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...

At the end of this year, Gov. DeSantis will be term-limited out of his job. What better way to spend his time than by traveling the country, promoting a Balanced Budget Amendment using Article V? He wouldn’t be running against Vance, or Rubio, or Newsom or any Democrat. He’d be running against Congress. If we get five more states, for a total of 32, Congress may propose an amendment itself.

Alex Vindman, who became a key player along with his twin brother in President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, announced on Tuesday that he is running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in Florida. Vindman, an Army veteran, was serving on the National Security Council in 2019 when the Republican president pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate Joe Biden, then a Democratic candidate. He and his brother, Eugene, a lawyer on the National Security Council, reported their concerns and sparked investigations. Eugene Vindman now serves as a congressman from Virginia. If Alex Vindman clinches the Democratic nomination, he’ll challenge...

Duval St. at West Jefferson Street in the LaVilla area.

You don’t have to be a law enforcement officer to find yourself unwelcome in a healthcare environment subverted by moonbats. On social media, registered Florida nurse Erik Martindale has publicly declared his intention to deny anesthesia to Republicans: “I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for MAGA. It is my right, it is my ethical oath, and I stand behind my education. I own all of my businesses and I can refuse anyone!” As his fellow nurse Lexie Lawler learned, until Democrats consolidate power we are not at the point where healthcare professionals can openly proclaim this...

🚨 FLORIDA SHERIFF GRADY JUDD LAYS THE HAMMER ON THE LEFT: "If you allow anarchists and criminals to run wild in your community, people will die. People will be shot!" "We had a single man resist ICE agents and get away from them in our community. We sent a helicopter, a drone, canine, and 50 law enforcement officers to surround an area and we found that guy who violently resisted ICE and we locked him up in jail where he SHOULD HAVE BEEN." It should be like this in ALL 50 STATES, in every county, every city and every town!...

BOCA RATON, Fla. (CBS12) — A labor and delivery nurse at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital is no longer employed after a TikTok video surfaced that appears to show her making graphic and violent comments about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who recently announced she is pregnant. The video was posted by a woman identified as Alexis “Lexie” Lawler.

Fourth-degree tears extend through muscle...

For the few delusional Miami Dolphins fans holding out hope the franchise would run it back one more time with Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill … it's probably time to officially put that to bed. Now, I'm a Dolphins fan, sadly. Have been my whole life, sadly. I am not, however, a delusional one. I want the whole thing burned to the ground, and that's what they appear to be doing. New GM, new coach, and a new era. The team made sure to point all of this out in its latest social media blast.

The Ohio nurse who wished White House Press Secretary to suffer a severe 4th degree tear during childbirth has been fired. In a viral video, the nurse, identified as Chanda Petrey-Czaruk, graphically wished that Leavitt suffer traumatic injuries during childbirth. “My wish for Karoline Leavitt, she is pregnant with a baby girl,” she says in the video, “and I truly do hope that baby is so healthy.

The Governor believes the states can compel action, while Congress won't act without pressure. Gov. Ron DeSantis is about as far away as possible from the back-and-forth of Florida’s Legislative Session, imploring lawmakers in the Rocky Mountains to make moves instead. But those moves, he says, are in the national interest. Thursday finds the soon-to-be term limited Republican returning to Idaho to again call for a federal Balanced Budget Amendment, part of the Balanced Budget Campaign supported by all Republican Governors. After spending the day meeting with legislators on the issue, the Governor was flanked by Idaho Senate President Pro...

Miami club owners who vowed to probe Nick Fuentes’ Nazi night out revealed to have partied with far-right revelers instead. A Miami nightclub solemnly vowed to investigate after a group of white supremacists and accused sex-traffickers were given VIP treatment and danced to Kanye West’s song “Heil Hitler” while enjoying bottle service. But Page Six has learned that the club’s owners were partying with the vile posse. A group of extremists partied at a Miami nightclub called Vendome this weekend. @Antunes1/X At least it should make the investigation easy! Over the weekend, video circulated of reviled internet personality Nick Fuentes,...

In the run-up to the 2016 Democratic Party convention, FBI Director James Comey gained access to at least eight thumb drives containing large volumes of former Secretary Hillary Clinton’s sensitive State Department emails – as well as some from President Obama – that appeared to have been compromised by foreign hackers. Instead of investigating the explosive new batch of evidence revealed in recently declassified documents, Comey rushed ahead to close an investigation into whether Clinton improperly transmitted and received classified material from a private, unsecured server she kept in her basement. Comey also took the extraordinary step of bypassing the...

Cameron Kasky came to national attention as a student activist at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school after the tragic shooting there in Parkland, Florida in 2018.His first notorious turn on CNN came on Jake Tapper's screechy anti-conservative town hall, where he said then-Sen. Marco Rubio reminded him facially of the Parkland mass shooter, Niklas Cruz. Kasky has attempted emulate his fellow student at that school, David Hogg, and grift off the Parkland anti-gun halo. He recently attempted to run for Congress in New York but quickly withdrew from that race and somehow ended up as a first time panelist on...
