That poor guy.
I only noted that it wasn’t Jerldo because it would have been nice to know that had happened to him, at least for me because I grew to despise him when I used to watch him on with Bongino. Yes, still pretty funny. It does not, however, appear to be fake.
Battery on John Stossel
Schultz had a notorious encounter on December 28, 1984, with 20/20 reporter John Stossel while Stossel was backstage at Madison Square Garden doing a story about professional wrestling’s secrets.[11] During an interview Stossel told Schultz that he thought pro wrestling was fake and Schultz’s response was to hit Stossel in the head twice, knocking him to the floor each time.[4] The attack, which attracted a large amount of media coverage, was later aired on national television including ABC News which reported that the network had received more than 1,000 calls from viewers inquiring about Stossel’s health.[11]
Marvin Kohn, a deputy commissioner at the New York State Athletic Commission, had been present at the arena during the incident and immediately suspended Schultz for his actions.[11] Although called by Commissioner Jose Torres to attend a hearing before the commission, Kohn later reported that Schultz had written a letter to the commission admitting “that he had acted improperly and apologized both to the commission and to Mr. Stossel” and further stated “I admit the allegations ... I intend the commission to know that I did not intend to hurt John Stossel. I apologize to the commission and to John Stossel.”[11]
Stossel stated that he suffered from pain and buzzing in his ears eight weeks after the assault.[11] Stossel later claimed he was unaware of Schultz’s apology and would pursue his action in court although commented he would be “less likely to sue” if the after-effects of his injury disappeared.[11] Stossel eventually filed a lawsuit against the World Wrestling Federation, and settled out of court for $280,000.[12] In his book, Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity, Stossel writes that he has come to regret filing charges, having adopted the belief that lawsuits harm hundreds of innocent people.[12][13]
Although Schultz has consistently maintained that World Wrestling Federation officials told him to hit Stossel (specifically, he insists that Vince McMahon himself said, “Blast him (Stossel), tear his ass up, stay in character — ‘Doctor D’...”), Schultz ultimately was fired. Many industry insiders believe that it was not because of his actions against Stossel, but rather because he challenged Mr. T to a fight backstage at a WWF show at Madison Square Garden.[14]

A long-time liberal friend told me tonight that she’s “going MAGA.” I laughed and thought she was kidding. She wasn’t. She proceeded to tell me that while visiting a cosmetics store last week, she saw two trans men trying on makeup. She said, “I can take it anymore. The country is going to hell. We have to stop this. I’m going MAGA.”
Yes. We are having a nice time. BBL
Good morning, lysie!
Thanks for the yummy breakfast.
Hope you are having a wonderful, relaxing, enjoyable time at camp.
I saw on GETTR that a guy who was ordered by his home owner’s group to take down his flag took brilliant action - he painted his whole 2 story house in bright red, white and blue with one upper section being the corner of the flag, and lots of red and white stripes. It was priceless!
I laughed at this.

Yes, that top house is the one I saw. Love it. I’m just wondering if they’ll be ordered to paint over. You know, order from the F### the Fourth Brigade. Their hate for the country is truly being exposed like never before.
DON’T MESS WITH MELANIA!!
She looks absolutely as beautiful, as ever.
Glad RPOTUS is getting in some Bedminster golf.
We watched an OVER one hour fireworks display, last night. Just spectacular.
Hundreds of boats surrounded the area, many with YUGE American flags flying. Really a pretty sight to see.
Patriotism is alive and well, in Texas.
Good sign!
🤣😂🤣😂
Sounds great. We’re going to a patriotic concert then fireworks this evening.
