'No Kings' Terror? Fake Cop Assassinates Minnesota Democrat Who Blocked Health Care for Illegals

A man posing as a police officer carried out a politically motivated attack in Minnesota, fatally shooting Democratic state representative Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in what Gov. Tim Walz called "an act of targeted political violence." The gunman also wounded another Democratic lawmaker and that lawmaker's wife.

"Our state lost a great leader, and I lost the dearest of friends. Speaker Hortman was someone who served the state of Minnesota with grace, compassion, humor, and a sense of service," Gov. Walz told reporters at an early morning news conference, adding, "She was a formidable public servant, a fixture and a giant in Minnesota. She woke up every day determined to make this state a better place. She is irreplaceable and will be missed by so many."

The second politically motivated attack targeted State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, both of whom were shot multiple times and required surgery, according to Walz.

According to law enforcement officials, the gunman attempted to assassinate Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, roughly 90 minutes after killing Hortman and her husband.

"The unidentified suspect, who had a list of other targets, fled on foot after engaging in a firefight with officers outside Hortman's home," ABC News reported.

Dan Bongino, the FBI deputy director, wrote on X that the federal agency "is fully engaged on the ground in Minnesota and is working in collaboration with our local and state partners."

Former Trump aide calls for ‘America first’ over Israel

The interests of the US and Israel are not necessarily the same in the ongoing escalation, Steve Bannon believes

The US should pursue its own interests rather than those of Israel, Steve Bannon, a former aide to US President Donald Trump, has said, warning that the new escalation in the Middle East could potentially drag Washington into a war with Iran.

Bannon made the remarks to the Financial Times on Saturday, suggesting that the interests of the US and its closest ally in the Middle East were not necessarily the same in the current crisis.

“They [the Israelis] are Israel First; we need to always be America First,” he said.

“In Jerusalem they should reflect on the message of Christ: live by the sword, die by the sword.”

When asked whether he feared the US could ultimately be dragged into a war against Iran, the former Trump ally said he was “very much” wary of such a scenario.

The Israeli military launched a major attack on Iran early on Friday, striking nuclear facilities and military installations across the country. It also launched targeted assassinations which killed several senior military commanders and high-profile nuclear scientists. West Jerusalem claimed the attack was a preemptive measure aimed at preventing the allegedly imminent production of a nuclear bomb by Tehran.

Iran retaliated by launching a major ballistic missile and drone barrage at Israel, vowing to continue strikes for as long as it deems necessary. Tehran has repeatedly denied it had been harboring any plans to pursue a nuclear weapons program, insisting its uranium-enrichment activities have been serving strictly civilian purposes.

The Israeli attack on the Islamic Republic comes after five rounds of US-Iranian talks on the country’s nuclear program. The negotiations have effectively stalled and failed to produce any tangible result. Following the attack, Tehran said the continuation of dialogue with Washington was “meaningless.”

US President Donald Trump claims to have known about the impending Israeli strikes beforehand, and lauded them as “very successful.” Trump suggested Tehran brought the attack upon itself through its reluctance to strike a nuclear deal with the US.

“We gave them a chance, and they didn’t take it. They got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you’re going to get hit. And there’s more to come. A lot more,” he said on Friday, commenting on the attack.

2025 Bilderberg Meeting Attendees Revealed: Global Elites Convene In Secret Amid Global Chaos

Bilderberg’s 71st meeting kicked off in Stockholm, Sweden Thursday, where global elites convened behind closed doors amid tensions across Europe and the Middle East, and against the backdrop of President Donald Trump’s assault on their favorite thing of all time; globalism. The shadowy group, which was founded in 1954, infamously bans media and enforces a code of silence, fueling concerns of hidden agendas and backroom deals shaping the world’s future.

Israel Attack Targets Refinery At Iran's Giant South Pars Gas Field

A fire broke out at Kangan Port in Iran’s Bushehr province following an Israeli drone strike targeting on onshore refinery at Phase 14 of the South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf on Saturday. It was the first attack by Israel specifically targeting Iran's critical energy sector.

“Phase 14 of the South Pars gas field was targeted by a strike from the Zionist regime,” Fars news agency reported.

As a result, “parts of this phase caught fire, and fire trucks are currently working to extinguish the blaze,” the agency said.

The news agency, citing local sources and witnesses, said the attack was carried out using a small drone resembling a UAV.

The fire at the refinery at Phase 14 has halted production from one of its offshore platforms, amounting to 12 million cubic meters per day, Tasnim reported adding that firefighters have prevented the blaze from spreading to other units.

The strike caused a powerful explosion and fire, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, adding that a separate fire also broke out at the Fajr Jam gas refinery, which processes gas from South Pars as well as the Nar and Kangan fields and is one of Iran’s largest refineries.

"FCC Complaint Filed”: X Users Slam CBS For Acting As PR Megaphone For 'No Kings' Color Revolution

Leftist propaganda outlet CBS is now playing PR agent for the dark money-funded 'No Kings' color revolution, disguising its promotion as a report on protest 'merchandise'—which, it notes, is conveniently cropping up for sale on Amazon, Temu, and other online retailers.

CBS reports:

Hundreds of t-shirts, hats, signs and posters are for sale across the internet alluding to the demonstrations. On China-based Temu.com, a seller shipping goods from a U.S.-based warehouse offers a t-shirt reading "No Kings in America" and featuring the statue of liberty and American flag for $5.20.

On Amazon, a search for No Kings yielded 1,000 results. Much of the merchandise available on the e-commerce giant's site is printed on demand, meaning not in stock. Sellers print t-shirts or make the goods as soon as they are ordered to avoid sitting on unwanted inventory.

By the end of the report, the leftist propaganda outlet informs readers about today's nationwide protests and directs them to the 'No Kings' website.

Also on Friday, U.S. Congressional Republicans, led by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), launched a formal investigation into dark money NGO networks tied to a China-based billionaire that is suspected of funding far-left color revolutions in the U.S. with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

CBS' X post was heavily ratioed, with many users disgusted by the media outlet's promotion of "radical left destabilization campaigns."

Tucker Carlson blasts Trump over Iran attack

In what he described as possibly his “final newsletter before all-out war,” Carlson – a key Trump ally during the 2024 presidential election – argued that the US was “complicit in the act of war.”

“While the American military may not have physically perpetrated the assault, years of funding and sending weapons to Israel, which Donald Trump just bragged about on Truth Social, undeniably place the US at the center of last night’s events,” Carlson wrote.

“Washington knew these attacks would happen. They aided Israel in carrying them out. Politicians purporting to be ‘America First’ can’t now credibly turn around and say they had nothing to do with it,” he added.

In a post on X, Carlson contended that “the real divide” is not between supporters of Israel and Iran, but “between warmongers and peacemakers.”

“Who are the warmongers? They would include anyone who’s calling Donald Trump today to demand air strikes and other direct US military involvement in a war with Iran,” he said.

‘Perverted logic’ to call Israeli attack on Iran self-defense – Russian diplomat

West Jerusalem has carried out “a very dangerous provocation,” Dmitry Polyansky has told RT

In his interview on Saturday, Polyansky accused Western politicians claiming that Israel’s attack on Iran was “self-defense” of having “very perverted logic.”

“Of course, every country has the right to defend itself. But in this case, Israel launched an aggression – an attack against Iran – totally violating and breaching the UN Charter and international law… I cannot imagine how it can be framed as legitimate self-defense,” he said.

The authorities in Moscow “totally support the Iranian position… that this is absolutely inadmissible and that nobody should be permitted to act as Israel does,” the diplomat stressed.

The attack on Iran is “a very dangerous provocation against international law, against everything that really keeps our world together, and it can trigger very-very serious consequences regionally and internationally,” he warned.

According to Polyansky, the goal of the Israeli strike was to “undermine” the US-Iran nuclear talks, the next round of which is scheduled to take place on Sunday.

Dear MAGA: It's Time to Call Out Trump's Warmongering—Blind Patriotism Is Not Patriotism at All

History is watching, and anyone supporting this push toward war is on the wrong side

Once branded the "antiwar" candidate, Donald Trump is now openly cheering on Israel’s deadly escalation against Iran — and even Tucker Carlson is calling it what it is: a betrayal. If anyone is still under the illusion that Trump is here to stop endless wars, it’s time to take off the MAGA blinders.

In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump bragged about how Israel was using “the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR” — a reference to U.S.-supplied weapons that helped launch a deadly series of Israeli strikes on Iran, killing senior Iranian military leaders. Iran has since retaliated, and now the world sits on the edge of an all-out regional war — with the U.S. deeply implicated.

Former Trump ally Tucker Carlson is sounding the alarm, writing that “Washington knew these attacks would happen. They aided Israel in carrying them out.” Carlson minced no words, stating bluntly: “Trump is complicit.”

Tucker didn’t stop there. In his newsletter titled This Could Be the Final Newsletter Before All-Out War, he warned of the familiar neocon script now playing out again — only this time with MAGA voices like Mark Levin cheerleading from the sidelines, demanding war with Iran based on the same tired lie about nuclear weapons. “There is zero credible intelligence that suggests Iran is anywhere near building a bomb,” Carlson wrote. “None. Anyone who claims otherwise is ignorant or dishonest.”

Yet here we are again. Another administration, another chorus of Washington war-pigs banging the drums — with Trump, the former peace candidate, leading the parade.

Let’s be clear: a war with Iran won’t be another Libya or Iraq. As Carlson noted, Iran is aligned with BRICS, armed with ballistic missiles, and backed by serious allies. This wouldn’t be a “surgical strike.” It would be a catastrophe. It would kill thousands of Americans, crater the economy, and possibly ignite a third world war. And yet, Trump brags while Israel bombs.

Where are the liberals now? The same people who claimed Trump was going to start World War III over a tweet are suspiciously quiet as Biden’s foreign policy and Trump's current rhetoric converge in dangerous and bipartisan fashion. Funny how the party of peace goes mute when their own roadmap to Tehran is being followed — just under a red hat instead of a blue one.

This war talk isn’t new. Plans for conflict with Iran have been simmering for decades. Trump may have campaigned as an outsider, but his latest support for this escalation puts him right in line with the same military-industrial complex he once railed against.

Even Mollie Hemingway from The Federalist warned that giving Israel the green light for these attacks would be “an unforgivable betrayal.” She’s right. This isn’t leadership — it’s servitude to a foreign agenda that’s dragging Americans into another unnecessary war.

You don’t have to support the Iranian regime to recognize that launching another regime change war in the Middle East is national suicide. And you certainly don’t have to be a leftist to demand consistency from a man who once ran on “America First.”

But here’s the saddest part of it all: even as Trump marches in lockstep with the very neocon warhawks he once denounced, many of his most loyal followers will still be out there waving flags, chanting “USA! USA!,” and begging for war. They’ll cheer blindly as our sons and daughters, our brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers are sent off to die in a conflict their so-called antiwar president swore he’d never start.

The bottom line? Trump isn’t ending wars — he’s prolonging and provoking them. And anyone still cheering him on while he helps fuel this disaster will one day have to answer for what comes next.

USAID Official Pleads Guilty After $550m Bribery Scheme Uncovered.

A former U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) official and three corporate executives have pleaded guilty in a decade-long bribery scheme involving more than $550 million in government contracts. Two contractors—Apprio, Inc. and PM Consulting Group LLC (d/b/a Vistant)—admitted criminal liability and agreed Thursday to deferred prosecution deals with the Justice Department.Roderick Watson, a former USAID contracting officer based in Maryland, admitted to accepting bribes from corporate executives in exchange for steering contracts to Apprio and Vistant. He was bribed with cash, electronics, luxury suite basketball tickets, mortgage payments, and favors for relatives. The bribes were often funneled through Paul Young, president of a subcontractor working with both companies.Walter Barnes, president of Vistant, and Darryl Britt, president of Apprio, also pleaded guilty. Barnes admitted to both bribery and securities fraud. In 2022, he and Watson misled a small business investment company into issuing a $14 million loan to Vistant, enabling Barnes to pay himself a $10 million dividend. In 2023, Britt fraudulently induced a private equity firm to invest $4 million in Apprio while concealing years of bribery.“Watson was entrusted to serve the interests of the American people—not his own,” said U.S. Attorney Kelly Hayes. “His criminal actions for his own personal gain undermine the integrity of our public institutions.”Justice Department Criminal Division Chief Matthew Galeotti added: “Their scheme violated the public trust by undermining the integrity of the federal government’s procurement process.”Watson faces up to 15 years in prison at his October 6 sentencing. Barnes, Britt, and Young each face up to five years when sentenced later this year. Apprio will pay $500,000 and Vistant $100,000 under civil settlements.The case comes after President Donald J. Trump gutted USAID, as the agency was spending vast sums of taxpayer cash on woke projects across the globe.

THEY DID IT AGAIN! U.S. Treasury just bought back another $10 Billion of its own debt

🚨: United States Treasury

THEY DID IT AGAIN! U.S. Treasury just bought back another $10 Billion of its own debt, matching the largest Treasury buyback in history (and that was from last week)!

Phone use kills focus and rewires the brain for distraction. The collapse in reading habits is linked to smartphone addiction and memory loss.

Something quiet and corrosive has taken hold. Focus is vanishing. Attention span is collapsing. Not because of exhaustion or complexity, but because of something more subtle. Every few minutes the hand reaches for the phone. It is not a conscious decision. It just happens. The brain no longer knows how to sit still.

This is not just distraction. This is rewiring. Constant phone checking reshapes the brain’s ability to think deeply. It shortens thought loops. It rewards novelty over substance. Tasks that once took an hour now take a day. Even when there is no alert, the mind keeps expecting one.

Studies from Harvard and Stanford show a consistent pattern. Just having a phone nearby reduces cognitive performance. It shrinks working memory. It weakens problem solving. The brain splits its attention even when no one is actively using the device. The cost is invisible but real.

This erosion does not stop at work. It bleeds into everything. Reading a book feels harder. Finishing a thought becomes a challenge. People report feeling anxious when away from their phones, and more anxious when using them. It is not the content that creates stress. It is the constant interruption.

Phone use drives cortisol higher. Sleep becomes lighter. Recovery becomes slower. Mental exhaustion grows even when doing less. The average adult now checks their phone over 250 times a day. That is not communication. That is compulsion.

The apps are built to hook. Notifications are timed to interrupt. Infinite scroll is designed to keep the mind half awake and never present. This is not accidental. The attention economy profits from cognitive damage.

What disappears next is control. Without even noticing, people lose the ability to choose how to spend time. Tasks are left unfinished. Thoughts are left hanging. Books sit unread. Conversations feel scattered. Everything becomes fragmented.

There is a path back but it requires resistance. Remove the phone from the desk. Read real books. Use a notebook. Rebuild attention like a lost skill. Focus returns slowly and with effort. But it does return.

Once attention is reclaimed, stress drops. Sleep deepens. Memory improves. Work quality rises. But most will not choose this path. Most will stay on the scroll. The damage will deepen.

This is not a generational problem. It is not about discipline. It is a full scale cognitive environment. Escaping it takes structure, not strength. And once out of it, the contrast becomes sharp. Noise fades. Thought becomes sharper. Time slows down. The mind feels whole again.

GOP state rep. arrested on child pornography charges linked to account 'joebidennnn69'

A South Carolina representative faces child sexual abuse charges, federal prison time, and a new challenge to his district seat.

Federal prosecutors are pressing charges against a South Carolina Republican lawmaker following a months-long investigation into heinous pornography allegedly depicting children as young as toddlers.

Republican state House Representative Robert John "R.J." May has been charged with a 10-count indictment for allegedly distributing child sexual abuse material. He was arrested on Wednesday after months of speculation surrounding the search of a house belonging to May in August 2024 by Homeland Security officers.

Prosecutors have demanded that May not be given bail because he lives at home with his wife and two children, who are allegedly close to the same age as the children in the case.

He has never publicly addressed the speculation about the search, as one political opponent, Brian Duncan, said in an interview.

“We thought that R.J. May would probably come out a long time ago … and just say something about the search,” he said. Duncan has launched a last-minute write-in campaign in May's South Carolina District 88 in light of the latest developments in the investigation of May.

Report: U.S. Quietly Sent Israel Hundreds of Hellfire Missiles While Touting 'Diplomacy'

The US was shipping hundreds of Hellfire missiles to Israel while President Trump was out touting his push for "diplomacy" with Iran, according to a new report.

From The Middle East Eye, "Exclusive: US quietly sent hundreds of Hellfire missiles to Israel before Iran attack":

The US quietly delivered hundreds of Hellfire missiles to Israel before its unprecedented attack on Iran on Friday, Middle East Eye can reveal.

The US sent around 300 Hellfire missiles to Israel on Tuesday in a large-scale stock-up of supplies before its attack, and as the Trump administration was saying it was ready to continue engaging Iran in nuclear talks.

The transfer of such a large quantity of Hellfires suggests that the Trump administration was well-informed of Israel's plans to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran, two US officials told MEE on the condition of anonymity.

The US's delivery of Hellfires or other large quantities of weapons in the lead up to Friday's attack has not been previously reported.

The US military helped shoot down Iranian missiles that were headed towards Israel, two US officials told Reuters on Friday.

This is not all that surprising considering Trump rearmed Israel during their so-called negotiated "ceasefire" with Gaza only for the Jewish state to swiftly break the ceasefire and accelerate the genocide.

Ronen Bergman a New York Times "journalist" who "formerly" served in Israeli intelligence claimed in Ynet back in January that then President-elect Donald Trump had "already promised" Netanyahu that he would support Israel "retroactively" if they decided to violate their ceasefire with Gaza after signing a peace deal.

Now, according to the Israelis and seemingly Trump himself, we know his Iranian nuclear deal was also just a ruse to get them to take their guard down.

Democracy at work–90% of Americans reject war with Iran- Yet ZOG US is up to its neck in it

https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1933330290094809184

The Bilderberg Group’s 2025 meeting in Stockholm this week raised eyebrows by listing “Depopulation” among its main discussion topics.

On the group’s website, the topic “Depopulation and Migration” appears alongside 10 other topics, including “US Economy,” “Authoritarian Axis,” and [Nuclear] “Proliferation.”

Kevin Barrett - Will Americans Support "War on Iran for Israel?"

"So the U.S. is on the brink of falling apart. There might be some in the Zionist circles of the Trump administration who imagine that somehow Trump could play the role of a macho, fearless leader and try to unite the country in a big war. But I think they're probably even a minority within the administration. The majority of Trump support comes from people who see through these wars for Israel, who are sick of them, who don't want more losing wars, like the catastrophes in Iraq and Afghanistan under the neocons."
