Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy and recent appointee to the America 250 Commission, donned a blonde wig and mocked first lady Melania Trump in an Instagram video, reading parts of her recent letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The letter, meant to stress the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on children, was hand-delivered to Putin by President Trump at their meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, Friday and posted online Saturday.
Schlossberg's video includes a photo of Mrs. Trump and her letter floated on the screen.
After reading the letter, Schlossberg asks, still in a fake accent, "What am I saying? This makes no sense." He removes the wig and calls the letter "confusing."
Schlossberg previously has made comments on social media about second lady Usha Vance, saying she is "hotter" than his late grandmother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. He also has mocked his cousin HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines.
Last week U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tapped Schlossberg to be his representative on the American 250 Commission, which is preparing for the celebration of the nation's 250th birthday, July 4, 2026.

In a scenario that could come only from the upside-down world of transgenderism, a school has suspended two boys who complained that a girl was allowed into their locker room.
That's right, a girl goes into a boys locker room, and in fact violates school rules by recording the boys complaining about her presence. So the boys get suspended.
The details are in a report at RedState.
"It's once again an election year, so let's hope voters are paying attention. Here's the deal. As RedState previously reported, Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) was weighing a Title IX investigation against three male students at Stone Bridge High School after they complained about a biological female student using the boys' locker room. Not only did the girl use a locker room that doesn't align with her biological sex, as is required by an executive order signed this year by President Trump, she also used her phone to record a video while in the boys' locker room, which is a violation of LCPS's own student privacy policy," the report explained.
The report continued, "If you're wondering what happened to the third boy, hold onto your hats: Reports indicate the Title IX investigation against him was dropped, possibly because he is Muslim. A dismissal letter sent to the boy said the complaint 'must be dismissed from the Title IX grievance process' because 'the conduct alleged would not constitute sexual harassment,' as defined by Title IX regulations, 'even if proved.'"
And the report there have been no repercussions for the girl "who violated school policy by taking a video in a protected space."
With the scheme, school officials have expressed their intention, too, to fight the president of the United States in his effort to secure student safety in schools – or see them lose federal funding.
Ian Prior, a Loudoun County resident and senior advisor at America First Legal, explained to RedState that the school is "doing its best to guarantee that the Supreme Court decisively ends these insane interpretations of Title IX and the equal protection clause."
In fact, a transgender "rights" case now is pending before the court.
Questions in the case include whether Title IX prevents a state from consistently designating girls' and boys' sports teams based on biological sex determined at birth; and whether the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment prevents a state from offering separate boys' and girls' sports teams based on biological sex determined at birth.

An increasing number of members of the U.S. military services are choosing to take a religious objection to the mandated flu shot. Many also question the likelihood of a flu pandemic at this point in history, while others claim evidence shows the flu shot is not effective.
Recent news stories of a Marine Corps officer, an Air Force major and an Army sergeant continue to document the concerns of countless service members who have taken a moral and religious objection to the mandated flu shot.
WorldNetDaily spoke to Technical Sergeant William "Tony" Oslin, whose religious convictions may cost his service in the military. Having both a father and stepfather who served in the military for 20 years each, Oslin's desire to join the military was present at an early age.
He served as an active-duty noncommissioned officer in the U.S. Air Force between 1991 and 1995. Then in 2013, he returned, joining the Air National Guard, and a few years later, began serving full-time, working in the Active Guard Reserve program as a technician.
In August 2021, his dedication to the Air Force became jeopardized over the then-mandated COVID-19 shot. Interestingly, his Religious Accommodation Request was never adjudicated, allowing him to continue to serve without being separated from the military.
During this time, Oslin's knowledge of the so-called vaccine increased. He admitted questioning the efficacy and effectiveness of the COVID-19 shot – and other vaccines, including the flu shot. But more than that, he maintained a religious objection to the shots, considering his body "a temple of the Lord." Even with this sincerely held belief, his request for a religious accommodation with regard to the flu shot was denied.
With that, Oslin said the Air Force began to "build a case that [he] was nondeployable." Although he still serves in the Air National Guard, his enlistment expires Sept. 3.
"Due to not taking the influenza immunization," he said, "they have twisted it into my not following direct orders and Air Force regulations." All the while, he noted, "I have claimed the entire time that the orders [to take the flu shot] are unlawful and discriminatory, therefore I will not … cannot follow unlawful orders."
Oslin told WND he could not recall the last time he contracted the flu. And the blatant disregard for his requested religious accommodation has left a bad taste in his mouth. Today, he is the grandfather of three, and hopes they will choose a different career path than the military.
"If I have anything to do with it," he told WND, "they will not be in the military." Why? "Because our country became the greatest country in this world because of the many who stood up for the freedoms we all enjoy, and I'm just not fully convinced the military can sustain itself following the religious purge [of those who objected to the COVID-19 mandate] and now the flu shot."
According to Oslin, "President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth are giving the illusion that they are trying to make it right," explaining that "it seems like an illusion because they're allowing others to ignore the policies they should be protecting." By disregarding service members' religious convictions, he said, the administration is ignoring their constitutionally protected religious rights.
What's more, he noted, "This is not about military readiness. Whether people get the flu, with or without a flu shot, they still get the same treatment," which boils down to rest, symptom management and possible antiviral medication. "It's not like people who took the shot don't get the flu. Even the package inserts say the flu shot might prevent the flu; it doesn't say it will prevent the flu."
"If the flu shot may or may not protect you from the flu, why is it required, especially when someone takes a legitimate religious objection to it?" Oslin asked. "It's about generals and the higher ups, to include congressmen, who have invested in the pharmaceutical industry. That's why they're pushing shots."
For those in positions of power, Oslin shares the King James Version of 2 Samuel 23:3, hoping they'll take the text to heart: "The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God."
Oslin recently joined Air Force Col. (Ret.) Rob Maness, a former bomber squadron commander, on "The Rob Maness Show" to share his story:
Technical Sergeant Oslin emphasized his views do not reflect the views of the Department of Defense or Department of the Air Force.

After a three-hour meeting with Russian President Putin in Alaska Friday, President Trump spent hours on the phone with world leaders overnight, leading to an announcement that he expects all parties in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war soon to agree to a peace agreement – skipping the usual step of a ceasefire.
In addition, Trump said he would host Ukrainian President Zelensky in the Oval Office Monday to discuss the deal. That part of the announcement reminded some of the last time the Ukrainian leader visited the White House, an acrimonious meeting that ended without any official agreement between the parties.
Trump posted Saturday morning:
"A great and very successful day in Alaska! The meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia went very well, as did a late night phone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, and various European Leaders, including the highly respected Secretary General of NATO. It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up. President Zelenskyy will be coming to D.C., the Oval Office, on Monday afternoon. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people's lives will be saved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
The announcement comes after a peculiar post-summit appearance in Anchorage, Alaska, Friday that featured an opening speech by Putin and then President Trump simply saying the parties "made some headway" toward a deal.
Said Trump, "We didn't get there but we have a very good chance of getting there."
The two leaders took no questions after the 12-minute event.
Reuters reported Saturday that during the Alaska meeting, Putin demanded that Ukraine withdraw from the eastern Donetsk region as a condition for ending Russia's war but told Trump he could freeze the rest of the frontline if his core demands were met.

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, arrived Friday afternoon in Alaska for a summit with President Donald Trump, whose goal it is to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, which Russia invaded three years ago.
And he was met immediately with a demonstration of America's firepower: A flyover by a B-2 stealth bomber and some F-35 jets.
Washington Examiner said two B-2s had been flown into Alaska just before the meeting, and did the flyover just as Trump was greeting Putin.
They are the same type of aircraft that conducted the successful strike on Iran's nuclear production facilities just months ago.
The meetings at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson were to run into the evening.
Trump has said he's ready to call for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky if things are going well.
The Examiner commented, "They are likely meant to assert U.S. dominance over Russia ahead of the summit. More bombers may be headed in the same direction, according to defense analysis site TWZ."
And Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, pointed to the presence of more than 100 fifth-generation fighter jets in his home state.
Putin's arrival put him in a Western country for the first time since he commanded the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Devarjay "DJ" Daniel, 13, is the young boy with a dream of being a police officer who stole hearts across America when, during President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress months ago, was made an honorary member of the U.S. Secret Service.
Now his father has announced his candidacy to be the U.S. representative for the 18th congressional district in Texas.
The brief time Daniel was the focal point during Trump's address highlighted the scorn with which Democrats view patriotic Americans, as the party members refused to stand in honor of the young boy, fighting to live with a terminal cancer diagnosis.
A report from the Gateway Pundit explained he was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer.
"Democrats stood stone-faced, while the ghouls refused to stand and honor a child who is fighting for his life," the report said.
Now is father, Theodis Daniel, has confirmed his campaign for Congress.
Fox Digital noted that he joins a crowded field for the seat.
"I'm a regular guy. I am not a politician. I don't have six-figure deals. I'm just a regular dude trying to make it. Single dad. I got three kids to myself. I'm a disabled veteran just trying to make a difference regardless of what I'm going through," he said.
At the time, Trump announced, "Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police. His name is DJ Daniel, he is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer. Tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service."
He now has been sworn in as an officer, honorary, at more than 1,300 law enforcement agencies.
Daniel said he'd go to Washington, if elected, take care of business and then go home.
"Sometimes, when you marinate meat, you kind of ruin it. Some people just wear out their welcome. It's like somebody coming to your house, wanting to stay for a little bit, and they stay there for two or three days," he said.
"Well, these folks got comfortable. When people get comfortable, they get lazy. When they get lazy, they get forgetful and disrespectful," Daniel added.
The district was represented in Congress for nearly three decades by Democrat radical Sheila Jackson Lee, who passed away in 2024.

As President Donald Trump prepares to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday to help broker peace in Ukraine, the commander in chief is launching into "sick and dishonest" American news media for their coverage he says is powered by "corruption."
In a scathing post on Truth Social Wednesday, Trump said: "Very unfair media is at work on my meeting with Putin."
"Constantly quoting fired losers and really dumb people like John Bolton, who just said that, even though the meeting is on American soil, 'Putin has already won.' What's that all about?"
"We are winning on EVERYTHING. The Fake News is working overtime (No tax on overtime!). If I got Moscow and Leningrad free, as part of the deal with Russia, the Fake News would say that I made a bad deal! But now they've been caught.
"Look at all of the real news that's coming out about their CORRUPTION. They are sick and dishonest people, who probably hate our Country. But it doesn't matter because we are winning on everything!!! MAGA."
John Bolton, who served as Trump's own national security adviser in his first administration, has gone on national television to throw shade on the president's upcoming summit.
"Looks like Putin's got his old magic back with Trump. His disappointment and outrage with Putin are gone," Bolton said on X.
"A Putin-Trump summit in former Russia-America, Alaska, is not quite as bad as Trump inviting the Taliban to Camp David, but certainly reminds one of that."
In a CNN interview, Bolton indicated, "The only better place for Putin than Alaska would be if the summit were being held in Moscow. So the initial setup is a great victory for Putin. He's a rogue leader of a pariah state and he's gonna be welcomed into the United States."
"Second, I have a feeling this is sliding very quickly in Russia's direction," Bolton continued.
"What's happening is that Russia and the United States are discussing what terms they're gonna present to [Ukraine President Volodymyr] Zelensky. And it may well be that Zelensky has no choice here.
"Surrendering is always one way to get a peace deal. And it seems to me, listen to Trump talking about how things are progressing, that even without the meeting, Putin's got his old magic back with Trump."
Axios reports: "Trump is expected to hold a virtual meeting Wednesday with Zelensky and a group of European leaders, two sources with knowledge of the plans tell Axios."
"Zelensky has been downplaying Russia's recent gains and working the phones to leaders in Europe and beyond to hedge against an unfavorable outcome in Alaska."

Police in the United Kingdom are so triggered by a Christian's silent prayer, they are investigating a woman for the "offense" of praying silently for a third time.
This comes after police in the West Midlands department already have had to apologize and pay Isabel Vaughan-Spruce about $17,000 for the second time they arrested her.
WorldNetDaily had reported when that compensation was paid for the officers' multiple decisions to arrest her. They also confessed to breaching her civil rights.
The case against the cops involved wrongful arrest, false imprisonment, assault and battery and breach of human rights.
"There is no place for Orwell's 'thought police' in 21st Century Britain, and thanks to legal support I received from ADF UK, I'm delighted that the settlement that I have received today acknowledges that. Yet despite this victory, I am deeply concerned that this violation could be repeated at the hands of other police forces," she said in a prepared statement when the settlement was confirmed, a few short years ago.
Vaughan-Spruce was first arrested in November 2022 for silently praying in a censored "buffer zone," a common practice also used in the United States to provide special protections for abortion businesses and deprive people of faith of their rights.
She was acquitted in February 2023, but just weeks later was arrested for the same offense again. A police officer said at that time, "You've said you're engaging in prayer, which is the offense."
She has explained, "Silent prayer is not a crime. Nobody should be arrested merely for the thoughts they have in their heads – yet this happened to me twice at the hands of the West Midlands Police, who explicitly told me that 'prayer is an offense.'"
Now a from the U.K. Right to Life said she's under investigation yet again.
Right to Life said now West Midlands police are asking prosecutors if there is enough evidence to charge the pro-life volunteer.
Vaughan-Spruce called the police agenda "unbelievable."
"I am still being harassed by police for silently praying in that area, and yet again find myself under investigation for the same prayers I have said for twenty years," she said.
March For Life U.K. noted of the West Midlands department, "What's the apology and settlement for if the harassment by police still continues? [Pro-lifers] shouldn't be treated as criminals for simply being on a public street."
Jeremiah Igunnubole, legal counsel for ADF U.K., which is supporting Vaughan-Spruce, said the buffer zones around abortion industry businesses are "among the most concerning frontiers of censorship in the modern West."
"We all stand against harassment and abuse, but the 'buffer zone' law broadly bans 'influence', which is being interpreted by police officers to target innocent people who happen to stand in a certain place and believe a certain thing."
Other egregious circumstance have developed in the same fight, as a priest was charged for breaching an abortion business buffer zone because he had an "Unborn Lives Matter" sticker on his car.
Polls show vast majorities believe is ridiculous to try to control people's thoughts, and spokesperson for Right To Life U.K. Catherine Robinson said, "The latest investigation into Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, who has at no point intimidated or harassed anyone, is unacceptable and highlights the confusion surrounding the buffer zone legislation. The police are using this dangerous law to target innocent people for simply holding private pro-life thoughts in their minds."

An MSNBC contributor was said to be "on the verge of having a meltdown" Monday immediately after President Donald Trump announced the National Guard would be deployed to end high crime in Washington, D.C.
Appearing on "Chris Jansing Reports," contributor Eddie Glaude reacted to Trump's plan, saying: "Chris, to be honest with you, I'm trying to hold my temper. I think there's an ongoing argument that he's having in his head with Black Lives Matter.
"There's an ongoing argument that he's having with the questions around criminal justice reform and police reform.
"It's interesting that he really doesn't really care about what's actually happening in D.C. on a certain level, because he's not trying to get at the underlying root causes. He's not looking at examples of how to address rising crime rates that doesn't require a form of policing that leads to increased incarcera[tion]."
"We have to understand this, Chris, in the context of Donald Trump's racial politics and in the context of his effort to get [Jeffrey] Epstein off the front pages."
"He's actually trying to give his base red meat to get them off of the Epstein story and it's on the backs of citizens in Washington, D.C."
Trump also announced U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi would oversee the federal takeover of the district's Metropolitan Police Department, or MPD.
The MPD tracker indicates violent crime has fallen in D.C. 26% compared to last year, but there have been 99 homicides so far in 2025.
Reaction online to Claude's analysis includes:
"MSNBC logic: Crime is fine. Violence is fine. Chaos is fine. But cleaning it up? 'Racist, politically motivated, and suspicious.' You'd think they want D.C. to stay ungovernable … almost like it's part of the business model."
"Clean up the capital, clean up the crime, help the police get this district back, the streets back! People from all over the country, and world come to our capital. MSNBC this reaction is bizarre."
"I find it interesting that Glaude immediately made it about race. I don't remember Trump saying anything about race. He didn't say they were going to go after black criminals in D.C. He just said criminals. I guess Glaude knows what we all do about crime in D.C. & that's why he's so butthurt. We are going to hold every criminal accountable. Even black criminals."

Water in the historic Sea of Galilee has turned blood-red recently, leading some to see it as a sign of the coming Apocalypse or another biblical omen.
As Gateway Pundit reports, after images and video of the anomaly were seen online, scientists offered an explanation.
According to Israel's environment ministry, the dramatic shift in color was the result of a bloom of green algae that releases red pigments when exposed to strong sunlight. There are no health issues, and authorities say the water is safe for swimming.
"No allergic reactions have been reported in areas where the algae has previously appeared," the the Kinneret Research Laboratory said in a statement.
