A Woman On The Street Interview Goes Hilariously Right
Brianna Lyman, a staffer at The Federalist, was doing a woman-on-the-street interview for the Hannity show. The intent was obviously to promote patriotism before the holiday weekend. One interview did not go as expected, and it was glorious: I love the United States. I'm a true patriot. I'm staying here. I'm sticking with it, and I'm going to fight the fascists who are currently in charge of the federal government. I love that woman! I want to buy her a dozen roses for that answer. She played that perfectly. The cherry on top of it all was watching Lyman's face during the interview. As the woman hits all the jingoistic talking points, Lyman starts to smile and nod her head. But when the woman drops the bomb about fighting fascists, Lyman's face just drops. Talk about a chef's kiss! Go ahead, watch it a few more times. I did. It's well worth it. Voter: I love the United States, I'm a true patriot. I'm staying here and I'm sticking with it and I will fight the fascists who are in charge of the federal government. pic.twitter.com/B4dMkiAorp — Acyn (@Acyn) June 30, 2026 read more

CNN Humiliates Trump With Brutal Montage of Receipts
MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty ImagesA CNN host was left stunned as a montage of Donald Trump’s claims on Iran delivered an uncomfortable reality check for the president.On Thursday, the network stitched together a series of clips showing Trump insisting repeatedly that Iran was eager to strike a deal to end the war he started back in February—leaving anchor Kasie Hunt visibly taken aback as the footage clashed with both the president’s own shifting claims and the reality on the ground.CNN pulled together 14 clips of Trump declaring that Iran was desperate to “make a deal,” spanning from March 23 to Wednesday, with him variously claiming the war would end “very quickly,” that Tehran wanted an agreement “a lot more” than he did, and that Iran was “dying to make a deal.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
