Adam Carolla thinks some people simply pay President Donald Trump too much mind.

The comedian spoke about certain public figures’ apparent fixation on Trump during a conversation with Dr. Drew Pinsky on a recent episode of “The Adam & Dr. Drew Show,” saying that some politicians and celebrities have given up too much just to argue with the president.

“You’re a politician, and you think, ‘I’m going to make change, and I’m going to stand up for this and I’m going to fix that,’ and all you’re doing is fighting with Trump,” he said.

“That’s all you do. Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass – their full-time job is just fighting Trump … it’s no longer what they want to do, it’s ‘what does Trump want to do?’, then ‘I’m going to go fight Trump.'”

Pinsky agreed, and Carolla continued, “Rosie O’Donnell, you wanted to do comedy at some point, right? Now you sit and you fight Trump. And Kathy Griffin, you wanted to do comedy, and you both could do it at a high level, but you threw it all away to fight Trump. Could you imagine?”

The “Man Show” host remarked, “It’s like, I didn’t like Obama, but I didn’t give up on life to fight Obama.”

Pinsky said that the kinds of people Carolla mentioned might not have a person in their lives who would say, “Hey, hey, what are you doing?” because otherwise, he suggested, “it would be hard to keep doing it month after month.”

Carolla theorized that that kind of person “would be expelled from that person’s life if they started asking questions.”

He imagined a conversation between O’Donnell and this kind of friend, in which the theoretical friend asks O’Donnell what she has planned for the day, and she answers, “I’m going to go hit my vlog and do a tirade against Trump.” 

“How about we play pickleball instead?” he imagined the friend saying, then, as O’Donnell, responded, “Get out of here.”

“It’s got to be so unhealthy, unpleasant,” Pinsky said. “But it must be rewarding in some way because they keep doing it, right? It gives them meaning.”

Carolla went on to make an argument that because comedians use their brains instead of their brawn, they can sometimes find their thoughts going in “a bad direction.”

“If you’re a comedian, and you have some downtime, and you’re no longer hitting the boards, you know what I mean?” he said. “You got money in the bank, and you can kind of have your afternoons off, and you don’t need to go out and hit mics that night, then that mind will start wandering on you.”

He continued, “What you need to do at that point is go build a gazebo. You need to get up and get out … you need a project.”

Carolla explained, “When the brain is not constantly working in some sort of support of some goal … it starts turning. And that’s a problem.”

O’Donnell has consistently spoken out against Trump on social media and in interviews she’s given after moving from the U.S. to Ireland following the 2024 presidential election.

She’s demanded his removal from office numerous times, and in a 2025 interview, she admitted that she’d promised her therapist she’d quit making posts about Trump on social media, but she wasn’t able to follow through.

Griffin recently declared herself “uncanceled” nearly 10 years after creating a firestorm when she shared a photo of herself holding a bloody mask designed to look like Trump’s head.

She previously told her podcast listeners to take the time to speak to neighbors and to “find out if they’re MAGA or not,” because it’s important to know “who’s on our team.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to O’Donnell, Griffin, Newsom and Bass.

Uganda’s military chief has warned the African country’s armed forces could enter the Iran war on Israel’s side after issuing a series of statements on social media that went viral this week.

Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba — son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni — who is considered to be his likely successor, has spent this week making a barrage of posts on X in support of Israel.

“We stand with Israel because we are Christians,” he wrote, adding in another post, “Uganda is the David that was forgotten and neglected by the world. We will defeat the giant, Goliath.”

Kainerugaba began his social media blitz with, “We want the war in the Middle East to end now. The world is tired of it. But any talk of destroying or defeating Israel will bring us into the war. On the side of Israel!”

Uganda has 45,000 active military personnel in the Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF), with around 35,000 reserves, according to its ministry of defense. It’s estimated to have approximately 240 tanks and over 1,000 armored fighting vehicles.

The nation is also heavily involved militarily in conflict-affected countries. Its soldiers fight as part of an African Union force against Islamist al-Shabab terrorists in Somalia. Their army is also still operating in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) against the Islamic State-linked ADF terrorist group.

While Iran is not known to have any interests in Uganda, it has been accused of covert operations in neighboring Kenya and Tanzania, including the running of smuggling networks and making controversial diplomatic and economic outreach with questionable motives throughout the region. Although landlocked, Uganda is said to be wary of Iran’s strategic interest in gaining a presence in the regional waters of the Indian Ocean and Red Sea.

In another post he stated, “Israel stood with us when we were nobodies in the 1980s and 1990s. Why wouldn’t we defend her now that our GDP is $100 billion? One of the largest in Africa.”

Israel has historically trained Ugandan forces, including the general. It is understood that Uganda maintains a strong strategic partnership with Israel, with close security and intelligence ties.

It wasn’t always like this. In 1976, with dictator Idi Amin aggressively opposing Israel, four terrorists hijacked Air France Flight 139 on its way from Tel Aviv to France. The plane was diverted to Entebbe Airport in Uganda. During the night of July 3, 1976, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) mounted a long-range rescue mission, originally codenamed Operation Thunderbolt, to rescue 106 mostly Israeli hostages being held.

The mission was retroactively renamed Operation Yonatan after the mission’s leader, Lt. Col. Yonatan “Yoni” Netanyahu, the elder brother of the current Israeli Prime Minister, was killed by a Ugandan sniper during the raid. The Israeli soldiers pulled off a successful rescue, but four hostages, seven hijackers and 45 Ugandan soldiers were killed.

Kainerugaba announced that in a further gesture of goodwill toward Israel, he intends to have a statue of Yonatan Netanyahu erected at the exact spot in Entebbe’s airport where he fell. This week, Kainerugaba posted a photo of the statue on X, dubbing it “a sneak peek.”

Perhaps for the first time in 2026, Alex Vesia felt some normalcy on Friday night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher made his return to the pitcher’s mound in his first Major League outing since his infant daughter died just five days after she was born.

Before the World Series, the left-hander left the team to deal with a “deeply personal matter” and did not pitch in the Fall Classic.

Days after the Dodgers won the World Series, he and his wife announced their infant daughter had died.

Vesia returned to the team during spring training and then entered the Dodgers’ game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the seventh inning of a 4-4 tie.

It was quite the spot for Vesia to return, but given his 2.36 ERA over the last two seasons, it was no sweat. He left a runner stranded on second base and kept the D-Backs scoreless en route to the team’s 5-4 win over their division rival.

Vesia let out a yell and pointed toward the Dodgers’ family section while getting a standing ovation from the crowd.

Vesia was wearing a customized pink glove with his daughter’s name, Sterling Sol, stitched on it, along with her birthday and his wife’s first initial, K for Kayla, embroidered on the glove’s ring finger.

DODGERS PITCHER’S WIFE LIVES THROUGH ‘BITTER SWEET’ OPENING DAY MONTHS AFTER INFANT DAUGHTER’S DEATH

“What I would give to have my Sterling girl here, carrying her in my heart always,” Kayla said in an Instagram post earlier this week to celebrate a “bitter-sweet” opening day.

Sterling passed between Game 2 and Game 3 when the series was tied at one game apiece. During the Fall Classic, relievers from the Toronto Blue Jays wrote Vesia’s jersey number, 51, on their hats.

In his first news conference of the year in spring training, Vesia called his wife “the strongest person that I know” and “a support system for me every bit as much as I am for her.”

“Life can change in an instant. For us, 10 minutes is all it took,” Vesia said in February. “Sterling Sol was the most beautiful girl in the world. We got to hold her, change her diaper, read to her and love her. Our time together was far too short. Kay and I will keep those precious moments and memories to ourselves.

“Stepping away from the team, the brothers that I go to war with every day, was difficult, but it was also an easy decision because my family needed me. We still watched every pitch of the World Series, and for us in so many ways, that was a light in our darkness.

“I was not prepared to not bring my baby girl home, but we’re carrying her with us every day. It’s been hard, but we’re doing OK.”

The back-to-back reigning World Series champions are 2-0 to start the MLB season.
