An Indiana state senator sparked an uproar online after posting AI-generated images of himself clobbering Santa Claus in front of cheering fans on Christmas day — then mocked outraged critics as “snowflakes.” Sen. Chris Garten, a two-term Republican, shared four faux photos to his official X page of him in a sleeveless suit pummeling, kicking, and body slamming a terrified St. Nick in a crazed beatdown on the steps of the Indiana State Capitol as onlookers celebrated and waved “Garten for Indiana” signs. Another snap shows the Senate Majority Floor Leader riding a reindeer in a bare-armed Santa outfit and...

"The road, trees, houses and even ourselves were bathed in a blinding phosphorescent-like glow which had its center in a bright streak in the sky above us," highway construction superintendent Leroy Milhan of Centerville, Michigan, would recall in a paper published the following year. "It passed over us toward the west. Immediately came a muffled report or jar that shook houses and the very earth like an earthquake." The following day, the Washington Times reported that "telegraph and telephone communications and electric lighting plants in several cities in southern Michigan and northern Indiana are out of commission" as a result...

John Robert Wooden was born in Martinsville, Indiana, on October 14, 1910. While attending high school in Martinsville, he won All-State prep honors in basketball three times while leading them to the State title game in his sophomore, junior and senior seasons. In 1927, his high school team won the State title.

The team said they are not asking for state taxpayer dollars, but are still seeking a commitment to local infrastructure and reasonable property tax certainty.

A DoorDash worker who was caught on a doorbell cam spraying a mystery substance on a delivery order bizarrely claimed she was only aiming at a spider. Kourtney Stevenson is seen on the Dec. 7 footage delivering Arby’s to the doorstep of an Indiana home, taking a confirmation picture — then calmly spraying an aerosol substance onto the bag. After identifying her, authorities in Indiana charged the driver with two counts of battery resulting in moderate injury and two counts of consumer package tampering. Stevenson was arrested in Kentucky and will be extradited to Indiana.

Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza has won the 2025 Heisman Trophy, beating out Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia and Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin. The Hoosiers shot-caller became the first Indiana player to win the award. Mendoza was instrumental in IU's historic regular season, steering the Hoosiers to a 13-0 record, the program's first outright Big Ten championship since 1945 and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. He led the country in passing touchdowns (33) and is the third Big Ten quarterback since 2000 with three straight games of at least four passing...

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun (R ) on Thursday said he would help President Trump primary Republican state lawmakers who voted against a redistricting measure backed by the leader. “I am very disappointed that a small group of misguided State Senators have partnered with Democrats to reject this opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps and to reject the leadership of President Trump. Ultimately, decisions like this carry political consequences,” Braun wrote in a post on the social platform X. ‘I will be working with the President to challenge these people who do not represent the best interests of Hoosiers,” he...

Thank you Indiana! /max sarcasm Democrats everywhere want to offer their most sincere thank you to the Republicans in the state of Indiana for saving 2 democrat House seats. Those unselfish efforts will certainly help ensure that Hakeem Jeffries will be the new Speaker of the House, and they will be able to stifle/obstruct President Trump in his last 2 years. In addition, it will also help in their promised Impeachment efforts. Thank you, again, Indiana Republicans—democrats will be eternally grateful and will never forget your willingness to sacrifice your party loyalty and help move this country further to the...

The Indiana Senate on Thursday voted down a plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts to produce two more GOP-friendly seats, rejecting President Donald Trump’s months-long campaign to pressure the Republican supermajority in the deep-red state to bend to his will. The 31-19 vote saw 21 Republicans join 10 Democrats in voting down the proposed map that would have positioned the GOP, which currently holds seven of Indiana’s nine US House seats, for a sweep of all nine seats in next year’s midterm elections. The vote comes with significant ramifications for the 2026 midterm elections as some Democratic- and Republican-led...

President Donald Trump suffered a major political setback on Thursday in his push to pass congressional redistricting in red states. After months of arm-twisting by the president, top allies and aligned groups, the Indiana Senate voted down a new map championed by Trump that would have created two more right-leaning congressional districts in the solidly red Midwestern state, where the GOP controls seven of Indiana's nine U.S. House seats. The districts of Democratic Reps. Frank Mrvan and Andre Carson would have been eliminated. The vote in the chamber was 31-19, with 21 Republicans joining 10 Democrats in voting against the...

Thursday the Indiana Senate will vote on redistricting. There are about a dozen RINO’s that plan to vote with the democrats to oppose it. It will be a close vote, and it looks like the Republicans might lose. If the RINO’s get their way, they are helping to elect Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House, and stifle the President’s efforts the last two years.. I have made several calls, please call,,,in particular, also call the President of the Senate, Rodric Bray.

INDIANA MOVES TO IMPEACH "ROGUE" JUDGES & PROSECUTORS: FINALLY, REAL TEETH FOR PUBLIC SAFETY Indiana Rep. Andrew Ireland filed a proposed constitutional amendment to let the state legislature impeach judges and prosecutors who go soft on violent offenders. Repeat killers or rapists get slaps on the wrist, and now lawmakers could boot the enablers out the door. The push? It's aimed square at spots like Marion County, where critics say DA Ryan Mears has let folks with rap sheets, like the IndyGo bus arsonist, walk free, spiking fear in neighborhoods. Ireland's bill would expand impeachment beyond just "high crimes" to...

It looks like Indiana's Republican-led legislature is set to consider redistricting in the coming weeks. President Trump posted to Truth Social:It looks like the Indiana Senate Republicans will be coming back in two weeks to take up Redistricting, a very important initiative to balance out the Democrats’ endless “Sue to Blue” and Census rigging strategy that has stolen seats from Republicans, and given them to Democrats who would not have them if they played fairly. Radical Left Democrats have rigged the game for a long time — Remember, until the GREAT Speaker Newt Gingrich, Democrats controlled the House for 40...
