Turning Point USA announced Monday that Kid Rock will headline its alternative halftime show set to air during the Super Bowl on Sunday, rivaling Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny's performance during the NFL's official halftime show. The counter event, dubbed the "All American Halftime Show," is being promoted as a celebration of "faith, family and freedom" and will livestream Sunday evening across the group's social platforms. Kid Rock, a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump, will be joined by country artists Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett.

So, are you going to watch halftime? That's what someone asked me. Halftime? The Super Bowl halftime, he clarified. Oh, you mean because it will be headlined by Bad Rabbit or Easter Bunny or whatever he calls himself? Bad Bunny, he corrected me. B-A-D.

Dueling halftime performances will vie for the attention of viewers across the world at Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday night. One week after winning a Grammy for album of the year, Latin superstar Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show, along with rock band Green Day, who will start the opening ceremony. Country rock artist Kid Rock will lead the "All-American Halftime Show," hosted by Turning Point USA, the conservative advocacy group co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk.

It’s better the masses are outraged over NFL officiating rather than Trump

One way or another, it appears that a final showdown in the Middle East is going to happen. The tyrants that are running Iran have slaughtered tens of thousands of protesters, they have just deployed ballistic missiles that travel so fast that they can reach Israel in 10 minutes, it has been reported that they have been “developing biological and chemical warheads” for their long-range ballistic missiles, and during negotiations with the Trump administration they are absolutely refusing to make any significant compromises. They are calling President Trump’s bluff, and they are daring him to act. At this stage, it is not entirely clear what Trump intends to do. But even if Trump doesn’t pull the trigger, Israeli officials are warning that they will attack Iran anyway. The Israelis know all about the Khorramshahr-4 missiles that Iran now possesses. And they know all about the unconventional warheads that could potentially represent an apocalyptic threat to major Israeli cities. So they aren’t just going to sit back and do nothing if Trump ultimately decides against a U.S. military operation. According to the Jerusalem Post, Israeli officials are openly admitting that Israel will attack Iran alone if necessary… Israeli defense officials recently told their US counterparts that Iran’s ballistic missile program represents an existential threat, and that Jerusalem is prepared to act unilaterally if necessary. According to security sources, Israeli intentions to dismantle Iran’s missile capabilities and production infrastructure were conveyed in recent weeks through a series of high-level exchanges. Military officials outlined operational concepts to degrade the program, including strikes on key manufacturing sites. “We told the Americans we will strike alone if Iran crosses the red line we set on ballistic missiles,” the source said, adding that Israel is not yet at that threshold but is continuously tracking developments inside Iran. This is a major bombshell. But at the moment most news sources in the U.S. are focused on the Super Bowl and other matters. When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the White House on Wednesday, Iran’s ballistic missile program will be a major topic of discussion… Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will fly to Washington to meet with US President Donald Trump on Wednesday to discuss Iran, his office announced Saturday night, a day after US-Iranian talks were held in Oman. “The prime minister believes that any negotiations must include restrictions on ballistic missiles and an end to support for the Iranian axis,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in its statement announcing the meeting, indicating concerns about the progress of the US-Iran talks thus far. Netanyahu will depart for Washington on Tuesday, a source with knowledge told The Times of Israel Saturday. He will meet with the president Wednesday morning local time, and depart the US on Thursday, landing back in Israel Friday morning local time, the source said. Needless to say, when they meet Netanyahu will be pressuring Trump to attack Iran. I think that Trump would have preferred a diplomatic solution, but the Iranians are insisting that they must be allowed to continue to enrich uranium, and during the negotiations that just took place in Oman they wouldn’t even talk about their ballistic missile program… Before the meetings, Iranian officials insisted they only wanted to discuss issues related to the nuclear program, and that other matters such as Iran’s ballistic missile program, proxies across the region and domestic unrest were off limits. The US had demanded a broader set of discussions that includes ballistic missiles, Tehran’s armed proxies that remain a danger to US and Israeli interests in the region, and Iran’s recent brutal crackdown on protests. The Iranians are drawing a line in the sand. They will not stop enriching uranium. They will not even consider negotiating with us regarding their ballistic missile program. They will never stop funding proxies throughout the region. And they just killed tens of thousands of their own citizens and they don’t care what we think about that. So there is not going to be a negotiated solution. That means that President Trump has a decision to make, and the U.S. military buildup continues. We are being told that more than 100 military cargo planes have already traveled to the Middle East… This as on Friday the prominent open source account Armchair Admiral and others used public flight tracking data to tally that the huge armada of US Air Force C-17s and counting are en route – a trend since mid-January. “A total of 112 U.S. Air Force C-17’s have now either arrived or are en route to the Middle East with a further 17-18 in-progress flights, a number of Royal Air Force logistics flights from RAF Marham to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, and movement on U.S. Air Force CORONETs,” the source said. Of course this doesn’t mean that there is a guarantee that Trump will pull the trigger. As we have seen, he can be persuaded to change his mind at any time. But if we do attack, the Iranians are warning that they will retaliate by striking U.S. bases in the region… FM Abbas Araghchi asserted Tehran is not intimidated but that this raises “doubts about the other party’s seriousness and readiness to engage in genuine negotiations.” He added: “We are closely monitoring the situation, assessing all the signals, and will decide whether to continue the negotiations.” Prior to these weekend comments, the Iranian top diplomat stated, “If the United States launches an attack against us, we do not have the capability to attack its territory, so we would target American bases in the region. This would draw the entire region into war. We do not attack neighboring countries; we target American bases.” And the Iranians have also repeatedly warned that major Israeli cities would be primary targets. In fact, a huge sign in Tehran is showing specific cities inside Israel that would be targeted. The stage has been set for the sort of apocalyptic showdown that I have been specifically warning about. It appears that there will be no turning back now. If President Trump refuses to attack, the Israelis are going to do it anyway. And once an attack begins, the Iranians are promising to hit back extremely hard.
