The Supreme Court threw out Richard Glossip's murder conviction and death sentence Tuesday, Fox News reported. The Oklahoma man was found guilty of hiring another man to kill his former boss in 1997.
Glossip was twice sentenced to death by a jury of his peers, but the Supreme Court granted him a new trial after it agreed there was prosecutorial misconduct in his trial. Now 62, Glossip has been on death row for decades for a murder for hire he possibly never committed.
A man named Justin Sneed, who later admitted to beating Best Budget Inn owner Barry Van Treese to death with a baseball bat, claimed he did so after Glossip offered him $10,000. Glossip feared he would be fired if Van Treese learned he'd been stealing from the business.
GOP Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond ordered a case review in 2023. Investigators found that potentially exculpatory evidence was withheld during the trial, namely that Sneed was being treated for bipolar disorder and was on drugs.
Only Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented in the decision, but Justice Amy Coney Barrett believed the state's appeals courts should decide the matter. In the majority opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said that "the prosecution violated its constitutional obligation to correct false testimony."
The Supreme Court found that "evidence of Sneed’s bipolar disorder, which could trigger impulsive violence when combined with his drug use, would have contradicted the prosecution’s portrayal of Sneed as harmless without Glossip’s influence." There was also a box of evidence that was destroyed.
According to Drummond's review, the evidence included masking tape, a shower curtain, and motel receipts that the convicted killer's attorney, Don Knight, failed to use. Meanwhile, Glossip has always claimed to be innocent despite two convictions.
In 1998, Glossip was convicted for the first time but granted a new trial upon appeal. His second 2004 trial also yielded a conviction, and Glossip has now spent nearly half his life behind bars.
The family of Van Treese still believes that Glossip should be put to death. Even with the convicted and sentence tossed, the state maintains that Glossip is likely not entirely innocent.
While the Supreme Court has granted a new trial, it doesn't mean Glossip is off the hook. The state believes he may be guilty of aiding and abetting a crime after the fact.
The crime does not carry a death, but still points to a possible role in the crime. Meanwhile, Drummond championed the Supreme Court's decision which will allow a new trial for Glossip free of the previous errors.
"The right to a fair trial is a fundamental protection of our liberty. I am grateful the Supreme Court agreed with what I have said since reading the independent counsel’s report: Richard Glossip did not receive a fair trial. We can all be thankful that a man who was unfairly convicted and sentenced to death no longer faces execution," Drummond posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday.

The justice system doesn't always get everything right, but there are mechanisms for rectifying the situation when there are mistakes. It's still unclear whether Glossip is entirely innocent, but at least he will have a new trial that is fair and unbiased.
The internet has plans for Barron Trump, son of President Donald Trump, as he becomes New York University's most eligible bachelor, The List reported. Some are suggesting he pair up with Princess Leonor of Spain.
When asked about how his son was doing at NYU, President Trump said that he was popular with the ladies but that he never had a relationship. Now, some are trying to play matchmaker for the 18-year-old.
"Barron Trump and the Princess of Spain Leonor are a match made in heaven. Same age, no previous relationships, good values, good looking and with a powerful family. Prove me wrong," conservative influencer Ada Llunch posted to X, formerly Twitter, with a side by side photos of Barron and the princess.

Barron and Princess Leonor of Spain are both royals of a sort and are equals in status, good looks, and other aspects. "Same age, no previous relationships, good values, good looking and with a powerful family," one user to X wrote.
Another user noted that they would be the next power couple. "If we can't make the Trumps King of America, might as well make Barron the King of Spain," the user said.
In reality, this would not work as Barron would not be conferred a title since he would outrank the princess. Also, there's the matter of royal duties to consider if Princess Leonor of Spain were to become queen.
"The Queen consort, or the consort of the Queen, may not assume any constitutional functions, except in accordance with the provisions for the Regency," the Spanish government explains on its website. Of course, this is a moot point as the princess is rumored to already be paired up with Gabriel Giacomelli.
The tabloid rumor is that Princess Leonor of Spain met Giacomelli, the son of a wealthy New York family, at boarding school. However, other news outlets say that they are just friends which means it's still a possibility for the princess and Barron if internet matchmakers get their way.
Although the celebrity gossip mill is busy finding a wife for Barron, the reality is that his life as the son of a president complicates matters. Even while attending classes at NYU, the younger Trump is followed by Secret Service for his own protection, which certainly puts a damper on romantic pursuit.
Still, a devoted son like Barron Trump will likley turn to his mother, first lady Melania Trump, for her guidance and perspective. She's well known as a doting mother and has herself navigated fame, fortune, and in later life, the world of politics.
"She is and has been a good sounding board for him. She tries to normalize his life. If that is even possible," someone close to the family shared with People.
When Barron decides to settle down and get married, it will no doubt have to be with someone his mother approves of first. The Trump family is very close, and the first lady has always been a hands-on mother even as Barron grows into adulthood.
Barron is a young, handsome man with a bright future. Perhaps he will settle down young and start a family sooner rather than later, but for now he remains a sought-after suitor.
Two toddlers, cousins from neighboring homes, were killed on Saturday in rural Cambodia when a decades-old grenade blew up near their homes.
Muo Lisa and her cousin, Thum Yen died after discovering the grenade when they were playing together while their parents did farm work, and it exploded.
The grenade was left over from fighting between Cambodian government soldiers and Kmer Rouge communists in the 1980s and 90s, one of an estimated four to six million unexploded ordinances left in the area after the fighting ended.
Old unexploded munitions become more volatile as they age, making them particularly dangerous.
“Their parents went to settle on land that was a former battlefield, and they were not aware that there were any land mines or unexploded ordnance buried near their homes,” Director General of Cambodian Mine Action Center Heng Ratana said.
The center determined it was a rocket-propelled grenade after analyzing the fragments. “It’s a pity because they were too young and they should not have died like this.”
About 20,000 people in Cambodia have died and 45,000 have been injured since the fighting ended in 1998. As time goes on, those numbers have decreased; only 49 people died last year from unexploded munitions.
“The war is completely over and there is fully peace for more than 25 years, but the blood of the Khmer (Cambodian) people continues to flow because of the remnants of land mines and ammunition,” Ratana said on his Facebook page.
Cambodia has some of the most experienced deminers in the world, and they have helped other countries remove unexploded munitions.
It may be that the Guardian and other news outlets decided to write this story because U.S. aid for Cambodian demining was suspended as part of President Donald Trump's 90-day freeze on foreign aid.
Of course, the incident prompted the government to issue a waiver for the program so it can continue, Ratana told the Guardian.
It's sad that the left uses tragedies like this in an attempt to make Trump look bad.
Part of the point of freezing aid was to determine which efforts are worthwhile and which ones are wasteful.
The worthwhile efforts will no doubt be reinstated while the dead weight can be dropped.
For over a week, the political and tech worlds have been abuzz amid the allegation that DOGE leader Elon Musk fathered a 13th child last year with a conservative influencer.
Now, as the situation has escalated into a legal battle for custody and establishment of Musk's paternity, details of the Telsa and X billionaire's concerns about threats on his life have emerged via text messages he seemingly believed would not see the light of day, as the Daily Mail explains.
It was on Valentine's Day that Ashley St. Clair, a self-styled MAGA-affiliated influencer, took to social media to announce that Musk had fathered her son, who she says was born in September 2024.
“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” St. Clair wrote.
She continued, “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child's privavy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause. I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child's privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.”
St. Clair's dealings with Musk appeared to deteriorate further after her public declaration, as she later wrote in a now-deleted X post that she and her representatives had been “trying to communicate for the past several days” in order to complete a parenting agreement, only to be met with silence from the world-renowned entrepreneur.
That message came in response to an X post from Musk reacting to an account that shared a purported screenshot in which St. Clair joked about hoping to lure him into a relationship, with the DOGE chief writing, simply, “Whoa.”
The saga took yet another intriguing turn on Friday, when St. Clair filed a court petition to have Musk legally recognized as the baby's father and to obtain full custody of the child, as Fox News noted.
St. Clair's attorneys appended a series of exhibits to the petition, including a photo of Musk holding the baby as well as a series of screenshotted messages their client exchanged with the alleged father of her child.
Among the dialogues posted was one in which Musk described the security concerns with which he deals on a daily basis, something he said prompted the need for St. Clair's absolute discretion when it came to the baby.
“I get credible death threats every day. I'm #2 after Trump for assassination. Wake up. This is not the time for sentiment at the expense of safety. If I make a mistake on security, [the baby] will never know his father,” Musk wrote.
St. Clair responded that those worries were the reason the child's birth certificate did not list the father's name and why the baby's last name was not recorded as Musk, comments that prompted Musk to reply, “Necessary for now. Only the paranoid survive.”
St. Clair told the court in her petition that Musk has not seen his new son since a 30-minute visit in November, has never sought additional contact, and has never requested photos or updates on his progress, facts she says justify her quest for sole custody.
With accusations now swirling from fellow conservative influencer Isabella Moody and journalist Laura Loomer that St. Clair had embarked on a clandestine, years'-long campaign to seduce Musk, the battle between the young child's parents seems poised to yield all sorts of unsavory details that reflect poorly on just about everyone involved.
Pope Francis continues to be hospitalized due to severe lung infections and pneumonia as some wonder whether he may consider resigning, Breitbart reported. He would be the second consecutive pope to do so after his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, stepped down for health reasons.
The Vatican reported a "slight improvement" to his health as of Thursday after being admitted to Gemelli Hospital in Rome on Feb. 14. Still, it's a long road ahead for the 88-year-old pontiff who has endured a series of illnesses in recent years.
Francis currently suffers from complex respiratory infections, including viral, bacterial, and other pathogens that led to pneumonia in both lungs. He also has asthmatic bronchitis, which is a chronic condition that already makes breathing difficult.
Doctors have ordered "absolute rest" for Francis to recover. However, several cardinals are already suggesting that he take the route of his predecessor after Benedict XVI "opened the door" to resignation as an option.
Benedict announced in 2013 that he would step down from his position as the head of the Catholic Church. It was the first time in 600 years that it happened, and he cited ailing health and the inability to travel.
Now, it seems many believe Francis could take the same route, given his condition. "Everything is possible," Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline, Archbishop of Marseille, France, said.
Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi similarly believes that Francis may step down if his condition doesn't improve. "There is no question that if he was in a situation where his ability to have direct contact (with people) as he likes to do … was compromised, then I think he might decide to resign," Ravasi said.
It's likely that the road back to health will be a long one if Francis even makes it out of the hospital. He had a portion of one lung removed and is in poor physical condition, though his heart is still strong.
Still, Francis has said in the past that the pontificate is a vocation for a lifetime. During his most recent hospital stay, Francis still conducted the business of the church, including appointing new cardinals.
There's no shame in stepping down from the office of the pope if Francis is no longer able to assume his duties. However, it would be admirable to see him continue on with his pontificate amid intense suffering.
Catholics believe that enduring suffering, or embracing one's cross, is noble and can be offered up for the salvation of souls. Many, including Cardinal Comastri, believe that Benedict's predecessor, Pope John Paul II, is an example of such heroic suffering.
"The image we saw on television is unforgettable," Castri told the National Catholic Reporter in 2020. "The pope, who had lost all his physical strength, holding the Crucifix in his hands, gazing at it with pure love. One could sense he was saying: 'Jesus, I too am on the Cross like you. But together with you, I await the Resurrection.'" the cardinal recalled.
"John Paul II was a true master of pain redeemed by love and transformed into an antidote to selfishness: a redemption of human selfishness. This is possible only by opening one’s heart to Jesus: only with Him can one understand and give value to pain," Castri said.
Catholics throughout the world are praying for Pope Francis' recovery. The pontiff may sometimes be controversial, but like any father, he's still worthy of love and prayers from his children.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi removed Pamela Hicks Thursday as general counsel for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Daily Wire reported. Hicks is just one of several holdovers from the Biden administration who have been fired in recent weeks.
President Donald Trump ordered that United States Attorneys who President Joe Biden had appointed must be terminated. This is standard procedure when a new president takes office.
"ATF’s Chief Counsel Pamela Hicks has been fired and escorted out of the Washington, D.C. headquarters. Hicks oversaw the enforcement of every Biden infringement of the Second Amendment since taking the position in 2021 " Gun Owners of America said in a post to X, formerly Twitter.

Although it is standard procedure for the incoming administration to clean house, Trump had a particular mission informed by what he's been through. "Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before," Trump wrote to his Truth Social.
"Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining ‘Biden Era’ U.S. Attorneys. We must ‘clean house’ IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence. America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System — THAT BEGINS TODAY!" Trump added.
Bondi agrees with Trump's assessment of the problems with the justice system and has taken up the task. While speaking on the podcast "Verdict" with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Bondi said that she was "concerned" about the extent of the rot but that they were "working on" replacing holdovers, according to Fox News.
"We're working on it. It's day by day by day, but we've got a team of great people. And on day one, I issued 14 executive orders. And number one is the weaponization ends. And it ends now. And that's what we did."
She also said that the Department of Justice has "lost its mission of fighting violent crime" while actively working against Trump. "Look what they did to President Trump. Look at the weaponization," Bondi said.
Meanwhile, although Hicks served as deputy chief counsel of the agency during Trump's first administration, she loyally carried out the Second Amendment crackdowns during her tenure with the Biden ATF. In her post to Linked In, Hicks had only positive things to say about her tenure.
"Earlier today, I was served official notice from the Attorney General of the United States that I was being removed from my position as the Chief Counsel of ATF and my employment with the Department of Justice terminated. I have had the privilege of serving in the federal civil service for almost 28 years, including 23 as an attorney for the Department of Justice," she wrote.
"Serving as ATF Chief Counsel has been the highest honor of my career and working with the people at ATF and throughout the Department has been a pleasure. I thank my colleagues for their friendship and partnership over the years," Hicks said in her post.
While Bondi chips away at the top leadership, The Hill reported that Trump has been greenlighted for mass firings in the federal government. Several government employee unions sued the president, but the court ruled this week that he could proceed with the firings.
Trump learned his lesson the hard way regarding trusting holdovers from the previous administration. Now, he's doing his best to clear out all of the dead wood and those actively trying to harm him and his agenda, and it's about time.
President Donald Trump has swapped out the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office while it's being refurbished, The Independent reported. The iconic presidential piece was used by former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama but now requires a refresh.
There are at least six options for presidents to choose from when it comes to the desk. Trump explained on Truth Social Wednesday that he decided on the historic C&O desk for now.
"President, after election, gets a choice of 1 in 7 desks. This desk, the 'C&O,' which is also very well-known and was used by President George H.W. Bush and others, has been temporarily installed in the White House while the Resolute Desk is being lightly refinished—a very important job. This is a beautiful, but temporary replacement!" Trump posted Wednesday.
The C&O desk Trump will temporarily use was so named for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. It was custom-made for the owners of the company and was in the Oval Office Study in 1975.
In 1987, the desk became part of the permanent presidential collection after the GSX corporation officially gifted it to the White House. Although this is a stately piece of furniture, it doesn't carry the gravitas of the desk it's replacing.
The Resolute Desk has been part of the storied Oval Office decor collection since 1880, when Queen Victoria presented it as a gift to President Rutherford Hayes. It was made from the wood salvaged from the British ship, the HMS Resolute.
President John F. Kennedy was the first to place it in the Oval Office in 1961. It was removed in 1963 by President Lyndon B. Johson after Kennedy's assassination, and the desk was displayed in the Smithsonian between 1966 and 1977.
President Jimmy Carter returned the desk to use in the White House in 1977, and every president has utilized it since then except for George H.W. Bush, who chose the C&O. Until Trump, the elder Bush was the only president to use the C&O Desk in the Oval Office.
Although this seems like a routine change for a president to make, some news outlets had fun speculating about the abrupt move. As the entertainment site E! noted, it could have something to do with Trump's notorious germaphobia.
During a taped news conference for Trump's Department of Government Efficiency on Feb. 12, the young son of Tesla CEO Elon Musk appeared to pick his nose and wipe it on the desk. Musk shares four-year-old X Æ A-12, known simply as X, and two other children with pop star Grimes.
Trump gushed about Musk's young son but didn't comment on the child's decision to use the desk as a tissue. "This is X, and he's a great guy—high IQ," the president told the media.
Although it's an interesting theory about the nasal secretions warranting the refresh, Trump did not indicate that there was any reason beyond simply restoring it to its former glory. The president made similar refurbishments to the White House in his first term.
Of all the recent presidents, Trump seems to have the most reverence for the treasures of the White House. The Resolute Desk will be brought to its former glory after surviving the Obama and Biden administrations, just as Trump is doing for the entire nation.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer share the names of the GOP lawmakers who will sit on President Donald Trump's task force in charge of declassified documents, Just The News reported. The committee will expose information from Jeffrey Epstein's files and the John F. Kennedy assassination.
Comer announced the Republican members on Tuesday, including his choice for chairwoman, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida. The others are Reps. Eli Craine of Arizona, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Eric Burlison of Missouri, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, and Brandon Gill of Texas.
These lawmakers will make up the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, which will be in charge of handling the dissemination of information from the government's trove of secrets. So far, no Democrats have joined.
"Ensuring government transparency for the American people is a core mission of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The Republicans on Rep. Luna’s task force are steadfast champions of transparency, and I am confident they will vigorously pursue and deliver the truth on critical issues," Comer said in a statement.
Luna also released a statement to X, formerly Twitter, about her plans for the task force and its important mission. "First hearing will cover JFK," she wrote.
"I am looking to bring in a few people. To include an individual on the assassination record review board as well as someone on the House Select Committee on Assassinations. There will be a few more," Luna went on.
"Deep state mouthpieces are trying to take what I said and skew it. Cope harder," she added, calling out her detractors.
First hearing will cover JFK. I am looking to bring in a few people. To include an individual on the assassination record review board as well as someone on the House Select committee on Assassinations. There will be a few more. Deep state mouth pieces are trying to take what I…

According to Fox News, Luna and Comer were busy sending letters to various agencies looking for documents. Some of those included the CIA over the origins of COVID-19, the Defense Department and CIA for 9/11 files, the National Security Agency and CIA over the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, and the Justice Department for Jeffrey Epstein's files.
President Donald Trump created this task force through an executive order to fulfill one of his many campaign promises. The president demanded a review to complete the release of the JFK files as well as those related to other political assassinations.
Comer believes this is important in restoring trust in the government. "For too long, the federal government has kept information of public interest classified, and the American people are demanding greater transparency," he told Fox News.
"This secrecy has sowed distrust in our institutions," Comer added. He said the task force would "build on the Trump administration’s efforts to declassify records of national importance and ensure Americans get the answers they deserve."
The Kentucky lawmaker praised Luna for her role in this assignment. "Rep. Luna is committed to shining a light on the truth and ending the era of secrecy. It’s time to let the sunlight in and finally provide answers the American public has long demanded," Comer said.
The American people have lost faith in their government after decades of lies and coverups. Trump is restoring that and showing that he's a man of his word by keeping those campaign promises.
Elon Musk said that his Department of Government Efficiency audit found millions of people in the Social Security system who would be over 100 years old, Fox News reported. As of the 2020 census, only about 80,000 centenarians exist in America.
The Telsa billionaire shared a table showing the distribution of Social Security payments for each age bracket. "According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!" Musk explained in a post to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.
"Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security," he joked. The table showed 20 million people listed with ages above 100, including more than 1.3 million people aged 150-159.
According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!

Besides the troubling data, Musk has also uncovered that the program is more of an unruly beast than a well-oiled machine. "The logic flow diagram for the Social Security system looks INSANE," Musk said in another post to X.
"No one person actually knows how it works. The payment files that move between Social Security and Treasury have significant inconsistencies that are not reconciled. It’s wild," he added.
Musk further charged that "there are FAR more ‘eligible’ social security numbers than there are citizens in the USA. This might be the biggest fraud in history."
Unfortunately, Democrats are losing their minds over the DOGE review of Social Security rather than what the audit uncovered. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) warned an "unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government" after Musk's task force found massive waste and abuse at the U.S. Agency for International Development.
"Republicans in Congress must join us to take action to restore the rule of law and stop any potential lawbreaking by DOGE. DOGE is spreading across the federal government like a virus, and it’s American people who will pay the price when their benefits and payments are illegally taken away," Schumer breathlessly warned in a statement from his office.
The hysteria continued as Michelle King recently resigned as acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration over the weekend in response to the DOGE investigation, the Washington Post reported. According to three sources close to the matter, King was worried about the task force accessing government data.
Despite the optics, this move is positive for Musk's effort overall. President Donald Trump has appointed Leland Dudek, who is already experienced in the fraud office of Social Security and is supportive of DOGE's mission. Trump's nominee for the permanent position, Frank Bisignano, awaits Senate confirmation.
However, panic has already set in after Trump chose Dudek over other senior leaders in the agency. "At this rate, they will break it," Martin O’Malley, former President Joe Biden's Social Security commissioner, said.
"And they will break it fast, and there will be an interruption of benefits," O'Malley ominously warned. "To pick an acting commissioner that is not in the senior executive service sends a message that professional people should leave that beleaguered public agency," he later added.
It's telling that people from these agencies are panicked over any sort of scrutiny of their dealings. The American people are ready for real change to cut the fat, fraud, and waste from these agencies, and that's exactly what Musk has been empowered to do.
A new docuseries about the murder of social media influencer Gabby Petito by her boyfriend Brian Laundrie in 2021 revealed that Petito texted an ex-boyfriend, Jackson, that she wanted to leave Laundrie but was afraid of what he would do.
The docuseries, which was recently released to Netflix, "American Murder: Gabby Petito," contains previously unseen text messages from Petito, Laundrie and her mother Roberta.
It also has new interviews with family members and friends, including Jackson.
"She wasn’t sure of what he would do, or what he could do," he told docuseries directors/producers Julia Willoughby Nason and Michael Gasparro.
Besides the text messages to Jackson, Petito also texted her mother just before the murder to say she thought she might do better vlogging on her own without Laundrie.
Petito's parents cooperated with the docuseries as well as creating a foundation to help other domestic violence victims.
"Looking at her text messages with Brian for the first time, knowing that he had murdered her was haunting because it was like the manipulation… was very subtle.," Nason said. "And I think that we're hoping that this series can show the subtlety of intimate partner abuse, especially among young people."
On the day authorities believe Gabby was murdered, Laundrie argued with the staff at a Tex-Mex restaurant where he and Petito ate after she said she felt sick and believed the food was responsible.
Hours later, Petito was seen alive for the last time on surveillance camera outside a Whole Foods in Wyoming.
She reportedly tried to call Jackson, but he was working and missed the call.
In a last text message to her mother, she said Laundrie had agreed to sleep outside that night while she slept in the van they were camping in.
Laundrie was never arrested for Petito's murder because police did not find the body until after he had killed himself.
The Gabby Petito Foundation is already getting feedback that people have gotten out of abusive relationships after hearing her story.
"This is how the foundation is helping," Gasparro said. "They've become a resource for people like this."
