Alex Jones Urges 25th Amendment for Trump Amid Iran Tensions

Alex Jones Urges 25th Amendment for Trump Amid Iran Tensions

Donald Trump's recent threats against Iran have alienated one of his former supporters, Alex Jones. The conspiracy theorist has called for invoking the 25th Amendment in response to the President's actions. Alex Jones Criticizes Trump's Iran Approach In an April 6 episode of his show, Alex Jones called for the use of the 25th Amendment against Trump. This followed comments from his guest, Robert Barnes, who said that "Trump has lost his mind." Barnes humorously suggested Vice President JD Vance should place Trump in a White House bunker due to escalating tensions with Iran. He warned that prolonging the conflict could lead to a major war. The 25th Amendment would involve Vice President Vance and Trump's Cabinet declaring him unfit for office. Trump could challenge this, requiring Congress to decide on the matter. Controversial Social Media Post The backlash comes after Trump's provocative post on Truth Social directed at Iran, threatening significant action if they did not comply with demands. However, he later retracted these threats, resulting in a temporary ceasefire. Originally reported by Apoorv Rastogi on Mandatory.

Mom Faces Horrific Charges for Allegedly Using Bear Spray on Kids

Mother Arrested for Allegedly Using Bear Spray on Children An Alabama woman, Christie Lashay Williams, was arrested after being accused of spraying her children with bear spray. The incident allegedly occurred in March in Leeds. Williams was charged with torture and willful abuse of a child who is a family member. She was taken into custody on April 6 according to Jefferson County jail records. Incident Details The police were alerted on March 8 about a young girl crying for help in Leeds, which is near Birmingham. Officers discovered the children had been sprayed with bear spray by their mother, according to law enforcement reports. The children were transported to Children's of Alabama hospital for treatment. Police found the spray allegedly used during a search of Williams’ home. Dangers of Bear Spray Bear spray contains red pepper oil intended to protect against aggressive bears. It can cause severe irritation and breathing issues in humans. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game advises treating it like a firearm due to its potential hazards. Bear spray can travel at over 70 mph, posing risks if inhaled or if it contacts the skin or eyes. The agency recommends immediate measures such as fresh air and medical assistance if exposed. Williams posted bail shortly after her arrest, with the bond set at $15,000. Authorities continue to investigate the case.
