Comedian Rob Schneider Makes Case To 'Restore The Military Draft'
LOADING ERROR LOADINGComedian and MAGA devotee Rob Schneider laid out a plan for the U.S. to instate mandatory military service on Friday, telling people how it will help America’s youth “learn how truly great their country is.”In a lengthy X post, the star of “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo” wrote, “We must once again recommit ourselves to one Nation under God, indivisible. Therefore, we must restore the military draft for our Nation’s young people.”AdvertisementSchneider, who has no military record, proposed “each and every” 18-year-old should do two years in the armed forces or volunteer abroad. “Being a citizen of the United States gives us unparalleled Freedoms and opportunities that are the envy of the world,” his post went on. “We will leave this great and Free Nation in your good hands for your children and for your children’s children.”The last U.S. military draft call took place in late 1972 during the Vietnam War. Though the White House has said it is not considering drafting young Americans to fight the war in Iran, questions about how long the conflict will last and what it will take to reach a peace deal have raised questions about the possibility.

Olympian Caster Semenya Speaks Out Against IOC President Following Transgender Decision
LOADING ERROR LOADINGCAPE TOWN (AP) — Two-time Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya on Sunday expressed her disappointment with IOC President Kirsty Coventry over the decision to ban transgender women athletes from competing in women’s events at the Olympics. Semenya, who is South African, said she expected more from a woman leader like Coventry, who is from Zimbabwe and a fellow African. Before the 2024 Paris Olympics, three top-tier sports — track and field, swimming and cycling — excluded transgender women who had been through male puberty. It is unclear how many, if any, transgender women are competing at an Olympic level. The IOC said last week’s decision was not retroactive and did not apply to any grassroots or recreational sports programs.

‘JD or Marco?’: Iran war raises 2028 stakes as Trump weighs Vance vs. RubioMain Political Dynamics and 2028 Succession StakesBy Steve Holland and Nandita BoseThe Iran War and Its Impact on Trump’s LegacyWASHINGTON, March 29 (Reuters) - As the war in Iran threatens to imperil President Donald Trump's legacy, the political stakes also are rising for two of his top lieutenants: Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. "No amount of crazed media speculation about Vice President Vance and Secretary Rubio will deter this administration's mission of fighting for the American people," spokesman Steven Cheung said. The White House has downplayed any rift between the president and vice president. "Vice President Vance is proud to be a part of a highly effective team that, under President Trump’s bold leadership, has had incredible success in making America safer, more secure and more prosperous," a Vance spokeswoman said. Trump has floated the idea of Vance and Rubio running together, suggesting they would be hard to beat.
