President Donald Trump’s controversial America’s 250th anniversary includes a set of mobile museums carrying displays about the nation’s history and prominent figures. But one of the displays is angering the religious community because it falsely claims that Muhammad Ali disavowed Islam. “It is a stunning slight to the man — a beloved global icon, ambassador of peace, athletic legend, and cultural titan — and to Islam, a faith under siege by the Trump administration and others and for which Ali was a powerful envoy to mainstream America,” said former MS NOW analyst and producer Jonathan Larsen , describing the Freedom 250 organization’s so-called “Freedom Trucks.” “After converting to Islam, he changed his name to Muhammad Ali though he later disavowed the religion,” the Freedom 250 truck Muhammad Ali display claims. But Ali never disavowed, renounced, or converted from Islam, said Larsen. “He died a Muslim and reportedly had a Muslim funeral. Regardless, six of Trump’s trucks are c...

Hard right 'seized power' to spread extremist rhetoric under Trump: watchdog

Image
Hard-right groups have expanded their influence inside the Trump administration, a new report on hate and extremism by the Southern Poverty Law Center finds, according to The Guardian . A federal grand jury indicted the SPLC, a civil rights organization, on federal fraud charges earlier this year — months before the report’s publication. “2025 was a turbulent year marked by injustice, social upheaval and stark new threats from a hard-right movement rapidly establishing its power across institutions,” reads the director’s note to the SPLC’s “2025 Year in Hate and Extremism” series. “The hard right effectively seized the power of government as a messenger for extremist rhetoric and a tool to dictate policies affecting the everyday lives of millions of people.” The Trump administration “radically” shifted policy to favor hard-right and extremists, claims the report titled “ Empowering Extremists ,” which was published Tuesday as part of the series. The report found that the Trump admin...

Knick's legend Bill Bradley: Trump is ‘second fiddle’ to fans

Image
President Donald Trump may plan on drawing attention to himself by seeing the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden for the 2026 NBA Finals, but one former Knicks player and politician says he will never upstage Knicks fans. Trump is “second fiddle” to the main attraction because "the people are there to see these two teams play," former Sen. Bill Bradley (D-NJ) told CBS News on Monday . "And what is compelling about the teams are the values they display like unselfishness, discipline, resilience, the kind of things that we need more of in our world at large." Bradley spent 10 seasons in the NBA playing for the Knicks, winning two titles in the 1969-1970 and 1972-1973, which are also the last championships that the Knicks ever picked up. "If you think of your teammate first and yourself second, that's an important thing that the Knicks today and the Knicks in the past demonstrate," Bradley explained when asked what the current Knicks time has in co...

NewsNation host corners MAGA senator over Trump’s election lies

Image
One of President Donald Trump's staunchest MAGA allies lashed out after being cornered on his election lies in a NewsNation interview, insisting that there is "tons of evidence" of election fraud despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary. Trump has been rehashing his debunked claims about widespread election fraud this week, spurred on by conservative gloom over GOP candidate and ex-reality TV star Spencer Pratt losing out on a spot in the Los Angeles mayoral race's general election. Trump has also claimed that his controversial acting DNI nominee, Bill Pulte, will be doing his bidding and seeking arrests linked to his false claims about the 2020 election. One of Trump's most outspoken allies over the years has been Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson , who has proven himself to be an avowed promoter of conspiracy theories. He has also been closely involved with Trump's efforts to undermine the 2020 election results, with aides from his office allegedly being ...

Elite journalists aren't speaking truth to power — they're just pretending

Image
You have probably heard the news about journalist Scott Pelley. This week, CBS News, under the leadership of Bari Weiss, fired the longtime anchor and 60 Minutes correspondent. What you may not know about is his parting shot . Here's the section that stood out to me . New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism ... have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all. From a man of Pelley's standing, this is pretty much like a summary execution. In another time and place, it would be t...
