The MSM is still ranting about the Signal Chat mistake and demanding that President Trump fire one or more of his Cabinet. There were no such demands when Biden’s staff destroyed Afghanistan and American soldiers and Afghans died. Mark Milley betrayed the country and was rewarded for it. According to NBC News,” a growing number […] The post NBC News Claims a Cabinet Head Must Roll Over the Signal Chat appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Spoiler Alert: This piece contains spoilers for White Lotus, Season 3. Duke University is speaking out after branded apparel featuring its name was used in a violent scene depicting suicide on the hit HBO series “The White Lotus.” “The White Lotus not only uses our brand without permission, but in our view uses it on imagery that is troubling, does not reflect our values or who we are, and simply goes too far,” Duke’s VP for communications, marketing, and public affairs Frank Tramble said in a statement to Deadline.  “Suicide is the second-leading cause of death on college campuses. As imagery from the show is being shared widely across social media, we are using our brand to promote mental health awareness and remind people that help is available,” the statement said. “Duke appreciates artistic expression and creative storytelling, but characters prominently wearing apparel bearing Duke’s federally registered trademarks creates confusion and mistakenly suggests an endorsement or affiliation where none exists,” it states. The scene in question features one of the ensemble characters, Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs), wearing a Duke T-shirt while fantasizing about killing himself. The character has been in turmoil for the whole season as he grapples with being implicated in financial fraud and losing his wealth and reputation. He’s been able to hide what’s happening from his family while they’re on vacation in Thailand, but Timothy is spiraling out of control as he contemplates returning to the United States and facing the consequences of his actions. The suicide scene is controversial, but the storyline really making the headlines involves an incestuous sexual encounter between Timothy’s two sons.  In season 3, episode 6, Saxon Ratliff (Patrick Schwarzenegger) realizes he had a threesome with his brother Lochlan Ratliff (Sam Nivola) while the two were high on drugs and drinking at a party. While discussing the scene with Variety, Nivola said series creator Mike White had a tendency to create characters who are “lovable, yet rotten at their core.” The actor also defends the actions of his character, saying Lochlan is “not a creep, necessarily.”  “It’s important to the story that he’s not some psychopath,” Nivola says of Lochlan. Episode 6 was the most watched yet, with 4.2 million viewers. At the beginning of the season, Lochlan’s main issue was deciding whether to attend Duke University – his father’s alma mater – or the University of North Carolina for college.  If you are having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or go to SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources for a list of additional resources.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem toured El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), where she was shown suspected members of Venezuela’s dangerous Tren de Aragua gang who were deported from the United States. Noem posted a video from her tour on X on Wednesday, adding a warning to criminal illegal immigrants still residing in the U.S. “I toured the CECOT, El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center,” Noem wrote on X. “President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW. If you do not leave, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and you could end up in this El Salvadorian prison.” In the video, Noem tells immigrants not to come to the U.S. illegally and that the prison is “one of the tools in our toolkit.” I toured the CECOT, El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center.

Men can be seen standing behind her, as well as sitting on three levels of shelves. CECOT is infamous for housing members of dangerous Central and South American gang members – and for its dehumanizing conditions, such as brutality and overcrowding, the New York Post reported. Inmates are provided only minimal meals of beans and pasta, with rival gangs fighting regularly over the scarce resource. Inmates are also crammed into overcrowded cells nearly 24 hours a day. The conditions are deliberate in an attempt to deter would-be gangsters. Noem toured the prison with Héctor Gustavo Villatoro, El Salvador’s Minister of Justice, before she met with President Nayib Bukele to negotiate to send more alleged gang members from the United States. The CECOT, which opened in 2023, currently holds 15,000 inmates but can hold up to 40,000, with as many as 65 to 70 in each cell, Fox News reported. Prisoners are not allowed outside, and they cannot have visitors. The prison has no educational programs. In February, Bukele offered to house criminal illegal immigrants for a “relatively low” fee after Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited the country, The Daily Wire reported at the time. “We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system,” Bukele said at the time. “We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted U.S. citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee,” he continued, adding that the fee “would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable.”
