Jeanine Pirro says Trump assassination suspect faces 3 charges | Fox News:
The third assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in two years — which took place during a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner last Saturday — is under active federal investigation by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who said Saturday the case already includes some of the most serious charges under federal law.
"There are presently three charges, some of the most serious charges in the federal code, and they are the attempted assassination of a president of the United States," Pirro said during an interview with Lara Trump on "My View with Lara Trump," outlining charges against suspected shooter Cole Allen.

Dem Deletes X Posts After Trashing State She Is Seeking to Represent:
Democratic Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow wiped thousands of posts Wednesday after her social media history of trashing “Middle America” gained national attention.
A high school senior in Philadelphia made a video series asking fellow seniors to read a simple sentence written in english and they're incapable of completing the simple task.
now the school is saying he may not be allowed to graduate from the charter school due to the videos. - Mrgunsngear@Mrgunsngear
- The school seems completely fine with students not being able to read but they're not okay with the public seeing that they can't read.

The report explained Trump has approved a cross-border permit for Bridger Pipeline's 650-mile project, which will carry up to 550,000 barrels per day of Canadian crude to the Gulf Coast by way of Guernsey, Wyoming, with the potential to more than double that volume over time.

- On the right is the same election, broken down by congressional district
As Democrats continue melting down over the SCOTUS ruling, telling anyone and everyone that black people can no longer vote in America (and no, we're not making that up, there are a lot of stupid people on X).
For example, Rep. Ilhan Omar seems to think SCOTUS has rigged the rules to suppress the right to vote. - Rodney AllebachNo, really.

She posted this:
Rep. Ilhan Omar@Ilhan - The Supreme Court just eviscerated the Voting Rights Act.
Trump and Republicans are rigging the rules to suppress the right to vote.
If that’s the game, Democratic states must fight back to protect our democracy.
...Luckily, Grok was asked to explain the ruling to Ilham as if she were a five-year-old, and this is freaking hilarious:
• The big judges said grown-ups can't color on the map using mostly skin color crayons to make special shapes just for one group of kids to win more games.
• Everyone still gets to vote the same, but the lines on the paper must be drawn fairly by where people live, not by picking favorites by their color.
• It's like sharing toys equally without saying "these are only for brown kids" — the rules want the same fair play for all kids in America....
WHCD shooting suspect Cole Allen's toxic Blue Sky history shows China's dangerous hold on our social media
A breakdown of Cole’s most-liked accounts over the past month, before he tried to kill Trump at the Washington Hilton Saturday night, shows a classic grab bag of Trump-haters and liberal activists, with lefty Trump-deranged lawyer Will Stancil at the top, boasting 28 likes. - Miranda Devine
- But a curious account in the middle of the radical left soup, coming in at number 12 with seven likes, is a little-known China apologist, James Palmer, the deputy editor of Foreign Policy, who uses the handle “beijingpalmer.”
- But there’s no doubt China is actively working to magnify social, political and racial divisions in this country and does so in part by seeding psychologically manipulative narratives through social media influence operations...

Why is America's largest teachers' union encouraging students to skip school? | Blaze Media:
Some of that spending aligns with what most people would expect. In California, for example, unions spent more than $20 million backing Proposition 15, a 2020 ballot initiative that would have raised taxes on commercial properties to increase funding for public schools and community colleges. The measure ultimately failed.
But much of it extends far beyond that.
“Diversity” Is Our Weakness
The shibboleth that “diversity is our strength” is one of the worst canards of our time. - John HinderakerThere is a great deal of empirical data indicating that in general, cultural diversity is a weakness, not a strength.
- Culturally diverse societies (which can mean ethnically diverse, but doesn’t have to) are generally lower-trust societies, which inhibits economic growth.
Western Europe is living proof of that proposition.
- But there is another way in which “diversity” in the DEI sense–i.e., the jerry-rigged quotas resulting from an obsession with race, sex, and sexual orientation–is bad...
