A Trump-backed pastor has dropped out of Oklahoma’s Republican primary after the Daily Mail exposed his intimate relationship with a campaign aide. Jackson Lahmeyer, 34, said in a statement: ‘After prayerful consideration with my wife, Kendra, and my team over the last twenty four hours, I’ve made the difficult decision to suspend my campaign for Congress. ‘I do not want to be a distraction to my family, my church, and

“Prayerful Consideration with his wife”. One can only imagine what that prayer session was really like - “Go to hell you cheating SOB and see you in court”. End of prayer session! What is about so many of the preachers who find it impossible to keep it in their pants?

But when Bill was caught having a bj in the Oval Office, well everyone said "tee hee, isn't that cute. Women I worked with said "that's between him and his wife." No. It wasn't. He was on the phone at the time talking to a senator about sending American troops into a war zone. But then we all know the MSM will do any and everything to destroy Republicans. As for this instance, I don't know anything about it but with all the promiscuity out there by politicians, it's a little odd this became a big deal.

Who in RNC vetted this guy?/ Anyone do background checks on candidates? Did he lie? Not candidate material and not a leader one should follow. His congregation should also have second thoughts.

#4, here's what makes this a Big Deal. Look at the first name in the article..... TRUMP! They don't give a 'Rat's ass about the candidate. The 'story' is that it's a candidate that Trump endorsed, so when he fails for whatever reason, the Lamestreams can count it as a mark against Trump. In this case, they also seem to imply that Trump knowingly endorsed a guy who was unfaithful to his wife, so they get a 'two-fer' implied slam on Trump. I commonly see the same thing in the Lamestreams whenever someone who is associated with a 'Celebrity' does something dumb. It's not "Joe Blow, a local nobody, did something wrong", no. It's "[Insert Name of Celebrity here]'s [insert connection to celebrity here] did something wrong." It's all about the 'clicks'! Put in a Celebrity's Name, and... Lots of Clicks! In this case, it's also a slam against President Trump. So much of today's media is just.... trash. Maybe it's always been this way. Maybe it's the nature of a portion of the people who go into the 'news' (that is, entertainment) business. Growing up, there was the 'Big 3' TV networks and the local paper. They would get together and all tell the same stories, from the same viewpoint, and often using the same phrasing. How much was the truth, and how much was lies.... as a regular person, there was no way to tell, no way to check. I am glad that we now have the Internet, as WE can pick and choose what sources to trust, what to read, what to watch, and what to believe.

Clearly the pastor was not paying the 'home wrecking whore' enough to earn her silence. She is obviously capable of raising more than campaign funds. They both may have a bright future in politics - as democrats.

I real pastor would have told any woman dressed that immodestly that he could not be around her or have her as part of his campaign. I real Christian pastor understood that words of Jesus "if you look at a woman to lust after her, you have committed adultery" and would have gone out of their way to stay away from any woman who obviously wants men to look on her with lust. This guy should slink off into the sunset never to be heard from again and he should pray that his wife forgives him and agrees to stay with him while he goes through counseling.

#8's comment made me wonder.... if someone 'got wind' of their goings-on and offered this woman some significant Ca$h to blab to the media. After all, there are plenty of evil 'Rats with money burning a hole in their pockets to do harm to America, and a plain 'ol Sex Scandal against someone -a conservative- who has presented themselves as a moral person, is their stock in trade. It's the standard 'Rats Politics of Personal Destruction. #12, that is the textbook example of the difference between the way the Leftist Lamestreams treat imperfect Conservatives, versus how they treat evil, shameless Democ'Rats. #18, that's what the 'Rat Lamestreams DO. Constant drumbeat of anything negative about Conservatives, Patriots, Republicans, and their Number One target, President Trump. Constant drumbeat of ANYTHING they can find negative about Christians and Caucasians, while favored minorities -no matter how evil or disgusting- get a pass, and another pass, and another pass, on, and on, and on.

34 years old and five kids? Only a pastor or somebody on the public dole can afford that many kids because the congregation is paying. He doesn't have the brains to be much of anything useful to other people.

An American man has been arrested in Colombia after being caught allegedly sexually abusing a child on a balcony in footage that outraged the South American nation. Colombian authorities said they arrested the man, described as a 36-year-old from Texas, on Sunday after footage of the act went viral across social media. The suspect, whose name has not been publicly identified, was seen allegedly sexually abusing a seven-year-old boy on a balcony in the capital Bogota in broad daylight. Stunned passersby screamed at the man from the street during the heinous episode, with one woman screaming: ‘He’s abusing the child!’

When Donald Trump walked back into the Oval Office on January 20, 2025, he didn’t waste a single day. Within hours he had signed more than 200 executive actions and rolled back nearly 80 of the previous administration’s failed policies. While his critics were still writing op-eds about what he might do, the President was already doing it. By the spring of 2026 he had signed more than 250 executive orders — the record of a man who came to work, not to give speeches.

Six months after President Donald Trump warned states not to regulate artificial intelligence, they are increasingly doing just that. Congress has stalled on producing federal regulation of artificial intelligence as states forge ahead and scrutinize how chatbots interact with children, how AI systems are used by employers and what developers must do to try to prevent an AI-caused catastrophe.

Tuesday, British Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe, the leader of the Restore Britain party (sorry to say, at this point I think it is more accurate to look at Nigel Farage and his Reform Party as controlled opposition rather than a real choice), released a report that probably ensures that British politics won't be quite the same. His 219-page "The Rape Gang Inquiry Report" unmasks the concerted effort by British officials to cover up the systematic rape of British girls in their early teens, if that, intimidate the girls into refusing to press charges, and protect the feral Pakistani gangs who preyed on them.

83-year-old Joe Biden was abandoned by his wife and former boss on stage at the Barack Obama Presidential Center opening ceremony in Chicago on Friday, left staring aimlessly into the crowd. The confused Biden was left behind as Obama danced off the stage, and Jill Biden followed him, forgetting about her husband. The Bidens were included among four former presidents and former first ladies who attended the ceremony. Biden looked distressed as he looked out into the crowd from the podium. He took off his sunglasses and waved before asking the crowd one strange question. “Where’s my granddaughter?” Joe shouted as the camera panned away from him and ended its feed.

Joe Biden seems determined to prove he was unfit for the presidency, and boy, did he do so again during the opening ceremony for Barack Obama's presidential center. I hate that I’m even talking about the event, but Biden’s “Biden moment” is just impossible to ignore. Video from the ceremony shows Jill Biden physically leading her husband onto the stage, which tells you everything you need to know about where things stand for Ol’ Joe before a single word was spoken. And yes, things got worse from there. As the ceremony wound down, Obama strutted around, playing air guitar to the music while Jill watched approvingly and then trailed him offstage.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom slammed the “tradwife” trend on social media and blamed sexism for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris’ presidential election losses in a recent wide-ranging interview. She stopped in for the interview to promote her new movie, “Miss Representation: Rise Up,” while the Justice Department investigates the tax conduct of her and her husband, California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Siebel Newsom says the “tradwife” trend — which originated from the prominent roles women played in households within the 20th century and prior but has evolved into a social media subculture — oversimplifies women. “For the tradwife phenomenon, it’s like, you

Obama has been getting a ton of media attention this week because of the opening of his hideous presidential center. During an interview with MSNOW, he said something that was truly stunning. Obama claimed that he rejects the belief that ‘the only true narrative of America is this one of oppression and exclusion.’ Is he for real? His entire political career has been based on the idea that America is the land of oppression and exclusion. It’s practically his personal brand. If you watch the video below, you’ll see how he set this up.

Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz Friday instead of heading to Switzerland for nuclear negotiations, citing Israel’s refusal to pull forces out of southern Lebanon and US forces’ ongoing presence in the region. In a statement read over maritime radio channels, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the US was in violation of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, which President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed Wednesday. “Since Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, the complete lifting of the naval blockade, and the withdrawal of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are among the main conditions of the agreement between Iran and the United States,

Nearly four in ten Democrats say they are “ashamed” to be American, a new survey found. The survey by The Economist/YouGov found just weeks before America’s 250th anniversary that 26 percent of Democrats say they are “somewhat ashamed” and 12 percent say they are “very ashamed” to be American. Nearly twice as many Democrats reported being somewhat or very ashamed to be American compared to overall poll respondents. Out of all U.S. adult citizens polled, 12 percent say they are “somewhat ashamed” and 8 percent say they are “very ashamed.” Still, some Democrats say they are “very proud” to be American (22 percent) or “somewhat proud” (18 percent).

As he prepared to sign his “memorandum of understanding” with the Islamic dictatorship of Iran, President Trump again insisted that his deal was much different than that of his predecessor, President Barack Obama. He’s right — it’s probably worse. Obama’s treaty did not prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, it simply punted the issue down the road in exchange for cash. Trump’s agreement has the same vague promises, the same payouts, but with the added twist that Iran can and will take the world hostage by shutting the Strait of Hormuz at will. On Friday, just days after the signing of the MOU, Iran moved to close the Strait,

I expected this, or at least some variation of it. I wrote about this on Wednesday: Iran demanded the ceasefire in Lebanon to create a steady casus belli they can use to jerk the United States around and drive a wedge between Israel and the United States. Demand a ceasefire, then get Hezbollah to keep poking at Israel with attacks to generate defensive responses. Then use those defensive responses to cancel talks or jerk us around, claiming that Israel violated the ceasefire. This was, at least to me, as predictable as the sun rising in the East. Hell, even I predicted it, and I am not a genius.

Donald Trump has been the greatest, most clear-eyed and most transformative foreign policy president of my lifetime. But Trump is also the famed businessman who wrote The Art of the Deal four decades ago. There has therefore always been the risk that the president's novel and often unorthodox approach to foreign policy could be subsumed by a greater dealmaking imperative. Prudent statesmanship on the world stage requires setting clear ends and then working backward to calibrate the appropriate means — diplomatic, economic, military or otherwise — to achieve those ends. Because of his dealmaking background, Trump — despite all his foreign policy successes — was always uniquely vulnerable
