PORTERVILLE, Calif. (KFSN) -- A Tulare County Sheriff's Office detective was shot and killed during a confrontation in Porterville on Thursday. Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said that deputies were serving an eviction notice at a home on Brian Avenue near North Salisbury Street around 10:40 a.m. when shots were fired. Authorities said the suspect, identified as 59-year-old David Morales, barricaded himself inside the home and was believed to be armed with a high-powered rifle. Multiple shots were exchanged. Detective Randy Hoppert was struck, and after a tactical rescue was taken to Sierra View Medical Center in Porterville, where he later died.

Michael J. Fox is alive and well. The "Back to the Future" star, 64, took to Threads on April 8 to laugh off a mistaken report of his demise. Earlier, fans were concerned the star had died after CNN published a tribute video titled "Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox." In a Threads post, Fox assured fans he is doing OK. "How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?" he wrote. "Do you…A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour scolding hot water on your lap, if it hurts your fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she's

The State of Minnesota requires schools to allow boys to compete in girls’ sports. It also requires schools to allow teenage boys to shower with the girls, and otherwise avail themselves of girls’ locker rooms. This is not, to put it mildly, a popular policy, especially with the parents of teenage girls. But Minnesota’s DFL party defends it doggedly. It gets worse: the federal government has sued Minnesota, alleging that the state’s anti-girl policies violate Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments. That lawsuit potentially could cost Minnesota up to $3 billion in federal education funding. But none of that matters to Minnesota’s Democrats. Republicans in the Minnesota House introduced legislation

The country has been on pins and needles in recent weeks, as the Supreme Court weighs a decision about birthright citizenship, which is a question that has persisted throughout every living American’s life, though it seems to me that it never should have been. First, let’s consider the framers’ intent. The Fourteenth Amendment is clearly directed toward ensuring that slaves born in America, whose forebears were of African origin, would be considered American citizens after the Civil War. We know this to be a fact because many American Indians were also born on American soil, though they were not considered American citizens when the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified.

Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Oh, where to begin with this one. If California Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom were starring in a reality television show, an apt title for it would be, The Worst White People in America. You could actually rotate quite a cast of pasty, privileged Democrats through various episodes, but California's first fascist family would always be the most awful of the bunch. Mrs. Newsom has been popping up in the news a lot lately and, like so many prominent Dem women, the more I know about her, the more I dislike her. She likes to refer

Two senior Iranian leaders — including one of the country’s top spies and the head of its undercover forces — were killed in overnight airstrikes on the capital, Tehran, state media and Israel’s defense minister said Monday. Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi, head of intelligence for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was assassinated early Monday, as Israel and the United States carried out a wave of strikes on the regime, killing more than 25 people. “Khademi wasn’t just any figure; he was effectively No. 2 within the IRGC, one of the few senior commanders who managed to survive multiple waves of Israeli and American targeting over the past year —

There’s nothing really new in the uproar surrounding the loss of a USAF F-15E Strike Eagle over Iran this past weekend. Media hysteria over the downing of a single U.S. aircraft has become a commonplace schtick in coverage of American wars over the past three decades. During WW II, the U.S. lost over 23,000 planes in combat. I kid you not, playmates: 23,000+ – and that’s only combat losses. Overall losses, including accidents, amounted to 65,164. The media talking heads would have had to be carried out in straitjackets if they’d been active at the time. Losses dropped sharply following WW II. In Korea, the USAF lost 147 shot down

Leave it to the woke left to ignore, well, reality. In the latest episode of Woke Progressives Gone Wild, former women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe is back to her usual shenanigans, denying biology in favor of having dudes play in women's sports. You'd think, having been a soccer player, a sport which I am given to understand required speed, strength, agility, and endurance, she's know better; but, clearly, she doesn't know, or care, about the differences between men and women. Former U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe ripped the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for implementing a new policy to ensure fairness across women’s competitions.

Unlike King Charles, by oath Defender of the Faith (Anglican), who skipped that thought this year, I do wish a Happy Easter to all who celebrate. I hope by the time you read this on Sunday we will have even more good news to celebrate. In Iran an F-15E was downed in a remote part of the country. The pilot was quickly rescued, but despite conflicting accounts, it appears that the Weapons Systems Officer is still missing, and a significant search is ongoing to find and rescue him. (An A-10 was also shot down and that pilot rescued.) every effort is being made in the rescue operation, including the presence of

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may have dropped off the radar a little bit after things settled down in Minneapolis, but a flurry of arrests just outside Pittsburgh suggests that ICE is as active as ever and addressing a problem that’s been a long time coming. ICE arrested a reported 13 people at a driver’s license center in a quiet, rural location 40 miles north of downtown Pittsburgh on April 3. According to WPXI-TV, the local East Franklin Police Department placed calls to ICE “after concerned citizens reported an abnormally large amount of individuals outside the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) driver licensing center in Kittanning, Pennsylvania.”

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger (D.) and other local authorities are under fire over a recent string of very high profile and preventable crimes committed by illegal aliens in the sanctuary state. One of Spanberger’s first actions as governor was to sign an executive order barring state and local authorities from cooperating with federal authorities for federal immigration enforcement.

Barack Obama loves lecturing us about ‘democracy’ and ‘voter suppression’ — except when it’s his own ugly library handing out grand-opening tickets. Then suddenly, citizenship matters. What is the attribute that stands out most to you when it comes to Barack? Narcissist? Sure. A generally pompous jackwagon? Definitely. Dork? Quite often. But somewhere on anybody's list, the word "hypocrite" is sure to show up. Whether it's top 5 or top 10 for his most obvious traits is the only question. So, imagine my surprise when I took a gander at the requirements for a contest to win two tickets to the Obama Presidential Center Grand Opening Ceremony this coming June, and discovered that
