A Democrat politician in South Florida was found dead inside her home on Wednesday. Police officers found Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen, also a vice chair of the Florida Democratic Party, around 10 a.m. during a welfare check. Bowen’s death is being investigated as a “domestic violence incident.” “Reports indicated that her husband was taken into custody Wednesday, though officials have not said whether he will face charges,” WFLA stated. “I’ve just gotten word that Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen (@NMetayerBowen) has been shot and killed. Her husband, Stephen, is a suspect and is now in custody after initially fleeing to Plantation,” Florida Politics reporter Jesse Scheckner wrote.

Her husband, Stephen, is a suspect and is now in custody after initially fleeing to Plantation. Story coming. More on this as it develops. — Jesse Scheckner (@JesseScheckner) April 1, 2026 Fox News shared further: The chief said there were no other suspects being sought. Bowen was first elected to the Coral Springs City Commission in 2020 and was re-elected in 2024. She was appointed by the commission last November to serve a second, one-year term as vice mayor, according to her bio on the city’s website. Before being elected to the commission, Bowen worked as an environmental scientist who formerly served on the Broward County Soil and Water Conservation District, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported. Bowen’s family confirmed her death on her social media accounts. “Throughout her years in public office, she led with integrity, compassion, and an unwavering sense of purpose,” the family’s statement said. “I’m in shock. I was just with her on Saturday. She just buried her brother. She was about to announce she was running for Congress. Nancy was one of the nicest people I worked with. Always fighting for her community, always pushing to help. She had such a future. This is terrible,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) said. I’m in shock. I was just with her on Saturday.

Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried released a statement following news of Bowen’s death, writing that “she loved her community deeply and believed, with every fiber of her being, that a better and more equitable future was possible for all of us.” “Her memory will forever be a blessing to me, to our party, and to every person whose life she touched,” Fried said. “My heart, my prayers, and the full love of the Florida Democratic Party are with her family and the people of Coral Springs as they face this unimaginable, devastating loss.” Bowen’s family described her as “a sister, a daughter, and a friend whose warmth and laughter filled every room” in a statement posted to Instagram Wednesday “Her legacy will live on not only in the policies she helped shape, but in the countless lives she touched,” the family wrote, in part. “We ask for privacy as our family grieves, and we thank everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.” Watch additional coverage below:

A Democrat congresswoman posted and quickly deleted a social media post responding to President Trump attending oral arguments at the Supreme Court. “So f***ing f***ed up. I’ll pray they f*** him to his face,” Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) said. “Sorry, I say f*** a lot these days,” she added. “In a now deleted post, Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) said of President Trump going to SCOTUS this morning,” Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin said. In a now deleted post, Rep.

Trump spent just over an hour inside the courtroom for arguments made by the Republican administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer, Solicitor General D. John Sauer. The president departed shortly after lawyer Cecillia Wang began her presentation in defense of broad birthright citizenship. “Sadly, this is not an April fools joke. Just @SusieLeeNV off the rails. NVDems are the real joke,” the Nevada GOP wrote. Sadly, this is not an April fools joke. Just @SusieLeeNV off the rails.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, which works to elect GOP members to the House, was quick to attack Lee for the since-deleted post. “Democrat Susie Lee has become Nevada’s fool, more focused on vulgar outbursts than doing the job she was elected to do,” NRCC spokesman Christian Martinez said in a statement. “Hitting delete doesn’t clean up her mess, it just proves she knows how embarrassing it is.”

Jack Pugh, a former tight end on the University of Wisconsin football team, has passed away. He was 24. Pugh stepped away from football three years ago, citing mental health concerns. “The Wisconsin Athletics family is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Jack Pugh. Jack was a positive light and brought a genuine spirit to our football program,” Wisconsin Football said in a statement. “More than that, he cared about people and was loved by his teammates and staff. Jack proudly earned his degree from UW-Madison in 2025 and will forever be remembered and loved,” it continued. Our thoughts are with Jack’s family during this difficult time. pic.twitter.com/nvMTNoAMiQ — Wisconsin Football (@BadgerFootball) April 1, 2026 More from the Associated Press: Pugh, who was from Columbus, Ohio, redshirted in 2021 before appearing in one game and earning academic All-Big Ten honors in 2022. He announced in an Instagram post in December 2023 that he had decided before that season to medically retire. “My physical health was not near perfect, but my mental health was the reason I decided to hang it up,” Pugh said in that Instagram post. “Over years of prolonged depression and substance abuse, I decided I deserved a better life and to finally find happiness. In no way was football the root of these problems, but everything in my life had distracted me for so long to the point I never had prioritized my mental health all along, digging a deeper darker hole.” “I want to thank the amazing Coaches, Teammates, Friends and Family @badgerfootball has provided me with over the years for helping me find a life I’m happy and proud of, and to finally create a relationship with God. I’ll never forget the memories. Love y’all.” No cause of death has been disclosed at this time.

Despite the lack of experience, Pugh received nearly two dozen offers that included Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State, Maryland and Minnesota.

A Massachusetts man has been arrested for allegedly threatening to kill President Trump. “Defendant allegedly posted messages on Facebook threatening to injure and kill the President,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts stated in a release. “Andrew D. Emerald, 45, was indicted by a federal grand jury on eight counts of interstate transmission of threatening communications. Emerald was arrested this morning and will appear in federal court in Springfield, Mass., at 2:30 p.m. today,” it continued.

Last year, Emerald allegedly made eight Facebook posts in which he threatened to injure the president. Among his alleged posts: “When I see to it that Trump is put to death. It will be the the day the purpose creation put me here for beyond creating. My daughter is fulfilled. (because what she is destined to do for the world is far greater than mine, taking out the orange menace!)” “Oh, I’m not just watching!! Either Trump is dead and in the ground by 2026 or I am hunting him down and putting him there. Do you hear that FBI and any other organization that wants to show up at my (expletive) door? Put the enemy of the United States in a (expletive) body bag or I will.” “Cause and effect. Trump being a monster to humanity caused this family suffering, and they might never choose to have children because of him Affect we’re going to (expletive) kill Trump on public television so the world sees what we do to (expletive) monsters and then we’re gonna hang him from the Statue of Liberty until his pathetic bloated corpse rots off falls in the ocean, and I swept out the to see with humanities trash. After what I just heard if Trump is not dead by 2026 I’m going to Mar-a-Lago and I’m going after myself.” “The charge of interstate transmission of threatening communications provides for a sentence of up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000,” the release continued. “Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case,” it added. FBI swoops as Massachusetts dad's chilling Trump death vow sparks terror probe https://t.co/4riszC6CU6 — Daily Mail (@DailyMail) April 1, 2026 Daily Mail shared further: He claimed the President was a ‘Russian asset’ in another outburst two days later, and on May 30 threatened to burn down Mar-a-Lago. ‘I’ll make sure you’re at Mar-a-Lago when I burn it to the f***ing ground,’ he wrote. The rants continued as recently as Tuesday, with Emerald referring to the President as a ‘mad a** authoritarian king.’ On March 21, he posted a scene from the 2025 action movie Captain America: Brave New World showing the White House engulfed in flames. Emerald, who appears in Facebook posts alongside a young girl believed to be his daughter, has claimed he does not suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, a term for pathological hatred of the President popularized by his supporters. Trump has been repeatedly targeted by political extremists, including two assassination attempts during the last presidential election campaign.

This is really a must-watch… Definitely one of the best videos I’ve ever seen Glenn Beck put out, and he’s done a lot. But he PERFECTLY explains who President Trump is (War-Time President) and why he’s acting the way he is….and also why everyone else is responding to him in the way they are. It really connects all the dots and shows you what’s coming next. Watch here (full transcript below if you prefer that): FULL TRANSCRIPT: The President is going to speak on, I don’t know, what he says is the Iran war, but it could be… I mean, did you see what he posted yesterday on Truth? I mean, I felt really good but at the same time I’m like, “Wow, I’ve never seen a President say this.” All of those countries—I’m quoting the President—all of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you. Number one: buy from the US. We have plenty. Number two: build up some delayed courage. Go to the Strait and take it. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself. The USA won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been essentially decimated. The hard part is done. Now go get your own oil. President Donald J. Trump. Holy cow. Holy cow. Now, he has been leading towards this for a very long time. He’s been saying it really since his first term. “Why are we in NATO? Why are we spending all this money? We don’t need to be in NATO.” Now, tonight he gives his speech at 9:00. We don’t know what it is. However, we do know that it has something to do with Iran and the rest of the world because already the Prime Minister of England, the Prime Minister of Australia, and the head of the EU have all given a speech. The Prime Minister of England said, “We now know that getting out of the EU is really wrong. We all have to band together.” They are preparing, I think, for some sort of a “America’s not going to defend us.” Good. Good. Good. Grow up and protect yourself. Now, the problem is they’re not going to have all the money that they, you know, they still don’t have for all of their social programs. So, they’re going to go into a real tailspin if that happens. But, hey, they’re big boys now. You know, you have to deal with your own problems. They’re also saying that this is—I mean, Starmer actually used the language of “this is going to be extraordinarily hard and difficult” on a coming energy crisis. So we don’t know what’s going to happen. But I’ve been thinking about this for the last few days because I thought about wartime generals, and I think Trump is a wartime President. So what does a wartime general do? It’s not a personality thing or just in tone or whatever. It is a cut-from-a-completely-different-cloth kind of thing. A wartime general operates under the central assumption that we are already in danger. Just make this checklist in your head as I go through this. Is he a wartime President? Does President Trump believe the republic is already in danger? Not hypothetically. Right now we are in danger. If he does, that assumption changes everything. I believe he thinks we are in danger on multiple fronts. Not just Iran, you know, with the nukes, but the Islamists, the 12ers, Islam taking over Western Europe. The Marxists, the socialists, the anarchists, big money foundations of Soros, corrupt press, big tech, the court systems, the CIA, DOJ, the corruption, the cartels, the illegals, the crime, war on faith, war on the family. I mean, he thinks we—and we are—we are at war with all of those things. So if he believes that, then that changes a few things. First, now listen to these characteristics that change if you’re a wartime general. First one is clarity over consensus. A wartime general does not wait for polling to confirm reality. He acts on what is, not what is popular. Does that not sound like Donald Trump? Speed over process. In war, delay kills. Bureaucracy is not neutral; it’s lethal in war. He also believes, or a wartime general also believes, outcomes over optics. Victory matters more than how it looks on cable news. Does that not explain how he’s operating right now in this war? It’s almost as if he doesn’t care about the optics. He’s like, “This has to be done.” The other one is enemy identification. A wartime general names the threat plainly. It’s foreign. It’s domestic. Whatever it is, and they do not soften the language to preserve comfort. Ronald Reagan did this—this is an evil empire. Donald Trump does that with all of it. Whatever he sees. Remember his list of “we’re at war,” and we are. We’re at war. This is a civilizational war. It is an existential threat. It’s gone if we don’t pay attention. A wartime general also has tolerance for disruption because they know war rearranges systems. Stability is not the goal. Survival is. And the last characteristic that changes is moral framing. Things stop being so gray. Some things have to be opposed directly and decisively. Does that not define who Donald Trump is? Because I think it does. I think it does. A peacetime leader is—and see if this doesn’t sound like Barack Obama—consensus over clarity, process over speed, optics over outcomes, reluctance to name enemies, preference for stability, moral ambiguity. Okay. Now, I started looking into this a couple of days ago because I was going to write a monologue that was about “we have a wartime President and a peacetime GOP,” because that’s what’s happening in Congress. They’re a peacetime GOP. They think that everything’s going to be fine and they’re acting as if we’re in peace. Well, he’s saying we’re at war and you know it. A good portion of this country knows we’re at war for our very lives and civilization. But everybody’s acting like it’s peacetime. Okay, I’m not going there because that’s not the biggest problem. As I was thinking about it, I thought, “Okay, has this ever happened in history before?” And the first thing that came to mind was, “Yeah, Churchill.” Churchill was a wartime leader. And he was preaching about Hitler long before anybody wanted to hear it. I mean, 1938, they didn’t even want to hear it. They didn’t really want to hear that from him until 1940. Churchill was not the leader. In fact, they kicked him out. His own party rejected him. And Britain was led by Neville Chamberlain, who was a peacetime leader. He believed that war could be avoided. He trusted the negotiation agreements. And he was a reflection of the exhausted public from the last war. Does any of this sound familiar? England was exhausted and did not want to go in because they were exhausted by World War I. They didn’t want to do it again. They said, “Look what happened.” So when Churchill started to say “war,” nobody wanted to go. So Neville Chamberlain was sent over to meet with Hitler and they came up with the Munich Agreement and “peace was preserved.” “There will be peace in our time.” Okay, this is Obama and Biden dealing with Iran. Churchill, however, saw something different. He said Hitler was not a negotiator in a normal sense. This guy is not negotiating. He is using our fear of the fight and he’s flattering us. He is saying enough things right to delay our entrance into the war in Europe. He is going to use this delay. Does that not sound also like Iran? The delay was not neutral. Churchill knew it strengthened Germany. The war was not coming someday. It was already underway in spirit and intent. And I don’t care what podcasters tell you. You don’t have to believe me. Take a journey with me to our vault in our American Journey Experience Museum. In the vault, we have a copy of the German battle plans outlining the war with Poland. It was planned. It was printed. It was distributed to the highest of generals as top secret classified. And it showed every bridge, every move they were going to make when they took Poland, and it was written before Hitler and Chamberlain were meeting. He was like, “I want you to know we have no design on Poland. Poland is not a target.” Yes, it was. He had already distributed the battle plans. The problem was that the English public didn’t accept Churchill’s view until it was undeniable. And that moment was the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. Bombs have a way of clarifying a philosophy. So what happens when a President is wartime and the public is not? Because that’s where we are. So what happens when a President is wartime and the public isn’t? Well, it creates a very dangerous lag. It’s a misalignment between the leadership’s perception of the threat and the public’s willingness to accept the cost of that. I mean, Donald Trump just gave a press conference yesterday where the reporter said, “It’s $4 a gallon for gas.” And he said, “Yes, and there’s no nuclear threat.” And they said, “But it’s $4 a gallon for gas.” “Yes. And you’re not going to be vaporized.” That’s the disconnect. He’s looking at it as “this was a threat, I have to take care of that first.” This gap always happens the same way. It produces four predictable effects. First, the trust begins to fracture. The public begins to think this is exaggerated. This didn’t happen. We’re being dragged into something. Sound familiar? His own base is saying this right now. Meanwhile, the leadership is thinking, “You don’t understand the stakes.” Both sides lose confidence in the other. Very dangerous. The second thing that happens is political isolation of the leader. Even if the leader is right about the threat, the institutions resist, right? You see that happening? Allies are hesitating. Hello. Media fragments all of the narrative. This is exactly what happened to Churchill prior to 1940. He was an alarmist. He was reckless. He was out of his mind. He was dangerous. Third thing that happens: delayed mobilization. Because a peacetime public does not sacrifice easily. They do not accept shortages. They do not tolerate casualties. They don’t want to reorient their daily life. So the nation responds too slowly. And in war, time is not neutral. The fourth thing that always happens is eventually reality shocks and it forces the alignment. If you can get all the players still in the same place, there’s an attack. There’s an economic collapse. There’s visible escalation. In Britain, it took the bombing of London. It took the Blitz. In the US during World War II, it took an attack on Pearl Harbor. We have been here before. This is exactly what happened with Pearl Harbor. And nobody wanted to go to war in World War II. Nobody wanted to fight the Germans. Until that shock happens, large parts of the public resist the wartime frame. That’s why the Green-Red Alliance is not blowing buildings up yet. They don’t want that shock to happen because that brings us all together. Now, here’s the part people forget about Churchill. Churchill was a Nobel Prize-winning laureate. I mean, he was a beautiful writer. He did something that very few can do. He translated reality into the language the public could eventually accept. Remember, he was the guy who said, “We shall fight on the beaches. It’s our finest hour.” He didn’t just describe the war. He brought the public into it psychologically, morally, emotionally. And that’s the second half of wartime leadership. Do we have that? Do we have anyone telling the tale in a way that is actually waking people up and bringing them into this emotionally, intellectually, spiritually? Do we have anybody? Yeah, I think he’s kind of alone on this island expecting us to get it. And I’m not sure we are. So, does that lead us to any place good? Well, there’s a danger zone, a closing window. If this happens and we don’t fix this, we don’t realign either him or us. And if that’s one of the best serious pieces Glenn has ever put out, this is one of the funniest….kills me every time: GLENN BECK: “Hang on, our Themis has just gone off….” This is a flashback to one of my favorite bits Glenn Beck has ever done….has me laughing hysterically every time I see it! Recently, I covered a new report from Glenn Beck. You can read that here. But I can’t cover Glenn Beck and not show you one of the most hilarious things he’s ever done. This one actually had me literally laughing out loud so I had to share it with you. I actually don’t get to watch Glenn Beck all that often but I always liked him and I happened to click on this video of his today and it had me in stitches. So here’s the background…. Apparently at Dubai Design Week (whatever that is) a new “invention” was released called the “Themis”. Named after the Greek goddess of justice, the “Themis” is designed to sound an alarm when your speech includes something “offensive”. Gee, what could possibly go wrong? This is the “goddess” Themis: And this is the new “invention”: https://twitter.com/newsoneplace/status/1459856380513460230 [censored] https://twitter.com/aspals/status/1460673637632118789 [censored] The DailyMail had more info on the horrific new device: A new trigger-warning detector which sound alarms when it detects offensive speech has been unveiled at Dubai Design Week. The Themis is a lamp-sized device intended to ‘moderate’ debate in classrooms and universities and ‘manifest political correctness’ into a product. The small device could even be used to police language at dinner parties and family gatherings and its developers have said it hopes that Themis will encourage ‘self-critique’. The Themis (pictured) emits irritating sounds when it detects racial slurs and ‘offensive’ jokes +2 The Themis will emit irritating sounds when it detects offensive speech has been said around it Zinah Issa, who unveiled the device in Dubai, told The Telegraph: ‘Through the use of speech recognition and sound sensors we were able to program Themis to detect offensive terms – racial slurs, offensive jokes – through the microphone. ‘Extremely bothersome alarms last approximately two minutes, after which Themis turns off, allowing an open, understanding discussion among people on the possible trigger matter and the potential reasons behind Themis’s activation’. The device is named for Themis, the Greek goddess of justice and social order. Themis is being currently trialled in classrooms and universities with a view to a wider roll-out soon. The design were unveiled at the Global Grad Show where students from across the Middle East and North Africa were invited to share their work. So that’s actually rather disturbing, but the part that had my cracking up was Glenn Beck’s bit he did about it. In a sketch where he pretends to be talking to his co-host Stew, they start talking about the story and then find out that the Themis starts going off on Stew. When Glenn says “Hang on, our Themis has just gone off” I lost it. It’s a good thing I wasn’t drinking something or I would have sprayed it all over my computer screen.
