Ouch: Trump Humiliates Obnoxious CNN Reporter After Oval Office Outburst

https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2026/08/17/trump-torches-reporter-for-obnoxious-behavior-in-oval-office-n2205713

Quote
It seems that some "journalists" in the White House press corps need to be reminded that access to the president is a privilege, not a right. And with that privilege comes the responsibility to behave professionally and with decorum.
...
Unfortunately for one CNN reporter, her behavior didn't meet President Trump's standards and he let her know it.

The president was hosting hero teen lifeguard Ryder Williams and the boy he saved from rough surf last month in Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz, California. Video of Williams rescuing the drowning boy made headlines across the globe, earning him a trip to the White House. And he got to sit in the fireside chair that is usually reserved for dignitaries and kings.
...
This is where CNN's Kristen Holmes, presumably sitting in for the dour-faced Kaitlan Collins, disgraced herself with an absurd question about the president preferring to travel with his aide Natalie Harp than to build the White House ballroom. She was repeating almost verbatim the dreck spouted by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) in a recent speech.

To his credit, the president responded calmly, saying they were making much-needed changes to the White House after years of neglect. If Holmes was expecting to provoke an outburst, she was sorely disappointed.

However, to her everlasting discredit, Holmes proceeded to scream like a maniac over the other press members trying to get in a question. Her obnoxious behavior in front of the lifeguard and the boy he rescued prompted the president to completely and brutally shut her down with a few cutting remarks.

CNN's Dem-shill "reporter" was obediently trying to troll their evidence-less insinuation that Trump is having an affair with Natalie Harp. She's worked with Trump, effectively, for two years, so of course Dem-shill MSM parrots hate her and feel she's made herself deserving to be a smear target.

:hi5: Malaprop creation is the special skill of many DU members. :rotf:

I'm going to guess that the justification form is double-edged lawsuit-resistance CYA for the dude's employer. If the accommodation is denied, the form hinders an ADA lawsuit; if the accommodation is granted, the form hinders a discrimination lawsuit from coworkers who did not merit or need a similar accommodation. I.E., the greed is lawyer-victimology-greed, not corporate greed

I swear so many DUmmies just get a wild bout of crazy inspiration and type without considering spelling or grammar.

Smartest people on the internets!!!

There's no off-season for lawyers. Booming economy or down-turn doesn't matter. It's almost like they made the rules up just for themselves.

Iran's Not-So-Subtle War on U.S. Morale and the Left's Abetting of It

https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2026/08/18/irans-not-so-subtle-war-on-us-morale-n4956256

Quote
Earlier this month, a sailor on the USS Abraham Lincoln, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, deployed in the Persian Gulf, jumped overboard. Thankfully, he was rescued and helicoptered off the ship.

The sailor went overboard on August 3. On August 11, "Mehr News, a wire service of the Islamic Republic, reported a violent clash aboard USS Abraham Lincoln: seven dead, several wounded, an adviser to the CENTCOM commander booed and pelted with water bottles on the deck of America’s flagship in the Arabian Sea," writes Gregg Roman, executive director of the Mideast Forum. The source of the story was Tasnim, an outlet tied to the Revolutionary Guard, which cited one anonymous “informed military source.”

The story ran for two days before CENTCOM denied it; one sailor had gone overboard and been rescued. The story was an outrageous lie. But mainstream Western media outlets began reporting accounts from military spouses and other sources regarding suicide attempts aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, including a spouse detailing her husband's burnout and attempt to jump overboard. Stars and Stripes detailed interviews with military families expressing concerns about declining mental health and suicidal ideation among crew members during extended deployments, including a spouse relaying a message from a sailor expressing suicidal thoughts.
...
Of course, it's all Donald Trump's fault.

They must be dancing a jig in Tehran. As The Free Press's Elliot Abrams notes, suicides, suicidal ideation, and mental health problems are endemic to both active-duty and retired military. And it's strange that the "concern" of the media for the mental health of our military people has suddenly appeared when the story can be twisted into an attack on Trump and an unpopular war.
...
The Navy denied an increase in serious mental health problems aboard the Lincoln.

Quote
We have not observed an increase in suicidal ideations or attempts aboard the ship. We take every service member's well-being seriously and have religious, medical and mental health professionals available to assess and address concerns as they arise. USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) has five Navy Chaplains, one clinical psychologist, one clinical social worker, three behavioral health technicians and an embedded integrated prevention coordination (EIPC) counselor. The ship also has an expeditionary facility dog, CAPT Fathom, to support crew morale and emotional welfare. These resources are available to Sailors and Marines throughout the Strike Group 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Roman explains the methodology of the disinformation.

Quote
The method takes the true kernel, tired crew, long deployment, worried families, and inflates it past recognition. “America’s floating prison at sea,” in the words of Iran’s embassy in Kenya, which decorated the phrase with an anonymous spouse’s quote lifted from Western press coverage and a graphic of a sailor behind bars. ...

"Lying by Exaggeration" would be a severe under-statement.
