A New Government Video Of Herschel Walker Warning About Jet Ski Rentals In The Bahamas Feels Straight Out Of 'SNL'
Jun 17, 2026
Herschel Walker, a former NFL player and University of Georgia football star whose public presence was so bad he managed to lose a 2022 Senate contest in Georgia to a Democrat, was rewarded for his loyalty to MAGA Republican President Donald Trump with an appointment as ambassador to the Bahamas in 2025.
Now Ambassador Walker has released a video message for American tourists in an X post that's giving the world a glimpse into why Georgia voters gave him a pass as their Senator. Walker had a habit on the campaign trail of blurting out non sequiturs that left people baffled or amused, and the poorly worded caption on his video is on par.
Posted by the official account of the U.S. Embassy in Nassau, Bahamas, the caption for the video read:
"SAFETY ALERT: Ambassador Herschel Walker has an important message for Americans visiting The Bahamas: Jet ski rentals pose a serious risk of injury, death, and sexual assault. U.S. gov't employees are banned from renting them — and you should avoid them too."
You can see Walker's video post here:
Walker gave context to the caption in his video, but the poor wording already had the internet falling out.
Some recalled allegations levied against Walker himself—and his boss.
In his video, Walker explained that jet ski rental operators in the Bahamas may be unlicensed, uninsured, and their equipment poorly maintained and that a few have exploited their access to tourists to commit crimes. The State Department reported two incidents of sexual assault by jet ski rental operators in 2025 and three in 2024.
In the video, Walker spoke from his office, saying:
"I have an important message for Americans visiting or living in the Bahamas. The beautiful waters here are one of the reasons people love to visit these islands, but I need to warn you about some serious dangers associated with renting jet skis and small watercraft and swimming in beaches where jet skis and small watercraft are being operated in shallow waters, particularly around Nassau and Paradise Island. We’ve lost American lives to preventable accidents, multiple visitors have been hospitalized."
While the post was poorly captioned, the message is valid. Tourists should always be wary of being exploited.
Some vendors will only be interested in a traveler's cash and not their health and safety. Predators can be anywhere, even the White House, so a bit of caution is always warranted.

JD Vance Just Tried To Claim That Trump Is A 'Person Of Faith' While Hawking His New Book—And The Internet Is Calling BS
Jun 17, 2026
Vice President JD Vance had people rolling their eyes after he attempted to claim that President Donald Trump is a "person of faith" even if he "doesn't wear it on his sleeve."
Vance made the remark while promoting his new book about converting to Catholicism on Fox News on Monday, telling network personality Sean Hannity that his “spiritual side” differs from Trump “in many ways” even as they’ve maintained a “phenomenal” relationship.
In response to Hannity bringing up that Vance had previously "attacked" Trump—Vance most infamously referred to Trump as "America's Hitler" years before joining forces with the far-right—Vance had this to say:
"What is interesting about President Trump is—he doesn’t wear it on his sleeve, but he is a person of faith. And he does, like all of us, think about these very deep questions: where did we come from? Where are we going?”
“And you know, fundamentally, I think the president—he recognizes that some of the people who have been best to him, who have been critical parts of him getting to the presidency now two times and arguably three times, they were Christians.”
You can hear what Vance said in the video below.
Vance's claim is ridiculous given Trump has previously struggled to explain his "personal relationship" with God.
Despite his adultery, dishonesty, criminal behavior, and other moral failings, Trump claims to be a Christian and has actively sought and received the support of the evangelical community. He has delivered on his pledges to appoint conservative Christian judges to senior positions, a move that has been instrumental in restricting women’s reproductive rights and solidifying his base.
During last year's National Prayer Breakfast, he announced he'd established a White House "Faith Office" while pledging to "eradicate anti-Christian bias." He claimed that "the mission of this task force will be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government including in the DOJ, the IRS, the FBI, and other agencies."
During his first term, he infamously staged a photo opportunity holding a Bible in front of St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. as police officers used tear gas on peaceful racial justice demonstrators who'd convened following the murder of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis.
According to sources cited by NBC News, Trump's impromptu walk to the church was his own idea, driven by a desire for a specific visual impact.
People are not buying what Vance is selling.
Vance's comments are especially egregious when you consider that his commitment to his own religious faith has raised eyebrows.
Vance's book, published by HarperCollins, is marketed as "a spiritual exploration of what it means to be a Christian in all the seasons of life JD Vance has experienced—as a child, a young man, a husband, a father, and a leader."
However, The Bulwark’s national political reporter Joe Perticone pointed out that the cover image—showing a rural Appalachian-style chapel—actually depicts Mount Zion Church in Elk Creek, Virginia, a United Methodist church rather than a Catholic one.
Vance was also criticized last year after telling attendees at a Turning Point USA conference that he hopes his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, who is the daughter of Telugu-speaking Indian Hindu immigrants who hail from Andhra Pradesh, will convert to Christianity someday and "see things the same way" that he does.

Trump Gets Epic Geography Lesson After Claiming You Could 'Walk Right Across The Border' From Qatar To Iran
Jun 17, 2026
President Donald Trump showed he doesn't know a thing about geography after claiming you could just "walk" from Qatar to Iran in remarks at the G7 summit in France this week.
That's not true, by the way: There is no land border between Qatar and Iran. The two nations are separated by the Persian Gulf at a distance of about 119 miles.
It isn't great to know that the president can't even make accurate statements about the geography of the Middle East when he quite literally started a widely unpopular war with Iran that spilled across the wider region.
But that's exactly what Trump did while speaking to reporters alongside the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, while commending Qatar for serving as a diplomatic medium between the United States and Iran.
Trump said:
"Working with Qatar, with the people of Qatar was a pleasure. They were tough. They were strong."
"They are the closest to Iran, so, with other countries, I noticed that they had to travel about 45 minutes to get there. With you, you could walk right across the border, so you are in a more dangerous position."
"But I do have to say that you fought and you helped us and with great bravery, so I just want to compliment you on that."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Trump's claim was swiftly debunked by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Iranian state media, which posted a map online to show just how mistaken Trump really is.

Trump was widely mocked in response.
Sadly, this isn't the first time Trump has made this error.
In remarks to reporters aboard Air Force One in October, he claimed, “They’re literally, you walk over from Iran to Qatar. You can walk it in one second. You go ‘boom boom,’ and now you’re in Qatar, that’s tough territory."
Given how much has happened since, we can't help but facepalm extra hard right now.

Trump Dragged After Past Tweet Comes Back To Bite Him Hard Following Iran Deal Announcement
Jun 17, 2026
President Donald Trump is facing criticism following his announcement of a so-called "deal" to end his war with Iran now that a tweet he wrote about Iran in 2020 has resurfaced.
A senior Trump administration official said Monday that the U.S. has proposed giving Iran access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund as part of a tentative agreement, which as of now is simply a "memorandum of understanding," between the two countries, set to be signed by both parties on Friday. This MOU defers the most contentious aspects of negotiation for a 60-day window to follow the signing.
The official stressed that Iran would only gain access to the money if it complied with the deal's requirements, including permanently abandoning any pursuit of nuclear weapons and avoiding activities that could lead to renewed sanctions. The funds would also be restricted from supporting terrorism or other destabilizing actions in the region.
But the central issue that sparked the war—Iran’s nuclear program—appears largely unresolved under the current agreement. According to a Pakistani official who spoke with The Associated Press, the deal ends the U.S. naval blockade, reopens the Strait of Hormuz, and launches a 60-day negotiating period focused on Iran’s nuclear activities.
Asked whether the agreement resembled former President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear accord with Iran, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Trump rejected the comparison.
Calling the Obama-era deal “a terrible document,” Trump insisted the new agreement was fundamentally different, describing it as a “very powerful document” and indicating that it could be made public in the near future.
Now that details of the agreement have emerged, a tweet Trump posted in January 2020 has resurfaced, drawing renewed attention. The post is particularly noteworthy given how the new deal revisits issues critics contend had already been addressed under the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement.
At the time, Trump wrote:
"Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!"
You can see the post below.
Critics pounced, considering Trump seems to have proved this more true than ever.
Funnily enough, Obama himself has expressed doubts that the Trump administration's agreement would differ substantially from the nuclear deal negotiated during his administration.
In an interview set to air Wednesday on Good Morning America, Obama said he was skeptical that any new agreement would represent a meaningful improvement over the 2015 accord.
“It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different, or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place,” Obama said, arguing that the original agreement had been effective for years before Trump pulled the U.S. out of it, as he did during his first term.

Rainn Wilson Dragged After Claiming You Couldn't Make 'The Office' Today Because Of Leftist Cancel Culture
Jun 16, 2026
Just like his character on The Office, Rainn Wilson has flummoxed the internet with his take on whether the hit NBC sitcom would fit into today’s so-called “cancel culture.”
In an interview with Fox News, Wilson, 60, reflected on The Office, which premiered in 2005, starred Steve Carell, John Krasinski, and Jenna Fischer, and ran until 2013. The series was adapted from the British show of the same name and went on to become one of the most influential sitcoms of its era.
Reflecting on whether The Office could be made today, Wilson said:
"I do feel like you couldn't make 'The Office' today. I think that would be too hard to be as politically incorrect as the show was. And I do, I do kind of miss that."
Wilson acknowledged that he's “not really in the comedy world” and is “just an actor,” adding that when he hears comedians complain about what jokes they can and can't make, he wants to tell them to “make them a little smarter.”
Still, when discussing The Office, Wilson pointed to season one's “Diversity Day,” the episode in which Carell's Michael Scott creates his own diversity seminar, culminating in Kelly Kapoor, played by Mindy Kaling, slapping him across the face.
Explaining why the show's humor worked, he said:
“The whole point of the office is that Michael Scott is a boob.”
Wilson noted that both he and his character, Dwight Schrute, lack “self-awareness,” arguing that the comedy came from portraying characters whose behavior was clearly misguided.
Over time, The Office evolved from an underdog workplace comedy into one of television's most culturally significant sitcoms. The series also earned critical recognition. Wilson received three Emmy nominations for his portrayal of Dwight Schrute, while Carell earned six nominations. The show won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2006.
Continuing his thoughts on the show's humor, Wilson added:
"We milked that for a lot of great, really inappropriate stuff. But even with the fact that painting that character as just an idiot, I don't think you could get away with it today."

— Fox News (@FoxNews) June 14, 2026
Wilson also argued that there haven't been many strong comedies over the last “10 or 15 years,” a comment that quickly sparked discussion online.
The remarks are far from the first time Wilson has reflected on his career and time on The Office. During a 2023 appearance on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast, he spoke candidly about struggling with success despite starring on one of television's biggest shows.
Looking back on his mindset during The Office years, Wilson revealed:
"When I was in 'The Office,' I spent several years really mostly unhappy, because it wasn't enough.”
At the time, Wilson watched Carell, 63, transition into a successful film career with projects such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Little Miss Sunshine, and Date Night.
Discussing his ambitions at the height of the show's popularity, he said:
"I wanted millions. I was a TV star, but I wanted to be a movie star. It was never enough. Humans have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and 'never enough' has helped us as a species.”
Meanwhile, The Office continues to expand its legacy. In 2025, Peacock launched The Paper, a spinoff set at the struggling Toledo Truth Teller. Oscar Nunez reprised his role as Oscar Martinez, and the series was renewed for season two ahead of its premiere.
The internet had thoughts about Wilson's remarks:
Since The Office ended, Wilson has remained active across television, film, and publishing. His credits include the Fox series Backstrom, guest appearances on Mom, a role in the first season of Dark Winds, and Apple TV+'s Lessons in Chemistry. On the big screen, he has appeared in The Meg and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
His latest comments, however, have sparked a lively debate online, with some agreeing that television comedies have changed significantly while others reject the notion that controversial humor no longer has a place in mainstream entertainment.
For many fans, the reaction seemed best summed up by a collective Jim Halpert stare into the camera.
