Amazon cancels ‘Melania’ movie for Oregon cinema after sign backfires
A theater in Oregon claimed Amazon asked it to stop screening the film “Melania” after the theater joked about the movie on its marquee while promoting the release. The Lake Theater & Café in Lake Oswego, Oregon, advertised the film using lines referencing the first lady.
First reported by The Oregonian, the marquee included references such as, “To defeat your enemy, you must know them. Melania starts Friday,” a quote attributed to Sun Tzu, author of “The Art of War.” Another line read, “Does Melania wear Prada? Find out Friday.”
The theater later took to Instagram to announce that someone from Amazon had contacted them, saying the studio was unhappy with the marketing and wanted the film pulled from the cinema.
“Got a call that the higher ups (i.e., at Amazon) were upset with how our marquee marketed their movie (i.e., Melania), that, per them, Sunday would be its last day here,” the theater wrote on Instagram Monday.
THE ONE WORD MELANIA TRUMP INSISTED ON ADDING TO THE PRESIDENT’S INAUGURATION SPEECH
After the film was pulled at Amazon’s request, the theater shifted its marquee to comment on the situation, writing: “Amazon called, our marquee made them mad. All Melania shows canceled. Show your support at Whole Foods instead :(“
Another marquee added: “Join Amazon Prime for free 2-day shipping.”

The theater said it was flooded with emails and voicemails from both supporters of the film and those opposed to it being shown. They also received pushback from viewers who felt the marquee was mocking the first lady.
Writing online, the theater said people were “wondering why the hell we had Melania here, or disdaining our disparaging of her.”
The theater also noted that after news of the film booking became public, its online reviews suffered, though many were eventually taken down by Google.
One review remained visible as of Wednesday: “Loved this theater until now. Deeply disappointed the business is supporting an administration that kills innocent Americans in the street. I will never be a patron again.”
Theater owner Jordan Perry released a statement on the theater’s website explaining his decision to show the film.

“I do not view our film programming as political. I try to choose films for the community that they want to see,” Perry said, noting the theater serves a diverse audience.
He said he thought showing the film would be “funny” and described the current film marketplace as a “desert” for new releases. While acknowledging that many of the theater’s patrons are liberal, Perry said the goal was to remain inclusive.

Johnson quotes Scripture after being challenged with Pope’s rhetoric on migrants
House Speaker Mike Johnson made a lengthy biblical defense of protecting one’s own border Tuesday after being questioned about recent commentary by Pope Leo.
During a press conference on Capitol Hill, a reporter spoke to Johnson, saying, “Pope Leo has cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in Scripture?”
While Pope Leo specifically denied that the church pushes for “open borders” in November, he has also advocated for the humane treatment of migrants. In October, he referred to the Gospel of Matthew 25:31-40 and noted in his Apostolic Exhortation DILEXI TE, “The Church has always recognized in migrants a living presence of the Lord who, on the day of judgment, will say to those on his right: ‘I was a stranger, and you welcomed me.’”
Johnson responded to the reporter by saying he would post a response on social media later in the day but would give a summary right then and there.
FEDERAL JUDGE’S ‘UNHINGED’ ORDER IN MIGRANT CASE IGNITES REPUBLICAN FURY, IMPEACHMENT DEMAND
“Borders and walls are biblical — from the Old Testament to the New, God has allowed us to set up our civil societies and have separate nations,” Johnson said. “Immigration is not something that’s frowned upon in Scripture. In fact, it’s welcomed. We are to welcome the sojourner and love our neighbor as ourselves. But what’s also important in the Bible is that assimilation is expected, and anticipated, and proper. When someone comes into your country, comes into your nation, they do not have the right to change its laws or to change its society. They’re expected to assimilate. We haven’t had a lot of that going on.”
He went on to argue that there is a difference between the expectations of individuals within a society versus the rulers who maintain the stability of society itself.
“When people cite passages out of the Old Testament, I say, ‘Well, you’re supposed to take care of the sojourner and the neighbor and treat them as yourself, welcome them in.’ Yes, but that is an admonition to individuals, not to civil authorities. The civil authorities are given authority under Scripture to maintain order. Romans 12 — you want to do this?
“Romans 13 says that the civil authorities are God’s agents of wrath to bring punishment upon the wrongdoer. And it says, ‘If you do right, you have no fear of the civil authorities, but those civil authorities are necessary.’ It’s a calling. It’s a calling to maintain order in society. And we have not had that.”

Johnson argued that numerous criminal migrants have been allowed to enter the country in recent years, stating that society has a biblical right to stop such people from entering.
“Sovereign borders are biblical and good and right, and they’re just. Because it’s not because we hate the people on the outside. It’s because we love the people on the inside. We should love our neighbors as ourself, as individuals, but the civil authority and the government has to maintain the law, and that is biblical, and it’s right, and it’s just, and I’m happy to have this lengthy debate with anybody any time they want to.”
On his X account, Johnson later that day wrote, “In the press gaggle following today’s vote, I was asked to defend the Biblical case for border security and immigration enforcement. I did so, and then promised to post a longer explanation that I drafted during the Biden Administration.”
In the essay, drafted during the Biden administration, Johnson argued that Scripture “teaches that God ordained and created four distinct spheres of authority — (1) the individual, (2) the family, (3) the church, and (4) civil government — and each of these spheres is given different responsibilities.
“Indeed, the civil authorities are specifically charged to do justice, to ‘bear the sword,’ and to serve as “the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil” (Rom. 13:1-4, KJV). As the Bible warns: ‘When a crime is not punished quickly, people feel it is safe to do wrong’ (Ecc. 8:11, TLB),” Johnson wrote.
“Read in its context, the passage in Leviticus 19 makes perfect sense. Showing love and kindness to a stranger was not a command given to civil government, but instead to individual believers. That same principle is emphasized in the New Testament. When Jesus spoke of embracing, caring, and providing for ‘the least of these’ (E.g., Matt. 25:31-40), His instruction was given to His disciples, and not the local authorities.”

Johnson concluded by arguing that when the left uses Scripture to support “open borders” out of context, they should be met with factual correction. He noted that while Christians are called to selfless service and love, they are also tasked with supporting a just government. According to Johnson, justice and mercy work together, as God requires both. He maintained that advocating for strong border security is consistent with Christian values and biblical teaching.
Missouri man killed after act of kindness; woman allegedly murders him after ride
A Missouri man who offered a ride to a woman who asked for help getting to a warm shelter was gunned down over the weekend, according to reports.
William Palmer was found shot early Sunday and pronounced dead at the scene, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said.
Brittany Rivoire, 36, is accused of fatally shooting Palmer and then stealing his truck after he stopped to offer her a ride, First Alert 4 reported.

Palmer’s fiancé, Riyen Jones, told the news outlet he was known for picking up people who needed rides.
“I used to tell him all the time not to pick up people off the side of the road anymore. He did it a lot. If he saw someone walking, he was picking them up and taking them as far as he could,” Jones said.
Palmer was collecting scrap metal Saturday night when he encountered Rivoire, Jones said.

Palmer’s friend was also in his vehicle when he picked up Rivoire, but got out after becoming concerned about her behavior, investigators said.
“As far as we know, she asked him at a gas station to take her to a warming shelter because she was cold,” Palmer’s fiancé, Jones, said.
“For somebody to take him for granted when all he was doing was helping her and then to do it to basically take his truck is … I can’t wrap my head around it,” she added.

Rivoire faces multiple charges, including first-degree murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, armed criminal action and first-degree tampering with a motor vehicle.

Thousands arrested in Minnesota crackdown as admin vows we won’t ‘back down’
EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that federal law enforcement officials have arrested more than 4,000 illegal immigrants in Minnesota since launching Operation Metro Surge in late 2025.
“President Trump’s commonsense immigration enforcement policies are delivering the public safety results the American people demanded, with more than 4,000 dangerous criminal illegal aliens already arrested in Minnesota since Operation Metro began,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital on Wednesday in response to DHS’ announcement.
“Democrats opened our borders and allowed vicious criminals, including murderers, rapists, gang members, and terrorists, to invade our communities. President Trump is reversing that horrific damage and removing these threats from our country,” she continued.
Operation Metro Surge is an ongoing immigration crackdown operation that focused on the Twin Cities, as well as Minnesota at large, as part of the administration’s ongoing mission to deport illegal immigrants, most notably violent offenders.

DHS shared a handful of arrests made on Tuesday alone, including: a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador with a criminal history of sexual conduct with a minor and domestic assault; a criminal illegal alien from Honduras convicted of domestic abuse, disorderly conduct and driving while intoxicated; a criminal illegal alien from Mexico arrested for assault/domestic battery, larceny, driving under the influence and possession of drugs; and a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador convicted of trespassing.
“Despite coordinated attacks of violence against our law enforcement, our officers have made more than 4,000 arrests of illegal aliens including murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists in Minnesota since Operation Metro Surge began,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
“We need sanctuary politicians to cooperate with us by notifying us before releasing public safety threats back onto the streets to commit more crimes and create more victims. We will not back down from our mission to remove criminal illegal aliens from American neighborhoods.”
Federal law enforcement converged on Minnesota in late 2025 and early 2026 as massive welfare and social services fraud schemes came to light. The schemes have led to dozens of arrests, most of whom are from the state’s large Somali population.

The immigration crackdown in the state sparked agitators and protesters to take to the streets, which included chaotic confrontations, including agitators storming into a church in the Twin Cities and disturbing Sunday services. Two Americans have been fatally shot amid protests by federal law enforcement in two separate cases in the Twin Cities, heightening criticisms against the Trump administration that the federal government allegedly had blood on its hands.
President Donald Trump deployed border czar Tom Homan to the Twin Cities in January, following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents, to continue the operation.
The border czar announced Wednesday that 700 law enforcement officers would depart the city as he works for a “complete drawdown” of federal presence while local officials increasingly work with the administration. Most notably, local jails are communicating with federal officials regarding illegal immigrants currently in custody, allowing for speedy arrests at the jail as opposed to within communities.

“We currently have an unprecedented number of counties communicating with us now and allowing ICE to take custody of illegal aliens before they hit the streets. Unprecedented cooperation,” Homan said Wednesday. “I’ll say it again: This is efficient, and it requires only one or two officers to assume custody of a criminal alien target, rather than eight or 10 officers going into the community and arresting that public safety threat.”

Leavitt told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that Homan’s drawdown plan follows the operation’s success in arresting the more than 4,000 illegal aliens from Minnesota.
“At President Trump’s direction, Tom Homan’s commitment to draw down forces in Minneapolis today follows these achievements and the new, unprecedented cooperation from state and local officials in Minnesota. Commitments like these from elected officials to work with the president and federal law enforcement produce tremendous outcomes that help keep Americans safe,” Leavitt said.
‘Can you shut him up?’: Waters erupts at Bessent in heated exchange over tariffs
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clashed on Wednesday over President Donald Trump’s economic agenda, with the irate congresswoman asking at one point if someone could “shut him up.”
The fiery exchange occurred during Bessent’s testimony before the House Financial Services Committee. Waters, the committee ranking member, posed a series of questions about the inflationary impact of Trump’s tariffs on American consumers — and demanded a yes-or-no answer.
TRUMP’S ECONOMIC WINS ARE REAL — NOW HE NEEDS TO CONVINCE THE COUNTRY
Waters: So I ask you, Secretary Bessent, will you be the voice of reason in this administration and urge President Trump to stop waging a war on American consumers, harming housing affordability, and putting the economy at risk? Yes or no. You don’t have to explain.
Bessent: Representative—
Waters: Will you be the voice of reason? Will you be the voice of reason?
Bessent: A study from Wharton University has shown—
Waters: Reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time. Mr. Chair, will you let him know when I ask to reclaim my time—
Rep. French Hill, R-Ariz., House Financial Services Committee chairman: The time does belong to the gentlewoman from California.
A COMPLETE TIMELINE OF TRUMP’S TARIFF IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ACROSS THE GLOBE
Bessent: Ten to twenty million immigrants—
Waters: Can you shut him up?
Bessent: What about the housing stock for working Americans? And can you maintain some level of dignity?
Hill: The gentlewoman’s time has expired.
Waters: No, my time has not expired.
Hill: Your time has expired. The gentleman—
Waters: The gentleman took up my time. I think you should recognize that, Mr. Chair.
Hill: The gentlewoman’s time has expired.

Bessent’s testimony comes as the Trump administration awaits a Supreme Court ruling on whether some of the trade duties imposed in 2025 exceeded presidential authority, a decision that could have broad implications for current tariff actions.
Tariffs are taxes levied on imported goods. Although they are paid by companies at the border, the costs are often passed along through higher prices, leaving consumers to bear much of the burden.
Restaurant chain announces it’s closing all of its stores after nearly 30 years in operation
Darden Restaurants announced on Tuesday that it will close its Bahama Breeze chain after nearly 30 years in operation.
The Orlando-based company said it will permanently shut down 14 of Bahama Breeze’s 28 restaurants, while converting the remaining locations into other Darden brands.
Restaurants designated for permanent closure will continue operating through April 5, Darden said.

The conversion of the remaining 14 locations is expected to take 12 to 18 months. Those restaurants will continue operating until any temporary closures are required during the conversion process, the company said.
Darden did not specify which brands the Bahama Breeze locations will be converted into. The company’s portfolio includes chains such as Olive Garden, Yard House, Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Eddie V’s, among others.
THIS RESTAURANT IS THE BEST PLACE TO EAT IN THE US, ACCORDING TO YELP
“The company believes the conversion locations are great sites that will benefit several of the brands in its portfolio,” Darden said in a press release. “Going forward, the primary focus will continue to be on supporting team members, including placing as many as possible in roles within the Darden portfolio.”
The Bahama Breeze locations slated for permanent closure are in Delaware, Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, Darden said.

Shaboozey clarifies Grammy speech after MLK daughter joins online outcry
Music artist Shaboozey responded to backlash over remarks he made about immigration while accepting a Grammy Award on Sunday. Accepting the award, the country singer said, “Immigrants built this country,” dedicating the honor to immigrants and their children.
Shaboozey, whose real name is Collins Obinna Chibueze, won the Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for ‘Amen,’ his collaboration with Jelly Roll.
After his speech, social media users said his remarks downplayed the role of Black people and enslaved people in building the nation.

Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., responded to this speech Sunday, writing on X: “Are people including enslaved Africans, descendants of those enslaved, and Black people whose unjust, low-wage labor sustained the economy in the 1800s/1900s as immigrants when they say ‘immigrants built this country’?’”

Pentagon weighs response after Iranian speedboats surround American vessels
For weeks, President Donald Trump has promised the Iranian people that “help is on the way” while positioning a massive U.S. naval armada within striking distance of Iran’s coast. But as the White House pivots toward a diplomatic summit in Istanbul Friday, analysts warn the president may face a growing credibility test if threats are not followed by action.
By threatening “speed and fury” against a regime accused of killing thousands of protesters, Trump has drawn a red line — one that analysts say echoes President Barack Obama’s 2013 warning over Syria’s use of chemical weapons. Obama ultimately chose diplomacy over military strikes, a decision critics said weakened U.S. credibility and emboldened adversaries, while supporters argued it avoided a broader war and succeeded in removing large portions of Syria’s chemical arsenal. Trump now faces a similar debate as he weighs whether to enforce his own warnings against Iran.
Trump’s envoys are set to meet Friday in Istanbul with Iranian officials to press for an end to Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, curbs on ballistic missiles and a halt to support for proxy groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah — terms Tehran has shown little public sign of accepting. Trump has also demanded an end to the regime’s violent crackdown on protesters.
But signs of strain are already emerging around the talks.
Iran is now seeking a change in venue to Friday’s meeting — wanting it to be held in Oman, according to a source familiar with the request — raising questions about whether the summit will proceed as scheduled or produce substantive progress.
TRUMP CREDITS HALTED IRAN EXECUTIONS FOR HOLDING OFF MILITARY STRIKES
Tensions on the ground have continued to rise even as diplomacy is pursued. This week, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said American forces shot down an Iranian drone after it aggressively approached the USS Abraham Lincoln while the aircraft carrier was operating in international waters in the Arabian Sea. CENTCOM said the drone ignored de-escalatory measures before an F-35C fighter jet downed it in self-defense.
No U.S. personnel were injured.
Hours later, Iranian naval forces harassed a U.S.-flagged, U.S.-crewed commercial tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to CENTCOM. Iranian gunboats and a surveillance drone repeatedly threatened to board the vessel before the guided-missile destroyer USS McFaul intervened and escorted the tanker to safety.
CENTCOM warned that continued Iranian harassment in international waters increases the risk of miscalculation and regional destabilization.
Despite weeks of delay, foreign policy analysts say the pause does not mean military action has been taken off the table.
TRUMP SAYS IRAN ALREADY HAS US TERMS AS MILITARY STRIKE CLOCK TICKS
“If you just look at force movements and the president’s past statements of policy, you would have to bet on the likelihood that military action remains something that is coming,” Rich Goldberg, a former Trump National Security Council official now at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital.
“I don’t think the window is closed,” said Michael Makovsky, president of the Jewish Institute for National Security of America. “If the president doesn’t do something militarily, it would damage his credibility.”
The standoff is reviving comparisons to Obama’s 2013 decision not to carry out military strikes in Syria after warning that the use of chemical weapons would cross a U.S. “red line.” The moment became a touchstone in debates over American deterrence.
“They have challenged the president now to try to turn him into Obama in 2013 in Syria, rather than Donald Trump in 2025 in Iran,” Goldberg said.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Obama’s office for comment.
Trump has publicly encouraged Iranian protesters to continue their demonstrations, telling them in early January to “KEEP PROTESTING” and promising that “HELP IS ON ITS WAY.”
U.S. officials, however, have previously said the pause reflects caution rather than retreat, pointing to concerns about retaliation against American forces and uncertainty over who would lead Iran if the regime were significantly weakened. Trump himself raised those questions in January, publicly casting doubt on whether any opposition figure could realistically govern after decades in exile.
“As for the president, he remains committed to always pursuing diplomacy first,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday. “But in order for diplomacy to work, of course, it takes two to tango, you need a willing partner to engage.”
“The president has always a range of options on the table, and that includes the use of military force,” she added.
TRUMP SAYS GULF ALLIES KEPT IN DARK AS US NEGOTIATES WITH IRAN: ‘CANT’ TELL THEM THE PLAN’
Some analysts reject the premise that the administration has meaningfully slowed its military posture.
“I don’t think they’ve paused action,” said Gregg Roman, executive director of the Middle East Forum. “The more assets that the president deploys to the theater gives the U.S. more maneuvering room, rather than less.”
Roman pointed to continued U.S. force movements into the region, arguing the buildup signals preparation rather than restraint.

Trump phones Savannah Guthrie after offering federal help in mom’s search
President Donald Trump called NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday as the search for her missing mother intensifies, Fox News Digital learned.
A White House official confirmed to Fox News Digital on Wednesday afternoon that Trump called and spoke with Guthrie. The official did not provide additional details on the call.
Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing from her Arizona home and was last seen on Saturday.
The president had offered additional federal support amid the search for the elderly woman on Tuesday, adding that he would call Savannah Guthrie.

“I think it’s terrible,” Trump told the media on Tuesday. “I’m going to call [Savannah Guthrie] later on. I think it’s a terrible thing. … Very unusual situation, but we’re going to find out.”
Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her Tucson home at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department. Sheriff Chris Nanos said on Monday that “we do, in fact, have a crime,” but has not provided additional details.
“Blood drops” were found leading from the entryway of the home toward the driveway, a police source previously told Fox News Digital.
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE LEANS ON FAITH, SHARES EMOTIONAL MESSAGE ABOUT MISSING MOM AS SEARCH CONTINUES
“At this point, investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case. Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie,” Nanos said on Wednesday. “Detectives are working closely with the Guthrie family. While we appreciate the public’s concern, the sharing of unverified accusations or false information is irresponsible and does not assist the investigation.”
Trump’s phone call to Savannah Guthrie comes after the pair sparred during the 2020 election cycle, when Guthrie moderated a town hall event with the president. At one point, Guthrie accused Trump of “sending a lie” to his followers about Usama bin Laden’s death, comparing him to “someone’s crazy uncle.”
“I always got along very good with Savannah,” Trump said of Guthrie on Tuesday from the White House despite the pair’s previous back and forth.

“Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant. Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment,” it continued. “We need you.”
