On Wednesday's 'The Five,' Democratic co-host Jessica Tarlov drew sharp criticism for focusing on negatives in Trump's February 24 address, including his mention of Iryna Zarutska, stabbed to death in Charlotte.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died on February 28, 2026, during U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran targets, prompting posts about a horrific practice: virgin female prisoners coerced into 'temporary marriages' with guards before execution to bar them from paradise.
