Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Wednesday that he threatened to “kick ass” during a heated confrontation last year, while firmly denying reports that he threatened to punch the now-acting Director of National Intelligence “in the face.”

The unusual exchange emerged during a Senate Finance Committee hearing, where Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) pressed Bessent about reports surrounding a confrontation between the two Trump administration officials during the summer of 2025.

According to Bessent, one key detail in the widely circulated account was inaccurate.

While he denied threatening.

The Russian-installed administrator of Sevastopol reported a drone attack at the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Russian-occupied Crimea.

Mikhail Razvozhayev, the so-called “Governor of Sevastopol” posted on Telegram on Aug. 20 that a drone crashed onto the roof of one building with no casualties. Another Russian official, Oleg Kryuchkov, noted that “attacks by small drones continue” and urged civilians in Crimea to “remain calm.”

Per Fox News:

“The goal is not military but psychological,” he added. “The explosives are minimal and not capable of inflicting significant harm.”

Russia’s naval power in Crimea has seen several setbacks in recent months and Western officials assessed this week that half of the fleet’s naval combat jets are out of commission, according to a Reuters report.

Multiple explosions at the Novofedorivka airfield – roughly 60 miles north of Sevastopol on Crimea’s western coastline – were reported earlier month.

At least nine warplanes were wiped out in the explosions that Russia attempted to downplay by claiming the ammunition had accidentally detonated at the airfield.

Today’s attacks are the latest by the Ukrainian military to occur deep inside Russian-occupied territory. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 following an internal Ukrainian crisis, but most countries continue to recognize it as a part of Ukraine.

In April, Ukraine sank the pride of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, the Moskva, after hitting it with two R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles. Russia claimed its best-defended warship floundered while being towed to port after an onboard fire. Moscow stated that one sailor died and 27 were missing. However, a Turkish ship reportedly responded to a distress signal and plucked 58 sailors out of the water — out of a complement of 419 enlisted men and 66 officers.

    Ladies, refuse to compete if there is a so called “TRANSGENDER” person in the competition; as simple as that.

    The decent people there better take a good look at who is in their court system
    and act accordingly.

    What is wrong with our court system that they can think it’s alright for men, claiming to be women, to be competing against real women in any kind of sports? Just having someone say they are a different sex doesn’t make it so.Is it any wonder this country is so screwed up?

    Democrats use the courts to force society to accept cultural changes they couldn’t get through Congress. It was not Congress that legalized abortion, same-sex marriage, and now, transgender rights superceding the rights of non-trans people. So, in essence, the judicial system writes and then I forced their own laws.

    Congress is becoming irrelevant and they are allowing it to happen.
