A South Carolina prison inmate handed a judge a "wad" of counterfeit cash to pay his trespassing bond — and then told the judge to "keep the change," the Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office said.Officials on Monday said an inmate at the Chesterfield County Detention Center was charged with forgery after the incident.With that, instead of a relatively minor charge of trespassing, Alexander soon was charged with counterfeit money/forgery, the sheriff's office said.A judge said he had set bond for inmate Patrick Alexander, 33, of Mississippi in the amount of $250 on a trespassing charge, officials said.After being given his personal property, Alexander reportedly "removed a wad of money, sorted through the bills, and handed the judge" three $100 bills — and then told the judge to “keep the change," officials said.As you can imagine, the judge wasn't impressed by the suspect's supposed generosity.Instead, the judge told Alexander he "could not keep the change and, while holding the money, noticed the color of the bills appeared unusual," the sheriff's office said.Upon further inspection, the judge observed Chinese writing on the back of the bills, officials said.A detention officer then checked the bills using a counterfeit detection pen, and that revealed the bills were counterfeit, the sheriff's office said.Alexander then was informed the currency was fake, and the judge instructed the detention officer to hold the money as evidence, officials said.RELATED: Video shows Texas man shoot up meat market after worker refuses to accept counterfeit $50 bill: 'Watch what's gonna happen' Image source: Chesterfield County (S.C.)

Former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey has been reportedly subpoenaed in the investigation into a "grand conspiracy" against President Donald Trump.The development was confirmed by two sources with knowledge of the situation who spoke to Axios. It was also reported by NBC News, which cited two sources as well.'No one is above the law. ... We will follow the facts in this case.' The "grand conspiracy" investigation is targeting top officials from the former Biden and Obama administrations, according to the sources, and has produced more than 130 subpoenas.The subpoena against Comey reportedly relates to the infamous Intelligence Community Assessment about Russian election interference that was sent in January 2017.The investigation into the grand conspiracy is being led by U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones from the Southern District of Florida.Comey was indicted in Sept. 2025 by a grand jury for allegedly abusing his office out of political motivation. "No one is above the law," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement following the indictment. "Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case." That was dismissed after a judge found in Nov. 2025 that Trump had improperly appointed Lindsey Halligan, his personal attorney, to serve as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. The Justice Dept. has appealed that ruling.RELATED: Trump rips into Comey over seashell message: 'He knew exactly what he was doing!' Comey made headlines in May 2026 when he snapped a photo of shells on a beach that many took to be a threat against Trump. After posting the image on social media, he denied knowing that the message could be taken as a threat."He knew exactly what that meant," Trump said about the incident. "A child knows what that meant. If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant? That meant assassination." Like Blaze News?

A major political shake-up unfolded in Illinois as progressives whose views align with those of "the Squad" were dealt a decisive blow in recent Democratic primaries.According to BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere, the losses highlight growing fractures within the Democratic Party, particularly between establishment figures and the party’s far-left flank associated with the likes of Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.“What we saw in Illinois was a situation where you’ve got obviously a bright, bright, bright blue state, right? This is the bluest of the blue basically where, you know, you can kind of do whatever you want if you’re a Democrat,” Stu begins.“So, you have these factions of the Democratic Party warring with each other. They’re fighting, they’re going back and forth trying to take control. Of course, one of the big groups that is trying to do that is the sort of Squad left,” he continues.“The Squad left,” Stu explains, is the “AOC left.”“Someone who’s very, very socialist leaning, very, very anti-Israel, very, you know, pro-abortion and trans, everything as far as you can go,” he says.“And they had a play here in Illinois. They had a chance to do something. They had a chance to move the needle a little bit, and it did not work,” he says, referencing an article by Axios titled, “The ‘Squad’ left suffers complete wipeout in Illinois.”“The left suffered a virtually total collapse in the Illinois Democratic congressional primaries on Tuesday night — even in races where the AIPAC-backed candidate lost,” the article reads.“It’s a bad sign for the dozens of insurgent Democrats running in congressional races across the country, both in open seats and as primary rivals to older or more establishment-oriented incumbents,” it continues.“AIPAC is like, I don’t know, they’re supposedly the ultimate villains of all the world right now because, you know, a lot of people even on the right, certainly plenty on the left, are blaming them for pushing us into war with Iran and, you know, all sorts of different things,” Stu explains.Stu notes that AIPAC was “very excited” about Illinois’ results, as “they put a lot of money into these races to try to stop very hardcore anti-Israel candidates from winning those primaries.”Want more from Stu?To enjoy more of Stu's lethal wit, wisdom, and mockery, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
