Body-camera footage captures the terrifying moment a convicted felon attempts to execute a police officer inside a Walmart loss-prevention room A violent felon was caught on camera attempting to shoot a police officer in the head while inside a Walmart loss prevention room.

The incident unfolded around 1:45 p.m. Thursday at a Walmart on Atlantic Boulevard NE in Canton, Ohio, FOX10 reported. An officer with the Canton Police Department responded to a shoplifting call and escorted...

Guest post by Bob Cushman Once in a while, a reporter finds a story that challenges his or her ability to tell because it is so massive in terms of time and scope. He or she feels over-whelmed. This reporter feels that way, but let’s begin anyway. This story will attempt to show the reader the journey that this reporter has been on to discover what is most likely one of the largest money laundering evolutions in the history of this country. First Indications of Massive Money Laundering – 2019

Senator Eric Schmitt delivered an absolute demolition of a clueless reporter on Tuesday after she tried—and failed spectacularly—to equate narco-terrorist drug-running vessels as harmless “fishing boats.” What followed was a brutal reality check that the fake news media desperately needed. While Democrats obsess over protecting cartel operatives and criticizing U.S. interventions, Schmitt made clear the only victims in this story are American families burying loved ones poisoned by fentanyl. The exchange was filmed by Caden Olson, a congressional reporter for the Daily Caller News Foundation. Reporter: If you can seize a tanker without killing anyone, shouldn’t that… If you can...

Donald Trump Jr. made some not so surprising allegations against Ukraine at the Doha Forum in December. Donald Trump, Jr. recently made some noise about the ongoing Ukrainian War with Russia. Earlier this month Don Jr. unloaded on Ukrainian aid, telling fitness trainer and author, Jillian Michaels, that when he went to Monaco with his girlfriend, half of the super cars he saw on the street had Ukrainian plates. Via Chief Nerd. 🚨 Don Jr Goes Off on the Ukraine War“I was actually in Monaco earlier this summer … and every other car there was an Italian supercar, like a...

Why is this demon still working at the DOJ? Why was she not cut loose? Why is she not being prosecuted? Jocelyn Ballantine was one of the Department of Justice attorneys assigned to Michael Flynn’s prosecution. The Department admitted altering evidence in the case following a reprimand from the judge. She called this an inadvertent mistake at the time. Ballantine also provided altered documents to Sidney Powell, and submitted an FBI interview report with redactions to information that was crucial to the case, according to En-Wikipedia. When the US government threw out the case against General Flynn, Ballantine declined to...

West Virginia National Guardsman Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, 24, has begun responding to nurses after surviving a brutal ambush just blocks from the White House. The attack, carried out by an Afghan national who entered the United States under the Biden regime’s mass-entry refugee program, left Wolfe in critical condition and his fellow Guardswoman Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, dead. During a press conference Monday, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced that Wolfe, though still in serious condition, showed the first encouraging signs of neurological responsiveness. Gov. Patrick Morrisey: “I want to say I’m not the doctor; I’m not going to...

President Donald Trump obliterated a so-called “reporter” who dared to question why he holds Joe Biden responsible for allowing the Afghan terrorist, who ambushed two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., into the United States, which left a member of the West Virginia National Guard dead and another in critical condition. The exchange happened during a press gaggle that quickly turned into a masterclass in how to handle the corrupt press. The reporter had the audacity to ask: “Why do you blame the Biden administration?” As if it’s not crystal clear that Crooked Joe’s bungled withdrawal flooded our country with...

Seth Rich Attorney Ty Clevenger fired off a blistering letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel back in April, accusing the FBI of flagrantly concealing critical records about the late DNC staffer Seth Rich and the now-discredited Russia collusion narrative. Seth Rich was murdered in the summer of 2016 before the release of the Hillary Clinton emails. His death has never been explained. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange suggested it was Rich who provided the Hillary-DNC emails to his organization and NOT Russia. In February 2024, Clevenger demanded that the FBI hand over the Seth Rich documents...

It all begins and ends with Tina Peters. What they have done to Tina is reflective of what they will do to all Americans if we don’t listen to her and end the corruption she exposed in our election system. Without honest and transparent elections in the 2026 Midterms and 2028 Presidential, America as we knew it will be done. Tina Peters exposed the Color Revolution’s most crucial tool of stolen elections, solely intended to destroy America from within. Unfortunately, the best America could do to reward her was to send her to a likely death sentence of 9 years...

Eric Swalwell made a point of positioning himself as a high-profile Donald Trump critic and moral authority, appearing almost nightly on left-leaning TV shows for years. However, scandal also followed him, from his alleged ties to the Chinese spy “Fang Fang” to his removal from the House Intelligence Committee over national security concerns, to his infamous on-air mishap during a 2019 interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews. Apparently, Eric Swalwell’s public scandals didn’t come out of thin air. They were foreshadowed in his comedic and confused 2010 “Summary Dissolution” public divorce agreement with his first wife, Melissa Jane Maranda. It...

In yet another blow to immigration enforcement, a federal judge in Illinois is reportedly preparing to order the mass release of thousands of illegal aliens detained during ICE’s “Operation Blitz,” a nationwide crackdown on criminal and repeat immigration violators. According to ABC7 Chicago, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings, a Biden appointee, is weighing whether to grant what’s called “equitable relief” that could see federal immigration authorities forced to release thousands of detainees into so-called “alternatives to detention” programs, ankle monitors, smartphone check-ins, and other ineffective tracking methods widely criticized as loopholes by law enforcement officers. The case stems from the...

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) objected twice to Senator John Kennedy’s (R-LA) proposals that would have blocked members of Congress from receiving pay during the ongoing government shutdown, legislation Kennedy says is necessary to make lawmakers feel the same pain as the Americans affected by Washington’s dysfunction. Paul, reserving the right to object, said the focus should be on re-opening government and paying those who are working, not punishing members of Congress. Paul argued that withholding pay from lawmakers distracts from the larger problem of bureaucratic dysfunction and the unfair treatment of federal workers who are continuing their duties during the...

House Speaker Mike Johnson erupted in frustration Thursday after learning that Democrat-led states filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for attempting to determine how many illegal aliens are receiving taxpayer-funded welfare benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). At a press conference alongside USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, Johnson blasted Senate Democrats for prioritizing “political theater” over feeding American families as the government shutdown stretched into its 31st day. “They sued the USDA for asking them, simply asking them to tell them how many illegal aliens are on the programs in California, New York, and these...

Tyler Maxon Avalos from FBI affidavit (Screenshot: Tampa Free Press) An assassination threat against U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has led to the arrest of a 30-year-old Minnesota man, after federal agents tracked a murder-for-hire TikTok post that offered $45,000 for her death. According to the Tampa Free Press, the suspect, Tyler Maxon Avalos of St. Paul, Minnesota, is facing federal charges for Interstate Transmission of a Threat to Injure the Person of Another, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 875(c). The investigation began on October 9, 2025, when a Detroit-based TikTok user reported a chilling video to the FBI’s...

Sen. John Fetterman calls on Republicans to “nuke the filibuster” during a Fox News interview, arguing the Senate should eliminate its own power to halt spending bills. ======================================================================== Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania called on Republicans to “nuke the filibuster” when it comes to government funding votes, effectively stripping the upper chamber of its own power to halt federal spending. During an interview with Kayleigh McEnany, Fetterman argued that the Senate should carve out an exception to the filibuster rule for budget and appropriations bills, saying that doing so would make it “almost impossible” for either party to force...

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Trump-appointed Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), just dropped a bombshell on national television, exposing over one BILLION dollars in fraudulent healthcare spending for illegal immigrants. Appearing on Mornings with Maria on Friday, Oz revealed that his agency uncovered billions of taxpayer dollars funneled to illegal aliens in Democrat-run states, a direct violation of federal law. “Maria, just in the last few months, in the few states that we’ve examined—less than half a dozen—we’ve identified more than a billion dollars, with a B, of federal tax dollars that have gone to illegal...

General Flynn is on top of this. He hints today that former Vice President Mike Pence was not what he claimed to be. We reported on Mike Pence extensively before and after Jan 6, the day that Pence showed his true colors and went down in history as a Brutus. We wrote: Former Vice President Mike Pence was chosen by then-candidate Trump during the 2016 primaries. He came across as a quiet and mild-mannered Christian man from the Midwest who loved his country. What we didn’t know back then was what lay beneath that facade. We learned while President Trump...

A Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) teacher is under fire after shocking allegations surfaced that she labeled a third-grade student an “extremist” and coordinated with a neighbor to spy on him outside of school. Even more disturbing, this is the same teacher who reportedly celebrated the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on social media. In a heartbreaking video testimony shared by Libs of TikTok, a third grader shared his disturbing experience with Donna Javinett, a 3rd-grade teacher at Anasazi Elementary School: “I was a third grader at Anasazi, but in a different class than Mrs. Donna Javinett....

SNIPRFK Jr.:“I mean, that individual actually came to my attention early on during the measles outbreak. I promised Governor Abbott to send badly needed money and help down to Texas.And this individual blocked that money for a month. I couldn’t figure out what was happening. I gave the order. I’m running this agency. How come nothing’s happening?Then we tried to get the Vaccine Safety Data Link — the data the CDC supposedly uses to make good decisions on whether vaccines are hurting people and whether there are side effects. For seven months, he stonewalled us so we could not get...

With a shutdown looming, President Trump has backed Democrats into a corner – And now he’s openly mocking them in their bitter defeat. After their meeting today in the White House, Democrat leaders Minority leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority leader Hakeem Jefferies stopped to whine to liberal reporters. Someone took the video and rewrote the lines with what Schumer really meant to say. And President Trump tweeted this out on his Twitter page! Chuck Schumer: Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans...
