Actor Dennis Quaid made an appearance at a MAGA rally in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Friday, February 27.
During the event, Quaid told the crowd:
"I love Corpus Christi and I love Donald Trump."
Trump then replied:
"You did a great job, thank you fellas, he's got a new movie coming out by the way."
Quaid, who recently portrayed former Republican President Ronald Reagan in the 2024 biopic Reagan, traveled to the MAGA rally aboard Air Force One along with Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz.
A photo of Quaid cozying up to the man repeatedly described by his own party as the most hated person in Washington D.C. was shared on Threads by journalist Yashar Ali.
He captioned the photo-op:
"Dennis Quaid is traveling to Texas aboard Air Force One with President Trump and Senator Ted Cruz."
Cruz also shared a video of Quaid sitting next to President Trump on the flight:







The photo prompted many responses, but none more notable than the one by Quaid's onscreen wife from the football-themed film Any Given Sunday.
Actor Lauren Holly, commented:
"At least I got to slap him real hard in Any Given Sunday."
People thought Holly's response was spot on.
Quaid endorsed Trump during the 2024 presidential election. During the campaign, Quaid called Trump his "favorite President of the 21st century."
In February, Quaid also lamented how far left American politics have shifted in recent years, although he wouldn't describe himself as a Republican.
He told Pastor Greg Laurie on The Greg Laurie Show that he's a "common-sense independent," although he skews "more conservative in my head."
In the same interview, he described President Trump as "really genuine" and gushed that he has "a lot of energy."
Five men have been President from January 1, 2000 until today: Democrats Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden and Republicans George W. Bush and Donald Trump.
@kendallybrown, a TikTok user and military wife, went viral after she published a TikTok video in which she let President Donald Trump's supporters know how much she "hates" them after Trump ordered an attack on various sites in Iran on Saturday morning.
Trump said that the U.S. military was "knocking the crap out of Iran" but the "big wave" of attacks is still yet to come, and has not ruled out putting boots on the ground, saying the war is progressing "way ahead of schedule."
Kendall posted an expletive-laden rant online condemning the president's supporters for launching the U.S. into another war in the Middle East, a move that places the life of her husband and "soulmate"—an active duty U.S. military member—in danger.
She said:
"If you voted for this, I want you to know that I f**king hate you. I mean that: I f**king hate you and that's not just me speaking out of fear or sadness as the spouse of an active duty service member although I am profoundly sad and incredibly f**king terrified right now."
"But I mean it when I say that if you voted for this s**t, I f**king hate you. And if you know me in real life and you're shocked because you're watching this and you're thinking to yourself, 'Well, I voted for this and I know Kendall and I know that she couldn't possibly hate me! She knows me!'—I want you to know it goes for you too."
"In fact, not only does it go for you too, I hate you twice as much as the strangers who voted for this. And you are f**king delusional if you think you get to look me in my eyes and tell me that you f**king care about me while actively cheering on the man who made it very f**king clear from the very beginning that he would send my husband, my soulmate, to die in a foreign country."
"This is monstrous. Monstrous. They struck a school building. More than 50 little girls are dead this morning because of the man you installed in the most powerful office in the world. That's on you and I don't know how you're going to live with yourself with that knowledge, probably an unhealthy dose of delusional and a lack of empathy for anyone else on this planet."
"But I can say that I don't have to live with you. I don't have to have you in my life. I don't have to have f**king monsters in my life. At this point, if you're still supporting this administration, you're a f**king monster."
She concluded:
"You are a monster, you are irredeemable trash, and I frankly do not care. The one thing I will say: I apologize to my mother for any shocked and upset calls she gets from people in my home town about this video but I'm not f**king sorry for making it because I want you to know."
"I want you to know how deeply my hatred for you runs right now for this s**t. F**k you."
You can hear what she said in the video below.
@kendallybrown I have never been more serious about any video in my life. If you supported this, I *hate* you. He made it very clear what his intentions were all along. You just either didn’t listen….or didn’t care. And for that? I hate you.
Her anger resonated with many.
We're guessing that the news from Iran has tons of people across the country cutting off friends and family members as we speak.
Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar clapped back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace attempted to insult her and Michigan Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib after President Donald Trump ordered an attack on various sites in Iran on Saturday morning that killed Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top officials.
Omar and Tlaib were the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Both have faced repeated attacks from members of the Republican Party tied to their religion, including being labeled part of the so-called “Jihad Squad,” a term suggesting they are sympathetic to extremism or seek to impose Islamist rule in the United States.
After news outlets and Iranian state media confirmed Khamenei had been killed in the offensive, Mace took to X to share a mocking "thoughts and prayers" post paired with a Fox News graphic announcing Khamenei's death:
"My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight. Sending them thoughts and prayers."
You can see her post below.
Afterward, Omar responded with the following:
"I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self."
You can see her post below.
Omar's post referenced a damning New York Magazine profile that revealed the erratic Mace runs a dysfunctional office and has created a hostile work environment.
Mace also likes to drink a fair amount and one unnamed ex-staffer said she would make her “poor scheduler” go out and buy bottles of tequila at 2 a.m. During her first term in office, Mace would also “command” staffers to “bring her liquor after midnight to keep parties going at her home.”
Of Mace's drinking and marijuana usage, one staffer said:
“She would definitely do it excessively. And again, not to say that most members don’t or most staff don’t, but it got to the point where it was an issue.”
People immediately got what Omar was putting down—and criticized Mace themselves.
Omar and Tlaib have faced more attacks from Republicans in the days since Trump's State of the Union address, in which he justified a potential conflict with Iran just days before ordering the strikes.
Trump later lashed out on his Truth Social account, calling Omar and Tlaib “lunatics” and suggesting they should be deported after the two Democrats heckled him during his address in the House chamber.
Omar said Trump should be “ashamed,” while Tlaib called him a liar; both shouted that he had “killed Americans” through his immigration policies. In response, Trump threatened to send Omar, who was born in Somalia, and Tlaib, born in Detroit, back to their supposed places of origin.
We've all heard the old saying, "You should never meet your heroes," and Christian Bale most certainly agrees.
The Dark Knight actor offered very candid advice to his fans during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, explaining that the last thing any of them should do is try to meet him in real life, because he'll only disappoint them in return.
Bale came to this conclusion through his own interests in his fellow actors, saying that he didn't want to try to force people to live up to the expectations he'd inevitably created in his mind for those he's seen on screen.
Bale claimed:
"I don't want to meet people I see in films. I don't want to meet my heroes."
"I like seeing them just as they are."
"I don't like it when people think that they're gonna live up to these expectations."
Understandably, Bale fans likely have some very high expectations. Not only has he been Batman for multiple films, which is a highly lauded and "tough guy" role, but he's also shown incredible commitment, wit, and prowess in roles like The Machinist and The Prestige, which some fans find more impressive.
Meanwhile, in real life, Bale has been referenced frequently as kind, polite, and subtly funny, all of which is a far cry from his roles as a villain or anti-hero.
Bale continued, saying of himself:
"I see it in people's eyes when they've watched my movies and loved them, and then they meet me, and I see in their eyes that terrible disappointment about who I really am."
"And it's true. What a disappointment!"
"That's me at my best in the movie. Never meet me."
"I never want to meet my heroes, either, because they're heroic in what they do. But give them a break. Nobody an be a hero all the time."
You can watch the video here:
Fans understood what Bale was saying, but some did not agree, choosing to hype him up instead.
It's easy for us to think less of ourselves and to believe that people overestimate us. This can be especially true for creative people, like actors, artists, and authors, who often have fans trying to figure out who they are through their art.
But when a stereotypically "tough guy" on screen turns out to be kind, it's actually refreshing and says more about their talent than it does about their qualities as a human being.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized after he claimed that the U.S. "didn't start this war" with Iran—just days after the Trump administration authorized an attack on various sites in Iran with the joint efforts of Israel over the weekend.
The war against Iran is already spreading beyond its initial battlefield. Iranian reprisals have struck Gulf states hosting U.S. bases—including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia—while Hezbollah has entered the fight, firing rockets into Israel and ending a month-long ceasefire.
Hegseth earlier said the mission is to destroy Iran’s missiles, production capacity, navy and security infrastructure and ensure it never develops nuclear weapons. But what comes after those goals are met remains unclear. Trump has urged Iranians to revolt, even as the regime reshuffles leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Trump said that the U.S. military was "knocking the crap out of Iran but the big wave of attacks is yet to come" and has not ruled out putting boots on the ground, saying the war is progressing "way ahead of schedule." He freely admitted that the purpose of the strikes was effectively regime change.
Speaking to the press, Hegseth said that Iran has “waged a savage, one-sided war” for “47 long years” even if the country’s leadership didn’t “declare it openly," adding:
“We didn’t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it. Their war on Americans has been our retribution against their Ayatollah and his death cult."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Hegseth framed the conflict by citing broad grievances—from anti-American rhetoric in Iran to attacks elsewhere in the region—but no one was buying his attempt to rewrite the narrative.
Trump sure seems happy to have started the war, regardless of whatever Hegseth might want people to believe.
Speaking to CNN's Jake Tapper, he said the U.S. has "got the greatest military in the world and we’re using it." Trump promised the U.S. military would hit Iran with even more of its might, saying that "the big wave hasn’t even happened" and that "the big one is coming soon.”
Despite this, Trump said Iran's retaliatory attacks on neighboring Arab countries have been "the biggest surprise," as if he expected Iran to stand idly by. He said the Iranians "were going to be very little involved and now they insist on being involved," adding that he would like not to see the fighting "go on" for more than four weeks.
