🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Marsha Blackburn is catching MAJOR HEAT for refusing to debate her Republican opponents in the 2026 Tennessee Governor race. Tennessee State Representative and Army veteran Monty Fritts is calling out both Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Rep. John Rose, labeling them “intellectually shallow” for dodging public debates. Fritts says voters deserve to see the candidates face off on the issues instead of hiding behind name recognition and big fundraising. Tennessee Republicans are demanding real transparency and substance in this primary — not more Washington-style avoidance. 🎥The Tennessee Holler Monty Fritts Marsha Blackburn Congressman John Rose

“It is not a correct statement — we have not done any forums on stage together… she’s not a good debater, that’s why she doesn’t want to do this…” Sen. Marsha Blackburn again called out for LYING that there were forums in the GOP primary, as she takes Republican voters for granted.

When Sen. Marsha Blackburn was first elected to Congress, I ran against her. I received a participation trophy, and she became a Congressman. Let me be very clear about one thing: You ain’t had an ass whoopin’ until you’ve had a Marsha Blackburn ass woopin’! This weekend Sen. Blackburn won big in the Republican Party of Shelby County’s Gubernatorial Straw Poll at the Germantown Festival. I think there’s a reason for that. Getting a handle on our crime challenge is the TOP priority for Republicans in Shelby County, and Senator Blackburn’s determination to get federal resources here to help us is not going unnoticed. That’s why I’m asking Shelby County to support Senator Blackburn for Governor. Marsha Blackburn We need a tough conservative who is already doing the work in the US Senate to help us #MakeMemphisMatter! A Governor Marsha Blackburn will be an important partner who will continue her efforts to tackle the crime challenge in our great city. I’m just getting started and am working on new tough-on-crime legislation to keep routine and violent criminals behind bars and to hold our judicial officials accountable. After all, we have a city to save! Trusted. Conservative. Leadership.

Elle Fanning is only 27 but her filmography is already longer than most actors double her age. She’s also now an #Oscar nominee for her work in Sentimental Value- a film I love. I’m excited to see where Fanning goes from here & where she takes her career. The sky’s the limit.

WATCH: Why did Congressman Thomas Massie offer a woman he had sex with an envelope full of cash? Cynthia West clarified. Former Congressional staffer and Thomas Massie ex girlfriend Cyntax Cynthia West tells me how Massie tried to buy her silence with $5,000 cash and how he once offered her $10,000 cash in an envelope during their relationship. She tells me she never deposited the money but says Massie uses what she calls “cow money” under the table. “I’m not a transaction…I gave him the envelope back with the $10,000 in a Cracker Barrel parking lot… because I’m not a transaction,” she told me. This is further evidence she’s not speaking out for money, because she never took the $15,000 from Massie or the $60,000 from Rep. Victoria Spartz as a settlement. Cynthia West is in this for truth and accountability, not money, as her detractors are saying.

Let’s get something straight, y’all: I’m not perfect. I’m a Christian. But I’m not a good one. I believe in Jesus 100%. But I cuss like a sailor. I’m quick to anger. I’ll throw these hands. I’m absolutely riddled with sin. If I get past the pearly gates, I’ll wind up on the Southside of Heaven where folks are listening to Bocephus and drinking moonshine. And I’m okay with that. Here’s what I’m not okay with: I’m not okay with someone being disrespectful to me or anyone else, especially in an instance like this. For those of y’all who don’t know Renatta, you should go follow her. She’s inspirational. She makes me want to be a better Christian. She’s full of love and light. Her disability? It’s insignificant. Renatta is often attacked by people on the left. Folks call her the r-word for standing up for her beliefs. Yeah. The all accepting left… picking on a woman for not fitting their standard of normal. Anytime I see it, my heart breaks. It makes me angry. I worked with special needs kids throughout middle and high school. Autism is rampant in the younger generation of my family. My nephew? He’s non-verbal. So when Cory here decided to attack me in her comments rather than on my turf? It made my teeth itch. Why would you attempt to change the conversation away from such a touchy subject? Who does that? I blocked him. But Cory? He tracked down my email. Don’t be like Cory, y’all. Be better than Cory. Be better than me. Be like Renatta.

⚡️ Melat Kiros: Arms Embargo and Rejecting Corporate PACs Are the Price of Our Votes Melat Kiros, the democratic socialist who unseated 15-term Rep. Diana DeGette in Denver on Tuesday, told CNN she will not vote for any Democrat for a leadership position who takes corporate PAC money, a “standard” she believes the Democratic Party should be setting moving forward. She acknowledges it would also apply to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Kiros is also emphasizing an arms embargo on Israel as a baseline demand of the incoming left bloc. “If enough of us share that commitment to Medicare for All, to ending corporate capture, to an arms embargo, we should absolutely say: here are our conditions,” she told Axios. “If you want our votes on leadership, on appropriations, this is what it costs.” A full embargo, she told Colorado Public Radio, “is the opinion of the vast majority of Democratic voters.” Until this cycle, Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee, and Ilhan Omar had stood alone among lawmakers in demanding a full embargo; Kiros and the wave of DSA-backed primary winners aligned with her are moving it to the center of their bloc’s agenda.

🚨 Iran is in the driver's seat in the war the U.S. chose to start w Iran, and they aren't looking for a symbolic settlement. Professor John Mearsheimer (John Mearsheimer) warns that the current U.S. strategy has forced Tehran into a corner where survival is the only priority. He states, “The United States and Israel represent an existential threat to Iran,” leaving no room for diplomacy. Because of this, in order to agree to a negotiated end to the war with the United States, “the Iranians are going to drive a hard bargain. They'd be crazy not to.” From the removal of U.S. military bases from the region to the status of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is looking to “get everything they can in terms of concessions. The stakes for the Middle East conflict have never been higher as the specter of languishing in another forever war looms. 📽️ Watch the full breakdown on Daniel Davis Deep Dive here: 👉 #MiddleEastConflict #Mearsheimer #Geopolitics #NationalSecurity #StraitOfHormuz #DeepDive #ForeignPolicy #ForeverWar #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews

Last night, I stood in the Senate to address the serious issues that led to Senator Thorpe’s suspension. I’ve endured constant attempted intimidation and abuse from Senator Thorpe, including being called a “white colonialist” and told to “go back where you came from.” Her behaviour has been a stain on the Senate, the heart of our democracy, where robust debate should take place without aggression and verbal abuse. It’s astonishing that the Greens, who claim to champion workplace safety for women, voted against the motion and turned a blind eye to the treatment I’ve faced. What am I, if not a woman deserving of the same respect and protection? The hypocrisy is astounding. I hope Senator Thorpe takes this as a wake-up call. She has been given a privileged position in this Parliament, a chance to represent Australians fairly and respectfully. It’s time she used it to unite, not divide. This is an important debate about the integrity of our Parliament, and so, in addition to my words, a link to the full debate is included here:

My response to Congressman Andy Ogles. I have advocated for years in support of the nuclear family. I believe there is a push on the left to erode the nuclear family, and we see that birth rates are at an all-time low. However, saying “homosexuality has no place in America” is the type of intolerant rhetoric we see on the left where they exclude and silence people. I have felt respected and embraced by the Republican Party. I am booked to speak at Republican events often. I advocate for American values. We currently have the highest ranking gay cabinet member in history, Scott Bessent. He was not chosen because he is gay, but based off of merit. That’s how it should be. These types of broad statements will only turn off independent and right-of-center voters heading into the midterms. I respect those who do not believe in gay marriage, as I don’t need the people around me to be 100% aligned with who I am. We have religious freedom and liberty in this country. There are folks who watch my content, but don’t agree with me on everything. That’s fine! However, saying I have “no place in America” is a mistake. It’s certainly not what President Trump or this administration believes either. 🇺🇸

Denied Service at Leon’s Steakhouse in Longview After RSVP for Greg Abbott + Jay Dean Event | Full Video Proof 👀⚖️🇺🇸 I’m posting the full video for one reason. Transparency. ⚖️ My father, Don Nichols, and I RSVP’d to attend the Governor Abbott and Jay Dean event at Leon’s Steakhouse in Longview, Texas. We showed up early. We took our seats. We sat there silent. We were minding our own business. No scene. No shouting. No confrontation. No “acting up.” Just two East Texas voters waiting like everyone else. 👀 Then I was singled out. Not because of anything I did. Not because I was disrupting anything. But because they “knew who I was.” Watch the video and listen to the words. You’ll hear multiple statements that don’t line up. You’ll hear the part where they admit I have done nothing wrong, while still putting the warning on me alone. You’ll hear the part where they say they are not doing this to anyone else. That is the discrepancy. If I did nothing wrong, why was I the only one approached. If the rules apply to everyone, why was the warning not applied to everyone. If this is about behavior, why was it based on identity. ⚖️ Here is what matters most. I asked questions calmly. I stayed compliant. I stayed non-violent. And when I was told to leave, I left. I did not escalate. I did not argue. I did not raise my voice. I complied, even though I did not agree with being targeted. 🇺🇸 This video shows how easy it is for a citizen to be treated differently in public for no reason other than who they are and what they are known for. That should concern every person in East Texas, regardless of party. Because if it can happen to me while I’m sitting quietly, it can happen to anyone the moment they become “inconvenient.” Longview, Gregg County, East Texas, watch the video. Then decide for yourself what you just witnessed. 👀

Floor-crossing MP Lori Idlout is even worse than we thought Remember when Lori Idlout crossed the floor? Yeah, that was bad. Nunavut voters elected her as an NDP MP by just 41 votes. A handful of families changing their minds would’ve flipped the result. Then she handed that seat to Mark Carney’s Liberals anyway. A quiet deal in Ottawa that erased the choice voters made. But now we know more. It turns out Lori Idlout wasn’t just playing politics. She was also billing taxpayers for purchases from her own business. House of Commons disclosures show four transactions in 2025 tied to her company, Carvings Nunavut, totalling about $1,756. That includes multiple smaller purchases and one larger one just under $1,400. Only after media questions did she suddenly realize this was a problem. Her explanation? It was an “error.” Right. Because apparently, running purchases from your own company through your parliamentary expense account just… happens. And we’re supposed to believe this wasn’t noticed until reporters started asking questions? She paid it back. But let’s be very clear about what that means: she didn’t stop — she got caught. Now zoom out because this is where the pattern matters. Idlout’s own ethics disclosures show she has full ownership of Carvings Nunavut and full ownership of Nunavut Holdings. She’s also listed as a director in federal corporate records. Long before this expense scandal broke, there were already serious questions about federal money flowing to companies connected to her interests and her household, including sole-sourced contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars while she was a sitting MP. After all of that, she crosses the floor to join the very government that controls those contracts. If you tried to design a textbook example of how public office and private interest can collide, you’d struggle to make it clearer than this. As long as everything is technically within the rules — rules written by the same political class — nobody in power wants to pull the thread. But Canadians aren’t stupid. They can see the sequence. Win as an NDP MP, have business interests tied to government money. Bill your own company through taxpayer expenses, call it an “error” after getting caught. Then cross the floor to the governing Liberals. And the people of Nunavut are stuck with it. If Lori Idlout thinks this is all above board if she truly believes she still has the confidence of Nunavut, then there’s a simple test: resign, run again as a Liberal and defend her record to voters. Because right now, she’s holding a seat she didn’t win under the banner she’s serving. REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

It's kind of wild to find out that the Republican in the NYT story that says she had a toxic relationship with Graham Platner is Lyndsey Fifield. Having been in DC for too long, I know a decent number of people who know her quite well. For a long time she was the co-host of a podcast with her best friend Bethany Mandel, called Ladybrains, though she has also worked for multiple super PACs, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Heritage Foundation. Some background, presented without judgment: In 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years. In 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor. The NYT breezed past all this, saying she was "a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns." In an interview for a news outlet called Red Alert Politics that named her to a “30 under 30” list back in 2016, she said that she wanted to “emulate the late conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart’s approach to online activism.” Breitbart, known for pushing the boundaries when it came to political combat, is perhaps best remembered for having exposed Anthony Weiner’s penchant for sending nudes to young girls, and for his work elevating James O’Keefe. That she worked for Independent Women's Forum recently is even wilder since IWF played a critical role in Kavanaugh's confirmation and in persuading Collins to support it. Heather Higgins, chair of IWF, laid out the group’s role in a talk several years ago. “We wrote a memo. It was used by a lot of members of the Senate and the House, Fox News, and elsewhere. Most important, Susan Collins told me that without that memo, she would not see how to support him,” Higgins said. “And if you look at the speech she gave on the Senate floor, it’s entirely the playing out and architecture of how we said to structure the argument — what to say and how to say it, which is just so gratifying. We’re watching TV and we’re like, ‘That’s ours! That’s ours!’” Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then. Apparently this is the kind of thing the NYT thinks is important now, so I guess it requires more reporting. I'll report back. Here is Heather Higgins celebrating IWF's role in getting Susan Collins to confirm Kavanaugh:

That she worked for Independent Women's Forum recently is even wilder since IWF played a critical role in Kavanaugh's confirmation and in persuading Collins to support it. Heather Higgins, chair of IWF, laid out the group’s role in a talk several years ago. “We wrote a memo. It was used by a lot of members of the Senate and the House, Fox News, and elsewhere. Most important, Susan Collins told me that without that memo, she would not see how to support him,” Higgins said. “And if you look at the speech she gave on the Senate floor, it’s entirely the playing out and architecture of how we said to structure the argument — what to say and how to say it, which is just so gratifying. We’re watching TV and we’re like, ‘That’s ours! That’s ours!’” Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then. Apparently this is the kind of thing the NYT thinks is important now, so I guess it requires more reporting. I'll report back. Here is Heather Higgins celebrating IWF's role in getting Susan Collins to confirm Kavanaugh:

Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin on the prospect of having Democrats vote to confirm him (or not) for DHS secretary and Kristi Noem being fired... “[Senator] John [Fetterman] already texted me, and, of course, you guys know John and I are friends, too, so I don't know. We are going to try to earn everybody's vote. I want people to understand, I'm not — when I go into this position, yes, I’m a Republican, yes, I’m conservative, but the department of homeland security is to keep everybody — regard this if you support me or if you don't support me or if you don’t support me or regardless what your thoughts are, I’m here to enforce the policies that Congress passed, and I — right now, I’m part of it, but once I make that transition, my focus is to keep the homeland secure. That’s going to be my focus and — and we’re super excited about this opportunity.” “I’m going to have a conversation — if — if Mr. Schumer wants to sit down and talk with me, I’m going to sit down and talk to him, I want to try to earn their support and I’m going to be very open and honest with them, and at the end of the day, all I can do is do my job. And so, I don’t — I’m not going to get in the tit-for-tat, but if they have real concerns, I’m going to listen to it. I’m going to see if it’s practical. But nothing is going to prevent me from doing my job. I’m going to enforce the policies and laws that Congress has passed and we’re going to protect our homeland.” “Listen, Kristi is a friend, and I haven’t had time to call Kristi — or Secretary Noem yet. Our families are friends. She was — she was tasked to do a very difficult job, and I think she has — she has performed the best she can do underneath the circumstances. Is there always lessons to be learned? You know, listen, my wife and I, we have — over the years, we have been fortunate enough to purchase companies and grow our companies and, every day, there is something you can do better. And so, I think there’s — there’s an opportunity to build off successes, and there is also opportunities to build off things that may be didn’t go quite as planned.”

Kerre Woodham has flagging ratings. And it’s no wonder. Yesterday she discussed the Govts performance. She’s always been very critical of NZFirst, so it was interesting how she handled a series of calls & txts from listeners saying they are going to move their vote to NZFirst. Woodham dismissed this as simpletons being wooed by WP’s “war on woke” to which she asks “what is woke?… it’s just a word people use to say they don’t like your opinion” she then continued “I don’t want to lose woke, I’m a fan of drag queens and you guys aren’t” which elicits a text she deserves. Maybe soon Grenon will put her out to Pasture, she’s radio land dead weight. The issue isn’t Drag Queens themselves it’s Drag Queens AND Children (as If she didn’t know). When is the last time she went to a drag queen story time ? Ah that’s right it’s only for kids and not middle aged liberal women. Hell Kerre is even looking like a drag queen herself these days. Kerre should take that as a compliment if she loves them as much as she says she does. ZB is as out of touch as the Nats on cultural issues and you hear it everyday. A farmer calls in and says he is disappointed with Luxon & Willis, “Seymour hasn’t helped himself, Act is ok but NZFirst is the shining light” Woodham stays silent. A 65 year old txts into say she is surprised at herself but will be voting NZFirst for the first time and a 19 year old who vote for the first time next year says they are voting for NZFirst. A truck driver calls in “Winston Peters and Shane Jones we know where they stand on issues - Luxon stands for nothing”. Middle NZ is repudiating progressive politicians - including those from the right, and that’s why Winston Peters & NZFirst have momentum. Politics is and always has been downstream from culture. The longer National and Act ignore that fact by continuing to gorge themselves on woke garbage philosophy the more market share an old fashioned and commonsense party will seize on their continual steady rise in the polls.

WOW. NBC’s Chuck Todd succinctly in two and a half minutes describes The Alignment in real time to viewers with the new Trump coalition adding working class Hispanics with a focus on the economy and education, not “Latinx”: Todd: Iowa pollster Ann Selzer “thought she found something with...independent women...I don’t know if it’s enough to make up for the loss of voters of color that have — clearly — I mean, that is — that continues, to me, to be the big story of the night is the shift among Hispanics. Look, Hispanic voters are swing voters and I think, you know, what's interesting here it is the Republican Party treated them the same way they treated white, working class voters. They courted them the same they treated white, working class voters. The Democratic Party has spent a lot of time treating it as an identity group. And, you know, whether it's latinx, which sort of fell flat and so, there’s been a lot of hand-wringing inside Democratic circles. A real split like, you know, it was a total misread sort of by the coastal strategists when it comes to how to target working class voters of color. And I think we’re starting to see sort of a working class coalition start to drift to the right. You know, before, Donald Trump had working class whites. Now? He’s adding working class Hispanics and working class — not necessary seeing evidence of working class African Americans — but adding working class Hispanics. That becomes a very durable majority...It doesn’t matter your ethnicity. It matters your education...Latino voters, in many ways, same — are driven by the same issues and there’s one issue in particular actually that Republicans align closer with Latino — or Latino voters align with conservative — with conservative party and that's school choice. And that has been -- and you can't help but wonder both Florida and Texas has been aggressive about expanding school choice. Where have Republicans made the greatest gains amongst Hispanic voters? Florida and Texas. So, education and economy, those issues — bread and butter issues and that is how they talk to them. Not saying Democrats weren't, but for the sort of cultural issues don't play as well with Hispanic voters as they may with college-educated whites or even African Americans.”

Majority of UCP voters support independence: poll She says she is a federalist. She is not campaigning for Alberta to leave Canada — she's been clear about that. But she is also not turning around and attacking the people who are talking about it. That is not an accident. One look at the numbers and you'll understand why Premier Danielle Smith is walking this line the way she is. According to exclusive polling commissioned by Act For Alberta, and full disclosure, I am the point of contact for that third party advertiser, roughly 60% of United Conservative Party voters say they would vote to leave Canada. Not think about it. Not flirt with it. They would vote to leave. That is not fringe. That is the base. These are the people who built the party, who knocked on doors, who trusted conservative leadership to fight for Alberta. And that brings us to disgraced former UCP premier Jason Kenney, Smith's predecessor. Because he chose a very different path. He calls separatists names. He mocks them as kooks and radicals and crazies, in vicious Trudeau-esque internet tirades. He derided the very people who worked so hard to get him elected in the first place. People who gave him a chance to do it his way. And what did that approach deliver? Nothing tangible. No meaningful reset with Ottawa. No shift in the relationship. No results that matched the promises. So what happened? Those same voters started looking elsewhere. Not because they suddenly changed who they were, not because they are no longer Conservatives, but because they felt ignored, dismissed, and taken for granted. The old ways of strongly worded letters and lawsuits over jurisdiction have never worked. There are no pipelines, no control over immigration, no civil liberties the feds wouldn't crush if given a chance. Smith is not making that mistake. She is reading the room, and when this many people are this frustrated, you do not lecture them. You do not insult them. You do not pretend they are a problem to be managed or berated. You listen. You acknowledge where they are at, and you let the conversation happen. This is bigger than separation. This is about trust. Trust that Alberta’s concerns are being taken seriously. Trust that political leaders are actually hearing the people who put them in power. Smith holds her position. She says she believes Alberta is better off in Canada. But she is not trying to shut down the people who disagree. She is not attacking her own base, because she understands something her predecessor did not. You do not keep support by ridiculing the people who gave it to you. You respect them, let them speak, and you deal with reality as it is, not as you wish it would be. REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

🚨BREAKING: ICE is human trafficking a U.S. Army Black Hawk pilot’s wife…and DHS is lying about it. Stephanie Carolina Kenny came to the United States in 2021 seeking asylum from Venezuela. She was processed and released into the U.S. and has complied with every ICE check-in. In 2023, she was granted Temporary Protected Status, and her asylum hearing was scheduled for 2027. She has no criminal record and has lived here continuously and lawfully under the terms given to her. She is the definition of “doing it the right way.” While building her life here, she met and married Chief Warrant Officer 2 Christopher Busby… an 11-year U.S. Army veteran and Black Hawk pilot who recently flew presidential security missions in 2025. Then, on December 5, 2025, she did exactly what she had always done… She showed up to her routine ICE check-in, and the government locked her up. They detained the wife of a man who has served this country for over a decade… Not because she broke the law, not because she is a danger… But because they can. At her bond hearing, the DHS attorney admitted he had not even reviewed her case file… and still argued she was a “flight risk,” pointing largely to the fact that she had recently gotten married… as if building a family and strengthening community ties somehow makes someone more likely to flee. Stephanie has been in the United States since 2021 and followed every rule they gave her. There is no legitimate reason to detain her. But, the Trump administration did it anyway… Because detention beds are funded and facilities are paid per head… the longer someone stays inside, the more money flows through that system. So, in other words… The Trump administration is human trafficking an Army veteran’s wife. And now, the Black Hawk pilot who served this country for over a decade, including protecting the President, is forced to beg the federal government to release his wife from a detention system that had no justification to take her in the first place. To this day, she remains in a Houston detention facility where she has lost at least 20 pounds, and the guards increase abuse as her case gains more publicity. When compliance leads to detention, lawful status means nothing, and the government admits it didn’t even review the file before arguing to keep someone locked up… the message is undeniable: Human trafficking is the goal. And they will keep trafficking her, for as long as they can get away with, unless people speak up.
