DJ Daniel: Heartbreaking New Diagnosis for Teen Cancer Survivor Who Won President Trump's Heart and Was Sworn in as Honorary Secret Service Agent
Devarjaye "DJ" Daniel's family has shared heartbreaking news about a new diagnosis, just months after the brain cancer survivor won the hearts of millions of Americans by being sworn in as an honorary Secret Service agent by President Donald Trump. His family revealed that he has developed more tumors and is fighting a hard battle for survival. DJ, who was given just five months to live after being diagnosed with terminal brain and spine cancer in 2018, has "three new tumors," his father, Theodis Daniel, told Fox 7 Austin last week. DJ gained global attention earlier this year when Trump singled him out him during the State of the Union address and honored him as an honorary Secret Service member. Fighting for His Life "It's rough, there isn't a class that can teach you how to deal with it. You're hearing that your child has a nasty disease," the heartbroken father said. "We're just going around showing people, hey, you do care for one another. Let's give compassion and let's try to join and help each other get through things," he added. The young boy has been on a mission to be sworn into as many law enforcement agencies as he can, while he and his family work to spread awareness about his illness. He's now close to reaching his goal of being officially sworn in by 1,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide — a feat that could earn him a spot in the Guinness World Records. He already holds several records, such as receiving the highest number of "keys to the city" and having the most official "proclamation days" in his honor. The county sheriff's office marked his 1,351st swearing-in ceremony, with his remarkable journey also taking him to six other countries where he was honored in similar fashion. Mission Continues Despite Life-Threatening Disease After being honored by the Secret Service, DJ got calls from law enforcement agencies all over the nation, including a call from Deputy Jeffrey Combs of the Williamson County Sheriff's Office in Texas. "I saw Theodis pick his son up. I felt that unconditional love, and I just knew I had to find DJ, so it all worked out," he told FOX 7 last week. The teenager has remained cheerful and positive — at the Williamson County ceremony, he playfully rubbed the deputies' bald heads for good luck, according to reports. He showed the same lively spirit during another recent swearing-in held in Polk County, Florida. "I'll keep going until my gas tank runs out, and that's when God calls you home," Daniel told officers. "The craziest thing is on my 11th brain surgery, God told me I was one of his angels and I'm doing God's work. "On my 12th brain surgery, he gave me my wings, but he told me I'm going to take these back until you graduate the school called life."

Hunter Biden spotted parking rental car in South Africa in first public appearance since dad Joe's cancer reveal
Don't forget to bring it back clean! Hunter Biden, once accustomed to being chauffeured in an armored SUV, was spotted in South Africa Friday parking a rented Toyota hatchback, according to Fox News. Hunter's stroll through Cape Town — with his wife, South African-born Melissa Cohen Biden, and son, Beau, in tow — marks the first time the former first son has been seen in public since his father, former President Joe Biden, revealed he is battling 'aggressive' prostate cancer.

Trump revoked Hunter's taxpayer-funded Secret Service detail in March, days after the scandal-scarred former first son was spotted flanked by Secret Service agents vacationing in South Africa when he was due for a deposition in court. Advertisement 'There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!' the president fumed in a Truth Social post announcing the revocation of Hunter's Secret Service security privileges. Hunter's outing also appears to be his first time he's been seen in public since his father's cancer diagnosis. Former President Joe Biden, 82, revealed earlier this month that he is battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer, which has spread to his bones. 3 Biden's first photo alongside wife Jill after his prostate cancer diagnosis.

The speech, which fell on the 10th anniversary of the death of his son Beau from brain cancer, marked the former president's first public appearance since revealing his own cancer battle.

Crazy Burger to appear on Gordon Ramsay's new TV show this fall
NARRAGANSETT, R.I. (WPRI) — It looks like Rhode Islanders are going to have to wait until the fall to see a popular Narragansett burger joint featured on national television. Crazy Burger Cafe and Juice Bar first stepped into the spotlight when Food Network star Guy Fieri stopped by to film an episode of his hit TV show 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' back in 2009. Nearly two decades later, the beloved restaurant is making waves once again. This time, however, Crazy Burger will be the focus of an upcoming episode of 'Gordon Ramsay Secret Service.' Ramsay was spotted in Narragansett last month filming at the eatery, which fueled rumors that it was going to be revamped and refreshed by the celebrity chef. Instead, it appears Ramsay tricked Crazy Burger into being on his brand new series in which he visits restaurants under the cloak of darkness to assess their behind-the-scenes operations. RELATED: Crazy Burger duped into new Gordon Ramsay show The so-called 'clandestine missions' are not only facilitated by Ramsay, but also a 'secret source on the inside' who gives him a closer look at each restaurant. Though 'Secret Service' officially premiered May 21 with Ramsay's visit to The Parthenon in Washington, D.C., Crazy Burger's episode isn't set to air until Sept. 12. Ramsay is best known for his Michelin-starred restaurants, as well as his hit TV shows Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares and MasterChef. 'Secret Service' has a similar premise to his hit show Kitchen Nightmares, in which he visits struggling restaurants across the country to help them 'turn their luck around' with his trademark tough love and culinary experience. Crazy Burger first opened in 1995 and is best known for its eclectic menu of specialty burgers, breakfast, smoothies and appetizers. It also boasts a fresh juice bar with more than a dozen different flavors. Download the and apps to get breaking news and weather alerts. Watch or with the new .

Secret Service whistleblower said Biden would ‘get lost in his closet' at the White House: Sen. Josh Hawley
A Secret Service whistleblower claims that former President Joe Biden was so out of it at the White House that he would 'get lost in his closet,' Sen. Josh Hawley revealed Friday. The stunning level of disorientation is an example of why the Democratic cover-up of Biden's mental decline is one of the biggest scandals in presidential history, Hawley argued. 'This Secret Service whistleblower actually was assigned to Biden,' the Missouri Republican told Fox News host Sean Hannity. Advertisement 'He told me that Biden used to get lost in his closet in the mornings at the White House,' Hawley claimed, noting that he spoke to numerous Secret Service agents while investigating the assassination attempts against President Trump. 'I mean, the guy was literally stumbling around in the White House,' Hawley continued. 'The president couldn't find his way out of his own closet. 'This is outrageous. We were lied to.'
