  • Student brings gun on school field trip, shoots self in front of classmates

    09/26/2025 4:45:04 PM PDT · by jacknhoo · 174 replies
    OREM, Utah (KSL) – Students from a school in Utah are traumatized after a classmate brought a gun on a field trip and shot themselves in front of others. Police said the ninth grader from Canyon View Junior High shot themselves while on a field trip at South Fork Park. That student was flown to a local hospital, where they died. KSL does not normally report on suicides, but because the student brought a gun to school and fired it in front of other students, it brings it to another level. A group of ninth grade students put up a...
  • Controlling Islamic-lobby OIC’s Cowardly UN Walkout: An Affront to Truth, Peace, and Israel’s Moral Clarity

    The orchestrated walkout by the Islamic-lobby-dominated Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address at the United Nations was not just a diplomatic stunt—it was a blatant act of intellectual cowardice and a disgraceful betrayal of the UN’s core principles. While Israel stood on the global stage advocating for peace, coexistence, and the fundamental right to self-defense, OIC nations chose petulance over dialogue. This wasn't a protest—it was a refusal to hear the truth. Their exit marked yet another example of the Islamic bloc’s long-standing strategy: silence Israeli voices rather than engage with them, smear Israel rather...

    Behar: "It's funny, under Obama and Biden it was working. All of a sudden it's not working. Gee, what happened?!" ... Cohost Ana Navarro claimed that Trump had only gotten reelected in 2024 because he’d been out of office for four years, and in that time, people “had forgotten how bad Trump was. I think it meant a lot to people in 2020 when Joe Biden was first running because we were just surviving that first Trump term.”

    An Oregon firefighter is back home after spending nearly a month in immigration detention following his arrest while battling an active blaze, his legal team confirmed on Thursday. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released Rigoberto Hernandez, 23, from the Northwest ICE Processing Center following intervention from immigration attorneys and a federal lawsuit, according to court documents obtained by ABC News. Hernandez was detained on Aug. 27 while working to contain the Bear Gulch Fire, documents show. Border Patrol agents, working alongside Bureau of Land Management officers, conducted immigration checks within a restricted emergency zone, his attorneys said. Legal representatives at...

    The Trump administration is warning migrant sponsors to take financial responsibility for them or expect to be slapped with steep fines, lawsuits, or even prosecution. American citizens who sponsor migrants that end up using taxpayer-funded benefits like food stamps or housing assistance will be held financially liable and could even face criminal charges, according to a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The announcement, which is intended for all migrant sponsors across the country, marks the latest policy crackdown by the Trump administration. “It is crucial for sponsors and aliens to meet...

    It has been a while since we have checked in on polar ice. I’m sure you remember the hysteria of a few years ago–Arctic sea ice is melting! Al Gore predicted, in 2009, that the Arctic would be “completely ice-free” by 2014. Far from having disappeared, there are still 1.8 million square miles of ice floating in the Arctic Ocean. The annual Arctic sea ice minimum has arrived once again, and as usual, it provides far less drama than the media headlines would suggest. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), Arctic sea ice extent bottomed out...

  • MSNBC’s O’Leary: ICE Needs to Change Policies, Tactics or There’ll Be More Violence

    On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” MSNBC Security and Intelligence Analyst Christopher O’Leary discussed the shooting at an ICE facility in Texas and said that while people should tone down their rhetoric, “you also have to start looking at what policies you’ve implemented and what tactics you’re using, because, if you tone down the rhetoric, but you leave those other pieces in place, nothing’s going to change.”

    The sister of deranged Dallas ICE sniper Joshua Jahn, who killed one migrant detainee and wounded two others Wednesday, has a long criminal history — including one charge that mirrors her brother’s rap sheet. Kioko Jahn, 27, has been arrested three times in Collin County and is believed to have racked up numerous other run-ins with the law across Texas since 2017, according to online records. Jahn was first cuffed on April 4, 2019, and charged with misdemeanor assault, an offense she seemingly pleaded guilty to seven months later in exchange for an unspecified probation term, court records show. The...

    An old post from an unlikely source has put liberals trying to prove they know better than the Trump Administration on science to shame and opened up the possibility they caused unintended harm to the most innocent. (snip) Following the historic announcement, pregnant leftists took to TikTok to mock Trump and RFK Jr’s warning about the drug. As one will see, X users collected several videos of these snarky libs popping Tylenol pills while acting like they’re performing some act of defiance.Talk about the height of arrogance with little regard for the little human being inside of them.

    A Democratic Party “rising star” who was enthusiastically backed by former Vice President Kamala Harris lost a special election by nearly three percentage points in a city Harris carried by 10 percentage points in 2024. Spiro Cheriogotis, a Republican, defeated Democratic Party challenger Barbara Drummond after receiving 51.39 percent of the vote to Drummond’s 48.61 percent. While the office was already held by a Republican in outgoing Mayor Sandy Stimpson, the race was projected to be very competitive, with many election analysts projecting a Drummond win due to Stimpson’s incumbency advantage and the city’s lean in the 2024 presidential election,...

    A lone shooter who opened fire on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility on Wednesday morning left agents with chilling messages explaining why their workplace was being targeted in the brazen attack. The gunman, who initial reports described as a white male, shot himself after being confronted by responding officers on a nearby rooftop. He used a sniper rifle in the attack, according to ICE Director Todd Lyons. At a press conference, FBI Special Agent in Charge R. Joseph Rothrock said the Dallas, Texas detention center was likely targeted because the shooter had a deeply-held animosity for ICE. “What...

    We utterly reject the notion that it’s “cancel culture” to seek the termination of public employees who post murderous political rants on social media. When you’re employed by a public institution like a university, a public school, a fire department, a police force or some other government agency, your job carries with it a responsibility to serve the public. And when you make a public display of abject hatred toward large swaths of the public you have a responsibility to serve, you certainly aren’t meeting that responsibility. Which seems to be the case with respect to Lauren Nash, who is...

    For more than a decade, many NATO countries have prioritized welfare expansion over defense procurement, a miscalculation that directly contributed to Europe’s current security crisis. Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea should have been a wake-up call; instead, it was met with half-measures and delayed commitments from key allies. Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine shattered any remaining illusions about European security. NATO’s collective security is only as strong as each member’s willingness to invest in it. The issue is not whether key Allied spending should rise; it must rise, not as a future aspiration, but as a correction for years...

Why not? Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real...

    President Donald Trump’s administration has banned Iranian diplomats from shopping at wholesale club stores and purchasing luxury goods while in America for the UN General Assembly. Newsweek reported that the Iranian diplomats love Costco because they can purchase items in bulk that they can’t buy in Iran. The rule applies to Iranian diplomats who represent the country at the UN all year. According to The Associated Press, the diplomats need permission from the State Department: In notices to be published this week in the Federal Register, the department’s Office of Foreign Missions determined that diplomatic memberships in wholesale club stores...
