Iranian Prez Feared Dead as Rescuers Locate Remains of Crashed Helicopter
Anadolu/Anadolu via Getty ImagesA search-and-rescue team looking for the remains of a crashed helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi found the heavily damaged aircraft early Monday morning—but reported “no signs of life” were detected in the area and that “no survivors” had been found, according to state media.No official death announcement has been made as of midnight Eastern Time, though one official told Reuters that Tehran was rapidly losing hope that Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, and the seven other people on board were still alive—especially given the harsh terrain and freezing conditions in the northern mountains near the country’s border with Azerbaijan, where the helicopter went down.“President Raisi’s helicopter was completely burned in the crash ... unfortunately, all passengers are feared dead,” the official said.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Kid Rock Waves Gun in Rolling Stone Journalist’s Face: Report
Stephen J. Cohen/Getty ImagesBob Ritchie, a.k.a Kid Rock, will readily admit he lives in his own world—“and it’s great,” as he insisted to a Rolling Stone journalist in a recent interview. The rules of that world, though, apparently dictate that Ritchie can do as he likes, including get “belligerently” drunk in front of someone with a tape recorder. After switching from white wine to bourbon and Coke midway through a sitdown with Rolling Stone, the MAGA-loving rocker began “shouting” at the journalist, David Peisner, who reports that his subject proceeded to pull out a handgun and wave it in his face. “And I got a fucking goddamn gun right here if I need it!” he writes Ritchie yelled. “I got them everywhere!” To be fair, the preceding two hours of the interview were also pockmarked with bizarre exchanges, including a moment where Ritchie railed against immigrants before crying out “9/11!”Read more at The Daily Beast.

The Podiums Trump—and His Rivals—Should Use to Avoid Another ‘Senior Moment’
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/GettyMost podiums don’t jiggle jiggle—they stand firm and proud, as much a testament to American craftsmanship as they are a metaphor for American exceptionalism, ready at a moment’s notice to shield a speaker’s lower half from a rapt audience, no doubt as spellbound by the lectern’s lacquer finish as its lecturer’s sparkling rhetoric.But one errant podium wiggle wiggled for sure at one of Donald Trump’s recent stops along the campaign trail, bringing shame down upon the good name of soapboxes everywhere as the former president leaned slightly too hard on it mid-speech, causing it to buckle under his weight.“What a crappy contractor this was,” Trump quipped to laughter at the annual Minnesota GOP dinner, observing that his podium “keeps tilting to the left—like too many other things.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
