Fake News Strikes Again: Media Launches Arlington Cemetery Hoax
A day after former President Donald Trump honored 13 fallen American service members at Arlington National Cemetery, NPR is claiming Trump campaign staff got into an “altercation” with a cemetery official who prevented them from taking photographs in an off-limits section.
The outlet published an article claiming a source told the outlet that “two members” of Trump’s campaign staff had a “verbal and physical altercation” with a cemetery official who allegedly attempted to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60 of the cemetery and filming and photographing in the section.
Officials at the cemetery reportedly “made clear that only cemetery staff members are authorized to take photographs or film” in Section 60, the source told the outlet.
In response to the allegations, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung explained that a “private photographer was permitted on the premises,” and added that an “unnamed individual” had “decided to physically block members of President Trump’s team” during the ceremony at the cemetery.
“There was no physical altercation as described and we are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made,” Cheung said in a statement. “The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump’s team during a very solemn ceremony.”

In a post on X, Cheung shared a photo that stated that “only” Trump was allowed to “have an official photographer and/or videographer outside of the main media pool.”
Senior Trump adviser Chris LaCivita also issued a statement criticizing “a despicable individual” for physically preventing Trump campaign staff “from accompanying” the former president to the ceremony.
“President Trump was there on the invitation of the Abbey Gate Gold Star Families to honor their loved ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country,” LaCivita said in a statement. “For a despicable individual to physically prevent President Trump’s team from accompanying him to this solemn event is a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hollowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. Whoever this individual is spreading these lies are dishonoring the men and women of our armed forces, and they are disrespecting everyone who paid the price for defending our country.”
Trump took part in a wreath-laying ceremony on Monday at Arlington Cemetery, honoring the 13 fallen service members who lost their lives on August 26, 2021, during the Biden administration’s Afghanistan withdrawal.
Cheryl Juels, the aunt of Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, one of the servicemembers who was killed, issued a statement that they had “absolutely welcomed and appreciated having video and photography there.”
Juels added that it “was monumental.”
“I can speak for myself and our family, and we absolutely welcomed and appreciated having video and photography there with us during the time we spent with President Trump,” Juels said in a statement. “For us this was monumental, and having it recorded, we felt was important. When has a president and so many veteran members of Congress ever come to pay their respects like this EVER before? This is a hard day for us, and we have been ignored by the current administration for 3 YEARS now, so to have President Trump, take the time, to come and honor our kids at Arlington and lay wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with us, as well as Tyler Vargas Andrews and Kelsee Lainhart, the 2 most gravely injured Marines, to remember and honor the Abbey Gate 13, and those WIA that day, was truly an unprecedented show of presidential respect, gratitude and honor! He almost just lost his own life in service to this country! But it didn’t end there, he also took the time to come to section 60 and spent more time, laying flowers at their gravesites talking to us and asking to hear all our stories about Nicole’s life and actually listened to us, & left us all feeling validated and like someone cared!”
Juels added that they “wanted” and were “glad to have had it all recorded” for their family and the world, and praised Trump for showing what an “honorable President looks like.”

Tropical Storm Hone Forecast Discussion
000 WTPA41 PHFO 280238 TCDCP1 Tropical Storm Hone Discussion Number 23 NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI CP012024 Issued by NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 500 PM HST Tue Aug 27 2024 Despite moderate to strong westerly shear, Hone continues to produce a cluster of strong convection just northeast of the low-level center. The various subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates are currently ranging from 35-55 kt, and the initial intensity is kept at a possibly conservative 45 kt. The cyclone continues to move west-northwestward of 285/9 kt. There is again little change to the track forecast philosophy, as flow around a low- to mid-level ridge to the north of the tropical cyclone should maintain this general motion for the next 2-3 days. There is little change to the track guidance from the previous advisory, and there is also little change to the forecast track. Strong westerly shear of 40 kt should affect Hone for the next few days, and that combined with dry air entrainment should cause weakening. Based on this and the intensity guidance, the new intensity forecast is similar to the previous forecast in calling for the cyclone to degenerate to a remnant low pressure area around 60-72 h. One change in the intensity forecast was to add a day as a remnant low in agreement with the global models. It should be noted that Hone or its remnants could become involved with a large mid- to upper-level low near the International Dateline at about 120 h, with the global models showing a surface low in the area. Currently, it is not clear whether if this low is Hone or a new formation, and until there is more clarity, the forecast continues to show Hone dissipating by this time.

Tropical Storm Hector Forecast Discussion
000 WTPZ43 KNHC 280233 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Hector Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082024 500 PM HST Tue Aug 27 2024 Hector this evening continues to produce a large area of deep convection, though this activity is struggling to become better organized and wrap around the circulation center, possibly due to continued 15-20 kt westerly shear helping to entrain very dry mid-level air near its center. Subjective and objective intensity estimates remain largely unchanged this evening, and the initial intensity will remain 45 kt for this advisory. The tropical storm continues to move off to the west-northwest at 285/10 kt. The mid-level ridge currently steering Hector is expected to weaken somewhat as a mid- to upper-level weakness forms north of Hector. However, the cyclone is also likely to become more vertically shallow and thus steered more by a low-level ridge that will remain in place to the north. Thus, the track forecast shows Hector bending back more westward over the next several days. The latest NHC track forecast is very close to the previous advisory and lies in the middle of the guidance envelope. The overall environment near Hector currently is not all that favorable for much additional strengthening. The current moderate shear is not forecast to let up much as Hector also moves over the cold wake left behind by Gilma, which itself has dramatically weakened as it encountered less favorable conditions. Thus, weakening continues to be forecast with Hector, in good agreement with the intensity guidance. Both the GFS and ECMWF still show the cyclone losing its remaining organized convection after 48 hours, and the NHC forecast shows the system becoming a post-tropical remnant low before it crosses into the Central Pacific basin.
