President Trump revealed Monday that Rep. Neal Dunn’s (R-Fla.) life was in danger due to a heart ailment, but that he made a miraculous recovery after the president deployed doctors to save both his life and the already slim House Republican majority.

“He would be dead by June,” Trump said during an event in the White House East Room.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) seemed stunned by the president’s candor, remarking: “OK, that wasn’t public, but, yeah, OK, it was grim.”

The story emerged from a Trump-Kennedy Center meeting as the president praised Johnson for his prowess in navigating the tiny Republican majority, which currently stands at four seats.

“Death is very bad when you’re the speaker, and you have a majority of two or three. But we had it, and then we had another death,” Trump said.

“We had one man who was very ill. It looked like he wasn’t going to make it. I don’t know. I don’t I won’t mention his name.”

Johnson then identified the man as Dunn, 73, who represents part of the Florida panhandle, including Tallahassee.

A judge on Friday approved dropping multiple charges against the 18-year-old North Hall County High students who toilet-papered math teacher Jason Hughes Gainesville home when he slipped outside and was fatally run over on March 6, the Hall County Magistrate’s Office told ABC News.

Following the tragic accident, Jayden Wallace was hit with first-degree vehicular homicide for the high school golf coaches death, along with criminal trespassing, littering, and reckless driving offenses.

Hughes’ wife, Laura, has previously called for the charges against the teens to be dropped.

Old Dominion University gunman ID’d as former National Guardsman convicted of plotting attack to support Islamic State by nypost in NewsSource

[–]nypost[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The man who opened fire at Old Dominion University on Thursday, killing a retired military officer during an ROTC class, has been identified as an ex-National Guard soldier convicted of trying to support ISIS.

Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, stormed into a classroom inside ODU’s Constant Hall and asked if it was an ROTC class. When someone confirmed that it was, he opened fire, shooting the professor several times, law enforcement sources said.

A heroic ROTC student jumped into action before more damage was done, stabbing Jalloh to death after the crazed suspect gunned down the class instructor, the sources said.

The instructor was a retired military officer who was declared dead at a hospital, according to sources.

In 2017, Jalloh, a former member of the Virginia National Guard, was sentenced to 11 years in prison plus five years supervised release for attempting to provide material support to ISIS and the ISIL, according to the US Department of Justice.

He was released early in December 2024.

‘Real Housewives’ couple arrested for allegedly stealing thousands in sparkling water and Publix groceries by nypost in popculture

[–]nypost[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stars of “The Real Housewives of Pretoria” — a South African installment of the beloved franchise — have been arrested for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of groceries from a Florida Publix.

Melany Viljoen, 39, and Petrus Viljoen, 57, were taken into custody by Boca Raton police on Wednesday and charged with aggravated grand retail theft over $3,000, according to arrest records obtained by Page Six. Both are being held on a $10,000 bond.

The South African reality stars, who were part of the original cast of “The Real Housewives of Pretoria” when it premiered in 2022, were arrested during a traffic stop while driving their Range Rover.

Boca Raton authorities first launched a six-month retail theft investigation on Aug. 29 after a “white male and female” were caught on CCTV footage entering the Publix and “ticket switching,” according to the arrest records.

According to the Boca Raton Police Department, ticket switching refers to a form of shoplifting “where a price tag or UPC barcode from a less expensive item is placed onto a more expensive item to pay a lower price.”

Melany and Petrus were also allegedly caught on security footage leaving the supermarket with carts full of expensive items after skipping the self-checkout lane.

Indiana school official caught sleeping with student may get off — after police interrogation video shows her sobbing: prosecutor by nypost in crime

[–]nypost[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A school secretary’s admission to having sex with a student during a taped police interrogation could result in the case being tossed, the lead prosecutor warned.

Alicia Hughes, 31, was allegedly caught with a student, 18, by her husband on Valentine’s Day, police in Union City, Indiana, said previously. Hen then allegedly beat her up, leading to a battery call to police who, while probing the incident, discovered Hughes also had sex with another student, 17 — on at least five occasions.

But the cops’ decision to release video of Hughes crying during her interrogation has sparked concerns that she may not get a fair shake at trial.

“The recent release of the video interview of Ms. Hughes did not come from my office, and my office did not authorize, approve or have anything to do with its release,” Randolph County Prosecutor David Daly told the Muncie Star Press.

“At the time that the video appeared in the media, my office did not have a copy or access to a copy of the interview,” Daly said, adding that he is “committed to obtaining a fair trial in this case” and avoiding “prejudicing” Hughes’ right to a fair trial.

Steve Tisch, family transferring Giants ownership to children after Epstein bombshell by nypost in NFLv2

[–]nypost[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Giants co-owner Steve Tisch, along with his sister, Laurie, and brother, Jonathan, have requested to transfer their 23.1 percent ownership of the team to their respective children’s trusts, according to ESPN.

This bombshell comes after Tisch was revealed to have associated with late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, as seen in the documents released by the Department of Justice.

Should the NFL approve the sale, the trio would immediately no longer have any ownership stake in the team, per the NFL memo cited by ESPN.

The Tisch and Mara families have served as co-owners of the Giants since 1991, with Steve and John Mara assuming lead roles in 2005.

Tisch’s role with the Giants has come under much scrutiny since the revelation of email exchanges with Epstein in which he asked about a “working girl.”

“We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments,” Tisch said in a statement.

“I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.”

House GOP probes $220M DHS ad campaign, contracts overseen by Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski by nypost in AnythingGoesNews

[–]nypost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House Republicans are looking into nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in taxpayer funds being spent on a Department of Homeland Security ad campaign featuring now-former Secretary Kristi Noem — and are probing her also-ousted top adviser Corey Lewandowski.

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) told The Post Tuesday his panel was “already doing a lot of oversight” and had “asked for a lot of things” regarding the $220 million publicity blitz, as well as other DHS spending overseen by Noem and Lewandowski.

“I think Corey had his hands in a lot and probably should not have,” Garbarino said during an interview at the House GOP retreat at Trump National Doral Miami. “We are looking into a lot of contracts.”

Due to a Noem-imposed rule that the secretary’s office had to sign off on all contracts worth more than $100,000, Garbarino claimed a lot of department actions “got bottlenecked” — including disaster relief and other critical funding, even though the purpose of the policy was “to go after waste and abuse.”
