Chief Justice John Roberts Says 'Hostility Is Dangerous And It's Got To Stop' After Trump Attacks

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts said President Donald Trump's "hostility is dangerous" after the president raged over the Supreme Court's February tariff ruling against him.

"Personally directed hostility is dangerous and it’s got to stop," Roberts said during an appearance at Rice University in Houston on Tuesday.

Though he didn't mention Trump by name, the message seemed clear. On Sunday, Trump lashed out at the Supreme Court for their 6-3 ruling against him.

“The Court knew where I stood, how badly I wanted this Victory for our Country, and instead decided to, potentially, give away Trillions of Dollars to Countries and Companies who have been taking advantage of the United States for decades,” he wrote in a Truth Social post.

Markwayne Mullins while testifying before congress today said that anyone claiming he has anger issues will be kicked directly in the face.

He then took issue with Sen Rand Paul’s characterization of him as someone who advocates political violence, stating, “Say that again, Four Eyes, and I’ll step on your stupid wire-rimmed goggles and make you eat the glass.”

I'm pretending it still exists.

I could not stay awake.

Went to sleep top of 8th down 2-0.

So Harper ties it and then Venezuela won it.

Bummer. But they earned it. Went through the best teams to win it all.

Congratulations to them. Lots going on in their country. They are passionate about the game so I am happy for them.

The Major Leagues schedule is soon to start and all will be well.

I have never bought into the idea of developing receivers. If they can't catch by the time they are 22, it isn't going to happen. You learn that when you are 10 years old.

You might be able to get them better at running routes, but I find it hard to believe that their coach in the past didn't want them to tighten up their routes. They just didn't.

You are a silly person. The Constitution is only as good as the people that want to follow it, and that is not how Trump plays.

It's been entertaining. Better than watching Spring Training.

Half of my excitement for the draft is pinned to the hope we finagle another 1st next year someway or other. Truth is, we're not getting a viable QB any other way and we're likely, in my mind anyway, going to be a bit better next year than last year. If for no other reason than our schedule is softer, 2 of our division rivals will also have new coaches and the OL will at least be serviceable. Meaning, middle of the 1st round and out of the running for the top of the QB-palooza that is supposedly going to be next year's draft. I know you can't predict anything really and anything can happen but I feel very confident in 2 things..1. Franchise ain't on the roster, 2. we ain't getting him thru FA or trade. So I hope they keep eyes on the prize rather than just hope for the best. Do what ya gotta do.

Giving up a boatload for an aging receiver is not a wise move IMO.

Lot of talent in college at receiver.

If you have good scouts. IMO you are better off drafting receivers.

Let's try something novel. Draft a couple of WR's and actually develop them into viable NFL players!

Yup.

The Dolphins got quite a haul for Waddle. That will make any trade the Browns try to make to acquire a Wide Receiver much harder to get done.

Teller to the Texans.

If your moving your 4-time gold glover from LF to CF, why is he still getting reps in LF??? Wouldn’t you want him to get all the reps in CF when he plays? I sure hope they don’t move him day to day, one day in CF then back to LF then back to CF.

LF: George Valera
CF: Steven Kwan
RF: Chase Delauter

Thats the everyday OF. If you gotta play Angel Martinez in the OF, he’s gotta play LF or RF. Kwan should never be moved.

Trump Says 'WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!' In Iran War After NATO Rebuff

President Donald Trump said he doesn't need the help of allied nations in the war he started against Iran, just days after begging for help.

"The United States has been informed by most of our NATO 'Allies' that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon," Trump posted on Truth Social Tuesday.

On Saturday, Trump bragged about a "decapitated" Iran military while also asking nations for help in taking back the Strait of Hormuz.

"Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated," Trump posted on Truth Social.

And in another post later that day, Trump again made a plea for other nations to help the U.S. and Israel, promising everything will go "smoothly, and well."

"The U.S. will also coordinate with those Countries so that everything goes quickly, smoothly, and well," he wrote. "This should have always been a team effort, and now it will be — It will bring the World together toward Harmony, Security, and Everlasting Peace!"

On Monday, Trump got his answer: Other countries aren't coming to help.

“They should be in here very happily helping us,” Trump told reporters Monday. "They should be jumping to help us because we’ve helped them for years."

Trump's newest childlike strategy is to act like the U.S. has never needed help to begin with.

"Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID!" Trump raged in his Tuesday post. "Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!"

"I want your help"

"I don't want or need your help!"

Oh what a difference a day makes. When they wouldn't help bail him out of his self inflicted mess he changed his story. The trumpian version of foreign policy.

He said he talked to a previous president-they said they didn’t

He said he talked to other countries about sending help for the Straight of Hormuz and they are sending help-they said they are not getting involved.

He called one of the other countries over the weekend and asked if they could send a minesweeper or two. Where are ours, you might ask-Well, all 4 were moved out of the Middle East and sent back to the US. The other country also said no-they aren’t sending any sweepers.

Trump said Iran is calling wilkoff and ready to talk. Iran said they have not called.

National Counterterrorism Center director resigns over war in Iran

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent announced Tuesday that he would be resigning from his position due to the war in Iran.

“After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today,” Kent wrote on X.

He said that the U.S. only got into the war in Iran due to massive pressure from Israel and its American lobby.



“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran,” Kent wrote on X. “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

He concluded by saying it was an honor to serve under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and President Donald Trump.

“May God bless America,” his post concluded.

He also posted a picture of his resignation to Trump letter that said Israeli officials deployed a misinformation campaign to undermine the president's America First platform.

“This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that you should strike now, there was a clear path to victory,” the letter reads. “That was a lie and the same tactic that the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of men and women.”

Prior to becoming the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Kent ran for office in Washington state twice in 2022 and 2024.

He is a retired Green Beret and also a Gold Star husband. His first wife Shannon Kent was killed in a suicide bombing in Syria in January 2019.

The honor of "taking Cuba"?

Hold on there big boy. One war at a time please. We know you think as king you can do whatever you want but according to the constitution that's not how any of this is supposed to work.

Trump said he spoke to a former president about bombing Iran. Four denials suggest otherwise.

Trump said twice Monday that he spoke to one of his predecessors about the Iran war and that the former president said he wished he had taken the action Trump did.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told reporters Monday that one of his predecessors told him he wished he had been the one to bomb Iran.

It appears he did not speak to any of the four former presidents.

An aide for George W. Bush told NBC News that “they haven’t been in touch,” while an aide to Bill Clinton told NBC News that whoever Trump was referring to was not Clinton.

An Obama aide said “no recent conversations” have taken place between Barack Obama and Trump, and a source familiar with the matter said the former president Trump was referring to was not Joe Biden.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the denials Monday night.

Earlier in the day, Trump claimed twice to have spoken to a former president about Iran.

“I’ve spoken to a certain president — who I like, actually. A past president, former president, he said: ‘I wish I did it. I wish I did.’ But they didn’t do it. I’m doing it. Yeah?” Trump said at a lunch for Kennedy Center board members.

Later in the day, Trump repeated the claim in the Oval Office, saying: “I spoke to one of the former presidents who I actually like.”

“I actually speak to some,” Trump said. “And he said, ‘I wish I did what you did.’”

Asked by a reporter to elaborate on which president he was speaking to, Trump did not specify. He said it wasn’t Bush and then said “I don’t want to say” when he was asked it was Clinton.

“I don’t want to say because a member of a party, a member of a party, they have Trump derangement syndrome, but it’s somebody that happens to like me, and I like that person, who’s a smart person, but that person said, ‘I wish I did it.’ OK, but I don’t want to get into who. I don’t want to get him into trouble,” Trump said.

“You know, it’s interesting. And maybe he’d be proud,” Trump said about the former president. “And I could even ask him that: ‘Would you like me to reveal your name?’”

Trump Threatens Treason Charges for Reporters Covering Iran War

Donald Trump is accusing media outlets of committing treason over their Iran war coverage.

On Truth Social Sunday, Trump made a long-winded post accusing Iran of using AI to create fake videos of attacks on U.S. ships and American publications of “false reporting,” calling out The Wall Street Journal by name. In one instance, he cited a fake video of the USS Abraham Lincoln “burning uncontrollably in the ocean.”

“Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at—Iran knows better than to do that! The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!” Trump ranted. “The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they ‘win’ are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets. The Radical Leftwing Press knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES.”

Trump went on to praise Federal Communications Commission chief Brendan Carr for threatening “the licenses of some of these Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic ‘News’ Organizations.” Carr on Saturday threatened to revoke the broadcasting licenses of local outlets that he determined to be sharing “fake” news.

The president has long attacked media outlets for even the slightest bit of critical coverage against him, but the weaponization of the FCC in his second term adds cause for concern with this post. Under Carr’s tenure, the FCC has attacked multiple TV networks, including NBC, ABC, and CBS, citing various excuses, including DEI and new interpretations of existing statutes.

Trump officials, such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, are also lashing out at the media, openly gloating as right-wing ownership gets closer to running CNN. As Trump’s war with Iran continues to go poorly, he will continue to lash out at anyone who points out the obvious. Will this come with an attempt to censor the press?

The WBC has been way cool.

Ya gotta love the atmosphere. The players are really into it. Lots of emotion.

Damn good baseball with a plethora of talent.

Tonight's the night: USA vs Venezuela.

I will be locked in.

If it was a democrat, he'd have laughed and started plotting to get a Republican to replace him.

AI:

Rasheed Walker's one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, worth up to $10 million (far below the $25 million per season some expected), stems from several performance and market factors.

Performance Weaknesses
His elite pass blocking (top-15 in pass block win rate over three years) couldn't offset consistently poor run blocking grades from PFF (44th, 41st, and 53rd overall among tackles recently). This middling overall profile as a former seventh-round pick deterred big offers despite a thin tackle market.

Short-Term Strategy
Walker signed a prove-it contract to bet on himself at age 25, aiming for a larger payday in 2027 free agency after replacing injured Ikem Ekwonu. It's a low-risk move for Carolina needing immediate stability without long-term commitment.

Market Dynamics
Despite hype as a top available tackle, no bidding war emerged, possibly due to Packers fans' frustration and his unsigned status earlier in free agency. The Panthers capitalized on this for a bargain stopgap.
