<p>On Tuesday, Rapper Killer Mike, campaigning for Bernie Sanders in Atlanta, Georgia, <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/02/17/see-the-sexist-comment-that-has-landed-sanders-supporter-rapper-killer-mike-in-hot-water/">got himself in hot water</a> with cold-hearted feminists when he pointed out that simply being a woman did not qualify a candidate for the presidency. Killer Mike quoted a teacher named Jane Elliot. &#8220;Jane said, &#8216;Michael, a uterus doesn&#8217;t qualify you to be president of the United States. You have to have policy that&#8217;s reflective of social justice,&#8217;&#8221; he offered.</p>
<p>Uh-oh.  Andrew Woodhouse, the head of pro-Clinton super PAC Correct the Record, <a href="https://twitter.com/woodhouseb/status/699789678233321472">tweeted his thoughts</a>, telling the rapper that his comments were &#8220;sexist bull****.&#8221;</p>

Hillary’s Campaign Targets Bernie’s Black Supporters As ‘Sexist’

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Talk about a &#8220;power play&#8221; gone horribly wrong: Veteran Philadelphia Flyers announcer Tim Saunders just learned the hard way that in radio, the mic is always mightier than the sword, and usually much more &#8220;turned on&#8221; than you think.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">During a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Saunders thought he had successfully sent the broadcast to a commercial break. Feeling a bit too relaxed in the booth, he decided to drop a line that was definitely not in the media guide. After a few moments of silence, thinking he was safely in commercial break, Saunders <a href="https://twitter.com/travieballin26/status/2002031198109856073">piped up</a> with: &#8220;While you’re down there, would you mind blowing me?&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="2">It might be when you&#8217;re used to describing guys &#8220;going hard to the net,&#8221; the terminology just spills over.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="3">His partner, Todd Fedoruk, attempted a veteran defensive save, quickly whispering, &#8220;I think we’re still on the air, Tim.&#8221; Saunders, apparently thinking he was being &#8220;poked&#8221; by a prankster, let out a laugh before realizing he had just delivered the most memorable play-by-play of his 40-year career to every car radio in the Delaware Valley.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Flyers organization, realizing this wasn&#8217;t exactly the &#8220;family-friendly friction&#8221; they promote, handed Saunders a two-game suspension. They released a <a href="https://www.phillyvoice.com/flyers-tim-saunders-suspended-hot-mic-comment">statement</a> saying, “We are aware of the inappropriate comment made during last night&#8217;s radio broadcast in the TV timeout of the Flyers-Sabres game. These remarks do not reflect the standards of conduct or values we expect from anyone associated with our organization &#8230; We take this matter very seriously and sincerely apologize to our listeners, fans and those affected by these comments.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Saunders issued a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nhl-announcer-suspended-after-hot-mic-catches-inappropriate-comment">heartfelt apology</a> on Friday, admitting, “During last night’s game in Buffalo, I made an error in judgement with my comments that were made when I thought we were in a commercial break. I recognize how offensive my remarks were, and the harm it has caused. I take full responsibility and sincerely apologize to the Flyers, 97.5 The Fanatic and all those affected by my remarks. To all Flyers fans and listeners of our broadcast, I promise that I will hold myself to a higher standard moving forward to ensure our broadcast is a safe and respectful place everyone can enjoy.&#8221;</p>

MUST LISTEN: Flyers Announcer’s Hot Mic Lands Him in the Penalty Box

<p data-start="114" data-end="553">Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) are <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/12/17/us-news/elise-stefanik-demands-answers-from-kathy-hochul-about-qatar-funded-curriculum-in-nyc/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_social_handle_id=17469289&amp;utm_social_post_id=626155842&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=nypost">pressing</a> New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to explain why New York City public schools are using curriculum and instructional materials funded by Qatar and what they describe as “malign domestic actors.” The GOP lawmakers argue that the New York City Department of Education has refused to release materials related to the September 11 attacks and the October 7 Hamas massacre, leaving Hochul as the only authority able to compel transparency.</p>
<p data-start="555" data-end="1248">“The [NYC] DOE has refused to provide copies of teaching materials that twist the narratives of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks and the Hamas-led massacre on October 7, 2023, in Israel,” Stefanik and Comer wrote in a letter obtained by the New York Post.</p>
<p data-start="555" data-end="1248">The lawmakers zeroed in on $1 million from Qatar Foundation International flowing to P.S. 261 in Cobble Hill and P.S./I.S. 30 in Bay Ridge, as well as on materials from Bridging Cultures, run by Dr. Debbie Almontaser, who is also the head of the Muslim Community Network (MCN). Stefanik and Comer allege MCN has a history of downplaying Islamist violence, opposing funding for the National 9/11 Memorial &amp; Museum, and vilifying anyone highlighting radical Islam’s role in the attacks. Bridging Cultures has conducted workshops on the Hamas attacks, which the lawmakers say “erases Israeli suffering.” Combined, MCN and Bridging Cultures have collected at least $14.7 million from New York City since 2014.</p>
<p data-start="555" data-end="1248">“The NYC DOE partnered with Bridging Cultures to train teachers on how to speak to students about 10/7, the war in Gaza, and the anti-Israel protest movement,” Stefanik and Comer said.</p>

<p data-start="1250" data-end="1502">Stefanik and Comer demanded that Hochul provide contracts, copies of the curriculum, and explanations for these partnerships. Hochul’s office dismissed the letter, saying Stefanik “misunderstand[s] how New York’s education system and mayoral control operate.”</p>
<p data-start="1504" data-end="2055">The row escalates Stefanik’s attack line against Hochul ahead of the 2026 gubernatorial race. She has also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stefanik-slams-hochuls-cowardly-silence-after-mamdanis-endorsement-of-9-11-apologist">slammed</a> Hochul for supporting incoming NYC Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who endorsed Palestinian activist Aber Kawas for the State Assembly.</p>
<p data-start="1504" data-end="2055">“Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani and now owns his latest public endorsement of radical activist Aber Kawas for New York State Assembly, a proud terrorist sympathizer and denigrator of the United States,” Stefanik said in a statement. “Kawas notoriously blamed America for 9/11 that claimed the lives of thousands of New Yorkers, citing the United States&#8217; ‘system of capitalism,’ ‘racism,’ ‘white supremacy,’ and ‘Islamophobia’ as justification for the terrorist attacks that killed New Yorkers. It is clear that Mamdani owns and controls the Worst Governor in America, Kathy Hochul, as she cowardly remains silent on the anti-American and antisemitic filth spewed by the incoming Mayor and his endorsed candidates. Kathy Hochul must condemn Mamdani’s endorsement of Kawas immediately.”</p>

<p>President Donald Trump revealed plans this week for a new nationwide athletic competition dubbed the “Patriot Games,” a four-day event set for next year that will feature elite high school athletes from every state and U.S. territory. The announcement came alongside the launch of<span class="apple-converted-space"> &#8220;</span>Freedom,&#8221; an organization tasked with coordinating celebrations marking the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-start="391" data-end="793">According to Trump, the Patriot Games will bring together two standout athletes from each state — one male and one female — to compete in a slate of sporting events designed to showcase excellence, patriotism, and fair competition. The president framed the event as both historic and culturally significant, emphasizing that it would reflect his administration’s broader push to protect women’s sports.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-start="795" data-end="830">Trump said in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxdWW2CiB_8">video announcement</a>: “Frankly, you&#8217;ll never see anything like it, and you&#8217;ll never see anything like it again. In the fall, we will host the first-ever Patriot Games, an unprecedented four-day athletic event featuring the greatest high school athletes, one young man and one young woman from each state and territory. But I promise there will be no men playing in women&#8217;s sports. You&#8217;re not going to see that. You&#8217;ll see everything but that.”</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-start="1261" data-end="1556">The comments echo Trump’s long-standing opposition to allowing biological males to compete in female athletic divisions, an issue that has become a defining cultural flashpoint. His administration has repeatedly moved to restrict transgender-identifying men from competing in women’s sports.</p>

</div>
<div>
<p data-start="2044" data-end="2273">Trump said the festivities are meant to be both celebratory and unifying. “People are going to have a good time,” he said, noting that recent events honoring the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps anniversaries were just the beginning.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-start="2275" data-end="2514" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">With the Patriot Games, Trump is pitching a blend of athletic competition, national pride, and cultural clarity — positioning the event as a one-of-a-kind spectacle that aligns sports with what he describes as common-sense American values.</p>
<p data-start="2275" data-end="2514" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Trump’s announcement quickly drew loose comparisons to The Hunger Games, a dystopian novel set in a future America where the government forces young people from different districts into a televised fight to the death until only one survives.</p>

Trump Launches ‘Patriot Games’ To Showcase Top High School Athletes From Every State

<p>The Kennedy Center board voted unanimously Thursday to rename the Washington, D.C., performing arts venue The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center For The Performing Arts, The Daily Wire has learned.</p>
<p>Trump had teased the possibility of renaming the center, which he has made a focal point of his second administration. It is unclear how or when the renaming will become official. Earlier attempts have been made to rename the center. In July 2025, Missouri GOP Rep. Bob Onder introduced the &#8220;Make Entertainment Great Again&#8221; Act, which proposed renaming the entire complex the Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts. Later that month, the House Appropriations Committee approved an amendment to rename the center’s main Opera House after First Lady Melania Trump.</p>
<p>“The Kennedy Center Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to name the institution The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. The unanimous vote recognizes that the current Chairman saved the institution from financial ruin and physical destruction. The new Trump Kennedy Center reflects the unequivocal bipartisan support for America’s cultural center for generations to come,” Roma Daravi, Vice President of Public Relations, stated.</p>

<p>President Kennedy&#8217;s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, <a href="https://people.com/jack-schlossberg-slams-effort-rename-kennedy-center-theater-after-melania-trump-11778364">objected</a> to the name change, citing a 1983 <a href="https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title20/chapter3/subchapter5&amp;edition=prelim">federal statute</a> that prohibits additional memorials or plaques in the public areas of the Kennedy Center. The statue stated, &#8220;There is established in the Smithsonian Institution a bureau, which shall be directed by a board to be known as the Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (hereafter in this subchapter referred to as the &#8216;Board&#8217;), whose duty it shall be to maintain and administer the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and site thereof as the National Center for the Performing Arts, a living memorial to John Fitzgerald Kennedy &#8230; the Board shall assure that after December 2, 1983, no additional memorials or plaques in the nature of memorials shall be designated or installed in the public areas of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Plain reading of the statute makes clear — YOU CAN&#8217;T DO THAT,&#8221; Schlossberg, 32, wrote on Instagram. &#8220;Law prohibits renaming Kennedy Center.&#8221;</p>
<p>In early 2025, President Trump ousted the Board of Trustees and named himself Chairman of the Board and appointed Richard Grenell as interim executive director. Trump wrote, &#8220;NO MORE DRAG SHOWS, OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA.”</p>
<p>Grenell stated, &#8220;Corporations don&#8217;t want to fund an all-lesbian cast of <i>Othello</i>.&#8221;</p>

Kennedy Center To Be Renamed After President Donald Trump

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear program in June inflicted significant damage, creating critical bottlenecks across the country’s weapons-building supply chain that pushed Tehran’s nuclear ambitions into a period of uncertainty and disruption, according to post-strike assessments.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="418" data-end="944">Before the attacks, Iran was widely viewed as a nuclear threshold state, only months away from being able to assemble a nuclear weapon if its leadership chose to do so. It reportedly possessed sufficient enriched uranium — once further refined to weapons grade — to fuel as many as 22 nuclear weapons within five months, with enough material for roughly half that number available within weeks. Iranian scientists were reportedly accelerating work on weaponization, laying the groundwork for a final political decision by the supreme leader.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="946" data-end="1457">The June strikes, <a href="https://www.csis.org/analysis/csis-satellite-imagery-analysis-reveals-possible-signs-renewed-nuclear-activity-iran">carried out</a> by the United States and Israel, targeted multiple layers of Iran’s nuclear enterprise. Analysts describe the damage in system-level terms: not only to individual facilities, but to the interconnected steps required to enrich fuel, fabricate weapon cores, and assemble a bomb. The attacks destroyed or severely damaged machinery, processing facilities, and stockpiles essential for producing highly enriched uranium. Iran’s route to weapons-grade plutonium was eliminated entirely.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1459" data-end="1867">Equally consequential was the blow to Iran’s weaponization effort. Israeli strikes crippled facilities linked to bomb design and fuel-core production, struck administrative centers overseeing the program, and killed more than a dozen nuclear scientists. Even damage to a single element of this complex system, experts say, can dramatically slow progress; taken together, the losses represent a major setback.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1869" data-end="2156">Yet the long-term impact remains uncertain. Iran has refused inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the only body capable of verifying what assets survived or could be recovered from underground sites. Tehran may attempt to rebuild, reconstituting capabilities over time.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2158" data-end="2479">Complicating matters further, Iran formally declared in October that all obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action had expired, ending international oversight of its nuclear activities. Since the strikes, Iran’s program appears to have entered a new phase marked by secrecy, disarray, and internal anxiety.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2481" data-end="2895" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Satellite imagery shows little activity at the bombed sites — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan — where power systems were destroyed, and debris still blocks access. Still, concerns persist. Intelligence officials say Iran may retain a stockpile of 60% enriched uranium and could be seeking new underground enrichment sites, signaling that while the program has been battered, it has not necessarily been extinguished.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">According to <a href="https://www.fdd.org/iran-strike-assessment/">FDD</a>, regarding Iran’s centrifuge manufacturing, TABA/TESA Karaj and Esfahan tunnel sites have been destroyed, but the Natanz Pickaxe Mountain site is under construction. As for the testing and development of centrifuges, the Tehran Nuclear Research Center and the Kalaye Electric site have been destroyed. Vis-à-vis uranium production and mining, the Saghan 11 &amp; 2 sites are still operational, but for uranium conversion, production of UF6, the Esfahan Uranium conversion facility was destroyed. As for uranium enrichment, the Natanz Pilot Fuel Enrichment plant was destroyed, and the Fordow Fuel Enrichment plant was deeply buried, so any intact highly enriched uranium would need to be excavated. Russia is still supplying enriched uranium fuel. Iran’s capacity for weaponizing uranium and plutonium has been severely degraded.</p>

U.S. Strikes On Iran Created Severe Bottlenecks To The Regime’s Nuclear Weapons Pipeline

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Federal prosecutors in Massachusetts have charged two Haitian immigrants with orchestrating a nearly <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/two-massachusetts-men-charged-large-scale-snap-benefits-trafficking">$7 million food stamp fraud operation</a>, exposing yet another glaring failure in America’s welfare oversight and raising familiar questions about how large-scale schemes thrive inside government programs billed as humanitarian.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="328" data-end="801">According to federal authorities, Antonio Bonheur, a 74-year-old naturalized American citizen from Haiti, and Saul Alisme, a 21-year-old lawful permanent resident, ran two tiny bodegas in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood that bore little resemblance to legitimate grocery stores. Despite sparse shelves and minimal foot traffic, one store alone <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/massachusetts-men-charged-with-nearly-7-million-in-snap-fraud-77e0069b?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=AWEtsqciceMlLyf0nE3s5mowUyS2RtDmZmDbpkGYuqhBtGtmfm8HC20exzPh_GeabOQ%3D&amp;gaa_ts=6944296b&amp;gaa_sig=zSLtm_FWw2L1DUt3_EzFzTrWX71kXivE7XiUEELXGJMkZVLJJy0awhwn3mQIjH-B4Evp4Otr0k0r4d0L0JIYKw%3D%3D">redeemed up to $500,000</a> in SNAP benefits in a single month — levels consistent with major supermarkets, not neighborhood corner shops.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="803" data-end="1133">Undercover investigators say the stores openly exchanged SNAP benefits for cash, skimmed profits through secondary bank accounts, and even sold liquor and overseas charity food packages meant for starving children abroad — all paid for with taxpayer-funded benefits. Bonheur alone <a href="https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/12/17/food-stamp-fraud-charges-snap-benefits-bodegas-mattapan?">allegedly redeemed</a> $6.8 million starting in 2022.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1135" data-end="1455">U.S. Attorney Leah Foley called the case evidence of a serious breakdown in oversight, blasting states like Massachusetts for refusing to share recipient data with federal investigators under the Trump administration’s renewed push to crack down on welfare fraud. Foley warned that fraud is not isolated, but widespread.</p>
<p data-start="1135" data-end="1455"><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a></b></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1457" data-end="2057">The case echoes an even more <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/minnesotas-somali-welfare-fraud-taxpayer-cash-funneled-to-terrorist-group">massive scandal</a> uncovered in Minnesota, where dozens of individuals — largely from the Somali immigrant community — have been charged in sprawling fraud schemes targeting federally funded child nutrition, Medicaid housing, and autism programs. In that case, prosecutors allege hundreds of millions of dollars were siphoned through fake nonprofits and shell companies. Law enforcement sources have further claimed that some of the stolen funds were routed overseas, including to Al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group — allegations now under federal investigation.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2059" data-end="2293">While the alleged Haitian SNAP fraud is far smaller in scale, the pattern is disturbingly similar: small storefronts, minimal services, lax state oversight, and political resistance to federal scrutiny — all enabling fraud networks to thrive.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2295" data-end="2624">Together, the cases highlight a systemic problem: massive welfare programs with weak controls, administered by states unwilling to cooperate with enforcement, become magnets for abuse. Meanwhile, taxpayers foot the bill, and legitimate recipients are left under suspicion as politicians and media downplay the scale of the fraud.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2626" data-end="2820" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">As SNAP spending approaches $100 billion annually, these cases raise an unavoidable question: how many more schemes remain hidden — and who is protecting the system that allows them to continue?</p>
