Most Americans rightfully view Sen. John McCain as a genuine war hero and American icon. That view is not shared by President Donald Trump’s supporters, it would appear. Kelly Sadler, a special assistant to the presidend, is under fire for telling staff that they should laugh off McCain’s opposition to Gina Haspel as CIA director over her record of torture because his opinion “doesn’t matter” since “he’s dying anyway.” On Fox Business, Thomas McInerney, a former Fox News military analyst, rebuked McCain by saying torture clearly “worked for John” and that is why is calling “Songbird John” for cracking under torture.

With his former personal attorney Michael Cohen spinning off ethical violations like some hurricanes spin off tornados, Rudolph W. Giuliani was meant to bring back some relief from the worsening scandal over Stormy Daniels. Instead, Giuliani gave a rambling, conflicted account that the President had to refute the next morning. The worse rebuke however came yesterday when Giuliani’s firm Greenberg Traurig severed ties with Giuliani and specifically refuted his claims that all lawyers regularly do what Cohen did. Many of us at the time noted that lawyers do not take these actions and pay hush money from retainer funds. The firm not only wanted to establish that it did not do such unethical things but that it was no longer going to be associated with Rudy Giuliani.
Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers, Inc. is being sued for allegedly selling 3-month-old Labrador Retriever puppies for highly trained services at $18,000 to $27,000 per pup. 
Last year, I helped one of my sons in high school as he wrote an essay on the constitution, including a focus on a case where I served as the lead counsel. I thought he did a great job and was shocked when the teacher gave him a C+ (wrongly interpreting the key elements of the underlying case law). We let it go even though I thought the essay was entirely correct. I now feel better after reading how famous writer Ian McEwan, author of Atonement, Amsterdam, and On Chesil Beach, helped his son write an essay on his work, Enduring Love. It came back with a C grade. McEwan clearly did not understand what he was trying to say in his book.
Latonia Shelecia Stewart, 26, is charged in the Bronx with a particularly despicable crime. Stewart allegedly followed obituaries in order to break into homes when grieving families were burying their loved ones.
Brian Zielinski, 29, does not exactly cut the image of Johnny Depp, but he is known in Knoxville as “Captain Jack Sparrow.” His rather unnerving appearance may be due to his alleged habit of huffing glue. He was charged of possessing intoxicants for unlawful purposes, possession of unlawful drug paraphernalia uses and activities, evading arrest and disorderly conduct.
For roughly 100 years, George Washington has rallied behind our beloved mascot of the Colonials. Now hundreds of students want to replace the mascot as “offensive” due to its perceived connection to colonization and . . . systemic oppression.” Instead, they want to adopt the Hippo that is a favorite stop at 21st and H St. However, wouldn’t that make us the “Hippocrites”?
Angelique Sanchez, 26, may have serious difficulty in pursuing a new job in Aurora, Colorado. Sanchez was cited for property destruction after she allegedly put a urine sample in a 7-Eleven microwave — resulting in it exploding. She was found waiting for a physical and urinalysis at a health clinic a half-mile away.

Educators in the United Kingdom have a curious view of teachable moments. The educators found that many of their students could not tell the time at schools because they could not read analog clocks. The solution? They replaced all of the clocks with digital clocks. Problem solved. Of course, people from other countries may have to help them with reading Big Ben . . . unless it will also go digital.

Thomas Tramaglini, 42, was arrested for a particularly vile alleged crime: being a serial pooper on a high school football field. That alone would make him a standout as an alleged felon. Yet, the real surprise for police was to learn of his day job: Superintendent of Schools in Holmdel, New Jersey. He was named superintendent of Kenilworth schools in August 2015. Tramaglini also worked as a lecturer at Rutgers Graduate School of Education. 
Rocco Mantella, 34, is accused for being a menace to swans after being allegedly seen in public parks practicing his karate on the birds. He has been banned from two Florida parks and charged with cruelty to animals for what witnesses say is a pattern of kicking swans as well as a sleeping duck.
