Second lady Usha Vance announces historic pregnancy: ‘Our family is growing!’

Second lady Usha Vance announced that she was pregnant with the fourth child of Vice President JD Vance.

The second lady posted a statement from the vice president on social media Tuesday.

‘We are particularly grateful for the military doctors who take excellent care of our family.’

“We’re very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy. Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are all looking forward to welcoming him in late July,” the statement reads.

“During this exciting and hectic time, we are particularly grateful for the military doctors who take excellent care of our family and for the staff members who do so much to ensure that we can serve the country while enjoying a wonderful life with our children,” he added.

The two have been married since 2014 after meeting at Yale University and have two boys, Ewan and Vivek, and a daughter named Mirabel.

Many congratulations and blessings were sent to her from prominent politicians, some of whom pointed out that the child would be the first to be born to a sitting vice president.

“Congratulations!” replied Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas). “This is great news. Children are a gift from God.”

“Children are such a blessing, and this baby boy is blessed to have both of you as his parents,” responded Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee.

Congratulations to our friends … on this wonderful news! Abraham and I are thrilled for you and your family,” replied Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Don Lemon reveals he doesn’t understand the First Amendment in anti-ICE church invasion

If you thought Don Lemon’s fall from grace was over — that he had hit the bottom and the only direction he could possibly go was up — then you would be wrong.

Lemon dug his hole a little deeper when he broke into a Minneapolis church service alongside a group of ICE protesters, one of whom claimed that the church “cannot pretend to be a house of God while harboring someone who is directing ICE agents to wreak havoc upon our community and who killed Renee Good.”

“A weird accusation, right, that a pastor at the church is running a part of ICE? A local chapter of ICE? … What was fascinating about that is, first of all, you might know that even if he happens to be working for the federal government in some capacity, that does not make it OK to go and ransack his church or interrupt a service,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere comments.

“Also, the guy wasn’t even there,” he adds.

While Lemon and the protesters appeared very confident that storming a church full of worshippers was their right, Stu points out that “you are not actually able to do what they did.”

“I mean, you can physically do it, as they, I guess, accomplished, but you can’t legally do what they did. We have a very strong tradition, of course, in this country of the right to protest. That is something that is fundamentally ingrained in our society and something that’s very important for us to protect,” he explains.

“That being said, we also have one that, you know, gives you freedom to exercise your religion and to worship. And the problem with all of this, of course, is you went in there with your loud chanting and stopped people from their ability to execute their First Amendment right,” he continues.

“Those things bump into each other, and the law is very clear on which side wins when those two do bump into each other,” he adds, pointing out that the DOJ is already vowing to press charges after the activists’ and Lemon’s actions.

However, Lemon doesn’t appear to understand this.

“Don Lemon’s a moron. OK? We’ve known this for a very long time. Don Lemon’s an idiot. But Don Lemon also thinks he knows something about not only civil rights, but also apparently the First Amendment, which he knows nothing about,” Stu says.

And the disgraced former news anchor made this clear when he interviewed the pastor of the church.

“This is unacceptable. It’s shameful. It’s shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship,” the pastor told Lemon.

“But listen, we live in, there’s a Constitution and the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest,” Lemon tried to argue.

“We’re here to worship Jesus. Because that’s the hope of these cities. That’s the hope of the world is Jesus Christ,” the pastor responded.

“I will say, Don, again, I mentioned this before, is an idiot,” Stu says, adding, “and that’s a problem for his analysis on the First Amendment. The First Amendment does not, very much not, allow you to go into a church service and disrupt it and prevent people who are in the middle of executing their First Amendment rights to be able to worship.”

Texas fugitive wears hoodie with chilling message on it amid arrest in connection with woman’s ‘suspicious death’

A Texas fugitive was dressed in a hoodie with a menacing message on it amid his arrest in connection with what authorities called a woman’s “suspicious death.”

The Azle Police Department said in a statement that it had worked with United States Marshals, Texas Rangers, the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division, and the Parker County Special Crimes Unit to locate and arrest Kruz Dean Wanser on Jan. 15.

‘She will be remembered for her creativity, humor, and the unwavering love that radiated from within her.’

Police said Wanser was a “wanted fugitive, who was sought in connection to the suspicious death of 37-year-old Margaret Pennington.”

Police said Pennington was found dead inside an Azle residence on Jan. 11.

“At this time, the cause of death is still pending,” law enforcement stated; the Tarrant County Medical Examiner is conducting the autopsy.

Police on Jan. 12 announced that Wanser was a “person of interest” in the suspicious death investigation and offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Police said Wanser was arrested three days later and charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair a human corpse, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, and parole violation.

In his mugshot, Wanser wore a blue hoodie with the following message on it: “I will put you in a trunk and help people look for you. Stop playing with me.”

Police did not reveal any relationship between Wanser and Pennington and did not name a motive for her death.

According to Tarrant County court records the New York Post reviewed, Wanser was charged with evading police with a vehicle in 2021 and drug possession in 2022 and in July 2025.

Pennington’s obituary states she was “deeply loved by her family and friends.”

“Margaret had a creative and sentimental spirit. She found comfort in baking, crocheting, enjoyed music, had a keen interest in genealogy, and loved collecting vintage treasures that carried history and meaning,” her obituary reads.

Pennington is survived by her mother, father, former husband, and his three children, and she “cherished her role in helping raise” the kids.

“Margaret’s life was a tapestry of complexity, yet she embodied the essence of humanity and the profound love she shared,” the obituary reads. “She will be remembered for her creativity, humor, and the unwavering love that radiated from within her.”

The obituary cites 1 Corinthians 13:4, 7: “Love is patient, love is kind. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Police are urging anyone with information about the case to contact them at 817-444-3221.

While police don’t mention Wanser’s hoodie message in their Facebook post, plenty of commenters sure noticed it. The following are but a few of the more than 1,000 reactions:

“You know that saying, ‘Dress for the job you want, not the job you have’ really applies here,” one commenter wrote.”I don’t know if what the hoodie says can be used as evidence, but please find DNA on it and photograph it as evidence so it at least makes it into the court documents,” another user said.”I mean, have we checked the trunk?” another commenter asked.”Sometimes jokes write themselves…” another user observed.”The hoodie is not a good look bud,” another commenter stated.

Iron MAGA? Comedian Chris D’Elia rants that in ‘real life,’ Marvel heroes would all vote GOP

Captain America and Iron Man would be feigning progressivism in public while secretly voting Republicans down the ballot, according to stand-up comedian Chris D’Elia.

D’Elia was discussing political influence in television shows with fellow comedians Erik Griffin and Brendan Schaub when he presented his theory.

‘Wolverine! Cyclops! Professor X, hello?!’

The trio said that while some TV shows simply have entertaining characters that happen to be gay, the “gay agenda” becomes evident when certain storylines are forced.

Team Trump

“What I do think they do do, though, is with their big shows, they try to figure out how to put gay characters in it, or trans characters,” D’Elia said on “The Golden Hour” podcast.

This led D’Elia to theorize that even though superheroes are “all woke in the movies,” they are definitely voting Republican at the ballot box.

“What superhero would be left-wing?! They wouldn’t. They have so much power,” D’Elia said, launching into a signature screaming tirade.

“Jarvis, what’s up with this f**kin’ trans s**t?!” he joked, mimicking actor Robert Downey Jr. in “Iron Man.”

“You know the real Captain America would be f**king Republican, secretly voting for Trump. And you know Iron Man would be talking to Jarvis about f**king woke bitches, dude!” he continued.

Stable genius

Griffin prompted D’Elia to explain which members of the X-Men he feels are Republicans, which had the New Jersey native yelling into the microphone.

“Who’s Republican, dude? Wolverine! Cyclops! Professor X, hello?! You think he’s out there — in his mind, he’s like, ‘But secretly, f**k these woke, white liberal women.’ Killing them left and right, dude, with his brain.”

Griffin — known for his work on shows like “Workaholics” — calmly delivered his thoughts about when shows go too far with their political agenda. The 53-year-old explained that shows have jumped the shark when they become “an after-school special” that has a political lesson to teach.

“To me, that’s the agenda thing, is when you’re trying to control how people think about stuff,” he said.

This inspired Griffin and Schaub to develop an idea for a new filter on platforms like Netflix, where users can opt out of seeing transgender or overly gay content.

“They just need a filter,” Griffin explained. “Like, more than just age filter, right? What if they had a ‘gay agenda’ filter?”

Schaub put a stamp on the topic and said that while he certainly enjoys a lot of new shows, “with the gay narrative, just leave it all out of the kids’ stuff. But for the grown-ups, dude, you’re a grown-ass person.”
