Tristan Rogers, who played legacy character Robert Scorpio on ABC’s “General Hospital,” died Friday, less than one month after he made a special appearance on the soap opera. He was 79. “The entire ‘General Hospital’ family is heartbroken to hear of Tristan Rogers’ passing,” said Frank Valentini, the show’s executive producer, in a statement. “Tristan has captivated our fans for 45 years and Port Charles will not be the same without him (or Robert Scorpio).” Born in Melbourne, Australia, Rogers’ first foray into performing was in his early twenties and playing drums in a rock band with a group of friends. They weren’t successful so Rogers turned to commercial work

Comments:

For those of us who had to watch mom's afternoon "stories" every day. Rest in peace, Tristan, and thanks for making Robert Scorpio someone to root for.

Before I was married in the late '80s I worked nights and used to tape all three ABC soaps; All My Children, One Life to Live, and General Hospital. I called it "All One Hospital". Every afternoon after waking I would watch the tape, then record the highlights on my answering machine. I had many friends, who were fans, that would call my number only to hear the message. "Robert Scorpio" was one of my favorites. May he rest in peace, and God grant comfort to his loved ones.

I have watched General Hospital for 60 years. I loved Scorpio. He will certainly be missed! I still watch the Soap, not many of the Originals left! Laura is still there and of course Sonny. But then, they have aged along with me, so we're all in the same Boat!! Last Friday when ABC decided to Pre-empt General Hospital, I could imagine Ladies all over the country screaming at their TV, You DO NOT EVER Pre-Empt on a Friday! Everybody knows that!! I was not happy!! Stupid ABC!

My late husband was a stage manager for General Hospital. Hours were long, but he liked working that show.

Wild video shows a Southwest pilot doing standardized field sobriety tasks on a jetbridge before eventually being arrested. Driving while intoxicated is bad enough, but can you imagine getting on a plane where one of the pilots has been accused of having too many beers before clocking in for work? That was the reality for one plane full of people headed to Chicago from Savannah Hilton Head Airport earlier this year, when pilot David Paul Allsop was pulled off the flight after a member of the TSA reported having seen him appear intoxicated before boarding.

Social media bid “adios amigos” as an alleged illegal alien TikToker known for doxxing ICE operations was arrested during a livestream. Clout chasing came with consequences this week in Los Angeles when attempts to restore law and order, along with national sovereignty, reached the “find out” stage for a TikToker who’d spent too much time “f*ing around” with law enforcement. Tatiana Martinez, an influencer with the Colombian flag in her Instagram bio known for encouraging disruption of immigration enforcement, was seen being hauled out of a Tesla and taken into custody. “The number of TikTok influencers who are here illegally would shock you,”

A suspected illegal alien was killed after darting onto a freeway to avoid contact with federal immigration officers conducting an enforcement operation at a Home Depot store in Monrovia on Thursday, according to city officials. The man was struck by a passing motorist and taken to a hospital, where he later died. Monrovia City Manager Dylan Fiek says the man ran from the Home Depot parking lot onto the 210 Freeway and likely was fleeing to avoid detection by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the city located 20 miles north of Los Angeles.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday after Trump’s positive meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. Trump, who is looking to bring the Ukraine war to a close, took to Truth Social early Saturday morning to announce that he had spoken with Zelensky following the Putin summit in Alaska, and the understanding among all parties is that a peace deal, rather than a ceasefire, must be reached.

Nine Democrat officials pleaded not guilty this week to felony election-fraud charges in one of the most significant ballot-harvesting cases in recent Texas history. The charges were brought by Attorney General Ken Paxton after a two-year investigation that uncovered what prosecutors describe as an organized scheme to manipulate mail-in ballots in rural South Texas. Six of the defendants appeared in person at a Pearsall courtroom on Wednesday, while three others joined remotely through Zoom. Among those charged is Juan Manuel Medina, the former chairman of the Bexar County Democrat Party. Medina’s attorney filed a motion to dismiss the charges, arguing that the prosecution is politically motivated,

For years, Senator Adam Schiff built his career accusing Republicans of corruption while pretending to be a defender of democracy. Now he stands accused of mortgage fraud in a scandal that underscores not only his hypocrisy but the broader corruption embedded in the Democratic Party. The Gateway Pundit first broke this story, reporting that Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte referred Schiff for criminal investigation earlier this year. In May, Pulte sent the referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi alleging that Schiff falsified bank documents and property records “in multiple instances” to secure more favorable loan terms between 2003 and 2019.

A federal judge on Friday shut down the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) investigation into far-left Media Matters. US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, a Biden appointee, issued an injunction against the FTC and blocked its investigation into Media Matters. The judge said the Trump Administration illegally retaliated against Media Matters. “This case presents a straightforward First Amendment violation,” judge Sparkle Sooknanan wrote. In May, the Federal Trade Commission launched an investigation into Media Matters for America, the far left group that targets conservative media outlets and personalities to put them out of business. Media Matters for America is funded by the top Democrat Megadonors who value their work.

The U.S. Department of State announced Saturday morning that it was stopping a visa program that allowed residents of Gaza to enter the United States for "medical-humanitarian" reasons. This comes after videos of large groups of Gazans—often decked out in "Palestinian" flags and keffiyehs associated with the terror group Hamas—arriving at airports across the nation began popping up on social media in the last few weeks. According to this State Department tweet, the program is being paused while officials review the "process and procedures" that have allowed a stream of injured children from Gaza, often accompanied by several family members, into the country.

Don’t be disappointed if you’re anxious to attend the Biden Presidential Library’s opening. It almost certainly will never exist. D.C. swampsters are trying to bury the record, hoping the public forgets how bad things were. Its subject will soon be either in the ground or too incapacitated to solicit funding. Biden staffers retaining criminal defense counsel have no interest in a library containing evidence for prosecutors to mine. No reporters from press outlets complicit in enabling chaos are hounding Biden. DOGE revelations testify to his administration's wholesale graft. FBI servers were purged of controversial data, unburdening what had been.

Yet, he also has an important connection to the Russiagate hoax that reveals the scope of the lawfare superstructure that is trying to dismantle MAGA, which I document in my book Breaking the Law. Just like the rest of the Russiagate conspirators, Boasberg ought to be investigated for it.
