"Khamenei and These Nazis": Trump Reposts Combative Speech Signaling Hardline Stance on Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump sparked intense speculation regarding his administration's next steps today after reposting a fiery speech by conservative commentator Mark Levin on his Truth Social account. The speech, which characterizes the Iranian leadership as "Islamic Nazis," argues that a diplomatic deal with the current regime is impossible...
 +
Political analysts note that Trump’s decision to amplify this specific message, which explicitly states, "This regime must be eliminated to save our children", suggests his administration may be leaning toward a more aggressive "maximum pressure" campaign or direct military intervention rather than seeking a renewed nuclear pact...

Mike Huckabee Dedicates Elvis Song to Tucker Carlson | WATCH.
 +
 +
Hound Dog Howl in Jerusalem: Mike Huckabee & David Friedman Turn Tucker Carlson Into the Ultimate Elvis Roast -  “Cryin’ All the Time!”
 +
Jfeed Staff. Feb 24, 2026 .
 +
 +
Tucker Carlson wanted a fight. He got a concert.
 +
Fresh off a prickly airport showdown where he tried to lecture America’s Ambassador to Israel about Christians, Qatar, and biblical borders, Mike Huckabee didn’t fire back with a press release. He grabbed a guitar.
 +
 +
Monday night at the David Citadel Hotel, Huckabee and former Ambassador David Friedman took the stage for an impromptu gig in front of a packed room of American visitors. First number? A dead-on parody of Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog,” dedicated straight to Tucker.“You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog, cryin’ all the time…” And enjoy we did.
 +
 +
This wasn’t random karaoke. It was surgical. Just days after Carlson tried (and spectacularly failed) to paint Israel as the villain in his two-hour airport interview, whining about Christian treatment, floating Qatar as the real holy land for believers, and acting shocked when Huckabee pointed out the actual facts, the ambassadors answered with music.
 +
 +
Carlson showed up on private jet, stayed airside, and spent the whole sit-down pushing narratives that sounded suspiciously like they were written in Doha.
 +
 +
Huckabee, never one to suffer fools, clapped back hard: Israel actually has thriving Christian communities with rights, representation, and zero fear of being jailed for owning a Bible. Qatar? Not so much.
 +
 +
So instead of another cable-news screamfest, Huckabee and Friedman did what legends do: they sang about it. Strumming away, grinning ear-to-ear, turning Carlson’s entire schtick into a punchline set to the King’s beat.
 +
 +
The room lost it. The internet lost it harder. Within hours the clip was everywhere — pro-Israel accounts cackling, Carlson fans suddenly very quiet (probably cryin’ all the time), and even neutral observers admitting: yeah, that was cold. Because here’s the thing: while Tucker was busy playing victim on his show, these two American ambassadors were in Jerusalem actually having fun, defending the Jewish state, and reminding everyone that real pushback doesn’t need 47 minutes of monologuing. Sometimes it just needs six chords and a killer hook.
 +
 +
Elvis left the building in 1977.
 +
Last night, his spirit showed up in a blue blazer, a red bass, and zero tolerance for nonsense.
 +
Mic drop? Nah. Guitar drop.
 +
And Tucker just got the encore he never asked for. Cryin’ all the time, indeed.

Piers messes up (again).
 +
Piers Morgan's Antisemitism Burns Bright
 +
Piers Morgan’s Epic Own-Goal: “Who Cares About Jewish Heritage?” – Except When It’s Muslim “Firsts,” Then It’s Front-Page Hero Worship.
 +
 +
Jfeed Staff. Feb 24, 2026.
 +
 +
Team USA just delivered pure hockey magic: a 2-1 overtime thriller against Canada, Jack Hughes ripping the golden goal at 1:41, big brother Quinn sliding the perfect assist on the first tally. First men’s hockey gold since the Miracle on Ice. Red, white, and blue bedlam on the ice.
 +
The backlash hit harder than a high stick. Critics called out the blatant double standard. Defenders tried the “we’re all just Americans” card.
 +
 +
Fans, the USA and even President Trump) lost their minds and yes, they pointed out the feel-good bonus: the Hughes brothers are proud Jewish Americans. Mom Ellen Weinberg-Hughes (ex-U.S. women’s hockey legend) raised them with Passover seders, bar mitzvahs, the whole warm, gefilte-fish-filled deal. Noa Tishby nailed it in her viral clip: “Jewish hockey player Jack Hughes scores the game-winning goal to win Olympic gold for Team USA ”
 +
 +
Enter Piers Morgan, sliding into the replies like a Zamboni with a flat tire:“*American hockey player. Who cares what religion he adheres to?”
 +
 +
Oh Piers. The selective blindness is Olympic-level.This is the same guy who’s practically thrown parades for every Muslim milestone under the sun, Moeen Ali becoming the first Muslim to score a Test century for England, Sadiq Khan as Britain’s first Muslim mayor, gushing like it was the Second Coming of identity politics. “Historic!” “Proud moment!” “Representation matters!”
 +
 +
But a Jewish kid from New Jersey dropping the OT dagger for America? Suddenly it’s “irrelevant ethnicity” and “who cares?”
 +

The backlash hit harder than a high stick. Critics called out the blatant double standard. Defenders tried the “we’re all just Americans” card.
 +
 +
Meanwhile the timeline was roasting Piers so hard his mentions needed a burn unit.
 +
 +
Jack Hughes, who played the whole tournament missing two front teeth and still smiled like a kid on Christmas, kept it pure gold:
 +
 +
“This is all about our country right now. I love the USA.”No lectures. No victim Olympics. Just a champion doing champion things.
 +
 +
Piers, buddy… you can’t cheer every “first” that fits your narrative and then play color-blind referee the second Jewish excellence shows up. That’s not consistency, that’s convenience with extra hypocrisy sprinkles.
 +
 +
America got the gold. And Piers was finally unmasked as the antisemite he truly is.

Former defense officials offer differing assessments of U.S.-backed recruitment drive.

(Feb. 24, 2026 / JNS)
 +
The announcement that the recently formed American-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) has launched a police recruitment drive has raised concerns about the makeup of the future policing force.
 +
 +
The NCAG recently said on X that it began recruiting Palestinians, while its website states applicants must be Gazan residents aged 18 to 35 with no criminal record.
 +
 +
According to a Reuters report, some 2,000 Palestinians signed up within hours after applications opened. The figures were presented last week at a Board of Peace summit in Washington, D.C., by Trump-appointed Gaza envoy, Bulgarian diplomat Nikolay Mladenov.
