Watters updating report on building. Once in, he could go to any floor. He killed security guard in lobby. Street sureillance video shows his weapon was a long gun which he carried at his side walking down street. Watters said he looked like a light-skinned black or ME.

I've gotten very tired of the use of words 'suspect' and 'alleged'. If you have witnesses and/or photographic evidence of him doing it, he's not suspect or alleged... he's a perp...like that kid down in Texas who admitted that he stabbed the other kid at a track meet..... don't even get me started on that.

I don't want to know anything about these people that go on killing sprees. And I don't care if they have a manifesto. They're usually killed at the scene or go to prison forever. That's all I need to know.

They keep saying he used an M4. That's a military full-auto rifle - a 'machine gun'. I seriously doubt that's what it was - maybe an AR-15 type rifle, which is not full auto. But if it really was an M4, that raises a whole bunch of other questions! But then the police commissioner said they found a 'revolver' and extra magazines in his car, so I'm not sure she is that familiar with firearms.

A "revolver" and "extra magazines"??? Total idiots in the NYPD info service, clearly know zero about guns. Always the way. And, yes, it is NOT "an M4" unless he stole if from the US military and it's capable of firing full auto, meaning it's a machine gun. Extremely unlikely. . If it is a civilian model of some AR-15, 99.999% probability, it is 'one shot with one trigger pull'.....just like a revolver from 1895, although this rifle is not a revolver and does use magazines.

I saw the video on Newsmax and the cops were just running thither and yon, waving their arms. Some surrounded a female and they running up and down the street with her. Not sure what she had to do with the shooting. Greg Kelly on Newsmax was noting how Mayor Adams tried to make his speech political, then decided that wasn't a good idea, and how there was such a lack of emotion from the other speakers. One of their cops was dead and was't going home to his pregnant wife and child or children. Who would want to be in law enforcement today, this is what a lack of leadership and not following the rule of law has led to.

The terms Ukraine and government corruption are synonymous regardless of who is funding the schemes. After Volodymyr Zelenskyy grabbed more power by stripping two key anti-corruption agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), of their independence, protests erupted. European leaders immediately noticed the intent of the power move and threatened Zelenskyy with a withdrawal of support. The current dictatorship of Zelensky and his small team then quickly reversed course. However, the damage is done, and once again Ukranian corruption is center stage.

In New Planned Parenthood Ruling, Obama

Upon assuming the bench, all new federal judges take an oath to “faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me … under the Constitution and laws of the United States.” So, why is Massachusetts-based District Court Judge Indira Talwani flouting that pledge? On Monday, the Obama appointee (and Democrat donor) issued a revised preliminary injunction that attempts to block provisions from a recently passed law prohibiting the federal funding of Planned Parenthood. Talwani previously handed down a similar overreaching injunction in the case last week after initially granting the pro-abortion plaintiffs’ request for a temporary restraining order earlier this month.

In Catholic churches across Manhattan and Brooklyn, Salomé captivated the congregation, uplifting the faithful with her soulful singing and skilled organ playing.

But for years, Salomé’s bashful smile and angelic voice concealed a secret — one not even known in the shadows of the confessional. She was a he; Salomé was born Miles. His story is one that’s becoming all too familiar: A child with unconventional interests, swayed by strange ideologies on the Internet, is hustled by doctors into a life of medical dependency — only to find himself questioning everything years later.

Senior intelligence officials strenuously fought the demands of former FBI Director James Comey and other Obama intelligence chiefs to include the false and unverified Steele dossier in an official assessment of Russian activities ordered by President Barack Obama in the closing weeks of his presidency, records reviewed exclusively by The Federalist show. The records, which are related to ongoing criminal investigations into Comey and other top intelligence officials for their roles in launching the Russia collusion hoax, provide damning evidence of Obama intelligence chiefs’ malfeasance beyond the explosive information released Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

In the depths of the “Washington swamp,” few figures embody the betrayal of true conservative values like Senator Lindsey Graham.

The Donald Trump-Russia collusion scandal that first broke in December 2016 and roared on until April 2019 has no parallel in our history — it’s not even close. As president-elect and later as sitting president, Trump was accused by the country’s intelligence and law-enforcement apparatus of conspiring with a hostile power to subvert the 2016 election and sneak a crooked path to the White House. Along the way, a damning Intelligence Community Assessment was issued, a major FBI investigation, code-named Crossfire Hurricane, targeted the president, and a special counsel, Robert Mueller, was granted a team of prosecutors and a budget of millions to bring the guilty to justice.

The gunman who killed four people before turning the gun on himself, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, was trying to target the National Football League headquarters, NYC Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday. Investigators believe Tamura mistakenly took the wrong elevator, leading him to Rudin Management instead, Adams told NewsNation local affiliate WPIX. Tamura reportedly had a three-page suicide note inside his pocket, which claimed he had a brain injury from a contact sport and blamed the NFL. Tamura, who played high school football, reportedly wanted his brain studied after his death. An official motive has not yet been released.
