New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill called on Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell — her handpicked second-in-command — to resign Thursday night after a bombshell sexual harassment investigation revealed he tried to get his girlfriend promoted, made a revolting sexual comment to a staffer, and ignored repeated warnings over his inappropriate behavior. The explosive 61-page report released Thursday paints a picture of a politician run amok, detailing how Caldwell, 66, used his taxpayer-funded position to score expensive event tickets for his romantic conquests, pull strings to try to get his secret girlfriend a cushy state promotion, and task his own aides with...

Pope Leo XIV told reporters they were welcome to cover him Friday, as he responded to the Trump administration’s attempt to bar U.S. media from the White House and affirmed the importance of journalists covering public figures. Leo spoke to reporters as he travelled

Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon became a media superstar after going public with his AI fears. He insisted that he wasn't working with any third party organizations. Familiar sources told us a different story: DEY., a PR firm representing many of the most prominent AI safetyists, was booking his interviews.One source, who had direct knowledge, even said DEY. preemptively booked Nate Soares, a prominent AI safety figure, for interviews that directly overlapped with Jacob going public.Jacob working with DEY. is notable for two reasons: first, as mentioned, he previously said he wasn't working with third parties. Second, we are in...

A week ago Cliff Ellis, the caddie for erratic PGA Tour player Alejandro Tosti, stormed off the course in the middle of the opening round of the Biltmore Championship in Asheville, N.C. Now, the sordid details have emerged — courtesy of The Morning Q golf blog — in a he-said he-said feud that spilled over after several troubled months on the course together. SNIP Tosti, 30, also had repeated outbursts on the course as the missed cuts built up. Ellis said that Tosti “went crazy” multiple times during the opening round of the Rocket Classic, when he shot a miserable...

Daily Readings from the USCCBOnce when Jesus was praying in solitude, and the disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, ‘One of the ancient prophets has arisen.’” Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said in reply, “The Christ of God.” Luke 9:18–20Today’s Gospel presents a decisive moment of revelation. As Jesus prays in solitude with the Twelve nearby, He asks, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” After hearing their responses, He...

This video features commentary on recent tensions between the Trump administration and mainstream media outlets like CNN and MSNBC regarding access to White House events. Key takeaways so far (0:00 - 2:06): The video begins with a discussion regarding press freedom and the role of the media in holding the government accountable, featuring clips from Brian Stelter and Jen Psaki (0:00-0:47). It then shifts to a critique of the media's reaction to being barred from covering a state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, with the host arguing that the media feels an unwarranted sense of entitlement to access (2:14-4:00)....

My latest song. Time to get blue.

Sign in Y’all Have Lost Your Minds With These Church Praise Breaks! What Do The Scriptures Say W/ Pastor Rod and The Bible Told with Pastor Rod Y’all have lost your minds with these church praise breaks! When did shouting, praise dancing, and cutting a step become all the proof we needed that the Holy Spirit was moving? Put somebody in a church building, get the musicians going, and suddenly nobody is allowed to question anything. We need to have an honest conversation about praise breaks, church culture, and what people keep calling worship. I’m not questioning whether God deserves...

The Associated Press should be ashamed. Just two days ago, they were the recipients of a Community Note after their X post conveniently omitted some important facts about the murder of Tasia Fortune.Fortune, of Jackson, Mississippi, was found hanging in a tree. Democrats and the media pretended Fortune's murder was a race-based lynching. It wasn't. On September 14, the AP itself reported that Jarques Ratliff, who was associated with Fortune, was arrested on September 11. Yet on September 21, the AP wrote on X that Fortune's death "stirred distressing memories of the grim history of lynchings across the U.S. South."Now...

The map of our solar system has changed. For most of history, we viewed our neighborhood as a tidy, organized place. We thought it was a simple system with eight planets orbiting a star, surrounded by a clean void. We assumed there was a clear finish line where the solar system stopped and "deep space" began. The Kuiper Belt proves that this model is wrong. The solar system does not have a hard edge. It does not just end. Instead, it fades away into the galaxy. What we once thought was empty space is actually a massive, chaotic frontier. It...

In our post-Oct. 7 world, one in which the New York Times can note in astonishment that some Israelis still view themselves as victims of the worst single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, a story about a Jew being chased through the streets of a major Western city is unfortunately not that surprising.I've already written about a couple of cases this year. A man who noticed a couple in Santa Monica, Calif., wearing Jewish stars while he was driving threatened to kill them, yelling: “You’re a Zionist, motherf***ing pedophile, motherf***ing Jew. Child killer!” It didn't end there. He got...

It's the headline I've waited since I was probably seven years old to read: "US military spending $500M on ‘war-ready’ laser weapons — and zapping drones in Iran, along US border." That's 50 years, folks, and totally worth the wait.According to the New York Post — your go-to newspaper for words like "zapping" in the headline — "Iranian citizens have witnessed some dazzling laser shows recently," because "US military has been deploying lasers in the Strait of Hormuz to knock out regime hardware."The Department of War said this week that lasers disable "drones and incoming cruise missiles at a much...

County health officials spray neighborhoods and skip the question of why the outbreaks keep coming Los Angeles County is now reporting 100 West Nile virus cases this year, nearly five times the total recorded for all of 2025, with 94 hospitalizations and five deaths. The numbers come from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and were highlighted Thursday by FOX 11’s Matthew Seedorff.

I've avoided the Nikole Hannah-Jones pile-on, in which conservatives (and other sane people) have trashed the former New York Times columnist and liberal icon for condemning her daughter to a poor education in order to score political points. I didn't do so because I didn't have thoughts. I did. Plenty of them. I just wasn't certain I had anything to contribute to the pile-on beyond "What a bad mother, that lefty." I was pretty certain that my colleagues would step up to the plate, and they did, beautifully. Ten years ago, New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones wrote a viral...

"Take . . . the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Eph. 6:17). Your attitude toward Scripture will determine your effectiveness in spiritual battle. I remember enjoying the observations of a perceptive man who was gazing at a beautiful garden. First he saw a butterfly flitting from flower to flower. It spent a few seconds on the edge of each, but derived no particular benefit from any of them. Next he saw a botanist with large notebook and microscope in hand. As the botanist carefully observed each flower and plant, he made copious entries in his...
