Actor Michael Imperioli put Adam Sandler's pal Rob Schneider in a body bag after Schneider called for the U.S. to reinstate the military draft amid the escalating conflict with Iran — despite never having served himself.
Schneider recently argued that all Americans should complete two years of mandatory service at age 18, saying it would promote unity, discipline, and patriotism. But the proposal quickly sparked backlash, with critics pointing out the reality of sending young people into a war zone.
Imperioli’s response cut straight through the debate with sharp sarcasm, suggesting Schneider himself should be the one sent — highlighting a broader criticism often raised in these discussions: the loudest voices calling for war or conscription are rarely the ones expected to fight it.
The exchange is fueling a wider conversation about accountability, privilege, and who actually bears the cost of war — especially as talk of a draft resurfaces during an active conflict.Actor Michael Imperioli put Adam Sandler's pal Rob Schneider in a body bag after Schneider called for the U.S. to reinstate the military draft amid the escalating conflict with Iran — despite never having served himself.

President Donald Trump caused a stir on social media with a post telling the United Kingdom and other allies to “secure the Strait of Hormuz yourself” amid ongoing tensions with Iran. In his post on Truth Social, Trump argued that the U.S. would no longer intervene directly and suggested allies either buy oil from the United States or take military action themselves: “Build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.”
Trump also criticized France for being “VERY UNHELPFUL” over denying military overflight permissions and warned that the U.S. would “REMEMBER!!!” his words, signaling frustration with traditional allies.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global shipping lane, carrying roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply, and its partial closure has already driven up energy prices worldwide. Analysts say Trump’s post underscores growing tensions in international energy politics and raises questions about U.S. commitments to its allies during the escalating Iran conflict.President Donald Trump caused a stir on social media with a post telling the United Kingdom and other allies to “secure the Strait of Hormuz yourself” amid ongoing tensions with Iran.

Court filings in the high‑profile murder case of conservative activist Charlie Kirk are now raising major unanswered questions about the forensic evidence — and the defense is spotlighting a potentially explosive detail. According to recent legal documents, the bullet recovered from Kirk’s body couldn’t be definitively linked to the rifle prosecutors say was used by the accused shooter, Tyler Robinson. That claim comes from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which told defense lawyers it was unable to make a ballistic match between the fatal round and the rifle allegedly tied to Robinson.
Robinson, 22, is facing capital murder charges in Kirk’s killing at Utah Valley University in September 2025, and prosecutors have sought the death penalty. But this new twist — that the key piece of physical evidence may not conclusively connect him to the weapon — is now central to the defense’s push to delay the preliminary hearing and bring in additional experts to review the ballistic data.Court filings in the high‑profile murder case of conservative activist Charlie Kirk are now raising major unanswered questions about the forensic evidence — and the defense is spotlighting a potentially explosive detail.

Spanish MEP Irene Montero just issued one of the most forceful critiques yet from a European political leader about the ongoing war in Gaza and Western support for Israel. She warned that “if we do not stop Israel in time, it will do to the whole world what it has already done to Palestinians” — tying the violence and humanitarian catastrophe in occupied Palestinian territories to a broader warning about unchecked militarism and power.
Montero has repeatedly called for Europe to break its diplomatic silence and impose sanctions or isolation on Israel and its key backers, including the U.S., over what she describes as genocide and terror. Her statements reflect a sector of progressive opinion that sees the international response to the war as deeply hypocritical — especially given Western governments’ reluctance to sanction Israel despite documented displacement, civilian deaths, and concerns flagged by U.N. human rights experts about violations of international law.
Whether one agrees or not, this rhetoric directly challenges mainstream European foreign‑policy consensus and is fueling a heated trans‑Atlantic debate about war, human rights, and the limits of Western military alliances. It’s stirring strong reactions from activists on both sides, and could become a flashpoint in how European progressives frame opposition to U.S.–linked military power globally.Spanish MEP Irene Montero just issued one of the most forceful critiques yet from a European political leader about the ongoing war in Gaza and Western support for Israel.

Italy just slapped a rare diplomatic and military check on the United States. According to multiple reports, the Italian government refused to allow a U.S. military aircraft to land at the Sigonella air base in Sicily before they were supposed to fly on toward the Middle East — because the U.S. didn’t ask permission first and failed to follow treaty procedures that require Italian approval for non‑routine military flights.
Sigonella isn’t just any airstrip — it’s one of NATO’s key hubs in the Mediterranean and has historically been used by the U.S. for operations into the region. But this week, Rome’s defense leadership stepped in and said “no” when Washington didn’t follow the rules.
This move follows growing European pushback against the U.S.–led war in Iran, including neighboring Spain closing its airspace and barring U.S. war flights tied to the conflict.
For progressives worried about mission creep, entanglement in endless wars, and sovereign governments standing up to U.S. military overreach, this could be a major flashpoint in NATO and trans‑Atlantic politics.Italy just slapped a rare diplomatic and military check on the United States.

A group of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse has filed a class‑action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice under the Trump administration and Google, saying their private identifying information was exposed in publicly released Epstein‑related files and then spread online.
According to the complaint, documents the DOJ released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act included personal details about at least 100 survivors that were not properly redacted. The lawsuit argues the government chose to release a large volume of material quickly at the expense of victim privacy — and that Google continued to show the information in search results and AI outputs even after being asked to remove it.
Plaintiffs say the exposure has caused renewed trauma, including unwanted contact and threats, and are seeking damages as well as court orders to remove the information from online platforms.A group of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse has filed a class‑action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice under the Trump administration and Google, saying their private identifying information was exposed in publicly released Epstein‑related files and then spread online.
