  • From 100+ Felonies To ‘Rally Against Rednecks’: Zul Mohamed’s Latest Frisco Stunt

    Dallas Express ^ | 06/01/2026 | Joe Edwards
    A Facebook post promoting an event dubbed the “Rally Against Rednecks” is raising eyebrows. The post, published by mayoral candidate Zul Mohamed, advertises a rally at Frisco City Hall scheduled for 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 2. The flyer describes the event as “an evening dedicated to celebrating the contributions of our local Asian community,” while also calling on attendees to confront what it calls “spreading lies.” The post uses inflammatory language to characterize critics of the Asian community, referring to any “opponents” as “trailer-park trash yokels” and “low-class people.” The graphics accompanying the post feature crossed-out cartoon illustrations of...

  • Ken Paxton : The Republican establishment spent $150 million against me

    AG KEN PAXTON (R): The Republican establishment spent $150 million against me, a Republican. That money could have gone to Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Maine, somewhere it actually helps us hold the majority. Instead, it's being spent to protect an incumbent who's had 24 years in the Senate. Let John Cornyn stand on his own! Let Texas voters decide instead of Washington trying to influence it and mislead people about my record! @KenPaxtonTX
  • Fayetteville, NC: Man Arrested for Spray-Painting Swastikas Across Multiple Properties — But He Doesn’t Match the Media’s Favorite Storyline

    Another day, another “hate crime” that doesn’t fit the script the media loves to push. Taquon Jameek Vereen, a black man, was arrested in Fayetteville, North Carolina, for spray-painting swastikas on multiple properties. Police say he’s responsible for the vandalism that had the usual suspects immediately blaming white supremacists and “MAGA extremism.” Instead, the suspect is black. Once again, the narrative collapses the second the facts come out.

    A Hopkins County, Texas, homeowner spotted a would-be intruder via a Ring camera Tuesday and shot him as the suspect was allegedly reaching into the house via a broken window in the door. CBS 19 reported that the homeowner watched the man, Buck Clary, via the Ring camera. KETK noted that the Sheriff indicated the camera video allegedly showed Clary hitting the front door “and screaming.” Clary then broke a glass in the door and reached inside the house, which is when the homeowner shot through the door.

    The Cook County judge who released a repeat violent felon with four pending felony cases on electronic monitoring last December, the same felon prosecutors now say escaped that monitoring and shot two Chicago police officers, killing one over the weekend, acknowledged during the hearing that the defendant likely would have faced “a minimum $1 million bail” under the state’s old cash bail system. But Judge John Lyke said that era was over. alley’s public defender, Lauren Widdowson, countered that he had changed while in custody. “He’s completed eight courses,” she said. “Particularly, he has completed the Rewired Program, Anger Management,...

    A man suspected of shooting two Chicago police officers inside a hospital room Saturday morning had been a fugitive for weeks, had two violent felony cases pending against him, had escaped from electronic monitoring, and was listed as an absconder by the Illinois Department of Corrections, according to court records and multiple government sources. The officers were standing guard over the man at Swedish Hospital, 5140 North California Avenue, when he gained access to a gun and shot them around 10:50 a.m., CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling said.

    Springfield, Illinois is feeling a lot like Chicago these days. Of course is probably because a woman on Mayor Brandon Johnsons staff is also an alderwoman on the Springfield City Council. WOW, sure seems like Brandon Johnsons Great hate for Law Enforcement is appearing in Springfield Through osmosis I guess. Lakesha Purchase, an alderwoman complains and whines and cries about her safety, when the rest of the leftists attack law enforcement and others on line, well she has nothing to say about that. Black fatigue is real.

    As Blue Origin prepares for the next launch of its New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral, the company appears to have experienced unexpected damage at its rocket manufacturing facility in Merritt Island, Florida.Photos posted to social media show a damaged roof to what is know as the 2CAT facility, a vertical building used for tank cleaning and testing on the rocket's second stages. It's a smaller building more toward the rear of the campus than the towering, 224-foot-tall building used to test the first stages, that can be seen for miles around the site...It's one the many buildings at the...

    For years, two sets of chimpanzees lived as one in Uganda’s Kibale National Park — grooming, interacting and patrolling their territory in a cohesive community.Then suddenly, one set charged the other, touching off yearslong bloodshed that researchers are comparing to a human civil war.“It was just chaos,” said John Mitani, a professor emeritus in anthropology at the University of Michigan who had been following the chimpanzees for two decades when the violence began in 2015. “They started to scream, shout, chase each other.”For three years after the outbreak, Mitani and his collaborator, Aaron Sandel, an associate professor of anthropology at...

    No power here in eastern Honolulu. Out all night and continuing this morning. High winds took off part of our plastic lanai roof, uprooted tree in front yard which is currently covering sidewalk. Cable box cover torn off and blown into front yard. You'd think a hurricane came through. No ETA of power return. Ah! Life in paradise.
