President Donald Trump’s makeover of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ahead of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations is not going according to plan.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sparked mockery on Friday after he uncorked what some analysts described as an "absolutely insane" claim about what Kennedy referred to as the "most consequential crime" in American history. On Thursday, former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard posted a video on her professional X account that claimed to expose evidence that Anthony Fauci, the former chief medical advisor to the President, had committed crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kennedy retweeted the video and thanked Gabbard for "documenting Dr. Fauci's central role in causing the COVID-19 pandemic — among the most consequential crimes in human history."Kennedy's claims garnered swift mockery online. "An insane accusation from an insane man," Mehdi Hasan, founder of Zeteo News, posted on X. "If this was true (it's not), shouldn't we hold Trump responsible?" Steven Bonnel II, a political commentator who goes by the name "Destiny" online, posted on X. "My god. Bats--- f------ lunatics," Jeff Timmer, a senior advisor to Project Lincoln, posted on X. Thank you, Tulsi, for documenting Dr. Fauci's central role in causing the COVID-19 pandemic — among the most consequential crimes in human history. https://t.co/Mni91nFi3Y— Secretary Kennedy (@SecKennedy) June 19, 2026
Less than three months ago, Donald Trump was mocking the 2015 deal Barack Obama made with Iran that cleared the regime’s path to a nuclear bomb.
Vice President J.D. Vance's comments about Israel have sparked an ugly, public brawl of words among two of the Florida GOP's most controversial figures.This comes after Vance lashed out at Israel for publicly opposing President Donald Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran to end the war that has been raging over the last three months.“If I was in the Cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world,” Vance said, according to The Hill.This infuriated Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), a far-right Jewish lawmaker who has repeatedly called for Israel to attack its neighbors and even commit war crimes.“I thought JD’s comments yesterday were absolutely inappropriate and frankly disgusting,” said Fine, during an interview on Real America's Voice.Fine's attack on Vance was soon countered by a furious retort on social media from Lake County Commissioner Anthony Sabatini, a former member of the Florida legislature known for alienating his colleagues."Sweaty Randy Fine is a morbidly obese & very disgusting piece of [expletive] who should be deported ASAP," said Sabatini on X.This comes shortly after Sabatini played with a congressional run under the new, more aggressively gerrymandered maps passed by the legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis, but decided against it as state law would have required him to resign from his county office first.

Pro-MAGA influencers erupted in outrage after CNN tested the bright green water in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which President Donald Trump recently renovated.Trump ordered the landmark repainted "American flag blue" for $14.2 million — far exceeding his initial $2 million estimate. Algae turned the water green within days of the pool being refilled in early June.CNN sampled the water and had it independently tested, finding phosphate levels far higher than recommended for a pool holding 6.5 million gallons."They are having a field day out here," an algae specialist told the network.Florida's Voice chief content officer Eric Daugherty griped on X that "CNN is digging deeper into water color than they dug into hundreds of billions of fraud" — a post that racked up 2 million views."Pond scum gets the full investigative treatment," Benny Johnson, host of The Benny Show and a Turning Point USA contributor, fumed on X. "Massive fraud against the American taxpayer? Crickets."Kristin Sokoloff, co-host of the Dirtyside of Leadership podcast, was blunter. "CNN [is] obsessed with Reflecting Pool paint while America burns," she posted.Retired Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson, a RedState columnist, mocked the network as "that crack journalistic enterprise that liberals and airports live on.""If only they cared this much about Hunter's laptop," Newsmax host Rob Schmitt snapped on X.
