J.D. Vance is breaking his silence after Nicki Minaj let out a major verbal slip at the TPUSA summit this weekend — accidentally referring to him as “the assassin” — but instead of clapping back, the VP is actually taking the high road.

Vance hopped on X Monday morning and first referenced Nicki’s comments that lifting up little Black girls doesn’t mean tearing down little blonde girls … making it clear he understood her message was one rooted in unity.

He went on to say politics has pushed people into “zero sum” thinking in recent years, pointing the finger at powerful forces that thrive on division — and he tagged Nicki directly, saying she rejects that mindset. So apparently no beef between J.D. and Nicki!

ICYMI — while praising Donald Trump and conservative leadership during Sunday’s sit-down with Erika Kirk at Turning Point USA’s summit, AmericaFest, Nicki pivoted to Vance and accidentally referred to him as “the assassin” … but immediately realized the mistake.

One glam tourist is counting her lucky stars after a massive wave suddenly swept her off her butt at a popular coastal hotspot … and the terrifying moment was caught on camera!

Check out the early-December scare — the woman visiting from China was perched on a cliff opening at Egypt’s Matrouh Eye when a monster wave came barreling in and blasted her straight into the Mediterranean.

In the final split second, you see her head pop back up in the backwash … she later told reporters she somehow made it to shore by clinging to a safety rope at the site.

Donovan Joshua Leigh Metayer survived the horrific 2018 Parkland school mass shooting … but he took his own life recently after a long battle with schizophrenia, according to his sister.

Nancy Metayer Bowen posted a tribute to Donovan on Facebook, revealing her brother died by suicide on December 15 after struggling with schizophrenia for 7 years.

Donovan was diagnosed with the brain disorder after Nikolas Cruz, 17, went on a rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on February 14, 2018. Cruz, wielding an AR-15-style rifle, shot to death 17 students and staff members and injured 18 others. Donovan was a senior at Marjorie Stoneman at the time of the shooting … and managed to make it out of the school alive.

In her Facebook post, Nancy thanked everyone who had given their love and support to her grieving family. She said she’s listened to their voicemails and seen their messages and is “deeply grateful for every expression of remorse.”

Nancy went on to say her family is launching a mental health fund in Donovan’s name, expanding access to mental health services, especially for those who need it most. She’s asking people to consider supporting this effort with a donation.

Donovan was 26.

RIP
