He will replace Marjorie Taylor Greene — who, if you'll remember, vacated the seat on January 3 after a public falling out with the president — and carry out the rest of her term.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 21:54:46 -0400<![CDATA[Sarah Anderson]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Georgia]]><![CDATA[House of Representatives]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]>https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2026/04/07/clay-fuller-wins-marjorie-taylor-greenes-congressional-set-n4951560<![CDATA[Democrats and their media allies have worked overtime to paint President Donald Trump as reckless, unstable, and dangerously unfit to lead. The latest excuse for their hysteria came after Trump put pressure on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively closed since February, cutting off roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. They’ve been daring the United States to respond ever since, and Trump did respond. And that’s when the left completely lost it.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 21:23:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]><![CDATA[Truth Social]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/07/democrats-called-trump-crazythen-he-got-the-strait-of-hormuz-open-n4951559<![CDATA[Just after the United States announced a ceasefire with the Iranian regime, that regime launched ballistic missiles at civilian targets in Israel. Another missile salvo reportedly targeted a U.S. base or diplomatic installation in Iraq, though that strike might have occurred just before the ceasefire. In any case, I think the Iranian regime achieved a new record for a shortest ceasefire ever, even outdoing its terror proxy Hamas, which is stunning.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 21:15:58 -0400<![CDATA[Catherine Salgado]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Foreign Policy]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Israel]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]>https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/04/07/iran-launched-missiles-at-israel-amid-ceasefire-announcement-n4951558<![CDATA[By now you’ve seen the reports of the latest threat President Donald Trump made against Iran.

She called it "outdated" and a "really silly idea," adding that she puts "freedom" above all else. The 51-year-old then slammed the institution, saying, "You're kind of, like, property a little bit."]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 17:15:00 -0400<![CDATA[Michael Cantrell]]><![CDATA[Abortion]]><![CDATA[Entertainment]]><![CDATA[Hollywood]]><![CDATA[Pro-Life]]>https://pjmedia.com/michaelcantrell/2026/04/07/chelsea-handler-attacks-traditional-marriage-claims-it-turns-women-into-property-n4951555<![CDATA[While local press initially reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “shot someone” in California, the real story is that officers stopped an illegal alien who was part of a foreign terrorist organization, and they had to defend themselves after he weaponized his vehicle in a potentially deadly attack.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:15:00 -0400<![CDATA[Catherine Salgado]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[FBI]]><![CDATA[ICE]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]>https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/04/07/illegal-alien-terrorist-weaponizes-vehicle-on-ice-gets-shot-n4951550<![CDATA[The unofficial start to the 2028 presidential nomination cycle begins now. It won't really be "official" until the primary debates begin in the summer of 2027, of course, but there are telltale signs that it's already kicking off. Despite not being the news-controlling powerhouses that they used to be, mainstream media outlets and their multitudes of biased hacks are still working off of old playbooks. One of their oldest tricks is to tear down the Republican who worries them most regarding any given election. It's no secret that the monster under their beds for 2028 is Vice President JD Vance.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:02:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Kruiser]]><![CDATA[2028 Elections]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[JD Vance]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]>https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/04/07/concern-trolling-and-character-assassination-dems-are-definitely-sweating-vance-2028-n4951539<![CDATA[The Cuban regime is continuing down its path of proving how desperate it has become in the wake of Donald Trump putting a stop to the flow of free and cheap oil into the country.
