Leavitt will be giving birth any day now to a little girl, so she is taking maternity leave. With Leavitt's toddler, Niko, this sweet baby will expand Leavitt and her husband's family to four.

Were she any other female press secretary, feminists would be lauding her and demanding she be recognized.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 11:54:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[JD Vance]]><![CDATA[Karoline Leavitt]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]><![CDATA[White House]]>https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/04/25/press-secy-karoline-leavitt-goes-on-maternity-leave-legacy-media-act-like-theyre-the-ones-having-a-baby-n2201666<![CDATA[Iran's delegation to the new round of negotiations in Islamabad, announced on Friday, refuses to speak directly with the American team and has reiterated its preconditions for talks, none of which indicate this round is going anywhere.]]>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 11:36:00 -0400<![CDATA[streiff]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Foreign Policy]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Pakistan]]><![CDATA[Operation Epic Fury]]>https://redstate.com/streiff/2026/04/25/tehran-snubs-us-delegation-demands-end-to-blockade-as-islamabad-talks-stall-again-n2201672<![CDATA[Seeing the tough-talking but charisma-free House Minority Leader from New York, Democrat Hakeem Jeffries, acting like the macho man when threatening the free state of Florida: annoying.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 11:12:00 -0400<![CDATA[Bob Hoge]]><![CDATA[Chuck Schumer]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Hakeem Jeffries]]><![CDATA[Liberal Media]]>https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2026/04/25/priceless-the-moment-a-little-kid-reporter-asks-hakeem-jeffries-the-one-question-he-has-no-answer-for-n2201664<![CDATA[A New York Times piece published first thing this morning lays the blame for Iran’s swollen nuclear stockpile squarely at Donald Trump’s feet.
