Joe Rogan Endorsed Donald Trump, Now Says He Feels ‘Betrayed’ By War In Iran

Reading Time: 3 minutes

There was a time when Joe Rogan — arguably the world's most influential podcast host — prided himself on being a politically neutral "just asking questions" kind of guy.

That approach enabled him to attract guests from across the political spectrum, and it was a huge part of his public appeal.

For reasons that still aren't entirely clear, Rogan abandoned that approach in 2024, going all-in on his endorsement of Donald Trump for a second term in office.

And now, like many who supported Trump's third run for the White House, Rogan is less than thrilled with what he's seeing.

"Well, it just seems so insane, based on what he ran on. I mean, this is why a lot of people feel betrayed, right?" Rogan said during the latest episode of his podcast.

"He ran on, 'No more wars,' 'End these stupid, senseless wars,' and then we have one that we can't even really clearly define why we did it."

Rogan certainly isn't alone in his anxiety about the situation in the Middle East.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) saus "MAGA voters" should worry the current U.S. military action against Iran could turn into "another forever war."

"I would say stay concerned," Burchett told The Hill this week when asked if he had a message for Trump supporters.

"I mean, be concerned. Be vigilant. Hold our feet to the fire. Keep us honest on that issue."

The outlet also cites a poll in which 71 percent of Americans said they believed the war would go on for "months," "about a year," or "longer than that."

During his numerous campaigns, Trump repeatedly alleged that his opponents would lead the US into a war with Iran.

Now, unlike many who have come forward to admit that they regret voting for Trump, Rogan is not receiving a ton of sympathy.

That's because he didn't just vote for Trump, he basically turned his wildly popular podcast into a pro-Trump infomercial.

In the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, Rogan's show welcomed Trump, his running mate, JD Vance, and his biggest donor, Elon Musk.

The host gave uncharacteristically sycophantic interviews to all three.

Musk stopped by multiple times, including a surprise appearance the night before the election, in which he claimed that Trump's opponent Kamala Harris would bring about the end of American democracy.

Rogan also blasted Harris for refusing to appear on his show, even though her camp has since clarified that her absence was the result of scheduling conflicts (she was, after all, running the shortest presidential campaign in recent history).

In other words, it's possible that no media figure played a bigger role in Trump's election than Joe Rogan — and thus, no one really cares about his buyer's remorse.

Laken Snelling Indicted on 1st Degree Manslaughter Over Dead Newborn

Reading Time: 3 minutes

A 911 call reported a newborn body that was "cold."

Three days later, authorities arrested Laken Snelling.

Now, a grand jury has indicted the University of Kentucky cheerleader.

She faces multiple charges, including first-degree manslaughter.

Man 1 is a serious charge

On Tuesday, March 10, a grand jury indicted Snelling on charges of first-degree manslaughter, abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing the birth of an infant.

The childbirth and alleged homicide took place in August 2025.

There was initially some uncertainty over which level of homicide charge the former University of Kentucky competitive cheerleader would receive.

However, after the medical examiner determined that Snelling's newborn was alive at the time that she allegedly stashed the infant in a trash bag in her closet, this information was seemingly enough for the grand jury.

Prosecutor Kimberly Baird explained: "They were given the information about homicide, the four levels of homicide and then deliberated and decided that manslaughter first degree was the charge."

Snelling is due back in court within the next two-to-three weeks.

As you can see in the video above, she waived ehr right to a preliminary trial in September 2025.

Snelling's arrest was on August 30 of that year — just three days after someone uncovered a "cold to the touch" infant inside a trash bag within Snelling's closet.

The ME concluded that the infant's cause of death was "asphyxia by undetermined means."

Sometimes, suffocation leaves evidence — fabric debris in the lungs, a pattern or residue over the mouth and nose. Not in this case, it seems.

How did the newborn die?

According to at least one statement that Snelling allegedly made to police, she lost consciousness after giving birth in her room.

She said that she passed out on top of the newborn.

When she awoke, Snelling told police, the infant was "blue and purple."

She apparently lied down beside the newborn for a time before bundling up everything from the birth — including the baby — and stashing it in the closet.

Snelling allegedly confessed to having heard a "whimper" during the bagging process.

In September 2025, Snelling pleaded not guilty to all of the charges that she is facing.

She was released on a $100,000 bond.

The court required Snelling to live on house arrest.

She is no longer enrolled at the University of Kentucky, where she had been part of the school's STUNT cheerleading team.

Additionally, she is no longer part of the STUNT team.

Crimes like this are often an indictment of the broader community

Every incident like this is nothing short of a horror.

Infanticide has a long and brutal history. Accidental deaths of infants are also a grim reality — especially for a young woman going through the unthinkable trauma of giving birth alone.

Notably, Kentucky has outlawed nearly all forms of abortion.

If Snelling, who reportedly was unaware that she was pregnant for the majority of her pregnancy, had learned of her pregnancy in time, she would probably have had to travel across state lines — perhaps to Illinois — to exercise her human rights.

Infanticide is not excusable, if that is what happened. But this very much appears to be a no-win situation that society and our nation's backwards laws forced upon her.

Yoko Ono Believed John Lennon Was Gay, Paul McCartney Claims

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This gives new meaning to "Hide Your Love Away"!

John Lennon and Paul McCartney might be the most beloved and influential songwriting duo in history.

But the relationship between the Beatles' frontmen was tense at times — and now we know it may have been even more complex than we realized.

In a newly resurfaced interview, McCartney revealed that Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, believed he might have been gay.

"I swear [Ono] rang me shortly after John died and said, 'You know, I think John might have been gay,'" McCartney told Vanity Fair (via Page Six).

"I went, 'I'm not sure.' I said, 'I don't think so. Certainly not when I knew him'… because we'd been in the '60s," McCartney recalled replying.

"We'd been around with loads and loads of girls. And I bumped into seeing him jacking … a lot of girl action.

"There was never a gesture, never an expression. It was nothing. So I had no reason to believe this at all."

McCartney says that Ono's suspicions may have arisen from trips that Lennon took with the Beatles' gay manager, Brian Epstein.

"But I saw that as a power play, which was very John," McCartney said.

"Brian would ask him as a homosexual thing – a good-looking boy who Brian fancied. They went down to Spain, had a fun time. No doubt John would play into the thing.

"I personally didn't think anything had happened. Certainly never heard about anything happening. But I saw it as: 'You want to deal with the Beatles? I'm the leader.'"

Lennon and Ono's relationship famously had quite a few ups and downs, including the period between 1973 and 1974, when they separated and Lennon embarked on what he called his "Lost Weekend" in Los Angeles.

Lennon spent the year boozing and carousing with pal Harry Nilsson, and his marriage almost came to an end.

"There was a time when Sir Paul McCartney offered Yoko his willingness to speak to John in Los Angeles about the separation," the couple's pal, Elliot Mintz remarked in 2024.

"She seemed grateful for that invitation," he continued, adding:

"Paul came out here, he had a meeting with John. His advice to him was, 'You can't just say that you've changed. You have to show it. You have to prove it. It would be like dating her again. You have to bring her flowers, you have to take her out for dinners. You have to show her how important she is to you in your world.'"

Lennon was a famously open-minded and free-spirited man, so it's not hard to see why his widow believes he might have been open for anything.

But whatever the case, John and Yoko remained married for the rest of his life.

Valerie Bertinelli is Shaking, Crying in Heartbreaking Anxiety Attack Video

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Valerie Bertinelli was shaking and crying uncontrollably in a video that she shared to social media.

In a sense, nothing was wrong. Nothing immediate.

For years, the actor has suffered anxiety attacks that send her body into a state of panic.

This time, she recorded herself shaking — to let followers know that they are not alone.

Valerie Bertinelli shared a video in which she was shaking uncontrollably

Bertinelli took to her Instagram page to share a video of her anxiety attack.

The 65-year-old actor, known for One Day At A Time, Touched By An Angel, Hot In Cleveland, and more, wanted to raise mental health awareness. A lot of people do not know what these sorts of attacks can look like.

"I've sat on this post for a day because it's incredibly vulnerable and that's always scary to share," she wrote in the caption.

The video itself showed her hand trembling.

"But I'm posting because we're all out here doing our best having a human experience," Valerie Bertinelli wrote alongside her shaking hand. "And," she continued, "none of us want to feel like we're alone in that."

She went on to detail that she had suffered a "really bad anxiety attack."

This, she explained, had not happened in "a very, very long time."

Bertinelli shared that she had been "shaking" and "weeping uncontrollably" while her heart "felt like it was pounding out of my chest."

Anxiety attacks are not new to Valerie Bertinelli

One of the sick twists of this kind of anxiety is that it can seem to go away entirely … until it comes back, catching you by surprise.

"As I'm going through the actual attack […] I almost disassociate and am focused solely on calming down and finding any road to a more relaxed and peaceful body," Valerie Bertinelli explained. She admitted that she "can't quite seem to calm all the way yet."

The actor detailed how her "body goes into overdrive" and her brain is "overthinking and catastrophizing."

For most, catastrophizing is worrying that your friend is dead when they're merely running a few minutes late. In this case, it's her entire body going into panic mode — a response over which she has "no control."

Bertinelli mused: "Part of me is fascinated by what the human body is capable of when our feelings can get in the way or override any reasonable thought."

She added: "And another part of me is just curious on how all of this happens."

'You're not alone'

At the end of her caption under the video of her shaking, Valerie Bertinelli asked if anyone could relate to her "extreme anxiety attacks." She also reminded her followers: "You're not alone."

She's right. Many people have these experiences.

As for why … simply put, sometimes people's bodies go into crisis mode without an emergency context.

Whether someone has cPTSD for childhood trauma or is still processing a car accident, their body might surge with panic.

In Valerie Bertinelli's case, that means shaking and sobbing until the "false alarm" concludes.

Pam Bondi Moved to Military Base After Alleged Threats

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Pam Bondi has the unenviable job of being Donald Trump's Attorney General.

She is one of the key faces of the Epstein cover-up.

A lot of people are unhappy.

As such, Bondi has been transferred from her residence to a military base, for protection.

A military base is generally more secure than any private home

The New York Times reports that Pam Bondi, Trump's Attorney General, has quietly moved from a civilian residence to a DC military base.

The reason is that there are numerous threats against her life.

Some of the threats allegedly stem from drug cartels. This is fairly par for the course for an AG job.

Other threats are due to the massive attempt to shield Trump and his allies from their involvement with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

That point of contention is more specific to Bondi.

According to the NYT, Bondi's relocation took place within the past month.

This came after what remains of federal law enforcement informed her staff about the threats against her.

Public figures of many walks of life can face threats, sometimes for no reason at all.

(We write this mere days after a delusional individual shot up Rihanna's home, apparently believing the billionaire singer to be the object of her torment.)

However, the mounting fascism within the federal government and other recent decisions by Trump have spurred greater backlash.

Why the uptick in threats? Well …

In January, Donald Trump had Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro abducted from his home and transported to the United States, primarily on the grounds that no one could stop him from doing so.

This apparently prompted an uptick in the threats.

Presumably, the escalating ICE violence as they continue to terrorize American neighborhoods is also a factor.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was in charge of ICE, not Bondi.

But as AG, Bondi is instrumental in shielding ICE goons from justice. She's caught a lot of heat for that.

And Bondi is not the only one who has been relocated, the NYT reports, due to alleged threats.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former Secretary Kristi Noem, and former Fox & Friends weekend host turned Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have received the same treatment.

So, too, has white nationalist advisor to Trump, Stephen Miller.

Interestingly, Army secretary Daniel P. Driscoll and Navy secretary John Phelan were also moved to military installations.

In the latter case, his DC home burned last year, prompting his relocation.

Please do not threaten government officials

We really wish that these folks, no matter their strong — and even justified — feelings, would stop issuing threats against government officials.

Among other things, it's counter-productive. Governments seldom react well to threats like this. The higher that you go, the more likely that a threat is to backfire.

(Private institutions are another matter. In 2023, domestic terror threats against Target prompted the corporation to betray its LGBTQ+ customers, pulling entire product lines. Their shareholders have been paying the price ever since.)

There are many productive actions that people can take as we wait for the names of those Trump advisors relocated (and many others) to stand trial for their crimes.

Issuing threats isn't one of them. They'll just beef up their security and continue terrorizing America and other nations.

Be smart. Protect your neighbors. Vote wisely. Prepare for things to get worse. And look forward to Nuremberg 2.

Jace Evans Was Institutionalized After Pulling Gun on Grandma, Source Claims

Reading Time: 3 minutes

As we previously reported, Jenelle Evans had son Jace committed to a mental hospital in North Carolina recently.

The troubled Teen Mom star made the decision from afar, as she still resides in Las Vegas.

Jace and Jenelle have had a strained (to put it mildly) relationship for years, but this was an extreme action.

And now, we have new information about what may have led Jenelle to have her son committed.

According to a new report from TMZ, Jace "pulled a gun" on his grandmother and temporary guardian Barbara Evans.

But several people — including Jenelle's estranged sister, Ashleigh — have disputed that claim.

The Ashley's Reality Roundup is reporting that the story about Jace pulling a gun was sold to TMZ by an anonymous source.

Ashleigh believes that that source was none other than Jenelle. But thus far, she has yet to furnish any evidence of that claim.

Whatever the case, after Jenelle called the cops, Jace was taken to a nearby hospital for an assessment.

He was then transferred to a psychiatric care facility, where he remains as of this writing.

"My nephew did not pull a firearm out on [his] grandmother or himself. That is a lie," Ashleigh wrote on X on Tuesday (via The Ashley).

"None of that [is] true… who[ever] keeps fabricating these lies is a sick person," she continued, adding:

"The police also never found a gun in my mother's house. That is a straight up lie."

She later elaborated on the situation, writing, "[It's] most likely my sister selling the story because she's angry. She's losing control."

An anonymous source has come forward to corroborate Ashleigh's claims.

"He was really angry and damaged something in the house. The cops actually searched Barbara's house and found no gun," the source tells The Ashley.

The insider also refutes the claim that Barbara was "desperate" to have Jace committed.

"Quite the opposite actually," the source says.

"Jenelle still has custody of Jace and continues to try to manipulate the situation, despite being in Vegas. She's trying everything she can to get her way."

Insiders have revealed that there have been some substance abuse issues, but nothing beyond what one would expect from a 16-year-old in a volatile situation.

They say the main issue is that Jace is upset that Jenelle is now back together with David Eason, her ex-husband who had previously been arrested for abusing Jace.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Nicole Curtis’ N-Word Excuses Don’t Go Well on ‘The Breakfast …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Earlier this year, HGTV fired Nicole Curtis after she said the N-word on set.

Since then, she has tried to explain her slur scandal to anyone who will listen.

Now, she's appeared on The Breakfast Club to try again.

Did she make a case for herself, or only did herself in deeper?

No one seems to know why Nicole Curtis went on 'The Breakfast Club' to defend herself amidst her N-word scandal. (Image Credit: YouTube)

This is painful to watch, as you can see in the video below

On the Tuesday, March 10 episode of The Breakfast Club, Nicole Curtis once again tried to explain her on-camera N-bomb.

As we previously reported, she blurted out of "fart n—-r" as an expletive.

She has repeatedly claimed that this was not what she intended to say.

Because Curtis cannot use actual obscenities on her show, she apparently uses "fart digger" and "fart knocker" as substitutes while filming.

To hear her tell it, her strategy backfired — and she accidentally combined two words, blasting the N-word on camera.

On The Breakfast Club, she emphasized that she does not use the racial slur.

DJ Envy expresses hid doubts, noting that it seemed to flow out of her mouth too naturally.

Curtis repeatedly mentions living in Detroit.

Though she does not really make her point clear, it seems that she's either trying to convey her respect for Black people, or she's trying to explain where she's heard the N-word. Maybe both?

Overall, Curtis gives the impression of someone who rehearsed in front of a mirror — and is panicking when, unlike the mirror, real people talk back and ask questions.

Was this a mistake?

Charlamagne tha God more or less tells Curtis that coming onto The Breakfast Club to defend herself was the wrong call.

(Very understandably, he does not mince words.)

Additionally, there's an emphasis on how appearing on the show is not some sort of automatic redemption, even under the best of circumstances.

Curtis agrees, though she seems flustered and agitated.

Defending yourself — especially when you're wrong — is never comfortable.

To be clear, no one believes that Curtis deliberately used the literal worst slur in any language.

Rather, questions surround how the N-word slipped out.

It is clearly the belief of multiple people that she has used the slur off-camera and has now let it slip on camera, for the first time.

Meanwhile, Curtis appears to maintain that she accidentally combined two fake-swears into a word that she never uses.

There is likely no way to prove or disprove either version of events. Where do we go from here?

What should she do now?

We know that Curtis likely does not want to hear this, but … if this really was just a terrible slip of the tongue and nothing more, she should probably just spend some time away from the cameras.

The general public has the memory of a goldfish. She can make a gentle apology in several months or a year, and maybe even stage a comeback — depending upon several factors.

(That said, if Curtis routinely uses the N-word, she should ignore our advice — because she wouldn't deserve it.)

What she really needs to do is back out of this defensive place. She explained herself, once. Repeatedly explaining herself isn't going well, and to some, it makes her look guilty.

It's totally possible that she just combined two words in the worst way possible. If so, that sucks, but re-explaining it doesn't help.
