Hegseth Slammed After Guard At Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier Calls Out His Group's Disrespectful Behavior On Veterans Day
Nov 13, 2026
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized after his group had to be admonished by a U.S. Army sentinel for loudly talking and laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day.
Strict decorum is maintained at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, one of the nation’s most revered war memorials. The tomb commemorates an unidentified American serviceman killed during World War I, with remains two unknown soldiers from World War II and the Korean War later added. Since 1948, a soldier from the Army’s Old Guard has stood watch over it around the clock, in all weather conditions.
Hegseth was with some members of his senior staff when they stopped to take photos. Footage obtained by CNN shows that the group was talking and laughing loudly enough to warrant a reprimand from an Army sentinel.
The sentinel yelled:
“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!"
You can watch what happened in the video below.
Hegseth did not address the incident directly. Instead, Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a written statement: "While commemorating this solemn day, a soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum."
Hegseth was quickly called out for a display of disrespect observers noted is standard for the Trump administration—even at solemn sites like this one.
Hegseth and his team were reprimanded just a day after he survived impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives.
In a closely contested 211–204 vote, the Republican-controlled House voted to send the impeachment resolution to committee, effectively shelving the effort to impeach Hegseth over the war in Iran and other allegations until the next Congress, when Democrats will take control of both chambers following their historic victories in last week's midterm elections.
The impeachment resolution brought by Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie alleges that Hegseth abused his office in several ways, including launching military action against Iran without congressional approval, failing to safeguard civilians, and overseeing deadly strikes on suspected drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean.
Hegseth was adamant earlier this week that every military operation he oversaw "was a lawful operation ordered by the Commander in Chief, then ordered by myself, notified to Congress, and executed by American warriors who did their jobs."

Woman Details 'Absolutely Horrible' Experience Dating Celebrity She Met On Tinder In Viral TikTok
Nov 12, 2026
Most of us have at least one, if not a few, dating horror stories under our belt.
The possible scenarios only escalate if we live in a celebrity-centric area like Los Angeles or New York.
TikToker @stephaniematto, for example, was reminiscing about the time she moved out to LA at 26 years old to try her hand at acting. Her acting career didn't exactly pan out, so she turned to exotic dancing.
She was also interested in dating someone, so she created an account on Tinder, and soon after, she connected with a celebrity who was on a popular baseball-focused HBO show at the time.
The pair talked back and forth for a while before agreeing to go on a first date at a comedy club where the celebrity would be performing. The TikToker brought a friend to watch the show, and after the show, her friend went home, not wanting to be a third wheel.
After sharing some drinks and some laughs, the TikToker invited herself to the celebrity's home, where they stayed up until 4:00 AM, talking about her ex-boyfriend, who'd disappeared from her life supposedly because he had a brain tumor, only for her to later find out that he had a wife and children that he'd been hiding from her.
The celebrity seemed interested, and TikToker @stephaniematto thought the date went well, but she didn't hear from him after their late-night excursion.
After that date, her work at the club slowed down, so she signed up for a "sugar daddy" website in the hopes of earning some money that way.
Right away, she heard from the same celebrity again, who admitted to using that website and finding her on there. He asked her some questions about her interest in using the site, and she could tell he was interested in the prospect, so she decided to try her luck.
The pair went on a few more dates, and he also started to give her money for various things, including $300 for a car payment, as long as she was mean to him.
After they did this for a while, the TikToker admitted that she could really see the relationship going somewhere, and she thought that the guy genuinely liked her, so she probed the idea of making their relationship official.
The celebrity immediately turned her down, stating that he actually had arrangements like hers with multiple women, including his personal assistant, and the relationship was over after that.
You can watch the video here:
Some called the TikToker out, saying that the "horrible" part of the dating experience would be hearing about someone else's ex.





Others agreed and said that a relationship dynamic like this kind of sounded like a dream.





This is a great example of how everyone likes and tolerates different things in their relationships.
While this was horrible for the TikToker, others thought it sounded like a great option, and while she wanted to escalate the arrangement to a romantic relationship, it clearly wasn't the right fit for the celebrity.

Black Ole Miss Students Speak Out After Catching White Students Making Racist Gestures And Noises On Doorbell Cam
Nov 12, 2026
An ordinary Friday night took a disturbing turn for three Black Ole Miss freshmen when their doorbell camera captured two white students beating their chests and making ape-like noises outside their apartment.
Nearly a week after the November 6 incident, the students are speaking out about the racist behavior—and the confrontation that followed.
Their Ring camera captured the encounter that has since drawn national attention:
Confronting the women did little to ease the situation. One apologized, but another allegedly continued making racist gestures even as the students demanded an explanation.
Victoria G. Johnson recalled the particularly painful exchange during an interview with CBS Mornings:
“She continued to make the gestures after the girl was apologizing. It was like a slap in the face.”
The experience was particularly jarring for Johnson, a radiology student who had never personally encountered anything similar. She shares the off-campus apartment with two other Mississippi natives and Ole Miss freshmen—Kaiyden Caldwell, a nursing student, and Jakiyra Metcalf, 18, who studies psychology.
Metcalf discovered the footage on their Ring camera and later uploaded it to TikTok, bringing the encounter to a much wider audience. But before the video went viral, she and Johnson had already confronted the women, hoping to understand why they behaved that way.
Johnson recalled the explanation one woman offered when they confronted her:
“I’m sorry, we’ve did that to like, four doors.”
The woman's explanation did little to quiet the controversy. By Monday, the footage had attracted more than 12 million views, and Ole Miss was facing questions about how it would address the conduct of its students.
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Shawnboda Mead made the university's position clear:
“Every student deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued at the University of Mississippi. Racism and actions that disparage people because of an aspect of their identity have no place in our campus community.”
The university's condemnation addressed the behavior, but for the students who experienced it firsthand, the issue extended beyond whether the women knew who lived behind the door. Metcalf said the gestures themselves were disrespectful, regardless of whom they were directed toward.
Metcalf explained why the women's intentions didn't change how she viewed the incident:
“I feel like no matter who we are or if she knew our race or not, but the gestures and the noises, I feel like it’s still very disrespectful. I just have mixed feelings about it.”
One of the women at the center of the doorbell controversy has since come forward. Alaina Kunes, 18, a Wisconsin native and Ole Miss student, was among the two women making the racist gestures. A second woman also participated, while a third appeared in the footage without joining in.
Kunes later claimed she had never met the students and was unaware of their race before the incident:
“To the women I offended, and to the Ole Miss community, I sincerely apologize. Before the incident on November 6, I never met the women involved and was unaware of their race, however, I recognize my actions were insensitive, inappropriate, and deeply harmful.”
Kunes also said she had apologized directly to the students, asked for their forgiveness, and intended to cooperate with the university's investigation. She has since reportedly withdrawn from Ole Miss, citing safety concerns and harassment.
Her full public apology was shared on November 10:
Alaina Kunes, a University of Mississippi student who was captured on video walking past an apartment making monkey noises and gestures at the door, has issued a public apology https://t.co/L5NdlHTbCc https://t.co/VuTJLAxcNG
— philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) November 10, 2026
Whether Kunes' apology reflected genuine remorse or an attempt to move past the controversy remains unclear. For the students, however, her words couldn't undo the behavior they had witnessed.
For Caldwell, the apology mattered, but it couldn't undo the hurt caused by the encounter:
“I appreciate the apology, but I feel like it still doesn’t change what has happened on that Friday because it’s still hurtful and it’s still devastating that someone would come to our door and do that.”
The three students shared more about the encounter and its aftermath during their full interview with Jericka Duncan:
- YouTube CBS Mornings
While the original video sparked widespread attention, the students' interview gave the public a fuller account of the encounter and its emotional impact. Their reactions to Kunes' apology also brought the question of accountability into sharper focus.
Here's what people had to say:












Two years before three Black Ole Miss freshmen confronted racist gestures outside their apartment, another Black woman experienced similar behavior on the same campus.
During a May 2024 pro-Palestinian demonstration, a white student made ape-like gestures toward a Black graduate student. Phi Delta Theta later expelled him from the fraternity.
The 2024 confrontation was documented in footage from the demonstration:
The incidents stand in sharp contrast to another development in Mississippi this week. On Wednesday, Democrat Scott Colom defeated Republican U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, becoming the first Black U.S. senator elected by Mississippi voters.
For a state whose history includes fierce resistance to Black political participation, Colom's victory represents a significant milestone. But the experiences of four Black women at Ole Miss reveal another side of Mississippi—one where historic progress at the ballot box has not eliminated racist behavior.

Nurse Sparks Heated Debate After 'Pranking' Surgeon For Viral TikTok Trend Right Before Surgery
Nov 12, 2026
Some TikTok trends are fun and humorous. Others could potentially get someone hurt.
TikToker @admire.yae, who has since privated her account because of negative feedback online, shared a video, which she claimed was part of a viral TikTok trend, only for it to go horribly wrong.
The nurse and TikToker had already entered an operating room and had set up the table of instruments for the surgeon she would be assisting. Then she recorded a video, showing her take on a supposed TikTok trend by cutting up the middle finger of one of his latex gloves.
After cutting off the middle finger, the surgeon walked in, having already scrubbed in, and she assisted him with dressing in his surgical gown before assisting him in putting on two layers of gloves.
But then she gestured to his left hand, pointing out his bare finger.
The surgeon was so angry that he pulled off the gloves and the surgical gown and dropped them to the floor before exiting the operating room, because he had to start over and scrub in again before being able to continue with surgery.
After receiving overwhelmingly negative feedback, the TikToker took the video down and privated her account, but X user @heyyitsjanea was quick to post it on the platform.
You can watch the reposted video here:
Fellow X users were disgusted by the nurse's actions, pointing out that this not only inconvenienced the surgeon, but it also could have potentially created unnecessary health risks for the surgical patient.
Some people might be quick to dismiss this as "just a joke" or a simple TikTok prank, but when it comes to people's health, that isn't something that should be messed with or joked about.
Especially when it comes to a surgical procedure, that surgeon would have had to assume that all of his surgical gear was compromised, so he'd have to scrub in a second time and completely re-dress, through no fault of his own, just to get started on a surgery that might even be timely.
No matter how much fun social media trends might be, that is no laughing matter.

Former Rutgers TPUSA Vice President Claims She Was Assaulted By Several Members At Youth Event
Nov 12, 2026
Controversial conservative student organization Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is facing a new scandal as one of their own members is calling out the organization as an unsafe environment for women.
The former vice president of the Rutgers University chapter of TPUSA alleged in a public video going viral across social media that she was assaulted at one of their events. Megyn Doyle, a sophomore in Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences, said members of the organization attacked her in a hotel room, held her down, then "assaulted and violated" her while others watched, cheered, and filmed the assault.
The allegations were first made in October when a now-deleted video was posted to the TPUSA Rutgers Instagram story. The video showed a woman's legs surrounded by men with one man on top of her.
It was accompanied with the text:
"Join TPUSA so you can get assaulted by men"
Shortly after it was uploaded, Doyle confirmed she was the woman in the video in a brief statement on her personal Instagram account.
In the newer video, Doyle alleged her peers assaulted her on July 9 when she tried to retrieve her menstrual products from another chapter leader's hotel room during their stay at a leadership summit in Maryland. Doyle also noted she is working with the Rutgers University Police Department after reporting the assault on October 26 and that she plans on pursuing legal recourse.
Doyle stated:
"My main priority now is to see what can I do and ultimately to move forward and, hopefully, get accountability from this incident."
You can see her video here:
Representatives from TPUSA told TMZ that the organization "takes assault allegations incredibly seriously" and conducted their own internal investigation and all the men they interviewed "were adamant that no sexual assault occurred."
TPUSA stated:
"When we were notified of the incident in October, more than 3 months after the July event in question, we immediately launched an internal investigation and attempted to interview all those involved..."
"At no point were any TPUSA staff involved, nor was staff made aware of these allegations during the event. Had they been brought to our attention, we would have immediately assisted the student in engaging law enforcement and provided all necessary support. Student safety remains our top priority."
They also complained that Doyle didn't want to work with them on their internal investigation, preferring instead to work with law enforcement.
People were unsurprised that an organization cofounded by a misogynist who frequently spouted his disdain for women would attract toxic members of the Manosphere who view women as objects that serve their needs instead of as people.






Doyle has not specified if she viewed the assault as a physical or sexual one. The criminal investigation into the alleged assault is ongoing.
