Jennifer Fasulo, a teacher at Charles W. Baker High School in Baldwinsville, New York, began paid administrative leave on January 30, 2026, as the district reviews an unspecified matter.

Critics, including a parent, claim the leave stems from Fasulo questioning her bisexual daughter's role in the Christian group Youth Alive and suggesting a Bible discussion, which led to the student's resignation and a report to the principal.

The February 20 piece highlights Fishback, a 31-year-old CEO and fourth-generation Floridian running to replace term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis. He pushes populist fixes like paid maternity leave, $10,000 homebuyer grants, housing investor bans, and cuts to rent, insurance, and tolls—framing homeownership as key to marriage and kids. Though he trails badly in polls and fundraising behind Trump-endorsed Byron Donalds, the profile spotlights his Gen Z style amid a crowded August primary, even as past controversies and online mockery linger.

Key Takeaway

James Fishback joked he's just like progressive Zohran Mamdani: two good-looking guys in their thirties. The Spectator profile casts the longshot Republican as Florida's right-wing answer to the NYC mayor.

In a widely shared video clip from February 17, former CIA officer John Kiriakou recounted retired Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor's view that Iran's domestically developed hypersonic missiles, aided by China and Russia, could sink carriers carrying thousands of sailors. He overstated the crew size at 25,000, while Navy specs confirm about 5,000 to 6,000 on Nimitz-class ships. Experts counter that carriers operate in strike groups with Aegis-equipped destroyers, SM-6 missiles, and layered defenses proven against high-speed threats, though debates persist amid U.S.-Iran tensions.

Key Takeaway

John Kiriakou shared a striking conversation with Colonel Douglas Macgregor: U.S. aircraft carriers have no defense against Iran's hypersonic missiles.
