Fox News Running Crackpot 'Media Whore' Spencer Pratt's Campaign

John Amato — Fri, 29 May 2026 22:08:21 +0000

Former self-described "fame whore," reality TV star Spencer Pratt is using the tragedy of the Pacific Palisades fires to run for LA Mayor and is being aided by a likely source to magnify his presence, Fox News.

If you search Pratt's name and Fox News, many different videos and articles appear. Fox News is enamored with Pratt's caustic style that imitates demented Donald, but that's just a pretense. He's another reality TV blowhard who needed a new platform to feed his ego, and Fox is happy to help. They highlighted an upcoming interview this week and cherry-picked this clip to introduce him to their viewers.

PRATT: It's not shocking because their alleged criminal partners, not only did they work together in their negligence in burning down 7,000 houses and 12 people alive, but they're both complicit in laundering, what, $24 billion to actually increase homelessness.

They both should be in jail together.

MACCALLUM: Wow.

Some pretty big charges there from Spencer Pratt about Newsom and Bass calling them basically a criminal combine.

Way to go, Martha.

I'm particularly pissed off about this guy because he used the one-year anniversary celebration in the Palisades of the Pacific Palisades fires to hold a protest and then announce his candidacy for Mayor.

Students For Trump Co-Founder Arrested And You'll Never Guess Why

David Edwards — Fri, 29 May 2026 21:23:29 +0000

Ryan Fournier, the co-founder and chairman of Students for Trump, was arrested early Tuesday in Washington, D.C., on domestic violence charges — the second time in less than two years he has faced accusations of assaulting a woman.

The Metropolitan Police Department charged Fournier with simple assault and attempted threats to do bodily harm after an incident late Monday night at the Apartments at CityCenter.

According to an affidavit obtained by Defector, the victim — a woman who told police she had been dating Fournier for about two months and was in town to visit him — tried to wake him after finding him passed out, apparently intoxicated, on the floor. Fournier responded by swinging his fists and striking her in the face with a closed fist two or three times, she told police.

He also got on top of her as he hit her, and she said she had no choice but to defend herself. Officers noted he had a switchblade knife at his side.

A witness who identified himself as Fournier's roommate told police the situation escalated quickly. He heard Fournier scream, "Don't touch me, woman!" and "Do you want me to crush your head in with this lamp?"

When the witness stepped away, he heard Fournier yell, "Do you want to die today?" The victim ran into the bathroom, the witness said, and "looked like she had been punched in the face." As the witness called 911, the victim pleaded, "Don't let him stab me."

Alito’s Son Got A Secret Job In Trump Administration

NewsHound Ellen — Fri, 29 May 2026 19:34:11 +0000

Philip Alito, the son of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, “quietly landed a political appointee job as a lawyer” in Donald Trump’s Treasury Department in the early weeks of the second Trump administration, NOTUS has reported. Yet he is not mentioned on the department’s website and “his three professional bar listings are outdated or incorrectly list previous employers.”

It seems pretty clear that Philip Alito was hired for political reasons. “His exact role was still being sorted during his first few weeks there as senior officials rearranged professional responsibilities,” a source told NOTUS. Another said, “There’s no doubt he got that position because of who he is.”

The younger Alito works in the office providing legal advice to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. That seems pretty convenient for a president who might be wondering if the Supreme Court would be OK if he grabbed about $2 billion from that department for a slush fund, donchathink?

Treasury’s chief legal officer, Brian Morrisey, resigned within hours of the slush fund’s unveiling. But not Philip Alito. Maybe he had a chat with his MAGA Daddy judge or maybe he just knew that Daddy would greenlight just about any corruption Felon Trump would engage in.

Judge Puts The Brakes On Trump's Slush Fund

John Amato — Fri, 29 May 2026 19:04:00 +0000

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund after Jan. 6 prosecutor Andrew Floyd sued.

NBC News reports, "The Trump administration cannot take any further action on the fund while legal motions are pending, “which includes the transferring of money to the fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the fund; and the disbursing of any funds from the fund,” according to the order. The judge said the order was necessary to “ensure that no funds are irreversibly disbursed from the Anti-Weaponization Fund” while there are motions pending to block the distribution of funds. She set a hearing for June 12."

Creating this 1.8 billion slush fund is one of the most brazenly public displays by Trump and his DOJ of how corrupt they are.

The idea that Trump's frivolous 10 billion dollar lawsuit was successfully negotiated on its merits to gift the president 1.8 billion dollars to do with how he pleases is almost treasonous.

Brooke Rollins Lies About 'Massive Fraud', Kicks People Off SNAP Without Proof

John Amato — Fri, 29 May 2026 17:57:51 +0000

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins spoke today at Post Farms in Marana, Arizona, to local cotton producers about farm economics, bragging that the Trump administration has kicked 4 million people off of SNAP programs but has no idea how many were because of fraud.

Rollins was there to try and promote Trump's trade deals that led the way for a disastrous US economy, where farmers are struggling, despite the lie the Big Ugly bill is making agriculture and small businesses great again.

(Please, don't puke on your computer.)

Rollins was asked about the cuts to the SNAP program. She said it was an important program for struggling people and families, but then attacked Biden and said under his watch there was a 40% increase in the amount of assistance going out.

Yeah, it was because of COVID, you vulture. Millions of people lost their jobs and needed help and still need help.

This reprobate claimed the states shucked their responsibilities and offered no accountability when doling out the funds, but that is a Big FAT LIE.

Here's another unproven whopper.

"Actually live people using dead people's Social Security numbers, but 200,000 dead people getting assistance," Rollins stated. We found 500,000 people getting more than one benefit when they should only get one."

They've refused to release any data on these numbers so it's a lie, too. It's what they do. They lie, and cause people to starve.

Another No-Bid Contract, This Time For Gold-Plated Horses

Karoli Kuns — Fri, 29 May 2026 17:02:03 +0000

Another no-bid contract has been issued, this time to gild statues in Washington, D.C. surrounding the Lincoln Monument in 24-karat gold. The statues are equestrian statues known as Arts of War and Arts of Peace. An Arts of War statue is pictured above.

These statues are bronze, so that a good cleaning and polishing would have been enough to bring out their features, and freshen their looks while leaving a lovely patina on them.

But President Grifter wanted them covered in the same quality of gold used to cover Wyoming's state capitol dome seven years ago. Because why not? It's only taxpayer money, after all.

So, according to NOTUS, a no-bid $5 million contract was awarded to The Gilders' Studio in Maryland to restore them not to their original bronze glory, but with an entirely new look, resplendent with thick gold leaf. It's unknown whether the gold is part of the contract award.

Welcome to the New Gilded Age.

Pete Hegseth Preached War Crimes To West Point Graduates

John Amato — Fri, 29 May 2026 16:08:16 +0000

During Saturday's West Point commencement speech, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth preached to the graduates that if they commit war crimes and or illegal acts, he and Trump will have their backs.

That's shocking.

To Pete Hegseth, there are no military standards, only his whiskey-infused ego, coupled with Trump's narcissism.

During Trump's first term, Hegseth stumped for several U.S. service members accused or convicted of war crimes.

Most of Whiskey Pete's speech defended the actions taken after Trump came into office and appointed the former Fox News host in charge of the military.

He repeatedly attacked diversity and wokeism, and not being fat, while promoting the homophobic views of the late Charlie Kirk and injecting his personal views on religion into the speech.

However, this small section raised more than the eyebrows of many current and former military leaders.

HEGSETH: Lawyers don't run companies, lawyers don't run battalions, commanders do.

No more walking on eggshells; order is being restored.

And that's all I ever wanted from my chain of command: people who let me do my job, empowered me to do it, and then supported me when it was done.

Now Trump Is Rage-Posting About Jill Biden In A Truth Social Outburst

Conover Kennard — Fri, 29 May 2026 15:08:55 +0000

Trump, ever so humble, has cracked the case that has baffled doctors, historians, and the entire medical establishment: he is the reason Joe Biden fell apart at the 2024 debate, which took place 701 days ago. His performance was so devastating, so spectacular, so highly rated, that poor Joe's brain just gave up on the spot. Sure thing.

Jill Biden, meanwhile, stands accused of the grave crime of not vaulting onto a debate stage to rescue her husband mid-sentence — as any good wife would do, according to America's foremost authority on marriage. That's right, it's been 701 days since the debate, and Trump took a shot at Jill Biden on Truth Social.

"Jill Biden is now out there finally admitting that she did NOT know what went wrong with Sleepy Joe during our spectacular, and highly rated, 2024 Presidential Debate, where Joe was not exactly performing to the highest level of debate standards," the 79-year-old president wrote. "She said that she thought he was having a “stroke,” and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do."

"The only thing she failed to mention was how well I was doing prior to his near total collapse," he added. "In other words, as many have asked, did my strong performance in that debate cause him to plain and simple “choke,” leading to his ignominious defeat, or were other reasons the cause? Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!"

Lindsey Graham Humiliates Himself Live On Fox News

John Amato — Fri, 29 May 2026 14:38:12 +0000

Sen. Lindsey Graham joined Sean Hannity on Fox News and so completely humiliated himself while glorifying Donald, one has to wonder if this is a new fetish that has been created in which Sen. Graham is indulging in?

As soon as Graham joined Hannity, he became enraptured by the fact that Trump endorsed him. This led him to go on a rant, culminating in his claim that the Nobel Peace Prize should be renamed the Trump Prize.

If Demented Donald can't win one, name it after him. That is truly an amazing way to degrade oneself.

First things first, every good Trump glorification must begin with an attack on Presidents Biden and Obama.

GRAHAM: Donald Trump is dealing with the mess that Biden created for the world when he withdrew from Afghanistan. Russia invaded Ukraine not on Trump's watch, but Biden's watch. Obama and Biden screwed Iran up, and Donald Trump is fixing it.

Check!

Next comes the payoff.

GRAHAM: And what Donald Trump said, President Trump said about Saudi Arabia and Israel, if you get nothing out of this interview other than Trump endorsed me, if he can pull this off, if he can get Saudi Arabia, the center of Islam for the entire world, to recognize the Jewish state Israel, he will have ended the Arab-Israeli conflict that's been going on for thousands of years.

They should change the Nobel Prize to the Trump Prize.

Talarico Hammers Paxton: 'Epstein Class Has No Place In Texas'

Karoli Kuns — Fri, 29 May 2026 13:17:31 +0000

The matchup of James Talarico and Ken Paxton lends itself to so many opportunities for Talarico, and few for Paxton. One of the only slams by Paxton which has caught the ear of the deep-thinking press (feel the sarcasm, Dear Reader) is calling him "Talafreako."

So of course, this reporter asked Talarico about that, because he's one of those Deep Thinkers. He should've stood back because Talarico loaded his rifle and took dead aim.

"Well, I think if Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles," Talarico fired back. "You know, this is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail -- an admitted child rapist after one of Ken Paxton's wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case."

But there's more, Dear Readers...

He continued, "Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life. But instead, he served less than a month."

"As of this week, he's now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton's corruption.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans.

It's endangering our children, and it must end.

I think the Epstein class has no place in Texas.

And this November, we're going to come together to defeat Ken Paxton and take back our state for the people.

Trump Lapdogs Trying To Pass Additional Fees For Offshore Wind

Susie Madrak — Fri, 29 May 2026 12:41:51 +0000

The spending bill MAGA Republicans put forward this week for the Department of the Interior comes with yet another blow to the offshore wind industry. according to Heatmap News.

The legislation the House Appropriations subcommittee advanced last week would impose a range of fees on offshore wind projects, including $7,300 annual fees for onshore inspection visits and $15,400 for a visual inspection of an individual turbine. Further physical inspections of a turbine or substation would total $72,800. The fees, E&E News reported, “could amount to much more than is paid by offshore oil companies for inspections, given that the language calls for per-turbine inspections and wind farms include many turbines.”

He's BACKKK! Now Baby Nazi Bovino Wants To Take Over Newark ICE

It's been months since he was pushed to retire, Border Patrol boss and wanna-be SS cosplayer Greg Bovino is starting a mutiny against the White House amid protests at a Newark, New Jersey ICE facility, according to the Daily Mail.

The Nazi admirer posted a selfie from an airport gate saying he is heading to Delaney Hall in Newark to personally witness the protests that have sparked there.

Hey everyone, that’s me at the airport pointing to the next flight to Newark. Flight 3450, 2:27 PM, on time.@SenMullin and the rest of them have been trying to handle these riots and… well, let’s just say it’s not going great.

Honor Among Thieves? Spook Caught With His Hand In The Vault

Karoli Kuns — Fri, 29 May 2026 11:54:52 +0000

David J. Rush was arrested last week and charged with the theft of public funds after sheriffs searched his home and found 303 gold bars worth $40 million along with a pile of Rolex watches and $2 million in cash.

According to the FBI affidavit, from November 2025 to March 2026, Rush requested and received large amounts of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for "work‑related expenses."

When the FBI went to the storage space Rush had at his office, only a small part of the total he had withdrawn was there. They then searched his home, where they found the gold bars, 35 Rolex watches, and cash.

At the time of his arrest, Rush had a Top Secret and was a senior official at the CIA.

However, like all crooks and liars, Rush also lied about literally everything that got him to a place where he could access that gold, cash, foreign currency, and even a bigger paycheck.

Rush enlisted in the Navy in 1997. In 2004, he told the Navy he had earned a degree from Clemson University, qualifying him for a promotion and more pay. He was honorably (!!!) discharged from the Navy Reserves as a Lieutenant in 2015.

Mike’s Blog Round-Up

On this day in 1851, Sojourner Truth delivered her “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech at the Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. Although historians (being historians) debate the exact wording of he speech, and the dialect in which it may have been delivered, there is no question of its social and historical importance. It laid bare the deep hypocrisy at the heart of nineteenth-century American ideas about race, gender, and citizenship, and speech challenged the notion that all women shared the same experience by pointing out that Black women were denied both the protections supposedly granted to women and the rights promised to citizens. Truth fused the struggles against slavery and sexism into a single moral argument, insisting that freedom and equality could not be divided by race. Today's video is Sojourner Truth speech, performed at Kansas State University's 8th Diversity Summit April 1, 2011, by Pat Theriault.

Creeper Jesse Watters Wants Reporters To Ask Talarico If He Wears Women's Underwear

Heather — Fri, 29 May 2026 11:54:14 +0000

The propagandists on Fox have been doing their best to help corrupt Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton feminize his opponent for US Senate — Democratic state Rep. James Talarico — ever since Paxton won his runoff against John Cornyn.

On this Friday's The Five, while discussing Beto O'Rourke's endorsement of Talarico, cohost Jesse Watters seemed way too obsessed with Talarico's sex life during a segment where they were childishly calling Talarico "low-T."

GUTFELD: You know, when I see a woman, I like to say — what would Talarico call her?

WATTERS: A person with a uterus.

GUTFELD: A neighbor.

WATTERS: A neighbor with a... what was it again?

GUTFELD: You just told me this! A neighbor with a uterus. I'm setting him up and he doesn't remember!

WATTERS: I was just in the emergency room. All right. Who cares what Beto thinks? He's lost three races in four years and blown $175 million.

There's more evidence that this guy is an omnivore. When he was ordering breakfast tacos with Barack Hussein Obama, Jessica, he ordered a potato, egg, and cheese — no chorizo. Potato, egg, and cheese.

RFK Jr's A Snake Wrangler Now

America 250's Musical Lineup Is Auditory Equivalent Of A Folding Chair

Lisa Needham — Fri, 29 May 2026 00:48:00 +0000

The United States’ Semiquincentennial is coming up—250 years, baby! Let’s party!

To celebrate, the Great American State Fair will be popping up on the National Mall, and you know that the music is gonna be tight. Let’s see who’s lined up so far:

Martina McBride – June 25
C+C Music Factory – June 26
Milli Vanilli – June 26
Vanilla Ice – June 26
Young MC – June 26
Commodores – June 27
Morris Day & The Time – June 27
Flo Rida – July 2
Bret Michaels – July 3

Well, it’s certainly no Turning Point USA alternative halftime show, but we’ll just have to make do, won’t we?

By this point, there’s no reason to extend any grace to anyone who chooses to perform at anything Trump-related. Even the normiest of normies can’t credibly say that they just have no idea what the guy is up to.

But this lineup looks a lot more like “artists who get booked for the county fair and casino circuit in the summer” than hardcore MAGA types. Well, with one exception. We’ll get to you later, Mr. Ice.

Honestly, Martina McBride, how dare you? We thought you knew better. You are hereby sentenced to repeated spins of “Independence Day,” your own damn song, until you come to your senses.

Our Natl Park Fees Are Paying For Trump’s Vanity Projects

NewsHound Ellen — Thu, 28 May 2026 21:50:42 +0000

When Donald Trump put his face on U.S. national parks passes, he was grabbing more than just another opportunity for self-aggrandizement.

It was the first step in another Corrupt Trump Cash Grab for self-aggrandizement.

The New York Times found that at least $67 million worth of national park entrance fees is going to Trump’s “beautification” projects in Washington, D.C. About $60 million is being used to repair nine fountains which, as far as I know do not (yet) have Trump’s name or face on them. But $7 million is being spent on his extravagant re-painting of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

That $7 million just happens to cover the cost of the $6.9 million no-bid contract Trump awarded to his “pool guy” for the work. What a coinky-dink!

Trump 52 Points Underwater On Inflation As He Bleeds Base Support

John Amato — Thu, 28 May 2026 19:35:20 +0000

Earlier today on CNN, pollster Harry Enten delivered more horrific polling news for Donald Trump on his handling of inflation, which shows his approval ratings have fallen into historically low levels of support. At the same time, his own voters have begun to turn on him as the cost of goods continues to rise.

Using Trump's own term to prop himself up in all regards, 'nobody has seen anything like this before.'

ENTEN: You know, Donald Trump has been struggling on inflation basically for well over a year now. It was of course what got him reelected back in 2024, the fact that Americans dislike Joe Biden's handling of inflation. But the Iran war has taken it to a whole new historic level.

I want you to just take a look here. Okay, Trump's done approval on inflation.

Pre the Iran war, according to Fox News polling, he was 30 points underwater.

Look at this drop over just three months time. 52 points underwater.

I went back through the history books. There's no president before Trump who ever had a net negative inflation rating of at least 50 points underwater.

And now Trump is doing it in the Fox News poll minus 52.

Host John Berman asked Enten to explain what voters are causing this massive drop.

ENTEN: But look at Trump voters.

This is where the decline is coming from. Trump voters have turned on Trump when it comes to inflation.

Pre-war, he was at plus 37 points on the net approval rating on inflation.

Katie Miller Loses Her Sh*t After Her Husband Is Called 'Ugly'

Ed Scarce — Thu, 28 May 2026 18:48:12 +0000

No matter how bad a day you're having, I bet it isn't half as bad as the day Katie Miller had yesterday. Her idiotic response garnered widespread ridicule online. Though that still didn't stop her from going on Fox News later to gloat about it to Laura Ingraham.

Source: Daily Beast

Katie Miller lashed out at a Democratic operative after the party’s X account called her husband “ugly,” only for her attempted smear to be promptly laughed at.

The multi-person exchange began earlier Wednesday afternoon when Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, made an unhinged post about the Democratic Senate candidate in Texas, James Talarico. Miller, 40, falsely said Talarico was “transgender.”

Soon after, the Democratic Party’s X account replied to Miller: “shut up you ugly f--k.”

That post has garnered over 10 million views. Among those who saw it was Katie, the former employee of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, who then launched an eponymous podcast that has mediocre reviews.

Trump Appointees Force Portrait Of The Bankruptcy King Onto Legal Tender

Conover Kennard — Thu, 28 May 2026 17:45:13 +0000

In a move that surprised absolutely no one, Trump administration officials have been lobbying the Bureau of Engraving and Printing — the people who make the actual money — to slap the president's face on a brand-new $250 bill. This tracks since by the time it's printed, we'll need $250 to fill up our gas tanks.

This would mark the first time a living person has appeared on U.S. currency in over 150 years, a minor legal wrinkle that doesn't seem to have given anyone in the administration much pause. But given Trump's declining mental and physical health, who knows, that could be remedied. I said what I said.

The push has been led by U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach and his senior adviser Mike Brown, two political appointees who apparently had nothing better to do than repeatedly pressure bureau staff to mock up prototypes of the note, The Washington Post reports. Federal law, in its quaint way, currently limits bill portraits to deceased individuals — but rules are apparently more of a suggestion these days.

Beach even came prepared, submitting actual design mock-ups in August and September, including one featuring Trump's visage front and center on the $250 bill, flanked by the signatures of Trump himself and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—a truly humble touch.

The employees who revealed all this asked to remain anonymous, because, well, you can probably guess why.

Trump's DOJ Comes For The Woman Who Beat Him In Court — Twice

Conover Kennard — Thu, 28 May 2026 17:00:55 +0000

At this point, we have to wonder whether Trump has a Nixon-esque list of his perceived enemies, perhaps etched on his underwear, that no one will ever find, even though he lists his grievances against his foes daily on Truth Social. The message from Trump's Justice Department is pretty simple: sue the president, win $88 million in court against Trump, and we'll see you in court. Twice. E. Jean Carroll beat Trump twice in court.

The Trump Justice Department is now criminally investigating the 82-year-old former magazine columnist over who paid her lawyers in the defamation case she won against him. Because apparently the real crime wasn't the sexual abuse finding or the multi-million dollar judgments — it was potentially not being fully transparent about billionaire Reid Hoffman helping foot the bill. CNN is already calling it "retribution," and it does have that distinct "now it's our turn" energy. The guy who spent years calling the system rigged is back in power, and the feds are suddenly very interested in the funding details of the woman who successfully sued him. Peak 2026 vibes.

The DOJ is looking into whether Carroll lied under oath during her two civil cases against Trump — one over the alleged sexual assault at a New York department store in the mid-1990s, and another over his repeated public denials. The case centers on a 2022 deposition in which Carroll claimed her lawsuit received no outside financial backing, a statement contradicted when it emerged that LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman had quietly covered some of her legal costs.

Pee-Wee Goebbels' Wife Accuses Dems Of Violent Rhetoric For Telling Him To Shut Up

Someone's big mad that Dems told her vile husband to shut up and called him an ugly f**k on Xitter after he made a childish crack about a Democratic senate candidate supposedly being trans.

Stephen Miller's equally vile wife, Katie Miller, appeared on this Wednesday's The Ingraham Angle on Fox and was asked about it by Ingraham.

shut up you ugly fuck

Miller's response was to make the ridiculous assertion that telling her childish husband to shut the hell up is somehow violent.

INGRAHAM: Katie, by the way, your husband came under attack today when he said, like, the Democrats are, you know, perhaps going to nominate their first transgender Senate candidate, talking about Talarico.

And they responded by just, you know, basically saying, shut up, you ugly f-word, essentially. Any word for the Democrats, their little Twitter account?

James Dolan Must Keep Trump Away From NBA Finals

John Amato — Thu, 28 May 2026 15:54:39 +0000

During Wednesday's photo-op cabinet meeting, Donald Trump said New York Knicks owner James Dolan has invited him to an NBA final game.

This would be a disaster for the Knicks team, and the regular fans there in general.

New York City hates Trump.

Q: Are you going to a Knicks game next week?

TRUMP: No, I was invited to the, I was going to go on Wednesday, but they closed it out very quickly.

And Jim Dolan's great guys, as you know, owns and in charge of Madison Square Garden. He's having a good year.

Boy, what a team. They won all their games. They really have some great players.

I think I'll be going to one of the games. I was invited by numerous people and Jim, and I think I'll be gone.

It's great.

Great to see the Knicks have really they really suffered for years.

It will be a crazy scene to begin with, but then if you add Demented Donald's security team, Secret Service around the pomp Trump surrounds himself with, it'll be utter chaos.

The Knicks fans have despised James Dolan for decades. He's finally given himself a little grace after hiring Leon Rose as the GM, who has assembled an NBA championship caliber team.

Why blow it up? Why invite the most unpopular and despised president to this magnificent event?

If Trump does attend a game at Madison Square Garden, James Dolan must put him in his ownership suite, somewhere far from the paid attendance.

Two Dead, Nine People Missing In Washington Tank Rupture

Susie Madrak — Thu, 28 May 2026 15:10:40 +0000

The death toll from the tank-rupture incident at a Washington state paper mill on Tuesday rose to two, with nine people still missing and presumed dead, authorities said.

The Longview fire department said in a statement on Wednesday afternoon that one person who was transported to the hospital following the disaster at Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co on Tuesday morning had died.

“We’re bracing ourselves for this being the deadliest industrial tragedy in modern Washington state history,” Washington governor Bob Ferguson said at a news conference with local authorities on Wednesday.

The agency said that recovery efforts began at the mill on Wednesday following a delay due to “safety concerns of the structural integrity of the damaged tank”. Authorities have said there is no hope of finding any additional survivors and that the operation had transitioned from rescue to recovery.

Meanwhile, a team of investigators with the US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) was set to arrive on scene Wednesday after the federal agency announced it was launching an investigation into the fatal implosion.
