldn’t. Zinke defeated Olszewski in the 2022 primary. The race was so close that it took a few days to confirm the outcome. Four Democrats — Ryan Busse, Russ Cleveland, Sam Forstag and Matt Rains — have announced their intentions to run in the primary in the Western District. Zinke won the seat by 4 percentage points against Democrat Monica Tranel in 2022, and then 7.6 points in 2024 as an incumbent against Tranel again.

The Supreme Court on Monday blocked a state judge from redrawing the congressional district held by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY). Malliotakis, who is the lone Republican representative in New York City, filed an emergency application to keep her district in place for the 2026 midterm elections. House Republican Submits Emergency Filing To Supreme Court Over District Redraw The Hill has more: The high court’s intervention marks a new twist in the legal battle that has rippled through New York’s state judiciary and thrown the future of New York’s 11th Congressional District into question. It marks a victory for Republicans, who had been bracing for the possibility that the district would swing to Democrats if it was redesigned ahead of the midterm elections. A state judge had ordered the boundaries be redrawn after ruling the district dilutes Black and Latino voting strength in violation of the state constitution. The Supreme Court granted Malliotakis’s emergency application to block that ruling as the litigation proceeds, effectively restoring her existing district lines for the midterms. The ruling appeared to split along ideological lines, with the three liberal justices publicly dissenting. Justice Samuel Alito voted in Malliotakis’s favor, saying the state judge’s order “blatantly discriminates on the basis of race,” while the other conservatives did not publicly disclose their votes. “Despite having a voter registration advantage in New York’s 11th Congressional District, Democrats can’t beat me on merit, policy and debate. So what do they do? They file a meritless lawsuit claiming our district disenfranchises minorities to take out the first minority to represent the district and steal our seat,” Malliotakis previously said. “We will not allow them, or a judge who previously served as chief of staff for Kathy Hochul, to silence the voters of our district. We will use every legal option at our disposal, including an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, to protect the voices of the people of Staten Island and Brooklyn and we are very confident that we will prevail at the end of the day,” she added.

They argued that state voters were entitled to “conduct their congressional elections under the lawful map that the New York Legislature adopted starting on February 24, free from a judicial mandate that violates multiple provisions of the United States Constitution.” Democrats urged the Supreme Court to stay out of the case and countered that the dispute dealt with state law. “It is New York courts, not federal courts, that should decide how to balance competing interests in minimizing disruptions to state-law election-calendar dates and in ensuring that the state’s election district map is lawful,” Democrats told the Supreme Court in written briefing. New York’s primary election will take place on June 23. A state appeals court sided with the Democrats in the dispute, clearing the way for the commission to redraw the district.

We finally have the full video footage of Hillary Clinton’s deposition from last week. It’s entirely unclear to me why you would record this and then release it a few days later….why not just make it live? But anyway, now we have it and we finally get to see her throw the fit we heard about last week. Watch here: BREAKING: Hillary Clinton throws an unhinged, hysterical MELTDOWN after we posted a photo of her testifying on Epstein. She SCREAMS at Republicans and then STORMS out of the room: “I am DONE WITH THIS. You can hold me in contempt. I’m DONE!” Yikes pic.twitter.com/kBsJqGqrFY — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) March 2, 2026 Even more interesting to me is to watch when she is asked about the “Frazzledrip” video on the Anthony Weiner laptop. Instead of just quickly dismissing it as bogus, she looks WILDLY uncomfortable and her attorneys jump in to claim this is “outside the scope” of the questioning. Why not just answer it quickly and dismiss it? This looks so much worse: Hillary Clinton loses her mind when asked if she is aware of a specific file on Anthony Weiner’s laptop titled “Life Insurance” with “Frazzledrip.” Hillary Clinton does not answer the question, and then they go off the record. pic.twitter.com/nE0CR4NFlH — Shadow of Ezra (@ShadowofEzra) March 2, 2026 You can watch the FULL deposition right here:

Meet current McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski. Chris thought it would be a good idea to eat the new “Big Arch” burger live on the air when the man seemingly has never eaten a burger — let alone McDonalds — in his entire life! Dude looks so milquetoast that I can’t quite imagine him eating anything other than yogurt, granola and fruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But a big sloppy “Big Arch” burger? Or a Big Mac? Or fries? I doubt it! And yet somehow this guy ended up becoming the CEO of McDonalds, proving once again that you truly can become anything you want in life! Anyway, this video is really a sight to behold. Instead of referring to it as a burger as most humans would, this robot calls it their new “product”. And he talks about how it’s been “tested” in Portugal, Germany and Canada as if it’s radioactive and unclear whether it will pass testing for human consumption or not! Then when he tries to pick it up, it’s as if he’s never truly held a burger in his hands before. I also love how he seems genuinely surprised and impressed at what ingredients are in the Big Arch, as if he doesn’t know exactly every little thing that goes into it! I’m not sure if you can have negative aura and charisma, but if you can this guy has it. Folks, this is why you never promote your CFO to CEO. Oh sure, Tim Cook will make you a lot of money, but Tim Cook and this Chris K. guy have zero heart.  Zero passion.  Zero vision.  It’s all just numbers on a spreadsheet and “products” you push upon the masses. Steve Jobs passionately loved creating insanely great new things. Ray Kroc loved burgers. But these milquetoast CFOs-turned-CEOs are so sad to me. Anyway, the video is hilarious. Watch here: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE McDONALD’S CEO MEETS A BURGER FOR THE FIRST TIME A guy watches the clip of McDonalds CEO Chris Kempczinski and absolutely dismantles it. “Tested in Portugal… Germany… Canada… may even be fit for human consumption.” Then the bite. Awkward… pic.twitter.com/HeyJ4MAMpv — HustleBitch (@HustleBitch_) February 26, 2026 Backup video here if needed: Look, I’ll say this….eating food on camera is almost never a winning proposition. It’s awkward. It looks bad. Your mouth is full. It’s sloppy. You want to talk to keep the video going but you can’t because you’re still chewing. So I get it. But bro, pretend like you at least like your own “product”! Also, fact-checked true that this guy makes about $18 million/year slinging this “product”. Imagine making $18,000,000 a year as the McDonald’s CEO… and still not being able to hide your disgust for your own “product.” pic.twitter.com/PCqgNdzErJ — HustleBitch (@HustleBitch_) March 2, 2026 Has anyone considered hiring this guy instead?

Most people don’t, and you can’t fault them for it. But Founders are special people. Founders instinctively get it.  They instinctively care.  Because they were the ones who cared so much that they created the business out of nothing and called it into being by their vision and their determination. Ray Kroc would famously visit McDonalds locations unannounced to check up on them and also constantly check up on the competitors: Ray Kroc used to drive around unannoced to McDonalds stores and ate few burgers a day (while counting burger wrappers in competitors trash to gauge their sales). Current McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski looks like he gonna hurl after eating new Big Arch. pic.twitter.com/pmeSCjkhrM — Trung Phan (@TrungTPhan) March 1, 2026 A good CFO will do a great job milking money from the machine the Founder builds, but they will never have the vision or care of a Founder. As I was watching Chris K. try to eat this “product”, I couldn’t help but think of this similar video: HILARIOUS: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Looks Like He’s About To BARF As He Tries To Eat Somali Food Oh my goodness, this had me dying laughing! And I ALMOST felt sorry for this guy, but then that feeling passed real quick.  Because you don’t get to sell out one of America’s once great cities and engender any sympathy from me.  Not gonna happen.  You made your bed, now lie in it! And in this case, that bed is rotten from the inside out, just like their disgusting food. Which is what Jacob Frey just found out. I’ve watched this on loop for about the past 10 minutes and it just keeps getting better. Watch his face! We all know that face. We’ve all MADE that face. That’s the face you make when you’re holding on for dear life trying like crazy not to barf out what you’re currently eating. LMAO!
