When asked to explain anything, members of the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump can be expected to present "alternative facts." Some Trump administration lies are half-truths, but others are absolute whoppers with no basis in reality.
Trump's Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, opted to go with a lie so absurd that people were amazed he and his Fox News interviewer were able to remain straight-faced.
Appearing on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Bessent was asked to address rising beef prices. Bartiromo played a video clip of Omaha Steaks CEO Nate Rempe claiming Americans could see ground beef costing $10 a pound.
When asked to explain why, Bessent went back to the Republican standby of blaming Democratic President Joe Biden, claiming beef prices were inherited by Trump despite prices skyrocketing under Trump. Then the Trump cabinet member went on a flight of fancy with his next excuse.
Bessent stated:
"And there’s also, because of the mass immigration, a disease that had been—we’ve been rid of in North America made its way up through South America, you know, as these migrants brought some of their cattle with them."
Trump's Treasury Secretary expected people watching Fox News to be stupid enough to believe migrants from beef-producing nations like Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay were trekking from South America through the jungles with cattle.
The ridiculous comment drew the mockery it deserved.
In a thorough skewering, Fred Schott posted a few of the memes in the "Antifa, Republicans, Democrats & Independents United Against Trumpism" Facebook group with a caption reflecting on some top Trump lies that his MAGA minions gobbled up and regurgitated online.
He highlighted the repeatedly disproven campaign lie about immigrants eating pets in Ohio and the denial of Trump's close association with registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, before mocking Bessent's ridiculous excuse for rising costs caused by Trump's losing trade wars and complete ignorance of how tariffs work.
Schott snarked:
"Look, I’m sure the Ohio folks were eating the cats and the dogs. And that Trump sent birthday cards only to Clinton’s friends, not his own."
"But folks from Argentina coming thousands of miles through rainforests, deserts, and cartel checkpoints with their cattle, and then smuggling cows across the border with them? Were they walking them through with their paid Cowboy Coyotes or did they ride them in?"
"Maybe they have cow catapults like we saw in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Yeah, that must be it. Perhaps Fox will show the cow-flying scene from the movie as proof of it. While CBS gets sued for editing, you know, reality."
"Ok, I did see a guy with three cows on the plane the other day. But it wasn’t like they were in coach."

Trump campaigned on a promise to lower consumer prices, especially grocery prices.
Instead, Trump's ineptitude has driven prices up across the board, tanked the economy, and increased unemployment.
Economists and ranchers say the Trump administration’s tariffs on beef from Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, as well as rising costs for feed, farm equipment and machinery for domestic beef producers are solely to blame for rising beef prices.
The rock world has faced a heartbreaking series of losses in 2025, from Garth Hudson to Ozzy Osbourne, and now Ace Frehley, the trailblazing, cosmic-themed guitarist who helped define the sound and spectacle of KISS.
Frehley died on October 16 after suffering a fall at his home in Morristown, New Jersey. The Morris County Medical Examiner ruled his death an accident caused by blunt-force trauma. He was 74.
Frehley, born Paul Daniel Frehley in the Bronx, was laid to rest at Woodlawn Cemetery in New York City, his longtime manager John Ostrosky confirmed to the New York Post. His passing marks the end of an era for the original KISS lineup, a group whose explosive theatrics, comic-book personas, and pioneering brand of hard rock reshaped American music in the 1970s.
Over the weekend, surviving founding members Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Peter Criss took the stage in Las Vegas for their first performance since Frehley’s death. The show, part of the “KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas” fan event, opened on a somber, reflective note.
Before the music began, Stanley stepped forward to acknowledge the Spaceman’s legacy:
“Obviously, before we get going—and we're going to have an awesome time—but before we get going, we just wanted to take a moment to think about somebody who was at the foundation of this band.”
Fans had been given electric candles upon arrival, and Stanley asked the crowd to raise them high as a tribute to their fallen co-founder.
The emotional frontman continued:
“And we're talking about Ace. So, we certainly had differences, but that's what family is about. And why don't we take a moment, a little quiet, to think about him looking down on us—from [the planet] Jendell, probably—and let's have a moment for Ace. Candles up.”
The audience fell silent, honoring a musician whose guitar work, songwriting, and futuristic persona helped propel KISS from New York clubs to global arenas. Only after the moment of reflection did the band launch into its set.
Watch the band’s heartfelt tribute to Frehley in the video below:
The weekend-long event, held November 14–16 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, celebrated KISS’s five decades together and the 50th anniversary of the KISS Army. Alongside unplugged sets from the band, the lineup included appearances by Quiet Riot, Sebastian Bach, Bruce Kulick, and others—musicians whose own work was shaped by the hard-rock blueprint KISS helped create.
Frehley’s family released a statement soon after his passing, sharing the depth of their grief:
“In his last moments, we were fortunate enough to have been able to surround him with loving, caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers, and intentions as he left this earth.”
Frehley is survived by his daughter, Monique, and several close family members who described him as a devoted father, a gentle presence, and an artist whose humor never faded. They thanked fans around the world for the outpouring of love, noting that the support has brought comfort during an unimaginably difficult time.
Simmons and Stanley also issued a written tribute, acknowledging both Frehley’s creativity and his foundational role in the band’s earliest triumphs:
“[A]n essential and irreplaceable rock soldier during some of the most formative foundational chapters of the band and its history. He is and will always be a part of Kiss’s legacy.”
Frehley’s imprint on KISS is impossible to overstate. When he answered a newspaper ad placed by Simmons and Stanley in 1973, he arrived at the audition wearing mismatched sneakers, a moment that would later inspire early band iconography.
His melodic yet aggressive playing powered classics such as “Shock Me,” “Cold Gin,” and “Parasite,” and his Spaceman persona became one of the group’s most recognizable characters.

He appeared on KISS’s first nine studio albums, including Destroyer and Love Gun, and returned for the band’s 1998 reunion record Psycho Circus. His songwriting and guitar work also fueled his 1978 solo album, which became the most commercially successful of the four individual KISS solo releases.
Reflecting on that creative period earlier this year, Frehley said:
“The success of my solo album made me realize that I was more creative away from Paul, Gene, and Peter than I was around them.”
Though his relationship with his bandmates was often turbulent and marked by creative clashes, struggles with substance use, and long stretches apart, Frehley always acknowledged the bond they shared as artists who built something bigger than themselves.
As he put it:
“We were like family, and within a family, there’s always going to be disagreements. The friction for the most part was positive.”
Frehley left KISS in 1982, rejoined in 1996 for the original lineup’s reunion tour, and parted ways again in 2002 after their first “farewell” run. Guitarist Tommy Thayer has performed as the Spaceman since then. During Frehley’s years outside the band, he launched his own group, Frehley’s Comet, whose self-titled 1987 album introduced him to a new generation of fans.
Fans around the world quickly took to social media to honor the guitarist’s legacy:
In October, Frehley canceled the remaining dates of his planned 2025 tour due to undisclosed medical issues. His passing came nearly two weeks after a second fall at his home, after which he was placed on life support following a brain bleed. His family ultimately made the decision to remove him from the ventilator.
Despite the difficulties, Frehley and KISS remained intertwined—musically, culturally, and spiritually. Their contributions shaped stadium rock, makeup-driven camp theatricality, and the entire concept of rock-and-roll spectacle.
At the Las Vegas tribute, as fans lifted their candles to the sky, that legacy felt unmistakable. Ace Frehley was a pioneer, a showman, and a guitarist whose riffs will echo long after the lights fade.
School picture day is one of those occasions that parents either plan for and get excited about, or ... absolutely dread.
And both are understandable, honestly. Parents are pressured to purchase expensive photo packages, while the pictures themselves often show their children looking less than stellar in a studio space with a photographer they've never met.
But Canadian mom Brooke Hamilton was looking forward to the occasion with her children, Zuri and West, though she never could have expected how the photos would turn out. To mark the occasion, Hamilton recorded a video of the pair standing by the front door, smiling and hugging each other, with 10-year-old Zuri winking and posing in the final seconds.
As it turned out, when Zuri saw the photographer that day, she asked if she could come up with her own pose for the shot, which the photographer allowed.
The results were nothing short of iconic. West took two adorable photos that showed off his big smile and bright eyes, while his sister turned to the side, put one hand on her hip, and winked at the camera. Her other hand was held up in a "peace" sign while her mouth was open in a big smile, her tongue sticking out to the side.
Here is Zuri's school photo for this year:

You can see the video here:
@thenewmrshamilton Hahaha I can’t even be mad at this 😜✌🏻#schoolphotos #schoolpictureday #pictureday #makeyourownkindofmusic #canadiankids @Wade Hamilton
Fellow TikTokers were tickled by Zuri's personality and bravery in choosing her own pose.










Many also hoped that Brooke Hamilton would frame the photos and savor the moment forever.






Hamilton did not disappoint.
In a second video, she showed her children's photos from this year already framed and hung on the wall, starting with West looking adorably into the camera with his hands at his side, while Zuri struck her iconic pose.

@thenewmrshamilton Replying to @It’s me 🦋 you were right, smiling forever 😇🤭❤️ #schoolpictures #pictureday #siblingsbelike #Siblings #schoolpictureday @Wade Hamilton
Maybe more photographers should let children pick their poses, or offer a few fun suggestions to kids who are nervous or uncomfortable. There would have to be some rules, of course, since these photos are included in yearbooks, but it might make it more fun for everyone involved.
And instead of dreading picture day, parents could look forward to a photo that actually reflects their kids' personalities.
Speaking on the In the Arena MMA podcast, UFC fighter Brandon Royval said he would turn down an offer to fight in a cage match at the White House, calling the idea "some f**king Hunger Games type of f**king s***."
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump announced there will be on a UFC fight on the White House grounds on July 4, 2026 to celebrate our nation's 250th year of independence.
Trump expects the fight will happen in front of 20,000 to 25,000 people, a proposal backed by former two-division champion Conor McGregor, who confirmed his interest after not having competed since 2021. A spokesperson for UFC also confirmed the event will take place.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) later announced the event would happen, posting the following message along with an AI-generated image of a UFC ring directly in front of the White House:
"Coming on July 4, 2026!!"
"The UFC has confirmed plans for a championship fight on the White House grounds on July 4, 2026, as part of the U.S.'s 250th birthday celebration. President Trump proposed it, and Conor McGregor has shown interest. Specific fighters and logistics are forthcoming. Exciting times!"
You can see the post below.
Royval was firm that he would not participate even if asked:
"I don't give a f**k about any of our political figures right now, and it’s like to fight in front of them seems like some f**king Hunger Games type of f**king s***. Like, I don’t give a f**k to fight in front of some f**king billionaires and rich people that f**king could give a s*** less about me. Probably throwing parlays. It's like, f**k you guys."
"F**k all these politicians, in my opinion. I don't give a f**k about impressing any politicians. I don't care about the presidents. None of them. I don't really f**king want to fight in the White House, if I'm being honest."
Royval also criticized the racist nature of Trump's nationwide immigration crackdown that has disproportionately targeted Latinos, empowering Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest citizens and non-citizens alike:
"Honestly, I'm too Mexican-looking. ICE is suspiciously arresting motherf**kers, and I don't know. Who knows, bro? Next thing you know, I'm in Mexico and I don't speak Spanish."
Many agreed with Royval's assessment and praised him for speaking out.
It's not too much of a surprise that we'll see a UFC fight on the White House lawn soon enough.
Trump has long maintained a close friendship with UFC President Dana White, who has appeared at several of his campaign rallies. Immediately following his 2024 election victory, Trump brought White onstage to publicly thank him for his support during the campaign.
In fact, the first UFC event held after White and his partners took ownership was hosted at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City in 2001. During a 2018 Fox News interview, White said Trump "gave us our start when nobody would talk to us."
Saying goodbye to our loved ones and dealing with the grief of losing them is never easy, and pretending otherwise is probably not a good idea.
Former Disney star Calum Worthy wants to cash in on that, however. The actor may have once celebrated genuine friendship, music, and laughs during his time as Dez on Austin & Ally, but people are pretty convinced that he's gotten lost in the sauce, now that he's a co-founder for a very dystopian—and, dare we say, Black Mirror-infused—company.
Last week, Worthy posted a morally convoluted question on Twitter (X):
"What if the loved ones we've lost could be part of our future?"
A key part of the human experience is that it doesn't last forever and that we all have to say goodbye sometime. The fact that life is fleeting is what makes it precious.
But paired with Worthy's question was a video of a pregnant woman, speaking via video to her elderly mother on the phone, about her future baby. Later, when the baby boy is ten months old, the woman is on the phone with her mother again, but the new grandma appears to be in the same outfit as before.
Throughout the rest of the video, the child continues to grow up. We see him talking to his grandmother—but we see that she never appears to age or even change outfits.
The end of the video flashes back to the mom, pre-pregnancy, recording a video of her mother in real time, ostensibly to upload to a platform called "2wai," a play on "two-way calling," that allows users to continue speaking to them after they are gone.
You can watch the commercial here:
In a follow-up tweet, Worthy said of the platform:
"At 2wai, we're building a living archive of humanity, one story at a time."
"It all starts with the social network for avatars: the 2wai app."
"Try the 2wai beta on the App Store. Android coming soon."
According to the details on the 2wai website, beta users will receive access to the AI avatar of Calum Worthy "himself," and other familiar names, like William Shakespeare and Frida Kahlo.
Though Worthy spoke highly of the platform, fellow X users found the cofounder's concept to be creepy.
Others agreed and also thought it cheapened the human existence.
Some cited a Black Mirror episode titled "Be Right Back," in which a grieving woman took advantage of a service that allowed people to stay in touch with their deceased loved ones, all so she could keep talking to her late boyfriend.
Arguably, the best thing we can do to keep our loved ones with us is to keep their memory alive in the form of photographs, videos, mementos, and sharing stories. The idea of depending on a platform to anticipate what they might have said and how they might have behaved is nothing short of dystopian.
