Comic calls out Peter Dinklage: ‘You were in the most offensive movie to little people ever made’

A stand-up comedian says fellow little person Peter Dinklage is guilty of hypocrisy for criticizing Disney over the use of dwarf actors in the “Snow White” remake.

The box office bomb garnered few moviegoers but plenty of meme mockery when it launched amid constant denigration by its own star, Rachel Zegler.

‘It’s not up to his cultural standards of what a dwarf should do.’

Zegler turned off audiences by consistently explaining that the movie avoided an out-of-date story concept while progressing to a world where Snow White doesn’t need a man.

Heigh-ho, heave-ho

The movie’s universally reviled CGI seven dwarfs certainly didn’t help matters. Disney made the last-minute switch from live actors when “Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage lambasted the studio for daring to use actual dwarfs.

The backlash from dwarf entertainers was swift, expressing outrage that the uber-successful Dinklage essentially got at least seven actors fired.

Now stand-up comic and actor Brad Williams is calling out Dinklage for giving himself a pass when it comes to allegedly “offensive dwarf roles.”

Speaking with podcaster Chris Van Vliet, Williams said that while he was jealous of Dinklage’s talent, his disdain for the actor comes from his obvious hypocrisy that no one is speaking about.

“[Dinklage] came out and was really angry that the live-action ‘Snow White’ movie was going to use real dwarf actors, and he thought that was offensive. If someone else gets work, that’s really offensive to him,” Williams began. “It’s not up to his cultural standards of what a dwarf should do to be a respected member of this business.”

‘Toes’ before bros?

Meanwhile, said Williams, Dinklage’s own resume includes “the most offensive movie to little people ever made”: the abysmal 2002 film “Tiptoes.”

The film stars Gary Oldman as a dwarf, an effect achieved by the actor playing “on his knees” with his arms tied back.

“[He] doesn’t look like a little person at all,” Williams explained.

“You can’t be in ‘Tiptoes’ …. and then come out and try to take work from dwarf actors and say, ‘You can’t play the role of a dwarf because it’s considered offensive.’ To whom? To you?”

While joking that Hollywood is “not writing” many roles for little people, the comedian screamed that he would have loved to be in the movie.

“Yes! Literally the role I was born to play, genetically,” he laughed.

Shortchanged

Dinklage’s influence over the film did not please fellow dwarf actor Dylan Postl either, who said last year that Dinklage was putting at least a dozen little people out of work in what would have been the role of a lifetime.

“What gave him the voice for all of our community?” Postl asked.

Stuntmen and stand-ins could have been employed for the dwarf roles as well, Postl and Williams agreed.

Williams’ notion that “Tiptoe” “looks like a ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketch” was the exact sentiment shared by comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura when they brought up the film to one of its stars, Matthew McConaughey.

Watching the movie trailer for the first time more than 20 years later, McConaughey called it a “wild concept” that drew a lot of talent.

“We knew it was a soap opera,” he remembered, saying the cast was thinking, “If we straight-face this, it can be really funny and also might actually make you drop a tear.”

McConaughey and the comedians joked at the swing-and-miss nature of the trailer, agreeing that it “doesn’t look real.”

McConaughey assured the duo, however, that it was indeed a “real production” and he actually “showed up to work” to film that movie.

Marriage meltdown: Mom-of-two teacher busted for alleged child molestation of student; reportedly loses custody of kids

A Georgia teacher has been arrested and accused of sexually assaulting a child, police said. The teacher — a married mother of two — is now facing a divorce filing from her husband, according to court records.

Danielle Weaver, a 29-year-old teacher in Leesburg, turned herself in to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 18 after arrest warrants were obtained by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on Feb. 17.

‘During the course of the inquiry, investigators identified Weaver as the suspect and confirmed the alleged victim is a juvenile student enrolled at the school.’

Weaver was booked into the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Jail. She was later released on a $50,000 bond, according to WALB-TV.

Weaver was charged with child molestation and improper sexual contact by employee, agent, or foster parent, according to a statement from the GBI.

Georgia law defines child molestation as:

When such person does any immoral or indecent act to or in the presence of or with any child under the age of 16 years with the intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of either the child or the person; or by means of an electronic device, transmits images of a person engaging in, inducing, or otherwise participating in any immoral or indecent act to a child under the age of 16 years with the intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of either the child or the person.

Under Georgia law, those convicted of a first offense of child molestation face a minimum prison sentence of five years and a maximum of 20 years in prison.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in the statement that the Leesburg Police Department requested the GBI to “assist with an investigation into allegations of inappropriate contact between a teacher and a juvenile student at Lee County High School” on Feb. 4.

The GBI statement noted that officers with the Leesburg Police Department responded to a request from Lee County High School administrators to investigate the allegations against the teacher.

“Investigators identified Weaver as the subject and identified the victim as a juvenile student at Lee County High School,” the GBI stated.

WALB obtained the following statement from the Lee County School System:

We, at the ninth-grade campus, can confirm that there is an ongoing legal investigation involving law enforcement concerning the alleged conduct of a former staff member who is no longer working for the district. Upon discovering the allegations, school and district leadership acted immediately to ensure the safety and well-being of students, as well as to conduct a thorough investigation.

The investigation into the potential teacher sex scandal is “active and ongoing,” the GBI said. Once the investigation is complete, “the case file will be given to the Southwestern Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for prosecution,” according to the GBI.

According to court records reviewed by the New York Post, Weaver’s husband filed for divorce a day after her arrest. Weaver’s husband was granted temporary custody of their two daughters, according to court documents.

According to court filings, the husband is seeking a divorce because the marriage is “irretrievably broken.”

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Anyone with information regarding the case is urged to contact the GBI Regional Investigative Office at 229-931-2439 or the Lee County Sheriff’s Office at 229-759-6012. Anonymous tips can also be submitted by calling 1-800-597-TIPS (8477).

Iranian state TV hijacked with Trump, Netanyahu message urging citizens to ‘seize control’

Iran’s state broadcaster was taken over on Sunday, according to reports, by what appeared to be a coordinated cyber operation airing messages from President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging Iranians to rise up against their government.

The interruption struck feeds operated by Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, including its widely viewed TV3 channel. Viewers inside Iran recorded the moment on their phones, and the footage quickly spread across social media.

‘Unleash the glorious and prosperous future that is close within your reach.’

Video circulating online show clips featuring Trump and Netanyahu accompanied by Persian subtitles calling on citizens to take action against the ruling regime.

The disruption reportedly lasted roughly 30 seconds before the signal cut to black and regular programming resumed.

Video widely shared on X shows Trump at a podium wearing a “USA” cap, delivering remarks translated into Farsi. In the video Trump encouraged Iranian citizens to “seize control of your destiny” and “unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach.”

Netanyahu’s segment, according to clips and reposts, described what he called a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Iranians to change their government and cast off what he referred to as the yoke of tyranny.

Iranian authorities have not publicly confirmed the intrusion or identified who was responsible. There has been no official statement from IRIB acknowledging the disruption.

Conservative commentator Nick Sortor wrote that Iran State TV had reportedly been hacked and was showing a message from President Trump calling on Iranians to rise up against the regime. His post quickly amassed tens of thousands of likes and more than a million views.

Satellite monitoring groups and regional outlets reported the disruption based on viewer videos and feed anomalies, though independent verification of the source of the intrusion remains limited.

If confirmed as an external cyber operation, the intrusion would mark a rare instance of a foreign leader’s call for regime change appearing on a state-controlled television network inside an authoritarian country. During the Cold War, Western governments used outlets such as Voice of America to broadcast into countries behind the Iron Curtain. Interrupting a regime’s domestic television feed would represent a more direct form of information warfare than traditional cross-border broadcasting.

For now, Iranian state television has resumed normal programming.

‘Child killers, pedophiles, murderers’: DHS drops latest round of the ‘Worst of the Worst’ illegal aliens detained

Statutory rape, sexual abuse of a child, assault on a child causing death, and manslaughter are some of the criminal illegal aliens documented by the Deptartment of Homeland Security.

The Trump administration is continuing the mass deportation of illegal aliens despite challenges in court from illegal alien advocates and left-wing politicians.

‘ICE arrested child killers, pedophiles, murderers, and other despicable criminals across the country.’

“March 1, 2026, marked the 23-year anniversary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, DHS is finally putting Americans first,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis in an email release to Blaze News.

“Over the weekend, ICE arrested child killers, pedophiles, murderers, and other despicable criminals across the country,” she added.

Among those on the list was Miglan Elvin Alvarado-Martinez from El Salvador, who was convicted for assault on a child causing death in Los Angeles, California.

Fernando Melendez-Ramirez was convicted for first-degree criminal sexual penetration of a child under 13 years old in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is an illegal alien from Mexico.

Alfonso Santillan-Sanchez was convicted for third-degree rape, unlawful imprisonment, and second-degree assault with a deadly weapon in Yakima, Washington. He is originally from Mexico.

Here’s a list of the other cases from the release:

Rigoberto Lopez-Aguilar, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for identity theft: using to avoid arrest and driving while intoxicated in Fauquier County, Virginia. Rogelio Cruz-Ramirez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for dangerous drugs, assault, and possession of a weapon across Texas.Diego Mejia-Canales, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras, convicted for three counts of possession of child pornography in Louisa, Virginia.

DHS has reported that 622,000 illegal aliens were deported from the U.S. in 2025, and it estimates that over two million other illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported during that time.

Critics on the left have lambasted the administration over reports of detentions against some illegal aliens without violent criminal histories. DHS has pushed back with lists of the worst of the worst criminal aliens and also with government statistics.

In February 2026, DHS argued in a statement on social media that many illegal aliens deported without violent criminal convictions recorded in the U.S. have horrific convictions in other countries.

“We will stop at nothing to remove these public safety threats and Make America Safe Again,” the agency added.

Shannon Bream’s hidden suffering — and what God is teaching her through it

Fox News anchor Shannon Bream may look like the perfect picture of health on the outside, but she’s no stranger to illness and pain.

In a battle that nearly broke her physically, emotionally, and spiritually, Bream tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey about a mysterious nighttime episode that soon became a years-long ordeal that left her desperate for answers — and ultimately relying on faith when medicine seemed to fail.

“Several years ago, I woke up one night with excruciating pain in one eye, and it was bizarre. I’m stumbling around the bathroom looking for eye drops, I try like a compress, a washcloth on it,” Bream tells Stuckey.

“And I thought, what have I done while I’m sleeping? This is so strange. And kind of thought of it as a one-off. And that went on for a while. A few weeks later, a few months into it, I’m now getting this pain in both eyes,” she explains.

Bream got to the point where she couldn’t sleep and suffered from double vision and migraines on top of the eye pain.

When she went to a specialist, she only got worse.

“I’m now to where this, as crazy as this sounds, I’m carrying eye drops with me everywhere, at the gym, from machine to machine, even in the shower. Like water touching my eyes hurt. And there was just this mystery about it,” she tells Stuckey.

“I go back to the specialist and say to him, ‘I’m really struggling. I can’t sleep’ … and I just told him, ‘I’m kind of barely holding on right now, and I need some answers.’ And he said to me, ‘You know, you’re very emotional.’ And I always describe it as feeling like I needed somebody to throw me a life preserver, and he threw me an anchor. And I just went under,” she continues.

And this helplessness led to Bream feeling as though it “would be so nice to just go to sleep.”

“The Lord knows how much I’m struggling, just to wake up in heaven. Like, just be done with this. I can’t fathom another 40 years of my life living like this. There were times I couldn’t fathom 40 seconds. I mean, I just was in such excruciating pain all the time,” she explains.

But before Bream gave up, she prayed for another doctor — and God provided.

“When he came in, he said, ‘Oh, I know what you have.’ He hadn’t looked at my eyeballs, had done none of that. And it was this weird hopeful feeling that I really had not had in almost two years at that point,” Bream explains.

“It’s called Map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy, which is a mouthful,” she tells Stuckey, noting that while there’s no cure, surgery and therapy the doctor provided were helpful.

“So much bittersweet there because it really deepened my faith in so many ways. Made me much more empathetic and just grateful to be on the other side of that,” she adds.

‘Wild, Wild West’: Trump DOT moves to shut down 550+ ‘sham’ truck driver training schools after axing 6,500

The Department of Transportation has moved to shut down another 550 commercial driver’s license schools amid a new focus on crashes involving foreign nationals with U.S. non-domiciled CDLs.

‘For too long, the trucking industry has operated like the Wild, Wild West, where anything goes and nobody asks any questions.’

The DOT announced on February 18 that it discovered the “sham CDL training schools” violated the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s safety standards. The agency issued notices of proposed removal from the FMCSA’s national training provider registry.

The DOT found that some noncompliant schools used fictitious addresses and employed unqualified instructors who lacked the necessary licenses and permits for the vehicles they were teaching students to drive. In other cases, these schools provided training with vehicles that were not appropriate for the instruction being offered. Some training providers even admitted to investigators that they failed to meet their state’s requirements.

FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs said, “If a school isn’t using the right vehicles or if their instructors aren’t qualified, they have no business training the next generation of truckers or school bus drivers.”

One of the schools on the DOT’s proposed removal list reportedly provided training to school bus drivers.

The DOT informed Blaze News that these schools have not yet been closed, as they are still within the 30-day period to either provide evidence of compliance with federal safety standards or indicate their intention to complete the corrective actions specified by the FMCSA. However, the agency stated that it has already closed 6,500 CDL training schools.

The findings resulted from the FMCSA mobilizing over 300 investigators and conducting more than 1,400 on-site sting operations over five days. While 448 schools were issued a notice of proposed removal, 109 training providers voluntarily removed themselves from the FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry.

An additional 97 training schools remain under investigation for similar alleged violations.

“For too long, the trucking industry has operated like the Wild, Wild West, where anything goes and nobody asks any questions,” DOT Secretary Sean Duffy stated. “The buck stops with me. Under President Trump, my team is cracking down on every link in the trucking chain that has allowed this lawlessness to impact the safety of America’s roads. American families should have confidence that our school bus and truck drivers are following every letter of the law and that starts with receiving proper training before getting behind the wheel.”

Reporter for local CBS station goes viral after refusing to downplay pro-Trump rally

In a video posted to X, Vinny Martorano, a multimedia journalist for the Sinclair-owned Austin CBS affiliate, was handed a phone during a livestream at the Texas Capitol and shown what appeared to be a message from station management. According to the brief exchange caught on camera, the instruction was to avoid focusing on celebrations in the street, where demonstrators were chanting and thanking former President Donald Trump following the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

Martorano glanced at the message, looked back toward the crowd, and responded, “All right. Well, I am,” before continuing his report.

‘A large group of people in front of the Texas Capitol are celebrating the coordinated strike against Iran early this morning.’

The 30-second clip quickly spread across social media, racking up hundreds of thousands of views within hours. Many users framed the moment as evidence of media bias and praised Martorano for refusing to downplay a pro-Trump rally.

The alleged text Martorano received didn’t stop him from reporting what was happening.

When the livestream continued, Martorano opened his on-air report by noting that reactions across Austin were mixed.

“There are a lot of mixed opinions across Austin about the joint attack between the United States and Israel against Iran that happened earlier this morning,” Martorano said. “Some people, like this group behind me, are thanking Trump and the United States government for following through with this attack against Iran, while other people across the city say there needs to be more peace in the Middle East.”

Martorano made additional posts, covering the celebrations.

“A large group of people in front of the Texas Capitol are celebrating the coordinated strike against Iran early this morning,” one of his posts read. “Some people I spoke with moved to Austin from Iran.”

Eric Daugherty, chief content officer of Right Line News, praised Martorano for his honest reporting despite alleged pressure to do the opposite. “THAT’S how you do it!”

Catch up on what’s happening in Iran: US jets shot down, girls’ school bombed, and more

As events continue to unfold in the Middle East in the aftermath of Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion, military leaders have provided some crucial updates to the events of this weekend.

The United States and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran at approximately 1:15 a.m. ET on Saturday morning, according to a U.S. Central Command post summarizing the first 24 hours of the operation. Since the beginning of the operation, the attacks have continued consistently, and Iran has repeatedly retaliated.

‘May Almighty God watch over you, and may His providential arms of protection extend over you. GODSPEED WARRIORS — and keep going.’

On the first day of the attacks, President Donald Trump confirmed that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a series of strikes on Saturday.

“Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,” Trump wrote. “This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS. He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do.”

Trump announced on Sunday afternoon that he was informed that the U.S. had destroyed and sunk nine Iranian naval ships, “some of them relatively large and important.” He added that “we are going after the rest — They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also! In a different attack, we largely destroyed their Naval Headquarters.”

U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for the territory in which the conflict has unfolded, released a press statement on Monday morning regarding “an apparent friendly fire incident” in Kuwait.

The brief statement reported that three United States F-15E Strike Eagles, flying in supporting of Operation Epic Fury, were “mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses” during an active combat situation involving Iranian aircraft. The press release confirmed that all six aircrew ejected, were safely recovered, and are in stable condition.

Another major event includes the bombing of a girls’ elementary school in Iran. According to the New York Times, at least 175 people, presumably mostly children, were killed in a bombing attack in southern Iran.

“The Minab school incident has no comparison with any other incident,” said Pirhossein Kolivand, the head of Iran’s Red Crescent, in a video posted on social media on Sunday. “Even in Gaza,” he added, there had not been such a high number of students killed simultaneously, and he called the attack “a unique and bitter incident,” according to the New York Times.

The attack does not appear to be intentional, however. The school, NYT reported, is adjacent to a naval base of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. Further, the school was once connected to the naval base and was only disconnected from it in 2016.

On Monday morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth gave a direct message to the Joint Force. Hegseth said, in part, “We are not defenders anymore — we are warriors, trained to kill the enemy and break their will. History is watching. Be the force you swore to be: focused, disciplined, lethal, and unbreakable. We will finish this on America First conditions of President Trump’s choosing — nobody else’s. As it should be.”

“May Almighty God watch over you, and may His providential arms of protection extend over you. GODSPEED WARRIORS — and keep going,” Hegseth concluded the address.

The efficiency of the military operation has apparently even surprised the president.

In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Monday, President Trump detailed the success of the operation in decapitating Iran’s senior leadership. He explained that dozens of senior leaders were gathered for breakfast with the ayatollah, thinking it was safe because they were gathered in broad daylight, Fox reported.

“It was 49 leaders that were taken out. That was going to take four weeks, we thought, to get rid of the Iranian leadership. And it’s always, you know, if they hide, it’s a lot longer than four weeks. And they would have been hiding,” Trump told Baier. “We were shocked when we heard what was going on. We knew exactly what was happening and where.”

The operation, despite its apparent overwhelming success, has come at a tragic cost, however. U.S. Central Command reported that as of 7:30 a.m. ET, “four U.S. service members have been killed in action.” The number of deaths was previously three. “The fourth service member, who was seriously wounded during Iran’s initial attacks, eventually succumbed to their injuries.”

The identities of the fallen are being withheld at this time.

Additionally, trade is expected to be stalled due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response to the U.S.-Israeli strikes. The Independent reported Sunday that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping channel for crude oil, fuel, and liquefied natural gas.

Euronews reported that natural gas prices have already surged on Monday in response to the conflict. Further, QatarEnergy announced that it has decided to stop LNG production at one of the largest natural gas fields in the world, North Fields, citing the conflict.

Sara Gonzales infiltrates Democrats’ ‘People’s State of the Union,’ gets kicked out after trolling Joy Reid

In protest of President Trump’s State of the Union address, Democrats held their own “People’s State of the Union” featuring Joy Reid — and BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales was easily able to infiltrate it before getting kicked out after trolling the former MSNBC host.

“Now obviously, President Trump is the troller in chief, and I just try to learn from him like a young Padawan. And I just thought, you know what? I’m gonna do a little trolling as well,” Gonzales explains.

While there, Gonzales squeezed in some interviews with the audience — one of whom was dressed in an inflatable cat suit.

“So do cats, is their official position that they don’t like Donald Trump?” Gonzales asked the cat attendee.

“They definitely don’t like this guy,” the cat responded, holding a sign of JD Vance.

Another man was holding a sign that read, “MAGA is Putin’s tool.” When Gonzales asked how MAGA is Putin’s tool, the man responded “Figure it out. If you can’t figure it out, you’re part of the problem.”

“I mean, I feel like you would want to educate people as to exactly how that is,” Gonzales shot back, adding, “You don’t want to educate people? … How much you were paid to be here tonight?”

“Fifty bucks and a bottle of Crown Royal,” he answered.

“Really? Does George Soros pay that to you?” she pressed, before he yelled back, “Fascist maggot, get the f**k out of here.”

After briefly heckling Reid, who took the stage and immediately began celebrating Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Gonzales was kicked out of the event — missing a performance by Reid and another woman singing.

“You guys can hear the claps,” Gonzales comments, adding, “There’s nobody there.”
