Raw Story: ‘Whoops!’ Trump doubles down on renaming DC institution after himself

President Donald Trump floated the idea of renaming the Kennedy Center after himself Monday in just the latest example of the president’s infatuation with reshaping the historic cultural center in Washington, D.C., in his own image.

“The new TRUMP KENNEDY, whoops, I mean, KENNEDY CENTER, columns, beautifully painted in a luxuriant white enamel color, replacing the fake looking gold paint that was there for years,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

“Many major improvements are being made, including seating, carpeting, wall coverings, ceilings, chandeliers, stages, heating and A/C, etc., to what will soon be the finest Arts and Entertainment Center anywhere in the World,” Trump posted. “Come see for yourself. We are remaining fully open during construction, renovation, and beautification. I am doing the same thing to the United States of America, but only on a ‘slightly’ larger scale!”

TheWrap: Chicago Laugh Factory Night Manager Arrested for Interfering With ICE, Club Mounts Legal Fund

Laugh Factory Chicago is crowdsourcing for legal funds to assist night manager Nathan Griffin, who was arrested after he allegedly interfered with federal agents attempting to carry out an immigration operation outside the comedy club.

Video from the arrest shows Griffin, an American citizen, being tackled to the ground by multiple agents and handcuffed. His mother, Elaine Plybon, was also briefly held down. People shouted, “Why are you doing this? Where are you taking him?” as Griffin was pushed into the backseat of a car.

“My brother in law Nathan was detained by border patrol officers today in Chicago, despite the fact that he is a natural-born American citizen,” the description reads. “After being arrested and hidden throughout the system, he finally resurfaced about 4 hours after his detainment in FBI custody awaiting a hearing for a federal assault charge which could carry 8 years in prison if convicted.”

Daily Overview: UPS chaos proves tariffs are hitting home hard

The financial implications are significant, with UPS facing increased costs that could potentially be passed on to consumers in the form of higher shipping fees.

Small and medium-sized importers are among the hardest hit by the sudden tariff hikes. Many are grappling with inventory shortages as the cost of importing goods has skyrocketed.

The e-commerce sector, heavily reliant on efficient logistics, has been particularly vulnerable to these disruptions. Platforms that depend on timely deliveries have faced significant challenges, with UPS delivery failures compounding the issues caused by tariff-impacted goods.

HuffPost: Trump Wants DOJ To Look Into His Go-To Gripe With ‘Gusto’

Though thoroughly debunked, the president wasn’t done squawking about what he called the “biggest SCANDAL in American history.”

President Donald Trump urged the Justice Department to look into election fraud with “gusto” as he rehashed his favorite grievance from the 2020 presidential race in a Sunday post on Truth Social.

Using the feds’ investigation into an illegal gambling ring with ties to pro basketball as his jumping off point, the president said, “What’s worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections.”

Biloxi Sun Herald: U.S. Navy Admiral Retires Early Amid Cartel Strikes

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has announced that U.S. Southern Command commander Admiral Alvin Holsey will retire at the end of the year after serving less than a year in the post. Lawmakers have criticized the decision, citing alleged legal and oversight concerns related to an expanded U.S. campaign of strikes in the Caribbean. A White House authorization reportedly permitting covert CIA lethal operations in Venezuela has also sparked controversy.

Holsey said, “It’s been an honor to serve our nation, the American people and support and defend the Constitution for over 37 years.” He added, “Serving as your commander and deputy for the past 34 months has been a tremendous honor.”

He should stay and refuse to carry out the illegal orders coming from Trump and Hegseth. Otherwise we will end up with a military run by war criminals and nincompoops.

The Hill: Opinion: Chicago Police, ICE and the fraying of the thin blue line

In the dispatch logs, federal agents reported they were boxed in by 10 vehicles, under attack and requested urgent backup. In response, the Chicago Police Chief of Patrol can be heard on dispatch recordings ordered: “No units will respond.”

Let that sink in: A law enforcement officer, in mortal danger, was denied assistance, not because there was no aid available, but because of a command decision not to send help.

Kudo to the Chicago PD for giving the ICE pigs the support that they deserved — NONE!

The ICE pigs (and Border Patrol) need to stand down and get the f*ck out of Chicago and other cities.

Western Journal: Border Patrol Faces Attacks from Violent Chicago Rioters on ‘Most Violent Days’ of Operation Midway Blitz

The price of enforcing the rules has been high as U.S. Border Patrol try to impose law on Democrat-run Chicago.

A Department of Homeland Security news release noted that Wednesday was “one of its most violent days since beginning Operation Midway Blitz.”

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that” agitators stalked law enforcement, rammed vehicles, fled scenes, injured agents, and caused multiple accidents across town—putting law enforcement and the public in danger.”

Mostly likely lies, give their track records in other arrests of innocent demonstrators, but to the extent, if any, that the charges are true: What goes around, comes around. ICE and the Border Patrol will get their just desserts.
