President Donald Trump praised the American Eagle advertisement campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, stating she is a registered Republican and calling the ad "the HOTTEST ad out there" in a Truth Social post Monday. He highlighted other figures and brands he associates with "woke" messaging, including pop singer Taylor Swift, and Jaguar and Bud Light, claiming their ad campaigns were disastrous and led to massive financial losses.

The American Eagle ad, launched July 23, features Sweeney in a denim campaign with the tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” playing on the homophone “jeans” and “genes.” In the ad, Sweeney says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue,” as the camera highlights her blue eyes.

The ad’s controversy led to a 20%+ surge in American Eagle’s stock, reversing a prior slump, with shares up 17-23% by mid-afternoon. American Eagle defended the campaign, stating on Instagram, “‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story.” Sweeney has not publicly commented on the backlash or her voter registration.

The ad sparked 'woke' far-left hysteria, with some critics alleging the ad promotes eugenics or white supremacist undertones due to its focus on Sweeney’s blonde hair and blue eyes, while supporters, including Trump, celebrated it as a pushback against “woke” culture which promotes abortion, ugly and fat women.

Supporters like Vice President JD Vance and Senator Ted Cruz mocked critics, with Vance joking on the Ruthless podcast, “My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi.” The campaign’s viral nature boosted American Eagle’s visibility, with Google Trends showing peak search interest in over 20 years, though its impact on sales remains unclear pending upcoming earnings reports.

Trump’s endorsement came after reports, that Sweeney registered as a Republican in Monroe County, Florida, in June 2024, around the time she purchased a $13.5 million home in the Florida Keys. He expressed delight upon learning this, saying on Sunday, to reporters in Pennsylvania, “She’s a registered Republican? Oh, now I love her ad… You’d be surprised how many people are Republicans.”

The President used the ad's success to argue against what he described as "woke" corporate messaging, contrasting it with the perceived failures of other brands. He criticized Jaguar for a "stupid, and seriously WOKE advertisement" from 2024, which he claimed led to the resignation of its CEO, Adrian Mardell, and caused "absolute turmoil" within the company He also referenced Bud Light's 2023 partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, asserting that the campaign "went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the Company," resulting in "BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST"

"Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying of the shelves.' Go get ‘em Sydney! On the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a stupid, and seriously WOKE advertisement, THAT IS A TOTAL DISASTER! The CEO just resigned in disgrace, and the company is in absolute turmoil. Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that disgraceful ad. Shouldn’t they have learned a lesson from Bud Lite, which went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the Company. The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST. Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can’t stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT. The tide has seriously turned — Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Swift was booed at the Super Bowl last year while attending the game to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce against the Eagles. Some fans booed when she was shown on the Jumbotron, while Trump who also attended was met with a roaring applause.

 

 
Dunkin' Donuts Ad Controversy

Meanwhile Dunkin’ Donuts is also facing 'woke' far-left backlash for a new advertisement featuring actor Gavin Casalegno, which has reignited a cultural debate following the controversy surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad.

The ad, released on July 29, sparked criticism for its use of the term "genetics" in reference to Casalegno’s tan, drawing immediate comparisons to the previous controversy and leading to accusations of promoting racial or eugenic ideals.

The 35-second commercial promotes the chain’s Golden Hour Refresher drink and features Casalegno, known for his role in "The Summer I Turned Pretty," attributing his "golden" tan to his "genetics" and jokingly calling himself the "King of Summer."  The ad has been widely criticized by far-leftists on social media platforms like TikTok and X. Critics have linked the ad’s language to the ongoing debate over the American Eagle campaign, with some accusing Dunkin’ of capitalizing on the controversy.

Ex-FBI Director James Comey Indicted By Grand Jury For Obstruction Of Justice Lying To Congress

A federal grand jury on Thursday,  in Northern Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two felony counts: one for making false statements to Congress and one for obstruction of justice. Each charge carries a potential penalty of up to 5–10 years in prison.

These charges arise from Comey's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020, during which prosecutors allege he provided misleading information about his handling of the FBI's investigation into contacts between Russia and Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

The indictment was unsealed late Thursday, marking a significant escalation in the long-simmering feud between Comey and President Trump, who was re-elected in 2024. The trial date has not been set, but it could extend into 2026.

Comey served as FBI Director from 2013 until his abrupt firing by Trump in May 2017, amid the early stages of the Russia investigation. Trump has long accused Comey of orchestrating a "witch hunt" against him, blaming the former director for the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose probe dominated much of Trump's first term.

The charges stem from Comey's 2020 congressional testimony, where he reportedly downplayed the extent of his communications with Trump regarding the Russia probe and his role in leaking memos about those interactions.

The case gained momentum earlier this year when the Secret Service interrogated Comey over a social media post showing seashells arranged as "86 47"—a reference interpreted by Trump allies as a coded assassination threat against the president (the 47th). Comey deleted the post, calling it a "restaurant-themed joke" about removing Trump from office.

Responding in a video message, Comey declared: "I'm not afraid.. I'm innocent. Let's have a trial."

President Trump celebrated the indictment on social media, posting: "Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts. He has been so bad for our Country, for so many years... One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to." Supporters echoed this sentiment, with conservative commentator Jesse Kelly warning that the trial's location—potentially in Washington, D.C.—could lead to an acquittal due to liberal bias of the jury pool.

'I Control Donald Trump:' Netanyahu Brags To World Leaders -Tucker Carlson

Popular American commentator, journalist and conservative firebrand Tucker Carlson has publicly accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of boasting to foreign leaders that he controls both President Donald Trump and U.S. foreign policy, calling the situation "humiliating" for America.

The Tucker Carlson Show host made these remarks during a recent appearance on the System Update podcast hosted by Glenn Greenwald, where he also criticized U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza and argued that American leaders are being forced into actions detrimental to the nation's interests.

Carlson stated he has direct knowledge of Netanyahu's claims based on conversations with people who heard him say it, asserting that the Israeli leader is "running around" the Middle East and telling people point blank, "I control the United States. I control Donald Trump."

The conservative firebrand emphasized that his criticism is directed at U.S. leaders who, in his view, are allowing the country to be subjected to a "humiliation ritual" due to foreign influence, arguing that this undermines the fundamental relationship between citizens and their government.

Carlson described Israel's military actions in Gaza as an "expansion" and dismissed accusations of bigotry against him, stating he is not hurt by such labels because he knows he is not a bigot.

The conservative commentator has faced backlash from Jewish Zionists, for his remarks at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, where he recounted a story likening Kirk’s murder to the crucifixion of Jesus, including a scene of men in a lamplit room eating hummus plotting to kill Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthews 26: 1-5).

Critics, including Jewish groups and Israeli officials, have condemned the speech as an antisemitic dogwhistle, arguing that the reference to hummus—a modern Middle Eastern food—was a deliberate and offensive trope implying Jewish involvement in Kirk’s assassination.

Carlson defended his remarks in the System Update podcast interview., pointing out that he categorically and publicly makes his views about Israel and Netanyahu known, and doesn't need to imply it in a speech about Kirk.

While prominent Zionist and Jewish neoconservative voices criticized the speech, many MAGA-aligned conservative movement’s figures, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and former Congressman and OANN host Matt Gaetz praised Carlson's speech.

The controversy underscores the growing concern on the American right over Israeli influence on U.S. foreign policy especially in the Middle East. Growing number of conservatives -- traditionally allied with the Israeli right -- have started in recent years, started questioning the policies of Netanyahu's government in the region since the break out of the ongoing genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza. "It is America First, not Israel First," is a common meme on social media among right-leaning critics of Trump's bizarrely submissive pro-Israel policies.

KA-03: ULA Atlas V Launches 27 Amazon Project Kuiper Internet Satellites

A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 551 rocket successfully launched 27 Project Kuiper broadband satellites into low Earth orbit on Thursday, Sept, 25, at 1209 UTC from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The Atlas V 551 rocket, featuring five GEM 63 solid rocket boosters and a single RL10C-1-1 engine on its Centaur upper stage, lifted off on schedule. The launch window was 29 minutes long, and favorable weather conditions, with a 95% chance of acceptable conditions, were confirmed by the U.S. Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron.

The payload fairing, a 23-meter composite shroud, was jettisoned after ascent through the atmosphere. The Centaur upper stage's main engine cutoff (MECO) was confirmed, and the 27 satellites were successfully deployed at an initial altitude of 450 kilometers(km).

The satellites will now be gradually raised to their operational orbit of 630 km by Amazon's mission operations center in Redmond, Washington.

The Kuiper 3 (or KA-03) mission marks the fifth launch for Amazon's Project Kuiper constellation and the third batch of satellites delivered by ULA on the Atlas V rocket. The launch was part of a morning doubleheader, following a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch carrying 28 Starlink satellites just hours earlier.

This launch is the third of nine planned Atlas V missions for Amazon's Project Kuiper constellation, with the remaining five scheduled before transitioning to the next-generation Vulcan rocket.

ULA is delivering more than half of the constellation's 3,200 satellites under the world's largest commercial launch agreement. These spacecraft will be lofted on more than 80 launches performed by a variety of rockets — SpaceX's Falcon 9, Arianespace's Ariane 6, Blue Origin's New Glenn and ULA's Atlas V and Vulcan Centaur.

Thursday's successful launch brings Amazon's total number of in-orbit Project Kuiper satellites to 129. Project Kuiper faces competition from SpaceX's Starlink, which operates the world's largest satellite constellation with over 8,000 satellites as of September 2025.
