Sweden, which has been overrun by mass migration from Islamists that hate their country, and are now proceeding to rape and plunder it, is looking to disarm its citizens after the nation’s worst mass shooting in history. The shooting at an adult center left 10 victims dead, with the shooter committing suicide.
The government response to the tragedy was to state, “There are certain types of weapons that are so dangerous that they should only be possessed for civilian purposes as an exception,” while Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said, “We have to ensure that only the right people have guns in Sweden.” The opposition party is aboard with the plan.
Death Toll in Swedish School Shooting at 11 as Authorities Slow-Walk the Truth About the Incident – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
We believe that 11 people, including the shooter, were killed at Campus Risbergska, a school for adults in the city of Örebro, about 125 miles from Stockholm. “At least” six people were seriously wounded, according to the police.
In this case, local media is filling in some of the blanks.
The police say that the attacker “acted alone.” They say he was “unknown to the police.” They say the attack was not based on ideology. They claim the attacker did not belong to a gang.
The police also say that this information may change.
“At the moment, the police believe that the perpetrator was acting alone, but we cannot rule out more perpetrators connected to the incident,” police said Tuesday.
“The reason it took so long to give a death toll was due to the size of the school premises, according to local police chief Mr. Forest,” reports the BBC. There were four other schools on the Risbergska campus with about 2,000 students. It’s large, but they couldn’t search all of it in 24 hours?
In an interview with the Aftonbladet tabloid, a relative of the suspect says he had not had much contact with family in recent years and was unemployed.
“As a child he was different but lively. He did well at school. But recent years were tough for him.”
Another relative says the man, who allegedly changed his surname eight years ago, was a “recluse” and may have had mental health problems.
“Before, he had a friend he spent he spent a lot of time with, but not now. He wants to be on his own. He doesn’t seem to like people much.”
Hours after the attack, heavily armed officers raided a flat in Orebro believed to be registered to the man, using drones and a ladder truck, according to Swedish Radio.
The broadcaster found he had no convictions to his name and had declared no income over the past few years.
The mid-air collision over the Potomac River that led to the deaths of 67 people, 64 people on the jet and three on the helicopter, was caused by pilot error an initial NTSB report claims. The report cites the altitude of the helicopter, which was at 300 feet, 100 feet over the 200 feet limit.
Video of the crash leaked by airport workers shows the helicopter appears to have had plenty of time to see the plane and get out of the way. The airport workers were arrested. The pilot is Rebecca Lobach, whose social media presence appears to have been scrubbed before her name was released. Her family, reportedly, was worried she would be called a DEI hire.
NTSB Update Confirms Black Hawk Helicopter Made Crucial Error Before Plane Crash– www.westernjournal.com Source Link Excerpt:
The National Transportation Safety Board released an update on Tuesday informing the public that the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with an American Airlines plane in Washington, D.C., last week was flying too high at the time of the crash.
The agency found that the Black Hawk was positioned at 300 feet on the air traffic control display.
That is 100 feet higher than the ceiling of 200 feet for helicopters in the National Capital Region, according to a report from Fox News.
The report confirms earlier analysis of the crash, including from President Donald Trump, who wrote in a post on Truth Social that the “helicopter was flying too high, by a lot. It was far above the 200 foot limit.”
But it leaves key questions unanswered, particularly the cause of the error: Malfunctioning equipment? A mistake by the pilot? Some other reason?
The NTSB also recovered various parts of the Bombardier CRJ700 operated by American Airlines from the Potomac River.
The parts include the “right wing, center fuselage, part of the left wing and left fuselage, significant portions of the forward cabin and cockpit, vertical and horizontal stabilizers, tail cone, rudder, elevators, TCAS computer and quick access recorder.”
But he said that the American commercial air travel system remains safe.
“We have the safest skies in the whole world. Traveling by air is the safest mode of transportation,” Duffy said.
“It’s not just air traffic controllers, but we do have technologies on airplanes to keep them separated,” he added. “So, yeah, no, this is the safest system.”
Duffy also criticized the diversity hiring that has occurred for air traffic controllers and said that the country should instead focus on hiring the most qualified candidates.
“You can’t focus on diversity, equity and inclusion when you try to hire air traffic controllers. You focus on the best and brightest,” Duffy added.
“I mean, again, some people like me like to have this conversation around equity. But if it’s your pilots or if it’s your air traffic controllers, you want the best. You want the brightest protecting yourself and your family. That’s what we’re going to do with the department.”
In Joint Presser With Bibi, Trump Says US Will Turn Gaza Into ‘Riviera of the Middle East’– freebeacon.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Donald Trump outlined ambitious plans to resettle Gaza’s population, “take over” the war-torn strip, clear out “unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” and spearhead “economic development.” A rebuilt Gaza, Trump said, could be “the Riviera of the Middle East.”
Trump’s remarks came during a Tuesday evening joint press conference with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who became the first foreign leader to visit the White House during Trump’s second term. Trump spoke at length about his call, first floated last week, to resettle Gaza’s residents. The strip, Trump said, “has been a symbol of death and destruction for decades” and “should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people who have … lived a miserable existence there.” Instead, he said, the United States “will take over the Gaza Strip” through “a long-term ownership position” and lead the rebuilding process.
.@KellyO on U.S. taking over Gaza strip: “Are you talking about a permanent occupation there? Redevelopment?”
“It just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has for 100 years,” Trump said of Gaza. “We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal, and I don’t want to be cute, I don’t want to be a wise guy, but the Riviera of the Middle East—this could be something that could be so magnificent.”
JUST IN: President Trump says the Gaza Strip will become the “Riviera of the Middle East” just minutes after saying the U.S. would “take over” the Strip.
“We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal.”
Trump repudiates Rubio’s attempt to repair Gaza foolishness– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Donald Trump has repudiated efforts by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt to row back his foolish comments on Gaza.
At a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, Trump said he wanted to see Palestinians “permanently” relocated out of Gaza and the United States take a “long-term ownership interest” over the Gaza Strip. Refusing to rule out deploying U.S. military forces to secure control over the Palestinian territory, Trump further suggested that he might grant U.S. recognition of full Israeli sovereignty over the Palestinian West Bank.
Trump’s ambitions lack either political or historic justification. If actively pursued, they would greatly fuel both violent jihadist mobilization and moderate Muslim antagonism against the U.S. Trump’s plans would also require U.S. troops to engage in ground force combat operations against Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other terrorist organizations. Put simply, Trump’s Gaza proposal runs dangerously counter to U.S. interests while being utterly at odds with the president’s oft-stated pledge to avoid “stupid wars.”
Trump’s Radical Plan to Take Over Gaza – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
It was too much even for some die-hard Donald Trump supporters when he said Tuesday that the U.S. would “take over” and “own” the Gaza Strip, using American forces to clear out the weapons and unexploded ordinance. My colleague Robert Spencer reported all the gory details for you last night, so I won’t go over those again.
But you do need to see some of the reactions before we get to what’s really going on here.
Varad Mehta, a generally pro-Trump conservative, said that “the idea the US should play a predominant, let alone the leading role in said reconstruction and effectively colonize Gaza, is bonkers.”
Cynical Publius is one of my go-to guys for sharp conservative commentary, and even he admitted that “Trump is testing my limits on this one.” And while Publius “will follow my own advice for now” and give Trump the benefit of the doubt, he is “deeply concerned that we are introducing US troops into the Gaza quagmire, which goes against the ‘No more forever wars’ mantra we all got behind during the election.”
And Another Thing: “Forever wars” is a lazy accusation, in addition to being ahistorical bunk — but I still find myself using it sometimes and won’t criticize Publius for using it.
Congresscritter Rashida Tlaib (D-Caliphate), showing her usual restraint, said, “This president can only spew this fanatical bullshit because of bipartisan support in Congress for funding genocide and ethnic cleansing.” It also didn’t take long for anti-Israel protestors to show up at the White House last night, waving their Hamas flags.
Everybody, left and right, please take a deep breath and relax. Trump’s opening bid is almost never his play — and I think I have his play figured out.
Pam Bondi, the former Attorney General of Florida, has been confirmed as the next Attorney General by a vote of 54-46, with one Democrat, John Fetterman, joining the republicans to confirm her. Since she was appointed, she has already moved to create a “Weaponization Working Group” to investigate the lawfare prosecutions of President Trump and other DNC-CCP opponents.
Bondi also immediately halted funding to all Sanctuary cities, cities run by the party of sedition, the DNC-CCP, that openly defy Federal laws regarding illegal immigration. She also issued a warning to prosecutors that “Targeting of Catholics, Parents, and Pro-Life Americans must stop.”
Senate Confirms Bondi As The Next U.S. Attorney General– thefederalist.com Source Link Excerpt:
The Senate has confirmed Pamela Bondi as the next United States attorney general.
The Senate confirmed Bondi in a vote of 54 to 46 Tuesday night, with all Republicans and one Democrat voting in favor of confirmation. The former Florida attorney general earned a reputation for fighting opioid “pill mills,” human trafficking, and organized crime. Trump said when he tapped Bondi for the role of United States attorney general that “she is smart and tough” and “will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting crime.”
“Congratulations to our wonderful and very talented United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, who gets sworn in today amid tremendous support, and the respect of ALL,” President Donald Trump wrote Wednesday on Truth Social. “I know Pam well, it was an honor to appoint her, and my prediction is that she will go down as one of the best and most consequential Attorney Generals in the history of our Country.”
Bondi will likely play an instrumental role in Trump’s reform of federal law enforcement. If Congress confirms Trump’s FBI director nominee Kash Patel, the duo will be tasked with de-weaponizing an apparatus that, for far too long, has targeted conservatives — from Trump, to non-violent Jan. 6 protestors, to a whistleblower who exposed child transgender mutilations.
Bondi’s office will also face issues like enforcing immigration law, executing antitrust laws against Big Tech, and ensuring equal treatment of citizens by federal agencies.
Our new Attorney General: “My overriding objective will be to return the Dept of Justice to its core mission of keeping Americans safe and vigorously prosecuting criminals. I will do everything in my power to MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!”

The “Weaponization Working Group” will review politically motivated investigations including Special Counsel Jack Smith, NY DA Alvin Bragg, NY AG Leticia James, and the prosecution of J6ers.
The working group’s first reviews will include prosecutions against Trump led by:
-Former Special Counsel Jack Smith; who was after President Donald Trump in the 2020 election case and the classified documents case – both were dismissed.
-Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg who pursued the Hush Money case
– And New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the civil fraud case against Trump and his family resulting in a historic and unheard of $454 Million bond being issued
AG Pam Bondi Halts Funding to Sanctuary Cities– gellerreport.com Source Link Excerpt:
Independent: Hours after she was sworn in, Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the Justice Department to pause all federal funding for sanctuary cities.

She also tasked the department with investigating instances of sanctuary jurisdictions obstructing law enforcement and “directing they be prosecuted, when necessary.” Several offices within the Justice Department provided $1.56 billion in grants to sanctuary cities in 2023 (Independent).
New York Post: The memo orders an immediate 60-day pause on distribution of funds — with a report on further steps due to Bondi’s desk within 45 days. Bondi’s order also says the DOJ “shall not enter into any new contract, grant, or other agreement to provide Federal funding to non-governmental organizations that support or provide services, either directly or indirectly (e.g., through sub-contracting or other arrangements), to removable or illegal aliens” (New York Post).

Elon Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) has uncovered a major, decades-long insurrectionist slush fund disguised as humanitarian aid from the U.S. The intention of the fund appears to be to fund insurrectionists at home and abroad, from funding far-left illegal political content marketers to George Soros’ seditionist Attorney Generals, the billions of dollars flowing out of that fund appears overwhelmingly to be nothing but a slush fund and money laundering operation for the DNC-CCP.
The pushback from the insurrectionist left is coming through courts, who are unconstitutionally blocking efforts by DOGE to uncover the rot and purge the system of the insurrectionists within it, and Democrat operatives both in elected office and in their illegal content marketing companies who are issuing death threats to DOGE employees and “Nazi” accusations against the Trump administration, rhetoric designed to trigger their sleeper cells to violently attack the republic.

List of USAID’s Outrageous Grants – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
Read some examples below from Mast’s list of other preposterous expenditures of our hard-earned cash, and keep in mind how many Americans were struggling to pay bills or suffering from natural disasters under the Biden-Harris administration:
$1 million to boost French-speaking LGBTQ groups in West and Central Africa through the State Department.
$14 million in cash vouchers for migrants at the southern border through the State Department.
$20,600 for a drag show in Ecuador through the State Department.
$47,020 for a transgender opera in Colombia through the State Department.
$32,000 for an LGBTQ-centered comic book in Peru through the State Department.
$55,750 for a climate change presentation warning about the impact of climate change in Argentina to be led by female and LGBT journalists through the State Department.
$3,315,446 for “being LGBTQ in the Caribbean” through USAID.
$7,071.58 for a BIPOC speaker series in Canada through the State Department.
$80,000 for an LGBTQ community center in Bratislava, Slovakia through the State Department.
$3.2 million to help Tunisian migrants readjust to life in Tunisia after deportation through the State Department.
$16,500 to foster a “united and equal queer-feminist discourse in Albanian society” through the State Department.
$10,000 to pressure Lithuanian corporations to promote “DEI values” through the State Department.
$8,000 to promote DEI among LGBTQ groups in Cyprus through the State Department.
$1.5 million to promote job opportunities for LGBTQ individuals in Serbia through USAID.
$70,884 to create a U.S.-Irish musical to promote DEI in Ireland through the State Department.
$39,652 to host seminars at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on gender identity and racial equality through the State Department.
$2.5 million to build electric vehicle charging stations in Vietnam’s largest cities through USAID [this is especially silly since most Vietnamese are too dirt-poor for any car; I’ve seen that in person].
$425,622 to help Indonesian coffee companies become more climate and gender friendly through USAID.
It’s all a total grift. No more than 12 cents of every USAID dollar actually reaches the intended target. It seems pretty clear that the agency is little more than a money-laundering operation and, as such, it’s praiseworthy and long overdue that the Trump administration aims to shut it down.

USAID helped fund the ‘Soros prosecutors’– www.americanthinker.com Source Link Excerpt:
If Elon Musk—who has been an advocate for free speech and small government—has an evil twin, that evil twin is George Soros. Soros, as conservatives know, has spent his billions funding organizations dedicated to leftist causes. One of the causes with the greatest impact has been funding “Soros prosecutors”—hard-left lawyers who refuse to prosecute criminals but enthusiastically prosecuted Trump and other conservatives. It now appears that some large amounts of the money the Soros organizations used to get these prosecutors in office came from USAID.
The story begins with the Tides Foundation and the Tides Center, a grant-giving organization. Here’s a short version of what Discover the Networks (“DtN”) says about these two related organizations.
The set-up is that the Tides Foundation and the related (although legally distinct) Tide Center are two sides of a public charity that operates as a clearinghouse between wealthy leftists and hard-left institutions. By donating to Tides, the donors aren’t seen as having a direct connection with radical groups. Leftist non-profits can also get money from Tide and then funnel it to their affiliated for-profit organizations. The whole thing was set up as a scam and a cover.
Per DtN, these are just a few of the leftist causes Tides funds:
Among the crusades to which Tides contributes are: radical environmentalism; the “exclusion of humans from public and private wildlands”; the anti-war movement; anti-free trade campaigns; the banning of firearms ownership; abolition of the death penalty; access to government-funded abortion-on-demand; and radical gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender advocacy. The Foundation is also a member organization of the International Human Rights Funders Group, a network of more than six-dozen grantmakers dedicated to financing leftwing groups and causes.
Defunding USAID Is About Shutting Down Left-Wing Propaganda– thefederalist.com Source Link Excerpt:
The most common argument you’ll hear from those defending the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is that the grant dollars in question are just a fraction of the federal budget — less than one percent! Even if the Trump administration eliminated USAID altogether it wouldn’t put much of a dent in the deficit or help control the national debt, is the argument. Everyone from the talking heads at CNN and MSNBC to Jim Geraghty at National Review are repeating this line.
But trimming the federal budget and reducing the deficit aren’t really the point of this exercise. The point is to expose USAID for the left-wing propaganda and regime change operation that it has become, and to shut it down. In the six decades since it was established, USAID has gone from fighting poverty, spreading American ideals, and undercutting Soviet propaganda, to becoming a woke propaganda operation of its own that actively undermines the pillars of western civilization. It’s gone from exporting democracy to exporting deviancy, and now we can all see it.
President Trump this week tasked Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio with a review of the agency’s grants and expenditures, which has already shone a much-needed light on where tens of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are going. My colleague Tristan Justice detailed a handful of some of the most insane projects USAID funds, including “$70,000 for a ‘DEI musical’ in Ireland, $47,000 for a ‘transgender opera’ in Colombia, $32,000 for a ‘transgender comic book’ in Peru, and $1.5 million for an LGBT jobs program in Serbia.” Other projects were to fund electric vehicles in Vietnam, infrastructure in Egypt, meals for Al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria, and internet censorship in the United Kingdom.
Massive Press Scandal As USAID Funding for ‘Politico’ Revealed, and It Gets Worse From There – redstate.com
Things are about to get much worse, though, so buckle up. According to recently revealed records, left-leaning news outlet Politico received over thirty-four million dollars from USAID and other government agencies. That money went to pay for “subscriptions” for various bureaucratic officials, including “pro” subscriptions that add up to over $10,000 a pop.
The Politico scandal is worse than you think.
It’s not $8M that Politico received from USAID.
It’s $34.3M that Politico has received from various swampy federal govt agencies.
Politico is, without a doubt, a totally corrupt propaganda arm of the swamp.
A breakdown of some of the expenditures shows USAID paid $443,998 for just 37 subscriptions to Politico for FDA officials. Another outlay for “subscriptions” cost $862,025.
Politico has never disclosed those payments even as they’ve written pieces covering USAID, posing as unbiased arbiters of truth. That represents one of the biggest scandals in the history of the press. The United States government was funneling money to a left-wing news outlet that has repeatedly done the bidding of the Democratic Party. As an example, you may remember Politico as the same news site that laundered the infamous letter from “51 intelligence officials” saying the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
In other words, it sure looks like the Biden administration was paying a news outlet to do its bidding. Are we supposed to believe it’s just a coincidence that Politico was routinely the go-to for Democratic Party politicians and officials to launder their propaganda?

The last straw for Democratic lawmakers came when Elon Musk’s team of 18 to 25-year-old geniuses pulled back the curtain and exposed the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as little more than a global charity for progressive causes. In a collective frenzy, what looked like the majority of House Democrats along with several senators, converged outside of the Treasury Department building to let their voices be heard.

Trump Rocks Bill Gates as USAID Shakeup Squeezes Out His Foundation– www.westernjournal.com Source Link Excerpt:
Pour one out for poor Bill Gates.
Gates, the Microsoft gazillionaire who has officially taken the leap from “global philanthropist” to “supranational, self-appointed health and climate official,” has been seen using his money and influence on the world stage to peddle ideas like geoengineering to “dim” the sun and cool the planet or push lab-made meat upon us, ostensibly to solve the same problem.
In the latest of his weird Bond villain ideas, Gates’ charity, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, approved a grant to research turning mosquitoes into “flying vaccinators,” a move which, in no way, sounds like something out of the first ten chapters of a Michael Crichton novel, before things go wrong.
Clearly, this is a man who needs access to avenues to distribute money and global reach to export these grand schemes — two things, just coincidentally, that USAID, the government agency currently in the process of being shuttered by the Trump administration, provides his charity.

Employees from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have donated almost entirely to Democrats.
USAID staff made $406,790 in political contributions in the 2024 election cycle, according to data collected on OpenSecrets. While $241,079, more than half of the total, went to Kamala Harris for president, only $999, which is a quarter of a percent, went to Donald Trump. 97% overall, a bit over $377,000, went to Democrats, but only $12,704 went to Republicans.
Political donations of USAID employees over $200 to PACs and candidates were tracked by Open Secrets with data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The numbers above show the rampant political bias at the agency.
UN Chief Panics as Trump Cuts Funding for Globalist Causes– slaynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres is panicking over fears about President Donald Trump’s efforts to prevent American tax dollars from being used to fund foreign organizations advancing a globalist agenda.
In a letter distributed to UN staff, Guterres warns that Trump’s America First policies will create a “difficult challenge” for the unelected international body.
In the letter, Guterres wrote:
“I assure you that we are working closely with colleagues throughout the United Nations system to understand and mitigate the extent of its impact on our operations.
“Now, more than ever, the work of the United Nations is crucial.
“As we face this difficult challenge, your dedication and support will help us to overcome and move forward.
“Together, we will ensure that our Organization continues to serve people in need around the world with unwavering commitment.”
