The actor best known for portraying a burglar on the popular “Home Alone” movie from the ’90s was cited for allegedly soliciting a prostitute at a California hotel.

Documents obtained by TMZ say that Daniel Stern was cited on Dec. 10 in the city of Camarillo, but the 68-year-old was not arrested.

Stern could face a fine of $1,000 for the misdemeanor.

The actor had a separate emergency in Ventura County in October when he was rushed to the hospital over a medical emergency.

TMZ reported that the actor did not respond to a request for a comment.

If charged for the misdemeanor, Stern could face a fine of $1,000 as well as six months in prison if he’s convicted.

The actor played the bandit Marv Murchins alongside Joe Pesci in the “Home Alone” franchise. He has largely left his acting career in recent months and put his efforts into becoming a sculptor.

While Stern has not been vocal about his political beliefs, he previously noted with relish how he took advantage of Donald Trump long before he was elected president. He said that Trump and his then-wife Ivana Trump had walked into a bar and seen Stern with a movie crew.

Trump had a small cameo in the second “Home Alone” movie.

“Donald spotted us and proclaimed so everyone could hear that he would be picking up the tab at our table,” Stern recalled.

He said that he ordered as much alcohol as he could and even invited strangers to drink with them in order to run up the tab. He believes the final tab ended up being more than $7K.

“We still feel really good about that,” he added.

The media is either playing dumb when it comes to the Department of Health and Human Services’ recent changes to the federal dietary guidelines — or the media is actually just dumb.

“Kennedy’s nutrition guidelines raise questions,” one article from Axios is headlined.

“They are so disingenuous with, I mean, literally everything. … I do believe that they’re dumb, but it makes them look so dumb that they can’t understand just basics, just the basics,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

As for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Gonzales explains, “He’s just taking the classic food pyramid and turning it upside down.”

“It’s what we needed to do this whole time. It prioritizes eating real, whole foods, way more protein and healthy fats and vegetables and fruits. It’s OK to eat healthy fats and limit carbs and grains, especially the ultra-processed ones. That should not be confusing to, I don’t know, anyone who’s been paying attention. Like, eat real food,” she says.

“That’s three words. Three words. None of them are complex. Eat real food. Each have one syllable actually. So it’s three words, three syllables. … What they should have been confused with is the old pyramid that we were given because like, oh, we should actually eat what, 11 servings of bread, cereal, rice, and pasta a day. I mean, that’s always been absolutely absurd,” she adds.

While the left often calls RFK Jr. a “crazy conspiracy crackpot nut job” who is neither a scientist nor a doctor, Gonzales points out that “he’s a 71-year-old with a six pack.”

“Something tells me I should trust that guy with my diet. I’m going to trust him on what to eat, especially considering that this country has been getting fatter and sicker for years under the previous guidance,” she adds.

A Minnesota city politician is facing brutal backlash for supporting efforts to help illegal aliens in her city evade federal immigration enforcement.

St. Paul City Council Vice President Hwa Jeong Kim posted a video on social media calling on residents to resist Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations by delivering groceries to illegal aliens and tracking ICE agents.

‘Today I’m kicking off one of our first mutual aid grocery runs in my neighborhood.’

Kim posted the call to her Instagram account after noting the surge of federal agents into her city. Copies of the video were widely circulated on social media.

“It’s not even noon, and ICE has already kidnapped five of my neighbors. I’ve responded to one where we believe a whole family was taken with children,” she said.

“There are more federal agents in Minnesota than we have of the St. Paul and Minneapolis police combined. And yet, there are neighbors that are showing up in incredible ways like standing in front of known targeted businesses helping escort workers home,” Kim continued.

“Today I’m kicking off one of our first mutual aid grocery runs in my neighborhood — an easy way for folks to get involved, but it’s because the workers have been pulled over time and time again attempting to make deliveries to families that are too afraid to even go grocery shopping,” she added.

She went on to say she was disturbed by federal agents who were seen at city-owned properties and implied that her office was tracking their locations.

“If you see this, please record it to the best of your ability and submit to the Ward Five office,” she said.

Kim faced fierce criticism online for the post.

“Who wants to tell her hiding indoors won’t stop ICE from enforcing the law?” one critic responded.

“Bending over backwards to serve those invading America. Traitorous. Send this idiot back with them,” another detractor said.

“Where do I apply?? Would it be illegal if I told ICE all the addresses I delivered to??” another account said.

A Blaze News request for comment from Kim’s office on whether taxpayer funds were used for the project was not immediately answered.

Kim had called for the immediate arrest of the federal agent who fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good after she blocked federal operations with her vehicle and then drove straight toward the agent.

The St. Paul City Council website indicates that all the members of the council are women. In 2023, it became the first major U.S. city to have an all-female council.

According to her website, Kim has been endorsed by the St. Paul Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, the DFL Environmental Caucus, radical Attorney General Keith Ellison, and the Twin Cities chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, among other Democrat-affiliated groups.

After the death of Renee Nicole Good — the woman shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7 after she struck him with her car during a large-scale immigration operation — Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), who publicly condemned the shooting as unnecessary, intentionally fanned the flames by issuing a warning order to prepare the National Guard for deployment.

The Constitution, specifically the Supremacy Clause, forbids state military forces from impeding, obstructing, or interfering with federal military or law enforcement officials carrying out federal duties, as federal law and authority are supreme over conflicting state actions.

Walz, says Glenn Beck, undoubtedly knows such a violation of this clause would mean serious consequences, so his words were clearly meant to accomplish a different purpose.

That purpose, he says, is to send a “signal” to “the Democrats’ own revolutionary guard.”

“Those are the people who have been so duped or … hate America because America is the worst place in the world … they’re on a mission to stop the federal government any way they possibly can,” Glenn explains.

In other words, Walz was stoking a “civil war.”

The following day, he went a step farther. At a press conference on January 8, Walz said, “When things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota First that held that line for the nation on that July 3, 1863, and I think now we may be in that moment, that the nation’s looking to us to hold the line on democracy, to hold the line on decency, to hold the line on accountability, and more than that, to rise up as neighbors and simply say, ‘We can look out for one another.”’

“What he’s doing here right now is just, it’s the most selfish thing I’ve ever seen. He is only protecting himself,” says Glenn, predicting that it’s a matter of time before Walz is behind bars for his almost certain complicity in the massive, mostly Somali-perpetrated fraud schemes uncovered in Minnesota.

“The guy is guilty,” he says frankly.

It’s this guilt — not anything related to Renee Good — that is fueling Walz’s recent statements, Glenn says.

“He, first of all, stole your money, gave it to people who were shipping it out of the country. He and his administration enabled and assisted in all of this, then turned a blind eye when everybody realized … something wrong is happening. They did nothing. Why? Because if they did something in the Somali community, it guaranteed that they would not be re-elected,” Glenn says.

“It was all about getting elected.”

Then when the fraud schemes started to catch up with him, prompting the massive influx of ICE officers into Minnesota, followed by protests and obstructions and eventually Good’s death, Walz saw an opportunity to take the spotlight off his own crimes by inciting radicals to resist federal agents, framing it as defending democracy and neighbors.

“He is calling for a civil war and making himself the white knight on the white horse, saying, ‘I’m just here to protect you’ … even though he’s the guy who enabled people to come into your house and steal all of your stuff,” scoffs Glenn. “He’s saying, ‘I’m here to protect you from the bad guys who are trying to put me in jail.”’

“He’s willing to have people killed. He is willing to see a civil war. For what reason? To keep him out of jail. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything this selfish in my life.”

Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona says he filed a lawsuit against Department of War Sec. Pete Hegseth on Monday.

Hegseth has accused Kelly of committing sedition by suggesting that members of the U.S. military should refuse to comply with orders from the administration. Kelly has said that he intended only for members to refuse unlawful orders.

‘I filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of Defense because there are few things as important as standing up for the rights of the very Americans who fought to defend our freedoms.’

Hegseth had ordered Kelly’s military retirement pay to be cut and censured the senator, who is a retired U.S. Navy officer.

“Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him — and this or any administration — accountable,” said Kelly in a statement on social media. “His unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: if you speak out and say something that the President or Secretary of Defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion, or even prosecuted.”

He went on to accuse Hegseth of trying to intimidate other critics of the administration by targeting Kelly.

Kelly concluded, “Today, I filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of Defense because there are few things as important as standing up for the rights of the very Americans who fought to defend our freedoms.”

The lawsuit lists Hegseth, the Defense Department, and the U.S. Navy as defendants.

President Donald Trump had also accused Kelly of committing sedition by his comments.

“It was sedition at the highest level, and sedition is a major crime. There can be no other interpretation of what they said!” the president wrote on social media.

Hegseth had said that Kelly might face additional punishment over his comments.

“Captain Kelly’s status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action,” Hegseth said. “These actions are based on Captain Kelly’s public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders.”

A Blaze News request for comment to the Department of War was not immediately answered.

A nude Louisiana woman trespassed into a pond on her neighbor’s property to go skinny-dipping in an attempt to be a “mermaid,” according to police. The female suspect reportedly refused to comply with officers’ commands, prompting police to deploy a taser.

The Union Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a Wednesday statement that officers were dispatched to a residence in the Linville community of Marion in November regarding a trespassing complaint.

‘Sutton was taken to the ground, where she continued to resist detention and began kicking and punching the deputy.’

The caller told police that the neighbor was screaming while standing in a driveway. The caller claimed to have warned the suspect to stay off the property.

“Upon the patrol deputy’s arrival at the location, the suspect was located swimming, nude, in a pond on the caller’s property,” police said.

Police identified the suspect as 41-year-old Erin Elizabeth Sutton of Marion.

Sutton initially refused to exit the pond or speak with the deputy, telling police she was “trying to be a mermaid,” according to the statement.

After repeated commands, Sutton eventually exited the pond. Due to the cold conditions, EMS was called to evaluate Sutton.

A deputy gave Sutton a blanket and attempted to escort her inside a residence to warm up, when the suspect suddenly charged toward the officer, according to police.

“After several commands, Sutton refused to comply, and the deputy deployed a taser, which had no effect,” the statement read.

Police added, “Sutton was taken to the ground, where she continued to resist detention and began kicking and punching the deputy.”

After Sutton was restrained, EMS transported her to a local hospital for medical treatment. Police said Sutton “threatened to kill deputies and paramedics” while being transported to the hospital.

Because Sutton required medical treatment at the scene, deputies obtained arrest warrants at a later date. A Third Judicial District Court judge signed off on the warrants.

Sutton on Tuesday turned herself in to the Union Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Sutton was arrested on three felony counts of resisting an officer with force or violence, two felony counts of public intimidation, two felony counts of battery on a police officer, a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace/drunkenness, and a criminal trespassing misdemeanor charge.

Sutton’s bond was set at $62,000. The sheriff’s office on Monday told Blaze News that Sutton was still behind bars.

Fox News reported that it was not immediately clear if Sutton has retained legal representation.

The mother of a 4-year-old girl said a male substitute teacher slapped her daughter in the face twice inside a pre-K classroom at a Texas elementary school last week, KPRC-TV reported.

“Messed with the wrong mama, that’s all I gotta say,” Marissa Braughton told the station. “I will not back down until this is figured out and until this is done.”

‘No child — especially my baby girl — should have to go through this.’

The Spring Independent School District is investigating the allegation, KPRC added. Spring is a little over 30 minutes north of Houston.

Braughton told the station the incident occurred Tuesday afternoon at Smith Elementary School and that her daughter was screaming and crying when she picked her up.

“I get down to her level. I’m like, ‘Baby, what’s wrong? Tell Mama what happened.’ And she immediately is like, ‘The teacher hit me.’ I said, ‘The teacher hit you?’ And she said, ‘Yes, the boy teacher, the substitute teacher.’ I said, ‘The boy teacher?’ And she’s like, ‘Yes, Mama. He hit me twice. And I heard my neck make a sound,'” Braughton added to KPRC.

Braughton told the station she reported what her daughter told her to the school’s assistant principal and that she was informed that it would be looked into the next day. Braughton added to KPRC that she also filed a police report.

But the mother believes more should be happening, the station said. “Why haven’t we talked to these students yet? We’re about to go into the weekend where these kids might forget what they saw. They’re 4-year-olds.”

KPRC said it received the following statement from the school district:

Spring ISD was made aware of an allegation involving a substitute teacher and a student at Smith Elementary School on Tuesday evening. Campus and district administrators immediately began an investigation. The substitute teacher has been removed from the classroom pending the outcome of the investigation.

The safety and well-being of students remains our top priority. Due to the ongoing investigation, we are unable to share additional details at this time.

“Every school district takes these types of allegations very seriously,” Spring ISD AFT union lawyer Chris Tritico told the station, while adding that federal law limits what school districts can publicly disclose.

“That does not mean they’re not doing anything,” he noted to KPRC. “It just means they can’t tell them that they’ve interviewed these students, who they are, and what they’ve told them.”

Tritico also told the station that state law mandates that school districts “investigate these things immediately. Within 24 hours of the allegation, whether they’ve done anything or not, they have to report it to the State Board for Educator Certification and the [Child Protective Services]. That report was made, and the state agencies are conducting their investigations.”

KPRC asked Tritico what parents can do in situations like this.

“God bless her for wanting to take care of her child and being concerned,” he replied to the station. “But just because they can’t do it in the timeline the parent wants doesn’t mean it’s not being done.”

Regardless, Braughton told KPRC her daughter is traumatized and she’ll remain resolute in her fight.

“She’s 4 years old,” she added to the station. “No child — especially my baby girl — should have to go through this.”

Braughton also told KPRC that she removed her daughter from the school and is homeschooling her.

The district confirmed to the station that the substitute teacher has been removed — but whether the teacher can return will depend on the investigation’s outcome.

KPRC reported that in a letter sent to parents Friday — three days after the alleged incident — the school district said the substitute teacher “made inappropriate use of force on a student.”
