Iran Regime Change Would Be 'Best Thing', Trump Signals President Donald Trump continues to signal that he wants to see government overthrow in Iran, having told reporters Friday that regime change in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen" - at a moment he's also confirmed a second carrier group has been dispatched to the region. Speaking to reporters after visiting troops at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, Trump doubled down just hours after confirming he is sending the second carrier strike group from where it was operating in the Caribbean. "It seems like that would be the best thing that could happen," Trump said when asked about pushing for the removal of the Ayatollah and the Islamic Republic. "For 47 years, they’ve been talking and talking and talking." All of this also comes days after Trump hinted that another round of nuclear talks with Iran could be imminent. Those discussions have so far failed to materialize, and there are reports saying more Oman-based talks are slated for next week. "In case we don’t make a deal, we’ll need it," Trump said of the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier deployment. "It’ll be leaving very soon."

'Miss America' Org Dethrones Winner For Daring To Say 'A Woman Is A Woman' Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Kayleigh Bush, the 2024 Miss North Florida champion, has been stripped of her title and barred from competing in the Miss America nationals—all because she wouldn’t sign a revised contract that essentially erases the biological definition of womanhood to include men who’ve undergone surgeries. The Miss America organization demanded Bush affirm transgender participation, turning a century-old celebration of women into another battleground for gender ideology. Bush, standing her ground on basic truth, called it out as a betrayal of the pageant’s legacy. Miss North Florida winner Kayleigh Bush speaks out after her crown was revoked for saying that men CANNOT become women. "I didn't lose my crown because I broke a rule. I lost the crown because I was unwilling to rewrite the TRUTH." MEN CANNOT BE WOMEN pic.twitter.com/xKQFwF8aAM — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) February 11, 2026 Bush revealed the ordeal in a recent interview, explaining how she was pressured months after her win to accept new language in the contract. The rules now define eligible “women” as including those who’ve completed “Sex Reassignment Surgery via Vaginoplasty (from male to female).” Bush refused, stating flatly that she couldn’t agree to the idea that “a little boy could mutilate his body and become a woman.” “It was heartbreaking. It was confusing. It was disappointing,” Bush said. “Because Miss America has been honoring women for over 100 years, and now they can’t even define what a woman is.” She added that the organization had changed the contract four weeks after her victory, forcing her into a corner. “I didn’t lose my crown because I broke a rule. I lost the crown because I was unwilling to rewrite the truth,” Bush told TMZ. Her mother joined the fight, leading to weeks of appeals, emails, and even involvement from Liberty Counsel, a legal group defending religious freedo...
