AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - White House invoked a decades-old, unsubstantiated rumor to dismiss Richard Gere — and revived a story that says more about America than about the actor
When Richard Gere publicly criticized President Trump's USAID cuts, the White House communications director responded not with a policy defense but by recycling a baseless urban legend that has followed the actor for more than 35 years. On July 21, White House communications director Steven Cheung posted on X: "Not going to listen to a […] The post White House invoked a decades-old, unsubstantiated rumor to dismiss Richard Gere — and revived a story that says more about America than about the actor appeared first on American Almanac .
When Richard Gere publicly criticized President Trump's USAID cuts, the White House communications director responded not with a policy defense but by recycling a baseless urban legend that has followed the actor for more than 35 years. On July 21, White House communications director Steven Cheung posted on X: "Not going to listen to a guy who may have put a gerbil up his a**." The post came after Gere, 77, criticized what he called Trump's "ignorance" regarding cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development at an event promoting an educational partnership on migration. Gere also remarked, "He has idiots around him." Cheung's response did not address USAID, migration policy, or any of Gere's specific claims. Instead, it reached…Open

A senior at a small upstate New York school earned an in-school suspension on her very first day back for carrying a cup of coffee, and her challenge to the rule exposed a transparency failure the district now admits it needs to fix. Julie Kaputa showed up to Beaver River Central School in Beaver Falls, New York, on September 3 ready to start her senior year. She brought coffee. A staff member told her to finish it or throw it out. Kaputa refused and walked to the main office instead. The school handed her an in-school suspension for violating a brand-new policy banning outside food and drinks. It was the first day the rule existed in practice, and Kaputa was already on the wrong side of it. But what happened next turned a minor…Open

A Czech libertarian politician claims more than 800,000 people have applied to become citizens of a blockchain-based microstate he founded on a muddy, disputed island between Serbia and Croatia, and no recognized government on earth acknowledges it exists.

A Czech libertarian politician claims more than 800,000 people have applied to become citizens of a blockchain-based microstate he founded on a muddy, disputed island between Serbia and Croatia, and no recognized government on earth acknowledges it exists. The self-proclaimed Free Republic of Liberland sits on Gornja Siga, a seven-square-kilometre patch of heavily forested floodplain along the Danube River, roughly the size of Gibraltar. Vít Jedlička, who styles himself president, claimed the territory in 2015 under the legal principle of "terra nullius," arguing that neither Croatia nor Serbia had formally asserted sovereignty over the land after the Balkan wars of the 1990s left the border in dispute. A settlement on the island became…Open

Uganda reversed its pullout from Prince Harry's Invictus Games after King Charles III's top aide telephoned the country's military chief, a swift diplomatic fix that exposed how far the Sussex brand has drifted from the Crown.
