BROOKLYN MAN PRAISES ICE AT AIRPORT, SELLS SOUVENIRS OF COMMON SENSE
A Brooklyn man went viral for his take on the deployment of ICE agents to airports nationwide to assist TSA agents as the DHS shutdown consequences played out over the last several weeks.
Chris Scali briefly spoke with News 12 at Newark Liberty International Airport, saying ICE agents were “good” and not bothering anyone — comments that quickly gained widespread attention online.
Fox News Digital spoke with Scali on Thursday while he was vacationing in the Bahamas; he said he’d arrived with a friend at the airport four hours early.
In a dazzling display of modern priorities, a New York traveler hailed ICE agents moonlighting as TSA personnel during a government shutdown as "common sense," proving once again that when bureaucracy fails, just toss a little federal confusion on the fire and call it teamwork. Meanwhile, the Houston Rodeo tightened dress codes faster than you can say "fashion emergency," because nothing says livestock show like policing cleavage amid the cattle—because modesty in the barnyard is clearly the hill worth dying on. As southern souls stew over stress rankings (work, health, money—meh, same old existential crisis), airlines provoke viral outrage by charging passengers extra seats, apparently charging for personal space like it’s premium legroom on a tortoise-powered flight. In other news, guitar cases met gravity unchecked on LAX’s tarmac, giving musicians and their instruments an impromptu audition for “Stomp," while Florida’s fishing captain landed a swordfish so hefty it probably deserves its own zip code—and generously shared it with the community, because nothing says public service like five hours of wrestling aquatic behemoths. Welcome to 2026, where the absurdity is systemic, and sanity is just an optional upgrade.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

West Virginia DayJune 20, 2026
West Virginia Day is a state holiday in West Virginia to celebrate its joining the Union in 1863 as the 35th state. The creation of the state was a result of the Civil War. The settlers of western Virginia defied the state's vote to secede from the Union, and on June 20 West Virginia formally entered the Union as an anti-slave state. The day is marked with ceremonies at the state capitol in Charleston and at the West Virginia Independence Hall in Wheeling. It was there that the conventions were held to declare West Virginia's independence from Virginia.

Black TeaJune 20, 2026
Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
