MAGA host floats 'sabotage' conspiracy as Reflecting Pool is flooded with green algae
Conservative media host Grant Stinchfield is suggesting that left-wing saboteurs are behind the algae that turned the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool green, barely a week after President Donald Trump's multimillion-dollar overhaul of the landmark.In a video posted to X, Stinchfield stood beside the murky, green-tinted water and floated the idea that something sinister was at work."President Trump fixes the reflecting pool and a week later it's green again, loaded with algae," he wrote. "Sabotage… Vandalism? I believe it is."He pushed the theory further in a video, telling the camera the water had been "crystal clear blue" and gesturing at the surface. "Is it nefarious? I tend to think so," he said, claiming unnamed actors "want Trump to fail."Stinchfield tied it straight to politics. "The left can't stand Trump, American greatness and his quest to make DC beautiful again," he wrote. "What a shame!"He claimed, "They're pumping something into this. It is back to green!"The official explanation is far less cinematic. The Interior Department has said the green tint is residual algae left in supply lines that sat dormant for roughly eight weeks during construction — a routine byproduct of restarting the system, with crews already working to clear it.Algae has long plagued the shallow, sun-baked pool, which is prone to blooms in summer heat and stagnant water. The renovation, which included repainting the basin and adding new filtration meant to curb that very problem, wrapped only recently, with the pool refilled around early June.So a freshly refilled, sun-exposed pool in a Washington summer turned green, as it has many times before. Stinchfield's verdict, delivered to more than 100,000 viewers: an inside job.

Ex-staffer accuses MAGA lawmaker of ‘intentionally misleading’ voters for years
Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), who’s been endorsed by President Donald Trump in his bid for U.S. Senate, was accused Saturday by an ex-senior staffer of "intentionally misleading” voters for years regarding his military service, The Daily Mail reported.Moore’s campaign told The Daily Mail that he had served in the U.S. military for “more than six years,” and his wife, Heather Moore, said recently that her husband had served eight years, according to a local Alabama media outlet, The Daily Mail reported.However, according to documents recently released by Moore’s campaign, Moore had only served in the National Guard for less than three years before being honorably discharged in mid-1991.Furthermore, The Daily Mail uncovered new details that put his military service claims further into question.“Multiple former staffers said that early in his congressional tenure, senior staff took a deliberate decision to avoid the word 'veteran' in all communications – because Moore did not meet the qualifications - substituting 'former service member' instead,” The Daily Mail’s report reads.“In a further eyebrow-raising revelation, The Daily Mail has learned that Moore was typically accompanied by veteran staffers onto military bases, as he lacked the active-duty or veteran ID card needed for independent access.”Nevertheless, Moore has continued to tout his military record amid his Senate campaign, including in a Facebook ad published in May in which he “claimed to be a veteran,” The Daily Mail reported.

Trump threatens to overtake DC if mayoral election doesn't go his way
President Donald Trump threatened Thursday to take over Washington, D.C., on a federal basis if democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George wins next week's Democratic primary for mayor. Trump told Oval Office reporters he wouldn't like it if Lewis George prevails, reported The Washington Post. Currently, Lewis Georg is leading the polls. “We are not going to get ICE off our streets by fearing this president. We are not going to protect our rights or Home Rule by obeying in advance. Threatening Home Rule because you do not like how residents vote is an attack on democracy itself. The people of DC elect the mayor of DC. And they want someone who will stand up to Donald Trump,” Lewis George responded. While Trump has the authority to temporarily seize control of the city's police department and deploy the D.C. National Guard — like he did last year — he is legally barred from unilaterally revoking the city's right to self-government without congressional approval, The Washington Post reported. Trump has not explained his opposition to Lewis George beyond her association with democratic socialist policies.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.
