SONG OF THE WEEK:
Converge “Hum Of Hurt”
“On Saturday, musician Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, posted a video on X showing him standing in the backyard of his Tennessee home as a military helicopter hovered for several seconds and another flew close by. “God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her,” read a post accompanying the video. He also used profanities to lambaste California Gov. Gavin Newsom in the post, which has been seen more than 10 million times. President Donald Trump was asked Tuesday afternoon about the aircrew suspensions and did not appear overly concerned. “I didn’t see it, no, but I’m sure they had a good time,” he said of the video when he was asked at an executive order signing ceremony. “They probably shouldn’t have been doing it. You’re not supposed to be playing games, right?” Trump said. “I’d take a look at it. They like Kid Rock; I like Kid Rock. Maybe they were trying to defend him, I don’t know.” The Army identified the aircraft as AH-64 Apache helicopters operating in the Nashville area and said that “appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found.” A military spokesperson said Monday that the helicopters flew from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to the Nashville area. A spokesman for the 101st Airborne Division, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, said that the flying helicopters were not related to Nashville’s “No Kings” protests over the weekend and that they were “entirely coincidental” with the demonstrations.” (NBC News)
