When the White House unveiled the Presidential Walk of Fame, which features a portrait of former President Joe Biden replaced with the image of an autopen, one reporter was especially excited to see it.

“Every time I walk by it, I laugh to myself because I helped the president decide whether or not he should hang that photo of the autopen in Joe Biden’s spot,” Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese told BlazeTV host John Doyle at AmFest.

“I interviewed the president in August. I sat down with him for an hour in the Oval Office, and in the middle of the interview, he says, ‘Have you seen the work I’m doing in the Rose Garden?’ I’m like, ‘No, Mr. President, I haven’t,’” she continues.

That’s when the president decided to show her.

“I walk out to the Rose Garden with him, and he’s showing me everything, and we walk back inside and he has assistants on hand, and he says to them, you know, ‘Go show Reagan the portraits; get Reagan the portraits,’” she tells Doyle.

“So in walk his assistants, and they have these giant gold frames, and it’s George Washington, it’s Abraham Lincoln, it’s Ronald Reagan, who I told the president I’m named after. And I say, ‘Mr. President, are you going to hang Joe Biden’s portrait?’ And he was like, ‘All right, show her,’” she explains.

The president then had his assistants show her the photo of the autopen.

“He’s like, ‘I want to hang this photo in the place of Joe Biden’s portrait. Do you think I should do it?’ And I was like, ‘I think it would be very you, sir. I think you have to do it,’” she recalls.

“And he was like, ‘I think I will,’” she adds.

A Florida man wearing a lace bra, a G-string thong, and fake breasts was caught trespassing at a construction site, according to police. However, authorities said the bizarre situation escalated when a deputy discovered something alarming under his prosthetic silicone breasts.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd began his Monday morning briefing by stating: "Now occasionally I bring you stuff that you just can't believe, that you'll never get over, that may even scar you for life."

'Can you imagine? He's mad at us for trying to find out why he's wearing lace bras with guns and G-strings or G-somethings.'

According to the affidavit provided to Blaze News by the Polk County Sheriff's Office, a deputy encountered 39-year-old Matthew Zaccarino of Altamonte Springs at a construction zone around 1:19 a.m. Dec. 14.

The affidavit states Zaccarino's vehicle was parked on private property with signs posted that read: "No Trespassing."

A deputy made contact with Zaccarino, "who was standing next to the vehicle's open passenger-side door and putting on female clothing (bra and panties)," the affidavit said.

Judd added, "We see this dude wearing a red lace bra, with prosthetic silicone breasts. Then we noticed he's wearing a G-string — showing off the boys. You know what I mean?"

Judd said the deputy believed the situation was "highly unusual."

Zaccarino told the deputy he was on his way to a "costume party," according to Judd.

However, when the deputy pressed him about the costume party, Zaccarino couldn't answer the question, Judd said.

The affidavit states that Zaccarino was "unable to provide a location, direction, or identify individuals who would be present" at the supposed party.

The affidavit also states the deputy issued several lawful commands for the suspect to stop moving, but he "refused to comply, removed his bra and silicone breast prosthesis, and began reaching inside the vehicle."

At that time, the officer handcuffed the suspect.

Sheriff Judd stressed that these kinds of strange encounters can be extremely dangerous for officers.

According to the affidavit, the deputy was looking down at the bra and breast prosthesis and noticed a "loaded H&K 9mm firearm under the items" on the passenger-side floorboard near where Zaccarino was standing.

"Such loitering and prowling occurred under circumstances that warranted justifiable and reasonable alarm for the safety of people or property in the vicinity," the deputy wrote in the affidavit.

Zaccarino then clammed up and refused to talk to law enforcement, according to Judd.

"Can you imagine? He's mad at us for trying to find out why he's wearing lace bras with guns and G-strings or G-somethings," Judd stated.

"Oooh, it was ugly. It was so ugly," Judd remarked.

Zaccarino was arrested and charged with armed trespass, resisting without violence, and loitering and prowling.

According to Polk County Sheriff's Office jail records, Zaccarino was released on a $6,250 bond.

Hot on the heels of a highly publicized dinner with Donald and Melania Trump, Elon Musk will continue his work with the federal government through a new agreement that will affect the daily workflows of Department of War employees.

Last July, Musk's xAI entered a $200 million contract with the Pentagon to adopt advanced AI capabilities for sectors like national defense. Now, both the DOW and xAI are shedding light on some of the details surrounding their partnership in other areas.

'xAI will make available a family of government-optimized foundation models.'

In late December, the DOW announced its internal AI platform would be expanded to include xAI for "frontier-grade" capabilities.

"This initiative will soon embed xAI's frontier AI systems, based on the Grok family of models, directly into GenAI.mil. Targeted for initial deployment in early 2026," a press release stated.

This will enable the "secure handling" of "Controlled Unclassified Information" in the daily workflows of government employees, who will also gain access to "global insights" on X, which will allegedly provide a "decisive information advantage."

However, there is no indication what those insights include.

The xAI company announced in its own statement that it would be providing access to its AI models, "agentic tools, research platform, and API," unlocking real-time insights.

The systems can be embedded into the daily work of the DOW's some 3 million military and civilian employees, "from the Pentagon to the tactical edge."

"xAI will make available a family of government-optimized foundation models to support classified operational workloads," the press release added.

The DOW has also entered into contracts with other advanced technology companies like EdgeRunner AI and Palmer Luckey's Anduril.

The expanded partnership between the DOW and Musk came just days after xAI announced a new artificial voice generation application.

The Grok Voice Agent API operates essentially as a search engine optimizer that acts as a voice for a chatbot. The company released a series of sample voices, which "speak dozens of languages, call tools, and search realtime data."

The product is currently being rolled out in Teslas to relay vehicle status, search directions, and control navigation.
