A 2017 local TV news segment featuring a man identified as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect has resurfaced online in the wake of the incident. The clip, from ABC7 Los Angeles (KABC), shows a young Cole Allen — described as a Caltech student at the time — demonstrating a prototype wheelchair emergency brake at a tech conference focused on helping seniors. “The wheelchair brakes tend to lock the wheels, but don’t lock the chair to the ground. But with this device, that will prevent the chair from skidding at all,” Allen said in the segment. The report aired...

Spectrum: A new proposal asked the FCC to clear out a large block of UHF broadcast spectrum -- a move that could force more than 40% of U.S. TV stations to relocate. In an April 15 petition, a group called Landover Saturn 5 LLC urged the FCC to open a rulemaking that would repurpose Channels 28 -- 36, or 554 -- 608 MHz, for flexible wireless use aimed at future 6G services. The plan dropped just three days before the start of the National Association of Broadcasters' annual convention in Las Vegas. The company -- which said "it has the...

As I’ve often written, Democrats are infernal masters at manipulating language, at making policies and ideas utterly destructive to our constitutional, representative republic, seem benign, even beneficial. To that end, they avoid identifying the true nature of our republic like vampires shun sunlight. Instead, they call America “our democracy,” which our system of government is manifestly not. SNIP That will not stop Democrats, and we know because they keep explicitly telling us exactly what they plan to do to us. Should Carville’s plans come to fruition, Americans will have the choice of submission or civil war, which will ultimately not...

A bad week for Iran, the SPLC, and the Left in general. hat description comes from Chamath Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist, and relates to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which was just indicted by a federal grand jury in Alabama. The SPLC was formed years ago to seek damages for KKK victims. Over the years, it amassed a fortune and used it and its connections with the media and the Democrats unfairly to tar and ruin the livelihoods and reputations of individuals and organizations with which it disagreed -- including groups like Moms for Liberty and Parents Defending Education....

Greetings from Ukraine, where, notwithstanding constant Russian bombardment through till morning, it's still safer than a Saturday night out in DC. Immediately following the excitement at the White House Correspondents Shoot-Out, the Director of the Secret Service, Sean Curran, stepped to the microphone and said: Tonight, we saw exactly what our brave men and women do each and every day. Yeah, you can say that again - and probably will, in late spring, early summer or so. Butler, Pennsylvania... West Palm Beach, Florida... Washington, DC... A famous line of Ian Fleming's seems more germane: Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhfp0NhNROk This is the best explanation of Shiite vs Sunni. He explains how Sunnis see Shiite as a heresy due to elevating a few Shiite "heroes" to the same status as Muhammad, the final prophet. See at least the first 10 minutes where he explains the ideology of the apocalyptic Shiites that govern Iran IRGC included.

While the left is politely voicing shock about last night’s attempted assassination, their rhetoric for the past ten years has inevitably encouraged the crazies. Prominent voices on the left have been branding their opponents as Nazis, “literally Hitler,” pedophiles, or “a threat to democracy.” This inflammatory language dehumanizes entire groups, paints targets on people’s backs, erodes civil discourse, and creates a climate where violence is viewed as justifiable. When rhetoric escalates to open calls for harm, the consequences are deadly: attempted assassinations of President Trump, the 2017 shooting of Republican congressmen at baseball practice, the murder of Charlie Kirk, and...

Sorry, no body of thread. Just a question from the media. Enough lies from the democrats, deep state, and the media would be my answer.

When I was growing up, the Pres and VP were not in the same room together in case of assassination attempt. Then it seemed to become okay, as long as the Speaker of the House wasn't there at the same time as the Pres & VP.. Last night, all 3 were in the same room. That would have left a 92 yr old Sen. Grassley in charge. I wonder if he would have taken the oath & quickly passed the baton to Rubio, who is next in line? What ever happened to the line of succession rules (protocol) of the...

Rep. Thomas Massie, the renegade Kentucky Republican who fiercely guards his political independence, doesn’t love being on President Trump’s bad side. He would prefer not to have the president’s allies spend millions to defeat him in a primary. In fact, if Massie had his way, he’d be working for Trump right now. In his telling, in the weeks after the 2024 presidential election, the two men talked about Massie, a farmer who champions raw milk, becoming Trump’s agriculture secretary. Massie had formally endorsed Trump late in the campaign, offering to help him win over libertarians who might be tempted to...

CBN.com - Addison Adamu grew up in a strict Muslim family in Ghana. “We were taught and trained that once born a Muslim, you are always a Muslim,” remembers Addison. “I used to follow my father to the mosque five times a day.”Addison never seriously questioned the rituals of his family’s faith until a friend at school showed him a Bible.“I didn’t want to read the Bible because if I’m caught, it will be another story,” says Addison. “It’s like the highest degree of crime to convert from Islam to Christianity. He told me that God is love. It’s not...

Donald and Melania Trump entered the hall at 8:16 to cheers and applause. “Hail to the Chief” was followed by presentation of the colors and the National Anthem. We had a brief introduction from Weijia Jiang, this year’s president of the White House Correspondents Association, followed by dinner. Two questions hovered in the background. One, how would President Trump treat the press? And two, would he, as had many presidents in the past at this event, treat the audience to a little self-deprecating humor? “Donald Trump” and “self-deprecation” are not words you often hear together, but who knows? The President...
