In a heated response on Saturday, former President Donald Trump criticized a federal judge who ordered the removal of his name from the “Trump Kennedy Center.” This decision came after it was revealed that the judge’s wife serves as the personal lawyer for President Joe Biden.

Trump launched into a detailed critique on his social media platform, Truth Social, following the ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper, an appointee of former President Barack Obama. Judge Cooper stated that, since Congress originally designated the Kennedy Center’s name, only Congress has the authority to alter it. The administration was given a two-week deadline to remove Trump’s name from the building’s exterior.

Expressing his discontent, Trump wrote, “Can you imagine? A judge appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, Christopher Cooper, has interrupted the grand renovation of The Trump Kennedy Center. This project involved ordering millions of dollars’ worth of materials, including marble, furniture, steel, and HVAC systems, intending to transform a deteriorating structure into one of the finest globally.”

The judge further ruled that the administration should halt plans to close the Kennedy Center for a two-year period. However, he noted that closure could proceed if the board convened and reviewed the necessary evidence.

Trump defended the proposed closure, deeming it “necessary” due to the building’s deteriorating marble condition.

He called Cooper a “Trump Hating Judge” and a “Radical Left Democrat,” and labeled his wife, Amy Jeffress, an “anti Trump Hater” who is “currently representing Sleepy Joe Biden on the release of his audio tapes.”

That was a reference to former President Biden’s legal effort to compel the government to hold back tapes of his infamous deposition during former special counsel Robert Hur’s classified documents probe.

Jeffress also worked for the House Jan. 6 committee, and represented fired FBI employee Lisa Page,. Trump on Saturday called Page, a former FBI lawyer, a “Dirty Cop.”

And he accused Jeffress and Cooper of having a conflict of interest.

The Daily Caller reported on the judge’s marriage following the ruling Friday, after Politico flagged her work for Biden back in July.

The Kennedy Center said it would fight the ruling.

Trump also suggested he is considering a permanent closure to the arts center designated as a “living memorial” to JFK.

Residents of Boston were left shaken after a powerful boom reverberated through their homes on Saturday, leading to an ongoing investigation by the police into this unsettling event.

The sudden “loud bang,” which occurred around 2 p.m., caused alarm as it rattled buildings and prompted many concerned locals to dial 911. It also spurred a flurry of activity on social media platform X, where people shared their experiences and sought answers.

Authorities are still trying to pinpoint the source of the noise, with initial indications suggesting it might have originated from the Brighton area. A representative from the Boston Police Department shared these details with the Daily Mail.

“I don’t know what it is,” the spokesman remarked, noting the deluge of calls received from anxious residents.

“It’s kind of bizarre,” he added, encapsulating the unusual nature of the incident.

Officers have been dispatched to the Brighton area, and an active investigation is ongoing, police told the Daily Mail. 

Currently, authorities do not believe there is any active threat to civilians. 

An Iowa meteorologist, Nick Stewart, has speculated that the boom could have been a meteor entering the atmosphere, as NOAA’s geostationary lightning mapper indicated a flash at the exact time of the loud noise. 

Boston residents have been left petrified after their homes rattled after a loud, mysterious boom, as police are probing the ‘bizarre’ incident after an influx in 911 calls 

NOAA satellites showed a large flash over Boston around 2pm 

‘The flash density product really shows this anomalous “flash” which is pretty distinctive of a bolide/meteor reentry,’ Stewart wrote on X. 

‘This is the likely source of the loud boom/explosion.’ 

Although Boston is currently getting rain, Stewart said the flash ‘does not correlate with active thunderstorms.’ 

The Boston Globe’s meteorologist, Ken Mahan, said it was an apparent meteor that was ‘essentially a fireball,’ he told the outlet. 

‘These are large and often spark a sonic boom when passing through the atmosphere with speeds faster than the sound barrier and air compressing ahead of the meteor as it races through, generating a massive pressure wave,’ he said.

‘The average size bolide meteor sits at one to two meters.’  

Police have not confirmed if the loud sound was caused by a meteor, telling the Daily Mail at 3.30pm that it is ‘still undetermined on our end.’ 

Police are aware of the meteor speculations. The Daily Mail has contacted NOAA for comment. 

Dashcam footage posted to social media picked up on the loud sound that frightened residents

Many social media users said it sounded like an ‘explosion.’ However, no smoke or fires have been detected. 

Dashcam footage posted to social media picked up on the loud sound that frightened residents. 

‘My cat and I both jumped up! Scared the bejeezus outa both of us!!’ a Facebook user said. ‘I thought a tree fell on my house, but I went outside and didn’t see anything.’ 

‘I assumed it was thunder, but now I wonder,’ another wrote. 

‘I thought my house was exploding. I ran outside,’ a third wrote. 

Since the boom, there’s been a surge in search activity as resident try to pinpoint what caused the mysterious noise. 

Several police departments have put out statements that they are aware of the boom, but unsure of its origins. 

‘We are getting numerous reports from residents of hearing a loud boom sound. It was heard over the eastern part of the state. Unknown origin no reports of hazards at this time,’ Watertown Police wrote. 

‘The Boom: No reports of any damage or local incident as of yet. Earth Quake maybe,’ police in Coventry, Rhode Island, said. 

HILLSVILLE, Va. (AP) — A tragic incident unfolded in Virginia on Friday when a sheriff’s deputy lost his life following an encounter during a welfare check, as reported by law enforcement officials. Authorities are actively searching for the suspect involved.

According to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, the shooting took place after they were contacted by a family member requesting a welfare check on a household.

Upon arrival, a man inside the residence opened fire on the deputies, prompting them to return fire, the sheriff’s office reported. Unfortunately, both deputies were struck by gunfire.

“One deputy succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The other deputy was hit but protected by his ballistic vest and is currently receiving medical care, with his condition described as stable,” stated the sheriff’s office.

Sheriff Kevin A. Kemp identified the fallen officer as Deputy Logan Utt, a military veteran who had joined the department earlier in 2023.

“Today, Carroll County has lost a hero, and a family has suffered an unimaginable loss,” Kemp said. “Please keep his wife, children, family, friends, and fellow deputies in your thoughts and prayers.”

Authorities were searching for the suspect, identified by the U.S. Marshals Office as Michael Timothy Puckett, 55. Law enforcement officials said he should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.

“My office is closely monitoring this tragic incident,” Gov. Abigail Spanberger said on social media. “I encourage anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts to contact Virginia State Police. My thoughts are with the deputy’s family and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office as we work through this awful situation.”
