Over a dozen community members demanded action against what they described as Islamophobic comments made by a Peoria Unified School District governing board member. During a June 9 district board meeting, speakers said Janelle Bowles had shared posts on social media rejecting Islam as a religion, claimed Muslim families indoctrinate their children and suggested the religion would take over the country. Several district staff and parents asked for her resignation or the governing board to formally censure her. Students told the board Bowles’ comments made Muslim students feel unsafe in their own schools and normalized prejudice against them.

New York City was plunged into chaos as thousands of revelers flooded the streets of Midtown after the Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years.
The out-of-control Knicks fans were seen smashing up a cop car outside of Madison Square Garden, while others destroyed MTA and school buses among the madness in the hours after New York’s historic win on Saturday night.
Two maniacs were seen jumping on top of the car and smashing up its front windshield , according to a video posted by FreedomNews TV. [snip] Officers say they haven’t worn this much protection in the streets of the city since COVID
Massachusetts' restrictive gun control laws failed to stop a violent felon from illegally arming himself and opening fire on a busy Cambridge thoroughfare last month, and now the state's draconian gun laws have once again had a high-profile failure after a pair of juveniles held up a lemonade stand in south Boston run by a pair of youngsters.

The police put out a public call Thursday afternoon for information that could lead them to two “unknown” boys, one of whom “displayed a black firearm in his waistband” before the pair grabbed the cash
Convicted killer Karmelo Anthony has claimed he’s “penniless” and can’t afford a lawyer for his appeal — despite his family collecting $625,000 in crowdfunding for his legal defense and “living expenses,” according to a report.
Anthony, 19, made the assertion in a notice of appeal filed after he was found guilty of fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years behind bars, according to a report by ABC WFAA.
Anthony — who was moved to a Texas state prison Wednesday — is “penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to represent me on the appeal,” reads the appeal form.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced Wednesday that Said Abdullahi Ereg, a former Minneapolis grocery and deli owner, had surrendered to federal authorities, marking the first person on the FBI’s new "Most Wanted Fraudsters" list to be taken into custody as federal authorities continue a nationwide fraud crackdown.
Said Abdullahi Ereg, 47, faces charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud and money laundering.
The FBI said Ereg, a former south Minneapolis grocery and deli owner, surrendered to federal authorities less than a week after the Justice Department unveiled its "Most Wanted Fraudsters" list, which is intended to publicly identify individuals charged in major fraud cases.
The “sweetest” elderly Mississippi couple were allegedly killed by a teenage burglar who then shot at cops during a six-hour standoff while barricaded in the house, according to authorities.
Billy Blair, 74, and his wife, Virginia Carol Blair, 71, were killed after 17-year-old Cordarius Hobbs broke into their home last Wednesday, WLBT reported. Hobbs has since been charged with capital murder.
Cops swooped on the Mendenhall home just after noon for a welfare check after worried relatives couldn’t make contact — but they encountered gunfire upon their arrival.
The burglary was already taking place when police arrived and the front door was open.
Mere hours after the GiveSendGo fund supporting Karmelo Anthony was “unpublished,” activists supporting the teen murderer launched a petition calling for the arrest of Austin Metcalf’s brother, Hunter.
The petition, which as of this writing still has fewer than 50 signatures, charges Hunter Metcalf with contributing to his brother’s death by “allegedly assaulting” Anthony.
“As a member of the Black community in America, the ongoing injustices we face daily have reached a tipping point,” the petition reads. “Our community is fed up with the perpetual cycle of violence and discrimination that remains unchecked by a justice system that too often turns a blind eye to our plight.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson is calling for transparency and accountability on COVID-19 vaccine injuries and says he's asking the Trump administration to implement an International Classification of Diseases code for COVID-19 vaccine injuries.
“Trump's [Department of Health and Human Services] has to acknowledge that these injection injuries are real. [snip] Johnson's request follows an investigation of 11 million pages of subpoenaed data on COVID-19 vaccine surveillance data, prompting Senate hearings by the chamber's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, including one June 3 titled, “Plausible Mechanisms of COVID-19 Injections Causing Cancer and Attacks on Scientific Publications."
Karmelo Anthony sobbed Tuesday as he was swiftly convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of fellow high-school jock Austin Metcalf at a track meet — and his furious supporters raged, “This whole thing’s been racist!”
The jury in Collin County deliberated about three hours before finding Anthony, 19, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of the 17-year-old and must now decide whether to put him away for life — prompting the killer’s weeping mom to later take the witness stand and beg for mercy for her son, according to a report by NBC DFW.

A Sudanese migrant has been arrested after a barbaric video shows someone seemingly trying to behead another man in the middle of a UK street in scenes likened to “something out of a horror movie.”
The horrific footage shows the blood-soaked knifeman pinning down his victim in Northern Ireland late Monday in an attack a local politician also branded “barbaric” and “medieval.”[snip]Northern Ireland police initially said “a man in his 30s, believed to be Somalian, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder” before clarifying he was Sudanese, blaming the mix-up on the “fast time investigation[snip}.”Police are still unsure of of a motive for the barbaric attack,
House Democrats spent years selling Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as the competent, sensible Midwesterner the party needed. A bombshell House Oversight Committee report released Monday tells a different story.
The report, titled "The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota's Fraud Explosion," concludes that Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison were aware of credible, systemic fraud in federally funded social programs as early as 2019 and did nothing. Their reasons for inaction weren't legal barriers. They were fear of lawsuits, fear of being called racist, and fear of upsetting the politically active Somali community in Minneapolis, a constituency both men depend on politically.

One man sits at the top of a short escalator, surrounded by trash; he offers a running, often threatening commentary about the end times. If asked to move, he screams. Sometimes he just screams.
In the main plaza, a drug addict in tatters reels across the floor, accosting anyone who slows down — the New Jersey riders, the business travelers, the tourists.
[snip]That’s what happened Sunday night, when a mentally ill man pulled a knife and stabbed and slashed five people. The tragedy that homeless advocates claim never happens happened again.
How many stories have you read recently about the mentally ill pushing people onto subway tracks?

President Barack Hussein Obama wanted a monument in Chicago, and Chicago gave him parkland, patience, tax breaks, years of disruption, and now a tower that looks less like civic memory than self-regard poured into granite.
The Obama Presidential Center opens to the public June 19 in Jackson Park, a historic South Side park once shaped by Frederick Law Olmsted's vision. The Obama Foundation calls it an “awe-inspiring 19-acre campus.”
Many Chicagoans can look at the same structure and see something colder.
The building matches the man's politics. Obama, the 44th president, sold hope in polished speeches while leaving the country more divided than he found it. My criticism of Obama has

I just wrote about an internet trend in which racist blacks were filming themselves violently assaulting random whites—they’re not the brightest bunch—and accusing the unwitting victims of having something to do with the jury in Karmelo Anthony’s recent trial; these assaults proved to be very popular with their social media followers.
But that was yesterday, and today is a new day, and in the case of these same blacks, they’ve already got a new trend: they’re using AI to edit themselves into a picture with Austin Metcalf’s grave, making it look as though they’re urinating on it. As I understand, it started with this guy: (Snip) I am running out
Hillary Clinton Is Back and Lying Again
22 replies
Disgraced Democrat Hillary Clinton is continuing to perpetuate an old lie pushed by liberals to prevent election security. (X) “They’re trying to kick people off of voter rolls,” Clinton said of Republicans promoting basic election integrity measures. “They’re trying to demand…you know…forms of identification most real people don’t have, and most older people, and most rural people don’t have. They are certainly redistricting to make it difficult to elect black representatives or Latino representatives or Democrats. So, that means that we have to be even more intentional in showing up and voting.”
So most “real people” (whatever that means) don’t have a REAL ID driver’s license or a passport?
The Karmelo Anthony Problem
22 replies
On April 2, 2025, Karmelo Anthony went to Memorial High School looking for a fight. Though he was participating in a track meet, he felt the need to bring a knife in his backpack. Once at the school, he sat in the tent of the opposing team. When confronted by Austin Metcalf, who told him to leave, Anthony reached into his backpack and said, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf then grabbed Anthony in an attempt to forcibly move him out of the tent. Anthony then used his knife to stab Metcalf in the heart, killing him almost instantly.
Touch me and see what happens. This is the ethos

President Trump announced the finalized Iran deal is expected Sunday.
"Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement," he wrote on Truth Social.

Back in 2022, then-former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard got blistered for raising concerns that the United States might be funding bio-research labs with dangerous pathogens in foreign countries like war-torn Ukraine.
Republican Mitt Romney – like Gabbard a former presidential candidate – accused her of spreading "treasonous lies" and "Russian propaganda," and many in the news media joined the chorus in a concerted effort to diminish the threat that U.S. tax dollars could one day lead to an accidental virus outbreak from one of those foreign labs.
Four years later, Gabbard turned the tables in epic fashion.
Obama, whose roots are African rather than African-American, rose to power by hijacking the racial resentments and guilty left behind in America after a history of slave and segregation he was never part of.
Now, the one trick pony is at it again, announcing the opening of the grim fortress of a museum in Chicago, on ‘Juneteenth’, trying to link his time in the White House as a notable event for black people up there with the end of slavery.
It’s another cynical and despicable hijacking of American history to serve his own vanity and ego.
The reality, as most black people will admit, is that
Iran's rulers might sign a piece of paper -- as Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat did with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin with the 1993 Oslo Accord – but, like the PLO, its fundamental goals will not change.
The regime cannot abandon "Death to America" or "Death to Israel" without dissolving its own reason for being. Leaving it in place only ensures that it will dig its hooks in even deeper -- especially after President Donald J. Trump leaves office and his successor possibly turns to interests more enjoyable than "enforcement."

Democratic Utah congressional candidate Liban Mohamed has mobilized a nationwide community of Somali-American supporters to drive donations for his campaign to represent Salt Lake City.
Donors with names originating from Somalia or East Africa account for around 85% of Mohamed’s unique donors, and roughly the same share of his total donations, according to FEC filings for April and May.
An identical percentage of his donors are from out of state, as the 27-year-old son of Somali immigrants has toured the country, seeking donations from areas with large Somali-American populations.
In late May, he attended a fundraising event for Somali-Americans in Minneapolis with progressive Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, who endorsed him in April.
The new Europe is going to take some getting used to, but at least it’s clear now what it’s going to be like.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Friday that the United States and Iran have agreed to a framework for the peace deal that would end the months-long conflict in the Middle East.
The confirmation comes amid conflicting reports on the details of the framework and whether it included a ban on Iran developing nuclear weapons.
"Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal," Sharif posted on X. "We can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached"
