Lionel Richie is hospitalized in the intensive care unit in St. Louis after performing in the city over the weekend … TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Lionel checked himself into a local hospital after his Saturday night performance at The Muny in Forest Park to have some tests run.
We’re told Lionel is being cautious and doctors are looking into possible slight dehydration. Our sources say he’s hoping to be discharged Tuesday.
Witnesses at the concert tell us Lionel appeared to be struggling a bit toward the end of the show, asking his team to bring him a chair while performing his final song, “All Night Long,” so he could sit down.
Recall, earlier this summer, Lionel Richie was rushed to a hospital after he had a dizzy spell during his concert in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The 77-year-old sat down after he felt dizzy and was forced to abruptly end his show.
After the June hospitalization, Lionel Richie postponed his concert in Chicago.
“Under advisement by doctors to rest and return to full health, Lionel Richie has postponed his show on Friday, June 26 in Chicago, IL,” the United Center said in June.
Crazy As It Sounds, There Are Probably Microscopic Mites In Your Face Pores That Come Out At Night
August 31, 2026
(Note: Thank you for supporting businesses like the one presenting a sponsored message below and working with them through the links below which benefits Gateway Pundit. We appreciate your support!)
Dermatologists can scrape your cheek, put it under a microscope, and show you an eight-legged mite living in the pore. It’s called Demodex brevis. It’s about a fifth of a millimeter long. And it’s invisible to the naked eye.
They live in the oil glands and feed on the oil your face already makes. At night they crawl out of the pore, mate, and crawl back in to lay eggs.
People with rosacea often have far more of these mites living on their face than people without it. When the mite population gets high, it can stir up the skin’s immune system and trigger inflammation. That means more redness, more irritation, and more of the bumps and pimples people recognize as rosacea.
A 2014 PLOS One study pulled Demodex DNA from 100% of the adults over 18 they tested.
The Cleveland Clinic says you cannot wash these mites off, and they tell people to skip thick, greasy face products because that extra oil is what the mites eat. The drugstore jar that feels rich can be feeding the mite colony you were trying to cover up.
That’s where an ivermectin cream can help. The same ivermectin the media lied about during COVID. Ivermectin is made to kill parasites. And studies show it can greatly reduce the number of Demodex mites living on the skin. At the same time, it can help reduce the redness, bumps, and inflammation that come with rosacea.
So instead of only covering up what you see in the mirror, ivermectin targets one of the things that could drive the problem underneath.
In 2014, Stein, Kircik, Fowler and colleagues tested 1% ivermectin cream once a day for 12 weeks. They found:
By week 12, 38.4% and 40.1% of patients were clear or almost clear, versus 11.6% and 18.8% on the cream with no ivermectin.
In 2017, Schaller’s team put 1% ivermectin cream on 20 people with a heavy Demodex load. They found:
Mite counts fell at week 6 and week 12, and 16 of the 20 people were clear or almost clear.
A visit to the dermatologist plus 1% ivermectin cream plus all the other things a dermatologist recommends could run you $1,800. Instead, The Wellness Company’s Clear Skin Ivermectin Cream is the 3-in-1 for $199.99. One customer was down to twice a week after two months.
How you use it: Apply a thin layer, every other night the first couple of weeks, then nightly.
People who got Clear Skin Ivermectin Cream talk about how fast the redness and bumps went away.
One customer wrote: “There was improvement in my rosacea-related skin issues on the second day of usage and results continue to improve.”
Another had spent years on expensive dermatologist treatments that did nothing. “Within two weeks of using this cream, my face cleared up. After two months, only using the product twice a week, my cheeks look healthy again.”
Don’t wait for the next flare.

Social Media ROASTS Far-Left Abdul El-Sayed Over Painfully Awkward Endorsement Video That Looks Like a “Hostage Tape” — Woman Struggles Through Talking Points as El-Sayed Nudges Her Along
August 31, 2026
Michigan Democrats tried to stage a show of support for far-left Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and produced one of the most painfully awkward campaign clips of the election cycle.
Radical Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, the socialist-backed Senate nominee who narrowly beat a more moderate opponent in August, is out with another campaign moment that is drawing widespread mockery online.
In a press conference clip circulating Monday, El-Sayed stands beside an unidentified woman at the podium as she reads from prepared remarks. She looks down at her papers, appears uncomfortable, and pauses as if she would rather be anywhere else.
Sen. Mallory McMorrow stands nearby, holding notes and has a grip on the woman’s arm. Local Detroit media microphones are clustered in front of them.
At multiple points, El-Sayed leaned toward the woman, nodded aggressively, and appeared to prod her to continue.
“Mike Rogers has a history of voting for bills that protect corporations and harm workers,” she read.
After another agonizing pause, the woman attempted to contrast Rogers with El-Sayed, saying the Democrat rejects corporate PAC money and stands with workers.
She then appeared to call El-Sayed a candidate for the Michigan state Senate, even though he is running for the United States Senate, before concluding that he is “the best person for this assignment.”
WATCH:
Chief Content Officer for Right Line News, Eric Daugherty, wrote on X:
“Abdul El Sayed has this woman out vouching for him but it looks like a hostage video. Abdul keeps nudging in, pushing her to keep going. She does not look like she wants ANYTHING TO DO with this Jihadist! Straight-up struggling to read the campaign-fed talking points. Yikes…”
Fox News contributor Joe Concha wrote on X: “Some hostage video vibes happening right here…”
El-Sayed’s campaign has already produced its share of bizarre viral moments.
CNN data analyst Harry Enten also recently described El-Sayed as a “weak candidate” after polling showed him deeply underwater with Michigan voters.
El-Sayed has faced additional scrutiny over his remarks following the March terrorist attack against Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township.
The Gateway Pundit reported Sunday that El-Sayed apologized to Michigan Jewish Democrats after attempting to offer “broader context” for the attack and declaring that “hurt people hurt people.”
The Gateway Pundit has also reported on El-Sayed’s 2022 remarks in which he compared Oklahoma’s anti-Sharia amendment to the Trail of Tears, the destruction of Black Wall Street, and the Oklahoma City bombing.
El-Sayed will face Trump-endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in November in a crucial race that could determine control of the United States Senate.
If Michigan Democrats were hoping Monday’s event would reassure skeptical voters, this “hostage video” endorsement probably did the exact opposite.
BREAKING: Supreme Court Allows Trump to Proceed with White House Ballroom Construction in 5-4 Ruling – Roberts Sides with Liberal Justices
August 31, 2026
The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Trump to proceed with White House Ballroom construction in a 5-4 vote.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts dissented.
After a fierce legal battle with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Trump DOJ asked the US Supreme Court earlier this month to intervene.
DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer argued that the White House Ballroom acts as a military asset because it has a subterranean bunker and rooftop drone port.
Last week, Chief Justice Roberts allowed construction work on Trump’s White House Ballroom to continue… temporarily.
Roberts issued a stay that stayed in place until the Supreme Court considered whether to pause a lower court’s injunction.
On Monday, the high court sided with President Trump, but Justice Roberts said the ballroom construction is “likely unlawful.”
“The government has also established that it will likely suffer irreparable harm from the district court’s injunction and that the balance of the equities tips in its favor,” the Supreme Court’s order read.
Last summer, the Trump Administration announced a White House Ballroom construction project.
“For 150 years, Presidents, Administrations, and White House Staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed. President Donald J. Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future Administrations and the American people,” the Trump White House said.
“The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders and other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building entrance. The White House State Ballroom will be a much-needed and exquisite addition of approximately 90,000 total square feet of ornately designed and carefully crafted space, with a seated capacity of 650 people — a significant increase from the 200-person seated capacity in the East Room of the White House,” they said.
A federal judge earlier this year blocked the construction of the White House Ballroom after the National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration.
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals said Congress has authority over federal property modifications.
President Trump fumed and exposed the “TREASONISTS” who brought the lawsuit against the White House Ballroom.
“These are the TREASONISTS that brought the suit against the Military Complex. They revealed Top Military Secrets!” Trump said in an explosive Truth Social post.
Obama Judge Indira Talwani Doubles Down — Denies Trump Admin and Red States’ Bid to Pause Her Block on USPS Mail-Ballot Integrity Rules
August 31, 2026
Indira Talwani (U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee)
The 14-day Temporary Restraining Order stays in place. Next fight: September 3 hearing on a longer injunction. Midterms are 64 days away.
Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani just told the Trump administration and Republican-led states to sit down.
On Monday, the Boston activist judge denied motions by the Justice Department, the U.S. Postal Service, and intervening red-state defendants to undo her 14-day freeze on the mandatory pieces of the Postal Service’s Final Rule on Ballot Mail for Federal Elections.
The TRO she slapped on the rule last week remains in force. A hearing on whether she will convert that freeze into a longer preliminary injunction is set for Wednesday, September 3.
In her electronic order, Talwani argued that the Trump administration and intervening Republican states failed to justify immediately undoing the TRO.
She also rejected their argument that appellate review could come too late, claiming the temporary order is likely not immediately appealable because it lasts only 14 days.
Talwani once again declared that the challengers are likely to succeed in their effort to kill the election-integrity regulations, writing that the USPS likely “lacked authority to issue the Final Rule” and that the rule is “substantively unconstitutional and contrary to law.”

This is the same judge who was forced only days ago to withdraw her previous nationwide injunction after the Supreme Court concluded that the earlier lawsuits were premature because the Postal Service had not yet issued a final rule.
But now that USPS has finalized the regulations, Talwani claims the Supreme Court’s ruling no longer controls the case.
How convenient.
The USPS rule requires state and local election officials to submit their ballot-envelope designs for approval and use a federal portal containing information associated with each mailed ballot, including the voter’s name, address and unique Intelligent Mail barcode.
The Postal Service’s final rule states that the portal is not intended to replace official voter rolls and that USPS will not independently determine voter eligibility. Instead, the system establishes uniform standards for identifying and tracking federal ballot mail.
The rule grew out of President Trump’s March 31 executive order, “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections.”
But Democrat-led states and left-wing voting organizations immediately ran to court, claiming the new requirements could prevent allegedly eligible voters from receiving or returning mail ballots.
Talwani embraced that argument, claiming election officials would be unable to redesign envelopes, secure USPS approval, update their election systems, train workers and upload voter information before the midterms.
The judge further argued that imposing the regulations so close to Election Day would violate the public’s need for “clear and settled rules of the road.”
Of course, the practical result of Talwani’s order is that the administration’s attempt to establish uniform mail-ballot safeguards is itself being blocked in the name of avoiding disruption.
Talwani acknowledged that states may voluntarily submit their ballot designs to USPS or upload voter information to the federal portal while the TRO remains in effect. Her order only freezes the mandatory enforcement of the requirements.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Talwani accused the Postal Service of violating her earlier injunction after the agency completed its final rulemaking process.
The final rule expressly stated that USPS would not implement the requirements for the 2026 election unless the government obtained relief from the court orders then in place.
Talwani nevertheless accused the administration of “complete noncompliance.”
Then, on August 26, The Gateway Pundit reported that Talwani was forced to lift her previous nationwide injunction following the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. California.
Now Talwani is refusing to lift that block while the clock ticks toward the November midterms.
The next major showdown is scheduled for September 3, when Talwani will hear arguments over whether to extend her judicial blockade against Trump’s mail-ballot safeguards.
