Joni Lamb, the president and co-founder of Daystar Television Network, one of the world’s largest Christian television networks, has passed away. She was 65. “Prior to her recent back injury, Lamb had been dealing with serious health matters that she chose to face head on and in private. The back injury compounded those challenges and led to a more serious medical situation than anyone had anticipated. Despite the dedicated efforts of her medical team and the prayers of so many around the world, her condition worsened in the last few days,” Daystar said in a statement. “Joni founded Daystar Television Network alongside her late husband Marcus in 1993. Under her leadership, Daystar grew into one of the largest Christian television networks in the world, reaching viewers in nearly every country through satellite, cable, streaming, and digital platforms. She spent nearly four decades on-air and behind the scenes, building a ministry that brought the Gospel into millions of homes,” the statement continued. “With heavy hearts, we share the news that Joni Lamb graduated to Heaven this morning. We know that she is in the presence of Jesus, reunited with Marcus, and receiving her reward for a beautiful life lived in surrender to the Lord,” Daystar wrote on X.

The network is based in Bedford, a North Texas suburb between Dallas and Fort Worth. The Daystar Board of Directors praised her faith, leadership and legacy in a statement. “Joni’s love for the Lord and for the people we serve shaped this ministry from the beginning,” the Daystar board said. “We grieve her loss, and we are grateful for the legacy of faith she leaves behind.” Her family is requesting prayers and privacy. “Daystar’s mission does not change today. Previously, Lamb worked with the board to ensure an executive leadership team was in place so that the ministry would continue uninterrupted. Programming will proceed as scheduled, with on-air tributes to follow in the coming days,” the statement continued. AL.com noted: Lamb and her late husband, Marcus, launched their TV ministry with their first TV station in Montgomery, Alabama in 1985, WMCF-TV, called “45 Alive.” They sold that in 1990 and later moved to a larger station in Dallas and launched KMPX-TV 29 in 1993. They added other stations and launched Daystar TV Network in 1998. Marcus died in 2021 after 39 years of marriage. Joni remarried in 2023 to Dr. Doug Weiss, who joined her as a co-host on Daystar.

A showdown between Republican Spencer Pratt and his two Democratic rivals in the Los Angeles mayoral race had more than a few mic-drop moments, but one that attracted particular attention came when the GOP candidate took on the city’s devastating drug problem. Pratt, a former reality television star whose home burned down in the Palisades fire, used the lax drug policies of both incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman against them. Here’s what Fox News reported: “First off, Inside Safe, I like to say Inside Safe makes all of us outside, unsafe,” Pratt said near the midpoint of the debate. Inside Safe is a municipal program spearheaded by Bass intended to take people out of homeless encampments and bring them into temporary or permanent indoor housing. A city report found that it spent $300 million on the project, which assisted roughly 6,000 people, 40% of whom have since ended up back on the streets. “The reality is, no matter how many beds you give these people, they are on super meth,” Pratt continued. “They are on fentanyl. The DEA statistic says 93% of this is a drug addiction problem. I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with [Raman] and we can find some of these people she’s going to offer treatment for. She’s going to get stabbed in the neck.” The viral moment attracted significant discussion on social media: That’s really what it’s like to live in Los Angeles. I live here.. it used to not be like this. Spencer Pratt won the debate hands-down.. the other two are frightening to live under. They’re dangerous..

In the Debate Pratt put both Raman and Bass on blast, “Treatment first, I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her and we can find some of these people she’s going to offer treatment for. She’s gonna get stabbed in the neck. These people do not want a bed, they want fentanyl or super meth.” “These ideas cost us over 400 million dollars to house 3,000 people? For 400 million this absolute failure for both of them, they’re a team.” Fast Facts:

The Pentagon has released the first batch of the long-awaited UFO Files. On Friday morning, the Department of War released its first batch of UFO Files, which included several photos of UAPs, UFOs and bizarre objects. The files were released on War.gov/UFO/ and contain mostly eyewitness reports on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenas and Unidentified Flying Objects from U.S. service members and astronauts. Here are some photos and videos contained within the files: https://t.co/uoCeNbSrSn pic.twitter.com/QVmj18tjLx — DOW Rapid Response (@DOWResponse) May 8, 2026 BREAKING: The U.S. Department of War just released UFO files. Trump directed the release of "files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, UAP, and UFOs." The files Include Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 imagery, plus FBI photos of unidentified objects over the western US. pic.twitter.com/GHzidnAgsO — International Cyber Digest (@IntCyberDigest) May 8, 2026 The New York Post reported more on the release: The War Department released more than 160 files Friday related to sightings of UFOs dating back nearly 80 years, two days after President Trump predicted, “I think some of it’s going to be very interesting to people.” The disclosure of 162 files by the Pentagon follows a presidential order from February calling for transparency around “alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).” “The American people can now access the federal government’s declassified UAP files instantly. The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place — no clearance required,” the Pentagon said in a post on X broadcasting the file dump. “While past administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American people, President Trump is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files.” Included in the tranche published Friday were videos of bizarre-looking objects taken in the skies over Greece, Iraq, Japan, the United Arab Emirates and the US across the decades. Also released were a trove of intelligence reports and FBI case files that included apparent eyewitness testimony and public reports about possible sightings over the years, some of which came with a note admitting that information had already “partially” been made public.

Trump’s directive for transparency on U.S. government information regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the Department of War (DOW), with support from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is overseeing government wide efforts to expeditiously find, review, identify, declassify and publicly release unresolved UAP-related records and historical documents in the federal government’s possession. This is an unprecedented, historic undertaking that requires coordination between dozens of agencies and the review of tens of millions of records, many existing only on paper, spanning many decades. Given the scope of this task, the Department of War will be releasing new materials on a rolling basis as they are discovered and declassified, with tranches posted every few weeks. The materials archived here are unresolved cases, meaning the government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including a lack of sufficient data, and the Department of War welcomes the application of private-sector analysis, information and expertise. DOW will continue to conduct separate reporting on resolved UAP cases, as mandated by statute. Under this Administration, we will pursue the truth and share our findings with the American people.

Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) faces accusations that he physically abused his ex-wife. Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, is the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH). According to the New York Post, “shocking selfies” obtained by the Daily Mail documented the alleged abuse. The outlet reported the photos “appear to show bruises on her arms and torso and burns on her chest from the Republican congressman’s purported fits of rage.” Miller emphatically denied the allegations.

Max Miller accused of shocking physical abuse by ex-wife – but congressman claims allegations are made up https://t.co/Rcz9D1Z2I2 pic.twitter.com/80V8t7Hjj0 — New York Post (@nypost) May 8, 2026 More from the New York Post: The most recent instance of alleged abuse took place on Feb. 1, after an argument broke out when Moreno, 32, went over to Miller’s Ohio home to pick up their 2-year-old daughter, according to the claims. Miller, 37, allegedly grabbed and hit Moreno in front of their daughter, leaving black, blue and red marks on her arms, elbow and abdomen. Moreno snapped photos in front of a bathroom mirror the following day showing her injuries. The Bay Village Police Department confirmed that it responded to a report of child abuse on that date and that an investigation is ongoing, according to the outlet. In an earlier incident, Miller allegedly hurled a pot of boiling water at Moreno during a June 9, 2024, argument. Some of the boiling water hit Moreno in the chest and she took photographs of her injuries the same day, sources told the outlet. Miller has represented Ohio’s 7th Congressional District since 2023. He previously worked on President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and had numerous roles in Trump’s first administration. In response, Miller said the article published by the Daily Mail is “nothing but lies.” “Once again, the media refuses to tell the truth. Let me be clear. The recent article by the @dailymail is nothing but lies. My team gave you everything you needed to refute these claims, but instead, @nieto_phillip and the @Daily_MailUS are stenographers for someone who truly needs help,” Miller said. “Seeing how this hack of a ‘reporter’ refuses to admit we sent him a response, everything sent to @nieto_phillip is below. If the media will not tell the truth, I will,” he continued. Seeing how this hack of a "reporter" refuses to admit we sent him a response, everything sent to @nieto_phillip is below.

Miller is required to pay $2,500 per month in child support. In court documents obtained by TMZ in April, Moreno claimed that Miller “regularly speaks to me in an inappropriate, aggressive and demeaning manner, which is not in the best interest of our child.” She continued, alleging that Miller “has conducted dangerous physical behavior in the child’s presence.” “I do not believe it is in our child’s best interest for [Miller] and me to jointly make a decision for her,” expressing concern that attempting to make joint decisions would “cause direct harm” to their daughter. Miller is the grandson of businessman Samuel Henry Miller, a multimillionaire Cleveland property tycoon, and his grandmother previously ran for Congress. Moreno’s father, Bernie, 59, is a multimillionaire car salesman born in Colombia. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2024.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore went on the ‘PBD Podcast’ and was asked how he would respond if his teenage son asked him to transition to a girl. “Your son comes in saying he wants to transition, what do you do?” Patrick Bet-David asked the Democrat governor. “Well first, I mean if it’s, you know, it’s my son, so I love him regardless, right? And he’s always gonna have my undying love. That’s, that’s me, right?” Moore responded. “I want to make sure that I’m involved in understanding where he is, how he’s feeling, the way he’s feeling, why he thinks it’s important. If this is a journey that he wants to go down, I want him to always be comfortable in his own skin and I want him to always know that he has a partner in me to help him along that journey,” Moore continued. “Would you advise him to wait till he’s 18?” Bet-David questioned. “If this is how he is feeling and I feel like I’m, I’m closely tied to him, I’m not going to advise him on something that he feels is,” Moore said. “At 14-years-old, Wes,” Bet-David chimed in. “But what I’m saying is the most important thing for me is I want him to feel safe in his own skin, safe in his own decision making, but also know that at 14-years-old, I want to be involved inside of that process as well. I’m not going to condemn him nor castigate him. I’m not going to kick him out of the house. I’m not going to do anything that’s going to hurt him. But I just want to make sure that I’m involved,” Moore continued. Watch the exchange: Maryland Governor Wes Moore says he would let his son go through gender mutilation as a minor if he wanted to.
