I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs.They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did! They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some “free” and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some “clicks” because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody’s talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA — Or I wouldn’t have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE. MAGA agrees with me, and just gave CNN a 100% Approval Rating of “TRUMP,” not Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn’t even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he’s never been the same — Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist! Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, “Only Rosie O’Donnell,” question, or “Crazy” Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it’s not even close! Or Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called “pundits” are LOSERS, and they always will be! Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left “News” Organizations, are “hailing” them, and giving them “positive” press for the first time in their lives. They’re not “MAGA,” they’re losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA. As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don’t return their calls because I’m too busy on World and Country Affairs and, after a few times, they go “nasty,” just like Marjorie “Traitor” Brown, but I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country. MAGA is about WINNING and STRENGTH in not allowing Iran to have Nuclear Weapons. MAGA is about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO, because THE UNITED STATES IS NOW THE “HOTTEST” COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Netanyahu doubles down on refusing ceasefire in Lebanon
Alicia Victoria Lozano
Netanyahu reiterated in a video address thatIsrael does not consider Lebanon part of the ceasefire with Iran. He also said theLebanese government had made "repeated requests" to start "peace negotiations."
Netanyahu said, he instructed his Cabinet last night to begin direct negotiations with Lebanon with the aim of achieving two goals: disarming Hezbollah and creating a lasting peace between Lebanon and Israel.
"We continue to strike Hezbollah with force, and we will not stop until we restore your security," he said in the video address, adding: "Israel is stronger than ever. Iran is weaker than ever."

Mojtaba Khamenei vows revenge, signals Hormuz shift, warns Arab neighbors
4 hours ago (The dead leader is giving mandates)
A long message attributed to Iran’sSupreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowed to “not let go” of attackers, seek compensation and “avenge” the dead, warned it would take Hormuz Strait “to a new phase,” and urged Arab neighbors to “stand in the right place” and turn away from Western powers.
“Everyone must know that, God willing, we will certainly not let go of the criminal aggressors who attacked our country. We will definitely seek compensation for every damage inflicted, as well as blood money for the martyrs and compensation for the wounded of this war," said the message marking the 40th day after Ali Khamenei’s death.
“The nation… will keep alive in its heart a firm determination to avenge the blood of [the leader] and all those killed in the imposed wars.”
Addressing the Islamic Republic's supporters, Khamenei said, “It should not be assumed that announcing an intention to negotiate with the enemy means there is no need for a presence in the streets."
"On the contrary, even if, hypothetically, a period of silence on the military battlefield becomes necessary, the duty of all people who can be present in squares, neighborhoods, and mosques appears heavier than before. Your chants in the streets are effective in shaping the outcome of negotiations.”

The message did not elaborate on details of the new phase.
“In these 2 days of the period of silence in military conflict, both the enemy and allies have come to clearly understand through experience that the management of the Strait of Hormuz has entered a new phase, God willing, and praise be to God," the post read.

Iran's parliament speaker says 'time is running out,' an apparent reference to ceasefire
Babak Dehghanpisheh
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said today on X that "time is running out," an apparent reference to what he sees as violations of the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran.
Ghalibaf, who is now a key figure in Iran's power structure and may lead negotiations with the U.S., noted three additional points.
He said Lebanon and Iran's regional proxies, which he called "the entire Resistance Axis," are "an inseparable part of the ceasefire."
He noted that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had "clearly stressed the Lebanon issue" and added that "there is no room for denial and backtracking."
And Ghalibaf ended his post with a warning.
"Ceasefire violations carry explicit costs and STRONG responses," he wrote. "Extinguish the fire immediately."

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Released Millions to Planned Parenthood—Here’s How He Can Defund It Forever(1/2)
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Trump administration has a plan to block Planned Parenthood from receiving federal family planning funding, sources familiar with the matter tell The Daily Signal.
The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it was extending Biden-era family planning grant awards to Planned Parenthood, sparking criticism from pro-lifers.
However, theWhite House has another option to cut the abortion giant’s cash flow.
The Department of Health and Human Services isdeveloping a restored “Protect Life Rule,” an HHS official confirmed to The Daily Signal. The rule prohibits Title X family planning funds from going to organizations that perform abortions.
“The Title X Notice of Proposed Rulemaking has been noticed on the Unified Agenda and remains on it,” HHS spokeswoman Emily Hilliard told The Daily Signal.“HHS continues to develop a draft proposed rule.”
Once in effect, the rule would likely cause Planned Parenthood to turn down the funds to continue performing abortions. In 2020, Planned Parenthood announced it would drop out of the Title X program and forgo nearly $60 million rather than comply with the rule.
The Protect Life Rule, promulgated during the president’s first term and rescinded by the Biden administration, provides that a counselor in a Title X-funded project could “neither refer for, nor encourage, abortion.”
The “language is written, has been seen by relevant eyes, and should be a slam dunk considering they did it around this time in the first administration,” Tom McClusky, director of government affairs at CatholicVote, told The Daily Signal.
The rule would force Planned Parenthood to forgo Title X grants, according to Jamie Dangers, director of government affairs at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.
“The Protect Life Rule would basically give Planned Parenthood and other Title X grantees a choice to either separate from abortion and stay eligible for Title X grants or choose abortion and disqualify themselves from the grants—that happened in the first term,” Dangers told The Daily Signal.
Planned Parenthood shouldn’t be allowed to use federal funds for abortion, said Jennie Bradley Lichter, March for Life president and former deputy director of the White House Domestic Policy Council.
“This is a ‘rule of law’ matter—holding your grantees accountable for complying with what should be clearly stated in their grant terms,” she told The Daily Signal.
Many pro-lifers have decried the White House’s decision to allow Title X funds to go to Planned Parenthood as a “betrayal.”
However, the White House faced “significant legal challenges” in stopping funds from going to Planned Parenthood, spokesman Kush Desai told media outlets. Desai said the administration issued its “fifth and final year of Title X grants that were locked in place during the Biden presidency.”

Other pro-lifers say the current administration seems to operate out of a similar playbook for defunding abortion as that of the first administration.
“They’re still on track to do a similar policy as they did the first time, a year and a half into their administration,” one pro-life operative said.
The first Trump administration continued giving Obama-era grants to abortion clinics through 2017. In 2018, it issued a short bridge awarduntil 2019, similar to the one-year funding extension awarded to Planned Parenthood on Tuesday. In May 2018, the administration issued the Protect Life Rule.
To stay on the same timeline, the administration needs to take action on the rule by June, the operative said.
Some pro-lifers told The Daily Signal they were frustrated that the rule and the grant extensions for Planned Parenthood were not announced on the same day.
“We wish that the Trump administration had introduced the Protect Life Rule before extending the Title X grants, but they have the opportunity to introduce it now,” Americans United for Life’s Gavin Oxley told The Daily Signal.
“By introducing the Protect Life Rule, it will once again protect taxpayer dollars from funding elective abortion providers,” he said.
The pro-life movement urges the Trump administration to reinstate the Protect Life Rule “as soon as possible” to ensure taxpayer dollars are not funding abortion, Oxley said. Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., and nine colleagues recently penned a letter to President Donald Trump, asking him to reinstate the Protect Life Rule.
After the administration proposes the rule, HHS would begin a public comment period of 30, 60, or 90 days. It would then have to respond to substantive comments and prepare to defend the rule in court.
Pro-life operatives hope the administration will select the shortest public comment period so the final rule can be published within a few months.
Litigation will likely be brought forward the same day the rule is introduced, according to Valerie Huber, president of the Institute for Women’s Health and special representative for women’s health in Trump’s first term. Huber helped shape the Protect Life Rule under Trump 45.
The state of California sued the first Trump administration over the Protect Life Rule, but the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld it, declaring that plaintiffs “will not prevail on the merits of their legal claims.”
“I hope they [the administration] are expecting that there is going to be litigation on the day that it is finalized,” Huber told The Daily Signal. “Be prepared for that, and be aggressive in the timing for release, putting that in the timetable.”

Anthropic loses appeals court bid to temporarily block Pentagon blacklisting
PUBLISHED WED, APR 8 20266:08 PM
KEY POINTS
• A federal appeals on denied Anthropic’s request for a stay in its lawsuit against the Department of Defense.
• The DOD officially designated Anthropic a supply chain risk in early March and said the company threatened national security.
• Late last month, a judge in San Francisco federal court granted Anthropic a preliminary injunction in a separate case that bars the Trump administration from enforcing a ban on the use of Claude.
A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday denied Anthropic’s request to temporarily block the Department of Defense’s blacklisting of the artificial intelligence company as a lawsuit challenging that sanction plays out.
The ruling comes after a judge in San Francisco federal court late last month, in a separate but related case,granted Anthropic a preliminary injunction that bars the Trump administration from enforcing a ban on the use of its Claude model.
“In our view, the equitable balance here cuts in favor of the government,” the appeals court said in its decision. “On one side is a relatively contained risk of financial harm to a single private company. On the other side is judicial management of how, and through whom, the Department of War secures vital AI technology during an active military conflict.For that reason, we deny Anthropic’s motion for a stay pending review on the merits.”
With the split decisions by the two courts,Anthropic is excluded from DOD contracts but is able to continue working with other government agencies while litigation plays out. Defense contractors will be prohibited from using Claude in their work with the agency, but they can use it for other cases.
The DOD declared Anthropic a supply chain risk in early March,meaning that use of the company’s technology purportedly threatens U.S. national security. The label requires defense contractors to certify that they don’t use Anthropic’s Claude AI models in their work with the military.
Anthropic had asked theappeals court to review the Pentagon’s determination and argued that it’s a form of retaliation that’s unconstitutional, arbitrary, capricious and not in accord with procedures required by law, according to a filing.
In the ruling on Wednesday, the court acknowledged thatAnthropic “will likely suffer some degree of irreparable harm absent a stay,” but that the company’s interests “seem primarily financial in nature.” While the company claimed the DOD was standing in the way of its right to free speech,“Anthropic does not show that its speech has been chilled during the pendency of this litigation,” the order said.
The DOD relied on two distinct designations under the U.S. federal court to justify the supply chain risk action, and they have to be challenged in two separate courts.
Anthropic’s suit against the Pentagon in March followed a dramatic couple weeks in Washington D.C., between the Department of Defense and one of the most valuable private companies in the world.

In a post on X in late February,Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared Anthropic a supply chain risk,and the DOD soon notified the company of the official determination via a letter.Anthropic is the first American company to be given the designation, which has historically been reserved for foreign adversaries.
Shortly before Hegseth’s post, President Donald Trump wrote a Truth Social post ordering federal agencies to “immediately cease” all use of Anthropic’s technology. He said there would be a six-month phase-out period for agencies like the DOD.
The Trump administration’s actions surprised many officials in Washington, where Anthropic’s technology had become embedded in numerous agencies. The company was the first to deploy its models across the DOD’s classified networks, and it was championed for its ability to integrate with existing Defense contractors like Palantir.
Anthropic signed a $200 million contract with the Pentagon in July, but as the company began negotiating Claude’s deployment on the DOD’s GenAI.mil AI platform in September, talks stalled.
The DOD wanted Anthropic to grant the Pentagon unfettered access to its models across all lawful purposes, while Anthropic wanted assurance that its technology would not be used for fully autonomous weapons or domestic mass surveillance.
The two failed to reach an agreement, pushing the dispute to court.
Because of the harm Anthropic is likely to suffer, the appeals court said “substantial expedition is warranted.”
An Anthropic spokesperson said in a statement after the ruling that the company is “grateful the court recognized these issues need to be resolved quickly” and that it’s “confident the courts will ultimately agree that these supply chain designations were unlawful.”
“While this case was necessary to protect Anthropic, our customers, and our partners, our focus remains on working productively with the government to ensure all Americans benefit from safe, reliable AI,” Anthropic said.
Todd Blanche, the acting U.S. attorney general, called the decision a “resounding victory for military readiness,” in a post on X.
“Military authority and operational control belong to the Commander-in-Chief and Department of War, not a tech company,” Blanche wrote.
