Hegseth Promotes His “Holy War” and Denounces Journalists as Pharisees

### Key Points
- Pete Hegseth criticized the media, comparing journalists to Pharisees who opposed Jesus, accusing them of negativity toward Trump’s actions in Iran. 
- Hegseth used religious analogies, implying that doubting Trump equates to doubting Christ, which drew criticism for being offensive and manipulative. 
- Despite Hegseth’s media-bashing rhetoric, public opinion on the Iran war remains broadly opposed, and his messaging has not shifted polling results.

Trump's Monumental Arch to Himself https://dianeravitch.net/2026/04/17/trumps-monumental-arch-to-himself/ via @dianeravitch 

Donald Trump’s plan to construct a massive 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., has sparked significant criticism. The arch, designed as a monument to Trump himself, borrows elements from historical and authoritarian structures, including gilded statues and Roman-style motifs. Critics argue that the project is a tasteless and egotistical display that disrupts sacred vistas, dishonors democratic values, and undermines the symbolism of sacrifice and peace traditionally associated with American memorials.

### Key Points
- Donald Trump plans to build a 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery, which critics view as a self-aggrandizing project. 
- The design features a mix of borrowed elements, including gilded statues and Roman victory motifs, and disrupts symbolic views of significant landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery. 
- Critics, including Washington Post art critic Phillip Kennecott, compare the arch to authoritarian symbols and argue it dishonors the ideals of democracy and the sacrifices of veterans. 
- The arch's colossal scale and confused symbolism have been described as a loud but hollow statement of power and self-promotion. 

Money from the Middle East Will Underwrite Takeover of CNN and More https://dianeravitch.net/2026/04/17/money-from-the-middle-east-will-underwrite-takeover-of-cbs-cnn-and-more/ via @dianeravitch 

 Money from the Middle East Will Underwrite Takeover of CNN and More  Imagine this: The multi-billionaire Ellison family, which recently bought CBS, is currently the winner of a bidding war for Warner Brothers Discovery, which includes CNN and other news and entertainment outlets. The total deal is worth $111 billion. The Ellisons won’t buy Warner Brothers Discovery on their own. Some $24 billion of the $111 billion deal will be advanced by three Middle Eastern states: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. 

### Key Points

- The Ellison family, recent buyers of CBS, is set to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery, including CNN, for $111 billion, with $24 billion funded by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. 

- Saudi Arabia is contributing $10 billion, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the impact on media independence and content. 

- The deal has sparked ethical and regulatory concerns, with calls from U.S. Democrats for Treasury Department intervention, though action is unlikely under the current administration. 

- If Democrats win the upcoming election, they may investigate the deal further, and the acquisition still requires approval from U.S. states and the European Union.

TRUMP IN THE NEWS TODAY

As of today, April 18, 2026, the news cycle is dominated by a major shift in the ongoing conflict with Iran and several significant domestic policy moves.

Here are the top 10 news stories regarding President Trump:

1. Breakthrough in Iran Negotiations

President Trump announced that the United States and Iran are "very close" to a deal to end the seven-week war. He expressed optimism following phone discussions, stating that Iran has agreed to an unlimited moratorium on its nuclear program.

2. Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz

In a major de-escalation, Tehran has declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely open" for commercial shipping. Trump welcomed the news but clarified that the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports will remain in force until a final agreement is signed.

3. The "Nuclear Dust" Controversy

During a Turning Point Action event in Phoenix, Trump claimed that any peace deal would involve U.S. excavators entering Iran to remove "nuclear dust" (buried material from previous B2 bomber strikes). Iran’s Foreign Ministry quickly issued a rebuttal, stating no enriched uranium would be transferred out of the country.

4. Lebanon Ceasefire Holds

The President confirmed that the 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is holding. He emphasized that the U.S. is working to "straighten out" Lebanon and prevent further bombing campaigns in the region.

5. FY 2027 Budget Proposal Released

Trump’s $111 billion budget request for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) signals a massive structural shift. It proposes a 12.5% decrease in HHS funding while significantly ramping up spending for defense and immigration.

6. 100% Tariffs on Pharmaceuticals

A new Executive Order has levied 100% tariffs on patented pharmaceutical products and ingredients. This follows a Section 232 investigation claiming that reliance on imported medications poses a national security risk.

7. Article of Impeachment Against Pete Hegseth

House Democrats have filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging "high crimes and misdemeanors." This comes amid the heavy $11.3 billion price tag for the first week of the Iran military campaign.

8. Pipeline Expansion in North Dakota

The White House issued several presidential permits authorizing Enbridge Energy to operate and maintain multiple pipeline facilities at the U.S.-Canada border in North Dakota and Michigan, part of the administration's "energy dominance" strategy.

9. Clash with the Vatican

A public rift has emerged between the Trump-Vance administration and Pope Leo. Following critical comments from the Pope regarding U.S. foreign policy, Trump posted an AI-generated image comparing his own struggles to historical religious figures, further fueling the "Brooks and Capehart" debate in the media.

10. Massive Personnel Shifts at HHS

The administration is moving forward with a plan to replace the current HHS structure with a new "Administration for a Healthy America" (AHA). This includes a major reorganization of the CDC and the elimination of several public health programs, such as the Prevention and Public Health Fund.
