The Left prides itself on being the side of logic, reason, and science, painting anyone who disagrees with them as irrational and denying the truths revealed by science. Yet every day their actions seem to belie these claims as they promote positions that are contrary to fact, or attempt actions that have no possibility of working. If they are so logical and science-based, these things raise the question of why?
The Biden administration has tethered federal school lunch funding to compliance with gender identity ideology, including whether a school allows boys to use girls restrooms and locker rooms. The move comes as the Biden administration is using heavy-handed measures to enshrine gender ideology into federal law. Biden’s Department of Agriculture announced earlier this month that in order for schools to receive funds for student lunches, breakfasts, and other food items, it must comply with its interpretation of the ban on discrimination based on sex in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and other food-related programs, which includes sexual orientation and gender identity.
A Russian lawmaker went on state TV to say President Vladimir Putin could destroy “the entire East Coast of the U.S.” with only a pair of their Sarmat missiles, known as the Satan 2. Russian politician Alexie Zhuravlev then said it would only take two of their Satan 2 missiles to destroy the West Coast, according to a report from the British newspaper The Sun. “Four missiles and there’ll be nothing left,” he said. “They think the mushroom cloud will be taller than a high rise. That mushroom cloud will be visible from Mexico.” According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Sarmat missile is about 115 feet
General Paul Nakasone, who heads U.S. Cyber Command and leads the NSA, said the US had conducted 'offensive' operations in Ukraine amid Russia's invasion. Nakasone made the statement as the U.S. prepares to send military rocket systems to Ukraine, and as President Joe Biden outlined both the purpose and the limits of US military support for Ukraine in an op-ed. 'We've conducted a series of operations across the full spectrum; offensive, defensive, [and] information operations,' Nakasone told Sky News in an interview.(Snip)'We went in December 2021 at the invitation of the Kyiv government to come and hunt with them.

A California task force has released a report calling for 'comprehensive reparations' for African American residents, that include free four-year college, payouts, and raising the minimum wage in predominantly black industries, such as agricultural. The more than 500-page document consists of 13 chapters and breaks down reparation suggestions for the eligible black community in California to compensate for the 'racial terror' they've endured. The task force voted in March to limit reparations to descendants of slaves, overruling reparations advocates who wanted to expand compensation to all black people in the US.
Minneapolis—The chant in Arabic blasted from rooftop loudspeakers, drowning out both the growl of traffic from nearby interstates and the chatter and clinking glasses on the patio of the dive bar that shares a wall with Minneapolis’ oldest Somali mosque.(Snip)This spring Minneapolis became the first large city in the United States to allow the Islamic call to prayer, or adhan, to be broadcast publicly by its two dozen mosques.(Snip) As more of them get ready to join Dar Al-Hijrah in doing so, the transforming soundscape is testament to the large and increasingly visible Muslim community, which is greeting the change with both celebration and caution,
As inflation has been knocking the wind out of Democrats' midterm strategy, the Biden White House has turned to pop culture icons and TikTok influencers to drum up support among its key voter base - young people. And while strategists say that such forays into the world of celebrity -- like bringing K-pop group BTS to the White House -- often deliver a momentary boost, even young voters are not soon to forget that everyday goods are being priced out of their budget. Biden, a self-professed K-Pop fan, invited the global supergroup to the White House Tuesday to talk about combatting Asian hate crimes.
Former First Lady and ex-presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton stepped out on the town Wednesday for the first time since her campaign attorney was acquitted of lying to the FBI when sending agents dirt on Donald Trump's alleged links to a bank backed by Moscow.Clinton, 74, was seen walking the streets of New York City on Wednesday, wearing a long, colorful striped coat that ran down to her knees, as well as black pants and blue high heels.She was seen wearing a black KN95 facemask as she walked outside, flanked by a Secret Service agent.At one point, Clinton could be seen talking to a young supporter who
Former Democratic Kentucky state Rep. Charles Booker appeared to be pinning his hopes to defeat incumbent Sen. Rand Paul (R) in the November election on race-baiting in a new campaign ad so misleading USA Today fact-checked it.Posted to his social media accounts Wednesday, the new ad from Booker’s campaign begins with a content warning due to its “strong imagery.”It then opens on a noose dangling from a tree and then in front of the U.S. Capitol before later appearing wrapped around the politician’s neck as he proclaims, “The pain of our past persists to this day.”“In Kentucky, like many states throughout the South, lynching was a tool of terror.
Kathleen Buhle said she finally has "total control over my life" five years after her 24-year marriage with President Joe Biden’s son Hunter ended.The ex-wife of the man, who is now at the center of an investigation surrounding his laptop, said her marriage was one rocked by addiction, infidelity, and shame, according to excerpts from her book If We Break published Wednesday by People."My greatest shame was feeling like my identity was not my own," Buhle, 53, said, according to the interview. "It was in writing this book that I realized probably the heaviest weight was that I first had to forgive myself for not believing in myself."

Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook's parent company Meta, has announced that she is leaving the business after 14 years.
Ms Sandberg announced her departure in a Facebook post, saying she hoped to focus on her foundation and philanthropic work going forward.
Her departure comes as Meta faces a slowdown in advertising sales and more competition from rivals such as TikTok.
Ms Sandberg is one of the most high-profile women in the tech industry.
"When I took this job in 2008, I hoped I would be in this role for five years," wrote Ms Sandberg, known as a powerful second-in-command at the company.
This just ain’t fare. The MTA’s communications team selectively edited a video to make it look like a “latte-sipping” middle-aged woman was scamming a ride by sneaking under a subway turnstile in a bid to claim that well-heeled New Yorkers and not just violent vagrants are fare evaders. But according to a full clip of the incident obtained by The Post, the customer made at least one attempt to swipe her MetroCard before being forced to crawl under the turnstile when it apparently failed to register. “We have countless images of people in designer clothes, carrying $7 lattes, waltzing through emergency gates at Wall Street
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday struggled to answer simple questions on inflation. “When are you guys going to admit that you were wrong about inflation?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre after peppering her with questions about the baby formula shortage.
“No easy questions today, huh?” Jean-Pierre shot back. “The Treasury Secretary said that she was wrong, so why isn’t anybody here at the White House–” Doocy said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday told a gun control rally that Democrats will plan to push legislation banning 'assault weapons,' in what would be the most aggressive response so far to last week's elementary school massacre that killed 19 children.Republicans have signaled their opposition to restricting the general availability of guns - and some opponents say there is no workable definition for 'assault rifles.'But with the nation once again wondering why America must suffer so many mass shootings, politicians on both sides are under pressure to act.Speaking at an anti-gun violence event in her home town of San Francisco, Pelosi reeled off a long list of actions.
Monica Lewinsky, 48, likened the Johnny Depp v.

During a campaign event on May 21, Texas Democrat gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke expressed his belief that Americans who own AR-15s should not be able to keep them. On May 31, FOX News highlighted the comments as part O’Rourke’s ongoing effort against the guns. In the comments, O’Rourke stressed his position that no one should be able “to purchase an AR-15 or AK-47,” and added, “I don’t think that the people who have them right now in civilian use should be able to keep them.”
The Biden administration has refused to send warplanes to Ukraine but is now planning to equip Kyiv with some of the most modern and deadly long-range drones, according to people familiar with discussions. The plan would involve selling four MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones—a more powerful version of the unmanned Predator aircraft and capable of carrying eight Hellfire missiles—for battlefield use against Russian forces. The sale of the General Atomics-made drones could still be blocked by Congress, according to sources who said the plan has been discussed at the Pentagon for weeks.(Snip)Training on the UAV system made by General Atomics usually takes months,
Officials in the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) have released reports that squarely place the rate of inflation on President Biden’s stimulus efforts during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The CBO notes that President Biden is culpable for the record-high inflation creating undue pressure on America’s workforce in its latest annual report. The nonpartisan CBO report also says that Biden’s preferred fix, increasing taxes, will worsen the economy.
WASHINGTON—Hundreds of thousands of students who attended the for-profit Corinthian Colleges chain will automatically get their federal student loans canceled, the Biden administration announced Wednesday, a move that aims to bring closure to one of the most notorious cases of fraud in American higher education.Under the new action, anyone who attended the now-defunct chain from its founding in 1995 to its collapse in 2015 will get their federal student debt wiped clean.

Why are so many Jews Democrats? It has been hard to fathom why the Jews, thought by many to be so intelligent and overrepresented in science, medicine, literature, music, and sociology, would embrace Democrat ideology so as to plant the seeds of their own economic and cultural destruction.

Modern school shootings are an exceptionally abhorrent phenomenon that we got along just fine without for the first couple of centuries of U.S. history. So, it’s wholly reasonable to want them gone. It’s not like America was suffering from any lack of the beneficial side effects of school shootings before the man with the brain tumor climbed the U. of Texas clock tower in 1966 and the “I Don’t Like Mondays” girl opened fire at the San Diego elementary school in 1979.
School shootings and other heavily publicized mass killings are an intensely grotesque problem, often engineered by obsessive notoriety-seekers specifically to elicit maximum outrage from you and me.

Biden made the stunning admission following a virtual meeting with major formula manufacturers on the same day the Wall Street Journal, citing research firm IRI, reported that 23% of powdered baby formula was out of stock during the week ending May 22, compared with a 21% out-of-stock rate during the previous week. The normal out-of-stock range prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the outlet, was between 5% and 7%.
Kentucky Democratic Senate nominee Charles Booker released a campaign ad on Wednesday showing him wearing a noose.

Last year, the United Methodist Church accepted Isaac Simmons, who regularly preaches dressed as a drag queen under the name Ms. Penny Cost, as a candidate for ordination. Since that time, Simmons, who serves as an associate pastor at Hope United Methodist Church in Bloomington, Illinois, has challenged basic theological concepts, projecting a worldview where divinity rests not in God but in queerness. In a church preparing to split over LGBTQ issues, the drag queen pastor, who embraces queer theology while barely attempting to plaster on the basic tenets of Christian theology, has become a lightning rod. Conservatives argue that Simmons’ role as a celebrated figure
FAIRFAX, Va. — Johnny Depp won his bombshell defamation case Wednesday against Amber Heard after a Virginia jury substantiated the claim that his ex-wife sullied his reputation and damaged his career when she wrote about becoming a “public figure representing domestic abuse” following the couple’s spilt.

The U.S. has added more than 2 million immigrants to its population since President Biden took office in 2021, the vast majority of them here illegally, according to a new report Wednesday that says most of the newcomers are arriving illegally. The surge is so overwhelming that it’s pushed up the projected point at which the U.S. will have its largest-ever share of immigrants, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. At the current pace of growth, 14.9% of residents will be immigrants as of sometime next year, topping the record set around the turn of the 20th century. That’s half a decade earlier than the Census Bureau’s last calculation,
A teacher did not, as previously stated, leave a door propped open with a rock during the massacre at Robb elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, last week, but closed it before the attacks began–only for the door to not automatically lock, Texas state investigators said. The gunman used the door to get inside, where he killed 19 students and two teachers.
The finding, released by Texas department of public safety on Tuesday, contradicts an earlier account in which they said a teacher had propped the door open shortly before Salvador Ramos, 18, entered the building.(Snip)“We did verify she closed the door. The door did not lock.
Coney Island, Brooklyn—At least five people opened fire on a Brooklyn street on Sunday, police said Wednesday. Two groups each of four people approached each other along Mermaid Avenue near West 25th Street at around 5:30 p.m., according to officials. At least five people pulled out guns and opened fire, discharging around 36 rounds, video of the incident showed. The shooting damaged property in the area, authorities said. One group fled along West 25th Street, while the other headed eastbound on Mermaid Avenue. No injuries in connection to the shooting were reported. Police sought help in finding the suspects.
The politicization of the United States Supreme Court has been escalating for decades, going back at least as far as the 1987 nomination of Robert Bork by President Ronald Reagan. Since that time, confirmation battles such as those of Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, along with hyper enthusiasm for scores of case decisions have seemingly ramped up in intensity.
Yet, perhaps nothing is more illustrative of the impact of outside pressures on the court, and the underlying tension affecting its members and their underlings, than the leaked court opinion from Justice Samuel Alito that came to light a month ago.

So, here you are again, surrounded by people you genuinely like and with whom you would like to share everything. But you know there’d be a steep price to pay if you tell these folks exactly how you feel: that the world seems to be spinning out of control.
You think it’s obvious that things are totally nuts. But if the people with whom you associate week in and week out knew you stood against things like critical race theory, transgender reassignment for young children, and canceling folks who won’t take an experimental “vaccine” would immediately silence you, shun you, and find a way to get rid of you.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says she made a mistake last year in predicting that inflation would be minimal or manageable. “I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take,” Ms. Yellen told CNN on Tuesday. A once-promising fight against COVID-19 took a downward turn in mid-2021 as variants surged and producers struggled to shake off the pandemic and meet the demand for products. People who saved money or received federal payments continued to spend on goods instead of services, trips, conferences and other events, exacerbating the problem.

California is set to release its highly-anticipated report on reparations on Wednesday, concluding the work of a statewide “task force” dedicated to discovering so-called “systemic racism” in the state and determining methods for redistributing wealth to black residents.
According to the Associated Press, the report is set to include such propositions as expanding voter registration, further restrictions on police and harsher punishments for individual officers, and making improvements to black neighborhoods. It will also recommend the creation of a new office that would help black Californians prove their lineage to determine if they were descended from slaves, at which point they would be eligible for financial compensation.
Elon Musk has revealed plans for an all-night Tesla diner that would include a drive-in cinema and charging station.

In a press conference last week following his meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Japan, President Biden praised the escalating price of gasoline as a positive step toward realizing the Democratic Party’s dream of enacting the Green New Deal.
“[When] it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it is over, we will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said.

Kevin Clinesmith must feel like an idiot for pleading guilty without a trial after a D.C.-area jury acquitted Clinton co-conspirator Michael Sussman for his role in the plot to frame Donald Trump for colluding with the Russians, supposedly to steal the 2016 election. Sussman’s D.C.-based jury which featured partisan Democrat donors rendered a quick “not-guilty” verdict. While the Left undoubtedly sees the acquittal as another “lawfare” victory against the bad orange man, that victory did not come without cost to its enabling allies. First, the acquittal further reinforces the impression of a two-tiered justice system in which the politics and privilege of the accused determine the outcome.

Biden’s Great Frustration

Jimmy Carter’s administration was dominated by the Iranian hostage crisis and, domestically, by what would be later termed, “The Great Malaise.” Americans faced long lines at the gas pumps with the energy crisis; our space station, Skylab, was about to crash into Earth; and Carter’s popularity was at 25%. President Carter huddled for 10 days at Camp David, meeting with a cross-section of America. In his famous speech, Carter said America was facing a “crisis of confidence.” People felt that he was managing, not leading the government and that the government was largely ineffective.
When you look at the Biden administration, the parallels are eerily similar.
The White House said Tuesday that President Biden does not support a Canada-style ban on handgun sales in the wake of a pair of mass shootings last month—the latest example of administration members having to clear up their boss’s remarks. “We’ll leave it up to other countries to set their policy on gun ownership,” Jean-Pierre said during her regular briefing. “The president has made his position clear: The United States needs to act. As I just laid out, he supports a ban on the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and expanded background checks to keep guns out of the—dangerous hands.
By now it’s maddeningly clear a perfect storm of institutional failure allowed the Uvalde shooter to carry out his ugly plan. The school was not adequately secured and the police were unacceptably slow. Every day, their bungled response looks worse. If the school door had been locked, if the police had been there sooner, if the resource officer had responded, if every classroom had been locked…
At so many steps leading up to the first victim’s death, the bare minimum of protocol seems likely to have stopped the shooter before the killing began.

The practice harks back to the 2014 conflict when Russia invaded Crimea, 'when lots of people said there are no gay people in the army,' Zhuhan said. 'So (the LGBTQ community) chose the unicorn
Queen Elizabeth II became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee earlier this year after marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, Realms and the Commonwealth. (Snip)Buckingham Palace shared that the queen’s attendance at events throughout the Platinum Jubilee weekend will likely only be confirmed on "the day itself," and Prince William and wife Kate Middleton were tapped to lead the Jubilee celebrations as the most senior members of the royal family. (Snip)The palace confirmed that only working senior members will appear on the balcony, which means Prince Andrew, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, won’t be present.
The results of a Council seat race in Compton, California, were overturned in the midst of an election fraud scandal that resulted in charges against the winner.
Compton Councilman Isaac Galvan must be replaced by the challenger, Andre Spicer, after a judge said that four votes in the race—which was decided by only one vote—were sent in by people who didn’t live in the district, (snip)
During a runoff, Galvan defeated Spicer with 855 votes to 854. But with four votes being disqualified, Superior Court Judge Michelle Williams Court ruled Spicer was the winner, reported the Los Angeles Times.
Galvan was arrested last year (snip) charged with conspiracy to commit election
On the menu today: As President Biden continues to misstate his own policies, it is a painful sign that the next president must be someone who has enough youth and energy to handle the pressures of the job.(Snip)The next president should not be in his seventies . . . or his eighties. I realize that is age-ist, but the presidency is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and executing the duties of the presidency well requires someone who is in good physical and mental health, ideally with a lot of vigor and an ability to handle off-the-charts stress and a relentless workload.
The California State Senate has passed a bill that would allow schools not to report threats or attacks against employees or officials to law enforcement, despite the ongoing national shock and outrage over the Uvalde, Texas, mass school shooting.
The bill, SB 1273, introduced by State Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Los Angeles), passed easily last Thursday — just two days after the Uvalde shooting, in which an 18-year-old gunman murdered 19 children and two teachers in an elementary school. The bill repeals a provision of existing law that requires that “whenever any employee of a school district or county superintendent of schools is attacked, assaulted, or physically
The FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies are not permitted to consider Chinese-Americans as a greater security threat despite their targeting by China’s intelligence service for recruitment, according to a report made public Tuesday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. “While continuing to combat the significant national security threat posed by the [People’s Republic of China], IC agencies and components must ensure that their intelligence activities and security clearance processes protect the privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights of Americans of Chinese descent and all other Americans,” the report concludes.
The report appears to be based on unfounded allegations of Chinese-American racism by intelligence and security
Anyone shocked by the behavior of the Uvalde PD during last week’s mass shooting – in which dozens of officers milled around doing nothing (if not worse) while helpless victims were murdered – has to come to terms with the simple fact that this is the face of the new policing in the 21st century.
The story grows worse with each new detail. Cops took nearly twenty minutes to get to the school in a ten-minute-wide town. Once there, they entered the school, took some fire resulting in minor injuries, and fled – no Fallujah vets here. Outside, they harassed, attacked, and arrested fearful parents begging them to do their jobs.
An attacker knifed a 16-year-old girl in the shoulder in an apparently unprovoked attack in Brooklyn, disturbing video released Wednesday shows. The footage from NYPD shows the teen walking into the Urban Juice Bar & Grill in Brownsville around 6 p.m. May 22 when a man came up behind her, raised a black knife and stabbed her once in the left shoulder. Then the suspect slowly walked off, the clip shows.(Snip)Cops are still looking for the suspect, described as a man with a medium complexion, weighing about 150 pounds with a thin build, black hair and goatee, authorities said. He is shown in the footage wearing a black
Here's the latest bright-bulb idea from Joe Biden, who's hosting the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles on June 6-10:
His coming plan "to tackle increasing migration." According to Reuters:
WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will seek regional consensus on a new economic agenda to build on existing trade agreements with Latin America and present a plan to tackle increasing migration when he hosts the Summit of the Americas, senior U.S. officials said on Tuesday.
The Biden administration on Tuesday announced details of the newest $700 million security package it is sending to Ukraine, which includes rocket systems with longer ranges than those sent in previous packages. The package is expected to be officially announced Wednesday. The High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) will provide Ukrainian troops with greater precision when striking against Russian advances, senior administration officials told reporters Tuesday night. The officials stressed that these newer systems will not be used to strike at targets within Russia. Officials also said they will not be giving Ukraine long-range weapons, and added that Ukraine has

Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. — A bison gored a 25-year-old woman in Yellowstone National Park. The bison was walking near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, just north of Old Faithful, when the woman approached it on Monday, according to a park statement. She got within 10 feet before the animal gored her and tossed her 10 feet in the air. The woman, from Grove City, Ohio, sustained a puncture wound and other injuries. Park emergency medical providers responded and transported her via ambulance to a hospital in Idaho. Park officials say it's the first reported bison goring this year.
Yesterday, after less than one full day of deliberations, a D.C. jury stacked with pro-Hillary Clinton jurors acquitted former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann, proving the FBI is not “ours” but the swamp’s.
Just more than two weeks ago, prosecutor Brittain Shaw began opening statements in United States v. Sussmann, by stating the obvious: “Some people have very strong feelings about politics and about Russia, and many people have strong feelings about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.”
It’s sad that even at a time of the year set aside to commemorate the more than 1 million people who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom and way of life, Americans today find themselves deeply divided about their country and its prospects, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
Each month, I&I/TIPP asks respondents to its poll the same question: “In general would you say the United States is: 1.) Very united. 2.) Somewhat united. 3.) Somewhat divided. 4.) Very divided.”
While this fairly new question in the I&I/TIPP Poll goes back only to April of 2021, its most recent message is not one of optimism.
Uvalde and the Problem of Evil

What do people who don’t believe in evil do? They blame inanimate objects. Guns.
19 years ago, a middle-aged unemployed taxi driver carrying two milk cartons full of gasoline walked onto a South Korean subway and started a fire that killed 192 people.
That was not a milk carton problem. Nor was it a gasoline problem.
6 years ago, a Muslim terrorist drove a truck into a Bastille Day event in Nice, France killing 86 and wounding over 400 other people. Body parts were being pried out of his wheel wells.
That was not a truck problem.
Across the long stretch of human history, millions of people were killed long before the invention of firearms,
A DC jury found Michael Sussmann not guilty, and with that verdict, John Durham’s investigation into the infamous Russian collusion scandal is officially on life support. The result is not, however, quite the exoneration portrayed by the media.

On May 28, Sky News Australia posted a video titled "New York bearing signs of 'societal decay.'" The video shows a man (who seems as if he is on drugs) entering a train car and sitting next to a young woman. He then touches her without consent, grabs her, drags her around a bit, and generally is an extremely unpleasant nuisance. He eventually leaves her alone and proceeds to try to kick out one of the windows.
During the video, the young woman is seen looking at other passengers, with obvious worry in her eyes, begging somebody to please "help me."
Roe v. Women
replies
“Thou shalt not steal my repro rights,"
"Keep your politics out of my uterus."
“I am a woman not a womb.”
Crowds of angry women chanted slogans like these outside the Supreme Court after the leak of the draft majority opinion in the Dobbs case suggesting that the Court might overturn Roe v. Wade. Pro-choice advocates believe that abortion empowers women. That abortion frees women from the shackles of pregnancy, motherhood, and child rearing. That being in favor of abortion is pro-woman.
But is it really?
In my college years, I had to decide whether abortion would be a good solution for me as a woman.

The far-left Washington Post reported this evening on an action by Supreme Court Justice Alito in Pennsylvania. Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. on Tuesday put a hold on counting some challenged ballots in Pennsylvania while the Supreme Court continues to review a lower court’s decision that they be tallied. The administrative stay Alito issued involves a unanimous decision of a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit. It said that mail-in ballots that were received on time but lacked a required date
A neighbor of Texas elementary school gunman Salvador Ramos has recalled seeing the teen's grandmother run out of her home covered in blood after she was shot in the face by her own grandson. Gilberto Gallegos, 82, lives across the street from Celia Gonzales, 66, who was shot by Ramos last Tuesday moments before he opened fire at an Uvalde elementary school, killing 19 students and two teachers. Speaking to DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview, Gallegos revealed he had been gardening with wife Maria, 76, in their front yard when they suddenly heard gunshots ring out from Gonzales's home.
Customized caskets bearing images of dinosaurs, llamas, slime, the TikTok logo, basketballs, musical notes and pickles have been delivered to Uvalde, as the tragic task of burying the dead from last week's school shooting begins.The coffins have been made by a Texas businessman, Trey Ganem, whose company Soul Shine Industries specializes in personalized caskets.Ganem normally charges $3,400 for the caskets, but has donated them to the families of the 19 children and two teachers murdered at Robb Elementary School on May 24. He was asked to make 18 of the 19 caskets for the children, and one of the two adult coffins.
Uvalde schools police chief Pete Arredondo, who was in command during law enforcement’s response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School, was sworn in as a member of the city council on Tuesday without a ceremony. “Out of respect for the families who buried their children today, and who are planning to bury their children in the next few days, no ceremony was held,” Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said in a statement. Arredondo’s ascension to city council comes just hours after the Texas Department of Public Safety said local police departments were not cooperating with its investigation into the massacre that left 19 fourth-graders and two teachers dead.
If there is any maxim religiously observed by the corporate news media, it is this: “If it bleeds, it leads.” Moreover, if the blood in question gushes from gunshot wounds inflicted by a deranged mass murderer, the major news outlets uniformly portray the crime as evidence of an ever-increasing wave of violence caused not by criminals but by their weapons. This narrative is a textbook example of misinformation whereby news organizations studiously ignore data and definitions on mass shootings developed by Congress, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other law enforcement sources.
Those flying throughout the United States may soon have to put their masks back on, as the Department of Justice has filed an appeal of an April decision that ended the unpopular mask mandate on planes and public transit. The Centers for Disease Control had first implemented the mandate in February 2021 amid rising COVID cases, but as the number of cases started to drastically decline the mandate became unpopular among both passengers and crew members.
In fact, during a Senate hearing about the financial support airlines received in 2020 and 2021, American Airlines CEO Doug Parker and Southwest CEO Gary Kelly spoke out against the mandate.
COVID UPDATE: What is the truth?

The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most manipulated infectious disease events in history, characterized by official lies in an unending stream lead by government bureaucracies, medical associations, medical boards, the media, and international agencies. We have witnessed a long list of unprecedented intrusions into medical practice, including attacks on medical experts, destruction of medical careers among doctors refusing to participate in killing their patients and a massive regimentation of health care, led by non-qualified individuals with enormous wealth, power and influence.
