TikToker Launches Fake ‘Alligator Alcatraz' Tour Website That Redirects to Photos of Trump With Epstein
Lisandra Vazquez, a TikTok comedian with nearly a million followers, recently decided to troll the president's supporters by creating a website that appears to be a company offering guided tours of the draconian prison but, in reality, offers information about how to donate to progressive organizations like Planned Parenthood, Climate Power, and World Central Kitchen, a non-profit that provides food relief.
Vazquez launched a website, dubbed Terri's Tourz, that, upon first glance, appears to be a tour guide company marketed to the MAGA crowd. 'Making America Great, One Tour at a Time,' the site states. The site features what is obviously an AI-generated image of a folksy-looking white woman (who, the website visitor might safely assume, is Terri). However, when site visitors click on hyperlinks embedded in the site's homepage (they offer options like 'VIP Tour' and 'Basic Tours'), they are simply directed to pictures of Donald Trump hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein.
Another page on the site offers visitors links to several liberal non-profits, with the note: 'If you can't donate money to these organizations, maybe you can volunteer time? If not time, then maybe sharing their pages? Often, just resharing posts from an organization can have a butterfly effect.'
A disclosure on the website clearly notes: 'TerrisTourz.com is a satirical website created for entertainment purposes only. All characters, events, and scenarios—though occasionally inspired by real-life individuals or public commentary—are entirely fictional and exaggerated for comedic effect.' A different disclaimer encourages the visitor to 'proceed with laughter.'
The real Alligator Alcatraz has been accused of holding detainees in inhumane conditions, without access to adequate food and water, CBS has reported. The facility was built by federal authorities over the course of only several days at a municipal airport in the Everglades, some 50 miles west of Miami. According to reports, the prison is also said to be plagued by giant bugs and non-functioning toilets. There is no evidence that alligators are actually being used as security guards, though Florida governor Ron DeSantis recently said, of the building: 'Clearly from a security perspective, if someone escapes, there's a lot of alligators you're going to have to contend (with)…No one is going anywhere once you do that. It's as safe and secure as you can be.'

Senate Republicans block attempt to roll back massive tax hike on professional gamblers
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked an attempt to reverse a little-noticed provision from their tax and spending cuts law that professional gamblers warn could be the end of their industry. Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada sought unanimous passage of a bill that would roll back the change on gambling tax deductions, but Republican Sen. Todd Young of Indiana objected, stalling the proposal for now. The emerging fight over the gambling provision is likely only the beginning of the fallout from the new tax law and its impact on the country. Spanning more than 900 pages, the bill signed into law by President Donald Trump last week contained a slew of provisions changing federal programs and the tax code, many of which lawmakers admit they are only now beginning to fully digest. 'My understanding is many Republicans, many Democrats did not even know it was part of that process,' Cortez Masto said of the gambling provision. Under the new tax law, starting in 2026, individuals can only deduct 90% of their gambling losses up to the amount of their winnings. That's a change from the previous rule, which allowed gamblers to deduct 100% of their losses, up to the amount they won. The change will only significantly impact those who gamble larger amounts and who take the extra steps to itemize and deduct their losses. But for those individuals, the impact could be steep. In practice, for example, under the old rule, someone who wins $100,000 and loses $100,000 could deduct the full $100,000 in losses and owe nothing. Under the new rule, they would only be able to deduct $90,000 and would still owe taxes on the remaining $10,000, despite having lost all their winnings. 'This new amendment to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act would end professional gambling in the U.S. and hurt casual gamblers, too,' Phil Galfond, a professional poker player, said on social media just days ahead of the bill's final passage. The provision was included in the bill's text released on June 16 by Senate Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo. Some senators have said they weren't aware of the provision, and it only publicly came to light days ahead of the bill's passage, with professional gamblers and media figures drawing attention to it. 'Now I see Republican senators walking all over the Capitol saying they didn't even know anything about this policy," said Sen. Ron Wyden, the top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee. 'The fact is, when you rush a process like this, this way, and cram in all of these policies that you haven't really thought about, you risk consequences for people back home. That is what is going on here,' Wyden. said The provision is estimated to generate over $1.1 billion in tax revenue over eight years. The entirety of the tax break and spending cuts bill will increase the deficit by nearly $3.3 trillion from 2025 to 2034, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Republicans say it was a necessary procedural change tied to the reconciliation process, which allowed them to pass the sweeping bill without Democratic support. Young, the Indiana Republican who objected to Cortez Masto's bill, said he supports the policy but would only agree to undo it if Democrats accepted other provisions in return. 'I strongly support the underlying bill, but will have to object unless you can agree to my request,' Young said on the Senate floor. Thursday's attempt by Cortez Masto won't be the last. On Wednesday, she introduced a bill that will first have to go through committee, but has bipartisan support, to restore the full gambling deduction. In the House, Nevada Democratic Rep. Dina Titus has also introduced a bill attempting to return to the previous standard. ___

WWE's Drew McIntyre shares 'honest' thoughts about Randy Orton, John Cena and Cody Rhodes
Drew McIntyre will make his in-ring return at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event when he squares off against Randy Orton more than a month after he lost to Damian Priest in a steel cage match. McIntyre showed his face last week when he interrupted a segment between Orton and Cody Rhodes. Unafraid to tell it like it is, McIntyre wondered "what happened" to Orton as the so-called "Legend Killer" seemingly lost the psychological war against Rhodes well before he lost the match against him that would have given him a shot at the Undisputed WWE championship against John Cena at SummerSlam. Orton got the last word that night, but it set up a match between the two superstars at Saturday Night's Main event. "I guess we'll find out," McIntyre told Fox News Digital when asked whether Orton may have lost his killer instinct. "He finally dropped me with the RKO after I ran my mouth for eight straight minutes. But I'm honest. I'm always honest. I'm not the bad guy. You know, 'heel,' like everyone likes to say. I just tell the truth and that makes you the bad guy today's day in age. "I said Cody's been buttering him up for months, talking about how great friends they are, how much he respects him, getting Randy's guard down leading into the (Night of Champions) match and the split second Randy tweaked his back, his surgically repaired back, the back he was never gonna return from at one point. "What did Cody do? 'My good friend, oh my goodness, are you OK? I want to do this the right way.' No! He went right after his back. He targeted his back, possibly shortened his career even more. Then, when Randy had the opportunity to get him back, he hesitated, but he went for it anyway, then he missed and he lost the match. That's on Randy." McIntyre said "prodding" Orton was part of the plan to get a match with him. He compared himself with John Cena and said he wasn't going to sell his soul and take "cheap" route to get a title shot. When it came to who he wants to face for the title, he pointed directly at Rhodes and made clear he didn't want to go up against this version of Cena. "Cena and Cody at SummerSlam. … I've said this already. I don't want this John Cena. This John Cena is a little b----," he said. "We never had a match one-on-one ever. It would be a huge match. I don't want this Cena. "I want to send him packing the way he used to be — hustle, loyalty and respect, doing things the right way. These cheap finishes, everyone leaves the arena like, 'That freaking sucked, that was a waste of money.' I want the actual John Cena. But since he's not that guy, I want Cody to win that title." McIntyre compared his career to Rhodes' and believes their potential matchup would be one everyone wanted to see. "And as I told Cody, parallel careers for 20 years. We both got handed a crappy hand back in the day character wise. We both had to leave the company to find ourselves, come back, get ourselves to where we are now. I used to be where he was in his mindset where he is now. I've evolved past that. I see what's important now," he told Fox News Digital. "Parallel careers, different destinations. The story is gonna be incredible, the match is gonna be incredible. But I want to be the one to tear the title out of Cody's hands and see the look in his face and know, 'Oh crap this isn't the same Drew, and I was scared of the old Drew. This is an evolved Drew I can't compete with because he's better than me.'" Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
