Suspect in Border Patrol Ambush Identified - Strange Writing Found on His Car

The man who opened fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in Texas on Friday has been identified — and investigators said they discovered something bizarre written on his vehicle.

When they can't find the "devils-in-their-minds", they make it up.-----Liberal Rag Busted for Peddling Fake News About Ted Cruz Amid Texas Flood Disaster

Liberal Rag Busted for Peddling Fake News About Ted Cruz Amid Texas Flood Disaster - Matt Vespa
The Daily Beast tried to do that again with Cruz, slamming him for wallowing in the sun in Athens, Greece, amid the floods that struck central Texas, which has claimed the lives of at least 100 people. 
  • The difference is that’s not what happened, and Cruz’s communication director, Macarena Martinez, wasn’t having any of it.
Here’s what this liberal rag alleges happened:
The Swamp can exclusively reveal that Ted Cruz stayed in Greece and continued to sightsee as rescuers scoured the floodwaters in Central Texas that killed at least 100 people, including 27 campers and counselors from a summer camp...
Martinez with the katana blow:
The Texas Republican was on the first flight back to Texas, leaving Sunday, and has been on the ground ever since.

'Absolute fake news': ABC's George Stephanopoulos pounded for deceptive coverage of Texas flooding * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs

ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos is coming under fire for his perceived anti-Trump coverage of the catastrophic flash floods that killed dozens in Texas on Saturday, reporting "significant staffing shortfalls" at federal weather stations.

How much longer??!!

 


Their "joy" is scary!-----The Party of Empathy... David Strom

I have a bookmark folder on X called "Democrat hate."
When I think about it, I toss especially hateful posts into the folder as potential fodder for articles. 
  • I rarely dip into them unless some particularly prominent person utters some particularly hateful thing. 
  • Still, it is striking how many posts I find of Democrats wishing death or suffering on people for the crime of seeing things differently than they do.
What prompted me to dip into this well was the liberal reaction to the flash flood tragedy in Texas.

Two things stood out: 

  • the hoax that the National Weather Service failed to put out warnings due to DOGE cuts, and
  •  the liberals who went out on X and Bluesky crowing about how Texans deserved the flood.

  • The first slander--that the NWS fell down on the job and failed to warn that floods were imminent--is just false...

The entire democrat/media leadership quiet!

Mark Steyn - The Death of the West
...I recalled the summer of 2016, which I spent touring the Continent from the Côte d'Azur to southern Lapland interviewing female victims of sexual assault by migrants...
In particular, I spoke to dozens of women who no longer went themselves, and no longer permitted their children to go, to municipal swimming baths...
In Germany and Scandinavia, where far more people - even in small rural towns - live in apartments, the local municipal pool is an important feature of the summer season.
Or used to be. A fairly typical vignette from that summer:

'Monster pediatrician' cheering deaths of 'MAGA children' in Texas flood gets fired! * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

A Texas pediatrician who took to social media to claim, wildly and irrationally, that Texas flood victims, adults and children, were supporters of President Donald Trump and got "what they voted for" has been fired.

Big Apple driving school rigged licenses for illegal aliens, even if they couldn’t drive - Kevin Haggerty

Investigators expect they’ve only uncovered the “tip of the iceberg” after Operation Road Test exposed a New York City scheme to get illegal aliens driver’s licenses.
As the downward spiral of Gotham continues, many are still hard at work upholding the law, and on Tuesday, that included announcing an indictment of 14 individuals alleged to have participated in a pay-to-drive scheme. 
Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon detailed during a press conference Tuesday that “hundreds if not thousands of people” may have illegally obtained licenses through T&E Driving School in Queens...
  • The school was said to be paying off Department of Motor Vehicle employees from the money provided by Chinese nationals, which ranged between $1,600 and $2,000 per license...
