The confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump’s Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon on Thursday was interrupted several times by raging protesters who screamed about transgenderism and other left-wing causes. A person familiar with the situation told the Hill the interruptions were from people affiliated with the National Education Association (NEA), which is the largest teachers’ union in the country. The NEA is staunchly opposed to school choice, and the organization has a history of funneling millions of dollars into far-left politics.

During a recent interview with MSNBC, Ventura reminds the world that Hulk Hogan had ratted him out to McMahon when trying to form a wrestler’s union, which led to his eventual firing.

The XFL League will be "family friendly" and require ALL players to stand for the National Anthem or be thrown out. I am excited about this, and definetly will be an XFL fan.

This. Is. The. XFL! Again? It's starting to look like Vince McMahon is going to attempt to revive his radical football league and NFL rival — the XFL. The failed league, which played its first and only season in 2001, originally attempted to compete with the NFL by branding itself as "REAL FOOTBALL," with fewer rules, harder hits, and no fair catches. Now, evidence is building that McMahon believes the time is right for the league to make a comeback.
