A former Tennessee police officer allegedly admitted to having an affair with another officer and filming their sexual activities before leaving the force.

Lisa Vidrios is a former U.S. Marine and worked at the San Diego Police Dept. before transferring to the Metro Nashville Police Department in 2022.

She also admitted that children were present in the building during the four incidents.

An investigative report said Vidrios had a sexual relationship with an unnamed 18-year veteran of the police force. The report, which was obtained by WKRN-TV, cited several videos found on Vidrios’ phone, as well as text chains and images.

At least one of those videos showed her engaging in the sexual activities in her office at Madison Middle School while school officials talked outside her door. She also admitted that children were present in the building during the four incidents.

She also had sex with the officer in his police car when it was parked at an abandoned hospital, and at various other locations.

The 37-year-old was married with children at the time and said in a department video that her husband was also a member of the Metro Police Department.

“We have three children together — ages 6, 4, and 1 years old — and we love spending time as a family and doing everything we can throughout the city of Nashville,” she said.

There is no indication of the marital status of the other officer, and his identity was not released. The report indicated that he could not be interviewed because he filed for an injury on duty pension.

Vidrios agreed to a settlement where she was found in violation of conduct unbecoming a department employee and underwent a 30-day suspension. She resigned from the force after the suspension.

A spokesperson for the mayor’s office released a brief statement about the report.

“The mayor is consistent: Our first responders are held to the highest standard. When they don’t meet that, it’s not acceptable,” the statement reads.

A district spokesperson deferred to the police department and said no students or staff were aware of the situation.

After the United States’ 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, Americans have an opportunity to look beyond the celebration and toward the coalition that will carry the American experiment through its next 250 years.

One of the most significant political developments of the past decade has been the steady movement of Hispanic voters toward conservative principles. Across the country, Hispanic Americans are rejecting the assumption that they belong permanently to one political party. Instead, many are embracing values centered on faith, family, entrepreneurship, and individual liberty.

The recent realignment among Hispanic voters can become more than a temporary political trend.

For conservatives, however, demographic movement alone is not enough. If the conservative movement hopes to build a lasting coalition, it must stop treating Hispanic voters as a constituency that receives attention only during election season.

For too long, political outreach to Hispanics has consisted of translated advertisements, a few campaign appearances, and promises made in the final weeks before Election Day.

A durable partnership requires year-round engagement. Conservatives need to invest in permanent community organizations, local leadership development, and sustained economic messaging focused on issues that directly affect working families.

Lowering the cost of living, reducing unnecessary regulations, encouraging entrepreneurship, and expanding economic opportunity all resonate deeply in Hispanic communities, where small-business ownership and upward mobility remain central aspirations.

The alignment between Hispanic voters and conservative principles is not merely political. It is cultural.

Faith is a cornerstone of life for many Hispanic families. Religious belief, community involvement, and commitment to strong family structures continue to shape daily life and personal values. These traditions align naturally with a worldview that emphasizes personal responsibility, civic engagement, and the institutions that strengthen communities.

The entrepreneurial spirit is equally powerful.

Hispanic Americans start businesses at remarkable rates, creating jobs, building wealth, and contributing to local economies. Policies that reward hard work, protect private enterprise, and expand economic freedom speak directly to those experiences.

For many families, support for constitutional government and individual liberty is rooted in personal history.

Countless Hispanic Americans arrived in the United States after witnessing economic collapse, political instability, or authoritarian rule in parts of Latin America, particularly in countries that embraced socialist or communist systems.

Their experiences offer a powerful reminder that America’s founding principles are not abstract ideals. They are safeguards against the failures that have plagued other nations.

America’s 250th anniversary presents an opportunity to tell a fuller story about the nation’s past and future.

The American story has always been one of people from different backgrounds uniting around a common set of ideals. Hispanic Americans are not newcomers to that story. They are helping write its next chapter.

Many legal immigrants and first-generation Americans possess a profound appreciation for the opportunities available in the United States. They understand the extraordinary freedoms this country provides because their gratitude is rooted in lived experience.

That perspective is especially valuable at a time when political discourse often emphasizes division and identity politics over unity and patriotism.

America does not need competing tribal factions organized around race, ethnicity, sex, or other demographic categories. It needs a coalition of citizens committed to preserving the principles that have sustained the republic for two and a half centuries and passing them on to future generations.

The conservative movement has an opportunity to help build that coalition.

But it must recognize that the recent realignment among Hispanic voters can become more than a temporary political trend. It can become a permanent feature of American politics if conservatives acknowledge and cultivate the deeper convergence of values already taking shape.

We should look beyond the next election cycle and toward the next century.

If the United States is to remain a beacon of freedom for another 250 years, it will need a coalition united not by blood or ethnicity but by a shared commitment to faith, family, capitalism, and the founding ideals of the republic.

Hispanic conservatives may prove central to that American renewal.

While people get arrested every day in Europe for “offensive speech,” America’s First Amendment remains a safeguard against criminalizing the vast majority of speech — certainly the kind that could be deemed offensive by certain groups.

Except in Fort Worth, Texas, apparently. A cop by the name of Sarah Stogner went viral last month after videos captured her telling Christian street preachers that they could be cited for “offensive speech” if their preaching offended attendees at a local Pride parade.

On a recent episode of “Come and Take It,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales reviewed the shocking footage and made a case that First Amendment violations should be fireable offenses.

Sara begins by playing the viral video of the interaction between Stogner and the evangelists.

“If someone is offended by your talking, then we have a problem,” Stogner stated, threatening to write a ticket if they didn’t comply.

“Wait, you’re going to ticket us for offensive speech?” one shocked preacher pushed back.

“Yes, absolutely. … It’s called disorderly conduct,” Stogner responded.

“No, disorderly conduct has to be accompanied by conduct,” another preacher retorted, before explaining that he was a retired federal law enforcement officer.

Sara is flabbergasted by the interaction.

“Try reading the First Amendment. … If there are any to be clear on, that is the one that you, as a cop, should be super clear on,” she comments. “And by the way, this is the epitome of why it was written actually: to keep tyrannical dictators from forcing us to keep our mouths shut about topics they didn’t want us discussing.”

Unfortunately, the situation got worse for the street preachers, who approached another cop at the festival to inform him of Stogner’s unconstitutional threat.

But he doubled down. “It depends on what you’re saying and who’s offended,” he clapped back.

“If you make fun of somebody, if you call them certain words and they feel offended by that, unfortunately that is —” he continued before one preacher cut him off by presenting a hypothetical.

“So, if I say, ‘You’re a faggot,’ and they get offended, you’re gonna cite me?” he asked, emphasizing that he would make “no threats.”

“That is a Class C ticket, unfortunately,” the cop replied.

“It depends on what you’re saying and who’s offended? I must have missed that in the Bill of Rights. Is there a footnote that I’m unaware of?” Sara asks, shocked.

The interaction then took an even wilder turn when the preachers asked the male cop about misgendering someone.

“If a biological male comes up to me who says he’s a woman, and I say, ‘Sir,’ and he gets offended, is that a citable offense?” one preacher asked.

“We’re talking gray area right now,” the cop replied.

“If they come up and say, ‘Hey, I’m offended by that,’ and you continue to do that, well, then that’s just becoming offensive to them,” he continued, suggesting that he’d give a “warning” and then move to “potential” consequences if the offensive language didn’t stop.

“So, what if I’m offended by what they say? … Will they get cited? I’m offended by all of this. I’m offended by seeing half naked men run around with children. I am deeply offended by that,” the preacher retorted.

“Unfortunately, there’s not much on our side to do anything,” the cop stated.

“It’s actually not a gray area at all. This isn’t hard. It’s not brain surgery. You are allowed to speak freely even if someone is offended. This isn’t Europe,” Sara says.

She highlights the glaring bias when it comes to “offensive speech.”

“You guys want to protect the debauchery, but any time a Christian is offended by the debauchery, you can’t do anything about that,” she declares.

Sara expresses disappointment in Fort Worth PD’s response to the Trinity Pride Fest incident.

While the department acknowledged that Sgt. Sarah Stogner (and officers) made inaccurate statements about citing people for “offensive speech,” they seemed to place more emphasis on clarifying that the citation was for a bullhorn noise ordinance violation rather than speech content. They also announced they would provide First Amendment refresher training to officers.

Sara scoffs at the idea of a “refresher” course on something as basic as the First Amendment. “It should just be a fireable offense to be that ignorant of the law,” she states.

It appears Assistant Attorney General for the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon may agree that stronger action is warranted.

On July 10, she posted:

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the production of gold coins bearing the image of President Donald Trump for the nation’s 250th anniversary.

The new coin shows the president’s image with the words “In God we trust” and “1776-2026” for the semiquincentennial celebration.

‘It’s cute, not a bad picture, but it’s very cute that he gave me a coin. … It was very unusual, but I was honored by it.’

“As America commemorates 250 years of independence, the @usmint will begin striking this new $1 gold coin to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism,” Bessent posted on his social media account.

“Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all,” he added.

While the president’s supporters were thrilled, his critics were outraged and registered their histrionics on social media.

“North Korea called and said you’re embarrassing yourselves,” left-wing activist Joanne Carducci replied.

“Ridiculous and un-American. The American people deserve a president who cares more about putting money in people’s pockets than he does about putting his face on people’s money,” Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) said.

“Congratulations, we’ve entered the end stages. Eliminate the penny, plug the nickel, and make some commemorative gold coins nobody can afford,” GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky responded. “I feel sorry for the folks who will be sold worthless knockoffs of this by the usual grifters.”

“This is a violation of Federal Law, you creepy bootlicking sycophant. The dishonorable, egomaniacal, orange demagogue is still living. … Another American national disgrace from a Trump Epstein Administration that makes a daily occurrence of national disgraces,” boxing promoter Lou DiBella replied.

“Are you really being serious here????” former tennis star Martina Navratilova responded.

“You realize you’re going to be nothing more than a s**t stain of history in two and a half years time,” another detractor said.

The president called the coin “cute” when asked about it on Fox Business.

“It’s cute, not a bad picture, but it’s very cute that he gave me a coin,” he said, in reference to Bessent. “That’s very unusual from what I understand. … Yeah, a gold coin and a silver coin. It was very unusual, but I was honored by it.”

The coin will not contain any actual gold. It will be minted in Philadelphia and is expected to be available in the fall.

Netflix quickly found itself in a deep hole on Wednesday as reactions to one of its movie descriptions quickly spiraled out of control.

A viral post from Tuesday afternoon picked up a lot of steam for its content, and in less than 24 hours it had been seen by millions of users on X.

‘The most amazing synopsis of all time.’

Going, going, ‘Gone’

The post in question is about the 1939 classic film “Gone with the Wind,” which takes place at the end of slavery in the United States in the 1860s.

“The Netflix description of Gone With The Wind is the most amazing synopsis of all time,” the X post states.

On its website, Netflix lists the movie as “Romantic, Epic,” and “Critically Acclaimed,” but it also sends a different message to viewers about its content.

“A 1939 American Civil War epic known for its racism,” the description says, despite being rated “G” for general audiences, meaning all ages.

Then, Netflix directs viewers to look into Black Lives Matter for more information.

“To learn more about Black lives in America, search ‘Black Lives Matter,'” it reads.

Blaze News can confirm Netflix’s website still featured the description at the time of this writing.

Rotten tomatoes

Reactions were swift, reaching millions of viewers across the globe.

“Needs to change,” X owner Elon Musk said early on Wednesday. That post was seen by more than 1.5 million users.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) reacted to the description more than once, saying both times, “This is RIDICULOUS.”

At the same time, “Gone with the Wind” is treated far more gently on IMDB, where it sports an 8.2/10 rating. There, the movie is described as a “turbulent romance” that takes place “during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods.”

There is no direct claim that it is a racist movie, however.

Disclaimers written through the eyes of progressives for modern audiences is not new for streaming platforms; Disney+ was raked over the coals several times in recent years for how it was treating its classic content.

This included beloved cartoons like “Pinocchio,” “Dumbo,” “Fantasia,” “Lady and the Tramp,” “The Aristocats,” and “The Jungle Book,” which received the following warning: “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.”

Perpetual do-gooders

Not even the Muppets were safe from the perpetual do-gooders at Disney either. In 2021, the company went into a diatribe in the description for “The Muppet Show” that featured claims like, “This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures.”

It continued, “These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now.”

Disney also acknowledged its “harmful impact” but urged audiences to “learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.”

Even classic PlayStation game “Tomb Raider” got similar treatment in 2024, when a re-release warned about “offensive depictions of people and cultures rooted in racial and ethnic prejudices.”

Netflix did not respond to a request for comment.

Lindsey Graham’s death marks the end of one of the most consequential — and controversial — careers in modern Republican politics.

And while many conservatives loved to hate him while he was alive, BlazeTV host John Doyle believes that few knew how much the longtime South Carolina senator actually accomplished for their movement.

“You may remember September 27, 2018. If you were online that day, you already remember exactly where you were. Brett Kavanaugh is being potentially confirmed to be a Supreme Court justice, and it’s not looking good,” Doyle begins.

“He’s dying on live television. There are accusations from that woman … doing the crocodile tears, and we all had to just pretend that OK, yes, believe all women. So true. Republicans on the committee are looking like hostages,” he recalls.

“And then the man the Tea Party spent, like, a decade trying to primary just leans into his microphone and has a little bit of a patriot go-off moment. He says, ‘This is the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics,’” he continues, referencing Lindsey Graham.

“Conservative media started cutting, you know, Lindsey Graham 2.0 highlight reels. Literally, in my first-ever video in October 2018, I covered this story, and I called this man based,” he adds.

Kavanaugh then got confirmed, despite the slogan “Believe all women” being repeated by feminists all over the country.

“In a room on camera with a Supreme Court seat on the line, the senator willing to torch 20 years of his kind of, like, bipartisan reputation — that was Lindsey Graham,” Doyle says.

“Everyone on that committee had the same microphone, and one guy chose to use it, and that was Lindsey Graham,” he adds.

Not only that, but for the last two years, Graham chaired the Senate Budget Committee.

“Graham was the gatekeeper. He shepherded the big, beautiful bill through unanimous Democrat opposition and some genuinely ugly, you know, GOP infighting. Then came this year’s reconciliation package, funding immigration enforcement, literally the largest increase in funding ever for the rest of Trump’s term. And sitting on his desk the day he died,” Doyle explains.

“All of that was moving. All of that was in progress, and it was because of this guy’s effort,” he says. “Who’s going to chair that committee now? Who’s going to fill that vacuum? Is it going to be somebody who’s actually more effective? Is it going to be somebody who’s more loyal to Trump and his agenda and his party?”

While Doyle admits there are many things he did not agree with Graham on, he does believe the senator was effective and ultimately stood for America.

And those laughing about his passing don’t realize why they’re actually laughing.

“You know, it’s easy to piss on a guy’s grave. It’s harder to be so effective that you can inspire people to want to piss on your grave,” Doyle says. “That’s my point.”

A Marine veteran running for Florida’s 5th Congressional District is being condemned for his threatening comments against President Donald Trump.

William Upham released a video statement calling the president the Antichrist and saying that he “must be killed.”

‘William Upham is no longer a Marine and does not represent our values or ethos.’

Upham is running as a write-in candidate, surprisingly as a Republican. The seat is currently held by Rep. John Rutherford, also a Republican.

The Marine Corps issued a statement indicating that he had been discharged for medical reasons in May 2025.

“The comments made by Upham are a direct violation of the oath he swore to uphold and are not in keeping with the service’s values,” the Marine Corps added in the post on social media.

Upham served from June 2021 until September 2025 and achieved the rank of first lieutenant, according to reporting from Task & Purpose. The outlet also noted that threatening the president is a crime punishable by up to five years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.

“I’ve come to the realization that our country is broken. We are led by a president who’s the enemy of God, and President Trump will never bring us together like God intended,” Upham says in the video.

“There is no doubt in my mind that the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, is the Antichrist. He is a false messiah, and he is your enemy, and he must be killed,” he adds.

Acting U.S. Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao called the comments “unacceptable” in a post on social media.

“William Upham is no longer a Marine and does not represent our values or ethos,” he added.

Blaze News reached out to the Florida GOP for comment.
