The alleged gunman charged with slaughtering 10 people at a Colorado supermarket bought a gun a week prior to the shooting — and was caught “playing” with it by a family member, according to new court documents.Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa purchased a Ruger AR-556 pistol on March 16 — six days before going on a deadly rampage at the King Soopers in Boulder, according to an affidavit unsealed Tuesday.His sister-in-law, whose name is redacted, told investigators that she saw Alissa, 21, “playing with a firearm she thought looked like a ‘machine gun'” in the days prior to the shooting, the...

UFOs break the U.S.'s current understanding of the laws of physics, says Elizondo The former UFO program chief at the Pentagon, Luis Elizondo, detailed the three leading theories on where UFOs originated from and the five defining characteristics of UFOs that break the U.S.’s current understanding of the laws of physics. During an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Elizondo, the former Director of ATTIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program) said that the United States government applied the same methodology used in terrorism intel operations in regards to UFO’s and found that they are not only "real," but the information surrounding...

Today’s case in point is the bizarre incident involving a self-proclaimed “future college student,” this person’s Twitter account consisting of two followers when the complaint was tweeted (it’s up to 11 followers as of this writing), a 2019 segment from a Candace Owens show on which Michael Knowles appeared, and Harry’s Razors. The future college student apparently took some time to find a video clip it deemed offensive, then looked for the companies that only later advertised on one of the participants’ shows, and then tweeted to Harry’s Razors about the 2019 video’s supposed offense. Avi Das notified Harry's Razors:...

Why Muslim Politicians Vote For Gay MarriageWhile Islam has receded from the public mind, Islamic ambitions remain intact. President Biden is poised to facilitate those objectives by reviving the Iran nuclear deal.By Maureen Mullarkey By Maureen MullarkeyMarch 22, 2021The chaos of the 2020 election and its aftermath deflected national attention from the standing threat of political Islam. Fanning amnesia is the hallucinogenic drumbeat from Christian churches—Vatican in the lead—about “the religion of peace.”But while Islam has receded from the public mind, Islamic ambitions remain intact. President Biden is poised to facilitate those objectives by reviving the Iran nuclear deal.Pope Francis’...

Francis: Saint Peter's Is Now A Museum, A Ghost Church, A DesertThe brutal suppression of Holy Masses at the 45 side altars of St Peter’s went into force on Monday. The quiet prayers ascending into heaven every morning are no more.Edward Pentin found instead two early concelebrated Eucharists with one and three concelebrants, and the main Mass at 8:30 with eight people in the pews. It was in a chapel behind a curtain.Priests working in the Vatican are “ticked off,” a source told Pentin, “Very few of them are here joining in the concelebrated Masses this morning out of protest...

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear oral argument in Caniglia v. Strom, a case that could have sweeping consequences for policing, due process, and mental health, with the Biden Administration and attorneys general from nine states urging the High Court to uphold warrantless gun confiscation. But what would ultimately become a major Fourth Amendment case began with an elderly couple’s spat over a coffee mug.

The Equality Act, one of the Democrats’ most controversial initiatives, passed the House by a 224-206 vote. It’s now headed to the Senate, where some of the people who will be most affected by it won’t be able to testify in hearings on the bill. As CNS News notes, the bill would modify the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include protections for “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” This includes a whole raft of controversies with it, but the biggest may be what it does to women’s sports. “In practice this would mean, among other things, that transgender ‘females’ (biological males)...

Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece is under fire for presuming the gunman in Monday’s Colorado mass shooting was white — because he was taken into custody alive. “The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago,” Meena Harris wrote in a since-deleted tweet, Fox News reported Tuesday. “VIolent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country,” she wrote.

Since I began covering the spread of critical race theory into public school curriculum, I’ve received one question more than any other: what concrete actions should we be taking to get this stuff out of kids classrooms? This morning, I spoke to Vicki Manning, school board member with the Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS). Vickie has been on the frontlines of the battle against CRT in her district for the past 7 months. Here’s her advice: Show Up First and foremost, Vickie urges parents (and concerned citizens) to attend local school board meetings. “Show up, speak up, and write...

The suspect’s identity was previously known to the F.B.I. because he was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, according to law enforcement officials. When he was a senior at Arvada West High School, Mr. Alissa was convicted in 2018 of misdemeanor assault against another student in a classroom, and told the police at the time that it was in retaliation for insults and ethnic taunts. Fellow students recall him as having a fierce temper that would flare in response to setbacks or slights. Mr. Alissa’s brother described him to the Daily Beast as mentally ill, paranoid and...

We are each of us ultimately responsible only for ourselves and our own actions, yet the degree to which we may be held accountable for the misdeeds of others apparently varies by political party affiliation. On Wednesday, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published on its website what can only be described as a hit piece on Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson in which reporters Molly Beck and Patrick Marley highlighted the fact that Johnson is “taking fire from a liberal group for accepting more than $13,000 from a Washington state business owner who refused to hire Muslims and replied to emailed jokes...

Law enforcement revealed on Tuesday that the Boulder, Colo. mass shooting suspect who targeted a grocery store is 21-year-old Syrian migrant Ahmad Al-Issa. He allegedly murdered 10 people, including one cop, during his rampage. Before the alleged shooter’s identity was even known, Democrats were already on social media jumping to conclusions in order to exploit the tragedy as a libel against all white Americans:

It’s the largest cult that’s ever existed. One year ago, the entire non-thinking population of the planet—the people who walk through life without questioning much, viewing reality through a warped prism distorted by unimpressive cable news anchors of average intellect—banded together to do what they do best: take orders. They’re called the Branch Covidians, and as with all other cultists, it doesn’t matter how many false prophecies are spewed by their leaders. In their own minds, they still manage to justify following the directions of the people in charge. As with any other cult, it’s not that its members can’t...

Under a veil of secrecy, Los Angeles city officials and homeless services providers are rushing to move as many homeless people as possible from Echo Park Lake this week in advance of an expected sweep to remove more than 100 tents and fence the entire park for repairs. City Councilman Mitch O’Farrell, who has said he planned to close the park, has declined to confirm the timetable, but a source with direct knowledge of the process told The Times that the city plans to clear the encampment Thursday, fence the park and close it for renovations. O’Farrell spokesman Tony Arranaga...

he Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) dumped a data “cleanup” on Wednesday that created a dramatic increase in COVID-19 deaths attributed to long-term care facilities (like nursing homes) and removed 2,200 confirmed cases from their COVID-19 case count. Our researchers noticed the change on Wednesday. For the last several months, DHS had reported that around 30% of COVID-19 deaths were attributed to nursing home residents and around 46% of COVID deaths’ housing settings were unknown. Without warning on Wednesday, nursing home deaths jumped from 30% to 45% of the total death count, and deaths with “unknown” housing sharply fell...

Gila Bend, a town near Arizona’s border with Mexico, has a population of only 2,000 people. Mayor Chris Riggs told Fox News he is placing the blame on the Biden administration for transporting illegal immigrants on buses to his town, noting that, particularly due to the ongoing CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, they don’t have the necessary resources to take care of the influx. “Border Patrol let us know that they were going to be dropping migrants that had been detained for 72 hours in our town, which we really didn’t understand because we have nothing here,” Riggs told...

I’ve said, here and elsewhere, that one of the principal benefits of the pandemic is how I’ve been able to exclude racism and whiteness generally from my day-to-day life. Over the past year, I have, of course, still had to interact with white people on Zoom or watch them on television or worry about whether they would succeed in reelecting a white-supremacist president. But white people aren’t in my face all of the time. I can, more or less, only deal with whiteness when I want to. Their cops aren’t hunting me when I drive through my neighborhood; their hang-ups...

Democrats are in power – jihad returns. According to a White House source, Al-Issa “had “ISIS sympathies.” The Democrats will use this to seize guns from law abiding citizens but there will be no hearings on jihadic doctrine or the religious motivation behind the global jihad. The police officer Aliwi killed had seven children.
