White Coupled Jumped by Black Mob in Cincinnati Exposes City's Systemic Racism, Starting with the Police Chief

White Coupled Jumped by Black Mob in Cincinnati Exposes City's Systemic Racism, Starting with the Police ChiefA video showing a black mob beat a white couple nearly to death went viral. The incident happened in the city of Cincinnati, whose police chief has become the symbol of the systemic racism pushed by Democrats that is leading to black assaults on white people (and, in time, vice versa, by design).

The police chief downplayed the assaults, blaming “social media journalism” for spreading lies, which include the fact that a black mob beat on white people for the crime of being white alone. The chief herself, Theresa Theetge, is facing lawsuits from white citizens who claim they were rejected as police officer candidates for the crime of being white alone.

Court suspends Thailand's Prime Minister Shinawatra : NPR

Thailand’s Constitutional Court has ruled that Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra violated ethics rules during a phone call with a high-ranking Cambodian official. The ruling was 6-3 to remove the youngest Prime Minister in the country’s history, but one representing a family, the Shinawatra family, with a two-decade history of leading Thai politics. In the video, the PM referred to the Cambodian official as “uncle” and also criticized a high ranking Thai army general.

 Thailand’s Constitutional Court on Friday dismissed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, ruling that she violated ethics rules in a phone call with a high-ranking Cambodian official. The decision ends the term of the nation’s youngest prime minister and delivers the latest blow to the powerful Shinawatra political dynasty that has dominated Thai politics for more than two decades.

In a 6-3 vote, the judges found that Paetongtarn’s conduct in a June 15 call with Cambodia’s former leader Hun Sen compromised national interests.

China Is Determined to Hold Firm Against Trump's Pressure ...

In a move that seems to be an absolute reversal of his previous policies, President Trump has announced plans to allow 600,000 Chinese students to go to American universities, though they can only stay for 4 years.  Trump defended the decision, claiming “We’re getting along very well with China…it’s very insulting to say ‘students can’t come here.”

He offered more defense, further claiming “Because they’ll go out and start building schools … but I like that [China’s] students come here. I like that other countries’ students come here. And you know what would happen if they didn’t? Our college system would go to hell, very quickly. … And it wouldn’t be the top colleges; it would be colleges that struggle on the bottom. …

And I told this to President Xi: That we’re honored to have their students here. Now with that, we check, and we’re careful, and we see who’s there … But we have a tremendous college system, the best in the world. Nobody even close — that’s why China sends them here. You can call it an industry if you want … I’m honored to have the students from China come here.”

President Trump and his administration are facing blowback for their plan to allow hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals to continue studying at U.S. universities — and rightly so.

Throughout the past several days, America’s commander-in-chief has doubled down on his ill-advised infatuation with granting these individuals access to the United States’ premier academic institutions.

After first claiming on Monday that it’s “very important” to allow 600,000 Chinese students to attend American colleges — more than double the estimated number admitted annually — Trump reaffirmed his support for such a policy during a Tuesday cabinet meeting. Speaking to reporters, the president contended that “it’s very insulting to say [China’s] students can’t come here.”

“Because they’ll go out and start building schools … but I like that [China’s] students come here. I like that other countries’ students come here,” Trump said. “And you know what would happen if they didn’t? Our college system would go to hell, very quickly. … And it wouldn’t be the top colleges; it would be colleges that struggle on the bottom. … And I told this to President Xi: That we’re honored to have their students here.”

“Now with that, we check, and we’re careful, and we see who’s there … But we have a tremendous college system, the best in the world. Nobody even close — that’s why China sends them here. You can call it an industry if you want … I’m honored to have the students from China come here,” he added.

According to Townhall’s Katie Pavlich, a White House official has since claimed that “President Trump isn’t proposing an increase in student visas for Chinese students,” but that “[t]he 600k references two years worth of visas.”

“It’s simply a continuation of existing policy,” the official reportedly said.

Trump's

President Donald Trump suggested sanctions might come Ukraine’s way if Zelensky doesn’t move to make a deal with Russia. He suggested, “Thousands of young people, mostly young people, are dying every single week. If I can save that, by doing sanctions or by just being me, or by using a very strong tariff system that’s very costly to Russia or Ukraine or whoever we have.”

As a deal seems less likely, Russia has launched a major aerial assault on Kyiv while Ukraine’s drones are taking a significantly slice out of Russia’s supplies, including its oil refineries. Reports of Russian drones following U.S. routes in German, along with friction between Hungary and Ukraine over a bombed crucial oil pipeline for Hungary, suggest the risk for a general European war escalation are still extremely high.

Russia will not face restrictions alone if no progress in settling the conflict is made, the US president has warned

Washington could impose sanctions and tariffs on both Russia and Ukraine if the two adversaries fail to make progress in settling hostilities, US President Donald Trump has said.

Trump made the remarks to reporters at the White House on Tuesday. The US president said that it “takes two to tango,” suggesting that Ukraine’s leader, Vladimir Zelensky, “was not exactly innocent” as far as the lack of progress in ending the conflict.

“Thousands of young people, mostly young people, are dying every single week. If I can save that, by doing sanctions or by just being me, or by using a very strong tariff system that’s very costly to Russia or Ukraine or whoever we have,” Trump stated.

He also reiterated his readiness to slap new restrictions on Moscow. “We want to have an end. We have economic sanctions. I’m talking about economic because we’re not going to get into a world war,” he said.

Trump also seized the opportunity to take jabs at his predecessor Joe Biden, calling him “grossly incompetent” for allowing the Russia-Ukraine conflict to happen in the first place.

DIFFERENT NIGHT, SAME TARGETS: As President Donald Trump considers tightening the economic screws on Moscow sometime in the near but indeterminate future, the air war in Ukraine has settled into almost Groundhog Day-like predictability, with both sides working to gain an advantage as peace prospects fade.

Russia launched another massive attack on Kyiv overnight, hitting familiar civilian targets, a five-story apartment building, a kindergarten, a shopping mall in the center of the city, and an office building housing the European Union delegation to Ukraine. The strikes, which employed almost 600 drones, 20 cruise missiles, nine ballistic missiles, and two Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, hit more than 20 sites and are being described as “the fiercest Russian attack since the Trump-Putin summit.”

“Right now in Kyiv, first responders are clearing the rubble of an ordinary residential building after a Russian strike,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted on X this morning. “Tragically, at least 8 people have already been confirmed dead. One of them is a child. People may still be trapped under the rubble. Dozens are wounded.” The death toll has since grown to at least 14 civilians killed, including three children, with 38 injured.

“Russia chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table. It chooses to continue killing instead of ending the war. And this means that Russia still does not fear the consequences. Russia still takes advantage of the fact that at least part of the world turns a blind eye to murdered children and seeks excuses for Putin,” Zelensky said. “All deadlines have already been broken, dozens of opportunities for diplomacy ruined,” he said. “It is definitely time for new, tough sanctions against Russia for everything it is doing.”

Kyiv, Ukraine — A massive Russian drone and missile attack hit Ukraine’s capital early Thursday, including a rare strike in the center of the city, killing at least 14 people including three children, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. It was the first major Russian combined attack on Kyiv in weeks, and it comes as U.S.-led peace efforts to end the three-year war struggle to gain traction.

“Already 14 people are known to have been killed as a result of the Russian attack, including 3 children. A horrific and deliberate killing of civilians,” Zelenskyy said in a social media post. “The Russians are not choosing to end the war, only new strikes… It is crucial now that the world responds firmly. Russia must stop this war it started and continues. For the spurning of ceasefire and for the constant Russian attempts to weasel out of negotiations, new strong sanctions are needed. Only this can work. The Russians understand only strength and pressure.”

In addition to the deaths, officials said at least 38 people were wounded in the attack.

Russia launched 598 strike drones and decoys and 31 missiles of different types across the country, according to Ukraine’s Air Force, making it one of the largest attacks since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022.  Ukraine’s forces shot down and neutralized all but 41 of the weapons, its Air Force said.

‘IT’S VERY, VERY SERIOUS WHAT I HAVE IN MIND’: Despite being rebuffed at every turn, President Donald Trump is still holding out hope that Russia will come to the table to negotiate an end to the more than three-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine.

At a marathon broadcast Cabinet meeting that ran more than three hours, Trump indicated that despite his frustration, he’s ready to wage economic warfare against Russia to increase the pressure on Vladimir Putin. “It’s very, very serious what I have in mind, if I have to do it. But I want to see it end,” Trump said. “We have economic sanctions. I’m talking about economic. Because we’re not going to get into a world war.”

“Over the last couple of weeks, over 12,000 people died in, like, in two weeks,” Trump said. “They were Russian, they were Ukrainian, they weren’t American. So, a lot of people would say, ‘What do you care? They’re not American.’ I care. They’re 12,000.”

The last general elections in the Buddhist-majority Southeast Asian country were held in November 2020, won by the National League of Democracy (NLD), which was ousted in a military coup in February 2021.

The announcement of polls came after the military junta last month formed a commission to oversee general elections, effectively signalling the end of the state of emergency rule.

Junta chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing also appointed himself as acting president.

Seehafer condemns flag burning | The American Legion

President Donald Trump signed an executive order that essentially calls on the Attorney General to more aggressively pursue “flag burning” cases that cross over from a 1st Amendment expression to inciting “lawless action. The key claim in his EO is this; “The Supreme Court has never held that flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or serve as a form of “fighting words” is constitutionally protected.”

Shortly after the order, Jay Carey, a self-described 20-year veteran, burned the U.S. flag outside the White House in defiance of the order. He was soon arrested. He claimed, “I fought for every single one of your rights to express yourself in however you feel that you may want to express yourself. It is a First Amendment right to burn the American flag. I’m burning this flag as a protest to that illegal fascist president that sits in that house. We burn this flag in protest to that president who feels that it’s his right to do whatever he wants, make whatever law he wants, regardless if it’s legal or illegal.”

Pa. mail ballot envelopes will now be printed with the full year ...

The left has decided to use a sophistic tactic of equivocation in their defense of mass mailer elections. They have decided to simply refer to ALL mail-in ballots as “ABSENTEE ballots,” and accuse Trump and the GOP of seeking to ban absentee ballots. Absentee ballots are intended ONLY for people who will actually be absent, not anyone who doesn’t feel like going to vote on election day.

They will also be denying any evidence of mail-in-ballot corruption despite a recent video capturing a Democrat stuffing a ballot drop box with ballots before an August 5 primary election. The timing couldn’t have been worst as just before Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold told CNN “Mail ballots are secure.”

For mistake-prone Democrats this is a time to take Napoleon’s advice and avoid interrupting Republicans as they self-destruct by carrying out President Trump’s recent directive to abolish absentee and machine voting before the 2026 elections. Trump’s solution: Return the nation to pencil-and-paper balloting, like we used in high school.

I’ll leave aside for the moment the fact that a presidential order to do this would collide with the U.S. Constitution, which essentially instructs the president to bug out of counting, and the impossibility of counting those millions and millions of paper ballots within our lifetimes.

The result, according to mountains of evidence, would be disastrous for Republican candidates in North Carolina at every level. But it would be especially damaging to the candidate at the top of Republican ballots in 2026, Michael Whatley, the likely nominee for the U.S. Senate.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday voided a Pennsylvania law requiring proper dating of mail-in ballots. The law required the rejection of mail-in ballots improperly dated by voters. The Pennsylvania Attorney General, now a Republican, defended the law on appeal after his predecessor, a Democrat, had declined to defend it in a lower court.

Numerous types of dating errors could result in ballot rejection, the appeals court noted:

Pursuant to this “date requirement,” if a return envelope’s date field contains a mistaken additional digit, a stray pen mark, or missing information (including a year) then the ballot contained within that envelope may not be counted. (citations omitted)

The law led to 10,000 discarded ballots in the 2022 General Election. Only 4,500 ballots were discarded in the 2024 General Election after Pennsylvania redesigned the return envelope to reduce the number of discarded ballots.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held that while the dating requirement only minimally burdened voters, the consequences of an improperly dated ballot outweighed any purported benefit of the requirement.

The challenge came after the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania interpreted a part of the state election code requiring voters to “fill out, date and sign” their mail-in ballot. The state supreme court held that the dating requirement mandates discarding ballots that are improperly dated.

42,000+ Children Praying Stock Photos, Pictures & Royalty-Free ...A transgendered nihilist named Robert “Robin” Westman killed two children, ages 8 and 10, and injuring 17 other children. His mother once taught at the Catholic School he opened fire on. The media focused on defending him from being “deadnamed,” as well as calling on guns to be confiscated, with some Republicans, including Trey Gowdy, joining in. Leftists also declared “where’s your god now” and “where’s your prayer now” to Christians wherever they found them online.

The children were participating in a yearly traditional Prayer Mass that begins the school year at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN. The terrorist was well aware of the school and the mass, using an AR-15, a shotgun, and a 9mm handgun to fire through an opaque window before being killed by officers. There were stories of children throwing themselves on top of other children to protect them, including one who was injured.

Two children, aged 8 and 10 were killed, while 14 other students and three additional adults were wounded. Thankfully, all of those injured are expected to survive.

The gunman uploaded a number of disturbing videos prior to carrying out the attack, many of which contained anti-Christian imagery and nods to far-left extremism.

Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and longtime Democratic Party operative Symone Sanders, Steele said that he agrees with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s stance on the “trans community.” After a transgender-identifying gunman killed two children and wounded several others, the far-left mayor has repeatedly stated that the city must stand by its “trans community” and protect them from “abuse” and “harassment.”

“As an elected official, you are on the ground with your folks and you appreciate this journey. I agree with the mayor,” Steele said.

“The thoughts and prayers, I’m so beyond, so beyond that nonsense, the lie of that,” he added with a look of pure disgust on his face. “Because what we have are people who continue to stand in the way of actually doing something to stop the violence against their own kids. It is amazing to me. We watch young kids die in classrooms and now in church, and all we get are thoughts and prayers.”

What wasn’t known was that the shooter was an anti-God, anti-Jewish, anti-Trump transgender former student with serious mental health issues who left a number of messages to that effect on the guns he used.

In the recordings, Westman is shown handling several firearms and ammunition magazines, alongside a target board affixed with an image of Jesus Christ.

Westman declares, “This message brought to you by BlackRock and Exxon Mobil, sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon” near the beginning of the video. The footage has since circulated widely online.

Manuel Oliver, whose own son was killed in a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., went on CNN to say “thoughts and prayers this time are out of the picture. I mean, these kids were actually praying … the God they were all praying to, and still they were shot.”

The implied argument is, if prayer didn’t protect these young Christians from being killed, it must be useless or at least insufficient. There’s a transactional undercurrent to these protestations: that these children placed their faith in God and He failed to hold up His end of the bargain.

Two children are dead, ages 8 and 10, and seventeen others were injured after a trans gunman opened fire at at a Catholic church during morning Mass in Minneapolis Wednesday morning.

The gunman, identified as Robin Westman, 23, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

Armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol, Westman shot through the stained glass windows toward the children sitting in the pews during Mass at the Annunciation Catholic Church, the Associated Press reported. Fourteen of the seventeen wounded victims were reportedly children, according to police.

In a statement on Truth Social, President Trump said that he had been “fully briefed on the tragic shooting” and that the FBI had quickly responded.

“The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!” Trump posted.

What happened today at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis was a horrific tragedy.

I’m sure you’ve heard about the identity of the shooter by now, but in case you haven’t, the gunman was a mentally-ill, transgender man named Robin Westman.

Before gunning down several children at the school, Westman posted a series of disturbing social media videos.

Some of them showed his guns and magazines, on which he scrawled messages — including “Kill Donald Trump.”

However, ABC News’ coverage of that message is highly questionable, to say the least.

In fact, in an apparent attempt to paint Westman as a Trump supporter, ABC News refused to say the exact message.

Instead, correspondent Aaron Katersky vaguely referenced that “President Trump’s name” was written on the gun…

After a few days have passed, Hamas’ ceasefire proposal has not been answered by any major party in any direct way. The proposal would involve hostage/prisoner swaps, with Hamas once again getting significantly more people back than they would be returning. Israel has resumed the assault of Gaza City, aiming to remove Hamas from Gaza altogether, despite the ceasefire proposal.

Hamas has agreed to a new proposal for a ceasefire-hostage release deal with Israel.

The “comprehensive two-stage plan” was based on a framework advanced by US envoy Steve Witkoff and presented to Hamas by Qatari and Egyptian mediators, according to the BBC.

It would see Hamas free around half of the 50 remaining Israeli hostages – 20 of whom are believed to be alive – in two stages during a 60-day temporary truce. During that time, there would be negotiations on a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli troop withdrawal.

This crisis in Gaza is urgent, and my resolution is focused on that humanitarian crisis, and makes it clear that it must be addressed as the emergency that it is.

Now I know that there are some who are interested in making changes today, but as we’ve seen, there’s divide in our party on this issue.

The French government appears to be on the verge of collapse as the embattled Prime Minister François Bayrou faces a no-confidence vote he is likely to lose. This follows his proposal to cut Easter Monday and May 8 as Federal Holidays, meaning the French will have to work two additional days that were previously paid. Protests have already begun and are only expected to increase.

The French public have overwhelmingly opposed plans to rescue the Government’s finances by abolishing two national holidays. Prime Minister François Bayrou proposed the sacrifice of France‘s Easter Monday and May 8 holidays as part of a wider effort to restore public finances. The official suggested that forcing citizens to work on the two days, of the 11 holidays observed by the French public every year, could save €4.2 billion and contribute to wider savings of €44 billion he hopes to achieve in the 2026 Budget.

However, polling carried out by Odoxa and published in Le Parisien this week shows a stark contrast in public opinion, with 84% overwhelmingly opposed to the proposals. They were almost equally against the abolition of just one holiday, with 83% expressing similar hostility to the idea. “The French don’t want it,” Gaël Sliman, president of Odoxa said. “They value their work-life balance, and this measure is seen as an act of violence and a prejudice.”

The study, based on 1,004 people representative of the French population over 18, also found that 80% considered the abolition of public holidays to be a “disguised tax” and 66% did “not see the link between working more and improving France’s debts and deficits”.

A major test looms for France following the likely collapse of French Prime Minister François Bayrou’s government on Sept. 8.

Increasing numbers of people appear to be heeding the calls of a murky, leaderless crusade for a national shutdown on Sept. 10. The movement, initially made up of a constellation of anonymous anti-government accounts of varying political affiliations, began earlier this summer, reaching the general public as anger grew over Bayrou’s plans to lop €43.8 billion from the 2026 budget and slash two bank holidays without offering wage compensation.

Bayrou is expected to lose his job after announcing on Monday that he would convene lawmakers for an extraordinary session to hold a high-stakes confidence vote on Sept. 8 over his unpopular spending plans. Barring a major shift, France’s minority government is unlikely to survive the vote.

President Donald Trump has seen remarkable success after just a few weeks of National Guard patrols on the streets of Washington, D.C., with the Mayor, Muriel Bowser, admitting “We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city… We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer, so this surge has been important to us.”

The DNC media have likened the “surge” to the usual suspects, Nazism and Fascism, but finding it increasingly difficult to find a token black D.C. resident willing to go on camera to do anything other than praise the “surge.” Now, the President is considering taking similar action in other Blue Cities, with many members of the black community welcoming the move.

Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser had some positive things to say about Trump’s law enforcement surge in the city today, noting the drastic drop in crimes, most notably carjackings.

This is sure to cause some anger on the left. This is precisely what most Democrats do not want to hear. They’re still trying to run with the narrative that this was some sort of authoritarian takeover of the city.

What they can’t argue with is numbers, like the ones Bowser is citing here.

NBC News reported:

“We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city,” the mayor, a Democrat, told reporters about the expansion of federal law enforcement and its partnership with the Metropolitan Police Department.

Carjackings, she said, were the “most troubling” crime that plagued D.C. in 2023 and they have decreased in recent years. Bowser said that in the 20 days since the federal takeover, there has been an 87% drop in carjackings compared to the same period last year. The data cited also showed a 15% fall in crime overall in the district during that same period last year.

“We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer, so this surge has been important to us,” said Bowser, who added that she has been personally engaged with Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles…

The mayor said that since the increase in federal law enforcement officers, there have been more stops that have resulted in the seizure of illegal guns and there has been more “accountability in the system” that “is driving down illegal behavior.”

For years, Washington, D.C.’s sanctuary city laws barred local police from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.

Two weeks ago, Trump declared a crime emergency in the nation’s capital and federalized the Metropolitan Police Department for 30 days—the maximum period allowed for a state of emergency before an authorization from Congress is required to lengthen it.

But the president has never been deterred by facts—and he is now setting his sights on additional cities where violent crime has already been falling.

His politicking has persisted into the second Trump administration. Recently, the Federalist obtained a memo revealing Boasberg’s predisposition against Trump. Boasberg advanced, without evidence, that Trump cold create a constitutional crisis.

Ironically, it’s “President Boasberg” who is the real threat in this regard.

Boasberg took on four “Trump cases” in the early weeks of the second Trump administration, blocking and stalling the president’s first wave of executive actions. One such case was a high-profile lawsuit alleging that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and others violated the Federal Records Act by using the encrypted messaging app Signal to discuss military strikes against Houthi terrorists.

In all, 73 people in the U.K. contracted chikungunya, up from 27 in the same span of time in 2024 — a 170% increase in cases.

Chikungunya is a vector-borne illness, infecting humans through mosquito bites. Although it’s rarely fatal, chikungunya’s symptoms are not unlike dengue fever and Zika, including joint swelling, rashes, and fatigue.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), outbreaks tend to emerge in tropical or subtropical regions, and chikungunya cannot spread from person to person. In the U.K., the cases diagnosed in 2025 were all associated with trips abroad.

Today, they face a heart-wrenching dilemma. Rooted in their belief that life is sacred from conception, IBSA has provided health insurance as an Illinois employer for its 20-plus employees and retirees for over a century—always excluding abortion coverage.

But Illinois’ 2019 Reproductive Health Act forces IBSA to choose between providing health insurance or funding abortion, directly violating its deeply held faith. (Keep reading to find out how we’re fighting back!)

A cherished French bakery in Jefferson County, Colorado, is facing potential closure because of the county’s harsh enforcement of exclusionary zoning regulations. This situation underscores how overly restrictive regulations create unnecessary hurdles that stifle entrepreneurship, especially when the local economy is struggling.

This charming mountain community has long grappled with one significant drawback: the lack of a quality café. For many years, residents and visitors have had to travel to the nearby city of Golden for a decent cup of coffee or tasty pastries. So both locals and tourists were thrilled when a French bakery, Et Voilà!, opened less than half a mile from Buffalo Bill’s Museum and Grave.

Et Voilà! — meaning “Here you go” in French — is run by a passionate trio of French immigrants: husband-and-wife team Eric and Rachel Dufour, along with Rachel’s sister, Ruth. After leaving a successful career as an economist, Ruth pursued her passion for baking at renowned chef Olivier Bajard’s pastry school. The Dufours want to share their love for authentic French cuisine with the Lookout Mountain community, creating a welcoming space for locals and visitors.

New details have emerged surrounding the investigation into former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who may have allowed a foreign government to gain access to classified intelligence when publishing a memoir in 2020, according to a bombshell report from the New York Times.

Despite constant allegations from Democrats and mainstream media pundits of political targeting on the part of the Trump Administration, The Times reported that the current investigation into Bolton “began to pick up steam” during the Biden presidency. Intelligence officials began to investigate after obtaining evidence that he may have mishandled classified information, according to unnamed sources familiar with the inquiry.

Credible accusations against Bolton first surfaced in 2020, when the Trump Administration filed a lawsuit attempting to block the release of his book, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir.” The government argued that Bolton did not go through the proper vetting process with the National Security Council when drafting the book, a mandatory process for government officials seeking to publish works that may contain classified information.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth refused to block the publication, but only because it was too late. He did conclude, however, that Bolton “likely published classified materials” and had “exposed his country to harm.” He later allowed the wider lawsuit to go forward, which was ultimately dismissed by the Biden Administration in 2021.

Fox News Host Says MN Shooter’s Trans Identity Is Irrelevant – trendingpoliticsnews.com

Fox News host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, who primarily goes by just “Kennedy” on the network, argued during Wednesday’s installment of “The Five” that Robin Westman’s transgender identity is irrelevant when discussing Wednesday’s mass shooting targeting a Catholic school in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Westman — a biological male who started “identifying” as a female when he was 17 — indiscriminately opened fire on students as they were attending a school-wide mass on Wednesday morning. Two children, aged 8 and 10 were killed, while 14 other students and three additional adults were wounded. Thankfully, all of those injured are expected to survive.

The gunman uploaded a number of disturbing videos prior to carrying out the attack, many of which contained anti-Christian imagery and nods to far-left extremism. Westman scribbled a number of messages on his weapons, including “Where is your god,” “I’m the woker, why so queerious” and “Kill Donald Trump.”

MSNBC Host Trashes Christians, Refers To Prayer As A ‘Lie’ –  trendingpoliticsnews.com

Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele — who now works as a partisan left-wing host for MSNBC — trashed Christians and conservatives for offering prayers in the aftermath of Wednesday’s shooting targeting the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

While speaking on a panel that included U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and longtime Democratic Party operative Symone Sanders, Steele said that he agrees with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s stance on the “trans community.” After a transgender-identifying gunman killed two children and wounded several others, the far-left mayor has repeatedly stated that the city must stand by its “trans community” and protect them from “abuse” and “harassment.”

“As an elected official, you are on the ground with your folks and you appreciate this journey. I agree with the mayor,” Steele said.

“The thoughts and prayers, I’m so beyond, so beyond that nonsense, the lie of that,” he added with a look of pure disgust on his face. “Because what we have are people who continue to stand in the way of actually doing something to stop the violence against their own kids. It is amazing to me. We watch young kids die in classrooms and now in church, and all we get are thoughts and prayers.”

It led to the discovery of two videos, one showing the manifesto being revealed, some of which was written in Cyrillic, and another showing the arsenal of weapons that were assembled for the assault.

“Kill Donald Trump” and other rantings were inscribed on the magazines. There were also a slew of antisemitic and anti-religious scribblings, too. Westman was unhinged. Still, the FBI says it’s now investigating this as an act of anti-Catholic domestic terrorism:

Saving Kids From Trans Contagion Will Take More Than Laws – thefederalist.com

While the Trump administration and many state legislatures are showing it is possible to ban transgender child mutilation procedures, the top contributing factors to children adopting a transgender identity haven’t gone away. Those include family breakdown, psychological abuse, and leftist-controlled mass media. Government can affect these factors, but not quickly.

This means the transgender social contagion will last some time, especially in culturally leftist locales. How can compassionate friends help these sufferers among us?

Embracing God’s Design, a magazine-like, easy-to-read new book by Dr. Jennifer Bauwens and Walt Heyer, gives some evidence-based ideas. The book details where transgenderism comes from historically, psychologically, and politically, and how to respond in a way that expresses genuine love for those who suffer from it. It is a how-to manual for parents, teachers, pastors, churchgoers, and anyone else who interacts with a sexually confused person — which at this point is most Americans.

Trans shooter Robert “Robin” Westman, who opened fire on Catholic children while they worshipped in Minnesota at Annunciation Catholic School, had a disturbing manifesto that glorified school shootings and paid tribute to Luigi Mangione

One sticker on the journal reads “Defend Equality,” featuring an image of a machine gun imposed on top of a pride flag. Others display the Nintendo character Luigi, a reference to Luigi Mangione — the man who assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.

As reported earlier, Westman uploaded disturbing videos to YouTube prior to the attack, lacing them with pop culture allusions and tributes to notorious mass killers. In the recordings, Westman is shown handling several firearms and ammunition magazines, alongside a target board affixed with an image of Jesus Christ.

Westman declares, “This message brought to you by BlackRock and Exxon Mobil, sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon” near the beginning of the video. The footage has since circulated widely online. According to police, the rampage left at least two children dead and 17 people injured — 14 of them minors — when gunfire erupted at a Catholic school during morning mass.
