Anti-Trumpers would have to ‘agree' with US plan to stop Iran's ambitions
Strategic Analysis Australia Director Michael Shoebridge discusses the possibility of Donald Trump brokering a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Donald Trump is set to host Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday. 'Even anti-Trumpers would have to agree that setting back Iran's regional ambitions to dominate the Middle East and setting back its nuclear program is a real net positive,' Mr Shoebridge said. 'It opens up other opportunities for reproachment between Arab states and Israel – but not while Gaza is still happening.'

JD Vance Flips the Bird at Trump Critics During GOP Dinner Party: ‘That Means We're No. 1, Right?'
In an effort to make a joke about anti-Trumpers, Vice President JD Vance decided to flip the bird at attendees during the Ohio Republican dinner party on Tuesday. The moment happened while Vance was delivering a keynote speech, during which he started discussing the challenges that come with being a political figure, as well as the slew of 'pink-haired' critics he claimed have approached and/or confronted him since his time in office. 'I know it's not easy to be a political candidate, trust me. In Washington, D.C. they have this thing where— I think it means 'we're No. 1' in Washington, D.C., but all the pink-haired people throw up this sign,' Vance said. He then lifted his hand to flip the bird to the listening audience. Keeping his middle finger in the air, he continued on, joking that the one finger up must mean naysayers are labeling the Trump administration as No. 1. 'That means we're No. 1, right? I choose to take that as that symbol in Washington,' Vance said in jest. LMAO! JD Vance throws up the MIDDLE FINGER live on TV"In D.C., they have this thing where – I think it means we're number one – all the pink-haired people throw up this sign… *throws up middle finger*" — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) June 25, 2025 Vance's crude behavior happened the same day Trump went viral for dropping the F-bomb while criticizing both Israel and Iran for their cease-fire deal. President Trump on Israel and Iran: "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing." — CSPAN (@cspan) June 24, 2025 'We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f—k they're doing,' Trump told media on Tuesday. As TheWrap previously reported, after speaking to reporters, the president told Israel on his Truth Social platform it would be a 'MAJOR VIOLATION' if it bombed Iran. He then called on Israel to 'BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!' About 40 minutes later, the president was seemingly in a much better mood, posting that Israel would not attack Iran. 'All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly 'Plane Wave' to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the cease-fire is in effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Trump posted on Truth post JD Vance Flips the Bird at Trump Critics During GOP Dinner Party: 'That Means We're No. 1, Right?' | Video appeared first on TheWrap.

It's Your Call for May 26
Put it to a vote I read the editorial about dredging Lake Contrary and agree with it 100%. As a matter of fact, I think it would be fair to the Buchanan County residents to put something like that to a vote and let the whole county decide how they want to spend their tax dollars because I actually believe the $6 million is probably half of what it will cost to dredge it when it's over. Maybe they could have a property assessment to the owners of real estate in that area that are going to benefit the most. The right direction The more I hear Democrats whining about President Trump, the more I know we're on the right track and the country's going to get better. Stand up to him What Netanyahu is doing to the Palestinian people is a war crime. The world needs to stand up with this guy. What a hypocrite Josh Hawley is a hypocrite. He goes along with Trump for cutting FEMA, and then he says FEMA needs to step up after the St. Louis tornado. Take a chance All you anti-Trumpers on here should take a chance and watch FOX News for a day or two and see the truth. Take a chance and see what you think.

Sound Off: May 26, 2025
Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics: Come live on E Wortham Road and you, too, can enjoy dump trucks driving back and forth all day long, six day a week. Some with their loud brakes. In the Sound of for 24 May an obvious Trump-hater stated that President Trump said '... Liz Cheney should be shot' which was blatantly untrue. With Tucker Carlson on October 31, 2024, then former President Donald Trump at the time, referred to her as a 'radical war hawk' and said, 'Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK? Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.' He did not explicitly state that Liz Cheney should be shot, however his comments were misperceived by the anti-Trumpers as making such a threat. Here we go again. Donald Trump allowed some white South Africans into America, claiming genocide against them. He showed us photos of it in his oval office meeting with South African president, who disputed his claims. Now the truth is out. The photos he claimed showed genocide against white people were actually taken in Congo. What do we when we cannot trust anything our President says without fact checking first. The president lied about the South African killings? I just don't believe it. I mean, he's been so honest about everything else. In keeping with the trend of posting positive stories in Sound Off, I'd like to give a big 'THANK YOU' shout out to Memorial Hospital at Gulfport (MHG). I recently had surgery there which I would have previously had performed in New Orleans or Mobile. I decided to give MHG another chance. I could not be more pleased with the experience. The entire staff, physicians, nurses, dietitians, housekeeping staff, valet staff (yes, they do have free valet parking), administration, security, clergy, and everyone else, were exceptional. Special accolades to the 3rd-floor staff. It's good to know we have such a first-class hospital right here in south Mississippi. Keep up the excellent work and once again, thanks for saving me a trip (and possibly my life) with state-of-the-art health care. It makes me proud to claim MHG as my hospital of choice when I could have decided to go out of state. People cry 'Cut our taxes!' Then they cry 'Don't cut our government programs!' But how can government programs (medical research and help, military readiness, education, disaster support, charity, etc.) be supported without taxes? Taxes are the lifeblood of a healthy society. Do taxes need to be monitored for need, efficiency, and effectiveness? Yes! But remember: a tax cut often and sometimes necessarily produces a program cut. Be careful what you ask for. Why does the press bother attending White House briefings and asking Karoline Leavitt questions? They already know they're going to get nothing but the party line. Send your Sound Offs to soundoff@

Eliminating the Department of Education won't harm children
Done right, the department's elimination wouldn't harm our children. Some progressives who were present at its creation in 1979 Advertisement I glimpsed this forgotten history while covering the late representative Pat Schroeder, when the Coloradan made a 1990s swing through my New Hampshire newspaper's region. She surprised me by saying that, while fully supporting federal aid to local schools, she'd considered a centralized bureaucracy with say in how it was spent to be a mistake. Representative Advertisement Unsurprisingly, the rival to that teachers union, the National Federation of Teachers, opposed the department, as did, perhaps more surprisingly, the editorial board of 'No matter what anyone says, the Department of Education will not just write checks to local school boards,' Schroeder Rather, the legitimate concerns about the current plans for the department are two: First, the agencies onto which Trump The administration's school funding commitment hides in the will-he-or-won't-he miasma darkening so many Trump policies. Education Secretary Linda McMahon Advertisement Progressives should stress adequate funding, smartly spent, not reflexive support for a bureaucracy and department that some of their ideological forebears opposed. Certainly, the savings from eliminating DOE jobs, like other elements in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency's phantom that big a waste is not a hill anti-Trumpers should die on. If education advocates work to ensure such necessary funding, Schroeder, Chisholm, et al. will rest easy in their graves.
