A search is currently underway for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC host Savannah Guthrie, who went missing from Tucson’s Catalina Foothills on Saturday. After her family reported her missing on Sunday morning, police discovered "concerning" signs of a violent struggle at her home.

The 2026 Grammy Awards were supposed to celebrate music. Instead, they became another stage for Hollywood’s favorite performance: moral superiority without consequences. This year, celebrities like Billie Eilish, Teddy Swims, and Justin Bieber donned “ICE Out” pins and used their acceptance speeches to condemn Immigration and Customs Enforcement and lecture Americans about justice, compassion, and humanity. From their gilded seats inside Crypto.com Arena, they urged unity and resistance all while remaining safely insulated from the real world consequences of the policies they champion. That is the part no one on that stage ever acknowledges. The celebrities grandstanding about immigration do not live in border communities. They do not compete for jobs with illegal labor. They do not deal with overwhelmed schools, strained hospitals, or rising crime. They do not have to explain to grieving families why their loved ones died because basic immigration enforcement was treated as immoral. Where was the outrage from Hollywood when Laken Riley was murdered by an illegal immigrant? Where were the pins, speeches, and standing ovations then? Silence. Because acknowledging victims like her would complicate the narrative, Hollywood prefers slogans over substance. When Billie Eilish declared that no one is illegal on stolen land, critics pointed out the obvious contradiction. She lives in a multimillion dollar estate guarded by private security. If land ownership is illegitimate, why is she not handing over the keys. Virtue is easy when it costs nothing. Hollywood’s moral theater is not about helping people. It is about signaling status. Proving you belong to the correct side of elite opinion while never having to live with the fallout. That is why the reaction to Nicki Minaj was so revealing. Minaj did not wear a pin. She did not chant slogans. She did not follow the script. Instead, she attended the world premiere of Melania at the Kennedy Center, has worked alongside President Trump on Trump Accounts, and openly calls herself his number one fan. She chose independence over approval, and Hollywood is punishing her for it. During the Grammys, host Trevor Noah turned Minaj into a punchline, joking that she was at the White House with Donald Trump. The audience laughed not because it was clever but because it signaled who was acceptable to mock. Francis Specker/CBS via Getty Images The hostility did not stop there. At a MusiCares gala, Billy Porter publicly dropped an F bomb when asked about Minaj’s political views, declaring shame on her and others like her. In Hollywood, tolerance ends where independent thought begins. The message was clear. You are free to speak as long as you agree. Nicki Minaj did not see the light because Hollywood showed her anything new. She saw the truth Americans have known for years. The entertainment industry demands conformity not compassion. Obedience not courage. Real Americans are tired of being lectured by people who will never pay the price for the policies they promote. They are tired of selective outrage, empty slogans, and celebrities who cry injustice while living lives untouched by its consequences. The Grammys did not expose ICE. They exposed Hollywood. And the more celebrities shout, the clearer it becomes. Americans are not rejecting compassion. They are rejecting hypocrisy. * * * Janiyah Thomas is a GOP strategist and former Black Media Director for President Trump’s 2024 campaign.

Actor John Lithgow is confused about how “Harry Potter” author JK Rowling could believe in biological reality. The 80-year-old celebrity said as much while speaking at Rotterdam Film Festival over the weekend while discussing some of the backlash he’s gotten for playing the role of Dumbledore in the TV reboot of Rowling’s best-selling series. “I take the subject extremely seriously,” Lithgow said of the trans debate. “[Rowling] has created this amazing canon for young people and it has jumped into the consciousness of the society. It’s about good versus evil, kindness versus cruelty. I find her views ironic and inexplicable. I’ve never met her, she’s not really involved in this production at all. But the people who are, are remarkable.” “It upsets me when people are opposed to me having anything to do with this,” he said of the haters who totally wrote off Rowling and all her work. “But in ‘Potter’ canon you see no trace of transphobic sensitivity. She’s written this mediation of kindness and acceptance. And Dumbledore is a beautiful role.” Lithgow described accepting the role as a “hard decision.” “It made me uncomfortable and unhappy that people insisted I walk away from the job. I chose not to do that,” the actor went on. “I’m the oldest person in this entire room, just turned 80. And yet I signed a contract – I will be playing Dumbledore for the next eight years! I absolutely have to keep at it. I felt: ‘Wow! That means I will live to be 88.’ I have that in writing.” The topic was front and center as Lithgow was at the film festival promoting his latest project, “Jimpa,” which follows the main character Hannah (Olivia Colman) and her “nonbinary teenager” Frances as they reconnect with Hannah’s gay father, Jim (Lithgow). The role of Frances is played by director Sophie Hyde’s real-life daughter, Aud Mason-Hyde, who also identifies as “trans and non-binary,” per Variety. Rowling has been one of the few celebrities brave enough to take a stand against the radical trans agenda, even in the face of massive backlash, boycotts, and vitriol from her peers. Leftist fans have been furious with the British author since she started speaking out on the topic of biological sex being real in 2020. Most members of the original “Harry Potter” movie cast have denounced her and sided with the trans activists. Most recently, Rowling and actress Emma Watson got into a public feud, which culminated in Rowling saying Watson “has so little experience of real life she’s ignorant of how ignorant she is.”

Ana Navarro suggested on Monday that President Donald Trump and his administration had effectively cooked the books in their efforts to arrest former CNN host Don Lemon in connection with a protest that disrupted a Minneapolis church service a week earlier. Navarro and her cohosts on ABC’s midday talk show “The View” discussed Lemon’s arrest, and their conversation covered the entire spectrum, from Navarro and Sunny Hostin insisting that the case had no merit and would be dismissed to Whoopi Goldberg wringing her hands and warning that the Trump administration could arrest anyone the president didn’t like. Navarro began by claiming that an appellate court’s refusal to compel a lower court judge to sign off on Lemon’s arrest warrant amounted to judges laughing the DOJ out of their courtrooms. She did not mention the fact that one of the judges concerned said that he agreed there was probable cause to arrest Lemon. “So, they basically did it themselves,” she asserted. “Make no mistake about it. This was about gaslighting, this was about going against Don lemon and other journalists. By the way, all of whom happen to be black. Happy Black History Month. And I think it’s to send a chilling message to anybody who is covering facts.” WATCH: Despite the grand jury indictment, Sunny Hostin (who’s friends with Lemon) proclaims “this case will be thrown out.” While not going over any of the facts of the case, Hosting declares: “[H]e was getting the story and nothing should have gotten in the way of that. He had a… pic.twitter.com/B3uvC56BQR — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 2, 2026 Hostin, also ignoring that fact that Lemon was indicted by a federal grand jury, claimed that the former CNN host was only acting as a journalist covering the protest as it unfolded — despite video appearing to show that he was privy to the plans prior to the group storming into the church while parishioners attempted to hold a worship service. Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin also defended Lemon, claiming that he had acted only as a journalist. WATCH: Whoopi seems to suggests what happened with Lemon will happen to everyone on the left: “Listen, what I said to you before, you see what’s happening, you know what’s happening. If it’s happening like this for someone who is out and clearly doing his job, what do you think will… pic.twitter.com/39028c42wV — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 2, 2026 Goldberg hit the panic button, however, and fretted about how easy it might be for the Justice Department to arrest anyone if Lemon was fair game. “Listen, what I said to you before, you see what’s happening, you know what’s happening. If it’s happening like this for someone who is out and clearly doing his job, what do you think will happen to us?” Since the protest just over a week earlier, several disturbing reports have come out detailing the behavior of the protesters — who reportedly harassed and terrified members of the congregation — while inside the church.

New details have emerged in the case of a young female detransitioner who last week won a $2 million judgment against the doctors who performed a double mastectomy on her when she was just 16 years old. Notably, the plaintiff, Fox Varian, had her healthy breasts removed about one year after she first started questioning her gender. The teen’s mother was also pressured into signing off on the surgery, as one medical professional effectively said Varian would kill herself without the surgery. Varian was given the name Isabella at birth, but changed it numerous times during the fallout from her parents’ split, which included the estrangement of her father, independent journalist Benjamin Ryan said on X. Ryan was in the courtroom for the entire trial, and reported for the Free Press. The young girl suffered from depression, anxiety, and social phobia and was diagnosed with autism and bounced around various schools, Ryan said. She also suffered from eating disorders and body-image issues. However, at just 15 years old, she started to question her gender “during sessions with her psychologist,” who has been identified as psychologist Kenneth Einhorn. Just 11 months after Varian started to socially “transition,” the 16-year-old was on an operating table, where Dr. Simon Chin removed her healthy breasts. In another shocking, yet unsurprising detail, Varian’s mother, Claire Deacon, was pressured by medical professionals, namely Einhorn, into signing off on her daughter’s surgical transition. Einhorn insisted Varian was going to kill herself without the surgery. Deacon was effectively presented with the option of having a dead daughter or a “son” who has undergone trans procedures. The jury found that medical professionals failed to consider other possible explanations for Varian’s mental health issues — like depression, ADHD, autism, or body dysmorphia — and rushed to approve an irreversible surgery. Varian, who recently turned 22, was awarded roughly $1.6 million for past and future suffering, and an additional $400,000 for future medical costs. Claire Deacon, mother to Fox Varian, the detransitioner who won a $2M jury award after suing her care providers over the mastectomy she got at 16, testified that Varian’s psychologist, Kenneth Einhorn, browbeat her into consenting with threats of her child’s suicide. I report… pic.twitter.com/3vCfk54FNT — Benjamin Ryan (@benryanwriter) February 2, 2026 There are more than two dozen cases still pending similar to Varian’s, with detransitioners suing medical professionals for irreversible harm. Varian’s verdict could be the beginning of the end of the mutilation of children in the name of transgenderism. “The case could be a model for other lawsuits over such surgeries performed on minors,” legal expert Jonathan Turley said. “There are more than two dozen such lawsuits currently pending in various courts.” The case could be a model for other lawsuits over such surgeries performed on minors.
