Fatal Crash in Virginia: Bus Driver Is Chinese-Born, Doesn't Speak English

'Such a baby': Trump ridiculed after 'crash out' over Kennedy Center 'narcissistic injury'

Donald Trump's Saturday Truth Social spiral drew swift mockery from critics across the political spectrum, with a prominent journalist declaring the president was "really crashing out" and a former Republican congressman summing it up in three words.Trump said Saturday:"We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain. Cancel it, just like I canceled my involvement with the failing and unsafe to be in Kennedy Center, because a Highly Conflicted, Crooked Federal Judge, said that I should not be allowed to spend my time and money in order to MAKE THE CENTER GREAT AGAIN, actually, far greater than it ever was before! It would have also been nice to see a Republican/Democrat union bring it back to life. The Kennedy Center is broken, unsafe, and $busted, and has been for many years! Judge Cooper also stated that the highly prestigious Board of the Center was not authorized to add on the name 'TRUMP' despite the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars of my time and money will be necessary for its successful reincarnation. So now, the Kennedy Center will collapse, both structurally and financially. Judge Cooper and his wife, Amy Jeffress (obfuscation anyone?), should be ashamed of themselves. Judge Cooper, like numerous other Crooked Judges on my cases, should be IMPEACHED."Aaron Rupar, who has built a large following tracking Trump's online behavior, quoted Trump's lengthy rant calling for a MAGA rally to replace the America 250 concert and his threats that the Kennedy Center would collapse without him. "Holy s---, Trump is really crashing out," Rupar wrote.Adam Kinzinger, the former Illinois Republican congressman who voted to impeach Trump and has since become one of his most outspoken GOP critics, had a shorter take. Quoting Rupar's post, Kinzinger wrote simply: "Such a baby."Author Jennifer Erin Valent chimed in, "His notorious self obsession has reached the stage of derangement, and still, no one seems inclined to do a thing about it. The dereliction of duty in our time is truly staggering."Academic Karen Piper said, "This is called a narcissistic injury."The posts came as part of a broader meltdown that included Trump unveiling a drone port rendering for the White House roof, posting an AI image of himself appearing to use the American flag as a tissue, calling Republican allies "losers," and demanding that Judge Christopher Cooper be impeached after the jurist ordered Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Center.

Duffy Now Vowing Action After Non-English Speaking Driver's Deadly VA Bus Crash

Bus driver in crash that killed 5, including 2 kids, was Chinese national who did not speak English, Sec. Duffy says

Dozens were injured and five people were killed when a North Carolina-based E&P Travel bus drove into stopped traffic in Virginia on Friday at about 2:35 a.m., according to police.An investigation found that the driver of the bus was a Chinese national who could not speak English, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.'This is one of the most tragic things I've ever seen. Absolutely tragic.'The driver identified as 48-year-old Jing S. Dong.The bus plowed into a Chevy SUV that had slowed for a construction zone and propelled that vehicle into an Acura SUV and other vehicles.Dong's bus was carrying 34 travelers from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina.Forty-four people in the incident were transported to hospitals in Fredericksburg and Stafford, according to officials. Three of those had critical injuries."I've got to say, this is one of the most tragic things I've ever seen. Absolutely tragic," said Federal Transit Administration spokesperson Peyton Vogel at the scene.Duffy posted the findings from the investigation to social media."Local police confirm the driver of this motorcoach — a man from China who became a U.S. citizen — doesn't speak English. He received his commercial drivers license from New York State in 2024," Duffy wrote."Unacceptable. This is exactly why we are holding states accountable, enforcing the rules of the road, and cracking down on drivers who can't speak English," he added. "If you can't be properly trained, read our road signs, or communicate with law enforcement, you have no business driving a bus."He also vowed that any company, trainer, or school involved in putting Dong on the road would receive "intense scrutiny" over the incident.RELATED: Security camera shows school bus blow through stop sign and get hit by city bus, 6 people hurt Dong was also injured in the crash."My prayers are with the loved ones of the innocent lives lost and those who were hurt in this horrific crime," Duffy concluded.The investigation into the crash closed traffic on the I-95 south lane for about four hours.Like Blaze News?

Nancy Mace speaks out after Trump publicly rejects her run for governor

After President Donald Trump endorsed South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pam Evette in the crowded gubernatorial primary on Friday, all eyes turned to Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who has been running a very intense campaign for the same office and casting herself as a MAGA warrior.Mace, writing on X, blamed the snub on her support for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking case files — and insisted she didn't want the endorsement if that's what robbed her of it."I know I put the likelihood of an endorsement on the line when I demanded transparency on the Epstein files," wrote Mace. "I demanded it because you deserved the truth — ALL OF IT — and as a survivor of a corrupt and broken court system, I will always pursue justice for those who deserve it.""If sacrificing my values is the price of an endorsement, I will never pay it," she concluded.Also snubbed out of an endorsement was Rep. Ralph Norman, a fellow South Carolina lawmaker who was enthusiastically cheerleading Trump's push to redraw congressional districts and delete majority-Black seats to give more to Republicans. That push in South Carolina died earlier this week, at least for now, as Republicans conceded they didn't have time this session.
