Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been keeping one heck of a secret for the past few months: she's expecting a baby girl in May of 2026. Leavitt, 28, made the announcement on Friday, saying she was "thrilled" about growing her family with husband, Nick Riccio, 60, and commenting that motherhood was "the closest thing to Heaven on Earth." The couple welcomed their first child, son Niko, in July 2024. "My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother," Leavitt wrote in a post on her personal Instagram account. "My heart is overflowing with gratitude to God

Comments:

WOW!! I didn't even know she was expecting. Congratulations to the entire family!!!

No disrespect and I wish her and family well but if motherhood is the closest thing to Heaven on earth then why is she working? I don't think she needs the money. Yes, she is a very effective press secretary for President Trump but my widowed mother raised three children on her own (and she was not wealthy) and would have preferred to have been home with us but she HAD to work and there were no family friendly work environments back in the 1960s.

I think the congratulations should go to the 60-year-old father. However, at 60, I don't think he'll be able to help much with this child, but he accomplished to produce a girl at 60. As a man gets older, the chances that the baby will be a boy is increased.

President Donald Trump had some fun talking with kids on the traditional, Christmas Eve NORAD Santa Claus hotline this week. While he joked that they were tracking Santa's movements, he assured the kids that Santa was good. (Snip) But it turns out that 'Santa' did have a little bit of a run-in with the cops when he was going through Ohio with Mrs. Claus. Sgt. Mark Robinson with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office thought that Santa was going a bit too fast, so he pulled him over. However, when he realized it was Santa, he just couldn't help but find the humor in it,

Christmas will be extra special this year for a Texas family who will be bringing their daughter home from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after more than 300 days. Luis Torres and Jacklynn Peralta will be bringing home their daughter, Kamillia Peralta, who has been in the NICU since she was born at 35 weeks with an omphalocele, according to KSAT News. Kamillia Peralta was in the NICU at St. Luke’s Baptist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas for 305 days. Kamillia Peralta “was born with an Omphalocele, a congenital defect that caused some of her internal organs to develop outside her abdomen,” according to the outlet.

Consider this a Feel-Good Wednesday story in honor of Christmas Eve, and a testament to a private enterprise that honors and appreciates its customers. H-E-B is a regional grocery chain headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. In 2025, H-E-B ranked the 5th-largest private company in the U.S. with annual revenues of $49.57 billion. Not too shabby for a concern that only covers parts of Texas and Mexico. This 120-year-old grocer has obviously tapped into their market and found success with their model, but this Christmas, they also tapped into the heart of service in a big way. On Tuesday, at an H-E-B location in Burleson, TX, the computer system went completely down;

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was buried under backlash after a tone-deaf post lamenting the “most vulnerable” illegal aliens in her community. The Democrat’s post on social media last week touted a holiday donation drive for families not feeling “safe” in the California city, and it generated criticism on X that continued to reverberate for days. “For many immigrant families, this holiday season is marked by absence and fear. Loved ones are missing due to immigration enforcement actions, and many families do not feel safe leaving their homes to participate in holiday traditions,” Bass wrote in the post, accompanied by photos from the toy drive.

The office of El Salvador’s attorney general announced on Sunday that 248 members of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang were sentenced to up to 1,335 years in prison for multiple crimes. Collectively, all 248 MS-13 members were convicted of roughly 240 different counts of crimes committed between 2014 and 2022. The attorney general’s office published a breakdown of the sentencing and additional information in a series of social media posts in which it detailed that among the most serious crimes committed by the convicted criminals is the December 2021 disappearance and murder of siblings Karen and Eduardo Guerrero Toledo, the October 2021 disappearance and murder of Salvadoran soccer player Jimena Granados,

An illegal alien is accused of murdering a 66-year-old cab driver in upstate New York, a sanctuary jurisdiction, after a dispute over cab fare. Santos Paulino Vasquez-Ramirez, a 28-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala, has been arrested by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and charged with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery. According to police, on December 1, 66-year-old Aurelio Zhunio-Orbez was driving his cab when he picked up Vasquez-Ramirez in Brewster, New York. Later that day, Zhunio-Orbez’s cab was found abandoned in a nearby parking lot. On December 7, Zhunio-Orbez’s body was found in the Croton Falls Reservoir. Police later arrested Vasquez-Ramirez and said that the illegal alien confessed to strangling Zhunio-Orbez, killing him,

Nothing quite says "Biden Border Crisis" like an *alleged* member of an MS-13 assassin squad — who is internationally known as "Fantasma," no less — being arrested by ICE and its law enforcement partners... in Nebraska. Honduran national Gerson Emir Cuadra Soto, wanted for a brutal quadruple homicide in his home country, is a convicted killer who broke out of prison and illegally slipped across the Southern Border during the heyday of former President Joe Biden's intentional, disastrous open-border policy that saw millions of illegal aliens stroll into our country, most of them unchecked.

Remember those “No Kings” protests? You may not, they weren’t really relevant to people who shower and have kissed someone of the opposite sex, but to the left, they were the closest they could get to having friends or family. And since these people are otherwise devoid of meaning in their lives, they’re getting the band back together in 2026. An email from “Our Revolution,” the anti-American group Bernie Sanders turned his campaign apparatus into, announced “The Next No Kings Day Is ON – We Need You to Power It.” It was, like pretty much everything from the left, a plea for money.

President Donald Trump got some good news to kick off his week: his approval rating has now hit 50%, giving him a net approval of plus 9 points. Not too shabby. What makes this even more satisfying is that liberals all over the country are stomping around like preschoolers who were denied cookies for their morning snack. The new numbers also shoot holes through the left's propaganda claiming Americans aren’t pleased with the work Trump has done during the first year of his term. Nothing could be further from the truth. Look at the crime rates in major cities in the U.S. They have taken a drastic plunge

Never mind that the other things they’ve tried to hang on Trump are equally as shaky. The charges against Trump, from “insurrection” and “Russian collusion” on down, have all been political tools designed solely to discredit and destroy him, with the primary purpose of preventing him from being reelected in 2024. Well, there he is, back in the Oval Office, but that doesn’t mean that this effort is over. It is still widely assumed, despite Nancy Pelosi’s recent denial,

Newsguard will note for their information filtering system, that Mayor Jacob Frey did not directly say residents of the region will start killing ICE agents. However, Mayor Frey did say if the ICE deportation operations continue, ICE agents are likely to be killed. The obvious question is, ‘who will do the killing, Jacob‘? Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have built the illegal alien powder-keg while both have financially benefitted from the subsequent Somali community fraud, then together they blame the presence of federal law enforcement -Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)- agents for striking the match.

A group of 19 Democrat-led states and Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration over a declaration that aims to restrict gender transition treatment for minors. The lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; its Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.; and its inspector general comes after the declaration issued last week described treatments such as puberty blockers, hormone treatments and gender surgeries as unsafe and ineffective for children experiencing gender dysphoria. The declaration also warned doctors they could be excluded from federal health programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, if they provide these treatments to minors.

The Asian Law Caucus and the Sikh Coalition, along with the law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in an effort to stop the California DMV from canceling the CDLs, which the complaint says would “result in mass work stoppages” starting Jan 5, 2026. “This class-action lawsuit is brought on behalf of the Jakara Movement and five commercial drivers who have been deprived of their rights and livelihoods,” a joint statement from the Asian Law Caucus and Sikh Coalition said.

It also features comprehensive black debt forgiveness, prioritizes housing assistance, and provides targeted programs in black education and black health. (snip)

A key GOP senator is expressing optimism that Republicans and Democrats will agree to a deal that would extend expiring health care subsidies, but the effort faces an uphill climb in winning the backing of leaders in both parties. Without a deal, health insurance premiums are projected to spike by double digits next month, yet Senate leaders John Thune (R-S.D.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) each have reasons to shy away from backing a bipartisan deal. At the same time, failure to pass a bipartisan deal to rein in rising premiums could set the stage for another government -
