On the “Impaulsive” podcast, Logan Paul declared he would wager $1 million against any NFL player willing to face him in a boxing match — claiming that no player is capable of beating him.

“Not a single football player could beat me in a boxing match,” Paul said proudly, adding that he would “throttle Myles Garrett.”

“A million dollars. You come to the gym, we put on boxing gloves, we see how it goes,” he added.

“This started with, ‘I can beat any NFL player in a fight.’ Which is an outright lie. There are a bunch of guys in the National Football League right now that will whoop Logan Paul’s ass,” “Fearless” guest Shaun King tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock.

“Then he fixed it, though, when he came back around to it, and he specified it had to be boxing and inside the ring with gloves on. … That is a conditioning thing, and it’s a technique thing, and no matter how good you might be fighting on the street, if you aren’t learned in that specific line of combat, then you probably have no chance,” he continues.

“Probably in a boxing match, something that he’s been training at forever with gloves, three-minute rounds, he has a sizeable advantage. But don’t get it twisted, Logan. In a regular street fight, there are a whole bunch of NFL guys that’ll get on your top,” he adds.

As President Donald Trump continues his push to secure the nation, a new NBC News survey reveals that American voters hold positions on enforcement of immigration laws that are at odds with the mainstream media narrative. The poll, conducted by Hart Research Associates and Public Opinion Strategies, shows that when it comes to border security, voters prefer the Republican Party over the Democratic Party by a staggering 27-point lead.

The American people have more faith in the agency protecting the border than in the party that has consistently undermined it.

The survey was conducted between Feb. 27 and March 3, 2026. It included interviews with 1,000 registered voters, with 620 respondents reached via cell phone and 309 interviewed through an online survey sent via text message. The results, which have a margin of error of ±3.10%, reveal a growing divide.

The poll also has shocking news for the Democratic Party. According to the survey, 38% of voters have a positive view of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. By comparison, only 30% of voters have a positive view of the Democratic Party. This eight-point gap suggests that despite radical “Abolish ICE” rhetoric from progressives, the American people have more faith in the agency protecting the border than in the party that has consistently undermined it.

In a post on X, Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley noted, “[The Democratic Party] barely edged out Iran in popularity. As Democrats push airports toward a shutdown during peak Spring break travel, they could soon lose not just to Iran but Ebola in future polls.”

Republicans hold their largest issue-based advantage on the border, far outpacing the 22-point lead they hold on the issue of crime. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party trails significantly on these pressing security concerns.

While 50% of voters say they prefer a Democrat-controlled Congress, they are simultaneously backing the Trump administration’s firm stance on the U.S. border and immigration enforcement.

After only 10 days of the military operation against Iran, President Donald Trump said that it is close to being complete.

The president made the comments to a reporter over a phone interview Monday as oil prices skyrocketed and the stock market took a dive.

‘They’ve shot everything they have to shoot, and they better not try anything cute.’

“I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications. They’ve got no air force,” the president said to Weijia Jiang, a CBS reporter.

Jiang posted the comments on social media.

The president added that the operation was far ahead of an initial estimated time frame of four to five weeks.

He also addressed the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran had threatened to shut down and was the cause of the spike in oil prices. The president said he was considering “taking it over” and threatened Iran further.

“They’ve shot everything they have to shoot, and they better not try anything cute or it’s going to be the end of that country,” he added.

The stock market recovered much of its losses, and oil markets dropped in value after the president’s comments were reported.

A Russian official also said Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin shared proposals to end the war on Iran in a phone call with Trump.

The president said Saturday that Iran was looking to end its strikes against its neighbors.

“Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore,” he wrote. “This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East.”

Jiang also asked the president to comment on the news that the Iranian regime had chosen Mojtaba Khamenei to become the next supreme leader.

“I have no message for him. None whatsoever,” Trump said.

New York Times opinion writer David French, a self-described evangelical conservative, has made a habit out of supporting radical leftists over those Republican officials who have time and again delivered meaningful results for the causes of life and liberty.

French announced in 2024, for example, that he was supporting then-candidate Kamala Harris over President Donald Trump “to save conservatism.”

‘French always saves his most demonic takes for Sunday morning columns.’

The former National Review writer’s rationale was that the GOP supposedly wouldn’t survive another Trump term but could be rebuilt as a “force for genuine good” in the event that Harris — an advocate for abortion, child sex-rejection procedures, and infringements on the Second Amendment — won.

Although his propaganda didn’t work in 2024, French clearly hasn’t given up on promoting radical leftists and is now promoting James Talarico, the Democrat state representative hoping to succeed Republican John Cornyn in the U.S. Senate.

French — who has not only embraced homosexual “marriage” but also non-Christian speech codes about gender — claimed in an editorial on Sunday that “Talarico shines” as “one of the few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian, and by acting like a Christian he reveals a profound contrast with so many members of the MAGA Christian movement that’s dominated American political life for 10 years.”

French proffered Talarico’s Senate primary victory speech, during which he criticized competition, as an example of the Democrat’s supposed Christianity in action, “right heart,” and loving ways.

“I am tired of being pitted against my neighbor. I’m tired of being told to hate my neighbor. It’s been more than 10 years of this kind of politics,” said Talarico. “Politics as blood sport, politics as trolling and owning, politics as total war. It tears families apart. It ends friendships, and it leaves us all feeling terrible all the time.”

Though gushing about Talarico’s supposed Christian decency and compassionate public face, French neglected to mention any of the Democrat’s nastier remarks about those political opponents and fellow Christians with whom he fundamentally disagrees.

Talarico previously suggested, for example, that Trump is a “business cheat, a pathological liar, a serial adulterer, a twice-impeached insurrectionist, a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist,” many of whose supporters “have forgotten all about Jesus.”

Trump sued ABC News over host George Stephanopoulos’ false on-air assertion that the president had been found civilly liable for rape. Per the terms of the late 2024 settlement, ABC News ultimately agreed to pay $15 million toward Trump’s presidential library.

Despite the apparent narrowness of Talarico’s love and understanding, French — making no secret of his soft spot for Cornyn and hard liking for Talarico — presented the Democrat challenger as the supposedly virtuous antithesis of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

French’s case relies not only on selective outrage and his apparent ability to judge the hearts of men but on severing both candidates from their relevant activities, namely their work in office.

“For too long we’ve evaluated Christians in politics primarily through their policy positions,” wrote French. “Yet this is exactly backward.”

French expressed outrage over Paxton’s failed marriage and portrayed him as an exemplar of vice while strategically ignoring Talarico’s:

support for the dehumanization and elimination of the unborn, as signaled by his 0% score on the Texas Right to Life’s pro-life scorecard and his correlated recognition as “a Pro-Choice Champion” by the Texas Choice Tracker;attempted use of scripture, specifically Genesis 2:7 and the Annunciation, to justify the slaughter of the unborn;votes against sparing children from sex-rejection mutilations as well as against keeping men out of girls’ sports;claim that displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms is “deeply un-Christian”;claim that the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling was effectively “un-Christian”;claim that God is “non-binary”;claim that there are six sexes, despite the clear assertion in Genesis, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them”; complaint that “Republican politicians are banning drag queens in the name of protecting children”; andclaim that “you can’t call yourself a Christian and destroy God’s creation with greenhouse gases.”

Critics blasted French over his commentary, suggesting that his understanding of “decency” is confused if not outright deceptive.

Radio host Erick Erickson noted, “It is not decent to twist scripture to lead others to hell. It is not decent to claim whiteness itself is like a virus. It is not decent to use Christ’s conception as a justification for abortion. It is not decent to reduce women to ‘neighbors with uteruses.’ Only if you have been radicalized by your critics can you land at this position.”

‘Your affectionate uncle, Screwtape.’

“David French is endorsing a guy who wants free abortion mills in every courthouse and who also claims God is trans,” wrote Sean Davis, CEO of the Federalist. “That French always saves his most demonic takes for Sunday morning columns is a pretty good indicator of who he actually worships now.”

William Wolfe, executive director for the Center for Baptist Leadership, alluded to the conspiring demons in C.S Lewis’ “The Screwtape Letters,” writing, “Now tell them that pro-abortion, pro-child mutilation politician who preaches that God is non-binary is a ‘shining’ example of a Christian. Your affectionate uncle, Screwtape.”

Weeks prior to French’s opinion piece, BlazeTV host Steve Deace suggested that Talarico was an “object and a vessel of malevolence. All right? When he speaks, he’s not deceived; he’s the deceiver. … He is who Paul would have said in Acts, ‘You are a son of the devil.’ He knows what he is doing.”

President Donald Trump spent years campaigning against the failures of American foreign policy — but not necessarily against American power itself.

Which is why Trump’s bold global moves suggest a doctrine that rejects nation-building and ideological crusades in favor of something far simpler: an America First approach to global dominance.

“It’s only March, but already it’s proven to be a pretty remarkably action-packed year. You know, just three days in, Trump successfully plucks up Nicolas Maduro from his bed in Venezuela, extradites him back to the United States, where he’s facing numerous felony charges stemming from involvement in narco-terrorism,” John Doyle explains.

“Then, the end of February, Trump launches Operation Epic Fury, of course, a military campaign to destroy Iran’s offensive capabilities,” he continues.

“On Tuesday, though, the U.S. and Ecuador launched a joint military operation against narcoterrorists in the South American country,” he adds.

But it appears that Trump is only getting started.

“A lot of analysts, I’ve been seeing this, are saying that Trump is perhaps planning an intervention in Cuba. … In his second term, he’s floated the idea of, you know, a friendly takeover. We can guess how friendly such a takeover would actually be. But Trump’s clearly trying to frame Cuba as a failing state, which it is,” Doyle says.

And while many Americans are skeptical of Trump’s recent actions, particularly Operation Epic Fury, Doyle points out that Trump is “doing what he thinks is best for America, not what’s best for abstractions like liberal democracy, not what’s best for transgender people in Timbuktu, what is best for America.”

“He does think in terms of empire. All of his criticism about American Empire has not been so much on the empire itself, but more on the people managing it. What does he say? ‘Our leaders are stupid,’” Doyle explains.

“His problem with us going into Iraq was not that we went into Iraq necessarily, but that we went in to pursue a nation-building project, and we didn’t even take the oil. He said this as it was going on. He said this on the debate stage in 2016. This is pretty consistent for Donald Trump,” he says.

“And, of course, it’s true that Trump won the election in 2016 by denouncing, again, certain aspects of the American Empire — you know, our involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan. But it is incorrect ultimately to characterize Trump as opposed to empire itself,” he continues.

“In fact, if anything, the American Empire is actually doing a lot better with Trump at the helm,” he adds.

An Arkansas father who is facing second-degree murder charges for allegedly killing his teen daughter’s suspected sexual abuser has won the Republican nomination for county sheriff.

As Blaze News reported in October 2024, Aaron Spencer woke up to find his 14-year-old daughter missing from the family’s home. Police were notified about the missing girl.

‘Michael Fosler is [expletive] dead on the side of the road for trying to kidnap my daughter. I had no choice.’

Spencer got in his vehicle to try to track down his missing daughter and spotted a white Ford truck on the highway owned by Michael Fosler — the 67-year-old man accused of raping Spencer’s daughter.

The Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release, “While en route, deputies were notified that the father, Aaron Spencer, had located the juvenile in a vehicle with Michael Fosler.”

The affidavit said Spencer used his vehicle to rear-end Fosler’s Ford F-150 truck at an intersection, which forced it off the road and into a ditch.

Citing court records, USA Today reported that Spencer “then got out of his car and started firing a gun at Fosler. He fired 16 times, court records state, noting 15 bullets hit Fosler.”

Court documents said Spencer pistol-whipped Fosler in the face after firing the shots.

Court records show Spencer then called 911 and said, “Michael Fosler is [expletive] dead on the side of the road for trying to kidnap my daughter. I had no choice.”

Police said Fosler was pronounced dead at the crime scene.

Spencer was arrested, charged with second-degree murder in connection with Fosler’s death, and then released from the Lonoke County Detention Center after posting bail.

Court documents said Spencer went to the home of a female acquaintance of Fosler on July 8, 2024, told the woman that Fosler raped his underage daughter, and then demanded Fosler’s phone number and home address.

Spencer instructed the woman not to call anyone, including the police, according to court documents.

However, Fosler’s acquaintance revealed the situation to one of her family members, who was a mandated reporter. According to USA Today, “Mandated reporters are required to notify law enforcement officials or social services about suspected cases of child abuse.”

The mandated reporter alerted the Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office about the rape allegations, court records stated.

Court records said two officers went to Spencer’s residence as part of the investigation into the rape of his minor daughter.

Court docs said the interaction between Spencer and officers was recorded on a police bodycam, and one of the officers is heard telling Spencer, “We still don’t live in a country where you can take the law into your own hands,” to which Spencer responded with an expletive.

Officials with the Wade Knox Children’s Advocacy Center interviewed Spencer’s daughter, according to court records.

USA Today reported that police obtained an arrest warrant for Fosler for a charge of rape and one count of internet stalking of a child — both of which are felonies.

USA Today said Fosler was arrested and then released from jail on $50,000 bond on July 17, 2024.

Spencer’s sister-in-law in 2025 launched a GiveSendGo crowdfunding campaign, which has raised over $100,000 in an effort to keep their “family afloat amid Aaron’s daunting legal proceedings.”

“Beginning in the spring of 2024, my then 13-year-old niece was targeted by a predator, groomed, and assaulted multiple times,” the crowdfunding listing said.

As Blaze News reported in October 2024, Spencer launched a political campaign to become the new Lonoke County Sheriff despite awaiting trial in connection with the alleged murder of Fosler.

The Arkansas secretary of state revealed that Spencer won more than 53% of the vote in last Tuesday’s three-person GOP primary, easily defeating incumbent Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley and David Bufford.

Spencer said of his victory, “Lonoke County sent a clear message last night, and we’re just getting started.”

“I’m running to restore accountability and integrity to the sheriff’s office, and the people of this county just showed they want the same thing,” the father said on his campaign Facebook page. “Let’s finish the job and build a safer, stronger Lonoke County together.”

Sheriff Staley congratulated Spencer by saying in a statement, “Tonight, the voters made their decision in the Republican Primary, and I respect the decision.”

Staley had been the Lonoke County Sheriff for the last 13 years.

Spencer — a husband, father, combat veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division, contractor, and farmer — now will face off against Democrat nominee Brian Mitchell Sr. in November.

Fox News noted that Spencer will be prohibited from serving as sheriff if he is convicted of the murder charge.

Spencer’s trial initially was scheduled for January but has been postponed. He has pleaded not guilty.

Spencer’s lawyers released a statement Friday: “Aaron did exactly what Arkansas law allows and exactly what any father would do: He protected his daughter and himself from harm.”

“We said from the beginning that Aaron was justified under Arkansas law in protecting his daughter, and every time the facts have come into focus, that conclusion has only become clearer,” the Lassiter & Cassinelli legal team proclaimed.

His lawyers also characterized Spencer’s supporters as “parents, veterans, and neighbors who watched the system fail and support a father who stepped up.”

“Lonoke County residents have rallied behind Aaron Spencer not just in his legal defense, but in his broader mission to bring accountability to a county government that has long operated without it,” the statement said.

The U.S. Dept. of Justice said it had reached a tentative deal in the antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and Live Nation Entertainment on Monday.

Critics of the event ticket outlet have accused the company of seeking a monopoly in the industry in order to artificially maintain high sales fees.

‘We will continue our lawsuit to protect consumers and restore fair competition to the live entertainment industry.’

“Live Nation Ticketmaster created a dominant conglomerate with an unprecedented amount of control over the live ticketing market, resulting in monopoly power it has used to entrench its position in the marketplace,” Mark Meador wrote in 2024 before being nominated to FTC commissioner.

On Monday, a senior Justice Department official said anonymously in a call with reporters that the deal was a “win-win for everybody.”

Live Nation has agreed to divest itself of 13 amphitheaters in the U.S. as a part of the deal, which also includes a $280 million fine.

The official said a double-digit number of states have signaled that they will agree with the deal.

New York Attorney General Letitia James was among those who said they would not go along with the deal and continue their own lawsuits against the companies.

“My attorney general colleagues and I have a strong case against Live Nation, and we will continue our lawsuit to protect consumers and restore fair competition to the live entertainment industry,” James said.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) ridiculed President Donald Trump over the deal in a post on social media.

RELATED: It’s time to join the fight and expose Ticketmaster

“Donald ‘Art of the Deal’ Trump settled the Ticketmaster-Live Nation antitrust case,” Warren wrote.

“If you love going to concerts, Trump’s deal means you’ll keep paying a ‘Ticketmaster Tax.’ And artists will keep getting bullied,” she added. “It’s time to break up Ticketmaster-Live Nation.”
