Longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak previewed his closing remarks for the final episode he hosted of the popular game show. The episode will air on Friday, June 7. “Well, the time has come to say goodbye,” the 77-year-old host began. “I have a few thanks and acknowledgments before I go, and I want to start with all watching out there. It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade.” Sajak began hosting the show back in 1981. “I always felt that the privilege came with the responsibility to keep this daily half-hour a safe place for family fun,” he continued. “No social issues. No politics. Nothing embarrassing, I hope. Just a game. But gradually it became more than that.” He added, “A place where kids learned their letters, where people from other countries honed their English skills, where families came together along with friends and neighbors, and entire generations.” “What an honor to play even a small part in all of that,” Sajak concluded. “Thank you for allowing me into your lives.” Pat Sajak is signing off. https://t.co/30ldJIWuYh pic.twitter.com/X4A5sn7XQN — New York Post (@nypost) June 7, 2024 Sajak first announced his retirement in June 2023 by sharing the news on his X account. “Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last. It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all. (If nothing else, it’ll keep the clickbait sites busy!)” Longtime colleague Vanna White got emotional while discussing Sajak’s departure.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I can’t believe tomorrow is our last show together,” White said. “I don’t know how to put into words what these last 41 years have meant to me. But I’m going to try. Eight thousand episodes went by like that.” “You made me feel so comfortable, so confident,” she added. “You made me who I am. You really did.” Ryan Seacrest has been named as Sajak’s successor to host “Wheel of Fortune.” White will continue on the show at least through the 2025-26 season.

The doctor targeted by the Biden administration for blowing the whistle on transgender surgeries that were secretly being performed by Texas Children’s Hospital was formally indicted with federal charges this week. Eithan Haim, who revealed himself as the whistleblower earlier this year in an interview with The Daily Wire, says three armed agents arrived at his door early Tuesday to inform him that he’s been charged with four felonies. The charges are related to alleged HIPAA violations from when Haim, as a resident of Texas Children’s Hospital, was performing so-called “gender-affirming” procedures on minors even as it publicly declared that all such activity had been halted. Haim says there is still uncertainty about what exactly he’s being charged with — he’s been ordered to appear in court next Monday where his legal team expects to learn the extent of the charges. He has long maintained that he committed no crimes, and is being politically targeted. “I refuse to back down or to be silenced,” Haim, a practicing surgeon in Texas, posted on social media Thursday night. “But to win, we enter the arena. For us that’s federal court.” READ HAIM’S FULL STORY HERE: A Doctor Blew The Whistle On His Hospital’s Transgender Clinic. Now The Feds Are Trying To Ruin His Life. In January, Haim told The Daily Wire that he had no regrets about coming forward to expose the transgender surgeries, saying it was his “responsibility as a doctor.” “It’s my responsibility as a doctor, as a physician, to expose this to the public,” Haim said. “If I don’t, then this abuse can continue. I knew that future generations, like my children, would never be able to forgive me if they knew I had the chance to do something and I decided to stay silent.” “It requires average, everyday doctors to stand up and speak out against things like this,” he said. The indictment was first reported by journalist Christopher Rufo, who was also the journalist who reported on Haim’s initial whistleblower claims. Rufo says nothing shared with him would have constituted a HIPAA violation. “For my own part, I can confirm that nothing in the information provided to me identified any individual; all the documents were, in fact, carefully redacted,” Rufo said. Haim initially alerted last June, on the day of his graduation from his residency, that he was the target of an investigation by Biden’s Department of Justice, according to a target letter obtained by The Daily Wire. Haim in January said the federal prosecution of him is political, and was determined not to back down to the federal government. “Why should I be intimidated into silence when what we exposed was voted to become illegal, and I had not violated any privacy laws?” Haim said. “For me, it’s obvious that this is a political investigation in order to prevent this from happening at other hospitals that might be lying to the public about the existence of their programs.” Since coming forward, Haim has raised more than $289,000 for his legal defense.

June 6 marked 80 years since the Invasion of Normandy. To commemorate the largest land, sea, and air invasion ever attempted, people from all around the world gathered in France. This event included a ceremony that took place at the Normandy American Cemetery, which overlooks Omaha Beach. This is where many causalities took place during that infamous battle. Many world leaders and actors showed up to honor those who served on D-Day, including the beloved Tom Hanks. The actor is known for many iconic films. But the one in the forefront of everyone’s minds that day was Saving Private Ryan. The film famously starts with a depiction of the Allies’ first landing on Omaha Beach. It’s no wonder, then, that so many veterans not only recognized Hanks, but found themselves at a loss for words when they spotted him. @walkamongheroes What an amazing greeting by Tom Hanks upon our arrival to the Normandy American Cemetery for the 80th Anniversary commemoration of D-Day. Howdy, Mr. Hanks. #dday #NormandyTrip #WW2History #NormandyInvasion #DdayAnniversary #WW2Travel #NormandyBeaches #DdayLandings #WW2Normandy #NormandyTour #DdayMemorial #WW2Sites #NormandyHistory #Dday75 #WW2Traveler #NormandyBattlefields #DdayTour #WW2Remembrance #NormandyExperience #DdayHistory #omahabeach #dday79 #britishhero #britishveteran #WWIIBritishArmy #BandofBrothers #N4OH #walkamongheroes #greatestgeneration #dday80 ♬ original sound – walkamongheroes In the above video, Hanks can be seen politely introducing himself to two men who fought on D-Day. They seem a bit at a loss for words, but Hanks doesn’t fail to make their interaction oh-so special. You can tell he really helped them feel seen on such a somber day. In addition to chatting with veterans, Hanks gave a speech. He notes that films like Saving Private Ryan help document important moments in history, and that it is “a document that has to accurately reflect the tenor of that day,” adding, “And I’d like to think that we did.” Tom Hanks Chats With Veterans During 80th Anniversary Commemoration of D-Day “Saving Private Ryan and the beach invasion scene is probably the most realistic reenactment of D-Day and Omaha beach,” one person shares in the comments of the above video. “Tom Hanks is legendary,” another person writes, “not only for his acting abilities but for his respect and class to everyone he meets.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Anyone familiar with Chihuahuas knows they are very ferocious and protective dogs. While most weigh less than ten pounds, they will challenge animals much larger. Such was the case when a tiny 6-pound Chihuahua decided to take on a full-grown moose! @imnotsoanonymous And of course its the 6 pound #chihuahua thats making poor choices #tiny #dog #alaska #moose #dumb #chihuahuastiktok #home #nature #wildlife #alaskalife #chihuahuas ♬ original sound – ImNotSoAnonymous There is a sturdy (and tall) fence between the chihuahua and the moose, so he is in no real danger. However, barking at a critter much larger than oneself is a poor life choice. It is common for moose to stray into residential areas in Alaska, where this interaction occurred. Most residents understand the local wildlife and leave wild animals alone. The Chihuahua was in full protective mode and felt it had to defend its yard against this intruder. After making its presence known and receiving the moose’s answer, the dog turned and walked calmly away. The moose would normally ignore the tiny dog, but the original poster noticed something interesting. The moose was a cow with a young one in tow. @imnotsoanonymous This is why Mamma was so protective against the chihuahua.. #moose #alaska #baby #nature #wildlife #alaskalife #summer #mother #home #life ♬ original sound – estwne Living in a place where nature intersects with city life is amazing. Watching the momma moose escort her baby is one of the many benefits. The small, wobbly little moose, barely able to walk, is under the watchful eyes of its protective mom. After wandering through the residential area, they eventually return to their woody habitat. Moose And Humans (And Chihuahuas) Have Occasional Interactions Our little Chihuahua friend might have regretted his earlier life choices when he went to sleep. He was whimpering in his sleep. It could have been nightmares. Or he could have been dreaming about his heroic actions if that silly fence hadn’t been in his way! Image from TikTok. Moose are typically shy and will avoid human interaction, but there have been plenty of encounters. A young soldier met a baby moose who thought the man might be its mom. The calf was reunited with its real mom. In Canada, a driving instructor watched a mom escorting a newborn calf across a road. Although moose can be dangerous animals, most moose-human interactions we hear about have a happy ending. We’re glad the fence was there to keep the Chihuahua safe from the moose and to protect the baby moose from the tiny dog. If you enjoyed this little adventure, please share the story of this brave little dog. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here and here.
