A total of five people including two teenaged gunmen are dead after an active shooter situation at a San Diego mosque drew a massive police presence, police sources told The Post Monday. One of the victims was a mosque security guard who “played a pivotal role in assisting, this could have been worse,” said a San Diego police officer at the press conference. The suspects, believed to be aged 17 and 19, died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, police said during a press conference. They fled in a white BMW and were found dead inside the vehicle. Two other adults were killed at the mosque by the gunmen, police said.

Early word is that there was hate speech inscribed in their weapons and a reference to "racial pride" - I really hope this wasn't a couple of yahoos who thought they were doing anyone a favor. Stand by for the non-stop blowback, if so.

Would that the next synagogue shoot-up gets this same amount of sympathetic coverage.

Strange. Two loons? Racial pride? What's with that? There are Caucasian Muslims too. The media will play this up as dangerous white supremacy while ignoring the thousands dead at the hands of Islamists just in the last few decades.

It's a halmark of the transtifa shooters to write stuff on their weapons...Imma hazard a guess that this was a young "Dramatic" gay couple upset at being discriminated against by "Islam"

Gee whiz, I cannot imagine what could possibly drive someone to have anti-Muslim views. Perhaps they had talked to a Muslim or read the Koran.....and found out about the Islamic religious duty to kill them, and decided to go first. Too bad the security guard got shot. Bad planning by unserious, nutty guys.

The left finally has an example of an anti-muslim hate crime. Perpetrated by cos-playing high schoolers.

The opponents on this road trip aren’t particularly daunting, giving the Mets a wide opening to continue their recent surge. Monday night they avoided a letdown following the euphoria of winning the Subway Series, attacking throughout against the Nationals. ‘The Mets won 16-7 in 12 innings for a sixth victory in seven games. The Mets scored 10 runs in the final inning, piling on against Jorbit Vivas, a position player, after they had built a comfortable cushion. Carson Benge’s RBI single in the 12th inning brought in the go-ahead run after Hayden Senger’s sacrifice bunt had advanced the automatic runner. Vidal Bruján’s suicide squeeze brought in Benge for an insurance run.

few weeks into President Donald Trump's second term, his crackdown on illegal immigration netted an unexpected yield: a former Cuban fighter pilot who had been allowed into the United States under President Joe Biden and was trying to get permanent residency. The 2025 arrest of Luis Raul Gonzalez-Pardo Rodriguez, officials told Just the News, set in motion an extraordinary set of events inside the U.S. intelligence community, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami that could yield the unveiling of an indictment as early as Wednesday of former Cuban President —

Some school districts appear to go to great lengths to hide curricula, psychological interventions and which adults have access to students, even invoking copyright law and forcing parents to navigate state and federal courts to bring an open-records lawsuit. They don't seem as reticent to hide their outsourcing of curricular decisions to a progressive group that went from fighting the Ku Klux Klan to allegedly funding the Klan's progeny to create the appearance of a thriving white supremacy movement and thereby goose its fundraising and swing Southern elections.

Lai Ching-te said Sunday that arms purchases from the United States remain “the most important deterrent” against regional conflict and instability, following remarks by Donald Trump questioning continued American support for Taiwan after his recent visit to China. Lai stressed that U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and broader security cooperation are not only grounded in law but also serve as a “catalyst for regional peace and stability," the Associated Press reported. “We thank President Trump for his continued support for peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait since his first term, including the continuous increase in the scale and amount of arms sales to Taiwan,” Lai said.

This past April, actor Adam Scott (Severance) introduced her at a backyard fundraiser in Santa Monica.

Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen broke down in tears while reflecting on his decision to drop his reelection bid after redistricting all but ensured he had no path to victory. Cohen (D-Tenn.), the sole Democrat in Tennessee’s congressional delegation, lamented the Republicans’ revamping of the Volunteer State’s 9th district, which is majority minority, and railed against redistricting as “bad for democracy.” “I’m upset by this,” the now-outgoing Democrat bemoaned to NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Friday. “And I don’t get the criticism of stand and fight.” Why would you fight when they changed the district and there aren’t enough votes for you to win? That’s silly.” Cohen, who has repped the Memphis-centered district since 2007,

Revealingly, while Belgium's Press Ethics Council did not trust readers with Vance's speech on the factual lack of freedom of speech in Europe, the Belgian courts had no issues with a magazine column that incited violence against Belgian Jews. On one hand, the public cannot be trusted with information that has not been chewed up and curated for them beforehand, including an unfiltered speech by Vance. On the other hand, screeds inciting violence against Jews are perfectly acceptable, and all at once, out of the blue -- poof! -- suddenly the Belgian judicial system cares about "freedom of speech" if it is spoken by people whose votes are regarded as "necessary."

The regime in Tehran trembles not because of American bombers or sanctions alone, but because its greatest nightmare has always been the Iranian people themselves. While the chattering class in Washington and on cable news wrings its hands over “escalation” and “doom,” they miss the most powerful weapon President Trump has quietly at his disposal: Trump’s Silent Liberation Army—the millions of freedom-loving Iranians ready to reclaim their nation. Recent uprisings in Iran, building on the spirit of the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests and exploding into nationwide fury by late 2025 and early 2026, have shown the world the depth of popular discontent.

Even as the North Korean hermit kingdom clings to its grotesque survival, and Communist China masquerades as a “people’s republic” while running a high-tech surveillance tyranny that murders dissidents and harvests organs, the writing is on the wall.

A Democratic city council member who once welcomed the “change” from socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is now admitting he is “gravely concerned” about the business exodus affecting the major American city. This comes as blue states like Washington and New York face a business exodus in favor of more market-friendly red states. Starbucks, a major player in Seattle’s business scene, recently announced a major expansion into Nashville while simultaneously cutting Seattle-based corporate jobs, a move that has intensified concerns about Seattle’s business climate and economic competitiveness. Wilson, a self-proclaimed socialist, recently went viral for laughing off the exodus of billionaires and business leaders from her city,

For a sense of how bereft the Democrats are of credible leaders and sensible policy ideas all one has to do is listen to the remarks of former Vice President Kamala Harris on the Win with Black Women podcast. She proposed a “no bad ideas brainstorm” in which Democrats would discuss “What we need to do, and think about doing, around the Electoral College … expanding the Supreme Court … statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.” Harris, whom most polls of Democrat voters show as the front-runner for their party’s 2028 presidential nomination, said this as if offering fresh ideas.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was lampooned on social media for using a bulletproof shield on wheels while delivering a race-baiting rant on “voting rights.” The clown show unfolded Saturday at a rally in Montgomery, Alabama, where the Bronx Bolshevik tried to incite left-wing outrage following a Supreme Court decision repudiating race-based congressional redistricting as unconstitutional. The most notable part of AOC’s staged stunt was her absurd use of a portable bulletproof glass panel divider. “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez champions defunding the police, open borders, and abolishing ICE, yet she shields herself behind bulletproof glass,” one X commenter wrote. “The hypocrisy is hard to ignore.”

If Americans won’t have the meekness to get sick enough ahead of the midterm elections to justify lockdowns and all mail-in ballots, it seems globalists might be willing to manufacture another “global health emergency.” Hopefully Donald Trump and We the People are too smart to fall for that destructive nonsense twice. Naturally, many Americans will ask how an outbreak of Ebola in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) could possibly necessitate the World Health Organization (WHO) assuring the world that it is in imminent danger of Ebola contagion. But if there is one thing we learned from the COVID-19 lockdowns, it is that the WHO

Three suspects, including two teenagers, committed a staggering 12 shootings in the Austin area over the weekend. The Texas governor wants to see them behind bars for a long time, instead of released as “misguided minors” to shoot more people. The 15-year-old stole his gun on Saturday from the exact same store where the 17-year-old accomplice had already stolen a firearm. There was a warrant out for the latter’s arrest over the theft. ABC7 KATV did not provide names for any of the suspects, but merely said that the third suspect fled the vehicle when officers stopped it to arrest the teenagers. Officers were pursuing the vehicle when

At least eight people were injured Saturday in Modena, Italy when a crazed driver rammed his car into a crowd at full speed — and then knifed a hero who stopped him when he tried to flee following his cowardly act. The man has been identified by authorities as Salim el Koudri, a 31-year-old Italian citizen of Moroccan origin. The motive is not yet known, but a terrorist attack is not being ruled out, Italian newspaper La Pressa reported. El Koudri accelerated suddenly then zigzagged erratically on Via Emilia in the northern Italian city around 4:30 pm, mowing down at least four pedestrians.

At the same time, he has refused to disclose whether the Veterans Affairs (V.A.) benefits that make up the vast majority of his income come with work restrictions—a critical distinction that could have legal implications for his campaign. Platner told News Center Maine in October that he holds a 100 percent disability rating due to "a couple herniated discs," a "wreck" of a shoulder, knees that "bother him," and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and that, as a result, he receives roughly $4,800 a month from the V.A.

Despite evidence to the contrary, liberal voting activists have spent years minimizing cheating concerns and portraying those who want to investigate such problems as “election deniers.” But the Justice Department, FBI and Homeland Security are now systematically exposing electoral fraud from noncitizen voting to ballot-box-stuffing schemes that are turning the table in epic fashion. The latest strike came Monday when a longtime voting activist in California reached a deal with federal prosecutors to admit to illegally paying homeless people to sign election petitions and paying people to register to vote in a two-decade scheme that allegedly leveraged the Democrat-run state’s lax mail-in voting system,

Weingarten used the abundance of union-fueled resources for the liberal agenda-pushing “Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy” then pocketed a portion of the proceeds, the Freedom Foundation claimed in a new report. Her team included an attorney who supposedly worked on the book pro bono but whose firm raked in $977,000 for various work for AFT, as well as a supposed “ghost writer who earned over
