White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made clear Monday that Democrat rhetoric is partly to blame for the violent acts directed at President Donald Trump and his supporters.

The Justice Department charged 31-year-old Cole Allen with three felony counts, including attempted assassination, after the California man allegedly charged a security checkpoint and opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner Saturday night at the Washington Hilton Hotel.

Allen sent a manifesto to some of his family members regurgitating stuff that sounds right out of Democrat talking points. Allen also attended at least one “No Kings” rally in Los Angeles, which is an event put together by former Democratic Capitol Hill staffers.

The event organizers described the one last June on Trump’s birthday, posting on their website, “No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like.”

(LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life leaders are criticizing a Democratic congressional candidate who recently explained why she killed two innocent preborn babies in the womb.

The interview also highlights the extremism of the environmentalist movement, which puts bees and trees above babies, and the ethical problems with in vitro fertilization (IVF).

California candidate Esther Kim Varet made the comments during a recent episode of a show called “The Happily Never After.” She is running in the 40th Congressional District against Congresswoman Young Kim, a Republican.

The title of the episode, “All About Abortion,” underscores how the direct and intentional killing of innocent preborn babies is important to Varet.

The gap between language model capabilities and robotic deployment has been narrowing considerably over the past 18 months. A new class of foundation models — purpose-built not for text generation but for physical action — is now running on real hardware across factories, warehouses, and research labs. These systems span deployed robot policies, private-preview VLAs, open-weight research models, and world models used to scale robot training data. Some are being evaluated or deployed with industrial partners; others are primarily research or developer-facing systems. Here is a breakdown of the ten that matter most in 2026.

US ‘humiliated’ by Iranian leadership – German chancellor — RT World News– www.rt.com

Friedrich Merz says Washington has “no convincing strategy” in talks with Tehran

The US lacks a coherent negotiation strategy and is being “humiliated” by Iran, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday.

Merz made the remarks as the vital Strait of Hormuz remains closed to most shipping, driving up global energy prices.

“The Iranians are clearly stronger than expected, and the Americans clearly have no truly convincing strategy in the negotiations either,” Merz said during a visit to a school in Marsberg, North Rhine-Westphalia.

“The problem with conflicts like this is always that you don’t just have to get in – you also have to get out again. We saw that very painfully in Afghanistan for 20 years. We saw it in Iraq,” the chancellor said, according to Deutsche Welle.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a wannabe Barack Obama, doubled down on his “maximum warfare” comment he made last week despite the urge to tone down the rhetoric after President Donald Trump faced his third assassination attempt.

Disgusting:

As it relates to anything that has been said, certainly as it relates to the comment related to “maximum warfare everywhere, all the time,” in connection with the redistricting battle that Republicans launched, I stand by it. You can continue to criticize me for it.

I don’t give a damn about your criticism as it relates to anything that has been said, certainly as it relates to the comment related to maximum warfare.

It’s been 48 hours since the attempted assassination of President Trump and senior Cabinet officials at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Sadly, one network endeavors to deemphasize the words contained within the shooter’s manifesto, and hide his leanings from viewer consideration.

Watch as correspondent Matt Gutman papers over all of these important insights into the shooter, reducing his statements to his mockery of the security arrangements outside the D.C. Hilton:

MATT GUTMAN: In an email to family timed to be sent just before the incident, police say the suspect himself expressed surprise at the security footprint. He wrote “I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat. The security at the event is all outside… because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.”

The ongoing military conflict regarding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz may well mirror a future situation off-Earth — the use of cislunar space, the region between the moon and our planet. Think blockades, seizing of ships, impacts on the global economy, repercussions in terms of needed resources and markets, from fuel to high-tech semiconductors and production processes. Now turn your attention skyward and note that the U.S. Space Force is establishing a dedicated acquisition office to appraise the importance of the cislunar region for warfighting and national security.

In recent weeks, there has been palpable excitement over NASA’s Artemis 2 moon mission and the announcement of the space agency’s ambitious plans for human habitation of the moon. “In parallel, Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz, causing global energy markets to spike and everyone to notice, yet again, how vulnerable we are to accidents of geography,” said Marc Feldman, executive director of the Center for the Study of Space Crime, Piracy & Governance. “Sometimes, a pair of events contains a warning, if you are able to see it”, Feldman added.

For years now, astronomers have been witnessing what seems like an ever-growing puzzle regarding the early formation of the universe. According to recent findings, some supermassive black holes, with masses ranging up to one billion times larger than the sun’s, were formed within less than a billion years following the formation of the universe itself. This phenomenon is hard to understand according to current scientific explanations for the evolution of black holes. Normally, black holes are created when stars collapse and gradually increase in size. This is because the entire process requires time. However, recent findings made through the use of the James Webb Space Telescope point toward the opposite. There might be an unknown force behind their quick formation, and dark matter could be the answer.

Illinois Gov. Blames Trump For Political Violence After Assassination Attempt– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Speaking with CNN’s Manu Raju, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker discussed political violence in America after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The problem with his remarks is that he decided to blame the president, despite this being the third assassination attempt on his life. Rather than call out the left, which is the side largely responsible for much of the political violence in this country, he decided to slander Conservatives, as he failed to acknowledge any form of self-reflection.

According to Pritzker, it is the president who calls for political violence against the other side, so much so that he has called for jailing his political opponents. The problem with this, however, is that reality proves otherwise, so much so that the level of projection in his remarks is unbelievable.

During the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese War, a 26-year-old company commander’s unit was pinned down by a fortified hilltop. After frontal assaults failed, the junior officer made an extraordinary request: an entire battalion, four times the size of his own unit, for a jungle flanking maneuver. The regimental commander agreed. The surprise assault broke the Vietnamese defense. This company commander’s pedigree was as formidable as his tactics: His father was a founding general who had just retired as head of the Chinese military’s General Logistics Department.

Five years later, that same officer commanded the regiment tasked with the main assault at the Battle of Laoshan, the largest engagement of the Sino-Vietnamese border war. His attack plan, the military’s first complete infantry-artillery coordination plan since the Cultural Revolution, required massed artillery support far exceeding what any single regimental commander could normally secure. During a massive counterattack, his regiment held the line against six enemy regiments. His competence was real. So was the informal network of guanxi — the entrenched personal connections and reciprocal obligations — that put him in a position to demonstrate it.

The officer was Zhang Youxia. In January 2026, nearly half a century after his triumph in Vietnam, he became the most senior general to fall in General Secretary Xi Jinping’s unprecedented purge.

U.K. leader Starmer faces more pressure over Mandelson ambassador appointment– www.washingtontimes.com

LONDON — U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s former chief of staff said Tuesday that he made a “serious mistake” by recommending Peter Mandelson be made U.K. ambassador to the United States, but denied interfering with the appointment process.

Morgan McSweeney told lawmakers on the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee that it had been “a serious error of judgment” to back Mandelson. The committee is investigating how Mandelson, a scandal-tainted friend of Jeffrey Epstein, was given the key diplomatic job despite failing security checks.

McSweeney said that “the prime minister relied on my advice, and I got it wrong.” He apologized to Epstein’s victims, saying “I am sorry for any part this controversy has played in causing further hurt or distress.”

McSweeney’s testimony came as Starmer faced more heat Tuesday over the appointment, with lawmakers set to vote on whether the U.K. leader should be investigated by a parliamentary standards watchdog over the ill-fated decision.
