And 73 exhibited ‘neurological signs incompatible with donation.’

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirms it has launched a “major initiative” to reform America’s organ-transplant system after it stunningly revealed that dozens of organ donors may not have been dead when the process to procure their organs was started, and dozens more exhibited “neurological signs incompatible with donation.”

“Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying,” explained HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor’s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves,” he said.

A commentary posted at the Washington Stand on the situation highlighted one case:

“According to a partially redacted, eight-page report dated May 28, 2025, HHS received ‘an allegation of potentially preventable harm to a neurologically injured patient.’ This prompted the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the subdepartment of HHS that oversees the organ donation system, to launch an investigation after HRSA Administrator Thomas Engels assumed his post in February. The New York Times identified that victim as Anthony Thomas Hoover II, then 33 years old, who was hospitalized with a drug overdose in 2021. Hours after a doctor had declared him brain-dead, Hoover awakened to find medical staff preparing to remove his organs. ‘Even though the man cried, pulled his legs to his chest and shook his head, officials still tried to move forward.’ Hospital staff ultimately became ‘uncomfortable with the amount of reflexes’ Hoover showed, and a doctor ultimately refused to remove him from life-support. The man ultimately survived.”

The US Department of Health and Human Services under RFK Jr. is announcing a major initiative to overhaul the organ transplant system after an HRSA investigation uncovered significant problems:

HRSA reported that it reviewed 351 cases where organ donation was authorized but ultimately not completed. It found 103 cases “showed concerning features, including 73 patients with neurological signs incompatible with organ donation,” “at least 28 patients may not have been deceased at the time organ procurement was initiated – raising serious ethical and legal questions,” and “evidence pointed to poor neurologic assessments, lack of coordination with medical teams, questionable consent practices, and misclassification of causes of death, particularly in overdose cases.”

Under the plan the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network has been told to reopen an investigation into one unidentified case, which had been closed under the Joe Biden administration.

The newest review suggested “clear negligence.”

Now being imposed are new corrective actions and system-level changes that are intended to safeguard potential donors.

The Organ Procurement Organization must “conduct a full root cause analysis of its failure to follow internal protocols—including noncompliance with the five-minute observation rule after the patient’s death—and develop clear, enforceable policies to define donor eligibility criteria. Additionally, it must adopt a formal procedure allowing any staff member to halt a donation process if patient safety concerns arise,” the government said.

Safeguards and monitoring also are being ratcheted up.

“These findings from HHS confirm what the Trump administration has long warned: entrenched bureaucracies, outdated systems, and reckless disregard for human life have failed to protect our most vulnerable citizens. Under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, HHS is restoring integrity and transparency to organ procurement and transplant policy by putting patients’ lives first,” the report said.

The commentary from the Stand, by Joshua Arnold, noted Rep. Neal Dunn, R-Fla., worried that the story about the attempt to remove Hoover’s organs, “seems to be a story more fitting for a horror movie than a congressional hearing.”

Barry Mass, chief of Network for Hope, a federally funded OPO which works in Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia, appeared during a hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee recently.

He “could only respond with assent” to Dunn’s comments.

The commentary noted, “Such improvement in America’s organ transplant system was not forthcoming before the Trump administration exerted serious pressure. Despite the shocking details of Hoover’s case, the Membership and Professional Standards Committee (MPSC) of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) ‘closed the case without further action,’ even after Network for Hope’s reply ‘did not include the patient-level materials or administrative documents requested by the MPSC,’ according to the HRSA report.”

The federal study found many organ “donors” “had no cardiac time of death noted.”

“Such was the case with Hoover, who left the hospital four years ago and is still alive,” the commentary said.

The horror story details just continued, the commentary said, pointing out “multiple patients” were found to be evincing pain or discomfort while the staff was preparing to take their organs.

It explained, “In other words, like Hoover, overdose patients might seem dead because of the lingering effects of drugs, then gradually recover. If organ harvesters fail to recognize or record the effect of drugs on the patient, they may prematurely harvest organs from a patient set to fully recover.”

The commentary noted, “According to The New York Times, two former employees of Network of Hope said ‘higher-ups’ tried to pressure hospital staff to proceed with harvesting Hoover’s organs. ‘If it had not been for that physician [who refused to end life support], we absolutely, 1,000% would have moved forward,’ said Natasha Miller, an employee in the room. Three more former employees confirmed seeing similar cases.”

Stunningly, when eight members of the OPTN board resigned their positions, complaining about the Trump administration’s oversight plans, several industry groups, like the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, protested.

“These responses constitute angry warnings that the Trump administration will likely encounter serious opposition from the organ procurement and transplant industry. But the Trump administration is right to press such reform through, over the objections of industry participants, who as likely as not are part of the problem. As the HHS noted, an industry that shows ‘systemic disregard for sanctity of life” needs urgent reform,” the commentary said.

Hulk Hogan Climbs the Last Turnbuckle

The 71-year-old wrestling icon nonpareil died Thursday at his Florida home.

TMZ reports that Hulk Hogan is dead.

Arguably the most famous professional wrestler of all time, the 71-year-old became a meteoric pop culture phenomenon in the last quarter of the 20th century and maintained high-profile relevance, in entertainment and even politics, until his death this week.

Real-life Terry Bollea was born in Augusta, Georgia and relocated to Tampa, Florida before he was two years old. In his teens, the future Hulk Hogan developed a passion for professional wrestling, attending shows at the Tampa Sportatorium, where he fell in love with top stars like “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes and “Superstar” Billy Graham, the latter of which would have an outside influence on his own persona.

But that’s just biography. Hogan was much larger than that. For wrestling and the world.

The still-largest professional wrestling company on earth and in history, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), formerly the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), exists because of Hogan’s immense popularity in the mid-1980s. Vince McMahon, the currently controversial owner, had bought the Northeastern wrestling company from his father, and was poised to turn his healthy but still regional promotion into a national cable television powerhouse.

He just needed a big star.

Hulk Hogan was the perfect superhero for the 1980s and the WWF. After winning his first WWF world championship by defeating Iranian villain “The Iron Sheik” in early 1984, Hogan quickly became the “real American” who encouraged children to “train, say your prayers and eat your vitamins.” Hogan was an ideal fit for the Reagan era, the Cold War, a world of Arnold Schwarzenegger action movies, Jane Fonda workouts, and MTV. Hogan was in Rocky movies. He was friends with Mr. T. He hosted Saturday Night Live.

Hulk Hogan was the ’80s.

Businesswise, Hogan was even more of an ideal fit for McMahon, whose WWE would never have been successful without the star; in turn, Hogan’s fame would likely not have soared if not for McMahon’s new and massive platform. McMahon gambled everything on WrestleMania 1, which Hogan and his nemesis “Rowdy” Roddy Piper carried to success, and by WrestleMania 3 in 1987, the Hulkster was body slamming Andre the Giant in the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan in front of over 80,000 fans.

Hogan would leave the wrestling business for a while in the early ’90s to focus on television and movies. But in the mid-’90s, he was central to a second major wrestling boom after his own “Hulkamania” period a decade prior, by turning “heel” (becoming a bad guy) and forming wrestling’s “New World Order” (NWO) for Ted Turner’s “World Championship Wrestling” (WCW), WWE’s top competitor.

Hogan would continue in wrestling, a highlight of which was his WrestleMania 18 match against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in 2002, which inspired not only fans, but left a heavy impression on many of today’s wrestling stars. True to form, he even had a popular reality show featuring his family, there was a racial slur scandal, and even a sex tape scandal.

For good or ill, the man was always in the news, or at least lurking around.

Relevant to the end, Hulk Hogan spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention where he endorsed Donald Trump for president. When he appeared on Monday Night RAW’s Netflix debut in January, less than two months after the election—because of course the WWE was going to tap Hogan for such a big step into streaming—the blue Los Angeles crowd heavily booed the deep-red–and-yellow, MAGA wrestler.

Hulk Hogan was the most famous wrestler of his time and perhaps for all time, though Dwayne Johnson could arguably give him a run for his money. But Johnson probably wouldn’t be a major movie star if professional wrestling had not become the juggernaut that it did.

The blueprint for pro wrestling was drawn by Vince McMahon. But the house of WWE was actually built by Hulk Hogan.

Restore the Redskins 

Washington’s football team should embrace its tradition.

I was browsing some local turquoise at a gas station in the Pueblo of Pojaque in northern New Mexico last summer when a native man rolled down the window of his beat ’92 Ford pickup truck and shouted: “My favorite team.” He was pointing at me. I was wearing my old Washington Redskins shirt a lot those days after a similar encounter at the Palace of the Governors, the open-air Indian auction on the west side of the Santa Fe plaza. An older native man had spotted my shirt and introduced himself earlier in the summer. He raved about his love of the Redskins and expressed disappointment about the name change.

In northern New Mexico, most people are Broncos fans. But on the outskirts of its two small cities, Santa Fe and Taos, it’s not surprising to see native vehicles sporting Redskins bumper stickers. And though I am sure there are natives that believe the namesake is racist or oppressive, my purely anecdotal experiences in the native lands of this country suggest the issue is not so black and white as the motivated American press would have you believe. 

It was Dan Snyder who changed the name the day before Independence Day at the height of the 2020 George Floyd mania. The billionaire former owner of the Redskins, Snyder had long promised he would never change the name, going as far as to tell gathered reporters in 2013 that they could print “NEVER” in all caps. 

But less than a decade later, Snyder caved under public and corporate pressure. The press argued that Floyd’s death and nationwide race riots were evidence that team names such as the Redskins and the Cleaveland Indians played some consequential role in the creation of a cultural system that harbored racial animosity at its core. The corporations only cared about their bottom lines. Nike pulled all Redskins gear from its online store. Bank of America and Pepsi both signaled their discontent. And FedEx, which has held naming rights for the team’s stadium dating back to the ’90s, formally requested the team change its name. 

American Indians were divided on the topic, and remain so. The largest, most representative Native organizations including the National Congress of American Indians spoke in support of the name change, going as far as to call the “Redskins” branding a slur that perpetuated ill stereotypes of its people. But a Washington Post poll from 2016 that surveyed more than 500 Indians countered that narrative and found that nine in 10 self-identified natives said they weren’t offended by the name. Furthermore, the Native American Guardians Association, a small but vocal group of natives, argued the name honored their people. 

Speaking with Fox News on Monday, the former Redskins defensive lineman and Native American Jason Buck argued that in all the years he spent with the team he never encountered anyone who had an issue with the term and that he was honored to play for the Redskins as a native. 

“I’m a Native American, so I’m a real Redskin and a proud one,” Buck said. “The Redskin is our name. The first written record of the use of the word Redskin was from a Native American chief from the Illinois tribe… writing to a British military colonel about us, the Redskins. It’s our word. The European words are Indian and savage and now indigenous.” 

I’m not a Native American, but I did grow up a diehard Redskins fan. Back then, before the internet, you didn’t pick your favorite players and teams based on highlight reels or TikToks. I lived south of DC, so I was a Redskins fan. It was a curse, really. Being a Redskins fan in those years meant I suffered. They lost. A lot. I watched DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick torch the Skins. And I can remember the short-lived and much-hyped career of the quarterback and #2 overall draft pick Robert Griffin III, who set the league on fire before his knee gave out in that awful Wild Card game against Seattle. Griffin tore both his ACL and LCL in the loss, and he was never the same. He’d wash out of the league a few years later. The Redskins remained as bad as ever. 

To this day, my father hangs his head when he recounts the Griffin situation. “He should’ve never been in the game,” he’ll mutter when it comes up. And my dad is right. The injury not only ended Griffin’s career; it haunted then-coach Mike Shanahan for the rest of his coaching days, with fans forever questioning why Griffin had been allowed on the field when he was already injured. The Griffin moment sums up what the Redskins were under Dan Snyder—mismanaged, sacrificial, and nearsighted. And it explains why Snyder killed one of the powerful and iconic brands in American sports.

Despite the many losing seasons under Snyder’s leadership in the early 21st century, Forbes repeatedly named the Washington Redskins as one of the most valuable NFL franchises. And in 2013, the magazine named the Redskins as one of the 20 most valuable sports brands in the entire world. At that time, it was only the most progressive of American voices who demanded (to little real fanfare) that something must be done to rid the league of what they viewed as offensive and controversial. 

Sports Illustrated’s Peter King was among the most aggrieved media members in the years leading up to the name change. “Try explaining and defending the nickname to a child,” King wrote in 2013. “It’s impossible.” Don’t tell King this, but around here in rural Virginia, people use the term Redskins all the time. In front of kids too. In fact, my 7-year-old nephew says Redskins and Commanders interchangeably. And why wouldn’t he? They are, no matter what Dan Snyder and FedEx and Peter King believe, still and forever the Redskins to those of us who grew up fans.

And it’s not just fans of the Redskins who still use the name. Players still use it as well. The linebacker Von Miller, a veteran in the league who signed with Washington this week, called the Commanders the Redskins during his introductory press conference. “The Washington Redskins called me a month and a half ago and started talking,” Miller said Thursday. “I am so excited to be here.”

One of the best ways we ever showed respect to the conquered people who lived here before was to name one of our great American sports franchises in their name and likeness. And though President Trump’s recent call for the team to bring back the Redskins name is well-timed red meat for his increasingly-disappointed fan base, he isn’t wrong. “The Washington ‘Whatever’s’ should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday. 

Trump’s call for action comes as the organization, now helmed by the investor Josh Harris, is negotiating with the city of Washington, DC for a new stadium. The president has upped his calls for a rebrand by threatening to impose unspecified “restrictions” that would scuttle the deal until the name is restored. Harris and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser have indicated they plan to move forward with the Commanders name and the current stadium project regardless of Trump’s threats, which hold little real power unless Congress, DC officials, and federal planning boards sign off on the name change. 

Trump’s latest call for a rebrand could threaten plans to move the Redskins stadium from Northwest Stadium (formerly FedEx Field) in Maryland back to the site of its former home in the District. It’s a deal that Bowser and DC officials have worked to complete for nearly a decade. Congress and President Joe Biden pushed forward the plan when they approved a transfer of land from the federal government to the District of Columbia in late 2024. Nothing in the stadium deal requires Trump’s presidential approval, and, though an agreement could be overruled by Congress, it’s unlikely that would occur. 

I still root for the Commanders, regardless of the name change. Though I’d prefer the original mascot to be restored, I’ll always be cheering on the burgundy and gold come autumn. That’s part of the curse I mentioned earlier. When you are a real fan, it’s damn near impossible to abandon your team. But restoring the Redskins moniker would be a decisive victory over the modern morality police who transformed our society over the last decade in spite of fair objections. That the Redskins name is still a discussion is evidence that millions of Americans, and especially fans of the Hogs, would like their country back. 

Driving across Navajo Nation last year, I couldn’t help but consider how I view natives. I think the people here before had a different sort of wisdom. That they were great warriors and great artists; they looked toward their souls and out into the universe in specific ways that are common to all people regardless of ethnicity around the entire world. And they could be evil and savage and terrible to one another, just like all people. But, most importantly, America would not and could not exist if the people here before were the people who built today. It’s why we honor them in our own way, by emblazoning the uniform of one of our great sporting franchises with a likeness that recalls the special relationship America shares with its people from before. 

So restore the Redskins. Rename the Commanders. Make whole again what was the American experience, warts and all. Use the name to pay homage to the people who roamed the plains. Dedicate some small part of the team’s profits to the reservations in our America, which too often resemble third-world countries. Play a game each year in Gallup, New Mexico, and offer a 10 percent discount to natives who attend. There are many ways in which the NFL and the Washington Commanders specifically can pay tribute to the native tribes of our America without completely abandoning the mascot. 

I’ve got my old Redskins shirt hanging in the closet in anticipation of the new season. Here’s hoping the Commanders can build off the surprising success they found in 2024 with the talents of #1 quarterback pick Jayden Daniels. He and the team were a revelation last year, and gave many of us who have been scarred by the losing and the branding tug-of-war a reason to look positively toward the future. Now, if we can just get the name back. Here’s hoping.

Now that Tulsi Gabbard has ripped the cover off of the Russia collusion hoax, the Deep State is running scared.

This week, James Clapper appeared on CNN and told host Kaitlan Collins that he has already ‘lawyered up’ but he is not the most vulnerable member of the crew, according to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.

Turley appeared on FOX News this week and said that he is putting his money on John Brennan. It’s not a bad choice.

From the Daily Caller, via MSN:

Jonathan Turley Says John Brennan Might Want To Lawyer Up Following Russiagate Docs Release

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Thursday former CIA Director John Brennan could face criminal charges in the wake of new documents regarding the “Russiagate” scandal.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents and a memo Friday detailing what she called a “years-long coup” against Trump after he defeated Clinton in the 2016 presidential race, adding that she had referred the documents to the Justice Department for potential criminal activity. Turley said that while the Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling in favor of Trump’s claims of immunity over “official acts” as president would protect Obama, Brennan and Comey might not be as fortunate.

“It does appear a couple of these figures may have committed perjury. I think the most vulnerable may be Brennan, who is, like, a 30-point buck in the open,” Turley said. “This stuff goes directly to information that he gave to Congress and seems to be in contradiction, and so there are real questions here.”

We will see what happens but Turley is right about one thing. Brennan should follow the lead of his buddy James Clapper and hire an attorney. The Trump people are not playing games this time around.

Ken Martin, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), recently suggested that his party has hit rock bottom, and that this is a good thing because they have nowhere to go but up.

Martin is partially right. Recent polling has found approval for Democrats is at a historic low, but he is wrong about the future. They could still actually go lower. All they have to do is keep acting as if they care more about illegal aliens than they do about the American people.

Democrats have shown absolutely no signs that they plan to stop going down the same road they are currently on, which could easily lead them to worse approval ratings.

FOX News reports:

Democrats have hit ‘rock bottom,’ party leader says; here’s his unorthodox rebound plan

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin isn’t pulling any punches.

“There’s no doubt that … we have work to do,” Martin acknowledged in an extended, sit-down interview this week with Fox News Digital.

But the DNC chair sees President Donald Trump’s signature domestic achievement so far in his second term as ammunition that will help the Democrats rebound…

Martin noted that the party has continued to “lose ground with many parts of our coalition.”

But he sees a silver lining.

“When you hit rock bottom, there’s only one direction to go, and that’s up, and that’s what we’re doing,” Martin noted.

The party’s base is increasingly angry — and energized — to push back against Trump’s sweeping and controversial second-term agenda. And its anger is directed not just at the GOP but the Democratic Party lawmakers and officials who many feel haven’t been aggressive enough in combating the president.

Federal immigration judges fired by the Trump Administration over e-mail this month lashed out at Trump in an interview with CBS Evening News.

More than 100 immigration judges have been fired or resigned since President Trump took office this year.

In July, 20 immigration judges were fired.

Three of the fired judges – George Pappas, Jennifer Peyton and Carla Espinoza – spoke to CBS about their terminations. The disgruntled judges claimed they were politically pressured by the Trump Administration to grant motions to dismiss cases.

“It was arbitrary, unfair,” George Pappas told CBS News of his abrupt firing. “And it’s an attack on the rule of law. It’s an attack on judges.”

“My email was three sentences,” Jennifer Peyton whined. “I had no cause. I had no explanation.”

“We as judges, were in fear, we were concerned,” Carla Espinoza said. “That makes it very difficult to be impartial. We were not succumbing to that pressure but it does feel like pressure.”

Payton whined that once the illegal alien left the courtroom, ICE would handcuff them and whisk them away.

Excerpt from CBS News:

George Pappas, Jennifer Peyton and Carla Espinoza were all federal immigration judges fired this month by email. The three ruled on thousands of immigration cases in Chicago and Boston.

Pappas served as an immigration judge in Boston until this week, overseeing more than 2,000 cases during his two years on the bench. Peyton led Chicago’s immigration court for nearly nine years, hearing thousands of cases until she was abruptly fired over the 4th of July weekend.

Peyton oversaw Espinoza, who was appointed in 2023 and decided more than 1,000 cases in the last fiscal year, double the average for immigration judges.

Peyton told CBS News she received no reason for her firing. Immigration judges are under the authority of the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review.

A major study by Stanford University and Italian researchers has found that the COVID-19 vaccine saved far fewer lives than originally thought.

The World Health Organization previously asserted that the jabs prevented as many as 14.4 million deaths in their first year, with some estimates going as high as 20 million.

Yet according to this latest study, the actual number of lives saved globally throughout the entire pandemic is likely closer to 2.5 million.

The data suggests that the vast majority of those spared were elderly, with roughly 90% of prevented deaths occurring among individuals over 60.

Among younger groups, the numbers were strikingly low: just 299 lives saved worldwide among people under 20, and 1,808 in the 20 to 30 age bracket.

The study also quantified the number of vaccinations needed to save a single life.

Across all ages, an average of 5,400 doses were required per life saved. For those under 30, that figure soared to 100,000 jabs.

Researchers also questioned the rationale behind blanket vaccine mandates, particularly for low-risk populations, and criticised the excessive drive to vaccinate all individuals regardless of age or vulnerability.

They added that such findings should inform more targeted and evidence-based strategies in future public health campaigns.

The study’s author, Professor of Medicine at Stanford University John Ioannidis, said that “early estimates were based on many parameters having values that are incompatible with our current understanding.”

“In principle, targeting the populations who would get the vast majority of the benefit and letting alone those with questionable risk-benefit and cost-benefit makes a lot of sense.

“Aggressive mandates and the zealotry to vaccinate everyone at all cost were probably a bad idea.”

Dr Angelo Maria Pezzullo, researcher in general and applied hygiene at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, said this was the most reliable study to date.

“Before ours, several studies tried to estimate lives saved by vaccines with different models and in different periods or parts of the world, but this one is the most comprehensive because it is based on worldwide data,” she explained.

“It also calculates the number of years of life that were saved, and it is based on fewer assumptions about the pandemic trend.”

The Gateway Pundit was one of the various media outlets that led the way in reporting on the many side effects of the COVID vaccines.

These adverse reactions often involved young and healthy individuals dying suddenly from heart attacks or blood clots.

Dilbert creator and early Trump supporter Scott Adams is currently suffering from a form of cancer which could potentially end his life this year. It’s a very sad situation.

Luckily, he is still doing his podcast and putting ideas out there for people. In a recent episode, Adams suggested that two of the anti-Trump hoaxes advanced by Democrats ruined his life.

Specifically, he talked about how he lost friends and opportunities because of the Russia hoax and the ‘fine people’ hoax.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

SCOTT ADAMS: How many of you found out that Obama’s hoaxes—which would include the Russia hoax, and it would also include the “fine people” hoax, because Obama was behind that and Biden running for office—those two hoaxes, I would argue, ruined my life.

Let me say that again.

Those two hoaxes—Russia, Russia, Russia, and the “fine people” hoax—ruined my life.

Because those are the hoaxes that allowed my entire social group to say, “Are you kidding me? You’re backing Trump? Trump’s a Russian puppet, and he said that neo-Nazis are fine people. So we can’t even talk to you again. You’re so bad that we can’t invite you anywhere, we can’t be your friend, and you should just f–k off.”

So this is very personal to me.

What Obama did was he divided the country with these hoaxes. Because if you imagine a different history—where there had never been a Russia hoax, and there had never been a “fine people” hoax—those were the two primary ways that people became anti-Trumpers. Like really serious ones, where the TDS comes in.

Now, I would also argue that it’s possible that that’s what ushered in all the woke stuff. It’s what got me canceled.

So if you were to go back, trace the causes back to their origin, you would find out that Obama and Clinton and Brennan, etc.—and their hoaxes—ruined my life.

Now, I didn’t realize that until today. Because my natural personality is not to complain about stuff. My natural personality is to say, “Oh, that happened. I guess I have to do this now.”

So I don’t spend a ton of time whining about bad things that happen to me. I just sort of, you know, get moving to fix it and make the best of every situation.

But if you were to look at it objectively—those motherf–kers ruined my social life, and then my professional life. And it was entirely based on two hoaxes. So do I want them in jail? Yes. Yes, I want Obama in jail for ruining my life with what looks like criminal acts to me.

The Navy’s amazing ‘Blue Angels’ have been a source of inspiration for Americans for years. You can often see them flying in perfect formation at special events.

The Democrats, who are developing a special talent for always being on the wrong side of everything, are now trying to cancel the iconic planes because of climate change and other imaginary problems.

Laughably, one woman is suing two of the squadron’s pilots because she claims the sound of their Super Hornets killed her cat. I’m not kidding, but there’s a broader movement at play, and if you are at all politically astute, you’ve likely already guessed it’s about “climate change.”

A billboard recently went up in the area, headlined with the demand to “Say No to the Blue Angels.” Below it are pictures of children clutching their ears, a dog, and a Muslim woman wearing a hijab (because, of course, there is). Beside them are the claims that the Angels are “Too Loud,” cause “War Trauma,” and create “Pollution.”

What do you think of this billboard? We’re digging into this new push to ground the Seattle summer tradition and get the Blue Angels out of Seafair!

Left wing activists are like spoiled children who have never been told ‘NO’ in their entire lives. It’s why they are often so shocked when they get pushback on their usually insane ideas.

This situation is no different and they must be told ‘NO’ once again. The Blue Angels are not going anywhere.

In a hilarious exchange on X, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) got absolutely demolished by White House Communications Director Steven Cheung after he tried to attack President Trump and defend Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. 

President Trump visited the Federal Reserve headquarters in Washington, DC, on Thursday to examine the new construction on Powell’s insanely expensive renovation.

Powell is under fire for the cost of renovating the Fed’s headquarters. The cost ballooned from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion, even higher when you take into account the third building that they’ve already renovated as part of the project. According to official Federal Reserve documents, the project will cost upwards of $3.1 billion.

The Gateway Pundit reported on a fiery exchange between Trump and Powell, where the Fed Chairman tried to argue with Trump about the building renovation costs in front of the cameras.

When Powell tried to deny the $3.1 billion figure, Trump pulled out the receipts, and Powell tried to say he was wrong.

Powell further said he does not expect additional cost overruns, but “we’re ready for them,” and “we have a little bit of a reserve that we may use.”

Swalwell tried to own Trump with the viral image of a befuddled Jerome Powell looking at the document, commenting, “When my wife tells me we’re actually saving money with Rent the Runway.”

Rent the Runway is an e-commerce platform that allows users to subscribe to periodic clothing deliveries. The implication is that Trump was wrong and Powell was confused by his calculation.

Cheung fired back with a savage response, correcting the caption by pointing out Swalwell’s history of sleeping with a Chinese spies.

“When you look at a print out of your text exchange with Fang Fang,” he said.

It can be recalled that Swalwell, a former House Intelligence Committee Democrat, had a sexual relationship with Fang Fang Fang, AKA Christine Fang, a Chinese spy and honey pot, who previously infiltrated his campaign headquarters. Swalwell cut ties with Fang in 2015 after a defensive briefing.
