Trent Sweeney, the brother of actress Sydney Sweeney, celebrated a promotion he received from the U.S. Air Force with a crack about “good jeans” — a reference to an ad featuring his sister that has gained the ire of leftists.

On Thursday, Trent posted to his Instagram stories about recently earning his promotion to staff sergeant. In the story, Trent quipped, “It’s them good jeans,” according to a screenshot obtained by Fox News.

Sweeney recently took on an avalanche of hate from the Left for posing in an American Eagle Outfitters ad campaign about “good jeans,” which uses a play on both good genetics and a good pair of blue jeans. Critics said the ad was Nazi-coded and racist, since Sweeney is white and has blonde hair and blue eyes.

The actress has refused to buckle under the criticism, and American Eagle has stood by its campaign.

The Right has championed the campaign for shaking off “woke” messaging, and praised Sweeney for not graving to unreasonable critics on the Left.

Trent, 29, also published a general post to his Instagram account about the promotion. “I’m excited for this next step in my career and thank everyone that’s been a part of it so far,” he wrote.

His sister “liked” the post.

In the wake of the Left’s backlash toward Sweeney, left-wing site BuzzFeed reported on the actress’ apparent political party affiliation as a Republican.

The Daily Wire reviewed records that show a Sydney B. Sweeney is a registered Republican in Florida. The middle name of Sweeney, the actress, is reportedly Bernice.

Additionally, the date of registration is June 2024, the same time it was reported that the actress Sweeney purchased a 13.5 million dollar home in Summerland Key, Florida. The registration reviewed by The Daily Wire named Summerland Key as the city.

When President Donald Trump was asked about the report, he delighted in the news.

“She’s a very hot actress right now,” he said. “She’s a registered Republican? … Oh, now I love her ad.”

“Is that right? Sydney Sweeney?” he continued. “You’d be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That’s what I wouldn’t have known. But I’m glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”

A Texas mayor was caught on video using disturbing language berating a Christian preacher at a LGBT festival, video shows.

Jim Ross, the mayor of Arlington, Texas, targeted the preacher during a 2023 LGBT event. The shocking moments were captured by Vice, though Ross’s face is blurred and the footage has just now been uncovered by The Dallas Express.

Ross claims he’s a moderate, but routinely pushes race-based and gender-based initiatives and has promoted LGBT “pride.”

“I believe y’all can have free speech. But this is some hateful s*** and I am a heterosexual guy,” Ross says in the footage, speaking to preacher Ruben Israel, who has since passed away.

“You stand out here like you are a b*da** motherf***er,” the mayor continued. “You don’t think anal sex is good, do you? Have you ever f***ed your old lady in the a**? I’d f*** your old lady in the a**.”

Ross was not done, however. He called Israel a “p**** mother***er” and told him, “Shut your a**, shut your a**, you little piece of s***. You ought to talk s***, these people around here are having a good f***ing time.”

At the time of the confrontation, Ross was serving as mayor of Arlington, and currently holds the same position.

Tarrant County GOP Chairman Bo French said Ross needs to resign “immediately” over the conduct.

Tarrant County Republican Precinct Chair TK Campbell, also speaking to The Dallas Express, said Ross’s unprofessional behavior mirrors that of prominent Democrats, who’ve clung to cursing as an apparent political strategy.

“The now Mayor of Arlington’s vile, profanity-laced rant at the late Ruben Israel, a Christian street preacher, is a disgrace,” Campbell said. “Perhaps the mayor was stressed out because of not being able to pay his taxes of late, but his unprofessional conduct mirrors the worst of today’s cursing Democrats. Leadership demands better.”

Campbell’s comments regarding taxes seem to reference Ross recently having his wages garnished by the IRS. According to The Dallas Express, Ross owes $940.39 in penalties and interest and has an outstanding debt of about $175,000.

During his tenure as mayor, Ross has created advisory councils based on race, religion, and identity, including black, Asian, Latino, Muslim, and LGBTQ.

In 2023, Ross defended the forums during an NAACP event. “You have to have a black advisory council because, folks, black people are not the same. Did y’all know that?” he said, according to KERA News. “Latinos are not the same. Asians are not the same.”
