    Ambassador Herschel Walker posted a viral video urging Americans to avoid jet skis in the Bahamas, but its odd tone led to jokes it was a *Saturday Night Live* sketch. Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy has issued repeated warnings about deadly crashes, sexual assaults, and unlicensed operators tied to jet ski rentals. The bizarre contrast between Walker’s delivery and the serious advisory has fueled speculation about his message’s intent.

    What's confirmed:
