Bartiromo’s Lawyer Insists She Wasn’t Fired And Still Has Fox Job

Fox News Media abruptly announced on Thursday that it had parted ways with Maria Bartiromo. The terse statement strongly suggested she had been fired. So did subsequent reporting.

In the wake of Fox’s announcement, two, separate reports said she was likely fired from Fox for tattling to the Trump White House that her higher-ups had barred her from promoting covering President Sore Loser’s 2020 conspiracy theories in his July, 2026 speech.

On Friday, CNN’s Brian Stelter tweeted that Bartiromo has retained a lawyer who insists not only that she was not fired but that she still has her job: Attorney Bryan Freedman blasted as “absolutely and unequivocally false"the “irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox”

“Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise,” Freedman added. “Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

Van Orden Tries To Start A Fight But Keeps Getting Beat Up

Rebecca Cooke, Drunken Van Orden's opponent, was doing the usual campaign things over the weekend, such as visiting American veterans at a breakfast event. She posted about it on Xitter and said she comes from a long line of veterans and that, if elected, she will fight to help them get and keep the benefits they deserve.

This was enough to set off DVO, who accused Cooke of using the vets as political props:

It wasn't long before DVO was called out by James Wigderson, a Wisconsin native and a Never Trump type of Republican. Wigderson pointed out that DVO was a traitor, not a hero, because he participated in the insurrection. DVO shot back with a personal insult and a threat because that's what insecure drunks do:

Wigderson has been mocking him ever since. And not to be left out of the action, Rep Mark Pocan got his punches in from the left:

GOP Personality Complains DSA Members Think They's Latest Birthright Citizenship Idiocy

Reince Priebus was complaining on Fox about Democratic Socialists and said that they were the wrong kind of radicals:

Sorry, he doesn't get the credit he deserves, but you know, the most offensive thing that's going on now with these guys and and and Nixon in Florida and El Sayed, you know, they're they're they're trying to equate themselves to Jesus. They're calling themselves radicals, you know, Jesus was a radical. I'm a radical, you know; using the same word doesn't make them equivalent.

I mean, Jesus was radical because he said, you know, in a theological explosion that, you know, I'm the only, only through me will you enter the kingdom of heaven. That was radical, but Jesus wasn't advocating the abolition of the Electoral College, the Supreme Court, the presidency, the elimination of the Department of War, you know, all these things that they're talking about.

These people are radical for a different reason. They're radical because they're advocating for things that are contrary to the United States Constitution. Yes, they're radical.

That's the problem. They're always wrong and they're never in doubt, and this is what this group is all about and that's what makes it easier for us to win these races because they're caught between their base and normal and and they can't get on the right side of normal and as long as they keep playing around in that zone that they're in, we have a good shot in a midterm that is usually pretty tough for the incumbent party.

Why Isn’t Elon Musk Getting The Hasan Piker Treatment From The Media?

Elon Musk has publicly expressed his belief that Jews are not white.

In response to a Xitter poll asking if Jews are white, Musk seemed enthusiastic to let the public know he doesn’t think so. He even offered up scientific-sounding mumbo jumbo to back up his antisemitism. “I’ve met so many people who look extremely European in every way and tell me they’re Jewish,” he said in his three-paragraph response. “Well, maybe there are a few OG ‘Jewish ACTG’ sequences in there somewhere, but clearly not many! Where is the list of these ACTG sequences?”

Apparently Trump Thinks The Iranian People Should 'Fight' In His War... Against Iran

In what may be the most unhinged, insane thing he's said since launching his senseless war, President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform last night to express his frustration with not only "ABC Fake News'" reporting on his efforts to strike a deal with Iran, but with the Iranian people themselves, who he apparently thinks should "rise up and fight" this war with him.

Despite his vehement insistence that this conflict with Iran would barely last a week or two, Donald Trump's war with Iran has now fully surpassed its six-month mark, and even the mere concept of an end to the war isn't even a blip on the horizon.

Reports have confirmed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave an extensive presentation in the Situation Room on February 12th, in which he claimed that the country of Iran was ripe for a takeover, according to Israeli intelligence. According to reporting, Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the presentation "bullshit" the moment Netanyahu left the room.

Trump did it anyway.

Since launching his war just days later, on February 28th, Donald Trump has repeatedly tried and failed to strike a deal with Iran, as the country makes a complete and utter fool of him at every turn. He has continually claimed that Iran "badly" wants to cut a deal with him, yet they're refusing to negotiate at all, and they made quick work of spitting on the one deal Trump did manage to strike before the ink had even dried.
