The Gateway Pundit previously reported that far-left actor Mark Hamill made an appearance at the White House press briefing Friday to lavish Joe Biden with unwarranted praise. It also turns out that Biden invited the infamous “Star Wars” actor into the Oval Office for an embarrassing photo-op to mark the day fans celebrate the sci-fi saga.
Hamill has been one of Hollywood’s most vocal supporters of Biden despite the White House occupant having an approval rating hovering below 40% while regularly bashing President Trump on social media.
In a video posted on Biden’s White House X account, the elderly Biden stares into the camera and says, “May the 4th be with you,” before Hamill appears to complete the lame clip.
“Always!” Hamill replies in a deep voice.
The portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt is seen hanging on the Oval Office wall while both Biden and Hamill embarrass themselves.

This is not the first time Hamill has humiliated himself on Biden’s behalf, either. As the Hollywood Reporter notes, he appeared in an ad for the Biden-Harris campaign toward the end of the 2020 Presidential campaign where he engaged in fear-mongering over what would happen in a Trump second-term.
Hamill specifically cited Trump’s warning of a rigged election, opposition to Obamacare, and “climate change” skepticism.

President Trump went off on his enemies colorfully and discussed potential VP picks during a fiery speech at the Mar-A-Lago Saturday afternoon.
As the Daily Mail reported, Trump hosted around 400 donors and lawmakers for a $ 40,000-a-head fundraising lunch at his home. NBC News notes this luncheon was part of the Republican National Committee’s spring retreat.
Trump slammed Special Counsel Jack Smith as a “f**king a**hole” for trying to throw him in prison for speech crimes.
He then went on to blast Smith as an “evil thug” and “deranged.”
He also brutally mocked Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as a “real beauty” and “Mrs. Wade” during his speech. The latter is particularly biting because of her notorious and corrupt affair with former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
Trump also compared the Biden regime to Nazi Germany, accusing them of running a “Gestapo administration.”
However, the 45th President was not content to slam his political opponents. He also took time to tease who might select as his running mate.
NBC notes that several potential GOP vice presidential candidates are in attendance for the retreat. These include South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
“I’ve got 50 people calling me, begging me, ‘I’ll cut off my right arm, sir,'” Trump said. “‘ Please, I want to be the vice president.'”
Trump gave a shoutout to Stefanik, who fiercely defended him during his impeachment trials and completely destroyed woke Ivy League presidents over their handling of anti-Semitism on their campuses.
“Everybody said she’s going to be the vice-presidential candidate,” Trump teased.
Trump previously described Stefanik as a “real killer” during a Mar-A-Lago dinner back in January.
But the 45th President also praised several other rumored candidates. He described former presidential “rival” Scott as “one of the greatest surrogates” and called Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) “incredible.”
He also had kind words for Burgum, another former “rival” during the GOP Presidential primary, calling him “really impressive.” Trump went on to praise Rubio as a “talented guy.”
Trump also offered to let donors come up on the stage if they donated $1 million on the spot. Two donors took Trump up on his offer, and one told the crowd, ‘Donald J Trump is the person that God has chosen.’

A horrifying video has emerged showing a large transgender (biological male) student attacking a smaller and weaker girl in a New York high school women’s restroom, which resulted in a bomb threat being sent to the institution after the clip was discovered online.
While the assault at Greece Arcadia High School in Rochester reportedly took place in February, it was only uncovered on Thursday by the feminist website Reduxx. The outlet also noted the school refused to share any details regarding the awful beating.
The clip captured by Reduxx shows the transgender teen storming into a restroom stall and laying a beatdown on the innocent girl while other students record the assault on their cell phones.
The trans student then grabs the helpless girl by her hair and violently drags her out along the floor and into the hallway. The victim can be heard screaming in terror.
The transgender teen lands several more punches on his victim before a school staff member finally arrives to help break up the one-sided fight. Another person then picks the girl up and carries her away.
WATCH:
A girl was reportedly assaulted in the female restroom at Arcadia High School in Rochester, New York.
According to another student at the school, the attacker is a boy who identifies as a girl. He was allegedly retaliating for perceived insults.

WXXI News reported the school received an “anti-transgender” bomb threat loaded with profanity just after 6 a.m. on Friday, the day after the video went viral.
According to WHEC, the threat message accused Greece Arcadia High School of failing to ensure a safe learning environment. It also claimed the district was encouraging “mentally ill” and “degenerate” behavior in students, explicitly referencing the brawl.
School officials evacuated both Greece Arcadia High and Middle schools following the threat. Classes were delayed from opening for two hours as police investigated the bomb threat.
Superintendent Kathleen Graupman called the bomb threat a hate crime and claimed outside forces were using the brutal assault to advance an agenda.
“It is clear that this is being used for an agenda, whether it’s a personal or political agenda, it is being used. That fight that occurred was significant and very, very upsetting and disturbing, and also, I want to be very clear: it involved minors, and it involved minors that deserve respect and privacy. We don’t get to share videos and names and peoples’ personal identities out there,” Graupman said.
As WHEC notes, Graupman went on to say the school district is helping authorities find and prosecute the individual or individuals who sent the bomb threat.
There is no word on whether the vicious attack on the innocent girl by the transgender student will be investigated and prosecuted, however.

During the debate over Obamacare back in 2010, then-President Barack Obama solemnly vowed before America illegal aliens would never have access to his healthcare proposal. In response to the pledge, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) screamed, “You lie!” and was booed by the House of Representatives.
Remember this?
Democrats lied to the American people when they said Obamacare wouldn’t be used for illegal aliens. Now you’re paying the bill for that lie.
This is a disgrace. https://t.co/TE2GlmtRSW pic.twitter.com/sJWnGhLRfQ
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 3, 2024
Wilson’s words have now proved prophetic. On Friday, the Biden regime issued a final rule change to expand Obamacare coverage to younger illegals (Dreamers) who have been allowed to stay in the United States under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, DACA was illegally created in 2012 by the Obama regime in a ploy to win over Hispanic voters in the 2012 Presidential election. The program provided work permits to illegals who entered the U.S. illegals while still minors.
Roughly 500,000 illegal aliens were protected from deportation thanks to DACA, but none received healthcare coverage until now.
The White House issued a news release that illegals covered by DACA can start applying for coverage in Obamacare and state healthcare marketplaces in November, just in time for the 2024 election.
They also boasted that more than 100,000 illegals would qualify for the program while bragging about the unconstitutional DACA policy.
Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is expanding access to affordable, quality healthcare coverage to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. In 2012, President Obama and then Vice President Biden created the DACA policy to transform the lives of eligible Dreamers – young people who came to this country as children—allowing them to live and work lawfully in our country. Over the last decade, DACA has brought stability, possibility, and progress to hundreds of thousands of Dreamers.
While President Biden continues to call on Congress to provide a pathway to citizenship to Dreamers and others, he is committed to protecting and preserving DACA and providing Dreamers with the opportunities and support they need to succeed, including access to affordable, quality health care coverage. Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration’s actions, today’s final rule will remove the prohibition on DACA recipients’ eligibility for Affordable Care Act coverage for the first time, and is projected to help more than 100,000 young people gain health insurance. Starting in November, DACA recipients can apply for coverage through HealthCare.gov and state-based marketplaces, where they may qualify for financial assistance to help them purchase quality health insurance. Four out of five consumers have found a plan for less than $10 a month, with millions saving an average of about $800 a year on their premiums.
President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that health care should be a right, not a privilege. Together, they promised to protect and strengthen the Affordable Care Act, lowering costs and expanding coverage so that every American has the peace of mind that health insurance brings. Today’s final rule delivers on the President’s commitment by giving DACA recipients that same peace and opportunity.
Today’s rule also reinforces the President’s enduring commitment to DACA recipients and Dreamers, who contribute daily to the strength and vitality of our communities and our country. On day one of his Administration, President Biden committed to preserving and fortifying the DACA policy. While only Congress can provide Dreamers permanent status and a pathway to citizenship, the Biden-Harris Administration has continued to vigorously defend DACA against ongoing legal challenges and strengthened DACA by codifying the 2012 policy in a final rule.
The New York Post estimates the unconstitutional rule change will cost taxpayers up to $300 million. All of this while our southern border remains open and millions of Americans struggle to keep a roof over their heads.
However, under the Biden regime, Americans always come last.

The pro-Hamas agitators appear to have met their match in SEC country.
As Jim Hoft reported on Thursday, hundreds of Ole Miss students gathered at the Pro-Hamas camp and began singing the National Anthem while also chanting “We want Trump!”
Today, it was LSU’s turn to overturn the agitators. As WBRZ reported, protesters gathered on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge on Friday to air their grievances against Israel’s defensive actions against Hamas and to demand LSU disclose all of its financial ties to Israeli entities.
But footage quickly emerged showing hordes of students hijacking the pro-Hamas protest and overwhelming the agitators in short order.

The protesters and counter-protesters did find common ground on one thing: Joe Biden. Like at Alabama, both sides briefly erupted in “F**k Joe Biden!” chants.
One student even asked the agitators if they were voting for Trump. They only responded with “F**k Joe Biden.”

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) completely lost his mind during a House Judiciary Committee field hearing Friday after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) dared to invoke the name of far-left, pro-criminal billionaire George Soros.
The field hearing, “Victims of Violent Crime in Philadelphia,” was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and headed by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). The purpose of the hearing was to examine how Soros-backed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s soft-on-crime policies embolden criminals at the expense of innocent Philadelphia residents.
As The Gateway Pundit readers know, Soros-funded prosecutors across America have declared war on law-abiding citizens by refusing to prosecute violent criminals and allowing this country’s famous cities to resemble scenes from “The Purge.”
During the hearing, Gaetz began reading headlines about these pro-crime district attorneys letting bad guys off the hook when Nadler opened his mouth. He loudly accused Gaetz of promoting anti-semitism by mentioning Soros, who is culturally Jewish but does not believe in God, in connection to violent crime.
Gaetz calmly responded to Nadler’s outburst by giving him a simple reality check: Not everything about Soros is anti-semitic, and these critiques focus on matters of public policy that affect everyday Americans.
Moreover, Gaetz said he did not know anything about Soros’s faith.

Horrifying video footage emerged this week showing the moment an employee viciously assaulted a helpless autistic child inside an autism center in Burnsville, Minnesota.
The video shows the three-year-old boy at Sunrise Autism Center playing in the corner before the employee suddenly approaches him. She grabs the child by his shoulder and shoves him to the floor.
The woman then shoves the kid down again when he tries to get up. The child lands on his back and starts screaming in pain.
The assault ends with the woman lifting the boy with both hands and throwing him to the floor.

WCCO on Thursday identified, the perpetrator in the video as 25-year-old Arianna Williams. She has been charged with malicious punishment of a child.
Farhiya, the little boy’s mother, spoke with WCCO in Somali following the incident. She told the network she cried and screamed when she first saw the video.
The mom, who is Somali-American, explained that her son was diagnosed with autism last year, and she hoped that enrolling him in the center for a week would get him the speech and occupational therapy he needed. She said her son could not tell her what happened and called Williams heartless.
“You would think she doesn’t have a heart,” Farhiya said in Somali.
Sunrise Autism Center told WCCO they fired Williams immediately and called the police. Charging documents say Williams was a new hire at the center.
Charging documents also show that the incident was on the first day Williams was allowed with children unsupervised. After being fired, Williams reportedly sent a text to a co-worker, claiming “I’d never purposely hurt anyone I was just having a really bad start to the week.”
WCCO reports Williams is scheduled to next appear in court on June 20.

The CEO of a male hair loss and erectile dysfunction company caused an online uproar after boasting he is “eager” to hire the pro-Hamas agitators illegally occupying college campuses across America.
As The New York Post reported, Andrew Dudum, the CEO of Hims, posted a disgusting message on X praising the unruly individuals for their “moral courage” and sharing a link for them to apply for jobs.
“Moral courage > College degree,” he wrote. “If you’re currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people & for your university’s divestment from Israel, keep going. It’s working.”
“There are plenty of companies & CEOs eager to hire you, regardless of university discipline,” he added while sharing a link to the Hims career page.

President Trump was warmly received by New York City’s finest as he delivered a special treat to them following a long day in court.
As Fox News reported, the 45th President spent most of the day cooped up inside a Manhattan courtroom to witness testimony and cross-examination regarding the bogus criminal charges against him. Corrupt Judge Juan Merchan also heard arguments from prosecutors and Trump’s defense team on whether Trump violated the unconstitutional gag order imposed upon him.
Media outlets captured footage of Trump hand-delivering pizzas and posing for photos alongside the firefighters. The visit lasted roughly 10 minutes, and Trump did not address the media afterward.
Look how thrilled the firefighters are to see a man taking time to honor them. Compare this to a so-called “president” who regularly spits on those who serve.

A Florida man was arrested for a crime that could be mistaken for a headline in the Onion or the Babylon Bee.
As the Smoking Gun reported, 20-year-old Khanye Edrayieze Medley was arrested on Monday by Clearwater Police on a domestic battery charge. He allegedly got into a verbal altercation with his sister, who he lives with, that turned physical in a most unusual way.
The police affidavit shows that Medley grabbed a bag of chicken from his sister and began hurling pieces at her during an argument on Sunday. One piece of chicken hit her in the back and left debris on her shoulders.
Here is the affidavit:
The chicken Medley used in the attack was reportedly from Church’s Texas Chicken, which has a location close to their residence.
When questioned by police, Medley allegedly confessed to throwing two pieces of chicken at his sister.
When asked why he launched the bizarre attack, Medley reportedly replied he did it because “he had not eaten and did not want the piece of chicken the victim offered him, so he became upset.” He actually used the hunger defense as an excuse for his actions.
Yahoo News reports Medley was released from Pinellas County jail the next day on recognizance.
This is not Medley’s first run-in with the law or his first alleged assault on his sister. The Smoking Gun reveals that earlier this year; he was arrested for allegedly biting and strangling his sister, slamming a door on her arm, and striking her with a piece of “wooden decor.”
The State Attorney declined to press charges against Medley after Medley’s sister said she did not want him prosecuted.

A video has emerged showing the moment a pro-Hamas agitator got more than he bargained for after attempting an awkward charge toward police officers during a protest at Portland State University.
As Fox News reported, protesters took over the student library (Millar Library) in downtown Portland on Monday and have stayed there since. Only now has the city finally started to take action to end the madness.
On Thursday, local Portland TV station KPTV captured footage of a small group of protesters carrying makeshift shields made out of trash cans streaming out of the library as the crowd cheered them on.
A police officer quickly warns the protesters that they will be placed under arrest. One agitator fails to heed the warning and is quickly overpowered by a cop and knocked to the ground.
After getting up, the protester is promptly apprehended by the police and dragged along the ground.

Police released a statement saying they are working to clear the Millar Library and told Fox News that several arrests have been made.
“The Portland Police Bureau is actively collaborating with Portland State University to address the illegal activities at the university’s Millar Library,” the statement reads.
“After a group of protesters departed from a peaceful First Amendment gathering and unlawfully entered the campus building on Monday, the PPB has been working in partnership with city leaders, other municipal bureaus, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office, and Portland State University to ensure a safe resolution.”
Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt pledged this week that he expects felony charges to be filed against the pro-Hamas agitators. These will reportedly include burglary and felony criminal mischief, along with possible misdemeanor charges.
Given that this protest is occurring in one of the most liberal cities in the country, one should be skeptical of this promise, however. The agitators clearly have no fear of authority.

Senator J.D. Vance schooled and shut down CNN leftist Kaitlan Collins after she tried to ambush him with gotcha questions on the garbage criminal prosecutions of President Trump.
On Wednesday evening, Vance was a guest on Collins’s eponymous show, The Source with Kaitlan Collins, to discuss various topics, including the pro-Hamas protests on college campuses across America and whether he would serve as Trump’s vice president. However, things got heated when the subject turned to Trump’s political prosecutions.
After one leading question from Collins, Vance unloaded on Biden’s Department of Injustice. He pointed out how “unusual” it was for the DOJ to collude with communist Manhattan DA Alkving Bragg’s office to bring a nonsense case against a political opponent. Moreover, Vance railed against corrupt Judge Juan Merchan while pointing out his donations to Biden.
He then warned how damaging the prosecutions of Trump are to America’s judicial system. Collins could only sit there in silence after thinking about interrupting him toward the end.
“This is a real threat to Americans’ trust in the legal system,” Vance said. “We are destroying the American system of law and order to bring down Joe Biden’s political opponent.”

Undeterred, Collins asked another misleading question regarding whether Trump could order the military to stage a coup. Trump previously claimed he was immune from prosecution for official acts as president.
Liberal Justice Elena Kagan previously posed this hypothetical question to Trump lawyer D. John Sauer during arguments in the immunity hearing last month. Sauer said it depended on the circumstances, but impeachment and conviction must occur before any criminal prosecution.
Vance pointed out this fact during his response to Collins. Then he posed a pointed question to illustrate the slippery slope the Biden regime is embarking on: Should Barack Obama be prosecuted for killing an American citizen via a drone strike?” He then pointed out that if the Regime got its way, the next president would find it impossible to enforce the laws of this country.
After Collins tried to interrupt Vance toward the end, he completely shut her down.

VANCE: First of all, he (Sauer) said it depends on the circumstances (immunity from prosecution)…But more importantly, Kaitlin, he’s just saying that would count as an official act…
COLLINS: But, but, is that an official act in your view too
VANCE: Can I finish, Kaitlin? In an official act, there are a number of checks and balances in our system. There’s the impeachment process, there’s the budgeting authority…There are a number of ways Congress has check and balance control over the president.
All he is saying is the criminal liability procedures that exist in this country do not cover the president’s official acts…Should Barack Obama be prosecuted for killing an American citizen via a drone strike?”
There are a number of examples in American history where if you apply the lawfare standard of the Biden Administration against Donald Trump, it would make the Presidency impossible to execute the law.
COLLINS: Yeah, I know that’s the argument that…
VANCE (shutting her down): In the name of taking down their political opponent, Kaitlin, these guys are pushing a legal theory that I think would really destroy the presidency whether a Democrat or Republican was in charge.

As the Daily Caller reported, Budget Chairman Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) had invited Supran, an associate professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of Miami, to testify as a so-called “expert” on “Denial, Disinformation, and Doublespeak: Big Oil’s Evolving Efforts to Avoid Accountability for Climate Change.”
The Daily Caller notes that Supran, in December, retweeted several posts by a group called Climate Defiance, including one targeting Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV). As the Gateway Pundit reported, the group claimed victory after calling Manchin a “sick f**k” during a March meeting at the Harvard Kennedy School despite one of their protesters getting leveled after interrupting the event.

After exposing the connection between Supran and Climate Defiance, The Caller reports Kennedy grilled him on the Manchin reposts along with ones calling Senator Lisa Murkowski (RINO-AK) a “murderer” in April and telling Exxon CEO and Chairman Darren Woods to “eat sh*t” in December. Supran responded by denying responsibility, which brought derisive scorn from Kennedy.
“I’m not responsible for the statements of other people,” Supran said.
“Nice group you’re hanging around with, doc. Here’s what your tweet says,” Kennedy sneered. He then read a despicable December 14 tweet, the first Supran endorsed by the organization.
We do not do online petitions. We do not do NGO coalition letters. We do not do f**king bus stop ads.
We CHASE fossil fuel CEOs and the politicians who do their bidding. And we do not apologize.

After reading more vile tweets, the professor tried to distance himself again by saying these were not his words despite posting the group’s statements on his X account.
Kennedy then delivered the finishing blow to Supran toward the end of the hearing after he again tried to dissociate himself from the posts lamely and accused Kennedy of defaming his character. But Kennedy blew him up with one final question: Are you gonna call me a sick f**k?!”
Not even Whitehouse’s attempted intervention could save Supran.

SUPRAN: May I please see the document?
KENNEDY: Yes, sir. Hand the witness his documents.
WHITEHOUSE: The Senator’s time has expired, and there are other senators waiting.
KENNEDY: Oh, I’ve got a bunch more tweets. Thank you for your objective advice (sarcasm)…I’d like to submit all of the good doctor’s tweets and “scientific analysis” for the record.
WHITEHOUSE: Without objection.
SUPRAN: May I clarify one final point? These are not my tweets. These are retweets.
KENNEDY: Oh, you often retweet stuff you don’t support. Is that what you’re telling me, doc?
SUPRAN: I did not say that I do not support this. I simply did not tweet it, which you were alleging. I’d like to make very clear that this is a form of character assassination characteristic of propaganda techniques-
KENNEDY: You retweeted it, didn’t you!? Are you going to call me a sick f**k?!

President Trump revealed what actions he will take in November if he falls short of winning the 2024 Presidential election.
As the Daily Mail reported, Trump spoke to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel regarding issues around election integrity in an interview following Wednesday’s rally in Waukesha. Trump focused most of his comments during the rally on Biden’s garbage economic record and the illegal alien invasion along America’s southern border.
Trump explained in his interview that he could take two paths after the election: one would be to accept the results if they were just. But in the event of an unfair election, he would spare no expense going to battle.
“If everything’s honest, I’ll gladly accept the results. I don’t change on that,” Trump told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.”
This is a brave stance for Trump to take, considering he is currently being prosecuted for daring to exercise his First Amendment rights by questioning the results of the last presidential election.
At the time of this writing, Trump is leading Joe Biden in EVERY swing state. As Gateway Pundit readers know, these states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Trump also said during his interview with the outlet that he won Wisconsin the last time. Official results showed Biden secured 1,630,866 votes compared to Trump’s 1,610,184, a margin of 20,682 votes, though multiple reports have called the vote totals into question.
“If you go back and look at all of the things that had been found out, it showed that I won the election in Wisconsin,” Trump claimed. “It also showed I won the election in other locations.”
Given the current trends, a Biden “victory” would undoubtedly appear suspicious in the eyes of millions of Americans, especially given the nonexistent election integrity laws in so many states. If it is close, Trump will have every justifiable right to contest the election.
Hopefully, a large voter turnout of Americans furious over Biden’s failed “leadership” will render this unnecessary.

In a time of extreme division and violence in America, it turns out there is still one man who can unite us all: Joe Biden.
On Wednesday afternoon, pro-Hamas agitators held a protest on the campus of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa and were countered by numerous pro-Trump counter-protesters objecting to their despicable views.
Things got a bit testy at first when the pro-Hamas clowns started chanting “Free Palestine!” while the Trump supporters countered by singing the National Anthem.

According to the Crimson White’s Maven Navarro, the protesters were demanding the University cut ties with weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin and for an immediate ceasefire (Israeli surrender) in Gaza.
But unlike many universities across America, Alabama officials took common-sense action to ensure no violence occurred and threatened strict consequences for those who broke the rules. Below are the protest rules handed out by the University:
Officials also ensured protesters were kept in restricted areas with a police presence to keep the peace.
As a result, the protest only lasted about two hours and ended with no violence.

An iconic and beautiful moment of patriotism occurred last night after a pro-Hamas protest was broken up at City College New York (CCNY) by New York City’s finest.
As the New York Post reported, the New York Police Department ripped down the ghastly Palestinian banner atop the CCNY’s flag pole and replaced it with the one flag all patriotic Americans pledge allegiance to: Old Glory.
Video footage shared by NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry shows the police officers tearing down the unwanted flag of terrorists before throwing it to the ground like a piece of trash.
The officers then raised Old Glory in its place during a ceremony while Daughtry gave a speech.
“An incredible scene and proud moment as we have assisted in restoring order on campus, culminating in raising Old Glory once again on their campus flagpole,” Daughtry wrote.

Four Florida teens, including a high school football star, were killed in a high-speed chase earlier this month after allegedly stealing a vehicle.
WLBT reported Saturday that the April 20 pursuit started with a Honda CRV that was reported stolen out of Gainesville and ended in the Waldo area. A license plate reader had detected the alleged theft hours later.
A deputy followed the stolen vehicle while waiting for backup to arrive. Once backup officers arrived to help, they tried to pull the SUV over, but it slowed down and then sped off.
“We confirmed with the Gainesville Police Department that they still had that car entered as stolen, and the officer waited until he had three backup units with him before he initiated the traffic stop,” Bradford County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Brad Smith said. “They did start to pull over on the shoulder of the road, but before they came to a complete stop, they accelerated again, and that is when the chase was on.”
WLBT revealed that Bradford County deputies reached speeds of 111 mph during the chase, but they were unable to match the speed of the SUV. Police officials said deputies pulled back, and a Florida Highway Patrol trooper continued the chase.
The trooper was able to ram the vehicle and used a PIT maneuver. This caused the SUV to roll over and slam into a cement pole.
Here are some photos showing the aftermath of the ugly wreck.
Authorities revealed two of the teenagers occupying the SUV wore ankle monitors, and three had active warrants for their arrests.
Two teens were pronounced dead on the scene, while the other two perished at the hospital. All of those killed in the crash were between the ages of 14 and 16.
The Main Street Daily News identified two of the deceased youths as Newberry High School students, Jabril Cheevers and Lawrence McClendon Jr. The latter was a star sophomore defensive back for the football team.
Ed Johnson, Newbury’s head football coach, mourned the loss of one of his top players.
Lawrence was a great kid to be around and have in our program. As a football player, he was competitive, talented, and relentless, with a knack for making big plays.
He will be truly missed by everyone in the Panther football family.

Residents in Louisiana’s Democrat-run capital city have won a historic battle to secede and create their own city following a lengthy court battle.
As the New York Times reported, the Louisiana Supreme Court cleared the way on Friday for a group of mostly-white, affluent residents of Baton Rouge to secede and form the new city of St. George. This is the first city incorporated in the Pelican State in almost two decades.
In the 4-3 ruling, the justices found that lower courts were wrong in blocking St George’s creation over concerns of its financial viability.
Andrew Murrell, one of the leaders of the St. George movement, released the following statement after the Louisiana Supreme Court’s decision.
This is the culmination of citizens exercising their constitutional rights. We voted and we won.
Whether you are for or you are against St. George, now is your opportunity, a historic opportunity, to create a city from the beginning, from the ground up. It’s your ideas, it’s your policies, it’s your way of life and now you can come together and put those out there and have someone accountable to you.
Now, we begin the process of delivering on our promises of a better city. We welcome both our friends and foes to the table to create St. George.
The Times reported that in 2015, supporters failed to collect enough signatures to bring their proposal up for a vote but prevailed in 2019 before a lengthy court battle stalled the initiative.
The New York Post notes that Sharon Weston Broome, the mayor-president who leads the combined Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish governments, previously sued the St. George organizers. She whined that the secession would suck more than $48 million in yearly tax revenue from the local government.
St. George will be Louisiana’s sixth largest city in terms of population, with nearly 100,000 people.
St. George will likely be a GOP stronghold as well, given its heavily white population. In 2020, white Louisianans supported President Trump by a 77%–22% margin while blacks supported Joe Biden by 88%–10%.
While Broome committed to serving the residents of St. George following the vote, others fumed. The local NAACP released a statement slamming the new town and warning the development would negatively impact Baton Rouge’s education system and “community representation.”
The St. George plan poses significant risks to our education system, threatens the continuity of critical programs, and challenges community representation. The creation of a new municipality introduces considerable uncertainty around funding allocation for our schools, jeopardizing the cornerstone of our community’s future: education.

An Arkansas teacher has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy she met at the Arkansas church long frequented by former President Bill Clinton.
As the New York Post reported Monday, 26-year-old Reagan Gray was apprehended earlier this month after it was learned she had allegedly been assaulting the minor boy since 2020 while volunteering for the student ministry at the Immanuel Baptist Church in Little Rock.
THV11 reported the child’s parents uncovered several text messages on their child’s phone at the time and told Gray to leave him alone. The parents next reported Gray to the senior pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church.
The outlet also revealed the church’s head pastor confronted Gray about the messages between her and the boy. She claimed the relationship was not physical.
But Gray returned and began volunteering in the ministry once again shortly after being dismissed. Moreover, contact between her and the boy resumed, according to THV11.
Authorities got involved in February upon learning this information. They interviewed the head pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church that month, who said Gray admitted to him during a counseling session last fall that her relationship with the minor back in 2020 was sexual.
During his interviews with federal agents, the 15-year-old allegedly revealed Gray had given him oral sex but they didn’t have intercourse because she wanted him to “stay pure,” according to the Post.
The boy said that Gray received his phone number through the group chat for the church’s music program. Gray also allegedly sent nude photos of herself to the minor daily and wanted nude images of him sent back to her.
Gray was charged with a single felony count of sexual assault on a teenager between September 2020 and May 2021. She was released on $20,000 bail after turning herself into Little Rock police on Wednesday.
The church leader stepped down from his position earlier this month after being criticized over his handling of the alleged sexual abuse.
Gray currently works at Sylvan Hills Middle School but has been on administrative leave since February 12, 2024.
Clinton’s ties to Immanuel Baptist Church run deep. He not only attended the church regularly but also noted how pivotal it was in preparing him for the presidency, as the LA Times notes in a 1993 article.
“Were it not for this church, I believe it would be virtually impossible that I would be going to Washington next week as president,” Clinton told congregants then. “And I am absolutely certain I would be less prepared for the job.”

A beloved New York City firefighter and veteran passed away due to a heart attack after city officials fired him to help provide funding to care for illegal aliens. Now, his family is broke.
The New York Post reported Sunday that 36-year-old Derek Floyd suffered cardiac arrest and died on April 15. This was four months after the city canned him as part of a larger effort to trim staff and fund services for the tens of thousands of illegals invading the Big Apple.
The outlet reports NYC is aiming to cut the FDNY budget by $74 million by the end of 2025 to make way for even more spending on illegal aliens.
The Post reveals Floyd was dismissed weeks before Christmas. He had been a firefighter for four years and was one of roughly ten Fire Department employees on “long-term duty.”
Long-term duty means a firefighter was either injured on the job and given office work or is out sick for an extended period. Floyd was working in the chaplain’s office after suffering an earlier heart attack in 2019 while in the Fire Academy.
To make matters even worse, Floyd was just shy of vesting additional medical benefits for his family and more than $600,000 worth of death benefits when he was canned, leaving his family with nothing.
“If Derek would have stayed on, he would have had a life insurance policy with the FDNY,” Christine said. “That would have helped out financially because right now, it’s really bad. I’m honestly swimming in a lot of debt.” Floyd’s 34-year-old widow, Cristine, told The Post.
“I think it definitely took a toll once they let him go,” she added. “He always tried to, like, stay positive about it, and he wasn’t really angry.
After Floyd was terminated, he found a job with a nonprofit that helps veterans. The pay, however, was far less than what he made while working for the FDNY.
Moreover, he had limited benefits and the hours prevented him from spending time with his children.
Uniformed Firefighter Association president Andrew Ansbro blasted Derek’s firing in an interview with the Post, noting how unnecessary it was considering the FDNY is already understaffed.
“What disturbs me the most is that the FDNY is understaffed by hundreds of firefighters. Terminating Floyd was absolutely unnecessary,” Ansbro said.
“He had an important job, and the FDNY actually needed him in that unit,” Ansbro continued. “He was terminated so the department could prove that they were making cuts. He deserved better.”
In addition to his loyal service as an FDNY employee, Floyd served three tours of duty in the Middle East with the Marines.
He is survived by Christine and their two children, a 6-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl.
The Post notes that donations to help the Floyds in their time of need can be made to the “New York Firefighters Foundation” and sent by mail addressed to FF Derek Floyd C/O UFA – NYFFinc 204 E. 23rd St., New York, NY 10010.

California Governor Gavin Newsom asked social media users to help design a new $1 coin to honor the state’s innovations on Thursday, and it unsurprisingly blew up in his face.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, the Golden State is suffering from various maladies under Newsom’s watch. These include a severe homelessness epidemic, skyrocketing crime, unaffordable taxes, and high electricity costs.
This has led to a mass exodus of businesses and residents. But Newsom, for some reason, thought social media users would lavish California with praise instead.
Calling all members of the Tortured Coin Designers Department…

It appears the long-running feud between America’s top two Republicans has thawed.
As The Washington Post reported President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis met privately for several hours Sunday morning in Miami. Trump and DeSantis had not spoken since the end of the Republican primary, a bitter contest in which both men launched biting attacks at each other, which were often personal.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, DeSantis endorsed Trump the day he left the race in January.
Allies of both men brokered the meeting in hopes of a potential peace between the two. According to the Post, the meeting was the brainchild of prominent Florida real estate broker Steve Witkoff, an ally of both Trump and DeSantis.
Witkoff contacted Trump and asked him to meet with the Florida governor.
Both Trump and DeSantis spoke on friendly terms, according to the Post’s sources, and DeSantis agreed to help the 45th President. Trump’s team is hopeful such assistance will include the Florida governor helping raise money for the campaign, which is lagging behind Biden in fundraising.
The meeting will also produce renewed speculation that Trump is looking at tapping DeSantis as his running mate. Trump previously suggested that the Florida governor was on the list of people he was considering.
This seems like a long shot considering a good number of Trump’s staff still despise Ron DeSantis. After initial calm, DeSantis stirred up a hornet’s nest again in February when he slammed Trump’s campaign team in a private call with his supporters.
“I think he’s got people in his inner circle who were part of our orbit years ago that we fired, and I think some of that is they just have an ax to grind,” DeSantis said.
Chris LaCivita, a top aide to Trump, responded by calling DeSantis a “sad little man.”
But stranger things have happened. Back in 1960, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson saw the political benefits of joining forces despite loathing each other. This partnership proved decisive in Kennedy’s controversial win over Richard Nixon in the 1960 Presidential election.
Regardless of who Trump picks as VP, helping him out is also in DeSantis’s interest because the Florda governor is widely expected to seek the 2028 GOP nomination for President in what will be a wide-open field. Avoiding Trump’s bad side is crucial because no politician has proven to be a better assassin in primaries than the Donald.

A New Mexico grandmother is speaking out after audio has emerged showing the moment she gave a career criminal a painful lesson for breaking into her home.
As KRQE reported Thursday, 45-year-old Albuquerque resident Anissa Tinnin was enjoying the evening watching the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie with her 4-year-old granddaughter last month when she came face to face with a career criminal, who was identified as 32-year-old Joseph Rivera, running away from police.
“We had our popcorn and M&M’s, dancing and singing along, when our lives were about to suddenly change,” she wrote on Facebook.
Tinnen managed to chase Rivera away from her residence at first, but he broke in a second time and threatened to harm her and her granddaughter.
“I jumped over this couch, and we met there by the front door. That’s when he grabbed me and was upset and said to give him my keys. He said he didn’t want to go to jail. He did threaten to hurt my granddaughter and me,” Tinnin told KRQE.
Tinnin said she tried to obtain more information from the suspect, but he had no interest in the conversation. She then looked for her keys as she dialed 911.
Rivera then grabbed her key fob and attempted to break into her car. He then made his way back toward the house after failing to do so.
KRQE obtained the audio of the 911 call, which they played during their interview with Tinnin. During the call, Tinnin reveals to the dispatcher that the thug broke into her house and tried to take her car. She begs for assistance.
Listen and watch:
Tinnin (crying on the phone): “This guy came into my house and tried to take my car. Please help me.”
She then turns to her sobbing granddaughter and tells her to be “brave” and to stay in the bedroom.
Tinnin: “I need you to be really brave right now. I got to go. Stay right here in the bedroom.”
“It’s okay, baby.” “It’s okay. It’s okay.”
Tinnin next grabbed her gun to check if the suspect had left, but he hadn’t yet. Rivera can be heard banging on the door before kicking it in.
She shoots him after an initial warning, leaving him shocked.
Tinnin: “Get back. Get back. I have a gun. Get back. Get back. I will f**king shoot you.”
(Gunfire)
Dispatcher: “What did you do?”
Rivera: “Why did you shoot me?”
Tinnin: “Because you’re in my f****** house!”
The grandmother then renders aid to the wounded thug but warns him that if he tries anything sinister, she will shoot him again.
Tinnin: “I will give you water, but if you f**king hurt me, I’m going to shoot you again.”
Tinnin then begs the dispatcher for help and demands to know why the police have not arrived yet.
Tinnin: “This is not happening… where are the police?”
A few minutes later, the police finally arrived to drag Rivera out of the house.
Following the incident, Rivera was charged with burglary, attempting to commit a felony, and auto theft. He previously had five previous felony convictions for other burglaries and auto thefts.
Tinnin told KRQE that she wanted the district attorney to throw the book at Rivera. “I would like for him to be held to the fullest extent,” she said. “I absolutely do not want the District Attorney’s Office giving him a plea deal. He belongs in jail.”
Tinnin also told the outlet she felt God helped protect her family throughout the ordeal.
“I do believe we had a guardian angel here with us, and I do firmly believe that God was watching over us,” said Tinnin.

Things went south in a hurry for roughly 40 pro-Hamas protesting students at Florida State University Thursday morning, but they probably smell a little bit better after receiving a much-needed shower via the sprinklers.
As the Tallahassee Democrat reported, members of Tallahassee Students for a Democratic Society set up an encampment on Landis Green to protest Israel’s justifiable actions against Hamas. Other local organizations, such as The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, the Tallahassee Community Action Committee, and the Tallahassee Dissenters, reportedly joined the protest as well.
But campus police forced them to remove their tents, which were set up for only five minutes on the grassy space predawn due to a university rule that bars camping on university lands, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
“As an educational institution, Florida State University welcomes free inquiry, diverse thought, and rigorous debate,” FSU spokesperson Amy Farnum-Patronis told the outlet. “However, these expressions must comply with university regulation and the law.”
During the protest, the sprinklers unexpectedly turned on while the students protested, leaving them soaking wet. The agitators claimed the university deliberately set them off to discourage their protest.
A FSU spokesperson denied this saying the sprinklers turning on was a coincidence and “happens throughout the day.”
But an even more humorous thing happened when they tried to cover up the sprinklers.
One student fed up with the loony left clowns occupying the FSU campus noticed foul-smelling pro-Hamas losers trying to avoid a sprinkler shower and quickly rectified the problem.

Atlanta police officers showed no mercy Thursday as they laid down the law against unruly anti-Israel and anti-cop protesters at Emory University.
As Fox 5 Atlanta reported, several dozen agitators illegally set up a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawn of the school and held signs.
FOX 5 Atlanta’s Billy Heath III noted that the protesters were approached by police, who gave them a minute to disperse, or they would be arrested for trespassing.

The students refused to comply with the cops’ demands and ended up paying a heavy price as a result.
Video footage from the protest shows police officers getting physical with the spoiled brats after allegedly being attacked. the police reportedly had to resort to firing rubber bullets and spraying tear gas to restore order.
You can hear what sounds like rubber bullets in the clip below while some protesters scream, “Let them go!” Many protesters are also seen being zip-tied and marched away.

The article claims without evidence the protesters are students from “multiple Atlanta universities” and community members. Emory University was chosen because the Marxists protesting view it as “complicit in genocide and police militarization.”
Laura Diamond, assistant vice president of University Communications at Emory University, released a statement saying the agitators were “not members of our community” and had no right to disrupt school functions:
Several dozen protesters trespassed into Emory University’s campus early Thursday morning and set up tents on the Quad. These individuals are not members of our community.
They are activists attempting to disrupt our university as our students finish classes and prepare for finals. Emory does not tolerate vandalism or other criminal activity on campus. The Emory Police Department ordered the group to leave and contacted Atlanta Police for assistance.
But CNN reports at least two professors were among those arrested. One of these “educators” was Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University.

Hopefully more information will come out in the coming days regarding the participants. Having professors involved and possibly brainwashing students in the process is definitely troubling.

Video footage captured the moment several migrants in New York City beat the tar out of each other earlier this week in broad daylight in Midtown.
The New York Post reported that over a dozen so-called asylum seekers faced off Sunday afternoon outside The Row Hotel on Eighth Avenue. An X user captured two separate brawl videos and posted them on his account.
The user who captured the videos identified them as Venezuelans, but this has not been confirmed.
The video opens with one migrant getting hit from behind with what appears to be a drink. They then start circling each other with two swinging their bats for several seconds.
The first part of the footage concludes with one of the fighters getting dragged to the ground and pounded one by three other migrants.

The second part of the video is arguably wilder, with the combatants using their own helmets as weapons in addition to bats. One migrant fighter is seen getting chased from the sidewalk to the street.
The footage also shows one yanked down onto the street in front of oncoming traffic. Four others kicked and hit him with bats while on the ground.
The final part shows a migrant being chased while being hit with the bats.

Joe Biden is strongly considering granting over one million illegal aliens amnesty by the stroke of a pen just in time for the 2024 Presidential election and amid the worst immigration crisis in American history.
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that this executive order would grant legalization to illegals married to U.S. citizens who are barred from receiving green cards.
The pro-illegal alien FWD.us notes that 1.1 million illegal aliens are currently married to American citizens.
The Daily Mail reports that the primary reasons these illegals were denied citizenship in these cases are because the individual has repeatedly entered the country illegally or forged legal documentation in the past.
To get around this “problem,” the Biden regime is looking at a so-called “parole in place” program for spouses of U.S. citizens not initially granted citizenship.
This status would ensure illegal aliens could obtain work permits and a path toward U.S. citizenship.
It would mark yet another cave by Biden to his radical left base on this issue. Reuters notes a group of 86 leftist Democrats sent a letter to Biden and disgraced Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas last year to urge them to “protect” spouses of U.S. citizens and create a so-called family reunification process for those outside America.
Such a decision by Biden would also negate alleged plans by him to limit asylum claims by invaders, as previously reported by the Gateway Pundit. The actions he has been weighing somewhat resemble what President Trump did to secure the border before Biden dismantled them upon taking office.
A White House spokesperson declined to comment on the matter but did say they were evaluating all options.
“The administration remains committed to ensuring those who are eligible for relief can receive it quickly and to building an immigration system that is fairer and more humane,” the spokesperson said to the Wall Street Journal.
TGP previously revealed that Biden was considering granting legalization to illegal invaders who had lived in the U.S. for over 10 years or had citizen relatives who would “suffer” if shipped back. It’s not clear if Biden is also still pondering this scheme.
If he is, one can add millions more to the estimated 1.1 million under current consideration, potentially wreaking future havoc on American elections.
We all know how these future citizens will vote as well.

Facing dire polling numbers and a lack of left-wing enthusiasm for his “re-election” campaign, Joe Biden is considering taking an extreme measure that should send chills down the spines of any American who values liberty.
During an April 19 broadcast of the Fox Business Show The Bottom Line with Dagen and Duffy, co-host Sean Duffy revealed that the Biden White House told Fox Business that it is considering defying the Constitution and declaring a climate emergency. He then turned to his guest Marc Morano, a former Republican political aide who runs a climate change skeptic website called ClimateDepot.com, and asked him what impact it would have.
Morano cited an NBC News report indicating that if Biden declared a climate emergency, he would have COVID-like emergency powers. This would include the ability to implement the socialist Green New Deal along with up to 130 measures without approval from Congress.

Sean Duffy: The White House told Fox Business that it is now considering declaring a national “climate emergency.” If the President declares a climate emergency, what impact would that have?
Marc Morano: This is the serious story of the day. NBC News has reported that if Joe Biden declared a national climate emergency, he would have COVID-like powers under that emergency, and NBC also compared the climate emergency powers to the 911 emergency powers. The Center for Biological Diversity has estimated Joe Biden would get about 130 wartime-like powers by which to bypass democracy and impose the Green New Deal on America without a single vote of Congress.
This is truly a Halloween story, not a story for Earth Day. This is a truly frightening story, and he might just be desperate enough to declare it.
Bloomberg reports the unchecked powers “could be used to curtail crude exports, suspend offshore drilling and curb greenhouse gas emissions.” The Biden regime believes this would enable them to meet climate targets with the stroke of a pen despite the deleterious impact it would have on millions of American jobs.
Bloomberg also notes that some White House officials believe that declaring a climate emergency would also energize leftist climate voters months before the election.
White House spokesman Angelo Fernandez Hernandez played coy when asked by Bloomberg about the possible climate declaration.
“President Biden has treated the climate crisis as an emergency since day one and will continue to build a clean energy future that lowers utility bills, creates good-paying union jobs, makes our economy the envy of the world, and prioritizes communities that for too long have been left behind,” said Hernandez.

Irony struck in the Land of 10,000 Lakes on Monday when a Democrat politician was arrested for burglary after recently pushing to disarm citizens.
As the Minnesota Reformer reported, Minnesota State Senator Nicole Mitchell (DFL-Woodbury) was arrested Monday morning in Detroit Lakes and booked into the Becker County Jail for suspected first-degree burglary.
The Becker County Attorney’s Office is currently reviewing the report and has not determined yet whether Mitchell will be charged, according to KVRR.
Detroit Lakes Police Chief Steve Todd said at 4:45 a.m., a 911 dispatcher received a call from a startled homeowner on Granger Road who revealed that a burglar had broken into their house.
Officers proceeded to arrest Mitchell at the scene and transported her to prison, where she is listed on the jail’s roster.
Mitchell is in her first term as a DFL senator, having been elected in 2022. She serves as vice chair of the Senate State and Local Government and Veterans Committee.
Before entering public office, Mitchell was a TV meteorologist for KSTP and Minnesota Public Radio. She also served as a commander in the Air National Guard’s 126th Weather Flight.
Marc Kimball, the spokesman for the Senate DFL, released a curt statement saying he will not comment on Mitchell’s arrest.
The Senate DFL Caucus is aware of the situation and has no comment pending further information.
Before her arrest, Mitchell met with members of the far-left gun control group Moms Demand Action last Tuesday to push for “common-sense gun reform” and “safer communities.”

Of course, this is all Democrat code for disarming ordinary Americans.
Mitchell should count herself fortunate the homeowner did not use a gun to protect his home. Other burglars have been less lucky.

An exemplary student with a 100 GPA lost out on her dream school thanks to a racist and “subjective” DEI scheme rewarding less deserving students.
The New York Post reported Saturday that 14-year-old Kristina Raevsky, an eight-grade student in Queens, discovered on March 7 that she was rejected from Townsend Harris High School in Flushing because of a lottery system in NYC that placed her perfect test scores with kids who scored over 94.
She told the Post the news “shocked” her.
“I was shocked,” Raevsky said. “Everyone I told said, ‘How is this possible?’ And I told them, ‘I don’t know, it isn’t me that is the problem. The system is the problem.”
“Prior to the lottery, before COVID, my mindset was, ‘Well, I have a 100 average, I’m at the top of my class, I have perfect attendance, and I did well on the state tests,” she continued. “What could possibly go wrong?’”
Ravesky drew a lottery number that put her in the 72nd percentile of applicants despite her perfect grades. Former Mayor Bill De Blasio is primarily responsible for this.
The Post notes that before the COVID-19 pandemic, so-called screened schools like Townsend Harris utilized their own admissions criteria. They have traditionally used standards such as state tests, attendance, and letter grades when choosing their students.
However, in 2020, the communist de Blasio overrode their rights, canceling attendance, state tests, and letter grades as standards. Instead, he implemented a system where students with an 85 or above were entered into the same lottery pool to “diversify” selective schools.
Essays and video submissions became commonplace as a result.
In 2022, Mayor Eric Adams’s administration attempted a “fix” instead of abolishing the awful scheme altogether. They decided to narrow the top tier of kids to those with a 94 or above while restoring the screens, still leaving out impeccably qualified students like Raevsky.
During her interview with the Post, Raevsky astutely noted the difference between a 94 GPA student and a 100 one.
“I can tell you from experience that the difference between a 94 and a 100 is miles apart,” she told the outlet. “The 100 students are sitting there the moment something is assigned, thinking, ‘How am I going to complete this assignment? Let me start planning.’”
“The 94 student says, ‘Oh, I’ll come to the movies even though there’s a test two days away,’” she continued. “The 100 student says, ‘I’m sorry, but I can’t come. I’m studying.’”
In addition to being a world-class student, Raevsky has authored four books. Her latest, “Marriage or Espionage: Read Between the Lines,” is a fictional novel about a spy during the American Revolution.
Raevsky’s other books are “Fly Me to the Moon and Other Stories,” “A Sheep’s Tale – Young Patriot’s Guide to Saving America,” and “Wings.”
Raevsky told the Post she is now attending a private school, where she was offered a scholarship.
“I’m really glad I’m going to a private school,” Raevksy said. “I’m finally going to be in a place where I belong and am appreciated for my merit and my academic abilities.”

Wild and disgusting scenes were widespread during spring break at a popular island near Savannah, Georgia, with hordes of college-aged youths acting up.
As the Daily Mail reported, celebrations devolved into total mayhem at the annual Orange Crush gathering Saturday on Tybee Island, which is a barrier island and small city located 20 minutes from Savannah, as stunning videos show topless brawls and piles of garbage washing into the Atlantic Ocean.
The Orange Crush is an annual college spring break party on Tybee Island, which is held every April. It is popular with HBCU students, especially from nearby Savannah State University.
This year, more than 6,000 individuals, mostly HBCU students, flocked to the popular island to have fun, according to WSAV. There was also an increased police presence compared to recent years.
One video captured on X shows a huge fight erupting on the beach’s boardwalk as several young women violently slug and scratch each other while their tops fly off. Both men and women cheer on the combatants, with curse words flying.
Some young females stopped fighting at points and tried to put their tops back on. A lady in a green swimsuit continues to brawl even after her breasts are exposed.

A short female youth with orange hair appears to be the top instigator in the video. The woman can be seen yanking another one to the ground, exposing her breasts in the process, and starts hammering away. She also slugged the woman in a green bikini so viciously that her head snapped back.
A second video of the event, uploaded to Tiktok, shows the sheer amount of trash in the ocean left by the party revelers. Will we hear outrage from so-called environmentalists about this?

Despite the despicable actions of so many party-goers, Georgia state officials described the overall behavior as “pretty good.”
“The behavior has been pretty good today,” Major Bob Holley of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources told WSAV. “We’ve responded to a few medical calls with the Tybee medical authorities, and that’s pretty much the extent of what we’ve done today.”

The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) daughter Isra Hirsi was suspended from her inordinately expensive college after being arrested during a pro-Hamas protest at Columbia University last Thursday. Now, she’s homeless and hungry despite having a wealthy Democrat politician for a mother.
The 21-year-old Hirsi is a student at Barnard College, which costs $90,000 per year to attend. She calls herself an “angry black girl” with a communist hammer and sickle symbol in her X/Twitter profile.
Hirsi revealed during an interview with Teen Vogue that she has no place to sleep or stay after being evicted from Barnard campus housing and barred from using the dining hall.
“I was a little bit frantic, like, where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go?” complained Hirsi. “And also, all of my sh*t is thrown in a random lot. It’s pretty horrible.”
“I have like four shirts, two pairs of pants,” she continued. “I don’t know when I can go home, and I don’t know if I ever will be able to.”
Hirsi next told Teen Vogue she is having trouble finding food due to her suspension from Barnard College because she relies on the school for her meals.
“I sent them (Barnard administrators) an email like, ‘Hey, I rely on campus for my meals, I rely on my dining plan,’ and they were like, Oh, you can come pick up a prepackaged bag of food, a full 48 hours after I was suspended,” she whimpered. “There was no food support, no nothing.”
Hirsi further noted that she was zip-tied for several hours after being taken to 1 Police Plaza in Manhattan following her arrest.
“We had so many people who were born female in our group that they didn’t have enough space for us. It was a very slow process in getting everybody into the cells,” Hirsi whined. “I was zip-tied for about seven hours and wasn’t released for about eight.”
Hirsi also claimed Laura Rosenbury, the president of Barnard, was taking an overly aggressive approach to handling anti-Israel protesters compared to Columbia University’s president Minouche Shafik.
“I think it’s really on a school-by-school basis, and Barnard has decided to take a very egregious stand against us,” Hirsi said. “I think that they feel like there isn’t a big limelight on them right now and that they have the ability to do this because Shafik was on the congressional stage and is actively being harassed about what she’s doing, versus Laura Rosenbury, who has the ability to skirt what’s going on.”
Hirsi will remain without a home and will presumably be hungry until Monday. She is supposed to receive a hearing date from the school then.
“They told us that we would receive a date by Monday at noon, so I’m basically at least houseless until then,” she said.

A senior policy advisor in former president Barack Obama’s administration is facing potential jail time for crimes involving children.
The Daily Mail reported Sunday that 46-year-old Rahamim Shy was arrested by British police in Bedfordshire in late February. Court documents obtained by the Mail reveal Shy is accused of arranging the commission of a child sex offense.
Shy has also been charged with possession of two category C indecent images of children and possessing a prohibited image of a child.
The Mail reports he appeared at Luton Crown Court via video on Friday wearing a grey prison-issue tracksuit.
Shy is an American citizen who lives in New Jersey. He worked for the White House under Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. While working in the White House, Shy was responsible for directing the US government’s strategy to combat Islamist terrorists such as Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Shy specifically worked in a senior role at the US Treasury Department from 2008 to 2014, advising officials on countering the financing of terrorism and assisting foreign governments to impose sanctions on hostile regimes. This probably explains why he was brought into contact with Clinton since the State Department imposes sanctions on foreign powers.
He also provided strategic policy analysis to chiefs of staff at the Department of Defense (DOD)according to to the Mail.
As part of his work with the DOD, he went to Afghanistan to provide “expertise” to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), a NATO-led group responsible for maintaining stability following America’s invasion more than two decades ago.
After leaving the White House, Shy went to work for Citi Bank, where he held a variety of top executive positions according to his Linkedin page. A spokesman at the bank told the Daily Mail that Shy is no longer employed there.
Like a typical woke leftist, Shy’s pronouns are proudly displayed in his LinkedIn bio, as one can see below.
The Mail reveals Shy has not entered a plea at this time and is currently in police custody ahead of hearing in June. He is scheduled to go on trial in August.

A horrifying video has emerged showing the moment an evil Michigan caregiver assaulted a 93-year-old dementia patient, and the victim’s daughter is speaking out.
According to WEYI, the incident occurred at Landings of Genesee Valley in Flint, Michigan on April 4, but the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office obtained and released footage of the assault Thursday during a press conference.
The sick footage shows the perpetrator repeatedly smashing a full diaper over the elderly woman’s head while she sits in her wheelchair and raises her arms.
The sinister caregiver then chokes the woman in the bathroom before violently slapping her in the mouth. The footage concludes with the young monster raising her fists and threatening her victim.
WATCH:
The Genesee County Sheriff’s Office identified Dontia Shawnra Arrington as the person who assaulted the innocent old woman.
During the press conference, Sheriff Chris Swanson said the patient had no clue what was happening due to her severe dementia.
“She has no idea what’s going on,” he said. “She can’t process what we process on a regular basis.”
“You see the vulnerability of the victim and the fact that she’s getting hit with a two-to-three-pound soiled diaper,” he continued. “But if that isn’t enough when she brought her hand across her throat in a chokehold, that can kill people, especially a 93-year-old.”
The heartbroken victim’s daughter also spoke at the press conference. She was puzzled about how anyone could be capable of such malice.
“I’m watching, and all I kept saying was, ‘Why are you doing this to my mom?’ she told the press. “She’s 93, 5-foot tall, a little 130-pound lady, never been in a fight her whole life.”
“Horrified. Just horrified,” she added.
The daughter then revealed how they caught the assault on tape. She explained that her family planted the nanny cam in the room back in December to discover why her mother had been suffering bruises. It took a few attempts to catch the abuse.
The camera also caught staff stealing from her mom, who was a patient at the facility for around five years.
She noted her mom has since been transferred to another facility where she is receiving proper treatment.
Arrington has been charged with torture with intent to cause cruel or extreme physical or mental pain and suffering. This carries a sentence of up to life in prison.
She is also charged with vulnerable adult abuse, which is punishable by up to 15 years in prison, and assault with intent to cause great bodily harm less than murder or by strangulation. The latter carries a maximum penalty of 10 years.

A brave school girl in Pennsylvania unleashed on cowardly school officials while revealing in graphic detail how they allowed a transgender (Bio-Male) student savagely beat her friend to the point of hospitalization while woke school officials did nothing to stop it.
As Reduxx reported, the brutal assault took place at Pennbrook Middle School in North Wales, Pennsylvania on Wednesday, when the 13-year-old trans student going by “Melanie” blindsided her 12-year-old female victim in the school cafeteria using a Stanley cup. He smacked several times on the head, creating an open wound and causing her to bleed.
The 7th-grade girl had to be hospitalized and receive staples to close the cuts in her head before undergoing concussion protocol according to the Daily Mail.
During a school board meeting on Thursday, School Superintendent Todd Bauer called the horrifying attack “deeply disturbing’ in a statement. But a young friend of the victim’s was not having his nonsense.
The unidentified girl revealed she and others warned several teachers on Wednesday morning the assault was going to occur at lunch that day. She also noted she was second on the trans student’s hit list.
The school counselor dismissed her, telling her nothing would happen. The girl received word she would not be seeing “Melanie” for the remainder of the day.
But this was a lie. The girl revealed she was at lunch when she heard screaming and “everyone running” in panic.
She then went on to describe the assault in graphic detail:

The girl revealed “Melanie” snuck up behind her friend and began smashing her head with the Stanley cup. The trans student also pulled her hair and hit her against the table.
“I just hear all this screaming and everybody running. All of a sudden, you hear these terrible loud bangs of the Stanley bouncing off her head,” the student explained. And then you see Mel grabbing her hair and hitting her against the table and just repeatedly hitting her with the Stanley.
“There was blood going everywhere, she continued. “We had to sit in there and watch them clean up the blood off those tables and ground, and we had to watch them take her out with blood dripping down her face, and I will never forget that.”
The 7th-grader also revealed “Melanie” screamed “I’m going to murder you!” to her friend during the beating.
The girl then went off on school officials for their negligence.
“You could’ve stopped it!” the brave young girl said. “It was five hours from when I told you it was going to happen. I don’t get how you couldn’t have stopped that.”
The girl added once the attack began, it lasted 28 minutes, despite the school board claiming it was just eight minutes.
“We had to watch her taken out with blood dripping down her face, and I will never forget that! Laying in bed last night, I just kept repeating it in my head.”
Reduxx reported the biological boy had only recently been transferred into the school where the assault, having been reportedly expelled from his last school due to violent behavior. He also maintained a long “hit list” of girls he wanted to assault.
The school was well aware of the boy’s violent tendencies thanks to student warnings and had him solo-escorted into school every day. Despite this, woke school officials allowed him to use the female restrooms at the school and never lifted a finger to intervene when he acted up.

The Post reports that after the stabbing, several bystanders were shrieking in horror upon seeing one wounded man bleeding profusely on the floor.
“Somebody pick him up!” one witness yells. “He got stabbed!”
Some bystanders then picked up the injured male. He was passed over the fence to a group of males who put him in the ambulance.
Police arrived at the yacht to find multiple injured people, two with knife wounds. One 32-year-old male had been stabbed in the torso and a 40-year-old man was left with several stab wounds to the chest and abdomen.
A 28-year-old male also had been bashed on top of his head with a bottle while an unidentified, injured female was also put on a stretcher and was put in the ambulance. Police then evacuated the yacht.
One passenger, who identified himself as Java, told the Post everyone was having “a good time” until the end.
Here is the full video of the event along with the aftermath, including interviews with witnesses.
The Post reports the three wounded men were taken to NYU Langone Hospital. All are reportedly in stable condition. There is no word on the female’s health, however.
The other injured people did not require hospitalization.
Police say the brawl started after an unknown argument and began after the boat docked at the pier.
According to the Post, no suspects have been identified at this point.

The House of Representatives easily passed legislation Saturday that will lead to an inevitable ban on Chinese-run TikTok in America with 25 GOPers voting no.
The ban was tied to the vote on a $95 billion foreign aid package dominated by $60+ billion for Ukraine. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson and Cassandra MacDonald both noted, Democrats erupted in loud cheers and waved UKRAINIAN flags after the globalist sellout was complete.
The legislation theoretically does give an out to TikTok if it divests from China and the social media company is given up to a year to find a non-Chinese company as its new owner.
But the Chinese government is opposed to a sale with no evidence that minds have changed. Thus, the 170 million TikTok users in the U.S. can kiss their favorite social media platform goodbye in the coming months, barring a miraculous turn of events.
Courtesy of Newsweek, here are the 25 GOPers who voted against the ban. As one can see, the list is primarily mostly conservative Republicans rather than RINOS.

Video footage captured the moment Seattle police unleashed a hailstorm of bullets in self-defense on an alleged p*dophile trying to meet up with two young girls at a hotel, killing him.
KIRO 7 News revealed the incident occurred in the DoubleTree hotel on Southcenter Parkway in Tukwila, a suburban city located just 11 miles south of Seattle, after 3 p.m. Wednesday.
The brave police officers were conducting a sting operation against a 67-year-old man who was being investigated by the state’s Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce, according to to FOX 13 Seattle.
The suspect, a 67-year-old man, arrived at the hotel believing he would be meeting up with two little girls, 7 and 11 years old. Instead, he came face-to-face with three police officers waiting inside the hotel room.
In the footage below released by the Seattle Police Department Friday evening, you can see the police orchestrate the clever sting operation. Once the police identify themselves, the suspect starts to take out a gun, which proves to be his final mistake.
One police officer can be heard screaming, “Gun!”
The police quickly fire multiple bullets into the suspect, killing the man instantly. It’s not clear how many shots are fired, but one officer is seen loading another magazine into his firearm as FOX 13 Seattle notes.

The outlet reports the Force Investigation Team is now investigating the incident.

The Gateway Pundit reported last week that the House of Representatives passed legislation to continue their warrantless spying (H.R. 7888) on American citizens and give themselves a corrupt carveout from surveillance after hitting a snag earlier that week. They then passed a measure to Table the Motion to Reconsider the legislation on Monday.
The Democrat-run Senate unsurprisingly followed suit just after midnight Saturday, passing the spying bill, which will extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for two additional years, just minutes after it was scheduled to expire. The legislation now goes to Joe Biden’s desk, who will sign it into law.
NEW: Senate passes bill renewing key FISA surveillance power moments after it expires

The vote was 60-34. Via Senate.gov, here are the senators who voted to betray the Constitution.
As one can see, the 30 “Republicans” who voted for H.R. 7888 were: Barrasso, Boozman, Britt, Budd, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn, Cotton, Crapo, Ernst, Fischer, Graham, Grassley, Hyde-Smith, Kennedy, Lankford, McConnell, Moran, Mullin, Murkowski, Ricketts, Risch, Romney, Rounds, Rubio, Sullivan, Thune, Tillis, Wicker, and Young.
Before the final vote, the Senate defeated six amendments attempting to expand civil liberties in the process. This included an amendment offered by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) requiring the federal government to obtain a warrant from the FISA Court before spying on Americans’ private communications, which failed 42-50.

As Gateway Pundit readers know, a similar bill failed in the House by a 212-212 vote.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) gave a gloating speech on the Senate floor after the despicable bill’s passage.
“In the nick of time, bipartisanship has prevailed here in the Senate,” Schumer crowed. “It wasn’t easy, people had many different views, but we all know one thing: letting FISA expire would have been dangerous.”
“It’s an important part of our national security to stop acts of terror, drug trafficking, and violent extremism,” he continued. “Thank you to all my Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their good work in getting this done.”
As previously reported by Jim Hoft, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) revealed that Congress gave its members a special carve out in the FISA bill.
Via the legislation, here is the special gift that members of Congress are giving themselves:
Requirement: The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall promptly notify appropriate congressional leadership of any query conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation using a query term that is reasonably believed to be the name or other personally identifying information of a member of Congress, and shall also notify the member who is the subject of such query.
Congress gives itself a carve-out in the reauthorization of FISA 702 warrantless spying on Americans.
The bill requires the FBI to notify and seek consent from Congress before violating the privacy of Congressmen.
This will persuade many members of Congress to vote yes. pic.twitter.com/usKVeNnq3b

Residents of a California border town have kicked their woke trans mayor out of office amid the city’s struggles with serious social issues.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this week that 26-year-old Calexico mayor Raul Ureña, the first trans mayor in the Golden State, was facing a serious recall effort from residents fed-up with his so-called leadership. Calexico is a small, heavily Hispanic city in southern Imperial County that sits on the border of Mexico and California.
Calexico has experienced rampant crime rates and the emergence of homeless encampments. Ureña’s reign has left the downtown area in distress.
While a biological male, Ureña identifies as a transgender woman and uses she/they pronouns. He stopped using traditional suits as office attire in favor of low-cut dresses that showcase a still-hairy chest.
Ureña has described himself as “sexy as hell” on various occasions, according to the New York Post.
Now, he is probably feeling a little less self-confident. The Daily Mail revealed that nearly 74 percent of voters voted to recall Ureña on April 16, a massive landslide victory for sanity.
The news only got better when another radical-left Calexico politician also got the boot. The Daily Mail revealed Councilmember Gilberto Manzanarez, a supporter of Ureña, saw 73 percent of voters vote in favor of his recall.
4,933 total votes were cast in the recall, according to the outlet. What makes the landslide numbers against Ureña and Manzanarez more impressive is Republicans only make up 27 percent of the heavily Democrat city’s population.
58-year-old Maritza Hurtado, who worked as the former mayor for Calexico, led the recall of both Ureña and Manzanarez. She recently detailed a heartbreaking encounter on Facebook with a local business owner that was receiving no help despite the presence of drugged-up individuals hanging around her place of work.
I met another Calexico Downtown business owner yesterday who showed me these videos and, with tears in her eyes, asked, “What can we do?” These videos show two people in front of her store who are hunched over in a “zombie state” and frozen for a half hour! She got no help from the city.
I told her, ‘We are going to organize and push for a safer downtown TOGETHER.” I honor all my fellow downtown merchants who are struggling thru this nightmare situation, We have work to do! Vote YES on Recall!!! Vote SI.’
In response to the righteous backlash, Ureña refused to accept responsibility for his failures. Instead, he whipped out the transphobia card as the real reason behind the recall, citing alleged personal attacks and photos meant to discredit him.
“Predictable transphobia,” he whined.
Ureña also worried he might be more vulnerable if not in an elected position due to his “identity.”
“I might even be more vulnerable if I’m not in an elected position where people have elected me to represent a lot of people who don’t identify as LGBT,” he said.

West Virginia middle school girls on Thursday took a bold stand. They refused to compete against a biological male in a major track and field event just two days after the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a law that mandated competing in the category that matches biological sex.
As previously reported by the Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald, the federal appeals court claimed the law violated Title IX, the federal civil rights law that is supposed to protect female sports. The ruling was 2-1 and only applies to 13-year-old student Becky Pepper-Jackson, who supposedly began “transitioning” in third grade.
Outkick.com revealed that five teenage girls “stepped out” during a track and field meet at the 2024 Harrison County Middle School Championships on Thursday afternoon at Liberty High School in Clarksburg, West Virginia, to protest the inclusion of Pepper-Johnson. In doing so, they forfeited potential glory in exchange for fairness and justice.
Seven schools were at the meet: Bridgeport, Heritage Christian, Notre Dame, South Harrison, Lincoln, Mountaineer (Clarksburg), and Washington Irving. Pepper-Johnson competes for the Bridgeport Middle School girls’ track & field team in Bridgeport, West Virginia, specifically shot put and discus throwing.
The protesting girls compete for Lincoln.
In the video below, the five Lincoln girls’ team members step in and then step out to object to Pepper-Johnson’s inclusion during the shot put contest. They then did the same for the discus event.

Former NCAA champion swimmer and women’s’ rights advocate Riley Gaines shared her thoughts on X following the girls’ bold stand.
It’s a sad day when the middle school girls have to be the adults in the room. Conceding your event is so much easier said than done, but these girls have the tenacity and ability to stand their ground.
I couldn’t be more proud of their bravery and willingness to show their raw emotion. Girls and women have had enough.
If more individuals had a fraction of these girls’ bravery, the woke LGBTQ agenda would be on life support. But we live in a world full of cowards.

Shocking footage captured the moment a vile woman brutally murdered a young mother in a downtown Seattle alley.
As KIRO News reported, 33-year-old Rickesha Overton overpowered her victim, 20-year-old Alisia DeCoteau and forced her down the stairs of the 3rd floor of the Ellis Court Apartments and into the alley where DeCoteau drew her last breath.
The violent murder occurred on March 3, just after 1 A.M.. However, a journalist named Jonathan Choe leaked video footage of the crime just yesterday.
The video shows Overton forcing a terrified and screaming DeCoteau down a flight of stairs with a gun to her head. While marching down the stairs, Overton tells DeCoteau, “I’ll blow your mouth! Say I won’t! Say I won’t!”
Overton then opens the door and shoves her sobbing victim into the alley before going back inside for a few seconds. Once Overton returns, she yells at DeCoteau before shooting her twice at close range, including once in the head.

Overton next tries to unload even more bullets but cannot do so. Police detectives say she ran out of ammunition.
The deranged woman then starts kicking a lifeless DeCoteau several times while screaming, “B**ch you dead, B**ch you dead!” But Overton, for some reason, begins to think her victim is still alive and exclaims that she is still breathing.
A crowd from the alleyway then starts screaming at her in the background. Overton tells the nearby crowd, “That b**ch is crazy; she tried to kill me!”
Overton is about to return inside before the crowd screams at her again. She turns around and rushes toward them with her gun while screaming obscenities.
The video footage ends with Overton once again screaming and pointing her gun at the crowd, yelling, “I’ll blow your mother f**king brains out!”
KIRO 7 News notes this is not the first time Overton allegedly attacked DeCoteau. Police revealed they were called to the same apartment building on January 1 at roughly 2:35 p.m. and arrested Overton for assaulting DeCoteau.
While court documents did not describe the relationship between Overton and DeCoteau, family members confirmed to KIRO 7 News the two were friends on Facebook.
Overton is charged with first-degree murder and second-degree assault. Her bail has been set at $5,000,000.
DeCoteau leaves behind a one-year-old daughter, Mariah, who is now being cared for by her older sister, Jessica Ceja.

More Democrats (165) voted for the rule than Republicans. Still, a huge majority of GOPers voted to put America last.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, the bill delivers $95 billion in foreign aid to Ukraine, Gaza, Israel, and Taiwan, with the bulk of it ($60.84 billion) going to the Ukraine sinkhole.
Speaker Mike Johnson completely sold out to Joe Biden on the bill, who gleefully announced he would sign it into law.

All jurors, including the replacements and an alternate have been revealed in President Trump’s “Hush Money” trial.
As Jim Hoft reported, Fox News host Jesse Watters previously revealed seven of the jurors selected to serve in Trump’s “hush money” trial involving porn star Stormy Daniels. Two were dismissed after radical-left Judge Juan Merchan agreed they could not be fair to Trump.
But the jury pool is still tilted far to the left and even includes a woman who has called Trump “very selfish” and “self-serving.”
As Hoft notes, Merchan’s daughter is a top activist for Democrats and Joe Biden campaign. Judge Merchan is pushing charges against Trump that are not a crime. He needs jurors who believe like he does that Trump is guilty of a crime because he is still alive.
Here’s the FULL list of people deciding Trump’s fate. The following information is gathered from both Watters and The Daily Mail, which filled in the final details on the jurors:
The Foreman, juror number one, is an Irish immigrant who works as a salesman from West Harlem. He used to be a waiter, didn’t finish college, and loves the outdoors. He’s married with no kids.
He claims that he receives his news from the liberal New York Times, the Daily Mail, Fox News, and far-left MSNBC. Watters previously noted this was suspicious since he knew no one who watches both MSNBC and Fox News.
Juror Number Two. This is a replacement for one of the dismissed jurors, who admitted yesterday she could not be fair and impartial after being exposed by Watters.
This juror is a man who works as an investment banker, has an MBA in finance, and is similar to a liberal activist to an extent. He also has family members who are lawyers.
While he follows Trump on X/Twitter, he also follows Trump’s disgraced former lawyer Michael Cohen and his podcast and the leftist account Mueller She Wrote, which lionizes corrupt former FBI director Robert Mueller. He also closely follows news on Israel and Ukraine and receives his news from the New York Times.
The man enjoys hiking, music concerts, and exploring New York City in his spare time.
Juror Number Three is an Asian lawyer in his late 20s or 30s and is originally from Oregon. His corporate law firm features DEI on its homepage. He’s single, lives in Chelsea, and claims he’s not very familiar with Trump’s other charges.
He likes to hike and run and receives his news from the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Google.
Juror Number Four. This is the second replacement. The previous one was dismissed after it was learned he was previously arrested in the 1990s for tearing down Republican campaign signs.
The new juror is a security engineer originally from California who now lives on the Upper West Side. He claims he listens to comedy podcasts and several news organizations, though he declined to go into detail.
His hobbies include “various things,” such as wood and metalworking, but he spends the most time caring for his three children.
Juror Number Five is a black woman in her 20s originally from Harlem who has a Master’s degree and works a teacher. She’s unmarried, has no kids, and lives with her brother. She gets her news from Google and TikTok and listens to the leftist podcast The Breakfast Club.
She was evasive when asked whether she had a strong opinion of Trump. She only said, “There was a divide in the country, and I can’t ignore that.”
Juror Number Six is a recent college graduate in her 20s who works for Woke Disney. She previously made the courtroom laugh because she wanted to know if the trial would be over before September because she’s a bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding. She’s unmarried, has no kids, and likes to dance.
She lives with three roommates and gets her news from leftist outlets like the New York Times, Google, Facebook, and TikTok. But she claims she doesn’t have strong feelings about Trump one way or the other.
Juror Number Seven is a middle-aged, balding white guy with a tan and glasses. He lives on the Upper East Side and is another lawyer whose firm is big into DEI and ESG.
He’s originally from North Carolina, married with two kids, and his wife works at a bank. He gets his news from the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, the Washington Post, and NPR.
Regarding Trump, he said there were policies he agreed with and ones he disagreed with, but he didn’t have any particular opinions of the man personally. He says he is aware of the other lawsuits against Trump.
Juror Number Eight is a retired wealth manager who lives on the Upper East Side. He’s married with children.
His activities include using a flight machine, skiing, yoga, and meditation. His news sources are the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, and the BBC.
When asked if he has strong opinions or firmly held beliefs about Trump, he was hesitant. He paused before answering yes but claimed he would be impartial during the trial.
Juror Number Nine is a young white woman who lives on the Upper East Side. She has undergraduate and master’s degrees and works as a speech therapist.
Her hobbies include hanging out with friends, watching TV, eating at restaurants, and going on walks.
She says she doesn’t watch the news too closely but follows liberal news sources such as CNN Five Things, NYTimes Morning, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
The woman says she does not like most of Trump’s politics but asserts she can leave this “at the door” and be “fair and impartial.”
Juror Number 10 is a man who works in e-commerce for an eyewear company. He spends his time outdoors when not working.
The man says he doesn’t follow the news closely but reads the New York Times. He also listens to podcasts on behavioral psychology.
Juror Number 11 is a product development manager who lives in upper Manhattan and has blasted Trump as “very selfish” and “self-serving” but claims she can be impartial.
She pays attention to fashion publications for her job and also “watches” Google. Her hobbies include traveling and eating.
Juror Number 12 is a woman who has worked as a physical therapist for the past fifteen years. She runs, plays tennis, hikes, paddle boards, and listens to live music in her free time.
She receives her news from the New York Times, USAToday, and CNN.
The alternate juror is a woman who works as an investment analyst for an asset manager. In her spare time, she likes to run, hang out with friends and eat food.
She gets her news from the Wall Street Journal and New York Times.

Chinese hackers are preparing to launch a major attack on critical U.S. infrastructure and have already infiltrated multiple companies according to the FBI.
FBI Director Chris Wray revealed today China is developing the capability to cause significant damage to our critical infrastructure at a time of their choosing. The only question is the time to launch a catastrophic blow.
“China is developing the ability to physically wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure at a time of its choosing,” Wray said at the 2024 Vanderbilt Summit on Modern Conflict and Emerging Threats. “Its plan is to land low blows against civilian infrastructure to try to induce panic.”
According to Wray, an ongoing Chinese hacking campaign known as Volt Typhoon has successfully infiltrated several American companies in telecommunications, energy, water, and other critical sectors. 23 pipeline operators are being targeted.
According to Reuters, Wray went on to note that China’s hackers operated a series of botnets, which are constellations of compromised personal computers and servers around the globe to hide their nefarious cyber actions. Private sector American technology and cybersecurity companies previously attributed Volt Typhoon to China, including reports by security researchers with Microsoft and Google.
Reuters reports that a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson claimed the Volt Typhoon was unrelated to China’s government but is a criminal ransomware group.
China’s Embassy in Washington released the following statement in response to the MFA spokesperson’s comment.
Some in the US have been using origin-tracing of cyberattacks as a tool to hit and frame China, claiming the US to be the victim while it’s the other way around, and politicizing cybersecurity issues.
Some would argue that the operation may already be underway. Early this morning, there was a widespread outage involving 911 emergency numbers in four states: Nebraska, South Dakota, Nevada, and Texas.
Moreover, investigative journalist Lara Logan revealed that reliable intelligence sources have told her the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland last month was an “absolutely brilliant strategic attack” on US critical infrastructure.
From Logan:
Multiple intel sources: The Baltimore bridge collapse was an “absolutely brilliant strategic attack” on US critical infrastructure – most likely cyber – & our intel agencies know it. In information warfare terms, they just divided the US along the Mason-Dixon line, exactly like the Civil War.
The second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material is now down for 4-5 years – which is how long they say it will take to recover. Bridge was built specifically to move hazardous material – fuel, diesel, propane gas, nitrogen, highly flammable materials, chemicals, and oversized cargo that cannot fit in the tunnels – that supply chain now crippled.
Make no mistake: this was an extraordinary attack in terms of planning, timing & execution.
While the FBI may have identified a major national crisis afoot, they may also be a day late and a dollar short. Moreover, one should have little confidence the agency will be able to thwart such a significant attack from a hostile foreign adversary.

A transgender high school student (biological female) was arrested Wednesday for plotting a mass shooting at a high school in Maryland.
As WJLA reported, 18-year-old Andrea Ye, who identifies as “Alex,” was stopped by Montgomery County Police (MCPD) and federal officials after they discovered she was planning to shoot up Wootton High School in Rockville.
Police revealed that they discovered that Ye had authored a 129-page manifesto outlining how she would carry out this horrendous act of violence. Ye called the manifesto her memoir.
Below are sections of the manifesto from the charging document, which was obtained by Brad Bell of 7 News DC. It contains several sick statements, including Ye bragging about pacing around her room “like an evil mastermind” and revealing why she thinks high schools are the easiest targets for mass shootings.
She also boasts about wanting to set the world record for most kills in a mass shooting.
LOOK:
The manifesto was reportedly shared with Baltimore police on March 3 by a person who became acquainted with Ye at a psychiatric facility in Maryland. WJLA reports Ye began receiving mental health treatment in December of 2022 after multiple alleged threats.
In addition to the manifesto, police say they also discovered several internet searches that led them to arrest Ye. Moreover, she previously considered targeting an elementary school.
Montgomery County Public Schools released the following statement noting the “close collaboration” with the MCPD. They also revealed Ye had not physically attended an MCPS school since the fall of 2022.
The charges are extremely serious, involving alleged threats to harm others. We value and appreciate the close collaboration between Montgomery County Public Schools and MCPD in this matter, which is an example of our shared commitment to identify and address potential threats with due process before they materialize.
The student, who has not physically attended an MCPS school since the fall of 2022, has been actively participating in lessons through a virtual program called Online Pathways to Graduation.
Ye has been charged with threat of mass violence and is being held in the Montgomery County Detention Center without bond.

Leftist actor John Leguizamo had an epic meltdown concluding with him destroying a piñata on Tuesday night after discovering President Trump is making gains with Hispanic voters.
As Fox News reported, Leguizamo, who was serving as a guest host on The Daily Show, mocked a classic Trump 2020 campaign Spanish language ad before complaining about polls showing the 45th president’s growing popularity with Hispanics.
I mean, clearly, Trump isn’t making any effort to get Latino voters or make them a priority,” Leguizamo whined. “But the thing that hurts the most is that his lazy a** strategy is actually working.”
The show’s producers then played a CNN news clip showing Trump leading Biden by six points among Hispanics in one poll. This was the moment Leguizamo completely lost it.
“Excuse me for a second, please,” said Leguizamo as he grabbed a small piñata underneath his desk and dropped a flurry of Spanish curse words.
“Coño! Coño! P*ta! P*ta madre!” he yelled as he pounded and tore apart the inanimate object.
WATCH:
After finally calming down somewhat, Leguizamo warned the Democrats were in trouble for one big reason: Bidenflation.
“It looks like the Democrats are in trouble. And you might be thinking, how is this possible? Donald Trump is winning Latinos? ‘Build the wall’ Donald Trump? ‘Mass deportations’ Donald Trump?” he said.
The guy who thinks Daddy Yankee is a baseball player, Donald Trump? But the truth is, in 2024, Latino voters have something else on their minds,” Leguizamo continued.
“That’s right. For Latinos, this election is all about inflation! And that makes sense! Inflation is bad right now.”
Leguizamo is correct on this. Imagine the meltdowns on Univision and Telemundo if Trump wins in 2024 with heavy Hispanic support.

As the Gateway Pundit reported earlier, the Senate, at Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s urging, voted to dismiss both articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, who has presided over the worst border crisis in American history. In doing so, they upset 227 years of congressional precedent.
Both articles were rejected on a party-line vote, though Senator Lisa Murkowski (RINO-AK) voted present on the first one. The final vote to adjourn proceedings was also on a party-line vote.
Schumer absurdly argued before the votes that the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas violated the U.S. Constitution. He claimed they did not “allege conduct that rises to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor” as required under Article 2 of the Constitution.
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), however, was not having any of Schumer’s nonsense. Drawing on his extensive legal expertise, he destroyed the loudmouth New Yorker’s asinine argument against impeaching Mayorkas.

Transcript:
Madam President, as wrong as the Majority Leader was moments ago in making this particular point of order as to Article I of the impeachment articles, Article I, remember, refers to the willful defiance by Sec. Mayorkas of the law.
As wrong as he was in making that as to Article I, and he was very wrong for the reasons articulated moments ago by the Senator from Texas, he is even more wrong – far more so – with respect to Article II, because Article II accuses him of knowingly making false statements.
This is a violation of 18 USC Section 1001, a felony offense. If this is not a high crime and misdemeanor, what is? If this is not impeachable, what is? What precedent will we be setting? We need to address this; we need to discuss it in a closed session.
For that reason, Madam President, I move that the Senate proceed with a closed session to allow for deliberation on this very consequential point of order that he’s just made that violates hundreds of years of Anglo-American legal precedent and understanding on the question required by impeachment rule 24.
Following the Senate’s dismissal of the charges, Lee warned the Democrats by insinuating that turnabout would be fair play.
Today, Senate Democrats refused to do their constitutional duty. They let Mayorkas off for destroying our border, with no trial, throwing out over two centuries of precedent—and creating a new one.
We will remember this, next time Democrats want to remove someone from office.

House Education and Workforce Committee held a hearing beginning at 10:15 A.M. this morning titled “Columbia in Crisis: Columbia University’s Response to Antisemitism.” As the name suggests, the hearing focused on Columbia’s lackluster response to the threats Jewish students face on campus.
Columbia University’s president, Nemat Shafik, served as the star witness. She was originally asked to testify at the House Education and Workforce Committee’s hearing in December but had to back out allegedly due to “scheduling conflicts.”
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) stole the show when he showcased a guidebook the school used that deliberately spelled the word “folks” f-o-l-x. This misspelled word is a so-called “gender inclusive” term used by the woke left to “appeal” to the transgender community.
He also pointed out that the term “folx” was used in the school of social work, making this a university term.
When he asked Shafik about this, she was left completely stunned and befuddled. The only thing she could think of was that perhaps the authors did not know how to spell and nervously laughed.
She then laughably tried to deny this was an official document, but Banks would not let her off the hook. She eventually agreed with him that the term was inappropriate but continued to deny the school officially uses the term.
WATCH:
Wow! Rep. Jim Banks questions the President of Columbia, Minouche Shafik, on a woke guidebook sent out to all Columbia students:

Banks: Can you help me understand something else? I didn’t go to any Ivy League school. Can you explain why the word “folks” is spelled f-o-l-x throughout this guidebook and in other places in the school of social work? Serious question.
Shafik (stunned): They don’t know how to spell? I,I, uh, am not familiar with that (chuckles).
Banks: I don’t find it a laughing matter.
Shafik (confused): I’m not laughing either. I think it’s uh, uh…
Banks: You’re denying this is an official product, yet you are aware it’s being handed out to all of your students, and you’re not doing anything to stop it.
Shafik: It’s not an official product of Columbia University.
Banks: Is this how Columbia University spells the word, “folks?”
Shafik: No.
Banks: Is this an acceptable term?
Shafik (shaken): Congressman, I am, I’am with you (chuckles nervously) I,I, agree with you. I,I, don’t’ find this a meaningful way, uh…
Banks: This was handed out on your watch.
Shafik: This is not an official product of the University.
These screenshots below show that Columbia University also uses “folx” across its website. This means Shafik was completely clueless or lying during her testimony.

The United States Senate was supposed to hold the impeachment trial of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas beginning at 1 PM Eastern Wednesday. It actually proved to be a historically rapid dismissal by the Democrats.
As The Washington Post reported, the Senate at Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) urging voted to dismiss both articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, who has presided over the worst border crisis in America history.
Democrats voted along party lines on the first article of impeachment which charges Mayorkas with “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law,” finding the charge unconstitutional. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (RINO-Alaska) voted present.
51-48-1, Senate votes to kill the first impeachment article. Murkowski lone defector. She voted “present.” Schumer now wants to move to kill second impeachment article.

Democrats then found the second article charging Mayorkas with “breach of public trust” to be unconstitutional. Murkowski voted with her GOP colleagues this time.

As Townhall.com’s Spencer Brown notes, this move by the Senate upset 227 years of congressional history. Only once was an actual trial not held when an individual was impeached, and that was because an impeached judge resigned before the trial began.
From Townhall.com:
Last week, 43 Republican members of the United States signed a letter to Schumer highlighting the upper chamber’s “constitutional duty” that “requires the Senate to hold a trial.”
“In every previous congressional impeachment of the past 227 years, Congress has been faithful to the process set out by the framers,” the letter emphasized. “Never before has the Senate abandoned this duty, even when certain members believed the basis for impeachment was tenuous at best.”
“Since 1797, twenty-one individuals have been impeached by the House of Representatives,” the Senate Republicans’ letter further recounted. “Trials were held in every single instance, except once when an impeached judge resigned from office before the trial commenced. Absent Secretary Mayorkas’ immediate resignation, this impeachment should remain faithful to Senatorial precedent,” senators wrote.

A student earlier this week was caught on tape assaulting a North Carolina high school teacher during a vulgar diatribe. But the pupil is only being charged with misdemeanors despite the violent act.
The short video of the assault, which The North Carolina Beat first obtained, shows the youth confronting the teacher inside Parkland High School in Winston-Salem before viciously slapping her twice. He can be heard calling the teacher a “b*tch,” taunts her multiple times, and even drops the N-word.
The students behind the camera can be heard ooohing and laughing while the assault takes place.
Surprisingly, the teacher keeps her cool despite the pupil’s horrific behavior.

The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Superintendent Tricia McManus released a statement condemning Hickman’s actions.
This behavior will not be tolerated. At no time is it acceptable for students to put their hands on a teacher in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools.

On Tuesday, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) obliterated far-left Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm over lying about owning individual stocks and proclaimed her the face of “institutionalized corruption” at the department.
As the New York Post notes, Granholm last year admitted to delivering false testimony to the panel last April by claiming she didn’t own any individual stock.
Granholm, the former Democratic governor of Michigan, laughably claimed during the hearing she made a “mistake” and had no clue she owned several stocks when she took over as Energy Secretary. In other words, she said she did not know her own stock portfolio.
Granholm then claimed she informed the committee as soon as she realized her testimony was false. But Hawley was having none of her nonsense. He introduced a board with a timeline showing Granholm quietly sold her individual stocks and then waited nearly a month before writing to the committee.
Hawley continued to pepper her with questions that left her flustered and stammering, including one about stocks in at least six companies that she offloaded in May 2023. He also pounded her questions regarding the foreign billionaires funding the Energy Department conferences and whether she was actually running the department. This just made her more flustered and angry.
As one will see, the destruction was so through that not even Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) could save Granholm.

Relevant transcript:
Hawley: When you were here last, I talked with you about the fact that more than 130 officials in the Energy Department reported more than 2,700 trades of shares, bonds, and options, and companies that ethics officers said were directly related to the agency’s work. This is institutionalized corruption, and I asked you point blank if you own any individual stock, and you told me no.
It turns out that was false. You owned multiple individual stocks, and you neglected to report them to this committee for months afterward. Why did you mislead this committee?
Granholm: I believed that I had sold all individual stocks, and I was incorrect, so I came back…
Hawley: You just don’t know your portfolio?
Granholm: Um, pretty much.
Hawley: It’s a big one I guess, huh?
Granholm (chuckling nervously) No, it’s extremely small, um…
Hawley: Apparently not, for someone manages it for you?
Granholm: So I came back as soon as I found out that, in fact, I had not sold all individuals…
Hawley: That’s not true either. Let’s just look at the timeline. You testified you didn’t own any individual stocks, you didn’t sell the stocks for another month, and after you sold the stocks, you waited another month before you informed this committee.
Why did you mislead us, and what were you hiding?
Granholm: I did not hide it because I brought it forth to the committee when I realized that we had made a mistake…
Hawley: Really? What explains the delay? Why did you wait for a full month to explain your actions to this committee?
Granholm (hesitates a bit): Uh, that’s less than a month and I sent a letter explaining what had happened because I owned a Ford stock that was…
Hawley: You misled this committee. What were the stocks that you owned?
Granholm: It was a Ford stock that my husband had owned since he was very young, and uh, I was just not aware of it.
Hawley: And what were the others? You sold six stocks what were the other five?
Granholm (stammering): Uh, I sold, uh, non-conflicting stocks.
Hawley: What were they?
Granholm (hesitates and stammers again): I don’t, I don’t honestly (pauses briefly). I don’t even know….I do know the Ford one because that was a conflict that’s why I ran…
Hawley: You’re here before this committee a year later after actively misleading us after denying and delaying, and now you won’t tell us?
You sat on the board of directors at Protera. You made millions. And then you promoted Protera stock and Protera products as Energy Secretary. Was that one of the stocks that you sold?
Granholm (flustered): No! No!
Hawley: Really? You are presiding over institutionalized corruption in your energy department. You have violated the Stock Act nine separate times. You have been referred by the Inspector General for violations of the Hatch Act.
It is institutionalized corruption that you are now the face of! I just want to know who really runs the Energy Department. Is it you, or is it the mega-corporations whose stock that you own that you’re making profits?
Granholm (flustered): Oh my goodness!
Hawley: Or maybe it’s the foreign billionaires who fund your conferences. Do you know the names of the foreign billionaires who fund the conferences you go to since you don’t know the stocks? Would you happen to know the names of the foreign billionaires?
Granholm (angry): I don’t know what you’re talking about!
Hawley: You don’t know the stocks, you don’t know the billionaires, you take no responsibility. Meanwhile, executives in your Energy Department are trading stocks in companies that they have direct oversight over.
(Manchin later interrupts and tries to run interference for Granholm)
Hawley: Madam Secretary, all I have to say is this record is just deplorable. It is outrageous that hundreds of officers in the Energy Department are trading shares. It is outrageous that you misled us…This has got to change, and frankly, you should go.

One of the oldest truisms is that what is posted on the Internet never disappears. Far-left National Public Radio’s (NPR) new CEO probably wishes she had been aware of this before now.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today that far-left National Public Radio (NPR) suspended its senior business editor, Uri Berliner, for pointing out the network’s partisan reporting, particularly regarding its coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story. Now, several wild and wacky social media posts have emerged online exposing NPR CEO Katherine Maher.
Maher was named as NPR’s new CEO in January 2024, succeeding John Lansing. Prior to her role at NPR, Mayer served as the CEO of Web Summit and chair of the board of directors at the Signal Foundation.
She is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Multiple social media users, including conservative activist Chris Rufo, the Bulwark’s Marc Caputo, and former Ted Cruz aide Steve Guest, have uncovered Maher’s years-old tweets from the past two days. Some of her most shocking posts include her claiming that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld may be an alien lizard who eats Mexican babies, bragging about wearing a Biden grandpa hat and fantasizing about going on a crazy road trip with Kamala Harris.
She also posted tweets such as “We are not in fact baby factories for proclivities” and that “creeping sharia” would support a socialist agenda. Unsurprisingly, she also had several posts cheering on the BLM riots, with one referencing cheesecake. She even has a few posts whimpering about “whiteness.”

The United States Supreme Court is holding arguments in Fischer v. US, a case that could reduce criminal charges filed against more than 350 Trump supporters who participated in the US Capitol protest on January 6, 2021.
The Department of Injustice (DOJ) is using a statute called “obstructed a Congressional proceeding” to prosecute hundreds of these protesters simply for exercising their First Amendment rights. This statute is a serious felony with the potential of 20 years behind bars.
CNN notes that this case also has implications for President Donald Trump, who was charged by corrupt special counsel Jack Smith for exercising his First Amendment rights on that fateful day.
Justice Neil Gorsuch stole the show this morning by blowing up the foundation of the DOJ’s case against the nonviolent J6 protesters. While the Trump supporters simply exercised their freedom of speech, there were leftist individuals who committed actual felonies that the Biden regime gave a complete pass to.
Gorsuch threw out several meaningful real-life incidents involving these left-wing figures, including the unlawful sit-ins during a trial (which occurred during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing in 2018), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulling a fire alarm to prevent a critical vote to keep the government open, hecklers during the State of the Union, and so-called “mostly peaceful” protests (BLM riots).
Gorsuch asked Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar whether those actions would qualify for 20 years in prison. Prelogar tried to spin her out of the questioning. She claimed that the DOJ would need to prove “corrupt intent” and whether these incidents qualified as a “meaningful” disruption of the proceedings.
Of course, all of these incidents recounted by Gorsuch met those qualifications, meaning the leftists, including Bowman, should have received years in prison. But Prelogar could not really answer Gorsuch’s queries unless she wanted to admit defeat.
LISTEN:

Gorsuch was having none of Prelogar’s nonsensical spinning and pushed back. “We went around that tree yesterday,” he told her.
He then pinpointed the most asinine part of her statement. “So a mostly peaceful protest that disrupts an official proceeding for an indefinite period would not be covered?”
Prelogar responded by trying to bring up the BS “intent” excuse again before Gorsuch finally shut her down.
Joseph Fischer, a former Pennsylvania police officer who participated in the J6 protests, is the person who brought the case to the Supreme Court. His lawyers point out Fischer spent less than four minutes inside the building and advanced fewer than 25 feet.
DOJ prosecutors argue differently, though. They claim Fischer warned his police chief that things might get violent, and he texted that protesters should drag Democrats “into the street and have a mob trial.”
A grand jury returned a seven-count indictment against Fischer in March 2021, just two months after the attack. The indictment included charges of civil disorder, assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, as well as the obstruction charge. He faces at least 20 years in prison.
The case before the Supreme Court involves only that last charge as CNN notes.
The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported on the suffering of J6 protesters under the Biden regime. In addition to outrageous sentencing, some were assaulted by Capitol Police officers, denied medical care, and have been beaten in prison.
A ruling favoring Fischer could help right the injustices many have suffered, but the scars will remain permanent.

Rep. Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) speakership is in dire trouble after announcing his support for funding the war in Ukraine.
The Gateway Pundit reported last month Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to vacate the chair and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker thanks to his actions over the House Omnibus bill, which will fund the government until September 30.
Now, Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News has reported that Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) will co-sponsor MTG’s motion to vacate the chair.
NEW — TOM MASSIE said in a closed House Republican meeting that he’s going to cosponsor the motion to vacate, per several sources in the room.
— Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) April 16, 2024
Moreover, Massie told Johnson that the only way to avoid getting booted as Speaker was to “clean the barn and resign,” according to Sherman.
MASSIE told Johnson in front of the entire House Republican Conference that he should clean the barn and resign or else he’ll be vacated. https://t.co/hPMthGw9RW

Massie confirmed the news in an X post minutes ago.
I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate that was introduced by @RepMTG.
He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker.
— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) April 16, 2024
After a user asked Massie what Johnson had said in response, Massie revealed that Johnson had no intention of stepping down.
He said he won’t resign. I said to him that he is the only one who can prevent us from going through what happened last fall.
— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) April 16, 2024
What makes Massie’s support significant is the GOP only has a one-vote majority in the House thanks to the selfish early resignations by Kevin McCarthy (RINO-CA), Ken Buck (RINO-CO), and Mike Gallagher (RINO-WI) along with the stupid ousting of George Santos (R-NY). This means if every Democrat joined MTG and Massie in a motion to vacate, Johnson would be completely done as Speaker.
It appears more likely the GOP have another new round of House elections soon.

Radical left Blackrock CEO Larry Fink was caught on audio Friday completely losing his mind as red states cut off funds to his woke company, including the Texas Permanent School Fund’s decision to withdraw $8.5 billion last month.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, BlackRock is the largest asset management firm in the world, overseeing trillions of dollars worth of assets. It was founded in 1988 by Fink.
The company used to focus solely on risk management and fixed-income securities management but has since attempted to force companies across America to adopt a social credit system akin to Communist China focused on Environment and Social Justice (ESG) or face penalties. This includes forcing companies to go along with the radical left’s DEI agenda and pressuring firms not to fund coal and other fossil fuel projects.
Bud Light’s partnership last year is a textbook example of how this scheme works.
Will Hild, Executive Director of Consumers First, was the first to obtain audio of Fink losing his mind over Texas and other states defying his dangerous woke agenda.

Unfortunately, there are still others out there who put short-term politics and continuously lie about these issues. They are putting issues above the long-term fiduciary responsibilities.
As a fiduciary, politics should never outweigh performance!
In addition to Texas, Florida, Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, Utah, and West Virginia have divested from Blackrock.
With more red states likely to join, we can look forward to more tantrums from Fink.

Pro-Hamas protesters have blocked the road to arrivals and departures at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA), forcing passengers to leave their cars and walk on foot to the airport.

There is no word yet regarding whether any protesters have been apprehended. Because this protest is occurring in Seattle, arrests will likely not happen for several hours, if ever.
The protest is part of a globally coordinated protest as KOMO News notes. The agitators want the United States to force Israel to surrender to Hamas in the conflict and cut off funding to the Jewish State.
Earlier today, pro-Hamas agitators blocked off a road entering Chicago O’Hare Airport. At the same time, police did nothing, forcing some travelers to ditch their cars and walk to the airport. They also completely shut down the Golden Gate Bridge as police arrive to confront them in riot gear.
Agitators also shut down the Brooklyn Bridge and tried to occupy a road in Miami before cops took care of business.

Like their fellowcomrades across the country, the protesters in Miami want the U.S. government to stop sending Israel weapons to defend themselves against Hamas and cut off aid to the Jewish State completely.
Here’s what one protester told WSVN:
“After October 7, they have given more tax dollars, what we’re saying is that money could better be used to address the housing crisis in the US, the public education issue, the lack of accessible food and affordable housing, and better transportation,” whined protester Libra Sankara.
If every state were like Florida when dealing with unlawful protests, leftist clowns would think twice before attempting these publicity stunts.

Disgraced former 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley has landed a new job after dropping out of the 2024 Presidential race in disgrace.
Haley announced Monday on her X account that she has joined the Hudson Institute, a conservative foreign policy think tank. She wrote that she looks forward to working with the organization to push her neoconservative agenda.

The Hudson Institute revealed that Haley will serve as the next Walter P. Stern Chair. The institute created this new role to acknowledge the accomplishments of former Hudson Chairman Walter “Wally” Stern. He played a critical role in making Hudson one of Washington’s most prominent research organizations.
Hudson President and CEO John P. Walters crowed that he was “honored” Haley decided to join their team and called her a “steadfast defender of freedom.”
“Nikki is a proven, effective leader on both foreign and domestic policy,” Walters said. “In an era of worldwide political upheaval, she has remained a steadfast defender of freedom and an effective advocate for American security and prosperity. We are honored to have her join the Hudson team.”
Sarah May Stern, chair of Hudson’s Board of Trustees, called the new role “fitting” for Haley.
“It is fitting that Nikki has taken on this title,” said Stern. “She is a courageous and insightful policymaker and these qualities are vital in making Hudson the powerhouse policy organization it is today, and I am extremely proud that she has joined the Institute.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported Haley classlessly refused to endorse after leaving the race in an emotional farewell. Instead, she challenged President Trump to win over her supporters.
According to one poll, Trump is already winning over 10% of Biden voters.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that pro-Hamas agitators are blocked off a road entering Chicago O’Hare Airport while police are doing nothing, forcing some travelers to ditch their cars and walk to the airport. Now, they have completely shut down the Golden Gate Bridge as police arrive to confront them in riot gear.
According to KGO-TV, the protest started Monday morning on Northbound I-880 in Oakland where agitators blocked every single lane. They brought barrels onto the roadway and reportedly chained themselves to the barrels.
In the video below, the protesters can be seen holding signs reading “Stop the World for Gaza” and End the Siege on Gaza Now!”

Law enforcement has since cut the chains, but traffic remains backed up for miles into Marin County. It is unknown when the highway will reopen.
KRON-4 reports sidewalks on the bridge are also closed to bikes and pedestrians thanks to the illegal protest.

KGO-TV reveals the protests are a part of A15, a worldwide economic blockade in solidarity with “Palestine.” They want an arms embargo and an end to US taxpayer funding for Israel.
KRON-TV reports even more protests are planned in the Bay Area, further inconveniencing residents. One is scheduled at noon Pacific at UN Plaza and Market and Hyde streets in San Francisco by the Marxist, anti-military group Code Pink.
Another protest by the A15 group is planned at the Tesla Factory in Fremont, a possible troll of the company’s CEO (and X Owner) Elon Musk.

Pro-Hamas agitators are blocking off a road entering Chicago O’Hare Airport while police are doing nothing, forcing some travelers to ditch their cars and walk to the airport.
As ABC 7 Chicago reported, every lane is blocked on I-190 West between Bessie Coleman Drive and the airport.
The agitators are wearing signs reading “Free Palestine” and “Stop Genocide.” The group Chicago Dissenters, which helped organize the protest, claims they want the U.S. government to stop sending Israel weapons.
On this Tax Day, when millions are paying taxes which fund the ongoing U.S and Israeli bombardment of Gaza, protestors seek to take dramatic action, alongside other @a15actions organizers worldwide.
O’Hare International Airport is one of the largest in the country, and there will be NO business as usual while Palestinians suffer at the hands of American funded bombing by Israel.
The cops, unfortunately, are not doing anything to remove the protesters from the road at the moment.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Iran has officially launched kamikaze drones and missiles against Israel, a development that could spark an all-out war and draw in more countries.
As TGP readers know, Joe Biden’s appeasement of Iran and hostility toward Israel helped lead to this moment.
While Biden did cut his undeserved vacation short,, he decided NOT to speak to America tonight on the developing war.
Like the coward he is, Biden called a LID.

Trump responded by tearing apart Joe Biden this evening. He first pointed out that this attack would never have happened had he been president, a clear knock on Biden’s weak leadership.
He then mocked Biden for an alleged plan to release a taped speech instead of going live. Biden’s handlers were clearly afraid that he would humiliate himself in fornt of millions again.
Biden, on Israel, didn’t do his “Address to the People” LIVE. He taped it. This is no time for taped speeches!!!
After learning Biden would not be speaking at all, Trump claimed victory. He said this was because they got spooked by what he posted on Truth Social
AFTER READING MY TRUTH, BIDEN’S HANDLERS CONVINCED HIM NOT TO RELEASE HIS TAPED SPEECH ON ISRAEL. HE’LL NOW ATTEMPT TO DO IT LIVE, PROBABLY TOMORROW. HE DOESN’T WANT TO LEAVE HIS HOUSE, WITH THE CORVETTE, IN DELAWARE!!!
He closed by crowing about Biden returning to the White House tonight instead of tomorrow.

An attack was widely expected to occur after Israeli forces killed a senior officer in Iran’s embassy in Damascus last week.
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement Israel is "well-prepared" for the attack and will try to intercept the strikes.
We have prepared for diverse scenarios in advance. In order to intercept these launches, we have the circles of protection from both the Navy and the Air Force on several layers.
We are going to try to prevent them from reaching Israeli territory, that is our task. If they do enter Israeli airspace, then you will hear sirens and alarms wherever these threats enter and we will intercept them.
As Catturd helpfully reminds us, Biden's coddling of the Iranian regime also helped lead to this terrible moment.
Never forget the Biden regime recently released 8 billion dollars to Iran.

Chaos unfolded at the home of a Jewish law school dean this week after he invited pro-Hamas students for dinner.
As Berkeleyside reported, UC Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky and his wife, law professor Catherine Fisk invited roughly 60 graduating law students for a celebratory dinner at their home Tuesday in what they assumed would an uneventful evening.
But the occasion quickly went south when Malak Afaneh, co-president of Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine, rose to whine about the school’s investment in arms manufacturers for Israel. According to Berkleyside, she was joined by ten other students for the protest.
Afaneh opened with a Muslim greeting to mark the final night of Ramadan before proceeding with her rant.
Chemerinsky interrupted her and repeatedly demanded she vacate the premises. “Please leave! No. Please leave. Please leave,” he said.
Fisk then got physical with Afaneh. She is seen trying to snatch the Islamist agitator’s cellphone out of her hand as she filmed, pulling at her clothing, including her hijab, and angrily putting her arm around Afaneh as she pushes her to leave.
“It is not your house. It is my house! And I want you to leave!” Fisk says.
WATCH:
Fisk then threatens to call the police before saying she prefers not to.
Afaneh threatened legal action in response before the three-minute altercation finally ended after she and the other protesting students walked out of the yard.
Chemerinsky defended trying to force the despicable protesters to leave in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, pointing out that their actions were not protected by the First Amendment.
“No one has the right to come into my house, or yours, and disrupt a dinner,” Chemerinsky explained. “As a matter of constitutional law, this is absolutely clear.”
UC Berkeley spokesperson Dan Mogulof released a statement Thursday denouncing the unruly protest and expressed sympathy for Chemerinsky.
I am appalled and deeply disturbed by what occurred at Dean Chemerinsky’s home last night. I have been in touch with him to offer my support and sympathy.
While our support for Free Speech is unwavering, we cannot condone using a social occasion at a person’s private residence as a platform for protest.
Afaneh told KQED she was left shaken by the incident and was upset that Fisk dared to lay hands on her.
“No one thought that this woman would put her hands on me,” she said. “I didn’t expect this reaction, of course. I didn’t expect it when it happened. I didn’t even get the chance to talk about Palestine or UC complicity.”

Requirement: The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall promptly notify appropriate congressional leadership of any query conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation using a query term that is reasonably believed to be the name or other personally identifying information of a member of Congress, and shall also notify the member who is the subject of such query.
Congress gives itself a carve out in the reauthorization of FISA 702 warrantless spying on Americans.

On Wednesday night, Joe Biden hosted a state dinner for Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishidaw with several elitist leftists in attendance as guests, including one infamous couple.
As the New York Post reported, Bill and Hillary Clinton showed up alongside several Big Tech billionaires, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Apple CEO Tim Cook. The Post notes the Clintons were joined at the head table by deranged actor Robert De Niro in the White House East Room.
Upon arrival, Hillary caught some unwanted attention online with her choice of clothing during the event. As one can see in the photo above, she is wearing what appears to be a bizarre Moo-Moo dress, somewhat resembling a shower curtain.
Conservative commentators Benny Johnson and Ian Miles Cheong asked their followers for their thoughts on Hillary’s outfit, betting they would get colorful responses. Not surprisingly, they had some brutal replies in store.

O.J. Simpson passed away at the age of 76 today after a battle with cancer.
His family shared the breaking news a short time ago on X.
On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace.

As TMZ notes, news of Simpson’s battle with cancer first emerged in February but details were cloudy at the time. Moreover, Simpson claimed back in 2023 that he had “caught” some form of cancer but believed he had beaten it.
Few individuals have ever experienced the fall from grace O.J. Simpson experienced in his years alive.
Simpson emerged into the spotlight as an all-American running back for the USC Trojans and won the Heisman trophy his senior season in 1968, along with the Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award. After graduating, he was selected by the Buffalo Bills as the number one overall pick in the 1969 draft.
Simpson spent the next nine seasons with the team before spending the last two with the San Francisco 49ers. He retired as the 2nd all-time leading rusher in NFL history (he is now 21st). He was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
He then embarked on a movie career, starring in all three Naked Gun movies alongside the legendary Leslie Nielsen. Simpson also worked as a commentator for Monday Night Football and The NFL on NBC.
But everything changed forever on June 12, 1994 when his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were found brutally murdered. Five days later, all TVs were focused on the most infamous Bronco chase in American history, when Simpson eventually surrendered to police and was charged with their murders.
Thanks to prosecution missteps and world-class gaslighting by a defense team led by the late Johnnie Cochran, Simpson was found not guilty of murdering Brown Simpson and Goldman on October 3, 1995.
Here was the moment:
Simpson was later found liable for the murders in civil trial and ordered to pay millions of dollars in damages (which he never did).
But Simpson experienced what many consider a bit of karma several years later. In 2007, he was accused of breaking into a Vegas hotel room in an attempt to recover sports memorabilia that he believed had been stolen from him. He confronted the owner with several of his cronies, armed with weapons.
On December 5, 2008, Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison with eligibility for parole in nine years. On July 20, 2017, Simpson was granted parole.
He remained in Vegas after getting out of prison where he remained until his death.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) attended an event at Booker T. Washington High School in Houston where she got confused on astronomy and made a brutal moon gaffe. Now, her attempts to blame others for her misfortune are blowing up in her face.
While addressing the crowd before the eclipse on monday, Jackson Lee claimed the moon is mainly made up of gases, which is laughably false. This gaffe becomes more inexcusable when one realizes she used to sit on the House Science Committee and the House Space Committee.
Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases, and that’s why the question is why or how could we as humans live on the Moon? Are the gases such that we could do that?”

Instead of taking responsibility, Jackson Lee responded to the outcry by blaming REPUBLICANS for her brutal error.

Jim Hoft previously reported that the House of Representatives appeared poised to pass legislation to continue their FISA warrantless spying on American citizens and even gave themselves a corrupt carveout from surveillance.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, FISA was used to spy on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign illegally.
But in a surprise move Wednesday, 19 House Republicans joined with Democrats to block the move to start debate on a bill to reauthorize the nation’s warrantless spy program. The move came after Trump urged Republicans to “KILL FISA.”
The vote to advance Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) failed by a 193-228 vote.
Here are the 19 heroes who defied the establishment and stood with the American people:
Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.)
Rep. Dan Bishop (N.C.)
Rep. Lauren Boebert (Colo.)
Rep. Tim Burchett (Tenn.)
Rep. Michael Cloud (Texas)
Rep. Eli Crane (Ariz.)
Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.)
Rep. Bob Good (Va.)
Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.)
Rep. Clay Higgins (La.)
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (Fla.)
Rep. Nancy Mace (S.C.)
Rep. Cory Mills (Fla.)
Rep. Ralph Norman (S.C.)
Rep. Andy Ogles (Tenn.)
Rep. Scott Perry (Pa.)
Rep. Matt Rosendale (Mont.)
Rep. Chip Roy (Texas)
Rep. Greg Steube (Fla.)
Section 702 is set to expire on April 19 if Congress fails to act. Speaker Mike Johnson has called the spy program “critically important,” ignoring the grave constitutional concerns associated with it.
As previously reported by Hoft, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) revealed that Congress gave its members a special carve out in the latest version of the FISA bill.
Via the proposed legislation, here is the special gift that members of Congress tried to give themselves:
Requirement: The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall promptly notify appropriate congressional leadership of any query conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation using a query term that is reasonably believed to be the name or other personally identifying information of a member of Congress, and shall also notify the member who is the subject of such query.

Shocking footage has emerged showing a helpless white female Greenwich High School student being brutally assaulted by multiple youths while witnesses loudly cheered and recorded the attack.
The Connecticut Centinal reported the incident occurred in Byram Park in Greenwich, CT, around 8:25 pm on April 9th.
The footage starts with the victim getting beat up by two individuals. They kick, punch, and drag her across the ground while onlookers gleefully yell and start taping the assault.

The beating briefly ceases, and the girl sits up while being surrounded by an angry mob. She then utters what witnesses claim is the N-word, and the onslaught resumes.
Two other youths began violently punching her until she lay unconscious on the ground. The unruly crowd can be heard demanding the beating continue and laughing before someone regains a semblance of humanity and screams, “Chill chill, chill.”
One youth can be heard exclaiming “that b**ch got knocked the f**k out!” while others laugh and suggest she got what she deserved for supposedly saying the offending word. The group then left.
The Connecticut Centinal reported the victim was transported to the hospital following the attack where she was treated for injuries.
Greenwich Police have not publicly identified any of the suspects or spoken about the nature of the altercation. The incident is currently under investigation.
Witnesses and others with information regarding this assault are being urged to contact Detective John King at 203-622-8052.

Video footage on Tuesday emerged showing the moment when plainclothes Chicago police officers unloaded nearly 100 gunshots during a traffic stop last month, killing a man and subsequently leading to negative anti-cop coverage. However, the narrative of police killing an innocent man runs counter to the facts.
As the New York Post reported, 26-year-old Dexter Reed was killed during a March 21 traffic stop in Humboldt Park on West Ferdinand Street after officers in an unmarked cop car pulled him over for failing to wear a seatbelt.
The wild footage opens with a female officer and four others approaching Reed’s vehicle while he rolls down the window. But he refuses to exit his SUV despite the policewoman angrily ordering him to do so several times.
The officers then back up, and a major shootout subsequently erupts, sending her scrambling.
“Shots fired! Shots fired!” the female officer yells. “Alert the neighbors!”
She and her fellow officers then fire several more bullets before stopping.

Reed is next seen on the ground near the rear passenger wheel of his car, which is full of bullet holes. The policewoman calls for an ambulance and reveals an officer has been shot.
The cops handcuff a motionless Reed and say that “he started shooting at us” while trying to locate his gun.
The corporate media, though, wasted no time slanting an anti-cop version of events. CNN, for example, ran a segment that was very sympathetic to Reed after the footage leaked.
The liberal outlet interviewed members of his family and the family attorney but did not bother to interview a dissenting voice. The attorney alleged without evidence that the cops conducted an unconstitutional search while the family members mourned Reed’s loss and painted him as an angel.
How did a traffic stop for not wearing a seatbelt end with 96 gunshots, an injured officer, and a dead 26-year-old? Some say it was because Dexter Reed fired at officers first, as the initial investigation shows. Some believe the stop never should’ve happened in the first place. pic.twitter.com/1Yg7fhVjZB

Meanwhile, here is how the far-left Washington Post decided to slant their coverage of the incident. Note the racial angle involved:
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability, however, revealed that evidence showed Reed had fired first during the shootout. One police officer was shot in the hand during the exchange.
Four other officers then returned fire, killing Reed. All told, 96 bullets were fired in 41 seconds.
“Available preliminary evidence also confirms that officers returned fire approximately 96 times over a period of 41 seconds, including after Mr. Reed exited his vehicle and fell to the ground,” COPA said.
In other words, this is a case of self-defense by the police officers.
But their actions are under investigation. Communist Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx said Tuesday that her office would determine whether the officers’ use of force was warranted or necessitated criminal charges.
It would not come as a surprise if these cops are punished and fed to the mob despite Reed opening fire first.

A far-left Democrat Congresswoman has suggested she is supportive of one the most shocking forms of racial discrimination: exempting black people in America from having to pay taxes as a form of reparations while other racial groups have to fork over money to Uncle Sam.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made the suggestion to host Jehan “J” Carter on ‘The Black Lawyers Podcast’ last week, as the Daily Mail reported.
When Carter asked Crockett about reparations for black people, she told the host, “I don’t know, that’s not necessarily a bad idea” and that it may not be as objectionable to simply handing out money to people.
She goes on to argue that reparations in some form are necessary. “We end up being so far behind,” she whines.
Crockett then admits that the no-tax scheme may face challenges because poorer blacks are not paying taxes to begin with. She agrees with Carter that poorer blacks may just want checks from the government, like what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic.

TRANSCRIPT:
CROCKETT: Just this past week I saw, I don’t remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity, and I was like, I don’t know that that’s not necessarily a bad idea, but I’d have to think it through a lot,” she began in a clip circulating social media. One of the things that they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time.
But at the same time, it may not be as objectionable to some people about actually giving out dollars. But obviously, then you start dealing with the different tax brackets and things like that, and that’s one of the reasons that you know, we argue that reparations make sense because so many black folks — not only do you owe for the labor that was stolen, killed and all the other things, right? — but the fact is, we end up being so far behind.
If you do the no-tax thing for people that are already, say, struggling and not paying taxes in the first place…
CARTER (laughing): They may want those checks like they got from COVID…
CROCKETT: Exactly!

Sickening video footage has emerged showing the moment a Colorado woman who assisted children with disabilities brutally assaulted a special needs child while he was strapped into a harness on a bus. Even worse, the suspect has already been released from prison on bond.
As KUSA reported on Tuesday, Kiarra Jones, a bus aide with Littleton Public Schools, was caught on tape striking a nonverbal 10-year-old boy during the incident, which occurred on March 18. The outlet noted the footage was acquired as part of an investigation after one unnamed parent raised concerns about noticeable bruising on their child.
The students on the bus were being transported to The Joshua School on a bus provided by Littleton Public Schools, according to KUSA. Because they are nonverbal, they could not tell anyone about the beating.
The footage opens with Jones seated next to the little boy. After a few seconds, Jones elbows the child in the midsection and then smacks him in the face with her fist.
Jones then concludes the assault by stomping on his feet.

KUSA notes that while Jones was arrested on April 4 as a result of the incident, she is already out on bond as a free woman.
Attorney Qusair Mohamedbhai, who represents at least two families whose children ride the bus, released the shocking video to the media on Tuesday and had strong words for school districts failing to protect special needs children.
“The abuses of special needs children continues to occur because school districts treat this community as a burden rather than a blessing,” he said. “School districts routinely fail to train and support those who work with special needs student populations.”
KUSA reveals that while a background check shows this in Jones’s first arrest, authorities are investigating more abuses potentially involving her. An Englewood Police detective wrote in an affidavit that he personally witnessed child abuse on February 13 and March 1.
Englewood Police in a statement Tuesday also said more than one student was assaulted.
Littleton Public Schools released a statement to families of the school children on Tuesday afternoon. They claimed Jones was fired on March 19, the day following the incident, saying they do not tolerate “this kind of behavior.”
This kind of behavior cannot be and is not tolerated. As parents, you trust us with the well-being of your children and you should never have to worry about them being harmed when they are in our care.
The school district also said Jones did not have much access to students during her time of employment.

An illegal alien from Mexico who walked across the open U.S.-Mexico border last month committed one of the most heinous crimes imaginable.
As Fox News reported Thursday, 33-year-old Baltazar Perez-Estrada walked into the Carol Stream Police Department in Illinois on April 1 at 11:30 A.M. and informed them that he had stabbed his 26-year-old wife, Maricela Simon Franco, to death.
The incident occurred on March 31 at 10 p.m. when Perez-Estrada and Franco argued. Perez-Estrada was infuriated when he found out his wife had a boyfriend about two weeks after he crossed into the U.S., according to Law and Crime.
Perez-Estrada proceeded to stab Franco dozens of times in her head, neck, body, and hands in front of their two young children. Prosecutors revealed the attack was so brutal that Franco was nearly decapitated.
Franco was pronounced dead at the scene.
Prosecutors also discovered that the violent alien crossed into the United States from Mexico before the murder. But instead of being sent back, Perez-Estrada was just given a notice to appear before a court and allowed him to continue his journey.
DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin released a statement mourning Simon Franco’s death and expressing condolences to her loved ones.
“First and foremost, I offer my sincerest condolences to Maricela’s surviving family and friends on their loss and wish them strength as they continue their lives without the love and support provided by Maricela,” Berlin said.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) posted a statement on X slamming Joe Biden and disgraced Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for contributing to this evil crime via their open border policies:
Biden is letting monsters in our country. Animal is too nice of a word to describe this man. He’s a monster.
Mayorkas is running the open border that is letting these things in America. When we deliver the articles, Schumer better hold a trial.

Over three dozen lots of hand sanitizer and aloe gel are reportedly being recalled because they contain a highly poisonous substance that can cause severe health issues, including blindness and coma.
The FDA said Friday that Aruba Aloe Balm N.V., which is based in Oranjestad, Aruba, is “voluntarily” recalling 40 lots of Aruba Aloe Hand Sanitizer Gel Alcohol 80% and Aruba Aloe Alcoholada Gel. These products contain alcohol modified with methanol.
As the FDA notes, exposure to methanol can lead to nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, coma, seizures, permanent blindness, permanent damage to the central nervous system, or death. The people most at risk for methanol poisoning are children who accidentally ingest these products and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute.
Aruba Aloe Balm N.V. claims it has not received any reports of adverse events connected to the use of its products.
Aruba Aloe Hand Sanitizer Gel is used as a sanitizer to help reduce bacteria that can potentially cause disease. It is packaged in 12 fl oz green plastic bottles with white labels reading in part “ARUBA ALOE Hand Sanitizer GEL 80% Alcohol Made in Aruba World’s Finest Aloe.”
Aruba Aloe Alcoholada Gel is designed to provide temporary relief of pain and itching associated with minor burns, sunburn, insect bites, or minor skin irritations. It comes in 2.2 and 8.5 fl. oz clear bottles.
The affected Aruba Aloe Hand Sanitizer GEL product lots are the following:
The affected Aruba Aloe Alcoholada Gel product lots are as follows:
According to the FDA, the products were distributed between 5/1/2021 and 10/27/2023 and sold in the US online via the Aruba Aloe Balm N.V. website. The Aruba-based company is notifying the customers who bought the products via email and offering a discount coupon for a future purchase.
The FDA is urging customers to discontinue using the products and to throw them away. The agency also says customers affected by the product should contact their doctor or healthcare provider.

Here is a full video report From Fox 2 Detroit on the incident:
Thomas Huber, one of the witnesses to the shooting, gave a timeline of events to FOX 2 Detroit detailing how the incident unfolded.:
“I was just eating a bowl, and I heard shouting. And then I looked over, they’re arguing. One of the workers went to the back, I don’t know why, and then when he was in the back, the customer walked around the counter, tried to grab his food and put it in a bag,” Huber said.
“Then the employee came back, and they started fighting, and then we heard a gunshot and just ran out as quick as we could,” he continued.
After being shot, the employee was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound in his leg. Southfield police say the man is currently in stable condition.
Police identified the suspect as a 31-year-old man from Detroit. He was taken into custody shortly after fleeing the scene.
It is unclear at the moment what charges the suspect will be facing.

Viral video footage has emerged showing the moment a former high school wrestler and current welder named Gabriel Pitzulo took matters into his own hands when he saw a vicious thug assaulting an innocent female Subway employee.
As Fox News reported on Friday, the incident occurred at a local Subway shop on March 22 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The video footage opens by showing the suspect throwing items at the employee just as Pitzulo walks into the sandwich shop. The former wrestler springs into action when the suspect starts storming out of the Subway.
He grabs the lowlife thug and takes him down with a hard tackle. He then pins the suspect to the ground, and they grapple for several seconds before the perp is finally subdued.
A witness in the background can be seen making a call, presumably to the police, before the video cuts out.

Police later showed up and took the suspect into custody.
On Thursday, Pitzulo was invited as a Fox and Friends First guest to discuss what transpired. He first revealed more details about how nasty the suspect behaved.
Watch the latest video at foxnews.com“It was just another normal day at work, I was going to my local Subway where I go all the time,” Pitzulo told the hosts. “As I walked in, it was pretty hectic. People yelling, it was kind of loud.”
Pitzulo revealed the suspect also spit on the employee in addition to throwing objects at her. He told them that was the moment he decided to slam the suspect to the ground and hold him while witnesses locked the door and contacted the cops.
The former wrestler added there were “some words back and forth” between him and the suspect for a few minutes until law enforcement arrived. When the police got to the Subway, they let Pitzulo help them handcuff the perp.
“The cops got there. I helped him put the cuffs on, and they thanked me and told me what I did was very brave,” Pitzulo said.
Pitzulo closed with a message for young men in his situation: ignore the garbage talk regarding “toxic masculinity” and stand up for folks who cannot help themselves. In other words, men need to start being men again.
“I haven’t really been turning down interviews because I do want to get this out there for the young men. There’s a lot of talk nowadays of toxic masculinity, and I’m really trying to, you know, push this narrative that you should stand up for the people, innocent people, people in your local neighborhood. And, you know, that’s kind of what I take from it,” he said.
WRTV reports the suspect, Daniel Saunders, was charged with battery injury, battery resulting in bodily injury and disorderly conduct-fighting/tumultuous conduct.

One of America’s most popular dollar stores is closing its doors thanks in large part to the garbage Biden economy.
As Fox News reported, 99 Cents Only, which has locations across California, Nevada, Texas, and Arizona, will begin shuttering its 371 locations today as the company moves toward total liquidation.
99 Cents Only is considered one of America’s leading dollar store chains, along with Dollar General, Dollar Tree (which owns Family Dollar), and Five Below.
The company released the following statement Thursday announcing the sad news:
99 Cents Only Stores, together with its financial and legal advisors, engaged in an extensive analysis of all available and credible alternatives to identify a solution that would allow the business to continue.
Following months of actively pursuing these alternatives, the company ultimately determined that an orderly wind-down was necessary and the best way to maximize the value of 99 Cents Only Stores’ assets.
Mike Simoncic, 99 Cents Only’s interim CEO, called the decision “extremely difficult.” He blamed various factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, shifting customer tastes, inflation, and “other macroeconomic headwinds,” for the demise of the dollar store chain.
Of course, Joe Biden’s big government policies are directly responsible for persistent inflation and an unfriendly business environment.
“This was an extremely difficult decision and is not the outcome we expected or hoped to achieve,” said Simoncic.
“Unfortunately, the last several years have presented significant and lasting challenges in the retail environment, including the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, shifting consumer demand, rising levels of shrink, persistent inflationary pressures, and other macroeconomic headwinds, all of which have greatly hindered the Company’s ability to operate,” he continued.
99 Cents Only was founded in 1982 by David Gold and is currently based in Commerce, California. The company employs approximately 14,000 workers who will now have to begin to search for new employment.
99 Cents Only is famous for humorously advertising that it is open “9 days a week” and often invokes funny commentary on holidays with products sold for 99 cents. It also celebrates the 99th birthday of public figures and names 99-year-old individuals as honorary spokespersons.
Newsnation reports that an official closing date has not been announced by the company yet.
