The news out of Annandale, Virginia this morning is hard to process. A former Democratic Lieutenant Governor — a man who once sat a heartbeat from running his state — is dead. And so is his wife. Police say he shot her first. Then he turned the gun on himself. It happened just after midnight. Their children were in the house. Fox News confirmed the basics of the horror story early Thursday morning: BREAKING: Former Democratic Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax shoots and kills wife before taking his own life, Fairfax County police say pic.twitter.com/QjYqDNNnmb— Fox News (@FoxNews) April 16, 2026 The former Lt. Gov’s name is Justin Fairfax. If that rings a bell, it should. He’s the Virginia Democrat who was accused of sexual assault by two women back in 2019 — allegations he denied but that effectively ended his political career and sank his run for governor. Now his name is back in the national news for the worst possible reason. CBS News laid out the heartbreaking details of how the scene was discovered: Former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax fatally shot his wife, Cerina Fairfax, then died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound just after midnight in Annandale, Virginia.Fairfax’s son called 911 from the home. The son initially thought his mother had been stabbed.Police arrived to find bullet casings near her body and then discovered Justin Fairfax upstairs with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.Fairfax County Police Captain Chris Cosgriff said: “Preliminarily, it appears that the adult male shot the adult female before shooting himself in a domestic-related incident.” Let that sink in. A child calling 911 because he thought something horrible had happened to his mom — and it turned out to be even worse than he imagined. Local DC station WTOP was one of the first to break the story on the ground: BREAKING: Police say former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife before turning the gun on himself inside an Annandale home. This story is developing.https://t.co/TVMn0ArmHf— WTOP (@WTOP) April 16, 2026 But the most disturbing details came later in the morning when Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis held a briefing. WTOP reported on what the chief said happened inside the home: Officers responded to the 8100 block of Guinevere Drive shortly after midnight Thursday. According to police, Justin Fairfax shot his wife Cerina multiple times in the basement, then moved to another part of the home and fatally shot himself with the same firearm.Three children were in the house during the incident: two teenage boys and a younger girl.Police Chief Kevin Davis said, “This has been an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce.”According to Davis, Fairfax had been served paperwork related to an upcoming court proceeding that “apparently led to this incident.”Davis also said Fairfax had previously alleged his wife assaulted him, adding: “we review those cameras, and we corroborated that the alleged assault never occurred.”The chief said there had “certainly been a fall from grace” for the Fairfax family. Three children in the house. Two teenage boys and a little girl. Those kids will never be the same. The reaction online was swift. Commentator Benny Johnson summed up what a lot of Americans were feeling: SHOCKING: Former Democrat Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax dead after killing his wife over divorce filing in sickening murder-suicide.This is horrific. pic.twitter.com/4K02fWtIsV— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) April 16, 2026 It’s a tragedy no matter how you slice it. Whatever the politics, whatever the history — a woman is dead. A man is dead. And three kids are waking up to a world that will never make sense to them again. Pray for them.

One of the best side-effect benefits to running this website for 10+ years is getting to hear feedback from you when something I’ve shared has changed your life. I’m constantly talking about things that I love and use and I share them when I think they might be something you will love as much as I do. And with 5+ million monthly readers, the testimonies come in frequently and they’re one of my favorite things to read! One of those things are the Lifewave Patches. GET THEM HERE IF YOU WANT For the past few months, me and my buddy Winger (one of our Writers here) have been telling you about these things. Winger actually is the person who first introduced me to them. I was skeptical at first, but then I tried them because I trust Winger and let’s just say I was pretty quickly convinced. I’ll share more of my story down below, but first I want to share with you John’s story. John read one of my articles talking about the x39 patches and he did the same thing I did….he tested them out. And he specifically waited for a bit to make sure he tested them for a full month to get the full experience. His results were INCREDIBLE! I’ll let you read below in his own words but we’re talking recovery from a stroke, recovery of movement in his hand and arm, and the retirement of his cane! Read here: Hello Noah, My name is John and I’m writing to give you two quick updates on X39. I also want you to know that I’m a 63 year old male, no drinking, smoking and try to eat healthy with a couple of cheat days for a danish. I do drink a little wine every now and then. First, I’ve been trying X39 for about a month, and I do believe it help with my recovery. The stroke, Jan 18, 26, affected my left side; arm and leg were weak, but I could move my ankle and toes without any problem. My hand was clinch and the only was to open was to use my right hand. My leg was so weak that I need a cane to walk. Today, I’m not using a cane, and haven’t been since about two weeks after using the patch. I have been able to open my hand fully and able to grip and hold things, which I wasn’t able to do. My arm is still weak but making progress, and i have been using my left hand as much as possible. Second, a friend surprised me by saying that she take it for anxiety, and she says it is helping her. She’s 59 but a heavy drinker. Sorry it took so long to update you but I wanted at least a month of use before I wrote. I’m also using DMSO and CardioHealth chewables. I believe you did a story on DMSO but not CardioHealth. Any other questions, feel free to ask. John A few days later, John sent me a second email with some additional results. His double vision cleared up! Read in his own words here: Hello Noah, Something | just noticed that I believe is due to the X39 Patch. For years, I suffered from an eye injury that gave me double vision if I looked straight ahead. I would actually have turn my head slightly to be able to see one image, especially if I was looking at something at a distance. Tonight, I noticed that my head was straight on to the tv without double vision. Figured I would tell you about that, John DISCLAIMER: to keep the attorneys happy, this is where I have to give you a couple disclaimers.   First, your results can and may be different.  Everybody and every “body” are different. You may not experience the same results as John…. ….but then again you might! So I’m not promising I can heal you, but I am saying what does it hurt to try, right? Second, I am not making any claim that any of the Lifewave patches can diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Read it again here: Ok, we good on the disclaimers? Now let me share my personal experience… My Honest Review Of The Lifewave x39 Patches [From Noah] Hi everyone! Noah here, and if you’ve been around here for a while you know I have a personal rule that I don’t talk about or promote any products that I don’t personally use myself…and love using! In other words, I only bring you stuff I know is rock solid and I know you will love. And I really love when I can bring you something that I know is going to make your life better in some way. Which brings me to the Lifewave x39 patch… Until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of it, but then our very own Winger published this article about the Lifewave patches, their origin with the Navy, patented technology, and even showing how RFK Jr. has been spotted using them: NAVY’s Super Sailor Tech: Why Big Pharma Doesn’t Want It In Your Hands But It’s Too Late (RFK Jr Found Out About It) As you know from his work here at WLT Report, Winger is a super solid guy and a great writer, so if he’s talking about something I know it’s going to be good and spot on. But there was just one problem… I had not personally used these patches. And now I was super curious to try them! So I did, and I’ve been using them for about 2 weeks now and so I wanted to bring you my honest review here. I won’t bury the lede: they are totally amazing! I still have no idea how exactly they work or how they pack so much punch into such a small patch, but I can tell you from two weeks of personal experience that they most certainly do work in a big way. Sometimes you use something and you’re not quite sure if it’s just in your head or if you’re really noticing some results, but that’s not the case here.  My experience has been overwhelmingly noticeable, in a few different ways.  Allow me to explain… I got three different types of patches.  I got the flagship “daily driver” patch, which is the x39.  You wear that every day for 12 hours on, 12 hours off. Then I got the Silent Nights sleep patch, which you put on an hour before bed and leave on all night. And then I got the x49 workout patch that you can wear together with the x39 on days you’re doing a big workout. Each of them has been extremely noticeable, almost immediately. That’s the first thing that really jumped out at me…it doesn’t take a long period of time to start seeing results.  I noticed them immediately. The sleep patch was probably the most immediate and obvious results.  This might not surprise you, but I have a little trouble winding down at night and getting to sleep.  My mind is always thinking about so many things.  But I put this patch on and feel asleep a lot quicker than normal on the first night and then had one of the deepest, most relaxing nights of sleep I can remember in a long time.  Woke up the next morning feeling like a million bucks and I haven’t missed a night ever since! The daily x39 patch also kicked in almost immediately.  It’s not a jittery, caffeine type buzz, but I did notice similar effects: more energy all day long, increased focus.  Less pain in joints.  And then I started realizing that I had more stamina when I would go out on a run, which I try to do about 5 days a week.  I was hitting that runner’s groove earlier and staying in it longer. So then I got some family members testing them out too to see what they thought.  I had one guy who is in his 70s and has a lot of foot and joint pain that is really affecting his mobility and he’s currently on Day 4 and he just told me the joint pain is noticeably reduced!  He can’t believe it. That’s the big takeaway I would tell anyone after testing this out for myself… Don’t listen to me. I’m not here to convince you of anything. Just test it out yourself! Like the Bible says, “Taste and see!”  See what you think.  What’s the worst thing that can happen, you are one of the rare people who don’t get results?  Ok, fine.  No harm, no foul. But if you’re like all the testimonials I have read and my own personal testimonial, this might drastically improve your quality of life! It’s kind of like Pascal’s Wager…if you map out all the possible outcomes, the upside is incredible and the downside is limited: Of course, here would be a good time to give my standard FDA disclosure to keep the lawyers happy: Now to the last patch, the x49 sports patch. Here’s where it got really interesting…. One of the most frequent criticisms of the patches is that they’re just a placebo effect and there’s no way a small patch like that could really be doing anything. Ok, but here’s what I experienced… The company says it’s fine to stack the x39 and x49 together, especially if you’re doing a big workout.  And so I did.  And what I noticed was similar to if you’ve ever taken a pre-workout energy drink. Ever taken one of those?  Especially the old ones that used to stack ephedra and caffeine, anyone remember those? They were amazing, but you really had to make sure you were going to go do a hard workout to really work the stuff through your system and burn it off.  Right?  Anyone know what I’m talking about? I think one was called Ripped Energy drink and if you drank a Ripped Energy and just hung out around the house, you’d be buzzing!  And it would almost be too much. That’s EXACTLY what I noticed when I wore both the x39 and the x49 at the same time. I had to go out and go for a big run because my body was just charged up!  I don’t know how else to explain it.  Not it a bad way, or a caffeine jittery way, but it was just like I was turned out and had to open up the valve of that firehose.  Had to get the energy out. So that’s how I know these things are definitely working and definitely doing something. And that’s my honest review! I hope this was helpful. GET THEM HERE IF YOU WANT My bottom-line takeaway for everyone is simply this: don’t take my word for it.  Test it out yourself!  And if you do, please send me an email with your experience and results, I’d love to hear them! Oh, and one more bonus thing before I wrap this up… The other thing that stood out to me even before I started testing them myself was how many of YOU emailed me after Winger first published that article and said stuff like “Where ya been Noah?  I’ve been using these for years and they’re incredible.” Countless emails and comments like that came pouring in, and I had no idea how big this was until you all started telling me. If you want more info on how to get them and test them for yourself, it’s all right here below…

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.
