Trump’s ‘American Flag Blue’ Reflecting Pool Turns Nasty Green After $14M Glow-Up — Admin Blames Obama

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool still needs some algae emancipation.

Just days after the iconic Reflecting Pool reopened following President Trump’s $14 million renovation to seal the concrete bottom with an “American flag blue,” its familiar gnarly-looking green algae once again took over.

“Versus previous administrations, the National Park Service is actually maintaining the beautifully completed Reflecting Pool,” a spokesperson for the Department of the Interior told The Post.

“The nanobubbler technology has successfully destroyed the algae bloom that has plagued every pool reopening since 1922, most infamously, the Obama pool reopening that resulted in massive algae clumps taking over the pool’s surface,” the spokesperson went on.

“Now, due to deploying the advanced nanobubbler technology, the algae is dead and being vacuumed up as we speak. We thank President Trump for fixing the Reflecting Pool for good.” (Read more from “Trump’s ‘American Flag Blue’ Reflecting Pool Turns Nasty Green After $14M Glow-Up — Admin Blames Obama” HERE)

Actress Elliot Page Mocked Ruthlessly after Trying to Define ‘Healthy Masculinity’

decade after starring in “Inception,” lesbian actress Ellen Page committed to her most challenging role yet: living her real life as an effeminate, short-haired transvestite named “Elliot Page.”

Page had her healthy breasts surgically removed, then announced in a Dec. 1, 2020, social media post, “I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot.”

Having now played the role of Elliot for over five years, the biological female — who divorced her “wife” and leaned into her LGBT activism following the “transition” — now apparently feels sufficiently qualified to define what constitutes “healthy masculinity.”

As part of a broader media tour for her new LGBT propaganda film, “Second Nature,” Page recently sat down with the eponymous host of “It’s Open with Illana Glazer” for a heart-to-heart.

After claiming that the “gender binary … just doesn’t exist” and alluding to testosterone’s transformative impact on her baseline aggression, Page stated that healthy masculinity is “leaning away from whenever there is some sort of impulse or expectation you’ve put on yourself to, like, shut down or conform in a way that usually feels like this — like I am closing off.” (Read more from “Actress Elliot Page Mocked Ruthlessly after Trying to Define ‘Healthy Masculinity’” HERE)

Longtime GOP Senator Hospitalized

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was hospitalized Sunday morning, his spokesman has confirmed.

“Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care,” David Popp said Sunday, according to NBC News. Popp did not disclose the reason for the admission.

Two of McConnell’s neighbors reported witnessing the senator being placed into an ambulance outside his D.C. house, Reuters reported.

Alarm bells have been rung over McConnell’s health in recent years. In February, he spent a week in the hospital over “flu-like symptoms.” He also displayed multiple freeze-up incidents while speaking on camera in 2023.

McConnell, a childhood polio survivor, has been seen using a wheelchair to get around the Capitol on multiple occasions. It was described as a “precautionary” measure last year after falling down a small flight of stairs. An earlier fall left the senator out of work for several weeks with a concussion and rib fracture while a separate incident resulted in a sprained wrist.

Three Children Shot near Public Pool in Small Town, Suspect Taken into Custody

Multiple children were shot over the weekend after gunfire broke out near a recreational public pool in Stuttgart, Arkansas, authorities said.

Officers responded Saturday just before 5 p.m. local time to reports of shots fired at John Cain Aquatic Center, the Stuttgart Police Department said in a statement.

Three children suffered gunshot wounds and were rushed to a local hospital, according to police. One child suffered a gunshot wound to the chest, though police did not elaborate on the injuries of the other two children who were shot.

A suspect was taken into custody within minutes of the incident with help from the Arkansas County Sheriff’s Office, police said in a social media post.

“At this time, no names will be released, as all parties involved are juveniles,” the department noted.

In a statement on Facebook, the John Cain Aquatic Center said the aquatic center will be closed “until further notice.” (Read more from “Three Children Shot near Public Pool in Small Town, Suspect Taken into Custody” HERE)

Huge B-52 Stratofortress Explodes in Fireball at California Air Force Base

An $85 million nuclear-capable B-52 Stratofortress has crashed in a huge explosion at California’s Edwards Air Force Base.

A massive cloud of black smoke appeared in the skies above Kern County after the enormous military jet smashed into the ground shortly after takeoff.

Other images showed the smoldering remains of the aircraft with a massive black shadow across the site where it made impact.

The base posted on X just after noon: “A United States Air Force B-52 Stratofortress crashed shortly after takeoff on the Edwards airfield at 11:20 a.m.

“Emergency crews immediately responded to the scene and the situation is ongoing. More information will be provided as it becomes available.”

In an update, it added: “The airfield has been closed, and all inbound aircraft are being diverted. All non-commercial visitor passes have been suspended until further notice to allow the installation to focus entirely on emergency response operations.” It’s currently unclear if anyone was injured in the crash.

Oil Prices Sink to Lowest Levels in Months after Trump Touts Iran Deal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz — Here’s When Gas Prices Could Drop

Crude oil prices sank to their lowest levels since at least March, and gasoline prices are expected to start dipping within a week or two, following President Trump’s announcement of an agreement with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Brent crude oil prices dropped 4.8% Monday to settle at $83.17 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude plunged nearly 5% to $80.75 a barrel. US oil had briefly dropped below the $80 mark for the first time since March in early trading.

Though still higher than pre-war prices, the crude benchmarks fell to three-month lows after earlier hitting as high as $126 a barrel during the Middle East conflict.

Currently, prices at the gas pump are hovering around $4.06 per gallon, according to the latest data from the American Automobile Association.”If the peace holds, expect gas prices to begin dropping over the next one to two weeks in response to the decrease in crude oil prices,” Matthew Reisener, a senior national security analyst at the Center for Maritime Strategy, told The Post.

“However, it will likely take several months for gas prices to reach their pre-war levels,” Reisener added. “The uptick in oil tankers transiting the Strait in the coming weeks will increase the global crude oil supply and lower prices, but it will take some time for maritime traffic to fully resume, and many Gulf states suffered significant damage to their oil and gas infrastructure during the war, which will take time to repair.” (Read more from “Oil Prices Sink to Lowest Levels in Months after Trump Touts Iran Deal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz — Here’s When Gas Prices Could Drop” HERE)

Josh Hokit Rants ‘Michelle Obama is a man’ in Bizarre UFC White House Scene

Josh Hokit made sure he went viral on Sunday night at the UFC White House card.

For all of the good that the UFC had on Sunday with seven fights that all ended by finish on the South Lawn of the White House, Hokkit – an American-born wrestler who was indirectly thrust into the spotlight at the request of President Donald Trump – may have halted all of his momentum with his post-fight press conference despite a TKO win over Derrick Lewis.

“Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?” Hokit said on the White House South Lawn after giving props to President Trump for putting on the event to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

After Hokit’s earth-shattering decision win over Curtis Blaydes in Miami at UFC 327 in April, President Trump, who was in attendance at the time, asked why another heavyweight, Lewis, wasn’t on the White House card.

UFC President Dana White ran to Hokit to offer him a fight on the White House card, which he graciously accepted. (Read more from “Josh Hokit Rants ‘Michelle Obama is a man’ in Bizarre UFC White House Scene” HERE)

35 Missing Children Recovered Ahead Of World Cup Matches

The United States Marshalls Service (USMS) recovered 35 missing children in Massachusetts in an operation preparing for the FIFA World Cup matches.

USMS published a statement Thursday announcing that the “District of Massachusetts (D/MA) and partner agencies at the Massachusetts State Police, Boston Police, and Essex, Plymouth, and Suffolk District Attorneys’ Offices” rescued 35 children and “safely reunited with family members or placed with appropriate protective services.”

The operation, which began in April, will run through the end of the World Cup in mid-July. The State Department estimates the U.S. will receive as many as 10 million tourists this summer for the World Cup games.

The children were recovered as a part of “Operation Yellow Card,” described as a “targeted, high-impact missing child operational initiative designed to locate and recover endangered youth within and from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts prior to and throughout the upcoming FIFA World Cup soccer tournament.”

Operation Yellow Card is in “anticipation of the influx of hundreds of thousands of international visitors and spectators,” according to the USMS statement. “Law enforcement agencies have implemented proactive measures to identify and protect vulnerable missing children who have an elevated risk of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.”

Gavin Newsom says He’s Being Investigated by Department of Justice: ‘Donald Trump is coming after me’

Gov. Gavin Newsom accused President Trump directing the US Department of Justice to investigate him, his wife, and other family members as an act of political retaliation as he considers a run for president in 2028.

Sources close to Newsom have told other media outlets that the investigation focuses on nonprofit projects connected to Jennifer Siebel Newsom, one of which The California Post revealed in March has received millions from special interests doing business with Newsom and the state; and second, a corruption case involving the governor’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, who pleaded guilty last month after illegally helping a former client being sued by the state, amongst other crimes.

“In recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends, and former employees, not because they found a crime, because they’re simply trying to find one,” Newsom said in a video posted to X.

“They’re demanding records, they’re abusing the grand jury process, digging through years and years of random documents. Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean tweets, he’s coming after me because I’m considering running for president, because he hates that I’ve consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit.”

The federal inquiries into Gov. Gavin Newsom are believed to be connected to nonprofits linked to his wife and a prior corruption case tied to his former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, according to The New York Times.

ICE Agents Arrest Illegal Aliens Convicted of Pedophilia, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is continuing to arrest illegal aliens across the United States, including most recently those convicted of child sexual abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, and drug trafficking, among other crimes, Breitbart News has learned.

“Over the weekend, while Americans enjoyed UFC Freedom 250 in our nation’s capital, the men and women of ICE law enforcement were hard at work arresting pedophiles, drug traffickers, and other violent criminals,” the Department of Homeland Security’s Lauren Bis said.

Among those illegal aliens arrested over the weekend are Miguel Gorasieta Jaimes of Mexico, convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child in Harris County, Texas, and Teodolo Resendiz-Figueroa of Mexico, convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child and three counts of lewd act upon a child in Los Angeles, California.

ICE agents also arrested Cesar Martin Sanchez-Martinez of Mexico, who was previously convicted of felony vehicular assault and child abuse with serious bodily injury in Arapahoe County, Colorado, as well as Urbano Estrada-Santizo of Guatemala, convicted of drunk driving and felony incest in Nashville, Tennessee.

Edinson Amador of the Dominican Republic was similarly arrested after having been convicted of drug trafficking cocaine in Boston, Massachusetts. (Read more from “ICE Agents Arrest Illegal Aliens Convicted of Pedophilia, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence” HERE)
