The attorney for a 62-year-old grandmother who was arrested for wearing an inflatable phallic costume to a No Kings protest says her constitutional rights were violated.

Police bodycam video showed Renea Gamble trying to walk away from a police officer before he grabs her and tosses her to the ground at a protest in Fairhope, Alabama, on Oct. 20, 2025.

Gamble’s attorney argued that her right to wear an inflatable phallic costume to protest the president was enshrined in the Constitution.

The Fairhope Police Dept. said the officer requested that she take off the costume, which was deemed offensive in a public setting, and she allegedly refused.

“I’m not going to sit here and argue with you,” Col. Andrew Babb says in the video. “If my kids had to come by and see this, how would you explain it to them?”

Gamble was holding a U.S. flag as well as a sign with another phallic reference.

“This is a family town, and I’m not going to have somebody out here dressed like this. You understand?” Babb added.

Police said she was initially charged with misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct as well as resisting arrest. They later added a charge of giving officers a false name because she allegedly told police her name was “Aunt Tifa” when asked to identify herself.

She was also charged with breaking a city ordinance related to disturbing the peace.

Gamble’s attorney argued that her right to wear an inflatable phallic costume to protest the president was enshrined in the Constitution. The bodycam footage was released by Gamble’s legal team and published by WKRG-TV in its news report.

At a later protest, a woman wearing a purple eggplant costume appeared and made a reference to the fake name used by Gamble.

When her attorney was asked whether Gamble was out protesting again before her court hearing, he did not confirm or deny the report.

“Several people were dressed in eggplant costumes,” attorney David Gespass said to AL.com. “My only concern about people exercising their First Amendment rights is authorities violating them. That is why the National Lawyers Guild has its legal observer program.”

A Philadelphia-area male is accused of stabbing a Planet Fitness worker multiple times amid an altercation last week that reportedly occurred after he was banned for an unpaid bill.

Just after 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Cheltenham Police and emergency medical services responded to a Planet Fitness at 1000 South Easton Road in the Wyncote section of Cheltenham Township after a report of a stabbing, police said.

Officials said bail was denied, and Massey was taken to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility pending further court proceedings.

A male suffering from multiple stab wounds was found and taken to an area trauma center for treatment for life-threatening injuries, officials said.

A preliminary investigation determined that the victim is an employee of the Planet Fitness and was stabbed during an altercation with an individual who previously had been banned from the gym, officials said.

Responding police officers caught a suspect a short distance away, officials said.

Arrested in connection with the incident was 28-year-old Davier Massey of the 7600 block of Rugby Street in Philadelphia, officials said.

WPVI-TV reported that Massey was banned Wednesday over an unpaid bill but returned to the gym twice Thursday and caused a disturbance.

Investigators told the station it was during the second visit that the altercation escalated, and the employee was stabbed multiple times.

Massey was charged with first-degree attempted murder, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, terroristic threats, criminal mischief, harassment, and disorderly conduct, officials said.

Officials said bail was denied, and Massey was taken to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility pending further court proceedings.

The Cheltenham Police Department is continuing to investigate the incident, officials said, and those with information or who may have witnessed the incident are asked to contact Cheltenham detectives at 215-885-1600 or policetips@cheltenhampa.gov. Tipsters can remain anonymous, officials added.

President Donald Trump said someone leaked sensitive information about a downed pilot in Iran, and the administration is going to hunt that person down.

The president made the announcement while speaking from the White House on Monday about the rescue of two pilots of an F-15E Strike Eagle that was hit and crashed in Iran.

‘We think we’ll be able to find it out because we’re going to go to the media company that released it, and we’re going to say, ‘National security, give it up or go to jail.”

The president said the rescue of the pilots was a major victory for the U.S. and a humiliation for Iran, before making the comments about the alleged leaker.

“As you probably know, we didn’t talk about the first one for an hour, and then somebody leaked something,” the president said.

“Which, we’ll hopefully find that leaker. We’re looking very hard to find that leaker. … They basically said that, ‘We have one, and there’s somebody missing.’ Well, [Iran] didn’t know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information,” he added.

The pilots were successfully rescued over the weekend, and the incident was reported Friday.

“So whoever it was, we think we’ll be able to find it out because we’re going to go to the media company that released it, and we’re going to say, ‘National security, give it up or go to jail,'” Trump continued.

“And we know who and you know who we’re talking about,” he added. “‘Because some things you can’t do because when they did that, all of a sudden the entire country of Iran knew that there was a pilot that was somewhere on their land that was fighting for his life.”

He said the leak made it much more difficult for the team sent out to rescue the second pilot.

The Hill reported that among those who first reported the leaked information were the New York Times, Axios, and Fox News.

Some noted that the rescue of the pilots coincided with the Christian religious calendar, both in the downing on Good Friday and the rescues reported on Easter Sunday.

Last week, President Trump announced the dismissal of Pam Bondi as the U.S. attorney general.

BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler was ecstatic when she heard the news.

“The American people voted for President Trump because we want justice … and Attorney General Pam Bondi prosecuted zero of the big abuses against us. Zero,” she says.

On this episode of “The Liz Wheeler Show,” Liz revisits the former AG’s biggest failures in her 14-month tenure.

“Dr. Fauci lied to the Senate — to Senator Rand Paul, to be specific — during COVID in addition to just abusing his position in government. Was he prosecuted for that? Not by Pam Bondi,” Liz begins.

She then moves on to the Russiagate scandal.

“Obama and Obama’s cronies manufactured a fake intelligence assessment falsely accusing President Trump of colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election. … Tulsi Gabbard gave Pam Bondi proof of that, and we’ll see what’s to come out of Florida, but it’s not thanks to Pam Bondi,” she scoffs.

Liz lists out several other scandals the former AG failed to prosecute, including:

The “Ukraine impeachment,” in which President Trump was accused of pressuring Ukraine to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden in exchange for U.S. military aid in 2019. The targeting of parents who “did not want their children being indoctrinated with critical race theory in school” by FBI agents. The targeting of Project Veritas journalists who “[investigated] Ashley Biden’s diary” by FBI agents.

But these examples just scratch the surface.

“What about the FBI labeling Catholics as extremists? No accountability,” Liz continues. “What about January 6? Do you remember January 6 — the ‘Fedsurrection’ — and the due process violations? No indictments from Pam Bondi.”

She also brings up the evidence uncovered in the Twitter files that revealed extensive coordination between the Biden administration and Big Tech companies to suppress content on controversial subjects such as COVID-19, vaccines, and the 2020 election. To this day, neither Biden nor anyone in his administration has faced any personal legal consequences for what many view as a clear violation of the First Amendment.

“What about the raid on Mar-a-Lago? What about all the abuse that happened at the NGOs that was exposed by DOGE? What about Antifa? I thought they were a domestic terror group. What about all these other violent left-wing transgender groups?” Liz rails.

But she still isn’t done.

“What about Roy Singham, the American billionaire who acts as a mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party who sends his money to fund left-wing violent riots in the United States?” she asks.

Liz then turns her fiery gaze on the left-wing politicians who she believes are deserving of the DOJ’s intense scrutiny: “What about all the lawfare against President Trump himself by Alvin Bragg and Fannie Willis and Leticia James? What about Ilhan Omar and her naturalization fraud? Zohran Mamdani and his naturalization fraud?”

And last but certainly not least, Liz reminds us of Bondi’s crowning failure: The Epstein files.

“She lied repeatedly about the Epstein files, even though she had not read the actual files, even though she was talking about them publicly but didn’t know what was in them because she’s click-thirsty. She craves attention and adulation,” she rants.

“The Epstein files represent justice to the base — the justice that we voted for when we voted for President Trump,” she continues.

While Liz is thrilled that Bondi is finally out of the picture, she argues that her dismissal should have happened “400 days” ago.

To hear more of Liz’s scathing commentary, watch the video above.

The Trump administration’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, led by Vice President JD Vance, reported that it has shut down hundreds of hospices and health care providers over a 10-week period.

Vance’s task force, established by presidential executive order on March 16, has been working with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to crack down on health care fraud.

‘Remember, none of this fraud could happen unless California issued these licenses.’

CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz told Fox News Digital on Thursday that 221 hospice and health care providers in Los Angeles County had been suspended.

“We’ve shut down already, just in the last 10 weeks, 221 hospices in California,” Oz told Fox News Digital, noting that all of the entities were located in Los Angeles.

“We’re able to dramatically accelerate a process that had been meandering along in California,” Oz stated.

Roughly a third of the nation’s hospices, 1,800, are located in Los Angeles, according to Oz. He stated that the administration believes it will shut down half of those entities.

“The administration’s war on fraud once again yields results as more suspensions take place and fraudsters face justice for ripping off hard-working Americans and stealing their tax dollars and social services,” a spokesperson for Vance told Blaze News. “The vice president and his task force are proud of these latest figures and expect to see this number continue to grow dramatically.”

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office responded to the administration’s latest efforts to suspend hospices accused of fraud.

“Glad the federal government is finally stepping up to do their part,” his office wrote. “State has been taking action for years, including suspending 280+ licenses & banning new licenses since 2022.”

First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli told Fox News Digital that California has “not taken fraud seriously for over a decade.”

Essayli explained that he refers to Newsom as “the fraud king” because “he has reigned over billions and billions of dollars of fraud.”

“It’s gonna be into the hundreds of billions of dollars under his watch,” Essayli said. “Remember, none of this fraud could happen unless California issued these licenses.”

Newsom’s press office fired back at Essayli after he claimed the governor has refused to implement emergency regulations that would help end hospice fraud.

“The Governor took action: he instituted a BAN on new hospice licenses back in 2022!!” the press office wrote. “Only the federal government has access to medicare billing, CRITICAL to fighting fraud — so why did it take you so long to act, First Assistant?”

The whole world was eagerly watching President Donald Trump brief reporters about key updates on the war in Iran Monday when he revealed which head of state called former President Joe Biden “mentally retarded.”

During the high-stakes briefing, the president reaffirmed his Iran ultimatum and ripped into American allies for refraining from assisting the United States in the war. Trump criticized allies like Australia, Japan, and South Korea before going on a brief tangent about which world leader criticized Biden’s mental acuity.

‘I don’t care about critics.’

“We have 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect us from Kim Jong Un, who I get along with very well, as you know,” Trump said. “Do you notice, he’s said very nice things about me.”

“He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person, OK? So don’t tell me about your stuff,” Trump said to a reporter who suggested critics are calling for him to be psychologically evaluated. “Joe Biden, he said, ‘He’s a mentally retarded person.’ He was so nasty to Joe Biden. It was terrible.”

Earlier in the briefing, a reporter pressed Trump about his Truth Social post on Easter Sunday calling the Iranians “crazy bastards” and signing off with, “Praise be to Allah.”

“What is your response to critics who say that it is your mental health that should perhaps be examined as this war continues?” the reporter asked.

“I don’t care about critics,” Trump interrupted.

“I haven’t heard that,” Trump added. “But if that’s the case, you’re going to have to have more people like me.”

Not in their backyard.

Gated-community-dwelling celebs like Ben Stiller, Edward Norton, and Madonna are among those demanding that the Department of Homeland Security close a Texas ICE facility — and send its illegal immigrant detainees back into American neighborhoods.

The Change.org petition, which has reached over 200,000 signatures, targets the Dilley ICE detention center in Dilley, Texas, which was opened in 2014 by President Barack Obama.

‘Children belong in schools and on playgrounds, not in detention centers.’

The facility was then closed by President Joe Biden in 2024, before being reopened by President Donald Trump in 2025.

Lock shock

Now, some of the country’s most prominent liberal celebrities are accusing ICE of child imprisonment.

“No child should be locked in an immigration detention center,” the petition states.

“We urge the federal government and CoreCivic to close the Dilley facility immediately, return children and families to the homes and communities they were taken from and to end child imprisonment now.”

The description claimed that the children at the Dilley detention center “endure trauma, neglect and conditions that violate basic standards of health, safety, dignity and human rights.”

‘Rotten food’

Additional claims cited court filings that detail “abuse … refusals to provide clean water, rotten food contaminated with worms, dangerous medical neglect, sleep deprivation, denial of legal counsel, the separation of children from their families, and retaliation against families protesting the inhumane conditions.”

Many of these claims were outlined in a PBS News report from January, citing allegations made by migrant families “in recent court documents about their children’s conditions while in ICE custody.”

‘Desperate’ measures

In a statement, DHS refuted the claims as the media’s “desperate” attempt to discredit immigration reform:

Dilley does meet federal detention standards and actually undergoes regular audits and inspections. The Dilley Detention Center is retrofitted for families. Adults with children are housed in facilities that provide for their safety, security, and medical needs. All detainees are provided with 3 meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap, and toiletries.

The federal entity also said inmates have access to phones to contact family and lawyers, have dietitian-evaluated meals, and ensure that children are protected.

“Parents, who are here illegally, can take control of their departure,” the statement went on. DHS added the families can self-deport with the potential to return legally.

“Children belong in schools and on playgrounds, not in detention centers,” the petition also said.

Other celebrity signees include: Alyssa Milano, Brittney Griner, Christina Ricci, Cobie Smulders, Elizabeth Banks, Elliot Page, Eva Longoria, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, John Legend, Lance Bass, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Ms. Rachel, and Raffi.

University of Connecticut star Tarris Reed Jr. spoke beautifully about Easter, the Resurrection, and how Jesus has affected him following the March Madness semifinals on Saturday.

Reed took the podium following a 71-62 win over Illinois, which sent UConn to the national championship against Michigan, his former team, on Monday night.

‘He changed everything about me.’

Surprisingly, a reporter in Indianapolis brought up Easter weekend during Reed’s press conference, asking the 22-year-old what the Resurrection means to him.

Praise and proof

With a smile on his face, Reed rubbed his chin and said, “That’s a great question.”

“The resurrection is really everything,” he began. “That’s like, the staple of Christianity. So like, without the Resurrection, there is no Christian [faith], there is no Jesus.”

Reed then went into details that are rarely heard in the sports world, which may signal a continued shift into faith being proclaimed by high-level athletes.

“I feel like once you can show a lot of significant evidence for the Resurrection, I mean, it shows a lot of proof towards Christianity. So I feel like just to go through, where I came from throughout my college career … Jesus just literally changed my mind.”

Bible based

Before the national tournament, Reed said he has been drawing inspiration from his Christianity, saying he reads the Bible every morning. When his confidence has been low, he has turned to God and been “strong” in his faith.

It was then that Reed began telling reporters that his belief in Jesus has changed him completely.

“He changed everything about me,” Reed said on Saturday night. “It’s crazy looking back; like I saw my old team Michigan the other day and spoke to a couple of those guys. We [have] just seen each other just grow so much and just change. So it’s just been a blessing just to see myself just, like I said, grow through Jesus. I mean He just, like I said, wiped my eyes clean.”

While there aren’t as many instances, Reed had spoken about being a Christian during his time at Michigan, but he admitted recently he did not read the Bible when he played there.

Interestingly enough though, he cited similar reasoning for turning to his faith in 2023 with the Wolverines.

“When things are crumbling down, I know that I have faith in Jesus Christ. He’s going to produce and carry me through the storm,” he said at the time.

Walking of faith

Ahead of the tournament final, the 6’11” center says he has completely changed due to his faith, right down to the way he walks.

“My whole mind is different. The way I talk, walk, act changed. The way I treat other people. It’s like more not to get, but more to serve. You know, I feel like I’m here to really serve and serve others.”

UConn plays Michigan Monday night at 8:50 p.m. ET for the national championship.
