Kenny Loggins is NOT happy.
Singer Kenny Loggins demanded that his song be removed from a meme President Donald Trump posted on Saturday.
In a statement shared with Variety on Monday, the musician slammed Trump for using his “Danger Zone” track in an A.I.-generated post in which Trump dumped fecal matter on “No Kings” protesters from an F-18 fighter jet.
“This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone.’ Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately,” Loggins said.
And here’s how the Orange House responded.
The White House has shared a trolling response in regards to Kenny Loggins demanding the removal of the unauthorized use of his song “Danger Zone” in President Donald Trump’ s A.I.-generated video dumping what appears to be poop on protestors.
When Entertainment Weekly contacted the White House with a request for comment about Loggins’ statement, an official representative sent the Top Gun meme (below) in an email:
The meme is a still from Top Gun (Maverick and Goose walking away from the jet on the flightline) with the following text on the picture:
Yet another criminal pardoned by the criminal-in-chief commits a crime.
A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Court documents obtained by CBS News said Christopher Moynihan was arrested Sunday after saying in text messages that he planned to “eliminate” Jeffries when the top House Democrat spoke at an event in New York City on Monday.
Jeffries spoke at the Economic Club of New York on Monday.
Moynihan was arraigned Tuesday and entered a plea of not guilty.
According to a court filing by prosecutors in the New York state criminal case, Moynihan wrote, “Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live.”
Moynihan also allegedly stated: “Even if I am hated, he must be eliminated, I will kill him for the future,” the filing said.
Moynihan faces a felony charge of making a terroristic threat, according to court filings shared by prosecutors.
And how did Congressman Jeffries react? (The bolding is mine.)
In a statement on Tuesday, Jeffries noted that Moynihan had been pardoned by Mr. Trump on his first day in office and that "many of the criminals released have committed additional crimes throughout the country ." But Jeffries added that “threats of violence will not stop us from showing up, standing up and speaking up for the American people.”
No, it’s not hyperbole to call it the Felon’s News Network.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham is joining a venture with Donald Trump Jr. after years of framing Hunter Biden ’s business dealings as a conflict of interest for President Joe Biden .
In a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, Oct. 17 — which was first reported by Bloomberg — Ingraham and Don Jr. are named as directors of “Colombier Acquisition Corp. III,” a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that is seeking to raise $260 million in an initial public offering in order to acquire another company.
The CEO of the Cayman Islands-based SPAC is Omeed Malik, co-founder and managing partner of the MAGA-aligned venture capital fund 1789 Capital. Following Donald Trump ’s 2024 election win, Don Jr., 47, announced that he was joining 1789 Capital rather than serving an official role in his father’s second administration.
Ingraham’s involvement with Don Jr. on a MAGA-oriented venture introduces what some have characterized as potential conflicts of interest as she continues to regularly cover President Trump and his family on her show. The Ingraham Angle , which airs on Fox News every weeknight, covers politics, business and legal matters.
Pentagon press pool has dwindled to fifteen. (The bolding is mine.)
After dozens of veteran reporters rejected the Defense Department’s prohibitive new press policy , and handed in their media badges this week , the only journalists left with credentials to enter the Pentagon were a mix of freelancers, foreign media members and staffers from MAGA-boosting outlets .
Dozens of print and broadcast journalists walked out of the Pentagon Wednesday in the wake of nearly every American news organization – including Trump-friendly networks Fox News and Newsmax – refusing to follow Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s media restrictions.
Among the new rules laid out in Hegseth’s 21-page policy , which he gave credentialed journalists until Tuesday evening to acknowledge, was a ban on reporters soliciting any information – classified or otherwise – from government employees without prior authorization from the Pentagon.
Color me unsurprised.
The felon’s revenge tour is now seeking targets from the Deep State.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A group of dozens of officials from across the federal government, including U.S. intelligence officers, has been helping to steer President Donald Trump’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies, according to government records and a source familiar with the effort.
The Interagency Weaponization Working Group, which has been meeting since at least May, has drawn officials from the White House, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Justice and Defense Departments, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Communications Commission, among other agencies, two of the documents show.
Trump issued an executive order on his inauguration day in January instructing the attorney general to work with other federal agencies “to identify and take appropriate action to correct past misconduct by the federal government related to the weaponization of law enforcement and the weaponization of the Intelligence Community.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard earlier this year announced groups within their agencies to “root out” those who they say misused government power against Trump.
Shortly after Reuters asked the agencies for comment on Monday, Fox News reported the existence of the group, citing Gabbard as saying she “stood up this working group.” Key details in the Reuters story are previously unreported.
And why is there an “interagency weaponization group” in the first place?
The interagency group’s mission is “basically to go after 'the Deep State,’” the source said. The term is used by Trump and his supporters to refer to the president’s perceived foes from the Obama and Biden administrations and his own first term.
Reuters could not determine the extent to which the interagency group has put its plans into action. The news agency also could not establish Trump’s involvement in the group.
But his targets are certainly identifiable.
Among those discussed by the interagency group, the source said, were former FBI Director James Comey; Anthony Fauci, Trump’s chief medical advisor on the COVID-19 pandemic; and former top U.S. military commanders who implemented orders to make COVID-19 vaccinations compulsory for servicemembers. Discussions of potential targets have ranged beyond current and former government employees to include former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, the source said.
ICE wants YOU if you’re a health care worker.
The Trump administration is expanding its ranks of health care providers who work in immigration detention centers around the country as deaths in custody mount and federal oversight is weakened by layoffs.
The push by the Department of Homeland Security to hire more than 40 doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, pharmacists and health administrators follows the revelation that nearly as many immigrants have died in custody so far this year than over the course of the Biden administration, according to government records.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reported 20 detainee deaths in custody since President Donald Trump took office — the most in a single year in decades — compared to 24 deaths in the Biden administration. The 2025 figure was provided by the office of Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the ranking member on the House subcommittee overseeing DHS. The overall death rate is lower given that the number of detained immigrants is at a record high.
“Let God sort them out” is not a viable plan.
The wannabe dictator is certainly no diplomat.
Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky were relatively cordial at a luncheon meeting in front of reporters Friday, but the goodwill reportedly devolved into a “shouting match” when the two leaders disappeared behind closed doors.
The Financial Times reported Sunday that Trump warned the Ukrainian president to accept Russia’s terms for ending the war lest Russian leader Vladimir Putin “destroy” Ukraine.
“The meeting between the US and Ukrainian presidents descended many times into a ‘shouting match,’ with Trump ‘cursing all the time,’ people familiar with the matter said,” according to the report.
Trump, in addition, reportedly insisted that Zelensky surrender the entire Donbas region to Russia, a point pushed by Putin during a White House call the day before. Putin reportedly told Trump on Thursday that he would forfeit “some small areas of the two southern frontline regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia” in exchange for it.
“During Friday’s meeting, Trump appeared to have adopted many of Putin’s talking points verbatim, even when they contradicted his own recent statements about Russia’s weaknesses, said European officials briefed on the meeting,” the report said, , continuing:
According to a European official with knowledge of the meeting, Trump told Zelenskyy that Putin had told him the conflict was a “special operation, not even a war”, adding that the Ukrainian leader needed to cut a deal or face destruction.
The official said that Trump told Zelenskyy he was losing the war, warning: “If [Putin] wants it, he will destroy you.”
At one point in the meeting, the US president threw Ukraine’s maps of the battlefield to one side, the official familiar with the encounter said. According to the official, Trump said he was “sick” of seeing the map of the frontline of Ukraine again and again.
Don’t you love how the American president, supposedly the most powerful man on the planet took his marching orderss from Putin?
Check out Hegseth’s tie.
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon’s top press aide is horning in on White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s childhood insult game, telling HuffPost that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wore a tie that resembles the Russian flag because “your mom bought it for him.”
Hegseth wore that neckwear during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the White House Friday, for which he won compliments from a top aide to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and the official Russian news agency, TASS, because its red, white and blue stripes match the pattern of Russia’s flag.
Nice touch, wearing that particular pattern when meeting with Ukraine’s president. As usual, the response from this particular herd pretending to govern was mature and dignified. I kid!
When HuffPost asked Hegseth’s aides if he was aware of the praise from Russia and if he had worn the tie previously, Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell responded with the prepared statement: “Your mom bought it for him — and it’s a patriotic American tie, moron.”
And that got Parnell a quick reminder about the US flag code.
HuffPost then followed up with a question asking if Hegseth — who frequently wears clothes made up of pieces of the U.S. ensign — was aware of the U.S. flag code, which states in part: “The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.”
And that got a laughable response.
But, hey, at least he didn’t emulate his boss and fuck the flag on a stage.
The felon and his herd seem to not realize the key to using social media is to be social.
President Donald Trump’s White House is already the second most-blocked account on Bluesky, just days after joining the platform. The only account ahead of it on the block list? It belongs to Vice President JD Vance .
The White House joined Bluesky on Friday evening, and less than 48 hours later, it has been blocked by more than 92,000 users, according to VQV, an app that tracks Bluesky stats. Vance has racked up 166,000 blocks since joining the platform in June.
That means at this rate, the White House will leapfrog the vice president for the infamous, or venerable, depending on who you ask, position of being the most-blocked account on Bluesky.
