Neal Dunn Received A Terminal Diagnosis Months Ago And Nobody In Congress Was Supposed To Know About It.1/2BY TROY SMITH

MARCH 16, 2026

Neal Dunn, the Republican congressman from Florida’s second district,had a terminal heart diagnosis earlier this year and was expected to be dead by June.

Then President Trump intervened, sending his own White House doctors to his side, and got Dunn into emergency surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center within hours.

Trump revealed all of this publicly on Monday at a White House event, apparently on the fly, while discussing the Republican Party’s razor-thin majority in the House.

He turned to House Speaker Mike Johnson, who was seated next to him, andbegan describing a congressman who had been “very ill” and “wasn’t going to make it.”

When Trump pressed Johnson to confirm whether he could name the person,Johnson identified the congressman as Dunn, and then noted, with visible surprise, “That wasn’t public.”

It wasn’t. Until now.

What Trump Revealed Today

Trump initially referred to an unnamed lawmaker who had been “very ill” before asking Johnson whether to disclose the congressman’s identity.

Johnson then identifiedDunn, saying he had faced “real health challenges” and “a pretty grim diagnosis,” but had continued coming to work and voting.

When Trump pressed for specifics, Johnson said“I think it was a terminal diagnosis,” before Trump added: “He would be dead by June.”

Trump’s comments came during a convening of the Trump-Kennedy Center Board at the White House.

From there,Trump described what happened next. Johnson saidTrump suggested getting his own White House doctors involved to help Dunn, and that “within hours” Dunn was in emergency surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Trump saidhis team gave the congressman “more stents, and more everything that you could have.”

Johnson’s account ofthe moment Dunn returned to Congress after the surgery is one for the books.

“The man has a new lease on life. He acts like he’s 30 years younger, and he walked into the conference meeting, and we thought we’d seen a ghost,” Johnson said. “I spoke with him over the weekend, and he’s encouraged and thankful, and he thanks the president for his leadership and intervention.”

Trump also shared what Dunn personally told him before the surgery. Dunn said to Trump: “Mike, I’m gonna last this out for the President and you, and however long I live — I mean, it looks like June is the time, but however long I live, I’m going to be voting for you.”

Trump called that remarkable. “I mean, how many people are going to say that?” he added.

As for his own motivations, Trump was characteristically candid. =“I did it for him first and for the vote second. But it was a close second, actually==,” he said

Who Is Neal Dunn?

Neal Dunn is a 73-year-old Florida Republican who announced his retirement in January 2026 and is not seeking reelection.

He represents Florida’s second congressional district, which covers the Panhandle region including Panama City. He is a physician by training, a urologist, who came to Congress in 2017 after a career in medicine.

The fact that a doctor-turned-congressman received a terminal heart diagnosis and then was saved by the president’s own medical team is its own kind of symmetry.

Speaker Johnson had already told Republican donors at a retreat in Florida in late February that Dunn “may have a terminal diagnosis,” though that disclosure was not intended to be public.

Dunn’s office had spent weeks pushing back against speculation about an early exit, with his communications director stating he would “remain in Congress to represent his constituents through the end of this term.”

What his office did not disclose, and what the public had no way of knowing, was just how serious the situation had actually been.

The Political Stakes Of Dunn’s Health Struggles

This story is not just personal. It is deeply political, and Trump made that explicit himself.

Republicans can currently afford to lose no more than two members on any party-line vote.

Johnson and Trump both discussedhow the speaker is working with one of the narrowest majorities in history.

Trump put it bluntly: “We had it up to four, and then we had a death. And the death is very bad when you have a majority of two or three.”

Republicans are likely to win an April 7 special election runoff for former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s seat, giving them one more vote.

But a special election to replace New JerseyGovernor Mikie Sherrill will take place April 16, leaving the GOP with that extra margin for only about a week.

In that context, every single vote matters.Dunn’s diagnosis was not just a personal crisis, it was a political one. The loss of a reliable Republican vote on any major piece of legislation, from budget reconciliationto the SAVE America Act, could have real consequences for the party’s agenda.

Trump, to his credit, appears to have acted on both fronts simultaneously: as a human being who didn’t want to lose someone he liked, and as a president who understood what that vote meant for his legislative program.

Dunn’s exact diagnosis and the full nature of his treatment have not been publicly disclosed.

His office has not yet responded publicly to Monday’s revelation.What is clear is that a sitting congressman who was weeks from death is now, by all accounts, doing well, walking into conference meetings, speaking with the Speaker on weekends,and voting.

Trump, for once, may have undersold himself. He said he did it for Dunn first and the vote second.Whatever the order, a man is alive who might not have been. That is the story.

The Media Is Already Guilt-Tripping Americans to Accept Iran War Refugees

They’ve Moved to Phase Two: Selling Americans on Iran War Refugees

We’re barely two weeks into the Iran War, and the American public is already being walked — quietly, deliberately — toward accepting refugees by the mainstream media.

This weekend, MS Now (formerly MSNBC) ran a segment about Afghan refugees stranded in Qatar. On the surface, it’s framed as a leftover tragedy from the Afghanistan withdrawal — people who “served alongside U.S. forces,”now stuck in limbo after refugee admissions were suspended.

But that’s not actually what the story is about…

The real focus is that these refugees are now “caught up in the Iran attacks” and trapped “as the region descends into chaos amid the Iran war.”

The segment opens where these always do, with maximum emotional pressure:

“He has a niece, he has nephews, and he has a little son, about three years old, and he wants to get them to safety.”

“They’re waking up every day in terror, seeing missile fragments, seeing missiles being intercepted overhead, and they are on a base, stuck.”

“This was a promise that was made to them… his service matters, and the promise that we gave him, we have to stick to it.”

Within seconds, the story stops being about one family — and starts becoming an argument about what the United States must do:

“This is a bipartisan problem…American credibility is on the line, and the world’s watching.”

“Our Afghan partners, we need to save them… If we don’t do whatever we can to bring them home…partners around the world, they won’t work with us.”

You are no longer being asked to care — you are being told that refusal is dangerous. That skepticism undermines national security. That borders are negotiable, but “credibility” is not.

And then,almost as an aside, comes the line that explains everything:

“…as the region descends into chaos amid the Iran war.”

These aren’t just Afghan evacuees anymore. They are being repositioned as the first visible victims of instability tied to the Iran war— a war that has barely even begun.

And instead of a real conversation about what that war could unleash — regionally, demographically, strategically — the groundwork is already being laid for what comes after.

Not because the facts demand it.

But because the narrative does.

The scale they’re not showing you changes the entire story.

The United Nations has already warned that as many as 3.2 million people are now displaced inside Iran — a number that’s only expected to climb as the conflict intensifies.But Iran isn’t just generating displacement, it’s absorbing and redirecting it.

The country already hosts well over a million Afghan refugees, many of whom are now being pushed back across the border, with nearly two million returns recorded in just the past year.

Israeli official says tip from Tehran residents helped enable Larijani strike

1 hour ago

"The assassination of Larijani was made possible thanks to valuable intelligence that Israeli intelligence servicesreceived from residents of Tehran over the past 24 hours," an Israeli official told Iran International.

"Inrecent days, Larijani had behaved arrogantly, appearing frequently in public(including at Quds Day rallies), engaging with bothlocal and international media, and thereby exposing himself to public view, which ultimately led to his identification," the official said.

The Israeli official added that the country's intelligence services continue to receive numerous reports that"precisely guide them to the locations of Basij and IRGC checkpoints, significantly aiding their efforts."

Mojtaba Khamenei escaped death by seconds, leaked audio reveals Exclusive: Iran’s new supreme leader survived strikes because he stepped outside for a walk in his garden

Iran’s new supreme leader survived US and Israeli air strikes becausehe stepped outside for a walk in his garden minutes before his home was hit by missiles.

Leaked audio obtained by The Telegraph revealsthat Mojtaba Khamenei was targeted in the same attack that killed his father and other members of the Islamic Republic’s leadership. But he had gone outside “to do something” moments before Israeli Blue Sparrow ballistic missiles hit his residence at 9.32am local time on Feb 28.

An address delivered by Mazaher Hosseini, head of protocol for Ali Khamenei’s office, to senior clerics and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commandersprovides the first detailed account of what happened inside the supreme leader’s compound when it came under fire.

A recording of his comments was leaked to The Telegraph and has been independently verified.

Mr Hosseini revealed that Mojtaba Khamenei suffered an injury to his leg in the strikes, while his wife and son were killed instantly and his brother-in-law was decapitated.

Listen to the leaked audio in full:

Mojtaba first came to public attention at the age of 17, when he disappeared for a week in March 1985 while serving on the front line of the Iraq-Iran war. At the time, his father had yet to ascend to the role of supreme leader.

Then, there was little to indicate that the lanky teenager – viewed by IRGC commanders as hapless in war – would someday lead the country.

Ali Fazli, a commander of the IRGC during the war, laterwrote in his memoir: “His martyrdom is not a problem, but if he is captured, it will be very costly for us in terms of publicity.”

Mojtaba was later rescued.

He spent two months in London in 1998, accompanied by 20 bodyguardsand a convicted serial killer, according to leaked interrogation recordings reviewed by The Telegraph.

Mojtaba Khamenei, his wife, Zahra Haddad-Adel, her mother and an entourage, including maids, rented an entire floor of the Sheraton Grand Hotel on Park Lane, at a reported cost of more than £1m, funded by the Iranian regime.

The visit was arranged so that his wife could receive fertility treatment. She subsequently gave birth to a son, Bagher. Both were killed in the Feb 28 strikes.

The group travelled with Saeed Emami, a senior intelligence operative linked to the murders of Iranian intellectuals and dissidentsbetween 1988 and 1998. Emami died in custody in 1999 in circumstances that remain disputed.

‘Your Legacy Is Already Being Destroyed’: Alex Jones Berates Trump Over Self-Inflicted ‘Wounds’

Jennifer Bowers Bahney

Mar 16th, 2026, 1:51 pm

Conspiracy theorist and InfoWars host Alex Jones berated President Donald Trump on Monday for “troubling” actions Jones said are destroying his presidential legacy.

Jones began his eight-minute video posted to X byderiding Trump for “coming to the defense of Mark Levin” in the Fox News host’s war of words with podcaster Megyn Kelly, saying it’s a symbol of a larger problem.

Jones said Trump’s defense “is extremely troubling,” arguing, “‘It’s these evil, terrible people who aren’t MAGA’ attacking him and that Trump’s coming to his aid. Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro,and others have been all over the conservative circuit, CPAC, their own shows, TPUSA, saying Tucker Carlsonis not MAGA, Alex Jones is not MAGA, other people that are supposed to be excommunicated.”

“But let’s get one thing straight here,” Jones said.“I was around a lot longer than Trump, politically, and I’ve never been MAGA — I’m 1776. I’ve supported the aims of Make America Great Again so far. Now all those definitions are changing.”

Jones continued:

But what Trump’s really doing here is attacking his critics. He wants to say, “Don’t attack me in the Iran war.” He wants to say, “Leave Mark Levin alone, he’s the litmus test.” He’s calling for censorship, all the rest of it on people like Tucker Carlson and myself, “or I will say you’re not part of my movement.” Well, Trump, you don’t have to worry about that, people are already very upset with you and already understand that your legacy is already being destroyed by you breaking your promise about this war, and a lot of the other things you’ve done, like no prosecutions of the deep state.

So, if you want to continue to self-inflict wounds on your own name and political dynasty, I’m sad about that, but, you know, that’s your life. You can do it. We’re going to stay true to our populist conservative nationalist Christian ideas that you rode in on and that we launched. I’ve been promoting these issues for 30-plus years. Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, and all your darlings were Never Trumpers and attacked you.

“So, just enjoy the political nursing home you’re in, the waiting room to the rest of eternity,” Jones concluded. “As for those of us who are still engaged, still informed — we’re gonna move forward with the America first agenda, and 1776, worldwide — that’s the facts.”

Jones shared the clip on social media with the caption, “If Trump is trying to commit political suicide, and hand the Congress over to the Democrats, he is doing an excellent job…”

Netherlands probes possible Iran link to Rotterdam synagogue attack

2 hours ago

The Netherlands is investigating whether Iran was involved in an attack on a synagogue in Rotterdam, Justice Minister David van Weel said on Tuesday.

“The possibility that Iran is involved in this attack is being explicitly investigated,”van Weel told parliament, adding there was no conclusive link at this stage.

Dutch prosecutors said four suspects aged 17 to 19 were arrested shortly after an arson attack caused a fire at the synagogue early on Friday, adding the act was carried out with terrorist intent.

Van Weel said the suspects had most likely been recruited.

The incident was one of several recent attacks in the Netherlands, including one targeting a Jewish school in Amsterdam, while a synagogue in Liege, Belgium, was also attacked.

The attacks caused no injuries but have led to increased security at Jewish sites.

Authorities are also examining whether the incidents are linked, while an extremist group has claimed responsibility on social media, though police have not confirmed its involvement.

==ROGUE JUDGE STRIKES AGAIN

Murphy's Latest Power Grab Threatens Kennedy's Lawful Health Reforms. 1/2==

DR. ROBERT W. MALONE

MAR 16,2026

For the second time in less than a year, U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy of Boston has inserted himself between the elected executive branch and its constitutional authority to govern, issuing a sweeping injunction Monday that blocks Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from implementing common-sense reforms to the nation’s childhood vaccine advisory structure.

The ruling, which freezes both a revised immunization schedule and Kennedy’s reconstitution of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, is the latest episode in a troubling pattern: a midnight Biden appointee wielding judicial power as a political weapon against a duly elected administration.

Judge Murphy’s record speaks for itself. In the spring of 2025, Murphy issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from deporting violent criminal aliens to third countries. Whenthe Supreme Court stayed that injunction by a vote of 6 to 3,Murphy simply declared that a separate remedial order he had issued was unaffected by the high court’s ruling and continued to block the deportations.

The Supreme Court was forced to rebuke him a second time, by a remarkable 7 to 2 margin, warning that further defiance would not be tolerated. Justice Elena Kagan, a liberal, joined that majority rebuke. Even the court’s most left-leaning members could not defend what Murphy had done.

Now the same judge has turned his sights on public health policy, an area squarely within the executive’s discretionary authority. Kennedy, exercising his statutory powers as HHS Secretary, took two reasonable and defensible actions.

First, he removed and replaced the members of ACIP, the advisory panel that shapes vaccine recommendations. Second, he oversaw a revision of the childhood immunization schedule, reducing the number of recommended vaccines from 17 to 11.Both actions were consistent with the administration’s mandate to scrutinize federal health policy with fresh eyes, and both reflect the kind of executive reorganization that every incoming administration undertakes as a matter of course.

Murphy found this process likely violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act and that bypassing ACIP when revising the schedule was arbitrary and capricious. But his legal reasoning deserves scrutiny.

The Secretary of HHS has broad authority to manage the department’s advisory infrastructure. FACA imposes procedural requirements on advisory committees, but those requirements have never been interpreted to strip a cabinet secretary of the power to reconstitute a panel whose membership had grown stale and whose recommendations had calcified into something approaching uncritical orthodoxy.

Murphy’s reading of the statute is, to put it charitably, aggressive, and his track record with aggressive readings of federal law has not been good. TheSupreme Court has already corrected him once for misreading immigration statutes. There is every reason to expect the appellate courts will do so again here.

The political timing of this ruling is impossible to ignore. Murphy was confirmed by the narrowest of margins, 47 to 45, in the final days of the Democratic Senate’s lame-duck sessionin December 2024, rushed through by Senator Chuck Schumer before Republicans took control.

>>24392761

2/2

Even Senator Susan Collins, the most moderate Republican in the chamber, voted against him.He has now issued consequential nationwide injunctions in two of the highest-profile policy battles of the second Trump administration: immigration enforcement and vaccine policy. Coincidence strains credulity.

The practical consequences of Monday’s ruling are serious. ACIP’s scheduled meeting this week to discuss COVID-19 vaccines has been canceled. The revised immunization schedule, which Kennedy’s team developed after a deliberate review process, is frozen.

The administration is once again forced to litigate basic questions of executive authority before a single district court judge in Boston who has demonstrated, more than once, that he is willing to push past the limits of his authority to achieve policy outcomes he prefers.

HHS has signaled it will appeal promptly, and it should. Given the Supreme Court’s prior willingness to intervene swiftly in Murphy’s rulings, an emergency application for a stay is entirely appropriate.

The justices have already shown they understand what is at stake when a lower court judge uses procedural pretexts to paralyze executive governance. The No Rogue Rulings Act, passed by the House, reflects a broader congressional consensus that the era of single district judges issuing sweeping nationwide injunctions to override federal policy must come to an end.

Kennedy’s reforms are not the work of a reckless ideologue.They represent a serious effort to apply rigorous scrutiny to vaccine recommendations that have gone largely unquestioned for decades, and to restore accountability to a committee whose membership had not been refreshed in years.

Whether one agrees with the underlying policy or not, the process by which a duly confirmed cabinet secretarymanages his department’s advisory infrastructure is not properly a matter for a Boston district court to veto. Judge Murphy should be reversed, and reversed quickly.
