Chris Wallace and Shep Smith both claimed "something's wrong" with the president's version of events.
Fox News hosts Chris Wallace and Shep Smith on Friday poked holes in President Donald Trump’s explanation for calling off an airstrike on Iran on Thursday night.
Trump claimed on Twitter Friday morning that he’d aborted the mission, purportedly in retaliation for Iran’s downing of an unmanned U.S. spy drone, just 10 minutes before it was due to take place after suddenly learning that 150 people could die in the raid.“I talked to a former top national security official in an earlier Republican administration who says this just doesn’t add up,” he noted.
“In a sense, maybe that’s the biggest problem,” he added. “You can argue if you don’t want to strike, don’t strike. If you want to strike, do strike. But don’t send mixed messages that confuse not only your enemies but even your allies and people here in this country, as to what you’re going to do.

Minor-League Baseball Player Has No Idea Which Team's Farm System He's In AnymoreBURLINGTON, VT—Utterly disoriented after changing minor-league teams and cities several times in the past year, Vermont Lake Monsters pitcher Shane McCatty told reporters Saturday that he no longer had any idea which MLB team&39;s farm system he belonged to. "I might have been a Washington Nationals prospect at one point," said McCatty, who was uncertain if he had been traded, promoted, or demoted by the major-league parent club. "Maybe they switched affiliations or something. Anyone&39;s guess is as good as mine. I&39;m almost positive [the Lake Monsters&39; parent team] isn&39;t a mammal one. And it&39;s definitely not a bird or a sock. I was thinking the Arizona Snakes, but that doesn&39;t really sound right, either." McCatty reportedly concluded that the smartest thing for him to do right now was to focus on throwing baseballs, which he remained confident was one of his responsibilities.

Grandfather's Advice Pretty Bad For Someone Who's Lived That LongNORTH AUGUSTA, SC—According to household sources, the Sederquest family was astounded by the glut of terrible advice offered Sunday by grandfather Bill Sederquest, with several younger members marveling at the fact that someone who has been alive since 1937 could have so little wisdom to offer. "He kept telling me I didn&39;t have to be in love to get married, saying that as soon as I settled down with a woman and started having kids, I&39;d just get used to it," said 17-year-old grandson Cody, whose grandfather also told him it was important to drive everywhere, as it would show people he was able to afford a nice car and gasoline. "I know I&39;m supposed to be respectful, but I have no idea how to respond when he tells me that if a guy&39;s giving me trouble, I should punch him in the back of the head when he&39;s not looking." Family members said they were also dismayed to learn that grandmother Eileen plans to pass her awful recipes down to the next generation.

Bats Shooed Out Of Nation's Waterslide Tunnels In Preparation For SummerWISCONSIN DELLS, WI—In an annual ritual as regular as the arrival of summer itself, the nation&39;s waterslide tunnels were purged Monday of all the bats inhabiting them. "Go on, scram," the nation&39;s broom-wielding water-park employees said to the bats, which took up residence in the dim fiberglass tubes shortly after Labor Day last year. "Go make your nest somewhere else! It&39;s summertime. There are all kinds of kids who are gonna want to cool down, splash around, and enjoy themselves. So beat it!" Following the successful evacuation of the bats, the water parks&39; junior employees were sent into the bathrooms to clear out all the daddy longlegs and porcupines that had wintered there.
