A total of 376 law enforcement officers were at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas when a gunman was at large for over an hour on May 24, leaving 21 people dead. A majority of the officers were federal and state actors, including 149 US Border Patrol officers and 91 Texas Department of Public Safety officers. Twenty-five officers were from the Uvalde Police Department, and 16 were from the Uvalde County Sheriff's Office. "They failed to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety," according to an interim report released Sunday by the Texas House investigative committee...

First lady Jill Biden spoke at a private Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser on Saturday… Snip “He’s just had so many things thrown his way,” Jill Biden said while in Nantucket, Mass., the network reported. “Who would have ever thought about what happened [with the Supreme Court overturning] Roe v. Wade? Well, maybe we saw it coming, but still, we didn’t believe it. The gun violence in this country is absolutely appalling. We didn’t see the war in Ukraine coming.” “[The President] had so many hopes and plans for things he wanted to do, but every time you turned around,...

As of early July 2022, 66 percent of the world’s population has been vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccines. Everything has its pros and cons, and vaccines are no exception. As more people are getting vaccinated, reports on adverse events and even side effects continues to emerge. So far, a total of 10 pieces of medical literature have reported cases of newly developed mental illness after the patients were inoculated with the COVID-19 jabs. New Psychiatric Disorders Appeared in Healthy Individuals Following Vaccination A literature review published in May 2022 in Asian Journal of Psychiatry has reviewed 11 cases of psychiatric...

Tucker Carlson, the top-rated Fox News host who has built a following pushing conspiracy theories and lighting into the culture wars, on Friday flirted with a presidential run in his speech to a large gathering of Christian conservative voters in Des Moines, Iowa. Carlson used the event to blast transgender athletes, high energy prices (and wind turbines), make a glancing mention to Jan. 6 (an issue which hasn’t engaged voters on the right), before ultimately pivoting to an attack on corporate America. The speech ultimately focused on the kind of pocketbook issues that have been engaging many voters this year,...

Newton’s Theory of Gravity explains most large-scale events fairly well. ... However, the theory is not foolproof. Einstein’s theories of general and special relativity, for example, explained data that Newton’s theory couldn’t. Scientists still use Newton’s theory because it works in the overwhelming majority of cases and has much simpler equations. Dark matter was proposed as a way to reconcile Newtonian physics with the data. But what if, instead of reconciliation, a modified theory is needed.... Mordehai Milgrom...developed a theory of gravity (called Modified Newtonian Dynamics or “Mond” for short) in 1982 that postulates gravity functions differently when it becomes...

Authorities initially thought Wanda was dead. “I wouldn’t have wagered a nickel for her life that morning,” Jackson County Sheriff Ross Mellinger said Friday, according to WCHS. “She was in that bad of shape. Quite honestly, she was unconscious, circling the drain medically. Massive, massive amounts of head trauma, consistent with some sort of machete or hatchet-type injury.” The case was immediately a mystery. “I had my windows open in my home, and we never heard one thing,” Eileen told WTAP at the time. Mellinger said Friday they originally had little in the way of evidence. They still did not...

If you want to know what passes for contemporary leftist thought, consider tuning in—if you dare—to Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show on Saturday mornings. A good sample of Cross's "wisdom" was on full display this Saturday Highlights: -- Cross doubted whether America can survive as a republic, given that the USA was founded on "stolen land, built with stolen labor." The history of the world, including the pre-Columbian Americas, is one of conquest and slavery. It is the US that has done the most to offer the greatest number life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. -- She agreed: "yeah, yeah!"...

The 18-year-old who massacred 19 students and two teachers in Uvalde on May 24 had no experience with firearms before his rampage began. He targeted an elementary school with an active shooter policy that had been deemed adequate but also a long history of doors propped open. No one was able to stop the gunman from carrying out the deadliest school shooting in Texas history, in part because of “systemic failures and egregious poor decision making” by nearly everyone involved who was in a position of power, a new investigation into the shooting has found. On Sunday, a Texas House...

If you were holding out hope that the media and military analysts predicting the imminent collapse of Russia because of the failed invasion of Ukraine would get a grip on reality, think again. I take the New York Times as the leading indicator of the establishment mindset and the Times published a piece that reveals the delusion and confusion about the war in Ukraine that infects the Washington/New York Swamps.Put simply, the article–Ukraine’s Demands for More Weapons Clash With U.S. Concerns–tacitly concedes Russia is winning but holds out hope for a dramatic Ukrainian come back. Here are the highlights (and...

The Kinks - ‘Lola Versus Powerman’ - a brand new version of the ‘Lola’ track, remastered from the original tapes

Video at https://twitter.com/DeevonRahming/status/1548439171693367301As seems to be the case every time an armed and dangerous criminal is killed by police, the loonies of Antifa, BLM, and Defund-the-Police are out in force to “honor” Tekle Sundberg. He shot at people, threatened people, and was righteously taken out by police snipers. But the “activists” who never consider circumstances before committing to their unhinged protests still showed up to make themselves look like fools. According to KARE11: People gathered Saturday afternoon to honor Andrew ‘Tekle’ Sundberg while demanding more answers after he was shot and killed by law enforcement on Thursday morning.More than 100...

When it comes to the SEC, there are a few hard-and-fast rules you have to remember: don't come to the tailgate empty-handed, don't try to out-crazy the die-hards, don't mention Vanderbilt ... and don't try to saddle the conference with a bro-country song so saccharine and commercial-friendly that it causes cavities. Friday afternoon, the SEC gave some love to a new tune called "Y'all Life," by Walker Hayes. Don't know who Walker Hayes is? He's the guy who brought you the "Fancy Like" song last year that ended up as an Applebee's ad. "Fancy Like" wormed its way into the...

Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek told Breitbart News that her homeland is being used as a “pilot” for the Great Reset agenda. In an interview with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow, Eva Vlaardingerbroek said that countries like Canada and the Netherlands are being used as staging grounds for the World Economic Forum (WEF) and other globalist elites to pursue their radical schemes to transform society. Much like the trucker convoy protests earlier this year in Canada against vaccine passports and other lockdown restrictions, the Dutch government is currently in a battle with farmers, who have used their tractors...

What started as a rally for a man shot and killed by Minneapolis Police quickly took a turn after Arabella Yarbrough, the mother of two nearly hit by bullets while inside her apartment, showed up to share her story on Saturday afternoon.

According to charges, man allegedly raped stepdaughter, 11, with mother's consent so she would seek an abortion, which would then allow them to receive large sum of money from the state to buy an apartment The Lod District Court on Sunday filed an indictment against a couple from central Israel, alleging the man repeatedly raped his minor stepdaughter with her mother's consent in order to impregnate her and then seek an abortion to receive a large sum of money from the state. According to the charges presented in court, the stepfather--whose name was placed under a gag order to protect...

China is preparing to conduct the first test flight of the H-20 long-range strategic stealth bomber. The aircraft, the development of which took a record short period of 6 years, will become the most modern in the world. In all respects, the stealth flying wing will surpass the American analogue of the B-21 Raider, which the Pentagon is so proud of. The Pentagon is proud, but has already lost the arms race to China Chinese military engineers began developing the H-20 bomber in 2016, Air Force Commander Ma Xiaotian officially announced this at an aviation forum in Changchun. The project...

CNN — U.S. health officials have been in active discussions with the Food and Drug Administration on whether the agency will authorize a second booster vaccine for Americans under 50 years old, the nation's top infectious disease expert shared Saturday. "Hopefully we'll get an answer reasonably soon," Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN's Laura Coates. Advertisement Second boosters have been authorized for U.S. adults 50 and up, as well as certain people with weakened immune systems, since March. But for anyone under the age of 50, only one booster is authorized. Fauci's comments come amid a worrisome time in the pandemic...

People gathered outside the Minneapolis apartment Saturday where 20-year-old Andrew ‘Tekle’ Sundberg was shot and killed by Minneapolis police. Demonstrators joined family members as they demanded more answers from law enforcement. Two Minneapolis police snipers shot and killed Sundberg Thursday morning following a 6-hour long standoff. The BCA, the top law enforcement agency in the state, is investigating the deadly use of police force. It still remains unclear what exactly prompted the officers to shoot. According to investigators, Sundberg fired multiple gunshots inside the Seward neighborhood apartment building Wednesday night, and a neighbor, Arabella Yarbrough, called 911 saying a bullet...

The pay is low. The prestige is falling. The housing is often dilapidated and roach-infested. You move around a lot and your children constantly have to say 'goodbye' to their friends. The wars are lost and the border stands unguarded from invaders. The indoctrination is pure wokesterism, advising you that you're the bad guy and the flag you serve under is worth taking a knee. You take a vaccine known to harm young people, or else. You shower with unreconstructed transgender individuals. You watch as your highly bemedaled top commander doesn't bother with basic military fitness regulations required of you....
