Grimes Publicly Pleads With Elon Musk to Respond to Their Child’s ‘Medical Crisis’

In a series of deleted posts on X, pop singer Grimes accused Elon Musk of ignoring her messages regarding a serious medical situation involving one of their children.

The New York Post reports that in a shocking public plea, singer Grimes took to her ex-partner Elon Musk’s own social media platform X with a plea for him to respond to her texts, calls, and emails about a “medical crisis” that one of their three children is currently facing. Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, claimed in multiple posts that Musk has been ignoring all of her communication attempts, forcing her to resort to a public outcry.

“Plz respond about our child’s medical crisis,” Grimes wrote in her since-deleted posts. “I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention.” She emphasized the urgency of the matter, stating, “If you don’t want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can so that we can move forward on solving this.”

Grimes did not specify which of her and Musk’s children was in distress. When a commenter suggested that going public might not help the situation, she underscored the severity of the issue, saying their child could “suffer life long impairment” if Musk does not respond promptly. “I’m not giving any details but he won’t respond to texts call or emails and has skipped every meeting and our child will suffer life long impairment if he doesn’t respond asap, so I need him to f–king respond and if I have to apply public pressure then I guess that’s where we are at,” she explained.

The Pentagon Purges Are About to Begin

The Pentagon is preparing to trim the fat. Liberals have been perennial whiners about the Defense Department’s budget—watch them complain about the thousands of layoffs that are being planned right now. The Pentagon purge is about to begin, with at least 5,000 layoffs (via WaPo):

The Pentagon said Friday it will fire about 5,400 civilian employees beginning next week in an “initial” purge to its workforce, as President Donald Trump’s hastily issued orders to shake up the Defense Department faced new scrutiny and officials scrambled to understand how such actions could affect national security.

The announcement followed a day of uncertainty, as administration officials paused a plan to begin firings now while evaluating requests to retain thousands of other employees deemed essential. A senior Pentagon official, Darin Selnick, said in a statement late Friday that the Trump administration intends to cull its workforce by between 5 and 8 percent. With more than 900,000 civilian employees in the Defense Department, tens of thousands of people could be forced out eventually.

Echoing a pronouncement made earlier by Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, Selnick said in his statement that “it is simply not in the public interest to retain individuals whose contributions are not mission-critical.”

[…]

The cuts will come after Trump administration officials, coordinating with billionaire Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service, have slashed thousands of employees elsewhere in the government as part of the president’s broad effort to dismantle the federal bureaucracy.

The Defense Department’s civilian worker purge is beginning with probationary employees, those who have one to three years of experience or who recently were promoted, according to officials familiar with the matter, who like some others spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the issue’s sensitivity. That pool of people numbers between 50,000 and 55,000, officials said.

After deliberations over the last day, the Pentagon has settled on firing about 10 percent of the probational employees, a defense official familiar with the effort said. A hiring freeze is expected to take hold next week, and administration officials plan to spend two to three months analyzing who else could be ousted, the official said.

Viral Buzz: Here Are the ‘Miracle Drugs’ Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson Are Raving About

Mel Gibson recently appeared on Joe Rogan’s popular podcast and, as you might imagine, he set the internet on fire. The two dove into a deep conversation about cancer and a so-called “miracle drug” that could be a game-changer, and the world was hooked.

That chat was interesting because Mel didn’t just discuss theories—he got personal. The Braveheart star revealed that several of his close friends had been battling stage 4 cancer. But the story took an interesting turn when Mel said that his friends experienced incredible results thanks to a combination of ivermectin and an obscure drug called fenbendazole, a medication typically used to treat parasitic infections like roundworms and threadworms.

Then came Mel’s bombshell—he told Joe Rogan that his friends who took these medications are now cancer-free.

We actually covered this story when it first broke:

But it was Mel’s story about his friends with cancer that truly changed everything. Three of his friends, all diagnosed with stage 4 cancer—a death sentence—took a combination of Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. Now? They’re cancer-free.

That’s right. From stage 4—a death sentence—to completely gone.

Potential McConnell Replacement Hired Obama Advisor, Donated To Nikki Haley Before Jumping On Trump Bandwagon

Nate Morris, who is flirting with a Republican run for former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat, has ties to former Democratic operatives and financially backed Nikki Haley after the 2020 presidential election.

Morris is fashioning himself as a Trump loyalist ahead of a possible Senate run, warning Kentuckians on X against electing “another Mitch McConnell puppet who will betray President Trump” and blasting McConnell for voting against some of the president’s cabinet nominees.

In a video Morris tweeted out Thursday after McConnell announced he would not be seeking reelection, Morris accused McConnell of “sabotage” against Trump and his agenda. He called for sending someone to Washington who is “going to fight with President Trump.”

However, a review of the Kentucky businessman’s X account showed that he only tweeted sparingly about Trump prior to 2025, save for sending prayers to the president after the July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania and asking him to provide grants and loans to his company and others in the waste industry during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Trump Floats Merging ‘Tremendous Loser’ Postal Service With Commerce Department

President Trump revealed Friday that he’s considering merging the US Postal Service with the Commerce Department.

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that his administration is looking at a “merger” of the two government institutions to increase efficiency.

“We want to have a post office that works well and doesn’t lose massive amounts of money, and we’re thinking about doing that, and will be a form of a merger, but it’ll remain the Postal Service, and I think it’ll operate a lot better than it has been over the years,” Trump said.

He had floated the consideration back in December after learning that the USPS lost $9.5 billion in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, according to the Washington Post. The astounding loss was up from $6.5 billion the previous year.

The Postal Service has blamed its increase in losses on a jump in worker compensation and pension liabilities. (Read more from “Trump Floats Merging ‘Tremendous Loser’ Postal Service With Commerce Department” HERE)

Notre Dame Undermines Catholic Mission In Pursuit Of DEI

The University of Notre Dame has been on a decades-long warpath of undermining its Catholic mission at the altar of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology. But that drive could be on a collision course with the Trump administration’s threat to revoke federal funding from DEI schools.

Just before the Jan. 20 inauguration of President Donald Trump, Notre Dame Provost John McGreevy sent a faculty-wide email stating that the hiring priorities of the school were to increase “the number of women and underrepresented minorities” and that those DEI goals were “equally important” to hiring Catholic faculty. That is one of the latest examples of the school’s dedication to the ideology dating back to at least the 1970s, as detailed in a new report from The Claremont Institute.

“They change Catholicism to be DEI, and while most places are moving in one direction on DEI, Notre Dame is moving in the other direction,” report author Scott Yenor, senior director of state coalitions at The Claremont Institute and political science professor at Boise State University, told The Federalist. “Few conservative or traditional aspects of campus life have grown as quickly or with as much administrative enthusiasm as the DEI efforts have grown in the past several years.”

Yenor said the “worst thing in the report” was McGreevy’s email, especially since the timing was just days before Trump was set to be sworn in after being elected on a mandate to end things like DEI. He said it signaled a “note of defiance.”

“One important goal is to hire Catholic faculty and other faculty deeply committed to our mission to ensure continuity with our past and our future as the world’s leading global Catholic research university,” McGreevy’s email stated. “A second overlapping and equally important goal is to increase the number of women and underrepresented minorities on our faculty so that we become the diverse and inclusive intellectual community our mission urges us to be.” (Read more from “Notre Dame Undermines Catholic Mission In Pursuit Of DEI” HERE)

‘Shot’ From the Secretary: RFK Jr. Issues 2 Orders to Rein In HHS

There’s no doubt that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has had in a mind a thorough rebuild of the American health care system for his tenure as secretary of Health and Human Services.

He’s long objected to some parts of America’s vaccination regime, and has been a harsh critic of the fact there are so many chronic diseases in children.

He just started on his agenda, with two orders.

The Daily Mail reports he has pulled a campaign that was intended to promote flu shots to Americans, and he has postponed a meeting of a team of vaccine advisers.

The first order concerned the CDC’s “Wild to Mild” flu shot promotions, the report said. They “juxtaposed” a lion next to a kitten in a claim that the shot “tamed” the virus. (Read more from “‘Shot’ From the Secretary: RFK Jr. Issues 2 Orders to Rein In HHS” HERE)

In Ukraine Interview, Rubio Gives Master Class In Handling Foreign Affairs

Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out a common-sense approach to U.S. foreign policy by suggesting American diplomacy should work in American interests, and that when countries like Ukraine receive billions from U.S. taxpayers, it’s not too much to expect some “gratitude.”

In an interview with former CBS reporter Catherine Herridge published on X Thursday, Rubio outlined those interests by first reminding viewers that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s antagonism against the White House predates the Trump administration.

“Joe Biden had frustrations with Zelensky, people shouldn’t forget it,” Rubio said.

The State Department chief referenced reports that then-President Biden lost composure with the Ukrainian president because, rather than saying “thank you for all your help,” Zelensky “is immediately out there messaging what we’re not doing, or what he’s not getting.”

NSA Emphasizes ‘Strong Defensive Posture’ as It Responds to Report It Hacked China

A new analysis exposing the National Security Agency’s alleged hack of a Chinese university sent shock waves through the cybersecurity community this week, with granular details of the communist country’s investigative findings spilling out into the open.

The Australia-based researcher Lina Lau, who uses the pseudonym @inversecos online, published a detailed breakdown of China’s work to hunt the NSA hackers that Beijing believes penetrated Northwestern Polytechnical University, located in the city of Xi’an.

Asked about the accuracy of Ms. Lau’s work, an NSA senior official offered a lengthy statement that criticized China’s cyber operations — but contained no denial that the U.S. agency had hacked the university.

“NSA is unwavering in its commitment to equipping network defenders with timely, actionable guidance to safeguard critical infrastructure against the growing and evolving landscape of cyber threats,” the official said. “We recognize the importance of maintaining a strong defense posture, and we remain dedicated to strengthening the security of our digital networks and those of America’s defense industrial base.” (Read more from “NSA Emphasizes ‘Strong Defensive Posture’ as It Responds to Report It Hacked China” HERE)

White House Warns Zelensky to ‘Tone Down’ Trump Criticism and Sign Rare-Earths Deal as Peace Talk Tensions Simmer; Zelensky Praises ‘Productive Meeting’ With Trump Envoy

By New York Post. National security adviser Mike Waltz warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday to “tone it down” when it came to his “unacceptable” criticism of President Trump.

Zelensky, 47, has lashed out at Trump, 78, for excluding Kyiv from US-Russia talks held in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday and batted down a reported offer for Washington to take 50% ownership of Ukraine’s rare-earth deposits valued at $500 billion.

“For all the administration has done in his first term … and all the United States has done for Ukraine — is just, it’s unacceptable,” Waltz said in a morning appearance on “Fox & Friends.”

“They need to tone it down,” the former Florida Republican congressman added, “and take a hard look and sign that deal.”

In an afternoon White House press briefing, Waltz said Zelensky had lobbed “insults” at the American president.

Waltz also claimed that the proposed rare-earths deal had included “the best security guarantee that they [Ukrainians] could hope for, much more than another pallet of ammunition.” (Read more from “White House Warns Zelensky to ‘Tone Down’ Trump Criticism and Sign Rare-Earths Deal as Peace Talk Tensions Simmer” HERE)

Zelensky Praises ‘Productive Meeting’ With Trump Envoy Keith Kellogg

By Breitbart. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday he had a “productive meeting” with retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, who was acting as President Donald Trump’s envoy for Ukraine and Russia.

The upbeat meeting seemed to scale back a growing confrontation between Zelensky and Trump over bilateral U.S. peace negotiations with Russia.

“I had a productive meeting with Special Envoy Kellogg – a good discussion, many important details. I am grateful to the United States for all the assistance and bipartisan support for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,” Zelensky said on social media Thursday afternoon.

“It’s important for us – and for the entire free world – that American strength is felt,” the Ukrainian president said.

“We had a detailed conversation about the battlefield situation, how to return our prisoners of war, and effective security guarantees,” he said. (Read more from “Zelensky Praises ‘Productive Meeting’ With Trump Envoy Keith Kellogg” HERE)
