Former United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is receiving heat for a commutation she made as the governor of South Dakota. A man who was previously sentenced to life in prison but later had his sentenced commuted by then Governor Kristi Noem has now been arrested in connection to the death of a 14-year-old. Mark Milk, 51, who was previous sentenced to life in prison on a manslaughter conviction is now in legal trouble again as he has been charged in the connection to the death of McKenna Wendel. ABC News reported more on Milk’s charges and revealed how McKenna Wendel died: A man whose life sentence for manslaughter was commuted by then-South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been charged in connection with the death of a 14-year-old girl, in what authorities called a “horrific” case. McKenna Wendel was reported missing in mid-March and found dead in a rural area near Brookings, South Dakota, following a dayslong search, according to Sioux Falls police. Following a monthslong investigation, her relative, 51-year-old Mark Milk, faces federal charges alleging he transported a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, possessed cocaine that led to McKenna’s death and then conspired with another man to destroy evidence, according to the indictment. The other defendant, 38-year-old Jon Rogness of Brookings, is also accused of acting as an accessory to help Milk avoid prosecution, according to the indictment. The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Iowa. Prosecutors did not go into detail regarding the case, including where the alleged acts took place or the connection between the two defendants. “The Department of Justice policy is to pursue the most serious, readily provable charges, and the charges that are alleged in the indictment all occurred within the Northern District of Iowa,” Iowa U.S. Attorney Leif Olson said during a press briefing Thursday when asked how the jurisdiction was decided in the case.

He's been charged with the murder of a 14-year-old McKenna Wendel. pic.twitter.com/rbtZrtFruc — 0HOUR1 (@__0HOUR1_) June 18, 2026 USA Today reported more on Milk’s previous manslaughter conviction: Mark Milk is a 51-year-old Sioux Falls resident who was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the 1993 stabbing death of Shawn Peneaux during a bar fight in downtown Winner, South Dakota. Both men were 19 years old at the time. Milk claimed self-defense in the case but the trial court at the time noted that it was “one of the most vicious, brutal homicides it had ever seen,” according to documents from the Supreme Court of South Dakota. Milk kicked the victim “until his head was soft,” stabbing him in the chest and face and cutting off his right ear, court records say. The court ruled at the time that photographic evidence in the case “clearly” indicated “Milk went well beyond merely defending himself.” After nearly two decades in prison, Milk sought a commutation. In 2022, he told the South Dakota Board of Pardons and Paroles that he used his work release paychecks to open a bank account for his nieces and nephews’ college educations, saying: “I love my time with them.” Milk’s parents were quoted then as saying they were “accepting of his dark past and support his journey to do better inside the walls,” such as mentoring young men in and out of prison. Mark Milk talks about the Family Powwows while his niece McKenna sits in his lap Saturday, Dec. 8, at the South Dakota State Penitentiary. “We tend to think we let our families down,” Milk said. “It’s nice to make them proud.” Noem commuted Milk’s life sentence based on a positive recommendation from the parole board, which was “swayed by his work ethic and ascension to a trainer’s post” while he was working for Metal Craft Industries at the prison where he was housed as a maximum-security inmate, according to previous Argus Leader reporting.

(Warning: this article contains GRAPHIC content that may be disturbing.) The Karmelo Anthony murder trial is now over, and the convicted killer has been sentenced to 35 years in prison. But, the nation still remains divided over what should have been a very direct, conclusive verdict. You murder, you go to prison. Simple as pie. But, you still have low-IQ people out there, like Rep. Jasmine Crockett for example, who try to paint Karmelo Anthony as the victim here. On Friday, several pieces of evidence from the trial were released to the public that might help put to rest any lingering doubts that Karmelo Anthony acted in self-defense. First, we have the surveillance tape from the day Karmelo Anthony killed high school football star Austin Metcalf. This footage is extremely grainy. But, if you watch closely, you can see the moment Metcalf (in the back inside the yellow tent) stands up and barely shoves Anthony, who then immediately stabs him. Watch for yourself here:   And, here’s a zoomed-in, slow-motion clip of the moment Anthony stabbed Metcalf, then ran away: SLOW-MOTION security camera footage shows the final moments before Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed by Karmelo Anthony. https://t.co/1pzCO2JNzg pic.twitter.com/oN6acXBKcA — I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) June 20, 2026 If you want to see it, here’s the full surveillance tape (the stabbing occurs around the 7:58 mark): #BREAKING: This is the surveillance footage jurors were shown before convicting Karmelo Anthony of murder.

In it, Anthony can be heard confessing to the crime. When Officer Cortez referred to him as the “alleged” suspect, Anthony corrected him, “I’m not alleged, sir, I did it.” Here’s the full bodycam footage: JUST IN: The bodycam footage of Karmelo Anthony's arrest following him MURDERING Austin Metcalf has officially been released Karmelo at NO POINT showed remorse.

Other photos show the blood-soaked interior of a jacket, including heavy staining around the lining and apparent punctures in the fabric. The coat belonged to Joshua Rebmann, a Liberty High School football coach who rushed to render aid to Metcalf — using the garment to stem the bleeding. The newly released trial exhibits also include images of the folding Ozark Trail multitool knife prosecutors identified as the murder weapon. Anthony used the 3.5-inch serrated blade to stab Metcalf after the teen and his brother confronted him for sitting in their team’s tent at Memorial High School in Frisco in April of last year. Metcalf’s heart was pierced, and he was unconscious by the time authorities reached him. The murder of Austin Metcalf was utterly heartbreaking. This young man had his whole life ahead of him. Instead, his life was cut short. A twin lost his brother that fateful day. Parents lost their son. It’s so sad. But now, justice has been served, and the murderer is going to jail for a long time. Hopefully, all this new evidence will settle the ridiculous “controversy” over Karmelo Anthony’s guilty verdict. What are your thoughts? This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

Friday was Tulsi Gabbard’s last day as Director of National Intelligence. She is leaving to care for her husband, who has cancer. But, she went out with a bang! As her final move, she released a huge trove of newly-declassified documents that she claims implicate Dr. Anthony Fauci. The documents include evidence of Fauci’s involvement in funding coronavirus research in Wuhan and working with the Intelligence Community to hide the truth. An ODNI press release detailed the release: Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Anthony Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)—work which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic. Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the Intelligence Community (IC) to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus’ lab-leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. These documents expose Fauci’s direct role in influencing and manipulating IC assessments on COVID-19, and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024, when under oath he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research. You can view the communications and documents HERE. “The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous hardship and pain for millions of our fellow Americans and for countless people around the world. After years of lies, censorship, and cover ups, the American people deserve transparency, truth, and accountability,” DNI Gabbard said. “The tactics used to hide the truth are straight from the deep state playbook: politicized self-serving leaders like Dr. Fauci covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected President by restricting his access to vital facts needed to keep the country safe. It’s time the American people learn the real story.” The materials released today are a result of DNI Gabbard’s yearlong declassification review in support of President Trump’s maximum transparency mandate. During this process, ODNI officials gathered testimony from multiple IC whistleblowers who reported retaliation for challenging the IC’s manipulation of intelligence on the virus’ origins. This unveiled a clear pattern of suppressing dissent, silencing critics, and burying evidence that undermined IC integrity and disserved the American people. Fauci’s close IC relationships enabled him to assume three key roles during the pandemic that shielded him from scrutiny as he wielded outsized influence. Fauci funded risky coronavirus research linked to big pharma and the pursuit of “universal vaccines” worth trillions of dollars. Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, with his hand-picked experts, pushed the IC to endorse a natural, animal origin to hide his dangerous research. Fauci became the nation’s pandemic “pundit” and publicly pushed lies, disinformation, and censorship. Fauci’s Relationship With The Intelligence Community Drove Intelligence & Public Narratives Throughout the pandemic, Fauci and politicized leaders within the IC created a self-serving circular reporting loop. He provided hand-picked NIAID-funded scientists to advise the IC. This input shaped official intelligence assessments, which were then publicly cited as scientific consensus to refute the lab-leak theory. According to hundreds of reviewed emails, the IC almost always incorporated his recommendations. Fauci promoted a fraudulent paper, whose publication he helped prompt, as legitimate information for Intelligence Community consideration. Senior analysts praised Fauci not as a “policymaker,” but as an unbiased guide to “the real coronavirus experts”—while ignoring experts who might dissent from Fauci’s narratives. Fauci Lied to Congress The correspondence released today directly contradicts Fauci’s 2024 testimony to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. In that hearing, while under oath, Fauci was repeatedly asked whether he spoke to “FBI, CIA, DIA or any U.S. intelligence agency concerning viral research” before, during, or after the pandemic. Fauci repeatedly dodged the questions, before falsely stating, “not to my knowledge about COVID.” Retaliation Against Truth-Seekers Testimony from multiple whistleblowers reveals intelligence analysts who challenged Fauci’s COVID-origin conclusions faced threat of retaliation, were marginalized, and often suffered career setbacks. This silenced dissent and fostered a culture where truth was sacrificed to conformity and credible evidence was buried. The following are examples from whistleblower accounts that Director Gabbard has referred to the Intelligence Community’s Inspector General. A contractor was terminated just days after coming forward to ODNI as a whistleblower. Managers reminded analysts who advocated for the lab-leak hypothesis that leadership would determine which analysts would be promoted. The message was clear: disagreement with the manipulated finding would derail careers. Senior leaders allegedly set up roadblocks for whistleblowers, removing anonymity from the complaint process by insisting managers or attorneys be present at ODNI meetings, creating an atmosphere of intimidation. Tulsi Gabbard also released a video exposing Fauci, which you can watch right here: Now that’s what you call a parting gift! Tulsi Gabbard will be missed in the Trump administration. Please keep her and her husband in your prayers. This final release follows another massive document dump last week on U.S.-funded biolabs around the world.

Iran has once again closed the Strait of Hormuz. Just nearly a week after Iranian officials signed a MOU with the United States that guaranteed the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s military has announced the strait has been closed once again. Iran has cited Israel’s recent attacks on Lebanon were the reason behind the closure of the strait. The Hill had further details on the current status of the Strait of Hormuz: Iran’s top joint military command said on Saturday morning that it will close the Strait of Hormuz, a major oil trading corridor, due to ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon during a ceasefire agreement. Khatam al-Anbiya Central ‌Headquarters said the attacks violated the ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran. Israel targeted Iran-backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah hours after the two sides agreed to halt fighting. “In view of the United States’ bad faith and its clear breach of its commitments by failing to implement the first article of the memorandum ending the war, and in response to the continuous and ongoing violation of the ceasefire by the Zionist regime in southern Lebanon… It hereby announces that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed to the passage of vessels,” the military command said in a statement reported by state broadcaster IRIB. Al Jeezera reports: Iran’s military says it has closed the Strait of Hormuz over Israel’s attacks on southern Lebanon that have killed at least 32 people since dawn.

According to the Mehr report, Iran’s military stated that the closure is also in response to continued Israeli operations against Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah. According to Mehr, Iran’s military declared the closure of the strait as the “first step” in its response and stated that if the US and Israel continue to act in a manner it deems as breaching the agreement, “further steps will be planned and taken to force the enemy to fulfill its obligations.” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson asserted that the US is “obligated” to force Israel to stop all action against Hezbollah, according to Fars.

Like his plans for a White House ballroom and other improvements to the nation’s capital, President Donald Trump’s critics are gleefully finding fault with the recent renovations to the Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool. And while an algae outbreak is now under control, some media outlets have reported apparent paint chips in the coat recently applied to the massive pool. Trump himself referenced some of these issues in a social media post, asserting that they’ve been exacerbated by an extension of the vandalism widely reported earlier this month. As The Hill reported: “We’ve had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, which sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.  Trump referenced a recent incident in which the numbers “86 47” appeared in the grass on the National Mall, just days before his 80th birthday. The phrase has been interpreted as signaling opposition to the president, with 86 being slang for something to get rid of and Trump being the 47th U.S. president. “Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they’ve also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed,” Trump wrote in the post. “No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work.” Trump said law enforcement is “actively investigating” the vandalism. This renovation project is part of the president’s beautification efforts in Washington, D.C. — an initiative headed by the Interior Department (DOI).  “We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, D.C.,” Trump wrote in the post, adding that “things are looking really good” in the capital city since his initiative began.   His remarks received significant attention from users on X: It’s sad that democrats and leftists have such TDS that they can’t even appreciate cleanliness and beauty. They have to destroy everything that has honor and respect. They are total denigrates.

Administration officials previously characterized the message as threatening, arguing that “86” is sometimes used as slang for removing or getting rid of something, while “47” refers to Trump as the nation’s 47th president. Trump announced on June 6 that the $14.8 million restoration project at the historic reflecting pool had been completed. Days later, however, algae appeared throughout the pool, masking portions of the newly restored “American flag blue” bottom.
