OJ Simpson case detective Mark Fuhrman dies.
Former LAPD detective, Mark Fuhrman who discovered the bloody glove in the O.J. Simpson murder case and later torpedoed the prosecution with his use of the n-word, is dead ... TMZ has learned.
Sources tell TMZ ... Mark died from an aggressive form of throat cancer, which he was diagnosed with last year. Mark had been hospitalized for about a week before he died. He had done some cancer treatment ... but made the final decision to stop. There won't be a funeral.
He retired from LAPD way back in August 1995 and started writing true crime books. He became a TV and radio personality and even worked as an expert for Fox News.
A year after retiring, Mark pleaded no contest in 1996 to a felony count of perjury for lying about using a racial slur when he testified during O.J.'s trial.
With Mark as the cop who found the bloody glove, O.J.'s legal team called out Mark's credibility by resurfacing old tapes of the detective using racist language ... ultimately suggesting he might have planted the evidence.

MAGA melts down after fake Republican congressman dupes them
A social media post from a “California congressman” had diehard MAGA figures foaming at the mouth Saturday as they demanded he resign, only to learn hours later that he was not a real person.
“Rep. Jack Kimble” had sent Donald Trump supporters into a tailspin with an X post lamenting that he earns less than $200,000 a year despite “working nearly 140 days,” threatening to leave Congress if he isn’t “properly compensated” or allowed to trade stocks.
A MAGA congressional candidate was among those to fall for the ruse.
“WOW. A Californian congressman really said this. As if to justify their rampant personal corruption,” Marcie Everhart fumed in a since-deleted post.
MAGA megaphone Gunther Eagleman reposted one of Kimble’s posts with the caption “Jack should resign.” He later deleted it.
As Kimble’s post started to go viral, a community note was finally added clarifying that there is no 54th congressional district in California and no such congressman.
After the dust settled, Kimble issued another satirical post to apologize for the initial message that prompted an uproar. “Evidently, when I was enjoying the weekend, my staffers went a little crazy. I told them to echo Mike Johnson, but this is tone deaf entitled stuff and there’s no excuse for it,” he wrote.
Separately, he said the controversial Johnson video was just a “deep fake” that had made all lawmakers “look bad,” adding: “I hope Kash Patel will investigate and hold them accountable.”

U.S. Reaches Trade Deal With Pedotopia
WASHINGTON—In a major new agreement expected to provide the United States with unprecedented market access to the island nation, President Donald Trump announced Friday that he had finalized a long-anticipated trade deal with Pedotopia.
Despite years of tension between the two leaders, Trump smiled and gave a thumbs-up as he shook hands with Prime Minister Felix Orwick of Pedotopia, lauding the “special relationship” he shared with his mustachioed counterpart. The pact follows months of heated negotiations that reportedly made use of a diplomatic back channel with Pedotopia maintained by American casting directors, superyacht owners, youth ministers, and scoutmasters.
“Today I’m proud to announce another great trade deal for the American people, perhaps the greatest deal in our nation’s history,” Trump said of the accord, which requires Pedotopia to purchase two dozen F-35 fighter jets, 3 million tons of American soybeans, and 100,000 U.S.-born preteens over the next decade. “My administration was able to find a lot of common ground with Pedotopia. Other presidents have tried, but this is the first time anyone has succeeded.”
“We look forward to having Pedotopia as a partner—it’s a wonderful country,” Trump continued. “They say it has some of the most gorgeous Catholic cathedrals in the world. And the children there are beautiful, just beautiful.”

Can't argue with that, Mr. Blue
https://twitter.com/djmth1010/status/2040439198096806141Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked the highest-ranking US Army officer to resign amid the Iran war.
Hegseth asked General Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, sources told CBS News.
A Pentagon official said: 'We are grateful for his service, but it was time for a leadership change in the Army.'
George, a Biden appointee, is understood to have clashed with the administration's vision for the Army.
Vice Chief of Staff General Christopher LaNeve, a former aide to Hegseth, is likely to be considered as his replacement.
Hegseth's decision comes as 50,000 US troops are deployed in the Middle East ahead of a possible ground invasion in Iran.
As a four-star General and the 41st Chief of Staff, George is the senior-most uniformed officer in the Army, responsible for the organization, training, and equipping of more than one million soldiers.
George reports to General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, the civilian head of the branch; and Hegseth.
