The man accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another went to the homes of two other lawmakers to carry out more carnage on the night of the shootings, a federal prosecutor said. But one of the other lawmakers wasn't home, and the suspect left the other house after police arrived, said acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson. Vance Boelter surrendered to police Sunday after they found him in the woods near his home following a massive manhunt that began early Saturday near Minneapolis. "Boelter planned his attack carefully" by researching his intended victims and their families and conducting surveillance...

There are at least a few intelligent subversives leading the charge at the LA riots. The organizers of this chaos appear to have realized that waving Mexican flags as if you're a conquistador claiming Los Angeles as part of Mexico was not a good look. So now they're handing American flags to protesters as a way to rehabilitate their image. This comes after days of footage showing them waving Mexican flags while torching cars, attacking police and burning U.S. flags. It's clear they realized the current optics were a disaster — now they're intentionally using American Flags in an attempt...

A hate-fueled madman launched a “targeted terror attack’’ in Colorado on Sunday — setting at least one woman on fire and injuring eight total as he screamed “Free Palestine” and used a “makeshift flamethrower” and Molotov cocktails against a crowd commemorating Israeli hostages still in Gaza, officials said. Video footage captured the alleged attacker — whom FBI officials identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman — in the middle of a tirade about Palestine and calling for death to “Zionists” before he tossed the homemade incendiary devices. “They are killers! How many children you killed?” shouted the shirtless man, who was reportedly...

A claim by the Russian Defence Ministry that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin was "in the epicentre of a drone attack" has turned out to be a staged performance by the Kremlin. Russian state media claimed earlier this week that when Putin visited Kursk Oblast for the first time since the hostilities began in the area, his helicopter came "under fire from Ukrainian drones". In reality, this was not a combat incident but a meticulously staged event. Four sources within the government and the Kremlin told The Moscow Times that security officials promoted this shocking and "risky" episode in the media...

Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces shot down 296 Ukrainian drones over 12 regions -- including the capital Moscow -- during the latest round of long-range strikes.

The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the organization as “a white nationalist hate group” to make conservatives seem radical. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, charges were dropped against the Patriot Front group leader in Idaho after 22 duped recruits were found guilty in court. In June 2022, 31 members of the Patriot Front group were arrested in Idaho for planning a protest at the Gay Pride rally. They were traveling to a gay pride event with homemade shields in the back of a U-Haul. They had no other weapons. Despite committing no violence, they were arrested because they possibly...

Poland's foreign minister says his country has evidence that Russia recruited people on the Telegram messaging service to carry out last year's massive shopping centre fire in Warsaw. Speaking to the BBC in an exclusive interview, Radek Sikorski said Moscow's actions were "completely unacceptable" and that a second Russian consulate in Poland had been closed as a result. His comments come after a Polish investigation concluded that the Marywilska shopping centre fire was orchestrated by Moscow's intelligence services. Russia denied its involvement, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accusing Poland of being "Russophobic".

WARSAW, Poland (AP) – A massive fire that destroyed a large shopping center in Warsaw last year was the result of arson ordered by Russian intelligence services, Polish officials said Sunday on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the blaze.

Many of the vendors were from Vietnam, and it inflicted tragedy on many in Warsaw’s Vietnamese community. “We now know for certain that the massive fire on Marywilska was the result of arson commissioned by Russian services,” Prime Minister...

Amaral said after investigating, his office determined there was not enough evidence to support a criminal charge that would lead to a conviction in a criminal court. “The decision was made to not file...

State Democratic lawmakers are trying to pump the brakes on the Hochul administration’s “nearly impossible” green-energy rule requiring more new large trucks to be emissions-free. The proposal, pushed by state Sen. Jeremy Coney Cooney (D-Rochester) and Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo (D-Binghamton), would postpone the start of the Democratic governor’s edict until at least Jan. 1, 2027. Hochul’s recent “Advanced Clean Trucks” rule requires manufacturers of vehicles greater than 8,500 pounds to sell an increasing number of zero-emission vehicles in New York, starting with a 7% zero emissions sales percentage in 2025 and ramping up every model year through 2035, to 40%...
