A Republican opponent is challenging Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s eligibility to run for governor of Alabama, accusing the football coach-turned-politician of not meeting the legal requirement to have lived in the state for seven years. Ken McFeeters, who is running against Tuberville for the Republican nomination for governor, filed the challenge Tuesday with the Alabama Republican Party. McFeeters in a phone interview said he believes Tuberville lives in a multimillion-dollar beach home in Florida instead of a smaller home that he has listed as his residence in Auburn, Alabama. Property tax records show the former Auburn University football coach has a...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Wednesday that a labor and delivery nurse has been barred from practicing in the state after posting a viral video wishing physical harm on White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “Effective today, Lexie Lawler is no longer allowed to practice nursing in Florida,” Uthmeier stated on X, confirming that the Florida Department of Health has moved to revoke her license. The action follows a prompt review by Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital, which terminated Lawler last week after she shared an expletive-filled video wishing for Leavitt to suffer a “severe...

VIDEOImagine being splattered by a mystery liquid substance tossed by someone who looks and acts like a mental case. What would be any normal person's reaction? How about AT THE VERY LEAST washing that liquid off and/or immediately getting out of your soaked clothes. However Ilhan Omar remained perfectly calm and continued giving her speech which made Krystal Ball gush over what a hero Omar was without the least bit of skepticism over how calm she remained.Don't miss the end of the video bonus in which Steve Kane Radio Show co-host Brian Craig puts on his Sherlock Holmes cap and...

Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, two of the most powerful military leaders in China, are now officially in custody. Rumors have buzzed in the Chinese diaspora for days, but the speed still comes as a shock; usually there’s a far longer gap between the detention of leaders and the official announcement of their fate. The crux of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) political language is not what it says, but when it says it—and to whom. People’s Liberation Army (PLA) mouthpieces have accused Zhang and Liu of having “seriously trampled on and undermined the system of ultimate responsibility resting with the...

The Loss of the Sense of Sin Is Intimately Connected to the Loss of DoctrineThe following guest post is by Dominic J. Grigio, author of The Disastrous Pontificate: Pope Francis’ Rupture from the Magisterium.During the Most Holy Mass for the Inauguration of his Pontificate, Pope Benedict XVI said something quite remarkable, ‘Pregate per me, perché io non fugga, per paura, davanti ai lupi — Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves.’[1]The wolf is a powerful Christian symbol for wickedness and deceit within the Church, especially among those exercising pastoral leadership such as popes, cardinals,...

This is really good, brilliant.

In the midst of ICE horror, the Senate needs to prohibit Trump from using ICE as a voter suppression tool. Senate Dems need to put into the approps bill a prohibition on ICE agents being near polling places. This is a must have. Last chance to do this.

A federal judge in Oregon dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit seeking Oregon’s unredacted voter rolls on Monday in another setback to wide-ranging efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to get detailed voter data from states. In a hearing, U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai said he would dismiss the suit and issue a final written opinion in the coming days. The updated docket for the case showed that Oregon’s move to dismiss the case was granted. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield welcomed the move. “The court dismissed this case because the federal government never met the legal standard to get these...

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson admitted Wednesday he was “in regular communication” with other mayors leading so-called “sanctuary cities” in efforts to impede enforcement of federal immigration laws. President Donald Trump called for an end to “sanctuary cities” in a post on Truth Social Monday, following a series of shootings, two of them fatal, that took place in Minneapolis involving Department of Homeland Security personnel engaged in immigration enforcement operations. Johnson said during a press conference at the National Press Club he’d been talking with Democratic Mayors Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Michelle Wu of Boston about how to combat...

New York’s Jeffrey Deitch apologized to artist Miles Greenberg after an ascendant rapper staged an event at the gallery that appeared to draw upon a performance done in the same location in 2021. The musician, Lexa Gates, promoted her new album by walking for hours inside a giant wheel at Jeffrey Deitch on January 14. Titled The Wheel, Gates’s performance was meant to “reinforce the message of persistence, emotional resilience and forward motion that acts as the central theme of the record,” according to the event’s official description. Her related album, I Am, has received coverage from such outlets as...

Key takeaways: CISA’s interim head Madhu Gottumukkala uploaded sensitive “for official use only” documents into the public version of ChatGPT, triggering security alerts despite the tool being blocked for other DHS employees. Although the materials were not classified, experts warn that using public AI tools poses real risks because uploaded data can be retained, breached, or used to inform responses to other users. The incident adds to growing turmoil at CISA, where Gottumukkala’s leadership has sparked internal backlash, staffing losses, and concerns over judgment and governance. SNIP

I don't know how long it's been since I watched an actual late-night "comedy show." I suppose I gave that up when Jay Leno went off the air. And I'm not about to break any news here — we all know how awful they've become. There's no comedy anymore, just political rhetoric, lame jokes, and celebrity a**-kissing, inflating already inflated egos. That said, clips from these darn things keep showing up in my social media feeds, and I felt the need to share my pain with someone, so I chose all of you, PJ Media readers. You're welcome. Maybe you...

Bruce Springsteen has responded to the recent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis at the hands of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection agents with a new song titled "Streets of Minneapolis." You can listen to the song and read the lyrics below. "I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis," Springsteen wrote on Facebook. "It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti...

We’ll begin by acknowledging the counterarguments:Tom Brady won a Super Bowl without Bill Belichick as head coach; Belichick never won a Super Bowl as head coach without Brady. (Although he won two Super Bowls as the Giants’ defensive coordinator.) Yes, the spectacle of his teenybopper girlfriend is a weird look for a 73-year-old, no-nonsense head coach. Going 4-8 at the lowly University of North Carolina screams, “The game passed him by.”All of the above are true. (Especially #1: In the NFL, Willies and Joes matter FAR more than X’s and O’s — and if you don’t believe me, consider the...

Turlockers continue to show support for Iranian protesters. Joe Cortez, Turlock Journal, Jan 28, 2026 — ... protesters in Turlock, with friends and family still in Iran, paint a far more harrowing picture. “When I spoke to my friend (Saturday), he told me that it’s over 60,000 that have been killed,” said Turlock’s Raymon Galavan, who came to the U.S. from Iran in 2006. “People are protesting for freedom with nothing in their hands, and they’re being killed with (military-grade) bullets. And the people who are in hospitals, they take them out and they kill them on the street, and...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated his assertion that Israel will not allow Gaza’s reconstruction before terror groups in the Strip disarm, and said Israel would maintain security control over Gaza and the West Bank “Now we are focusing on completing the two remaining missions: dismantling Hamas’s weapons and demilitarizing Gaza of arms and tunnels,” “As I agreed with President Trump… there are only two possibilities: either this will be done the easy way, or it will be done the hard way, but in any case, it will happen,” Netanyahu said of disarmament. “I am already hearing the statements that we...

Meet Amelia. A new conservative symbol and reaction image, she started out as the antagonist from Shout Out UK's government-funded Pathways visual novel/web game. For many people, Amelia does not belong as a villain in a computer game. Interestingly, Pathways was taken off its proprietary site for some time on January 14, This was because the British government temporarily removed it some time ago, as the internet had a field day and anything she did became a meme. The Amelia meme artists were doing a little trolling and pointing out the absurdity of the government... In Pathways, Amelia befriended audience...

Combative rap queen Nikki Minaj called herself President Trump’s “number one fan” Wednesday — declaring defiantly that MAGA haters only make her sing his praises louder. The “Super Bass” songstress flashed her signature glittery, two-inch nails as she held Trump’s hand and urged fans to defend him against “smear campaigns” at a Treasury Department event. “I am probably the president’s number one fan, and that’s not going to change,” Minaj, 43, said after Trump, 79, invited her to speak at a summit touting new investment accounts for children. “And the hate or what people have to say, it does not...
