Televangelist Rev. Jimmy Swaggart has died at the age of 90, just two weeks after suffering a heart attack at his home in Baton Rouge. According to the Shreveport Times, the scandal-ridden preacher never regained consciousness following the June 15 medical episode.
“Today, our hearts are heavy as we share that Brother Swaggart has finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of His Savior, Jesus Christ,” his family said in a statement released Tuesday.
Now—this is going to sound a little strange—but I could have sworn Jimmy Swaggart had already passed away. For real. I remember vividly the infamous moment from my childhood: Swaggart standing tearfully on television, declaring, “I have sinned.” That clip was everywhere. And somewhere along the way, I was sure the next big headline I saw about him was his obituary. But apparently… no. Not until now.
And yes, I know some of you are going to say, “You’re just thinking of Jerry Falwell.” But no, I’m not. I know the difference between Falwell, Bakker, and Swaggart. I remember them all—like a holy trinity of televangelist drama from the ‘80s.
This whole thing feels like a real-time Mandela Effect. Like history just shifted under our feet. I mean, I don’t want to be morbid, but if we see news of his passing again in a few years, someone please bookmark this post so we can prove he already died in 2025.
Rest in peace, Reverend Swaggart. For real this time. (I think?)

Val Kilmer dead at 65
al Kilmer, who played Bruce Wayne in Batman Forever, channeled Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s The Doors, and gave us an unforgettable Doc Holliday in Tombstone, died Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 65. His daughter Mercedes confirmed to The New York Times that the cause was pneumonia. Kilmer had been battling throat cancer for several years.
His reps haven’t issued a statement yet, which is understandable. The family is now facing that surreal, disorienting moment that comes with losing someone—especially someone as larger-than-life as Kilmer.
When Val Kilmer was tapped to play Batman back in the ’90s, he was at the height of his fame. He was a Hollywood heartthrob and one of the defining faces of that decade. His portrayal of the Caped Crusader was met with mixed reviews at the time—but in hindsight, it really wasn’t bad at all. Especially when you remember what came next: George Clooney’s nipple suit. Kilmer might not have been Keaton, but he was a solid bridge during a strange era for the franchise.
What makes Kilmer’s passing especially sad is knowing how hard the last several years were for him. He suffered immensely, losing his voice and health to throat cancer. And yet, he still showed up when he could—his brief but emotional return as Iceman in Top Gun: Maverick was a powerful reminder of his talent and resilience.
Rest in peace, Val. Thanks for the memories.

Carter, the 39th U.S. president, served one term in office from 1977 to 1981. Though often considered a weak president due to economic challenges and foreign policy struggles during his administration, Carter was widely admired for his decency, honesty, and commitment to public service.
After leaving office, Carter dedicated his life to humanitarian efforts, founding the Carter Center, which focused on advancing peace, democracy, and global health initiatives. His work earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Carter’s life was filled with stories–including one of a UFO sighting long before it was en vogue to admit that.. his account of seeing a UFO in 1969 before becoming president raised eyebrows.. The event made him one of the most prominent figures to publicly acknowledge witnessing something that..
Jimmy Carter leaves behind a legacy of humility, service, and an unyielding belief in the power of humanity to achieve good. He will be remembered not just as a former president but as a beacon of integrity and compassion.
