sworn into city council

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.

She accused the controversial Los Angeles district attorney, George Gascon, of 'prioritizing the livelihood of rotten monsters' with his lenient sentencing, and added: 'George Gascon doesn't value my life or the life of my child, or any other victim out there.'

Washington—A U.S. Embassy tweet of a rainbow-flag-festooned message by President Joe Biden in support of Pride Month has drawn a face-to-face diplomatic protest from Kuwait and sparked a rare Twitter fight between the two close allies. On Friday, U.S. diplomats were doubling down with rainbow flag postings and statements in support of LGBTQ rights on social media. The messages appeared in response to the Kuwaiti government's official objection the day before to what Kuwait's state news agency called the “pro-gay rights post” of the U.S. Embassy there. “The United States stands with the LGBTQI+ community everywhere around the world,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said
Rep. Chris Jacobs is dropping his reelection bid after coming under fire from fellow Republicans for backing a ban on assault weapons.
The New York Republican said his newfound views on gun control would make a re-election bid difficult and divisive. “The last thing we need is an incredibly negative, half-truth-filled media attack, funded by millions of dollars in special interest money coming into our community around this issue of guns and gun violence and gun control,” he said in announcing his withdrawal from the race. Last week, Mr. Jacobs shocked many by signaling support for a ban on assault weapons. He also endorsed raising the minimum age

American businesses are increasingly emphasizing transgender activism in Pride Month initiatives ranging from drag queen brunches to books that invite young children to question their biological sex. Pride Month, an annual commemoration of the 1968 Stonewall riots that the gay community organized in New York City’s Greenwich Village, traditionally focused on gay marriage.(Snip)Out Leadership—an LGBT business network with 94 corporate members including Amazon, American Express, Bloomberg, Citi, CocaCola, Comcast, Goldman Sachs, IBM, Microsoft, Nike and Walmart—says it’s good business to embrace those gender identity trends. “Companies have long supported the LGBTQ community because they know that inclusion in all its forms is simply good for their bottom
St. Cloud—Islamic leaders here Friday asked authorities to investigate a possible hate crime after 33-year-old St. Cloud resident Musa Sabriye was found dead in a charred car Monday in the neighboring city of Waite Park. "What is critical is for us to know how Musa lost his life—what caused him to lose his life and if somebody was involved in taking his life," said Sabriye's brother Abdullahi Ali, speaking in his native Somali through a translator. "We need steadfastness and quick justice."(Snip)Jama Alimad, a Somali elder, said he feels the community generally has a good relationship with area police but wants to ensure
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) improperly gave $10 million in Chinese coronavirus funds to illegal aliens in the form of stimulus checks, state oversight officials allege. As Breitbart News reported last year, Murphy provided the state’s nearly half a million illegal aliens with rounds of stimulus checks to the sum of tens of millions of dollars—paid for by American taxpayers—that was meant as coronavirus relief for Americans. Now, the state’s Office of Legislative Services (OLS) is accusing Murphy of improperly allocating $10 million to fund stimulus checks for illegal aliens in New Jersey, NJ.com reports: Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration in April made what appears to be an improper

Dr. Anthony Fauci took a barely veiled swipe at former President Donald Trump and Republicans during a college commencement speech Friday—just two days after claiming he wouldn’t “get involved in any politics” related to the 2024 election. Speaking to more than 3,700 graduates of the City College of New York in Harlem, Fauci said, “It is blatantly obvious that we are experiencing a deepening divisiveness in our nation, fed by a flagrant devaluation of the truth.” “While genuine differences of opinion or ideology are part of a healthy society, increasingly we are hearing, reading and seeing outlandish statements and pronouncements propped up by deliberate distortions of reality,”
The fight in Ukraine has become “a war of attrition” and Western aid for Kyiv against Russia is more vital than ever, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday, offering a grim assessment of the bloody conflict as it nears the 100-day mark but also expressing deep solidarity with the embattled government in Kyiv.
Speaking to reporters at the White House after meeting with President Biden, the NATO chief outlined a broad strategy for the transatlantic military alliance for the weeks and months to come. It’s focused primarily on ramping up arms shipments and other assistance to Ukraine to help repel Russia‘s major offensive in the eastern Donbas region
President Joe Biden took a dismissive jab at Elon Musk over reports that the mogul has a “super bad feeling” about the American economy. “Lots of luck on his trip to the moon,” a sarcastic Biden said at a press conference Friday when asked about Musk’s reported views. The president’s comments came hours after Reuters reported that Musk told executives at Tesla that he wants to axe 10% of the automaker’s 100,000-person workforce due to his gloomy view on the future of the economy. When asked about Musk’s dour outlook—as well as similar pessimism from JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon—Biden struck a more optimistic tone
The cop in charge during the Uvalde, Texas, school massacre arrived without a police radio and immediately made the call to “fall back” rather than confront the gunman, a new report said. Uvalde school district police Chief Pete Arredondo was one of the first people on the scene after 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos stormed into Robb Elementary School with an AR-15-style assault rifle last Tuesday—but police communication was chaotic from the start, the New York Times reported.(Snip)Arredondo had to use a cellphone to call a police land line to request a radio and backup, saying “we need more firepower and we need

Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan claimed that more House Republicans would have impeached former President Donald Trump following the January 6 Capitol riot if they had the “guts” to do so. Paul Ryan made his pronouncement while campaigning for Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC), one of the 10 House Republicans that voted to impeach Trump following the riot. “There were a lot of people who wanted to vote like Tom but who just didn’t have the guts to do it,” Ryan said. “There are a lot of people who say they’re going to vote their conscious, they’re going to vote for the Constitution, they’re going to vote for their

The House Oversight Committee has organized a hearing for next week on the spree of deadly national gun violence that will feature dramatic testimony from a fourth grader who survived the Uvalde, Texas school shooting just days ago. The hearing, on 'The Urgent Need to Address the Gun Violence Epidemic,' features testimony from family members and victims of the May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary as well as the shooting at a Buffalo supermarket last month that left 10 dead.It was organized by panel chair Rep.

New York's legislature voted on its last day of session Thursday to ban anyone under the age of 21 from buying or even possessing a semi-automatic rifle.The bill also requires anyone buying a semi-automatic rifle to get a license - which is currently only required in New York State for handguns.But it is just one part of a larger package of gun control measures announced earlier this week by Democratic legislative leaders and Gov. Kathy Hochul to bolster New York's already strict gun laws in the wake of a mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo.
Former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro contested the charges against him in federal court in Washington, DC, on Friday, after he was arrested by the FBI on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying the January 6 committee.

Russia is being hit hard by Ukraine‘s Javelin anti-tank missiles. What makes this weapon so powerful? The U.S.-made FGM-148 Javelin is one of the premier portable anti-tank missile systems in the world. It’s also an expensive piece of kit, with each missile typically costing more than the targets it eliminates.
However, corruption is the main problem that every country has to fight with and the Ukrainians are no different!
The expensive javelins have allegedly found their way into the black market on the Internet.
Telegram channels have repeatedly reported that military equipment is being sold by the Ukrainians. The sales market is often the Middle East or North Africa.
President Joe Biden unleashed another passionate call for gun control, using the bully pulpit of the White House to make his case.“Nothing has been done,” Biden said. “This time that cannot be true. This time we must actually do something.”The president spoke about his proposals during a prime-time address from the White House, surrounded by candles representing the victims of mass shootings.“For so many of you at home, I want to be very clear, this is not about taking away anyone’s guns,” Biden said before announcing he wanted to ban all “assault weapons” including AK-47s and AR-15s as well as magazines holding 30 rounds.
The documentary film “2000 Mules,” created by Dinesh D’Souza irrefutably confirms the widespread belief that Democrats stole the election in 2020.In the film, D’Souza and True the Vote prove through geo-tracking and video evidence that Democrats used an illegal ballot trafficking network to manipulate the election results in a scheme that involved every single battleground state.The mainstream media, including Fox News, boycotted any coverage of 2000 Mules while the Republican Party and GOP have yet to mention the film on any of its websites or social media pages or websites.

Megxit remains polarizing. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were greeted with both boos and cheers at the Platinum Jubilee church service Friday, with the jeers trying to outdo the excitement over their arrival.

I have no gay pride. I don’t have gay hatred either. I simply don’t care very much. (snip) I bet most people, like me, dislike the annual barrage of mandatory love for the LGBTQ+++ crowd and especially dislike the industry that’s sprung up around confusing kids about their biological and then giving them expensive, mutilating surgery and toxic drugs. These same people almost certainly don’t make up NASCAR’s fan base. Corporate NASCAR, however, has decided to stand with the LGBTQ++ activists. (snip) NASCAR, though, has been having a bit of a problem keeping fans.
President Joe Biden’s Pride Month 2022 proclamation condemned “an onslaught of dangerous anti-LGBTQI+ legislation” introduced and passed in multiple states, which he claims targets transgender children.“Today, the rights of LGBTQI+ Americans are under relentless attack. Members of the LGBTQI+ community — especially people of color and trans people — continue to face discrimination and cruel, persistent efforts to undermine their human rights,” he said. “We condemn the dangerous State laws and bills that target LGBTQI+ youth.”“Anti-LGBTQI+” legislation refers to bills passed in states such as Arizona, Oklahoma, and Alabama, which mandate students to play on sports teams that align
