Earlier this week, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales blasted a Muslim-only event for taking over a water park in Grand Prairie, Texas — and Governor Greg Abbott (R) swiftly threatened to pull funding from the city and shut it down.

What initially caught Gonzales’ eye was the event flyer, which said “Muslims only” twice. The flyer was later updated to say “modest dress only” once it became a topic of controversy.

“I want to just set the record straight, because I know there’s been a lot of confusion. You did have the ‘Muslims only’ on the original flyer, and then you changed it and updated it on the site to read ‘modest dress only,’ correct?” Gonzales asks the organizer of the event, Dr. Aminah Knight.

“Absolutely, absolutely,” Knight responds.

Knight explains that in years past, the flyer has only been circulated privately and never caused any issues until now.

“A few days ago, the New York Post contacted me, and they said, ‘Hey, did you know that your flyer in this event is going viral?’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’” Knight tells Gonzales.

“And then my husband also let me know, ‘Hey, there’s this guy who, he’s kind of historic for having Islamaphobic rhetoric, to be honest. He got ahold of the flyer, and he is saying, “Oh my gosh, the Muslims are doing this event. They’re trying to exclude people” and X, Y, and Z,'” she continues.

“And so I quickly changed the flyer,” she adds.

“It does read like you were trying to exclude non-Muslims, and I just wonder, you know, I know that you feel like you were wronged in this, but I just wonder if you feel like it would be fair for, say, a private group to rent out a publicly funded water park and put on, you know, their posters, ‘This is for whites only,’” Gonzales argues.

Knight responds that unlike white people, marginalized groups like the black and Muslim communities “oftentimes need to take a moment to gather, fortify each other and then go back out into the world.”

She also tells Gonzales that at the heart of the event are young Muslim girls, whom she wants to inspire to dress modestly in a society where the “standard of beauty that they see around them has to do with how sexy they are and how much of their skin they can show.”

“My question actually was how is this any different than … a whites-only, you know, KKK party at a publicly funded water park?” Gonzales says, pointing out that there are discrimination laws under which you cannot have private events that exclude people based on religion.

“So how do you think that that’s OK?” she asks.

“Muslims uphold a modest dress code, and we’re celebrating our EID events. … I didn’t think anything was wrong with that,” Knight responds, later telling Gonzales that she did not expect Gonzales to “be so aggressive.”

“By asking if it would be OK if we could do a whites-only event as well and how that was different?” Gonzales asks.

“It’s just your tone,” Knight says.

An elderly man has died after the suspect in his killing — who was in police custody just hours earlier — shoved him down subway entrance steps in New York City on Thursday night, police told WCBS-TV.

The attack against the 76-year-old man occurred just before 9:30 p.m. in the city’s Chelsea neighborhood at West 18th Street and 7th Avenue, the station said.

‘Disgusting.’

Responding officers found Ross Falzone on the subway stairs with head injuries, WCBS said, adding that he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition and later died.

The station said police believe they know who carried out the crime since the suspect was taken into custody earlier Thursday.

Police told WCBS that officers around 3:30 p.m. Thursday encountered the suspect behaving erratically outside the NYPD’s 17th Precinct.

The male was taken into custody, the station said, and officers brought him to Bellevue Hospital. WCBS said he was taken to the psychiatric emergency room for evaluation — and released an hour later.

Surveillance video around 9:30 p.m. Thursday recorded Falzone approaching the subway — and the same male who had been taken into custody earlier in the day was seen walking quickly behind him and then shoving the elderly victim down the steps, police told WCBS.

Falzone struck his head about halfway down the steps, the station added.

Emergency responders were called, WCBS said, adding that Falzone was rushed to Bellevue Hospital but died just before 3 a.m. Friday.

Police are searching for the suspect, the station said, adding that the NYPD hasn’t released his name or description.

Observers commenting under the WCBS video report about the elderly man’s death are beyond done. Some examples:

“This is what you vote for in blue city NY,” one commenter said.”Disgusting,” another user stated.”There will be no justice,” another commenter lamented.”The powers that be do this because they’re not scared of being dragged out and held accountable,” another user declared.

A Utah Supreme Court justice resigned from the court after being accused of a conflict of interest from a personal relationship with the former attorney for the League of Women Voters.

Justice Diana Hagen recused herself from all cases involving David Reymann in May 2025, but new suspicions were raised due to allegations from her ex-husband.

She claimed that she recused herself from cases involving Reymann after reconnecting.

Reymann had been the lead attorney arguing that Republican redistricting efforts in the state were illegal.

The complaint alleging Hagen had been biased in siding against redistricting was submitted to both Chief Justice Matthew Durrant and the Judicial Conduct Commission in Dec. 2025.

Hagen denied any wrongdoing.

“The insinuation that I was ethically compromised while carrying out my official duties is patently false,” she said in a previous statement.

She admitted that she reconnected with friends in the wake of her failed marriage in 2025, and one of those friends was Reymann. She claimed that she recused herself from cases involving Reymann after reconnecting.

The Utah Supreme Court dismissed the complaint after an investigation.

“As the sole entity authorized to investigate allegations of misconduct against a judge, the Judicial Conduct Commission received the allegations in their entirety and conducted an independent investigation,” the court said. “The Judicial Conduct Commission completed their investigation in accordance with their constitutional and statutory authority and dismissed the complaint against Justice Hagen.”

The court added that some related documents had been “inappropriately released to the public.”

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) said that the state would announce the process to fill Hagen’s seat in the coming days.

Hagen was nominated to the highest Utah court by Gov. Cox in 2022.

President Donald Trump announced a temporary ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine that involved a large prisoner exchange.

The president said in a post on the Truth Social platform that the ceasefire was made at his request and would last for three days beginning May 9.

‘Talks are continuing on ending this Major Conflict, the biggest since World War II, and we are getting closer and closer every day.’

“The Celebration in Russia is for Victory Day but, likewise, in Ukraine, because they were also a big part and factor of World War II,” Trump wrote.

“This request was made directly by me, and I very much appreciate its agreement by President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” he continued.

The agreement includes a swap of 1,000 prisoners from each country.

The ceasefire will ensure that Russia’s annual commemoration of the Soviet Union victory over Nazi Germany in World War II can go forth without any threat from Ukraine. A Victory Day parade usually includes a procession of missiles, soldiers, and tanks, but it has been scaled back this year, possibly because of Russians’ frustration with war against Ukraine.

Zelenskyy thanked the president in a post on social media and said he expected the U.S. to “ensure” that Russia fulfilled its part of the agreement.

“Red Square is less important to us than the lives of Ukrainian prisoners who can be brought home,” Zelenskyy said.

Trump went on to express hope that the ceasefire might lead to a permanent end to the war.

“Talks are continuing on ending this Major Conflict, the biggest since World War II, and we are getting closer and closer every day,” he added.

Zelenskyy previously announced a ceasefire, and Russia suggested a ceasefire. However, their dates did not match up.

While official estimates vary, some place the number of Russian casualties in the war at higher than 1.2 million, while Ukraine has suffered between 500,000 and 600,000 casualties.

According to many critics, former reality TV star and registered Republican Spencer Pratt spanked incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and democratic socialist City Councilmember Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral debate on Wednesday night, with Fox News rating Pratt’s performance a “10/10 no notes.”

But even though Pratt delivered crisp answers, brought charismatic energy, exceeded expectations as a first-time debate performer, and has even outraised both Bass and Raman, Christopher Rufo and Jonathan Keeperman, BlazeTV hosts of “Rufo and Lomez,” aren’t sure it’s enough to bring him to victory.

But there is one faint hope that could push him over the edge.

“A reality television career, a media savvy campaign, an outsider political movement — can you actually bridge that gap and become … the mayor of Los Angeles?” Rufo asks skeptically.

He admits that the alternatives are bleak: “You have Karen Bass, the sitting mayor of L.A., who was a member of the Venceremos Brigade communist Cuban front group. … And then the third character is Nithya Raman … a hard-left democratic socialist in the vein of a Mamdani or a Saikat Chakrabarti, who ran the AOC campaign early on.”

Bass and Raman, Rufo explains, “are fighting over the actual power system in L.A. — who gets the union money, who gets the activist money, who gets the nonprofit money, who gets the public money, meaning who can dominate those institutions and ride them to power.”

Pratt’s “media-centric” campaign, albeit “savvy” and compelling, may not be enough to “overcome those institutions,” he says.

Co-host Jonathan Keeperman agrees: “It’s not even whether or not he runs a good campaign or whether this media strategy is effective or not. … It’s just a numbers game.”

He explains that the reality is that most of the people who will show up to vote in L.A.’s mayoral election are people who are “dependent on the state and city governance in some capacity for their livelihood.”

“They are working for the state probably and/or working for some kind of NGO that is itself working for the state, and so most of the voters here — and it’s largely going to be driven by union turnout — are dependent on precisely the institutions that someone like Karen Bass is promising to sort of keep intact and keep funding,” Keeperman predicts.

Pratt’s “only hope,” he says, is that enough “sideline” voters recognize that the horrific wildfires that destroyed thousands of acres and killed 31 people in January 2025 were due to “the failure of democratic governance.”

“I don’t mean to be a doomer here or sound too pessimistic, but no matter what Pratt does in terms of raising his profile at the national level and getting on social media … you’re just talking about a very narrow set of voters in the city of L.A., and they’re dependent on the city of L.A. government structure for their livelihood,” he says.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made a statement in more ways than one Monday night.

Johnson appeared at the 2026 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where he was asked — alongside his wife — about wearing a skirt.

‘We rock skirts.’

Not to be outdone by wife Lauren Hashian’s elegant white dress, the former WWE star showed up to the annual society shindig in a black mohair tailcoat and a bow tie, accessorized with a pleated skirt from designer Thom Browne.

“I feel great!” he replied, when reporters inquired about his bottom half.

Culture club

“Look, in our culture, Polynesian culture, we rock lavalavas, we rock skirts,” the former Division 1 college football player said.

Johnson is half Samoan and a member of the legendary Anoaʻi family, who has deep ties in professional wrestling. The lavalavas are traditional Polynesian attire, often recognized for their floral patterns.

“The most masculine men, not that I’m one of them, but the most masculine men wear lavalavas and skirts,” Johnson reiterated.

Browne-ie points

While designer Browne currently lists 10 “men’s skirts” on his website, the one most similar to Johnson’s is the wool seersucker utility belt pleated skirt, which sells for just under $2,500.

Browne has long been known for his gender-bending designs. He’s also dabbled in politics. In 2020, he designed a scarf that read “Believe in Better.” The proceeds were donated to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

Other cross-dressing attendees at the Met Gala included Colorado-born actor Connor Storrie and Jacksonville, Florida’s own Tyriq Withers. London-based singer Sam Smith, known for his obscene and often demonic looks, did not disappoint in that regard either.

Final boss

There was also a strong contingent of transgender representation at the gala, including brother of actor Pedro Pascal, Lux, born Lucas Balmaceda Pascal. He wore a rather traditional gala dress.

Raising the bar even higher was Aaron Rose Philip, who was feted online for being the “first Black transgender woman with quadriplegic cerebral palsy signed to a major modeling agency.”

A bizarre post from NBC News about Kyle Rittenhouse has led to the news outlet getting absolutely crushed by critics for blatant bias.

Rittenhouse became a hero on the right after he went to a violent anti-police protest in Wisconsin in 2020 and shot three men who were attacking him, killing two of them. A jury later acquitted him on charges related to the shooting.

‘This tweet is objectively insane.’

While reporting on a recent development with Rittenhouse involving a spider bite, NBC News whitewashed the 2020 riot and insinuated that he may actually be guilty.

“Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin, was hospitalized after he was bitten by a venomous spider, the noted firearms enthusiast says,” read the post from NBC.

Critics of the mainstream media pounced on the description as the latest manifestation of media bias.

“This post is a good example of liberal legacy media disinformation,” responded journalist Andy Ngo.

“It is always a challenge to decide whether NBC employees are moronic or lying gutter scum. Maybe it’s just always both,” replied media critic Dan Gainor.

“Wow how illiterate could you actually be? I have not seen a more ignorant take in a very long time. Even for NBC, this stands out,” said another critic on the X platform.

“Look, people can have different views of Rittenhouse and his actions. But this tweet is objectively insane,” read another popular post.

“The wordsmithing of this headline is exactly the reason people hate and distrust the MSM,” said another user. “Leftist shills and hacks, virtually indistinguishable from Pravda. Zero journalistic objectivity or integrity.”

The NBC News post went viral with more than 4.8 million views in less than 24 hours.

RELATED: Kyle Rittenhouse sued by estate of the convicted child molester he blew away in self-defense

Others used the occasion to register their animosity against Rittenhouse.

“Is the spider ok?” replied one user.

The NBC report also neglected to tell its readers that one of the people killed by Rittenhouse was a convicted child molester and the other had committed violence against family members and struggled with bipolar disorder.

The April jobs report shows much stronger than expected growth, and the stock market has reacted by surging positively.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said about 115,000 new jobs were added in April. The rate of unemployment held at 4.3%.

‘We are much stronger. … These are good numbers!’

Most of the gains were in the health care sector with 37,000 jobs, while both transportation and warehousing added 30,000 jobs.

The White House touted the comments from CNBC on-air editor Rick Santelli.

“The big jobs report for April — 65,000 expected! Nay, nay, nay! We are much stronger: 115,000!” he said. “And last month? Upward revision from 178,000 to 185,000! These are good numbers!”

Fifth Third Commercial Bank’s chief economist Bill Adams said that the job market was “inching out of low hire, low fire mode into moderate hire, low fire mode.”

“This is a very strong number, and I think it’s hard to argue against the notion right now that the labor market is on solid footing,” said Mark Reid of RBC Economics.

On the other hand, better jobs numbers will ease the pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates as one part of its mandate is to avoid inflation by overheating the economy.

One sector continuing to shed jobs was offices, which includes tech, telecom, data processing, and media. There were 13,000 office jobs lost in April, while another 12,000 were lost in financial activities.

The jobs report showed a 3.6% increase in average hourly earnings over the year, but that came in at less than the overall inflation rate of 4%, meaning overall the value of wages decreased slightly.

“This is the big Achilles’ heel in the U.S. economy,” replied Navy Federal economist Heather Long. “Yes, workers have jobs, but this is a squeeze.”

“Trust in Trump!” responded Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. “Today’s jobs report smashed expectations because he is putting American workers, manufacturing and industry FIRST. The Golden Age has just begun!”

A viral marketing campaign has consumers wondering what they are giving up in exchange for a debit card that sometimes foots the bill.

The new card comes from Tuyo, a company that promises to eliminate random charges from a user’s debit card in part or entirely.

‘Slot machines are more predictable.’

The online cryptocurrency wallet app is already unique in the fact that it acts as an instant converter of cryptocurrency into fiat, meaning its customers can use it as a payment method online or at the cash register, where the account automatically converts crypto holdings into the appropriate currency.

At the same time, the company is pushing out a new feature that rewards users by paying for their purchases — but it’s all random.

“We created a card that sometimes doesn’t charge you,” Tuyo wrote in its viral X post. “Buy Now, Pay Maybe.”

The company described the feature as a discretionary discount applied at its sole discretion, which can result in customers getting a reduced amount “as low as $0.00” for any transaction.

Nothing is required by the user to participate, other than to make purchases, of course.

RELATED: A YouTube stunt proved this Apple Pay exploit can drain your bank account in seconds. Here’s the fix.

Aaron M. Sprecher/Bloomberg/Getty Images

The company’s terms of service explain that the feature can be revoked from users at any time and that users should not begin spending flagrantly in hopes that their purchases would be covered.

The latter is exactly the issue some readers have taken with the feature, particularly financial corporate attorney Ariel Givner. In a post read over 1 million times, Givner described the card as “worse” than gambling.

“Slot machines are more predictable,” she wrote. “This one’s going to result in a whole lot of overdraft fees for Tuyo because inevitably people will get addicted and spend more than they should ‘because this one might be free!'”

She added, “We already have a society addicted to gambling. This will only exacerbate the issue.”

There are arguments to be made that the card operates much like modern online video games, too. In the same way that many new games release paid content in incremental windows referred to as “seasons,” Tuyo also uses seasons to push reward multipliers.

The multipliers are boosted amounts for the reward points program, with the intention that TUYO points could turn into a cryptocoin at some point.

Tuyo promises no monthly or yearly fees, with a $10,000 per day spending limit.

After several of his colleagues in the Indiana state Senate were wiped out in the Republican primary this week, one senator says he has no regrets about his redistricting vote.

Shortly after state Sen. Ron Alting (R-Lafayette) was declared the winner of his primary for District 22 on Tuesday, Alting discussed his vote back in December in favor of a new congressional district map for Indiana, claiming that he hopes some of his constituents will “forgive” him for it.

‘I do not regret my vote in favor of redistricting and would vote the same way again if asked to do so.’

“I feel terrible that I let some people down on my vote on redistricting. I hope that I’ll be able to make that up to them. But it’s an honor, an incredible honor, to represent my hometown and Carroll County,” he said, according to Star City News.

On account of these comments, some on social media accused Alting of “flip-flopping” on redistricting and of stabbing President Donald Trump in the back. On April 7, Trump gave Alting his “Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election,” assuring MAGA voters that Alting “WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”

RELATED: ‘RINO’ Indiana Senate incumbents lose BIGLY to Trump-endorsed challengers

On Friday, Sen. Alting confirmed to Blaze News that his comments on redistricting had “been taken out of context” and that he still believes voting for redistricting was the right call.

“I know many people were disappointed with my vote in favor of redistricting in December, and I apologized to them for letting them down. I hope they will forgive me for voting in a way that I believe would be beneficial for the entire state,” Alting said in a statement.

“However, I do not regret my vote in favor of redistricting and would vote the same way again if asked to do so.”

Alting then reiterated that he remains in Trump’s corner: “I’d like to thank President Trump for his efforts to keep America strong. I’m extremely proud of his endorsement and have spent a great deal of time promoting his support. Under no circumstances will I distance myself from him.”

Trump had previously warned Indiana Senate Republicans that if they did not vote in favor of the new congressional map, he would work to defeat them in the 2026 Republican primary.

He was as good as his word. At least five of the eight “RINOs” who voted against redistricting lost their primary re-election bids, most by significant margins.

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, the 57-year-old multimillionaire owner of Isthmian League football club Maldon and Tiptree, has long been an advocate for homosexuals acquiring children, specifically through surrogacy.

In 1999, Drewitt-Barlow and Tony Barlow became Britain’s first homosexual couple registered as “parents” through surrogacy, having purchased twins for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Altogether, the couple ended up buying five children from four surrogate mothers in the United States before Drewitt-Barlow left his “husband” for the young ex-boyfriend of one of the girls in his care.

‘They have groomed them,’ a UK prosecutor claims.

With his new squeeze, Scott Drewitt-Barlow — and his ex temporarily living with them in a Florida mansion — the homosexual activist quickly obtained another child through in vitro fertilization, and then another two.

While Barrie Drewitt-Barlow has drawn ample criticism over his manner of acquiring babies, he is now in hot water for his alleged dealings with an older demographic.

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow — who claimed on British television last year that he paid a super model over $68,000 for her eggs to reduce the risk of having an “ugly” child — and his 32-year-old “husband,” Scott, were arrested in Essex, U.K., on Wednesday and slapped with numerous sexual assault and sexual exploitation charges.

The United Kingdom’s Crown Prosecution Service announced on Friday that the elder gay man has been charged with three counts of sexual assault on a male; four counts of rape of a male 16 or older; and two counts of arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation.

Scott Drewitt-Barlow has been charged with one count of sexual assault on a male; one count of rape of a male 16 or older; and two counts of arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation.

Christian Meikle of the CPS stated, “The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to charge Barrie Drewitt-Barlow and Scott Drewitt-Barlow following a police investigation into alleged human trafficking for sexual exploitation and rape.”

Prosecutor Serena Berry said, “It is alleged they have both targeted young males, they have recruited them, they have befriended them, they have groomed them,” reported the BBC.

Oliver Snodin, the couple’s defense lawyer, said that his clients “strenuously denied” the allegations.

Police raided the couple’s home in Essex as well as Barrie Drewitt-Barlow’s pub in Braintree.

UnitedHealthcare worker Alison King took to TikTok to express her disappointment following the most recent attempt on President Trump’s life — not because the violence has gotten out of control, but because the alleged assassin missed.

“You know we’re cooked as a country when my first reaction to hearing the news about Trump’s attempt was, ‘It was probably fake.’ Like immediately I was like, ‘Oh, that wasn’t real. Probably fake.’ And the second was, ‘Aw, they missed?’” King said in the now-viral TikTok.

“It’s just so odd to me. I guess because I don’t have the zombie lib brain. I just couldn’t imagine a world in which I would ever want someone to die and then on top of that … posting a video of me publicly bragging that I want someone else to die, is just so foreign to me,” Gonzales comments.

King was swiftly punished for her comments, which resulted in her firing.

In a statement, a spokesperson for UnitedHealthcare responded to King’s comments, saying, “The person who made comments online about Saturday night’s incident at a Washington event where President Trump and many other political leaders were gathered is no longer employed by the company.”

“United Healthcare … this woman’s old boss was assassinated … shot in cold blood, and she still isn’t like, ‘Ah, maybe I shouldn’t be talking about people getting assassinated. Maybe I shouldn’t be cheering that on,’” Gonzales comments.

King posted another video in response to her firing, saying, “I am already reaping the consequences of what I said. I lost my job in an economy that’s already incredibly difficult, and I want to move forward.”

“Do I regret what I said?” she asked. “Absolutely. I shouldn’t have posted it on the internet. OK? It was a joke. I do not condone violence, and I would never hurt anybody, OK. That being said, I just got a letter in the mail. They have an address on it, so I’m going to have to report it to the authorities.”

“It’s a picture of my house, and it says, ‘Alison, how does it feel? You’ve been doxxed in karma. Cause and effect is coming.’ With a smiley face. All I have to say is that we’re living in an incredibly scary time. Please be careful what you post on the internet. People are insane,” she continued.

“Somehow, I am being held more accountable for something stupid I said on the internet than people who send stuff like this and the president of the United States who has been spewing violent rhetoric his entire presidential career,” she added.

“Now we’re back to ‘it’s Donald Trump’s fault’ … you don’t see your own fault in that?” Gonzales asks.

“I’m sorry, Alison,” she adds, “in the real world, there are consequences.”
