FBI foils alleged explosive-drone plot targeting White House UFC event
The FBI disrupted an alleged explosive-drone plot targeting the White House UFC 250 event, identifying nearly two dozen suspected participants and arresting five. Authorities allege the plan involved explosive-laden drones striking buildings near the venue to trigger an evacuation into a pre-positioned sniper attack. FBI Director Kash Patel highlighted the agency's role in protecting American citizens during large public gatherings.
The sun is out, it's a cool 60 degrees and in this Tuesday edition of Screencaps, you can feel America slipping into a comfort zone for summer. The World Cup rolls on, but there's also this other massive sporting event that takes place this upcoming weekend called the U.S. Open. And it's Father's Day on Sunday.
What a run for the United States. Thursday will be a day you'll want to just take off work. While you're at it, take off Friday, too, in order to recover. You'll get Team USA vs. Australia on at 3 ET on Thursday and the U.S. Open at the same time. Guys. Get those patios dialed in. Get your meat purchased. We're about to have ourselves yet another massive weekend to celebrate this incredible place we get to call home.

Speaking of having a weekend, how about new mom Karoline Leavitt making her return to the White House to celebrate freedom and President Trump's birthday on Sunday. Talk about creating some buzz. The usual suspect LIB morons were out in full force on Monday as Leavitt shared moments from her big return.
"Granddaughter with huge crow feet eyes that look more like her mom, plus grandpa. There, I fixed it for you. You’re welcome," some disgusting LIB maniac wrote on Instagram. "Ms Piglet and Crinkle Balls," some loser added.
But, the freedom loving sane people of this great country came to Karoline's defense to show support, destroy the filthy LIBS and celebrate the greatest press secretary this country has ever employed. Tavia Hunt, whose husband, Clark Hunt, owns the Chiefs, showed support for Karoline by responding, "Gorgeous."
Real American Anna Paulina chimed in with a red heart emoji and all was right in the world. The filthy LIBS scurried back to their dark spots on the web and sanity won out.

I don't usually pat myself on the back for a tweet, but I have no choice this time
If this tweet doesn't do numbers, the algorithm really hates me right now. This should do 40,000 'likes' if we're being honest.
What should I include in the Screencaps 'America 500' 2276 time capsule?
– Brent P. in Indiana suggests:
Here is what I would put in the Screencaps capsule. Photos of:
- The great chili debate. Beans or no beans
- The stacks of firewood
- Hildee’s belly button

THURSDAY NIGHT MOWING LEAGUE WANTS 40 MILLION AMERICANS TO STOP WASTING WEEKENDS ON THEIR LAWNS
Kinsey: Google Gemini is suggesting I put vacuum-sealed Kentucky Bluegrass clippings, in honor of Thursday Night Mowing League into the capsule. Will that even work? Won't they disintegrate? Gemini is also suggesting I include a pair of grass-stained New Balance sneakers.
I tried Wendy's last night for the first time in 3-4 years
On Monday, after announcing that OutKick has pretty much saved Cracker Barrel from death, I asked what brands should we save next.
– Robert B. suggests: Wendy's. Start by dumping of that new, spicy chicken sandwich and bringing back the original one - which was by far better than every other chicken sandwich, IMHO.
Kinsey: In order to walk the walk, I stopped at Wendy's last night for the first time in at least three years, maybe four. Put it this way, it's been a long, long time. I had no idea there was a new spicy chicken sandwich, so being the investigative blogger that I am, I decided to try the new sandwich.
Review:
- No meth addicts running the drive-thru; that was a strong start. The woman working the mic didn't need me to repeat the order three or four times. Her brain actually functioned.
- The workers got the order right. That's another good sign.
- The spicy chicken sandwich, IMO, was actually BETTER than the old sandwich. The old breading was better. The spice was just right and the chicken breast was legit. I was getting REAL chicken like I'd get at Fil-A.
- Screencaps Jr. tried the Dave's Single and was satisfied. It wasn't anything out-of-body, but it was fine.
Here's my biggest problem with Wendy's right now, besides the meth addict employees –– they won't bring back a pop-up Superbar. I'm exhausted from repeating myself.
This would be one of the biggest marketing wins of the last decade. It would be Wendy's viral moment just like Classic Pizza Huts going viral. We now have TWO generations of Wendy's customers who never experienced a Superbar.
Give me FOUR Superbars spread out across the U.S. I want one in Ohio, another one in Florida, Texas gets one and another one in NYC, but I want it to be a full-blown Wendy's with the atrium jutting out of a second-story in Times Square. I want people dining while overlooking Times Square with the original, theme of being in a garden eating your fast-food buffet meal with plants everywhere.
Let's talk, Wendy's. I can save you guys.
Let's check in with the golf media who are being transported from media hotels to Shinnecock for the U.S. Open
After experiencing the media bus shuttle last year for the Ryder Cup, I can confidently say my days of romanticizing about attending/covering golf events on Long Island are over. I'm out, dawg. The ride from Aqueduct to Bethpage was pure torture. I seem to remember a friend of mine being on one of the buses and it took 2 1/2 hours to get back to the hotel.
I know golf media can be whiny, but in this case, I feel for these guys. I'll be perfectly fine watching from home this weekend. Let the young bucks deal with the shuttles.

And with that, I'm out this morning. I have to get my day rolling. I need to get Mrs. Screencaps to do a garden tour with me. It's how we start our summer mornings, even on workdays. It's important to stop and smell the flowers and reconnect with earth before working on the Internet all day.
That has me thinking, how will humans communicate in 250 years? Ponder that one today.
