The alleged murder-suicide involving former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfaxand his wife, Cerina,is as grim as it gets ... but you wouldn’t know it from his high school’s surprisingly polished tribute.
DeMatha Catholic High School is catching attention for a since-deleted statement on Instagram that reads more like an alumni spotlight than a response to a shocking domestic tragedy ... carefully sidestepping the alleged violent circumstances entirely.
The Maryland school opens by calling the situation a “tragedy,” writing, “The DeMatha community would like to express our sympathies and prayerful support to the family of Justin and Cerina Fairfax ... upon the news from this morning.” But instead of addressing the alleged murder-suicide, the message pivots fast.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reportedly has two of President Donald Trump's whistleblowers in her crosshairs ... and she's now getting the Justice Department involved in potentially prosecuting them for alleged crimes against DJT, according to a new report.
According to Fox News, Gabbard sent two criminal referrals to the DOJ -- one for a whistleblower who filed a complaint that led to Trump's impeachment in his first term. The other is for an ex-intelligence community inspector general who gave Congress a heads-up on the Trump accusations regarding a 2019 phone call he made as Commander-in-Chief to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In the referrals, Gabbard's general counsel wrote, "I want to refer information that may constitute possible criminal activity in violation of federal criminal law committed by one or more former employees of the intelligence community."
President Donald Trump has stopped bombing the hell out of Iran since the ceasefire, but alleged drug traffickers aren't so lucky -- they're still getting blown to bits.
The Commander-in-Chief is continuing to order the U.S. military to rid the world of narcotics traffickers delivering illegal substances by boat through the Pacific Ocean.
Case in point ... the U.S. Southern Command announced Wednesday that it blew up a drug trafficking vessel, wiping out "three male narco-terrorists." Check out the video, which shows the three-engine speedboat turning into a fireball as a U.S. missile slams into it from out of nowhere.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sounds like a bizarro Dr. Doolittle ... because he once chopped off a dead raccoon's penis.
President Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services has a new biography out, written by Isabel Vincent, containing a journal entry of him recalling a strange interaction with some roadkill.
In "RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise," there's a passage from RFK Jr.'s journal that reads ... "I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be."
Yes ... RFK Jr.'s brother Douglas Kennedy and cousin Bobby Shriver are the family weirdos.
The Magnum Ice Cream Company may start melting under the heated words of Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen, who continues to call for the company he founded to be set free from Magnum ... their parent company.
Check out the video ... Cohen says he continues to try and get The Magnum Ice Cream Company to sell off Ben & Jerry’s because they just don’t align on social policy issues. He says the Magnum corporation is “destroying the heart and the soul of Ben & Jerry’s and have neutered the social mission.”
Cohen -- who founded the iconic pint ice cream brand with his business partner, Jerry Greenfield, 47 years ago -- has been an outspoken critic of the Magnum brand since they took over his company back in 2025. Now he is milking inspiration from the classic “Free Cone Day,” a holiday where Ben & Jerry’s gives out free ice cream to customers, dubbing it “Free the Cone.”
Luke Gulbranson is brushing off his reality TV past as he dives into politics ... saying voters in Minnesota aren’t checking his IMDb -- they’re checking their wallets.

Erika Kirk was supposed to join J.D. Vance as he headlined a Turning Point USA event at the University of Georgia Tuesday ... but she backed out last minute after allegedly receiving "very serious threats."
Instead, TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet sat in for her, explaining to the VP -- and the audience -- why Charlie Kirk's widow didn't show.
Kolvet said ... "Mr. Vice President, I’m on stage here instead of our friend Erika Kirk because unfortunately she has received some very serious threats in her direction."
He added ... "It’s a terrible reflection on the state of reality and the state of the country."
Erika herself acknowledged her absence on X, saying she had been "looking forward" to the event ... but explained, "after all our family has been through, I take my security team’s recommendations extremely seriously."
Candace Owens, however, is not buying it. She accused Erika of backing out due to "bad ticket sales," telling her in a reply ... "Stop. This is exhausting."
Candace continued ... "People don’t believe you and don’t line up for you because you struggle to tell the truth about even the most basic facts. Where is the video of Charlie appointing you as CEO weeks before his death?"
Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.
Candace argued the Secret Service wouldn't have allowed Vance to follow through with the event if there was "a viable threat."
She slammed Erika's "s*** Public Relations team" as the actual threat, saying they "operate under the delusion that they are smarter than the public."
To Candace's point ... there were tons of empty seats at the TPUSA tour stop.

Sherri is fully onboard with the idea ... telling Lemon he seems like a person she could totally imagine running for president -- and, he says "Why not?" ... as in "Why not him?"
Dave Chappelle is ripping Republicans for running on transgender issues by "doing a weaponized version" of his transgender jokes ... and he says he resents them for it.
The comedian laid into the GOP in a new interview with NPR, saying Republicans twisted his words to their benefit and made his transgender jokes a lot nastier than what they really were.
Dave gave "NPR Newsmakers" host Michel Martin an example ... recalling a visit to Capitol Hill where Congress members from both sides of the aisle were hounding him for photos. He says he didn't know how to "respectfully decline," so he took photos with everyone ... including GOP firebrand Lauren Boebert.
Rep. Nancy Mace announced a major loss in her family ... she took to social media to announce her father, Gen. James E. Mace, died Tuesday night.

From TV screens to Capitol Hill ... "Summer House" alum Luke Gulbranson has announced his campaign for Congress in Minnesota’s 8th District.
The former reality star announced his candidacy Wednesday morning, and will run his campaign on focused on lowering costs, protecting essential programs, and expanding access to affordable healthcare.
Luke says he relates to the everyday Minnesotan, growing up in a working-class family that sometimes experienced financial hardship -- including reliance on food assistance and Medicaid.
He explains ... "I know what it’s like to worry about putting food on the table or paying the electric bill. I’ve lived the challenges so many families in this district are facing right now. I’m running for Congress to make sure no one is forgotten and to fight for an economy and healthcare system that actually works for us."
Dems and Republicans have shown they are not capable of compromise when it comes to funding the Dept. of Homeland Security -- which is why thousands of workers are not getting paid -- so we decided to put something on the table so these workers can put food on theirs.
Jacob ran into Rep. Ritchie Torres late Tuesday on Capitol Hill, and he played "Let's Make a Deal" ... suggesting a compromise ... fund all of DHS, including ICE, with the proviso that ICE agents could not wear masks and they'd have to get search warrants.
True, it's not everything Dems want, and Republicans might wince ... but at least it's a compromise to fund DHS, and they could work out other details later.
