His review -- BRILLIANT!!!
The OG non-religious father is well aware his experiment -- which is now 250 years old -- is still a work in progress. George feels like the thing that brought us together as a nation is still an important aspirational goal: Unity.
Gotta say ... he looks good for being 300. Looks like Kris Jenner's plastic surgeon put in some hours!
The fallout from Charlie Kirk's shocking murder is still rippling outward months later ... and now TMZ has learned the state of Utah paid for therapy for someone traumatized by the deadly incident -- and may eventually want the accused killer to foot the bill.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, the Utah Office for Victims of Crime paid $260 for mental health therapy for a witness on the scene following the September 2025 shooting during a Turning Point USA campus public debate session at Utah Valley University that left Charlie dead.
The paperwork labels a person named Dana Anquoe as a victim tied to the case ... but she's not suing murder suspect Tyler Robinsondirectly.
Dylan Carter's life came to a tragic end when he rolled his Tesla Saturday ... and, TMZ has obtained photos of the wrecked vehicle.
The pictures show the busted, burned-out husk of Carter's Tesla ... the wheels of the car are gone -- and it's hard to tell exactly which piece is what when looking at the wreck.

Stephen Miller's wife, Katie, wants everyone to know her husband was not using her as a human shield during the alleged assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner Saturday night ... despite what photos seem to show.
She went on Monday's episode of "The Ingraham Angle"on Fox News to set the record straight ... insisting the White House deputy chief of staff was protecting her, not hiding behind her.
Katie told Laura Ingraham ... "I went first because the threat was behind us."
Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.
If you look at the picture circulating social media ... it's easy to see why people thought Stephen was shielding himself behind his 8-month-pregnant wife.
Looks like James Comey's facing another indictment ... seven months after his last one. Two sources familiar tell CNNthat Donald Trump's Justice Department has indicted the former FBI director once again.
This new investigation is in connection with Comey's Instagram post from last year ... the one-time Trump official was accused of making threats against his ex-boss. Comey posted a photograph of seashells arranged on beach sand spelling out "8647" ... which some officials accuse him of covertly, or not so covertly, saying he wanted Trump -- who's the 47th American president -- removed from office, perhaps violently.
In hospitality/restaurant shorthand, to "86" someone is to throw them out of a location -- usually a bar or restaurant. It also means the restaurant has run out of a menu item. But "86" could also be taken to have more violent connotations ... and Comey deleted the post shortly after the accusations of a threat on Trump's life.
The last time this happened ... the ex-FBI boss was interviewed by the Secret Service, and the case was quietly dropped in May last year.

As for the argument it's a secure location, thus preventing another shooting at an outside venue ... Tlaib says this is the first time there's been such an incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and she blames it on lax security measures. She says there was no metal detector -- in fact, there was, but the shooter sprinted past it.
An Illinois woman has pleaded guilty after shelling out thousands to bankroll some of the most disturbing online content imaginable -- so-called "animal crush" videos.

ICE Director Todd M. Lyons said Fourez admitted she was deep in online chat groups and private payment rings built around creating, sharing, and discussing these violent, sexualized videos ... all for a niche -- but deeply deranged -- audience.
Don't you just hate when you show up to an event wearing the same outfit as someone else ... and that person turns out to be the Queen Consort of the United Kingdom? That's the exact situation First Lady Melania Trump found herself in with Queen Camilla and King Charles visited the White House Tuesday.
Check it out ... the two most powerful ladies in the house wore all-white outfits with huge hats to keep the sun out of their eyes -- and the ensembles are so similar ya gotta wonder how their respective teams didn't coordinate on this.
Of course, we've got a far more important question ... who'd you rather???

Rep. Nancy Mace isn't mincing words over Jimmy Kimmel's joke last week ahead of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, calling Melania an "expectant widow" ... Mace thinks he should be canned.
