GOP lawmaker: Stand and fight, while we can, after 'blue tsunami'
Congressional Republicans, after a midterm shellacking in both chambers, have to choose a response for the remaining “lame duck” session now under way. They can put on big boy and girl pants and finish Republican business, or they can disappear. Rep. Andrew Clyde, a Georgia Republican who did win re-election, hopes his coworkers will choose the former and will use their majorities to good effect. But that may be wishful thinking.
GOP can win back young men, and Miller's new title might help
President Donald Trump’s staff is changing in the wake of Republicans’ blowout losses in the midterms. But that doesn’t mean he’s caving to Democrats, Grant May, a communications specialist, said on American Family Radio Monday. Stephen Miller, a senior advisor on policy and homeland security, began his new job Monday replacing Susie Wiles as chief of staff.
Unsettled Mississippi seat takes on new meaning in light of filibuster future
Updated results show a nearly dead heat in Mississippi, where Democrat challenger Scott Colom has a very slight lead against Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. SuperTalk Mississippi, the conservative statewide radio network, Wednesday morning reported only 28 votes between Colom and Hyde-Smith with 97% of ballots counted. The Alaska Senate seat also remains unsettled.
'Lawyer up' is message from Dems planning revenge agenda
But that’s just one of the president’s problems over the last two years of his term. He’ll soon be spending much of his time fending off impeachment efforts, predicts Jenna Ellis, an American Family Radio host and former Trump legal advisor. But it won’t be only Trump in the crosshairs. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and potentially Vice President JD Vance, should prepare themselves, too, Ellis told her AFR audience Wednesday morning.

Shirley encourages students to work for change in their communities
The 24-year-old from Utah has been described as a right-wing YouTube influencer and as an independent journalist since playing a key role in exposing fraud within the childcare programs in Minnesota. Shirley on a December 26 posted a roughly 43-minute video saying he visited 10 childcare facilities in Minneapolis, many operated by residents of the city’s sizable Somali immigrant population, to investigate whether businesses receiving public funding were actually caring for children.
Kindness, encouragement called good place to start to reverse birth decline
One of the biggest factors that could help in reversing trends — a factor with zero cost attached — is kindness. Encouraging words. Letting prospective parents know they’re supported. Social influencers matter, too. The Pew Research Center found that the U.S. fertility rate hit a historic low with 1.60 children per woman in 2024. The replacement level is widely considered 2.1 children per woman in a “low-mortality” country.
Speaker Johnson predicts wise, older voters will counter young, foolish socialists
House Speaker Mike Johnson believes older Americans represent a voting bloc whose experiences could benefit the underdog Republicans in the coming midterms. As democratic socialism rises in popularity these Americans remember images of struggle overseas wrought by governments favoring socialism. Most polling for the midterms predicts that Democrats will take control of the House.
Bank notorious for 'debanking' fined for also working with worst of bad guys
BOA’s alleged wrongdoing included failing to report $5 billion in suspicious transactions including $1 billion linked to national security risks like Chinese money laundering networks and illicit activity along the U.S.’ southwest border. There were 475 apparent violations of U.S.-ordered sanctions against other countries such as Russia and Iran. Apparent misdeeds by Bank of America didn’t end there.
Closson: A botched execution doesn't negate state's role in ultimate punishment
Neither were on display last week when the State of Tennessee sought to execute convicted murderer Christa Pike. Pike was convicted of the 1995 murder, a particularly brutal slaying, of Colleen Slemmer, 19. Pike was 18, and the two were classmates at Knoxville job-training facility. Witnesses reported that Pike remained alive and continued breathing and snoring for a considerable period after the second dose.
Supreme Court saves SAVE, but law postpones poring over voter rolls
The Court last week temporarily cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume using an expanded federal database to help states verify the citizenship of people on their voter registration rolls. Justices, in a 6-3 vote, put on hold a lower-court injunction that had prevented the administration from using the data from SAVE — Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements — to identify illegal aliens on voting rolls.
Bachmann: Netanyahu tore down lies in speech before a failed organization
But many of the attending delegates weren’t around to hear Netanyahu as they quickly exited the meeting at the start of and during Netanyahu’s speech. The walkout included diplomats from Arab nations all around Israel — Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey — and totaled 77 countries in all, according to Israeli counts. The Saudi Arabia reaction is somewhat surprising since it has been discussing normalization of relations with Israel.
Former rep rips impeachment try despite controversy over war powers
Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) on Tuesday introduced eight articles of impeachment against Sec. Pete Hegseth. The charges are not limited to the war in Iran. The resolution was filed as a privileged resolution, a procedural designation that allows Massie to force House consideration within a specified period. The eight specific charges include: Waging the Iran war despite no declaration of war, statutory authorization, attack on the United States, or imminent threat.
While trying to ignore, victory would be the Rebels’ best response
A win would make Ole Miss a lot like Kiffin in one way: the Rebels would be really hard to ignore. If you’re an Ole Miss fan, by the time you read this Lane Kiffin has either said or will say something that makes you shake your head with disgust. The probability is high. Kiffin’s return to Ole Miss is Saturday night at 6:30 as No. 7 LSU visits No. 8 Ole Miss. Those are rankings in The Associated Press Top 25.
GOP rep's advice on Houthi threat: Don't be distracted by 'ragtag' rebels
Reacting to that military strategy, a former Green Beret and current Republican congressman said the United States should think twice before confronting an under-funded and under-trained force. In the last week the Houthis have seized control of most of Yemen’s Red Sea coast, giving them the ability to disrupt a vital shipping corridor, further threatening Saudi Arabia oil exports and ultimately the price of gas in the U.S. and worldwide.
Show Me State asking for guidance from U.S. Supreme Court on voting map mess
Attorney General Catherine Hanaway (R-Missouri) has filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court to stay a ruling by the Missouri Supreme Court that blocks the state’s newly drawn 2025 congressional map. The 2025 map has already been used in primaries leading to the midterm elections. Now, the state supreme court’s ruling requires the general election to be decided with the older map, which was drawn in 2022.
Claim: Clancy supporters driven by emotion, tainted by feminism
The pandemic launched a generation of conspiracy theorists who were often proven right relative to the disease. But the continuation of looking for hidden truths behind every tree gets in the way of real truth and now could lead to a serious miscarriage of justice, a conservative podcaster said on American Family Radio Wednesday.
Social media, AI guardrails are great, but real protection for minors begins with the family
But they also won’t be the best defense to protect minors from online predators, a broadcast professional said on American Family Radio Tuesday. Meta, the parent company for Facebook and Instagram, last week settled litigation that requires it to pay to various states a reported $17-18 billion. Among the changes: nTwo-hour daily usage limit for minors, with parents able to impose a stricter limit. nMidnight-to-6 a.m. restrictions on use. nNotifications shut off during school hours.
Girl Scouts approve, then downplay teachings in Islam-centered troops
Troops under the GSUSA banner are operating within Muslim mosques and institutions and incorporating Islamic religious practices and values, independent journalist Natalie G. Winters reports. There is no published nationwide count of Girl Scout troops meeting in mosques. Public records, however, document mosque-based Girl Scout troops in at least several major metropolitan areas, with more than a dozen individual troops readily identifiable from available sources.
El-Sayed alliances can say a lot about the Michigan Senate candidate
The far-left views of Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, perhaps, need no further validation for voters. But Joel Rosenberg, author and founder/editor of All-Israel News, told American Family Radio Tuesday they sure get it in El-Sayed's embrace of far-left podcaster Hasan Piker.
New Jersey abortion, gender law goes from shield to sword
Conservatives and pro-life groups have long complained about the previous administration's unequal application of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, saying its selective enforcement against pro-life protesters had a chilling effect on sidewalk counseling and prayer. A Department of Justice (DOJ) review found that Biden-era prosecutors sought an average sentence of 26.8 months for pro-life FACE Act defendants, compared with 12.3 months for pro-abortion defendants.
The future of government: There’s a lot at stake in midterm elections
He’s spending a lot of time on the road right now campaigning with Republican candidates in swing districts. In the meantime, he’s gotten a little advice from a veteran of the political battles. “I was having a conversation with Newt Gingrich, who’s still one of the great historians of Congress, the strategist of our party,” Johnson told “Washington Watch” host Tony Perkins over the weekend.
