Every time the media tells us the “Trump magic” is wearing off, the voters step in and set the record straight. That’s exactly what happened this week. Republicans just posted huge wins in two off-cycle elections — one in New Mexico, one in Florida — and the margins are not even close. We’re talking massive double-digit overperformances compared to how President Trump did in those same areas in 2024. Translation? The MAGA movement isn’t just holding. It’s growing. Take a look at what has folks across conservative social media fired up: MAGA IS ALIVE: Three local Republican wins on April 14, 2026: West Miami mayor (+11% over Trump 2024). West Miami city council (+18%).Rio Rancho NM mayor runoff where Paul Wymer leads 65-35 (vs. Trump's +3 there).— Bella (@stockbella) April 15, 2026 In New Mexico — a state Democrats have been crowing about for years — Republican Paul Wymer just crushed his Democrat opponent in the Rio Rancho mayoral runoff by a nearly 2-to-1 margin. In 2024, President Trump barely squeaked by in Rio Rancho with a slim 51-49 win. This time? Wymer took it 63-37. That’s not a shift. That’s a landslide. Newsweek laid out the numbers: Republican-backed candidates won in elections in New Mexico and Florida with large majorities bucking a trend of Democrats making gains in votes during President Donald Trump’s second term, according to preliminary results.In West Miami municipal elections, Eric Diaz-Padron secured 70 percent of the vote to Yolanda Aguilar’s 29 percent in the race to be mayor, while sitting commissioners Gustavo “Gus” Ceballos and Juan Blanes and now commissioner-elect Victoria de la Torre all won by similar margins.During the 2024 presidential election, Trump won the city by 64.1 percent of the vote, compared to Kamala Harris’ 34.1 percent.In New Mexico, Paul Wymer is on track to win the race to be the next mayor of Rio Rancho, according to unofficial election results. Wymer, a registered Republican according to the Santa Fe New Mexican, has 63 percent of the vote to Alexandria Piland’s 37 percent in a runoff election. Let that sink in. Trump won West Miami 64-34 in 2024. The Republican mayor there just pulled 70 percent. Bill Mitchell said what a lot of us were already thinking:

Washington is finally waking up to something most Americans have been screaming about for years — Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick allegedly stole $5 million in FEMA disaster relief money, and she’s still sitting in Congress casting votes. Not for much longer, if House Speaker Mike Johnson has anything to say about it. On Tuesday, Johnson told reporters something you almost never hear a sitting Speaker say about a fellow House member: the facts are in, the Ethics Committee has spoken, and the Florida Democrat “should be expelled.” This one isn’t even close. https://x.com/nicksortor/status/2044432258753237061 Just to set the scene: the House Ethics Committee ran a years-long, bipartisan investigation. They interviewed hundreds of people. They reviewed tens of thousands of documents. And in the end, the panel found Cherfilus-McCormick guilty of 25 out of 27 ethics violations. Even AOC is reportedly on board with expelling her. When AOC is agreeing with Mike Johnson about tossing a Democrat from Congress, you know the evidence has to be pretty damning. The Hill had the Speaker’s quote: House Speaker Johnson (R-La.) said he thinks the House will agree that Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) should be expelled from Congress. A House Ethics subcommittee last month announced that the panel had proven 25 of 27 counts of ethics violations against Cherfilus-McCormick, who is under federal indictment over allegations that she stole $5 million from FEMA disaster funds for personal use. The committee has scheduled a hearing on April 21 to determine what kind of sanctions would be appropriate to take against her. She has denied any wrongdoing. “I have been a zealous guardian of due process around here,” Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. “I do think certainly on Cherfilus-McCormick, the Ethics Committee has gone through all of its processes, and they found some alarming facts. I think the facts are indisputable at this point, and so I believe it’ll be the consensus of this body that she should be expelled.” “The facts are indisputable.” That’s the kind of line a Speaker uses when he already knows the math is there. And about those facts — prosecutors say she didn’t just steal FEMA money. She allegedly used it to fund her own congressional run and buy herself luxury items. One of the specific allegations swirling online has been impossible to miss: https://x.com/pineapplegirl84/status/2044619174027125141 Let that one sink in. Democrats told us FEMA was broke when people in Maui, East Palestine, and Western North Carolina needed help. But apparently FEMA had plenty of money sitting around for a congresswoman to allegedly live large on. Fox News laid out the scale of what she’s actually facing: House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters Tuesday that he would support expelling Cherfilus-McCormick from Congress, citing a bipartisan adjudicatory subcommittee finding her guilty of more than two dozen ethics violations in March. The ethics panel’s guilty verdict was the culmination of a yearslong investigation during which the group interviewed hundreds of individuals and reviewed tens of thousands of documents. Cherfilus-McCormick is facing more than five decades in prison for allegedly stealing millions in disaster relief funds to finance her run for Congress and purchase luxury items. She is also accused of participating in a straw donor scheme and conspiring to file a false federal tax return. Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., has pledged to introduce an expulsion resolution against Cherfilus-McCormick, but he said he would wait until the ethics panel releases its recommended punishment against the Florida Democrat. The group is scheduled to hold a hearing announcing its suggested sanction for Cherfilus-McCormick next week. Fifty-plus years in prison. 25 proven violations. And a Speaker of the House publicly saying her removal is the consensus of the chamber. Conservatives on X are already celebrating what could be a rare win for accountability: https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2044432975429865637 The April 21 hearing will determine what sanctions the Ethics Committee recommends. Rep. Greg Steube already has the expulsion resolution ready to drop on the floor the moment that report lands. Two-thirds of the House is needed to expel her. With Johnson, Steube, Luna, Mace, and even some Democrats already on record — the votes look like they’re there. Next Tuesday is going to be one to watch.What’s your opinion?

Trump has been patient with Jerome Powell. He’s said so himself, multiple times. But as of Wednesday, that patience officially has a hard deadline — and the deadline is May 15. In a Fox Business interview with Maria Bartiromo, President Trump put Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on notice: leave quietly when your chairman’s term ends next month, or get fired. No more waiting. No more holding back. “I’ve held back firing him,” Trump said. “I’ve wanted to fire him, but I hate to be controversial, you know?” Then the bottom line: “Well then, I’ll have to fire him.” Here’s what he said: President Trump says he will fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell if he stays in his role after his term expires.https://t.co/Voqkg3FJgr— CNN (@CNN) April 15, 2026 This has been building for a long time. Trump has been pressing Powell for months to lower interest rates. He’s called him ineffective. He’s said the Fed is out of step with what the American economy needs. And every time, Powell holds the line and does nothing. So now there’s a deadline. Powell’s term as Fed chairman ends May 15. Trump’s pick to replace him — former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh — has his confirmation hearing scheduled for next Tuesday, April 21. The plan was a clean handoff: Warsh comes in, Powell steps out, everyone moves on. Except Powell won’t step out. Wall Street Journal Fed reporter Nick Timiraos broke down the full standoff Wednesday: Trump tells Bartiromo he doesn't want to drop any Fed probe because he thinks the cost overruns need to be examined.He says Tillis's threat to delay Warsh's confirmation isn't serious… and if it is, he'll fire Powell after Powell's term ends https://t.co/pA3Uipz1wT— Nick Timiraos (@NickTimiraos) April 15, 2026 Here’s the deal. Powell’s chairman term ends May 15 — but his term as a Fed board governor runs to 2028. And Powell says he’s not walking away from that board role because of a DOJ criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve’s $2.5 billion headquarters renovation. He won’t leave until it’s “well and truly over.” The problem? A federal judge already ruled that investigation was a political setup. Judge James Boasberg found the government offered “no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed any crime other than displeasing the President” — and wrote there was “abundant evidence that the subpoenas’ dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass and pressure Powell either to yield to the President or to resign.” Despite that ruling, DOJ prosecutors showed up at the Fed construction site on Tuesday. They’re not backing down either. NPR had more on what both sides are saying: “He’s doing a bad job,” Trump said of Powell. “He should be lowering interest rates.” Powell told reporters he would stay on the job. “That is what the law calls for,” he said. “And that’s what we’re going to do in this situation.” He also declared: “I have no intention of leaving the board until the investigation is well and truly over, with transparency and finality.” Trump declined to halt the DOJ probe. “Don’t you think we have to find out what happened there?” the president said. Now here’s what makes this whole thing a knot. Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina — a Republican and key vote on the Senate Banking Committee — says he won’t confirm Warsh as the new Fed chair until the DOJ investigation against Powell is resolved. So the investigation Trump is using to pressure Powell out is also blocking his replacement from getting in. Trump isn’t backing down. He says Tillis will come around — suggesting the senator “doesn’t want the legacy of having an incompetent guy stay there for longer than is necessary.” And if Tillis doesn’t? Trump says he’ll fire Powell the moment his chair term ends and sort out the confirmation mess later. Spectrum News laid out where the legal battle stands: The investigation concerns Powell’s testimony about the Federal Reserve’s $2.5 billion Washington headquarters renovation. A federal judge quashed government subpoenas last month after prosecutors acknowledged finding no evidence of crime, though U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro vowed to appeal the decision. The Supreme Court is separately reviewing Trump’s attempt to remove Fed board member Lisa Cook — a case that could ultimately define just how much authority a president has over the supposedly independent Federal Reserve. So here’s where things stand on the eve of a Senate confirmation hearing that might not go anywhere: Powell is dug in. Trump has issued a deadline. The Senate is gridlocked. The courts are watching. And Jeanine Pirro is appealing. May 15 is less than a month away. Something is going to have to give.

Treating cancer is big business and one that makes the big pharmaceutical companies massive amounts of cash. In 2024 alone, cancer treatments generated at least $200 billion in worldwide sales for the pharmaceutical industry. This is more than generated by the booming obesity drug rush. Unfortunately, according to a Bloomberg analysis, fewer than half of treatments they reviewed — some of which have painful side effects — have been shown to extend patients’ lives. Given the massive profit motive it shouldn’t be surprising that big pharma has shown zero interest in low-cost cancer treatments. Indeed, off-label use of of anti-parasitic drugs like ivermectin and mebendazole have demonstrated highly promising anti-cancer activity in preclinical models. But despite compelling preclinical data and documented safe use in cancer patients, robust clinical evidence evaluating the ivermectin–mebendazole combination in oncology remains limited. This is exactly why Dr. Peter McCullough, and a number of his colleagues at The Wellness Company, have recently authored a first of its kind study of the application of Ivermectin+Mebendazole in the treatment of cancer. The results of this study are nothing short of groundbreaking. 84% Clinical Benefit In a first-of-its-kind report, 197 cancer patients were prescribed The Wellness Company’s compounded Ivermectin (25mg) + Mebendazole (250mg). Of the 122 patients who completed the 6-month follow-up: 84.4% reported clinical benefit (no evidence of disease, tumor shrinkage, or stable disease) 48.4% reported the strongest positive outcomes — tumor shrinkage or no current evidence of disease 86.9% completed their initial prescription with most side effects reported as mild These two Nobel Prize-recognized and FDA-approved compounds work through a dual-action mechanism: Ivermectin disrupts tumor growth pathways and triggers cancer cell death (apoptosis), while Mebendazole starves abnormal cells by blocking their ability to absorb glucose. Together, in one compounded capsule, they deliver a protocol that patients could actually follow — and did. According to Dr. McCullough, “This study reveals an exciting new potential that should expand the consideration of ivermectin and mebendazole for inclusion in the treatment of multiple cancer types. We urgently need a full-fledged scientific investigation into this class of medications and their impact on cancer treatment.” What Does this Potential Breakthrough mean for You? Here is a tough reality – Cancer doesn’t care how healthy you are. It doesn’t announce itself. And by the time most people find out, they’re handed a treatment plan that’s brutal on the body, devastating on the wallet, and uncertain in its results. Standard chemotherapy drugs can cost tens of thousands of dollars per cycle — and too often, the outcomes don’t match the price tag. And here’s what makes it worse: you feel powerless. You’re told there’s only one path — the conventional path — and questioning it makes you a “difficult person.” Meanwhile, you watch the side effects pile up, the bills multiply, and the uncertainty eat away at your peace of mind. You’re left wondering: Is this really the best we can do? We need effective options that work with the body — not against it — that are accessible, affordable, and backed by real clinical data. Every day without a proactive plan is another day you’re leaving your health to chance. Cancer rates are rising, and conventional treatments alone aren’t delivering the results patients deserve. But now, there’s real-world clinical evidence pointing to a powerful complementary option — compounded by a licensed 50-state U.S. pharmacy and prescribed by licensed American doctors. If you or someone you love is facing a cancer diagnosis — or if you simply believe in taking a proactive approach to your health — then getting The Wellness Company’s Ivermectin + Mebendazole into your hands is the right decision. Have a clinically studied, doctor-prescribed tool in your corner — one that’s affordable, easy to follow, and backed by the kind of real-world results that give you and your family genuine hope and control over your health.

My daughter was diagnosed with uterine cancer and lung nodules that turned out to be cancerous. She started taking ivermectin/mebendazole 2 weeks ago. She had a PET scan last month and her lungs were littered with dime and pea sized nodules from the top to the bottom of her lungs. She had a biopsy on the 14th of April and the Physcian had to SEARCH for a nodule big enough to get a sample from, and the ONE that he found was at the bottom of her left lung that he said was only a few centimeters wide….

California is the bluest state in America. Democrats have run it for decades. They control every statewide office, dominate the legislature, and haven’t lost a governor’s race since 2006. Right now, they are genuinely terrified of losing the next one. After Rep. Eric Swalwell dropped out of the governor’s race last week — following multiple sexual assault allegations — the California Democratic Party is staring at a scenario nobody thought was possible: being completely shut out of the November general election. Here’s how California works. The state uses a top-two primary system — all candidates from all parties compete together on June 2, and only the top two vote-getters advance to November, regardless of party. With eight Democrats dividing up the vote and two Republicans running strong — Steve Hilton (Trump-endorsed) and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco — there is a real chance that both November spots go to Republicans. No Democrat makes it to the general. In the most Democratic state in the country. The panic is real. Take a look: NEW from me – Until Friday, the Democratic race that Gavin Newsom was focused on was not the one for the job he’s term limited out of. How he's approaching the mess of the CA governor's race left in Eric Swalwell's wake:https://t.co/gA7IQXw1pa— Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) April 15, 2026 Governor Gavin Newsom — the outgoing governor who has been eyeing a national political future — is now reportedly in a “marathon of calls and meetings” trying to figure out what to do. His problem is that he doesn’t love any of the remaining Democratic candidates. According to CNN’s reporting, Newsom is worried Tom Steyer would be “too all over the place on positions and management to effectively run the state.” He worries Katie Porter would “drive business out” of California. He has tensions with Antonio Villaraigosa from their 2018 primary battle. He’s “not a fan” of Matt Mahan, who frequently criticized him publicly. And he’s unhappy with how Xavier Becerra performed as attorney general. In other words: Newsom hates his options, but he’s running out of time. Mail-in ballots go out in weeks. And today — April 15 — was the California Democratic Party’s own deadline for struggling candidates without “meaningful progress” to drop out. This sums it up well: Gavin Newsom's thoughts on the current field of Dem candidates for governor:Steyer: incoherent, mismanagement worriesPorter: would trigger capital flightMahan: not a fan of his frequent criticismVillaraigosa: still sore over 2018 raceBecerra: unsatisfactory job as AG https://t.co/5bD5O3ykVq pic.twitter.com/5vLGFm5TiV— Rob Pyers (@rpyers) April 15, 2026 CNN reported on just how chaotic Newsom’s situation has become since Swalwell’s implosion: Since CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle broke their stories about Swalwell on Friday night, Newsom has been in a marathon of calls and meetings about the governor’s race, according to a dozen leading Democrats. Several Democrats have urged Newsom to provide leadership to avoid a potential Republican lockout of the governor’s office in the June primary. Party leaders worry that the crowded Democratic field will divide their vote and allow the two Republicans — Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco — to finish first and second. Sen. Adam Schiff has been warning that Democrats could get shut out of the runoff in the governor’s race — which he described as “a distinct possibility that none of us can afford to ignore.” And it’s not like the Democratic candidates are all that strong to begin with. This is California — the same state that has been hemorrhaging residents and companies for years while its politicians patted themselves on the back. One observer put it simply: Very funny of Newsom to accuse someone of mismanagement.— J O H N (@johnholowach) April 15, 2026 Townhall’s Star Parker put California’s dysfunction in sharp focus on Wednesday: California’s open primary system allows the top two vote-getters from any party to advance to November’s general election. With eight Democrats splitting their support, two Republican candidates — Steve Hilton (Trump-endorsed) and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco — currently lead in polling. The state faces serious challenges. From 2010 to 2024, there were 10 million departures from California and only 7 million arrivals. Major corporations including Chevron, Tesla, and Oracle have relocated out of state. Only 1 in 3 Californians see their state as a good place to realize the American dream. California has not elected a Republican governor since Arnold Schwarzenegger left office in 2011. Democrats have run California into the ground and now can’t even agree on who should fix it. The candidates they have left are people even their own governor doesn’t want in charge of the state. Pelosi, Schiff, and Padilla are reportedly in talks about whether to jointly endorse a single candidate to consolidate the Democratic vote. But that requires agreement — and so far, there isn’t any. The June 2 primary is coming. The clock is ticking. And for the first time in a generation, California Democrats are genuinely worried they might not be there for November.
