Former NASCAR driver Matt Tifft was fined for his involvement in a post-race scuffle in which he was kicked in the face by a crew member from another team.The incident, which Tifft called "over the line," happened after the Glass City 200 at the Toledo Speedway in Ohio. Tifft said that after the race, he attempted to confront the driver of the No. 23 car, driven by Billy VanMeter, who Tifft alleged wrecked several cars in the race, including himself.Only nine cars actually finished, including VanMeter, while Tifft was among seven cars that did not finish due to accidents.Tifft posted a video of the incident online that showed him approaching VanMeter's crew after the event."Hey, what the f***?!" Tifft said as he walked toward VanMeter.The driver was quickly subdued by a crew member, who put him in a headlock and brought him to the ground."Get out of here! You came to the wrong place!" the crew member is heard saying. Tifft said he initially had no problem with the altercation being broken up by the crew member and subsequently a racing official."I had no problem with that. I instigated the confrontation, he was trying to break it up and protect their driver, I'm all good with that. ... [The official] did a great job and was doing nothing but his duty to break up the fight."However, Tifft said that after he had clearly given up on the situation and was on the ground, another crew member named Bryan Glaze kicked him in the face. "Under no circumstance do you just line up a kick, like you're in the NFL, to someone's face," Tifft said in an interview with Blaze News. "That's just over the line. And to add to it, he not only connected with my face but ended up kicking the official too."Tifft was making his first comeback since leaving NASCAR in 2019 due to a brain tumor and an epilepsy diagnosis. For the Toledo race under the American Speed Association, he explained that he had heard about VanMeter beforehand."I was warned he was notorious for wrecking drivers, and unfortunately I fell victim that day," the driver said.In a caption for the video, Tifft wrote, "Hopefully this is the last time getting 'VanMetered.'"'I won't press charges to anybody else on the team.'The ASA Stars National Tour quickly took action against all parties involved, fining Tifft $250 and deducting 25 points from his tour score. He was also placed on probation for the remainder of the calendar year.Crew member Glaze was suspended indefinitely from all events and fined $2,000. The car owner and team were placed on probation.Driver VanMeter also lost 25 points and was placed on probation for the remainder of the calendar year.After seeing the video, Tifft said he is "seriously considering" pressing charges against Glaze due to how "egregious" his actions were."I won't press charges to anybody else on the team, again no problem with a little scuffle, but I am seriously considering it with Bryan because of the fact that aspiring young drivers come through this series to develop, and they don't need to be around people like this."Tifft concluded by stating he will not be retaliating against VanMeter in any way and hopes that he will race clean in the future. The driver said that he wanted to channel all the drama into attention toward a good cause when he appears at the Akron Children's Hospital Dance for Kids event on October 18."Watch me dance (terribly) on stage with some kids for a good cause."Like Blaze News?

The FBI is investigating the incident at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida as a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump — but is the FBI trustworthy to lead this investigation? FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, who exposed what really happened in the FBI's Mar-a-Lago raid — is blowing the whistle again. This time, he’s warning that the same FBI office is handling this investigation. “The guy who authorized that, and then dummied evidence up, is the guy in charge now of the FBI’s investigation of this shooter,” Glenn Beck says, shocked. “It actually goes a little bit deeper than that Glenn,” Friend comments. Friend explains that Jeffrey Beltre was once the deputy assistant director of the security division for the FBI before assuming his current post as a special agent in charge of Miami’s FBI. His prior position is the branch that goes after the whistleblowers. Friend notes that Beltre has said that “they were looking to purge from the ranks people who were military veterans because he thought that they were disloyal, as well as people who attended regular religious worship ceremonies and opposed the coronavirus vaccine.” When he announced he was going to Miami, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Deputy Director Paul Abbate, and Executive Assistant Director Jen Moore told him to cleanse his social media accounts of all the anti-Trump vitriol. “Now, he’s in a position of authority in the FBI Miami office, and that is the office that has the responsibility for investigating this latest assassination attempt,” Friend explains. “So you think the guy who wanted to purge the FBI of military people, religious people, and Trump supporters might not do an honest investigation?” Glenn asks.

Bless Jimmy Kimmel’s heart. The far-left comedian took the summer off but is back to his angry ways over at ABC. He greeted the news of the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump exactly as one would expect. 'I don't do politics. ... I’m one of them people [who says], "What the heck? Shut up. Nobody asked you."' No sympathy. No laughs. Just victim-blaming. “You are nothing if not a calming influence. … This is a man who, for the past week, has been spreading a complete lie that he knows is a lie, saying Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.” It’s a mystery that late-night TV will be joining VHS tapes and pagers on the scrap heap of history. Call in Columbo! Disney's 'gay explosion' Team Disney can’t get its messaging straight. No pun intended. A new report says the Mouse House dialed back on its “not-so-secret” gay agenda with “Inside Out 2." CEO Bob Iger previously insisted that the company is trying to “quiet the noise” on the culture war front. The strategy seems to have paid off: The sequel is Pixar's biggest hit ever, the biggest hit of the year, and the top-grossing animated film of all time. Yet Disney+ continues to pump out gay messaging in its original shows. And the casts can’t stop crowing about it. The latest example? “Agatha All Along,” the new MCU series starring Kathryn Hahn as the title character. The show’s stars simultaneously worked the red-carpet premiere and pushed the show’s gay bona fides. Co-star Aubrey Plaza of “Parks and Recreation” fame teased the series as ending with a “gay explosion.” What was the confetti budget on the series? There’s nothing wrong with gay characters being a part of this or any other program. The incessant woke messaging toward that end is alienating some fans and putting the emphasis where it doesn’t belong. Unless “Agatha” is “Acolyte”-level bad… Jane's infliction The fightin’ Oasis brothers have some company. Jane’s Addiction's reunion tour is over following an onstage scuffle between lead singer Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro during a recent concert. Farrell punched Navarro, and the resulting melee convinced the band to take a knee for now. The rockers seemed to have mellowed with age. Farrell apologized to fans and his fellow band members, while Navarro took the high road in his response. “Our concern for [Farrell’s] personal health and safety as well as our own has left us no alternative. We hope that he will find the help he needs.” Between this and rocker Dave Grohl confessing to fathering a child out of wedlock, it feels like the 1970s all over again. Can someone please trash a hotel room … stat? Scary movie Vampires famously loathe garlic. Film critics recoil at the sight of Matt Walsh’s manly beard. Most critics ignored his 2022 film “What Is a Woman?” They’re similarly afraid of his follow-up film. It’s just a movie. Nothing to be frightened of. “Am I Racist?” scored an impressive $4.5 million over the weekend, making it the year’s most popular documentary. The Daily Wire production puts the spotlight on DEI experts, captured in “Borat”-style interviews. No mainstream movie critic has taken a whack at the film. New York Times? The Washington Post? CNN? Nuthin’. Meanwhile, indie film reviewers like Chris Gore over at Film Threat are scooping up all the clicks on their respective platforms. Clicks may be the coin of the internet realm, but critics would rather see their traffic sink than tell readers about a DEI expose… Pharrell endorses...shutting up Democratic operatives openly pined for a Taylor Swift endorsement earlier this year. If anyone could drag Weekend at Biden’s over the finish line, it’s Tay Tay, they reasoned. You can’t blame them. Swift stayed silent before finally giving Biden’s replacement, Vice President Kamala Harris, her official cat lady endorsement last week. Yet some polls suggest the Swift decree fizzled out. Pharrell thinks he knows why. The Hollywood Reporter tried to bait the “Happy” singer into yet another Harris endorsement, but he wasn’t having it. Instead, the outlet got an earful. “I don’t do politics. … In fact, I get annoyed sometimes when I see celebrities trying to tell you [who to vote for]. There are celebrities that I respect that have an opinion, but not all of them. I’m one of them people [who says], ‘What the heck? Shut up. Nobody asked you.'” To be fair, the Hollywood Reporter asked. The mag just didn’t like the answer.

Pennsylvania law prevents the processing of mail-in ballots before Election Day, which could mean significant delays in the count.
