The far right was supporting the ex-husband of former first lady, Dr. Jill Biden.
He publicly trashed his ex-wife and her husband, former president Joe Biden.
Jill Tracy Biden (nee Jacobs) was married to William Stevenson, a die hard supporter of President Donald J. Trump. He was featured on Fox, Newsmax, The Daily Mail and Breitbart.
She met Biden shortly after. He eventually became one of the youngest U.S. senator representing the state of Delaware. He and Jill have their only child, Ashley.
Ashley and half brother [Robert] Hunter Biden are the surviving children. Their brother Beau (Joseph R. Biden III) and sister Naomi have passed away. Hunter's mother was Neilla. His mother and Naomi died in a car accident. Beau passed away from terminal cancer.
The former president has Stage III to IV prostate cancer.
I may have my disappointment with former president Biden on Israel, the slow walking to convict Trump and allowing Joe Manchin, John Fetterman and Kyrsten Sinema wreck his agenda, but he is not a chaos agent like his predecessor/successor.
Jilly has not spoken to her ex-husband since the 2000s. He remarried and had children.
Stevenson kills his wife. He was previously married to Dr. Jill Biden.
Well, Bill's is in some serious trouble.
He was arrested this week. He is accused of killing his wife at their Delaware home in late December, authorities announced in a news release Tuesday.
Stevenson, 77, of Wilmington was married to Jill Biden from 1970 to 1975.
Caroline Harrison, the Delaware Attorney General’s spokesperson, confirmed in a phone call that Stevenson is the former husband of Jill Biden.
Biden declined to comment, according to an emailed response from a spokesperson at the former president and first lady’s office.
Stevenson remains in jail after failing to post $500,000 bail after his arrest Monday on first-degree murder charges. He is charged with killing Linda Stevenson, 64, on Dec. 28.
Police were called to the home for a reported domestic dispute after 11 p.m. and found a woman unresponsive in the living room, according to a prior news release. Life-saving measures were unsuccessful.
Jill dodge a bullet.
She ran a bookkeeping business and was described as a family-oriented mother and grandmother and a Philadelphia Eagles fan, according to her obituary, which does not mention her husband.
Stevenson was charged in a grand jury indictment after a weekslong investigation by detectives in the Delaware Department of Justice.
It was not immediately clear if Stevenson has a lawyer. He founded a popular music venue in Newark called the Stone Balloon in the early 1970s.
In an interview with the conservative news outlet Newsmax in 2024, Stevenson criticized Jill Biden and he described their divorce as contentious, calling her “bitter” and “nasty.”
Well, it appears the mirror was right in his fucking face. He appears to be the "bitter" and "nasty" person.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
William Brock is likely going to die while in the iron college. He is 83 years old. If he does get an appeal or a reduced sentence, it will still be a long time before he gets out.

The sentencing was delayed after his lawyer got ill.
In 2024, Brock shot Lo-letha Hall's after he was duped by a scammer. She went to pick up a package and Brock pulled out his revolver and held her at gunpoint.
Instead of calling 9-1-1, not answering the door, hanging up the phone on the scammer, he decided to take actions into his own hands. He held her at gunpoint, tried to steal her phone and when she tried to flee, he shot her in the leg. After a confrontation, she shoved him. He ends up getting back up and shooting her multiple times and then calls 9-1-1.
The incident happened in South Charleston, Ohio, a village outside of Springfield.
The Clark County prosecutor saw through Brock's story. The prosecutor saw Brock as a reckless individual who felt that he could get away with murder if he claims self-defense and a real fear of his life.
It was unnecessary use of force and flat out kidnapping.
Basically murder.
And there is no amount of fear in Brock to justified his actions.
Why couldn't you let my mom leave? You took it upon yourself to kill an innocent person.
Me and LaReyna covered this for nearly two years. This finally brings justice to that beautiful woman who didn't deserve this death.
I cannot sympathize with Brock. His lawyers tried to appeal to the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General Pam Bondi to push Ohio governor Mike DeWine to intervene. Brock was hoping for a commuted sentence or a pardon.
According to Clark County Common Pleas Court records, Brock was sentenced to 21 years to life in prison for the fatal shooting of Hall.
In January, Brock was found guilty by a jury on all counts, including murder, felonious assault and kidnapping. One week after the conviction, Brock's attorney filed a motion for an acquittal and a new trial.
In court last month, Brock said he was scared for his life when he pulled a gun on Hall.
"After the first shot, she backed up a little more, and (I) don't know what triggered it, but I shot at her shoulder," he said. "Then, we got closure to the vehicle. There was a little scuffle over the door. She got a hold of the door, slammed it into my head and that's what injured me."
He testified that he doesn't remember what happened for a few seconds after that incident.
According to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, an initial investigation reveals that a scam caller contacted Brock concerning an incarcerated relative. The caller allegedly informed him that his nephew was incarcerated and a significant amount of money was needed to post bail. The call turned to threats and a demand for money.
A following investigation confirmed that Brock received scam calls to his house and that the same caller contacted an Uber driver through the app to pick up a package at Brock’s house.
The sheriff’s office said Hall was not aware that Brock had been called and threatened. When she arrived to pick up a package, she made contact with him.
Lo-letha, we got justice.
Hall reportedly suffered from medical conditions and was unarmed. Deputies say she made no threats or assaults toward Brock and no demands other than to ask for the package that she was sent to pick up.
According to the sheriff’s office, Brock held Hall at gunpoint, making demands for the identity of the person he spoke to on the phone. He allegedly took her cellphone to prevent calls and refused to let her leave.
Hall attempted to re-enter her vehicle to leave and was reportedly shot by Brock in the process. Brock was injured in a subsequent fight at the door of Hall’s vehicle. Brock shot Hall two more times, according to the sheriff’s office.
He then called 911 for help. The sheriff’s office says when he called 911, he told the operator that he shot someone on his property who was attempting a robbery.
Deputies and medics found Hall on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. She was flown to a hospital in Dayton, where she later died from her injuries during surgery.
One year after Hall's death, her estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit. The lawsuit demanded more than $25,000 in damages for the harm caused by Brock and five John Does who were involved in Hall’s death.
Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
After four seasons, The Sherri Show is cancelled. The show starred comedian Sherri Shepherd and it was a sequel to The Wendy Williams Show. Came hours after The Kelly Clarkson Show was cancelled.
Williams' deteriorating health was a huge factor. Shepherd who did about most of the guest hosting, officially became the replacement.

Lionsgate-owned syndicated TV production company Debmar-Mercury confirmed the news in a Monday, February 2, statement to Us Weekly.
“This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production – which has found strong creative momentum this season – or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd,” Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus told Us. “We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.”
Season 4 of Sherri, which has been cleared through the 2025-2026 TV season on station groups like the Fox TV Stations, Nexstar, Hearst, Sinclair, Gray, Tegna and Sunbeam, will continue as planned with the show airing its final seasons in the fall.
News of the cancellation comes less than one year after Fox TV Stations exec vice president of programming Frank Cicha called the show “a linchpin of our daytime lineup,” and just hours after Kelly Clarkson announced her Emmy-winning talk show would come to an end after seven seasons.
Us Weekly has reached out to Sherri Shepherd for comment.
Clarkson, 43, revealed on Monday that season 7 of her show, which is currently airing on NBC, will be its last.
“I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at TKCS, both in Los Angeles and New York. There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons,” Clarkson wrote in a statement via Instagram. “I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show, and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner.”
Clarkson added that it was not an “easy decision” to end TKCS, but “stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives.” (Clarkson shared daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remy Alexander, 9, with late ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, who died at age 48 in August 2025 after a battle with cancer.)
The Grammy winner reminded her fans that the end of The Kelly Clarkson Show isn’t a forever goodbye, noting that she will “still be making music, playing shows here and there, and you may catch me on The Voice from time to time … you never know where I might show up next.”
She concluded, “But for now, I want to thank y’all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years.”
The Kelly Clarkson Show premiered in 2019, while Shepherd’s daytime series hit the airwaves in 2022. Fans of both shows took to social media on Monday to express their disappointment at having to say goodbye.
“Daytime TV is ruthless. One minute you’re building an audience, the next minute poof,” one Threads user wrote. Another person on X asked, “So are we just not doing daytime tv anymore?” A third added, “Wait Kelly is also ending her talk show! What’s happening??”
The Kelly Clarkson Show is cancelled. A shocking blow to daytime television.
Clarkson, the first American Idol winner is a singer, actress, media personality and activist.

She announced that Season 7 will be her last.
“I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at TKCS, both in Los Angeles and New York. There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show, and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner,” Clarkson, 43, wrote via Instagram.
She continued, “Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision — but this season will be my last hosting TKCS. Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives.”
Clarkson went on to note that “this isn’t goodbye,” adding that she will “still be making music, playing shows here and there, and you may catch me on The Voice from time to time … you never know where I might show up next.”
She concluded, “But for now, I want to thank y’all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years.”
The Kelly Clarkson Show premiered in September 2019. The host taped the first four seasons of the nationally syndicated series in Los Angeles before moving to New York City in October 2023.
Clarkson opened most episodes of her talk show with her beloved “Kellyoke” segment, which saw the American Idol alum cover songs by artists including Celine Dion, The Weeknd, Whitney Houston and Billie Eilish.
During The Kelly Clarkson Show‘s run, Clarkson also hosted a primetime series, Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson, which debuted on NBC last summer and featured conversations and acoustic duets with the Jonas Brothers, Gloria Estefan, Teddy Swims and Lizzo.
Clarkson’s future on TV has been in question since the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blockstock, in August 2025. The former couple, who were married from October 2013 to March 2022, shared two children together: daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remington “Remy” Alexander, 9. Blackstock also had two kids from his previous marriage to Melissa Ashworth: daughter Savannah, 23, and son Seth, 19.
Clarkson stepped away from The Kelly Clarkson Show to spend time with her children in the final days of Blackstock’s private battle with melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. The former talent manager, who was Reba McEntire‘s stepson, was 48 when he died.
“Kelly is a great mom and has needed to be there for her kids,” a source told Us Weekly at the time, adding that “only a few people in Kelly’s circle” and “a handful of her show’s team” knew about Blackstock’s health issues.
A second insider added, “Kelly is a workhorse. Hard work is all she knows. She hates disappointing people, truly. The thing that kept her going was knowing how many people depend on her, like her crews and employees.”
Clarkson and Blackstock infamously went through a bitter divorce, but a third source told Us that the rancher’s cancer diagnosis “changed their perspectives” on their relationship.
“They have had a bunch of family events in the past months that she allowed her kids to be present for,” the source explained. “They were out there [in Montana] visiting him, and I know she let them miss school a bunch to attend a family wedding and Reba’s rodeo concert, as well as some other things that the entire family did together. She felt it was important.”
Another MAGA entertainer who likely was at Mar-a-Lago this weekend announced he may not survive the year.
Ray J (aka William Raymond Norwood, Jr.) is a singer, rapper, actor, media personality and tech entrepreneur. He is the famous entertainer who took Kim Kardashian for ride.
He is the entertainer who is brother to R&B star Brandy. They are currently estranged.
Ray J is the founder of Raycon Media, a sound and electronic bicycle company.
Ray J is also known for being a supporter of Donald J. Trump, the 45th/47th President Of The United States.
It appears the entertainer has some serious health problems.
In a video he shard on social media Tuesday night, the singer said, “2027 is definitely a wrap for me. That’s what they say,” Page Six reported.
A friend in the video told him not to “say that” and “f—k the doctor,” but Ray J put his head in his hands with defeat.
“I shouldn’t have went this hard, bro,” he said. “My baby mama gonna be straight, my kids gonna be straight, if they wanna spend all the money, they can spend it. I did my part here.”
He also shared his plans for what he’d like to be done after he dies, saying, “And damn, when it’s all done, burn me, don’t bury me.”
Ray J reunites with old flame Amber Rose. Both came out as prominent Trump supporters.
Ray J thanked his parents and sister Brandy, who he says have been taking him to the doctor and covering his bills “for the rest of the year.”
According to TMZ, in the Tuesday night video, Ray J blamed years of drugs and alcohol for his health problems, saying his heart turned “black.”
He is allegedly planning to go to Haiti in two weeks to seek treatment for his health issues, despite warnings from the U.S. State Department for Americans not to travel there.
The post from Ray J on Tuesday followed another he made Sunday night, where he claimed he “almost died” and his “heart is only beating like 25 percent.”
“But as long as I stay focused and stay on the right path, then everything will be all right, so thank you for all your prayers,” he added.
Earlier this month, Ray J was hospitalized in Las Vegas with a severe case of pneumonia and heart pains, per TMZ.
Ray J also had pneumonia in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 45-year-old is also facing legal woes on top of his health issues.
He is in the process of being divorced from his ex, Princess Love, with whom he shares two children.
The singer is also embroiled in a legal battle with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, attempting to build a racketeering case against them in September. The reality stars in turn sued him for defamation, per Pag Six. Ray J countersued and accused them for lying about leaking the sex tape between himself and Kim for decades.
Kim's ex-husband Ye (Kanye West) and Ray J are good terms. Both of them are feuding with Kardashian.
Anybody got a participation Grammy for Nicki Minaj?
First week of February and the United States is having a civil war.
The elites are feuding with one another.
The rest of us are being triggered to feud with one another.
Again, 1 of 5 people believe violence is the only way to solve problems when it comes to politics and fighting words.
What got President Donald J. Trump, senior advisor Alex Bruesewitz, rapper Nicki Minaj, Elon Musk and MAGA upset?
Free speech.
Trevor Noah, the South African comedian and host of the Grammy Awards telling jokes.
His jokes rubbed them the wrong way.
Joy Villa, a Trump supporter, singer and politicial activist never released an album. Every year, she appears and folk don't know who she is. On the years of being at the Grammys showed up again, with some controversial statement to generate unnecessary attention.
While the Grammys were on, down in Palm Beach, the hasbeens had their party.
Minaj, Sexyy Red, 50 Cent, Amber Rose, Robin Thicke, Nelly and Michael Blackson were spotted at Mar-a-Lago for Bruesewitz's wedding. Folks are "canceling" the entertainers because they support Trump or siding with fascism.
Kid Rock had to remove Ludacris from his event after the entertainer faced backlash. Luda pulled out. The rapper has also hinted a comeback. He released a single that got some rotation.
Trump wants to sue Noah and Michael Wolff. He can call Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) names and mocks people without any repercussions. Yet, a few mild jokes at him and his allies, he wants to sue.
When he addressed the fact that Nicki Minaj was not in attendance, the audience applauded in response. He joked that “she is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues: ‘Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass, I have it. Everybody’s saying it, Nicki, I know they say it’s you, but it’s me. WAP, WAP, WAP. Look at it, baby,’” Noah said in his best Trump impression.
Wolff is detailing Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The president's handling of the release of the Epstein files is strongly disapproved. Many believe the president broke trust with MAGA.
Bad Bunny is expected to perform at the Super Bowl LV on Sunday. The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will face off at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
They can dish it out but they can't take it.
Trump and Vice President JD Vance will skip the Super Bowl because they are triggered by the pro immigration, LGBTQ friendly, Spanish speaking, Puerto Rican entertainer.
He took home the Grammy for Best Album of the Year.
Ironic, Kendrick Lamar took home a Grammy and then performed an amazing Super Bowl Halftime Show where he openly mocked Nicki Minaj, Drake and Lil Wayne.
Lamar and SZA took aim at the industry, Nicki Minaj, Trump and Drake.
Cher did a major flub at the Grammys. As Noah handed off her Lifetime Achievement Award, the 79 year old entertainer forgot to present the nominees, walked off stage and said Luther Vandross as the winner. In actuality, it was Luther, the song performed by Lamar. It sparks dementia concerns.
Erika Kirk is planning on having a Turning Point Halftime Show. This is a response to Bad Bunny. She is facing criticism after Candace Owens leaked audio and video of the widow of white nationalist Charlie Kirk gleefully cheering the outcome of her late husband's funeral services. Some think she was disingenuous from the start and she exploiting his death for ominous purposes.
Last week, Minaj appeared at a U.S. Treasury event, where she stood on stage with Trump and said, “I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan, and that’s not going to change.”
While detailing what the night ahead entails, Noah compared this year’s Grammys to the 1999 ceremony.
“The last time Lauryn Hill performed at the Grammys was in 1999,” said Noah. “Back in 1999 the president had a sex scandal, people thought computers were about to destroy the world and Diddy was arrested. Boy, how times have changed.”
Florida man accused of groping a student on the campus of Florida Memorial University is now accused of trying to grope a Miami-Dade County detective. As he was being escorted to an awaiting police cruiser, the suspect tried to grab the buttocks of a female detective holding the door open. A local junk food media team caught it and so did a deputy.
The suspect laughed it off and said he doesn't care what they do to him.
Newly released dashcam and surveillance video obtained exclusively by CBS News Miami shows Opa-locka police apprehending a suspect accused of sexually assaulting a student on the campus of Florida Memorial University over the weekend.
Police say the suspect, identified as Steven Rivers, was arrested Tuesday after investigators linked him to an alleged sexual battery that occurred Sunday on the FMU campus. According to police, surveillance video shows Rivers jumping over a fence to gain access to the university, where he allegedly approached the victim and sexually assaulted her.
Dashcam video showed officers actively searching the area before spotting Rivers. In the video, officers can be heard giving repeated commands as they take him into custody.
"Rivers, talk to me for a second. You will be OK," one officer says. Moments later, officers are heard saying, "Get your hands out of your pocket. You will be OK. Stop right there. Show me your hands," and "Get on the ground for us. You will be OK. Put your hands out."
In bodycam video obtained by CBS News Miami, Rivers is seen wearing a white snow cap and surrounded by officers as one of them says, "They said his name was Steven Rivers."
"We'll detain him until the lead detective gets there," said another officer.
Another bodycam video shows Rivers being taken to a police car.
After his arrest, Rivers was turned over to Miami Gardens Police Department.
During transport to jail, video showed Rivers being pushed against a wall by officers. An arrest report stated Rivers attempted to grab the buttocks of a detective during that interaction, leading to an additional charge of battery on a law enforcement officer.
During bond court, a prosecutor told the judge: "The state is requesting a bond of $500,000 on the sex battery charge and believes he's an extreme danger to the community."
Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s deputies had to restrain man after he tried to grab female detective's buttocks.
Mindy Glazer, a Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge, agreed, setting Rivers' bond at $500,000 for the sexual battery charge.
"He's a great danger to the community and women in Miami-Dade County given his criminal history," Glazer said in court.
The judge also ordered Rivers to have no contact with the victim and to stay away from FMU.
"You are not allowed to go to the school, and you must stay off school property," Glazer said.
FMU rape suspect criminal history detailed in court
In court, prosecutors detailed Rivers' criminal history, saying he was released from prison on Dec. 11, 2025, after serving nearly two years in state prison for lewd and lascivious exhibition. Court testimony also revealed Rivers has prior local convictions for aggravated stalking and robbery by sudden snatching.
Miami Gardens police said DNA evidence tied Rivers to the alleged sexual battery and investigators believe there may be additional victims.
In a statement, Opa-locka Police Department said the case highlights the collaborative efforts between agencies and their "continued commitment to public safety."
Rivers' total bond for all charges was set at more than $510,000. The investigation remains ongoing.
Suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Chop and screw legend Michael "5000" Watts passed away.
Chopped and screwed.
The legendary producer and mixer Michael "5000" Watts, co-founder of Swishahouse Records has passed away at the age of 52. He gave rise to Houston's biggest talents.
Mike Jones, Slim Thug, Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Lil Keke, Lil Flip, Trae tha Truth
He is best in slowing down and chopping up songs.
Watts, the visionary DJ and producer who founded the influential Swishahouse record label and helped propel Houston’s "chopped and screwed" sound to international prominence, has died. He was 52. His death was confirmed January 30, 2026, at Memorial Hermann Hospital in The Woodlands.
Watts had been hospitalized earlier this week with what family members described as "tremendous health issues."
‘He was a movement’
What they're saying: Watts' family and Swishahouse Records have released statements on his passing.
The DJ's family says he "developed a fatal heart rhythm called torsades de Pointes causing a sudden cardiac death." They say he passed away Friday surrounded by loved ones.
Johnny Dang, Paul Wall, Michael "5000" Watts and Chamillionaire.
"We truly appreciate the love shown to Michael throughout his career, and we ask for continued prayers as we navigate through this very hard journey," the family's statement reads.
Swishahouse Records credits its founder for helping "define the sound, spirit, and global influence of Houston hip-hop."
"Michael ‘5000’ Watts was more than a founder, he was a movement," the record's statement reads. "Beyond the music, Michael Watts was a mentor, a cultural curator, and a builder of opportunity. He believed in ownership, creativity, and the power of storytelling through sound."
In 1997, he co-founded Swishahouse, originally a grassroots mixtape label based in North Houston.
The label became a cornerstone of the "chopped and screwed" genre—a technique of slowing down tracks and skipping beats to create a heavy, rhythmic atmosphere.
While the style was pioneered by the late DJ Screw, Watts is credited with taking the sound from the streets of Houston to the national stage.
Under his leadership, Swishahouse transformed from an independent mixtape powerhouse into a commercial juggernaut that defined the sound of Texas rap in the mid-2000s.
In recent days, the Houston music community has rallied around the legend.
After news of his hospitalization broke on Jan. 28, artists like Paul Wall and Slim Thug took to social media to ask for prayers, highlighting the deep respect he commanded across generations.
Christian Menefee defeats AIPAC backed Democrat in U.S. House special election.
Rep-elect Christian Menefee (D-TX) will become the next U.S. House member. He will have to declare his reelection to fight for the 18th Congressional District against a potential Republican candidate.
Menefee's win also is a message to the Democratic Party....
Drop AIPAC and Israel.
The 37 year old will fill the remaining term of the late Sylvester Turner, the former lawmaker who was backed by AIPAC but died nine weeks into his term. Turner was the former mayor of Houston.
He might be delayed in swearing in. The government is partially shut down again.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) notoriously held Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) swearing in for over 40 days.
The former Harris County Attorney won the special election for a vacant House seat in Texas, NBC News projects, besting former Houston City Council member Amanda Edwards, backed by AIPAC in a Democrat-versus-Democrat contest.
AIPAC did not push its endorsement but Edwards was strongly supportive of Israel.
Edwards and Menefee are Black.
Pro Israel groups recruit Black candidates to run and push narratives that make issues about Israel equal to Black concerns.
Menefee will fill an 11-month vacancy in the Houston-area congressional district formerly represented by Turner until his death in March 2025. Menefee’s partial term will only run through the end of 2026, and he is already competing for a full term in a redrawn district.
After this election, the balance in the House will stand at 218 Republicans and 214 Democrats, with another two red seats and one blue seat still vacant with special elections pending later this year.
Menefee and Edwards advanced to the runoff after earning the most votes — but falling short of a majority — in a crowded, all-party November contest for Texas’ 18th Congressional District, which includes downtown Houston and surrounding parts of Harris County.
There weren’t many issues separating Menefee and Edwards, who both made affordability their key issue. The Houston Chronicle endorsed Menefee, saying both were strong candidates but that his experience as county attorney prepared him better to take on “hostile government overreach.”
Although Menefee will take the seat for the remainder of Turner’s term, he won’t stop campaigning, with the midterm elections and Texas’ March 3 primary fast approaching.
Being pro Israel is bad business. Amanda Edwards, a prominent figure in Houston lost to Menefee. AIPAC quietly backed her.
The current version of the district is changing after Texas’ Republican-led redistricting last year. Texas’ new maps come into effect for the regular 2026 election cycle, which includes the upcoming primary election on March 3 and the general election on Nov. 3, but not the special runoff election that took place on Saturday.
The primary field for the new district includes Menefee as well as longtime Democratic Rep. Al Green, whose old 9th District was converted into a Republican-leaning seat. Edwards is also among the Democratic candidates who filed for the regular primary in March.
As of Jan. 11, Menefee had outraised Edwards and had $388,000 on hand. Edwards had $280,000. At the end of September 2025, the most recent period covered by his campaign finance reports, Green had $572,000 in the bank.
Menefee is stepping into a congressional seat that saw two sitting representatives die less than a year apart, leaving it vacant for most of the last two years. Longtime Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s death in July 2024 left it empty until her daughter Erica Lee Carter was sworn in to complete the remainder of Jackson Lee’s term in November of that year. Turner then took office in January 2025 but died only months later.
The district has had a Black representative for more than 50 years, starting with Barbara Jordan in 1973, who was the first Southern Black woman elected to the House of Representatives.
Former prince, Andrew Mountbattan-Windsor smiles while he is positioned on an alleged underage girl.
Don Lemon gets arrested for following protesters into a church. The president, his allies and many elitists are never arrested for crimes against humanity.
It's a hoax when he is accused of doing it. When everyone else is involved, they're guilty as sin.
President Donald J. Trump, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew), Elon Musk, Alan Derschowitz, Bill Gates, former president Bill Clinton, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Steve Bannon, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, Steve Tisch and numerous others were mention in this latest drop of the Epstein files.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department was releasing more than 3 million pages of documents in the latest Epstein disclosure, as well as more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. The files, which were being posted to the department’s website, include some of the several million pages of records that officials said were withheld from an initial release of documents in December.
The documents were disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the law enacted after months of public and political pressure that requires the government to open its files on the late financier and his confidant and onetime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Trump and Robin Leach allegedly had underage girls perform sex acts on them.
A group of Epstein accusers and their relatives criticized the document release as a “betrayal” and said the massive cache of files released Friday protects the names of their abusers at their expense. In a statement, the group dismissed the notion that Friday’s release represented all the documents that should be legally made public.
There is an allegation that Trump had forced numerous girls to perform oral sex and fingering on their genitals. It also stated that the president is compromised by foreign operatives. Israel and Russia were notorious for honey pots.
Bill Gates allegedly caught a sexually transmitted infection messing with a Russian prostitute.
Epstein Gives Bill Gates Advice on Hiding Alleged STD From Wife
Also a part of the new file dump is a draft email Epstein was writing to himself in July 2013. In it, he addressed Bill Gates, accusing him of recently disregarding their “friendship.” In the lengthy message, he also made mention of Gates allegedly asking him to delete some past communications.
“TO add insult to the injury you them (sic) implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda and the description of your penis,” he wrote.
The latest drop comes as the administration has faced complaints from critics over its failure to release all the files by a December 19 deadline previously set by Congress.
Among them is a list of allegations made against the president, a former friend of Epstein’s. In FBI email communications — which note some of the allegations come secondhand — various allegations are listed that involve Trump, Epstein, and others.
The president, First Lady Melania Trump and Microsoft chairman Bill Gates. Gates allegedly caught syphilis after having sex with a Russian prostitute at Epstein's property.
It should be noted that these complaints are uncorroborated tips to the FBI, and the existence of those tips does not indicate eventual credibility.
Blanche said the White House had no oversight on the latest documents released. He told Fox News that there has been no evidence of criminal conduct by the president found in the Epstein files.
“In none of these communications, even when doing his best to disparage President Trump, did Epstein suggest President Trump had done anything criminal or had any inappropriate contact with any of his victims,” he said.
Trump himself has long denied any wrongdoing in his friendship with Epstein.
Since their original publication, the complaints mentioning Trump have been removed from the DOJ website with a “page not found” message being given to people trying to search for them. The complaints, however, have been widely copied and shared on social media.
Trump Accused of Raping Teenager
In a complaint made by a friend, the president was accused of forcing a 13-14-year-old to perform oral sex on him.
“[Redacted] reported an unidentified female friend who was forced to perform oral sex on President Trump approximately 35 years ago in NJ. The friend told Alexis that she was approximately 13-14 years old when this occurred, and the friend allegedly bit President Trump while performing oral sex. The friend was allegedly hit in the face after she laughed about biting President Trump. The friend said she was also abused by Epstein,” the complaint reads.
In the “response” column, it is noted that an investigator was sent to Washington to conduct an interview.

Trump Accused of Being Present While Newborn ‘Murdered’
Another in Epstein’s orbit also made allegations of “sex trafficking” and murder. The unidentified person was following up on a tip given to the NYPD in which the person alleged they were raped at 13. The person also alleged Trump regularly paid them to perform sexual acts and claimed he was present when her newborn child was murdered.
“Complainant reported Donald Trump participated regularly in paying money to force her to perform sex acts with him and alleged Trump was present when her uncle murdered her newborn child,” notes on the complaint read.
According to the paperwork, there was “no contact made.”
Mar-a-Lago ‘Calendar Girls’ Parties
Another complaint — for which there was no contact information provided — alleged that “calendar girls” parties at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago involved genital measurements for children.
“Jeffrey Epstein would bring the children in and Trump would auction them off. He measured the children’s vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness,” the complaint reads.
The person alleged people like Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump were present at these alleged parties.
Robin Leach and Trump’s Head of Security
One complainant claimed they witnessed a “sex trafficking ring at the Trump Golf Course” in Rancho Palo Verdes, California between 1995 and 1996. The person alleged Ghislaine Maxwell, a former Epstein associate now serving 20 years for sex trafficking, was a “madam” and “broker” for deals involving girls.
The person claimed they witnessed Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous host Robin Leach “strangle a young girl” at a party. The person also alleged a threat from Trump’s head of security if she “ever talked.” She claimed she was told she would “end up as fertilizer for the back nine holes like the other c*nts” if she spoke about what she had seen.
