In the intricate dance of faith, politics, and personal conviction, Karoline Leavitt emerges as a luminous testament to the Gospel Glamour ethos - a young woman who doesn’t just enter rooms, but transforms them.Born on August 24, 1998, in New Hampshire, Leavitt grew up in a devout Roman Catholic family, where faith wasn’t just a Sunday ritual, but a lived experience.

Foundations of a Fearless Voice

Her journey is anything but conventional. A Saint Anselm College graduate who studied communications and political science, Leavitt’s path was carved early. While still in school, she interned at Fox News and in Trump’s White House press office - experiences that crystallized her understanding of media and messaging.

Breaking Barriers, Challenging Narratives

At just 27, Leavitt became the youngest White House press secretary in U.S. history. But this isn’t just a title - it’s a declaration. She quickly garnered a reputation for being unflappable and, at times, combative. In her first press briefing on January 28, 2025, she boldly challenged traditional media landscapes, announcing that podcasters, influencers, and bloggers would be invited to debriefings.

Faith as Foundation

The Gospel Glamour spirit isn’t about perfection - it’s about authenticity. Leavitt has often spoken about the importance of faith in her life, rooted deeply in her Roman Catholic upbringing. Her story isn’t just about political communication; it’s about communicating with conviction.

Multifaceted Warrior

Her resume reads like a testament to resilience:

• Intern at Fox News

• White House press office worker

• Assistant press secretary during Trump’s first term

• Communications director for Congresswoman Elise Stefanik

• Congressional candidate

• Trump campaign press secretary

Personal Life: Defying Expectations

In 2023, she married Nicholas Riccio, a real estate developer 32 years her senior, and welcomed their son Nicholas (“Niko”) in 2024. Even her personal choices challenge conventional narratives.

Gospel Glamour Promise

Karoline Leavitt embodies our core belief: Your voice is your power. Your faith is your foundation. Your authenticity is your greatest strength.

Stay curious. Stay bold. Stay unapologetically you.

A force to be reckoned with - not just in politics, but in life.

Who is Elley Duhé?

She’s not just another voice. She’s a force of nature wrapped in melody, a storyteller who turns vulnerability into strength. Born in the heart of Mobile, Alabama, Elley Duhé emerged from a landscape of musical dreams and relentless determination.

Artistic Journey

At 14, she discovered her true calling - not just singing, but creating. While others were content with covers, she was crafting her own narrative. Nashville became her proving ground, a place of constant rejection that only sharpened her resolve.

“Middle of the Night” - Visual Poem

The video isn’t just a music video. It’s a manifesto of feminine desire, vulnerability, and unapologetic self-expression.

Cinematographic Essence

• Shadowy interiors

• Fragmented reflections

• Moments of intense, quiet rebellion

Breaking the Silence

The video deconstructs traditional narratives of feminine sexuality. It’s not about performance, but about authentic experience. Each frame whispers a secret: desire is not something to be ashamed of, but to be celebrated.

Symbolic Layers

• Darkness: Represents the hidden spaces of female experience

• Movement: Fluid, unrestrained choreography symbolizing emotional freedom

• Lighting: Soft, intimate - revealing without exploiting

Artistic Statement

Her approach is radical in its authenticity. She’s not just a musician, but a holistic artist who incorporates yoga, breath work, and boxing into her creative process. Always seeking to “bring out the highest version of herself”.

Beyond the Music

This isn’t just about sound. It’s about a woman who refuses to be defined by industry expectations. Who turns her struggles into art. Who transforms the middle of the night - that vulnerable, raw moment - into a powerful statement of self.

The night is hers. The moment is hers. The story is hers.

TMZ, Rolling Stone: Luigi Mangione’s Lawyers Blast D.A.'s Unsubstantiated Statements

written by a member of the WCB

In a bold legal maneuver, the defense team for Luigi Mangione is pushing back against what they call a baseless narrative surrounding the high-profile case involving the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Controversial Claim

At the heart of the legal battle is a purported statement allegedly made by Mangione’s mother, Kathleen Mangione, which the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has been using to paint a damaging picture of the defendant. However, Mangione’s top-tier legal team - led by renowned attorneys Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Marc Agnifilo, and Jacob Kaplan - is demanding hard evidence to support these claims.

Breaking Down the Allegations

The prosecution’s narrative hinges on a statement from a San Francisco Police Department sergeant, who reportedly spoke with Kathleen Mangione in connection with a missing-person report. The D.A. claims she said something could be “something she could see him doing” - a vague and potentially misleading characterization that Mangione’s lawyers are vigorously challenging.

Legal Strategy Unveiled

Mangione’s defense is presenting two critical possibilities:

1. The statement was never actually made

2. The District Attorney’s office has failed to provide crucial evidence during the discovery process

Ongoing Challenges

Adding fuel to the legal fire, Mangione’s team points out that their client still lacks access to a laptop to review the extensive evidence in the case. This limitation raises serious questions about the fairness of the ongoing legal proceedings.

Bigger Picture

While multiple charges are pending at both state and federal levels, Mangione’s legal team remains steadfast in their commitment to uncovering the truth and challenging what they view as unsubstantiated claims.

Stay tuned as this high-stakes legal drama continues to unfold.

Tyla’s “Jump” - Anthem That Launched a Global Star

Hey there, young kings! Let’s dive into the track that’s been setting the music world on fire - Tyla’s “Jump”. This isn’t just another pop song. It’s a game-changing anthem that captures the essence of breaking through, defying expectations, and owning your moment.

Origin Story

Before her debut single “Is It” even dropped, “Jump” was already making serious waves. The song is a powerful collaboration featuring Tyla, rapper Gunna, and Jamaican artist Skillibeng, creating a unique genre fusion of Afrobeats, dancehall, and hip hop. It’s more than just a track - it’s a statement.

Behind the Scenes

Tyla co-wrote “Jump” with her frequent collaborators Believve, Mocha, Ari PenSmith, and producer Sammy Soso. The song’s creation has an interesting backstory - during a visit to Jamaica in October 2023, Tyla relistened to the track and felt it needed a Jamaican sound. She reached out to Skillibeng for a feature. Talk about vision and hustle.

Viral Moment

What makes “Jump” truly special? It’s raw, unfiltered confidence. The track went viral through two epic TikTok dance trends. One was created by dancer Zoe Baptiste, and the other centered on Tyla’s iconic opening verse: “They never had a pretty girl from Joburg / See me now, and that’s what they prefer”. It’s a mic drop moment that resonates with anyone who’s ever been underestimated.

Numbers Don’t Lie

Let’s talk impact. The song climbed to number three on the Afrobeats Songs chart and even made it to number 49 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. For a track that wasn’t even initially planned as a single, that’s nothing short of phenomenal.

Tyla’s Journey

To understand “Jump”, you’ve got to know Tyla’s story. Born on January 30, 2002, in Johannesburg, she was writing music and sharing covers online while juggling school. Her breakthrough moment came in 2019 with a self-produced music video “Getting Late”. But it was her 2023 hit “Water” that truly launched her into the global spotlight.

Why “Jump” Matters

This isn’t just a song - it’s a movement. Tyla has become more than just a musician. She’s a global brand, landing deals with major companies like GAP, Nike, and H&M. She even walked the runway at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. “Jump” represents that moment of breaking through, of saying “watch me” to the world.

Bigger Picture

Her music, which she calls “popiano” - a mix of amapiano and pop - has become a key part of her global identity. By early 2024, she earned a Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance, becoming the youngest and first South African to win in that category.

To the young kings out there - “Jump” is more than a song. It’s a blueprint for breaking barriers, for owning your moment, for showing the world exactly who you are.

Stay bold. Stay authentic.

Sweet Sounds of Principle: Unwrapping “Candy” by The New Respects

In the intricate landscape of modern music, The New Respects emerge as a testament to family, talent, and the delicate balance between artistic expression and principled living. Their latest single “Candy” represents more than just a musical offering - it’s a nuanced exploration of artistic integrity and familial bonds.

Comprising twins Zandy and Lexi Fitzgerald, her brother Darius, and cousin Jasmine Mullen, The New Respects are a Nashville-based musical collective that defies conventional genre boundaries. Since their debut in 2017 with the EP “Here Comes Trouble”, they’ve garnered significant attention, with their breakout song achieving over two million streams.

As conservatives, we understand that life - much like music - is not always sweet. “Candy” serves as a metaphorical journey, reminding us that momentary pleasures can be deceptive. The biblical wisdom rings true: pride comes before a fall. The New Respects embody this principle, approaching their musical career with a measured, intentional perspective.

Their musical philosophy centers on creating space that “invites anyone who wants to come to be there.” As band member Alexis Fitzgerald notes, their music isn’t about a specific ideology, but about “freedom and fun and family”.

The single represents more than a musical piece - it’s a nuanced exploration of life’s complexities. Just as candy offers momentary sweetness, the song suggests the fleeting nature of surface-level experiences. The band has deliberately self-produced their music, maintaining creative control and bringing an authentic energy to their work.

An interesting footnote to the band’s story is Zandy Fitzgerald’s connection to an equally remarkable family. Her husband, Tavior Mowry, brings his own rich entertainment heritage:

The Mowry Siblings

1. Tia Mowry: A renowned actress best known for “Sister, Sister” where she co-starred with her twin sister.

2. Tamera Mowry-Housley: An actress who appeared in Disney Channel movies and was a co-host on “The Real”.

3. Tahj Mowry: An actor known for roles in “Smart Guy” and “Baby Daddy”.

The New Respects offer more than music - they provide a harmonious blueprint for navigating life’s complex rhythms. Their single “Candy” reminds us that true artistry, like true character, is built on a foundation of discipline, authenticity, and principled living.
