Liberals blame Trump for Netflix canceling pro-LGBTQ military series
A series about a closeted gay soldier in the military during the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” era of the 1990s has been canceled by Netflix after being previously criticized by the Pentagon.
“Boots” was about a gay Louisiana teen named Cameron Cope who “finds new purpose — and unexpected brotherhood — with his motley team of fellow recruits,” as described by Netflix.
‘It’s clear #BOOTS is getting canned so Netflix doesn’t offend the big nasty b***h living in the White House.’
The series lasted only one season and had been lambasted by officials of the Trump administration in a statement to Entertainment Weekly in October.
“Under President Trump and Secretary [Pete] Hegseth, the U.S. military is getting back to restoring the warrior ethos. Our standards across the board are elite, uniform, and sex-neutral because the weight of a rucksack or a human being doesn’t care if you’re a man, a woman, gay, or straight,” said Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson.
“[The military] will not compromise our standards to satisfy an ideological agenda, unlike Netflix whose leadership consistently produces and feeds woke garbage to their audience and children,” Wilson added.
Many online blamed President Donald Trump for the cancellation.
“Boots was critically and commercially successful, but because the President and his Secretary of Defense are such man baby snowflakes who are mad gay service men are more manly than they’ll ever be Netflix cancelled the show so they could get the WB merger to go through,” said one person on the X platform.
“It’s clear #BOOTS is getting canned so Netflix doesn’t offend the big nasty bitch living in the White House, which might make him get in the way of their Warner Bros purchase. We are truly living in an era of censorship and spineless bootlicking,” another detractor said.

“Netflix has cancelled their show Boots after 1 season. … Despite a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes & making it to #2 on Netflix, they’d rather lick Trump’s balls to get their merger approved,” another message reads.
The series is based on the memoir titled “The Pink Marine” by Greg Cope White. The show was highly rated on Rotten Tomatoes, with 90% approval and a 7.9 rating on IMDB.

Dan Bongino’s FBI exit fuels questions as marriage strain takes center stage
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has announced that he’s stepping down from the FBI, and the rumor mill is now swirling as to why he decided he was no longer right for the job.
“When I woke up this morning, I saw a Daily Mail article that said, ‘Dan Bongino set to quit the Trump administration after FBI job put strain on his marriage,’” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales recalls, “and that was the only thing. It was, like, it was just a rumor, right?”
“It also said Bongino’s reported intention to step down just comes two days before the deadline to release the Epstein files on Friday, which I found interesting. But we did know, I mean, there were some signs of this,” she continues.
In an interview on “Fox and Friends” months ago, Bongino did mention that he was struggling with the distance his new job put between him and his wife.
“I gave up everything for this. I mean, you know, my wife is struggling, and I’m not a victim. I’m not Jim Comey, it’s fine. I did this, and I’m proud I did it. But if you think we’re there for tea and crumpets …” Bongino said.
“I stare at these four walls all day in D.C., you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated, divorced. And it’s hard. I mean, you know, we love each other, and it’s hard to be apart,” he added.
President Trump echoed this sentiment when he commented on Bongino’s departure, saying, “Dan did a great job. I think he wants to go back to his show.”
“I think he wants to go back to podcasting,” Gonzales repeats. “I am rendered speechless. One of the only moments in my life.”
“He’s done so much for the country,” she says. “And, by the way, I appreciate the sacrifice that he mentioned, but it’s like, yeah, we know. Can you stop complaining? Do your job.”
“This is my take on it,” BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden chimes in. “Dan is a patriot. We all knew when he gave up his show that he was sacrificing millions of dollars for the country.”
“It’s not like he’s someone that came out of something completely different to go into the FBI. He knows the job. He knows the job. So, he knew what the strain would be on his marriage. And I’m not saying that it’s not having a strain on his marriage, but what I will say is, those difficulties are worth it if you are seeing a change and if you are seeing results,” he continues.
Gonzales points out that through his social media posts, Bongino often alluded to uncovering major details regarding the Epstein case — which she believes may have led to him being frustrated that he couldn’t share them later.
“He’s leaving all of these nuggets to make it sound like, ‘Oh, we are uncovering all sorts of crazy things. I can’t wait to share it with you.’ And then we never quite got the other part of that, right? We never were told really what it is,” Gonzales says. “And so, you have to wonder, like, okay, he must be very frustrated.”

Trump announces ‘Patriot Games’ high school athletic competition for 250th anniversary of founding
President Donald Trump said the 250th anniversary celebration of the U.S. founding will include “Patriot Games” between high school athletes.
The president made the announcement in a video posted to social media on Thursday that also listed several other events and structures planned for the national celebration.
‘Frankly, you’ll never see anything like it.’
“In the fall, we will host the first-ever Patriot Games, an unprecedented four-day athletic event featuring the greatest high school athletes,” Trump said.
“One young man and one young woman from each state and territory, but I promise, there will be no men playing in women’s sports,” he added. “You’re not going to see that. You’ll see everything but that.”
He said that construction would begin on the “National Garden of American Heroes” that would include “statues of all-time greatest Americans,” as well as a “triumphal” arch.
“We are the only major city, we are the only major capitol, we are the only major place without a triumphal arch, a beautiful triumphal arch, one like in Paris, where they have the great and beautiful arch — they call it the Arc de Triomphe,” he added. “And we’re gonna have one in Washington, D.C., very soon.”
The administration is also organizing a “Great American State Fair” that will include exhibits from each of the states on the National Mall. That event will run from June 25 until July 10.
“Frankly, you’ll never see anything like it, and you’ll never see anything like it again,” he added.
A new public-private partnership called Freedom 250 was formed for the purpose of planning and funding the events, and it includes companies and corporations across the country.

“This will be a time like you’ve never had in your lives!” he concluded. “America 250! Thank you! I love you all.”
Critics of the Patriot Games mocked the idea as being far too similar to the “Hunger Games” books and movies series.
