After an hourslong standoff, a 29-year-old man suspected of gunning down a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy has been arrested. Kevin Cataneo Salazar is accused of ambushing and killing Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, 30, as the deputy was in his patrol car at an intersection Saturday, Los Angeles Sheriff Robert Luna said. Salazar surrendered after deputies deployed chemical agents at his home Monday. The sheriff has described the deputy’s killer as a “coward” who took Clinkunbroomer’s life “while he’s sitting at a red light, waiting to serve our community.”

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is set to host a special climate summit Wednesday noted more for the missing leaders and emissaries of the world’s most advanced economies than those in attendance.
Guterres has enthusiastically billed the “Climate Ambition Summit” as a “no nonsense” forum where leaders or cabinet ministers will announce specific actions that deliver on their commitments under the Paris Agreement.
It comes two months after he issued a cataclysmic warning “the era of global boiling is here” as Breitbart News reported. Trouble is, the event is diminished because few of the leaders of the world’s most advanced economies will attend or send representatives, AFP reports.
LOS ANGELES — ABC will be airing more “Monday Night Football” games than originally planned.
An additional 10 games originally set to appear only on ESPN will be simulcast on ABC. The additional games will be on network television because of the ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents Disney, Netflix, Amazon and others.
The strikes, which have been going on for months, have delayed most of the upcoming fall television season.
When the NFL schedule was announced in May, ABC had four exclusive regular-season games
Remember James Clapper and John Brennan? It's easy to forget given how much has transpired since both men consistently led the news throughout the Trump administration. At one time, though, their involvement in Crossfire Hurricane, otherwise known as the Russia collusion investigation was really big news.
For those less initiated, here's a quick refresher. Clapper was Barack Obama's DNI and has been credibly accused of lying to Congress. Meanwhile, Brennan is Obama's former CIA Director and has been credibly accused of doing the same. Both men lived on cable news after Trump's inauguration, making all kinds of wild, unsubstantiated claims related to nefarious Russian collusion supposedly committed by
Buried within spending provisions that passed in 2022 is a little-known program that has come to light and is raising eyebrows.
According to reports, journalists who get "harassed" online can seek taxpayer-funded counseling and other services as part of a program that seeks to fight "misinformation." No, I'm not making that up. Your hard-earned tax dollars are going to soothe the souls of aggrieved journalists who get trolled online so they can return to doing the regime's bidding.
The Biden administration has approved $5.7 million in grant funding to George Washington University to create a program that will provide psychological care to journalists who believe they are the targets
Earlier today I wrote about the layoffs happening at Ibram Kendi’s Center for Antiracist Research. More than half of the staff is now gone at a group that launched three years ago with more than $13 million in funding from big donors.
But the situation at the Center for Antiracist Research is part of a larger pattern. The institutional left in general has been laying off people in droves. Last month Justice Democrats laid off half its staff. Back in May, Planned Parenthood laid off 10%-20% of its national workforce. The Sierra Club laid off workers in April. And the Sunrise Movement laid off workers last year.

Federal prosecutors are probing whether Tesla’s company resources were used to supply personal benefits to CEO Elon Musk as early as 2017, farther back then previously known, according to people familiar with the investigation who also said prosecutors have made allusions to the involvement of a grand jury—indicating potential criminal charges, the Wall Street Journal reported. KEY FACTS
Prosecutors have reportedly broadened their probe to include transactions between Tesla and other Musk-connected entities and whether any perks Musk received were properly reported according to SEC regulations.
President Joe Biden warned of the risks of climate change and Russia's “naked aggression” in Ukraine as he addressed the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.
As the world faces myriad crises, Mr Biden sought to strike a unifying tone on key issues including creating consensus on tackling the climate crisis.
“I understand the duty my country has to lead in this critical moment, to work with countries in every region,” Mr Biden said in his third address to the General Assembly since taking office in 2021.
The United States is reportedly exploring a security agreement resembling those with Asian allies as an incentive for Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel.
According to The New York Times, Saudi and U.S. dignitaries are discussing terms of a mutual defense treaty that would resemble the robust military pacts that Washington has with its close allies Japan and South Korea – a central component in U.S. President Joe Biden’s high-stakes diplomacy to get Riyadh to normalize relations with Israel. Sourcing anonymous U.S. officials, the report said that under such an agreement, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia would pledge to provide military support if the other country is attacked
SAN FRANCISCO - Hackers who breached casino giants MGM Resorts International (MGM.N) and Caesars Entertainment (CZR.O) in recent weeks also broke into the systems of three other companies in the manufacturing, retail, and technology space, a security executive familiar with the matter said.
David Bradbury, chief security officer of the identity management company Okta, said five of the company's clients, including MGM and Caesars, had fallen victim to hacking groups known as ALPHV and Scattered Spider since August. In an interview with Reuters, Bradbury didn't name the other companies, but said Okta was cooperating with official investigations into the breaches.
The hacks have cast fresh spotlight on ransomware
Getting a cold sucks. Sometimes you even think you are going to die. At least if you are a man. If you are a woman you soldier on as if nothing is wrong.
At least that is what women tell me. Men are babies, women are tough as nails. Who am I to disagree (if I value my life)? As the CDC and the public health establishment keep pushing dire warnings out to the public and begging people to get vaccinated, the actual disease has done what almost all respiratory diseases do: become less dangerous.
That’s not due to some version of compassion on the part of the virus.
Dominion Voting Systems will return to court in September 2024, just weeks before a pivotal presidential election, with another defamation lawsuit. This time, the target is the conservative news network NewsMax.
The television network reported on many of the claims of a stolen election in 2020 that came from outgoing president Donald Trump and his allies. The claims about Dominion's voting machines, like the ones that landed Fox News in hot water and led to a massive $787 million settlement, have never been fully proven and many have been outright disproven.

on White House documents marked classified: Sources 16 replies
One of former President Donald Trump's long-time assistants told federal investigators that Trump repeatedly wrote to-do lists for her on documents from the White House that were marked classified, according to sources familiar with her statements.
As described to ABC News, the aide, Molly Michael, told investigators that -- more than once -- she received requests or taskings from Trump that were written on the back of notecards, and she later recognized those notecards as sensitive White House materials -- with visible classification markings -- used to brief Trump while he was still in office about phone calls with foreign leaders or other international-related matters.

John Fetterman is laughing off the blame he's taking for the new Senate dress code, chuckling over Republicans 'losing their minds' about the matter.
'I don't know why the right side seems to be losing their minds over it,' the Democratic senator from Pennsylvania told Fox News.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer decided to no longer enforce an official 'business' dress code for members of the Senate, which many saw as a concession to Fetterman, 54, who is often seen wearing shorts and a hoodie.
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., while announcing his 10-point plan to end the plastics pollution crisis, said he would ban fracking.
The process of fracking involves high pressure injections of liquid into underground rocks and layers to open fissures and extract oil or gas.
The United Nations says each year, 19-23 million tons of plastic waste leaks into waterways, polluting rivers, seas, and lakes. [snip] The move would also drive the price of oil above $150 per barrel, while killing state budgets for energy producing states.
On Tuesday, the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight held a hearing titled, “Oversight of United States Capitol Security: Assessing Security Failures on January 6, 2021.”
Rep. Barry Loudermilk heads the subcommittee. Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven A. Sund testified before the committee.
Chief Steven Sund has been outspoken of Nancy Pelosi and her failures to secure the US Capitol that day.
It has been widely reported that President Trump asked for the National Guard three days in advance of January 6. But Pelosi turned him down. She refused to call in the National Guard

Pope Francis engaged former U.S. President Bill Clinton via zoom Monday, stressing the urgency of addressing the climate change “catastrophe,” the migration “crisis,” and war. (snip) The pope reiterated his intention of releasing a second document on the environment later this month, eight years after the publication of his encyclical “Laudato Sì” on the same theme.
In late August, Francis said it is time (for) world leaders to “listen to science and institute a rapid and equitable transition to end the era of fossil fuel.” It is “absurd to permit the continued exploration and expansion of fossil fuel infrastructures,” he declared in his message for the September 1 Feast of Creation.
New York City is considering a measure that would essentially remove statues of Founding Fathers such as George Washington, all while facing a migrant crisis costing taxpayers billions.
According to a list found in New York City’s council agenda for Tuesday, September 19, officials will consider a bill that would: …require the Public Design Commission (PDC) to publish a plan to remove works of art on City property that depict a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefitted economically from slavery, or who participated in systemic crimes against indigenous peoples or other crimes against humanity.

The ongoing struggles of President Joe Biden have led to much speculation that he won’t be running for reelection next year after all and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) shared his theory on who could be tabbed as his replacement.
With polls piling up showing that voters have serious questions about the geriatric career politician’s age and health issues, the Democratic Party is desperately in need of a savior if it becomes necessary to pull the plug on Biden. And there are few who have the star power to salvage control of the White House.
One of them is, of course, former first lady Michelle Obama and the Texas Republican thinks that she
Washington—Ray Epps, an Arizona man who became the center of a conspiracy theory about Jan. 6, 2021, has been charged with a misdemeanor offense in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot, according to court papers filed Tuesday.
Epps, a former Marine who claimed in a lawsuit filed this year that Fox News Channel made him a scapegoat for the Capitol riot, is charged with a count of disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds, court records show. Messages seeking comment from an attorney representing Epps in his lawsuit against Fox were not immediately returned Tuesday. There was no attorney listed in the court docket in the criminal case

A biological male was crowned homecoming queen at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri on Friday.

“thank you so much oak park. i am so overwhelmed with love and gratitude, and it is all your doing. i am forever thankful that you have chosen me to be your homecoming queen,” Tristan wrote on Instagram.

On Monday, Democrat Mayoral candidate John Gomes filed a lawsuit challenging the results of his party’s primary in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and requesting a new Democratic primary.
This comes after a video surfaced showing a Democrat clerk inserting illegal ballots into a drop box, which prompted an investigation by the Bridgeport Police Department for “possible misconduct.”
The Gateway Pundit reported that Gomes’ campaign released a damning video on Saturday showing evidence of election fraud in the recent Bridgeport Democratic primary.
The video posted on Gomes campaign’s Facebook page shows a woman dropping stacks of ‘illegal’ ballots into an absentee ballot box
The Biden administration is setting a booby trap in case a Republican wins the presidency in 2024.
On Friday, the White House unveiled a proposed rule that would make it even harder than in the past for an incoming Republican president to wrestle control of the left-leaning federal bureaucracy and actually implement the conservative policies promised to voters. Of the 2.2 million federal civil workers, only 4,000 are presidential appointees. The rest stay in their jobs, from one administration to the next, protected by rules that make it nearly impossible to discipline or replace them.
It’s official: Democrats make everything worse. It was a sentiment long felt by many in the country, but after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) recent decision to nix the Senate’s dress code and, in turn, obliterate the regard, respect, and dignity of the office, Schumer and the Democrats erased any doubt about ushering in societal rot and the nation’s decline. It’s an embarrassment, and every Democratic politician should be ashamed. And that includes Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), believed to be the impetus for Schumer’s decision to eliminate the dress code. But the prestige of the Senate shouldn’t be lowered
