WATCH: Chuck Schumer's cameo in the White House's new video will shock you



One of the White House's most recent social media posts has gained outsized attention — but likely not for the reasons the administration hoped for.

On Sunday night, the White House X account posted a spoof video with major themes of the administration in the style of "Rick and Morty," a popular sci-fi cartoon for adults.

'Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.'

Captioned "Hop in ... best dimension yet," the video covers a broad sweep of increasingly fantastic scenes.

Reminiscent of the far-out opening credits of "Rick and Morty," the White House's version features some hallmark symbols of the MAGA movement, including but not limited to a MAGA hat, a Diet Coke can, and a floating "1+1+1=3 wins," an apparent reference to the past three presidential "wins" of the Trump administration.

The cartoon video shows a number of different scenes, including President Trump and Vice President JD Vance running along the White House colonnade and Trump waving from a balcony of the White House.

Then, the scenes get more bizarre.

The next scene shows an immigration agent with "Homan" on his name tag handcuffing a winged demon.

Before the final scene, there is a cut of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) speaking at a podium, surrounded by green portals to other dimensions. Schumer then removes his face to reveal that he is a robot underneath a mask.

Trump and Vance can then be seen flying through the air in a spaceship being chased by a large dragon with red, laser eyes. The scene cuts to black with a lightning strike, which then forms the word "MAGA" in red lettering.

The 36-second video, which is approaching nine million views on X but has gained only a little over 40,000 likes, clearly touched a nerve.

While some commenters were pleased with or were pleasantly surprised by the White House leaning into the referential crossovers with popular culture, others were not so impressed.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) drew a sharp contrast between the fantasy of the video and the increasing costs burdening real families across the country: "People can’t afford gas, groceries, rent, and healthcare and this is the weird embarrassing crap the official White House account is putting out."

Others questioned if there is an actual audience for this type of content from official government accounts. Scott Greer, for example, simply asked, "Who is the audience for this?"

Another account pointed out that this type of content could potentially be flooding out valuable content from other accounts online: "Babe wake up the White house is posting coal again."

Despite some of the negative online comments, White House officials have seemingly held their ground. Kaelen Dorr, the head of digital strategy for the White House, referenced a line from "Rick and Morty" as a comeback: "Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer."

‘The View’s’ Marjorie Taylor Greene Interview Goes Off the Rails Quick

One line from Tucker Carlson sparks political firestorm for the GOP



Reactions have come pouring in from defenders and detractors alike after Tucker Carlson made a shocking pronouncement that may well serve as a bellwether for the future of the Republican Party.

On a recent podcast appearance, Carlson, who has been vocal about his misgivings about the current direction of the GOP, drew a hard line in the sand when asked about his ongoing support for the Republicans.

'And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out.'

Asked about the war in Iran, which became a wedge issue among Republicans long before the end of February, Carlson argued that supporting the current conduct of the Trump administration has become untenable because Israel's undue influence: "How could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States? That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?"

"I voted Republican my entire life. I worked at Fox News, CNN, MSNBC. I've been a consistent defender ... of the Republican Party — I mean, very consistent defender," Carlson explained. "But there's no defending this because it's immoral, and it's exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation. And they're not doing that. So no, I'm out."

"And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out," he added.

Some leaders attacked Carlson's statements, accusing him of hating America. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), for example, wrote: "This has been obvious for some time. @TuckerCarlson HATES: Trump[,] Republicans[,] Israel[,] Christian Zionists[,] YOU[.] Tucker loves: Qatar[,] The Ayatollah[,] Antisemite crackpots[,] Shirtless Putin[,] Sharia law."

It isn't clear how Carlson's disagreements with the conduct of the Republican Party make him a lover of "Shirtless Putin."

However, Carlson's message seemed to resonate with others.

"Sadly the GOP will lose hundreds of thousands of voters in the mid-term election because of the total betrayals that have occurred[.] Turn out will drop significantly[.] @TuckerCarlson aligned voters like myself & millions of others are disappointed by the America Last foreign policy & massive amounts of foreign 'legal' labor coming in still," Lake County Commissioner Anthony Sabatini wrote.

Marjorie Taylor Greene joined the fray, adding that millions of people like Tucker Carlson are tired of the "America LAST" politics in the party today:

Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party. There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country. That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either. But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party.

Michael Knowles, on the other hand, made an attempt to get people to look past the "infighting": "I'm just pointing out: while the Right does all this infighting, the Left is waiting for the Right to destroy itself so they can bring back transing kids, racial politics, government suppression."

"I am imploring the American Right: please keep some perspective," Knowles added.

Vance Takes Center Stage In White House Push To Protect GOP Majority

VP Takes Center Stage In White House Push To Protect GOP Majority

JD Vance shuts down the ladies of ‘The View’ with simple facts



JD Vance proved once again that unlike the left, the right is not afraid to step into the lion’s den when he sat down with the panel of "The View" — who of course took the opportunity to claim President Trump was in cahoots with Jeffrey Epstein.

“They were best friends for about a decade,” host Ana Navarro claimed.

“And remember he signed that Transparency Act under duress when some Republican women, congresswomen like Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, did not give in to his pressure of not signing. He brought Lauren Boebert into the Situation Room to pressure her into caving on not voting for that bill,” she continued.

“Let me respond to that,” Vance replied. “So number one is yes, Donald Trump — he said this — he knew Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1980s. He also threw Jeffrey Epstein out of his club when he found out he was a creep and reported him to the police.”


“That’s something that the media often misses when it reports the story. They tell the fact that they knew each other in the '80s, which the president himself admits. They ignore the fact that he narced on him to the police and led ultimately to Jeffrey Epstein’s downfall," he calmly explained.

“It all tracks if you’re paying attention,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“‘They were best friends for a time period,’” she mocks, before pulling up a photo of Epstein and Bill Clinton posing together.

“They look thick as thieves here. Oh, oops. That’s the wrong best friend,” she jokes.

“They always forget that relationship,” she adds.

Gonzales also points out that Whoopi Goldberg was silent throughout the exchange.

“Whoopi didn’t have anything to say there, I guess, because remember she was in the Epstein files. She wanted to borrow Jeffrey Epstein’s jet for personal reasons. She needed a plane to get to Monaco,” Gonzales says.

However, while Whoopi was silent, Ana Navarro wasn’t giving up.

“Let’s just be truthful and transparent here,” she argued. “They didn’t just know each other; they were incredibly close friends.”

“He reported him to the police,” Vance responded. “That’s what I’m saying. That is objectively true.”

“‘They didn’t just know each other,’” Gonzales mocks again, joking that they were “to the level” where Trump could ask Epstein to “borrow his private plane.”

“Oh, wait. That’s your co-host sitting next to you,” she adds.

IDF soldier caught smashing Jesus statue with sledgehammer — officials and critics react



A photograph began circulating on social media over the weekend that has many people both angry and confused while others question whether it is a real photo.

And the answers that later emerged did nothing to quell the outrage.

'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.'

The photo, posted by Palestinian journalist Younis Tirawi on Saturday, depicts a uniformed Israel Defense Forces soldier smashing the head of a statue of Jesus Christ with a hammer.

The journalist noted that the photo was taken during operations in Southern Lebanon, which have persisted despite the United States' attempts to reach a ceasefire agreement with Iran.

Tirawi made a follow-up post suggesting that the statue was in Debel, one of several predominantly Christian border villages in Southern Lebanon.

The post brought attention to a Facebook post associated with the town with a photo of the intact statue of Jesus. The caption of the post is Luke 23:34, which reads, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

The IDF confirmed that the photo of "an IDF soldier harming a Christian symbol" was indeed of "an IDF soldier operating in southern Lebanon."

It confirmed the authenticity of the photo, adding that the incident is viewed with "great severity" and that "appropriate measures will be taken against those involved in accordance with the findings."

The post added that the IDF is "operating to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure established by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and has no intention of harming civilian infrastructure, including religious buildings or religious symbols."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the rest of the "Jewish state," intimated that he was "stunned and saddened to learn that an IDF soldier damaged a Catholic religious icon in southern Lebanon."

Netanyahu promised that the offender would face "appropriately harsh disciplinary action" and concluded:

While Christians are being slaughtered in Syria and Lebanon by Muslims, the Christian population in Israel thrives unlike elsewhere in the Middle East. Israel is the only country in the region that the Christian population and standard of living is growing. Israel is the only place in the Middle East that adheres to freedom of worship for all. We express regret for the incident and for any hurt this has caused to believers in Lebanon and around the world.

Critics, however, were not so convinced.

Glenn Greenwald mocked anyone who would defend this horrific action: "Christian Zionists: This Israeli soldier was absolutely justified in smashing the head of the Jesus Christ statue because Hezbollah and Hamas were hiding inside. We owe him our gratitude."

"Horrific," Matt Gaetz said.

Ana Kasparian attacked the IDF and its post, saying that she didn't believe a word the IDF said: "This is just another example of Israel's hatred and disregard for other cultures and faiths. No one trusts your phony investigations, especially when IDF soldiers get away with rape and murder every single day."

Marjorie Taylor Greene joined the fray, quipping, “'Our greatest ally' that takes billions of our tax dollars and weapons every year."

Israel has justified its incursions into Lebanon on the basis of rooting out Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy in the country.

Conservatives Blast Trump For Christ-Like Image, Losing His Mind Over Pope

'God shall not be mocked'

Will the Iran war tip the scales in the race to replace MTG?



The special election to replace former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia could have a lot more to do with foreign policy than candidates initially anticipated.

Greene's falling out with President Donald Trump marked a major fracture within the GOP, prompting a special election to fill her seat on Tuesday. Apart from the typical party distinctions, foreign policy could be the deciding factor between the Democrat and Republican nominees vying to represent Georgia's 14th congressional district.

'He has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.'

Democratic nominee Shawn Harris has taken a harsh stance against the ongoing war in Iran, which has become increasingly unpopular with voters, while Republican nominee Clay Fuller has remained a supporter of the conflict.

The horseshoe theory about the political spectrum seems to be in full swing as Greene's increasingly critical remarks about the war and the Trump administration more broadly seem to echo Harris' positions far more than Fuller's.

Days before the special election, Greene doubled down on her criticism of the war, condemning Trump's Easter ultimatum to Iran.

"Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness," Greene said in a response to Trump's post threatening to attack civilian infrastructure like power plants and bridges. "I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit."

"Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing," Greene added. "On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies."

Greene has refrained from endorsing either candidate, although Fuller has secured support from Trump. While an endorsement from Trump would typically all but guarantee the candidate's success, especially in a rural, red district in Georgia, Harris narrowly outperformed his Republican challenger in March.

In a crowded 17-candidate race, Harris brought in 37% while Fuller finished with 35%. The candidates' respective numbers were likely affected by the many candidates who no longer qualify for Tuesday's election. It should also be noted that a Trump-endorsed Greene beat Harris by nearly 30% back in 2024.

Battle over MTG's former seat goes unresolved on election night — but Trump-backed Republican tastes victory



Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) called it quits and left office on Jan. 5, leaving Georgia's 14th congressional district up for grabs.

Shawn Harris — a Democratic retired brigadier general who was previously defeated by Greene in a landslide — attempted to take the seat in Tuesday's free-for-all special election. He was, however, thwarted by Clay Fuller, a hard-nosed Republican who served in the Air National Guard and left his role as district attorney to run for Congress.

'TOO BIG TO RIG.'

With over 95% of the votes in as of Wednesday morning, Fuller — whom President Donald Trump characterized as an "America First Patriot" in his endorsement last month — had secured 34.9% of the total vote, reported the Associated Press.

Trump's pick handily outperformed over 10 other Republican contenders, including former Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore, who identified himself on the campaign as "Trump's #1 Defender for Georgia's 14th Congressional District." Moore received 11.6% of the vote.

The other Republican candidates couldn't crack 5%.

Harris, alternatively, managed to secure 37.3% of the vote.

As neither Harris nor Fuller reached the necessary 50% plus one vote to take the district outright, they are headed to a head-to-head runoff election on April 7 where Trump's pick won't have to compete with fellow Republicans.

Fuller told reporters at his election night watch party, "I would describe this as an outright win."

"We know that the endorsement from President Trump made a difference in this race, and we're going to go and win it," continued the candidate. "I think it's time that the Republican vote unites and gets a representative to Capitol Hill as soon as possible."

Trump noted just before midnight, "Congratulations to Clay Fuller, of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, on getting such a high percentage of the vote with 12 Republicans running. We want to make the next vote 'TOO BIG TO RIG.' Clay will be a GREAT Congressman — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!"

Notwithstanding his opponent's performance in a crowded Republican field, Harris claimed, "This race isn't over."

"Momentum is real. The coalition is growing," continued Harris. "Let’s finish what we started."
