Members of the anti-Israel lobby have staged yet another insurrection at the United States Capitol building. Pro-Hamas activists flooded the rotunda led by Linda Sarsour, a far-leftist agitator, to call for a ceasefire in the war in Gaza. The incident was reminiscent of an earlier insurrection held by anti-Israel elements in October.Police arrested “roughly 60” anti-Israel protesters inside the Capitol Rotunda Tuesday after a group led by controversial activist Linda Sarsour staged an illegal rally in the iconic venue.“Not another nickel! Not another dime! No more money for Israel’s crimes!” chanted members of the group, holding “Stop Arming Israel” signs.It...

Given Sarsour’s record – supporting antisemite Louis Farrakhan, invoking “Jewish supremacy,” saying Zionists cannot be feminists, and supporting Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh, this is an accurate representation of her views. Beyond that, she has publicly praised a misogynist and anti-gay Muslim cleric, Imam Siraj Wahhaj, as her mentor.

A transgender woman has been charged with making threats after she allegedly vowed to murder and sexually assault schoolchildren. Alexia Willie has been charged with 14 felony counts of interstate communication of a threat to injure, court records show, including one in which she referenced the March 2023 shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. In videos and streams online, Willie threatened to repeat the actions of Aiden Hale, a former pupil at the school and transgender man who shot and killed three nine-year-old children and three staff members. According to court filings made on November 7, Willie made...

President of the National Assocation of Police Officers and Boston Police Officer Thomas Nee is a member of Vice President Joe Biden's gun control task force, which was created by President Obama in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Nee's son, Joseph Nee, was convicted in 2008 for planning to commit mass murder of students and teachers at Marshfield High School in Massachusetts, similar to that of Columbine in 1999. After spending nine months in prison, Nee's conviction was upheld by the Supreme Judicial Court. Nee told police the plan involved taking ammunition and explosive devices into...

Perspective matters, but it’s not difficult to have one’s perspective skewed horribly. All that needs to happen is to have something presented often enough as a massive issue of epic scale and you’ll likely believe it to be so absent anyone showing otherwise. Take mass shootings, as an example. Sure, they’re awful, but many like to pretend they’re the biggest threat to life we have. We simply need to upend our entire lives, forfeit our rights, and anything else demanded because if not, our kids are going to be gunned down. Yet a report trying to pin mass shootings on...

there are three kinds of people in the world: “wolves, sheep, and sheepdogs.” "If you have no capacity for violence, then you are a healthy, productive citizen: a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath — a wolf. But, what if you have a capacity for violence and a deep love for your fellow citizens? Then you are a sheepdog, protecting the sheep from the wolf." in all the recent and previous slaughter of children (the sheep) in schools by one shooter (the wolf), there...

"Fact check: He threatened to shoot up his middle school and stab classmates who angered him," tweeted Christina Pushaw ************************************************************* On Thursday, the Miami Herald published a misleading claim about the recent arrest of the 13-year-old son of Rebekah Jones, the disgraced "whistleblower" who claimed the Florida Department of Health pressured her to manipulate Covid data to the benefit of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and the outlet said that the child was arrested over "memes" when he was arrested for threatening to shoot up his school, Holley Navarre Middle School. According to Yahoo News, the boy was arrested for "digital...

19 school children were killed in the Uvalde, TX mass shooting on May 24th. In the weeks since, parents are thinking about different options than just the brick and mortar school buildings, terrified about their children's safety and the thought of them dying inside of a classroom. "We want to protect our kids and no parent wants to see their children hurt," said Courtney Nalan, an Evansville mom who homeschools. "We've had a big increase in the number of people asking about home schooling," said Theresa Slinkard, another Evansville mom who home schools. 169 students and adults have died in...

It’s a standard pattern. After a horror like the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting, pundits, journalists and politicians come forward to say that the event is evidence of some deep moral failure, a flaw in America’s soul. Predictably enough, of course, they then preach that salvation can only come by doing what they want. But when the facts come in, it invariably turns out that the tragedy doesn’t stem from a spiritual failing in America but rather from the fact that some (most?) of our institutions are run by creeps, crooks and incompetents. We’ve learned that a door was propped open...

The Naval Postgraduate School‘s Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS), in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), maintains a K-12 school shooting database project as part of their Advanced Thinking in Homeland Security program. They found the need for accurate, detailed information on this subject was paramount to campus safety.The database documents every instance a gun is brandished, fired, or a bullet hits school property for any reason, regardless of the number of victims, time, day of the week, or reason. You can find the entire database here but we will highlight some of the important findings...

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala,) is absolutely opposed to any new restrictions on guns — even regarding military-style assault weapons — because people need them to “take back” our government, he explained on Fox News Sunday. Such action should only be undertaken in the event America becomes “dictatorial,” Brooks told host Sandra Smith. “Oh, no, that’s wrong. That is absolutely false,” said Brooks, before Smith corrected him yet again. Brooks claims the whole idea of the Second Amendment was to arm citizens to take over the country if need be — and that not having enough guns will spark the appetite...

An 18-year-old Florida man has been arrested for “threatening to conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism.” Corey Anderson, 18, of Lutz, had posted images of himself with what appeared to be a handgun, a rifle, and a tactical style vest — along with the caption “Hey Siri, directions to the nearest school.” He was arrested at his home on Sunday after someone called in a tip to law enforcement. After further investigation, detectives from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office determined the handgun and rifle were “airsoft guns,” according to a press release. “This type of threat is unacceptable....

he Donna Police Department in Texas on Thursday arrested four males, including two juveniles, in connection to threats made against a Donna school, according to local reports.

VALDE, Texas — The school lockdowns across Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday didn’t strike many students as anything odd. In this small border town, they’re common as suspects try to evade authorities in high speed chases. “We just thought it was a normal Tuesday,” Victoria Phillips, a 17-year-old senior at Uvalde Classical Academy, told BuzzFeed News. Of course, it wasn’t. The reason for the lockdowns quickly became clear: an 18-year-old gunman had entered Robb Elementary in Uvalde, where he ended up fatally shooting 19 students and two adults. The town’s mayor, Don McLaughlin, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson just days...

For many people, the Uvalde, Texas, mass shooting—which claimed the lives of at least 19 children and two adults—seemed all the more horrible after they learned it was the 27th school shooting so far this year. That fact makes it harder to view Uvalde as any kind of isolated incident. An NPR article highlighting this statistic has been shared frequently on social media. The headline, "27 school shootings have taken place so far this year," probably gave many readers the impression that gun-related killings in schools have been especially high this year, even before Uvalde. Naturally, the prospect of 26...

While not naming mass shooters may seem, at least on the surface, to be a moral or ethical decision, the reality is that it has become a practical one. Perpetrators of these heinous attacks are telling us that they are committing these acts in such a public manner in order to gain fame and notoriety. The Parkland shooter, for example, stated in his video made before going into the school that the body count he planned to amass was going to put him on the news and make him a household name. The shooter at a mall in Omaha, NE...

A bill limiting the way schools can conduct active shooter lockdown drills was signed into law on Thursday by Gov. Jay Inslee. HB 1941 makes it so that schools in Washington cannot conduct drills involving “live simulations or reenactments of active shooter scenarios that are not trauma-informed and age and developmentally appropriate.” That means that students, teachers, and school staff must be alerted to any drills related to school shooting safety beforehand and that drills cannot directly mimic the presence of a shooter on school grounds, instead, focusing on basic lockdown procedures. The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Amy Walen, points...

Appearing on Newsmax TV with host Grant Stinchfield, Andrew Pollack, father of Parkland victim Meadow Pollack, blasted Joe Biden’s exploitation of the third anniversary of the Parkland shooting to push draconian gun control regulations that amount to a virtual repeal of the Second Amendment, saying none of Biden’s plans would have prevented the mass shooting tragedy at Meadow’s school and that “Biden’s wishes are a lie.” Andrew Pollack is the author of “Why Meadow Died: The People and Policies That Created the Parkland Shooter and Endanger America’s Students”. Meadow was his daughter, who was killed during a school shooting on...
