Donald Trump Jr. and his new bride, Bettina, shared a behind-the-scenes peek into their wedding day at a luxury Bahamas resort. Trump Jr. shared the video alongside a heartfelt caption that read, “The night I married my best friend, my love, and my forever.” “Bettina, you have brought so much peace, joy, and light into my life. Standing beside you, surrounded by our siblings, your mom, Donnie, and Kai, I have never felt more grateful or more certain of anything,” it went on. “My wife. My heart. My forever.” The video, set to The Ronettes classic song, “Be My Baby,” puts together moments from the couple’s big day last Saturday, May 23, with clips including the couple dressed in coordinating outfits and appearing to take photos before the ceremony in front of the tropical beach backdrop.     View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Donald Trump Jr. (@donaldjtrumpjr) Shots from the ceremony, including the small details that made it special, such as Bettina’s locket to honor her late father and a “B” stitched inside Don Jr.’s suit jacket. There was also a shot of a candle that read, “Love Trumps All.”  The video also shows Don Jr. getting ready for the ceremony and reading what seems to be a note from his bride. Other Trump family members can be seen in attendance at the small, intimate chapel where the wedding ceremony took place. The end of the video shows the newlywed Trumps sharing a kiss as the attendees held sparklers. There were several Trump family members in attendance, as Don Jr., 48, tied the knot with socialite Bettina Anderson, 39, and the groom’s sister Ivanka also posted a few photos from the event to her Instagram last week.  President Donald Trump announced ahead of time that he would not be there due to his busy schedule.  “While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so,” Trump shared on Truth Social ahead of the event. “I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina!” The couple got engaged in December and had reportedly considered holding the ceremony at the White House before choosing the destination wedding. Donald Trump Jr. was previously married to Vanessa Trump from 2005 until 2018 and shares five children with her. He was later engaged to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, but that relationship ended in 2024.

Former first lady Jill Biden suggested during a recent interview that the White House health care team should have diagnosed former President Joe Biden’s advanced prostate cancer much earlier. Jill Biden spoke with Rita Braver for an interview that aired on CBS News and discussed her husband’s diagnosis, which came just a few months after they left the White House in early 2025, and how the health care team could have missed the aggressive disease that had already metastasized to his bones.

I mean, we are still doing a lot of things, writing, traveling, speaking. But then we come home, and this is our peaceful place, let’s put it that way,” Jill Biden replied, noting that she and the former president were certainly still keeping themselves busy. Braver provided the voice-over as the network cut to the next portion of the interview: “But there has not been a lot of peace for the Bidens.” “Just four months after leaving office, President Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of stage four prostate cancer that had traveled to his bones,” Braver prompted, and Jill Biden affirmed that timeline. “How is the president doing now?” “He is doing well. But it was a shock. I mean, Rita, honestly, I can remember getting the diagnosis, and it was just, it was shocking,” she explained. Braver opened the door for Jill Biden to put the onus on the White House health care team: “Do you think that someone, when he was in The White House, should have discovered it, given him a test?” “Well, you know, the doctors said that according to the American Urological Association, that men over 70 don’t need a PSA, a blood test anymore because it’s a slow-growing cancer. I have to say, Rita, I do feel we had amazing care in The White House, but somehow that was missed,” she replied. “So you’re a little bit tense when it comes to his health, huh?” Braver pressed. “I don’t know if the word is ‘tense,’ but I think I’m vigilant,” Jill Biden replied. The former first lady also recently revealed that she had worried that her husband might have been having a stroke during his debate with President Donald Trump. Trump challenged her in a Truth Social post, arguing that if she had truly been concerned for her husband’s health during the debate, she should have rushed out onto the stage to help him. “She said that she thought he was having a ‘stroke,’ and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do,” he said.

Talk about a hostile environment. A lesbian couple at a Barcelona LGBTQ spa were thrown out onto the street — all because one of them dared to wear a Star of David pendant. The incident took place during a private event at Sauna Thermas, a venue that ironically boasts on its website that it “welcome[s] everybody.” Video captured by the victims and posted by the Daily Mail shows a tense interrogation by an event organizer from the group Bolleras al Vapor. “Are you a Zionist person?” the organizer demanded. “Why did you ask me that question? Because I’m wearing a Jewish star?” the American couple replied. Another woman quickly chimed in with semantic gymnastics: “The question is not Jewish, it’s Zionist.” When the couple tried to defuse the situation, offering to lock away their phones and promising they just wanted to enjoy themselves, the woke gatekeepers doubled down. “Free Palestine, please leave,” a woman barked in the footage. “You’re not welcome, go.” The leftist bullies even threatened to call the police on the married couple. As they walked away in utter disbelief, one of the women remarked sarcastically, “Welcome to Barcelona.” Sauna Thermas has since gone into damage-control mode, publicly condemning the incident on X, terminating its relationship with Bolleras al Vapor, and stating that it “reject[s] any form of antisemitism.” Israel’s Foreign Ministry also blasted the attack, writing: “Targeting Jews because of Jewish symbols … is blatant antisemitism.” While the spa blames rogue organizers, the reality is that Spain has fast become a hotbed for anti-Jewish hostility, driven by a radical left-wing government coalition. Just this year, vandals desecrated Jewish graves at Barcelona’s Les Corts cemetery. Additionally, in February, three elderly Israeli women, including a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor, were expelled from the Reina Sofia Museum when they had a Star of David necklace and an Israeli flag. The ladies were met with insults, including the accusation that they were “crazy child killers,” “murderers,” and “genocidal maniacs.” In 2024, the museum hosted a radical program titled “From the River to the Sea,” while Barcelona’s city council severed ties with its twin city, Tel Aviv, in 2025. Politically, Spain has led a vicious European crusade against Israel, halting arms transfers and even blocking ships carrying weapons to Israel from docking at Spanish ports. Experts say this political extremism is fueled by deep-seated prejudice. In a 2021 essay published by the German Federal Agency for Civic Education, sociologist Alejandro Baer wrote: Spain is a country where Jews represent approximately 0.1% of the overall population, and yet there is an outsized acceptance and historically unabated indulgence of antisemitic stereotypes … opinion polls continue to reveal deeply rooted antisemitic clichés.

This article is part of Upstream, The Daily Wire’s new home for culture and lifestyle. Real human insight and human stories — from our featured writers to you. *** I was visiting Canada’s East Coast last week and happened to tour the Fortress of Louisbourg, the largest reconstructed historic fort in North America. At one point, a reenactor explained that the French were so keen on keeping their colony dependent that nearly everything there had to be shipped in from France: basic supplies, stone, stonemasons, and even firewood. (For added comic effect, we were literally standing next to a forest.) It was a small but salient detail, underscoring the perennial absurdity of government planning from past to present and the colonial condescension that would eventually help fuel the American Revolution. That same tension runs through “Revolutionary America,” Hillsdale College’s first feature-length documentary. Directed by Ian Anthony Reid and narrated by Tom Selleck, the film traces the struggle for independence from the French and Indian War through the Revolution and into the constitutional settlement that followed. Its central question is not merely how the Americans won independence, but why ordinary men risked their lives, fortunes, families, reputations, and futures for what must have seemed, at the time, like political fantasy. The film begins with the French and Indian War, framing the event as the turning point that reshaped both North America and the relationship between Britain and its colonies. By the war’s end, Britain’s American territories were roughly the size of the Roman Empire at its peak. It was at this moment, the documentary suggests, that the British Empire truly became the Empire. Yet imperial grandeur came with imperial expenses, and the Crown soon began imposing draconian taxes on the colonies to compensate for its spending — a veritable inspiration for New York’s current mayor. The issue, as the film wisely emphasizes, was not simply money. Taxes are not merely about money; they reveal a theory of government: who has authority, who owes obedience, and who gets to decide the terms of civic life. This is where “Revolutionary America” is strongest. It shows how the Tea Act and Coercive Acts (among others) were part of a broader imperial posture. As Daily Wire host Michael Knowles observes in the film, Britain treated the colonies like children and resented their success while lavishly profiting from them — like child stars whose parents appoint themselves managers and siphon off the proceeds. The colonists’ grievance was therefore not reducible to a tepid tax revolt. They were objecting to a form of rule that denied them the rights and responsibilities they believed were endowed by a higher power. The English monarch believed the inverse: that this same higher power had ordained him with the authority to dictate those rights. Hillsdale understands the Revolution as a moral argument foremost, rooted in the conservative preservation of inherited liberties rather than the radical, abstract restructuring of society that later doomed the French model. Among Hillsdale’s triumphs is the selected cast. Tom Selleck’s earnest narration carries a warm and disarming authority that effortlessly conveys his passion for the period and his esteem for its heroes. The commentators are effective as well, especially Hillsdale professor Wilfred McClay, whose amicable and endearing speaking style is as effective as any advertisement for the college. The documentary also cleverly layers commentary with letters, speeches, maps, landscapes, paintings, sketches, and architectural footage. The camera deftly moves through them, isolating details and drawing the viewer into the scene with the careful theatricality of one of those immersive Van Gogh exhibitions. The result is visually richer than one might expect from an educational documentary working within what was likely a modest budget. Ryan Moore’s musical score also gives the film great momentum, from pulsating snare drums placing you squarely amid the chaos of a raging battlefield, to lush, pastoral string arrangements carrying you through the sweeping landscape of the era. The film’s strongest section comes at Valley Forge, the defining crucible of the American Revolution. Reid combines snowy landscapes, period sketches, animated letters, and intimate narration to evoke the misery of the winter of 1777 to 1778. Letters from soldiers, including Timothy Pickering writing to his wife about the lack of shoes and clothing amid the freezing privation, convey both the hardship and endurance required to wage war against the superpower of their time. Here, too, the film foregrounds the Christian dimension of the Revolution. The Americans’ determination was driven by the conviction that their rights were not indulgences from the Crown, but truths ordained by a higher power. “We are on a mission from God,” as the Blues Brothers would later proclaim. George Washington and his compatriots believed their rights came from God as firmly as the English monarch believed his right to rule did. Only one vision of authority could prevail. That is the deeper argument of “Revolutionary America.” Rights do not come from government and therefore cannot rightly be taken away by government. Watching the documentary, I was reminded of what Abraham Lincoln meant at Gettysburg when he described the United States as a government “of the people, by the people, for the people”: The American Revolution was not about changing management but asserting that legitimate government derives from the consent of the governed. The final stretch moves toward the Constitution and the crucial work of preserving what the Revolution began. Asked whether the convention had produced a monarchy or a republic, Benjamin Franklin famously quipped: “A republic, if you can keep it.” And that is the documentary’s lingering lesson. The Constitution is, in a sense, only a piece of paper. It cannot preserve itself. “We the people” must keep the republic. *** Harry Khachatrian (@Harry1T6) is a film critic for the Washington Examiner.

Sydney Sweeney posted a snarky reply to her critics on Instagram on Sunday.  “It’s called … acting,” the 28-year-old actress wrote in the caption alongside a carousel of behind-the-scenes snapshots from the HBO drama series “Euphoria.” The most recent season was just announced to be the end of the show. It has also been the most controversial. The season 3 finale, “In God We Trust,” was actually the series finale, series creator and director Sam Levinson confirmed on the podcast “Popcast.” Levinson had hinted at it before the season 3 premiere, saying he writes “every season like it’s the last.”  He also didn’t commit to doing a fourth season, telling The New York Times in April, “I don’t know. As of right now, all I want to do is hang out with my wife and kids and read some Elmore Leonard and watch ‘Mrs. Miniver’ again.”  The official “Euphoria” description says it’s about “a group of high school students as they navigate drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship.” The story skips forward in time for the third season as the characters “wrestle with the virtue of faith, the possibility of redemption and the problem of evil.” One major controversy for season 3 has been the storyline involving Sweeney’s character, Cassie, creating an OnlyFans to help fund her upcoming wedding. She acts out strange fetishes, including dressing as a dog on a leash and a baby in a diaper, plus sends one fan her underwear. These antics drew the ire of sex workers, who say it makes them all look bad. “In the climate we’re in, that they dressed her up as a baby to make pornographic OnlyFans content was beyond troubling and again serves to perpetuate stereotypes that sex workers have no moral compass and that they will do anything for money,” former “Boy Meets World” actress Maitland Ward told Variety last month. “And there’s always this untrue stigma that somehow sex work is synonymous with sex trafficking and abuse. And they just said, let’s make a joke of it. That is so funny. I’m not laughing.” Levinson told The Hollywood Reporter back in April that the story arc was never meant to be flattering, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “[Cassie] has got her dog house and her little dog ears and the nose, and that has its own humor, but what makes the scene is the fact that her housekeeper is the one filming it,” he said at the time. “What we wanted to always find is the other layer of absurdity that we’re able to tie into it so that we’re not too inside of her fantasy or illusion — the gag is to jump out, to break the wall.”
